seb128we didn't do anything special on saturday, just relaxed and went to see a movie09:10
pittiLaney: quite nice, thanks; we went to the movies on Friday, "Spotlight"09:10
seb128and yesterday there was a special day at the tennis club to celebrate the end of the winter tournament09:11

seb128hey chrisccoulson! enjoying the new laptop? ;-)09:19
chrisccoulsonI'm hitting bug 1542699 when I dock my new laptop (unity-settings-daemon just goes in to a crash loop and I can't use my external monitor)09:19
ubot5Error: Launchpad bug 1542699 could not be found09:19
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, it's ok. Although there's quite a few annoying issues because of the high dpi screen09:20
chrisccoulsonBut having 64GB of RAM is nice :)09:20
seb128you are welcome to send patches our way ;-)09:20
chrisccoulsonheh09:23
seb128chrisccoulson, joke aside, if you want to debug that u-s-d issue that would be nice, since you seem to be able to trigger it09:23
seb128I wonder if there is something wrong with the stored config09:24
chrisccoulsonI don't know what changed, I could dock on Friday. Although the multi-monitor experience is kind of sucky (it defaults to clone mode, and once the external screen is suspended it never wakes up again)09:24
chrisccoulsonIt's pretty annoying having to undock, redock and then layout my desktop again every time I go to grab coffee09:24
chrisccoulsonI'll try to figure out that crash in a bit anyway. I can't work without my external screen :)09:25

chrisccoulsonquite possibly. The dock has a 240W power brick too10:01
seb128I'm a bit concerned that the 13" screen is too small10:01
seb128I already find my 14" on the a bit small side10:01

chrisccoulsonI could probably survive with the 13" screen when travelling, but I just use my external monitor at home10:01

GunnarHjHi seb128, if I want to propose a fix of bug #1556356, where do I go? (It would good to get it in, since it affects the desktop docs.)12:36
ubot5bug 1556356 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "Menu item label "Software Sources" -> "Software & Updates"" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/155635612:36
seb128GunnarHj, you add a debdiff to this bug I guess12:36
seb128GunnarHj, or can do a branch in upstream git and ask robert_ancell to review/merge it12:36
seb128GunnarHj, but if you don't have a GNOME/account or are used to that I think it's easier to just to a diff12:37
Laneyrbasak: do you have that bug number handy?12:37
Laneyalso hey :)12:38
GunnarHjseb128: Thanks. As regards upstream, would it apply, i.e. does GNOME also use the name "Software & Updates"?12:38
rbasakLaney: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-terminal/+bug/89078412:38
ubot5Launchpad bug 890784 in gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) "Gnome-terminal continues to show outline cursor after getting focus" [Low,Confirmed]12:38
seb128GunnarHj, no, but robert_ancell handle the ubuntu diff as an ubuntu branch in the GNOME git12:38
seb128so it's not "mainstream line upstream"12:39
seb128but it's hosted on the upstream vcs12:39
seb128which is why I didn't suggest opening an upstream bug12:39
seb128but rather ping robert12:39
GunnarHjseb128: Thanks, I see (I think). I may ask robert, or just write a patch.12:40
Laneyrbasak: merci!12:40
seb128GunnarHj, right12:40
* Laney makes the fix sound12:41
Laneyplooooooooooop12:41
seb128GunnarHj, I can do the change for you next time I do a gnome-software upload if you want, but that's probably not before tomorrow12:41
seb128chrisccoulson, thanks for the u-s-d bug comment, I guess ideally the code should bail out from applying a config without aborting in those case12:43
GunnarHjseb128: That would be great! As long as I know it will be there at release time it's fine. Then we know how to name it in the desktop docs. Thanks!12:48
seb128GunnarHj, great, let's do that then :-)12:48
GunnarHjseb128: Just to clarify: You'll do it without a patch from me, right?12:49
seb128correct12:49
GunnarHjNice. :)12:50

Laneyphew, hard work this merging!12:52
Laneytime for a tea break!12:52
seb128hehe12:53
Laneyactually mom wasn't even that helpful here12:53
Laneyit doesn't handle patches which got merged upstream very well12:54
Laneyor even 3.0 (quilt) in general12:54
Laneyhoped it would be less annoying than trying to get the diff out of svn12:54
Laneybut probably not12:54
seb128chrisccoulson, since you are in this code and debugging, any chance you come with a patch to make it not segfault in those cases? ;-)12:59
Laneyisn't it an abort?12:59
Laneyassertion12:59
seb128yes13:00
seb128sorry, I tend to use segfault for sibarbt/sigsegv13:00
Laneyyeah I mean that it's a deliberate choice rather than bug13:00
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch
seb128right, but I don't think it's a good choice13:00
seb128it would be if the xrandr plugin was a standalone service13:01
seb128but the g-s-d design of "one plugin takes the service down" doesn't make that reasonable13:01
seb128chrisccoulson, what's the "xrandr" output on your machine?13:01
Laneywell what do you do? leave the output unconfigured with no obvious way to tell that u-s-d knew it was buggy?13:03
seb128aborting() doesn't help the user much13:04
seb128but I guess it depends what "unconfigured" means13:04
seb128if it means letting the default xorg config it's probably ok13:04
seb128if it's half way through applying a config, unsure...13:05
seb128I guess we could put a check upfront for duplicate output names and just bail out from applying any config in such cases13:05
chrisccoulsonseb128, xrandr only lists each output once. But I've just checked the source for that, and it seems to filter out duplicate names13:17
seb128chrisccoulson, we should probably do that as well in gnome-desktop then?13:32
mdeslaurLaney: hi! do you have a new version of gtk2webkit planned?13:33

mhall119Laney: also,just to verify, you only need the icon attached to the bug report, not a debdiff, right?15:29
ricotzseb128, don't worry, although this is an actually maintained xchat fork ;)15:29
Laneymhall119: Things need to be upstream, it's not reasonable for us to sponsor stuff that's not forwarded - too much of a burden to maintain, so please ask for a link to be included with the bug straight away15:51
Laneymhall119: If you don't ask for a debdiff then include a section that tells sponsors to put the image in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/size/category/15:51
mhall119Laney: ack, I'll re-order the instructions to make upstreaming come before attaching stuff to the bug report15:51
mhall119how hard is it to make a debdiff?15:52
Laneyif implies learning some basic packaging15:52
mhall119can I easily walk somebody through the process if they've never done any packaging anything before?15:52
Laneyit15:52
mhall119ok, I'll stick with just attaching the image and instructions then15:52
LaneyI would also link to https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines somewhere15:53

mterrygreyback: Is https://code.launchpad.net/~unity-team/qtmir/shell_chrome/+merge/286361 good now?  You were reviewing it, seemed happy, but never actually approved16:57
mterrywhoops, wrong channel, but statement stands  :)16:57
mterryseb128: the ubuntu-system-settings port to geonames never got landed.  We're going to land the geonames double-free fix in silo 41 with a bunch of other u8 stuff (a FFe silo).  I guess the u-s-s port won't land in OTA 10.  But please consider releasing it after FF.  Would be good to only carry one copy of that data on images16:59

seb128mterry, right, I'm sorry but I'm too busy on desktop to be able to look at u-s-s atm, hopefully kenvandine and jgdx handle it though17:01
mterryseb128: yeah, not an urgent item.  Just nice to have.  Especially once I finally finish translation support for geonames17:04
seb128mterry, thanks for working on those issues!17:05
mterryseb128: my pleasure!  I just imagine how annoyed our Chinese users are when they have to pick a timezone in English  :)17:06
seb128mterry, oh, even french users can be annoyed by that ;-)17:07
mterryseb128: heh17:07
greybackmterry: yes, right, I forgot about that. Code-wise I'm happy, just wanted to test17:07
seb128mterry, btw  you trainify changes look fine to me, though I don't know why that g-d depends was higher and if it's fine to lower it17:08
mterryseb128: I tested with the older one, and it seemed fine.  I actually tested with an even older version (precise) and it built...17:08
seb128mterry, but if it works just go for it17:08
mterryseb128: I'm *guessing* that larsu just used the version he had on hand17:08
seb128yeah17:08
seb128I was guessing that it was a copy/based on another project that had that version used17:09
mterryseb128: I'll be happy when we can leave vivid behind17:09

mhall119Laney: ximion: can you proofread http://people.ubuntu.com/~mhall119/blog/appstream.html before I publish it?19:54
ximionseb128: not sure if Ubuntu is interested, but on Debian we will have gotten rid of Aptdaemon pretty soon - only one package is still depending on it19:56
ximionwe have a patch for software-properties, but the driver stuff is completely untested (on Debian, only the cache update code is really used): http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/software-properties.git/tree/debian/patches/0004-Implement-PackageKit-support.patch19:57
ximionmhall119: looks good, really well-written! I wonder if 2) should mention "X-AppStream-Ignore" explicitly20:00
ximiontechnically, that's covered by the link to the wiki, but not everyone will read it ;-) - and adding that field is an immediate action someone can do20:01
ximionmaybe mentioning to write metainfo files would be helpful too, to have some more detailed metadata readily available20:01
mhall119ximion: I considered it, but thought that it would be unlikely that it would be the correct way to fix the problem for any given app20:01
ximionoh, it sometimes happens for things like system components, or if an app ships multiple .desktop files but only wants one to show up in the SC20:02
mhall119ximion: I'm focusing only on icons for this one, we can follow it up with another call for more general metadata20:02
ximionall fringe cases, but it happens20:02
ximionok20:03
willcookethat's awesome, thanks a lot mhall11920:03
mhall119ximion: for the cases where it's the appropriate solution, that can be determined by talking with upstream I would imagine20:03
ximionfor the SVG stuff: I am not sure if we should encourage shipping SVGs at all cost, since rendering them on the client costs some CPU time, and if there are lots of icons, this sums up (and also, the rendered icons need to be cached, consuming space in every user's $HOME)20:04
ximionon the other hand, SVG icons also have clear benefits20:04
ximion+so maybe leave that section as it is ^^20:04
mhall119since they're just submitting the file, not a package patch, it's up to someone else if it should be rasterized before patching or at runtime20:05
ximionjup, you're right (RE the AppSteam-Ignore) - anyway, nice guide, very helpful!20:05
mhall119thanks :)20:05
mhall119years ago, when I did a similar call for icons for apps in Unity, SVG was the preferred: http://mhall119.com/2012/03/contributing-to-unity-for-artists-svg-icons/ so I was taking a similar approach here20:06
ximionyeah, SVG as source is great and the go-to thing20:08
ximionin a perfect world, designers would ship SVG icons which get rendered to optimized PNGs at build-time and then stored ^^20:08

seb128hey robert_ancell21:11
robert_ancellseb128, hello21:12
seb128robert_ancell, how are you?21:13
robert_ancellgood21:13
seb128how is the g-s work going?21:15
seb128not sure if you saw but bdmurray fixed the changelogs server21:15
robert_ancellI did,that's awesome21:16
mhall119Laney: ximion: what's the answer to http://mhall119.com/2016/03/help-make-gnome-software-beautiful/#comment-143340 ?21:16
seb128did you figure out the invalid read in get_changelog?21:17
seb128I mentioned it to attente but I don't think he was able to reproduce21:17
robert_ancellnot yet21:17
seb128did you hit the issue yourself or is that something happening only in special cases?21:17
ximionmhall119: it shouldn't be, if your Contents file is up-to-date at Ubuntu21:18
ximionmaybe check for that21:18
ximionif that looks fine, have Laney reprocess VLC21:18
mhall119so it's okay to have the image and the .desktop files in separate binary packages?21:19
mhall119what Contents file?21:19
seb128need to go, 'night everyone21:19
robert_ancellseb128, bye21:20
robert_ancellseb128, I haven't seen that issue myself I don't think21:20
ximionmhall119: that one: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/xenial/Contents-amd64.gz21:20
mhall119why would it matter if mine was up to date (do I even have one?)21:21
ximionmhall119: on Debian, we have vlc: https://appstream.debian.org/html/sid/main/metainfo/vlc.html21:21
ximionso I think a fault in the Contents file is highly likely (>> 90%)21:22
ximionI am working on a more powerful generator right now, which, if deployed, is capable to solve this problem once and for all21:22
mhall119ximion: ok, I'm just downloading http://appstream.ubuntu.com/hints/xenial/universe/DEP11Hints_i386.yml.gz and generating moinmoin markup from that21:22
ximionwe don't have the issue at Debian, because we rebuild the contents file more often21:22
ximionmhall119: yeah, nothing wrong with your code, I am talking about the generator here21:23
mhall119ok21:23
mhall119can you and/or Laney check if VLC needs work, and if not just remove it from the wiki page?21:23
ximionmhall119: only Laney can do that21:48
ximionI think it won't need work21:48
* ximion is productive in rewriting the generator in C and D21:49
mhall119ximion: then what, Erlang, F#, Go, Haskell, something with I?22:04
ximionC, because that's the language the AppStream library is already written in, which handles most of the things I need already22:12
ximionD because it integrates well with C and makes writing multithreaded applications fun - also, everyone who knows C or C++ can write D easily, so there is no huge barrier for new contributors22:12
ximionI considered Go, but interfacing C and Go was terrible22:13
* ximion didn't want to spend most of the time in writing language bindings22:13
mhall119you're killing my alphabet joke ximion22:13
ximionhehe, sorry, I didn't see it ^^22:14
ximionit's very late here and I just finished dinner, to my excuse :P22:14
Laneyximion: mhall119: I made it forget all icon-not-found22:14
Laneynot sure I did that since my Contents fix a few weeks ago22:14
Laneywhich should have fixed some Universe packages22:14
* Laney not really here though, o/22:14
Laney(check back in 90 minutes or so)22:15
ximionLaney: the new generator should be fast enough generate it's own contents list with less overhead, so I will make this a priority when the basic functionality is finalized22:18
ximionit's only a theoretical issue for Debian, but a real issue for Ubuntu22:19
ximionand I really want the generator to be robust about these errors22:19
