darkxstLaney, any chance you could do a saucy build of trusty webkitgtk on your special ppa? ppa builders still dislike webkit ;(05:32

Laneymorning09:06
darkxsthey Laney09:07
Laneydarkxst: hmm09:08
darkxstLaney, please!09:08
Laneythey all build for too many architectures09:09
Laneyalso I'd rather not have to do it for every release09:09
Laneydid you try disabling debug symbols etc?09:09
darkxstLaney, its only to fix Bug 116388609:10
ubot2Launchpad bug 1163886 in webkit (Ubuntu) "software-center crashed with signal 5 with WebKit 2.0+" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/116388609:10
Laneyoh man we should SRU that09:10
darkxstit has been SRU'ed09:10
darkxstbut we have a new webkit on the PPA's09:11
Laneyare you already ahead of saucy then?09:11
Laney._.09:11
darkxstyes09:11
pittihey Laney, good morning09:13
Laneyhey pitti09:13
Laneyhow are you?09:13
pittiLaney: quite fine thanks! last week before holidays, and still so much stuff to do .. :)09:14
pittiLaney: can merge your new dbusmock template today when you can clean it up (or tell me to do it myself if you  don't have time)09:14
LaneyI'll do it, sure, just catching up on weekend stuff atm09:14
Laneyall the things will still be there after holidays ;-)09:15
pittiyes, and I don't want them to :)09:15
darkxstLaney, so just this once, can you do it?09:36
darkxstI tried disabling debug symbols in the past, but we have dbgsym's enabled on the ppa's09:37
Laneyit makes me edgy, the PPA you're talking about is for doing armhf test builds09:42
Laneylet me think about it09:42
xnoxubiquity looks very weird with new gtk09:49
xnoxit's like 1.5 wider than it used to be09:50
darkxstLaney, ok, let me know09:51
Laneyxnox: I guess file a bug, attach a screenshot and let larsu know its #09:55
xnoxLaney: i don't exclude that ubiquity is setting style / properties / etc wrong. Ubiquity code did grow since forever, and we do try hard to center re-position the main window.09:56
* xnox boots it in !chinese locale first09:57
xnoxbtw Ubuntu Kylin default wallpaper is pure beauty.09:57
darkxstxnox, I also have had reports that the partition resize slider is broken10:06
xnoxdarkxst: i want a screenshot of that. because we did change in saucy the day before release, so it actually might be what it suppose to be.10:07
* xnox spins up a large vm to test that.10:07
darkxstxnox, these are recent, since 3.10 landed, no slider shows up at all apparently10:08
darkxstxnox, Bug 126047310:10
ubot2Launchpad bug 1260473 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "The slide bar that allow to rezise the partition does not appear" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/126047310:10
xnoxdarkxst: .... and no screenshot10:10
* xnox is not Neo to read visual data based on green scrolling text ;-)10:11
darkxstno I don;t have a screenshot10:11
darkxstnumerous people are still complaining though....10:12
darkxstalthough I guess thats about normal for the "maybe" install along-side option10:12
xnoxnah, it really is broken worse than it normally used to be.10:14
darkxstxnox, ok, its hard to know sometimes, we get a lot of noise on g+ and mailing lists, from people that refuse to actually file bugs10:22
xnoxdarkxst: who is "we"?10:24
darkxstUbuntu GNOME10:25
xnoxdarkxst: well, i believe it's a gtk+3.10 regression, and as GNOME flavour you are best suited to take it up upstream =)10:25
xnox;-)10:28
Laneyyou buck passer10:28
xnoxgiggley giggley gi =)10:29
xnoxi've been fixing theming bugs in gtk/ubiquity since I started hacking on ubiquity10:29
xnoxi honestly fell like switching to qml/qt, but maybe that simply has it's own set of UI/themeing bugs.10:30
Laneywe should make sure to test ubiquity with new gtks really10:30
xnoxi don't think gtk based flavours will be happy, but then again, they'll just pick up the frontend maintainance, like kubuntu did for the qt frontend since forever.10:31
xnoxLaney: ubiquity - the gtk stress test, caught like 3 grave bugs in glade/gtkbuilder alone....10:31
darkxstxnox, seems like a larsu thing really, I don't really have much to do with the gtk update (other than wanting it)... themeing is well beyond me10:32
xnoxdarkxst: well, if one wants gtk update one gets bugs & regressions that come with it. So please help fix them, instead of complaining about the complaints you get =)10:34
xnoxanyway10:34
xnoxwith the width bug, it feels like some rough widgets blows out of proportion.10:34
xnoxwhich is probably the full-ubiquity-window-width progressbar.10:34
darkxstxnox, not complaining, just forwarding!10:35
xnoxdarkxst: that doesn't help either. triaging bugs, usually involves filtering. e.g. marking the "missing diver bug" as confirmed and attaching screenshot.10:36
Laneyxnox: is it upstart-ish to have 'start <somejob>' in a pre-start script?10:38
xnoxLaney: yes.10:39
Laneyinteresting10:39
xnoxLaney: it's a non-blocking way to do inverse of "start on starting me" in the "somejob"10:39
darkxstxnox, I don't track ubiquity bugs, unless I happen to see them reported via iso tracker10:39
xnoxLaney: such that "somejob" doesn't need to know about all the reverse-alternatives it should be starting on.10:39
LaneyHmm, I think you'd want it to be blocking usually10:40
Laneylike, you put it in pre-start because you need the job to run your main program10:41
darkxstbut I do see noise form the 'report-a-bug-phobes'10:42
darkxstwho when you tell them to run 'ubuntu-bug' say Its too hard10:43
Laneyhttps://code.launchpad.net/~unity-team/ubuntu-system-settings/welcome-wizard/+merge/18686210:44
Laneythe upstart stuff in there seems smelly to me10:44
Laneywizard/main.cpp and the user session job10:44
Laneyxnox: please look10:44
xnoxLaney: you really don't want it blocking, otherwise one can easily end up in a dead-lock.10:50
xnoxLaney: if blocking is needed, one should use "start on starting" for one thing to block starting the other.10:50
Laneyhow should one job make sure another one is running without the cooperation of that one?10:51
xnoxwait-for-state10:52
LaneyNEVER HEARD OF IT!10:52
* Laney rtfms10:52
xnoxtypically one does "start foo" and then checks that "foo" is start/running, after a timeout10:52
xnoxone can write it manually, or use the magic job wait-for-state10:53
xnoxlet me show you a good example.10:53
xnoxSo in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/96722910:53
ubot2Launchpad bug 967229 in plymouth (Ubuntu) "Text mode shown briefly with various "cryptic" texts when logging out or shutting down" [High,Triaged]10:53
xnoxi proposed this: f10:53
xnoxhttps://launchpadlibrarian.net/158609890/message-less-shutdown.patch10:53
Laneythat should be in the cookbook10:53
xnoxit's a bit akward, because I first check that the job exists, since it might not.10:53
xnoxotherwise ti's straight forward.10:54
xnoxe.g. plymouth-shutdown, waits for lightdm to stop10:54
xnoxand rc [016] waits for plymouth-shutdown to start10:54
xnoxsuch that one gets "cryptic message less" shutdown.10:54
xnox"flickerless" is a better term, I guess.10:55
Laneyta, that's interesting10:55
xnoxalso note https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/96204710:55
ubot2Launchpad bug 962047 in upstart (Ubuntu) "document wait-for-state" [Medium,Confirmed]10:55
Laneymight want to change that assignment :-)10:56
xnoxLaney: i think the right solution is for upstart to implement states10:56
xnoxe.g. "when runlevel=2 and networking IFACE!=lo" thus start me when those conditions are satisfied and stop me when they are not10:56
xnoxsuch that e.g. restart networking works and doesn't bring down the machine to ~= runlevel 1.510:57
Laneywell, in this case you want to be able to cause some state transitions to happen too10:59
xnoxwhen does osk keyboard start?11:00
Laneyapparently mterry knows this is a pile of hacks apparently11:00
Laneyfrom the comments11:00
* Laney is spooked by this11:00
Laney"let the technical debt in and fix it later" is a model which scares me11:00
=== vrruiz_ is now known as rvr
Laney'started unity8'11:01
xnoxLaney: I don't see how wizard will work without unity8, so ubuntu-system-settings-wizard should be: start on started unity and started maliit-server11:04
xnoxoh, but it's starts it's own session?!11:04
xnoxi thought ubuntu-touch-session is gone already.11:05
Laneyno idea11:05
xnoxhow is this meant to work? or e.g. how does the existing tour-guide work?11:05
Laneynah that still exists11:05
Laneythe normal greeter starts it11:05
LaneyI think this is about initial configuration11:05
xnoxcause the inital system setup is suppose to be part of the tour-guide (either before or after it, can't remember from design docs)11:06
Laneyseems like it should be a system job11:06
xnoxit's per user, as per design.11:06
xnoxnot system-wide.11:06
Laneyor maybe even just started by unity8 if necessary11:08
