Laneyhow are you?08:11
Laneywillcooke: you good?08:12
didrocksLaney: really good! Got some nice progress in work in our dismantling strategy. However, quite warm/hot during the whole week (35-38°C), was hard08:12
seb128I'm good thanks, had a mostly relaxing w.e and a good night08:12
Laneyhey oSoMoN, thanks, how's it going over there?08:12
oSoMoNgood morning chrisccoulson, have you followed bug #1702407 ? there are updated packages for trusty/xenial/yakkety in https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage/+packages, I’d need you to promote them asap08:12

didrocksthat's what we did :)08:13
LaneyoSoMoN: ah, good luck with the move08:14

Laneymeh, I expired from backporters over the last week08:14
oSoMoNit’s amazing how much cr^Wstuff one can pile up in a relatively small flat08:14

oSoMoNthanks seb128 :)08:17
didrocksoSoMoN: the important question is: do you have the Internet in your new house already? :)08:17
oSoMoNdidrocks, I wish… I signed up for it last week, and they were supposed to call me to set it up within 48hrs, but that never happened08:19
oSoMoNSpain.08:19
Laney/o\08:19
didrockswell, ISP providers + Spain, what could happen? :)08:19
oSoMoNI'm also going to be downgraded from fiber to ADSL, going to take a hit :/08:20
oSoMoNbut the new house is worth it :)08:20
didrocks;)08:20
* Laney imagines that every house in Spain comes with its own pool08:21
seb128oSoMoN, is it in the country side?08:21
didrockseth45 slot in the pool? (aka the Trevinh_o way)08:21
oSoMoNno pool, but on the edge of a forest, it doesn't really qualify as country side as it's a 5min drive from densely populated areas but it manages to be very quiet08:23
oSoMoNjust got a call from the phone company, they’re coming to set up my internet now \o/08:30
seb128nice08:33
willcookeAnyone know anything about themeing gdm?08:47
willcookeI'd like to have a play with it08:47
willcookemaybe next week while I'm sprinting I can spend a few hours tinkering08:47
seb128what sort of changes do you want to do?08:48
seb128I'm not sure you can theme much atm :-/08:48
willcookeIn other news:  I tried building the help videos from "getting-started-docs".  I started the rendering on Friday afternoon and by Sunday afternoon it was still going with no obvious end in sight.  I'll kick something off on a canonistack instance and just leave it running08:49
willcookeseb128, I was thinking of changing a few colours etc.08:49
didrockschanging background and themes color are like any gnome session (for the gdm users)08:49
didrocksunsure you can move widgets and do more though without rewriting a greeter08:49
willcookeI had a very quick look over the weekend, and there seem to be a few downloadable themes, so I'll start with those08:49
seb128k08:50
rbasakOn upgrade I got asked what display manager I wanted, but it defaulted to lightdm. For the switch to GNOME, shouldn't the default have been gdm3?09:04
* oSoMoN is now connected to the intertubes from his new house09:10
willcookedidrocks, see rbasak's comment ^09:18
didrocksrbasak: yeah, that's the goal and kenvandine[m][m] did some work there/tested it on a vm09:19
didrocksrbasak: so apparently, not all cases are covered. I guess having your upgrade logs would help09:19
didrocksnormally, you get a new ubuntu-session package setting a lag09:19

seb128rbasak, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ken-vandine/gnome-session/ubuntu_lightdm_gdm3_transition/revision/403/debian/ubuntu-session.postinst09:24
didrocksI really wonder if packages are configured in the correct order. Not the first time I see complains on this since Friday09:25
seb128rbasak, maybe you can file a bug and see what is going wrong in that snippet for you?09:25
seb128didrocks, that postinst shouldn't be impacted by the order?09:26
didrocksadd your apt logs including that upgrade09:26
seb128it just greps accountsservice files09:26
didrocksseb128: does having it by default prevent the debconf prompt still?09:26
didrocksseb128: or could we have gdm3 configured because that ubuntu-session postinst is trigger?09:27
seb128I think having default should prevent the question09:27
didrocksbut yeah, you may be right, could not be an ordering issue but just something with the script09:27
seb128I might be wrong, I didn't try to debug much09:28
seb128in any case you are right, apt log is useful09:28
didrocksI would still like to have apt logs to ensure that one those users ubuntu-session was configured first09:28
seb128rbasak, ^ can you file a bug with your upgrade log and maybe the result of the grep command from that postinst snippet?09:28
* didrocks wonders why grep -q wasn't used instead of storing it in a variable09:29
didrocksoh09:29
didrocksRET=`grep 'XSession=ubuntu' /var/lib/AccountsService/users/*`09:29
didrocks 13TRANSITION=$?09:29
didrocksit's wrong09:29
didrocksthe script is set -e09:29
didrocksso, if you don't have ubuntu session set as a default anyway, the upgrade script fails09:29
didrocks(independently of the current reported issue)09:30
seb128well the intend is to set default if you have "ubuntu" as a session before upgrade no?09:30
seb128or what do you mean?09:30
didrocksyou don't have ubuntu set as default09:30
didrocksthe grep fails (exit != 0)09:31
didrocksthe script stops09:31
didrocksthe upgrade stops on postinst failure09:31
Laneyit also misses #DEBHELPER#09:32
Laneyand I would only do any of this stuff on upgrade from an old version09:32
didrocksyeah, it will reoccur on any upgrade09:33
didrocksso if you set back lightdm as default09:34
didrocksit will reforce you with gdm on next upgrade09:34
Laneyah well09:34
Laneythat's what alphas are for!09:34
didrocksI can fix it after lunch, unsure that's what rbasak got though09:35
Laneythe question was also about the default being lightdm not gdm3, maybe that's something to fix too in any case09:35
* Laney isn't sure09:36
didrocksLaney: wdym in "the default being lightdm"?09:36
didrocksah09:36
didrocksadding that check09:36
seb128we should really have peer reviews for landing such changes09:36
didrocksyeah09:36
didrocks(and yes)09:36
didrocksor at least pointing to the commit before uploading09:36
LaneyI suppose it's preferring to show you the one you have chosen already09:37
Laneythat's probably fine09:37
Laneyoh, the MIR got approved09:39

* Laney has a VM in clean pre-swap state09:43
* Laney tests it09:43
Laney(the archive state)09:43
didrocksyeah, better to test09:44
didrocksbut anyway, as you told, it should be conditioned by: lightdm as the default (our previous default) + version to only happen once09:44
Laneyyeah I got prompted09:46
didrocksLaney: was ubuntu-session configured before gdm?09:48
Laneywait09:48
didrocks(just to confirm at least it's not order related)09:48
didrocks but really that unconditional exit 009:48
Laneyhmm this is worse than I thought09:48
didrocksah?09:48
Laneythe question is asked when apt does "Preconfiguring packages"09:48
Laneythat is before any maintainer scripts have run09:49
didrocksdo-release-upgrade or just apt?09:49
Laneyapt09:49
* Laney doesn't know how that works actually09:49
Laneysomething to do with debconf I guess09:49
didrocksI thought we only downloaded the debconf prompts on release upgrade via our tools09:50
didrocksthat's maybe hooked into apt itself now…09:50
didrocksbut ken got it working09:50
didrocksmaybe better to wait for him on this to not reash the whole thing thus?09:50
LaneyI think it's basically that the gdm3.config file is run in a first pass after the debs are downloaded09:53
didrocksyep, probably09:54
didrocksactually, we did the switch the other way around in 201009:54
didrockswould be interesting to just look up at how we did this at the time09:55
* didrocks doesn't remember that far :p09:55
Laneyyeah let's wait for ken09:57

didrockswillcooke: nice tee-shirt! :)10:23

didrocksliking the theming as well10:23
didrocksmaybe the selector box should be orange instead of blue?10:23
didrocks(or aubergine)10:23
willcookeIt seems you have to embed the wallpaper inside the gdm compiled resource, a full path to a wallpaper on disk was not enough10:24
willcookeyeah, I'll tweak the colours and fonts etc if I can10:24
didrocksyeah, it's a gresource, so compiled10:24
willcookethat was just to see if it's even possible10:24
didrocksbut shipping a theme for the gdm user makes sense10:24
willcookenow I know what to do I will play with it some more next week10:24
didrocks(maybe not patch the default one, just shipping another one)10:25
didrocksheh :)10:25
didrockstravel-duties10:25
willcookeyeah, shipping a new one probably makes most sense10:25
* willcooke finally gets that cup of tea10:25
didrockswe can thus let people revert to "default experience"10:25
didrockswaow10:25
didrocksshould be really cold now10:25
willcookeI'll start over again :)10:25
willcookedidrocks, seems the default is still to use xorg - is that right?10:29
willcookeon this newly installed machine ubuntu is the default, ubuntu on wayland is available10:29
willcookeintel machine10:29
didrockswillcooke: right now yeah, we default to xorg until we take a decision10:31
didrocksbut remember that we discovered that ubiquity isn't wayland's compatible10:31
willcookeya10:32
willcookeand jibel reported a few issues with wayland.  My gut feeling is that wayland isnt ready yet.  But lets do some more playing10:32
didrocksyeah10:33
didrocksstill good in any case to provide the other session type10:33
willcooke+110:33
jibelwillcooke, agreed, on a live session at least apport and ubiquity are crashing on wayland10:33
jibelseems like core components to me :)10:33
willcooke:)10:33
didrocksdepends, if you switch to wayland, as apport doesn't work, no automated crash report from ubiquity10:34
didrockssounds like a win :-)10:34

jbichagood morning10:46
didrockshey jbicha10:47
jbichaI think the problem with Wayland is that if you want it to be default in 18.04 LTS, we ought to make it default in 17.10 too, right?10:47
didrocksdepends, if we have enough feedback from the pre-testing + optional sessions, it's still doable, but yeah, if the decision is to switch it on by default on 18.04 LTS, I guess switching it one session earlier would make all of us more confortable10:49
jbichayeah, obviously it's not a hard requirement since we have made major changes in the LTS dev cycle before without doing them in LTS-1 first10:55
seb128jbicha, hey10:56
seb128jbicha, that's sort of true, but I don't think we replied to the question on whether we want it default in 18.04 yet10:57
jbichawe sort of told people months ago that we were going to do Wayland by default in 18.04…10:59
Trevinhoseb128: hey, did you see my ucc branches?10:59
seb128Trevinho, hey, no10:59
Trevinhoseb128: https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/285510:59
seb128jbicha, where did we say that?10:59
Trevinhoseb128: i forgot to push these commits in my previous branch -_-11:00
seb128Trevinho, that's a bileto not a branch?11:00
jbichaI'm not opposed to us making the right decision with Wayland, but maybe we need to be more cautious before making announcements like that in the future11:00
seb128jbicha, I don't think we commited anywhere at making wayland default for the LTS11:00
jbichahttps://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2017/04/18/%23ubuntu-desktop.html#t17:1111:01
jbichaand based on that happening during a somewhat-well-advertised meeting, the media reported it as confirmed too11:01
seb128typical example of medias not doing their job correctly11:02
seb128you can't pick up an IRC line from a discuss and make it look like it's a formal announce or commitement11:02
jbichaI really don't think the media is to blame here when the Desktop Lead makes a pretty plain statement when asked at an event where third parties are invited11:03
jbichait was like a press conference11:03
seb128lol11:03
seb128we don't have the same view from what IRC is11:03
jbichathat wasn't a normal weekly meeting11:03
seb128I didn't speak about meeting11:03
seb128but about IRC11:04
jbichathat was the 2nd meeting that we invited others to attend11:04
seb128IRC has never been a platform where we do any kind of announcement11:04
seb128it's one were we have discussions11:04
seb128and state intends11:04
seb128that line should read as "we are working on making wayland default"11:05
seb128which isn't a commitement but an intend11:05
seb128if we think it's not working out for some reasons we keep the option to go with plan B11:05
jbichathe media is not at fault here11:06
jbichahttp://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/04/ubuntu-will-run-wayland-default11:06
seb128let's agree to disagree11:06
jbichahttps://twitter.com/8none1/status/85441397976618188911:06
jbichayou just said that the media should have confirmed the news before reporting it; that was actually done here11:07
seb128no, I'm saying that they should know better than making news from IRC discussions11:07
seb128we have proper lists and website were we do announcements11:07
jbichaor twitter?11:07
seb128does Ubuntu has a twitter?11:08
jbichahttps://twitter.com/8none1/status/85441397976618188911:08
seb128and even if twitter, from the Ubuntu account11:08
seb128that's a personal account11:08
seb128not a project one11:08
jbichawillcooke: pinging you since we're talking about your statements…11:08
willcookejbicha, o/11:08
* willcooke reads11:08
willcookewell, that was a long time ago11:09
willcookeIt looked like we were going to use it, but based on the data we now have, we can change that11:09
seb128jbicha, what I'm saying is that there is more consideration and carefulness done in making official announce than there is in having people stating something on their private account11:09
willcooke17.10 would have to be Wayland if we are planning to ship wayland only in 18.0411:10
seb128jbicha, I don't think anyone would consider making a commitement before evaluating the technologie and starting using it11:10
jbichaI'll repeat what I said at the beginning: I'm ok with us making the right decision regardless of previous decisions, but let's try to be more careful11:11
seb128I don't think we ever had a *decision*11:12
jbichaabout these kinds of statements in the future before we're certain11:12
seb128we stated an intend11:12
seb128but yes, I agree with you than more can be read in those statement that it should be11:13
seb128and that it would be better to be less direct/let the door open for changes next time11:13
jbichathe statements were not worded as goals or intents or "we'd like to" or "we'll try to"11:13
seb128right, they should have been11:13
jbichaok11:13
seb128but it's IRC, it's not a media were you carefully craft your messages11:13
seb128it's one where you type as people comment11:14
seb128which is why I say it's not a proper media for announce11:14
willcookeOnce we *know* I'll do an insights post11:14
willcookemoving on, I think...11:14

seb128jbicha, let me have a look11:15
willcookeseb128, ahhh - so your comment on the trello card was that online accounts itself is used in those places, not u1.  Gotay11:16
willcooke*gotya11:16
seb128willcooke, yeah, my usecase is, as written in the bug, to add a google account to UOA and have my events listed in the indicator and my calendar in gnome-calendar11:16
willcookeseb128, nod. thx11:16
seb128yw11:16
seb128sorry if that was not clear11:17
seb128the framework was used on the phone as well11:17
seb128and I think the u1 plugin was only working on touch11:17
willcookeseb128, nw.  So are you +1 on removing u-o-a from Artful?11:17
seb128yes11:17
willcookeand allow U7 session people to add the account manually11:17
Trevinhoseb128: yeah, branches are linked11:17
seb128Trevinho, k, let me look11:17
seb128willcooke, it's less good than it was but it's part of that game, we lower maintainance cost but the session is degrading in result11:18
jbichawillcooke: it's already half done; UOA has been dropped from Empathy, Shotwell, e-d-s and the Unity lens and there's already a removal bug for UOA stuff11:18
willcookejbicha, ack, thx.  Just making sure I understand the complete story ;)11:19
willcooke(for a change ;P )11:19
jbichathe Unity story for Online Accounts is a bit rough like Seb pointed out on his last comment to the Trello card11:20
jbichaUnity itself doesn't need Online Accounts but it would be nice if they had some way of setting up Online Accounts for GNOME apps they might use11:21
willcookeOn the topic of settings - do we need to add software sources in to gnome settings?11:22
jbichano :)11:22
willcookeoh11:23
willcookeI found it11:23
willcookein Software11:23
willcookehumm11:23
seb128right11:24
willcookethought is:  all the existing docs in the world will point users to settings.  But also, this is a new world, and so those docs can be considered out of date.  So... dunno what's best here11:24
willcookejust throwing it out there11:24
jbichaupdate-manager also links to "Software & Updates"11:26

ubot5bug 1703358 in gnome-session (Ubuntu) "Display manager defaults to lightdm on upgrade" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/170335813:04
kenvandinerbasak, your ubuntu-session version in that upgrade was from before the migration script13:05
kenvandinerbasak, your's was actually several revisions behind.  3.24.1-0ubuntu8 vs 3.24.1-0ubuntu11 which had the migration script13:05
didrockskenvandine: hey, how are you?13:06
kenvandinehey didrocks13:06
kenvandinegood and you?13:06
didrocksexcellent! getting a lot fresher :)13:06
didrockskenvandine: we discussed 2 modifications that should be done in the script though: the migration should be done only once, depending on ubuntu-session version (here, it will be every time, conditionnally no?) and only if lightdm was set as default. Making sense?13:10
kenvandineit should only happen if gdm isn't set to the default13:10
didrockskenvandine: but it means, I select lightdm as default13:11
didrocksnext ubuntu-session upgrade13:11
kenvandinetrue13:11
didrocksit will retry to reset it, correct?13:11
didrockshence the "depending on version" and maybe only if lightdm is default, as we only migrate our defaults13:12
kenvandinechecking version isn't great though, there could be lots of revisions before users upgrade13:12
kenvandineperhaps we leave a file behind once we've run it once13:13
kenvandineso it doesn't happen again13:13
didrockskenvandine: version before your migration script was in?13:14
didrocksthat should cover all non ppa case, even if we continue upgrading on xenial?13:15
kenvandinethis script isn't in any ppa or xenial13:15
kenvandineit's in the ubuntu-session package for artful only13:15
didrocksyeah13:15
kenvandinethat's why we put the script in ubuntu-session13:15
didrocksthat's why I mention you can just add the version check to "before I added that postinst"13:16
kenvandineshould really limit the exposure for flavors, etc13:16
didrocksalso you need to have #DEBHELPER# ;)13:16
kenvandinewhoops... i guess the other postinst scripts in that package didn't have that :)13:16
kenvandinei copied it from another as a template :)13:17
didrocks:)13:17
didrocksautotools way :p13:17
kenvandineanyway...13:17
didrocks(just checked, the .postinst and .prerm had them though)13:17
kenvandineso add a check to see if the version we are upgrading from was older than the version we added it13:17
kenvandinei might have copied it from gdm3, can't recall which13:18
didrockskenvandine: yeah, I think like 3.24.1-0ubuntu10~ should be good13:18
didrocksthat + checking lightdm was default13:18
didrocksotherwise, I just tried on a vm, works well!13:18
kenvandineoh, it's like 2/3 of the way through the file in gdm3 :)13:18
kenvandinedidrocks, i already check to see if gdm3 is the default and exit if it is13:19
kenvandineisn't that the same thing?13:19
didrocksno13:19
didrocksI would say we only change people who had lightdm by default13:19
kenvandineright13:19
didrockslike, if they switched to another display manger13:19
didrocks(even not gdm)13:20
kenvandineoh... like not gdm13:20
didrockswe don't force over them13:20
kenvandinegot it13:20
didrocksyep13:20
kenvandineso opposite13:20
didrocksso that we only migrate "our" defaults13:20
didrocksif people wanted another combination, let's not upset them ;)13:20
didrocks(even if in practice, apart if someone has installed kde with the kdm-replacement) and have a test user with the default, I don't see a lot of that happening)13:21
ricotzoSoMoN, hi, fyi, I am looking into libreoffice 5.4.0~rc2 this week13:35
kenvandinedidrocks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25061324/13:37
didrockskenvandine: hum, I don't think you should exit like this, you can imbricate the if and only do the action if all matches. Imagine you have something to be done later on or in #DEBHELPER#13:39
kenvandineoh right in DEBHELPER13:39

kenvandinegood catch14:22
Laneyand14:23
Laneywhat about doing "if grep -qs pattern file; then ...; fi" instead of capturing the return code?14:24
LaneyAND (the worst bit)14:24
Laneyfor me the prompt was shown before the postinst14:24
kenvandineshouldn't be...14:24
Laneywhen apt does "Preconfiguring packages" to show all the prompts up front at the start of the run14:24

Laneynod14:33
Laneyanyways that's my feedback14:33
Laneythe thing in the screencast I think is the most annoying one14:33
Laneybecause that has to be fixed in gdm3.config afaics14:33
Laneyand you can't rely on deps there14:34
kenvandineyeah14:34
kenvandinewhich means this really needs to be done in gdm3 not in ubuntu-session like we thought14:34
kenvandineLaney, oh... i did a apt-get dist-upgrade as well as an apt-get install gdm3 ubuntu-session last week14:37
kenvandineyour video doesn't actually configure ubuntu-session at all14:38
kenvandinewhat versio of ubuntu-session do you have?14:38
Laneyno I didn't upgrade that14:38
LaneyI was showing you that the prompt appears before any package is configured14:38
Laneyearlier today when I noticed this for the first time I did get the upgraded ubuntu-session14:39
kenvandinei'll run through it again, but i tested those two scenarios last week and didn't get the prompt14:40
kenvandineLaney, and your user session is set to ubuntu right?14:40
kenvandinenot gnome?14:40
Laneyyeah, XSession=ubuntu14:41
kenvandineok14:41
Laneyso, you can do something like14:41
Laneydpkg-reconfigure lightdm, put it back as the default14:41
Laneyapt remove gdm3, apt install gdm314:41
Laneyto reproduce what I just did more or less14:41
Laneyerm, apt install ubuntu-desktop (maybe that wouldn't matter)14:41
kenvandinebut the script runs on ubuntu-session configure14:42
kenvandinenot gdm314:42
kenvandinels /etc/X11/def*14:42
kenvandinethat would leave a file there14:42
Laneywait a second, I'll just record a new one with ubuntu-session removed14:45
Laneyit's the same because gdm3.config is the first thing being run, but at least that'll remove any confusion14:46
Laneyhttps://asciinema.org/a/EB9VrjTcVZMmNK27lQ0JCTME914:48
willcookedidrocks, > 100% exists for me in A!  I agree it's good to have there, it is a bit low otherwise14:48
didrockswillcooke: it does exist, but you can't override it so that volume +/- keeps you above 100%14:53
kenvandineLaney, wtf... i just reproduced it too14:53
willcookedidrocks, ohh, I see.14:55
seb128didrocks, below you mean?14:56
seb128or I'm not sure to understand what you describe14:56
didrocksseb128: well, you can't override the settings to tell "keep me above 100% if I press volume +"14:56
seb128oh right14:56
didrocksif I set manually to 110%, then use the media key "volume +", it resets at 100%14:56
seb128so purely g-s-d to change I guess?14:57
seb128g-c-c is fine14:57
didrocksdepends, we added a settings to say "allow above 100%" and didn't make it the default, correct?14:57
didrocks(and that's g-c-c, sound panel I guess)14:57
Laneykenvandine: sucks eh14:59
seb128I'm not sure how the upstream panel works14:59
seb128didrocks, k, so yeah it looks like they don't have an equivalent, the UI is slightly misleading that it have the mark and let you go over it from the settings panel15:02
kenvandineLaney, i sure wish i had the older debs available to test with :/15:02
seb128but yeah they don't let key go over by choice15:02
