TheMusoWhat is the environment variable to use with Qt apps to use Mir?04:03
dufluTheMuso: The binary ubuntu-app-launch does it for Unity804:18
dufluTheMuso: In Mir demo shells it is mirrun04:18
dufluThe set of environment variables is nonobvious because one of them you have to take away rather than add04:18
TheMusoduflu: Ok thanks. Thought it was easy as an env variable like it is with Gtk.04:37
dufluTheMuso: Yeah it's not that easy. Qt requires a variable which exists in Ubuntu gets undefined, plus Unity8 requires extra setup above and beyond the environment before it is willing to run an app (which I think is unreasonable and something we will need to eventually fix with public outcry)04:40
duflu-gets +be undefined04:40
dufluWe have the ability to just run native apps without any special setup, so we should make it that easy04:41
* duflu glares at Unity8 people04:41
TheMusoduflu: Thanks.05:00

Laneyhoping the clouds go away09:13
Laneyhey hikiko09:13
Laneyhow's it going?09:13
seb128hey hikiko09:14
davmor2Laney: there's a caravan park called Ebury Hill in shrewsbury you get some awesome night skys during the summer there as there are only a couple of Farms near it so no street lighting and the site lights are on top of the electric posts so next to know contamination from them either09:15
TheMusoLaney: Hope you have better luck. Its cloudy here at the moment, so no super moon, at least for my part of Sydney.09:16
seb128Laney, just reading about that, it's going to be at the closest around lunch time, I don't think it's going to work out from here with that weather09:17
davmor2TheMuso: no no no we've seen the films there are only clear blue skys in Australia you're not blagging us with that one ;)09:18
* pitti returns and sees a lot of action in this channel -- good morning desktoppers!09:19
seb128hey pitti, wie gehts?09:19
seb128pitti, how was the show on friday? had a good w.e?09:19
pittiseb128: gut, danke! Apparently you've been the most productive of us all this weekend :)09:19
TheMusodavmor2: Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but whatever material/media you have seen from/about Australia is greatly mistaken. :p09:20
pittiseb128: absolutely, yes! nice headbanging on Friday, another piano concert Saturday (what a contrast), and apart from some housecleaning mostly idling and avoiding the bitter cold :)09:20
pitti(well, we did a two hour walk, but brrrr)09:20

flexiondotorgseb128, Much improved. I walk from Poole to Bournemouth and back yesterday. Really helped.09:44
seb128great09:44
seb128glad you are doing better!09:45
flexiondotorgAlso amazing views of the moon at perigee :-)09:45
seb128you found clear sky in the u.k? ;-)09:45
flexiondotorgYep.09:45
flexiondotorgLast night was it.09:45
seb128nice09:45
flexiondotorgAlthough it is closer tonight, will be cloudy.09:46
flexiondotorgWas complete clear sky at the coast yesterday.09:46
pittiindeed, here too -- nice full moon, but bitterly cold at night09:46
flexiondotorgThousands of photographers there on the beach.09:46

flexiondotorgI think they were a bit too ficused on the moon, but this is what it looked like facing west - https://plus.google.com/+MartinWimpress/posts/A9QVQfchhPS09:50
seb128nice view indeed09:51
* flexiondotorg nips out to buy milk...09:54
seb128Sweet5hark, hey, did you see the "[yakkety/libreoffice] Possible Regression" emails? could you check those/reply to Brian?10:23
seb128they don't seem likely to be due to the SRU change from a non-libreoffice-maintainer eye10:24
seb128just non frequent issues that had some 5.1 reports but no 5.2 yet10:25
* duflu goes to find the moon10:35
seb128duflu, good luck and enjoy the view ;-)10:36
dufluHmm, the moon is so super it's got powers of invisibility10:36
dufluToo low probably10:36
pittiLaney: FYI, I have a PR now for bug 1637758; I'll wait for Robert's review before uploading, though (and it seems he's currently landing a new upstream release too)11:06
ubot5`bug 1637758 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "lightdm greeter session not properly shut down at login" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/163775811:06
Laneypitti: nice11:08
Laneydo you know why usd doesn't go down with the session?11:08
Laneywhat tells it to die in a normal user session?11:08
Laneyand why did that unified hierarchy patch fix it? :-)11:09
pittiLaney: I at least know for nm-applet -- unity-greeter just Process.spawn_command_line_async()s that without ever cleaning it up11:10
pittii. e. there's nothing on closing the unity greeter session that would stop it11:10
pittiLaney: I think before it was upstart shutting down the session dbus on session closing11:10
pittiand nm-applet/u-s-d died  with that11:11
pittinow it's lingering as it's PAM/systemd which closes it11:11
pittiLaney: as for the unified hiearchy, I don't have the slightest idea how that influenced that ..11:12
Laneyme neither11:15
Laneyit's all voodoo to me11:15
Sweet5harkseb128: @yakkety regressions: only discussed the first one with brain (right at the sprint). havent rechecked or redicussed them since.12:17
* Sweet5hark is having a look now12:19
* Sweet5hark curses at the fancy javascript-foo on errors.u.c. Just gimme the damn data.12:22
Sweet5harkseb128: so looking at https://errors.ubuntu.com/?package=libreoffice-core&period=week I see nothing in the Top20 with "First seen: Ubuntu 16.10".12:25
Sweet5harkseb128: and looking at one of the crashers that I got spammeed about (64e3163cddff439ffdde7cbe5bf031a0d3412ae3), has 35 events on Ubuntu 15.10, 15 events on Ubuntu 16.04 and _4_ events on Ubuntu 16.10.12:27
Sweet5harkseb128: IOW, the detection algo there is nuts and just triggers on noise: something happening 15 times on the LTS is noise anyway. And in this particular case the regression detection freaks out about 4 events on 5.2.2-0ubuntu2 because accidentally there werent any events on 5.2.2-0ubuntu1.12:30
Sweet5harkso: 5.2.2-0ubuntu1 had the defect too, but wasnt deployed enough to show it. absence of evidence isnt evidence of absense and all that jazz: assuming 5.2.2-0ubuntu1 was more healthy is nonsense.12:32
seb128Sweet5hark, right, what I think as well, let's just tell Brian to unblock it13:01
seb128Sweet5hark, good suggestions in the email, indeed their "need to manual check for regression" is a easy to trigger14:01

happyaronpitti: hey, would you mind to have a look at n-m in git when you have time?16:46
pittihappyaron: oh, nice! sure16:52
pittihappyaron: anything in particular you want me to watch out for, or just a general "looks OK and works"?16:52
pittihappyaron: you dropped Read-system-connections-from-run.patch, but that isn't upstream yet16:54
happyaronpitti: just the patch set16:54
happyaronlet me check16:55
pittihappyaron: Read-config-from-run.patch was indeed accepted (not sure if it's already in 1.4.2, but that's easy enough to find out)16:58
