[08:40] morning unity [08:42] I'm getting this when I try to install unity8-desktop-session [08:42] https://pastebin.canonical.com/172726/ [08:42] in a fresh xenial installation +overlay [08:44] does anyone know about this¿ === seb128_ is now known as seb128 === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader [14:16] mterry: hello [14:16] om26er: hello! happy Monday :) [14:17] hah! [14:17] mterry: How do I restart unity8 session after adding a global environment variable on desktop ? [14:18] om26er: where did you set the env var? [14:18] (usually "restart unity8" will restart unity8 in your session [14:18] mterry: on a desktop, that kind of logs us out [14:19] does it? I think upstart is the root session process, restarting u8 shouldn't stop lightdm session? [14:19] mterry: through systemctl [14:19] mterry: apparently 'restart unity8' does not finish because the terminal is killed as soon as the unity8 server is stopped. [14:20] It worked fine when we were ssh'ing into a touch device but when we are running a test on a desktop itself, the restart of unity8 is proving to be catastrophic [14:20] om26er: yeah I guess if you do it through the apps, that would happen -- restarting u8 kills all the apps [14:21] om26er: does it work if you do it in VT terminal outside of the session? [14:21] mterry: haven't tried, but I am thinking of something like printing a message to user that they need to add an environment variable and restart the session to enable testability. [14:22] restart as in logout/login. [14:23] mterry: my question, where shall I export my variable, is there a lightdm friendly place ? [14:23] Yeah I guess logout/login would work, but you'd have to set the env var somewhere where it would et picked up... [14:24] om26er: uh I believe /etc/profile.d/* and ~/.profile get read === dandrader is now known as dandrader|afk [14:32] om26er: what env var are you adding? [14:32] greyback: QT_LOAD_TESTABILITY=1 [14:33] om26er: so you are testing unity8? [14:33] greyback: yes, directly and indirectly. [14:34] greyback: we have a test suite (lp:ubuntu-system-tests) that works on phone/tablet, but to enable that on desktop, some changes like this need to be made. [14:35] om26er: ok. Yeah short-term you'd need to detach the restart unity8 command from the terminal, as stopping unity8 will kill that terminal. Maybe the "disown" command will help you? [14:38] greyback: TIL disown is a command, will look into that. Whats the long-term solution ? ;) === dandrader|afk is now known as dandrader === Saviq_ is now known as Saviq === Trevinho_ is now known as Trevinho
