autopkgtest
- Committed a workaround for the issues with systemd-udevd by increasing the period which we’ll wait for the testbed to respond to ssh.
- Running of cleanup-instances on the autopkgtest-cloud-worker units as the systemd-udevd kernel oops issue is leaving stray instances around.
- Investigated what is causing the amd64 instances to boot slowly and causing the autopkgtest backlog. It seems to be an issue with the kernel as downgrading systemd did not resolve the issue. I reported bug 1989258 regarding the slow tasks timeout.
- Modified the instance creation script so that the virtio_rng module is blacklisted allowing the instances to boot much more qucikly.
- Tested an updated kernel for the kernel team which seems to resolve the issue.
- Sent a PSA to ubuntu-devel regarding the issues with the autopkgtest environment.
Ubuntu
- Added a force-badtest hint for nrepl-clojure as it dropped some arches that previously had autopkgtest results which had passed.
- Declined a Launchpad invitation for ~ubuntu-core-dev to join ~ubuntucinnamon-dev and ~ubuntu-unity-devs (it should be ~motu per @vorlon). Accepted an invitation for ~motu to join ~farsi-fonts team.
- Performed the SRU verification for an ubuntu-release-upgrader fix for bug 1987452 which is about a failure to upgrade from 20.04 or 20.10 if the latest version of apt is not installed.
- Foundations team bug triage rotation x 2, once with @jawn-smith.
- Let the Ubuntu Studio lead know about the possibility of adding a dist-upgrade quirk to ubuntu-release-upgrader to prevent upgrades from 20.04 to 22.04.
- Submitted a pull request for ubuntu-server-triage changing who is considered a member of a team for TIL purposes.
- Built a ubuntu-unity daily image per the request of the Ubuntu Unity lead.
- Tested auto-upgrade-testing for @Paride and discovered a missing dependency so updated upstream with that missing dep.
Misc
- Conducted an interview.
