| om26er | Hi! I upgraded to Zesty and things are not looking good. unity' DPI scaling is not working for my gtk apps, also app menus are shown in both window and in menubar. | 07:31 |
| om26er | Also this issue does not happen when I live boot zesty, only shows itself after install | 07:31 |
| om26er | http://i.imgur.com/cLN4NSS.png | 07:33 |
| duflu_ | Hmm I never thought to try U7 in zesty. Only testing U8 :) | 07:39 |
| === duflu_ is now known as duflu | ||
| pitti | om26er: that sounds familiar | 07:40 |
| pitti | om26er: probably bug 1637758 | 07:41 |
| ubot5` | bug 1637758 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "lightdm greeter session not properly shut down at login" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1637758 | 07:41 |
| pitti | I have a fix, but didn't get a review yet | 07:41 |
| pitti | I'll probably just upload it to zesty before landing in trunk, as it does break a lot | 07:41 |
| duflu | pitti: I've been wondering how hard it would be to start the Unity7 session (or anything X) with $DISPLAY pointing to Xmir (inside Unity8)... | 07:42 |
| duflu | ? | 07:42 |
| duflu | Xmir is my domain at the moment but I don't know how to launch an arbitrary session | 07:43 |
| pitti | a session within a session? won't that make a lot of things 'orribly confused? (settings-daemon, different $DESKTOP_SESSIONs in different processes, etc.) | 07:44 |
| duflu | pitti: That's what I feared. But in theory the graphics and input is ready and would work | 07:44 |
| pitti | duflu: as a first approximation you can try "systemctl --user start ubuntu-session.target" (which is u7) | 07:45 |
| duflu | pitti: OK, thanks | 07:45 |
| pitti | duflu: oh, and before that systemctl --user set-environment DISPLAY=something | 07:45 |
| duflu | I already know Compiz will run happily hardware accelerated in an Xmir window so it would be interesting | 07:46 |
| pitti | duflu: but which u{7,8} will actually render the background, launcher, and panel then? | 07:46 |
| pitti | oh, nevermind | 07:46 |
| duflu | pitti: Windowed :) | 07:47 |
| pitti | you weren't talking about u8, just u7 underneath mir | 07:47 |
| duflu | U7 in a U8 window | 07:47 |
| pitti | so Xephyr/Xnest-like? | 07:47 |
| duflu | I guess so | 07:47 |
| duflu | Although the lag is even higher then. I need to continue working on that first | 07:48 |

| om26er | pitti: I installed lightdm 1.20.0-0ubuntu3 but it does not fix the issue that I am seeing. i.e. app-menu of gtk apps is shown twice(in top panel and in window itself). Font size changes have no effect to gtk apps | 09:13 |
| pitti | om26er: hm, ok; you rebooted afterwards? | 09:14 |
| om26er | pitti: no, just logged out | 09:15 |
| pitti | om26er: sudo loginctl terminate-user lightdm | 09:15 |
| pitti | om26er: then log out/back in again | 09:15 |
| pitti | om26er: there were probalby some lingering lightdm sessions around; the patch fixes those, but it doesn't kill old sessions from previous lightdm versinos | 09:16 |

| Trevinho | if the app windows have WM_PID, but that should happen 99% of the time | 14:45 |

| seb128 | - the security stuff is now fully sorted (+ thanks to snap team for | 15:38 |
| seb128 | adding xdg subdir support to snappy) | 15:38 |
| seb128 | - put a fair amount of effort into starting to "robustify" the code | 15:38 |
| seb128 | (since this is a security component) | 15:38 |
| seb128 | - security-related aspects of support for flatpak-based clients is in | 15:38 |
| seb128 | place (again, with caveat about signal broadcasts not being filtered by | 15:38 |
| seb128 | flatpak) | 15:38 |

| tkamppeter | - We have support for AirPrint now! Around 2600 models, many did not work with Linux before. Works only if printer is network-connected (WiFi, Ethernet). | 15:46 |
| tkamppeter | - cups: Got upstream answers to PPD-generator related bug reports and these got fixed for 2.2.2. In addition, 2.2.2 will have Apple Raster support (is in upstream GIT now), so AirPrint printers (around 2600 models, many did not work with Linux before) should work without driver and auto-generated PPDs, too. Tested on three HP printers and it actually works. | 15:46 |
| tkamppeter | - cups-filters: Synced PPD generator in cups-browsed with the one in CUPS, added auto-creation of print queues for AirPrint printers. | 15:46 |

| attente | should we talk about the gtk platform snap? | 15:49 |
| attente | or after the meeting maybe? | 15:49 |
| seb128 | we can | 15:50 |
| seb128 | after meeting is fine | 15:50 |
| seb128 | no need to keep everybody, those interested can stay around | 15:50 |
| seb128 | k, let's wrap and discuss that? | 15:50 |
| seb128 | thanks everyone! | 15:50 |
| attente | sure | 15:50 |
| flexiondotorg | Yep. | 15:50 |

| didrocks | do you need help? I gave some advice for the ubuntu-app-platform side and did the desktop-launcher work for it | 15:51 |
| didrocks | we can base on this | 15:51 |
| attente | can we re-use that one instead of having a new separate platform snap? | 15:51 |
| flexiondotorg | didrocks, Does the approach differ much from how the KDE team are doing things? | 15:51 |
| seb128 | attente, re-use like? | 15:51 |
| Sweet5hark | so what gtk version will the snap be? how will transitions work? | 15:51 |
| didrocks | unsure about the KDE team platform snap, I never saw it | 15:51 |
| seb128 | I think we wanted to do something similar | 15:52 |
| seb128 | just with a different list of stage-packages | 15:52 |
| seb128 | no? | 15:52 |
| flexiondotorg | That is my thinking. | 15:52 |
| seb128 | Sweet5hark, we decided to snap the distro version | 15:52 |
| attente | like instead of having a separate snap, contribute gtk-related libraries, themes, etc to the ubuntu-app-platform snap | 15:52 |
| seb128 | so I guess we are going to have a xenial-3-18 | 15:52 |
| flexiondotorg | Would be interested to know how the ubuntu-app-platform snap is constructued. | 15:52 |
| seb128 | and a yakkety-3-20 | 15:52 |
| seb128 | flexiondotorg, yeah, me too | 15:53 |
| didrocks | pretty easily, it's just a list of stage-packages | 15:53 |
| seb128 | I need to look at it more | 15:53 |
| seb128 | especially how they export the libs | 15:53 |
| didrocks | they didn't version the content interface though, despite what I asked multiple times | 15:53 |
| didrocks | and in the dekstop launcher, we detect a fix directory | 15:53 |
| seb128 | I guess they mount it under a new dir that they prepend to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH? | 15:53 |
| didrocks | and if there, we change some of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, wrappers to run and such | 15:53 |
| Sweet5hark | seb128: ok, and one is expected to use the platform snap matching the build system (well or what one selected in launchpad) then I assume? | 15:54 |
| didrocks | https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/blob/master/qt/launcher-specific#L12 | 15:54 |
| didrocks | and exports are in https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/blob/master/qt/launcher-specific#L35 | 15:54 |
| didrocks | + some other functions later on that I refactored | 15:54 |
| didrocks | like https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/blob/master/qt/launcher-specific#L109 | 15:54 |
| seb128 | Sweet5hark, the toolchain topic is going to be a bit tricker/not something we are looking at currently | 15:55 |
| Sweet5hark | seb128: k | 15:55 |
| seb128 | but I think we are going to have versioned snaps by serie as didrocks suggested | 15:56 |
| seb128 | like x-3-18 | 15:56 |
| seb128 | y-3-20 | 15:56 |
| flexiondotorg | I think so too. | 15:56 |
| didrocks | sounds good to me (it's the content-interface "content" name) | 15:56 |
| seb128 | didrocks, the application side is just a plug and making sure the target dir exists for the mount? | 15:56 |
| seb128 | like $SNAP/usr/gtk-x-3-18 | 15:57 |
| didrocks | seb128: right + using the desktop launcher, but that's it | 15:57 |
| didrocks | yeah, I suggest a subdir | 15:57 |
| didrocks | and you put everything under it | 15:57 |
| didrocks | we stated on $SNAP/platform for Qt | 15:57 |
| didrocks | would be good to require the same directory name for documentation purpose | 15:57 |
| seb128 | hum | 15:58 |
| seb128 | you mean in the platform snap? | 15:58 |
| didrocks | no, in the app | 15:58 |
| didrocks | the app mount the platform snap inside | 15:58 |
| didrocks | it's a bindmount | 15:58 |
| seb128 | what if the app needs to mount both qt and gtk? | 15:58 |
| didrocks | is that really a use case ? | 15:58 |
| seb128 | they can't have the same name? | 15:58 |
| didrocks | if so, they are on their own, meaning: | 15:58 |
| didrocks | - they need to use their own launcher | 15:59 |
| flexiondotorg | The KDE platform and -dev snap are in Harold Sitters github - https://github.com/apachelogger?tab=repositories | 15:59 |
| didrocks | - but they can use both content interfaces | 15:59 |
| flexiondotorg | Some elegant solutions in there. | 15:59 |
| didrocks | it's the plug deciding where to mount $things | 15:59 |
| didrocks | (the app plug) | 15:59 |
| didrocks | but our default launchers won't be able to support $RANDOM_DEST_DIR | 15:59 |
| seb128 | k, fair enough | 15:59 |
| seb128 | if [ ! -d $SNAP/ubuntu-app-platform/usr ] ; then | 16:00 |
| seb128 | in your github url | 16:00 |
| didrocks | (sorry, it's ubuntu-app-platform) indeed | 16:01 |
| didrocks | I don't remember how much we did iterate on this :) | 16:01 |
| seb128 | :-) | 16:01 |
| didrocks | so, yeah, do something similar | 16:01 |
| seb128 | would it be misleading having gtk under that name? | 16:01 |
| didrocks | preferably with -platform suffix | 16:01 |
| didrocks | I don't think so | 16:01 |
| seb128 | ah, I see what you mean | 16:01 |
| seb128 | like ubuntu-gtk-platform | 16:01 |
| didrocks | yeah | 16:01 |
| seb128 | or gtk-platform | 16:01 |
| seb128 | attente, why did you want to reuse the same? | 16:01 |
| seb128 | or include gtk in the ubuntu-app-platform ? | 16:02 |
| seb128 | those probably have different targets and cycles | 16:02 |
| attente | i might've misunderstood, but yeah, including gtk in u-a-p | 16:02 |
| seb128 | why? | 16:03 |
| seb128 | you probably don't want to pull in the whole uitk for a gtk software | 16:03 |
| seb128 | what's your usecase? | 16:03 |
| attente | at the same time all of ubuntu-core is already pulled in the moment you install a snap, no? | 16:04 |
| seb128 | or what do you think we would win? | 16:04 |
| seb128 | ubuntu-core yes | 16:04 |
| seb128 | but that's the base image | 16:04 |
| seb128 | like libc type of content | 16:04 |
| seb128 | that's things going to be useful for any sort of install or almost | 16:05 |
| didrocks | (/!\ but as I reported multiple time to upstream, installing a snap, even with default-provider, doesn't install the content-interface snap for you, nor it does autoconnect it) | 16:05 |
| didrocks | can be useful in your testing ^ | 16:05 |
| seb128 | right | 16:05 |
| attente | ok | 16:05 |
| seb128 | thanks for pointing it out | 16:05 |
| seb128 | I think that's something gnome-software is going to need to do for us | 16:05 |
| seb128 | well that's the plan afaik, robert_ancell had some discussions with the snappy team about there where they agreed that's the wanted solution | 16:06 |
| didrocks | that would be good :) | 16:06 |
| didrocks | (unsure about pure CLI usage though) | 16:06 |
| seb128 | you use the CLI you need to know what you are doing ;-) | 16:07 |
| seb128 | well, at least you made the wrapper give hints from what I see | 16:07 |
| flexiondotorg | didrocks, What is the current status of who can connect to a content snap? | 16:07 |
| didrocks | well, you can argue apt doesn't force you to install deps ;) | 16:07 |
| didrocks | flexiondotorg: everyone from the same provider | 16:08 |
| flexiondotorg | What about Canonical published platform snaps? | 16:08 |
| didrocks | reported last week as well. I don't see that status moving soon though | 16:08 |
| didrocks | same | 16:08 |
| didrocks | you need to publish your apps as canonical to connect to the canonical platform snaps | 16:08 |
| flexiondotorg | So if we have a Canonical published GTK platform snap, it can not be reused by Xubuntu for example? | 16:08 |
| seb128 | those are problem to resolve for the snappy team | 16:09 |
| seb128 | and known limitations atm | 16:09 |
| seb128 | I think we should start by building our platform snap | 16:09 |
| flexiondotorg | Yes, but just making sure my understanding is correct. | 16:09 |
| seb128 | right | 16:09 |
| didrocks | right now, indeed | 16:09 |
| flexiondotorg | Just to be clear, it will not be possible for upstream to use the Canonical published GTK platform snap? | 16:10 |
| didrocks | not right now | 16:10 |
| flexiondotorg | Bother. | 16:10 |
| seb128 | flexiondotorg, when you say they have sole elegant solutions for kde, anything specific you are thinking about? | 16:46 |
| seb128 | my view is a bit naive I guess but isn't the build mostly going to be a stack of stage-packages and some organize rules to move things in a common dir? | 16:47 |
| seb128 | like is there more to it? | 16:47 |
| flexiondotorg | They technique they are using to make both a platform (runtime) snap and also the -dev snap to using in build-packages. | 16:48 |
| seb128 | (I didn't think much about the -dev side I've to say, but we sort of agreed that build has to be done on the distro/that's the best/easiest env for that sort of things still) | 16:48 |
| flexiondotorg | Yes, indeed. | 16:50 |
| flexiondotorg | I can't find the repo now, but I will. | 16:50 |
| flexiondotorg | What they created is a means to provide all the build-packages via one "meta" snap. | 16:51 |
| seb128 | k, enough for today | 17:58 |
| seb128 | have a nice evening desktopers | 17:58 |
| seb128 | see you tomorrow | 17:58 |
| willcooke | night seb128 | 17:58 |
| willcooke | thanks for running the meeting | 17:58 |
| seb128 | yw! | 17:58 |
| flexiondotorg | Night, catch you tomorrow. | 17:58 |
| * willcooke bails too | 17:58 | |
| willcooke | ta ta | 17:58 |
