seb128good morning desktopers08:05
seb128Laney, hey, had a good w.e?08:06
seb128darkxst, k, no worry, we might miss release though which is slightly annoying08:06
seb128need to go back to enforce ffes next cycle to avoid such issues08:07
Laneyyes thanks, hung out with henry who can talk a bit now!08:08
Laneyand did some digging at the allotment and planted strawberries08:08
Laneyyou?08:08
Laneygood travel?08:08
darkxstseb128, it was an honest mistake on my part...08:08
andyrockmorning all08:09
seb128Laney, yeah, good w.e, visiter city park on saturday before flying on the afternoon, flight was ok (full so I could only get a sit in the middle, and sound was cuting every 30s on the av system in my seat)08:10
seb128hey andyrock08:10
Laneynight flight?08:10
seb128darkxst, no worry, it's just that I usually check on -changes/uploads, I guess I assumed that was a bugfix upload08:10
Laneydid you sleep?08:10
Laneyhi andyrock and darkxst08:11
darkxstdoes anyone still use thunderbird? is it hanging constantly for anyone else?08:11
seb128Laney, 4:30pm, and not really a bit too early for that, snoozeed for an hour or so ... but we didn't have crazy late night during the week so I was not super tired08:11
Laneynod08:11
seb128I managed to stay up until 11pm yesterday08:12
darkxstseb128, it was meant to be a stable update, but on looking into it further, they backported some pretty invasive changes08:12
seb128tennis on TV helped :p08:12
Laneylooking forward to hear the crazy decisions from that meeting :P08:12
seb128darkxst, I use tb, no hang here08:12
darkxstseb128, w/ LDAP?08:12
seb128darkxst, and yeah, having to change the .install should have hinted you that there was some refactoring08:12
seb128no ldap no08:12
seb128just imap08:12
darkxstseb128, thats part of the problem, I prepared the packaging moons ago08:13
seb128Laney, no crazy decision don't worry, the planning makes mostly sense imho08:13
darkxstlet me try disable LDAP and see if that helps, though it only started hanging 2 weeks ago08:14
seb128Laney, summary is "more phone work for the phone team", "more snappy work for the snappy team" and desktop to get an unity8 session by next cycle but no speak of making it default before 17.04 or later08:14
seb128lot of time spent trying to figure out how to not hate gcc as much08:15
Laneythe compiler?08:15
seb128yes08:15
seb128they are really screwed by the C++ ABI change from previous cycle08:16
seb128and they don't know how they can handle it without invalidating devices or part of the store08:16
seb128the current store doesn't support having several versions of a same application08:17
Laneyroh08:18
seb128which they could fix, but the store team has no resources/interest to work on the non snappy part atm08:18
Laneyso you can't build an old version and a new one08:18
seb128no08:18
Laney:(08:19
seb128indeed08:19
seb128spent a good part of the week trying to figure that out08:20
seb128discussion included rebuilding with the old abi in a xenial overlay (but that one was discarded)08:20
seb128ABI changes really suck08:21
seb128direct result is that they are probably not going to update to xenial before a while08:21
seb128probably not next cycle08:21
Laneyif you don't control all the dependencies08:21
Laneydoes snappy fix this problem?08:22
Laneyprobably not for the compiler08:22
seb128no08:22
seb128right, not for the compiler08:22
seb128it would fix it for random libs08:22
seb128since you would just bandle the version you need08:23
seb128but if it's an interface with the system then if ABI change you are screwed08:23
Laneyclick has the same though, the problem is in the base system08:23
seb128right08:23
seb128hopefully gcc doesn't do that again any time soon08:23
seb128but yeah, really sucks08:23
seb128they are now talking about shipping a container with the old stack on the image or similar solutions08:24
Laneybuild the old library without a -dev package or something?08:25
Laneyor symbol problems maybe08:25
flexiondotorgMorning.08:25
flexiondotorgThis bugs has been getting referenced more and more in recent weeks - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/152292208:25
ubot5`Launchpad bug 1522922 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "Screen flickering in Intel i915 driver" [High,Triaged]08:25
flexiondotorgWhich team can I follow up with?08:26
Laney#ubuntu-x08:26
flexiondotorgI have a computer that is affected.08:26
flexiondotorgLaney, ty08:26
seb128Laney, anyway, no crazy plans, phone team needs to deliver device updates for partner so there are on a sensible roadmap for those and are stuggling on the side to see how they can deal with xenial and snappy but don't want to put things at risk so those are delayed work08:28
seb128desktop is more of "need to get ready for converge/new stack/etc by the next LTS"08:28
seb128so should be reasonable08:29
seb128Laney, oh, are you in London?08:31
seb128I almost forgot that it was 16.04 week!08:32
Laneynah08:33
LaneyI'm going down tomorrow08:33
seb128ah ok08:33
seb128I'm coming on thursday for the day only08:33
Laneyso I heard08:34
Laneyand I'm suspicious as to why :P08:34
* Laney is a paranoid person08:34
seb128lol08:35
Laneyit'll be good to have you there for release day ;-)08:35
seb128;-)08:35
seb128I think willcooke wanted to do 1 day at the office08:35
seb128so syncing with release is a good opportunity to do that08:36
seb128speaking of release I wonder what to do with the hud & g-s rename items next08:38
seb128Laney, do you have other desktop release issues that you know of?08:38
seb128I guess Sweet5hark missed the slot for his bugfix libreoffice upload :-/08:39
LaneyYou can upload and leave it in the queue08:42
Laneyor maybe block in proposed to get the builds done08:42
seb128yeah, I'm unsure, if gets nacked and that it turns out we need another g-s or unity upload to fix some other issues it's complicating things then08:42
LaneyLibreoffice08:43
seb128ah, right08:43
seb128yeah, I was thinking that08:43
Laneybuild times aren't a problem for the others so much08:43
Laney+ silo08:43
seb128but Sweet5hark didn't come back since thursday08:43
seb128so wondering if he found some issue with the update08:43
seb128Sweet5hark, hey? ;-)08:43
seb128Laney, I think you didn't explicitely reply, but are you aware of any realease issue we should be looking at?09:19
seb128I tried to keep an eye on IRC/emails/etc during the sprint but I was not always online and I might have missed things09:20
Laneyhmm, not right now09:21
LaneyI'm looking at g-cal 3.20.1 and then the sponsor queue09:22
seb128k09:23
Sweet5harkheya all.09:24
Laneyiso / upgrade testing I guess is always helpful ;-)09:24
Laneyhi Sweet5hark09:24
Sweet5harkseb128: well, I removed one of the patches and it build fine. I havent smoketested it yet. I decided not doing this in a rush as most of the crashers where crash-on-exit so no loss of data.09:27
Sweet5harkseb128: so, just keeping this ready -to-go in case the situation changes.09:28
seb128hey Sweet5hark09:30
seb128Laney, yeah, I started doing some iso testing09:30
seb128looks mostly good so far09:30
seb128Sweet5hark, k, SRU it is then I guess09:30
Sweet5harkseb128: yep09:35

Laneynow I can picture while I IRC11:12
Fudgewhat slack thing?11:15
ogra_`Laney, http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/slack-webapp_0.1_all.deb if youi dont want to search the tab all the time in your browser ;)11:17
Laneyogra_`: hrhr11:17
LaneyI closed the tab already and will probably never open it again11:17
ogra_`(also brings an icon for the launcher)11:17
ogra_`haha11:17
Laneydo you have some team in there?11:18
* ogra_` really tired it for a while ... 11:18
ogra_`only the community team that jorge maintains11:18
ogra_`( "warthogs" community team actually ... )11:18
ogra_`but i'm to old school i guess ... really cant let xchat go11:19
Fudgeirssi is awesome11:22
davmor2ogra_`: try hexchat at least it has developers ;)11:34
ogra_`davmor2, thats what i'm using on my xenial laptop now ... since xchat is gone from the archive11:35
davmor2seb128, Laney: in gnome-software can you actually find cli apps?11:36
* ogra_` thinks only if they have a .desktop file 11:40
ogra_`(htop does for example)11:40
LaneyCorrect11:42
davmor2ogra_`: yeah that's what I'm thinking it mean about 50% of our archive vanishes11:43
ogra_`davmor2, not much different to ubuntu-software though11:43
ogra_`that also only indexed .desktop files11:44
davmor2ogra_`: type in pass in software center and gnome software you'll see the difference right there, USC shows terminal based apps with a default icon but gnome-software just shows none11:48
LaneyIt is intentional11:49
davmor2Laney: awesome thanks11:50
LaneyYou can install those things another way - gnome-software is trying to show more relevant and better things to people11:50
davmor2Laney: indeed thanks11:51
Laneynp!11:51
davmor2Laney: plus if you know how to use the command line you'll most likely use apt anyway11:51

dobeyTrevinho: huh. I am certainly not seeing a GtkMenuBar in the windows where this happens. and the menus aren't arranged as a single drop down.13:07
Trevinhodobey: you refer to missing menus?13:08
=== alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g
dobeyTrevinho: yes13:12
Trevinhodobey: I see... menus are there though, in terms of exported stuff I think.. have you tried to use HUD or to launch the script I posted in the bug?13:13
dobeyTrevinho: yes, the menus are there and exported; they just aren't visible in the title bar. if i use Alt+f it will pop up the file menu in most apps, and i can navigate the rest of the menus with arrow keys for example13:15
dobeyTrevinho: i didn't see any script, but admittedly i didn't look much beyond clicking the "me too" thing at the top :)13:17
Trevinhodobey: I've lots of problems in reproducing the issue... I mean, I never got that. But from what I see I've the feeling that it's something up to gtk menu model at libappmenu level. It's like it doesn't load the menus. NOthing changed there (at least since vivid/wily), but I think that there's a race13:17
seb128hey desrt13:18
Trevinhodobey: as an experiment, you could try to do this: add the wily version of gtk some where, edit unity-panel-service.conf upstart job so that it exports the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to where the old libgtk is, and try to see if using that it will work13:19
desrtg'morning, seb13:19
Trevinhoso we can figure out where the bug is, but I've like the impression is somewhat gtk related.13:20
seb128hey Trevinho13:20
Trevinhohey seb128!13:20
=== hikiko|ln is now known as hikiko
=== ogra_` is now known as ogra_
dobeyTrevinho: it does indeed seem gtk+ related13:23
dobeyTrevinho: hmm, restarting unity-panel-service did resolve the issue in the current session, at least temporarily13:24
Trevinhodobey: yeah, it's a known workaround13:24
Trevinhodobey: I've been tempted also to just add a "sleep" to the unity-panel-service.conf. to see if something changes13:25
Trevinhonot that i'd love that, but...13:25
dobeythat killed my rhythmbox and empathy though :-/13:25
Trevinhoweird...13:25
dobeyi guess because they were started from the indicators13:25
TrevinhoOr, maybe because you launched them trhough messaging indicators'13:25
Trevinhoeh, that's the thing13:25
Trevinhoalthough it shouldn't do that,13:25
dobeybut still13:25
Trevinhonot sure what they use to launch, but I guess not gappcontext at this point13:26

seb128andyrock, is there anything in unity's stack that use "gnome-software.desktop"?15:21
seb128or org.gnome.Software.desktop rather15:24
andyrockWe use org.gnome.software.desktop15:24
seb128seems it's used in tests15:24
andyrockIn the settimgs schema15:24
seb128right15:25
andyrockAnd in the tests15:25
seb128I was wondering if there is any code path also depending on the name15:25
seb128we are going to need to rename it15:25
andyrockNot that i remember15:25
seb128k, thanks15:25
andyrock*can15:25
seb128so should be a "simple" sed in unity source15:25

Laneymaybe we just rename this for everyone15:26
Laneyit's the same forked thing for all flavours anyway15:26

xclaesseare there known issues with samba share on ubuntu 16.04? if I simply share a folder from nautilus, my windows machine on the same network won't see it18:23
ogra_jcastro, it does here18:26
ogra_hmm, though i installed the clock app and calculator from the cmdline ... not sure it would have shown them before18:26
ogra_(it definitely shows them now and knows they are installed)18:27
seb128xclaesse, no, but I don't know how much testing that gets so I wouldn't be surprised if it had issues...18:28
seb128jcastro, check with attente, proper support is not in the archive but he mentioned earlier than the archive version might list those18:29
attentethe archive version shows snaps, but has no support for them otherwise18:42
jcastroare snaps in a specific section or something? I can't seem to find them18:45
