As you said - career applications. 19:05:57 <Brian___> yup 19:06:16 <lewyssmith> Brian___, Updates *are* harder. 19:06:50 <Brian___> so makes for interesting testing. 19:07:59 <lewyssmith> Herman deserves a big pat on the back for his testing. He does difficult things. 19:08:17 <Brian___> Steam 32 - still needs testing, I installed and logged in. VM is too slow, so will need ot go to physical AMD hardware 19:08:28 <wilcal_> back I think my laptop overheated and froze 19:08:28 <Brian___> yeah 19:08:49 <Brian___> @wilcal - sitting up on the roof again ;-) 19:08:56 <wilcal_> any perminate change we can make to a Vbox client to speed things up tmb? 19:09:33 <wilcal_> There's that command I've been using that really speed things up 19:09:33 <Brian___> uh oh 19:09:44 <wilcal_> seems to be still hee 19:09:46 <wilcal_> here 19:10:00 <lewyssmith> What command? 19:10:41 <wilcal_> ethtool -K enp0s3 gro off 19:10:46 <wilcal_> in a terminal 19:10:50 <Brian___> I'll drop it on my old AMD box and see what happens, nothing lost if it kills it 19:11:11 <Brian___> hold on doing a copy/paste 19:11:18 <wilcal_> enp0s3 is the network connection, can be eth0 19:11:30 <wilcal_> in a root terminal 19:11:36 <Brian___> got it 19:11:39 <wilcal_> makes things really really fast for that session 19:11:47 <Brian___> thank you 19:12:06 <wilcal_> I don't know how to put that in the start up configs 19:13:25 <lewyssmith> It is really obscure. where did you find it? 19:13:26 <Brian___> I will give it a try 19:14:27 <wilcal_> tmb posted it in the Vbox bug we're working on 19:15:17 <Brian___> does anybody keep a list of who knows how to test xxxx 19:15:20 <Brian___> ? 19:15:56 <Brian___> some of those packages are obscure to say the least 19:16:15 <wilcal_> in the listing of bugs to be worked on the right side you can open past bugs for the same app 19:16:23 <wilcal_> yes, some of them are very obscure 19:16:27 <lewyssmith> I have had this idea before. It seems something we could address. 19:16:48 <lewyssmith> Even solicit users of special software to test updates. 19:17:16 <Brian___> that might be interesting idea - kind of a side blog 19:17:24 <lewyssmith> Or a Wiki. 19:17:26 <wilcal_> some are hardware specific 19:17:37 <Luigi12_work> the headless mode in virtualbox 5 is really cool 19:17:50 <wilcal_> take it's head off 19:17:51 <Luigi12_work> (drop down selection next to Start) 19:17:55 <lewyssmith> Yes, we need a register of special HW. Some bugs are stuck because of that. 19:17:59 <Brian___> I have remote support set up, gotta try it sometime 19:18:08 <Brian___> yeah 19:18:22 <wilcal_> David ( luigi ) and I sometimes agree to just make sure it installs and upgrades without error 19:18:57 <wilcal_> I've got a couple I've got to have discussed here today 19:18:57 <lewyssmith> Better to find someone who *can* test it, though. 19:19:09 <lewyssmith> wilcal_, Go ahead. 19:19:32 <Brian___> otherwise having fun - in my spare bandwidth with some of them 19:19:53 <wilcal_> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16491 19:19:54 <[mbot> Bug 16491: normal, Normal, qa-bugs, NEW , owncloud new security issues fixed upstream in 8.0.5, owncloud-8.0.3-1.mga5.src.rpm 19:20:03 <lewyssmith> Luigi12_work: Welcome. 19:20:18 <wilcal_> Seems to not work at all in M5. I need someone else to confirm this 19:20:41 <wilcal_> probably never tested on the M5 platform during M5 development 19:20:44 <lewyssmith> I can try that - but need to install it from scratch. *That* takes time. 19:20:53 <Luigi12_work> blino is using it, so it should work 19:20:59 <Brian___> I've done owncloud a bit - could do that on physical hardware though. I'm wondering if VBOOX 19:21:07 <wilcal_> https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16437 19:21:08 <[mbot> Bug 16437: normal, Normal, qa-bugs, NEW , update request: virtualbox 5, virtualbox 19:21:08 <Brian___> a bit means - twice 19:21:41 <wilcal_> This is a major uptick of Vbox Vbox4 -> Vbvox5 Lots of problems with M4 clients ( no sound ) 19:21:43 <Brian___> oh that one 19:22:16 <wilcal_> Maybe we should wait for M4 to go obsolete and only suppport Vbox in M5 and Cauldron 19:22:19 <wilcal_> M6 19:22:45 <Luigi12_work> yeah I think tmb said in here last week that that was a possibility 19:23:00 <Luigi12_work> bummer though, I'd like to use it for our next class here (I guess I could still) 19:23:00 <tmb> wilcal_, I couldn't reproduce the sound issue with mga4 client... it worked after install from live KDE i586 for me 19:23:31 <wilcal_> FWIW I was successful to Install a Linux Mint 17 64-bit in my M5 + Vbox 5 box 19:23:32 <Luigi12_work> actually maybe it's good since I don't want it to get upgraded until my current class is over (i.e. for another month) 19:23:37 <Brian___> could hardware used be part of it? 19:23:41 <wilcal_> I think this is a hardware issue 19:23:47 <wilcal_> some work some don't 19:24:05 <Brian___> yeah - when I switched per tmb - sound worked 19:24:06 <wilcal_> M5 + Vbox 5 seem to work well 19:24:23 <wilcal_> When does M4 go obsolete? 19:24:28 <Brian___> is Vbox 4 still supported? 19:24:43 <wilcal_> Yes M4 is still supported 19:24:54 <wilcal_> I think until Sept or Oct 19:25:26 <Brian___> so keep m4 and Vbox 4 together until ... 19:25:41 <wilcal_> Yes that probably would be a good idea 19:25:55 <tmb> vbox 4 is still supported yes, it even got a security update I'd need to push 19:26:26 <wilcal_> Gratious that's a lot off testing for me 19:27:28 <Brian___> it is one more piece to keep folks motivated to move up to M5. 19:27:29 <tmb> so either we push vbox5 to mga4 too for tests (as that also fixes the security issue) or I nuke vbox5 from testing for now 19:28:04 <wilcal_> I say wait till after M4 goes obsolete. That's what I say 19:28:07 <Brian___> I have lots of opinions but no authority -- you're call tmb 19:28:53 <Brian___> would that mean pulling vbox5 from mga5? 19:29:04 <Brian___> until Oct? 19:29:08 <tmb> point is as discussed last meeting. mga4 and mga5 should stay in sync to make easier on QA 19:29:17 <Brian___> got it 19:29:40 <wilcal_> When does M4 go obsolete 19:29:45 <tmb> otherwise you get guest additions mismatches between mga4 and mga5 19:30:19 <tmb> M4 will be EOL ~ Sep 21st 19:30:28 <Brian___> that's soon 19:30:49 <lewyssmith> Too soon after the lateness of M5. 19:30:57 <wilcal_> Ya, not very long to wait 19:31:03 <wilcal_> Then this issue goes away 19:31:56 <tmb> lewyssmith, well, we extended the support ~3 months to give people time to prepare for upgrades... 19:32:01 <wilcal_> I can test and verify then we can push Vbox 5 to M5 19:32:09 <wilcal_> on 21 sept 19:33:00 <lewyssmith> Advisories: Dave is doing a sterling job, just coping (with help). He has asked me to jump in, but there are too many updates at present so we agree I should concentrate there. 19:33:01 <tmb> wilcal_, no need to test more vbox5 for now if we nuke it as there will be som 5.0.x update by then 19:33:16 <wilcal_> sounds like a plan 19:33:31 <wilcal_> I don't want this to chew up your time tmb 19:33:56 <tmb> yeah, well it works for me, so I use it :) 19:34:06 <wilcal_> thanks man 19:34:22 <wilcal_> executive decision :-)) 19:34:29 <wilcal_> lets move on 19:34:47 <wilcal_> any other discussions on bugs other then there's lots of them 19:35:20 <lewyssmith> Yes!

It seems to require that you have POP3 & IMAP server. Is this correct? 19:36:30 <wilcal_> You've already lost me 19:36:43 <wilcal_> If it does then it's more a career then a test 19:36:55 <Brian___> intersting - I was confused whether it was a client base software or mail server 19:37:27 <lewyssmith> Claire said once: "Edited /etc/roundcubemail/main.inc.php and configured imap/smtp server and enabled the installer." 19:37:31 <Brian___> seems to be a web-based mail client, but looked complicated 19:38:08 <lewyssmith> Maybe it is a server in itself. 19:38:25 <Brian___> don't know for sure - it looks like 10 hrs to get running to me 19:38:40 <wilcal_> Then it becomes a career 19:38:43 <lewyssmith> I was hoping David might know... 19:39:22 <tmb> https://roundcube.net/ 19:39:48 <lewyssmith> I looked! 19:39:54 <lewyssmith> One big problem starting with raw Mageia5 is having to re-install & configure major applications again. 19:40:26 <Luigi12_work> tmb: if we nuke vbox5, can you just move it to backports testing for now? 19:40:32 <Brian___> <yes> 19:41:03 <Brian___> sorry you jumped in toquick @lewyssmith <yes> 19:41:14 <wilcal_> sounds like a plan 19:41:24 <lewyssmith> Brian___, : I understood. 19:42:33 <lewyssmith> I cannot do 16515 because I have no network. 19:42:39 <lewyssmith> bug 16515 19:42:40 <[mbot> Bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16515 normal, Normal, qa-bugs, NEW , openafs new security issues CVE-2015-328[2-5] and CVE-2015-3287, openafs-1.6.11-1.mga5.src.rpm 19:43:29 <wilcal_> Do you use a router lewys? 19:43:55 <wilcal_> and just on computer 19:43:56 <lewyssmith> I don't think so. 19:43:59 <wilcal_> one 19:44:09 <lewyssmith> Just one stand-alone box. 19:44:38 <wilcal_> last count here was 8 active computers :-0 19:44:49 <tmb> well, you can use vms to get more computers 19:44:49 <wilcal_> 4 of them with modular hard drive systems 19:44:57 <lewyssmith> And not enough memory or horse-power for VBox. 19:44:59 <wilcal_> Vbox works well for that 19:45:20 <wilcal_> bridged network connection and router gives you many computers 19:45:42 <Brian___> I'm not familiar with openafs - I guess I could delve 19:45:52 <lewyssmith> Actually, I ma not sure now that the bug *is* network, but it is completely incomprehensible. 19:46:09 <wilcal_> Go for it brian 19:46:20 <Brian___> ok - I'll try to figure out where or how it is used 19:46:43 <Brian___> then see what nukes 19:47:13 <lewyssmith> Claire has already commented, and it looks very specialised. 19:47:46 <wilcal_> if you can figure it out Brian make sure it installs and updates ook 19:48:05 <wilcal_> it's a security update i think 19:48:07 <Brian___> ok - yes seems very "cloud" like 19:48:12 <wilcal_> not a functional thing 19:48:59 <wilcal_> ya it's a security thing 19:49:38 <wilcal_> lots in there to tinker with 19:49:39 <lewyssmith> Bug 16081 I understand not.
