alexarnaudHey willcooke, TheMuso :) !08:04
alexarnaudTheMuso: Did you receive my IRC message about EFI and accessiblity?08:05
ricotzhi, please keep webkitgtk/yakkety in proposed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webkitgtk/+bug/158820908:06
ubot5Launchpad bug 1588209 in webkitgtk (Ubuntu) "Broken multi-arch support with 2.4.11-1ubuntu2" [Undecided,New]08:06
seb128good morning desktopers!08:11
Laneyricotz: add the tag block-proposed08:16
Laneyhi seb128!08:16
alexarnaudseb128: good morning seb :) !08:16
ricotzLaney, ok08:17
Laneyricotz: your report also lacks details on how it is broken, and a debian report would be good too08:19
seb128hey Laney alexarnaud ricotz08:22
TheMusoalexarnaud: I did, thought you were still online when I responded... Let me dig it out of my history.08:28
TheMusoalexarnaud: I think Windows does have an option to let you boot into the UEFI settings on next boot, but from there you will need sighted help, unless of course your UEFI vendor has implemented some kind of accessibility, but that is very very unlikely.08:28
Laneyseb128: how's it going?08:28
Laneyhey TheMuso, what a rare treat08:28
seb128Laney, good! but not having a working internet at home sucks, one more day and it should be fixed though!08:29
* Laney eyes component-mismatches08:29
Laneylooks like u-a-l -> libertine is going to be a problem08:29
TheMusoHey Laney.08:29
seb128Laney, libical went it yesterday ;-)08:29
Laneyseb128: are you on that 4g stick?08:29
alexarnaudTheMuso: do you know some vendor with accessible EFI?08:29
Laneyindeed, thanks for helping!08:29
seb128Laney, see #ubuntu-release backlog from yesterday08:29

Laneyah yeah08:29
Laneybritneyyyyyyyyyyy08:30
seb128Laney, no, I didn't take the stick because at first they were supposed to get it fixed in ~1.5 days, but when they came they decided they needed the new cable, I'm working from my parents place meanwhile which is ok for a few days08:30
seb128just makes me be online a bit later in the morning :p08:31
ricotzseb128, hey08:36
ricotzLaney, added the content of libwebkit2gtk-4.0-37.install as example08:36
ricotzor does dpkg gain a feature to cope with that if the files are exactly same?08:37
ricotz(here the content of /usr/share/locale/*)08:38
seb128ricotz, dpkg deals fine with files that are identical between archs iirc08:38
Laneyricotz: do you get an actual error?08:40
Laneyit's always been able to cope with identical files08:40
ricotzwhich requires that the amd64 and i386 builder would create binary-identical mo-files here08:40
Laneyplease actually try installing and then paste the output you get if there's an error08:41
ricotzLaney, I didnt dare to let apt upgrade since it was to obvious to me08:41
Laneyuse a chroot08:41
ricotzwill do08:42
seb128ricotz, I think mo are identical between arches08:43
seb128but worth checking08:43

desrtandyrock: you're gonna wanna return FALSE from the timeout callback to stop it from running again12:44
desrtalso: handling the unref/free of the child and info structs on two separate paths is bad form.  do that in one place, please.  either nest the entire "working" body inside a block if or use a goto12:45
mhall119Hey guys, the Software app doesn't show icons or screenshots for snap apps in the store, are we doing something wrong?12:45
desrtandyrock: three separate paths, in fact...  merge those.12:46
willcookemhall119, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158826612:53
ubot5Launchpad bug 1588266 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "Almost no info about Krita snap in Ubuntu Software" [High,Confirmed]12:53
willcookeargh, session issues brb12:54
mhall119thanks, I hadn't gotten that far through the email thread to see it :)12:55
mhall119seb128: for the translations problem, could we symlink or bind-mount the in-snap files into the system-directory location that gettext tries to read, and then have the apparmor profile allow access to that?13:03
mhall119Is there a way to namespace separate them so they can't mess with other app's files13:03
mhall119or, perhaps just patch gettext itself13:04
jdstrandsomeone mentioned this is fixed in click. would be interesting to understand what is happening there. that said, click doesn't support unmodified debs like snapcraft does so don't know how helpful it would be13:05
desrtthe bind mount idea is not great13:06
desrtit only works if the thing that needs its translation is also installed on the system, and with the same version13:06
desrtif the snap has an older (or newer) gtk version, for example, some of the strings will be different13:06
desrtie: since we're not in a filesystem namespace, you'd end up replacing the "outside" version with the version from the snap, and they might not be the same13:08
desrtpatching gettext (glibc) to be more flexible about this stuff might be the way to go here13:09
seb128mhall119, I guess we could, but gettext files are only an example of resources having the issue, you get the same trying to load .ui files or custom images you ship or whatever13:11
mhall119ack13:13
desrtunless i've fundamentally misunderstood snap, it is not possible for the snap to put files in /usr that do not then appear outside of the snap to the rest of the system13:13
desrtincluding replacing system versions of those files that may already have existed...13:14
desrtif they could do that, then we may as well save ourselves the trouble and put all of the resources in the usual place in /usr -- but then we'd basically be back to dpkg plus confinement13:15
pittihey desrt, how are you?13:45
desrti'm okay, except that google is currently annoying me lots.13:46
desrthow are you? :)13:46
pittidesrt: would it be possible for you to do another (probably the last) release of https://github.com/desrt/systemd-shim/, for the benefit of Debian?13:46
pittidesrt: quite fine, thanks13:46
desrtsure.13:46
desrti'll try to do that later today.13:46
pittigetting too many infra issues and pings from folks to really get anything done, but *shrug* :)13:46
desrtif i remember how =)13:46
pittidesrt: we could also move to just doing git tags and let github build the tarballs13:46
pittidesrt: I removed systemd-shim from yakkety yesterday :)13:47
desrtsweet!13:47
pittibut I'd like to clean up the package for sid13:47
desrtcgmanager gone too?13:47
pittidesrt: not yet, still an rdepends for a few things13:47
pitticgmanger binary went to universe, though13:47
desrt"we couldn't destroy it, so we had to send it into outer space"13:48
pittidesrt: I recently managed to get init/systemd etc. out of Essential: (thus frmo build chroots), and initscripts out of the default install \o/13:48
pittifewer init systems13:48
pittidesrt: ROTFL13:48
* desrt is waiting for all the sysv back-compat stuff to disappear... LSB be damned13:48
pittidesrt: we had that for two days13:48
pittiin images.linuxcontainers.org images13:48
pittino sysv-rc, no insserv, etc.13:48
desrtya.  all that stuff.13:49
pittiit breaks all packages which only have an init.d script13:49
desrtwell ya... that's kinda the point, though :)13:49
pittibut well, containers boot and everything, so one of these days..13:49
desrteveryone should get on with providing unit files already13:49
desrtif package maintainers want to ship /etc/init.d/junk for the devuan haters, then they can... as long as i have a way to permanently divert that to /dev/null13:50
desrtglad to hear that you're making progress here, in any case :D :D13:51
pittidesrt: at least it made me fix invoke-rc.d for packaages that *do* have a system unit13:51
pittisystemd13:51
pittidesrt: these were also broken, but now not any more13:52
pittiso, this was an useful exercise13:52
Trevinhohey Laney....14:00
Trevinhoonce britney did the job in https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1481 can you ack the packaging changes?14:00
mvoseb128: who should I talk to about the nvidia driver?15:09
pittimvo: tseliot normally15:10
alexarnaudTrevinho: Hello :) ! When do you plan to release the 0.9.12.3 versions of Compiz ?15:11
alexarnaudIt is a condition for Debian to accept Compiz because it seems you've fixed the lintian errors.15:11
mvopitti: do you have any idea if he is on vac or just not around today? I have a snap releated fix I would like to run by him15:13
pittimvo: I don't know, sorry15:13

seb128dunno either if he's on vac15:17
mvothanks15:18
Trevinhoalexarnaud: hey... I will do it on landing complete16:14
seb128alexarnaud, whoever is packaging for Debian can probably patch any fix they need16:15
seb128requesting a package to be lintian clean to go in the archive is ridiculous16:16
alexarnaudTrevinho: OK but I'm very disappointed, I don't understand, what is the landing complete?16:18
alexarnaudseb128:  I don't know exactly what the problem exactly is but it seems better to fix lintian issues before to release package as I understand.16:19
Trevinhoalexarnaud: in few days hopefully. It has to go through the distro approval, then I can do that16:19
Trevinhoseb128: can you please publish this https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1481 or should I ask Laney?16:20
seb128alexarnaud, sure, in an ideal world all bugs would be fixed, but let's be realistic they don't need to block on that16:20
alexarnaudTrevinho: Good news to heard that. Do you know if it is possible to be notified by Launchpad of a new release of a package?16:20
seb128Trevinho, I can do it16:20
seb128Trevinho, done16:22
alexarnaudseb128: Do you think you can help us to have Compiz into Debian? At Hypra we have no legitimacy to discuss about that. We are very new in packaging and we wouldn't create conflicts.16:22
Trevinhoseb128: thanks16:22
seb128alexarnaud, sorry but no, too much to do16:23
alexarnaudseb128: OK, we'll wait the new upstream release before to re-open the discussion.16:24
* qengho afk 2h, dentist and govt-id check.16:24
alexarnaudAll the works on compatibility have been done few month ago :).16:24
muktupavelsTrevinho, alexarnaud: Can compiz release wait few days until I release Metacity 3.20 and finish compiz branch to add support for new Metacity? Otherwise when mitya57 will upload new Metacity in debian compiz will need rebuild to disable metacity theme support in gtk-window-decorator.16:29
Trevinhomuktupavels: in fact this was my plan... But I don't want either to make people wait too much. However, would metacity 3.20 support break build in Xenial?16:33
Trevinhomuktupavels: as I'd like to do a release Xenial compatible..16:33
muktupavelsTrevinho: https://code.launchpad.net/~albertsmuktupavels/compiz/gwd-support-metacity-3-20/+merge/29625716:35
muktupavelsI dont plan to remove support for older metacity versions, it still should work with metacity 3.16+16:35
muktupavelsbut it is not finished16:35
Trevinhomuktupavels: yeah it was under my radar16:41
mitya57muktupavels, Trevinho: I can't upload new metacity to Ubuntu anyway because it needs new GTK+…16:55
mitya57And if I upload it to Debian, it won't get autosynced because the package has a delta.16:55

mhall119is there a url scheme that will open an app's page in Gnome Software?18:40
mhall119IIRC, we had one for USC18:41
mhall119I found appstream: but none of the things I try have worked19:00
Laneymhall119: gnome-software --details=org.gnome.Cheese.desktop19:54
mhall119Laney: I'm looking for a URL20:03
mhall119something that can be put on a website and, when clicked in the browser, will open Gnome Software to that app20:03
qenghomhall119: is it not "apt:$packagenamecsv" still?20:24
qenghomhall119: If not, that's bad. URLs are permanent.20:24
mhall119qengho: no, update-manager grabs apt: URLs20:24
qenghomhall119: Oh, then probably not. URLs are not app-specific, usually. Anything could handle.20:25
qenghoNo help. Sorry.20:25
attentemhall119: this seems to be broken right now for two reasons: if apturl is installed, then it takes precedence. and if it isn't, gnome-software isn't handling them correctly for some reason20:27
mhall119actually `xdg-open appstream:org.gnome.Cheese.desktop` works20:28
mhall119so it sometimes works20:29

* desrt learns something interesting about wireless keyboards: this do not like USB323:03
desrtplugging a receiver directly in to a busy USB3 hub: massive amounts of lag and dropped/repeated keystrokes23:05
desrtadd a short USB A-A extension to move the receiver a little bit away from the hub: works great23:05
desrtturns out USB3 throws off a lot of noise in the 2.4GHz range...23:05
TheMusoAnd we want to use this interface for connecting everything including the kitchen sink... :)23:08
TheMusoThats just messy.23:08
desrtimho, the fault lies with someone who creates a wireless keyboard based on 2,4ghz and tries to sell it in the year 201623:09
TheMusoThats a good point.23:09
TheMusoEven now 5Ghz wireless is still not a thing at the lwo end of gear.23:09
desrtand this is not a low end keyboard.... not by far23:09
TheMusoYeah, amazing...23:10
TheMusoBut I think it has to do with 2.4ghz being unlicensed or some such... Or am I mixing that up with something else?23:10
desrt2.4 is unlicensed in most places23:11
desrtbut also 5, i guess23:11
TheMusoOk, wasn't sure about 5.23:11
TheMusoBut they could at least use 5... Until its also crammed full. :p23:12
JanCdesrt: AFAIK BT also uses (or can use) 2.4GHz...?23:59
