Sweet5hark1Happy Birthday, the Document Foundation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVkkZ64hJJA09:07
seb128hey Laney Sweet5hark109:07
seb128Sweet5hark1, ;-)09:07
seb128Sweet5hark1, so, I updated libreoffice in xenial and now my menus are not integrated in unity anymore ... known issue?09:09
ksamakhey all09:17
Sweet5hark1seb128: yes, because we install libreoffice-gtk3 in the default. That sneaked in as a dependency from Debian. Already fixed locally.09:18
alexarnaudhoy all!09:18
alexarnaudseb128, didrocks: is xorg-gtest specific to Ubuntu ? I cannot find anything about it in Debian repo09:19
Sweet5hark1seb128: The fix is to not continue to build libreoffice-gtk3, but not install it by default. This is what we did before.09:19
seb128hey alexarnaud09:20
seb128Laney, did you get your bike back?09:20
LaneyNO09:20
seb128Sweet5hark1, oh ok ... why is gtk3 not having integrated menus? ;-)09:20
LaneyWAH09:20
willcooke??!?!?!09:20
seb128Laney, oh? :-(09:20
LaneyI broke the new inner tube09:21
Laney*or* it was already broken09:21
Laneybut more likely that I did it09:21
willcookebut the bike was there?09:21
Sweet5hark1seb128: There will be some fallout from people running prerelease xenial, who will have libreoffice-gtk3 installed now. But people installing fresh from media or update postrelease should be unaffected, once the fixed package is there.09:21
Laneyaye09:21
seb128Sweet5hark1, k09:21
Laneyfixed the puncture this morning09:21
Laneyso another trip out to the station tonight ...09:21
seb128"fun"09:22
Sweet5hark1seb128: (that "fallout" is actually not too bad: We also need _some_ people to test libreoffice-gtk3)09:22
seb128right09:22
seb128so you didn't reply at the "why is gtk3 not having integrated menus"09:22
seb128I though you got that working at the london sprint?09:23
alexarnaudseb128: I've find more things on freedesktop, it seems I need to investigate09:23
Sweet5hark1seb128: as for the gtk3 doesnt have unity menu: yes, that was fixed in london. And apparently regressed upstream -- havent looked into that yet.09:23
seb128alexarnaud, it seems like that simply nobody packaged it for Debian09:25
seb128Sweet5hark1, ok09:25
=== faenil is now known as faenil_
alexarnaudseb128: OK, I see09:26
seb128Sweet5hark1, also, http://people.canonical.com/~seb128/libreoffice.png ... is the text on the left pane supposed to be that big?09:26
alexarnaudseb128: Did you know the link with Compiz ? I see it in Compiz dep.09:26
seb128alexarnaud, it's used for tests09:26
alexarnaudseb128: Ok, I'll learn more about it. Thanks a lot for your time09:27
seb128yw09:27
seb128alexarnaud, just curious, but what are you working on?09:27
Sweet5hark1seb128: FWIW, I also have a MIR we should punch through: ucpp. In total, we have: 1/ fix autopkgtests 2/ build libreoffice-style-elementary too from new upstream 3/ continue building libreoffice-gtk3, build dont deploy in default 4/ MIR ucpp instead of using bundled09:27
alexarnaudI'm working on porting Compiz from Ubuntu to Debian09:28
seb128Sweet5hark1, k, seems like a good todo ;-)09:28
Sweet5hark1seb128: So far libreoffice-gtk3 is worked on by some core hacker, I dont think he cares too much about finer UX/design things there (yet)09:29
seb128alexarnaud, are you just interested by having compiz in Debian as an user? or do you plan to build something on it? wouldn't be easier to build whatever you are doing on Ubuntu?09:29
alexarnaudseb128: It seems that everything work good but I've dropped gtest but I need to check if it essentiels or not to keep it in the final package09:29
seb128yeah, it's not a runtine thing09:29
seb128doesn't impact on how compiz works09:29
seb128Sweet5hark1, I uninstalled gtk3, see the menus are not there :p09:29
seb128Sweet5hark1, it's a screenshot of the gtk2 version, the sidebar text feels big09:30
alexarnaudseb128: I work at hypra.fr team and we use Debian as work base09:30
=== faenil_ is now known as faenil
alexarnaudWe provide repository with old Compiz version and we would to be more in contact with community, that's why we would like to make Compiz directly in Debian09:31
seb128I see09:31
Sweet5hark1seb128: argh. but yeah, looks the same on libreoffice 5.0.5 -- so is intentional.09:31
alexarnaudseb128: My coleegue ksamak work on connecting Compiz with AT-SPI2 to manage a11y event09:31
seb128alexarnaud, good luck, it still feels like things would be easier for you if you were based on Ubuntu ;-)09:31
seb128Sweet5hark1, so it's not only my machine ... ok, if that's the way it supposed to be :-)09:32
alexarnaudseb128: maybe yes but some of us are in Debian community and our mentor are an active Debian contributor09:32
seb128k09:32
alexarnaud:)09:33
Sweet5hark1seb128: the todo list is already commited, I just need to cut through the redtape for the MIRs. Is MIRing ucpp a "feature"? (as there is ff tomorrow)09:33
seb128Sweet5hark1, I don't think it is09:33
Sweet5hark1seb128: good, thanks.09:33
seb128switching from a bundle to a system shared lib feels like a bugfix to me09:33
ksamakseb128: and we like debian cause it's free /troll09:35
seb128ksamak, :-)09:35
seb128ksamak, sorry I didn't want to troll,  it just feels like that this "packaging compiz" is taking you guys quite some work, it was an honest suggestion09:36
seb128but yeah, if you have the free slots to get that done it's nice for everybody09:37
seb128would be good to have compiz uptodate in Debian ;-)09:37
* Laney is being spammed with apparmor notifications09:54

Laneyntp09:56
Laneyjust got updated09:56
pittihm, I'm just getting hundreds of "powercap intel-rapl:0: package locked by BIOS, monitoring only", that sounds differently09:58
willcookeseb128, have updated https://code.launchpad.net/~seb128/software-properties/dialog-enable-proposed/+merge/286213 with the final text from design10:10
seb128willcooke, is "title" the window title or the bold part of the text? do we really need the "warning:" if it's the bol text?10:11
willcookeseb128,  dialog = Gtk.MessageDialog(self.window_main, 0, Gtk.MessageType.QUESTION, Gtk.ButtonsType.NONE, _("Are you sure you want to enable updates from proposed?"))10:12
willcookethat one ^10:12
seb128k10:13
seb128so that's the bold text10:13
seb128having "Warning:" in there seems like poor form to me10:13
seb128that dialog is a warning one, icon and bold text convey that10:14
willcookeseb128, yeah, fair enough.  Drop the "warning"10:14
seb128willcooke, thanks10:15
seb128willcooke, also any though about Brian's comment?10:15
seb128the fact that "proposed" has different use on devel and stable series10:15
seb128do we want different messages/behaviours?10:15
willcookeI think it's a fair point, but this warning is for "normal" users running a released version.  I expect people running a pre-release will have more of a clue about proposed10:18
willcookeso I think we just stick with a single implementation10:18
willcookekeeps it simple for us too10:19
willcookei.e. no, we dont want different messages / behaviours10:19
seb128k, wfm10:19
willcooke:)10:19
seb128I was pondering not showing the proposed box on devel10:19
seb128since that shouldn't be used and people who need it usually know how to deal with the command line10:20
seb128but that can be a later change10:20

seb128gstreamer FAIL10:23
* seb128 looks at https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/gstreamer-announce/2015-October/000359.html and is annoyed10:24
seb128they were supposed to have 3 pre/rc between decembre and feb and have 1.8 out by now10:24
seb128none of that happened10:24
willcooke:((10:24
seb128just wrote a comment on that gst/rb/crossfading/noise issue10:24
seb128which is fixed in git10:25
seb128asking what's going on with that schedule10:25
seb128willcooke, I pushed an update to the software-properties/proposed dialog, but I've a feeling mpt wouldn't approve of the wording. I think it's unusual to have a confirmation dialog providing choices without having it's text stating what is asking about ... like it doesn't say "you are about to enable proposed, are you sure?" it just say "bla is dangerous", which the user could take as "wth is it telling me about bla"10:50
seb128like nautilus doesn't say "deleting by passing the trash can lead to data loss", it tells you "are you sure you want to delete those? you are not going to be able to get those data back later"10:52
willcookempt, care to comment?  https://code.launchpad.net/~seb128/software-properties/dialog-enable-proposed/+merge/28621310:53
mptseb128, willcooke: Something that’s specifically for testers and Ubuntu developers shouldn’t sit like a mine in the middle of a UI that isn’t. That’s why I specced that tab shouldn’t offer -proposed at all. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#settings>10:59
mptPutting up a sign “WARNING: Mines can blow your leg off” is not really a solution to the problem of the mine being there.10:59
Sweet5hark1seb128: so, is bug 1546421 relevant for ff? Its already fixed in LibreOffice (which defaults to breeze on unity if available), but the one line change to ubuntu-meta to install -style-breeze instead of -style-human isnt in yet ...11:01
ubot5bug 1546421 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "package libreoffice-gnome 1:4.2.8-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/libreoffice', which is also in package libreoffice-common 1:4.2.8-0ubuntu3" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/154642111:01
seb128Sweet5hark1, seems like more an uif item11:02
Sweet5hark1seb128: hmm?11:03
seb128mpt, willcooke, we don't have the contributor console though and our documentation/SRU process relies on testers being able to enable proposed to test candidate SRUs11:03
Sweet5hark1seb128: argh, wrong bug id11:03
mptwillcooke, and I already linked to that spec from the bug report that seb128 is working on, but ara changed the summary to assume the warning is a good solution. I disagree with that assumption.11:03
seb128Sweet5hark1, installing another style by default seems like more "ui freeze" material to me11:03
arampt, I changed the summary after talking to willcooke11:04
seb128mpt, sort of false, there isn't a simple command to do that, but you could do a "echo "deb ... proposed" > /etc/apt/sources.lists && sudo apt-get update" with maybe some more scripting around to only add if if it's not enabled yet11:11
seb128Sweet5hark1, right, that mostly impacts the look so I would consider it ui freeze not feature one11:11
Sweet5hark1seb128: alright, thx.11:12
willcookewell, we're not going to do significant work on the software sources or contributor console in 16.04, or in fact ever, because U8.  So we either remove proposed from there altogether or we go with a warning.  Both are sub-optimal.  Which is least bad?  Given that all our docs talk about enabling proposed through that UI, I think the warning is better than nothing.11:14
mptThose aren’t the only two options. For example, we could move that checkbox to its own tab labelled “Developer” or something like that. That way you could have warning text below it without needing a dialog.11:16
mptDoes “because U8” mean “We’re not going to let you install .debs any more”?11:18
willcookempt, @ U8 - rather that U8 will have a new UI and so development will happen in there not in U711:19
willcookei.e software sources will be re-implemented in U811:19
willcookedebs will still exist, so they'll need to implement an equivalent, which can be done correctly11:19
willcookeI'm not sure about adding a new tab.  It won't be a huge amount of work, but it will render all the docs wrong11:20
willcookethat said, it's probably not beyond the wit of a developer to work out what to do11:27
willcookeseb128, thoughts on adding a new tab?  How much work>11:27
willcooke?11:27
* Sweet5hark1 filed two MIRs today already. Working hard for peace in the world!11:28

TrevinhoLaney: unity-lens-applications has a dependency on unity because of the icons it uses..15:20
TrevinhoSo not really a dependency, but...15:20

Trevinhono15:20
LaneyTrevinho: so why did it become a problem?15:20

LaneyIf it wasn't a problem last time this got uploaded I don't see why it would be now15:21
Laneymissing something here :)15:21
TrevinhoLaney: I think the same, but... For some reason britney doesn't think that this is an old problem15:22
seb128Trevinho, what was the britney output before your hack?15:22
TrevinhoLaney: I'm rebuilding btw, so soon we'll get back to the initial issue15:22
Laneyit's right in what it is saying now15:22
Laneybecause the build is indeed missing, that's what you forced to happen15:22

pittiLaney: so you have to mark your r00tkit image/jpeg, and all will be good? *smirk*15:24
Laneydon't really understand what proxying is for https to be honest, apart from a passthrough15:24
Laneypitti: indeed15:24
pittiI can also base64 encode it and copy&paste it in15:25
pittithis is a poor argument15:25
* Laney just wants it to work at this point15:25
seb128what I don't get is how unity-lens-applications migrated to xenial if it has missing depends15:25
Trevinhoseb128: no, not a regression... But britney didn't think that (like it does for unity not having libnux working in the same arch)15:25
Laneyseb128: the s390x build happened in the release pocket15:25
seb128oh15:25
Laneybecause the arch got added later15:25
seb128we should maybe just delete that binary then15:25
seb128?15:25
Laneycould do15:25
Laneyor make it a recommends15:25
seb128Trevinho, ^15:26
Laneyor split the icons in unity15:26
Laneypitti: what do you want it for this time?15:27
pittiLaney: api.github.com15:27
TrevinhoLaney: I'd prefer not to touch the unity packaging...15:27
Trevinhoas already I'm changing something in that front15:27
pittiLaney: github now makes test requests for systemd upstream PRs, but I can't tell it about their status15:27
TrevinhoLaney: as for reccomends, I think it's better15:27
TrevinhoLaney: so... if you remove the binary let me know... otherwise I'll go for reccommends15:28
seb128+1 for the recommends15:28
seb128you need to upload it anyway15:28
TrevinhoOk, rebuild in progress... Let's see..15:31
Laneycool15:41
Trevinhowillcooke, qengho: about video acceleration.... While reading the firefox bug related to that (it seems there's no hope in that front), someone mentioned that it's supported by Chromium... It seems that it needs to be patched with something like (https://github.com/fqj1994/chromium-vaapi, old but...). So, wondering what can be done on that side...15:41
willcookeTrevinho, qengho - seems like a very early PoC more than a feature at this point.15:42
willcookeIntel have u/s a load of VP9 patches for Cr. I think, so we might get that for free first15:43
Trevinhowillcooke: well it's shipped on chrome-os15:43
TrevinhoUff, you're not supposed to be so slow, you arm64!15:47
TrevinhoI've to drive back to Florence, it will take ~1.5 hr16:04

robert_ancelllarsu, I was wondering if you have time for one last request - you might have some ideas on bug 154627616:38

robert_ancellmpt, hi, have you been following the GNOME Software work?16:55

robert_ancellLaney, is the appstream stuff mostly working now?17:00
robert_ancellLaney, and should I do anything to remove the stuff your shell script installed?17:01
Laneyit should be working17:01
Laneyactually I don't know which location is preferred17:01
LaneyI would just delete the stuff that it downloaded17:01
seb128robert_ancell, hey17:05
seb128robert_ancell, gnome-software's MIR got acked (and gcab one as well conditional on a fix), do you think it's ready to switch the seed? if so can you do it today or tomorrow (before ff)?17:05
robert_ancellLaney, so I'm going to delete /var/cache/app-info/icons/, /var/cache/app-info/xapian/, /var/cache/app-info/yaml/ - that makes sense to you?17:05
robert_ancellThey don't seem to be owned by any packages and haven't been updated recently17:05
robert_ancellseb128, yeah, I was going to ask your opinion. I think it's ready in the sense it works, but has bugs. But I think that makes sense for FF right?17:06
seb128yes17:06
robert_ancellAnd users can keep using USC so it's only new users that will get switched17:06
seb128right17:06
robert_ancellseb128, ok, I'll do that today17:06
seb128thanks17:06
robert_ancellseb128, thank you17:07

seb128I played a bit with it, feels nice17:07
Laneyrobert_ancell: I think so, the system one is /var/lib/app-info/17:07

robert_ancellSweet5hark, aroud?21:48
robert_ancellaround21:48
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: aye21:49
robert_ancellSweet5hark, in you lo snap, you have all the dependant libraries inside the snap right?21:50
robert_ancellSo it just depends on Ubuntu core21:50
Sweet5harkyes.21:52
robert_ancellSweet5hark, and snappy handles all the linking stuff for that? Or did you need to modify LO?21:52
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: I got it to finish building a libreoffice, by disabling tests. The result does print a help message, when you call it with ./soffice.bin --help ... as root ... with a LD_LIBRARY_PATH. It does nothing more.21:55
robert_ancellSweet5hark, root?21:56
Sweet5harkBeyond that it fails in ways that suggest subtle and mean toolchain errors.21:56
robert_ancellSweet5hark, where does it write the configuration? In the snappy directories or ~?21:57
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: hmmm, Im not sure if it even gets to that point ...21:57
robert_ancellok :)21:57
robert_ancellSweet5hark, but you would expect it to still go to ~ unless you patched it right?21:58
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: yes.21:58
robert_ancellSweet5hark, are there any files in ~ that it might access outside of its configuration? Even indirectly through a library.21:58
robert_ancellI guess the GTK+ theming configuration21:59
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: hmm, never thought much about that. would need to strace it ...22:01
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: also how do you define "its configuration"? because "its configuration" might include executable code (e.g. extensions stored in ~) and such fun ...22:02
robert_ancellSweet5hark, sorry, was called into a conversation22:14
robert_ancellSweet5hark, yeah, I'm trying to think along the lines of "what would happen if you couldn't access ~" or "You can only access ~/Downloads, ~/Pictures, ~/.config" etc22:14
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: from what I see now it seems worse than that. namely, that some symbol export foo breaks C++ stdlibs in a subtle way inside snapcraft/snappy.22:18
robert_ancellSweet5hark, the C++ libs from ubuntu-core?22:19
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: hang on a sec, I will try to find the conversation on that and include it in the mail.22:20
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: you got mail.22:43
robert_ancellSweet5hark, it's all spam22:43
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: you still got nothing?22:48
robert_ancellSweet5hark, I got it. It's a Futurama reference :)22:52
robert_ancellThough googling I think the correct line is actually "It's not spam"22:52
robert_ancellWhich makese more sense22:52
Sweet5harkheh22:52
* Sweet5hark is too much of an old fart for futurama22:52
robert_ancellSweet5hark, are there any services that LO relies on (e.g. D-Bus) that would stop it working if they were removed? Because you can get all the libs in the snap but not the services.23:05
robert_ancellI mean e.g. a D-Bus service, not D-Bus itself.23:06
robert_ancellThough perhaps that is a candidate...23:06
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: well, we are certainly using various services, but we usually fall back soft when missing almost everything ...23:09
robert_ancellSweet5hark, yeah, I was thinking that apps like LO are a bit of a special case in that most things are optional. Other desktop apps rely on package dependencies to ensure their services are there.23:11
robert_ancellSo those sort of apps would need their services to be in snaps23:12
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: if what remains is still a full office suite platform might be debatable. I assume there will be people having very strong opinions on that.23:12
robert_ancellI have raised that point23:12
robert_ancellSweet5hark, is that because it would take much work to get them all working or is there anything fundamental that would be lost converting to a snap?23:15
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: there is so much stuff that might break in containers, I just dont know how bad it might be and what would be the most painful things ...23:18
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: for an extreme, take e.g. extensions and scripting via UNO: they are supposed to be able to do anything and everything to integrate with $whatever and run in the same process as LibreOffice. Thats not a good fit to containerization.23:21
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: For the rest, TBH I wouldnt know. I have no idea if LibreOffice base is able to interact with any database source (mysql, postgres) anymore etc. -- and unittests dont help a thing, as they will be inside the container.23:23
Sweet5harkrobert_ancell: (also one person can do manual testing on a LibreOffice release for a year and not cover all corners) To have any idea of realworld impact: publish PoC, buckle up seatbelts, ask for feedback, brace for impact23:26
robert_ancellSweet5hark, ack23:26
