[09:40] PR snapd#2779 opened: tests: gruntwork backend and suite; task for sync snapd with vendor [09:41] liuxg, which package have ubuntu default fonts ?? [09:41] and what about mouse cursor [09:43] bulldog, I have designed a Chinese Qt app, and I packaged the needed Chinese fonts. for example https://github.com/liu-xiao-guo/rssreader_slim/blob/master/snapcraft.yaml [09:43] liuxg, my app uses qwebview so i need almost all fonts cause there are almost all languages user can browser webpage into [09:44] bulldog, in that case, you probably need to package all of the needed fonts into your snap. In my example, I packaged - fonts-wqy-zenhei [09:44] - fcitx-frontend-qt5, and make the Chinese input method working. [09:45] i dont know why snap dont want use system fonts :D [09:45] snap package seems to be turning into operating system them self [09:46] now they should ship kernels and other system components so that they can run on anyting [09:46] bulldog, in that case, your probably can try the "classic" snap, which basically it can use the system founts. [09:47] what is a classic snap ?? [09:47] :O [09:47] bulldog, you can refer to my example at https://github.com/liu-xiao-guo/helloworld-classic/blob/master/snapcraft.yaml [09:48] liuxg, my application cant play youtube videos in qwebview , and some people here were syaing thats my coding fault LOL [09:49] bulldog, if I remember correctly, in the Qt SDK, there is an example for that. [09:49] bulldog, you can refer more about classic on our document at https://snapcraft.io/docs/reference/confinement [09:50] liuxg, also the content in qwebview is little bit weired , after packaging in snap format there are white lines around the tag in the html page qwebview is loading into its webframe [09:50] bulldog, ideally, we want everything packaged into the snap, but if you cannot, you may do a classic snap, which does not have strong confiment in the seense. [09:51] liuxg, i have coded the application correctly to play videos , now idk why the hell eaach applications need to ship their own flash players and media codecs [09:51] liuxg, i want my snap in store , will classic confinement will work ?? [09:52] bulldog, the idea behind Snap is that it packaged everything it needs into a single package so it does not reply on the core and other apps. a snap is a self-contained app! [09:52] and i shipped with flash player , and it wont work in snap i dont know wth is wrong with that [09:53] liuxg, i understand that , but they should atleast allow to use some system stuffs like flash player damn [09:54] bulldog, if you package everything into a single snap, it can be installed on multiple distos and run them without the dependence on the distros. however, if you release an app in "classic", it may not work on some of the distros if the dependence is not there. [09:54] now if this is possible , where can i find example of application which is playung video using flash player ?? [09:55] developers are saying its fault in my code , oh god , what ??? few are saying qwebkit cant use falsh player omg [09:55] lmao === pbek_ is now known as pbek [09:56] liuxg, take windows and macos as example , they ships dependencies in packages , but they use systems codecs and flashlayer [09:58] liuxg, with confinement: classic ubuntu snap store will accept my package ??? [09:58] bulldog, it needs to have manual review. yeah, it can be published :) [09:59] i first time come to know about confinement: classic [10:00] liuxg, btw here is my application http://bit.do/ktweb [10:00] i packaged with appimage , and debian format , everything works fine [10:01] bulldog, thanks. it looks very cool [10:01] classic confinement look like what appimage project is trying to do [10:02] bulldog, if you already have the debian package, you may use "dump"plugin to install it in the snapcraft.yaml. this is one of the example at https://github.com/liu-xiao-guo/wechat [10:03] liuxg, i will try , [10:03] liuxg, with classic confinement i cant install snap it says error: cannot perform the following tasks: - Mount snap "ktube-media-downloader" (unset) (snap "ktube-media-downloader" requires consent to use classic confinement) [10:03] bulldog, sorry, this is a better example http://blog.csdn.net/ubuntutouch/article/details/53078713 [10:03] PR snapd#2780 opened: tests: increase snap-service kill-timeout [10:04] liuxg, am able to make snap but the problem is it wont play videos and mouse cursor and qwebview odd rendering of pages [10:05] bulldog, did you try to install it with "devmode"? which removes all of the confinement.

[12:48] yes [12:48] if so that works [12:48] how? [12:48] I couldn't figure it out via the docs [12:48] the `source` entries just need to point to the upstream you want to consume [12:48] just use source: [12:48] right [12:48] also, when using source, is there a way to apply patches?

[12:54] it is, but deadish [12:54] it is on slackware :-) [12:54] yeah, upstream developmennt stalled years ago [12:54] I generate native debian packages with rpmspec using debbuild: https://github.com/ascherer/debbuild [12:55] I've even written macros that replace useful aspects of debhelper [12:55] thats probably fine as long as you dont actually upload to an archive [12:55] s/archive/official archive/ [12:56] nah, Debian people hate me anyway [12:56] at least, that's what it was like the last time I tried to get involved there [12:56] the big advantage of debs over rpms is not ease of packaging but strickt packaging policy ... [12:56] the strict policy *does* exist in some distributions [12:56] Mageia has always had Debian-like strictness in its policies [12:56] its a hrd req. to upload something to an official archive [12:57] well, likewise for Mageia [12:57] and its a pain to learn the debian policy ... which is a req. to become a debian/ubuntu developer [12:57] core, tainted, nonfree sections for Mageia mirror those of Debian (main, contrib, nonfree) [12:58] ogra_, sadly, I know Debian Policy well, but it took years to figure it out [12:58] but after all having upload rights gives you root access on all users boxes ... in both cases, rpm and deb [12:58] right [12:58] unlike snaps ;) [12:58] thats the beauty about them :) [12:59] that's why Mageia has a mentorship program to ensure people do things right: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager and Debian has the whole Uploaders->Maintainers->Developers thing [12:59] ogra_, well, there's a trade-off there [12:59] yeah, same thing as debian or ubuntu have [12:59] you pay a price for having confined applications [12:59] indeed [13:00] but its just a matter of getting used to [13:00] yes [13:00] though interestingly, it has come up before to have something like this in rpm itself, too [13:00] it's just tricky because people *expect* systemwide access [13:01] breaking that expectation is hard [13:01] thats why we have interfaces now ... [13:01] it wasnt always like that :) [13:01] but you know that [13:01] yep [13:01] I was there for some of the planning sessions :) [13:01] :) [13:02] I suspect that the first distribution I'll manage to get snappy *fully* working on will be Mageia [13:02] Can the libreoffice snap access my documents folder? [13:02] because the community is already leaning towards AppArmor as a MAC (as it's better oriented for desktop user focus) [13:03] but everything is on ice until multi-dist base/core snaps are possible [13:03] and once sergiusens does the thing with the making the repo engine pluggable, I can add a DNF backend for RPM based distros (including Mageia) [13:03] for snapcraft [13:04] BLu2, afaik it should ... you might need to connect the home interface if it isnt connected though [13:05] ogra_, I'm using symlink to another HDD for most Home folders [13:05] would that still be an issue? [13:05] ah, that might be a problem ... ask SweetShark in #ubuntu-desktop ... [13:05] he maintains the snap [13:05] (and is LibreOffice upstream) [13:06] but it seems to be more of a snap "issue" in my case [13:06] yes, he manages the snap ... he will know if there is a bug open for that etc [13:47] Just tried the stable Libreoffice snap and it appears that "Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "unity-gtk-module". The snap in the "edge" channel the other day was OK. Can someone do "snap install libreoffice", then run from the terminal "libreoffice.writer"? It should not complain about modules failing to load.

[14:22] simosx, what graphics card ? [14:23] ogra_, Intel(R) HD Graphics Haswell GT2 Desktop [14:23] perhaps a driver issue ? [14:25] simosx: updates look good to me (not too much an expert on how the snap commands are supposed to be used, for that stuff Im just a user like everyone else ;) ) [14:29] ogra_, I had the Intel drivers from 01.org and uninstalled recently per https://blog.simos.info/how-to-completely-remove-a-third-party-repository-from-ubuntu/ I noticed leftovers.
