Trevinhorobert_ancell: about unity not being reloaded... It's weird that pstree shows it as a child of gnome-session instead of init, I thought it was reloaded by upstart actually... but it doesn't seem the case..00:02
Trevinhorobert_ancell: looking better I found why00:02
Trevinhorobert_ancell: /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/ubuntu.session contains the word compiz00:02
Trevinhorobert_ancell: but... /usr/share/upstart/sessions/unity7.conf has a "raw grep" for compiz on that file00:03
Trevinhothus we're still running unity7 via gs!00:03
Trevinhowhen moving to upstart (i.e. removing that compiz check), then all goes as it should using upstart, and thus killing unity reloads it forever00:04
Trevinhoolli: ^00:04
olliTrevinho, what does that mean00:05
Trevinhoolli: that we are currently (for a mistake I think) running unity7 via gnome-session, and this leads not to get the respawns on compiz crashes00:06
olliTrevinho, ok00:07
Trevinhofor some reason it has been working for long time, then a change on the ubuntu.session file in gnome-session caused this to change00:07
olliTrevinho, might be good to update the bug with that finding00:08
TrevinhoI think we should SRU the thing at this point :/00:08
olliand then I think you can call it a day00:08
olliyeah, this is SRY material00:08
Trevinhorobert_ancell: what's the compiz mention in RequiredComponents actually does? Launch it if it's not there? or what? As the unity upstart file was checking if compiz was mentioned there (as exec file I think)00:09
robert_ancellTrevinho, I'm not 100% sure but it used to launch them00:10
robert_ancellTrevinho, our required component list should probably be blank since we use upstart but there's some side effects probably00:10
Trevinhorobert_ancell: yeah... so what we should fix is unity at this point, making it to run with upstart in any case... then if this fails for some reason will g-s do that00:11
Trevinhorobert_ancell: if g-s doesn't arrive first of it...00:11
robert_ancellTrevinho, yeah, they're both trying to keep the process alive00:12
Trevinhorobert_ancell: yes, but g-s seems not to be reliable as upstart is00:12
robert_ancellg-s must die :)00:12
Trevinhorobert_ancell: and I will help to do that :)00:13
Trevinhorobert_ancell: as for its removal btw, (related to the ML), unity needs to also update its session managements... As we rely on it for events right now (mostly for the power-button press thing)00:13
robert_ancellTrevinho, yes, we will probably find lots of things relying on these sorts of interfaces when we remove them (found a bunch of them in unity-greeter)00:14

robruTrevinho, what? are you saying I have to build that in a new silo in time for release as well? infinity ^^ ??01:10
Trevinhorobru: I was wondering of SRUing it at this point01:10
Trevinhorobru: unfortunately I noticed it just an ~ hour ago01:11
robruTrevinho, I'm not building it without an ack from management because this is just too close to the deadline for me. i'm literally having anxiety attacks about this.01:12
Trevinhorobru: well, you don't need to build the fix... you can just test it by your own01:12
Trevinhorobru: it's just about modifing a conf file01:12
Trevinhoor two if you prefer01:12
robruTrevinho, but still, the package would need to be rebuilt in order to get this in the release right now01:13
ollirobru, that's an SRY01:13
Trevinhorobru: yep... that's why I said of SRUing it, but it's up to release team... as it still might be important01:13

ubot2Gnome bug 662672 in Chat "wrong count of unread messages and text missing" [Normal,New]09:41
mvompt: hi, there is a certain chance that the apt-get update progressbar jumps around might get solved by fixing apt09:46
mvompt: (I thought you might want to hear about this as iirc its one of the things that look unpolished)09:46
mptmvo, as I understand it, any repository referred to in sources.list can itself refer to any number of other repositories, correct?10:08
mvompt: I don't think this is the case (unless I misunderstand something). there will be a bunch of files that get download and before the Release file is parsed what files is a bit uncertain, but once the Release file is fetched apt has a pretty good idea what needs to be fetched, it was just not making good use of that information :/10:20
mptmvo, oh, excellent! So we need to use an indeterminate progress bar only while reading the Release file. Then we can allocate ~5% of the determinate bar to reading the sources, ~45% to downloading packages, and  and ~50% to installing packages.10:23
mvompt: yeah, that is the plan, adding a state "gathering data" or something for the very early fetching and once the release file is there, the data should be pretty accurate (modulo corner cases like right now we don't have the size of the translations file in our release file, but that is a bug that will get fixed)10:25

ogra_seb128, lol10:45
ogra_well, tomorrow is a holiday here ... so its "kind of friday" :)10:45
seb128ogra_, what people are saying is that they don't want to have a non-good-enough-to-get-work-done solution pushed on them over what they have it's working10:46
seb128ogra_, like "don't force a metro UI on my windows, I need to get work done"10:46
seb128ogra_, nobody said we don't want system-images, but we don't want them today if it means you can't install e.g the gimp anymore because it has no click and there are no solution to install debs10:47
seb128ogra_, the day we can switch without undermining our desktop experience we should/are going to do it10:48
ogra_seb128, well, IMHo we need to start from the bottom ... not at the UI level10:48
seb128right10:48
seb128but we need to swap the pieces only when they are ready10:48
seb128not say "ok, no libreoffice or gimp for you anymore for the next 1.5 years until we reach feature parity"10:48
ogra_which is why i point out that we should first get the plumbing layer ready while unity8 desktop development should be done in parallel ... but only land when its done10:49
seb128right10:49

larsuqengho: okay probably the client is buggy then. Can you call ListSources() on it's com.canonical.indicator.messages.application bus interface and paste the result?13:49
Sweetsharktedg: well, its been 138 years since the tallest building of the world stood in my hometown, so I guess we are out of the race already for a long time ..13:49
tedgSweetshark, Clearly the solution is that the building needs a cowboy hat on top!13:50
Sweetsharktedg: That might raise some conflict. The building is a church, and while the spire is still standing the rest of it was bombed away by cowboys in operation gomorrah.13:54
Sweetsharktedg: But in general, that would indeed be the obvious solution.13:55
tedgSweetshark, So you're saying what should happen here is that Texas should give an epic cowboy hat as a sign of peace and understanding, so that they'd feel compelled to put it on.13:56
Sweetsharktedg: that would work. ;)13:57

chrisccoulsonbregma, how do I run a terminal in the unity8 preview?14:00
ogra_chrisccoulson, using the terminal app ?14:02
ogra_(or isnt that available)14:03
chrisccoulsonogra_, where's that installed from?14:03
chrisccoulsonnothing shows up in the session and I didn't find anything in the archive14:03
ogra_usually from the appstore ...14:03
ogra_search for terminal in the apps scope14:03
tedgI don't think click is on the desktop image14:03
tedgchrisccoulson, Just a sec, let me find the apps PPA14:03
tedgchrisccoulson, ppa:ubuntu-touch-coreapps-drivers/daily14:04
chrisccoulsontedg, thanks14:04
tedgchrisccoulson, There's a metapackage touch-coreapps14:05
bregmachrisccoulson, try clicking on the "Terminal" app, the latest update should launch OK14:05
chrisccoulsonbregma, yeah, i need to install it first :)14:06
bregmachrisccoulson, also, you need to do what tedg suggests14:06
chrisccoulsonbregma, i can't scroll the list of apps btw14:06
* tedg finds that installing apps is just a gateway drug to using them14:06
bregmachrisccoulson, it sounds like you need to invest in a nice touchscreen14:06
bregmaall the cool kids are doing it14:07
pmcgowanbregma, does it not work with mouse events?14:07
chrisccoulsonbregma, or canonical needs to invest in one for me ;)14:07
chrisccoulsonpmcgowan, no, it's pretty broken here with a mouse14:07
chrisccoulsonand my cursor doesn't stay still when i tap the touchpad either14:07
pmcgowanthats seems like a problem14:08
chrisccoulsonit's virtually unusable here :/14:08
bregmaI use a mouse here because I can't stand trackpads, and I have no problems using a mouse14:08
pmcgowanok good14:08
pmcgowanwill load it up in a bit and see14:08
bregmathe touchscreen on this test system is too flaky to rely on it, too14:08
chrisccoulsonoh, the terminal only opens in the sidestage, giving my about 29 characters of width :/14:09
chrisccoulsoni'm going to cry in a minute14:09
chrisccoulsoncan i make that wider?14:10
pmcgowandont think so14:10
chrisccoulsoni can't use a 29 character width terminal that I can't scroll :(14:10
chrisccoulsonand tmux doesn't work in it either, so i can't even run that and drop to a tty to debug oxide :/14:11

bregmachrisccoulson, edit /usr/share/applications/com.ubuntu.terminal_terminal.desktop and remove the line X-Ubuntu-StageHint=SideStage14:28
bregmaafter that, things work swimmingly14:28
bregmaI don't know why someone thinks terminal in a side stage is a good idea, perhaps they need to be thrashed14:29
chrisccoulsonah, thanks. will give that a try14:30
bregmathey must be beaten about the head and shoulders with a blunt object until they confess to their conspiracy of progressive obstructionism14:30
* bregma is done rambling for the nonce14:30
chrisccoulsonaha, now I can't type anything in to it. i seem to get a random character every few keypresses14:32
tedgbregma, I think you should submit a patch ;-)14:32
chrisccoulsonis there any way to switch between apps?14:33
chrisccoulsonwithout a touch device?14:33
ollichrisccoulson, you pull the screen to the right with the mouse14:34
ollisimilar to the swipe on the phone/tablet14:34
ollithat'll get you to the app scope14:34
olliand you can switch to another app from there14:35
chrisccoulsonolli, it doesn't do anything here14:35
bregmachrisccoulson, are yuo using a mouse or a trackpad?  Edge swipes are impossible with a track pad.14:36
bregmawell, difficult14:37
chrisccoulsonbregma, yeah, i've tried a mouse too14:37
bregmaI have separate buttons on mine, so I can get edge swipes to work using two hands, but my other machine has a clickpad and it's nigh-on impossible14:37
chrisccoulsonin fact, i wonder if this has just frozen14:38
chrisccoulsoni don't even get the odd random character on the terminal like i did before14:38
bregmathat sounds ominous14:38
bregmacan you pull down indicators?14:38
chrisccoulsonno14:39
bregmahashtag sadface14:39
chrisccoulsoni just killed the terminal app, and the screen hasn't updated14:39
chrisccoulsonso it seems pretty dead14:39
bregmathat sounds like the shell is hung14:39
bregmaif you can;t switch to a VT, you'll want to reboot14:39
chrisccoulsoni can switch to a VT. i killed the user init, which seems to have done the trick14:40
chrisccoulsonalthough, it's left most processes running14:40
chrisccoulsoni think i'm going to need to reboot :/14:40

bregmahey tedg I'm trying to run Qt Creator in my Unity 8 Desktop Preview session but it apparent fails because its subprocesses are not allowed to connect or something, what's the best approach to analysing that problem14:55
bregma?14:55
pmcgowanbregma, how can that work?14:55
tedgbregma, Uhm, I'm not sure analysis is needed. Fixing is :-)14:56
pmcgowanwow14:56
tedgbregma, We need to get cgroups working for apps and all that contained. And then for QtCreator they really need to use Mir trusted sessions, but those don't really exist yet.14:56
tedgIt's a manpower issue really.14:57
bregmawell, it starts OK but you can't do much yet14:57
tedgbregma, So the solution is convince management we need to work on all the pieces there :-)14:58
tedgI can map it out, but it's a non-trivial amount of work.14:58
bregmatedg, can you map it out and send me the map, so we can at least see the lay of the land over the next cycles?14:59
* bregma wonders how well emacs will run under unity 8....14:59
tedgbregma, Uhm, sure. I think the big question early on is whether we're going to do the work to get cgroups working under Upstart or wait until we move to systemd for that.15:00
tedgI figured we'd have that discussion in Malta.15:00
tedgThe trusted session stuff is ongoing, it's needed for lots of things. Online accounts and Pay just to mention two.15:01
bregmatedg, yes, discuss it there but we need to plan an agenda before we arrive15:01
tedgGetting QtCreator to use it is a larger question, and something I have less visibility into.15:01
tedgbregma, Well, I think it depends a lot one which of the "systemd now" vs. "systemd later" camps wins.15:02
bregmawell, I have a fullscreen green screen terminal, vim, and the autotools so I'm good to use Unity 8 full time as my development environment but the weaker among you will have to wait for an IDE or whatever it is kids use these days15:02
tedgIf we're doing systemd in the short term, clearly that's the right choice. But I'm not clear on what the timeline is there yet.15:02
bregmatedg, I just want to know how many ducks I have before trying to put them all in a row15:03

Laneygatox: can you look?16:38
Laneykenvandine: I don't really know the code there16:38
kenvandineunderstand16:39
kenvandinei'm just suspecting the previous bug was keeping us from hitting this crasher16:39
kenvandineso fixing that might have uncovered that16:39
Laneylikely, click updates were quite nonfunctional before16:39
kenvandineindeed16:39
Laneykenvandine: maybe retrace it and assign it to gatox16:41
Laneyif you are able16:42
gatoxLaney, does this happen on the desktop too?16:42
kenvandinesure16:42
gatoxLaney, my problem is that in the desktop i can only test it using a mock server.. i don't have a device16:43
LaneyI don't know how to meaningfully run the updates panel on the desktop16:43
kenvandinei started to look at it, but not familiar with that code at all16:43
kenvandinegatox, i hit it when i think the popover should have been fired16:43
kenvandinegatox, i think it might happen when there are both click updates and system updates16:44
kenvandineand it auto downloads the system update16:44
TrevinhoLaney: we've some important fixes to land which are ready since some days... I would have loved to do an SRU on day-0 (today), but it seems not doable, so for when can we prepare the first one?16:44
Trevinhoseb128: also ^16:44
gatoxkenvandine, i'll take a look at the code, but the auto download and some other things can not be properly reproduce on desktop16:45
LaneyTrevinho: you can upload it whenever and it'll get reviewed whenever ;-)16:45
kenvandinegatox, yeah... not easy to confirm a fix16:45
LaneyProbably Tuesday at the earliest now16:45
Laneymake sure you have a proper SRU bug attached to it16:45
Laneygatox: you should get hold of a device if you can16:45
Laneyspeak to thostr16:45
TrevinhoLaney: yes, what's the plan I mean? We prepare SRU builds on CI-train as always?16:45
LaneyI don't know how that works16:46

* Laney runs16:49
didrocksLaney: not fast enough, caught you! :)16:49
didrocksTrevinho: joke apart, just do as usual, but ensure you have bug fixes only and attach a SRU bug to it16:49
didrocksTrevinho: I would advise to not diverge your branches until you introduce the first feature which will go to U16:49
didrocks(we will ensure things going to trusty-updates will be copied of u)16:50
didrocksand the train is looking at trusty-updates as the final destination16:50
didrocksmaking sense?16:50
Trevinhodidrocks: yes, we actually prefer not to use a different branch from trunk for the next weeks since we mostly have bug-fix only things16:54
Trevinhodidrocks: also if they won't be all 1-line fixes, I tell you :P16:54
Trevinhodidrocks: but the LTS deserves them16:55
didrocksTrevinho: only fixes ;)16:56
Trevinhodidrocks: fixes they are... :)16:57
seb128Trevinho, you can land a SRU whenever you get it ready16:57
seb128not sure when it's going to be reviewed/approved in the queue then16:57
Trevinhoseb128: ok, but now that we've the CI-train, do we need to prepare the packages on the PPA, then request the SRU with them and when approved we can upload it?16:59
Trevinhoseb128: or what? As before we had a different way to deploy stuff and distro was taking care of the upload as well16:59
LaneyThe train can upload the SRU, that's what didrocks just said17:01
Laneyso just do it as new-normal17:01
bregmaTrevinho, uploads are automatic but the SRUs will still need review in the queue before it can migrate out of the -proposed pocket17:02
bregmaas I understand it17:02
Trevinhobregma: yeah, that's the same I got17:02
Laneyyep17:03
Laneythey often don't have the fastest turnaround so there might be increased silo pressure ...17:03
Laneywe'll see17:03
bregmaonce we shift aways from landing everything in trunk, it gets murkier17:03
