flexiondotorgUbuntu MATE is going full on indicator support in 17.10. indicator-session was the last indicator missing some MATE integration.08:19
seb128so you use the indicator and plan to keep doing so?08:19
seb128nice08:19
flexiondotorgWe've been using some indicator as an options for ages.08:19
=== hikiko is now known as Guest72511
seb128xnox, ^ see, indicators are still being used08:19
flexiondotorgBut most of the panel layouts in Ubuntu MATE will only offer indicators now.08:20

flexiondotorgThe Ubuntu MATE community asked for the initial indicator support and have been pressing that is it fully supported.08:20

Laneycan you provide a screenshot on the bug report please?09:57
willcookeLaney, same.  That was the official source it was suggested to use, but it doesnt seem to have anything useful.  Spoke to Katherine and she's sent it over to the our lawyers in India for confirmation09:58

jbichaseb128: sorry about delaying bluez' promotion, could you review evolution in NEW since you did e-d-s?14:08
jbichaseb128: Laney: last night slangasek did not want to accept evo because he didn't like the idea of bloating the Package lists with an installed-tests package14:10
LaneyI saw that14:11
LaneyI replied on #ubuntu-release14:11
LaneyBut there's nothing I can actually do14:11
LaneyGet it through Debian and then it won't be the Ubuntu Archive Team's responsibility14:12
jbichaI'm not sure that slangasek is even hard-blocking it, he just doesn't want to approve it himself?14:13
Laney'k, then maybe you can find another AA to do that14:14
jbichaLaney: I haven't heard from xnox yet about LP: #169592814:17
ubot5Launchpad bug 1695928 in gnome-control-center-signon (Ubuntu) "Please remove obsolete UOA packages" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/169592814:17
jbichawould it be better for me to undo dropping e-d-s-online-accounts for now so that we can rebuild address-book-service to finish the Evolution transition?14:17
jbichaunity8 depends on a binary from address-book-service14:18
Laneywhat's the problem with rebuilding it?14:19
xnoxjbicha, =)14:20
xnoxi am happy to remove everything, but didn't review your list14:20
jbichaaddress-book-service build-depends on e-d-s-online-accounts14:20
Laneyok14:22
LaneyI'm good with removing it I guess, but not an AA14:23
jbichaunless there's a differnet problem? (I didn't try with -proposed disabled) https://bicha.net/address-book-service-rebuild.txt14:24
jbichaI pinged you because you were involved in some of the unity8 removal discussions14:25
jbichaand slangasek was involved as the AA previously so I can ping him when we agree on a list?14:25
LaneyI don't know that that can happen quickly14:25
Laneybut if you can identify a subset that lets this move forward, maybe that can14:26
Laneylooks like you woke xnox up, so over to you two if you don't mind14:26
xnoxhahah14:26
jbichaxnox: it's a big long list of interconnected dependencies so I don't know if there's more data I could provide to make the list clearer?14:27
jbichafor normal removals, I'd probably paste the output of reverse-depends into the bug but that would be a lot of pasting here14:28
willcookeGNOME Shell -> Power Settings -> When I press the power button -> I can only suspend, not power off.  Anyone know if Is like that by design?14:36
qenghowillcooke: Sounds like a bug for the reason that it's bewildering.14:43
willcookeqengho, :) I think that was hibernate vs suspend14:43
willcookepressing the power button to turn the power off seems kinda normal to me :)14:44
willcookealso, HI! qengho14:44
qenghoHowdy!14:44
willcookeqengho, are you at your new place yet?14:44
qenghoNope. Moving physically in about a week.14:44
jbichawillcooke: yes it is like that by design, there is or will be an option in Tweak Tool for that setting14:45
willcookeExciting!  Good luck!  Will you be allowed on IRC still? ;)14:45
willcookejbicha, thx!14:45
mdeslaurdata loss is by design?14:45
willcookemdeslaur, as in suspend for ages and the battery dies?14:46
mdeslauryeah14:46
jbichaa direct Power Off action by pressing the Power Button (sometimes accidentally) is bad14:46
willcookeI can't remember, but I /think/ it uses hybrid suspend where it will save to disk and power off when the power gets too low.  But that probably only works on newer machines14:47
jbichaTweak Tool's implementation will call it Power Off but it will be "interactive" where it gives you a 60-second countdown with an option to really Power Off right now (like the software Power button in GNOME Shell)14:47
jbichaGNOME does not support hybrid suspend yet14:47
willcookeI thought upowerd did that for you?14:48
=== koza is now known as koza|away
qenghoHope this isn't offtopic, but I don't see why hybrid didn't always work. Write out the boot-recovery at lid close, and go to soft suspend, and if the soft suspend ever perishes from lack of electicity, then it has a way to boot to recover.14:49
mdeslaurI thought hybrid needed a swap partition?14:50
qenghoYes.14:50
willcookeahh, that could be it14:50
mdeslaurand we just switched to swap files :P14:50
qenghoThough swap files could have worked with a smart loader, and grub is smart enough. Lilo wasn't.14:51
* jbicha blames xnox for everything again :)14:51
didrocksthe issues are some graphics card which can't restate their state properly (weren't serialized) like, some nvidia cards AFAIK14:51
ogramdeslaur, well, so we only support hybrid on laptops with separate HDD-battery ... easy ...14:51

jbichagnome-control-center has a new maintainer so maybe it's possible to get Power Off added back to Settings>Power>Power button14:53
jbichaI'm trying to get the needed setting added back to gnome-settings-daemon first: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/78110814:53
ubot5Gnome bug 781108 in power "Add power off option to power off button" [Enhancement,New]14:53
willcookeMaybe it's not really a problem, I mean you can poweroff from the menu easy enough14:54
jbichabut it's also a GNOME Design decision so it may be stuck in Tweak Tool or a distro patch to gnome-control-center14:54
seb128jbicha, hey, sorry I'm busy in meeting, I have a look after that one is over15:06
jbichanp, thanks :)15:07
seb128jbicha, btw do you plan to work on the network-manager merge/update? that would be welcome if you want to do so15:10
seb128seems like everybody else is currently busy15:10
seb128I can try to help with that maybe next week but things tend to land on my todolist so it might get pushed back15:10
jbichawillcooke suggested that I maybe work with ochosi on that merge to give him more merging practice?15:10
seb128jbicha, he suggested oSoMoN, but Olivier is currently busy with chromium updates and then is going to look at libreoffice updates next week15:13
seb128so maybe for next round15:13
* Laney is interested to try the captive portal stuff15:14
jbichaoops, wrong O name :(15:14
Laneywas wondering if we want to put the required file on an ubuntu.com server somewhere15:14
didrocksis it possible to put it on people.canonical.com for now just for testing?15:15
jbichaLaney: the captive portal thing is blocked by a few things, we'd like to have an option in gnome-control-center (Privacy or Network) to disable it but enable it by default15:15
Laneyit's just a URL in a config file AIUI15:15
Laneyso yes15:15
Laneywhat things?15:15
jbichahttps://rt.ubuntu.com/Ticket/Display.html?id=2960015:16
didrockshum, I bet the config file isn't per user15:16
jbichaI think the proposed 204 response isn't supported by NM yet?15:16
jbichathe g-c-c bug is https://bugzilla.gnome.org/73736215:17
ubot5Gnome bug 737362 in Privacy "Privacy panel is missing switch to disable captive portal detection" [Normal,New]15:17
LaneyI doubt it's been magically worked on15:18
Laneybut the merge would bring Debian's implementation which is okay as an opt-in15:18
seb128we should update n-m in any case, even if that's without that feature in a first iteration15:19
LaneyI am not proposing blocking on implementing it.15:19
seb128I didn't suggest you were15:20
seb128I was mostly saying that for jbicha15:20
didrocksI can ask my fedora friends if there is anything they did as a privacy feature. I would be surprised they didn't15:20
jbichacyphermox: is there a problem with letting Debian exp's new nm-config-connectivity-debian pkg in to artful?15:20
jbichahttps://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-utopia/network-manager.git/tree/debian/20-connectivity-debian.conf?h=experimental15:21
jbichadidrocks: Fedora's solution was to make the config snippet a separate package that privacy-sensitive users can uninstall (like Debian has now done)15:22
jbichait works but a toggle switch in g-c-c would make it nicer15:22
didrockshum, but it means multiple users (yeah I know, not trendy) can't select for themselves?15:22
didrocksg-c-c would need to be per-user, or global with a polkit15:22
didrocksswitch*15:22
jbichayes, the current implementation is system-wide, but isn't networking generally system-wide too?15:23
didrocksyeah, it just means it's not just a settings to implement, a little bit more is needed, but both can be handled15:23
didrocksjust wanted to be sure we are all talking about the same thing :)15:23
jbichaoh, address-book-service fails to build at the same spot even without -proposed enabled :(15:25

gQuigsis there a page/policy describing why the dev release doesn't get Firefox updates?  (I thought it didn't get chromium either, but it appears to get them)19:36
jbichaunless we ignored armhf and ppc64el, firefox would be stuck in -proposed anyway, maybe that's not a good reason and maybe we should just drop those binaries there19:44
