dufluHi oSoMoN06:25
oSoMoNhey duflu!06:25
jameshhi oSoMoN, duflu06:26
dufluAfternoon jamesh. Did you get to SOTA?06:26
oSoMoNhey jamesh06:26
jameshduflu: yep.  Other than the cigarette and (small amount of) marijuana smoke, it was pretty good06:26
jameshand it didn't rain this year06:26
duflujamesh: Yeah though on the right hand side the portaloos smelled more than the smoke06:27
jameshLast year it started raining really hard towards the end, and there was no all ages area covered by the tent06:28
dufluFun06:29
dufluIn hindsight though, if you're trying to regain your hearing after illness, live rock is a poor remedy06:29
jameshIn general, I think they ran it better this year06:31
jameshThe UK election result is really close06:33
dufluNot decided?06:34
jameshlooks like a hung parliament, probably with Tories governing as a minority06:35
dufluWell that didn't work06:35
jameshThe Scottish National Party has also suffered, but I don't know enough to know why06:36
jameshI'm kind of glad it didn't go as the polls predicted06:37
dufluSo... PM Johnson and President Trump. There won't be a slow news day for a while06:37

andyrockhey jbicha! any news about the unity test failure?08:35
seb128good morning desktopers09:03
jbichaandyrock: good morning, no, were you waiting on something from me?09:04
dufluHi seb12809:04
andyrockjbicha: to build the silo :)09:04
andyrockI'll ask Trevinho09:04
seb128hey jbicha andyrock duflu, how are you?09:04
seb128duflu, almost w.e for you!09:05
LaneyHI!09:05
seb128jbicha, thanks for starting those discussions on the list09:05
dufluseb128: Yeah getting close. So I decided to end the week fixing light-themes issues :)09:05
seb128jbicha, looks like logical step now is to question if we want wayland to be default for the coming LTS or if it's too early for that09:05
seb128duflu, nice!09:05
dufluseb128: Also that bluez issue is not a bluez bug. Still fixed....09:05
seb128I saw09:05
seb128pitti commited your fix?09:05
dufluseb128: Yes committed but it will be a little while before the next upstream release09:06
jbichahttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=wayland09:06
seb128duflu, we can backport it to artful09:06
seb128jbicha, is that a "yes, wayland is not there yet"? ;-)09:07
dufluseb128: Yeah, whatever works. I was happy to wait for pitti's next release. Depends if the release process requires that fix immediately09:07
pittiduflu: the NetworkManager tests fail, apparently current nmcli now expects an ObjectManager interface09:07
jbichaseb128: it's more of a these are some known issues, but they don't affect everybody09:07
pittiduflu: dbusmock does support that in principle now, but just adding it doesn't help, so that needs some investigation09:07
duflupitti: No problem... I'm about to hit the weekend (*shrug*)09:08
andyrockseb128: hey who should I ask to get permissions to create silos? just curious, i can "use" :D Trevinho for the moment09:08
seb128duflu, well, the bluez update is going to be blocked in proposed until the fix is uploaded09:08
dufluYeah fair enough09:08
dufluseb128, No rush. We were expecting a slower release anyway09:09
jameshObjectManager is a bit of a non-interface09:10
jameshit's a pain to use with udisks209:10
sschuhmann_Hey, I have some problem configuring my touchpad correct. Someone has worked with touchpads on ubuntu yet?09:10
sschuhmann_Or am I in the wrong channel?09:10
jameshsschuhmann_: maybe describe your problem, and then someone might be able to help?09:11
sschuhmann_Sorry, sure09:11
jbichafor 17.10 we do need to document some way for users to be able to run GNOME on X09:12
jbichaand we can adjust if necessary for 18.0409:13
sschuhmann_I set up ubuntu on my new laptop, everything is working good so far, just when I click the touchpad I'm not able to move with a different finger. The touchpad itsself is a multi touch and recognizes multi finger actions though09:13
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
duflusschuhmann_, I found similar issues on a laptop. Installing gnome-tweak-tool I was able to find a setting that worked (regained the ability to right click with two fingers)09:21
dufluCan't remember what it was but there aren't many options09:21
dufluI would say right-click-with-two-fingers should be the default09:22
dufluSo that's a bug.09:22
dufluOh perhaps it was two-finger scrolling09:22
dufluI can't remember now09:23
dufluThat too should be on by default :)09:23
sschuhmann_Both is working like a charm. It only happens when I click the hw button (underneath the trackpad) and try to move the pointer09:23
* duflu powers on a laptop to test again09:24
duflu(although possibly the wrong laptop)09:24
sschuhmann_Worked me through the settings and played a bit the settings09:24
sschuhmann_duflu: awesome09:25
sschuhmann_Not sure though if it's a hw problem or software09:25
duflusschuhmann_, Nope, dragging while holding the hw button works here. Please log a bug using this command: 'ubuntu-bug gnome-shell' and add a comment about your laptop model09:26
duflu(although right click with two fingers isn't working by default)09:26
sschuhmann_Can i log the bug from the irc with the command?09:28
duflusschuhmann_: Ideally open a terminal on the laptop (Ctrl+Alt+T) and then run the command there09:28
sschuhmann_duflu: Thanks for your help :)09:29
duflusschuhmann_: No problem. And if the above fails then just use this:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+filebug09:29

jbichaum, is that the what session do we ship in 17.10 discussion? I'm not sure we're ready for a decision on that today11:03
seb128jbicha, ?11:04
Laneythat?11:04
seb128jbicha, that's the log from the meeting from tuesday11:04
seb128for the weekly newsletter11:04
jbichaI think we need to offer a documented fallback to X, whether it's a separate install or whatever11:05
* oSoMoN goes camping11:05
oSoMoNhave a good week-end everyone11:05
seb128jbicha, yeah, we should also have the discussion on wheter X or wayland is default, but in any case we want to make it easy for users to try to the other variant11:11
seb128mdeslaur, why do you ask us if we have a strategy for security updates? ;-) but no, ongoing discussion as you probably know...11:14
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
=== ogra is now known as ogra_
mdeslaurseb128: it's a big problem that will require more than just the security team to solve. It was mentioned that RHEL update to a new gnome release every couple of years and perhaps the desktop team would commit to doing that, etc.11:15
seb128mdeslaur, yes, it's an ongoing discussion and what we think we might have to do11:16
seb128it probably going to be discussed before et at GUADEC11:16
mdeslaurthe only options are: 1- don't update mozjs and only parse trusted content (unlikely), 2- update to a new GNOME release regularly, 3- Backport fixes to old mozjs releases, 4- backport new mozjs and gjs into old gnome releases11:19
mdeslaurall options have a significant amount of pain11:19
andyrockjbicha, seb128 ok Trevinho approved the mp11:21

andyrockjbicha: done thanks!11:23
seb128andyrock, great11:23

kenvandinethe guest session is super useful for testing15:11
