dufluDoesn't happen otherwise08:16
dufluLaney: OK 5 at night, 20 or less day08:16
willcookeLaney, queue looks good on desktop - but will wait for a few new mails before declaring it working08:17
dufluHeh. Why does a TV never look as good at home as it does in the store? Because the manufacturer's in-store demo videos use about 200MB per minute08:18

jbichadidrocks: you asked on trello about installing spice-vdagent by default, I already filed MIR bug 1200296 :)09:54

didrocksjbicha: rocks! :-)09:54
didrocksrox* even :p09:54
jbichado we want Desktop Bugs subscribed to it?09:54
didrocksI didn't follow the latest discussions on team subscription there was with cyphermox09:55
didrocksok, reintroduction of ubuntu-session as default GNOME shell-based session done, seb128: you will likely have to binNEW ubuntu-session09:57
didrocksseed updated09:57
didrocksjust need to refresh ubuntu-meta once everything is published09:57
didrocksis it known s390x being broken?09:58
jbichadidrocks: my question was more about whether Desktop or Server wanted to take responsibility for spice-vdagent09:59
didrocksjbicha: do you mind asking the server team? (I doubt they want, but worth asking IMHO)10:00
didrocksI guess by default, we would10:00
jbichaI mentioned it to them once and of course, they were not that interested ;)10:00
didrocks;)10:01
didrocksit gives more desktop-like feature than server AFAIK, so makes sense to be on us IMHO10:02
seb128didrocks, k, I keep an eye on the NEW queue10:03
jbichaslangasek was asking whether the Desktop Team should be listed as maintainer in d/control for libepc since we're listed as maintaining glom LP: #169823610:04
ubot5`Launchpad bug 1698236 in libepc (Ubuntu) "glom depends on libepc, removed from Debian" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/169823610:04
seb128why are we listed as maintainer of glom?10:05
seb128that's in universe10:05
seb128we should probably get our name off this one10:05
jbichathat's basically what Laney said :)10:05
didrocksxnox: any idea of the s390x FTBFS? like https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/3.24.2-0ubuntu7/+build/1278288410:05
Laneyyes it is10:06
didrocks(every packages fail the same way)10:06
Laneynot sure why a second opinion is needed10:06
xnoxdidrocks, given we do not have firefox on s390x, i would not expect gjs (or what is it called) to be available and I would not expect gnome shell to build or work.10:06
Laneyxnox: look at the log10:07
xnoxhm, that is really really really weird10:07
didrocksxnox: did you look at the bug? ;)10:07
didrocksxnox: not only G-S, lightdm, gnome-session… I guess everything fails on that perl missing10:07
jbichaok, I'll just upload both with the generic Ubuntu Developers maintainer10:07
didrockslibdpkg-perl is supposed to be in the sbuild chroot, isn't it?10:07
Laneyit gets removed at the top of the log10:08
jbichaglom is reasonably well-maintained for a universe pkg so it shouldn't really be a problem10:08
didrocksoh lovely10:08
seb128jbicha, +1, I commented on the bug in case murray had some opinion/info about libepc and glom10:08
xnoxwe are in a bad bad bad perl transition it seems.10:08
didrocksThe following packages will be REMOVED:10:08
didrocks  build-essential* dpkg-dev* libdpkg-perl* perl*10:08
didrocks-> sure sure, go ahead :)10:08
didrocksand cross fingers :p10:08
didrocksyeah10:08
didrocksgcc I think?10:08
seb128could be, I marked -changes as read this morning10:09
Laneythere was a perl upload too10:09
seb128there was a stack of haskell uploads spamming the list10:09
seb128I should put any email with haskell in the title -> /dev/null10:09
didrocksyeah10:10
didrocksoh correct, perl as well10:10
xnoxdidrocks, Laney, from what i can tell perl:s390x built before perl:amd64 built. With :s390x already published, but not :amd64.10:10

Laney(H)10:12
jbichaseb128: he just did a new libepc release this week :) but he said he might just roll libepc into glom directly10:13
seb128sounds like a good idea if nothing else is using it10:14
xnoxLaney, hm, a simplier solution is to make perl-modules-5.24 be architecture specific package, instead of an arch:all package.10:21

jdstrandjamesh: hey, fyi, just wanted to let you know that I saw the portals questions before. there are a few critical items I am working on before I can get to it13:25
cyphermoxwillcooke: jbicha: I'd like to express concerns about the MIR requests. for instance, spice-vdagent is cool and all, but at some point, is it really required on the livecd? and if not, then why does it need to be in main and supported by Canonical?13:34
cyphermoxyou obviously get to make the decision, but spice-vdagent doesn't scream to me like something that is a showcase of Ubuntu for a desktop that must be on a live image.13:35
LaneyWhy did someone retry clutter-1.0/s390x when it had failed earlier today already?13:40
LaneyI retried it this morning.13:40

flexiondotorgMy phone picked up a broadcast warning about severe weather tomorrow. Thunder storms.13:48
flexiondotorgI for one welcome the rain.13:49
seb128hey flexiondotorg kenvandine13:53
flexiondotorgHi seb12813:53
seb128cyphermox, hey, main is not only about the iso, it's also about the default install and system you get to use after install13:53
cyphermoxthat default install and system you get after the install is coming straight from the squashfs on the iso :)13:54
cyphermoxthe most important question is "should Canonical support it?"13:54
cyphermoxbut regardless, packages are installable from the archive, that's what I mean. does it need to be installed by default?13:54
cyphermoxI'm just expressing a question as to that particular instance, because it seems odd to me.13:55
cyphermoxI understand rhythmbox, gnome-software, etc.; seems like spice-vdagent is only useful in a fraction of cases, or when other software (that isn't installed by default) is present.\13:55
cyphermoxyou can still always install things from the archive, even if they aren't in main13:56
cyphermoxif you tell me "yes, we really do want that installed by default", then there is no problem at all, I'm just questioning to make sure the requests are acknowledged.13:59
=== Guest41026 is now known as fredp
=== fredp is now known as Guest70891
seb128cyphermox, right, I understand why you ask. I don't know about that specific package but Didier mentioned that it makes Ubuntu works better in some VMs setups, so it gives a better "out of the box" experience to people trying the distro this way I guess14:15
seb128also yeah you can always install things14:15
didrocksbasically without it, you have in a vm:14:15
seb128but it's nicer when things are great out of the box14:15
didrocks- no copy/paste14:15
didrocks- no screen scaling (so you are stuck in 800x600)14:15
cyphermoxthat's fair14:16
didrocks- mouse is grabbed by the vm14:16
Laneymaybe make virt-manager recommend it?14:16
Laneyor spiceclient or whatever it is14:16
cyphermoxLaney: no, it's an agent for the guest.14:16
didrocksI don't think it's a good first time user-experience14:16
seb128didrocks, depends of the vm I guess? I've those working in virtualbox14:16
Laneyoh, inside the VM, I see14:16
cyphermoxI understand it better now, thanks guys14:16
didrocksseb128: you install additional tools :)14:16
didrocksyw cyphermox ;)14:16
seb128cyphermox, yw!14:16
didrocksLaney: yes, client only14:16
seb128didrocks, anyway I agree with you in any case (on the usefulness, I did look at the code to see if it's buggy or not and how maintainable it is)14:17
didrocksI don't remember the vbox name, it's like "extra tools" or something you trigger in the menu14:17
seb128didn't*14:17
didrockssame14:17
didrocksI just put it as a trello card to remember someone needs to look at it MIR-wise14:17
didrocksjbicha just went ahead and filed the Mir :)14:17
didrocksknowing it's installed by default on fedora, I think it's interesting to look at it at least14:18
* cyphermox wonders if it shouldn't be installed as a driver based on some heuristic rather than everywhere by default14:19
didrockscyphermox: vms without network? (I'm thinking about the live session experience)14:20
Laneyyou can have things in the pool on the CD14:20
didrocksyeah, true14:20
cyphermoxdidrocks: well, I guess I mean in live rather than install14:20
Laneyor live then removed14:20
cyphermox^that14:20
didrocksI wouldn't remove it after your vm install, but yeah, more smartness on ubiquity could hep14:20
* cyphermox has been looking into just that for ubiquity not being removed right now14:20
didrockshelp*14:21
didrockslike "live + if not running in vm, remove"14:21
cyphermoxit basically works like; if it's in live and not manually installed too, then it gets removed14:21
didrockscyphermox: oh, you are looking into ubiquity not being removed? Nice! (noticed and filed a bug about it)14:21
cyphermoxyeah, I saw your bug14:21
didrocks;)14:21
cyphermoxworking on reproducing the livefs build here to investigate14:21
didrocksLaney: some autopkgtests question for you: so update-notifier tests triggered by G-S are failing due to new pep8. I fixed update-notifier and thought "let's click on the refresh/retry button"14:22
didrocksbut it seems it's running still against the older update-notifier version if I'm correct (I guess the one in the release pocket): https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/update-notifier/artful/s390x14:22
didrockswe need to wait for it to migrate, correct?14:23
didrocksno way to speed it up by retrying against the one in -proposed?14:23
Laneypep8 autopkgtests are really hateful14:24
didrocks+114:24
Laneyyes you can add extra &trigger=pkg/version to pick things up from proposed14:24
didrocksthat will override and be picked by proposed-migration then?14:24
Laneybut then nothing enforces those things go in together so I prefer that you don't do that in general14:24
Laneyyes14:25
didrockshum14:25
didrocksnow that I fixed the pep8 tests, can we hint it?14:25
didrocksnote that there is no hurry14:25
didrocksif I refresh the ubuntu-meta package tomorrow only, that's fine14:25
didrocks(and +1, I don't see any rationale of linter tools to be autopkgtests, they should just be unit tests at package build-time)14:26
Laneydo the retry with extra trigger, shouldn't be too long until it gets done14:28
Laneyyou can refresh seeds from proposed if you hack the update.cfg btw14:29
didrocksLaney: yeah, not really legit, but why not :)14:29
Laneyafter dist: artful add dists: artful artful-proposed14:29
LaneyIIRC14:29
didrocksI did something like that for ppas14:30
Laneythen delete it before uploading and nobody will ever know :-)14:30
seb128k, time for some exercice, hope it's not too warm with the bit of wind outside14:30
didrocksseb128: good luck!14:30
didrocksand yes, that should work, because ubuntu-meta will be blocked in proposed as it should remove gnome-session14:30
didrocksso until lightdm and g-s migrates to drop that need for gnome-session, all 3 will be copied in sync14:31
didrocksso, should be fine :)14:31

andyrockBefore I keep working on this, do you agree (more or less ;) ) on the design?15:40
andyrockor this is completely broken?15:40
mptandyrock, that’s … interesting. I’m not sure what it’s showing. What would happen if I unchecked one of the checkboxes?15:41
andyrockyou can't uncheck the checkboxes15:42
mptEver?15:42
andyrockit's showing the patches applied by canonical-livepatch15:42
mptandyrock, could I check the one that’s unchecked?15:42
andyrockneither15:43
andyrockit can happen that a patch should be applied but for some reason it's not15:43
andyrockhttp://blog.dustinkirkland.com/2016/10/canonical-livepatch.html15:44
andyrockhttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/hTfuwD8l/15:44
mptandyrock, ok, so if you can’t check them, and you can’t uncheck them, they probably shouldn’t be checkboxes :-)15:45
andyrockso what instead of checkboxes?15:45
andyrock:D15:45
mptWell, *if* this list was appropriate, we should probably show installed status using some kind of checkmark graphic that was clearly different from a checkbox (like Dropbox does for sync status, for example)15:52
andyrockmakes sense15:55
andyrockwhat else?15:55
andyrockand thanks!15:55
mptandyrock, how far back does the list go? Is it patches applied in the past day? The past week? The past month? Since the last time update-manager opened?15:56
andyrockI'll just show what caonical-livepatch status gives me15:57
andyrockso basically once you restart (likely with the new kernel)15:57
andyrockthe list will be empty15:57
andyrockif you don't restart the list will get bigger15:57
mptunderstood15:57
mptOk, I’ll think about this overnight … Possibly we could integrate that list into the usual list of updates15:58
gQuigsandyrock: would that bigger list be hidden by default, behind something like Livepatch: Protected15:59
gQuigs> click for details15:59
mptAnd the string “LivePatch status” could be something more informative, like “Livepatch has installed 4 updates since you last restarted”15:59
