Laneyhey seb128 hey oSoMoN08:06
LaneyI'm good!08:06
Laneywe went to the seaside for the weekend, was nice08:06
Laneyalthough I wasn't brave enough to go in :(08:06
andyrockhey Laney!08:11
andyrockso water was not good as in The Hague? :D08:12
Laneyhey andyrock, you good?08:14
Laneyhmm08:14
Laneythat was suspiciously warm08:14
seb128lol08:14
andyrockgood good08:14
seb128come on Laney, you know  it can get warm in summer here08:14
seb128remember the systemd hackdays08:14
seb128:-)08:15
Laneyit can08:15
jibelLaney, come to La Hague in France it's always warmer08:15
Laneythat sprint was in october though!08:15

Laneyooh yeah, bet that's like a hot tub08:15
tjaaltonduflu: I see that you're working on enabling video acceleration? the wiki says intel is different than radeon, but it's not.. just install mesa-va-drivers08:32
seb128andyrock, did you mean to archive the snap-glib card on trust card? is that not something we want to do anymore?08:32
andyrockhey robert_ancell already had such a card08:32
andyrockand he already made huge progresses08:33
andyrockhttps://trello.com/c/q1Zb63U7/157-bug1698984-sru-snapd-glib-to-trusty08:34
andyrockI'll try to build a ppa out of it08:34
duflutjaalton, I have not tested radeon. I'm focusing on what actually works (where "works" means over an order of magnitude improvement from software). Radeon testing isn't really a priority though, given most of the world only cares about Intel graphics on laptops...08:38
dufluAnd I've been burned several times by "accelerated" video playback that actually uses higher CPU than software08:40
tjaaltonwell, we enable several configs with radeon gfx..08:41
tjaaltonqsv needs opencl, does beignet work?08:44
duflutjaalton: Also be careful to not use the term QSV per the wiki ;) I don't know what beignet is08:45
tjaaltonopencl for intel08:45
dufluI assume it works, but have no interest in it08:45
seb128andyrock, oh ok, for next time it's a good idea to add a comment saying when you archive the card so it's more obvious to others08:46
tjaaltonduflu: ok, well the wiki is misleading then08:46
andyrockkk08:46
oSoMoNduflu, great work on summarizing the current situation and next steps on that wiki page, it makes it easy to understand such a complex thing08:47
duflutjaalton: No, using the term QSV is misleading. QSV is a hardware feature that is accessible via at least two different APIs. So saying QSV only refers to the silicon. And worse, it historically only refers to encoding, not decoding08:47
tjaaltonduflu: ah right08:48
tjaaltonanyway, from what I've heard (not proven on my radeon though iirc) is that mesa-va-drivers makes va-api work with radeons, and that it's generally fine. something to keep in mind once adding things to the default install08:49
duflutjaalton: Yeah I have high hopes for mesa-va-drivers doing radeon and nvidia well. But Intel's way more important on average08:51
tjaaltonthe browser situation is rather sad, though08:52
dufluIt's solveable. Just messy08:52
dufluI don't want to give anyone the impression that part is solveable in one cycle though08:52
dufluAlso I need to work on other things or else go insane08:53
tjaaltonhehe08:53
dufluoSoMoN, Thanks, I did not intend for this to be a documentation exercise. It just turned out that way as I realized nobody's really looked at the big picutre yet08:54
dufluor the big picture08:54
seb128hum08:55
seb128DEFINES+=TRANSLATIONS_DIR=\\\\\\\"/usr/share/qt5/translations\\\\\\\"08:55
seb128why that number of "\"?08:55
seb128that's from https://launchpadlibrarian.net/325137761/transmission_translation-fix.debdiff08:56
oSoMoNseb128, have you had a chance to test my LO 5.3.3 snap?09:13
seb128oSoMoN, sorry no, it's on my list for today though09:13
oSoMoNcool09:13
Laneyseb128: that's funny09:14
Laneyit'll need to be -DTRANSLATIONS_DIR=\"...\" in the compiler call09:14
Laneysome parts of the build system must interpret the string09:17
seb128k, I've no clue if it's right but the upstream commit looks similar09:17
seb128so I assume it is09:17
LaneyI would expect the build log to show the gcc/g++ calls and if they look like -DFOO=\"bar\" then it's right09:18
seb128Laney, I guess it makes sense to add least check the result, thanks09:19
Laneythere's a funny one in livecd-rootfs09:19
dufluIf I was to reinstall artful with the "final" gdm and lightdm removed, is that in the current iso, or not yet?09:20
Laneyhttps://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/livecd-rootfs/trunk/view/head:/live-build/auto/config#L6609:20
Laneyactually that's the same!09:20
Laneyduflu: not yet09:20
dufluOK. Can't tell if I've created session bugs or if a fresh install would also have them09:21
dufluThe problem is I can't switch between Gnome on Wayland/Xorg without rebooting09:21
dufluThe second login fails. Have to reboot09:21
seb128Laney, fun :-)09:23
seb128IRC is quiet today!11:07
Laneysuspicious11:07
seb128is everybody busy or just still hangover from the w.e? ;-)11:07
seb128mpt, hey, why did you reopen https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-datetime/+bug/1685934 ?11:09

seb128oh, because there was a reply I guess11:09
mptyep11:10
seb128it's on the wrong component according to the comment though11:10
andyrockhey seb128, I need a REST api to get info about CVEs (like priority, description, etc.) to show in update-manager11:55
andyrockatm there is no such thing (at least under ubuntu.com/canonical.com) domains11:56
andyrockbut I could easily deplot our own service using https://github.com/cve-search/cve-search11:56
andyrock*deploy11:57
andyrockso we could integrate this in http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/11:58
andyrockotherwise there are already public services e.g. https://cve.circl.lu/11:59
andyrockbut not sure if we can rely on them in the long term12:00
seb128andyrock, sorry, just saw on irclog that you talked to me after I closed IRC, was moving between places12:24
andyrocknp12:24
seb128andyrock, you should probably talk to the security team about that12:25
andyrock#ubuntu-security?12:25
seb128yes12:25
andyrocki need to be invited, do you know anyone that I can talk with here?12:26
seb128andyrock, I don't know, I can join but it might be restricted the registered users or ubuntu group or something12:28
andyrockyeah I guess it's restricted for a reason :)12:28
jbichaandyrock: #ubuntu-hardened is the public room12:30
jbichagood morning12:30
seb128jbicha, joining #ubuntu-security forwarded me to -hardened automatically12:31
seb128so if that's not doing it there is a reason?12:31
jbichaseb128: ask in -hardened ? ;)12:33
seb128I'm not interested enough to chase that for others :p12:33
mdeslaurfor some strange reason, when you're already in #ubuntu-hardened and try to join #ubuntu-security, you get a message that you need to be invited12:40
mdeslaurit's a side effect of how the redirect works12:40
seb128ha :p12:41
seb128indeed andyrock, you are already there12:42
seb128mdeslaur, thanks, oh and happy monday!12:42
mdeslaurseb128: heh, happy monday to you too :)12:43
jbichaoSoMoN: we're having trouble compiling LO on artful i386 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:5.3.3-0ubuntu2/+build/1277830512:48
oSoMoNlooking12:54
jbichaI think that's the final piece for the hunspell transition now13:01
oSoMoNchrisccoulson, hey, are you looking at the chromium update in https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage/+packages ?13:18
oSoMoNjbicha, that failure looks like it could possibly be related to bug #1699529, i.e. flaky tests (especially https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1699529/comments/3)13:27
ubot5`Ubuntu bug 1699529 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "i386 autopkgtests are unstable" [High,Confirmed]13:27
oSoMoNcan you retry the build?13:28
oSoMoNI need to investigate those failures further, but until I manage to reproduce locally I can only do guesswork13:28
chrisccoulsonoSoMoN, I am, but I need to do something else first13:39
seb128chrisccoulson, getting ride of ubufox right? ;-)13:39
jbichaoSoMoN: yes, I'll go ahead and retry again (I did retry a few times already)13:42
willcookejibel, what was that power tool called that we discovered the other day?14:20
immuare we affected by the Debian hyper-threading bug14:35

Laneythx15:58
robert_ancellLaney, there probably should be a convert_error() function so it's done consistenly15:58
robert_ancellI noticed that G-S started complaining at some point about non-GS errors being returned by the snap plugin15:59

GunnarHjHi jbicha! Did you see https://code.launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.artful_lang-support/+merge/326261 ?16:27
seb128oSoMoN, do you have a list of known issues with the libreoffice snap? I installed it and I'm playing a bit with it but I'm unsure what to test or conclude from the testing16:29
GunnarHjHi seb128! Any thoughts about bug #1696418?16:34
ubot5`bug 1696418 in language-pack-gnome-es-base (Ubuntu) "gnome-help/shell-introduction.page link to removed files" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/169641816:34
seb128GunnarHj, hey, no16:35
seb128or "trusty is old"16:36
seb128:-)16:36
GunnarHjseb128: In short I'd like to propose a rebuild without translation stripping to fix it.16:37
seb128I've it in my inbox for a while but I can't be bother trying to debug trusty issues16:37
seb128that's not a fix16:37
seb128that's a workaround16:37
seb128I would prefer for somebody to try to understand the issue16:37
GunnarHjseb128: But will that ever happen, considering that trusty is old? ;)16:38
Trevinhoseb128: hey... :)16:38
seb128Trevinho, good morning!16:38
jbichaGunnarHj: yes I saw but I didn't look through it yet, it looks complex :)16:38
Trevinhoseb128: I've splitted the branches16:38
Trevinhoseb128: ahah, well... I'm not such a night owl yet :D16:38
seb128:-)16:39
seb128Trevinho, nice16:39
seb128GunnarHj, well, you seem to have interest in trusty since you are asking about it and wanting to work on a workaround...:p16:39
GunnarHjjbicha: Many small changes, but not really complex. The overall goal is to achieve consistency as regards pulling of lang support. I could be standby to clarify the details, if that may help.16:42
=== ratliff_ is now known as ratliff
GunnarHjseb128: As regards interest... I saw the bug report. But as jbicha pointed out at the report, there will be no more point releases for trusty, so we don't need to worry about ISO size, do we?16:45
seb128GunnarHj, I don't know, trusty got extended support, unsure if somebody plans to roll iso updates17:04
GunnarHjseb128: I see. Ok, the alternative is to figure out what happened and why and make a full langpack update (without a requirement to verify). I tend to think it's a "won't fix" bug.17:17
seb128I think so too17:20
seb128but the few mbs are probably no issue for the iso in any case if there is a need for a respin17:21
seb128so feel free to do upload an unstripped documentation17:21
GunnarHjseb128: Ok, great. Why didn't you say so immediately? ;)17:21
seb128GunnarHj, because I don't like much the idea to workaround an issue we didn't understand17:22
seb128that might bite you back17:22
seb128at the same time I'm not waiting to debug trusty issues17:22
GunnarHjseb128: Fair enough.17:22
oSoMoNseb128, those are all the reported LO snap issues: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bugs?field.tag=snap , and all those that are marked "in progress" should be fixed by my updated snap17:56
oSoMoN(sorry for the delayed answer, was out running errands)17:57
oSoMoNjbicha, I see that the i386 build of LO 5.3.3-0ubuntu2 in -proposed failed again, the failure looks pretty consistent18:38
oSoMoNI've just uploaded a 5.3.4 test build in https://launchpad.net/~osomon/+archive/ubuntu/lo-test/+packages , let's see if that one fares better18:38
jbichaoSoMoN: or you could get crazy and upload 5.4 RC1?18:44
oSoMoNthat too :)18:44
jbichado you intend to SRU a newer 5.3 to zesty? or just snap it?18:44
oSoMoNit's on my list for this week (5.4 RC1)18:44
jbichaI don't think Sweetshark really did SRUs except for the final LO point release for the LTS18:45
oSoMoNwe'll try to go the snap route as much as possible to avoid SRUs where possible18:45
jbichais there a reason we distrust later LO point releases?18:46
jbichaor is just not enough time to do everything? ;)18:46
oSoMoNthe latter I think18:48
jbichaok18:48
oSoMoNand I'm still working my way through LO packaging, I’ll get faster at it eventually, but I'm still ramping up18:48
jbichano problem, LO's not your only job either18:50
