| jamesh | robert_ancell: do you think there is much chance of convincing niemeyer to consider polkit? | 02:44 |
|---|---|---|
| robert_ancell | jamesh, I gave up | 02:44 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, I think the current solution is workable. Unfortunately Polkit doesn't fit well into the snap architecture - it's very much designed from the ground up. | 02:45 |
| robert_ancell | When I patched it the first time there weren't good D-Bus libraries available | 02:45 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: in the desktop sprint thread on the forum, I suggested adding this as something the client would have to opt in to | 02:46 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, the snapd client? | 02:46 |
| jamesh | so it wouldn't conflict with any existing use cases | 02:46 |
| robert_ancell | or snapd itself? | 02:47 |
| jamesh | yeah. so the client would send something like "Authorization: polkit" in the request headers | 02:47 |
| robert_ancell | oh, I see | 02:47 |
| jamesh | and snapd would only make the polkit CheckAuthorization request in that case. | 02:47 |
| jamesh | otherwise, the existing logic would run its course. | 02:47 |
| jamesh | something like this could also be used to determine whether to do interactive polkit auth or not | 02:48 |
| jamesh | "Authorization: polkit; interactive=1" maybe | 02:48 |
| robert_ancell | I remember thinking at the time it was first proposed that there would be some ambiguity in snapd if Polkit was available or not. But now I think about it if snap detects that Polkit is there (i.e. checks D-Bus) then it should use it (or any other mechanism) to after it checks for roto | 02:48 |
| robert_ancell | root | 02:48 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, I think that will get shot down because you need both the Macaroon (store credentials) and Polkit. | 02:49 |
| robert_ancell | I don't agree with the use of the Macaroon for both store credentials and local access, but niemeyer seems to like that idea | 02:50 |
| jamesh | I think it is crazy that we're relying on access tokens that can be passed between security principals without snapd even noticing | 02:50 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, yes | 02:53 |
| jamesh | and that the command line tool is effectively storing root access credentials in the user's home directory | 02:54 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, I think it's worth you continuing to raise these issues. You might have better terminology to describe them | 02:54 |
| robert_ancell | It's perhaps best to focus on that particular issue and leave the minor issues for now. | 02:54 |
| robert_ancell | The solution there might be to tie the Macaroon to a user account, but I don't know enough to say if that's sufficient | 02:55 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: thinking about it some more, if we ever upgrade to a current version of polkit, it wouldn't be too difficult to write a policy that grants access without a password if the user presents a valid store macaroon | 05:11 |
| jamesh | since the policies are arbitrary JavaScript functions | 05:12 |

| duflu | TheMuso, hello. May I join ~ubuntu-audio-dev ? | 07:03 |
| jibel | morning | 07:03 |
| duflu | Morning oSoMoN, didrocks, jibel | 07:04 |
| didrocks | hey duflu, morning jibel | 07:05 |
| didrocks | jibel: any thoughts on checkbox-converged? is it even used nowdays? (by you or certification team?) | 07:06 |
| didrocks | it's bringing up the whole Qt/QML stack on the iso for it | 07:06 |
| duflu | and morning seb128 | 07:06 |
| duflu | and other random Europeans | 07:07 |
| seb128 | good morning desktopers | 07:07 |
| seb128 | hey duflu | 07:07 |
| jibel | didrocks, no idea if it's still used for anything. I'll ask jerry or chris | 07:11 |
| didrocks | jibel: thanks! Keep me posted :) | 07:13 |
| duflu | jibel, unless you want to upset him; "Gerry" :) | 07:29 |
| pitti | mvo: good morning! thanks for insisting on https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/pull/7131, updated now; mind having another look? | 07:34 |
| pitti | err | 07:35 |
| pitti | mvo: sorry, I meant our mvo (we have one too!) | 07:35 |
| pitti | mvo: so... Good morning! wie gehts? :-) | 07:35 |
| didrocks | sounds like he has more characters in his nickname, has he got promoted? :) | 07:36 |
| * pitti dit bonjour aux amis français | 07:36 | |
| * didrocks dit bonjour également à pitti | 07:36 | |
| pitti | didrocks: no, Michael Vogt and Marius Vollmer are both "mvo"; I thought I was in the cockpit channel | 07:37 |
| didrocks | pitti: oh, someone using a different nickname between IRC and github? (his nickname there is mvollmer apparently), scandalous! :) | 07:38 |
| pitti | didrocks: heh yes, he's mvollmer on freenode, but mvo on internal IRC | 07:39 |
| didrocks | sounds like a trap just targeted at you! :) | 07:40 |
| andyrock | good morning | 07:41 |
| didrocks | hey andyrock | 07:41 |
| duflu | koza, Debian has caught up as of 2 days ago, and is apparently using their preferred DEP-14 layout. Maybe we should switch to that... https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-bluetooth/bluez.git/ | 07:43 |
| didrocks | +1 | 07:44 |
| seb128 | hey andyrock | 07:45 |
| seb128 | salut pitti, comment ça va ? | 07:45 |
| pitti | seb128: ça va bien, merci ! la dernière semaine à Karlsruhe avec mon équipe était grande | 07:46 |
| jibel | duflu, I don't understand, why would I upset him? | 07:46 |
| seb128 | pitti, ah c'est bien pour toi alors ! | 07:47 |
| jibel | bonjour pitti | 07:47 |
| pitti | seb128: we got a lot of stuff done, and finished the week with an electrical go-kart race | 07:47 |
| duflu | jibel, it's Gerry as in Gerrard :) | 07:47 |
| pitti | bonjour jibel, ça va ? | 07:47 |
| duflu | I think mainly Americans assume "Jerry" | 07:47 |
| jibel | duflu, no it's Jerry from CE. We are not talking about the same person | 07:48 |
| duflu | jibel, Oh... OK. You mentioned Qt :) | 07:48 |
| jibel | yeah np :) | 07:48 |
| seb128 | didrocks, do you think we should go through seed changes and refresh the packages once, or just tweak&rebuild? | 07:48 |
| jibel | pitti, ça va bien, happy to work on desktop again :) | 07:49 |
| seb128 | didrocks, also I was checking with will for a11y-profile-manager yesterday, you think as well that it's fine to nuke it? (you removed unity-accessibility-profiles but there is a gnome variant which we could swap for if we wanted to keep it) | 07:49 |
| didrocks | seb128: I was thinking something a little bit more incremental, in case we notice huge regression on an ISO (we have time until FF), wdyt? | 07:50 |
| seb128 | didrocks, wfm, I had changes I wanted to do and that would have done if I knew you were going to do an upload | 07:51 |
| pitti | jibel: nice! so you're becoming a gnome guy at last? :) | 07:51 |
| seb128 | anyway no big deal, I should probably just have stacked in the vcs | 07:51 |
| seb128 | didrocks, let me know before your do another upload, just in case I want to sneak those in ;-) | 07:51 |
| didrocks | seb128: sorry, yeah, I bzr update first to see if anyone stacked anything, but I would really be in favor of small increments in case something goes wrong | 07:51 |
| didrocks | sure :) | 07:51 |
| didrocks | seb128: next one is checkbox-converged for the Qt5 stack IMHO | 07:51 |
| seb128 | didrocks, and for a11y-profile-manager you think it's useless? | 07:52 |
| didrocks | once we know from jibel is good for removal | 07:52 |
| seb128 | I don't know enough about it to be sure | 07:52 |
| seb128 | it's not unity specific | 07:52 |
| seb128 | and there is a gnome profile/binary | 07:52 |
| seb128 | but we don't have a maintainer for it and I'm not sure what it brings | 07:52 |
| didrocks | I did remove the binary packages, one was an indicator, the other for unity. and yeah, for the remaining profile, without maintainer… I would think it's better to take what upstream brings us on that front and retweak | 07:53 |
| seb128 | k, let's call it a decision, makes things easier, I was investigating on that yesterday | 07:53 |
| seb128 | if somebody ask I tell them you tool the decision :p | 07:53 |
| didrocks | heh, sure :) | 07:53 |
| didrocks | just went the pragmatic approach | 07:54 |
| didrocks | I didn't remove the rest as I was less sure | 07:54 |
| seb128 | right, we can iterate | 07:54 |
| seb128 | we are not going to see the status until gdm is in anyway | 07:54 |
| didrocks | eactly | 07:54 |
| seb128 | or rather unity-greeter out | 07:54 |
| didrocks | exactly* | 07:54 |
| didrocks | yeah, quite equivalent :) | 07:54 |
| seb128 | I wonder if it's about time where we nag the security team for a pre-emptive ack to unblock us | 07:55 |
| didrocks | I would be in favor of that | 07:55 |
| seb128 | like ack with the understanding that we are going to address their review issues when they get the review done | 07:55 |
| didrocks | as we did for big part of the stack | 07:55 |
| seb128 | k, let's talk to them about that once they are up | 07:56 |
| didrocks | good plan | 07:56 |
| seb128 | didrocks, do you have any idea how alsa-base get on the iso? | 07:57 |
| seb128 | I think I'm missing something obvious | 07:57 |
| didrocks | seb128: I'm surprise, it's not from the manifest | 07:57 |
| didrocks | let me start yesterday's iso | 07:57 |
| didrocks | (manifest of germinate-outputs) | 07:58 |
| willcooke | morning | 08:01 |
| seb128 | hey willcooke, how are you today? | 08:02 |
| jamesh | hi willcooke | 08:02 |
| seb128 | hey jamesh | 08:02 |
| jamesh | I'm hopeful that we'll be able to convince the snappy folks to add polkit support to snapd: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/should-we-use-polkit-for-local-auth/1206 | 08:05 |
| jamesh | If we manage that, the user experience for gnome-software should improve | 08:05 |
| seb128 | Gustavo doesn't seem close from convinced yet | 08:06 |
| seb128 | let's see if the new round of arguments from robert and you is enough | 08:06 |
| jamesh | yep, but I'm hopeful I can change his mind | 08:06 |
| didrocks | hey willcooke | 08:06 |
| seb128 | jamesh, great, I hope it works out :-) | 08:09 |
| jamesh | seb128: one thing I don't like about the current system is that it is the equivalent of storing the root password in a file in the user's home directory | 08:10 |
| seb128 | yeah | 08:13 |
| didrocks | seb128: found it at lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/platform.artful | 08:18 |
| didrocks | desktop-common: * alsa-base # needed for proper hardware detection (hotplug/blacklist.d, modprobe.d) | 08:18 |
| seb128 | didrocks, oh, platform seed, thanks | 08:27 |
| didrocks | seb128: sounds like we shouldn't remove it though? But I don't know enough about alsa | 08:28 |
| seb128 | didrocks, not sure, jbicha asked on some trello card about it, Debian removed that package as "ROM; No longer needed, obsolete" | 08:29 |
| seb128 | not sure who would have a better clue though | 08:30 |
| seb128 | pitti, do you have any idea if alsa-base is something that might still have some use for some users/configs? | 08:30 |
| pitti | seb128: I don't know for sure; but the modprobe.d scripts might still be relevant | 08:32 |
| pitti | and the apport hook of course | 08:32 |
| koza | duflu, interesiting, reading | 08:37 |
| duflu | koza, also http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep14/ | 08:38 |
| didrocks | seb128: sounds weird to me to have ubuntu-image on the iso, wdyt? | 08:38 |
| duflu | (seems Ubuntu's pulseaudio code is already kept in debian git) | 08:38 |
| didrocks | (dep of livecd-rootfs) | 08:40 |
| koza | duflu, thanks, good stuff | 08:43 |
| seb128 | pitti, thanks | 08:48 |
| jibel | didrocks, I don't see ubuntu-image on the iso. On which image do you see it? | 08:52 |
| seb128 | didrocks, weird indeed, do you have the commit/reason why it was added? | 08:53 |
| didrocks | jibel: I guess it's only in the live | 08:54 |
| didrocks | ah, it's not on the live | 08:54 |
| didrocks | interesting, it's in the all germinate output though | 08:55 |
| didrocks | I don't know which log file we should base on thus | 08:55 |
| didrocks | http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.artful/desktop only contains the desktop seed (and not desktop-common and such) | 08:55 |
| didrocks | http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/ubuntu.artful/all has more than what we ship | 08:56 |
| didrocks | unsure there is a file corresponding to the manifest or we need to look at the manifest, and then dig into those file to find what's pulling something in | 08:56 |
| didrocks | (all is then clearly "all seeds" | 08:56 |
| didrocks | ) | 08:56 |
| didrocks | talking about spring/summer cleaning: "Source only movements to main": unity | 09:11 |
| didrocks | seb128: any idea why? ^ | 09:11 |
| * didrocks wonders if we have one binary package from unity in main | 09:12 | |
| * didrocks checks | 09:12 | |
| didrocks | libunity-core-6.0-9 | 09:14 |
| didrocks | oh unity-schemas as well is still in main | 09:14 |
| didrocks | even unity-services | 09:14 |
| didrocks | hum | 09:14 |
| didrocks | let's see why | 09:14 |
| didrocks | none are on the iso, let's try to demote them and see what's trying to pull them in (I guess something in supported)? | 09:16 |
| seb128 | didrocks, no idea, yeah, let's see | 09:25 |
| didrocks | I just checked all rdepends, nothing in main (for libunity-core, schemas, services…) | 09:25 |
| didrocks | no build-rdepends either for the -dev | 09:25 |
| didrocks | so yeah, let's go empiric | 09:25 |
| didrocks | (done, let's look at next publisher cycle) | 09:26 |
| didrocks | oh nice, we got the +1 for removing checkbox-converged from the iso | 09:27 |
| seb128 | where? | 09:27 |
| didrocks | email from the cert team (jibel sent one) | 09:27 |
| didrocks | should we kick off a build first with the current changes first? | 09:27 |
| didrocks | to have a checkpoint, wdyt? | 09:27 |
| seb128 | k, I guess I was not Cced | 09:27 |
| * didrocks looks | 09:27 | |
| seb128 | I would remove checkbox while we are at it | 09:28 |
| didrocks | nope | 09:28 |
| seb128 | I think that's likely going to be the biggest impact | 09:28 |
| didrocks | yeah | 09:28 |
| didrocks | so, no iso first? | 09:28 |
| didrocks | we do that in the some round? | 09:28 |
| seb128 | as you prefer | 09:28 |
| didrocks | (I'm fine with it) | 09:28 |
| seb128 | I would drop checkbox | 09:28 |
| didrocks | ok | 09:28 |
| seb128 | and trigger an iso build later | 09:28 |
| seb128 | or even wait tomorrow | 09:28 |
| seb128 | depending how eager you are to see the result | 09:29 |
| didrocks | anything else you want to change in the seed? | 09:29 |
| seb128 | let me have a look | 09:29 |
| didrocks | as you told you had waiting changes :) | 09:29 |
| didrocks | yep | 09:29 |
| seb128 | I was unsure about adium-theme-ubuntu | 09:30 |
| seb128 | well, it's not coming from the seed anyway | 09:30 |
| seb128 | so let's ignore that | 09:30 |
| * seb128 reads his tomboy note | 09:30 | |
| didrocks | I have no opinion on the empathy <-> adium, but I think it's not quite right to install things preemtively for a small part of our audience | 09:31 |
| didrocks | (at worst, we should tweak the empathy deps/recommends) | 09:32 |
| seb128 | yeah | 09:32 |
| seb128 | let's keep those for the next round | 09:32 |
| seb128 | in fact most of mines are depends from other packages and not seed | 09:32 |
| seb128 | the seed ones are alsa-base which I'm unsure about | 09:32 |
| seb128 | and app-install-data-partner which I'm also unsure about | 09:32 |
| jibel | didrocks, so we have a GO to remove checkbox-converged | 09:32 |
| didrocks | jibel: yeah, we are discussing it here ^ it's nice! :) | 09:32 |
| jibel | well, what you said higher :) | 09:33 |
| didrocks | :) | 09:33 |
| didrocks | seb128: yeah unsure if alsa-base is a safe one… | 09:33 |
| seb128 | didrocks, the other ones I had on my lsit you handled in your previous upload | 09:33 |
| seb128 | so it's good | 09:33 |
| seb128 | thanks for checking :-) | 09:33 |
| didrocks | seb128: hum, /usr/share/app-install/channels/xenial-partner.eula is empty, let me check artful | 09:34 |
| seb128 | also I'm unsure where that's being used | 09:34 |
| seb128 | was it a software-center thing? | 09:34 |
| seb128 | but better to check with L_aney, he knows better those stack I think | 09:35 |
| didrocks | it was a way to type/search for a package, get it even if you didn't add the partner repo yet IIRC | 09:35 |
| didrocks | seb128: mind adding it to the trello card so that we check with Lane_y? | 09:35 |
| seb128 | didrocks, done | 09:36 |
| didrocks | thx! | 09:36 |
| didrocks | uploading the seed with checkbox-converged remove | 09:37 |
| seb128 | thanks | 09:37 |
| didrocks | I guess that should remove a lot of qml* | 09:37 |
| didrocks | not Qt5 though | 09:37 |
| didrocks | (hud/greeter) | 09:37 |
| seb128 | right | 09:37 |
| didrocks | ah, we start to see some movement thanks to the seed changes: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.html | 09:40 |
| didrocks | (we'll need to discuss whoopsie at some point) | 09:41 |
| didrocks | can't wait to see the greeter off, pulling indicators (and thus, the hud), then ubuntu-app-launch, then up to some zeitgeist libs… | 09:42 |
| didrocks | (that's the reason why I don't demote binary only changes, so that we remember about those source/bin packages which are still in main and shouldn't) | 09:43 |
| seb128 | well demoting binaries is often done in case where the source is to stay in main | 09:48 |
| seb128 | is whoopsie having a standalone config dialog? | 09:49 |
| didrocks | no, it was part of activity-log-manager | 09:52 |
| didrocks | whoopsie-preferences is only a dbus service | 09:52 |
| seb128 | right | 09:54 |
| oSoMoN | oh, new battery icons, nice! | 10:21 |
| oSoMoN | thanks Daniel | 10:21 |

| willcooke | woo! | 10:31 |
| willcooke | humm, looks ok at the login screen, but still squished in the session | 10:31 |
| willcooke | oSoMoN, do you see the same? ^ | 10:32 |
| oSoMoN | willcooke, I didn’t pay attention to it until now, so dunno at the login screen, but it looks good in my session | 10:32 |
| oSoMoN | willcooke, this is how it looks here: http://people.canonical.com/~osomon/battery.png | 10:34 |
| willcooke | kk, same here | 10:34 |
| willcooke | but different on the login screen | 10:34 |
| willcooke | I'll see what's going on and log a bug | 10:35 |
| oSoMoN | dunno if it’s supposed to look different, but it’s a net improvement over what there was before | 10:35 |
| willcooke | that icon looks a bit horizontally squashed to me | 10:35 |
| willcooke | :) | 10:35 |
| willcooke | humm, another bug perhaps... | 10:35 |
| willcooke | Plug in the power, get the charging battery icon, unplug the power - still have the charging icon | 10:35 |
| didrocks | willcooke: login screen, as in using gdm ofc? | 10:36 |
| willcooke | ahh, yes, I'm still on lightdm here | 10:37 |
| willcooke | didrocks, ^ | 10:37 |
| didrocks | makes sense IMHO, may not be a symbolic icon | 10:39 |
| * didrocks demotes ubuntu-defaults-builder (sorry pitti) and removes it from supported seed, as it's what pulling unity source (due to a dep on unity-common which is now a virtual package) | 11:16 | |
| didrocks | interesting side-effect about Provides:. I bet the package can't be built anyway (it was using unity-common for the schema) | 11:17 |
| didrocks | with that, I think unity source package won't be willing again to be pulled to main | 11:17 |
| pitti | didrocks: oh, yes please -- this hasn't really been supported for ages | 11:38 |
| didrocks | waow, effect of removing unity demotion + latest changes: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.html | 12:02 |

| GunnarHj | jbicha, who has reviewed, deferred it to the team. Would be great if a decision could be made on today's meeting ( off meeting is fine for me too ;) ). | 13:06 |
| seb128 | lol | 13:10 |
| seb128 | hey GunnarHj | 13:11 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: Hi Seb! | 13:11 |
| didrocks | I think no decision should be made before we finish the transition | 13:11 |
| didrocks | (meaning gdm on the iso, no more big cleanup possible) | 13:12 |
| didrocks | so that we know where we stand with | 13:12 |
| seb128 | didrocks, it's a bit orthogonal discussions though? | 13:12 |
| seb128 | I mean it's going to be "is it ok to take a 90M hit to get those packages" | 13:12 |
| didrocks | well, depends if we want to go back to a reasonable iso size | 13:13 |
| didrocks | yeah, that as well | 13:13 |
| didrocks | I guess we can talk about it right now anyway, I doubt other than the ones present are interested in it, wdyt? | 13:13 |
| willcooke | +1 talk now works for me | 13:13 |
| seb128 | we are not going to fix on a 700M cd, so being 1.5 instead or 1.6 or 1.7 instead of 1.8 isn't changing the outcome much I think | 13:13 |
| didrocks | (a little bit ironic we just, we just removed 60+ packages of the iso) | 13:14 |
| seb128 | now seems fine to me | 13:14 |
| seb128 | 60Mb or packages? | 13:14 |
| seb128 | or 60 binaries? | 13:14 |
| willcooke | so, taking the amd64 iso as an example: we're at 1.5GB | 13:14 |
| didrocks | seb128: binaries | 13:15 |
| seb128 | k | 13:15 |
| willcooke | Trusty was 1GB | 13:15 |
| seb128 | warty was under 600M :p | 13:15 |
| willcooke | So we've already grown 500MB in the last 3 years, right? | 13:16 |
| jbicha | seb128: you really should upgrade soon ;) | 13:16 |
| jbicha | (lol) | 13:16 |
| seb128 | haha | 13:16 |
| didrocks | jbicha: shhh, he has still 2 menu entries in gnome-panel, don't shock him with the 3rd one upgrading to hoary :p | 13:16 |
| willcooke | didrocks, any guesses as to where we'll be when the transition is done? | 13:17 |
| willcooke | is this a net zero increase (i.e. we dropped the same as we'd add) | 13:17 |
| didrocks | willcooke: back to our discussion, depends on the security team and kenvandine to be done with lightdm -> gdm | 13:17 |
| didrocks | then, add a week for the final cleaning | 13:17 |
| jbicha | I don't think demoting lightdm will save us much iso space, but it will make the manifest make more sense without indicator packages | 13:18 |
| seb128 | willcooke, I would guess we win some space but not so much, still over 1.3G | 13:18 |
| didrocks | jbicha: it will | 13:18 |
| didrocks | jbicha: pulling indicator, hence qt5, hence ubuntu-app-launch, hence zeitgeist | 13:18 |
| jbicha | oh ok | 13:18 |
| seb128 | the biggest win is probably when we get qt out the iso | 13:18 |
| didrocks | not enormous, but will still count :) | 13:19 |
| jbicha | nautilus and totem-plugins still depend on zg | 13:19 |
| didrocks | yeah, I guess we can drop them or handling them smartly | 13:19 |
| seb128 | discussion is drifting | 13:20 |
| didrocks | but that's why we need some time to do a second round of cleaning, once the manifest will be easier to read :) | 13:20 |
| didrocks | anyway | 13:20 |
| GunnarHj | One problem with keeping things like this pending is that it makes progress of related work harder. | 13:20 |
| willcooke | either way, I think an extra 60MB is ok | 13:20 |
| didrocks | back to language, yeah | 13:20 |
| didrocks | did anyone test the additional size? | 13:20 |
| jbicha | I just have to figure out how to get tracker in without seb noticing ;) | 13:20 |
| willcooke | :D | 13:20 |
| didrocks | that's round 0 when making this kind of proposal | 13:20 |
| didrocks | jbicha: ahah :p | 13:20 |
| seb128 | didrocks, GunnarHj has numbers in his emails | 13:21 |
| didrocks | ah, not the MP, numbers | 13:21 |
| * didrocks reopen the email | 13:21 | |
| seb128 | but it's installed sizes | 13:21 |
| seb128 | so not iso | 13:21 |
| didrocks | GunnarHj: do you have the deb size? | 13:21 |
| didrocks | as we approximate deb size with iso size | 13:22 |
| jbicha | didrocks: I asked jibel about that last week and he said installed-size was a better estimate? | 13:22 |
| didrocks | but yeah, I think we should stick to the principle I raised in that email a year and half ago, meaning: offline installation possible, without any further question | 13:22 |
| seb128 | those debs at 10M each for well translated languages | 13:23 |
| seb128 | for 7 languages = 70M | 13:23 |
| didrocks | jbicha: hum? I'm surprised, we always used deb size as it's squashfs compression, so similar to ar | 13:23 |
| seb128 | gnome-getting-started-docs* | 13:23 |
| seb128 | it's the same order anyway | 13:23 |
| seb128 | 70M deb vs 80M installed | 13:23 |
| didrocks | sounds ok to me | 13:24 |
| jbicha | I guess those videos are already compressed and those are the biggest part of updating the proposal? | 13:24 |
| didrocks | the video is only present once, correct? | 13:24 |
| didrocks | then + subtitle | 13:24 |
| * didrocks wget | 13:25 | |
| jbicha | the video itself can be translated https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/figures/gnome-task-switching.webm.fr | 13:26 |
| didrocks | indeed, some are even | 13:27 |
| didrocks | that's different from what I saw on latest fedora's on bochecha's latptop | 13:28 |
| didrocks | but ok, so the size is coming from the videos | 13:28 |
| seb128 | which is why I guess those locales are taking 10M deb | 13:28 |
| seb128 | where others are hundred of kbs | 13:28 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: So it is. | 13:28 |
| didrocks | 11M on the video directory | 13:28 |
| didrocks | (french) | 13:29 |
| seb128 | is that video that useful? | 13:29 |
| didrocks | anyway, I think it makes sense to add them for the languages we claim complete default support. | 13:29 |
| didrocks | seb128: fedora starts the page presenting them by default | 13:29 |
| seb128 | what page? | 13:29 |
| didrocks | like showing how to reach for the dash | 13:29 |
| didrocks | gnome-help with the introduction to G-S | 13:29 |
| seb128 | ah | 13:29 |
| jbicha | seb128: when GNOME Initial Setup completes, it opens the Getting Started page with the videos right there | 13:30 |
| seb128 | do they auto open yelp on first loggin? | 13:30 |
| didrocks | however, *if* we tweak the default experience via extensions (which isn't discussed yet), we may have some discrepancies there | 13:30 |
| didrocks | seb128: yeah, first user login after install | 13:30 |
| seb128 | I see | 13:30 |
| didrocks | only 3 videos are shown though | 13:30 |
| seb128 | good point about extensions | 13:30 |
| didrocks | then, you have to go to subpages to see others | 13:30 |
| jbicha | I'm hoping jackpot_51 will send his email to the list this week about adding Initial Setup (I pinged him a couple days ago but it's holiday today) | 13:30 |
| seb128 | anyway, going back to the topic, I'm a bit torned | 13:36 |
| seb128 | 100M is not a trivial hit for the iso | 13:36 |
| seb128 | it's easy to dismiss medium-sized addition like that | 13:36 |
| seb128 | but you do that a few time and your iso is 1.7G instead of 1.1G and I think it has an impact | 13:36 |
| willcooke | 1.5GB seems like a good max. size to me | 13:37 |
| seb128 | slows down downloads, installs, has cost on mirrors, etc | 13:37 |
| willcooke | so if it's net cost zero - +1 | 13:37 |
| seb128 | +1 for me as well if we win enough to make for the cost of the suggestion addition | 13:37 |
| seb128 | -0.3 otherwise | 13:37 |
| willcooke | :D | 13:37 |
| didrocks | (mod(2)) | 13:37 |
| seb128 | I'm in favor of having the languages install work offline and without post install nagging though | 13:38 |
| seb128 | so if we are over I might suggest we do something about the video | 13:39 |
| seb128 | maybe re-encode at lower definition | 13:39 |
| willcooke | what codec does it use? x264? | 13:39 |
| seb128 | I wonder if we could have a look at re-encoding and how much we would trade off on size vs quality | 13:39 |
| didrocks | webm | 13:39 |
| willcooke | kk | 13:39 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: That aspect is even more important now, when we no longer will have language-selector-gnome to get the rest.... | 13:39 |
| didrocks | would be hard to get better compression/size rate | 13:39 |
| seb128 | well, we could lower quality or resolution | 13:40 |
| seb128 | maybe | 13:40 |
| didrocks | 854 x 480, it's not much already :/ | 13:40 |
| seb128 | I didn't look at it | 13:40 |
| didrocks | and using the On2 extension | 13:40 |
| willcooke | didrocks, webm vp8 or 9? Do you know? | 13:40 |
| didrocks | worth a try, but unsure how much smaller they can be | 13:40 |
| didrocks | vp8 | 13:40 |
| didrocks | could try with 9 | 13:41 |
| seb128 | 10M is not that big for a video I guess | 13:41 |
| * willcooke fires up handbrake | 13:41 | |
| didrocks | it's 10M for ~5:30min | 13:41 |
| seb128 | GunnarHj, hold on, why don't we have language-selector-gnome? | 13:41 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: That was my assumption. Since g-c-c includes language handling. | 13:42 |
| jbicha | we just need to fix LP: #1631750 first | 13:42 |
| seb128 | that's a topic we didn't really look at yet | 13:42 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1631750 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "Language installation doesn't work in Ubuntu GNOME 16.10 Settings app" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1631750 | 13:42 |
| didrocks | willcooke: compress the french ones please, it's the deciding factor as you know :p | 13:42 |
| seb128 | we could decide to disable that panel | 13:42 |
| seb128 | or improve it | 13:42 |
| seb128 | or have both | 13:42 |
| willcooke | didrocks, mais oui | 13:43 |
| GunnarHj | seb128, jbicha: Indeed there are issues that must be resolved. Maybe I jumped at conclusion. | 13:43 |
| seb128 | GunnarHj, having main languages complete on the iso isn't good enough/a justification for not having support for other locales | 13:44 |
| seb128 | so we need to fix the langpack installation situation in any case | 13:44 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: Very true. So a possible dropping of language-selector-gnome will need to be carefully considered anyway. | 13:45 |
| seb128 | right | 13:45 |
| seb128 | jbicha, btw did you see my comment yesterday about -faces? | 13:45 |
| seb128 | oSoMoN, I played a bit with libreoffice 5.3.4 snap, works nicely, well done! | 13:46 |
| didrocks | I don't feel we came to the bottom on this TBH, should we separate the -frami discussion? | 13:46 |
| seb128 | didrocks, -frami? | 13:46 |
| seb128 | video size? | 13:47 |
| didrocks | seb128: top part of the email | 13:47 |
| didrocks | there are 2 things: | 13:47 |
| didrocks | - dictionary for -de | 13:47 |
| didrocks | - videos/welcoming thing | 13:47 |
| didrocks | description of the -frami ones are: | 13:47 |
| seb128 | ah, -frami are the de dicts | 13:47 |
| didrocks | This package contains a enhanced version by Franz Michael Baumann with | 13:47 |
| didrocks | some words missing in the base dictionary or not (yet) belonging to the | 13:47 |
| didrocks | "core" German words. | 13:47 |
| seb128 | GunnarHj, do you know why those dicts are so much bigger? | 13:48 |
| jbicha | seb128: I guess we should so we can drop unity-control-center source from main | 13:48 |
| seb128 | jbicha, k, I was mostly asking you in case you had objections to add a binary to g-c-c | 13:49 |
| didrocks | +1 (that's the last thing keeping u-c-c in main AFAIK) | 13:49 |
| seb128 | like it's extra divergence from Debian | 13:49 |
| GunnarHj | language-selector has pulled -frami for several cycles, since it's my understanding that German users prefer it. No, I can't tell offhand why it's so much bigger. | 13:49 |
| didrocks | GunnarHj: a *lot* of new words :p Ok, maybe that was my bad when seeding the dicts for -de and I didn't notice the difference | 13:50 |
| jbicha | seb128: we already diverge there because we can't have both -control-centers install the same files so it's ok with me | 13:50 |
| seb128 | jbicha, ok, I'm going to do those changes then | 13:50 |
| seb128 | so we can demote u-c-c | 13:50 |
| jbicha | thanks | 13:50 |
| seb128 | didrocks, ^ fyi | 13:50 |
| didrocks | seb128: yeah, looks good, want me to deal with this? | 13:50 |
| seb128 | didrocks, no, it's fine, I started yesterday with the packaging changes | 13:51 |
| didrocks | good :) | 13:51 |
| seb128 | but thanks for asking :-) | 13:51 |
| seb128 | so going back to the iso topic | 13:51 |
| didrocks | seb128: I didn't demote the other binaries as a reminder for this | 13:51 |
| didrocks | (from u-c-c) | 13:51 |
| seb128 | good | 13:51 |
| seb128 | thanks | 13:51 |
| didrocks | so, shipping the -frami ones? I don't have any opinion, just that we should fix the seed or language-selector | 13:52 |
| seb128 | I don't feel like arguing against what german teams though was best for their locale | 13:52 |
| seb128 | so +1 for that even if it's a small size hit | 13:52 |
| didrocks | agreed | 13:53 |
| seb128 | good, seems we have one decision | 13:53 |
| didrocks | and now… videos! :) | 13:53 |
| seb128 | then for the gnome documentation | 13:53 |
| seb128 | I think the offline install/popup-less experience is worth it | 13:53 |
| seb128 | so we should include what is needed | 13:53 |
| seb128 | but then we should maybe look at what we can do to spare some size | 13:54 |
| seb128 | like I don't know how much we need those videos on the iso | 13:54 |
| seb128 | especially if we end up having a dock which is different from what the video describes | 13:55 |
| jbicha | without language-selector-gnome, I don't think we'd have a popup | 13:55 |
| didrocks | the video doesn't invalide the dash to dock, but yeah, the workflow would be different from what we may want to promote | 13:55 |
| jbicha | GNOME Software can do langpack stuff but it'll need a bunch of work there LP: #1678670 | 13:56 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1678670 in langpack-o-matic "Add appstream metadata to language packs" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1678670 | 13:56 |
| seb128 | jbicha, it feels like "nothing is going to prompt you to install support for your locale" which is a regression we need to fix | 13:56 |
| seb128 | it's not acceptable for not-installed-by-default locales to not prompt the users | 13:56 |
| jbicha | seb128: I believe it will install the support when you choose the locale in gnome-control-center | 13:57 |
| seb128 | it's just resulting to non translated desktops for those users | 13:57 |
| jbicha | it should work in Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 (packagekit 1.0 regressed that) | 13:57 |
| seb128 | jbicha, then you expect users to open g-c-c and navigate it in a language they don't understand | 13:57 |
| seb128 | which has some issues | 13:57 |
| jbicha | hmm? | 13:57 |
| seb128 | - they are not going to know they can do that | 13:57 |
| GunnarHj | jbicha: Only newly installed languages. Languages which were incompletely installed by the installer won't be prompted for additions, if I understand it correctly. | 13:58 |
| seb128 | - they might not find it | 13:58 |
| seb128 | - they might not understand the language of the UI to get where they need | 13:58 |
| jbicha | how are they going to set their computer to a different locale? | 13:58 |
| seb128 | "different"? | 13:58 |
| seb128 | you select your language in ubiquity | 13:58 |
| seb128 | if you do an offline greek install | 13:58 |
| seb128 | then reboot | 13:58 |
| seb128 | and connect to wifi | 13:59 |
| jbicha | ok, yes I don't think GNOME handles that very well | 13:59 |
| seb128 | with language-selector your get prompted to install the support for your locale | 13:59 |
| jbicha | we could fix GNOME Software to do that, or we could keep that part of language-selector-gnome | 14:00 |
| seb128 | right | 14:00 |
| seb128 | I'm going to create a card about that | 14:00 |
| jbicha | but ideally we wouldn't have its control-center panel since the GNOME ones works fine | 14:00 |
| seb128 | indeed | 14:00 |
| didrocks | dialog + opening g-c-c panel otherwise? (but it's work) | 14:01 |
| seb128 | g-c-c panel doesn't know about langpacks though | 14:01 |
| seb128 | it has no UI to communicate that a language is configured but misses debs to work | 14:01 |
| seb128 | afaik | 14:01 |
| jbicha | seb128: it might in 16.04? | 14:02 |
| seb128 | we are probably going to need work on that panel anyway | 14:02 |
| jbicha | I don't know | 14:02 |
| seb128 | needs testing | 14:02 |
| seb128 | I'm going to create a card to investigate the topic | 14:02 |
| jbicha | the panel is broken right now :( | 14:02 |
| seb128 | right | 14:02 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: Please let me know where that card is. I'm a bit interested. :) | 14:03 |
| seb128 | we already have a card in the trello board about that | 14:03 |
| seb128 | GunnarHj, the url of the trello board is in the topic | 14:03 |
| didrocks | GunnarHj: on your MP, you should do something like that rather than duplicating the package names: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25018466/ | 14:03 |
| didrocks | GunnarHj: I did spent quite some time to get those loops working correctly to avoid all those duplication, per language, so feel free to continue on that path please ;) | 14:03 |
| didrocks | (I can add that as a reminder on the MP) | 14:04 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: Thanks, I'll take a look at the trello board later. | 14:05 |
| seb128 | we covered quite some topics now | 14:06 |
| seb128 | didrocks, what's your conclusion on the iso size/languages support suggested changes? | 14:06 |
| oSoMoN | seb128, ack, glad to know that you didn’t find any obvious issue with it :) let’s see if my call for testing gets us some useful feedback | 14:06 |
| seb128 | willcooke, ^ yours? | 14:06 |
| GunnarHj | didrocks: Thanks for the tip. I did use that technique for some of the packages, but not all.. Will take another look. | 14:06 |
| didrocks | GunnarHj: just wrote a reminder :) | 14:06 |
| didrocks | seb128: well, -frami is a no brainer. I'm with you on the video, concerned about size AND consistency if we add extensions | 14:07 |
| didrocks | sounds like Will is trying to reencode with vp9 | 14:07 |
| willcooke | nearly done | 14:07 |
| didrocks | let's see what that gives | 14:07 |
| willcooke | it's smaller | 14:07 |
| willcooke | one sec | 14:07 |
| didrocks | as long as it's not bigger on the inside… :) | 14:08 |
| seb128 | didrocks, I see what you did there | 14:08 |
| seb128 | :p | 14:08 |
| didrocks | ;) | 14:08 |
| seb128 | jbicha, btw do you plan to push forward on some of those suggested additions to the default install? the discussions seem to have stalled | 14:12 |
| seb128 | oSoMoN, btw did you get any reply for kernel team about the issue that hits the libreoffice i386 builds? | 14:13 |
| jbicha | seb128: yes, it's in my backlog so it may take some time before it's done | 14:15 |
| didrocks | so, the iso jibel kicked after the removal of quite some packages still boot \o/ | 14:17 |
| seb128 | jbicha, no worry, I just wanted to check and to make sure you know that the questions on the list were not pushing against having some in, we just need to make sure we look at them properly before integrating them | 14:17 |
| didrocks | (not that much of a surprise TBH ;)) | 14:17 |
| willcooke | didrocks, seb128 - vp9 is approx 1/2 the size | 14:18 |
| willcooke | looks the same quality to me | 14:19 |
| seb128 | that's a good win | 14:19 |
| willcooke | on a very quick inspection | 14:19 |
| didrocks | waow | 14:19 |
| didrocks | totem opens them without any additional codec install? | 14:19 |
| willcooke | http://paste.ubuntu.com/25018555/ | 14:20 |
| didrocks | looks promising! | 14:20 |
| willcooke | didrocks, works here, but I need to test in a virgin machine | 14:20 |
| didrocks | willcooke: you may have your contribution to upstream :) | 14:20 |
| jbicha | willcooke: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-getting-started-docs/tree/animation (specifically line 39 of gnomerender.py) | 14:20 |
| jbicha | that directory is not shipped in the tarball but I'm thinking that maybe it should be (as "real" source) | 14:21 |
| seb128 | didrocks, iso went down by 22M today, a good start | 14:22 |
| didrocks | yep! :) | 14:23 |
| seb128 | and hud is out | 14:23 |
| didrocks | seb128: I know, I demoted quite some packages while you were away (the component-mismatch list was long) | 14:23 |
| didrocks | and unity source isn't in main anymore as well, which was the "main" motivation | 14:23 |
| seb128 | good work! | 14:23 |
| didrocks | thx | 14:24 |
| didrocks | jbicha: I guess having blender in main just for rendering the videos would be overkill for most distros :p | 14:24 |
| jbicha | didrocks: build-dependencies don't have to be in main :) | 14:25 |
| jbicha | I think Ubuntu's "main" is pretty unique among distros | 14:25 |
| didrocks | should we build thus from source? | 14:26 |
| jbicha | I don't know if other distros would want to rebuild the videos from source, but I think Debian would | 14:26 |
| jbicha | the package isn't updated very often | 14:27 |
| didrocks | I guess there is a headless mode for blender, so compatible with buildds? | 14:27 |
| didrocks | ah, the main build-deps thing was when I was away from distro, that makes sense now (thanks seb for the pointer) | 14:28 |
| willcooke | didrocks, seb128 - confirmed they play on a virgin Artful desktop | 14:28 |
| willcooke | via totem | 14:29 |
| seb128 | \o/ | 14:29 |
| didrocks | excellent! | 14:29 |
| willcooke | I'd want to do some tweaking of the bitrates still really | 14:29 |
| willcooke | that was the deafults | 14:29 |
| willcooke | defaults | 14:29 |
| didrocks | willcooke: once you are done, are you ok proposing it to GNOME yourself or need us? | 14:29 |
| willcooke | didrocks, let's see how I get on | 14:29 |
| didrocks | oki :) | 14:29 |
| willcooke | I'll create a card | 14:29 |
| seb128 | thanks didrocks, willcooke | 14:30 |
| didrocks | I guess it's hard to debate if we win half the size against those vids, wdyt? | 14:30 |
| seb128 | so I guess we are +1 on the changes suggested by GunnarHj then? | 14:30 |
| didrocks | yep :) | 14:30 |
| didrocks | at least, to me | 14:30 |
| seb128 | me too | 14:30 |
| didrocks | and if we add dash to dock-like experience, I think we can create one based on the main one | 14:30 |
| seb128 | didrocks, do you want to reply on the list for the record or should I? | 14:30 |
| didrocks | or tweak it | 14:30 |
| didrocks | seb128: feel free | 14:30 |
| seb128 | k | 14:31 |
| seb128 | yeah, let's see what we need to do after we decide on extensions | 14:31 |
| GunnarHj | Thanks guys; I'll go back and complete the MP accordingly. | 14:31 |
| didrocks | excellent | 14:31 |
| seb128 | yw, thanks everyone for the discussion | 14:32 |
| didrocks | thanks guys | 14:32 |
| seb128 | GunnarHj, and thanks for nagging us about giving a reply :-) | 14:32 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: Always at your service. :) | 14:33 |
| seb128 | GunnarHj, oh, while you are around, we got an artful translations export on launchpad yesterday, I'm going to have a look to do a langpacks build tomorrow | 14:33 |
| seb128 | just as a fyi | 14:34 |
| seb128 | jbicha, ^ | 14:34 |
| seb128 | you might be interested as well | 14:34 |
| seb128 | the exports includes gnome-shell, I checked | 14:34 |
| seb128 | (I approved the template a few days ago, we got translations imported correctly) | 14:34 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: Sounds good. Btw, is ubuntu-help gone now? | 14:35 |
| seb128 | I didn't look | 14:36 |
| seb128 | tarball is big and I'm on limited bandwith atm, I can check later | 14:36 |
| Trevinho | flexiondotorg: you also want http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz/0.9.13/revision/4119 for xenial? | 14:37 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: Ok. We'd better make sure it didn't include something from an older build of ubuntu-docs, since we handle the docs outside of the language packs now. | 14:38 |
| seb128 | GunnarHj, it wouldn't hurt much, just waste some space right? | 14:38 |
| seb128 | but I'm going to keep an eye open for that, thanks for the comment | 14:38 |
| GunnarHj | seb128: Only spece waste, yes. | 14:38 |

| jbicha | it looks like Qt was added to Ubuntu's default install for 11.10, 6 years ago | 14:43 |
| ogra_ | yeah, just shortly before we planned to switch to unity8 and mir by default :P | 14:44 |
| jbicha | I think it was added for the Ubuntu One client | 14:45 |

That should fix the currently known real use-cases but showed some failures with some test cases. However upstream decided that they want to see real use-cases. So behavior is probably not back to how it was before but might need convincing arguments for upstream that something breaking is a le | 15:57 |
