bluesabreRelease team: With xfce 4.12 due to be released this weekend, the Xubuntu team would like to include it in vivid.  Since we've been carrying development versions of each component since 14.04, the releases will be largely bug fixes with a major version number bump.11:35

cjwatsonLaney: Would you have a minute to review/merge https://code.launchpad.net/~cjwatson/britney/dynamic-arches/+merge/250462 for me?  I'd really like to be able to enable non-copying proposed-migration runs for precise.12:02
cjwatsonWould let me cross that task entirely off my list.12:02
Laneycjwatson: Alright12:04
LaneyNow what's it doing? Taking the original config file and substituting the list of arches to create a per series one12:05
cjwatsonLaney: Right12:11
cjwatsonI could make the whole thing be explicitly a template but it doesn't really matter12:11
sil2100Hello release team! We have an unity8 landing ready to be released, but one part of the changes in it might be considered a new 'feature'12:11
sil2100The developer says that partially it's a feature, but also fixes a bug when running on the desktop12:12
sil2100https://code.launchpad.net/~mzanetti/unity8/reveal-launcher-with-mouse-hover/+merge/24891312:12
sil2100Should we fill in an FFe for it, or can I publish it as it is?12:12
ScottKsil2100: It is a new feature that should have an FFe, but looking at the merge proposal, I'm willing to say "FFe granted" right now, so consider it done.12:14
sil2100ScottK: oh, thanks - would we need to fill in an FFe bug for it anyway, or can we simply let it in without a formal one?12:44
Logansounds like you don't need to ;)12:45
sil2100o/12:47
elfyLaney: thanks :)13:02
Laneycjwatson: done - are you going to take care of enabling?13:11
elfyLaney: is there something awry with Mate for the Beta 1 ?13:13
Laneylike what?13:14
elfylike it's not showing13:14
Laneyhmm13:15
Laneyit's still "(re-building)"13:15
Laneywhy might that be?13:15
LaneyInvalid entry 'Ubuntu Mate Desktop amd64' for 'vivid'13:16
LaneyInvalid entry 'Ubuntu Mate Desktop i386' for 'vivid'13:16
elfyno idea personally - though Mate is all new ofc13:17
flexiondotorgLaney, wish I could help. Ubuntu MATE was manually built yesterday and then via the nightlies.13:19
cjwatsonLaney: Brilliant, thanks, and yes.13:20
cjwatsonLaney: Oh it's just a case disagreement13:20
LaneyYes, fixed13:20
cjwatsonYou fixed it in cdimage?13:20
Laneyhttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cdimage/+livefs/ubuntu/vivid/ubuntu-mate/+build/20690 etc13:20
cjwatsonI think I'd have changed the tracker13:21
cjwatsonBut whatever :)13:21
LaneyYeah. Could have, but I'd already got to the file. :P13:22
elfythanks Laney13:26

cyphermoxyay15:00
ogra_wow15:04
flexiondotorgLaney, cyphermox Thanks!15:04
flexiondotorgI've been keeping a list of all that helped. You've all been great.15:04
flexiondotorgLaney, so I'm new at this. What happens now with Beta 1?15:20
flexiondotorgLaney, Is that it or is there time to test and fix?15:20
Laneyflexiondotorg: There's time until Thursday afternoon-ish15:21
Laneyflexiondotorg: Generally flavours do QA on the ISO tracker (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/QATracker)15:21
LaneyReport any bugs you find there, fix any you consider critical (ones which bust the image)15:22
flexiondotorgLaney, and between now and then are the archives frozen?15:22
LaneyOnce you're happy, before the cut-off of late Thursday afternoon Europe time, mark it as ready on the tracker then it gets included in the release15:22
flexiondotorgFor example, will nightlies effectively be Beta 1?15:22
LaneyWe freeze all of the packages which are on the flavours participating in the release15:23
LaneyAnd turn off nightlies. Good point - if you need a fix in, you need to get the release team to unblock it and then you need to manually (via the ISO tracker) request a new image to be built.15:23
flexiondotorgWhat about seeds? Will germinate updates happen?15:23
LaneyYou should have access to do this for MATE via the tracker15:23
flexiondotorgLaney, I do.15:24
LaneyIf not, grab stgraber because I don't know how to set that up. :)15:24
flexiondotorgTracker is up. Have 2 QA guys who know the ropes.15:24
LaneyI think germinate happens from bzr checkouts15:24
LaneyJust the meta package requires a real upload (AFAIK)15:24
Laneyflexiondotorg: As far as we're concerned, be marked as ready by the time we want to release (people will start hassling you if you're not).15:25
LaneyOn your side, do whatever QA you want to be happy ticking that box.15:26
LaneyYou can add new test cases to the ISO tracker if you like - Ubuntu desktop has some if you want inspiration15:27
flexiondotorgcjwatson, You know we discussed no-recommends earlier.15:34
flexiondotorgcjwatson, There is an issue in that gnome-settings-daemon has been pulled in and Ubiquity is not using all the MATE gsettings.15:35
flexiondotorgcjwatson, Laney If I prepare updated seeds and meta package can they be uploaded ahead of Beta 1 release?15:36
flexiondotorgcjwatson, Laney What else do I need to do other than prepare pages?15:37
flexiondotorg*packages?15:37
Laneyflexiondotorg: Just update the seeds, any sponsor can generate the package themselves15:38
bdmurraycjwatson: https://code.launchpad.net/~brian-murray/ubuntu-archive-tools/autopkg-excuses/+merge/25079516:26
flexiondotorgLaney, I've pushed changes to the seeds.16:29
Laneyflexiondotorg: what's the address of the branch?16:29
flexiondotorgLaney, Would you sponsor generating the ubuntu-mate-meta package generation?16:29
cjwatsonbdmurray: can you drop the release != 'trusty' bit?  duplicates the following test, and we should be able to get utopic too16:30
flexiondotorgLaney, lp:~ubuntu-mate-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu-mate.vivid16:30
flexiondotorgLaney, however this change also mean a little change to ubuntu-mate-artwork.16:31
cjwatsonbdmurray: also seems like it would behave weirdly as pkg_excuses isn't initialised otherwise16:31
flexiondotorgLaney, how should I proceed with requesting a new package release for that?16:31
cjwatsonoh in fact you just lose whole sections of the report otherwise don't you?16:31
bdmurraycjwatson: yeah, that was for testing removing!16:31
Laneyflexiondotorg: who's your previous sponsor?16:32
bdmurraycjwatson: updated16:32
cjwatsonbdmurray: should we show tests in progress too?16:32
flexiondotorgLaney, several.16:32
cjwatsonif it's still in progress after the timeout there's something wrong, of course, but it seems like maybe it'd be good to see16:32
flexiondotorgcyphermox, Could you be helpful again?16:32
LaneyMaybe one of those could do the needful16:33
LaneyOtherwise I might be able to tomorrow16:33
flexiondotorgLaney, are you doing the meta package or shall I ask a sponsor to help with both?16:33
LaneyI'll do meta16:33
flexiondotorgLaney, thanks.16:33
bdmurraycjwatson: okay, I'll have a look at in progress test support16:34
cjwatsonI think it should be a one-liner16:36
cjwatson'Test in progress' is the key16:36
cyphermoxflexiondotorg: hey, what with?16:40
flexiondotorgcyphermox, I new ubuntu-mate-artwork release please.16:41
Laneyflexiondotorg: Are you aware that your meta package is blocking on mate-menu & mate-tweak?16:42
cyphermoxflexiondotorg: ok, just point me to the code and I'll sponsor16:42
flexiondotorgLaney, I realise that mate-menu (in the upload queue) and mate-tweak are missing.16:43
flexiondotorgLaney, Does that prevent making a new meta package?16:43
flexiondotorgcyphermox, Thanks - bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-mate-dev/ubuntu-mate/ubuntu-mate-artwork16:44
cjwatsonLaney: germinate-update-metapackage should omit those since they're not in the archive16:44
flexiondotorgLaney, what is the authoritive bzr repo for ubuntu-mate-meta now?16:45
Laneycjwatson: Seems someone has configured ubuntu-mate-meta to use a PPA16:45
cjwatson*-meta aren't typically stored in bzr16:46
flexiondotorgLaney, because it has been uploaded with the old PPA references in it. Which I am more than happy to fix.16:46
cjwatsonLaney: ugh, that should surely be ripped out now that it's in the archive16:46
LaneyYes16:46
cjwatsoncaja-actions too16:47
LaneyThat's gone in bzr16:47
cjwatsonOK16:47
flexiondotorgI'm happy to do the PPA removal. Just seeking clarification which bzr repo is authritative for ubuntu-mate-meta now/16:48
flexiondotorg?16:48
cjwatsonflexiondotorg: I did clarify that16:48
cjwatsonYou appear to have one historically, but I would recommend that the answer be "none"16:49
cjwatsonThey're a waste of effort for what's largely autogenerated16:49
cjwatsonAnd since other *-meta don't have them, other developers are unlikely to remember to commit to them, so they'll become out of date16:50
flexiondotorgcjwatson, OK. Are the meta package automatically regenerated?16:50
cjwatsonThe process of uploading *-meta is typically to run ./update and build a new source package16:50
flexiondotorgcjwatson, Understood.16:51
cjwatsonAnyway, just my recommendation16:51
cyphermoxflexiondotorg: changelog in ubuntu-mate-artwork doesn't match what got uploaded before, could you please fix that?16:53
flexiondotorgcyphermox, Sure.16:53
flexiondotorgcyphermox, It is a new version though.16:53
cyphermoxyes16:54
cyphermoxbut we should keep track of the changelog as it gets uploaded, etc.16:54
cyphermoxfor example, you got ubuntu-meta-artwork 0.4.2ubuntu1 in the archive, it probably should just have been 0.4.2, and it's not at all in debian/changelog in the branch16:54
flexiondotorgcyphermox, Sorry. I see what you mean. One sec.16:55
Laneyflexiondotorg: I can fix update.cfg directly and drop Vcs-* from debian/control if that's what you want16:58
flexiondotorgLaney, fine with me.16:59
LaneyOkay16:59
flexiondotorgcyphermox, ubuntu-mate-artwork should be good now.17:01
cyphermoxalright17:01
Laneyflexiondotorg: okay, uploaded, I guess you're going to want this in the beta?17:08
Laneyah, it's not blocked anwyay (because it isn't in release) - never mind17:08
flexiondotorgLaney, yes please. But, I'd also like ubuntu-mate-artwork in the archive is possible.17:09
flexiondotorg*if possible.17:09
LaneyLet one of us know when that's uploaded17:09
infinityLaney: Hey, what's the story on Beta1?  Would you hate me if I slide a new kernel in from proposed (ie: are people pretty much guaranteed to still be respinning right now?)17:37
Laneyinfinity: I only know of MATE planning it, maybe elfy knows more17:39
elfyinfinity: I don't know of anyone doing so17:40
infinityelfy: Okay, so at this point, the current images are RCs?17:40
infinityelfy: If so, I won't go breaking your freeze. :P17:41
infinityelfy: But let me know if I can slip that kernel in due to some other rebuild triggering event.17:41
infinity(ie: ubiquity bug causing the world to respin, whatever)17:41
elfywell I've got one atm17:41
elfyjust need to check it in kvm and hardware17:42
elfybug 142504717:42
elfybug 142504717:42
flexiondotorgelfy, I'll take a look at #1425047 also17:44
infinityelfy: Curious.  The installation looks like it makes it all the way to the end (removes the live stuff, installs non-free and updates target), so I'd need more to go on than the description.17:46
elfywell I thought it might help to do that debug ubiquity business from the other night with cyphermox - so just doing that17:47
elfysorting a usb to boot hardware from as well17:47
cyphermoxelfy: what debug business?17:53
elfycyphermox: sorry - didn't mean to ping you ... just the bug you fixed for us - using that knowledge I picked up :)17:54
cyphermoxoh, I thought you meant you were working on some other fix17:54
cyphermoxI see I just misparsed the sentence above17:55
cjwatsonbdmurray: proposed-migration is on for precise now too.17:58
mlankhorstcan someone accept libdrm / armhf ?18:00
flexiondotorginfinity, If you have the time please take a look at mate-tweak and mate-menu in the upload queue 😃18:04
infinityflexiondotorg: Getting there.18:06
elfyinfinity: mmm so kvm just boots to a blank desktop here18:07
flexiondotorginfinity, Thanks 😃18:08
infinityelfy: Blank destkop, as in the invisible ubiquity bug is back? :(18:14
infinitycyphermox: ^-- I think this is all you.18:14
elfyinfinity: in kvm - possible I don't have it set up properly though - that's new to me18:15
elfyand hardware is not looking good either - just redoing that18:15
elfyI've added the debug logs from running aybe-ubiquity debug-ubiquity on this in vbox to the report18:16
infinityelfy: I don't use any of the pretty frontends, but if you have a disk image (ie: a massive empty file), you can just "kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom my-testing.iso" and it should give you something plausibly useful.18:17
elfymmm - did something like that the other day and managed to fill / :p18:17
infinityOh, also needs '-m 2048' or similar, since the default machine's memory size is STUPIDLY TINY.18:19
elfy:)18:19
infinityelfy: Grabbing your latest i386 ISO and running a test install in the background to see if I can reproduce that bug.18:21
elfythanks18:27
elfyinfinity: ok - seeing exactly the same on hardware here18:30
cyphermoxinfinity: doh18:33
elfythough - if you reboot - all of these appear to have installed18:36

infinityelfy: +1 for Grumpy Cat being the avatar for the example user in your slideshow.19:12
elfylol19:14
cyphermoxelfy: so is ubiquity still busted?19:15
cyphermoxlooks fine to me with a one-shot very unscientific test in kvm ;)19:15
elfycyphermox: right - boot to the menu - install not try19:15
elfyinstalls ok - then crashes seemingly - but boots fine19:16
elfyI've seen this happen 3 times in vbox, twice on hardware19:16
infinityelfy: Any specific options need to be picked, or just a default install?19:16
elfyjust install rather than try19:16
infinityOh, hrm.19:16
infinityYeah, got to the end and the ubiquity window just went poof.19:17
cyphermoxelfy: ah, but that's something quite different19:17
elfyinstalling from within the livesession - works19:17
cyphermoxok19:17
elfycyphermox: than what?19:17
cyphermoxelfy: than what I last fixed19:17
cyphermoxdo you have a bug report open?19:17
infinitycyphermox: After removing live stuff and setting up langpacks, etc, ubiquity seems to have just... Disappeared.19:17
* cyphermox starts the install19:17
elfycyphermox: oic - yea - I didn't say it was the same thing - blame infinity foir that :)19:17
infinityelfy: How do I get a terminal here?19:17
elfyin install rather than try you'd need vt1 or something19:18
elfynothing available other than that19:18
cyphermoxelfy: maybe we should put in a hook just so that it's a bit easier19:18

cyphermoxheh19:20
cyphermoxhere ubiquity doesn't show up :/19:20
cyphermoxinfinity: can't you right-click the desktop to get a menu in xubuntu ?19:21
elfyyou can - but it's pointless19:21
elfycyphermox: yea - no ubiquity19:22
cyphermoxelfy: I didn't even get to start the installation19:22
cyphermoxtrying to open a terminal gets me a terminal, but way off-screen19:22
cyphermoxugh19:22
infinitycyphermox: entire disk blew up the same for me.19:23
cyphermoxinfinity: ok, that's what I hoped... I didn't want to come up with some weird partitioning scheme :)19:23
infinityAnd hah, you're right, the right-clicked terminal totally "works", it's just not anywhere I can see it.  It's running, though!19:24
infinityHow amazingly unhandy.19:24
bdmurraycjwatson: ack19:25
cyphermoxinfinity: right side, hover the pointer near the edge and you'll see a different cursor19:25
cyphermoxyou can resize the terminal to get to it19:25
cyphermox(or anyway, I could)19:26
infinitycyphermox: So, ubiquity seems to still be running.  I imagine it's meant to be showing me a "hey you, I'm all done, wanna reboot?" dialog.  So maybe it's the same visibility issue in another spot.19:26
cyphermoxI bet this is the same crap ubiquity was doing, so it's not fixed properly19:26
cyphermoxinfinity: likely19:26
cyphermoxI bet none of it is visibility, it's all location on screen19:26
cyphermoxthat is, if you can get your terminal the way I suggested19:26
infinityPossibly, yes.19:26
infinityI can't find the terminal, it's lost forever. :P19:26
cyphermoxnah19:27
infinityBut alt-tab shows both ubiquity and the terminal hiding... Somewhere.19:27
cyphermoxyou don't see any weird white line near the edge of the screen?19:27
infinityAnd yes, the ubiquity window is titled "installation complete".19:27
infinitySo, it's done, it's just off screen somewhere.  Or something.19:27
cyphermoxyuck19:27
cyphermoxinfinity: you doing this in kvm?19:28
infinitycyphermox: Yeah.19:28
cyphermoxok19:29
cyphermoxinfinity: scratch the cursor part, it doesn't show up, but I can still drag from the higher half of the right side of the screen to resize a terminal window19:30
infinityIt's starting to smell like an xfce or gtk bug, maybe.19:30
infinityOr, I guess, ubiquity-dm is setting up an incorrect workspace layout.19:31
cyphermoxyeah19:32
cyphermoxbut there aren't multiple workspaces19:32
cyphermoxor at least not that I can notice19:32
elfyjust one as default19:32
cyphermoxbut the screen size is definitely wrong, things appear off-screen19:32
infinityYeah, if I alt-tab to ubiquity, alt-space-m, I can move it on-screen.19:32
cyphermoxsame for desktop settings19:33
infinityThe dialog's there, just not where it should be.19:33
infinityBut given that every thing I start from the right-click menu has the same issue, it's not ubiquity doing this.  Though maybe ubiquity-dm.19:34
cyphermoxyeah19:34
cyphermoxless likely to be X, given that it doesn't appear to happen on non-xubuntu19:35
cyphermoxthough I wonder if it's not that kvm and virtualbox aren't exactly helping, I'm going to spend a bit of time testing this on hardware19:36
infinityWell, and not too likely to be xfce or gtk in general, per se, since the live session and installed system don't have the positioning issue.19:36
infinitySo it's the "special" session we're setting up with u-dm that sucks.19:36
cyphermoxhm, good point19:36
elfyso - basically - more than one thing going on here19:39
infinityelfy: Hopefully just the one thing, actually.  It's finding out what that thing is that might be a challenge. :P19:40
elfy:)19:40
elfygood job I drive a van for a living then ;)19:40
cyphermoxusually bugs are fairly simple once you find what piece to change19:40
cyphermoxxrandr reports the right screen size19:40
cyphermoxelfy: do you know if _NET_NUMBER_OF_DESKTOPS gets used for something special in xfce?19:58
