flocculantsarnold: odd - works ok in this main install , add-apt that is00:24
flocculantand printers works too]00:25
sarnoldflocculant: mdes laur recently did an openssl merge and I was curious if you tripped a regression, but when I went looking it worked fine.. hehe00:25
sarnoldflocculant: 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 sort00:26
flocculantnot sure wth is going on - why would this all work on hardware with all manner of to'ings and fro'ings but not in vm00:27
flocculantsarnold: yea yea - understood :00:27
flocculant)00:27
flocculanton main here - setting vm to main00:28
flocculantsarnold: same fail in vm00:29
flocculant*shrug*00:29
robert_ancellflocculant, I dropped the packagekit dependency for the PPA version - do you know what is pulling it in?00:30
flocculantsarnold: unless it is yet again a vbox issue - in which case surely they are piling up now00:31
flocculantrobert_ancell: I'm now talking about the time it takes to repeat a command in terminal in vm against this hardware install00:32
flocculantwould your change be that quick?00:32
robert_ancellflocculant, I dropped the dependency yesterday, so I'm wondering if your bug is against an older version00:33
flocculantmmm00:33
robert_ancellflocculant, 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
flocculantrobert_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 same00:35
flocculantinstalled on hardware fine - failed in vbox00:35
robert_ancellflocculant, ok00:35
robert_ancellweird00:35
flocculantrobert_ancell: happy enough to redo the vm stuff first tomorrow - see where it leaves me00:36
flocculantalso happy enough to blitz this install - but need a while longer :)00:36
flocculantand yea - weird :)00:36
flocculantif it's an 'old xenial' upgrading to 'newer' then happy enough to wander away from it obviosly :)00:40
sarnoldI 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
flocculantsarnold: well - I grabbed the g-s ppa really early - so ...00:41
flocculantand frankly - if any of my testers said 'upgraded from old xenial' I'd say - re-install it00:43
flocculantbut I try and do what I can to play edge stories and see what goes on - this broke - though it was ppa00:43
flocculantsarnold: 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 install00:49
flocculantI'll report on the bug if needed00:50
sarnoldflocculant: great, thanks!00:50
flocculantsarnold: I just want to make sure when I can :)00:52
flocculantjust getting a bit lost in the logic of what I have - and trying to set up xubuntu for 2 milestones lol00:53
flocculanttoo many vm's and h'ware installs :)00:54
sarnoldoof. i'm familiar with the problem. :)00:55
flocculant:)00:59
flocculantanyway - I'll try and pare it down and either invalid or 'dudesssss' it :)00:59

Laneygnome-software --search robocode --verbose09:45
seb128it does the auth for reviews09:45
pittiseb128: ok, but shouldn't software-center depend on it then, rather than seedin git?09:45
pittiseb128: I just purged s-c to see how much that loses, was curious09:45
seb128I guess we should yes09:46
pittiseb128: oh sorry, it already does09:46
pitti... depend on it, I mean09:46
seb128k09:46
seb128makes sense09:46
pittiseb128: so is it ok if I unseed it?09:46
seb128afaik yes09:46
seb128maybe check with dobey09:46
seb128he might know of something else using that I don't have in mind09:46
pittiit won't change the images/default install due to that dep anyway09:47
pittiseb128: ack, will do09:47
seb128danke09:47
pittidobey: 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 it09:47
pittidobey: thus as soon as we unseed software-center, we could lose ubuntu-sso-client-qt and python-qt4 along with it09:47
pittidobey: i. e. this should be a dependency only, not a first-class seeded package09:48
pittidesktop: * ubuntu-sso-client-qt # because software-center uses it for comments/purchases/oneconf, and there is no GTK+ edition09:48
pittilooks like it's only for s-c, as per seed history09:49
seb128Laney, http://paste.ubuntu.com/15015186/09:49

bschaeferhello, was wondering if anyone could give this package some love :) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/capnproto/0.5.3-2ubuntu120:51
TheMusoduflu: I do/did. Haven't really played in a while for various reasons, although looking to get back into it.21:09
robert_ancellbschaefer, what's the issue?21:20
bschaeferrobert_ancell, mainly just would like the 0.5.3 in xenial rather then proposed to get proper cmake/pkg packaging changes21:22
robert_ancellbschaefer, 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 back21:22
bschaeferrobert_ancell, bregma pointed out a rdepends on unity-scopes-api but it looks like it should just need a rebuild21:22
bschaeferbut yeah other then that... it seemed to pass everything, but seems like a low priority21:23
robert_ancellbschaefer, then I'd expect the excuses page to give that as a reason :/21:23
bschaefertrue, not really sure whats holding it back :(21:23
bschaeferfigured maybe someone in desktop would know21:24
robert_ancellthat's the end of my knowledge in -proposed migration. Perhaps RAOF might know21:24
bschaefero cool, ill be sure to poke him when he gets on21:24
bschaeferthanks!21:24
dobeybschaefer: it's been a painful migration21:27
dobeybschaefer: new capnproto caused unity-scopes-api to break, and new jsoncpp caused unity-scopes-api and some other packages to break21:28
bschaeferaww dang :(21:28
bschaeferwas worried about that21:28
dobeywell, that's what happens with abi breaks :)21:28
bschaeferits not a requirement, just makes things simpler :)21:28
bschaeferyup!21:28
dobeybschaefer: 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 through21:29
dobey(i've been dealing with that the past few days)21:30
bschaefero thats good to hear. Thanks for the information and battling with the ABI break :)21:30

bregmarobert_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 file21:40
bregmarobert_ancell, would you suggest any simple way around that?21:40
* bregma find the above description confusing and apologizes in advance21:41
robert_ancellbregma, 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_ancellbregma, in short, you can rename the session file to anything you like, though you will break existing logins as they will use the old name21:43
bregmarobert_ancell, $DESKTOP_SESSION21:43
robert_ancellbregma, right, nothing *should* be using that anymore21:43
bregmawell, it's used by the Unity 8 upstart job to only start Unity 8 when it's a Unity 8 session21:45
bregmais there a better way?21:45
robert_ancellbregma, you should set DesktopNames in the .desktop file to have any keys you might want21:46
robert_ancellSo you'd probably do DesktopNames=Unity;Unity821:46
robert_ancellSo existing stuff that checked for Unity would still work and new stuff could check for Unity821:46
robert_ancellThat gets exposed as (the confusingly named) $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP21:47
robert_ancellcaveat, 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") == 021:48
bregmarobert_ancell, all that matters here really is the upstart job to start the desktop session, so it's worth playing with, thanks21:48
robert_ancellximion, 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_ancellximion, 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
ximionrobert_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_ancellximion, appstream metadata origin22:10
robert_ancellwhich is used as the origin for the GsApp and is what is used by the Fedora plugin to determine if they came from Fedora22:10
ximionrobert_ancell: did you discuss that with hughsie? That sounds a bit short-sighted to me...22:10
ximionah, if the Fedora plugin does it, we must do the same, since it appears to be the preferred way then...22:11
ximionand yes, I would like to have that plugin in Debian too, maybe we could even add it upstream22:11
ximionI just know the origin stuff for libappstream22:12
* ximion check appstream-glib22:12
ximionbut I think checking AppStream data will be insufficient, since AppStream metadata can come from anywhere, including 3rd-party sources22:12
ximionI think what you really want is to check for the PackageKit repository software originates from...22:13
ximionin 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
ximionin GS, you should receive an origin of the software component via the gs_app_get_source_id_default () call, btw22:14
ximionrobert_ancell: ^22:15
robert_ancellximion, yeah, the packagekit plugin also seems to set origin22:15
ximionAppStream 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 knowledge22:16
ximionhah! The GS code just gave me an idea how I could improve the PK aptcc backend :-)22:18
ximionrobert_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_ancellximion, I guess it depends if we can simply define what consitutes a supported package.22:26
ximionrobert_ancell: supported package == anything in the distributors official repositories22:26
ximion3rd-party: anything else22:27
robert_ancellximion, it seems like a maintainence issue to keep updating the whitelist of supported things22:28
ximionrobert_ancell: if we would do things right, PackageKit would provide that information, and either have it in its backend, or query APT for it22:30
ximionideally, a client tool like GS shouldn't contain any distribution-specific stuff, and hardcoded lists are especially evil22:33
