meercatthere is a bug in the ubuntu 15.10 installation process that prevents uefi boots on some systems and in virtualbox, the fix applied does not work on all systems.  for now, the workaround is to install xubuntu and then install unity.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/efibootmgr/+bug/136371901:48

lpotterhmm.. I take it grayback is on holiday07:38
lpotterot just not here at the moment...07:39
Saviqlpotter, yeah, he's out until next week, can I help?09:19
Saviqmzanetti, bug #1532974, rings a bell?09:19
ubot5bug 1532974 in qtmir (Ubuntu) "large window flicker on ubuntu apps launching in window mode" [Critical,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/153297409:19
lpotterjust wanted to chat about his change to qtubuntu-sensors. :) no biggy09:20
mzanettilpotter, grayback will show up in approx an hour...09:21
mzanettiSaviq, hmm, not really09:21
mzanettilpotter, oh sorry. I saw saviq told he's on hols for real09:21
mzanettididn't know :D09:22
lpotterI have a couple patches for that package, but I need to talk to someone about that. maybe tvoss might be better09:22
lpotterbecause it has "issues" :)09:22
lpotter(not his patch but sensors handling)09:23
mzanettiheh, well, I guess you can just propose an MP with the fixes09:23
lpottersure. but one issue I haven't looked at, as it would be a bigger thing to deal with09:24
* Saviq flashes flo09:28
lpotterthought I had a bug that it...09:28
Saviqmzanetti, some success: https://unity8-jenkins.ubuntu.com/view/Build/job/build-2-binpkg/09:32
mzanettisaviq nice!09:33
SaviqI just realized, though, that cross-building will give us trouble for qmake projects and such, so might need a armhf node after all09:34
mzanettihmm... qmake cross compiling should work fine nowadays09:34
Saviqoh well, yeah, but there's no project that actually implements it in their packaging09:34
Saviqbecause it's some manual labour09:35
Saviqlike generating debian/control to include the cross qmake09:35
mzanettiwell, I anyways think proper armhf nodes would be beneficial09:35
lpotterI tried xcompiling qt with sbuild last week, and it failed.09:36
lpotterand I cried09:38
Saviqyeah, it should be doable these days, but it's not convenient yet09:38
lpotterwell. qt itself is a special case and no doubt trickier than your average qt app09:41

dandraderSaviq, did you also have https://code.launchpad.net/~dandrader/qtubuntu/offscreenSurface-lp1527737/+merge/281638 installed?11:24
dandraderSaviq, (talking about https://code.launchpad.net/~dandrader/qtmir/appRestart-lp1527737/+merge/281701/comments/716413  )11:24
Saviqdandrader, no11:25
Saviqdid I miss a prereq?11:26
dandraderSaviq, it's stated in the MP checklist11:26
dandraderSaviq, offscreenSurface-lp1527737 removes noise from a closing application11:27
dandraderSaviq, without it an application will create a new mir surface when shutting down11:27
dandraderSaviq, just so that Qt does some internal GL context clean up it seems11:27
dandraderSaviq, will try that use case some more to try to get that crash, then remove the offscreenSurface-lp152773 patch and try it again. who knows, maybe I'm lucky :)11:29
Saviqdandrader, if crash is indeed the problem, you can just kill -SIGABRT something11:30
Saviqdandrader, the prereq says "not strictly required", so maybe it is, after all11:30
Saviqdandrader, in any case, the closing surface should not cause me being unable to start an app, shouldn't it?11:31
Saviqdandrader, the log said "rejecting because there is one queued to start already"11:31
Saviqor some such11:31
dandraderSaviq, let me reproduce that situation before saying anything else.....11:31
Saviqdandrader, yeah, sorry we have no better steps, but it happened to me straight away when I tried those steps from trello11:32
Saviqand he had it with both camera and settings, so unlikely to be content-hub-related11:32
dandraderSaviq, when launching settings straight from the dash!?11:34
Saviqdandrader, I'd assume so, rvr ↑?11:35
rvrSaviq: ?11:37
Saviqrvr, when you had settings in a "can't launch" state yesterday with broken silo 3011:37
Saviqrvr, do you remember how did you start them before?11:38
rvrSaviq: Ah, yes, directly from the Dash11:38
Saviqdandrader, ↑11:38
rvrBut I also opened it from the indicators11:38

Saviqwhich is blocked by unity-scope-click's flaky tests :*14:18
mterrytsdgeos, ah that must have been it -- I didn't run make so CardCreator.js never got copied.  Didn't know about that14:19

tsdgeosSaviq: will you give us a quick lesson on how to read those boxes in Austin?16:08
Saviqtsdgeos, sure16:08
Saviqtsdgeos, IIUC not really, it's more geared towards embedded16:08
