16:13 <bdmurray> nope
16:14 <slangasek> [TOPIC] Bugs
16:15 <bdmurray> As I mentioned bug 1742147 is rather new.
16:15 <ubottu> bug 1742147 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 fails with triggers looping" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1742147
16:15 <bdmurray> http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-incoming-bug-tasks.html
16:15 <bdmurray> infinity was talking about it being related to bamfdaemon but I don't think he looked into it far enough to do anything
16:15 <slangasek> [LINK] http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-incoming-bug-tasks.html#foundations-bugs
16:15 <rbalint> bdmurray: i was just about to upgrade, thanks!
16:16 <bdmurray> rbalint: the upgrade completed for me
16:18 <bdmurray> so does somebody want to take that bug?
16:18 <slangasek> personally, or on behalf of the team? :)
16:19 <slangasek> I think we should take it onto the backlog
16:19 <rbalint> slangasek: i guess we already own it as a team
16:19 <slangasek> rbalint: not yet, it's 'incoming' :)
16:19 <xnox> bdmurray, i'm yet to reach the triggers stage
16:19 <slangasek> I think we should take it
16:19 <xnox> still on setting packages up, and answering debconf prompts
16:19 <slangasek> (done)
16:20 <bdmurray> bug 1742301 is new too
16:20 <ubottu> bug 1742301 in software-properties (Ubuntu) "/usr/bin/software-properties-gtk:UnboundLocalError:show_drivers:gather_device_data" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1742301
16:20 <bdmurray> its possible that's Alberto's code
16:22 <slangasek> bdmurray: how hot is this crash on the tracker?
16:23 <bdmurray> slangasek: thousands of crashes for 16.04 but not many for current releases which I don't understand since the code is the same
16:24 <slangasek> ok. maybe related to changes to the properties of the packages in the archive as a result of SRUs
16:25 <slangasek> but you say "not many", which is not the same as "none", hmm
16:25 <bdmurray> slangasek: well 8 is close enough to none for me
16:25 <slangasek> bdmurray: could you leave it on our incoming list for now, but reach out to Alberto to see if he has time to work on it?
16:26 <bdmurray> slangasek: okay
16:26 <slangasek> then we can pick it up ourselves if he doesn't
16:26 <gaughen> bdmurray, cc me please when you reach out and his manager Alex
16:27 <slangasek> bdmurray: anything else on bugs?
16:27 <bdmurray> bug 1737445 the reporter can not recreate it and neither could I
16:27 <ubottu> bug 1737445 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Bionic) "release upgrader doesn't re-enable updates after failure" [High,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1737445
16:28 <bdmurray> that's on rls-bb-tracking
16:28 <bdmurray> I wonder if we should drop it or test it harder.
16:29 <rbalint> I reopened LP: #1663157 because guest account is disabled by default but not fixed should we reprioritize it?
16:29 <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1663157 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "Guest session processes are not confined in 16.10 and newer releases" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1663157
16:29 <slangasek> I think I've probably encountered that issue before
16:29 <slangasek> but I'm not sure how high priority it should be
16:29 <slangasek> (re: 1737445)
16:30 <slangasek> it always requires manually recovery... otoh it's always a knock-on effect from some other serious bug
16:31 <slangasek> bdmurray: anyway, I don't have a clear reproducer for it, so that would take some work to figure out
16:32 <slangasek> would we want to put a card on the backlog for somebody to spike on tracing the code?
16:32 <bdmurray> that seems fine to me
16:33 <rbalint> how about creating autopkgtest test for ubuntu-release-upgrader similar to https://github.com/mvo5/unattended-upgrades/commit/b21f66510f212ad509363c26e8799b8564e9bd98 ?
16:33 <slangasek> ok
16:33 <slangasek> re: 1663157
16:34 <slangasek> rbalint: you've assigned it to yourself, so you're interested in diving in and fixing it?
16:34 <slangasek> I would appreciate having guest session back
16:34 <slangasek> so that sounds fine to me ;)
16:35 <rbalint> slangasek: i'm interested and worked on it but i wanted to double-check with you
16:35 <rbalint> slangasek: to take it back
16:35 <slangasek> rbalint: if you're asking me whether it fits in with Bionic plans architecturally, +1
16:35 <slangasek> rbalint: if you're asking whether it's a priority for you to work on it, I defer to gaughen ;)
16:36 <rbalint> slangasek: ok, we will sort this out :-)
16:42 <slangasek> alrighty, anything else on bugs?
16:43 <slangasek> [TOPIC] AOB
16:43 <slangasek> Anything else today?
16:43 <cyphermox> nothing from me.
16:43 <bdmurray> Monday is a US holiday but I'm not taking it.
16:43 <fginther> I'll take bdmurray's
16:43 <gaughen> I"m super done slangasek
16:44 <cyphermox> ah, well, tomorrow I'd go in the city to do testing on that Starbucks Arubanetworks DNS crap.
16:44 <slangasek> I am also not taking Monday, but I'll be taking a stack of swap days after the sprint
16:44 <cyphermox> (I'll still be normally reachable, unless I'm in a broken captive portal to test a fix)
16:44 <slangasek> so not back until the 25th
