tjaaltonrobert_ancell: hi, is xmir ready to go in xserver 1.19?03:02
tjaaltonff is the 10th03:03
robert_ancelltjaalton, sort of - when is 1.19 to be released?03:03
robert_ancelltjaalton, I don't think it will be reveiwed that fast03:03
tjaaltonyeah03:03
robert_ancellI'd given up getting it done for 1.19 in time03:03
tjaaltonthen again it's separate from the rest so perhaps it could be slipped in later03:05
duflurobert_ancell: There are some unreleased changes in the Xmir 1.18 branch that are ready for release. I was only waiting to hear if they broke vivid+freiza first03:07
dufluAnd they did not (?)03:07
dufluBut good news - I have no more Xmir work pending03:08

seb128Trevinho, I didn't file one, I asked on IRC if that was known and you said you already had a fix pending for it so I didn't bother12:26

seb128Trevinho, thanks12:27
seb128do you need one?12:27
flexiondotorgo/12:37
flexiondotorgwillcooke, What is the status of enabling low graphics mode in 16.10?12:38
flexiondotorgIs there a mechanism to expressly enable it yet?12:38
seb128boot into a vm? ;-)12:39
flexiondotorgI'm being poked by the Artica devs.12:39
seb128what is artica?12:39
flexiondotorgseb128, Well, I can do that here right now. Restrictive environment :-(12:39
flexiondotorgArtica is/will be the successor to X2Go.12:39
seb128k12:40
flexiondotorgThe main X2Go devs create it as a new project about 18 months ago.12:40
flexiondotorgThey've seen the low graphics announcement and are very interested.12:40
seb128well it's currently not meant to be an option12:40
seb128you just need to set UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1 in the env though12:41
seb128will made a g+ post with a small systemd job that does that12:41
flexiondotorgYeah, I saw willcooke's blog.12:42
flexiondotorgThere was mention of a systemd unit for 16.10.12:42
flexiondotorgJust wondering if they should wait on that or roll they on "enablement".12:42
flexiondotorg's/on/own/'12:43
seb128I'm not sure to understand the usecase12:43
seb128they probably don't want a setting/control in the session do they?12:44
seb128they just want remote sessions to be lowgfx by default12:44
seb128no?12:44
willcookeflexiondotorg, sorry was at lunch, reading back log12:46
flexiondotorgseb128, Well they want to ensure any remote connection via NX to Unity 7 has the low graphics mode enabled.12:47
flexiondotorgAnd typically, they are setting up server dedicated to the task of remote desktop sessions.12:48
seb128right, so they don't want an user setting the user has to go tickle in settings after logging12:48
seb128tickle->check12:48
willcookeflexiondotorg, there is no systemd user unit yet12:48
flexiondotorgSo a system wide enablement is suitable for many of their deployments.12:48
flexiondotorgwillcooke, OK.12:48
willcookebut it should be automatic ish - i.e. Unity detects that it's not got the full opengl stack and switches to it.  Trevinho, hikiko that's right isn't it?12:49
flexiondotorgseb128, Correct. Not a user setting. A session/system-wide setting.12:49
seb128well the job does that12:49
seb128  if ! /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p; then12:49
seb128    compiz_profile="ubuntu-lowgfx"12:49
seb128  fi12:49
seb128is their env claiming to support 3d?12:49
seb128I guess if it does we could had another hack in that script12:50
Trevinhoseb128: that check also takes care of the UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1 value12:50
seb128like "if <something that define remote sessions> then lowgfx"12:50
hikikowillcooke, reading12:50
Trevinhoseb128: so.... that var would be enough to be lowgfx12:50
Trevinhoor, LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 too12:50
seb128Trevinho, right, but it would be nicer if remote sessions would work without having to set some env12:51
hikikoyes it should autodetect it at startup12:51
seb128just out of the box12:51
Trevinhoseb128: ah... sure, I mean if there's something in the environment claiming that, it would be nice12:51
seb128but dunno if they claim supported 3d12:51
seb128ed->ing12:51
hikikobut you can export LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 too12:51
flexiondotorgThanks guys. That's great.12:53
willcookehikiko, does that affect things other than Unity? (LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE)12:53
seb128willcooke, flexiondotorg, I guess in those setups the session is started locally on a box that does 3d rendering but we want to force lowgfx because clients connect to it and have to export the display?12:53
flexiondotorgI'll feed that back, I think think can be added to the NX session initialization.12:53
seb128right, just tell them to set UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=112:53
hikikowillcooke, yes it forces software rendering12:53
hikikoif you don't want that12:54
hikikoyou can just open ccsm12:54
hikikoand select the unity_low_gfx profile in profiles12:54
hikikothen you have all the low gfx settings running in your GPU12:55

xclaesseI made 3 upgrades 14.04->16.04 over the last 6 months, so at different stages of dev, latest one was last weekend (so when officially supported)... they all failed myserably... Not sure if I'm cursed or if there are serious issues. It's sad because I had really few issues with ubuntu upgrades in the past :(13:24
xclaessemanaged to rescue with a bunch of "apt-get install -f" and fighting dependencies issues13:25
seb128do you have details on the issues/errors you hit?13:25
seb128could be due to ppa you are using?13:25
xclaesseseb128, the first was before 16.04 release, so didn't complain. The 2nd indeed had some special settings, ppa, etc, so didn't complain neither13:26
xclaesseseb128, but the last one was really just a basic installation of 14.04 that I never thouched13:26
seb128well even with those it's good to at least mention the issue13:27
xclaesseI haven't noted the exact issues, I understand that won't help you13:27
xclaessethat was blablabla cannot be configured because dependency blabla is not yet installed13:28
xclaessestuff like that13:28
xclaessethe classicaly dep nightmare13:28
xclaesseat that point the only terminal I could use was the tty1... so couldn't copy/paste errors anyway (could have taken a picture)13:29
seb128the upgrade logs stay in /var/log usually13:30
xclaesseseb128, ah... ok will check that this evening when I get home then13:30
seb128you didn't get an ubuntu-bug prompt to report the bug?13:31
seb128xclaesse, but otherwise see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUpdateManager , /var/log/dist-upgrade/ has the log from the upgrade and should have the apt output etc13:32

LaneyTrevinho: do you need any more from meon the unity/systemd thingy?15:18
TrevinhoLaney: if you think is fine all I need is your approval to both the MP and the landing...15:18
LaneyI don't understand all of the MP15:18
Laneyyou should get andyrock to review it too15:19
Laneyand/or ted_g15:20
Trevinhowell, tedg then... Hey! Can you re-review my systemd branch? :-)15:21
LaneyTrevinho: I approved based on the bits I do understand15:22
Laneybut the whole thing is a bit beyond me atm15:22
Laneyso some more eyes are appreciated15:22
seb128Laney, Trevinho, do we have a ffe for that or was the one you said was a bugfix? (it seems complex and late so ffe worthy in principle)15:27
LaneyNo15:28
Trevinhoseb128: Laney called that a bug-fix...15:28
LaneyYou can get a second opinion if you want15:28
LaneyI don't think the current situation is one that you would want to release with15:28
Laneyso I would approve it :)15:28
seb128k, wfm15:30
Laneymaybe it's fixing a bug by implementing a new feature15:30
Laneynot sure15:30
Trevinhothere are no new features there, a part some calls for systemd dbus manager15:31
seb128I'm never sure if complex enough changes justify needing a ffe15:31
seb128Trevinho, well, if you ported a big codebase from dbus-glib to gdbus there wouldn't be any "feature" either15:32
seb128but it's the sort of changes that are complex enough in spirit are features15:32
Trevinhoyeah, I agree15:32
seb128or at least should be discouraged by the freeze15:32
LaneyI think I would push back if there were no bug being fixed15:32
TrevinhoI mean, if you want a FFe is fine, I juts jumped in this boat to get things properly done and reduce troubles, so... I'm fine with everything you decide15:33
Laneyand it's okay to ask for one in any case if you want the release team to make a call15:33
Laneyor more eyes to ask you to test things you might have missed or something15:33
seb128well, I'm all for avoiding paperwork15:34
seb128just feels like cheating not asking for one :p15:34
seb128anyway let's avoid extra work and just pretend it's a bugfix then15:34
