TheMusocyphermox: I think you forgot to push your casper changes to bzr. Don't worry about it now, I'll fix it up... I just went to upload a new revision of the package based on the bzr branch to find it rejected due to your upload...01:30
Noskcaj-schoolThe current version of clutter-1.0 in wily is broken with many graphics card due to switching to gdk as the default backend. See bug 146244502:40
ubot5bug 1462445 in parole (Ubuntu) "Parole starts with blank screen" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/146244502:40
Noskcaj-schoolThis means totem and parole don't function with their default videosink, and many other clutter apps have issues02:41
Noskcaj-schoolWould it be safe to revert the change of default backend until a proper fix is found? https://git.gnome.org/browse/clutter/commit/?id=60dbeb9425f51fc602ba2fe89b2a968ef4b527ed02:42
didrocksNoskcaj-school: hey, Laney won't be around today if I'm right, I'll do with the revert personnaly, but I didn't update clutter for quite some years, so I would prefer to have a second opinion02:46
TheMusoOh hey didrocks. :) Wasn't aware you were currently so closely aligned with us down under. :p02:47
Noskcaj-schooldidrocks: thanks. i'll link a bunch more bugs here that it should fix02:48
didrocksTheMuso: hey! my jetlag is closely aligned (already up for 5 hours) ;)02:49
TheMusodidrocks: Ah ok, that makes sense.02:49
didrocksNoskcaj-school: yeah, I bet there are quite some side-effects of this change…02:49
didrocksTheMuso: yep! on the positive side, it's only 24°C right now and not 39°C like yesterday…02:50
didrocksso working by night is quite an advantage02:50
TheMusoYeah I can imagine, although 24 degrees overnight is still pretty warm.02:50
Noskcaj-schoolThe revert should be safe since it's what we've had until wily, but we'll need to fix the backend itself soonish02:51
didrocksindeed, we have a hot summer here02:51
didrocksNoskcaj-school: indeed02:51

pittiGood morning04:20
didrockshey pitti!04:33
pittiça va didrocks !04:38
didrocksça va bien, et toi ?04:39
didrocksjetlag though, slept 3 hours, wake up at midnight… and working since then :p04:39
pittididrocks: where did you go?04:44
didrocksWashington DC for 3 weeks04:45
didrocksjust diverted to New York for 4 days :)04:45
didrocksoh, I forgot to send you this google+ post with the space food04:45
didrocksasking if you wanted more :p04:45
didrocks(I was explaining your deep interest to Julie)04:45
pittididrocks: heh, thanks; I've had three space ice creams now, that was enough to get a feeling for it :)04:58
didrocksah, of course, ice creams had to be involved… :)05:00
didrockswe got some frozen yogurts there, but no ice creams05:01
pittididrocks: so did you spend a lot of time on the mall?05:11
pittididrocks: I spent like a whole day on the Air & Space museum alone back then, and the one with the rocks and meteorites etc. (Natural History?) was also quite good05:12
didrockspitti: yeah, we visited most of the museum around it, and did as well a lot of walking in general (25km/day in New York and between 15 to 20 kms/day in DC)05:12
pittiwow05:13
didrocksyeah, Natural History was interesting, the American history one as well05:13
didrocksthe National Art Gallery was bigger than what we expected05:13
pittididrocks: we only had one weekend after the core sprint back then, not enough to see everything :/05:13
didrocksand also we visited the capitol, the capitol library which is splendid, the supreme court…05:13
pittioh, great! we didn't get to that; "only" the white house05:13
didrocksyeah, we even didn't visit everything we wanted, and that was in 3 weeks with almost no day off!05:14
pittithat sounds intense!05:14
didrocksyeah, we couldn't go back to white house, to many people already booked05:14
didrocksbut Julie wasn't that disappointed05:14
pittiyeah, it really wasn't that big of a deal honestly05:14
didrocksagreed, we are quite used to those kind of furnitures in Europe I guess05:14
didrocksthe capitol library was way more impressive05:15
pittiit's also a bit of a shame that I've been at the white house, but never yet at the "Bundeskanzleramt" in Berlin05:15
pittiI bet!05:15
didrocksah, I guess it's always that, you visit more than people living around :)05:16
didrockswe spent the 14th of July at the embassee05:16
didrockswas surprise to see there the ex prime-minister05:16
didrocksalso the imf (which is under French governance) president05:17
didrocksand the first day in DC, we crossed on a street our agriculture current minister05:18
didrocksnever saw any famous politic in France, have to go to the US to see them :p05:18
pittilol05:18
didrocksso yeah, was a really nice trip! and at least, Julie discovered a little bit of this country05:19
didrocksoh also, almost forgot05:22
didrocksthe smoothest ever immigration process to the US ever05:22
didrocks10 people in front of us05:22
didrocks(seems there were only american citizen in this flight)05:23
pittididrocks: wow!05:24
=== broder_ is now known as broder
pittididrocks: so far my smoothest one was Austin last time05:25
pittididrocks: with the passport machines; but even that took 10 mins (!)05:25
didrockswe couldn't get there, it's only if you ESTA was already processed manually once05:25
didrocksand I got a new one, and it was the first time for Julie…05:26
didrockspitti: I'm probably going to take a nap. Do you mind telling to seb and will if they are looking for me that I'll be back later on? (keeping IRC on). I've already worked 8 hours anyway today, but I'll keep in touch with them at lunch time/afternoon06:00
didrockslet's see how long I can sleep… :p06:00
pittididrocks: sure! sleep weel!06:01

larsuguten morgen pitti!07:08
seb128hey pitti, happy friday! how are you?07:09
pittiseb128: quite well, thanks! yourself?07:12
pittiseb128: FYI, didrocks' body clock is still all wrong; didrocks | 00:07:09> good well, morning I guess :)07:12
pittiseb128: he went to bed an hour ago, but he'll catch up with you and will around noon07:13
seb128pitti, yeah, I read the irclog when I saw larsu's comment07:14
seb128pitti, weird jetlag shift from a trip back from US eastcoast ;-)07:14
seb128I usually sleep until like 1am when I come back07:14
seb128ups07:15
seb1281pm I mean07:15
seb128oh, and I'm good thanks ;-)07:16
pittiyeah, maybe instead of adjusting 6 hours forward he's trying to adjust 18 hours backwards :)07:16
seb128:-)07:26
seb128pitti, http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/u/ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts/wily/i386/ is that a new infra bug/do you want to be pinged about those?07:43
pittiseb128: I'm still regularly watching the tmpfail ones, so no need for that yet07:45
pittiseb128: that's the kind of hiccup I'm looking for indeed07:46
seb128k07:47
willcookemorning07:51
seb128hey willcooke07:57
willcookebah, no golf on this morning08:02
willcookeWashed out08:02
willcookeThey said it rained 12mm in 30 mins this morning08:03
seb128urg08:03
seb128welcome to england!08:03
willcookeScotland08:03
willcooke:)08:03
seb128haha08:03
willcookeNothing to do with us ;[08:03
willcooke;p08:03
seb128yeah yeah08:03
willcookelol08:03
pittiseb128: so, this auto-retries up to 3 times after such a "nova boot" failure (it has a timeout of 30 mins, usually it takes 1 min)08:05
pittiseb128: so for now I take it scalingstack was down for a longer period last night08:05
pittiseb128: it already broke down for about an hour yesterday around noon, I asked and they fixed it08:05
pittiseb128: so for now I'm just re-running all tmpfail tests08:06
pittiseb128: (just FYI)08:06
seb128seems not a really reliable infrastructure :-/08:06
seb128pitti, k, thanks08:06
pittiseb128: well, this is all still fairly new, so lots of opportunities for IS to learn :) but I think they actually fixed a config bug there, it was not just a "reboot and hope" thing08:07
seb128k08:07
pittiseb128: and I can certainly improve the auto-retry thing, that's my part08:07
seb128larsu, oh btw, what's the status of the theme update? Laney if off today and you are on vac starting tonight ...08:07
pittiseb128: that's the point of running that for 2/3 weeks on the side, and seeing the fallout08:08
seb128pitti, yeah, ideally you could rely on the infra to be up, but things need to work in real world not in theory...08:08
pittiseb128: well, it's not like the four current machines never fail :)08:08
* pitti strokes his sore "retry test" finger08:08
seb128lol08:08
larsuseb128: I've proposed the nautilus parts on Monday. I'll get eog and some minor things up later today (at latest on the weekend) - after I figure out this terminal resizing thing08:12
seb128larsu, k08:12
larsuwhat's the status on the overlay scrollbars?08:12
seb128what do you mean?08:12
larsucan we merge it?08:13
seb128I though that was part of the coming theme update08:13
larsuno, it's been proposed for a while08:13
larsuwaiting on design I think08:13
seb128oh, right, willcooke was supposed to ask them?08:13
larsuI think he did and people liked it, but I don't know if that was the official answer yet08:13
larsuI'll ask him when he's around08:13
seb128k, let's land it then, I think we agreed that it was a good start in any case even if extra tweaking is needed later08:15
seb128willcooke, ^08:15
seb128larsu, the nautilus changes look good to me, approved it08:17
larsuthanks!08:18
seb128yw!08:18
willcookelarsu, seb128 - it's with johnlea.  He was due to talk to Mark about it yesterday.  We gave him a video showing the new set up and he was going to demo to Mark08:24
seb128k08:24
seb128let we know when you hear back from him08:24
willcookeI'm just trying to get hold of him now....08:24
seb128thanks08:24
pittiseb128, Laney: FYI, bug 147553708:26
ubot5bug 1475537 in gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu Wily) "powerpc/ppc64el regression: libgtk-3-dev broken in 3.16.5-1ubuntu1" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/147553708:26
seb128shrug08:29
seb128why is that arch specific?08:29
seb128pitti, thanks for finding it out :-)08:30
pittiseb128: I just followed up again08:30
seb128thanks08:31
pittiseb128:          libmirclient-dev [amd64 arm64 armhf i386],08:31
seb128is that from a time where mir didn't exist on other archs?08:31
pittiapparently so08:32
seb128k, so we just need to drop those restrictions I guess08:32
* seb128 does that08:32
pittiright08:32
pittiseb128: so build and binary deps should have the same arch list08:33
pittieither drop the build dep from powerpc/ppc64el, or drop the arch list from the -dev, depending on whether mir works on ppc08:33
seb128I don't know if it "works"08:34
seb128but it builds/should be installable08:34
pittiseb128: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/u/ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts/ est vert à nouveau08:34
seb128bien !08:34
pittiseb128: so I agree, just dropping the arch restriction in the -dev sounds fine for now08:35
seb128cool08:35
seb128thanks pitti08:35
pittiseb128: thanks for fixing! once this is in -proposed, I can rebuild packagekit and resolve that NBS08:35
* pitti loves the pre-holiday rush08:35
seb128hehe08:36
seb128pitti, fix uploaded, I untagged the bug but maybe I should wait for gtk to build for that?08:51
seb128pitti, though there are some boottest regression in the mir stack so it's not going to migrate now anyway08:51
pittiseb128: ah, untagging sounds fine08:52
seb128good08:52
pittiseb128: that's ok -- it doesn't need to migrate to allow reverse dependencies to build08:52
seb128yeah, it was rather the other way around08:52
seb128I didn't want the current gtk to migrate before the new one builds08:52

davidbarthi booted on a daily image with the touch greeter and after an upgrade i'm getting the desktop greeter15:35

seb128that mir doesn't support15:41
