Steve_Jo1there is a error reported dialog after reboot but I'm not sure which error log to start in04:41
Steve_Jo1I followed the instructions on the linux wacom project site04:41

Laneyseb128: I'll post you some cheese if you want08:57
seb128darkxst, likely because nothing was depending it/pulling it in main08:57

seb128Laney, did you guys work all night?!08:58
darkxstseb128, build-deps don't count there?08:58
seb128they do08:58
seb128yeah, it's showing on http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.html08:59
seb128[Reverse-Build-Depends: d-conf (MAIN)]08:59
seb128maybe that was not the case when it got demoted?08:59
Laneyor an error when the new source got newed09:00
Laneyseb128: until like 12:30 or 109:00
Laneythen we went for falafel09:00
darkxstseb128, there are more than just d-conf, g-c-c and u-c-c for example09:01
seb128well, dunno then, as Laney said, maybe when it was NEWed if it comes from a different source09:01
seb128does it matter much how it ended up being in universe?09:02
darkxstno, just needs to be promoted again09:02
seb128it feels like arguing for the sake of arguing09:02
seb128yeah, it's on component mismatch, it's going to be promoted09:02

Laney2016 is our year09:34
larsue're having a blast here becasue of that change09:34

larsuthere's no escaping the blame for this09:35
seb128that also I deny responsability for :p09:35
larsuit's because he has a low res screen and x8609:35
larsudoesn't need big icons09:35
Laneygo fight for i386 on devel instead09:35
Laneyit needs you09:35
seb128I've svg09:35
seb128why would I need 256 pixmaps09:35
seb128?09:35
larsusoftware center wants them09:36
seb128does it?09:36
larsuand the icon is blurry in my dash09:36
seb128or you mean gnome-software? ;-)09:36
larsuyes, it wants 64 and (optionally) 2509:36
seb128iz GTK bog09:36
larsu*25609:36
seb128ah09:36
seb12864 is what is missing then :-)09:36
larsuseb128: gnome-software implements the app stream spec which  mandates it09:36
larsuseb128: well, no.09:36
seb128yeah for another crappy spec!09:36
larsumaking people have better icons is good09:38
larsusame for descriptions and screenshots09:38
seb128forcing people to have a stack of big bitmaps on their disk is not especially good09:38
seb128you can have good svg icons09:38
seb128it should be the choice of the appdev to provide a bitmap or a svg as their convinience09:39
larsuyeah I think we should only ship 8x8 then09:39
larsudon09:39
larsudon't have that much disk space09:39
larsuit's expensive these days09:39

larsu:P09:39
seb128dude09:39
larsualso, think of all the bandwidth!09:39
seb128don't tell me that a svg can't look good at 256x25609:39
Laneyyou don't have an svg for the font viewer09:39
seb128well, you could09:39
Laneyyou have a symbolic icon svg09:39
Laneyyes09:40
seb128it' stupid that spec forbid you to use a svg if you would prefer so09:40
seb128or rather that it forces you to provide a 256 pixmap09:40
seb128oh well09:40
larsuseb128: it doesn't. You can have svg if you want09:40
larsuit's just that adwaita chooses not to09:40
seb128yeah, but it mandates to have a pixmap as well09:40
seb128according to what you said before09:40
Laneyo09:41
Laneyno09:41
Laneyyou need to have something which is at least 6409:41
Laneyif that's a scaled svg that is ok09:41
seb128k09:41
seb128all good then :-)09:41
larsu:)09:41
seb128larsu, and I know that disk space is not an issue for most people, but you add 15M there and there and end up having a09:43
seb1283G iso instead of a 1G one09:43
seb128and it has a cost, even if you find that being funny ;-)09:43
seb128more mirror, bandwith, datas to copy (= slower install)09:44
seb128not saying we shouldn't add those icons back09:45
seb128but the change was not that crazy09:45
larsuyeah fair enough09:48
seb128sorry for the argument :-)09:48
seb128is that change also going to fix my sound panel having a low res icon? ;-)09:49
larsuit does?09:49
larsuno, this change is for adwaita09:49
seb128k09:49
seb128yes09:49
seb128if you open u-c-c -> sound and alt-tab you should see that the icon is low res09:49
larsuwe noticed it when running the app stream generator for which I fixed the icon loading last night09:49

larsuseb128: you're right09:50
* seb128 hugs pitti back09:50
larsuugh, ugly09:50
pittiwe already have an 1.5 GB image, this just grows unbounded09:50
pittieven though we didn't really add anything significant on the desktop in several cycles -- in xenial we even disabled some stuff09:50
Trevinhoseb128: yes thanks, all good... I'm sorry I didn't say you but on Friday :-(09:50

larsuI'd be fine if theme authors only include svg at those sizes09:51
pittiubuntukylin-desktop, ubuntu-mate-core09:51
pittilarsu: yes09:51
larsuhm, k09:51
larsumaybe we should ask them to fix it09:51
larsubut I'm not fine with blurry icons09:51
pittiwhy would svg be blurry?09:51
larsuand apparently seb128 isn't either ;)09:51
pittiisn't the whole point of svg to always look good at any scale?09:52
seb128Trevinho, no worry, we see each other again in not so long09:52
Trevinho;-)09:52
larsupitti: sorry, that came out wrong. They don't install svg right now, but 256x256 pngs. Out "fix" is to just drop those, which makes icons blurry09:52
larsupitti: real fix: make them include svg for those sizes09:52
pittiack09:52
seb128I wonder if they didn't have .svg back then when we did the change09:53
larsus/out/our, of course09:53
pittior maybe nautilus should just stop having icons a quarter the size of my screen again09:53
larsuseb128: dunno. Source has been svg for a long time, but back then rendering times might have been unacceptable09:53
larsupitti: haha, this is about gnome-software, the dash, alt-tab, etc09:54
seb128pitti, yeah, we plan on reverting nautilus for the LTS09:54
larsuREVERT ALL ZE THINGS09:54
seb128but different issue09:54
seb128:-/09:54
pittihm, it would be great if we could only ship the svgs, and they would then be rendered and cached for your DPI/chosen icon size09:54
larsuwe can't do that for smaller sizes, as they're sometimes tweaked09:56
seb128larsu, Laney, the icon is provided by the server? if that's an Ubuntu server we should probably run the collector using our theme rather than adwaita no?09:57
larsuseb128: of course. Humanity doesn't include preferences-desktop-font and we fall back to Adwaita10:00
larsuthis is how we noticed10:00
seb128k10:01
alexarnaudseb128: I don't understand exactly why but if I restart from scratch everything compile10:16
seb128alexarnaud, why wouldn't it compile?10:16
alexarnaudseb128: I don't know exactly, maybe something wrong in copy from VBox shared folder10:17
alexarnaudI need to investigate to understand10:17

seb128or is that a robert_ancell question13:41

hikikocould you approve it?14:36
seb128tedg, mterry, do you know what code positions the indicator menus in unity-greeter?14:36
hikiko(the google-chrome-unstable addition)14:36
tedgseb128: We specify the position in the indicator ini file, is that useful?14:37
tedgseb128: Or do you need the code itself?14:37
seb128tedg, no, I mean the popdown menu on screen14:38
seb128not the indicators order14:38
seb128tedg, if we enable hi-dpi scaling the menus are opened shifted from the indicators position14:38
tedgOh, I see.14:38
seb128but I can't figure out what set the position14:39
tedgI thought we were using GTK for that, because it has all that placement code.14:39
tedgBut I haven't looked for a long time.14:39
seb128it's possible, but then for some reason it doesn't work :-/14:40
tedgYeah, I imagine that GTK has new API for more information that we're not using.14:40
tedgWhen they added HiDPI support.14:40
seb128who is "we" in that case14:41
seb128I don't find much gtk_menu code in unity-greeter14:41
seb128and the indicators work in an unity session so I assume they are fine14:41
tedgI think it's probably libindicator14:41
seb128or unity is doing something...14:41
tedgI imagine the greeter never ditched that.14:42
seb128to replace it with what?14:42
tedgOh, oh, larsu's name is on code here. It must be all his fault :-)14:43
seb128lol14:43
tedgseb128: I think that the main unity started going directly to the models instead of using the lib.14:43
tedgWhich makes sense.14:43
* larsu hides under the conference table14:44
seb128ok, I give up for now14:44
seb128I just can't find it14:44
seb128thanks tedg14:44
tedgWe had always said we wanted to deprecate libindicator, it just never really got pushed to the final state.14:45
seb128well, I doubt it's going to be a priority for this cycle14:45
seb128but I don't see any code in libindicator that set the x,y for the menu popdown14:45
tedgseb128: Perhaps that's the issue ;-)14:46
tedgI think it's the gtk_menu in indicator-ng.c that is being used.14:46
seb128tedg, thanks14:47
seb128going for some exercice before our weekly meeting but I'm going to have another look once I'm back14:47
larsuseb128: enjoy!14:48
seb128larsu, thanks ;-)14:48
tedgnp, I think the widget actually gets passed up. So it'd have to be the caller that was setting the position.14:49
seb128that seems complex14:49
seb128how is it positioned atm?14:49
tedgI believe there was a gtk function that positions a menu based on another widget.14:50
seb128looks like whatever does it should know about the scaling factor and take into account to position14:50
larsuya, probably that doesn't account for hidpi14:50
larsubut simply passes pixels14:50
seb128tedg, gtk_widget_translate_coordinates?14:50
seb128larsu, "that"?14:51
tedgI think we were using gtk_menu_popup()14:51
seb128tedg, no such function in the libindicator source14:51
larsuseb128: the menu positioning function14:51
tedgYes, I think the caller had to call that on the menu passed up from libindicator14:51
seb128nor in unity-greeter14:51
larsuit's in unity-panel-service, not libindicator14:52
tedgHmm...14:52
seb128larsu, we are speaking about unity-greeter, does that use ups?14:52
seb128I don't think it does14:52
larsuoops14:52
* larsu is silent and continues fixing bugs for Laney 14:52
seb128menus are well positioned in unity ;-)14:52
LaneySILENCIO14:53
seb128k, really need to go if I want to be back for the meeting14:53
tedgseb128: It looks like in menubar.vala it is creating an IndicatorMenuItem which subclasses Gtk.MenuItem. Then it sets the indicator menu as a submenu of the widget on the panel. So I think it is the GTK code for opening submenus that is positioning the menu.14:58

desrthi!  just back from fosdem/hackfest15:36
desrtthe hackfest was not the _most_ productive one that i've had (due to an uncharacteristic bout of intense jetlag) but i managed to get some reviewing and small patches done, along with discussing crack ideas15:37
desrtin particular, i got a chance to sync up with alex on dconf containersation issues (he is driving the effort to make gnome apps container-friendly)15:37
desrtworking now on finishing up some patches to fundamentally change how we do type utility macros in gobject -- g_typeof()...15:38
desrtafter that, i'm back to the gsettingsbackend work... it seems that really a lot of people are suddenly interested in this (for about three separate reasons)15:38
desrtfinally: i'm on CEST this week and next15:38

tkamppeter- Phone: Checked and discussed how to submit the printing work. Waiting for willcooke and product management about dicesion.15:51
tkamppeter- LSB: Looked into Debian's dropping of the set of LSB meta packages to allow running LSB (distribution-independent) binary packages on Debian and Ubuntu, leading to OpenPrinting printer driver packages not working any more, bug 1536353, re-introduction probably best and easiest solution.15:51
tkamppeter- Foomatic: Thoughts about Foomatic's future. Gutenprint will remove their Foomatic/IJS driver flavor, removing the main scalability issue, will add Google Summer of Code project idea to create a way to generate a CUPS *.drv (PPD generator) file from the Foomatic data.15:51

willcookeSo we had a bit of a Gnome Software meeting yesterday to check on the status of the components15:54
willcookeit's looking close, but things are moving15:54
willcookebut, seb128 you have some concerns about others things which depend on pk1.015:55
seb128well, it just that nobody seems to really own that landing15:55
seb128and I'm unsure how much testing we got from the different pieces15:56
seb128like if removing aptdaemon is going to be smooth and work15:56
seb128or if we are going to notice that britney hits n regressions and things get stucked until somebody fix language-selector or some kde app15:57
willcookeis a sensible next step to send an email to the desktop mailing list?15:57
seb128I'm not sure it's going to help15:58
seb128we need somebody to own that landing, who go ahead with the update and file the aptdaemon removal and deals with britney issues and bugs15:58
willcookewho can deal with that?  volunteers please15:59
willcookeseb128, would Robert be a suitable person?16:00
seb128if we wants to do it16:00
seb128he set up a ppa and did part of the job but he seems busy dealing with actual coding on g-s16:01
seb128anyway I guess there is no point blocking the meeting on that16:01
willcookealright, I wil speak to Robert and let you know16:02
seb128thanks16:02
willcookealright, next week then please everyone come with a list of the features you want to land in to 16.04 and the current status16:03
willcookeI will send out an email to remind you all next Monday16:03

Laneyoh yeah16:06
larsuI, for example, met Laney16:06
Laneybut we should all demand that companies don't claim copyright on our code done in work time16:06
Laneythat is one thing I learned at fosdem16:06

seb128thanks everyone16:07
attenteok, thanks16:07
larsuthanks16:08
seb128willcooke, do we have a list of the features we had planned for the cycle somewhere? we have the blueprint from the sprint but I don't think it's complete?16:08
willcookeseb128, let me check the BP, it should be up to date16:09
seb128willcooke, well, that blueprint doesn't have gnome-software mentioned for example16:10
seb128nor updating libreoffice to 5.116:11
willcookeThat's (supposed to be) covered by [robert-ancell] Software Centre (moving up the list as we will have some required actions from BUD): TODO16:11
Trevinhoseb128: what do you think about doing https://code.launchpad.net/~jplacerda/zeitgeist/vacuum ? I think it would really help with unity-files-lens slowdowns....16:11
seb128Trevinho, what is "vacuum" doing?16:11
Trevinhoseb128: cleaning up the DB, compressing stuff...16:12
seb128Trevinho, how long does that take?16:12
Trevinhoseb128: https://sqlite.org/lang_vacuum.html16:12
seb128unsure if every time is best, but why not16:12
Trevinhoseb128: I didn't try that on mine....16:12
seb128there is an auto-vacuum16:13
seb128maybe the daemon should do that16:13
Trevinhoyeah, in fact having that enabled would be the best16:13
seb128rather than having us to explicitly do it?16:13
TrevinhoI would like to enable that, yeah...16:16
TrevinhoAs for timing, a couple of seconds in my 100mb activity.sqlite file16:16
seb128cool16:17
Trevinhoseb128: however.... See that doc, autovacuum and vacuum commands are different...16:19
Trevinho«Auto-vacuum does not defragment the database nor repack individual database pages the way that the VACUUM command does»16:20
Trevinho« In fact, because it moves pages around within the file, auto-vacuum can actually make fragmentation worse.»16:21
TrevinhoSo... Maybe having somehting like a "cron job", no idea whether timed events have ever landed to upstart.16:23
seb128that seems a bit hackish16:23
seb128maybe doing it on every start is fine16:23
TrevinhoYeah, but maybe with some sleep to ensure it happens on "idle"?16:24
ogra_have a look at /etc/init.d/ondemand ;)16:24
ogra_it does such stuff16:24
shookeesHello, I have a question regarding ssh tunneling17:01
seb128attente, hey, would you be interested by looking at bug #1434094?17:01
ubot5`bug 1434094 in unity-greeter (Ubuntu) "indicator menus are misplaced when the display scaler is used" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/143409417:01
shookeesoops, sorry, wrong channel17:01
seb128shookees, hey, you are not on the right channel, ssh and tunnels are not really desktopish17:01
seb128no worry!17:01
seb128tedg, I'm still unsure to understand your suggestion of what needs to happen there, what is currently doing the menu popup? seems to not be in libindicator nor the greeter code...17:06
tedgseb128: I think that it is GTK itself. We're telling GTK that it's a menu, and the indicator is a submenu of that one.17:06
tedgseb128: So I think the "place submenu" code in GTK is what is being called.17:07
seb128but why would that be wrong in the greeter, it works on other environments17:07
tedgI don't think that's how unity-panel-service does things. It renders the icons itself, and then uses GTK to show the menu with custom placement.17:08
tedgI'm unsure why the GTK code would be wrong, I'd expect it to work as it does in apps, but I think that's where the placement code *is*.17:09
seb128right, that was my points17:09
seb128applications just use gtk and have menubars17:09
seb128and that works17:09
seb128I guess it needs debugging then17:09
seb128tedg, thanks17:09
seb128I'm going to see if attente wants to have a look17:10
seb128he's hacking on gtk and menu placement for a while so would probably be a good fit for him17:10
* tedg says sorry to attente, I didn't know17:10
tedg:-)17:10
seb128heh17:11
seb128didrocks, sorry, I didn't have time to look again at that n-m issue, did you try to install dbgsym packages to see if the bt is better than the retracing? the current bt is a bit confusing17:12
seb128cyphermox, you don't have an idea about bug #1540153 by any chance? (didrocks hits it on xenial when trying to use the citizenM wifi)17:13
ubot5`Error: Launchpad bug 1540153 could not be found17:13
cyphermoxis didrocks really upgrading network-manager libnm-util2 libnm-glib4 gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 ?17:15
cyphermoxas you pointed out that commit sounds like it should fix things. it's the first time I hear about this17:15
cyphermoxoh, wait a second17:17
seb128cyphermox, didrocks, hum, the rh bug has an user who still had an issue but different (hitting an assert then) and http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?h=nm-1-0&id=e0e043ef3918de54f8d19a3af07d3367962970e5 resolved it17:17

seb128attente, thanks18:07
andyrockseb128: do you know if app-install-data pkg is going to be used once g-s transition is done?18:14
seb128andyrock, unsure, that's a question for Laney rather, I would guess that no18:22
attenteseb128, tedg, what exactly is the bug there? the menus seem to be positioned properly for me in unity-greeter @2x18:22
seb128attente, do you have a dual screen?18:22
andyrockmmm ok... wondering if there is something similar for gnome-software18:22
seb128andyrock, the server Laney is working on? unsure about a local db18:23
attenteseb128: yes18:23
seb128attente, try with only one, for some reason it seems to work on dual screens18:23
attenteok18:23
seb128I though it stopped happening earlier until I closed my laptop lid18:24
seb128and it started doing it again once I was on external display only18:24
seb128attente, btw unsure how you test it but I did a mv unity-greeter unity-greeter.real and made unity-greeter a sh script that does export GDK_SCALE=2 and then start unity-greeter.real18:25
seb128that makes easy to test even on lowdpi config18:25
attenteseb128: yeah, i can reproduce it on just one screen now, thanks18:26

didrocksfew commits after18:44
didrocksyeah, will do (tonight)18:44

rickspencer3hi all21:38
rickspencer3someone mentions that only us old guys use xchat-gnome these days and that there is some newer one that I should use21:38
rickspencer3I'm setting up a new laptop, thought I would start with the good one21:38
rickspencer3anyone know?21:38
* pitti mumbles "weechat" :)21:42
mdeslaurrickspencer3: there's hexchat, but that's gtk221:42
* mdeslaur uses xchat-gnome21:42
rickspencer3hey mdeslaur21:44
rickspencer3hmmm21:44
rickspencer3maybe it was hexchat21:44
rickspencer3weechat?21:45
pittirickspencer3: it's curses, not graphical; I find it awesome (particualrly the vertical splits), but you might find it a bit arcane21:46
pittirickspencer3: http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/photos/pitti-virtual-desktop.png is from like 2006, but this is still by and large my layout21:46
rickspencer3"arcane" does not sound like a strong recommendation ;)21:46
* rickspencer3 looks21:46
pittirickspencer3: heh, and look who I was talking to at that time :)21:46
rickspencer3wow21:47
mdeslaurso many awful clients to choose from, which one to pick?21:47
rickspencer3that is old school :)21:47
rickspencer3mdeslaur, dang it, don't try to get me to write an irc client21:47
pittirickspencer3: I haven't yet found another client with the same efficiency..21:47
pittiit's dense, with horizontal splits I can follow three things, and the keyboard commands are awesome21:48
rickspencer3hmmm21:48
pittilike Ctrl+G iterates through the channels in descending order21:48
rickspencer3looks like a bit of learning curve21:48
pittifirst through the ones you got pinged on, then through the ones that have new messages, and finally back to where you came from21:48
pittirickspencer3: yeah, it surely is if you never used irssi and friends21:48
rickspencer3pitti, so, speaking of the "good old days" ...21:49
rickspencer3I bought a new computer today, just a random desktop21:49
rickspencer3and am running Xenial21:49
rickspencer3I am getting random screen freezes21:49
rickspencer3it's like Jaunty all over again!21:49
pittiugh, I didn't get one in the last years (literally)21:49
rickspencer3well, I am on the tip of development on a brand new computer that it not certified in any way21:50
