Bug notification emails - apology


Hello,

Over the Christmas break, Launchpad stopped sending bug notification
emails.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience that this has caused you. We've found
the bug responsible and will have the fix rolled out by Thursday (4th Jan).

We have pretty good quality control but obviously it wasn't thorough
enough for us to catch this bug before the Christmas holiday. We're now
reviewing how we test changes to Launchpad and will implement a new QA
process for the bug mail system.

I'm glad to say that no data was lost. You may not receive notification
of all bug changes straight away, though, as we are currently looking at
the best way to process the backlog.

Again, I'm sorry that we haven't given you the service you expect.

If you have any questions, please reply to this email or find me in
#launchpad on irc.freenode.net.

Thanks.

Next kernel upload has full -g vmlinux's for i386 and amd64 in the linux
debug packages.

[Bug 14908] Re: swsusp fails after automatic kernel upgrade

The postinst now touches: /var/run/do-not-suspend

So anything that needs to know should fail to suspend when this file
exists.

** Changed in: linux-source-2.6.17 (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: linux-source-2.6.17 => kernel-package
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

Bug notifications flowing again


Hello,

I'm pleased to say that Launchpad's bug status notification emails are
now flowing again!

We've started to send out the backlog of bug notifications. When you
receive them, you may notice that there is one email per bug, no matter
how many status changes there have been. To reduce the number of emails
you receive, we have collated all the information about one bug into the
same email.

I'm sorry that we haven't given you the service that we should. As a
result of the problem, we have now improved the our quality control.

If you have any questions, please email me or find me in #launchpad on
irc.freenode.net.

[Bug 26426] Re: yaboot cannot handle kernels and/or initrds >6MB uncompressed for netbooting

Just tried to use netboot to install to a PowerBook G4 - guessing I ran
into this bug.

Transfer FILE: initrd.gz method 'load' failed 00000300
ramdisk load failed !
 ok

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/installer-powerpc/20060711ubuntu18/images/powerpc/netboot/
initrd.gz   21-Oct-2006 01:41  6.6M  

>> Could a reduced kernel/image be made specifically for netboot installs?
> No, not really. The "same vmlinux for installer and installed system" thing is a relatively deeply
embedded assumption

How about 3?  one different set that uses tftp/kexec to boot the
installer, which would be the same as the installed system?

So the installer could still rely on the full kernel/initrd.gz - but
there would be a small one that was just there to get the full one
loaded.

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a good holiday!  Now that you are rested and
cheerful, perhaps you'd consider joining us for an Ubuntu Bug Day?  As
usual, we'll be meeting for all of Wednesday in the #ubuntu-bugs IRC
channel on irc.freenode.net.

We've released Feisty Fawn's second milestone [1] and we're going to be
testing it this Wednesday.  Feel free to download some images, burn them
to CDs, and give Feisty a test drive.

As well, we'll be processing more applications for the Ubuntu QA [2]
team, That's the team you join after working with the BugSquad for a
while and want to contribute further.  Its webpage gives guidelines on
how to join.

For more information, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay
which has links to more details.

VMWare instructions

I noticed that we have instructions for setting up VMWare Server on
help.ubuntu.com.  In Feisty, this should be much easier, as we provide
precompiled modules and tools, e.g.:

vmware-server-kernel-modules-2.6.20-5 - vmware-server modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.20)
vmware-tools-kernel-modules-2.6.20-5 - vmware-tools modules for Linux (kernel 2.6.20)

The kernel team can provide details about how this is supposed to work, so that
the documentation can be updated.

Kernel team: do these modules work with VMWare Workstation as well?
