imakesenseIs there a distribution of Ubuntu that has good driver support for older systems? My laptop is 7 years old, and I'm worried that I might mess something up that might be a minor problem with the wireless driver. I'm reinstalling Lubuntu aftering getting the driver to completely disable my wifi connectivity.04:17

seb128Mirv, hey, I would like to backport a qtbase patch to vivid, can I do that (I see there are some silos with it already, but they don't seem ready to land)?08:57
Mirvseb128: yes, it's possible (especially if it's desktop/XCB only or such)08:59
seb128Mirv, it does, it's https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/109570/2//ALL,unified08:59
Mirvthe silo 018 needs more patches08:59
seb128Mirv, fix to have proper themed cursors08:59
seb128I debugged that some week ago and suggested a patch upstream08:59
Mirvseb128: right, looks good. go ahead.08:59
seb128the patch was not right but it was enough to get somebody to fix it properly ;-)09:00
seb128Mirv, thanks09:00
seb128Mirv, should I just dput in a silo? or how does that work?09:00
Mirvseb128: qt is done via dput:s yes09:00
Mirvthen testing + publish09:01
seb128k09:01
seb128so I use the gdoc to claim a silo/put a source upload in there09:01
seb128and then dput my change?09:01
Mirvyes09:01
seb128thanks!09:01
MirvI think you can do without the -gles counterpart since it's desktop only. so just qtbase-opensource-src.09:01
Mirvno problem.09:01

* Laney syncs .0 releases of some stuff09:43
Laneyhere comes the release!09:44
Laneyoh what10:54
didrocksLaney: back from running, yeah, there isn't that profile anymore (but we got it before this g-t update)10:57
didrocksor at least, the issue was ignored10:57
Laneywhat issue?10:57
Laneyunknown profiles?10:58
didrocksLaney: yep10:59
Laneyah yes11:00
Laneyit seems it used the default one then11:00
Laneygah, why did they make so many things fatal :(11:00
didrocksmaybe the wrapper should get the same behavior? (so that all backward compatibility is kept in the wrapper)11:00
didrocksif you can detect the installed profiles outside of g-t of course11:00
Laneysounds nasty11:00
didrockswell, less nasty than failing for people upgrading11:01
Laneyfalse choice11:01
Laneythe fix would be to put the old behaviour back in gnome-terminal11:01
didrocksdo you think it's better? I would prefer to have all the compability layer a the same place11:01
didrocksat*11:02
didrocksbut I guess it's your thing, so what you think is the best will do :)11:02
Laneyrather than reimplementing the profile finding logic, yes11:02
Laneylarsu: do you think that gnome-terminal upstream would take a patch to put the old behaviour back?11:03
Laneythey made it bail out if the specified profile isn't found instead of using the default11:03
larsuLaney: sorry, lunch. When was this changed?11:31
* larsu is still having trouble getting his patches accepted11:31
Laneyis 3.6..3.14 a valid answer :)11:31
Laney^?11:31
larsuhaha11:31
larsuI'll have a look at git blame11:31
larsumaybe there's a bug linked11:32
larsuLaney: the check was added in this commit: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-terminal/commit/?id=f728cf6ce5e3668bbe94e7543b12889e8c93644311:38
larsua long time ago...11:38
larsulooks like 3.7.1 or so11:38
Laneyoh well, I'll just file it11:39
larsuLaney: want a patch?11:43
larsuin fact, I wonder if opening the default profle would be the correct thing to do..11:43
Laneyit is if you want to keep compatibility11:44
larsuI'm arguing this was a bug before11:44
larsuand why would anyone rely on that anyway?11:44
LaneyThe whole point of this exercise is to keep old launchers working11:46
LaneyIntroducing new failure scenarios in commandline option handling is the opposite of that11:46
LaneyI guess didrocks decided to delete this profile at some point and didn't update the launcher11:47
didrocksLaney: looking at the name of the profile, I guess it was rather a default one that we dropped11:47
Laneydunno11:48
LaneyEither way it should be fatal11:48
didrocksI would have called it something with "foo" or "bar" :p11:48
larsuLaney: fair enough. I think we should still open an error dialog (or an info bar) in that case11:49
Laneythat'd be possible11:50
larsu"no such profile 'foo'. [profile preferences button]"11:50
didrocksyeah, sounds like the best plan11:50
Laneyit does this if you specify a command that doesn't exist11:50
didrocksbut not dropping the user out of blue11:50
larsudidrocks: indeed. Not showing anything is wrong as well11:50
didrockslarsu: don't listen to me too much, I'm "through the wind" today :p11:50
larsudidrocks: so am I. Figuratively and literally11:51
larsu(just walked back from lunch with dholbach and it was very windy)11:51
larsu(and feel like shit today)11:51
didrocksyou all say it's windy, it's clearly not here, I wonder when we'll get it11:51

mzanettido I need to restart the session?11:56
seb128mzanetti, no, that should work if cgmanager is running11:56
seb128didrocks, not for upgraders11:57
didrocksthat would mean mzanetti didn't upgrade for a very long time :)11:57
mzanettitrue11:57
mzanetti2 months or so11:57

seb128tedg, seems it's fixed in vivid, but unsure with what change of that's easy to backport to rtm, also if that's correct design wise to have the same icon for silent mode and muted13:09
seb128bug #1367818 seems similar and waiting from input to mpt it seems13:10

seb128tedg, can you confirm at least that what it does is what the design suggest and the bug got fixed in vivid?13:10
tedgYes13:10
tedgBTW, I was talking to the designers about it in another channel, so let me finish that conversation first :-)13:11
seb128thanks13:11
seb128lol13:11
mptWhether a phone is in Silent Mode, and whether its volume is zero, are two different things13:11
mptIt still plays music and alarms in Silent Mode13:11
larsu“silent mode” doesn't sound like it should play alarms..13:12
seb128yeah, I would say it shouldn't play anything which is not trigger by an user action13:13
* larsu reads the spec13:13
seb128because that's the thing you turn on when at a spectacle or movie13:13
larsuhm, interesting concept. Very confusing though13:13
seb128larsu, oh?13:13
larsuseb128: the name is confusing, and the fact that there's two different concepts of the phone being silent/mute13:14
seb128larsu, is there an explanation of what those modes are supposed to be?13:14
seb128what "silent mode" is for exactly?13:14
larsuyes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Sound#Silent_Mode13:15
seb128like should I use silent mode or mute my phone when I'm at a movie?13:15
seb128thanks13:15
larsumute13:15
larsubut this is exactly what I mean — it's confusing13:15
larsuimho, mute ought to be enough13:15
seb128well, mute is also muting your morning alarm clock though?13:16
mptYes, it would be13:17
* mpt never uses mute13:17
seb128so if you at at a movie and have an calender invite to an hangout you forgot to delete your phone is playing sound?13:18
seb128it's a bit embarassing :-)13:18
* seb128 wants his phone to vibrate in such cases13:18
larsuseb128: you can't have both this and the morning alarm clock...13:18
larsuunless you treat alarms specially13:18
* didrocks toss in "priority mode"13:19
larsu(which I would)13:19
mptseb128, that wouldn’t be an alarm, that would be a calendar notification13:19

ubot5bug 1410874 in indicator-datetime (Ubuntu) "Alarm sounds vs Calendar sounds" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/141087413:19
larsuI think android is starting to get it very right13:19
seb128by doing what?13:19
larsuand it doesn't need two different mute concepts13:19
* didrocks likes what android does as well13:20
seb128what are they doing?13:20
larsuseb128: there's just volume up/down. All the way down is mute and vibrate13:20
larsualarms are not affected by mute13:21
didrocksseb128: http://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/use-androids-priority-mode-so-notifications-dont-wake-y-1681095117 seems to be a good explanation13:21
seb128didrocks, I was reading that13:21
mptlarsu, so how quiet does the volume have to be before alarms stop being affected by it?13:21
larsuwhen changing volume, you have choices NONE PRIORITY ALL13:21
seb128seems complex/things need to be configured13:21
larsumpt: they are never affected13:21
didrocksseb128: not for going to the cinema13:21
didrocksyou just push volume down13:21
mptYou can’t change the volume of alarms at all?13:22
didrocks"None" -> 2h13:22
larsumpt: there's a separate alarm volume you can change in the settings13:22
didrocksand you are done13:22
mptheh13:22
mptWell, that’s one way of doing it13:22
didrocksseb128: you need to configure in some case, like mine is going in priority mode from 22h to 7h13:22
larsumpt: it's the simplest solution I have ever seen that covers all the cases13:22
didrocksclearly13:22
mptOh, so Priority Mode is Android’s equivalent to Do Not Disturb13:23
didrocksyou can then really tweak it for particular case13:23
seb128didrocks, seems as tedious as the current mode13:23
seb128especially if you don't go to bed at regular hours13:23
seb128like some days I go to bed at 22:30 some days at 1am13:23
seb128so I start the dnd mode manually anyway13:23
larsuseb128: I don't even bother with that, just set it manually at night when I set my alarm13:23
didrocksseb128: you still have your phone showing the notification, just not buzzing/biping13:23
seb128didrocks, right, but I want sound until I go to bed13:24
didrockswell, do then what larsu does13:24
seb128otherwise the phone is on the other side of the room and I miss calls13:24
seb128well, I don't set my alarm at nights13:24
larsuyeah, I'm in the same boat as seb128. Going to bed very irregularly13:24
larsuand need notifications until I do13:24
didrocks"need"13:24
larsus/need/want13:24
seb128want13:24
didrocks;)13:24
didrocksI don't care if I don't have notifications biping/buzzing, i'm just watching my phone before going to bed to see I didn't miss anything13:25
larsuand that's fine13:25
didrocksand I have a white list of people that are still ringing, even in priority mode13:25
seb128yeah, everybody has different use13:25
didrocksright, and I think what they have cover those13:25
didrockscontrary to ours13:25
seb128I think the google one is still tedious13:25
larsuright, my real gripe here was with mpt's two different concepts that are named the same13:26
seb128not discussing it's better than we do (ours is basic)13:26
didrocksours don't cover those cases13:26
larsu"silent mode" and "mute" — couldn't tell you which is which13:26
seb128right13:26
seb128our is less good13:26
seb128but I don't find the google one great either13:26
seb128or at least it's still tedious13:26
didrocksseb128: my bet is that I think most of people just use the "None" -> X hours13:26
seb128yeah, could be13:26
didrocksI wouldn't do that every evening though13:27
larsuX hours is *perfect* for going to the movies or some event13:27
didrocksseems like larsu can:)13:27
larsuI always forget to reenable sound after such a thing13:27
didrockssame for me13:27
seb128same here13:27
mptlarsu, per spec, the word “Mute” only ever appears on the PC, while “Silent Mode” only ever appears on the phone13:27
larsudidrocks: I have a habit of setting an alarm every evening anyway13:27
didrockslarsu: crazy dude! :)13:27
seb128well, you sort of do if you go to bed to changing hours and want to adjust your wake up time in consequence13:28
mptlarsu, I don’t know how I’m going to conv3rgeNCE!!!1 them yet, but it’s not the case that there are two similarly-named things in the UI on any device :-)13:29
larsumpt: oh, I was reading the section *above* "Phone", which mentions "Mute (not to be confused with Silent Mode)"13:29
larsumute on the PC is kind of silly anyway13:29
* larsu would be fine if we dropped it13:29
larsubut then, many laptops have hardware mute keys13:29
mptYeah, it exists half as a bit of padding to stop the volume slider from being first menu item13:30
larsuwhich behave differently from the way the spec describes13:30
larsumpt: haha, cool13:30
mptlarsu, so fix bug 552920 and I’ll remove it ;-)13:30

seb128desrt, hey15:34
desrthey.  what's up?15:34
desrtnot a lot to report this week in terms of bullet points, but i've been working on a big one:15:35
desrtwhile i have the file monitor code fresh in my brain, i'm trying to slay the "periodic polling on missing files" thing15:35
desrti made some pretty good progress on that over the weekend but it's still going to be a substantial slog15:35
desrtnot much else to report15:35
seb128desrt, did any of the backtrace/e.u.c reports I pinged you about looked concerning or as potential glib issues to you?15:36
seb128desrt, I'm asking because several of those component didn't change since previous cycle and the reports started this cycle and are in glib code15:37
desrti took some time looking at those.  one of them seemed semi-legitimate and i made a patch to downgrade the assert to a warning (which i forgot to commit until just now, thanks for the reminder)15:37
desrtthe other two just looked like gvariant refcounting issues15:37
seb128thanks15:37
desrtif you can get me more information about those (cores, etc) i'd be happy to look15:37
desrtbut otherwise it's pretty impossible :/15:37

Laneyno16:12
Laneyempty override means no override16:12
seb128didrocks, no, the override is doing nothing16:12

Laneythe maintainer said so yesterday16:13

seb128didrocks, we discussed it yesterday, jodh confirmed it does nothing16:13
seb128on this channel16:13
didrocksinteresting, that either changed or all the tests that we did until a couple of months were wrong16:13
seb128but I didn't test to be honest16:13
didrocksthat's basically how we disable upstart jobs16:13
didrocksship an empty .override16:13
Laneyyou probably put "manual" in an override file16:13
seb128are you sure you didn't have a "manual" line in those?16:13
didrocksLaney: no, completely empty in the tests16:13
seb128hum :-/16:13
seb128k, need testing then16:14

seb128"jodhseb128: ogra is right - the empty override would be parsed and found to contain no stanzas, so would be a NOP"16:14
didrocksseems the cookbook agrees with this16:15

seb128Laney, upstream? #ubuntu-x? email mlankhosrt? ;-)16:16
Laneyshould try an old kernel I guess16:16
Laneyhrhr16:16
seb128Laney, joke aside we don't have anyone dedicated to xorg, robert_ancell is doing xmir and might know about things, but I doubt he knows much about input and synaptic16:17
seb128maybe tjaalton can help you?16:17
seb128but yeah, trying to downgrade kernel and drivers would be a first step I guess16:17
didrocksseb128: ok, you got the discussion after I left it seems16:19
didrocksseriously, we need to get the final word on this, I'll retest tomorrow16:19
didrocksas either way, there is some work involved16:19
seb128jodh, ^ what's going on there? empty override disable jobs it seems?16:19
seb128didrocks, right16:19
didrocksjodh: that was what we did in the upstart -> systemd transition, and I'm pretty sure the tests showed that (seems like Laney did a quick test and confirms)16:20
didrocksand we have multiple postinst doing this16:20
popeyAnyone reported terrible network performance on vivid recently?16:21
didrockspopey: nothing remarkable at least here16:21
popeyToday my laptop is all over the place, sometimes 5Mb/s, sometimes 100Mb/s16:21
ogra_didrocks, what Laney confirmed above is an empty new user job, not an override file16:21
popeyit's fine between machines on my lan, but running speedtest I get wild results16:21
Laneyogra_: different filename?16:21
popeyother machines on my network are fine, it's only my laptop16:21
ogra_Laney, right ... try with .override16:22
Laneyok, phew!16:22
didrocksogra_: works the same way for upstart session?16:22
ogra_didrocks, no idea ...16:22
Laneyoh yeah this is good now16:22
Laneyallllllll good16:22
ogra_all i know is that you need the empty file if you want to make it writable :)16:23
didrocksgood thing we still have an upstart boot option :)16:23
ogra_we cant bind mountnon existing files ;)16:23
ogra_(add appropriate spacing above)16:23
didrocksogra_: which was why I was tracking that patch, based on my experience that empty .overrides did this16:23
ogra_afaik only if you add manual to the16:24
ogra_m16:24
didrockslet's confirm on upstart system, and then fix postinst16:24
didrocksogra_: weird that we would have done that and tested happily a bunch of times for the transition16:24
ogra_well, i never validated what i think :)16:24
ogra_and i never had to ship an empty upstart file16:25
didrocksupdate-rc.d adds the "disable" content16:25
didrocksoh, I know why our .postinst can work…16:25
ogra_but that just a .override acts as no-op is something that keybuk already told me many years ago16:25
didrockswe ship the empty .override16:25
didrocksit indicates for us "disable"16:25
didrocksand then, the postinst recall update-rc.d disable…16:25
ogra_no, it indicates that it overrides something16:26
didrockswhich would add "manual"16:26
ogra_you can just put a different "start on fo" in there16:26
didrocksogra_: not in the systemd postinst logic16:26
didrocksogra_: I'm talking about how we approached it :)16:26
didrocksbut then, the second call to update-rc.d "fixed" it16:26
didrocksand that's how we maybe never saw our supposition was wrong16:26
ogra_ah16:26
didrocksok, anyway, testing that first thing tomorrow, if so, then, going over our postinsts to fix it16:27
jodhdidrocks: where are these empty .override files being created?16:29
didrocksjodh: preinst, postinst, ship by defaults in various packages16:29
jodhdidrocks: what directory are they being created in16:29
didrocksjodh: /etc/init/16:29
jodhdidrocks: I'll test locally but that should not disable the job. Try creating a ~/.config/upstart/foo.{conf,override} pair and seeing the behaviour.16:31
didrocksjodh: let me confirm tomorrow with rebooting with init as upstart. I've an idea why we didn't detect our supposition was wrong (as we rerun invoke-rc.d disable if we detected a .override file)16:32
didrocksso that call is marking "manual", and the job is really disable16:32
didrocksstill not the right logic, so better to fix it16:33
didrocksjodh: will keep you posted if I notice anything anyway!16:34
