davmor2Morning all08:06
seb128w.e was good, we had dinner/played game with friends on saturday evening and went to vote yesterday then had lunch on the sea front08:07
seb128bit windy but sunny so it was nice08:07
seb128hey davmor208:07
Laneyah voting08:08
Laneydid you have to go somewhere?08:08

davmor2seb128: when does Frexit happen now?08:09
Laneythey said that "wintery" weather is coming back08:09
davmor2Laney: it's England like the opposite of the Spanish Inquisition You always expect the wintery weather08:10
seb128Laney, I voted in France (well gave a mandate to somebody to vote for me) but my gf is registered in .nl and the voting station was in the french school in den haag (which is close from the hotel we were at)08:11
Laneygood old den haag08:12
seb128:-)08:14
seb128hum, french news seems to suggest that u.k news focus on Le Pen "success" even if she's not having the lead in the first round08:15
seb128is that true?08:15
seb128I guess I can have a look to google news titles fro the u.k edition08:15
Laneynot likely to be anything I'd have seen :P08:16
Laneythey were mainly talking about people getting behind Macron now on Radio 4 this morning08:16
Laneycordon sanitaire!08:17
seb128lol08:17
Laneybut no accounting for some of the newspapers...08:17
seb128they mention the times frontpage08:19
seb128anyway, good results mostly08:19
seb128would have been better with Le Pen in 3rd but I'm not going to complain too much08:19

oSoMoN'morning!08:36
seb128hey oSoMoN! how are you? had a good w.e?08:36
oSoMoNhey seb128, yeah the week-end was good, if you except the elections hangover…08:40
seb128oSoMoN, did you drink to celebrate or to forget? :p08:40
oSoMoNthe latter…08:40
oSoMoNI actually spent the whole day yesterday helping to manage the elections office in Barcelona, twas quite an interesting experience, regardless of the results08:41
oSoMoNseb128, ever seen something like bug #1685747 (in xchat or other apps)?08:44
ubot5bug 1685747 in xchat-gnome (Ubuntu) "xchat-gnome crashed with SIGSEGV in gdk_wayland_display_get_selection" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/168574708:44
seb128oSoMoN, how long were the voting queues in Barcelona?08:44
oSoMoNseb128, pretty reasonable, the peak time was just before lunch, I think people had to wait max 30min08:44
seb128that's ok, I saw pictures of people waiting for hours in other countries08:45
dufluLast night's news showed longs queues in AU too. There are ~15K registered French voters (which apparently is like 20%)08:45
seb128oSoMoN, never saw that segfault or similiar sorry (but I've not been using GNOME/wayland yet)08:45
oSoMoNyeah, I just switched back to gnome/x11 for now, IRC needed08:46
duflu... 20% of eligible potential voters08:46
seb128duflu, only 20% of french people who could vote registered here? that seems low...08:47
dufluseb128: Yes must be too much sun or something08:48
dufluAustralian apathy is infectious08:48
oSoMoNI heard 27k registered voters in the Barcelona area, and when I left the office in the evening shortly before it closed the turnout was less than 50%08:48
oSoMoNwhich I thought was pretty bad08:49
xnoxTrevinho, can we have unity landing with the three approved branches into artful? or shall I just upload my no-upstart-dep into artful?09:02

pittioui ! I guess some Melanchon/Fillon voters might swing to Le Pen, but I'd expect the majority of the others to favor Macron, no?09:17
Laneyhaha09:17
LaneyI will never predict an election again09:18
pittigood point09:18
pittialthough admittedly predictions for that one were pretty good09:18
didrockspitti: yeah, it seems that it's going to be an easy win, but as Laney told… :)09:18

xnoxseb128, he looks a bit like a twat, and took ages to go on stage.... waving waving and waving, then doing a cheeky wink too....09:34

xnoxseb128, she looks hot on the other hand, sounds reasonable, her youtube video is amazing09:35
seb128hot?09:35
xnoxseb128, and it won't matter at all who is elected as neither have any assembly seats to achieve anything.09:35
seb128you are not confusing her for her niece?09:35

Trevinhoseb128: when you've some time could you check that ucc MP I've? Since they're done...10:05
Trevinhoxnox: emh... I don't see artful in bileto10:06
xnoxTrevinho, yeah, i pinged sil2100 to fix that =)10:08
xnoxTrevinho, i went to check, cause i realised you would want to use that. =) should be fixed sometime soonish.10:09
Trevinhoxnox: so once that is done, if I might be offline, hit the build trigger at https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/273010:09
sil2100Yeah, on it now ;)10:09
xnoxack10:09
Trevinhoxnox: nice ;-)10:09
xnoxand then we might be able to kill upstart by end of day10:09
sil2100Trevinho, xnox: it is now done10:36
sil2100xnox: I had to find some nice way to clear the lru_cache for the active_series() method - I couldn't remember the nice method so we just did a touch-and-redeploy thing10:37
xnoxworks for me =)10:37
xnoxtriggered to build it.10:39
xnoxTrevinho, i changed target to artful, and triggered build. hopefully it will bake fine =)10:39
Sweetsharkseb128: just saw this: in my hometown of Hamburg only 4% voted for Le Pen (at the french consolate) ...11:07
didrocksSweetshark: well, people living aboard are quite unlikely to make that vote indeed :) Even big cities vs small villages (for instance, in Lyon, she is at ~8%)11:14
didrocks(well, in my part of Lyon, sounds like she is higher in other parts)11:15

jbichaanyone want to review my Shotwell packaging at LP: #1581180 ?12:48
ubot5Launchpad bug 1581180 in shotwell (Ubuntu) "Update to Shotwell 0.26" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/158118012:48
seb128jbicha, good question about uoa, did we change the seeds yet?13:01
jbichaseb128: I believe the only seed change done so far is dropping unity813:01
seb128k, so uoa is still in main13:02
xnoxseb128, i was pondering to seed ubuntu-gnome-desktop into ubuntu-desktop just to see the components missmatches and the amount of MIR reports to do.13:03
andyrockhey all13:03
xnoxseb128, or something more sensible than that.13:04
seb128xnox, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/GNOME/MIR_List13:04
seb128hey andyrock13:04
xnoxseb128, any idea if we are keeping qtmir qtmir-gles at all?13:04
seb128xnox, no idea, ask on #ubuntu-mir I guess13:04
seb128xnox, don't seed ubuntu-gnome-desktop in any case, if you want to help just join discussion/work here, don't attack the issue with another angle13:05
xnoxack.13:05
seb128xnox, we decided to start by swapping the desktop env but keep our apps selection, so we are going to have a set quite different from Ubuntu GNOME13:06
xnoxi only hope to remove src:upstart and src:cgmanager soonish.13:06
xnoxseb128, right, indeed.13:06
xnoxbecause i believer there will be fallout from src:upstart removal unfortunately =/13:06
seb128xnox, what is still using upstart? I though unity and the greeter were ported to systemd already?13:06
xnoxseb128, ported -> yes; have build-depends and depends -> yes13:07
* xnox is fixing that without breaking things.13:07
xnoxseb128, but e.g. unity8-desktop-session ubuntu-touch-session are unported to systemd, and I will be asking to remove those two packages.... together with upstart, upstart-watchdog, etc.13:07
jbichaseb128: https://paste.debian.net/929111/13:08
xnoxand i hope the archive team can figure out if we can remove unity8-desktop-session ubuntu-touch-session packages from artful or not.13:08
seb128xnox, jbicha, qtmir is still useful to u8 and quite some work went into that codebase and there was some community interest to keep it an active project so it might make sense to want to keep the pieces in universe13:20
xnoxright13:21
xnoxthat's what i was thinking too, kind of.13:21
seb128jbicha, your uoa to universe question had a purpose? I don't think we have any urgent need to demote it no?13:22
LaneyPresumably to do with the patched in support in Shotwell13:25
jbichaseb128: the Shotwell update drops UOA Support and it looks like UOA is mostly just for Unity scopes then…13:26
seb128Laney, that's ortoghonal with where uoa is though, we can stop using it in shotwell and still have it in main13:26
seb128jbicha, it will naturally drop off the iso when components that use it stop being there13:26
seb128that includes the u-c-c panel, shotwell, unity lenses13:27
seb128it's fine to start by dropping its use in shotwell imho (if that was the real question)13:27
xnoxtedg, is there per-chance some new API in the ubuntu-app-launch to figure out /all/ pids of an app (e.g. launched under systemd) similar to the old tricks of getting freezer cgroup tasks?13:28
jbichaI guess a follow-on question is whether it makes sense to keep enabling UOA in evolution-data-server13:29
willcookeI'd be +1 on dropping in in eds13:29
Laneyseb128: yes I understand, but I was answering your question about whether it has a purpose13:30
* Laney is good with dropping it off naturally13:30
seb128jbicha, Laney, willcooke, it's probably fine to disable in eds, it opens the question of accounts migration on upgrade though I guess, but we are not going to keep uoa just for that purpose13:33
seb128unsure if we can easily be smart about accounts13:33
Laneythat would be nice as a wishlist thing yeah13:33
seb128or if we just need to document that users are going to need to re-add them through goa13:33
Laneyprobably should put that on some list to care about13:34
willcookeimo, it's been broken for a while, so not sure how many people have been using it13:34
seb128+113:34
Laneynot sure if there is one13:34

Laneyit just wigs out and loses the session often13:34
Laneybut it is synced in the indicator13:35
seb128and doesn't work when you add it until you restart the session13:35

tedgxnox: Yup, you can grab it from the instance object, pids() returns a vector.14:36
tedgxnox: You can also call ubuntu-app-launch-pids14:37
xnoxnice.14:37
tedgxnox: But those will only really work on U8...14:37
xnoxtedg, qtmir exposes something similar via dbus, by iterating things with cgmanager DBusFocusInfo::fetchAssociatedPids(pid_t pid)14:38
xnoxtedg, do you happen to know if autopilot switched from qtmir dbus api, to the ubuntu-app-launch pids() api?14:38
tedgxnox: I'm not sure, but I think qtmir uses ual as its backend there.14:40
tedgxnox: So it should be *much* faster under systemd than Upstart.14:40
xnoxtedg, nope, it links cgmanager, gets cgmanager dbus proxy object, looks up cgroup path to contain /upstart/ and checks the freezer group for tasks.14:41
xnoxat least for that call, which is exposed via dbus, which supposedly only autopilot uses14:41
xnoxmaybe it uses ual api somewhere else, but i didn't look.14:41
xnoxtedg, thank you very much for your responses!14:42
xnoxtedg, from #ubuntu-mir channel <greyback> xnox: right. UAL does make that possible, we just kept neglecting that particular bit of cod14:42
xnoxi shall open a bug report.14:42
greybackyep, it is an old bit of code, new UAL can probably help it out14:43
tedgxnox: greyback: Also, just FYI, under systemd the freezer group isn't used. Shouldn't be a big deal, but so you don't get confused.15:12
greybacktedg: is there an equivalent?15:13
tedggreyback: systemd makes its own.15:13
tedggreyback: The proper answer there is "oh, of course it has its own everything" ;-)15:13
greybacktedg: I grimanced. Will that do?15:14
xnoxi think qtmir wants to care what ual things about things, rather than whatever systemd thinks.15:14
xnox*thinks about things15:15
tedggreyback: Localized systemd distaste.15:21
kenvandinehey tedg15:21
tedgHowdy kenvandine15:21

davmor2a1fa: both gnome and kde can be made to look and feel pretty similar to unity to be honest so either with some tweaks will suffice15:50

a1fa+215:51
a1fajbicha: desparate for new DE15:52
davmor2a1fa: https://popey.com/blog/posts/my-ubuntu-1604-gnome-setup.html and for kde https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1i7jAtHcw415:55
a1fadavmor2: i got gnome3 setup just like that - except it sucks15:55
a1fanot the same15:55
seb128a1fa, having specifics about why GNOME suck could be useful, we might be able to address some of the concerns, improve things, recommend extensions etc16:23
seb128but we want to know what issues our users are having migrating to the new desktop16:23
seb128out of "it's different" which we are probably not going to fix, it's going to require some getting used to16:24
Trevinhoxnox: check #ubuntu-ci-eng for details, but... bileto fails for now16:28

Blu2What happens to the Ubuntu SDK now btw?17:26
a1faseb128: its quirky -- i think most of the problems come from having to extensively utilize 3rd party extensions17:36
