20:06:44 <wilcal> #topic Who's new?
20:06:52 <wilcal> Anyone new here?
20:06:56 <wilcal> probably not
20:07:12 <MageiaTJ> Not if it's just the two of us.
20:07:26 <wilcal> #time change
20:07:48 <wilcal> #topic time change
20:08:07 <wilcal> So I think we're back to 19:00UTC next Thursday
20:08:28 <wilcal> so I'll put that on the QA mail list during the week
20:08:46 <MageiaTJ> No, it stays at 20:00 until Spring.
20:09:13 <wilcal> Ok then I'll leave it at that and it will be an hour earlier, back to noon, here
20:09:26 <wilcal> #topic M7 Status
20:09:27 <MageiaTJ> Next week, if it's at 20:00, you and I will attend at the usual time.
20:09:38 <wilcal> I will be here. Very likely
20:09:58 <MageiaTJ> 3pm here.
20:10:13 <wilcal> The only Thursday at risk for me is 22 Nov as that's "Turkey Day" here in the States
20:10:28 <wilcal> # topic
20:10:34 <wilcal> #topic M7 Status
20:10:55 <wilcal> I didn't try a net install on M7 this week as I was working another issue
20:11:06 <wilcal> I havne't heard any changes
20:11:17 <wilcal> anything you've heard
20:11:22 <MageiaTJ> I haven't heard anything on isos, and do expect to for some time.
20:11:37 <MageiaTJ> don't expect to
20:11:47 <ajhlinuxuser> I have a server running M6, how would I know a sensible time to switch over to M7 for testing those packages?
20:11:57 <wilcal> Hello filip you have any info on the status of M7?
20:12:38 <wilcal> I start looking at it as soon as I can get a successful netinstall and boot to GUI
20:13:38 <ajhlinuxuser> Assuming nobody joins me on my server, and I only test a few - should I move up to M7 and try packages ready for testing for M7, or continue to test packages for M6?
20:13:57 <ajhlinuxuser> (it's ca-on-adam btw)
20:14:00 <wilcal> sounds like a plan
20:14:23 <wilcal> as I say as soon as I can get to a GUI on M7 with a netinstall I'll start looking at it
20:14:35 <MageiaTJ> I think for now, stay with M6. But it's up to you.
20:14:42 <Bequimao> ajhlinuxuser: why not dualboot Mga6 and Mga7?
20:14:53 <wilcal> I've kinda started making preps here now and that's one of my issues to discuss
20:15:21 <ajhlinuxuser> I don't think that the server can handle dual boot... That'd be something I'd do at home on my own hardware.
20:15:24 <wilcal> I do a lot of Vbox clients rather then dual boots
20:15:31 <filip_k> hi wilcal. no info on mga7. but I would like it this year due tp php7
20:16:01 <wilcal> I also have a modular HD system on three of my systems and about a dozen removable replaceable HDs
20:16:40 <wilcal> Assume if we get to mid Dec then most Europeans go on Holiday so I don't see much likely of that
20:16:55 <wilcal> I still think late 1st qtr 19
20:17:53 <wilcal> So I've a couple issues to raise here
20:17:53 <MageiaTJ> I'm not surprised that it's not going as fast as we might want. Seems like something always comes up to mess with us.
20:18:01 <wilcal> yup
20:18:23 <wilcal> #topic Issue: Enabling nvidia390.87 on Fermi hardware
20:18:46 <wilcal> a lot of chatter on the QA mailing list. Anyone here familiar with this?
20:19:05 <ajhlinuxuser> no
20:19:07 <wilcal> is this old or new nvidia hardware?
20:19:41 <ajhlinuxuser> I just have an nvidia gaming card that's about 4 yrs old now.
20:19:45 <MageiaTJ> I saw it. I thought it had been resolved by closing backports.
20:20:25 <wilcal> OK it just seemed to take up a lot of cycles for folks so for today we'll consider it closed
20:20:48 <wilcal> #topic Issue: UEFI boot in a Vbox client bug
20:20:59 <MageiaTJ> Not "closing" Disabling
20:21:06 <wilcal> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23785
20:21:09 <[mbot> [ 23785 – M6.1 UEFI install does not boot in a Vbox client ]
20:21:41 <wilcal> So I want to switch over to UEFI on M7 and stumbled across a Vbox Bug
20:22:07 <wilcal> fpr some reason Mageia, or Vbox, in UEFI are not happy with each other
20:22:38 <wilcal> So with Martin helping me I found a work around
20:22:54 <wilcal> Maybe a blocker for M7 I don't know yet
20:23:03 <wilcal> It's all in the bug report
20:24:29 <wilcal> Lets move on
20:24:30 <wilcal> #topic Testing Updates & Backports
20:25:31 <wilcal> Long list
20:25:34 <MageiaTJ> Lots of 32-bit OKs. Not so many for 64-bit.
20:26:24 <MageiaTJ> Herman's been busy.
20:26:26 <wilcal> Ya, there's an ok on the Vbox testing and I've got to take a look at that right after this meeting
20:26:39 <wilcal> That's a good thing
20:26:56 <MageiaTJ> That one works OK for me.
20:27:22 <wilcal> Do you have an nvidia platform?
20:27:40 <wilcal> that's been the curve ball for Vbox testing in the past
20:27:53 <MageiaTJ> I have an older nvidia card. Uses nvidia340.
20:28:07 <wilcal> Ahhh then it's probably ok
20:28:21 <MageiaTJ> But I didn't test it on that machine yet.
20:28:33 <wilcal> General question. Is nvidia still all that relavent? or important?
20:28:41 <MageiaTJ> I will this evening.
20:28:47 <wilcal> Same here
20:29:03 <wilcal> anything else in there other then it's a long list
20:29:57 <MageiaTJ> Not to me. The only reason that machine has the nvidia card was that I ran into a problem with the onboard Radeon and libreoffice.
20:30:38 <MageiaTJ> I think that problem has been resolved. I don't use that machine much, anyway.
20:30:49 <wilcal> The intel graphics chip sets have gotten so good that I see no reason for me to use an nvidia card
20:30:55 <wilcal> I'm not a gamer
20:31:05 <MageiaTJ> Nor am I.
20:31:11 <wilcal> OK moving on
20:31:13 <wilcal> #topic Anything else?
20:31:29 <wilcal> Anything else we need to discuss
20:32:04 <ajhlinuxuser> pass.
20:32:14 <wilcal> I don't have anything
20:32:15 <MageiaTJ> Nothing here.
20:32:26 <wilcal> other then the two issues I mentioned above
20:32:36 <wilcal> So lets count it down
20:32:37 <MageiaTJ> Just keep working on those updates...
20:32:48 <wilcal> Thanks all for being here and work the updates
