[00:49] <jbicha> robert_ancell: good morning
[00:50] <jbicha> I tried running gnome-software master; it fixes some Ubuntu issues but has new ones
[00:50] <jbicha> it's good though, I was getting bored of the old bugs ;)
=== thumper-dogwalk is now known as thumper
[01:46] <robert_ancell> jbicha, I'm trying to merge with 3.20 right now...
[01:47] <jbicha> would 3.22 be any easier?
[01:48] <jbicha> are you planning to use the packagekit plugin now?
=== duflu_ is now known as duflu
[01:50] <robert_ancell> jbicha, this is for SRuing
[01:50] <duflu> robert_ancell: Is it a known fixable issue that plymouth starts too late, and/or ends too soon? I suspect for many of us most of the boot time is pre-plymouth... so you just never see it any more
[01:52] <robert_ancell> duflu, I'm not sure if anyone is managing Plymouth (it used to be foundations, I suspect it's pretty much unmaintained). In terms of LightDM, we stop it when we're ready to start. So anything else is managed in Plymouth/systemd
[01:52]  * duflu suspects we need to display something nicer from grub till plymouth starts
[01:53] <robert_ancell> duflu, we just need u-s-c :)
[01:53] <duflu> robert_ancell: Getting working graphics in to initrd is the thing :)
[01:53] <jbicha> yay! Ubuntu Software Center ;)
[01:54] <robert_ancell> yep, that's the hard part
[01:56] <duflu> robert_ancell: The login screen is not Xorg right?
[01:56] <duflu> It's DRI?
[01:56] <robert_ancell> duflu, yeah, it's something direct like that. Definitely not Xorg
[01:56] <robert_ancell> Plymouth is pluggable
[01:57] <duflu> OK then. This bootchart is wrong
[02:03] <duflu> robert_ancell: So we should never see Xorg starting at all if you log in to Unity8 first right?
[02:04] <robert_ancell> duflu, unless you have unity-greeter running
[02:04] <duflu> robert_ancell: Oh, yes that's it.
[02:04] <duflu> robert_ancell: Ummkay, so how do I make an Ubuntu system not start the unity-greeter?
[02:05] <robert_ancell> duflu, set autologin
[02:05] <duflu> OK, thanks
[02:06] <jbicha> robert_ancell: you should try appstream-glib 0.6.1, it magically makes gnome-software support plugins
[02:10] <jbicha> although the Installed tab doesn't handle them right (only 1 plugin from each package is shown)
[02:23] <duflu> robert_ancell: lightdm supports Mir system compositors too doesn't it?
[02:23] <robert_ancell> duflu, yes
[02:23] <duflu> OK. We're just prioritizing visual quality (changeovers) for Unity7 for now
[02:24] <duflu> robert_ancell: Oh. I mean running on Mir, not starting Mir
[02:24] <robert_ancell> duflu, running what? sessions?
[02:25] <duflu> robert_ancell: Displaying a greeter... that's not Xorg based
[02:25] <robert_ancell> duflu, yes
[03:11] <robert_ancell> attente, around?
[03:13] <attente> robert_ancell: hey
[03:13] <robert_ancell> attente, I'm trying to merge GNOME Software, but ca63436b045f3928538c5d83b745022498f7d641 is causing difficulty
[03:14] <robert_ancell> In particular the change in src/plugins/gs-plugin-appstream.c where it does:
[03:14] <robert_ancell> +               plugin->priv->done_init = FALSE;
[03:14] <robert_ancell> +               gs_plugin_appstream_startup (plugin, NULL);
[03:14] <robert_ancell> They no longer exist so not sure what to replace them with
[03:16] <attente> robert_ancell: is this on master? i think there are two other flags that kind of replace this functionality. one is '_METADATA' and the other is '_PAYLOAD'
[03:17] <robert_ancell> attente, no, this is trying to merge gnome-3-20 into wip/ubuntu-xenial
[03:17] <robert_ancell> but yeah, master has entirely different code so I'm not sure what to do
[03:22] <attente> robert_ancell: part of me thinks that code should just call gs_plugin_setup () directly, but there might be some teardown involved
[04:48] <robert_ancell> attente, what does GS_PLUGIN_REFRESH_FLAGS_UI actually indicate?
[04:58] <attente> robert_ancell: it's there to tell the appstream plugin to re-initialize the AsStore object so that the directories associated with the appstream data can be watched again
[04:58] <attente> robert_ancell: related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1554023
[04:58] <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1554023 in livecd-rootfs (Ubuntu) "Perform an apt update if there is no appstream available" [Medium,Fix released]
[04:59] <robert_ancell> attente, so is it the same as GS_PLUGIN_REFRESH_FLAGS_METADATA?
[05:00] <robert_ancell> Because there was GS_PLUGIN_REFRESH_FLAGS_UPDATES which is the same as GS_PLUGIN_REFRESH_FLAGS_METADATA I think.
[05:00] <robert_ancell> But in _UI was treated as something different
[05:01] <attente> robert_ancell: i don't know, it sounds like they serve the same purpose, but i didn't confirm it
[05:05] <attente> robert_ancell: from what i remember, the original reason for adding that in the first place is because the AsStore object is monitoring some set of directories by adding inotify watches. but the problem is the directories created by the appstream refresh don't exist so the AsStore can't watch for them, and when those directories are created eventually,
[05:05] <attente> there's nothing to tell it that they were created
[05:05] <robert_ancell> attente, ok, thanks
[05:06] <attente> so that flag is basically the second step of a two-stage update
[05:06] <attente> where the second stage is to re-create the AsStore so that it can start adding watches on the new directories that were created by the appstream refresh

[12:26] <flexiondotorg> So the rush is on for GTK 3.20 in Ubuntu MATE for Beta on Thurs.
[12:26] <Laney> sorry to hear that, hope that you managed to get some sufficient antivirus software installed
[12:26] <jbicha> flexiondotorg: Beta isn't until next week
[12:27] <flexiondotorg> Laney, I cat'd EICAR.COM.TXT through my system this morning. All checks passed.
[12:28] <flexiondotorg> I must be recovering, right? ;-)
[12:29] <flexiondotorg> jbicha, Yes. But freeze is Thursday. I'd like to get "everything" (or close to it) done by then.
[12:52] <bregma> seb128, willcooke, have all the unity8-MIR tasks been assigned?  I have a little spare bandwidth to fill in holes if not....
[13:08] <jbicha> mterry: good morning, I can upload gedit now?
[13:12] <seb128> bregma, check on the trello board, we added comments to the cards where a maintainer got emailed (and maybe ask the most active contributor before starting just in case)
[13:12] <seb128> there are probably a few that are still unclaimed
[13:12] <seb128> especially in the recommends land
[13:12] <seb128> we worked from the list without recommends to start
[13:12] <seb128> since that's what is needed to install
[13:13] <bregma> I still don;t understand how you can generate an ISO without recommends
[13:14] <mterry> jbicha: I just approved gspell, so probably?  Was there anything else waiting on MIR?
[13:15] <mterry> jbicha: and good morning  :)
[13:15] <seb128> recommends are not depends
[13:15] <seb128> if things are not in main they don't get installed and are missing on the iso
[13:15] <seb128> but no error
[13:18] <jcastro> Sweet5hark: I'm using rev4 of your LO 5.2.0.4 snap, but I appear to be missing .desktop files, CLI launches just fine, known bug or should I report it?
[13:25] <jbicha> mterry: thanks, I believe the only other GNOME-related MIR is bug 1547395 which is blocking totem-pl-parser (auto-synced from Debian)
[13:25] <ubot5> bug 1547395 in luasocket (Ubuntu) "MIR: new dependencies for libquvi-scripts / libquvi" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1547395
[13:27] <mterry> jbicha: ah yes.  doko assigned that to the ubuntu-desktop team; I think he wanted you (welcome back on the team :)) to fill out the MIR boilerplate
[13:28] <seb128> jbicha, can that one be avoided? seems like quite a stack to maintain there
[13:29] <jbicha> I don't know much about it
[13:53] <willcooke> jcastro, known bug - there's no easy way to differentiate in the dash so users wouldn't know which version they're running.  Sweet5hark is thinking of ways to work around that - like maybe a different icon or something
[13:54] <willcooke> bregma, seb128 - no harm is filing MIR bugs for anything though right?
[13:55] <bregma> don't want to overload the MIR team
[13:55] <willcooke> bregma, would you also consider joining the MIR team?
[13:55] <willcooke> bregma, yeah, fair
[13:56] <bregma> I would consider it, but I assume it requres being a core dev
[13:57]  * willcooke hand-waves 
[13:57] <willcooke> probably
[13:57] <willcooke> I've got a couple of other folk who are being press-ganged in to it, so if we get stuck I'll let you know.
[13:58] <seb128> willcooke, that sounds like a problem that shouldn't be solved on Sweet5hark's side but on the unity side
[13:59] <seb128> willcooke, right, not harm, but again priority matters, if we dump optional and mandatory ones they might review in the wrong order and delay
[13:59] <willcooke> seb128, I wonder if we could borrow the idea from g-s and have the badge icon overlay?
[14:00] <qengho> Hi hi!
[14:00] <willcooke> morning qengho
[14:00] <seb128> hey qengho
[14:02] <Sweet5hark> seb128, jcastro, willcooke: yes, adding desktop files is still an issue -- as is having dpkg and snap installed in parallel. .desktop files arent hard per se from the libreoffice side. harder: how to do that with parallel installs.
[14:02] <jcastro> I didn't really see a need to keep the old installation around so I removed it
[14:03] <qengho> cking: have you heard of or had trouble with zfs-initramfs being un-installed in X or Y? I am quite sure I didn't touch it, but it was gone from my machine just some time over the summer, and this first reboot was a disaster.
[14:03] <Sweet5hark> FWIW, I thought about having an libreoffice-snap command in addition to plain libreoffice, to prevent the need for running /snap/bin/libreoffice
[14:03] <qengho> cking: Still in archive, of course. I'm looking through APT logs.
[14:03] <cking> qengho, nope, that's new to me
[14:04] <Sweet5hark> jcastro: there will be more then enough, trust me ;)
[14:05] <seb128> Sweet5hark, well if you install 2 versions of libreoffice it's normal you get 2 icons
[14:05] <seb128> if they have the same name and icon it's a bit unfortunate
[14:06] <seb128> but you could decide to tweak the name and/or icon
[14:08] <qengho> cking: Looks like some attempt to install zfs-zed, and then "apt -f install". Hard to read what happened. :\ OH well.
[14:08] <cking> hrm
[14:09] <qengho> I should pay more attention.
[14:09] <jcastro> Sweet5hark: well ideally you'd want us enthusiasts banging on the snap, not the old 5.0.x version xenial comes with right?
[14:09] <qengho> Some zfs-doc version dependency problem, shared between them.
[14:10] <qengho> cking: It might be my problem, but perhaps that zfs-doc Dep could be looser.
[14:14] <Sweet5hark> jcastro: sure. enthusiasts mostly know what they are doing. the non-enthusiasts who dont know what they are running accidentally running into things like bug 1612226 is much more eek.

[14:18] <seb128> Sweet5hark, well it's a bug, you have bugs in deb updates as well
[14:20] <Sweet5hark> seb128: well, on dpkg for a software the size of LibreOffice it takes about a week with 50.000 downloads from the ppa to be reasonably sure its not doing something terrible. We dont have that yet for snaps.
[14:23] <Sweet5hark> sure the solution is get more folks on snaps. But its a balance: If your browser or media player crashes you restart, reopen the file/stream and on you go. OTOH, people actually have data and state in LibreOffice documents.
[14:23] <seb128> well, the format shouldn't matter and upstream is shipping it so they should have some confidence
[14:23] <seb128> or libreoffice upstream is acting reckless with their users

[15:05] <willcooke> mhall119, not yet, won't get looked at this cycle
[15:05] <willcooke> beside, once u8 lands in the iso that is probably a solution
[15:09] <mhall119> any estimate on when it will get on the ISO? Is it still going through MIR (confusion ensues) process?

[15:33] <qengho> seb128: All of Ubuntu as an organization has a gratis API key that Google gave us, to give our browsers access to Google API. Firefox and Chromium shares a "secret" key, and all of our users together get N API calls per month. We just hit the natural default ceiling that they set when GOOG gave us the key.
[15:33] <seb128> ah ok
[15:34] <seb128> do we have stats of the websites our user hit the api through?
[15:34] <seb128> also is that a monthly quota? when do we hit the ceiling?
