seb128hey andyrock, how are you?08:33
andyrockhey seb12808:33
andyrocknot bad not bad08:34
didrocksLaney: I am a little bit clueless about where is your amazon upload. I can see in -changes the removal you did, but didn't find where you added your new one (and set it by default on G-S schema)08:34
didrocksLaney: I'm checking this in preparation of the migration script, as I think some translations for that item will be in order08:35
Laneyhi didrocks08:35
Laneyhey andyrock!08:35
Laneydidrocks: it's a package called ubuntu-web-launchers and the gsettings default is set in ubuntu-settings08:35
Laneyhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-settings/17.10.308:36
didrocksLaney: ah, you did add to that one, perfect, thanks!08:37
Laneydidrocks: I guess the migration should remove it if the user removed it from Unity?08:37
LaneyI didn't think about that08:37
didrocksLaney: yeah, that, I need to check the .desktop name as well if it's the same, or do the translation, and so on08:38
Laneynod08:38
didrocksno worry, I'll handle it08:38
Laneyit's different08:38
Laneythanks08:38
didrocksyeah ;) multiple configs, but easy enough :p08:38
Laney08:40
didrocksI need to check as well ubiquity with a new install08:40
didrocksIIRC, we didn't add it by default at first in Unity, then, there was a script adding it in the live session08:40
didrocks(so that it's not on the installed version)08:40
didrocksor we added it and then ubiquity was removing it from the installed session?08:41
didrocksI don't remember08:41
didrocksone or the other, but needs to check08:41
didrocksneed*08:41
didrocksno, it's good, we have it by default, and as ubiquity isn't installed, first unity run removes it. Need to check if the shell has the same behavior08:42
didrocks(we added ubiquity-gtkui.desktop though, not ubiquity.desktop)08:43
jameshwillcooke: it's still waiting on one PPA build, but these instructions cover getting xdg-desktop-portal talking to a snap: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/xdg-desktop-portal-proof-of-concept-demo/102708:48

seb128willcooke, on snappy topic https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/in-progress-snapcraft-2-32/101508:53
seb128"Stakeholders, if there's something you're missing and would like to get it into this release, please speak up!"08:53
seb128I wonder who they consider stakeholders though08:53
seb128and it's snapcraft not snapd08:53
seb128but still interesting08:53
willcookeahh, right08:53
willcookeyeah08:54
willcookeI expect Trevinho, kenvandine and didrocks probably have some suggestions.08:54
willcookeplease comment on that thread if you do chps08:54
willcookechaps08:54
willcookethanks for spotting that seb12808:54
seb128np08:55
didrocksTBH, we don't really have anything on the snapcraft side AFAIK, it's really more on the snapd one where we will get things needed08:56
seb128Ken has items for snapcraft08:57
seb128especially about handling of libs that are coming from content sharing08:58
seb128snapcraft currently tries to be clever and copy them over in your snap08:58
seb128but yeah08:58
seb128most of the blockers otherwise are more on the snapd side08:58
didrocksI guess he got an answer on the forum to do what I suggested some times ago: the tarball08:59
didrocks(which should remove that issue)08:59
didrockswe should do that btw, create a release asset and change the part to reference the tarball09:00
didrockswould need kenvandine to comment here though so that we can coordinate ^09:00
seb128the tarball wouldn't solve his issue I think09:00
seb128his case is that he uses the framework09:01
seb128+ he needs libgtksourceview that isn't in the gnome platform09:01
seb128so he adds it as a stage-package09:01
seb128or that package depends on libgtk09:01
seb128and snapcraft pulls in libgtk then09:01
didrocksah, with an additional package, sure09:01
didrocksyeah09:01
didrocksgood one, I was thinking about "framework usage only" (which we still need to do)09:02
seb128right09:02
didrocksgoing to be complex for this libgtksourceview deps + framework though09:02
didrocksnothing is telling you are were compiled against the same ABI09:02
didrockss/are//09:02
seb128yeah, we should probably just build gtksourceview from source09:03
seb128stage packages make things more complex09:03
seb128also the tarball idea works09:04
seb128but it's not integrated with our tools and infra09:05
didrocksbut yeah, mixing stage-packages which has potentiel deps on tarball should have a way to raise a warning09:05
didrockswell09:05
didrocksthere is no infra and it's known09:05
seb128sort of09:05
didrocksthe technical decision was made by people nacking the -dev snap09:06
seb128you can build from launchpad using a ppa and autoupload to the store09:06
seb128which we currently do09:06
didrocksyeah, from packages, not tarball09:07
seb128right09:07
didrocksbut we'll have to find a way to publish that tarball (manually or automatically)09:07
didrocksunsure how we can do that from a launchpad snap ppa or b.snapcraft.io09:07
didrocks(I think it's *not* possible)09:07
seb128same here :-/09:07
didrocksso, that removes the "autobuild/autoupload case"09:07
didrockssomething we should raise09:07
didrocksin that same thread09:08
didrocksuseful to discuss, we find new issues :)09:08

andyrockseb128 Laney what's the correct way to build a debian package with a recipe when the source code and the debian folder are in different branches?10:23
andyrocke.g. lp:~ubuntu-desktop/snapd-glib/ubuntu10:23
andyrocki've this https://code.launchpad.net/~azzar1/+recipe/snapd-glib-daily-210:23

Laneythe nest-part packaging thing looks helpful for you maybe10:25
flexiondotorgLaney can I request a favour.10:27
flexiondotorgI'd really like to land this - https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mate-dev/indicator-session/mate-integration/+merge/32560010:28
flexiondotorgFor Alpha 1 so I can line up some testing of the new indicator stuff in Ubuntu MATE.10:28
flexiondotorgI've got other package updates ready to upload, but they reference indicator-session in the panel layouts.10:29
Laneyflexiondotorg: ok10:33
LaneyTrevinho: there's no reason not to use g_auto* stuff in indicators is there?10:33
flexiondotorgLaney cheers.10:33
Laneythe issue is it makes the code compile on gcc/clang only10:34
seb128andyrock, I've never tried that, maybe have a look to what Laney pointed you out and let me know if you still doesn't manage to get it work, I might be able to have a look10:38

ahayzenHi everyone, I have a Dell XPS with an Ubuntu OEM install which has a recovery partition on the SSD, and was wondering if anyone knows what happens if one selects "install and erase" in the installer for Ubuntu 17.10 or Ubuntu GNOME 17.04. Will it retain the recovery partition or wipe it?12:28
jibelahayzen, install and erase wipes all the partitions. If you want to keep your data on some partitions, select custom partitioning12:37
ahayzenjibel, ok, but there isn't an automated way to keep the recovery partition but still do a clean install ?12:38
* ahayzen wonders if that is a usecase that shouldn't require doing custom partitioning12:38
jibelahayzen, I don't tihnk so, unless there is an OS installed on the partition in which case you can do a side by side installation12:39
ahayzenjibel, ok thanks for the info :-)12:39
jibelyw12:41
Trevinhoah, hey Laney (and seb who left), sorry I'm lost in too many conversations :-D14:05

jbicharicotz: do you have any pointers for how I should figure out the remaining vala rdep failures?15:52
jbicha…unless you wanted to work on them?15:53
ricotzjbicha, I have got some fixes upstream for e.g. font-manager, gnome-pie, gnome-pomodoro15:54
ricotzso better make sure those packages which failed in the past are actually still failing15:57
jbichaok, I guess was thinking more specifically about the Unity-related failures16:00
ricotzjbicha, if you have a recent failure and you have no clue what it is about then point me to it16:10
jbicharicotz: indicator-sound today: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/324229477/buildlog_ubuntu-artful-amd64.indicator-sound_12.10.2+17.10.20170605-0ubuntu1~ubuntu17.10.1_BUILDING.txt.gz16:11
jbichaI just don't enough about vala to try figuring these out without more study16:11
jbichaI just picked it from your list, it's not particularly urgent except that we'd like to figure these out before 17.10's release :)16:12

ochosijbicha: humm, i knw that question comes a bit out of the blue, but what's the plan with indicators or what is their future without unity?18:04
ochosii really like them and i guess we would like to keep them around in xubuntu18:04
jbichaochosi: I think you should look into what's needed to get sunweaver 's version to work in Xfce https://sunweavers.net/blog/node/5818:09
jbichaif his versions can support Unity, then there's no need to keep the old Canonical versions18:09
jbicha(but maybe he should just use the existing Ubuntu package names in that case too :) )18:09
ochosijbicha: right, i had never heard of that at all. i'll start reading18:33
jbichait's pretty much new except that as sun_weaver points out, he's been working on it behind the scenes for a long time18:43
ricotzjbicha, libgnome-games-support has a fixed upstream version18:46
jbichayes, I saw that, I'm just waiting for a DD to upload it to Debian18:52
jbicha(I asked mcatanzaro to do a new release last night)18:53
ricotzjbicha, regarding synapse, there are patches upstream to fix it18:53
ricotzah, I see18:53
jbichafont-manager is fixed now in artful18:57
jbicharicotz: you're synapse upstream?19:28
jbichaI think I'll just wait for you to make a new release then :)19:28
ochosijbicha: ok so from what i read there, it would be best to just replace the indicator stack in ubuntu with that of sunweaver/debian21:01
ochosiand i guess that xubuntu would just be compatible with it as long as there are no api breaks21:01
jbichaochosi: sure, but I don't think sunweaver runs Unity so someone needs to make sure that things work with Unity721:01
jbichaI think the namechange itself is a kind of api break21:03
