droid2humm so confusing because i check gsettings/dconf i.e the linux equivalent to a windows register and don't  see anything for lightdm just gnome so kind of wondering since no gdm is installed what the /etc/gnome files are really doing or maybe there just left over from somebody forgetting to remove these when making the distro?00:37

dufluthumper: Mir and Xmir05:40
dufluAnd trying not to be responsible for Unity8 bugs05:40
thumperhow is mir shaking out?05:41
dufluthumper: Mir is OK. It moves very slowly, but the reason is test driven development. So we go 10-20 times slower than most projects, but have fewer regressions05:42

jbichaLaney: so you're uploading GTK3.20 today? ;)11:21
Laneythat was the "..."11:22
Laneycreating turbulence in a milestone week doesn't seem super nice11:23
jbichayeah I assume it will break Lubuntu: bug 159752611:24
ubot5bug 1597526 in lubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) "Update themes for GTK 3.20" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/159752611:24
Laneyyeah there's a bounty for that one11:30
Laneythey might want to use another theme in the meantime11:30
Laneyafaik lxde itself is still gtk211:30
seb128what's the status of xubuntu?11:41
Laneytheir theme is ported11:42
seb128great11:44
jbichaseb128: initial GTK3.20 support for greybird is in the yakkety new queue :)11:44
seb128what is greybird?11:44
Laneytheme11:45
jbichathat's Xubuntu's default theme11:45
seb128xfce one?11:45
seb128k11:45
seb128does it need to stay unapproved until gtk 3.20 is uploaded?11:46
jbichaseb128: no, the greybird package works with GTK 3.18 too11:47
seb128k11:47
jbichait's a good question because some themes only include support for a particular GTK3 version11:50

flexiondotorgLaney, Just back from a week away. Saw that GTK 3.20 will land after Alpha 2 in your mail.12:05
flexiondotorgSuits Ubuntu MATE, we'll be ready to land GTK 3.20 support just after Alpha 2.12:05
flexiondotorgInitial GTK 3.20 support will be sufficient to work.12:06
flexiondotorgWith follow up to refine it in a few weeks.12:06
Laneyflexiondotorg: 'k, that's good, thx12:06
Laneyhope you had a fun sprint12:07
flexiondotorgLaney, Very.12:09
pittiseb128: I just tried to apply your polkit patch; but "pkexec whoami" in gnome-terminal still says "error response to PolicyKit daemon: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Failed: No session for cookie"12:26
pittiseb128: did that actually work for you?12:26
pittiseb128: oh, it seems it does work with polkit-gnome, just not without when authenticating in the shell with the text prompt12:29
pittiok, I got it; with yakkety's packages polkit-gnome itself fails to start with "Unable to determine the session we are in: No session for pid 2316"12:30
Laney:q12:34
pittiseb128: uploaded to Debian now, will sync tonight when it gets imported12:34
Laneyoops12:34
Laneydon't quit!12:34
pittino, don't quit!12:34
Laneydoes the polkit patch fix pk-gnome?12:35

Sweet5harkqengho: heh ;)12:47
flexiondotorgLaney, Do you have a rough ETA fir landing GTK 3.20? I can try and make sure Ubuntu MATE moves in lock step.12:50
seb128pitti, polkit failing to start should be fixed with that path no?12:50
flexiondotorgBasically, I just need to prepare and upload ubuntu-mate-artwork package and mate-themes packages.12:50
flexiondotorgmate-themes, the official upstream MATE Desktop themes, are ready.12:51
mterryLaney, looking at that unity-greeter issue now, though no promises.  I've spent so long in qml land, I've forgotten how to gtk  :)13:13
pittiseb128: yes, it is13:21
pittiseb128: there's still something else broken, but with pk-gnome it works again13:21
seb128pitti, k, good, you got me confused when you said the service was still failing to start with that error13:21
pittiseb128: I got confused; it's operation without pk-gnome when it's broken13:23
seb128k, makes sense13:23

pittitedg: hey Ted, how are you?13:48
pittitedg: btw, systemd 231 has a new feature which might help you -- if you prefix an Exec*= command with '+' it will run unconfined13:49
pittitedg: that's what you (perhaps) wanted for the logging stuff, right?13:49
pittitedg: although I still think it's better to use the journal than to put new log files everywhere, it's a nuisance to clean them up13:49
ogra_pitti, wont that eat your ram ?13:50
ogra_(if it is per app/process)13:50
pittiwell, you have less logging with less RAM, or need to use persistent logging13:51
Laneymterry: ♥13:51
seb128going for some exercice, be back in a bit over an hour14:33
ochosijbicha: hey! thanks for taking care of all the greybird packaging etc. just so you know, i'm still working on the port, i'll try to do a release very soon though (hopefully this week?)14:42
ochosijbicha: if you want or need any heads up on that or if you want to coordinate always feel free to get in touch with me here!14:43
jbichaochosi: ok, cool14:43
jbichaI was impatient so I packaged the git snapshot but releases have prettier version numbers and are easier to work with14:50
ochosi:)14:52
jbichaochosi: do you want me to report bugs in GTK 3.20 support now to github? I see a problem with the nautilus statusbar14:57
ochosijbicha: sure! and wow, what really? this is totally based on adwaita so i'm surprised about any gnome app bugs :) could be that you're not shipping upstream and consequently there's a visual bug?14:59
Laneyright, nighty night17:18
seb128night17:28
ochosiSweet5hark: hey! shall i test this on gtk3.20 or is the target xenial?19:04
Sweet5harkochosi: heya!19:04
ochosialso, you mention the "Radiance" theme there, isn't that Ambiance..? (dark toolbars and the like)19:04
Sweet5harktarget is yakkety. xenial will very much stay with the gtk2 backend until EOL.19:05
ochosik, so gtk3.2019:05
ochosiand what's the expected outcome? bright toolbars in LO? bright icons with Ambiance?19:05
Sweet5harkochosi: whoopsie wrt. to radience/ambience I could never remember them right :p19:06
tedgpitti: Cool, thanks. In that case it's going into an SQLite DB, so it's not throwing files everywhere.19:06
ochosialso, is breeze an SVG based theme? if so, you could try to make the icons symbolic, then they would work with any theme19:06
ochosibrb19:08
Sweet5harkochosi: well, I dont want to touch the icons -- they are upstreams party. The thing is, with the gtk2 backend the toolbars are light on the gtk theme, so the icon are well readable. with the gtk3 backend the toolbars have a dark background, which makes them pretty unreadable.19:09
Sweet5harkFWIW, just debugging this down to a few lines in the gtk3 theme would be very helpful (as In: when I change the color in the theme here, the toolbar color changes.) Im just lacking the time for that right now, and when I have that, I might debug what the difference between the gtk2/3 backends is.19:11
* Sweet5hark gotta run now too ....19:11
ochosiSweet5hark: ok, so the version you're referring to is already in the snap store though, right?19:20
ogra_bregma, so i spent half a workday on unity8 today (evolution and hexchat in libertine) ... since i discovered that tap to click now works on my laptop ... i had to stop eventually because my tighs started getting blisters ... the load was constantly above 1.5 and the fan didnt stop spinning20:01
ogra_i couldnt see any runaway processes in top thouh20:02
bregmayour *what* started getting blisters?20:02
ogra_upper legs20:02
bregmaum...20:02
bregmayou had your laptop on your lap?20:03
ogra_indeed, it has that "lap" word in its name :)20:03
ogra_anyway ... something keeps the system at a really high load all the time but i couldnt really see anything20:04
bregmaI understand now, second degree burns20:04
ogra_yeah ... i tried being funny :P20:04
bregmaI don;t get that kind of load, but I do see an awful lot of active threads using htop20:05
ogra_ah, i have userland threads off in htop20:05
pittiLaney, seb128, tedg: just landed https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/3678, so the name is fixed now20:05
ogra_didnt think of that20:05
bregmait's certainly something to keep an eye on as we go forward with convergence on the desktop20:06
ogra_well, it slowly gets into usable state for me ...20:07
ogra_at least for laptop use20:07
ogra_not so much for my triple head nvidia workstation sadly20:07
bregmamulti-monitor is still a bit further out, as proper window management and workspace support get improved20:08
ogra_workspaces, a fixed NM and the high load issue and i can use it as daily driver20:08
ogra_the window mgmt is good enough for me ... ii had worse stuff in my life :)20:09
bregmaI'm seeing more Xmir and Mir-stack CPU usage than I'd like when libertine apps are running, we'll want to keep a special eye on that because of the lifecycle20:09
ogra_but unity7 really spoiled me ... i cant use any laptops without workspaces anymore :)20:09
bregmaagreed20:10
pitti+1 :)20:10
bregmamultiple workspaces on multiple montors20:10
bregmathere can never be enough screen real estate20:10
pittibregma: OOI, is  it possible to at least change the current monitor?20:10
pittiwith unity8 I don't see anything on my external monitor; I suppose it just uses the internal one (but that's closed and in the dock); is there some equivalent of xrandr?20:11
bregmaI don;t think Uniy 8 supports that yet, but Mir does underneath20:11
bregmabecause Ubnity 8 *is* a Mir server, it needs to be able to do that20:11
