Sweet5harkxnox: huh?10:42
xnoxdocument foundation advisory board10:44
* Sweet5hark was distracted by a build system bikeshed on #libreoffice.10:45
Sweet5harkxnox: ah: clash in the sense of a scheduling conflict?10:46
* Sweet5hark is utterly underprepped for that call too.10:46
xnoxyeah10:49
Sweet5harkin other news, my local 5.3.0.1 build finished somehow ...11:01

Trevinhohikiko|ln: did you get any valid stack trace?13:35
=== hikiko|ln is now known as hikiko
hikikosorry I was for lunch13:36
hikikoTrevinho, this method doesn't work not even for ccsm (see mail)13:37
hikikobut I discussed with willcooke and I am going to try to fix/extend libcompizconfig to do what I want13:37
hikikothen if I fail we could do a hangout and see next step13:37
hikikocheck in a guest env yourself13:38
Trevinhohikiko: the main problem I see with the ini files, is that we're switching to something that loads settings from some .ini configuration, instead of gsetttings13:38
Trevinhoand I'm not sure then ccsm how will act, and what profile will really use13:39
Trevinhoas writing on Default.ini means making ccsm to use it, instead of the unity(-lowgfx) one13:39
TrevinhoSo... To me, if that change doesn't work, it will on reload... Which we might still trigger using upstart/systemd in case...13:40
hikikoi kno13:41
hikikoI changed that13:41
hikikoit still doesnt work13:41
hikikoccsSetBackend fixes that13:41
hikikoI ve found something else worth investigating now13:42
hikikobasically I am looking at the code that loads the Default.ini13:42
Trevinhohikiko: the thing is that if that setProfile doesn't work, it would be worth understanding why it's that...13:42
hikikothat's where I have to start i thing13:42
hikikoyup13:42
hikikoand why only when Default.ini is changed13:43
hikikothe change takes place instantly13:43
TrevinhoPersonally I didn't think it was a problem to even say users to logout to get the session properly set, but... Indeed it's better if that's not the case13:43
hikikoand the other times it doesnt13:43
hikikothis is what I am investigating13:43
Trevinhohikiko: I think it could be caused by the gsettings backend making something weird13:43
hikikoyeah13:43
Trevinhoas in that case it's using the .ini one I guess13:44
Trevinhoand.... We don't want it13:44
hikikoI am using gsettings13:44
hikikonot ini13:44
hikikonoticed that too13:44
hikikothat's a good point but not the only problem13:45
desrti love gsettings users!14:10
desrter.. i mean.. good morning!14:10

seb128davmor2, great, thanks for poking him about it16:18
ximionLaney: due to the ongoing complaints of people about AppStream downloading too much, I will disable icon-downloads in the AppStream package, and have them enabled by GUI tools explicitly17:29
ximionthat way, the icons are only downloaded if they are really needed17:30
ximionwhich means that when you switch to AppStream 0.10.6, you'll also need to ship a small apt.conf snippet with GNOME Software17:30
Laneyhi ximion17:31
Laneyongoing by who?17:31
ximionLaney: bug reporters, people on IRC, ...17:32
Laneyriiiiiiiiight17:32
ximionthis will not stop people complaining, but will make them complain at the right place ;-)17:32
Laneywell I wouldn't do this in a stable series if I were you17:32
ximionalso, the real reason why I do this is for server people and others using AppStream to find firmware on non-GUI systems. If there is no GUI, there is no point for downloading icons17:33
ximionI also hope this change will make it easier later to enable/disable HiDPI icons17:33
ximionthe impact on Debian should be zero, since we will upload a new GS for Stretch in time17:34
Laneyyou should do it with a Breaks on broken SCs imho17:35
Laneythose opinions aside, seems fair enough to me17:36
seb128Laney, attente, ximion, did you see any report/discussions about fd leaks in g-s?17:36
Laneyno17:36
seb128hum, k17:37
seb128bug #1648534 is the most reported issue on e.u.c17:37
ubot5bug 1648534 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "/usr/bin/gnome-software:5:g_wakeup_new:g_main_context_new:g_dbus_connection_send_message_with_reply_sync:g_dbus_connection_call_sync_internal:g_dbus_connection_call_sync" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/164853417:37
ximionLaney: jup, I am thinking about that, but I might accidentially break Ubuntu's gnome-software that way17:37
Laneydon't follow upstream bugs though, so there could be one there17:37
seb128but doesn't seems to do it for robert_ancell or me17:37
attentehaven't seen any either17:37
seb128there is over 1.8M reports17:38
seb128https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/70c23d0f4e2be24b26672427d4218dc8f082359717:38
seb128wonder what's going on17:38
Laneywhy are almost all the incoming requests for an old version?17:43
seb128good question17:47
seb128could be a liveCD issue17:47
seb128is that the version on the iso?17:47
Laneyit is17:48
Laneybut if you click on the reports some of them are from installed systems17:48
seb128users don't do updates...17:48
Laneyis it being stopped by phased updates?17:48
* Laney tries to remember how to check17:49
seb128Laney, http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/phased-updates.html17:49
Laneyhttp://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/phased-updates.html17:49
Laneyhmm nope17:49
seb128it's not on there so I guess not17:49
Laneywtf17:49
seb128I would just say that users don't do updates17:49
seb128we have issues with update-manager not auto-opening often in xenial17:50
Laneymeh17:50
Laneywell the numbers look good for it being better17:50
Laneybut hard to know17:50
seb128and the gnome-software/notify-osd non interactive notifications are probably not very sucessful on getting them to open the upgrade tools17:50
seb128yeah :-/17:50
Laneyhope someone's looking at those update problems ;-)17:53
seb128we fixed some, unsure what's the situation today17:55
* Laney posted a quick summary on the bug, maybe robert_ancell can confirm that if he tries18:06
Laneynighty night18:06

dmj_s76cyphermox: merge proposal for Humanity to add @2x icon support: https://code.launchpad.net/~dmj726/humanity/hidpi-2x/+merge/31516622:50
dmj_s76Fixes a couple hidpi bugs:22:50
dmj_s76https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/humanity-icon-theme/+bug/165786322:50
dmj_s76https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/162268622:50
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1657863 in humanity-icon-theme (Ubuntu) "Icons are too big or the wrong icon is shown on hidpi screens" [Undecided,Confirmed]22:50
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1622686 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "double header in 16.10" [Medium,In progress]22:50
cyphermoxdmj_s76: we should get input from the desktop team, because this won't only affect the installer.23:38
dmj_s76certainly23:39
dmj_s76This will affect how icons look on hidpi systems (making them look the same as on lowdpi systems)23:40
dmj_s76Right now the Humanity icons look noticeably different on hidpi systems.23:42
dmj_s76Icon size issues, icons in buttons using different metaphors on a hidpi vs lowdpi screen, icons generally having much thinner strokes on hidpi than low.23:43
dmj_s76Adding @2x support fixes those issues while keeping lines and curves nice and sharp on hidpi screens.23:44
