twoj__Anybody have a good idea how to reset a 'frozen' session?  I'm running TeamViewer to one account/desktop and that session is frozen, where I get X for cursor01:01
twoj__However in second session I can log in via RSH and get console01:02
twoj__No process is really pegging the CPU or memory?01:02
twoj__Hello....   anybody free?01:06
oSoMoNgood morning desktoppers!05:48
dufluHello oSoMoN05:52
dufluHmm, curious how many Gnome Tweaks don't actually work...05:52
oSoMoNhey duflu, good afternoon!05:53

dufluhi seb12807:03
seb128duflu, how are you? having a good friday? ready for the w.e?07:04
dufluseb128: More VAAPI debugging. Not fun. And I'm not sure about being ready for the weekend :) How are you?07:06
seb128I had a good 7 hours sleep, feeling good07:07
seb128let's see what friday brings now07:07
oSoMoNsalut didrocks, seb12807:26
didrocksjoyeux vendredi oSoMoN07:27
oSoMoN:)07:27
oSoMoNseb128, I’m reconsidering the move to a classic snap for LO, thinking it’s not such a good idea after all. Built a strict snap with the desktop-gtk3 launcher, and that fixes most of the known issues \o/07:32
oSoMoNonly bug #1665106 requires a patch, but it’s trivial, and I’ll see if I can upstream it, given how similar it is to https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/commit/28a03248b1d1649e157b788e43dfe8326f16537907:32

seb128lut didrocks, bon vendredi !07:33
seb128oSoMoN, oh, nice07:33
seb128oSoMoN, oh, right, we also have a fake xdg-open calling a dbus method, only it's under /usr/local/bin/xdg-open for us07:34
didrocksoSoMoN: I'm opening a donation page for the launcher ;)07:35
seb128lol07:35
oSoMoNseb128, yep, so the patch looks like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/24987313/07:36
seb128oSoMoN, looks good, the other alternative would be to tell them to call "xdg-open" rather than "/usr/bin/xdg-open"07:36
oSoMoNdidrocks, will the donations pay for all those extra hours you put into it? ;)07:36
seb128so local versions take over07:37
seb128including the snap one07:37
didrocksoSoMoN: hem, "funds repartitions need to be decided and voted on" :p07:37
oSoMoNseb128, yes that’s another option, I’ll see what upstream prefers07:38
didrockshum07:38
didrocks/usr/local/bin was in $PATH07:38
didrocksthen removed by upstream07:38
didrocksbut ogra told he would reinclude it IIRC07:38
didrocks(some months ago)07:38
seb128that's a snap issue to be resolved yeah07:39
seb128I was talking about the libreoffice side07:39
didrocksthat was in the snap-confine related change IIRC (the move to snap run)07:39
andyrockgood morning07:40
oSoMoNbuon giorno andyrock07:41
seb128hey andyrock, happy friday!07:41
didrockshey andyrock07:42
oSoMoNtjaalton, when do you think llvm-toolchain-4.0 will migrate to xenial-updates? I’ve tested a build of chromium-browser (dev branch) with clang-4.0 from -proposed, and that works well07:43
tjaaltonoSoMoN: along with the rest of the 16.04.3 hwe stack07:44
tjaaltonnext month07:44
tjaaltonbest guess07:44
oSoMoNgood, looking forward to it07:44
ogra_didrocks, it should be in the launchers afaik ...07:46
ogra_also ... we moved xdg-open inside core to a sane path07:46
didrocksogra_: changing PATH to a system one?07:46
didrocksI don't understand why the PATH was removed without warning btw07:46
ogra_yeah07:46
didrocksit's a behavior change07:46
didrocksand core 16 was already released07:46
didrocks(the fact that it was independent of snapd was requested by the snap team btw when designed)07:47
oSoMoNogra_, what do you mean by a sane path? it's currently /usr/local/bin/xdg-open, right? is this going to change?07:47
ogra_https://github.com/snapcore/core/pull/35/files07:47
ogra_nothing changed PATH though ... the in-core xdg-open was just moved around so the PATH hack wouldnt be needed anymore07:48
oSoMoNoh! that means I can drop my LO snap patch then, that’s good \o/07:48
ogra_yeah :)07:48
oSoMoNogra_, when is that landing in a snap store near me?07:49
ogra_now ... thats a merge to master though07:49
ogra_not sure if thats already in a relese07:49
ogra_i would guess with the next stable core snap ... mvo should know when that happens07:49
oSoMoNgood, I’ll ask mvo07:49
oSoMoNhrm, he doesn't appear to be around07:50
ogra_he sits next to me ... one sec07:51
oSoMoNheh, even better :)07:51
ogra_he says next week07:51
oSoMoNexcellent, say hi for me btw07:51

flexiondotorgtintou Hi08:49
flexiondotorgdidrocks Morning08:49
flexiondotorgdidrocks Have you seen any reports about desktop-gtk3 snaps not using localisation?08:50
didrocksgood morning flexiondotorg08:50
didrocksflexiondotorg: I didn't, but if it's related to gettext, we know the issue and nothing that desktop-gtk3 can fix08:50
flexiondotorgOK. related to gettext how? Bug?08:51
flexiondotorgAnything an application author can work around?08:51
didrocksgettext doesn't let you using relocatable path08:51
didrocksit's based on --prefix08:51
flexiondotorgOooh08:51
didrocksso, you can --prefix=/snap/<snap_name>/current08:51
didrockswe raised that multiple times on the ML08:51
flexiondotorgRight, I remember now.08:52
didrocksapparently, this path is supposed to be stay stable ^08:52
flexiondotorgI've used that myself.08:52
didrocksstay*08:52
flexiondotorgI'm sat with the elementary guys.08:52
flexiondotorgThey've bumped into this.08:52
didrocksI hope it's cross-distro, we were told that shouldn't change08:52
didrocksand don't have any other way to make it work08:52
flexiondotorgdidrocks Well, seem to be consistent on GNOME, Unity, MATE and Pantheon so far. I'll check with the KDE guys.08:56
robert_ancellLaney, great blog post!09:21
robert_ancellSorry for ignoring everyone in here this week, been crazy busy here09:21
seb128robert_ancell, hey09:23
seb128good decisions?09:24
seb128what are the news on the desktop side09:24
robert_ancellseb128, we have a title field from snapd, so snaps should start looking nicer09:30
robert_ancellWe have a plan for the license field to pass through, though we need to wait for support from the store09:30
robert_ancellWe've fixed a bunch of small issues that block us from having Snap support in Fedora. These are mostly solved so just tidying up loose ends.09:31
robert_ancellKDE Discover is now using snapd-qt, and the MATE Software Botique is using snapd-glib GIR bindings. These shook out some bugs in snapd-glib.09:31
seb128nice09:32
robert_ancellWe are all in agreement that snapd / store should return translated fields, though no ETA for it09:32
robert_ancellWe have a plan to get basic AppStream information through the store and snapd so G-S etc can show things better.09:32
robert_ancellWe'll make a snapcraft plugin to pull out that data and populate the Snap YAML - so it should be easier to snap existing projects09:33
Laneyhey robert_ancell09:33
Laneythanks!09:33
Laneya summary mail next week would be nice ;-)09:34
robert_ancellWe have a plan to make an snap interfaces tool that will be shipped as a Snap (i.e. available for all systems) and will be linked to from G-S and/or G-C-C. It's a highly questionable UI so there will be ongoing discussions I'm sure...09:34
robert_ancellLaney, yep, will do09:34
robert_ancellWe have a plan to install/remove snaps on a GUI without a store login, which is awaiting confirmation by the Snappy designer09:35
jameshwillcooke: do you know if xdg-desktop-portal issues have been discussed at the sprint? (allowing per-user bind mounts)09:40
willcookejamesh, not yet I'm afraid.09:41
willcookeI'll try and grab m_vo later on and see if he's got any thoughts09:41
jameshwillcooke: the main things I'd want are an agreement that snapd should switch to per-user per-snap mount namespaces, and a basic sketch of how they should be managed.09:42
jameshwillcooke: with that, it we might be able to help with the implementation09:43
willcookejamesh, ack, thanls09:43
jbicharobert_ancell: gnome-software/zesty was just pushed to updates and got stuck in phased-updates again: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/f4d12cec512c23a979e3ccd1f0dc94fd8b40600710:52
robert_ancelljbicha, yeah, I saw :(10:53
jbichaanyway, for next week :|10:53
robert_ancelloh weird. An icon issue.10:54
robert_ancellI wonder if that's always existed10:54
robert_ancellPerhaps there's an out of memory issue and I'm not checking for the buffer being NULL10:55
jbichaI had someone from Azerbaijan tell me the polkit message was not Azerbaijani, it was Turkish10:56
LaneyI think the problem we saw before is that it was picking the last message from the file10:58
Laneythat was in Fedora - in Ubuntu we had some patch somewhere (awesome level of recall) that made the translations work10:59
robert_ancellLaney, I've been looking through the Polkit docs and existing programs and still scratching my head how the locale is supposed to work there11:10
robert_ancellIt either "just works" for other prompts or they aren't currently translated11:10

Laneybah13:15
Laneythis gst <-> packagekit stuff is annoying13:15
Laneygstreamer1.0-packagekit feeds different fields into the backend compared to sessioninstaller13:15
* Laney cries at ximion 13:16
ximionLaney: is that a problem? as long as packagekitd does the right thing, it shouldn't be an issue...13:16
Laneyit ends up in that regex of doom13:17
ximionor is the gstreamer plugin itself also broken?13:17
ximionyeah, urgh...13:17
Laneywhich isn't that tolerant13:17
Laneyalthough in this case it's actually nicer13:17
Laneybecause gst-packagekit gives you "64bit" so we are able to use that to filter out some results13:17
ximionI wonder whether using libappstream + the new components in there would make some sense13:20
ximion(bypassing PKs own detection)13:20
ximionalternatively, making the regex more tolerant or using string operations instead might make sense13:20
Laneywe need to specify AS so that type=codec is good enough to do this13:22
Laneyhave a look at apt show gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad - those caps are the things it searches on13:23
jbichaoSoMoN: could you ask someone that can update the LP builders about that then?13:24
jbichaoh, that's the stack clash regression13:25
jbichamaybe next week then13:25
ricotzoSoMoN, of course 4.4.0-81 like all builders ;)13:30
ricotzoSoMoN, maybe there is even another factor like glibc, but I guess the kernel is still the culprit after all13:30
jbicharicotz: yes, there's a known regression affecting java13:31
ricotzjbicha, I know, surprisingly a build on trusty/i386 succeeded13:32
flexiondotorgseb128 didrocks Can you point me at the yaml for the current GNOME platform snap?15:55

seb128kenvandine, not that I know, flexiondotorg was asking for an example for snap using the platform17:16
kenvandineseb128, ok17:16
seb128Didier was pointing something, maybe ask him on monday if you don't understand what he meant17:17
seb128I'm not sure what was the issue17:17
kenvandineit was working fine17:17
kenvandineyeah, saw that but didn't understand17:17
seb128I think he just pointed out that your env hack was unrequired/probably not doing anythin17:17
kenvandineit was needed :)17:17
seb128like the desktop helper set that17:17
seb128or should set17:17
seb128or override your def17:17
seb128well then the launcher should be fixe17:17
seb128d17:17
kenvandinedesktop helper probably would be better17:17
seb128yes17:17
seb128that's probably what he meant17:18
seb128that's supposed to work without the hack17:18
seb128so if that's needed there is a bug in the helper we should look at17:18
