| RAOF | Hey, now that we're on the hook for GNOME Shell, could we please implement some sort of attempt at focus-stealing-prevention, rather than the current approach of ”it's hard, let's go shopping”? | 02:21 |
|---|---|---|
| duflu | RAOF: I know that's your pet peve. Mine is the lack of precision in libinput... Generally though we're keen to not do the development downstream so please feel free to remind upstream. | 02:28 |
| jamesh | duflu: with that xwayland DPMS issue that came up last night, would there be any downside to xwayland claiming to support DPMS and then doing nothing? | 02:35 |
| jamesh | the X11 extension provides no way for clients to query the state, after all | 02:36 |
| duflu | jamesh: Yes, the downside is that diagnostic tools like xset would then report it's working and the screen would still blank when it shouldn't | 02:36 |
| jamesh | but would you want legacy apps causing the screen to blank? | 02:37 |
| duflu | jamesh, We implemented it in Xmir. Just need to find (or wait for) some sensible wayland API to implement it | 02:37 |
| duflu | jamesh: Yes. Anything that can blank the screen in Unity7 right now isn't causing us pain | 02:37 |
| duflu | jamesh: My analysis is still a little bit of a guess. Would be useful to debug and confirm still | 02:38 |
| jamesh | duflu: I think you are correct, looking at that part of the chromium source | 02:38 |
| jamesh | for Chromium in particular, it doesn't seem to do anything with the DPMS extension other than query whether the screen supports it | 02:39 |
| jamesh | it then uses completely different means to prevent blanking | 02:40 |
| jamesh | which is a little weird | 02:40 |
| duflu | jamesh: Oh.... | 02:40 |
| duflu | jamesh: So it uses a screensaver API to block it? | 02:41 |
| jamesh | duflu: for GNOME and Unity, it is talking to org.gnome.SessionManager on D-Bus | 02:41 |
| jamesh | but it won't even attempt that if DPMSCapable() is false | 02:41 |
| duflu | jamesh: Yeah that's weird. Sounds like a fix might go in Chromium. But not Xwayland | 02:42 |
| jamesh | could probably verify with an LD_PRELOAD hack | 02:42 |
| duflu | Because returning false when you don't support it is absolutely right | 02:42 |
| robert_ancell | RAOF, that annoys me too... | 04:55 |
| robert_ancell | (the focus thing) | 04:55 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, would you be interested on working on some gnome-software bugs? | 04:56 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: sure. What needs looking at? | 04:56 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, basically what's in the Trello board with the gnome-software tag | 04:57 |
| jamesh | okay | 04:57 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690280 might be a good one to start with | 04:58 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1690280 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "Classic confined snaps don't install" [High,In progress] | 04:58 |
| robert_ancell | It needs a design to be worked out for warning the user appropriately of the risk of a classic snap | 04:59 |
| robert_ancell | Then work with gnome-software upstream to make that work | 04:59 |
| robert_ancell | And finally some backporting to older releases | 05:00 |
| robert_ancell | But there's a patch in the bug report which does the actual installing | 05:00 |
| robert_ancell | But let me know if anything else looks interesting. A lot of them have some work done but happy to handover | 05:00 |
| * robert_ancell -> EOD | 05:11 | |

| pitti | ça va bien ! j'aime le temps d'été :) | 07:48 |
| didrocks | oui, pareil ici, c'est agréable :) | 07:48 |
| andyrock | morning! | 07:51 |
| oSoMoN | willcooke, good morning. Just saw your question about chromium window in artful and touch, sorry I missed it yesterday | 08:00 |
| oSoMoN | no idea what that could be though | 08:00 |
| oSoMoN | does it have client-side decorations, or a regular title bar? | 08:01 |
| duflu | Confusingly, when I was fixing my first light-themes bug I found gtk likes to use 'csd' to refer to the decorations that are actually server side decorations. The client side decorations where in the CSS that was /not/ called 'csd' :) | 08:03 |
| Laney | moin | 08:03 |
| seb128 | good morning desktopers | 08:03 |
| duflu | -where + were | 08:04 |
| oSoMoN | good morning Laney, seb128 | 08:04 |
| seb128 | and bbiab, I need to move, be back in 10min or so | 08:04 |
| duflu | 'lo | 08:04 |
| jibel | bonjour pitti! ça va bien, moi aussi j'aime le temps estival :) | 08:06 |
| jibel | (new word for you maybe 'estival') ;) | 08:06 |
| willcooke | morning all | 08:07 |
| pitti | jibel: c'est très proche de "festival" :-) | 08:08 |
| willcooke | oSoMoN, nw! Regular title bar. Also I noticed Firefox is the same. And it doesn't give the correct hints to the shell to show the OSK when needed. | 08:09 |
| willcooke | oSoMoN, Shall I log some bugs? | 08:09 |
| oSoMoN | willcooke, please do | 08:09 |
| jibel | pitti, indeed. Un festival estival! ;) | 08:16 |
| pitti | jibel: 👍 | 08:16 |
| Laney | hey pitti | 08:24 |
| pitti | hey Laney, wie gehts? | 08:24 |
| seb128 | back | 08:26 |
| Laney | pitti: nicht schlecht, danke - gestern habe ich zu shell gewechselt (?????) | 08:27 |
| seb128 | hey pitti, wie gehts? | 08:27 |
| pitti | Laney: sehr gut! | 08:27 |
| pitti | Laney: I tried to switch to Shell like three times, and switched back as it was wasting so much screen space compared to unity.. | 08:28 |
| pitti | seb128: sehr gut, danke! und dir und dem Mini-Seb? | 08:28 |
| seb128 | duflu, pittis, auch sehr gut, maar ein bisschen müde | 08:29 |
| duflu | uh, wie bitte? | 08:30 |
| duflu | :) | 08:30 |
| duflu | Oh, right | 08:30 |
| pitti | mauvais sommeil? | 08:30 |
| duflu | pitti, thanks for the quick turnaround | 08:34 |
| duflu | and sorry my German is too rust | 08:34 |
| duflu | rusty | 08:34 |
| pitti | you're welcome | 08:34 |
| koza | morning | 08:36 |
| Laney | syncpackage: Error: The source package 'gilb2.0' does not exist in the Debian primary archive in experimental, experimental-security, experimental-updates or experimental-proposed | 08:40 |
| Laney | that message made me WAT on two counts | 08:40 |
| pitti | what's the other count? | 08:40 |
| willcooke | oSoMoN, is this the right place for bugs? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium | 08:41 |
| Laney | First one is that glib2.0 didn't exist when I knew it did :-) | 08:41 |
| pitti | ah, I thought the first count was the typo | 08:41 |
| oSoMoN | willcooke, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser | 08:41 |
| Laney | and the second one is the concept of experimental{-security,-updates,-proposed} | 08:41 |
| Laney | yeah | 08:41 |
| pitti | oh, indeed :) | 08:41 |
| Laney | took me some seconds to see it | 08:41 |
| willcooke | thanks oSoMoN | 08:41 |
| Laney | ubuntu-bug chromium-browser! | 08:42 |
| Laney | oh that reminds me that u-d-t FTBFSed | 08:42 |
| Laney | should probably fix that | 08:42 |
| oSoMoN | right, ubuntu-bug is preferred | 08:43 |
| Laney | launchpad doesn't mail for sync ftbfses and britney didn't tell me it was stuck in proposed either | 08:43 |
| Laney | such bugs | 08:43 |
| willcooke | urgh | 08:53 |
| willcooke | Laney, "xdg-open: no method available for opening https://bugs.fooooooooo" | 08:53 |
| willcooke | wait | 08:54 |
| seb128 | willcooke, what did you do this time! | 08:54 |
| willcooke | humm. I installed Chrome. Then it asked if it could be the default, and I said yes | 08:55 |
| willcooke | now restting firefox to be the default and trying again | 08:55 |
| willcooke | nope | 08:55 |
| willcooke | same problem | 08:55 |
| seb128 | artful? | 08:55 |
| willcooke | ya | 08:55 |
| seb128 | willcooke, $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser | 08:58 |
| seb128 | ? | 08:58 |
| seb128 | $ xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler https | 08:58 |
| Laney | thx seb128 | 09:00 |
| seb128 | Laney, for? | 09:01 |
| Laney | handling the query | 09:02 |
| willcooke | Laney, google-chrome.desktop | 09:02 |
| seb128 | yw I guess? :-) | 09:02 |
| willcooke | however, I told firefox to be the default | 09:02 |
| willcooke | oh, it's because that's an old terminal | 09:03 |
| willcooke | doing it in a new terminal shows firefox.desktop | 09:04 |
| willcooke | seb128, ditto - shows firefox | 09:04 |
| seb128 | I guess xdg-utils is having an issue, let me see if I get that here | 09:05 |
| seb128 | willcooke, if you "xdg-open https://bug" you get the same error I guess? | 09:05 |
| willcooke | seb128, so turns out the bug is: open a terminal, install chrome, set chrome to be your default, do all this while leaving the terminal open. Go back to that original terminal and xdg-open is "broken". If you open a new terminal, everything works fine | 09:16 |
| seb128 | k, so xdg-utils is a bunch of shell script | 09:17 |
| seb128 | it probably isn't dynamic enough | 09:17 |
| andyrock | i guess it depends on the way it sets the enviroment variables | 09:18 |
| andyrock | iff it uses env variables to deal with this | 09:18 |
| seb128 | willcooke, so you started chrome from the same command line? | 09:18 |
| seb128 | in practice most users are probably going to install or start the browser from the UI | 09:19 |
| willcooke | seb128, probably not - probably started it from the UI | 09:19 |
| willcooke | I think it's just that that terminal session needed to reread some "stuff" | 09:19 |
| willcooke | anyway, minor issue imo | 09:19 |
| seb128 | yeah | 09:21 |
| seb128 | but how did you try to open the url? | 09:22 |
| seb128 | I would have expected that clicking on an http link in e.g tomboy to open the new handler | 09:22 |
| seb128 | or any other graphical component | 09:23 |
| seb128 | k, dropping offline for a bit | 09:30 |
| seb128 | going for lunch and trying to work for a new place after that | 09:30 |
| seb128 | bbl | 09:31 |
| willcooke | laney, when you get a mo. can you try operating nautilus with touch? I'm seeing very odd behaviour. It's like it thinks I want to select some files with a mouse-drag, but it won't stop doing the drag, and then there are a load of artifacts left over (the outlines of the rubberband). Curious if I'm just doing it wrong | 10:14 |
| willcooke | operating = opening files and folders | 10:14 |
| Laney | willcooke: http://people.canonical.com/~laney/weird-things/nautilus.mp4 | 10:20 |
| Laney | it got messed up because of hidpi but you get the idea | 10:20 |
| Laney | that's all touch | 10:20 |
| willcooke | Laney, interesting, thanks. | 10:21 |
| willcooke | man, hidpi looks nice | 10:22 |
| Laney | are you on wayland? | 10:23 |
| Laney | this is X | 10:23 |
| Laney | and yeah, it's boss | 10:23 |
| Laney | not boss for battery life but you can't have it all /o\ | 10:23 |
| willcooke | :) | 10:23 |
| willcooke | ah, perhaps this is a wayland thing then | 10:23 |
| Laney | yeah just went to wayland, messed up there | 10:29 |
| Laney | do we have a tag or something for wayland bugs? | 10:29 |
| * Laney has the jibel white terminal outline too | 10:29 | |
| willcooke | no white terminal outline here, odd. | 10:35 |
| Laney | lucky~~~~~ | 10:37 |
| willcooke | Laney, shall I log a bug against Nautilus for the oddness? | 10:46 |
| willcooke | and just tag it "wayland" for now? | 10:46 |
| Laney | willcooke: I guess start there, but it's probably going to end up being a gtk/mutter thing | 10:46 |
| Laney | can reassign tho | 10:46 |
| willcooke | ack, thx | 10:47 |
| willcooke | Laney, next question, do you know of any screen recorders that work with Wayland? | 10:47 |
| Laney | shell has something built in | 10:47 |
| Laney | CAS-r I think | 10:47 |
| Laney | that's it, not tried it on wayland though but I assume that it works there | 10:48 |
| willcooke | seems to, thanks | 10:50 |
| Laney | np | 10:52 |
| willcooke | humm, not sure it's really a bug now. Meh, I will log it anyway and we can ignore if needed | 10:57 |
| willcooke | Laney, seems ubuntu-bug auto-adds the "wayland-session" tag, so shall we stick with that | 11:02 |
| Laney | noisy https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=wayland-session | 11:03 |
| Laney | well | 11:05 |
| Laney | maybe those should be triaged | 11:05 |
| willcooke | yeah, it's not too bad, there are some that can probably be detagged right away | 11:06 |
| willcooke | I'll take a quick look now | 11:07 |
| chrisccoulson | does anybody use banshee these days? | 11:09 |
| oSoMoN | haven't used it in years, should I give it another try? | 11:11 |
| willcooke | Laney, some very minor triage done. Only about 5 bugs | 11:14 |
| oSoMoN | trying banshee now, how the heck do I quit the app? (and stop playback, while at it) | 11:21 |
| oSoMoN | pause and close works, apparently | 11:22 |
| oSoMoN | looks like closing the window only hides it while there’s something playing back, and exits the app when nothing is playing back ? | 11:23 |
| === carlolo is now known as clobranox | ||
| willcooke | I think RBox does something similar | 11:23 |
| Laney | willcooke: thx | 11:24 |
| Laney | do we want to try to /fix/ some of this stuff? | 11:24 |
| willcooke | Well, we have a requirement from OEM to make sure touch works well on Shell, so some of the usibility issues, yes we should try and fix. What I'm not sure about is do we want to start on them this cycle. I don't think we'll get much time to do everything else, and we'll uncover a new one every day. | 11:26 |
| willcooke | So I think if we say that making Shell work well with touch is an 18.04 goal, then we should have a good list of issues by the start of the next cycle | 11:26 |
| Laney | I meant Wayland issues | 11:27 |
| willcooke | The ones which directly impact Shell, perhaps - see above. But, e.g. "Application foo doesn't work on Wayland.." then probably not | 11:27 |
| Laney | Yes of course. | 11:28 |
| didrocks | oSoMoN: that's exactly the behavior. I was requested in 2010 to implement this design (it's probably a distro-patch, I don't remember) | 11:28 |
| willcooke | Laney, are you chairing the meeting today? If so I'll forward you the updates from those who aren't here | 11:38 |
| Laney | yes, thanks | 11:39 |
| chrisccoulson | Is someone adding the whoopsie settings to the control centre? | 11:50 |
| * didrocks would like we have a discussion about whoopsie again btw | 11:51 | |
| didrocks | (maybe not for 17.10, but 18.04) | 11:51 |
| chrisccoulson | what sort of discussion? | 11:51 |
| didrocks | like going back to the sane report-bug behavior: disabling once released | 11:51 |
| didrocks | and opt-in in the installer | 11:52 |
| Laney | chrisccoulson: don't think we thought about / assigned that yet | 11:55 |
| chrisccoulson | Laney, awesome. I'm glad to be useful once in a while | 11:56 |
| chrisccoulson | Now, why isn't it finished yet? | 11:56 |
| chrisccoulson | :) | 11:56 |
| Laney | I heard you were looking for work to do :) | 11:56 |
| jbicha | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=wayland | 12:01 |
| jbicha | I've just been using the 'wayland' tag | 12:02 |
| Laney | looks like that overlaps with wayland-session | 12:02 |
| jbicha | except wayland-session is automatically added if someone happens to run GNOME on Wayland so the bugs may not be Wayland-specific at all | 12:03 |
| seb128 | if I retry "autopkgtest for python-dbusmock/0.16.7-1: amd64: Regression ♻" on update_excuses, does it retry with the same version or with the current archive one? | 13:16 |
| pitti | seb128: with the current one | 13:16 |
| seb128 | pitti, danke | 13:16 |
| pitti | it doesn't really have any other chance anyway, 0.16.7 is gone | 13:16 |
| * seb128 retries those | 13:16 | |
| pitti | yes, 0.16.8 ought to fix stuff | 13:16 |
| seb128 | pitti, technically it's in the librarian | 13:16 |
| seb128 | or whatever the launchpad db is called | 13:17 |
| pitti | yes, but we only use apt and our repositories (consciously) | 13:17 |
| seb128 | but yeah archive is easier | 13:17 |
| seb128 | good | 13:17 |
| === Tm_K is now known as Tm_T | ||
| seb128 | jbicha, hey, were you waiting for eds to be binNEWed to upload evolution? | 13:48 |
| jbicha | seb128: yes | 13:49 |
| seb128 | jbicha, how did you notice it has been NEWed? I'm a bit curious :-) | 13:49 |
| seb128 | just from the -devel discussion | 13:50 |
| seb128 | (I don't think we notify uploaders about binNEW?) | 13:50 |
| jbicha | I noticed because I happened to check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+queue?queue_state=0 | 13:51 |
| jbicha | I was a bit early uploading evolution as the new e-d-s binaries haven't even been published yet! | 13:51 |
| seb128 | yeah, I was going to say | 13:52 |
| seb128 | you could as well have uploaded it weeks ago and let depwait do its thing | 13:52 |
| Laney | ooh my astrantia has been sent | 14:38 |
| seb128 | hum | 14:50 |
| seb128 | how do one tell update_excuses to consider new versions of tests? | 14:50 |
| seb128 | bluez still has "autopkgtest for python-dbusmock/0.16.7-1: amd64: Regression ♻" but I retried it and it worked with 0.16.8-1 | 14:51 |
| seb128 | but seems like the migration script is not considering the new version | 14:51 |
| Laney | it will get it the next time proposed-migration runs | 14:53 |
| seb128 | great | 14:54 |
| seb128 | thanks | 14:55 |
| seb128 | it looked like there was an update since the retry which is why I asked, but maybe things were not uptodate yet for some reason, let's see on the next one | 14:55 |
| seb128 | k, moving places before the meeting | 14:56 |

| didrocks | * snapcraft-desktop-helper: | 15:36 |
| didrocks | - gtk settings init: theme fixes. Got an issue reported on the forum fixed back today. Implemented the necessary file sharing in snapd in unity7 interface (we will need to rename it at some point in "desktop" interface IMHO). That's now merged, pending on a snapd release. | 15:36 |
| didrocks | - add other fixes to launcher (add more default theming). Did the same for our GNOME platform snap. | 15:36 |
| didrocks | - strip down the size by removing ubuntu-app-platform (old SDK) support and Mir for desktop support. Branched though so that people can easily readd them if they need it. | 15:36 |
| didrocks | * amazon: | 15:36 |
| didrocks | - rebase the snap on the version 1.0 | 15:36 |
| didrocks | - retested fully with rescratching the whole config (with and without the snap). The same blocker persists. Amazon guys acked the issue. | 15:36 |
| didrocks | - discuss with security team and provide the base snap to get an interface working (at least, up to the point we are blocked on) | 15:36 |
| didrocks | * discussed some client-specific snap workshop organization | 15:37 |

| kenvandine | * Enabled the mir backend in gtk and patched out the need for content-hub | 15:43 |
| kenvandine | * In updating my gnome snaps to use the gnome-3-24 snap I found some more packages that needed backports for xenial, so I backported those in the gnome-3-24 PPA | 15:43 |
| kenvandine | * Finished off the blog post on the poll results, and worked with marketing to get that published on insights. | 15:43 |

| kenvandine | yeah, we plan to discuss the status icons api there | 15:44 |
| kenvandine | mpt would be a great addition to that | 15:44 |
| didrocks | kenvandine: on backport in the PPA, does it means that people who will want to use that platform snap will have to install the PPA? Do we have instructions for this? | 15:44 |
| Laney | we should get a topic list going so we don't forget to raise stuff | 15:44 |
| kenvandine | didrocks, yes... and there will be instructions | 15:45 |
| didrocks | "will" ok :-) | 15:45 |
| Laney | also | 15:45 |
| Laney | kenvandine: do you have commit access at gnome? | 15:45 |
| kenvandine | didrocks, once we get a few snaps done and in the store i'll be posting about that on insights | 15:45 |
| Laney | might be an idea to commit that de-content-hubification patch | 15:45 |
| kenvandine | Laney, i used to :) | 15:45 |
| kenvandine | not sure about now | 15:45 |
| Laney | so we're vanilla again when there's a point release | 15:45 |
| kenvandine | Laney, i wanted a little time to make sure those that wanted the mir backend are cool with having it without the pasteboard | 15:46 |
| didrocks | kenvandine: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com sounds a better place for this :) | 15:46 |
| seb128 | kenvandine, didrocks, do we need to use the ppa? or should we just build a -dev snap from it? | 15:46 |
| kenvandine | didrocks, even better :) | 15:46 |
| didrocks | seb128: no -dev snap | 15:46 |
| Laney | ahah | 15:46 |
| didrocks | that was requested, worked on, and nacked | 15:46 |
| kenvandine | bummer | 15:47 |
| kenvandine | that would have been cool | 15:47 |
| didrocks | we can publish a tarball though | 15:47 |
| didrocks | let's discuss that maybe this week? | 15:47 |
| seb128 | I though kde sort of did it for their framework | 15:47 |

| seb128 | jbicha, technical I could yes, I didn't give enough consideration to that list of packages to know if I agree they should go from the archive and not stay in universe though | 16:00 |
| jbicha | seb128: do you know who else I should ping about Unity8 removal? | 16:01 |
| oSoMoN | man, I’m talking slang without even knowing it | 16:01 |
| Laney | https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nob | 16:02 |
| Laney | (rude!) | 16:02 |
| kenvandine | lol | 16:02 |
| kenvandine | "Typically used as an excellent cheap insult. " | 16:02 |
| jbicha | I think gnome-weather is fairly uncontroversial for inclusion in ubuntu-desktop, unless we want to avoid gjs apps | 16:03 |
| seb128 | jbicha, try xnox he seemed eager to press the delete trigger | 16:04 |
| seb128 | jbicha, gjs apps is one question, the geolocation service used is another one, how reliable the service is a third one | 16:06 |
| jbicha | I believe it's the same geolocation service used by the Night Light feature | 16:06 |
| seb128 | still doesn't tell me which one it is | 16:07 |
| seb128 | we should probably talk to the owner of that service before DOSing by making our default install ping it on regular basis :p | 16:07 |
| jbicha | seb128: is geoclue specific enough for what you're asking? | 16:07 |
| seb128 | not really | 16:08 |
| seb128 | there was a question on whether it's fine to hit that service by default | 16:08 |
| seb128 | and if we respect they guideline | 16:08 |
| jbicha | the weather service or the location service? | 16:08 |
| seb128 | both | 16:08 |
| seb128 | whatever servers we make use of by using those features | 16:08 |
| seb128 | they might have conditions stating that it's not fine to use their service like we do | 16:09 |
| seb128 | or in commercial products or whatever | 16:09 |
| jbicha | I believe the Red Hat desktop ships gnome-weather by default so commercial is unlikely to be an issue | 16:09 |
| seb128 | they maybe have an agreement with redhat | 16:10 |
| seb128 | I just don't know | 16:10 |
| seb128 | but I think we need to figure that out | 16:10 |
| seb128 | and talk to whoever is hosting the service | 16:10 |
| seb128 | to at least let them know what's going on | 16:10 |
| seb128 | also I don't know if we are fine having our default desktop "pinging" to third party servers by default | 16:11 |
| seb128 | my other issue is that whatever is returning a location is picking weird places, but that's a minor annoyance | 16:12 |
| seb128 | like it shows me the weather for "zestienhoven airport" | 16:12 |
| seb128 | I'm not in an airport and I don't even know where that place is | 16:12 |
| jbicha | I think we already do ping 3rd-party servers for stuff (Firefox, fwupd, etc.) | 16:12 |
| seb128 | fwupd is being discussed and we are not sure we like it | 16:13 |
| jbicha | seb128: it sounds like you need the Maps app too then! ;) | 16:13 |
| seb128 | :-) | 16:13 |
| jbicha | I don't understand what's not to like about firmware updating | 16:13 |
| seb128 | what is not to like is not the firmware update | 16:14 |
| seb128 | is having all ubuntu install pinging a third party server | 16:14 |
| chrisccoulson | I was wondering about this the other day actually | 16:14 |
| seb128 | our users really didn't like when we suggested doing that toward one of our servers | 16:15 |
| jbicha | well, the captive portal detection will be the same basic thing | 16:16 |
| seb128 | it might be controversial for some of our users as well yes | 16:16 |
| seb128 | we should at least have a discussion about what services we are using, the impact | 16:16 |
| jbicha | at least for desktop, you can't use a web browser without pinging large numbers of 3rd party servers so I think the concern is overblown there | 16:16 |
| seb128 | and document that we are doing so | 16:16 |
| jbicha | gnome-control-center has a Privacy pane where you can disable Location | 16:17 |
| seb128 | maybe that should be off by default | 16:17 |
| jbicha | it makes sense to add the Captive Portal detection there (or to the Network panel) | 16:17 |
| jbicha | disabling those features and services by default isn't actually helping our users IMO | 16:19 |
| jbicha | anyway, I'm done with my AOB for today's mtg now :) | 16:20 |
| willcooke | Laney, those images on the maps thing were purely for my benefit - somewhere to put what they told me other than email. I think I've worked it out now, and I'm trying to edit the maps | 16:21 |
| Laney | willcooke: ok, just looked like some random pictures to me ;-) | 16:25 |
| willcooke | Laney, :) yeah. | 16:25 |
| willcooke | This master SVG is a conundrum | 16:25 |
| Laney | what is the problem? | 16:25 |
| willcooke | Laney, http://imgur.com/a/aa3yf | 16:31 |
| willcooke | Laney, the current border is in blue, and it needs to move to the yellow | 16:31 |
| Laney | isn't that kashmir? | 16:33 |
| willcooke | think so | 16:33 |
| Laney | disputed region | 16:33 |
| Laney | is this request legitimate? | 16:33 |
| willcooke | interestingly Google maps shows something different to me than it does to the guy who reported it (who is in India) | 16:33 |
| willcooke | legal say it is | 16:33 |
| Laney | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir#/media/File:Kashmir_region_2004.jpg | 16:34 |
| Laney | it's that green bit? | 16:34 |
| willcooke | Laney, hmm, I think so. Most of it at least | 16:40 |
| jbicha | willcooke: Wikipedia says that Pakistan controls the northern part of Kashmir, although the whole thing is disputed | 16:43 |
| willcooke | right, I think that ties up with what I'm doing | 16:44 |
| Laney | you're putting it as part of india? | 16:45 |
| Laney | well, if you've got the OK :P | 16:47 |
| willcooke | I'm going to edit it, and then run it past legal | 17:03 |
| Laney | willcooke: if I'm going to be reviewing this then I would appreciate their statement on the merge request to ward off any backlash | 17:08 |
| * Laney thinks this is very sensitive | 17:08 | |
| Laney | night all | 17:09 |

| cyphermox | jbicha: I have some issues with the last evolution upload... it disable 02_nss_paths.patch, which clearly won't apply but is still very required. | 19:18 |
