flocculant | sarnold: odd - works ok in this main install , add-apt that is | 00:24 |
---|---|---|
flocculant | and printers works too] | 00:25 |
sarnold | flocculant: mdes laur recently did an openssl merge and I was curious if you tripped a regression, but when I went looking it worked fine.. hehe | 00:25 |
sarnold | flocculant: can you get it to fail somewhere predictably? it may or may not be a regression, but the fact that I couldn't reproduce it made me think it's transient error of some sort | 00:26 |
flocculant | not sure wth is going on - why would this all work on hardware with all manner of to'ings and fro'ings but not in vm | 00:27 |
flocculant | sarnold: yea yea - understood : | 00:27 |
flocculant | ) | 00:27 |
flocculant | on main here - setting vm to main | 00:28 |
flocculant | sarnold: same fail in vm | 00:29 |
flocculant | *shrug* | 00:29 |
robert_ancell | flocculant, I dropped the packagekit dependency for the PPA version - do you know what is pulling it in? | 00:30 |
flocculant | sarnold: unless it is yet again a vbox issue - in which case surely they are piling up now | 00:31 |
flocculant | robert_ancell: I'm now talking about the time it takes to repeat a command in terminal in vm against this hardware install | 00:32 |
flocculant | would your change be that quick? | 00:32 |
robert_ancell | flocculant, I dropped the dependency yesterday, so I'm wondering if your bug is against an older version | 00:33 |
flocculant | mmm | 00:33 |
robert_ancell | flocculant, I'm also currently updating dependencies in xenial so it will go directly in there. So then it might be worth purging the PPA and checking if you still have the issue. | 00:33 |
flocculant | robert_ancell: well I clean installed the vm, upgraded did the dist-upgrade it wanted, added the ppa then redid that and grabbed g-s, and while that was going - added ppa to this main install and did the same | 00:35 |
flocculant | installed on hardware fine - failed in vbox | 00:35 |
robert_ancell | flocculant, ok | 00:35 |
robert_ancell | weird | 00:35 |
flocculant | robert_ancell: happy enough to redo the vm stuff first tomorrow - see where it leaves me | 00:36 |
flocculant | also happy enough to blitz this install - but need a while longer :) | 00:36 |
flocculant | and yea - weird :) | 00:36 |
flocculant | if it's an 'old xenial' upgrading to 'newer' then happy enough to wander away from it obviosly :) | 00:40 |
sarnold | I don't know what other issue you're working on.. but uprades from 'old xenial' may do a good job replicating what users see when upgrading from wily.. | 00:41 |
flocculant | sarnold: well - I grabbed the g-s ppa really early - so ... | 00:41 |
flocculant | and frankly - if any of my testers said 'upgraded from old xenial' I'd say - re-install it | 00:43 |
flocculant | but I try and do what I can to play edge stories and see what goes on - this broke - though it was ppa | 00:43 |
flocculant | sarnold: actually - none of that actually matters now I think of it - add-apt failed twice in vm's - tomorrow morning I will do a clean install on hardware and see - without updating/grading the iso or install | 00:49 |
flocculant | I'll report on the bug if needed | 00:50 |
sarnold | flocculant: great, thanks! | 00:50 |
flocculant | sarnold: I just want to make sure when I can :) | 00:52 |
flocculant | just getting a bit lost in the logic of what I have - and trying to set up xubuntu for 2 milestones lol | 00:53 |
flocculant | too many vm's and h'ware installs :) | 00:54 |
sarnold | oof. i'm familiar with the problem. :) | 00:55 |
flocculant | :) | 00:59 |
flocculant | anyway - I'll try and pare it down and either invalid or 'dudesssss' it :) | 00:59 |

alexarnaud | Hi Ubuntu community ! | 08:56 |
duflu | Hi alexarnaud | 08:58 |
seb128 | hey alexarnaud | 09:01 |
seb128 | good morning Laney! | 09:01 |
Laney | MUHAHAHA | 09:03 |
seb128 | :-) | 09:03 |
Laney | what's up | 09:03 |
seb128 | just tried daily (which works!) and your ubiquity wk2, works as well! | 09:04 |
seb128 | and sky is blue | 09:04 |
seb128 | good start of day ;-) | 09:04 |
seb128 | you? | 09:04 |
Laney | I hear birds | 09:04 |
Laney | and some daffodils are starting to come out | 09:05 |

Laney | could be! | 09:05 |
andyrock | morning | 09:05 |
seb128 | weeeiird | 09:05 |
seb128 | hey andyrock | 09:06 |
seb128 | it's a season for snow :p | 09:06 |
Laney | been a crap winter for snow so far | 09:08 |
Laney | had about 1mm one time | 09:08 |
alexarnaud | hey seb128 Laney duflu andyrock ! | 09:08 |
alexarnaud | Laney: you are a geek poetry ^^ | 09:08 |
seb128 | yeah :-/ | 09:08 |
alexarnaud | :) | 09:08 |
seb128 | Laney, oh, and we got gnome-software binaries in universe ;-) | 09:09 |
Laney | indeed | 09:09 |
seb128 | without fwdupdate/gcab/packagekit | 09:09 |
seb128 | but still, a good first step ;-) | 09:09 |
Laney | did you try them? | 09:09 |
seb128 | no, I'm waiting for that install to be done, it's uninstalling packages | 09:10 |
seb128 | so almost there | 09:10 |
seb128 | that's my next-on-the-list ;-) | 09:10 |
pitti | seb128: ok, previous fires dealt with (for now) -- are they missing from the current langpacks? i. e. are my current logs/tarballs useful for debugging? | 09:17 |
seb128 | pitti, yes | 09:17 |
pitti | /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/eog.mo exists anyway | 09:17 |
pitti | grep fr.*eog logs/xenial.log → nothing | 09:19 |
seb128 | pitti, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15015106/ | 09:19 |
pitti | it's there for plenty of other langs, though | 09:19 |
seb128 | that's n-1 to current | 09:19 |

pitti | seb128: what do you mean with "n-1"? | 09:20 |
pitti | seb128: oh, nevermind | 09:20 |
seb128 | pitti, the -de one lost devhelp | 09:21 |
pitti | seb128: speaking of which, we should do a -base refresh | 09:21 |

seb128 | pitti, yeah, last time I looked (before the holidays) I couldn't find anything weird/buggy in the export | 09:34 |

pitti | and FOSS in general | 09:38 |
pitti | less of a thing for exchanging cat pictures indeed | 09:39 |
willcooke | ha! | 09:39 |
pitti | I see electronic boards and beer bottles a LOT, though :) | 09:39 |
seb128 | hope it stays one | 09:39 |
seb128 | I hate having the world forced into a single choice | 09:39 |
willcooke | ha, yes there are a lot of beer bottles. | 09:39 |
willcooke | Goes along with FOSS I expect ;) | 09:39 |
seb128 | Laney, gnome-software (sort-of) "works" | 09:41 |

=== s1aden is now known as sladen | ||
Laney | appstreamcli search . | 09:43 |
pitti | why do we seed ubuntu-sso-client-qt? I didn't see that Qt client for ages | 09:43 |
pitti | unseeding would apparently allow us to drop python-qt4 | 09:44 |
pitti | which is two obsolete APIs in one package :) | 09:44 |
seb128 | Laney, that list <things> | 09:44 |
Laney | iz gnome-software boog then | 09:44 |
Laney | sry | 09:44 |
pitti | is that just a leftover from rhythmbox music or so? | 09:44 |
seb128 | like search empathy or brasero works | 09:45 |
seb128 | pitti, software-center | 09:45 |
Laney | gnome-software --search robocode --verbose | 09:45 |
seb128 | it does the auth for reviews | 09:45 |
pitti | seb128: ok, but shouldn't software-center depend on it then, rather than seedin git? | 09:45 |
pitti | seb128: I just purged s-c to see how much that loses, was curious | 09:45 |
seb128 | I guess we should yes | 09:46 |
pitti | seb128: oh sorry, it already does | 09:46 |
pitti | ... depend on it, I mean | 09:46 |
seb128 | k | 09:46 |
seb128 | makes sense | 09:46 |
pitti | seb128: so is it ok if I unseed it? | 09:46 |
seb128 | afaik yes | 09:46 |
seb128 | maybe check with dobey | 09:46 |
seb128 | he might know of something else using that I don't have in mind | 09:46 |
pitti | it won't change the images/default install due to that dep anyway | 09:47 |
pitti | seb128: ack, will do | 09:47 |
seb128 | danke | 09:47 |
pitti | dobey: can you think of a reason to still keep ubuntu-sso-client-qt seeded? software-center directly depends on it, but I don't see anything else using it | 09:47 |
pitti | dobey: thus as soon as we unseed software-center, we could lose ubuntu-sso-client-qt and python-qt4 along with it | 09:47 |
pitti | dobey: i. e. this should be a dependency only, not a first-class seeded package | 09:48 |
pitti | desktop: * ubuntu-sso-client-qt # because software-center uses it for comments/purchases/oneconf, and there is no GTK+ edition | 09:48 |
pitti | looks like it's only for s-c, as per seed history | 09:49 |
seb128 | Laney, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15015186/ | 09:49 |
pitti | and as it's a dep -> I'll drop it for now (I'll put it back if dobey objects0 | 09:49 |
seb128 | pitti, +1 | 09:49 |
Laney | seb128: is that incomplete? | 09:50 |
Laney | it looks like it ends int he middle of a line | 09:50 |
Laney | anyway I see it too here | 09:50 |
seb128 | Laney, unsure why it truncated | 09:50 |
Laney | app invalid as no pixbuf | 09:52 |
Laney | this all worked before when we were at the sprint | 09:52 |
Laney | larsu can confirm!!!! | 09:52 |
seb128 | :-/ | 09:52 |
seb128 | rob updated g-s to 3.19 though | 09:52 |
Laney | guess that side broke things | 09:52 |
seb128 | so maybe a bug in the new version | 09:52 |
Laney | dunno why he didn't notice this though | 09:52 |
seb128 | yeah, or maybe he did | 09:53 |
seb128 | but he's getting things moving | 09:53 |

ricotz | Sweet5hark, happened to all ppa builds too :\ | 17:52 |
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD | ||
Laney | goodnight! | 18:06 |
Laney | off to the theatre | 18:06 |
chrisccoulson | ricotz, the current beta4 (it's a new tarball though, as it needs to embed the source revision) | 18:17 |
chrisccoulson | ricotz, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1233687 | 18:17 |
ubot5` | Mozilla bug 1233687 in Telemetry "[meta] Ubuntu Firefox builds don't send Telemetry" [Normal,New] | 18:17 |
ricotz | chrisccoulson, ah, I see | 18:21 |
willcooke | g'night all, off to Beavers | 18:21 |
ricotz | chrisccoulson, I assume you finished this within the next 11 hours (in time for beta 5)? | 18:22 |
chrisccoulson | ricotz, fingers crossed | 18:24 |
ricotz | chrisccoulson, hmm, ok | 18:30 |
bschaefer | hello, was wondering if anyone could give this package some love :) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/capnproto/0.5.3-2ubuntu1 | 20:51 |
TheMuso | duflu: I do/did. Haven't really played in a while for various reasons, although looking to get back into it. | 21:09 |
robert_ancell | bschaefer, what's the issue? | 21:20 |
bschaefer | robert_ancell, mainly just would like the 0.5.3 in xenial rather then proposed to get proper cmake/pkg packaging changes | 21:22 |
robert_ancell | bschaefer, according to http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html it should have migrated - I don't know what's holding it back | 21:22 |
bschaefer | robert_ancell, bregma pointed out a rdepends on unity-scopes-api but it looks like it should just need a rebuild | 21:22 |
bschaefer | but yeah other then that... it seemed to pass everything, but seems like a low priority | 21:23 |
robert_ancell | bschaefer, then I'd expect the excuses page to give that as a reason :/ | 21:23 |
bschaefer | true, not really sure whats holding it back :( | 21:23 |
bschaefer | figured maybe someone in desktop would know | 21:24 |
robert_ancell | that's the end of my knowledge in -proposed migration. Perhaps RAOF might know | 21:24 |
bschaefer | o cool, ill be sure to poke him when he gets on | 21:24 |
bschaefer | thanks! | 21:24 |
dobey | bschaefer: it's been a painful migration | 21:27 |
dobey | bschaefer: new capnproto caused unity-scopes-api to break, and new jsoncpp caused unity-scopes-api and some other packages to break | 21:28 |
bschaefer | aww dang :( | 21:28 |
bschaefer | was worried about that | 21:28 |
dobey | well, that's what happens with abi breaks :) | 21:28 |
bschaefer | its not a requirement, just makes things simpler :) | 21:28 |
bschaefer | yup! | 21:28 |
dobey | bschaefer: anyway, the necessary rdepends should be uploaded to proposed now, so should just be a matter of time for launchpad and autopkgtests to catch up and let things through | 21:29 |
dobey | (i've been dealing with that the past few days) | 21:30 |
bschaefer | o thats good to hear. Thanks for the information and battling with the ABI break :) | 21:30 |
dobey | (well, me and a couple others on my team, i can't take all the credit :) | 21:31 |
bschaefer | :) | 21:32 |
bregma | robert_ancell, I'm looking at changing the name of the lightdm session for Unity 8 (removing the -mir, because it's Mir all the way down now) but when I do, stuff stops working... it seems the session name is always derived from the name of the session file instead of the user-session string inside the session file | 21:40 |
bregma | robert_ancell, would you suggest any simple way around that? | 21:40 |
* bregma find the above description confusing and apologizes in advance | 21:41 | |
robert_ancell | bregma, yeah, not sure exactly what you're getting at there. What is the "session name" exactly? $XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP? $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP? | 21:42 |
robert_ancell | bregma, in short, you can rename the session file to anything you like, though you will break existing logins as they will use the old name | 21:43 |
bregma | robert_ancell, $DESKTOP_SESSION | 21:43 |
robert_ancell | bregma, right, nothing *should* be using that anymore | 21:43 |
bregma | well, it's used by the Unity 8 upstart job to only start Unity 8 when it's a Unity 8 session | 21:45 |
bregma | is there a better way? | 21:45 |
robert_ancell | bregma, you should set DesktopNames in the .desktop file to have any keys you might want | 21:46 |
robert_ancell | So you'd probably do DesktopNames=Unity;Unity8 | 21:46 |
robert_ancell | So existing stuff that checked for Unity would still work and new stuff could check for Unity8 | 21:46 |
robert_ancell | That gets exposed as (the confusingly named) $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP | 21:47 |
robert_ancell | caveat, I bet there's a bunch of software that doesn't correctly check it as a list instead doing basically strcmp (getenv ("XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP"), "Unity") == 0 | 21:48 |
bregma | robert_ancell, all that matters here really is the upstart job to start the desktop session, so it's worth playing with, thanks | 21:48 |
robert_ancell | ximion, do you know where the appstream code is that set the origin of an app, e.g. "xenial-main" | 22:08 |
robert_ancell | ? | 22:08 |
robert_ancell | ximion, because I've found the issue that the apps say they're third party - we need a plugin to mark them as not (Debian will need one too) | 22:09 |
ximion | robert_ancell: which kind of origin do you mean exactly? The AppStream metadata origin, or the candidate origin (= repository in case of distro packages)? | 22:10 |
robert_ancell | ximion, appstream metadata origin | 22:10 |
robert_ancell | which is used as the origin for the GsApp and is what is used by the Fedora plugin to determine if they came from Fedora | 22:10 |
ximion | robert_ancell: did you discuss that with hughsie? That sounds a bit short-sighted to me... | 22:10 |
ximion | ah, if the Fedora plugin does it, we must do the same, since it appears to be the preferred way then... | 22:11 |
ximion | and yes, I would like to have that plugin in Debian too, maybe we could even add it upstream | 22:11 |
ximion | I just know the origin stuff for libappstream | 22:12 |
* ximion check appstream-glib | 22:12 | |
ximion | but I think checking AppStream data will be insufficient, since AppStream metadata can come from anywhere, including 3rd-party sources | 22:12 |
ximion | I think what you really want is to check for the PackageKit repository software originates from... | 22:13 |
ximion | in a package-id, that is the last part of the pkg;version;arch;data triplet (data == repository, unless installed, then it's an "installed" string) | 22:14 |
ximion | in GS, you should receive an origin of the software component via the gs_app_get_source_id_default () call, btw | 22:14 |
ximion | robert_ancell: ^ | 22:15 |
robert_ancell | ximion, yeah, the packagekit plugin also seems to set origin | 22:15 |
ximion | AppStream doesn't know or care about where the software it provides metadata for comes from - but tools like PackageKit, XdgApp and Limba do have that knowledge | 22:16 |
ximion | hah! The GS code just gave me an idea how I could improve the PK aptcc backend :-) | 22:18 |
ximion | robert_ancell: I don't like that this code is in a distro-specific plugin - maybe we can convince hughsie to make this a config file which distributors can ship? | 22:25 |
robert_ancell | ximion, I guess it depends if we can simply define what consitutes a supported package. | 22:26 |
ximion | robert_ancell: supported package == anything in the distributors official repositories | 22:26 |
ximion | 3rd-party: anything else | 22:27 |
robert_ancell | ximion, it seems like a maintainence issue to keep updating the whitelist of supported things | 22:28 |
ximion | robert_ancell: if we would do things right, PackageKit would provide that information, and either have it in its backend, or query APT for it | 22:30 |
ximion | ideally, a client tool like GS shouldn't contain any distribution-specific stuff, and hardcoded lists are especially evil | 22:33 |
robert_ancell | yes | 22:33 |
