techman83jea: no perl! blasphemy!01:04
* techman83 got hired as a python developer01:04
techman83jea: I'll be about at the conference if you want to pick my brain, I've actually wanted to re-develop eventstreamr in Python.01:07
jeatechman83: haha. perl is not a problem, just that I don't know enough of it to do useful things with it01:08
techman83jea: though for data gathering + metrics, it might worth using something like prometheus and just write some custom exporters. No need to write a whole stack then.01:08
jeaI have a mostly rewritten version of eventstreamr in python, but it hasn't been used properly yet. most of the bits that I didn't convert can go away now too due to not using dvswitch01:09
techman83jea: That's the main problem, not enough perl devs.01:09
techman83jea: nice01:10
jeaand yes, prometheus is the plan for the monitoring. i got it setup the other day, now i just need to generate the data!01:10
* techman83 dances01:10
jeabut first i need to work out why these numbers are complely off. seems like it is not really using a long...01:11
xfxftechman83: turned to the dark side? ;)01:18
xfxfcongrats on new job btw01:18
techman83xfxf: haha, yeah. A job offer popped up. Requirement was that I learn Python.01:19
techman83Thanks. It's much more interesting and far less soul destroying than my previous job!01:19

mithroxfxf: What do the numbers in the cell means?02:22
xfxfexplained up the top02:22
mithroxfxf: I would have never seen that myself :-P02:23
xfxfit was the easiest way to help identify patterns02:23
xfxfa 2 so far always means it works but only after a power cycle02:24
xfxfdo i have to check every single cable.  this shit is tedious02:24
xfxfsurely redmere + white/std is enough?02:24
xfxfmithro: i think you just moved values in the column i'm currently testing in...02:27
mithroxfxf: Oh sorry - I rearranged it to be input first, then cable type02:27
xfxfalso the order you've stuck things in is not how i'm testing them02:27
xfxfi'm doing different cables on both inputs, not power cycling + test, then power cycle + test each time02:28
xfxfer rather, above is confusing02:28
xfxfi'm doing: take a cable, plug it in to input0, see what happens, power cycle device if it didn't work, see what happens, then repeat on input 1.  then onto a new cable02:29
mithroxfxf: I need to be able to rearrange the table so I can understand the data - is there a way to do that?02:29
xfxfnot sure, i just want this to flow in how i'm doing things so i don't make data entry errors02:30
xfxfpretty sure input0 is boned on this board anyway02:30
mithroxfxf: I added a test-order column which lets me quickly switch back and forth between the two sorting orders02:31
xfxflooking at this i'm pretty sure i can reduce the testing to 1 redmere cable, 1 white cable, on all devices, on both input0/input1, with the power cycle/non power cycle test02:31
xfxfnp02:31
xfxfpls confirm above02:31
xfxfi assume i'll be able to do a subset of devices too which are acting different (i.e. mDP dongle vs HDMI port on my mac, versus the xa20)02:32
mithroxfxf: Looking at it at the moment02:32
xfxffeel free to re-sort, i'll go outside for a sec02:32
mithroI was sure there was a way to make the sort order specific to the user with the "views" stuff02:34
mithrobut I don't have the mental capacity to figure that out again02:34
mithroxfxf: Looking at the spreadsheet, there is one weirdness02:35
xfxfwhich is?02:36
xfxfoutside of the xa20's always working02:36
mithroxfxf: the "Lenovo W530 - mDP" was different on the Blue/White Redmere cable?02:36
xfxfit was? let me look02:37
mithroxfxf: I'm wondering if that is just an entry error or something02:37
xfxfoh02:38
xfxfright02:38
mithroxfxf: You written "same behaviour as blue 3ft redmere below"02:38
xfxfso i suspect it's the same problem02:38
xfxfexcept the cable might have worked once02:38
xfxfboth are problematic02:38
xfxfoh wait no02:39
xfxfboth are meant to be 302:39
xfxffixed02:39
mithroxfxf: Can you see if you can reproduce that at all? I don't think we have ever seen a difference between redmere cables?02:39
*** paradisaeidae_ has joined #timvideos02:39
xfxfsure02:39
xfxfthis is again, the most tedious shit ever :P02:39
mithroxfxf: Yeah sorry, we really need some minions :(02:40
xfxfis there anybody else we could grab?02:41
xfxfi really should be working on this monitoring stuff.. it is thu arvo02:41
xfxfsomebody def should test all boards though02:41
mithroxfxf: Can we extract the following extra data for each cell on this board02:42
mithroxfxf: If you are seeing the "dvisampler0: IDELAY busy timeout"02:43
mithroxfxf: If we are seeing the "pixelclk" value02:43
xfxfno02:43
xfxfwtf02:43
mithroxfxf: If we are seeing the WER02:43
xfxfthe redmere cable works on input0 sometimes?02:43
xfxfit seems random02:43
mithroI think they are all in your notes already02:43
xfxfi'm seeing errors02:43
xfxfno idea busy timeout02:43
xfxfwait, nm, i am02:43
mithroxfxf: You okay with me added extra columns under each device and putting that there?02:44
xfxfum, i guess, how much more confusing is this going to be?02:44
xfxfokay, so occasionally when i unplug it / plug it back in, it works02:45
xfxfboth redmere cables02:45
xfxfi don't even know how to record this data anymore, this is too confusing to display two dimensionally02:45
xfxfmithro i'm struggling dealing with representing sane test data on what appears to be a faulty board that doesn't always do the same thing02:49
xfxfi've marked it as '3' and added notes02:49
mithroxfxf: Looking at the data so far, It looks like there is an issue with the IDELAY stuff on this board in Input 0 of this board02:50
xfxfokay, well, this data is for you, so you tell me if what i'm providing is enough02:50
xfxfi'm going to try and rope somebody else in to test all ~17 or whatever boards but we need repeatable test instructions first02:51
xfxfi don't think me spending the rest of today doing this is a good idea considering everything else i need to be on top of02:51
xfxfmy next steps should be trying a new board, continuing along the existing board with new devices, something else?02:52
mithroxfxf: So if IDELAY timeout occurs, then a high WER rate and the input not working is expected02:54
xfxfok, answer to Q above?02:55
mithroHold on, writing some stuff02:56
xfxfi really want to continue the monitoring s/w (given the extra complexity there now) so want to progress on this rapidly02:56
xfxfokay, rad, ta02:56

mithroFor when micolous turns up, first thing with streaming would be to import the schedule database into the streaming-system website10:32
mithro_florent_: The one that is currently working on the TV has that warning10:32
xfxfmithro: you're way more on top of what's required for streaming than I am, can you instruct micolous on what you'd like him to do over the next couple of days when he arrives?10:35
xfxffrom my POV i want to make sure anything he used to do the YT streaming last year is committed up to a repo, and there's a handoff to jea before the conf starts10:35
mithroHe probably knows better then I do what the current state of it is10:36
xfxfi'd imagine there'll be some integration with the ansible stuff tumbleweed/CarlFK are working on, so it's integrated correctly into the systemd foo they're doing + the right bits are on the machine10:36
mithroNFI on that part10:37
xfxfme either, poke tumbleweed, chat with micolous tomorrow (he arrives anytime soon) about what of his YT/gstreamer streaming stuff needs to end up on the machines10:39
xfxfdebconf use icecast normally, correct?10:39
tumbleweedyep10:41
mithroxfxf: I seem to recall that nothing was run on the systems locally - everything was run on a system in the NOC and it just connected to voctomix's streaming port remotely10:41

mithro_florent_: I don't think the actual changing of the TOFE module is causing the failure/passing.... it just seems to be random10:57
