| desrt | moin, desktop | 08:01 |
| xnox | what is gnome-software written in? and why its gapplication-service is the second largest consumer of standby RAM on my laptop in zesty? | 08:11 |
| * xnox is grumpy this morning | 08:11 | |
| happyaron | morning desrt xnox seb128 pitti | 08:12 |
| xnox | also, i'm still questioning my intentions of updating to zesty during a sprint | 08:13 |
| desrt | xnox: big database of apps? | 08:18 |
| desrt | xnox: heavy toolkit user? | 08:18 |
| xnox | ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 08:19 |
| xnox | i think i am just a normal laptop user, with uefi capsule support from dell | 08:19 |
| xnox | i only have 3.6k packages installed | 08:19 |
| seb128 | hey desrt xnox happyaron | 08:38 |
| desrt | our fearless (acting) leader! | 08:38 |
| desrt | morning, seb :) | 08:38 |
| seb128 | xnox, g-s is written in C | 08:38 |
| xnox | horum. i wonder if the memory size in system monitor is a lie | 08:38 |
| xnox | and it's just all the shared libraries of the world (e.g. webkit) | 08:39 |
| seb128 | it has different columns | 08:39 |
| seb128 | "memory" should be the correct one | 08:39 |
| seb128 | it has different values for shared, etc | 08:40 |
| desrt | look for writable | 08:40 |
| desrt | everything else, really, is just cache.... | 08:40 |
| desrt | (ie: non-writable segments are just bits of shared libraries from the page cache... easily evicted and read back again if needed) | 08:41 |
| xnox | 30M shared, 107M memory | 08:45 |
| xnox | so there is 100M of runtime app usage, it would seem. | 08:45 |
| desrt | ... look specifically for something that tells you how much "writable" memory | 08:46 |
| seb128 | desrt, I think that's what the "memory" column is in g-s-m no? | 08:47 |
| desrt | in that case, don't subtract :p | 08:47 |
| seb128 | right | 08:47 |
| seb128 | like virtual memory for g-s is 180M here and memory is 60M | 08:48 |
| desrt | highest users here: chromium, telegram(!), xorg, shell... | 08:48 |
| desrt | as expected, more or less | 08:48 |
| desrt | gnome-software is only using 18MB for me... | 08:49 |
| seb128 | xnox, but yeah it's annoying that it stays around as a service but it was needed for notifying about firmware updates and other things | 08:49 |
| * desrt looks slightly guilty | 08:50 | |
| desrt | <gapplication> run the app forever! if it needs to, it can clean up its static state before going into the background to save memory | 08:51 |
| desrt | <every library ever> have some static state! if you want to clear it, you can surely just exit(), right? | 08:51 |
| desrt | <c language> hey guys! have some memory fragmentation!! | 08:51 |
| desrt | so ya....... | 08:52 |
| desrt | i underestimated how serious this problem would be | 08:52 |
| xnox | i will try to remove the firmware update plugin, restart gnome-software, and will check if that solves things. | 08:52 |
| xnox | .. | 08:53 |
| xnox | libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa from zesty-proposed results in ubiquity ftbfs (everything else is fine, the rest of the mesa update) | 08:53 |
| xnox | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 08:54 |
| xnox | xauth/Xrdb output: | 08:54 |
| xnox | as in Xvfb fails | 08:54 |
| desrt | xnox: i think gnome-software also puts a listener for apt updates | 08:54 |
| desrt | since there is, otherwise, nothing to trigger something in the logged-in session on the basis of a system-level event | 08:55 |
| xnox | is this known that src:mesa in zesty-proposed regresses xvfb? | 08:55 |
| desrt | really, though: i think gnome-software is written poorly in terms of the never-exit thing... if it wants to sit around waiting for a couple of things, it should have a separate (tiny) process that does that, and signals the primary process when something happens | 08:56 |
| seb128 | xnox, tjaalton might know | 08:56 |
| desrt | gapplication is all about activating in response to events... there really is no excuse to have this thing long-running like it is | 08:56 |
| desrt | of course, this is probably quite disruptive to its current plugin model :/ | 08:57 |
| seb128 | desrt, xnox, right, disabling the firmware plugin isn't going to solve anything. It has been written to start with the session and stick around as a service, it's just that we discussed changing that but the people working on g-s in Ubuntu had a consensus against because the service is sometime useful (like for firmwares) and g-s was getting in a weird state when exiting and restarting | 08:57 |
| seb128 | It= g-s | 08:57 |
| desrt | imho this is something that should be solved properly | 08:58 |
| xnox | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1647600 | 08:58 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1647600 in mesa (Ubuntu) "Xvfb fails with new mesa, results in ubiquity FTBFS" [Critical,New] | 08:58 |
| desrt | unfortunately, the "proper" fix probably means that every plugin, in effect, becomes two plugins | 08:59 |
| xnox | seb128, i'm ok with gnome-software hanging around forever | 08:59 |
| xnox | we already have udpate-manager hanging around forever, can that poke g-s when things change? | 08:59 |
| xnox | i'm wondering if the firmware plugin is the memory hog. | 08:59 |
| seb128 | xnox, bug #1646064 might be the same? | 08:59 |
| ubot5 | bug 1646064 in glibc (Ubuntu) "investigate autopkgtest regressions in 2.24-7ubuntu1" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1646064 | 08:59 |
| desrt | xnox: the memory hog is gtk | 08:59 |
| desrt | (and webkit, and ....) | 08:59 |
| xnox | if gnome-software would use less memory i would be fine with it. | 08:59 |
| seb128 | right, what desrt is saying | 08:59 |
| xnox | seb128, no, because infinity fixed glibc yesterday and glibc is irrelevant. | 08:59 |
| desrt | the problem is, after the first time you show the UI, there is an awful lot of memory that gets used and never freed | 09:00 |
| seb128 | we just keep a service which is the full application including all the UI librarires | 09:00 |
| desrt | all of our UI stack is made with the assumption that apps exit when they exit | 09:00 |
| desrt | so basically, the process that links webkit, gtk, etc. needs to call exit() | 09:00 |
| flexiondotorg | Good morning seb128 desrt happyaron hikiko :-) | 09:00 |
| seb128 | hey flexiondotorg, how are you? | 09:00 |
| desrt | flexiondotorg: morning :D | 09:00 |
| hikiko | hi all :p | 09:00 |
| seb128 | hey hikiko | 09:01 |
| desrt | hikiko: hey :) | 09:01 |
| flexiondotorg | seb128, Very well thanks. | 09:01 |
| desrt | i think i'll take a note to have a chat with hughsie later today | 09:01 |
| seb128 | xnox, see the comment from dobey on the glibc bug, I meant that one looks like your issue | 09:01 |
| flexiondotorg | Despite staying up too late to tinker with Pi projects :-) | 09:01 |
| desrt | this has been something that has been bothering me for a while... | 09:01 |
| seb128 | xnox, which might be different from whatever glibc issue there was | 09:01 |
| seb128 | desrt, thanks, let me know how the discussion goes | 09:01 |
| seb128 | flexiondotorg, late night hacking is fun, next mornings are less right? | 09:02 |
| seb128 | :-) | 09:02 |
| desrt | would be interesting to have a simple activation framework for monitoring system events in a generic way | 09:02 |
| desrt | like if you could ask systemd to start your process if /var/apt/whatever got an inotify event, or in response to a particular signal sent to the system dbus | 09:02 |
| flexiondotorg | seb128, Yeah, I didn't make the school run this morning. | 09:02 |
| seb128 | desrt, can't you already do that sort of things with systemd jobs? | 09:03 |
| flexiondotorg | And hacking ended up being playing classic arcade games from the 80s :-D | 09:03 |
| xnox | desrt, there is .path units in systemd, and thus in user-session systemd can totally spawn / poke things. | 09:03 |
| seb128 | lol | 09:03 |
| Laney | morning | 09:03 |
| seb128 | hey Laney | 09:03 |
| desrt | Laney: hey :) | 09:03 |
| xnox | note it may not know which session one is in =) or which display to use for popups | 09:03 |
| desrt | ya... that's one problem | 09:03 |
| Laney | just went to pick up my laptop but was holding a tea and poured it out | 09:03 |
| Laney | /o\ | 09:03 |
| desrt | this user vs. session thing is a drag | 09:04 |
| desrt | Laney: floor or laptop? | 09:04 |
| flexiondotorg | Morning Laney | 09:04 |
| seb128 | Laney, you didn't poor it on the laptop at least? | 09:04 |
| seb128 | pour | 09:04 |
| flexiondotorg | Poor laptop? | 09:04 |
| desrt | xnox: so like, i bet we could use this to replace whatever monitoring the apt backend is doing | 09:04 |
| seb128 | hehe | 09:04 |
| Laney | no | 09:05 |
| Laney | other hand | 09:05 |
| desrt | .... better than laptop. at least? | 09:06 |
| Laney | sofa / floor / me | 09:06 |
| desrt | (unless you fancied your hand, but wanted a new laptop...) | 09:06 |
| Laney | could be worse | 09:06 |
| Laney | gnome-software calls a 'refresh' function on each plugin | 09:06 |
| Laney | at an interval | 09:06 |
| desrt | ... | 09:07 |
| Laney | you should go have this chat in #gnome-software rather than #ubuntu-desktop | 09:07 |
| desrt | (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ | 09:07 |
| davmor2 | Morning all | 09:22 |
| seb128 | hey davmor2 | 09:23 |
| flexiondotorg | davmor2, Morning | 09:52 |
| flexiondotorg | seb128, Laney Have you got a few minutes to discuss a couple of HiDPI issues raised by System 76? | 10:24 |
| seb128 | flexiondotorg, sure | 10:24 |
| flexiondotorg | I'll get to Unity scale-factor in bit. I'll start with console fonts. | 10:25 |
| flexiondotorg | System 76 have tweaked the console fonts in 16.04 to used the Terminus font at FONTSIZE="16x32" | 10:26 |
| flexiondotorg | Rather than the Fixed font at FONTSIZE="8x16" | 10:26 |
| flexiondotorg | Would it be possible to make Termius at the higher size the default? | 10:27 |
| flexiondotorg | Is it possible to retrospectively adjust this in 16.04? | 10:28 |
| flexiondotorg | My concern is, this will also affect server. | 10:28 |
| flexiondotorg | And may not be desirable. | 10:28 |
| seb128 | you/they should open a bug about that with the suggested changes and the rational | 10:29 |
| seb128 | not sure who would be right to comment on the issue but I don't know enough about that to reply without reading/investigating | 10:29 |
| flexiondotorg | OK. | 10:29 |
| seb128 | Gunnar might have an opinion | 10:29 |
| flexiondotorg | I'll ask them to file a bug with rationale. | 10:30 |
| seb128 | thanks | 10:31 |
| flexiondotorg | seb128, We chatted earlier about the MR for Unity7 that will set the scale-factor on HiDPI systems. | 10:31 |
| flexiondotorg | https://code.launchpad.net/~kaihengfeng/unity/set-hidpi-scale-factor/+merge/299380 | 10:31 |
| flexiondotorg | That has landed in 17.04. | 10:32 |
| seb128 | right | 10:32 |
| flexiondotorg | I'#m going to test it this morning. | 10:32 |
| seb128 | great | 10:32 |
| flexiondotorg | seb128, What concerns do you have about back porting this to 16.04? | 10:32 |
| seb128 | not much, I was just wondering if unity was the right place to do it where unity-settings-daemon had already code for that which got disabled | 10:33 |
| seb128 | but the unity scaling is per screen | 10:33 |
| seb128 | though at the end we only have one value for gtk | 10:34 |
| seb128 | but if andyrock & Trevinho judged it's right to do it in unity and it works no objection from me | 10:34 |
| seb128 | so yeah, please test, if that works well let's land that rather than do more work | 10:34 |
| flexiondotorg | So I've asked System 76 to test current 17.04 images. | 10:34 |
| seb128 | great | 10:35 |
| Trevinho | seb128, flexiondotorg: hey! | 10:35 |
| flexiondotorg | I'm going to do that same on my XPS 15. | 10:35 |
| seb128 | hey Trevinho :-) | 10:35 |
| flexiondotorg | Trevinho, o/ | 10:35 |
| Trevinho | seb128: so, I would have preferred to keep some things inside ups but... | 10:35 |
| seb128 | usd you mean? | 10:35 |
| Trevinho | yeah, sorrry | 10:35 |
| Trevinho | but... That's a global option as said | 10:35 |
| flexiondotorg | I can see the benefit of having the logic in usd. | 10:36 |
| flexiondotorg | For example, OEM first boot doesn't currently auto scale on HiDPI systems. | 10:36 |
| Trevinho | and at the same time we probably should have moved all this kind of stuff to usd in the first place... But at this point we accpeted it to be inside unity | 10:36 |
| seb128 | right need to look at that | 10:36 |
| flexiondotorg | But usd is laucnhed via ubiquity-dm | 10:36 |
| seb128 | usd has code for it and we use it in the greeter | 10:36 |
| Trevinho | flexiondotorg: that's a different thing I think | 10:36 |
| seb128 | we should perhaps reverse the logic to be !unity | 10:36 |
| andyrock | morning | 10:36 |
| Trevinho | flexiondotorg: as OEM install isn't using unity, isn't it? | 10:36 |
| seb128 | hey andyrock | 10:37 |
| flexiondotorg | Trevinho, correct. | 10:37 |
| Laney | only-ubiquity mode does scale though | 10:37 |
| flexiondotorg | Ubiquity has it's own display manager and executes usd. | 10:37 |
| andyrock | does anyone know how to block spam on freenode? | 10:37 |
| andyrock | :D | 10:37 |
| seb128 | sorry but need to step out for a bit | 10:38 |
| seb128 | going to read the backlog and comment once I'm back | 10:38 |
| flexiondotorg | andyrock, o/ | 10:38 |
| seb128 | (if there anything else needed from me in the discussion) | 10:38 |
| flexiondotorg | seb128, OK | 10:38 |
| Laney | If usd doesn't set up scaling, how does that work? | 10:38 |
| flexiondotorg | Laney, I'm saying OEM first boot doesn't scale. | 10:39 |
| flexiondotorg | But if the scale-factor logic were in usd, then OEM first boot would scale. | 10:39 |
| Laney | I know | 10:40 |
| Laney | I'm asking why it does work for the only-ubiquity mode on live CDs | 10:40 |
| flexiondotorg | Yes ^ | 10:41 |
| flexiondotorg | What I'm going to test. | 10:41 |
| Laney | Maybe metacity sets this up itself | 10:41 |
| flexiondotorg | I'd like to understand the difference and try to find a solution. | 10:41 |
| * desrt gets upset with ld -pie | 10:43 | |
| flexiondotorg | Laney, so metacity is in ubuntu-live | 10:47 |
| Laney | That's right | 10:47 |
| flexiondotorg | And in ubiquity-dm metacity will be executed in preference to compiz. | 10:47 |
| Laney | Correct | 10:48 |
| flexiondotorg | Do you know the history on that? | 10:48 |
| Laney | Not really, just that compiz didn't work properly for some reason and metacity was ok | 10:48 |
| flexiondotorg | OK, so something to test is if Compiz does work now. | 10:48 |
| Laney | you will notice that I did some hidpi fixes in metacity a little while ago | 10:48 |
| flexiondotorg | Yep. | 10:49 |
| Laney | Not sure what's to be gained by trying to change that | 10:50 |
| Laney | but if you want to own any resulting problems... | 10:51 |
| flexiondotorg | Unity 7 (in Zesty) can set scale-factor when HiDPI is detected. | 10:51 |
| Laney | It works in metacity already. | 10:52 |
| flexiondotorg | Except is OEM first-boot. | 10:52 |
| Laney | Yes, but it works in only-ubiquity | 10:52 |
| Laney | so there is no point in ripping it out of there | 10:52 |
| Laney | find out *why* it does and then replicate that | 10:52 |
| flexiondotorg | Agreed. | 10:52 |
| flexiondotorg | But I'm curious to see if executing compiz from ubiquity-dm "does the right thing". | 10:53 |
| flexiondotorg | In OEM first-boot with the scale patch applied. | 10:53 |
| Laney | If you really want to, then that's up to you | 10:56 |
| * Laney needz beanz | 11:01 | |
| Laney | flexiondotorg: u-s-d does the autocalculation on non-Unity | 12:31 |
| flexiondotorg | Laney, OK. | 12:32 |
| flexiondotorg | Will test after lunch. | 12:33 |

| dobey | seb128, xnox: any luck on the mesa issue? | 15:09 |
| xnox | dobey, i know it breaks things | 15:09 |
| xnox | dobey, seb128: i want src:mesa to be removed from proposed | 15:09 |
| xnox | it is blocking a lot of things | 15:10 |
| dobey | yeah, it breaks anything that uses gtk+ at least; i'm sure not everything it breaks has an autopkgtest that hits that issue | 15:10 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, hey, is ^ a known issue/being worked on? | 15:11 |
| dobey | it's blocking us landing a fix for (at least) indicator-keyboard for the u8 snap too | 15:12 |
| seb128 | well, proper way is to fix the bug | 15:12 |
| seb128 | not to delete an update that is going to need to be redone/debugged at some point anyway | 15:13 |
| dobey | of course | 15:13 |
| dobey | i got a stack trace pointing to where it's breaking, thought someone who deals with mesa would be fixing it | 15:13 |
| seb128 | dobey, that someone is tjaalton and he doesn't seem to be around, doesn't mean others can't step up and try to fix it though | 15:25 |

| andyrock | the code is almost there but I'm having issues testing it | 15:34 |
| andyrock | coz I can no longer install webbrowser-app | 15:34 |
| andyrock | did some reviews also | 15:35 |
| andyrock | eow | 15:35 |
| seb128 | thanks andyrock | 15:35 |
| seb128 | andyrock, is that using the overlay ppa? I think they had an issue with oxide and a security update overriding it but a silo fixing those | 15:36 |

| andyrock | seb128: do you know which silo? | 15:37 |
| seb128 | andyrock, no, but maybe it landed since? | 15:38 |
| seb128 | attente, did you try desrt / robert_ancell / Laney for reviewing the gtk-mir change? | 15:38 |
| seb128 | one of them might be able to find some review cycles for you? | 15:39 |
| attente | i haven't asked anyone yet :) | 15:39 |

| seb128 | * Had someone comment on bug 1574324 about the latest puse SRU fix for that bug breaking bluetooth for them... *sigh* there had to be some hardware that would be worse with that change wouldn't there. :S Need to look at the log they provided, and go from there. Not going to mark as regression yet, because this fixes things more than it does break things, based on user feedback. | 15:51 |
| seb128 | * Discussions about input events and accessibility begun, but decided to talk to upstrea accessibility devs first, and based on that conversation, it is something that needs to be written up in a spec, and will likely require accessibility dev involvement in upstrea mprojects to implement it. I've got some questions to run by them, but other than that I will have to look at writing the spec myself, since we are needing it sooner rather than l | 15:51 |

| seb128 | * Migration to the use of espeak-ng in main continues, most of the work being done in Debian, at which point we can sync/merge when everything is ready, and it will be a matter of filing a MIR once everything is built and available in universe... Part of the process has been to separate out as much as possible into separate packages, which brings multiple benefits anyway. | 15:51 |
| seb128 | * Further testing for bug 1641954, and can reproduce, so will proceed with the SRU in the coming week. THis is only a problem in Xenial, since the fix is in newer versions of pulseaudio. | 15:51 |

| seb128 | Laney, k, let me have a look to your earlier requests | 15:56 |
| seb128 | dgadomski, then I look at your bug | 15:56 |
| dgadomski | seb128: great, thank you! | 15:56 |
| seb128 | Laney, doing the requests in order, gyoto deleted but I let you deal with doing a copy or upload of the old version | 16:05 |
| Laney | seb128: ok will do, if you're doing it in order then qgis was first ;-) | 16:07 |
| seb128 | Laney, right, did that but I had no comment about that one ;-) | 16:07 |
| Laney | k, just wanted to make sure it wasn't missed | 16:07 |
| seb128 | right | 16:08 |
| seb128 | Laney, k, I think I got the things you asked for now, let's see at the next round | 16:16 |
| Laney | seb128: thanks! | 16:17 |
| seb128 | yw! | 16:19 |
| seb128 | andyrock, got things to work without proposed? | 16:19 |
| seb128 | dgadomski, can you reproduce that libgl issue? | 16:25 |
| dgadomski | seb128: yes, easily, my only concern is whether gtk should have an explicit runtime dependency on libGL.so or should it check in runtime before making the mentioned call | 16:28 |
| seb128 | dgadomski, weird, is that amd64 specific? | 16:28 |
| === PaulW2U_ is now known as PaulW2U | ||
| seb128 | I'm on i386 but with a pbuilder I don't have libGL.so.1 installed and gtk binaries start without issue | 16:29 |
| dgadomski | seb128: the way I was able to reproduce it was to run it remotely (ssh -X) on xenial from a Windows host (cygwin with X) | 16:30 |
| dgadomski | from a linux client it worked flawlessly - is it possible that it was due to my local libGL.so? | 16:30 |
| seb128 | well, started from ssh it has access to the same fs no? | 16:31 |
| dgadomski | tbh I'm not sure what happens under the good of gtk with ssh -X | 16:32 |
| dgadomski | but installing libgl1-mesa-glx on the remote host fixes it for non-Linux hosts (I was told that it also happens on OS X) | 16:35 |
| seb128 | k, could be a gtk upstream bug | 16:36 |
| seb128 | dgadomski, but yeah, that symbol seems to be from libGL so unsure why there is no depends generated | 16:45 |
| dgadomski | seb128: there is a decent number of libGL calls inside gdk/x11/gdkglcontext-x11.c so it's really weird that nothing is linked against it | 16:47 |
| seb128 | dgadomski, libGL is diverted by e.g the nvidia drivers so I don't know if that has to do with it... | 16:48 |
| dgadomski | I'll file an upstream gtk bug and see what's their opinion about this | 16:50 |
| seb128 | it might not be an upstream issue if it's a missing depends | 16:51 |
| seb128 | you can maybe check if Debian has the same issue and report it there | 16:51 |
| dgadomski | seb128: ok, I'll try to reproduce it with Debian, thanks for taking a look | 16:52 |

| attente | robert_ancell: i think so | 23:23 |
| * attente checks | 23:23 | |
| robert_ancell | attente, we should update the glib docs | 23:23 |
| robert_ancell | I see other GTK+ code does it | 23:23 |
| attente | yeah, no hash function means g_direct_hash, and no equal func means literal == | 23:25 |
| attente | robert_ancell: i have those patches on the branch wip/attente/mir-content-hub, which is pre-gtk-4 | 23:27 |
| attente | so you can test it against gedit, or gtk3-demo | 23:27 |
