ricotzoSoMoN, hey07:36
willcookemorning all07:37
willcookedidrocks, I installed a new machine from the daily ISO yesterday, and both "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu Wayland" are running Wayland :)  Is that a bug?07:37
willcookeI'm seeing a strange keyboard-auto-repeat problem, which I'd like to test on X07:38
dufluwillcooke, I suspect gdm is using Wayland/Xwayland in the bacdkground... ??07:38
dufluI noticed the Xorg login still had (X?)wayland running too07:39
didrockswillcooke: oh, that's indeed weird, nothing changed from this, but I only tested on a vm when selecting the wayland session starts wayland and ubuntu starts xorg07:42
didrockswillcooke: we saw that as well on iso testing07:42
didrocksXDG_SESSION_TYPE is showing up wayland for your ubuntu session thus?07:42
willcookedidrocks, confirmed, it is07:44
didrockscould be gdm doing things "smartish", but surprised by the mecanism as I don't reproduce it on vms07:44
didrockswillcooke: and you confirm XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP=ubuntu ?07:44
didrocks(it didn't select ubuntu-wayland for whatever reasons?)07:44
willcookedidrocks, ah ha  - it's ubuntu-wayland, but I specifically selected the not-wayland session07:45
didrockscould be a gdm bug :p07:45
didrockslike, "are you sure? you can do wayland" :p07:45
didrocksso, I guess if you logout07:45
didrocksand see current session selected, is it ubuntu or ubuntu wayland?07:45
willcookeit's ubuntu07:46
didrockswaow07:46
didrocksso, sounds like a gdm bug07:46
didrockswhen logged in07:46
didrocks~/.dmrc has ubuntu or ubuntu-wayland?07:47
willcookethat doesnt exist07:47
dufluBoth scenarios will have "Xwayland" running. Seems the first instance is used by gdm itself.07:48
didrocksyeah, I think gdm tries wayland in its own session if possible (for the gdm user)07:48
didrocksbut doesn't impact which session is then selected07:48
didrocksI wonder where gdm store which session is saved as selected by the user07:49
flexiondotorgMorning didrocks willcooke duflu ricotz07:49
willcookemorning flexiondotorg07:49
didrocksnot .dmrc, I don't see anything in /var07:49
didrockshey flexiondotorg07:49
dufluMorning flexiondotorg07:49
jibelis 2 fingers scrolling broken just for me?07:52
didrocksgdm doesn't log it07:52
duflujibel, I found two-finger right click is broken. You can re-enable it in Gnome Tweak Tool07:52
dufluMaybe scrolling too?07:53
didrockswillcooke: I'm doing xenial -> yakkety (in progress) -> zesty -> artful upgrades today, I'll let you know if I have the same behavior07:53
didrocksmaybe the others already in artful can confirm the bug07:53
didrocks(can't in a vm)07:53
jibeldidrocks, i've X here on hw on 2 machines07:55
didrocksok, so doesn't seem widespreadd, thanks jibel07:55
didrockswillcooke: ^07:55
didrockswould be interesting to know why your gdm is login you in the wayland session…07:55
didrocksAccountsService maybe?07:57
didrockswillcooke: mind pasting /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<your_user> ?07:58
willcookedidrocks, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25066927/07:59
didrocksXSession=ubuntu-wayland08:00
didrocksso, it confirms gdm selects ubuntu-wayland for you whatever you set08:00
didrocksfor $reasons08:00
willcookecan I just edit that?08:00
didrockswell, you should do it when gdm is stopped and not logged in into any session08:00
didrocksbut gdm will probably rewrite it anyway08:00
willcookekk, lemme try08:01
willcookeoh08:01
didrocksmaybe try to select the wayland session08:01
didrockslog in08:01
didrockslogout08:01
didrocksselect the ubuntu session08:01
didrocksand log in ofc :p08:01
willcookedidrocks, tried all that08:01
jibelwillcooke, is it with gdm you rebuilt to change the theme or from the archive?08:01
willcooke(related note - are we going to move vtys to 7 & 8?)08:01
didrockswillcooke: we didn't came to any decision (even didn't discuss it AFAIK)08:02
willcookejibel, this is a plain gdm (with with some hacks for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/170341508:02
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1703415 in PulseAudio "Disable Bluetooth sink in GDM to allow A2DP in the user session" [Medium,Confirmed]08:02
didrockswillcooke: I'm quite puzzled if it's not a stale cache and such, will be easier if I can reproduce after my today's 3 dist-upgrade :p08:03
didrocks(hoping I can get the same behavior…)08:03
didrocksExec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu08:03
didrocksTryExec=gnome-shell08:03
didrocksthis is the ubuntu session ^08:03
didrocksExec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu08:04
didrocksTryExec=gnome-shell08:04
didrocksthis is the wayland session ^08:04
didrocksso, they both have the same conditions (TryExec)08:04
didrockscan't be a fallback due to a failing tryexec08:04
willcookedidrocks, if I stop gdm3 I still have my session running on vty2 - how do I stop that too?  Just log out?08:04
didrockswillcooke: yes, log out08:04
didrocksyou should stop account service daemon as well08:05

willcookeok, next topic:08:10
willcookehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+bug/170341508:10
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1703415 in PulseAudio "Disable Bluetooth sink in GDM to allow A2DP in the user session" [Medium,Confirmed]08:10
willcookej_bicha shared the debian way of doing it with me:08:11
willcookehttps://paste.debian.net/975780/08:11
willcookeThey are using postinst to copy the file, and mine was using rules.08:11
willcookeLine 25 of that diff08:11
willcookeIf that dir. doesn't exist, then it wont work afaict.08:12
willcookej_bicha suggested I talk to the debian dev who worked on it, but I haven't done yet.  Before I do, what do you think about that patch / concept - it means breaking BT audio in GDM for a11y users - but then unbreaking it for all users in the session itself08:13
didrocksI would follow and trust mbiebl's decision. Sounds like the breakage in GDM (which doesn't seem to be conditional for a11y users only, but everyone) to have it in the session sounds like a global win08:18
didrocksbut that's just IMHO08:18
seb128didrocks, willcooke, loginctl show-session <id> also gives the type, that can be handy and easier to get that the env if you have a non working session but can get to a vt08:23
seb128just as a fyi08:23
jbichagood morning08:34
seb128good "morning" jbicha08:34
jbichadidrocks: I tried apt source ubuntu-meta then ran ./update but it reports "No changes found"08:34
didrocksjbicha: interesting, I'll have a look later if you want08:36
jbichathanks08:37
jbichaactually, maybe there aren't any changes08:38
didrockscould be08:38
jbichathe nenw stuff did show up on http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.html08:38
jbicha*new08:38
jbichaand I guess we need the new lang pkgs promoted to main for them to end up on the Ubuntu iso08:59

didrocksibus-table-quick-classic09:18
didrocks?09:18
Laneyno WAIT, it's back09:20
didrocks?09:21
jibeldidrocks, do you have a vm with today's build and a french kbd layout?09:23
jibeldidrocks, when I press altgr it does an 'enter'09:24
didrocksjibel: no, but I can maybe start it (on yakkety -> zesty dist-upgrade though)09:24
didrockshum09:24
didrocksgnome-boxes is crashing09:24
didrocksprobably due to the dist-upgrade09:24
didrocksjbicha: so, please, enlight me on ibus-mozc and ibus-table-quick-classic as we are still using fcitx09:26
jbichadidrocks: ibus-table-quick-classic is the final line in language-support's data/pkg_depends09:26
didrocksjbicha: maybe we didn't update it when moving to fcitx09:27
didrocksso it should be the other way around09:27
didrocks(until we have a decision on fcitx vs ibus)09:27
jibeldidrocks, and up does print screen :/09:28
jbichaim:zh-hant:gnome-shell:ibus-table-quick-classic09:28
jibelwhat default session do we want for automatic login on a fresh installation?09:29
jibelubuntu on X ?09:29
jbichaso it was only installed if a person had gnome-shell installed09:29
didrocksjbicha: yeah, because you didn't move to fcitx I guess09:29
didrocksjbicha: ubuntu on X, correct09:29
didrocksoupss jibel ^09:30
didrocksjbicha: so, I guess those should be either reverted or we need to have the fcitx/ibus discussion quickly09:30
jbichaI'm always uncomfortable making those input method decisions since I don't use them09:38
didrockssame09:38
didrocksthat's why I would say, let's stick with what we have until it's really discuss09:38
didrocksdiscussed*09:38
didrocksand make a card to align language-selector with the seed once the decision is made?09:38
willcookehumm, getting a strange abort when trying to apt install stuff.09:40
willcookeGoogle says its because apt cant read from std in09:40
willcookewayland issue?09:40
willcookeusing "-y" works09:41
didrocksjbicha: ok, most (apart from ibus stuff) are done. I'll wait for a publisher cycle before looking at them again (I may have missed some, the list was long, some were binary only, other sources only, we are not protected against a typo ;))09:43
jbichaand I dropped those 2 from ubuntu.artful for now09:43
didrocksexcellent!09:43
jibeldidrocks, the waird input behaviour with VMs seems like another wayland bug09:44
jibelweird09:44
didrocksjbicha: mind making a trello card or adding to the fcitx one?09:44
didrocksjibel: "nice" :/ which VMs are you using?09:44
didrocksgnome-boxes worked fine for me until recently (but I hope I can blame the current crash on dist-upgrading in progress)09:44
jibeldidrocks, qemu09:45
didrockswith kvm accell, I guess?09:46
jibeldidrocks, yes09:46
didrocksregressed today?09:46
didrocksor just transient bug/you didn't spot it because of non wayland?09:47
jbichanote added to fcitx card09:47
didrocksthanks!09:47
didrocksjbicha: do you want me to ping you to refresh ubuntu-meta once all promotions/demotions are visible?09:48
didrocks(I can do it otherwise)09:49
jibeldidrocks, not sure, I usually don't use wayland, it was for verifying something I saw on another machine09:52
jibeldidrocks, re 'default session on autologin' the session is Ubuntu but with wayland not X09:54
jibelsounds like the same bug than willcooke discussed earlier09:54
didrocksinteresting09:54
didrockssounds like this happens only from the gdm switch09:54
didrocksbut not your hw, correct?09:55
didrocksah, autologin09:55
didrocksdid willcooke mentioned autologin as well?09:55
willcookeno09:55
willcookethis problem was on a machine I installed yesterday from yesterday's daily iso09:55
jibeldidrocks, no it was not autologin but a fresh installation09:56
didrocksbut jibel didn't get it on real hw, I bet this is something related with gdm09:56
didrocksif the issue was:09:56
didrocks- default selected session is ubuntu-wayland09:56
didrocks- then, switch in gdm to "ubuntu" and it's ubuntu on X09:57
didrocksthen yeah, the issue is that without any config, gdm selects ubuntu-wayland (as we saw on the iso)09:57
didrocksbut here, willcooke was selecting the "ubuntu" session and ended up with ubuntu-wayland09:57
willcookejust spotted another, unrelated, issue.  On Wayland the icons down the left of the dash are a lot smaller than on X09:58
willcookeoh09:59
willcookesuddenly they're not09:59
willcookemeh, ignore09:59
didrocksthis gives very low confidence… :p09:59
jbichaI think we don't need an ubuntu-meta update10:00
willcookedurr.  I r dumb.  They shrink when you have more things open.  Ignore me.10:00
didrocksfew10:01
didrocksphew*10:01
didrocksso yeah, we would need to set DefaultSession in ubiquity anyway, as the gdm code seems to favor the wayland session if available by default10:02
didrockson first log in10:02
didrocks(that doesn't explain willcooke's "I select ubuntu and it's ubuntu-wayland")10:03
didrocksbut contrary to lightdm which uses alphabetical order, gdm seems to favor wayland sessions10:03
didrocksseems like that should have been tested in the gdm transition :p10:04
didrocksLaney: I can handle this later this week, apart if kenvandine wants to finish his transition's work with this, as you both prefer :)10:04
Laneywhat's the problem?10:04
didrocksbasically, if you don't set a default session, gdm will favor the wayland ones10:04
didrocks(lightdm was going alphabetically)10:04
didrocksso you need to explicitely set your default session in ubiquity10:05
Laneyisn't that how it is supposed to work?10:05
jibeldidrocks, on autologin the session selected is ubuntu but of type wayland (output of loginctl) is it what you call ubuntu-wayland?10:05
didrocksyes, once we +1 on having wayland by default10:05
didrockswhich isn't what we decided yet10:05
didrocksjibel: yes10:05
jibelok10:06
Laneywell that's how it is in GDM by default10:06
Laneyso the change is actually a decision to go back to X10:06
didrocksLaney: right, hence the fact we should set "ubuntu" as default session10:06
didrocksas right now, we are unsure about X vs wayland10:06
didrocksand we spotted quite some issues with wayland anyway10:07
didrocks(which forced us to set X unconditionnally on live)10:07
didrocksjibel: you meant "ubuntu on wayland" is the selected label, correct?10:08
didrocksurgh, was dicsonnected10:16
didrocksjibel: do you have your testing box handy? like can you do something before first login?10:16
didrocksedit /etc/gdm3/custom.conf and uncomment WaylandEnable=false10:17
didrocksI want to know:10:17
didrocks1. which default session is then selected10:17
didrocks2. if ubuntu (using wayland) is available on your login screen10:17
didrocks3. if you select ubuntu (using wayland), if wayland is really selected10:17
didrocks(I wonder if that switch doesn't disable autodetection as well, as it worked on the live)10:18
Laneyoh right10:19
Laneyso it prefers /usr/share/wayland-sessions/...10:19
didrocksyep10:19
didrockswe discovered that on the live10:20
didrocksubiquity is crashing under wayland (and apport)10:20
didrocksI added some hooks in casper to force non wayland default session10:20
Laneydidrocks: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/tree/daemon/gdm-session.c#n363 <- append instead of prepend?10:22
didrocksLaney: yeah, if we can do that with a settings though and not distro-patching, let's try it10:23
didrocksI think the "ignore_wayland" may be the options I talked about above ^10:24
Laneydoesn't that hide all the sessions though?10:24
didrocksLaney: doesn't seem from a quick test I made10:24
didrocksjust want jibel to confirm10:24
Laneyhttps://git.gnome.org/browse/gdm/tree/daemon/gdm-session.c#n36110:25
didrocksit just append them10:25
didrocks(it's just a runtime settings, not a #ifdef compilation option)10:25
LaneyI know, that's line 36110:26
Laney362 is the compile time thing10:26
didrockshowever, as I'm dist(upgrading, I just tried to stop gdm, change the setting and start it10:26
didrocksso I can't confirm I'm sure at 100%10:26
didrockslet's wait for jean-baptiste's test for now10:26
Laneyalthough this is set in only this case10:27
Laney        g_object_set (G_OBJECT (session), "ignore-wayland", !greeter_is_wayland, NULL);10:27
didrocksyeah, seems so10:27
* didrocks really needs to take a lunch break, bbl10:27
Laneyhf!10:27

dufluNevermind10:31
* duflu prepares dinner10:31
willcookeduflu, yeah10:31
dufluAlright. That's a good boundary to call it a day10:32
dufluor night10:32
jibeldidrocks, trying now11:21
jibeldidrocks, I've name ubuntu, type x11. Trying on a fresh install now11:55
didrocksjibel: do you have access to the ubuntu on wayland session?11:55
jibeldidrocks, no I trashed it. I'll redo it after current install if you want11:57
didrocksyes please :)11:58
didrocksthat will confirm we can turn that switch on if the session is available11:58
jibelyay another GS crash ...12:03
jibeldidrocks, with WaylandEnabled set to false I get an x11 session12:11
jibeland autologin enabled12:11
jibelredoing an install without this change12:11
didrocksjibel: but do you see the wayland session available in gdm?12:12
jibeldidrocks, with autologin I didn't see gdm :) let me logout12:12
jibeldidrocks, weird, in gdm I don't see the cog to select the session12:14
didrocksI guess that means only one session is available12:15
jibelI'll disable autologin and reboot just to check12:15
jibeldidrocks, same after a reboot, there is no option to select a session12:17
jibeland autologin disabled12:18
jibeldidrocks, do you still need to reproduce previous scenario (default install and ubuntu-wayland) ?12:18
didrocksjibel: no, that was what I wanted to know, thanks for looking!12:19
didrockswe'll need to patch gdm to prefer non wayland to wayland thus12:19
didrockswill do that tomorrow12:19
jibeldidrocks, do you have a bug # already otherwise I'll file one12:20
didrocksjibel: I don't, please do it and assign it to me12:20
willcookebigon, hi!  jbicha pointed me your way to talk about the gdm/pulseaudio issues with it locking A2DP.  I got this (reverse) diff: https://paste.debian.net/975780/ and I can see that you're copying the file in postinst.  Line 25 in the diff copies the file, but I can't see where that directory is created.  I have a similar diff for Ubuntu which uses rules to copy the file.12:23
willcookeso a couple of questions:  any idea when/if that will land in debian & is that a bug regarding the creation of the /var/lib/gdm3/.config/pulse dir?12:24

seb128didrocks, hey15:40
didrocks* Clean a big part of the seeds. Did some analyses with seb on some of them. Lot of demotions (more than 70 packages). indicator-, touch-*, unity-*.15:40
didrocks* Still some to ongoing investigation to remove other parts of the stack (like zeitgeist, ubuntu-app-launcher, qt…). The biggest one pulling packages now is fcitx. We need to discuss about that one. We still have some, like dee, libunity, indicator-application (due to its libs), indicator-messages (due to its libs).15:40
didrocks* Split into separate packages for optional dependencies, like deja-dup and unity-control-center panel to be able to keep the functionality (pulled now in only in the unity session) the unity, but without having the dependencies in the main iso in our gnome-shell session.15:40
didrocks* Did some ubiquity debugging (was wrongly accused! :p) which in fact revealed that the gdm transition was defaulting to wayland, and ubiquity is crashing under it. We wanted to force X for now anyway, so patched casper for this.15:40
didrocks* language discussion, change the seeds for -frami german dictionary variant to align with language-selector. Reviewed MP.15:40
didrocks* Main promotion and test lightm -> gdm transitions + debug some postinst issue.15:40
didrocks* Look at existing gtk golang bindings. Found one which is still actively developed, quite feature complete on gtk, glib, gio, updated up to gtk 3.2415:40
didrocks* Discussed keeping unity7 session somewhat functional and impacts on code, migrations…15:40
didrocks* discussion on snapcraft forum on interface UI15:40

seb128      . Narrowed down to clutter, confirming the same problem with gst-launch-1.0 chains.15:42
seb128      . Will fix this one soon as a priority.15:42
seb128  - Also lost a day and part of the weekend investigating graphics corruption in mpv+vaapi: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/455515:42
seb128  - Fun fact: Modern Intel Atom chips (Cherry Trail, Apollo Lake) and cheap notebook chips (Braswell) can play 4K H.265 without breaking a sweat. Even on a 2-watt CPU. Unfortunately they usually come with low quality screens and never HDMI 2.0...15:42
