Sweet5harklarsu, desrt, seb128, other gnome hackers: this might possibly be interesting somewhat of interest to you wrt native gtk3 rendering libreoffice stuff: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/GSoC-Integrating-LO-with-GNOME-WR-3-td4151574.html11:44
Sweet5hark(or something to hint other gnome guys at, that might find it interesting)11:45
seb128Sweet5hark, nice11:45
seb128Sweet5hark, do you know what integration with gnome-documents it's refering to?11:47

Sweet5harkseb128: abstract of the GSOC "Today, GNOME Documents spawns LibreOffice via a rather unreliable  unoconv command-line that converts documents to PDF. It is not only  unreliable but also the results are not good, for example, spreadsheet  rendering results are quite bad.   With this project, we would be improving the existing libreofficekit  based gtk tiled renderer, which would, then, be a very good replacement  of the unreliable unoco11:49
Sweet5harkAs GSOCs go, I didnt want to make too much noise about that too early, but the student seems to make good progress.11:50
desrtso it's a gtk-based library for rendering libreoffice docs?11:51
seb128Sweet5hark, k11:51
desrtsounds pretty cool :)11:51
Sweet5harkdesrt: libreofficekit is a general API for rendering a part/a view of anything libreoffice can read. This GSOC is glueing that to gnome documents.11:53

dgadomskihey seb128, one thing still wonders me about the gvfs-related issue we talked about the other day13:54
seb128hey dgadomski13:54
dgadomskiseb128: if a user mounts a samba share via nautilus I can see it only available at /run/user/<uid>/gvfs, should I expect it also be visible in /etc/mtab somehow?13:55
seb128dgadomski, I don't know how fuse works and if mtab reflects fuse mounts, maybe pitti can help you14:00
dgadomskiseb128: thanks, I'll try to find out more about it, hopefully pitti will have a minute to discuss this14:02
seb128you have a mtab entry for  /run/user/<uid>/gvfs it seems14:02
Sweet5harkochosi: pong14:02
seb128dgadomski, it doesn't seem to have lines for specific mounts, I guess it's under the gvfs entry14:03
dgadomskiseb128: that's right, but not for individual shares mounted -- there's just one gvfsd-fuse filesystem mounted incorporating all filesystems mounted e.g. with nautlius14:03
seb128right14:03
seb128dobey, mvo, could you merge https://code.launchpad.net/~seb128/software-center/gtk-has-icon and https://code.launchpad.net/~seb128/software-center/gtkgrid-deprecated-nrow for me? I uploaded to wily but I don't have commit rights to the vcs to push the changes there14:07
mvoseb128: the icon fix looks SRU worthy even, wdyt?14:08
seb128mvo, I did a SRU with the 2 changes14:08
mvoseb128: \o/14:08
seb128the review fix was worth a SRU as well I think ;-)14:08
mvoseb128: indeed14:09
dobeyseb128: i'll deal with it14:09
seb128dobey, mvo, thanks14:09
mvoaiui there is tarmac runnig and merging the s-c branches, probably needs two votes instead of one?14:09
dobeymvo: no, i think the tarmac is not running any more. i'm going to just get the branches set up to land via ci train instead14:10

dpmseb128, so after your e-mail, I decided to have a go at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity8inLXC to test it first-hand17:56
dpmseb128, I'm on vivid, and I got stuck at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11720763/ - do you have any pointers of what could have gone wrong?17:57
seb128dpm, oh, nice, I didn't try the lxc version yet, how is that working?17:57
dpmwell ^ :)17:57
seb128bregma's team is working on that, maybe he or chris can help you17:57
dpmsupposedly it works, as popey managed to get it running17:58
dpmbut he's on wily IIRC17:58
popeyyes, I am17:58
dpmok, cool, will ask them then, thanks!17:58
popeywhat's not working?17:58
dpmhi bregma, while trying to get the unity8 session in an LXC container working on a vivid host, I got stuck at http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11720763/ - do you have any pointers of what could have gone wrong?17:59
dpmpopey, ^17:59
bregmadpm, you're gonna need ChrisTownsend to help figure that problem out, and he's on vacation until Wednesday17:59
popeydid you do what it says?17:59
dpmargh18:00
popey--fix-missing :)18:00
dpmpopey, not sure how to execute that on the container18:00
popeyah18:00
popeyme either18:00
dpmok, thanks bregma18:00
dpmwill try to figure out how to do surgery in the container18:00
bregmathe container is wily, I believe, so maybe there is a version mismatch between what it's getting anbd what it wants to install18:01
dpmyeah, it downloaded the wily iso at least18:01
bregmathe scripts that adjust the container to use upstart are all Python, so it's got that going for it18:02
bregmaI know a bunch of MPs fixing that whole upstart-version-thing just went in for that project, maybe Chris didn't update his PPA or something?18:03
dpmbregma, could you point me to the MPs? Happy to manually apply them if it's about just fixing the unity8-lxc-setup script18:05
bregmadpm, they're all in trunk http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity8-desktop-session-team/unity8-preview-lxc/trunk/changes/61?start_revid=6118:06

dpmseems there are no pending MPs, though18:08
bregmaright, they all landed18:08
* dpm checks PPA version18:08
bregmathey all landed *in wily*, looks like the vivid version in the PPA is out of date18:10

dpmI guess I can just manually install the wily version on vivid?18:10
* dpm checks content of package18:10
bregmashould be OK18:10
bregmaI believe it's all scripts18:11
dpmit seems so, yes18:12
* dpm tries18:12
dpmit installed at least18:14
dpmnow let see if it runs18:14
dpmfinished without errors18:16
dpmnow let's try to log in ;)18:16
* bregma quivers with anticip18:16
bregmaation18:16
dpmbregma, it kind of worked. When I logged into the unity8 session, I ended up with a black screen and a working mouse cursor. Any ideas how to debug this?18:29
bregmadpm, do you have Intel graphics?18:30
dpmbregma, yeah, with a dual monitor setup, if that makes a difference. FWIW both monitors were working, as in a "clone monitors" setup18:32
bregmanot sure if Mir/Unity8 handles multimonitor yet:  it didn't used to18:33
bregmamay have changed while I wasn't looking18:33
dpmI guess I can just turn one off or pull the cable18:33
dpmbregma, hm, with one monitor, it logs into the unity8 session and then throws me back to lightdm, where only the indicators are active (i.e. the session switcher does not react to clicks). Any ideas, or any log file that could help debugging?18:42
bregmadpm, is that the host lightdm or is it the Unity 8 greeter in the container?18:43
dpmbregma, not sure I can follow. So here's what I did, if that helps with the answer: 1) Reboot 2) Choose the unity8 session in lightdm 3) screen goes black for a bit 4) I'm being shown the same lightdm as 3), with working indicators and non-working switcher18:45
dpmactually, 2) should be "choose unity8 session, enter password and hit enter"18:46
bregmasounds like the hosts's lightdm being displayed, I'd start by checking /var/log/lightdm to see if there are any obvious errors reported18:47
bregmaafter that, I'm afraid you really need Chris18:47
bregmait sounds like the container is shutting down because the compositor has crashed, but I'm really just guessing now18:48
dpmI can't see anything obvious from the lightdm log: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11721077/18:50
dpmbregma, but the compositor log does seem to show a crasher: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11721087/18:52
bregmayep, a typical cryptic Mir error message18:53
bregmaI windoer if that's the new problem where required dependencies are missing from Mir?18:54
bregmammm, shouldn't be, that was worked around by preseeding the desktop-next ISO18:56
dpmnot sure if that makes a difference, but after the failed attempt to run unity8-lxc-setup from the outdated PPA, I then ran 'unity8-lxc-setup --rebuild-all', as I thought that was the logical step given that the ISO had already been downloaded19:00
bregmawell, I know you can build from an already-downloaded ISO, so that should be OK19:01
bregmasome of use have expensive bandwidth and made that an early requirement19:01
dpmyeah, it was quite neat not to have to re-download19:04
bregmaMir guys think maybe the LXC container is missing /dev/shm ... in which case there's yet another new change we'll need to work around19:04
dpmis there anything I can do to work around it manually if that's the issue?19:06
bregmadpm, you could try manually bindmounting /dev/shm, but I'm getting out of my depth at this point.19:12
bregmaif that works, it's definitely time to open a bug against unity8-preview-lxc19:13
dpmbregma, and mine too. Manually starting the LXC container from the host session and using lxc-console seems to show that /dev/shm is there at least19:13
bregmamaybe it's apparmor?19:15
sarnolddmesg | grep DEN or grep DEN /var/log/syslog19:15
dpmoh, actually this is the bug: I'm experiencing: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity8-preview-lxc/+bug/143790019:15
ubot5Launchpad bug 1437900 in Unity8 Desktop Preview in LXC "Black screen with cursor" [Critical,Fix committed]19:15
sarnoldthe "anonymous file" mentioned in the one log reminds me strongly of this: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/memfd_create.2.html19:17
sarnold.. fo rwhich functionality was added to the linux kernel in 3.17. a strace might fnid out what's going on..19:17
bregmawell, it would be a little disappointing if Mir now requires Linux 4.0 or later, but not entirely unsurprising19:21
ogra_bregma, cant happen19:22
ogra_the phones are on 3.4 and the like :)19:22
=== jhodapp_ is now known as jhodapp
dpmbregma, so in case that helps, I manually started the LXC container (it wasn't running before, which seems it failed to autostart) and that seemed to fix the unresponsive lightdm screen. But now I'm back to a black screen with cursor19:29
