seb128Laney, indeed!08:07
seb128though a bit earlier than usual08:07
seb128I was just awake and felt like I wouldn't manage to get back to sleep in the half an hour before the alarm clock08:08
seb128hey Sweet5hark!08:08
* Sweet5hark had an "interesting eventing" yesterday. A tornado has hit my hometown. It missed my parents house by just some 300 meters ...08:09
willcookewoah08:09
seb128urg08:09
willcookeeveryone ok?08:09
seb128tornados in Germany? wth08:09
pittiweather has been crazy lately indeed :/ lots of floods in the south too08:09
Sweet5harkI drove to their house to check (they are on vacation). And every road I wanted to take there was closed by the police and fireworkers -- that wasnt reassuring at all. When I finally found a way to sneak in the whole street was full of fireworkers sawing down trees and clearing damage ...08:12
seb128did you manage to get to the house at the end?08:13
seb128was it still standing?08:14
Sweet5harkThe house seems fine though. As said: A few hundred meters further, there was quite a bit of distruction. 1000 fireworkers had been in action. Here is how it looked for someone inside the storm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=9&v=68_o_B0C4pI08:15
Sweet5harkseb128: There wasnt any visible damage at all to the house. But the video above was filmed just maybe 500m from were the house is.08:16
pittiouch08:17
willcookehappyaron, how did you get on with the nm stuff today?08:20
happyaronwillcooke: will send an email to seb for n-m/1.2.2 very quickly, and later today for the nm-applet08:20
happyaronreplying to oem chih's email atm08:21
willcookethx happyaron08:21
Sweet5harkTornado are apparently _very_ local phenomena. I was 5km from there in my flat, and while I heard thunder and saw the clouds in the north, there was not a single drop of rain -- it was even sunny. I can easily believe how people are careless when a tornado hit -- one is just to amazed at how fast it is happening.08:21
seb128happyaron, hey, I got your mail, thanks, going to look into it in a bit08:33

seb128back11:41
seb128waouh, that was an epic fail11:41
Laneyuh oh11:41
seb128I disabled glx in xorg.conf to try to reproduce a cogl segfault11:41
seb128of course compiz didn't like that11:42
seb128which is fine, I tried under wmaker11:42
seb128well, first compiz didn't like it at the point that the session was sending me back to lightdm11:42
seb128then I removed the config11:42
seb128of course compiz screwed its config from the failed login11:42
seb128no opengl plugin11:42
seb128tried to dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ without luck11:43
seb128with all that 15 minutes before I had to go for lunch11:43
seb128long story short, some rm and ccsm and gsettings/dconf calls later I'm back from lunch with a working session11:44
seb128did I miss anything? ;-)11:44
seb128tjaalton, wasn't libinput possible to sync? I had a look and it seemed we only had one patch which was upstream now?11:47
tjaaltonseb128: no, we have two patches of our own11:51
tjaaltonwhich are not upstream yet11:51
seb128tjaalton, k, I guess I got confused by your changelog entry since you don't summarize the remaining changes in the merge entry11:51
tjaaltonusually don't11:52
tjaaltonit's in git11:52
tjaalton"refresh patches, drop .."11:52
tjaaltonwould imply there still are patches :)11:52
seb128yeah, good that I didn't do the sync, I was about to some days ago ;-)11:53

seb128copy fail11:53
tjaaltonthat was in the changelog11:54
tjaaltonmaybe it's stuck in proposed still?11:54
seb128yeah11:54
seb128set it to fix commited :p11:54
seb128tjaalton, sorry for the noise, and thanks for updating it!11:54
seb128btw I saw on #debian-gnome that Debian reverted to not use libinput by default yet11:55
seb128well that was some days ago11:55
seb128does that stand?11:55
tjaaltonno, x-x-input-all still depends on libinput, but the config snippet order got changed11:58
seb128the result is the same no?11:58
tjaaltonfor now11:58
seb128what was the motivation to switch?11:59
tjaaltonto libinput by default?11:59
seb128I guess I didn't understand what they were saying12:00
seb128I was under the impression that they changed the config back to not use libinput for touchpad by default in the session12:00
tjaaltonthey had issues because there was a packaging bug in libinput (it didn't install the udev quirks)12:01
seb128k, so that was just a bug and they went back on that change?12:02
tjaaltonbut then upstream decided it makes sense to flip the config order because soon the default is to have only libinput installed (not yet in debian) and then if you really want to use synaptics/evdev you can12:02
tjaaltonand wacom to12:02
tjaaltontoo12:02
tjaaltonjust that x-x-i-all hasn't been modified to not install the other drivers yet12:03
tjaaltonfrom what I can tell12:03
seb128I see12:03
seb128thanks12:04
seb128I'm still trying to get an opinion about which one we should prefer12:04
seb128the Debian discussion suggested that they still somewhat considered libinput to not be mature/tested enough12:04
tjaaltonwell we still don't have a way to configure it..12:05
tjaaltonand since that's not coming in 16.10 then our x-x-i-all will at least recommend the other drivers too12:06
seb128k12:07
seb128well the way to config coming or not is part of the reason why I try to determine if we need libinput or can safefly wait12:07
seb128if there were strong reasons we should switch that would give some more priority to the u-c-c work12:08

desrtgood morning, all :)12:56
pittihey Allison!13:01
pittidesrt: btw, I'd really think it's easier to just push a tag to https://github.com/desrt/systemd-shim/ and get a release tarball this way, unless you object (I can do that myself)13:01

attenteseb128: hey, sorry about this. i don't really have a lot of confidence in the rebase, so i just uploaded to the ppa the delta with just the fixes13:31
seb128attente, hey, nothing to be sorry about!13:31
seb128did you get specific negative feedback on the rebase?13:31
seb128or did you notice regressions?13:31
seb128or it's just complex/quite some changes so you are unsure about it?13:31
willcookeseb128, attente - does that make this moot:  https://plus.google.com/+WillCooke/posts/719SEcKwCvC13:32
attenteseb128: the complexity. i found that sometimes it can't detect whether a snap was already installed properly, but i think it's a snapd problem13:33
attentewillcooke: call for testing should still be useful, but yeah, the changes are small enough that i'm less afraid of a regressino13:36
willcookeattente, but it's not the 3.20.2 rebase now right? Just the other fixes?13:37
attentewillcooke: correct. still on 3.20.113:38
willcookeoki, I will update the post accordingly, thx13:38
willcookeattente, and thanks for making the call :)13:39
attentesorry about that13:39
willcookeattente, aint no thing13:39
willcookeattente, you still want to do the call for testing or can we just go to proposed?13:44
attentethink we can just go to proposed. it still has to wait a week there, right?13:45
willcookeattente, actually - another plan - could we keep the rebase PPA for testing and create another one just for the fixes which we can sru now?  i.e. straight in to propsed?13:45
willcookeseb128,  ^13:45
attenteyeah, we could do that13:45
=== jhernandez is now known as jhernandez_
seb128willcooke, attente, having the rebase in the ppa makes sense, unsure if we need another ppa/space for the SRU, we could do debdiff on a bug or email for sponsoring13:48
Laneythere's already a bzr branch for it13:49
seb128attente, you just won a volunteer sponsors who seems to know where things are ;-)13:50
Laneyit's a normal branch13:50
seb128I'm sure it is13:50
attentebut the changes are all on the git.gnome.org branch13:51
seb128I'm a bit confused on how all that work13:51
seb128the vcs is outdated compared to the archive13:52
seb128which I guess is because robert doesn't know about/use the bzr branch13:52
LaneyVcs-Bzr has it13:52
seb128read what I wrote13:53
seb128https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/3.20.1+git20160426.1.a976144-ubuntu-xenial-0ubuntu213:53
seb128is missing13:53
seb128at least13:53
seb128didn't check more13:53
attentei'm uncertain how the debdiff is supposed to work either. don't we need to upload a orig.tar.xz?13:53
Laneydon't be rude13:53
LaneyIt's out of date, but not because it's confusing13:53
Laneyin that respect the package is standard13:54
Laneyfrom attente's side it's a make distcheck of the branch to upload then merge this tarball into bzr and push that somewhere to be reviewed13:54
seb128sorry, didn't meant to be rude13:55
Laneynp!13:56
seb128your comment seemed a bit orthogonal to what I was saying though13:57
seb128we might want a ppa to test that SRU or not still13:57
seb128probably not I would said if it's a safe one13:57
seb128also I can't be bothered to create a sru branch13:57
seb128I tend to do SRUs by diff+dput13:57
seb128but if somebody wants to do that I'm not going to say anything against it13:58
Laneyyou were talking about how to get the package to upload it13:58
seb128oh, also I was not joking about the fact that I would appreciate if you could help attente/sponsor it for him13:58
Laneyit's already in bzr so using that seems to make sense13:58
Laneyok13:59
seb128thanks13:59
seb128yeah, I though the vcs had moved on for yakkety13:59
seb128but apparently nto13:59
seb128we should probably fix that though13:59

Trevinhopitti: hey, do you happen to know who sets the ID_INPUT* env in input devices nowadays?14:20
Trevinhopitti: as I'm running an lxc where these envs aren't set, while they are in the host...14:21
pittiTrevinho: it's an udev builtin14:21
Trevinhopitti: mh, so... mh, no way to get these inside the lxc (where I guess udev doesn't run)...14:21
pittiTrevinho: remember, no udev in LXC containers14:21
pittibut I thought that /dev gets bind-mounted from the host, doesn't it?14:21
Trevinhopitti: eh, that's the thing :)14:21
Trevinhopitti: it does, but still14:22
Trevinhopitti: see what i get http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/17117221/14:22
Trevinhosame if I query /dev/input/mouse*14:22
pittiTrevinho: ah, no /run/udev/data bind mount in the container, I figure14:23
pittidoing that might do the trick14:23
Trevinhopitti: I tried, but I think it didn't work14:23
Trevinholet me check again14:23
pittibut yeah, don't try to do hardware in containers14:23
Trevinhothanks14:23
pittiunless that's just for convenient local testing, then this might work14:23
Trevinhopitti: well, I don't do harwdare, but in unity8 and (X I believe) these IDs are used to check the kind of the device14:24
pittiright14:24
pittiTrevinho: I just thought unity8 wasn't a thing that anyone would try and run in a standard container14:25
pittiTrevinho: for those I think it's easier to enable udev in the container14:25
pittiit's running in lxd containers already14:25
pittiand for lxc, you need to make /sys read-write14:25
willcookeattente, seb128 - sorry, was in a meeting and didnt follow the discussion about g-s.  So we're going to upload the new version without the rebase as an SRU now?14:29
seb128yes14:30
willcookethanks seb12814:30
seb128yw!14:30
Trevinhopitti: well, I'm able to properly run it from the container... It's just that unity8 checks wheter there are touch or pointer devices. And depending on that it shows or hides the cursors, or adapts the interface... So it's just doing some parsing, not much more14:30
pittiTrevinho: this is "classic" LXC, not LXD?14:31
Trevinhopitti: it seems I can't mout the /run/udev though... For some unknow reason. maybe becaus it's not filled14:31
Trevinhopitti: yeah... I probably should have done an lxd then?14:32
pittiTrevinho: you need to do that from the config file, you can't do this from inside the container14:32
TrevinhoAs I was just used to the classic container, so I didn't change my workflow14:32
pittiyou need to bind-mount the host's dir14:32
Trevinhopitti: yeah, sure... but when doing it lxc doens't start14:32
Trevinhomaybe because /run is something filled later?14:32
pittihm, perhaps (I've never tried this)14:32
Trevinholxc.hook.mount might help14:33
Trevinhoor.. .lxc.hook.pre-mount ?14:34
willcookeseb128, attente  - updated the G+ post14:37
seb128willcooke, thanks14:37
Trevinhopitti: so... the thing is that /run is mounted as tmpfs on /run... Then I should mount this after it has been created, and it doesn't seem trivial14:45
TrevinhoI see if I can get some info from Stephane14:45
pittiTrevinho: indeed; simpler to figure out how to mount /sys read-write so that udev starts, or use lxd14:46
Trevinhopitti: I see thanks14:46
Trevinhopitti: I managed to do it in two steps, and it works... Thanks a lot14:54
attenteseb128: what should the sru bug be about?16:25
seb128attente, which one?16:25
seb128similar to the previous SRU16:25
seb128one line by changeset with a bug reference16:26
seb128and each corresponding bug having the standard SRU info16:26
seb128impact/test case/regression potential16:26
attenteseb128: do you think it matters much that the diff is still rather large? it's almost 3000 lines...16:27
seb128oh, that SRU!16:27
seb128for that one get a bug "update to 3.20.3 stable version"16:27
attenteyeah ;)16:27
attenteoh. no. not doing that...16:27
seb128in addition of selected/specific fixes you want to mention16:27
attenteok. i'll just do one for the specific fixes. i'm not sure why the debdiff is so large actually...16:28
attentelike there's a giant aclocal diff16:28
seb128that's fine16:28
seb128just look at the code changes16:29
seb128but either the changes are covered by the different issues you list16:29
seb128or you have a "<something that justify random changes>"16:29
