ochosiLaney: morning mate! quickly wanted to check in with you about the headerbar-as-toolbar patches i mentioned a while ago08:29
ochosibasically i wanted to know which apps will keep their no-headerbar patches08:29
Laneyhi ochosi08:30
ochosiand then i can start adding the single-line patches to them which adds the .toolbar class and then i could also provide a patch for ambiance/radiance08:30
LaneyI'm not planning to do any more or less of those08:30
Laneyit would be nice to standardise the classes used on them, so +1 if you want to work on that08:31
mitya57jbicha, oh right, I was not able to find that bug because it was marked Fix Released in Ubuntu08:35

willcookedavmor2, could you take this for a spin as well at some point:  https://code.launchpad.net/~willcooke/ubuntu-themes/hidpiicons09:43
willcookedavmor2, get a local copy of that branch and then you can copy it over /usr/share/theme/foo09:44
willcookesuggest making a back up copy of the default version first :)09:44
davmor2willcooke: will do09:44
davmor2willcooke: I assume we need to test all the default installed themes too right and not just the default09:46
willcookedavmor2, Ambiance and Radiance09:47

jbichaseb128: Laney: Debian handles the official-source override in gnome-software so I thought we'd just copy what they did12:07
seb128jbicha, "would"?12:07
seb128I guess it doesn't matter much where the override is, it's just nowhere atm from what I can see12:07
seb128also changelog could have mentioned that ;-)12:08
TrevinhoLaney: oh.... archive admin? Like?12:16
Trevinhooh, pitti or didrocks of course :-)12:19
TrevinhoCan you publish this https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/1839 ? :-)12:19
Trevinhoor seb128  too....12:19
seb128?12:19
Trevinhoseb128: that ticket needs an archive admin approval according to Laney, if you can publish it...12:20
Trevinhoas there's a new binary package (indicator-common)12:20
seb128let me have a look12:20
seb128"A package that has files needed to work with the indicators."12:20
* seb128 doesn't understand the description12:21
seb128tedg, Trevinho, the naming seems unfortunate and the description doesn't make sense12:23
seb128indicator-common would suggests something including arch all files used by indicators12:24
seb128but it's only a systemd target12:24
seb128wouldn't it be better to name it indicator-systemd?12:24
seb128or indicator-user-session12:25
seb128Trevinho, also why did you move the recommends to another binary and why is that not mentioned in the unity changelog?12:27
Trevinhoseb128: these are all tedg changes... I just inherited these and update the code side. So... I can answer. I'm open to fix btw, so just let me know what to do in review please12:41
seb128let's wait for ted12:42
ogra_hmm, why is my panel showing all white font in xenial with the radiance theme ?12:59
willcookeLaney, https://code.launchpad.net/~willcooke/ubuntu-themes/hidpiicons/+merge/30521912:59
ogra_i cant read anything today ...12:59
ogra_seems to have come with some package update (i havennt logged out or rebooted since days though ... but yesterday the font and indicators were definitely black on white)13:01
davmor2willcooke, seb128, Laney: Question on a fresh install if I click on the indicator I Add a vpn network and it is greyed out but when I go to edit connection I can add a pptp vpn connection so does the entry only work on openvpn?13:01
seb128ogra_, intel driver bug I would say, try restarting the xsession13:01
ogra_bah, k13:01
* ogra_ doesnt really want to restart atm ... i'll live with it then 13:02
seb128davmor2, I'm not sure to parse that correctly but we install network-manager-pptp by default but not -openvpn13:02
seb128oh, I see what you mean13:03
seb128dunno, maybe happyaron does13:03
ogra_hah !13:03
ogra_seems only opeing the dash fixed it13:03
seb128weird13:03
willcookedavmor2, hmm, sounds like a bug.  Let's mentioned it to awe in the meeting and see if he knows13:09
davmor2seb128, willcooke, Laney: upstart still seems to be starting some things if I'm reading pstree correctly is that expected13:29
seb128yes13:30
seb128some landing are still pending13:30
davmor2seb128: cool thanks for the update13:30
Laneyjbicha: seb128: We decided to move ubuntu overrides out of packages in general a few years ago13:35
superm1attente: any chance you'll be moving to g-s 3.21?  it would be nice to be able to fix bug 158958514:10
ubot5bug 1589585 in gnome-software (Ubuntu Yakkety) "Ubuntu Software tab Installed refreshing endlessly every 2 seconds" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/158958514:11
seb128superm1, that's probably one for robert_ancell, he took over g-s14:15
attentesuperm1: not sure, haven't really looked at it in a while. would it be possible to backport patches instead?14:15
seb128but we didn't even manage to rebase on current 3.20 yet...14:15
seb128also what attente said14:15
seb128attente, hey! how are you?14:15
seb128attente, did you fix your libjpeg issue?14:16
superm1i expect it would be a pretty big patch14:16
seb128:-/14:16
attentehey seb128, i know what the problem is there (for the libjpeg issue) but still need to make the needed changes there14:16
seb128attente, k, at least it's something ;-) was it due to the fact you said you were using the system jhbuild?14:17
seb128superm1, it's a bit frustrating that such bugs don't get fixed in stable series :-/14:17
superm1it's pretty much this https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/src/plugins/gs-plugin-fwupd.c?id=1bd988749e68e88069092a754d30f827c7270765 plus other fixes that happened in 0.2114:17
superm1it was a big change to use fwupdclient14:17
seb128that one commit doesn't seem too scary14:18
attenteseb128: the libjpeg issue was because i was using a debian container for the build and libjpeg-dev there depends on libjpeg62 instead14:18
seb128ah14:18
superm1no?  I thought several hundred lines was intimidating enough.  there's others on top of it too (like this one which fixes the actual issue https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/src/plugins/gs-plugin-fwupd.c?id=a39c27561f47e190fa8eb4164570c55f84928692), but i guess they'd all be contained to gs-plugin-fwupd.c ..14:19
seb128superm1, I'm not saying it's trivial and might be difficult for a SRU/xenial but it's self contained to 1 file and has been tested in the new version so should be fine for yakkety14:20
superm1ideally would like to fix for xenial too though :/14:21
superm1as we talked before i am planning to bring newer fwupd with other features and fixes back to xenial in an SRU14:21
seb128+114:21
jbichaLaney: yes but in this case, Debian's gnome-software sets the gsettings override for Ubuntu already, see lines 18-23 and 40-42 of https://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/pkg-gnome/desktop/unstable/gnome-software/debian/rules?view=markup14:28
jbichaI guess Debian added that to help Tanglu out14:28
jbichasuperm1: updating to gnome-software 3.21 probably means dropping the aptdaemon plugin, but while it fixes a bunch of issues, it does regress a few things14:30
LaneyDoesn't matter if ubuntu-settings has the same thing14:30
seb128jbicha, why does it mean dropping it?14:32
jbichathere doesn't seem much point in duplicating the setting; any derivative that needs to change that setting will need to change a lot of things14:32
seb128jbicha, also I saw you write in a bug that you were tired of the g-s/xenial bugs, do you have specific issues in mind?14:32
LaneyA derivative should install their override with a higher priority14:34
jbichabug 1551599 and bug 157542614:36
ubot5bug 1551599 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "Remove button missing after package installation" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/155159914:36
ubot5bug 1575426 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "Gnome Software doesn't update after refreshing system repositories" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/157542614:36
seb128jbicha, I guess the refresh one has to do with the aptdaemon backend and is not fixed by the new serie but might work if you use packagekit?14:38
seb128the other one seems minor/something we should fix on xenial if we can14:38
jbichayes, both those issues are fixed by switching to PK14:39
jbichathey both sounded easy (but high impact) to me but I couldn't figure out how to fix them nor has anyone else yet so I guess they might not be easy after all14:40
superm1it's not out of the question though to move to PK plugin in development let it bake for a while and then SRU over to that in xenial though right?14:40
seb128I don't think anyone knowing the code looked at them14:40
seb128I would expect the button one to be easy14:40
seb128superm1, it's out of the question to do that14:41
Laneyattente definitely looked at that one back then14:41
seb128I though he had a fix for it14:41
superm1:/14:41
seb128I suspect it's fixed in that rebase that never landed14:41
seb128but I might be wrong :p14:41
Laneycould be14:42
jbichasuperm1: it requires upgrading to PackageKit 1.* which is a major change, impacting several different packages so not possible for xenial14:42
seb128superm1, the aptcc backend in packagekit 0.8 is not good enough and SRUing 1.0 to xenial is no go since it drops plugins support and would make click stop working which is needed on touch14:42
superm1oh wow that's a pretty big mess then14:42
seb128that + soname change and never rebuilding/fixed a stack of components14:42
seb128what? g-s 3.20?14:43
seb128the aptdaemon backend is mostly working14:43
superm1i meant moving over to 3.21 + PK plugin instead of aptdaemon14:43
superm1didn't realize how much impact it had14:43
seb128well, we landing packagekit1 for yakkety so it's fine there14:44
seb128but yeah, no way we are going to SRU that to xenial14:44
jbichaI wasn't expecting us to switch to g-s 3.21+PK until Z14:47
seb128yeah, it's looking like that way14:49
seb128it's late now to change backend14:49
seb128and we didn't get any g-s landing in ages14:49
seb128the 3.20 rebase was never uploaded14:49
seb128it's a bit of an annoying situation :-/14:49
jbicharebasing the 3.20 stuff is very difficult; I don't know if something like 'gbp pq' would have made things easier14:55
seb128dunno either14:55
seb128but attente did a rebase14:55
seb128so did robert_ancell14:56
seb128unsure why none of those landed...14:56
seb128I think at least attente had concerns that there would be issues with the merges/rebase because it was complex and the resulting diff was non trivial enough to give confidence it would be safe14:57
seb128we should have landed it in yakkety at least at the time though14:57
seb128willcooke, do you know if robert_ancell is still having that in a corner of his todolist? or is that only libsnap-glib work currently?14:58
willcookeseb128, on a call, what's "that"?14:59
seb128willcooke, no hurry, rebasing g-s on the current 3.20 stable version14:59
willcookeah right, sorry14:59
willcookeyes, he said it's mostly done14:59
seb128good14:59
willcookelemme check my logs14:59
seb128so might still land for yakkety?14:59
willcookerobert_ancell> So the upstream status is good, the rebasing is done, though I haven't been 100% confident that I've merged some of the update code changes correctly. They weren't done by me, but attente said they seem to look OK.15:00

jcastrohey seb128, has anyone on the desktop team thought about what a wallpaper interface might look like for snaps?16:37
jcastrolike, for example, omgubuntu posted about all the ubuntu wallpapers yesterday, and I was wondering why we couldn't have wallpaper packs as snaps16:37
jcastrobut then it's like, how does the wallpaper dialog find the right place to find the wallpapers?16:37
seb128jcastro, unsure what sort of interface you are thinking about, the datas are in your user dir and easily available so you could install it from a snap and select the background you want with the current tools17:11
jcastroright, but the user needs to know to look into /snap/whatever right?17:14
seb128yeah...17:20
qenghojcastro: There's no good way. Sorry.17:21
jcastrook, but if I were to make say "ubuntu-wallpapers", I could just document where the exact place is right?17:22
jcastro"then go into the capplet and add this directory" would still allow users to get like, our fresh community wallpapers and so on17:23
