Laneywe don't usually upload < 10 line changes to packages every day08:12
TrevinhoLaney: sure... It's just that... You know, I find something wrong I fix it...08:12
TrevinhoAnd MP it, as otherwise I forget to do it in batch08:13

seb128hey willcooke Laney Trevinho andyrock, active channel this morning :-)08:15
willcookehey seb128, welcome to the party08:16
sameeehi friends, how do i force quit in ubuntu?08:18
willcookesameee, better to ask in #ubuntu - but...  you can use xkill (run it from a terminal and then click on the app you want to kill), or you can use kill <process id> or pkill <process name>08:19
seb128Trevinho, plugs next to the pool, be careful with water08:24
Trevinhoseb128: it's far from that...08:24
TrevinhoLike in the internal side of the kiosk... But sure, anyway it's always a thinkpad! :-). No water can block it....08:25
Trevinhoor, wait..08:25
seb128Trevinho, but nice to see you still have good time there :-)08:25
Trevinhohey seb128 btw!08:25
seb128hey :-)08:25
Trevinhoseb128: eh, since you had to drop the Sun sprint, I had to do this08:25
Trevinhohow is your night/day? :)08:25
seb128short/long :p08:26
sameeethanks willcooke, eventually it came right08:26
seb128yeah, sorry about the italy sprint not being possible08:26
seb128that would have been fun08:26
sameeejust had to wait a couple of minutes for it all to come grinding to a halt08:26
seb128but it's just delayed :-)08:26
dufluHmm, this gnome-shell stuff has a habit of turning the screen black (backlight on) and not waking up08:43
dufluHopefully we can fix that08:43
seb128report a bug upstream to start maybe?08:43
dufluseb128, Yeah one thing at a time. I reviewed 150 gnome-shell bugs today08:44
seb128you plan to work on/maintain it? or just helping with triaging?08:44
dufluseb128, just cleaning up because I thought it was "easy"08:45
seb128haha08:45
dufluTurns out it's not an easy package08:45
flexiondotorgMorning desktopers08:45
seb128I guess it's also collecting reports for different other components?08:45
flexiondotorgTrevinho Thanks for the email :-)08:45
seb128like when users don't know what to blame they report against the shell08:45
seb128was the same in unity08:45
Trevinhoflexiondotorg: no worries08:46
seb128it was getting compiz, xorg, etc reports08:46
seb128hey flexiondotorg! how are you?08:46
flexiondotorgseb128 Doing well thanks.08:46
dufluseb128, yeah that would be easy. But there was a flood of crashes during 2014. Not sure if that mostly calmed down08:46
dufluWill find out08:46
flexiondotorgHad some time off recently to go to Linux Fest North West in the US.08:46
flexiondotorgNothing like a Linux Fest to blow away to cob webs :-)08:47
seb128duflu, we should probably script close all of those and use e.u.c to track current segfaults08:47
seb128flexiondotorg, nice :-)08:47
jbichaI'm wondering if we should just close all the trusty gnome-shell bugs08:48
seb128still working your way through upstream snaps otherwise?08:48
seb128jbicha, hey08:48
jbichaUbuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS is no longer supported and I don't think anyone's interested in gnome-shell 3.10 any more really08:49
seb128jbicha, segfault, or any report? we should probably review the list and see those which still can be easily reproduced08:49
jbichamost of these: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bugs?field.tag=trusty08:51
duflujbicha, I wish trusty was unsupported, but 2019? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases08:52
dufluFor all packages though there is a spike in mid-2014 because that's the oldest still supported release. Can't just blindly expire bugs08:53
dufluOh, GNOME08:53
seb128duflu, gnome-shell is not supported by Canonical on trusty though08:53
dufluAwesometastic08:53
jbichaif it's in main and a community flavor isn't interested then it's not really supported despite popular opinion that everything is supported for 5 years08:54
jbicha*not in main08:54
duflujbicha: Happy to have any excuse. Just need some URL with an official statement really08:55
jbichaduflu: does this work for you? https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-gnome/2017-March/004211.html08:55
duflujbicha, indeed, thanks08:56
jbichaduflu: thanks for the help triaging; a week ago we had almost 800 open gnome-shell/ubuntu bugs08:57
duflujbicha, no problem. There were 400+ at the start of today. I'll run through them before EOD08:58
dufluEOW!08:58
GunnarHjseb128: Hi Seb! jbicha and I talked some more about docs and translations yesterday. One option ought to be to split gnome-user-docs into lang specific binaries as is already done with gnome-getting-started-docs. Then the required ISO space would be unchanged.09:15
seb128GunnarHj, hey09:24
seb128GunnarHj, jbicha, right, that was mentioned in the afternoon discussion, that's fine but if you unstrip you loose the ability to fix translations on launchpad (if you keep launchpad translations enabled rather than using direct upstream import) and you would require to do source-patching + package SRU to update translations in that case rather than be part of the normal langpacks refreshes09:26
seb128which is fine if that's what you want of course09:27
seb128it's just a tradeoff09:27
seb128also you need to ensure the right -<locale> binaries get installed09:27
seb128which is a language-selector job I guess?09:27
GunnarHjseb128: Please note that docs translations are different from shipping MO files with the langpacks. The localized XML files (which may or may not be stripped) are created only at build time. Hence the manual intervention you mention is necessary whichever route you take.09:29
seb128GunnarHj, so what's the process to build them today? export translations for launchpad manually and copy them in the source package and rebuild?09:30
seb128who does that?09:30
GunnarHjseb128: I do.09:30
seb128do you have an example of a such upload09:31
seb128just to look at what the package diff looks like?09:31
GunnarHjseb128: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/17.04.309:32
seb128GunnarHj, how does it work to get the translations updated then? we need a langpack export after each ubuntu-docs builds?09:34
GunnarHjseb128: Yes.09:34
GunnarHjseb128: It's a pretty heavy process.09:35
seb128so in practice that almost never happens right?09:35
GunnarHjseb128: For stable releases: No.09:35
GunnarHjseb128: Correction: It does happen once or twice for each LTS - "full langpack update".09:38
seb128k, well your call as I said09:39
seb128changing to use upstream translations and split is fine09:39
seb128you just need to make sure that language-selector&co install the right binaries then09:39
GunnarHjseb128: Right. l-s would need to reflect it.09:40
GunnarHjseb128: As regards LP, I see now that templates and PO-files are in the import queue for gnome-user-docs. Suppose it's because the package was moved to main. Is there a way to stop that?09:41
seb128the stripping?09:43
GunnarHjseb128: So if we would set NO_PKG_MANGLE, the translations wouldn't go to the LP translation interface either?09:44
seb128right09:44
GunnarHjseb128: Ok, I see. That's how we'd like it to work.09:45
GunnarHjseb128: Thanks for your patience! I guess the ball is in my court then. ;)09:45
pittiGood morning folks!09:49
pittiLaney: thanks for reviewing the backport request!09:49
seb128hey pitti, wie gehts?09:52
seb128GunnarHj, sounds fine, good luck with the changes09:52
pittiseb128: prima, danke!09:52
pittiseb128: you are back at work now?09:52
seb128pitti, yes, since monday09:52
jbichapitti: I believe phako discussed briefly with you the problem with Ubuntu's shotwell autopkgtest failing because of the iOS patch Debian is carrying09:55
jbichado you have any advice on what we should do there for shotwell?09:56
pittijbicha: right, I remember that, this needs re-recording the ioctls with a real camera to adjust for the protocol change09:59
pittior disabling the test09:59
jbichait sounds like you're saying the autopkgtest failure might not be a real regression then?10:00
pittino, most probably not (should be verified with manually importing from a PtP camera, of course)10:01
pittiumockdev can only replay known conversations, so if the protocol changes then it can't emulate the camera any more10:02
jbichaphako says it worked with his camera so I'll see if he is able to re-record to get the autopkgtest working again10:04
Laneyhey pitti10:18
Laneyno worries!10:19
chrisccoulsonon this survey - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/05/ubuntu-desktop-gnome-extensions-survey-1710 - I see AlternateTab is listed.10:50
chrisccoulsonI'm using that, and find it useful for a different reason than that quoted in the survey10:50
chrisccoulsonI actually prefer the tab switcher to be grouped by application rather than window (ie, the behaviour without AlternateTab)10:51
chrisccoulsonThe reason I use it is because the default tab switcher shows applications from all workspaces, whereas AlternateTab only shows windows from the current workspace10:51
chrisccoulsonie, the tab switcher with and without that extension is not as good as we had with unity10:52
chrisccoulsonthere didn't appear to be any way to add additional feedback ;)10:53
Laney"Hello errors.ubuntu.com, or anyone else affected,"11:08
