flocculantseb128: morning :) please don't shoot the messenger, ochosi said you'd be his go to guy for this, seems there is an issue with advanced partitioning on the installer - ochosi has done an mp for it, bug 162225806:21
ubot5bug 1622258 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Partition creation box during installation is too small" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/162225806:21
seb128hey flocculant, ubiquity is rather cyphermox's06:23
flocculantseb128: ok - I usually hassle cypher mox too - but this is more a visual thing (perhaps)06:24
flocculantanyway - he'll see the pingeventually :)06:25
seb128yeah, but it's a trivial change and it's an ubiquity upload06:25
seb128right06:25
flocculantaah ok - yea it is an ubiquity upload for sure06:25
seb128let's see with him, the change is fine it's just that he might have other ubiquity changes pending and he's familiar with the package workflow where I'm not06:25
flocculantright - thanks :)06:25
seb128yw!06:26
flocculantI'll try and catch him later today - I assume he's not on holiday06:26

davmor2seb128: no idea I was going to try in a vm latter to check out low dpi but I actually think it is just the a11y icon is the wrong one to be honest I just added that 4k incase it was related to that too09:04
seb128I just tried on my laptop in virtualbox and don't see the issue09:04

seb128hey flexiondotorg09:12
seb128"this bug" -> stack of urls09:12
flexiondotorgThey are references to the same issue.09:12
seb128urls about themes09:12
flexiondotorgI'll explain :-)09:12
seb128themes which aren't ours09:12
seb128yes please09:13
seb128better to start by explaining rather than dumping a stack of github theme urls09:13
flexiondotorgLibreOffice when using GTK3 (default in Ubuntu 16.10) is putting a white border around the tool bars.09:13
flexiondotorgThis can't be styled by using LO classes :-(09:13

seb128happyaron, that n-m bug, with what files did you try? only .p12 ones?09:20
seb128happyaron, the upstream bug was about those and the comments suggest it's fixed for them but not for other formats like .pem09:20
seb128happyaron, otherwise I would recommend just renaming the bug/stating it fixed the .p12 case and to open a new bug for remaining issues and not block the SRU on that with the rational that it's fixing some of the issues and creating no regressions09:26
flexiondotorgseb128, Sorry. Was in a meeting.09:27
flexiondotorg#1580537 is not the issue.09:27
flexiondotorgI've already added a similar style for Ubuntu MATE.09:28

Trevinhotedg, seb128: any news in the unity7 systemd landing?11:23
seb128Trevinho, don't ask me, I've nothing to do with it, I though you were the one having it in a silo?11:47
=== davmor2_ is now known as davmor2
Trevinhoseb128: I know, but you requested some changes from Ted... So I was wondering if something happened12:31
seb128Trevinho, right, I mostly asked about those but I didn't see him reply/comment12:32
tedgseb128: Oh, I must have missed them, sorry.13:31
* tedg looks13:31
seb128hey tedg, I commented on IRC, not on the mp, maybe I should have done that13:32
tedgseb128: Ah, okay. Were they with the libindicator MR?13:33
seb128tedg, iirc my comment was that indicator-common was a poor name if the binary is not for common files but for the systemd unit only13:33
seb128better to use indicator-systemd13:33
seb128or similar13:33
ogra_indicator-ted13:34
seb128or indicator-prejob13:34
tedgseb128: Ah, we've been talking about adding different "indicator things" in a common place but have had no place for it. So I was just starting one, I don't expect it to be just the systemd target long term.13:34
* seb128 slaps ogra_13:34
* ogra_ grins13:34
seb128tedg, then the description is confusing13:34
tedgseb128: K, I'll update it13:34
seb128thanks13:34
seb128in fact I already had commented saying that on the mp13:35
seb128tedg, Trevinho, I don't think the description thing is important/a blocker for landing so feel free to not block on that13:35
seb128it's just that the -common includes only the systemd target so I was wondering if it's really a -common13:36
seb128if it's meant to be fine, just land it13:36
Trevinhoseb128: so... I can rebuild everything if you ted change the names (and I can update the unity branch too)13:36
Trevinhoseb128: once it's done I?m fine to land, but we need to you for publishing it13:37
tedgI updated the description, but I think we're gonna keep the package name the same.13:37
tedgI expect we'll have other stuff for it.13:37
seb128k, acked13:38
seb128Trevinho, let me know if there is a button I should press next13:38
tedgIs Mate going GTK3?13:39
Trevinhotedg: ok, let's keep that common, so we don't have to update unity too13:39
* tedg really wants to kill that dual GTK build13:39
Trevinhotedg: mate should be mostly gtk3 nowadays13:39
Trevinhomuktupavels: ^13:40
muktupavelsTrevinho: ?13:58
Trevinhomuktupavels: see tedg's question about gtk2/313:58
muktupavelsabout MATE?14:00
muktupavelsTrevinho: I am not MATE developer... I don't know if they have switched to GTK+ 3.14:03
seb128Trevinho, you probably want to ask to flexiondotorg14:12
flexiondotorgtedg, Yes, MATE in Yakkety is GTK3+ only.14:13
tedgCool, so probably too late for Yakkety, but we should drop GTK2 then in Z*14:13
flexiondotorgtedg, Drop GTK2 from what?14:19
tedgflexiondotorg: libindicator14:19
flexiondotorgAh, right.14:19
flexiondotorgOnly Lubuntu using/needing it I think now.14:19
tedgIt has a kinda crazy dual build.14:19
tedgI thought they switched to Qt?14:20
flexiondotorgtsimonq2, How is your switch to LXQt coming along?14:20
flexiondotorgtedg, Not as of 16.10 Beta 1 they hadn't.14:20

Trevinhoseb128: when you want you can hit publish https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/183915:12
Trevinhopitti: but is that enough? I mean, now that unity7 is going to use systemd (see silo above) I don't find that to be really racy... The only problem is that is not "stopped" on graphics environment15:13
Trevinhostop15:13
tedgpitti: Looks good to me.15:13
pittitedg: cheers; so I'll now figure out how to land through bileto :) (about time..)15:21
pittitedg: btw, is there still some blocker for your indicators landing other than landing unity? something I can help unblock?15:21
seb128Trevinho, "Publish failed: Pending binary packages"15:23
seb128Trevinho, some binaries are not published yet, need to retry later15:23
Trevinhoseb128: I guess they're still publishing... Sorry I just reacted to the bileto change15:23
pittiseb128: sorry for being n00b and lazynet; I created https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/194115:25
pittiseb128: is there anything else for me to do until builds, britney, tests etc. start?15:25
seb128pitti, click "build"?15:25
pittioh, these are buttons -- thanks15:25
seb128yw!15:25
pittiTrevinho: I added a task for that "unit stop when session crashes" part, that's not in unity-gtk-session15:26
pittiTrevinho: indeed, it's less of a problem once unity7 gets converted, and no problem at all once we are completely done, but IMHO it's still cleaner/safer that way until we actually land it15:27
Trevinhopitti: it's landing like... now? :-)15:27
Trevinhopitti: at least... waiting for paackages to be published15:27
pittiTrevinho: ooh! is it? does that need the indicators too, or can unity land separately?15:27
* pitti hugs Trevinho15:28
Trevinhopitti: https://requests.ci-train.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/183915:28
Trevinhopitti: i wanted to land that for weeeks, but.... it took more than expected15:28

willcooke* Got flights for sprint booked.15:40
willcooke* Helped partially resolve bug 1580882 by suggesting to folks to try the latest alsa driver daily snapshot packages. Folks asked about trying to backport the commit that fixes things, but without access to hardware that I can reproduce this with, I think it may be easier to mark this fixed once Xenial has the yakkety kernel.15:40
willcooke* Work ongoing to try and get Orca speaking in oem-config... Seems to work fine with the Mate version, but not with the vanilla Ubuntu image.15:40
willcooke* Assigned bug 1574324 to Simon, since he wrote the patches that are breaking thigns for people, since I don't really understand the code and I don't have hardware that I can reproduce this bug with to try and experiment.15:40

tkamppeter- cups-filters: Continued bug fixing on cups-browsed:15:42
tkamppeter   o Let all queues pointing to remote CUPS printers have a local PPD file so that the options appear in the print dialogs and printer setup tools can even modify the defaults and the modifications get saved for the next cups-browsed sessions.15:42
tkamppeter   o Make load-balancing printer clustering also work correctly with remote printers broadcasted by the legacy CUPS method (not by Bonjour).15:42
tkamppeter   o Shortened the IPP access timeouts so that cups-browsed does not hang so long on shutdown if a remote server gets inaccessible.15:42
tkamppeter   o Let the implicitclass backend repeat the job only after a delay when it fails to send the data to the remote printer.15:42

seb128thanks15:48
jbichaI think we ought to decide whether to revert fonts-liberation to version 1 like Debian did https://bugs.debian.org/83527315:50
ubot5Debian bug 835273 in fonts-liberation "fonts-liberation: Liberation 2 fonts poorly hinted" [Normal,Fixed]15:50
jbichado I talk to gunnarhj about that? or someone else?15:50
seb128who did the update?15:51
seb128but yeah, Gunnar is probably a good person to talk to about that one15:52
jbichathe update was done by auto-sync but Debian reverted a week after import freeze15:53
jbichawillcooke: is the slideshow your dept now? https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gnome-marketing/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/ubiquity-1610/+merge/30557815:55
willcookejibel, not really.  I just do the Ubuntu updates, cyphermox does the real work15:55
jbichaok15:56
attenteanyone would happen to know an easy way to get autotools to use a custom prefix at runtime?15:58
seb128attente, autotools are a buildtime tool I don't think they have an impact on runtime?16:00
seb128said differently I don't think you can16:01
desrtattente: --prefix and DESTDIR16:01
attenteseb128: the problem here is that gnome-builder needs them16:01
desrtit's really all you have16:01
attentethey are actual runtime depends16:01
seb128"them"?16:01
attentethe autotools16:01
desrtohh.16:01
desrtyou have autotools themselves installed in a weird prefix?16:01
attentelike i can jhbuild bootstrap them16:01
seb128I misunderstood your question16:01
desrtthat ought to 'just work'16:02
seb128desrt apparently did as well16:02
desrtit's a bit of an odd question16:02
seb128but yeah, just append the other dir to your path?16:02
desrtbootstrapping autotools is a massive recipe for disaster16:02
seb128so that version is found first?16:02
attenteso here's the situation16:02
desrtalso: taking a autotools .deb and moving it into a snapped world is just not gonna work at all16:02
attentedesrt: yes, exactly16:02
desrtdon't do that :)16:03
desrtyou'd be better off bootstrapping it16:03
desrtbut here's the rub: don't16:03
attenteso adding it to stage-packages is impossible16:03
attenteand bootstrapping it is a disaster16:03
desrta snapped gnome-builder is almost useless, and for exactly the same reason as bootstrapping autotools is a recipe for much pain: you need deps to build software, and there is not going to be enough of them in your virtual world16:03
desrtevery single person who wants to use gnome-builder to do more than hello world is going to need libsomething-dev, which will not be in your snap16:04
attentemaybe i should've looked at another module to snap instead :/16:04
desrtgnome-builder is a weird case.  it really ought to have read-only access to all of /usr/include /usr/share and /usr/lib16:04
desrtin which case you should just have autotools installed there16:05
attenteright16:05
desrti know that's not really in the spirit of how snaps work, but development tools are sort of a different story...16:05
desrteven on macos, installing xcode means that you get a bunch of extra stuff appearing in this new directory called /usr, for example16:05
attentemaybe we need a new interface for snapped devtools16:05
desrtin general, i think you're sort of on to the right idea here: don't try to snap gnome-builder yet16:06
desrtit's far far better for people to jhbuild that16:06
desrtand, indeed, the target market for gnome-builder is exactly the sort of people who won't mind as much to get their hands dirty with jhbuild16:06
attenteyeah. it's a pity though. it seems to mostly work with the exception of the actual project building16:08
desrtlol.16:08
desrt"it does everything, except for that thing that it was designed to do!"16:08
attente:P16:08
desrt"...sure looks pretty, tho"16:08
jbichawe'll just have to call it something other than Builder?16:10
desrtit's still a very nice text editor :)16:11
