Release Meeting Items
- In Progress:
344878 -- file name too long when creating new file(ecryptfs_lookup: lookup_one_len(): returned [-36] on lower_dentry
- prototype implementation on going, second draft has been pushed out to upstream for review. The primary issue is that the on-disk representation of these files is still under discussions. It would be very dangerous to commit any changes to this behaviour without upstream agreement on this. This is not going to be resolved before feature freeze and we therefore need to decide on mitigation
539467: SATA link power management causes disk errors and corruption
- sata link control is disabled in pmutils in Natty, debugging of the issue with upstream is ongoing; slightly different settings seem to work better
542660: New Apple iMac (Core i5) fails to display anything
- v2.6.38-rc2 testing seems to indicate the issue remains,fixes for radeon graphics black screens on boot have landed recently, requested re-testing
625364: lenovo/thinkpad R500/T6x/T400[s]/T500/W500/W700/X60/X200 suspend fails
- it is likely the original reporter's issue is resolved, awaiting confirmation
630748: iwlagn degrades quickly during normal wifi session
- work around which disabled 11n mode remains in place, the officially released firmware from Intel do not as yet fix this issue, some experimental firmware is circulating and appears better but not fixed as yet, awaiting Intel. Moved out to natty-beta-1
634487: t1.micro instance hangs when installing java
- installing java in a t1.micro instance leads to a panic, investigation just beginning
636091: Touchpad stops working when wifi/3G connects
- looks to be related to modem-manager interacting directly with USB devices, it is possible this is fallout from the BKL pushdown, investigating this, awaiting feedback from reporter
702090: i965gm GPU lockup if vesafb is left loaded(EIR (xserver-xorg-video-intel)
- this seems to be an interaction with vesafb, upstream are saying "don't do that", we require this for our current boot process, catch 22
- planning on reviewing the trigger for this and see if we can hold off loading vesafb
- Non Kernel Bugs
644644: Frequent PA crashes during playback – pa_stream_cork() Connection failed (pulseaudio)
- patches to GST have been releases which look to fix things for the majority
682617: Microphone not working in Optiplex 980 (pulseaudio)
- test packages for pulseaudio have been produced and testing requested
701698: update-initramfs -c does not update the bootloader (initramfs-tools)
- seems there are interdependancy issues with this change, we may need the kernel install hooks to handle this
704372: avahi-daemon hangs 'starting up' with v2.6.38 based kernels (avahi)
- this is an actual upstream bug in avahi, but the kernel change which exposed this has been reverted currently, Fixed for Natty
Milestoned features
See Milestone natty-alpha-3 for features and tasks for the current milestone. The overall burndown chart for the entire release is also available.
Kernel BurnDown
Items pushed out from natty-alpha-2
- none-kernel-n-misc -- LP: 344878 : file name too long when creating new file (ecryptfs_lookup: lookup_one_len() returned [-36] on lower_dentry) (linux)
- a prototype is close to ready, but this is not going to be ready for natty-alpha-2, we will need to decide shortly if we are going to disable this for natty-alpha-3.
- hardware-kernel-n-ubuntu-delta-review -- compcache: compressed memory swap support -- confirm if this is needed or update to latest version
- this will need some installer work, will revisit early after the natty-alpha-2 releases.
- hardware-kernel-n-version-and-flavours -- document how to build a new derivative flavour/branch
- non release critical documentation task
Items pushed out from natty-alpha-1
SLIPPED hardware-kernel-n-version-and-flavours -- document how to build a new derivative flavour/branch
DONE hardware-kernel-n-version-and-flavours -- document officially supported flavours on a per release basis and who is responsible for those (eg ti etc)
- non release critical documentation task
DONE hardware-kernel-n-version-and-flavours -- to swap in a Linaro kernel into an existing CD image confirm feature set
DONE hardware-kernel-n-version-and-flavours -- follow up on omap3 discussion and record actual commitment from linaro
- these are dependent on both the linaro touch testing (which has only just been completed) and on having working ARM images which are not going to be completed till after the natty-alpha-1 freeze, pushing out to early natty-alpha-2
- the distro kernel is now producing ARM kernels which appear to be working for the ARM images, therefore closing these out
DONE hardware-kernel-n-version-and-flavours -- determine if we really need 3 powerpc flavours (powerpc, powerpc-smp, powerpc64-smp)
- background has been examined but no conclusions drawn at yet, not critical for the natty-alpha-1 milestone
- determined that we do require all of the current flavours, task completed
DONE hardware-kernel-n-ubuntu-delta-review -- [jk-ozlabs] Review and report back to platform if there are any specific OEM patches or drivers which we need to carry
DONE hardware-kernel-n-ubuntu-delta-review -- [amitk] Review personal ubuntu patches upstreaming and update Spec
DONE hardware-kernel-n-ubuntu-delta-review -- [jk-ozlabs] Review Arjan's ubuntu patches for upstreaming and update Spec
DONE hardware-kernel-n-ubuntu-delta-review -- [eric.y.miao] Review personal ubuntu patches for upstreaming and update Spec
DONE hardware-kernel-n-ubuntu-delta-review -- [lag] Review personal ubuntu patches for upstreaming and update Spec
DONE hardware-kernel-n-ubuntu-delta-review -- [manjo] Review personal ubuntu patches for upstreaming and update Spec
- none of the above are critical for the natty-alpha-1 milestone
DONE hardware-kernel-n-stable-process-review -- HW Cert team - provide a description of what testing they provide, and an idea of the number of hours required to run those
DONE hardware-kernel-n-stable-process-review -- to investigate which systems are "common" for cert testing
DONE hardware-kernel-n-stable-process-review -- blueprint for cert-team

performance-dx-n-gesture-tuning (1/0/3) |
By UDS, people will have had a chance to work with our gesture engine. What's going well? What should we do more of? What's broken? What needs fine-tuning? In particular, we want to focus on these two areas: * how well are gestures being recognized and parsed by the engine? * how are users finding the actual physical gestures defined for Maverick? Note that some issues will be hardware/firmware problems, kernel driver problems; how can we mitigate these? how can we get folks clued into tools such as the N-trig calibrator for Linux that Rafi wrote? One example, from Henrik: "...the two-finger pinch. At first, we wanted to use a focus point for propagation, such that a point in between was were the events would go. Then we learned that it might be better to use the common visible branch of windows, which often means coming down to the root window. But I realize that when placing one finger first, in a window, and putting a second down to zoom, it does not matter where that [second] finger is."

Natty-specifics queries: * What to do about r300c / r300g mesa DRI drivers * Will we need to do anything about r600c / r600g? |

What do we need to bridge the gap between the Pro audio's need for reliably low latency, and Ubuntu's secure and just-works standard? E g: FFADO udev rules, jack and rtkit integration, adding memlock features to rtkit, make PA a jack client when jack starts, add a jack engine whenever a FW soundcard is plugged in, etc? Perhaps we can't or shouldn't do all of these for Natty, but having some of them would be nice. |

packageselection-foundations-n-grub2-boot-framebuffer (3/2/6) |
GRUB2 supports programming a VBE mode in the boot loader and telling the kernel about it, causing the kernel to use a framebuffer at boot. With Linux 2.6.34, vesafb/efifb can hand over smoothly to a KMS driver, allowing us to assemble all of this into something very close to a flicker-free boot splash process. |
