pittiGood morning06:02
seb128good morning desktopers06:38
pittihey seb128!06:43
seb128hey pitti, wie gehts?06:44
seb128how is your team week going?06:44
pittiseb128: it's going quite well actually!06:45
pittiapart from having shoestring and yoghurt can internet06:45
seb128but you have some sun right?06:45
pittihalf of my week's TODO is done06:45
seb128can't have it tall!06:45
pittiplenty :)06:45
seb128all06:45
seb128oh, nice06:45
seb128what do you focus on this week?06:46
pittiseb128: working with cking on arm64 kernel FUBAR, with cyphermox on network yaml, with tdaix on java testing automation, discuss some boot speed isuses, etc.06:47
seb128oh, boot ... do you guys plan to optimize back the desktop start? it has been a while we didn't look at that06:48
pittiseb128: for 16.10 this is just about some low-hanging fruit06:53
pittiwe found two06:53
pittifwupd takes two full seconds in "early" desktop start, that seems very expensive06:53
pittiand gnome-software could probably start later, rather than slowing down the desktop start06:53
pittiand in QEMU cloud images we should ues MODULES=dep, speeds up kernel boot time by a second (1.5 s -> 0.6 s)06:54
pittieverything smaller than that is post-16.10, and needs some proper infra for gating on boot speed regressions06:54
seb128pitti, right, I pointed out the gnome-software start-with-session thing before 16.04 when we added the service07:10
seb128but it was late in the cycle and people were still fighting with landing features07:11
pittiseb128: I don't see a bug for it yet, I'll file one07:14
pittialso need to find what this "fwupd" thing is07:14
seb128yeah, I didn't file one, I just argued against gnome-software to be a permanant service07:15
seb128it's the service handling firmware updates07:15
seb128superm1 is maintaining it, best to talk to him when he's online07:15
pittifiled bug 159267807:21

seb128mvo, hey07:32
mvohey seb12807:33
seb128mvo, attente was looking for somebody to sponsor his snap xdg-open package, I think you already did the code review, do you think you could sponsor the package as well?07:33
mvoseb128: sure07:34
seb128mvo, bug #1580740 has the package, but let me do a pre-NEW type of review first, no point uploading if there are things to fix to let it in ;-)07:37

seb128mvo, thanks!07:39
mvoyw07:40
seb128yeah, looks fine for new07:41
seb128mvo, is snappy going to use it already today if installed?07:42
seb128or does it need integration in snapd of some way?07:42
seb128ah, attente wrote what is needed on the bug07:43
seb128the xdg-open script on the core image07:43
mvoseb128: a new os snap is needed, if you do "sudo snap refresh --channel=beta ubuntu-core" it should work07:43
seb128you might it's already in the os snap I just need to refresh today?07:44
seb128or I need to refresh once it's in there but that's not the case yet?07:44
mvoseb128: its already in the os snap in the beta channel but not yet in stable yet07:44

willcookelooks like something we should take more of a look at08:35
willcookeThe fwupdate bit especially, since it's also causing issues with usb mice08:36

pittiI thought I added it to the bug08:39
sarnoldyou did :)08:40
seb128pitti, sorry, I didn't read the bug, just the title on irc08:40
sarnold(I was curious, since apparmor is often blamed for slow boots, I just wanted to see how much it affected your current situation... I was quite happy with what I saw :)08:40
pittithere's still dozens of "little papercuts"08:41
seb128Laney, did you want to sponsor the gnome-software SRU for attente or should I try to have a look to that today?08:41
pittibut before we address lots of little optimizations we need some better infra, and 16.10 is not the time for that08:41
sarnolddefinitely the fwupd and gnome-software blobs look like huge papercuts :)08:41
pittiand these two are also new regressions in x08:42
pittiand total overkill from an engineering POV08:42
