[08:00] good morning [08:02] hey [08:06] Morning all [08:07] Laney: any idea when there will be iso images for AA [08:07] wasn't aware there wasn't tbh [08:07] not that I've tried [08:08] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/pending/ looks ok to me [08:11] davmor2: They work too (I just installed). But expect Unity7 still [08:12] Also the installer icon on the desktop fails - you can find it in the dash [08:12] instead [08:13] Laney: yes that's not released, released would be in current. Pending is like something in proposed [08:13] I... [08:13] I... [08:13] I know... [08:13] Your question was "when there will be iso images" [08:13] I thought pending meant just pending testing(?) [08:13] it wasn't "why aren't there iso images in current?" [08:14] duflu: yes the same as proposed [08:15] Kind of... except I also thought that yesterday's pending can be today's 'current' and plenty of stuff in proposed is not installed by default still [08:15] So not related to 'proposed' ? [08:16] It's not related to artful-proposed [08:16] It's just some smoke tests that are run on the images and probably need to be configured for artful still [08:16] duflu: yes only the yesterdays is todays current bit isn't happening :D [08:16] Well, for most of the year (fingers crossed) [08:53] Laney: do you know how the transition from unity → gnome will happen? [08:56] ubuntu-desktop will be updated and it will install gnome instead of unity [09:28] Laney: right but would that happen on upgrades too or just fresh installs, I ask because it isn't how it has happened in the past and was checking on the expected behaviour so I can test for it later [09:33] davmor2: yes upgrades too [09:34] it's sort of open what settings will be migrated and stuff though [09:39] Laney: right so at the package level it'll be a gnome-x replaces unity-x and so on right rather than what we have done in the past which was to additionally install gnome-x along side unity-x right? [09:48] davmor2: It won't uninstall packages off your system if that's what you are asking [09:48] Laney: right so people would still be logging into unity by default then [09:51] I don't know what you're trying to get out of me [09:51] No [09:52] Laney: I'm trying to gauge what would happen on upgrade from 16.04.x to 18.04 and 17.04 to 17.10 so that I can confirm the expected happens basically :) [09:52] I would expect some kind of transition from Unity sessions to GNOME Shell sessions [09:54] it's possible that people will still be able to use Unity but I think that will have to be an explicit choice to go back [09:54] Laney: right thanks [09:56] maybe at the very start it'll be a bit rough :) [09:56] I think Ken's going to do the initial bit of work there [09:56] (sorry if I made that up) === muktupavels_ is now known as muktupavels [10:43] * Laney sucks at cdbs [10:46] Laney: good morning [10:46] just convert it to dh ;) [10:47] so, gnome-terminal fails to build because no one submitted Unity7 to https://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/latest/apb.html [10:47] not really something that I maintain [10:48] and 'make check' runs desktop-file-validate https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-terminal/ubuntu/view/head:/debian/patches/01_onlyshowin.patch [10:48] are you sure about that? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97947 [10:48] Freedesktop bug 97947 in general "validate: Add Unity7 and Unity8" [Normal,New] [10:49] can we get allison[m] to approve that? [10:50] Just make it say Unity [10:50] The 7/8 thing isn't the relevant any mroe [10:50] s/the/that/ [10:51] ok, gnome-terminal doesn't run on Unity8 but whatever [10:52] if it turns out Unity 8 gets maintained then we can think about this kind of thing again [10:53] but I wouldn't waste time on it atm [10:53] makes sense [10:57] are you going to sync the other gstreamer universe pkgs? https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-gstreamer-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org [10:58] I think I need to do python and editing something and rtsp [11:00] good morning [11:08] by the way, do-release-upgrade asked me if I wanted to remove obsolete pkgs for artful upgrade; unity8 was part of the obsolete pkgs [11:10] good [11:11] so many people upgrading may get Unity removed (I'm guessing if they manually installed some indicator or something that wanted Unity the removal might not happen though) [12:30] Laney, hi, what’s the status of https://code.launchpad.net/~malaperle/ubuntu-themes/ubuntu-themes/+merge/294568 ? Should I include it in my ubuntu-themes landing? [12:32] mitya57: evidently not uploaded, so feel free [12:33] I thought it was though [12:33] so maybe check? [12:35] Oh right, it was merged [12:35] dunno why the mp isn't marked as so [13:25] hey guys [13:26] kenvandine: I fixed the issue with shadows and resizing in GS.. [13:26] Trevinho, woot! [13:26] I need to cover other cases tho, so I've not a MP ready yet [13:26] Trevinho, what was it? [13:27] kenvandine: 'decoration' class had to set the margin (and the border-radious to get rid of the corners) too. [13:27] Trevinho, cool, let me know when you have an MP ready [13:27] Trevinho, and thanks! [13:28] kenvandine: sure [13:28] kenvandine: for now you can just have the fix with [13:28] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24505169/ [13:32] jbicha: Any chance you can sponsor the gnome-user-docs patch? Since you subscribed to the bug report, I haven't (yet) subscribed ubuntu-sponsors. [13:36] GunnarHj: I'm already looking at it :) [13:36] jbicha: Cool, thanks! [14:02] qengho, hey, not sure if you saw my question last week about chromium translations? [14:02] I was wondering whether https://translations.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/translations/+templates is still in use? [14:51] oSoMoN: I have some tools to construct debian patches to apply Launchpad translations, but they're not well tested. [14:52] oSoMoN: Upstream doesn't carry any translations from Launchpad. [15:03] qengho, and what about desktop file translations? if we were to update the strings in the desktop file (see bug #1668730), how do we go about updating the template, and then the actual translations in the desktop file, is there a tool for that? [15:03] bug 1668730 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "Tweak .desktop Actions for more consistency" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1668730 [15:05] oSoMoN: I don't know of a tool for desktop file, but there may be a generic one. [15:06] * qengho brb [15:27] plars: any chance you could review https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/utah/skip-wubi-more/+merge/323328 please? [15:29] Laney: I'm not a utah guru, and I don't really have a good way to test it but I can sanity check and ack if that's all you need? [15:30] plars: if it gets merged that's what I need [15:30] Laney: done! [15:30] thanks :D [15:31] now... hope the smoke tests run from the branch [15:31] Laney: I have no idea if someone has it setup with tarmac, so let me know if I need to manually merge it or something [15:33] plars, to be honest that python script is fairly stand alone. I believe i did run it just against the iso, sans any utah-voodo [15:33] don't see any bot comments on recent MPs [15:33] plars, it looks like it's manual push thing. [15:34] so no tarmac AFAICT [15:34] :( [15:36] then xnox can kick the job again === ximion_ is now known as ximion_mtx === ximion_ is now known as ximion_mtx [15:41] qengho, I take it from your previous comment about upstream that http://davidplanella.org/chromium-opens-to-community-translations-in-launchpad/ is no longer a thing? [15:43] Laney: xnox: pushed to trunk [15:45] plars: cheers [15:46] happy to help [15:47] now if only I had powers on platform-qa-jenkins O:) [15:48] Laney, to be honest, we need to sort that out. [15:48] Laney, i want more admin admin rights there, to grant other people rights. [15:49] go forth and seek them out [15:49] triggered https://platform-qa-jenkins.ubuntu.com/view/desktop/job/ubuntu-artful-desktop-amd64-iso-static-validation/ [15:49] looks bad [15:51] oSoMoN: Correct. Chromium has professional translators, and were always a bit hostile to translation contribution. [15:54] Laney, plars - hm, i can't remember how new utah code got deployed. i wonder if there is some recipe that builds the packages and updates things. cause i can't see any checkouts of code anywhere at the moment. [15:55] xnox: I think it might have to be deployed on that venonat host [15:56] https://code.launchpad.net/~utah/utah/dev/+recipes [15:56] looks encouranging [15:56] it was built by magic 8 minutes ago. i wonder if it got triggered on commit somehow [15:56] https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-platform-qa-jenkins/+recipe/utah-production [15:57] that's what happens yeah [15:57] but will it get dist-upgraded to on the host? [15:57] let's see if things are better tomorrow =) [15:58] let's forget and remember in a week* [15:58] :P [16:00] aha [16:00] https://platform-qa-jenkins.ubuntu.com/view/All/job/iso-testing-setup/configure [16:01] has things like: [16:01] sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:canonical-platform-qa-jenkins/canonical-platform-qa-jenkins-prod [16:01] sudo apt-get update [16:01] sudo apt-get install -y --force-yes download-latest-test-iso dl-ubuntu-test-iso utah [16:01] [ -d /data/iso ] || sudo mkdir /data/iso [16:01] sudo chown -R jenkins:jenkins /data/iso [16:01] pip3 install --user junit_xml [16:01] looks one needs to manually trigger it [16:02] INFO: Skipped: Skipping images without wubi. [16:03] win [16:06] \o/ [16:08] nice [16:09] keep an eye on https://platform-qa-jenkins.ubuntu.com/view/desktop/job/ubuntu-artful-desktop-amd64-smoke-default/2/console [16:10] argh [16:11] next door are doing drilling [16:12] Laney: downstairs drilling at 11pm couldn't work out why I was so £$%£$%^ at him [16:14] Laney, checkout https://platform-qa-jenkins.ubuntu.com/view/desktop/ now, amd64 went into full test all the things mode now =) [16:14] and i386 will soon too. [16:14] Laney, can we please stop making i386 desktop images?! [16:15] dunno [16:24] xnox: Ubuntu GNOME was probably days away from announcing that there would be no more UG i386 images after 18.04 LTS when Mark made his little announcement first… [16:25] jbicha, after 18.04? as in you still wanted to make 18.04 LTS i386 images? [16:25] * xnox is *sad* [16:25] xnox: yes, because it's not nice to strand people on 17.04 or 17.10 [16:26] so if you want i386 to go away, at least for flavors now is the time to push for it [16:26] http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/current/ looks updated [16:26] Laney, smoke default passed for both i386 and amd64, so the links should be updated, yeah. [16:27] jbicha, you say that about stranding people, the argument was that we will not be able provide security support for i386 for key server and desktop things. [16:28] and therefore it will fallout, e.g. if firefox drops i386 support [16:28] it will affect 16.04, as we do wholesome backports for firefox security updates. [16:28] and upgrades would still be possible without images [16:28] xnox: do you want to start the ubuntu-devel list thread then? [16:28] tjaalton, yes that. [16:29] tjaalton: the Ubuntu GNOME proposal was to *kill* upgrades too [16:29] jbicha: ah [16:29] jbicha, no, you will not be allowed to do that. [16:29] update-manager/do-release-upgrade would not allow upgrading past 18.04 LTS [16:29] because it is a lot of pain, on the archive maintaince side of things [16:29] we have tried to e.g. kill upstart on s390x alone, and that caused a hell of a lot of pain, due to transient arch:all packages. [16:29] which jump hoops with arch:any depends. [16:29] of course, there is a workaround if someone really wanted to install i386 but it wouldn't be supported by Ubuntu GNOME [16:30] xnox: I think I'm talking about something different than what you are? [16:30] also, flavors tend to have shorter support frames [16:31] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/32bit_support [16:31] * ogra_ sighs ... so my terminals are back to taking minutes to start when spawned with ctrl-alt+t ... and i forgot what the workaround was that i had to use last time this happened [16:31] not really, most flavors did sign up for the full LTS cycles. [16:31] jbicha, i think we will keep packages in the archive. Even if we e.g. publish i386 ones into universe, and amd64 ones into main. [16:32] xnox: which flavour signed up for full LTS cycle? I know Xubuntu doesn't [16:32] xnox: I think Kylin was the only flavor to do 5 years for 16.04 [16:33] Kylin 16.04 was just Unity plus a bit more so that makes sense [16:33] not sure about Kubuntu - but I pretty sure others are 3 years [16:34] flocculant, need to check the ubuntu-publishing thing with the info. [16:34] xnox: yes, if you read the wiki link I posted, I explicitly said that i386 packages would still be built for now; there just wouldn't be images and do-release-upgrade wouldn't let you upgrade [16:34] apt-cache should show the years of support field. [16:35] which for kubuntu on xenial appears to be 9m =/ [16:35] xubuntu is 3y [16:35] at least as per metadata [16:36] * flocculant is glad you said that ... [16:36] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XenialXerus/ReleaseNotes/#Official_flavours [17:01] ok, email sent. [17:01] i hope this is not going to hit softpedia / omg ubuntu / what-not like the upstart email i sent the other day [17:03] xnox: you might as well email them too since you know they're going to report it :| [17:04] jbicha, well, i added an opening note for those journalists. [17:05] why do you want to maintain the upgrade path? [17:05] if you think it's unsupportable, then don't have an easy upgrade button! [17:05] jbicha, i do not want to maintain the upgrade path; but we will maintain the archive, because otherwise it is a load of pain [17:06] well you used the words "upgrade path" [17:06] jbicha, server/IoT will be supported, and unwinding desktop on one arch, but not the others is a lot of work, and it constantly clogs up britney as we have discovered when we compiled unity8 on s390x by accident and then tried to back-paddle out of it. [17:06] * xnox goes to read my message again [17:07] xnox: why can't we just have do-release-upgrade and update-manager *not* offer the upgrade if ubuntu-desktop (or similar metapackage) is installed? [17:07] jbicha, on the flavors bit. Yes, because it will be available. We may choose not to publish upgrade-manager metadata, but the upgrade will be available. [17:08] jbicha, we can, but one is better off with supported i386 base from 18.04 even if the desktopy stuff is not supported anymore. [17:08] because we will maintain the core/base/platform stuff for i386 still in 18.04 due to IoT and cloud-guest. [17:08] xnox: then they can just use the netinst or manually hack their sources.list [17:08] my ultimate thinking there was this [17:09] we cannot safely or easily or automatically cross-grade people from i386 to amd64 [17:09] right [17:09] thus we will keep the archive there (even if with updates enabled) [17:09] and just wait for all of them to reinstall into amd64. [17:09] * xnox by updates i mean upgrade-manager [17:10] "continue to support the declining i386 classic desktop/server user base" [17:10] and by support, i mean not do much at all =) [17:10] unless you make it difficult for them, some people will keep using i386 for as long as they can [17:10] qengho, thanks, that confirms what I suspected [17:10] if it's a pain to install, then they might just try the easier amd64 option [17:10] jbicha, i don't want to break people's installs intentionally. The biggest drop-off of i386 usage came from stopping advertising the images. [17:11] (existing installs) [17:11] how will it break installs? [17:11] by making them insecure, because we will have a supported i386 kernel, and I do want people to use supported i386 kernels. [17:11] disabling upgrades, is effectively making those installs vulnerable. [17:12] because internet is a nasty place with funny cat videos. [17:12] I'm sure there will be plenty of guides showing them how to install from netinst because it's not *that* difficult [17:16] I got the impression that in a year or two or so, we will break people's installs by forcibly removing Firefox from i386 computers? [17:17] so it would be better to be more firm about making existing users aware that the platform is no longer supported for desktops [17:21] I don't think we should upgrade i386 users to later releases...just let them get to the end of their support period and have update-manager just pop up the usual "no longer supported" dialog [17:21] jbicha, well, if we remove firefox i386, i'm sure we will install something useful to replace that. e.g. w3m or elinks.... [17:21] * xnox *giggles* [17:21] we will unlikely be testing i386 desktop packages if we don't have install media [17:22] mdeslaur, we currently uder test i386 install media; but we do test i386 packages quite a bit via autopkgtesting. But it is more server/cli focused. [17:22] yeah, but we do test i386 security updates [17:22] mdeslaur, i disagree about the ugprade paths. Leaving i386 users on 17.04 is sad, leaving them on 16.04 or 18.04 is responsible. [17:22] which we probably won't be doing anymore [17:23] mdeslaur, you will because of iot. [17:23] xnox: not desktop packages, no [17:23] and that does include web browser engine [17:23] because of sinage [17:23] signage? [17:23] the kiosk thing [17:24] xnox: I guess getting broken updates is better than getting no updates [17:24] perhaps [17:24] mdeslaur, i don't buy that no test security updates. You are doing them for i386 for 16.04. Thus we can at least make 18.04 i386 desktop a 3year support thing, no? [17:24] mdeslaur, or possibly 4yr because of 16.04 ESM [17:24] mdeslaur, yeah, i am for broken updates on i386. [17:25] at least we will have some feedback about that, rather than leaving, knowngly, vulnerable machines out there. [17:25] xnox: you're suggesting supporting i386 18.04, but just not having install media? [17:25] yes. [17:25] sorry, I need to re-read your post [17:26] I guess we could netinst a desktop system for testing [17:26] mdeslaur, we support existing installs only "continue to support the declining i386 classic desktop/server user base" [17:26] mdeslaur, you will boot the cloud image and install ubuntu-desktop [17:26] we will have cloud images, because we must for cloud-guest container; buildds; adt testing; and to produce/test iot & core/snappy. [17:27] I can install a cloud image on real hardware? [17:28] mdeslaur, yes. [17:28] mdeslaur, it's call MAAS or subiquity [17:29] ah, with the subiquity installer, I see [17:29] have you tried subiquity? the UX is amazing [17:29] xnox: can I use my mouse? :P [17:29] althought it did not succeed for me, to complete. [17:29] no, I didn't try it [17:30] mdeslaur, better you can use Alexa to guide it, thanks to the Amazon Cloud Voice recognition API [17:30] lol [17:30] and auto-configuration with router config. [17:42] GunnarHj: I think I'll have gnome-user-guide recommend ubuntu-docs if you don't mind (instead of depends) [17:44] jbicha: In that case I actually think that depends is more correct. Given the pending changes in debian/rules, gnome-user-guide won't work without ubuntu-docs (no index.page file). [17:45] it depends on how big of a deal the "circular dependency" problem really is [17:45] Is that bad style? [17:45] I don't think I've ever experienced a problem because of it, but Debian people tell me it is bad [17:45] ok [17:46] jbicha: But then I'd say depends in gnome-user-docs and recommends in ubuntu-docs, i.e. the other way around. [17:46] I believe Debian upgrades are more complicated than Ubuntu ones [17:47] GunnarHj: ok, I'll upload gnome-user-docs with Depends: ubuntu-docs [17:47] jbicha: Should I make that change in ubuntu-docs? [17:48] i.e. recommends instead of depends... [17:48] hey guys , my new Msi windows laptop is looking a bit lonley should i install the 16 lts or the new 17 dual boot .. i like the idea i only need to partision one for version 17 drive ? [17:49] GunnarHj: yes, unless someone else says we can ignore the circular dependency issue on Ubuntu [17:50] jbicha: Let's be cautious; I'll change it. [17:52] should i just do Gnome .. aaah im so undesided now ,, want to cry ,,, [18:17] jbicha: Just to be clear: I can wait with uploading ubuntu-docs 17.10.3 until after gnome-user-docs is in release, right? [18:23] GunnarHj: yes or you can upload now [18:26] jbicha: Hmm.. Suppose I can do it now since it no longer *depends* on u-g-d. I'll do so, so we have all the control stuff in place. [18:40] jbicha: g-c-c MIR is "accepted" inasmuch as the only issue I have with it is that unit tests aren't being run [18:42] cyphermox: since you're here, could you look into LP: #1687474 and LP: #1686726 ?
