jbichaduflu: you may want to check apport-symptoms which reports some audio bugs to 'alsa-base'01:18
jbichaslightly outdated version is at https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-dev/apport/apport-symptoms/view/head:/symptoms/_audio_checks.py01:18
duflujbicha, I was mindful of that, but after reviewing a couple thousand bugs really don't want to know right now.01:26
dufluToo painful01:26
jbichano problem, the bugs will still be there :|01:33
jbichathat's a ridiculously large amount of work!01:34
duflujbicha: If you get into a routine it's only days. But super monotonous01:39

seb128jibel, can you log out from the live session and pick GNOME?08:35
seb128well, log out, look if GNOME is proposed as a session on the greeter08:35
seb128didrocks is out for exercice so he's probably not going to reply before a while08:36
seb128Laney do you know if keeping unity on the iso was wanted or if the seed changes were just not complete/enough?08:36
LaneyI would have expected it to drop08:37
Laneywhat's keeping it?08:37
seb128I don't know, I just diffed the manifest between yesterday's iso and today's08:38
seb128I'm currently downloading the iso, another 10min or so08:39
seb128there is a few extra things on the iso but nothing dropped08:41
Laneythanks08:42
seb128but the tasks thing is always confusing to me, maybe those didn't get refreshed08:42
LaneyI wouldn't be super surprised if there's some depends keeping it on08:42

* Laney is fixing another debhelper regression, sorry08:50
willcookeduflu, reading that bug report, comment #10 sounds like he's installed the PA Testing PPA and tested, but that was last updated 8 weeks ago, so is it the case that he's not testing your new fixes?08:54
andyrockgood morning desktoppers08:55
willcookeduflu, ignore.  I read the full report08:55
dufluwillcooke, same fixes just a different changelog. That's what I was referring to earlier though. More people say it helps than otherwise but the evidence of that is scattered between multiple bugs and the other Trello board08:56
willcooke:)08:56
dufluWhen you have an over-subscribed bug, you can't give all users veto08:57
dufluIt's still a relatively fragile area so I recommend to people to log their own bugs for clarity08:58
dufluAnd will do so again when the SRU is done08:58
willcookethanks duflu08:59
dufluActually, probably fragile for years to come. The reason is you're dealing with weak radios and a huge number of different devices09:03
dufluThere will always be someone with something that's not working09:03

duflukoza: More patches are great, but those one was listed as already fixed before I got here. I expect some people will still have very similar issues and will require additional bug reports. But I was aiming to release the original (mature) code unmodified before anything else09:07

jameshseb128: I'm writing a post to the Snapcraft forum about it right now.09:40
seb128excellent09:40
jameshseb128: but the short answer is to click "Open..." and then select your snapcraft.yaml file, and then click "build"09:40
seb128sounds like easy and as it should be09:41
jameshseb128: that will run "snapcraft build" for you.  There is an item in the hamburger menu to go the rest of the way to build a snap package, which will open the file manager pointing at it on success09:41

didrocksmaybe pulled by a libunity or a gir, we will need to rdepends at some point09:56

rbasakI just autoremoved and this made my Artful system unusable.18:40
rbasakI put the autoremoved packages back and this got me Unity back.18:40
rbasakPresumably this is related to the seed change, but I don't see this mentioned in Laney's announcemnet?18:41
gQuigsrbasak: what packages got autoremoved?18:41
jbicha""We are aware of a bug in the daily ISOs which is causing GNOME Shell to fail to start"18:41
rbasakgQuigs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24751024/18:42
rbasakjbicha: I dind't use a daily ISO.18:43
rbasak(well, I did, but not a recent one)18:43
jbicharbasak: what desktop did you last log in as?18:43
rbasakThe default. Presumably Unity. I've never changed it.18:43
rbasakAfter the autoremove (and reboot) I seemed to have Nautilus running but no window manager, with seemingly no ability to start a terminal.18:44
jbichaas a workaround, you can install libgdm1 and make sure you log in to GNOME18:44
rbasakI just put the packages back, and that seemed to work.18:44
rbasakI'm on vacation for a week now, and I'm running out of time to fix it, so I think I'll leave it as it is for now :-/18:44
jbichaI'm still running zesty to better do SRU verification, maybe next week I'll switch to artful18:45
gQuigsthis is my guess at the key package lost - unity-scopes-master-default18:46
rbasakSure, though if Unity was unseeded, that is presumably deliberate.18:48
rbasakI don't understand what the intented plan is for the dist-upgrade/autoremove path.18:48
rbasak*intended18:48
rbasakLaney: ^18:48
jbichapersonally, I think Unity should be autoremoved18:49
rbasakSure, but GNOME needs to be made to work first.18:49
rbasakOtherwise, IMHO, a revert is appropriate.18:49
jbichawhy bring back Unity7?18:50
jbichawe're not even at Alpha 1 yet18:50
rbasakThere are benefits to having developers actually use the development release.18:50
rbasakPlease don't deliberately break the development release. Find a way to develop while keeping things rolling - for example by getting GNOME working before breaking Unity.18:51
jbichawe did not deliberately break the development release18:51
rbasakSure, but deciding not to revert *is* deliberately breaking it when that happens.18:52
jbichabut this is tricky to solve today18:52
rbasakNot reverting changes the situation from accidental to deliberate.18:52
jbichawe only change default desktops every 6 years so this is a highly unusual situation18:53
rbasakSo revert, ask ubuntu-devel@ for an exception, and then try again.18:54
jbichaI don't have upload rights for ubuntu-meta but you could probably go ahead and add the unity pkgs back to ubuntu-desktop18:54
jbichaand we can try again next week18:55
rbasakI don't really want to interfere (except by speaking) without others from the desktop team here :-/18:55
jbichakenvandine: do you want to weigh in?18:55
rbasakAlso I can't stand by any change. I will need to disappear offline shortly.18:56
jbichaI'd like some other Desktop Team member to help with this decision! :)18:56
* kenvandine reads back18:57
BeretI consider the GNOME switch enough of a special case to push through with getting GNOME shell working rather than moving back to Unity718:57
BeretI understand, sympathize, and agree with having the development release always working18:58
Beretbut this is not a usual course18:58
jbichathe bug is that gnome-shell needs gdm's schemas so the best fix is to tell gnome-shell not to do that but that's a bit complex18:59
kenvandineugh18:59
kenvandinei thought robert had tested it without gdm installed18:59
jbichaunfortunately, he still had libgdm1 installed :( just not the gir pkg19:00
kenvandineit would be easy enough to add unity back in parallel for now19:00
kenvandinei'll do that19:00
jbichathanks19:00
rbasakkenvandine: thanks. Don't forget an ubuntu-meta update please.19:01
kenvandineyeah19:02
kenvandinejbicha, should i add unity-settings-daemon and unity-control-center back?19:02
jbichayes, r_basak's proposal is that we want Unity to keep working until gnome-shell works19:03
kenvandinedo they conflict at all ?19:03
* kenvandine doesn't recall19:03
jbichanot really, lots of people have both Unity and GNOME Shell installed19:04
kenvandineok19:04
kenvandinejust making sure19:04
jbichaI mean there's the -synaptics/-libinput problem but that's not been an issue for several months19:04
jbicha*that has been an issue19:05
kenvandinejbicha, i had just been testing the daily live image and noticed shell wasn't starting19:07
jbichawe may want to do a dh_migrations script to try to force the session switch from "Ubuntu" to "GNOME" before we drop Unity7 next time19:07
kenvandinewas starting to debug it :)19:07
kenvandinethis explains it19:07
Beretype19:08
kenvandinejbicha, i committed the seed change, once it propagates i'll update ubuntu-meta19:08
Beretit's because libgdm1 isn't there19:08
jbichakenvandine: I thought I heard you were going to be looking into migrations?19:08
kenvandinejust when it comes time to deal with default extensions19:09
kenvandinei wasn't doing anything yet19:09
jbichaok19:09
kenvandinebut might need to do something sooner for this19:09
jbichaI don't think I've worked with dh_migrations before19:09
kenvandinedidrocks did some stuff when migrating to unity years ago19:10
jbichakenvandine: I don't think it needs to propogate; I think the Unity stuff is still in main: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.html19:10
kenvandineor maybe between old unity versions19:10
kenvandinejbicha, no, the seed change needs to be distributed to mirrors19:10
kenvandinetakes 20 to 30 minutes19:10
kenvandineafter commit it to bzr19:10
kenvandinethen i need to refresh the meta packages19:11
jbichaI never had to wait after bzr pushing ubuntu-gnome's seed before running ./update for ubuntu-gnome-desktop19:11
kenvandinethe wiki still says you need to19:12
kenvandinei'll wait just in case :)19:12
jbichalink?19:12
kenvandinehttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeedManagement19:12
kenvandine<snip>19:13
kenvandineIf any of the ubuntu-meta, kubuntu-meta, edubuntu-meta, or xubuntu-meta source packages build a metapackage for the seed you changed, run the update script in the appropriate source package and upload it (after your changes have been effected in the seeds archive; you will need to wait about 20 minutes for these changes to propagate to the public mirror).19:13
