That's what I ended up doing.

Perhaps so. I nearly always build from topic branches before doing the
local merge into the destination branch for a final test build, but
perhaps I'm the only one (/weirdo) doing that. :)

I don't think anyone does. You can work in a topic branch, and locally
merge it into feature/jessie to build it. Just the same as one is
supposed to do e.g. to test branches meant to be merged into stable.

Maybe that needs to be documented on [[contribute/build]]?

[Tails-dev] Jessie images outside of feature/jessie

2014-11-24 Thread Kill Your TV

I'm trying to build a Jessie image (to try my hand at
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8262) as I normally do for the
standard Wheezy images. For example, I branched off of feature/jessie:

git checkout -b kytv/tests

I commited my changes which only touch files under features/. I then
built an image. The image building completed successfully. Booting this
ISO (built from kytv/tests) in KVM leads to the "Oh no! Something had
gone wrong" message.  I've tried with both the VMVGA and QXL drivers.
Unlike https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7890, however, I do not see
that screen if I set session-name=gdm-shell. Indeed, after setting the
session-name to gdm-shell I can login with the 'live' user.

I discovered that working images can be built from the
branch feature/jessie, but how do others build jessie images from
/outside/ of the main feature/jessie branch?

I set up a root password and logged in a text console as above but
instead of launching @gdbus@ I edited @locale.conf@.

I don't think this is actually used for setting up the regular
(non-GDM) GNOME session, as explained on the ticket.

However, same question regarding "There is also
a org.freedesktop.Accounts.User.SetLocale dbus method which doesn't
seem to work either", which seems to be a more plausible solution.

Otherwise, anyone else who has a look will likely start with

You can try to do full Debian install on a USB stick. It's damn slow but
it should work for testing.

Nope: the idea is to test GNOME Shell, and our Jessie images still use
GNOME Flashback. So you'll need to get a Debian Jessie or sid system
to boot on this machine, and try running GNOME Shell. Looks doable?

Yay. So, only testing on slightly older hardware that we *might* want
to go on supporting when migrating to Jessie (e.g. ThinkPad X32,
ThinkPad X60) is missing. Once we have test results on such a machine,
I'll formally propose that we ship GNOME Shell with the Classic set

I don't think so. Quoting what I wrote on the ticket: The (very
generic) error message is the same, but the root cause isn't: #7323
occurs rarely when loading the regular GNOME session (on Wheezy),
while this one occurs everytime when loading the Greeter's GNOME
session (on Jessie). The fix will likely be entirely different.

After two full days of parsing debug logs of all possible GNOME
components and looking at all the wrong things, I've now solved
#7633/#7673 with a one byte patch in Tails Greeter (commit 1189bd4)...

>   * #7563 - Update the automated test suite for Jessie [anonym]

Lots of fonts look different in feature/jessie builds, which makes this
into a lot more work (especially since it will be obsoleted again once
we move from GNOME flashback to GNOME Classic), so I created #7882 as a
blocker. Furthermore, even though we get into a GNOME session now, lots
of basic things are broken, and I suspect a major cause is #7881.

Any quick clues on these two bugs would be appreciated!

It turned out that what worked before the migration of GTK 3.12
doesn't work anymore. So it's more work that I thought, but I'll try
to get something working by the 14th. Help is welcome though.

It was also broken by the migration of 3.12. I'll fix it (or report why
I can't...) the 14th.

I can try to do that depending on how much time the greeter things take.

[Tails-dev] Jessie!

2014-08-31 Thread intrigeri
Hi,

at the summit, we have decided a timeline for getting our stuff ready
to be tested on Jessie. We're far from being there yet, and given the
Jessie freeze is on November 5th, in practice packages MUST have
reached testing by October ~25th. That gives us less than two months
to discover bugs and have them fixed and uploaded. I don't feel like
it's a lot of time.

The parent ticket that tracks what we need to do ASAP is:

  https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7423

Below, I'll list the tasks I'm the most concerned about, because they
are blocking other things we should do way before the freeze, and then
should *really* be completed *soon*. Most of these tasks are on Alan's
and anonym's plate (Cc'd), but I guess they wouldn't mind some help:

  * #7568 - Write instructions to access the localized desktop without
a working Greeter [alan] => ETA?

  * #7561 - Update the Greeter for Jessie [alan] => ETA?
(note that fixing #7568 is enough to unblock some of the other
tasks that are not listed here, but *not* enough for some others,
e.g. the test suite update)

  * #7560 - Have Tails based on Jessie starting [anonym] => ETA?
(blocked by #7561 [alan]; otherwise, the only remaining sub-task
seems to be #7633 "Session fails to load in Jessie"... until we
discover other blockers)

  * #7563 - Update the automated test suite for Jessie [anonym]
=> blocked by #7560, and in turn by #7561

  * #7564 - Test Jessie's GNOME Shell with llvmpipe on old-ish hardware
(e.g. ThinkPad X32, ThinkPad X60) => I can't do that before early
October, so it would be great if someone else did.

  * #7566 - Try GNOME Shell in a Jessie or sid VirtualBox VM [anonym]
=> ETA?

And here's a status update for things that are on my plate:

  * #7429 - Have seahorse-nautilus 3.10.1+ in Debian Jessie => needs
a public statement of the maintainer, and then one of our favorite
sponsors will review and upload the NMU

  * #7562 - Have AppArmor 2.8.95+ in Jessie: not needed, strictly
speaking; we might have 2.8.4 instead, which will be good enough;
I'm on it, and if Kees doesn't upload soon enough, I'll do it
myself (I've formally become a co-maintainer).

Cheers,
