happyaronjbicha: I'm fine with these change00:29
jbichahappyaron: ok, if you commit to git, I'll upload to yakkety01:46
jbichaI think the "files were not installed by accident" refers to gnome-software's /usr/share/appdata/org.gnome.Software.appdata.xml01:49
jbichathe -X.a rule kept that file from being installed01:50

larsu(he's standing next to me right now talking to people ;) )09:25
ximionLaney: or are the issues gone with LDC now? (if so, I'll report that back to the thread on D.learn)09:25

ximionstupid connection with stupid captive portal09:32
LaneyI was like xi TAB TABT ABTABTABTBATB09:32
LaneyWHY DOESN'T IT WORK09:32
Laneythen I threw my lapto out of the window in a rage09:33
Laneyso I had to go to the shop and get a new one09:33
Laneyand on the way I got eaten by a giant whale09:33
Laneybut luckily there is wifi inside the whale09:33
ximionand network with static IPs, so currently I have one IP for three devices (and need to decide which one gets internet, and that's $work_device right now, not $personal_laptop ^^)09:33

Laneyalso, oops, the website isn't syncing09:35
* Laney checks why that is09:35
ximionbtw, apparently rsvg uses fontconfig in the background, which was leading to awesome crashes when I was changing the FC context when rendering fonts09:35
ximionI wonder if there are also interferences when not changing the context and just using it from multiple threads09:36

Laneynot that helpful09:42
ximionLaney: gdb would be helpful on that...09:44
ximioncould always be that the database is busted09:44
ximionI have never seen this issue, but that doesn't mean anything09:44
ximion<ximion> Laney: gdb would be helpful on that...09:44
ximion[11:43] <ximion> could always be that the database is busted09:44
ximion[11:44] <ximion> I have never seen this issue, but that doesn't mean anything09:44
Laneyit worked after09:45
ximionLaney: btw, https://forum.dlang.org/thread/tgypnluirhwmeqwuzcgb@forum.dlang.org has some helpful advice on how to deal with the GC and C code, but I always followed that anyway or it doesn't apply09:45
ximionso, potential memory-leaky bugs might be in the only component I haven't looked at: The GIR bindings09:46
Laneymmm09:47
ximionLaney: LMDB is on ext4? Not on some weird FS...09:48
ximionoh09:48
ximion"Do not have open an LMDB database twice in the same process at the same time. Not even from a plain open() call - close()ing it breaks flock() advisory locking."09:48
ximionwe violate that with ContentsStore09:48
ximionapart from that, all Caveats shouldn't apply http://lmdb.tech/doc/09:49
Laneynothing weird on the system09:51
ximionI will change the ContentsStore to being shared by all threads again when I'm back home09:51
Laneyyeah moving ContentsStore to the class would be a godod idea anyway09:51
ximionreopening it every time was a failed optimization anyway09:51
Laneyotherwise, why not wait until ldc is fixed in debian before releasing?09:53
ximionLaney: because others are using asgen too ;-) - and I compile it for Debian with a recent LDC already09:55
ximionbut yeah, we could wait for LDC just as well, and then maybe even make asgen LDC-only...09:56
Laneythen you can default to it at least09:57
ximionbtw, the Debian blocker bug was promoted to A-blocker: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/1774 - I hope someone is working on it09:57
ximionof course the bisect returned one of the largest patches in the Git history as the culprit ^^09:57
ximionlooks like a pretty tricky issue, unfortunately09:59
Laneyya, saw that09:59
Laneyfun09:59
ximionin general, when it's not a Git snapshot, the LDC quality is pretty good, I now think it's much better than GDCs overall10:00
ximion(more people are working on LDC, so...)10:00
LaneyTrevinho: looks like gnome-terminal isn't being matched in yakkety again :-/ could you look when you get some time please?10:37
Trevinhoyeah, altough my yakkety VM broke... need a new one :-/10:38
LaneyO_O10:38
TrevinhoLaney: not sure what happens, but once I boot, when lightdm starts CPU starts spinning... Like forever10:39
TrevinhoLaney: I can't connect to SSH; see anythging from tty1... So I can't either see antyhing in top10:39
Trevinhoand underastand what's using all my beloved cores10:39
ximionLaney: btw, you could of course demote the error for invalid metadata licenses to a warning, but fixing the stuff would be just as easy, I think10:48
ximion(except for gnome-terminal, where the maintainer is weird)10:48
Laneyximion: mmm, I would rather you as person pushing for the change would write bugs at least for gnome upstreams10:51
LaneyI think it's bogus but I also don't really want to deviate on it10:51
ximionLaney: it's definitely bogus in Europe, but I have no idea about legal stuff in other countries, so IMHO it's better to have it explicitly than not having it10:53
ximionI will file bugs10:54
ximionand as soon as the new AppStream logo is out, there will be another blogpost about it10:54
ximionalso on Planet GNOME then :)10:54

ricotzLaney, hi, are there plans to backport appstream 0.10 to xenial11:04
Laneyricotz: yes11:04
ricotzofficially or just in backports?11:04
Laneywhat does officially mean?11:04
ricotzI mean as in -updates/-proposed11:05
Laneynope11:05
Laneyit's a transition for one11:05
ricotzI see, so -backports will be required to use it11:06
ricotzLaney, on the regard did you look why "dub" is failing on e.g arm6411:07
Laneynope11:07
ricotzok11:08
ximionLaney: https://plus.google.com/+KenVermette/posts/dK8ZXZriLmV - Ken Vermette11:08
ximionwas a kind of accidential result of this year's Akademy ^^11:08
Laneyricotz: sorry, I just cared about using it11:08
Laneyand it'll probably be using meson before too long11:08
ximionbut after seeing the old AppStream logo in other people's presentation, I noticed how ugly it *really* is ^^ - the new one looks better, while having no direct meaning :P11:09
Laneyheh11:09
LaneyI wondered what the water was about11:09
ximionricotz: if you want, I can take a quick look at whatever problem there is11:09
ricotzLaney, don't worry, jumping on the meson wagon still seems to early ;)11:09
ximionLaney: that's the "stream" - the designers liked that metaphor for metadata for some reason ^^11:09
Laneyhaha11:10
Laneyyou should put a dam at the end11:10
Laneycalled the "stable release"11:10
ricotzximion, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dub11:10
ricotzximion, which is required for appstream-generator but fails on some archs11:11
Laneythat reminds me to sync meson11:11
ricotzLaney, should be up2date11:12

ricotzoh, stimmt11:12

Laney+Iain Lane11:13
Laney\o\ /o/11:13
ricotzLaney, hmm, might be a the reason why building gstreamer with meson still works here11:13
ricotzand is broken on debian11:13
ximionricots: that's normal, gdc isn't properly ported to those architectures - it fails on Debian too: https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=dub11:14
ximionsoon, nothing will build with dub in Debian anymore ^^11:14
Laneyricotz: try from the vcs, it just works from there11:14
Laney(meson)11:14
ximionI will switch appstream-generator to use Meson soonish11:14
Laneyhope the submodule stuff gets fixed up11:15
ricotzLaney, I guess I wait for it to land11:15
Laneyas you prefer11:15
ricotzximion, is their some agenda for GNOME to switch?11:15
ximionto compile asgen and Terminix and stuff with Meson, at least version 0.34 is required11:15
ricotzLaney, switched it back to autotools in jhbuild11:16
ximionricotz: it's some people's agenda, especially the agenda of GStreamer people - but the project itself doesn't have an opinion on that yet11:16
* Laney is maintaining both autotools and meson in libmo11:16
ricotzah ok, since gtk+ has a branch too11:16
Laneywhich makes it seriously boring to make any changes11:17
ximionpersonally I think Meson isn't ready yet to fully replace Automake, and the Meson devs know that, so they will likely invest more time into polishing Meson up before making an attempt to make GNOME switch11:17
ricotzI see11:17
ximionLaney: the submodule stuff is way too inflexible and IMHO a pretty weak spot in Meson at time11:18
ximionthe other pieces work well though .911:18
Laneyyeah11:18
Laneyit could be quite nice though11:18
Laneyprobably will just end up releasing the thing before then11:19
Laneywould want some more/better API to do that11:20
ximionLaney: at time I do crazy stuff like this for 3rd-party dependencies: https://github.com/ximion/vibe.d/blob/master/meson.build#L188-L20511:22
ximionespecially since that allows pulling *any* dependency and dealing with it, regardless of whether is has a meson.build or not11:22
ximionit's pretty ugly though11:22
Laneyeww11:23
* Laney cries at libreoffice11:33
ricotzwhat did it do?11:34
Laneythe l10n package is like 5 huge tarballs11:35
ricotzbasically you need to upload the same twice ;)11:36
Laneyis there a good reason for this split?11:37
ricotzfeel lucky you don't have to repack it ;)11:37
Laneytell me if I don't want to know :P11:37
ricotzit heavily lowers the needed buildspace11:37
ricotzwhich was a problem in the past for the ppa builds11:38
ricotzand is suppose to ease security updates while only the non l10n packages are usually need to be rebuilt11:38
ricotznot sure if bjorn is following that11:38
ricotzchrisccoulson, hi, firefox builds look pretty happy with enabled webrtc for all archs11:40

flexiondotorgwillcooke, It work for me on 16.04.1 last night when I was setting up a new computer.14:18
willcookeflexiondotorg, do you have an external mouse connected too?14:18
flexiondotorgJust an external mouse.14:18
willcookemaybe its my mouse then14:19
* flexiondotorg goes to test on touchpads...14:19
willcookeso, I don't have a "mouse speed" slider, only a touchpad slider14:19
willcookeso I assumed that the touchpad one would do my external mouse too14:19
willcookebut either way, it doesnt seem to change the speed of my touchpad or my mouse14:19
