ricotzseb128, hi, https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+sourcepub/8140681/+listing-archive-extra07:28
seb128hey ricotz, how are you?07:29
seb128ricotz, thanks, I'm having a look to that one today07:29
ricotzseb128, I am good :), and you?07:30
seb128I'm good thanks07:30
ricotzthis is probably interesting too https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+sourcepub/7961953/+listing-archive-extra07:31
seb128ricotz, you should open a sponsoring bug for the aptitude debdiff07:34
seb128duflu, was your battery icon tweaks that landed to ubuntu-themes supposed to be enough to make it look good? it somewhat still looks compressed/not nice in current artful07:44
dufluseb128, otop07:45
dufluotp07:45
seb128no hurry07:45
seb128d_idrocks would like to use the upstream icon instead, but yeah, then issue in unity as you pointed out on the bug07:45
dufluseb128, yeah my new icons are actually much better than it was (blurry). And it's only condensed for low-DPI screens. 1080p and above you get the old-style long battery. Because gnome-shell only picks 16px icons in low DPI07:49
dufluSorry, correction: It's only condensed for scale 1.0. For higher scales you will get the old longer battery07:51
didrocksit's quite disturbing on scale 1.007:52
dufludidrocks, it was much worse before :)07:52
didrocksI don't know if for status icon we should just go with adwaita07:52
didrocksand having per session overrides07:52
seb128bah, what's going on with my internet today07:52
didrocks(so, unity will use unity)07:53
didrocksor07:53
seb128duflu, so http://picpaste.com/battery-GQgpUM6v.png is how it's supposed to look or is that still buggy?07:53
dufludidrocks, adwaita's looks fine but will break Unity7 (varies between the adwaita one and ubuntu)07:53
didrockswe can fix it for scale=107:53
didrocksduflu: yeah, hence per-session override07:53
didrockshum, annoying for unity-greeter though…07:53
seb128if we care only about unity we could rename battery icons to append -unity07:53
seb128and change indicator-power to use that name07:54
seb128both greeter and session use the indicator07:54
didrocksthe issue is if other desktop are using -mono07:54
seb128right, I wrote "if we care only about unity"07:54
seb128do we know of other desktop using -mono?07:54
dufluWell, authoring 39 battery icons took some effort but if you can make it work then go nuts07:54
didrocksduflu: what's the real fix without impacting unity?07:55
didrocksnot really sure I got everything from the bug report, apart that "we need to make them square and not lying on size"07:55
didrocks(which would impact unity, correct?)07:55
dufludidrocks, what we have is the real fix that works with unity. The other real fix is to modify unity to load its own different names07:55
didrocksah07:55
didrocksso, it's not only authoring07:55
dufludidrocks, no more icon design required. It would be *deleting* symlinks and modifying Unity code07:56
duflu... then Gnome Shell would just use upstream-everything, and Unity would avoid accidentally loading Adwaita icons07:58

seb128hey chrisccoulson, happy friday! how are you?08:34
chrisccoulsonseb128, I'm not too bad thanks - just eating some bacon. How about you?08:34

oSoMoNchrisccoulson, sure, I wasn't expecting a Friday publication :)08:48
oSoMoNbacon, yummy!08:49
dufludidrocks, another idea: Modify gnome-shell to accept non-square icons like our old ones09:19
dufluAnd to not constrain them to squares09:19
dufluI think Marco favoured that09:20
tsimonq2o/09:22
seb128re, sorry restarted session a few times09:22
seb128hey tsimonq209:23
tsimonq2This is a fairly visible bug that the desktop team should be aware of that I have prepared a fix for and tested: bug 113347709:23
ubot5bug 1133477 in gvfs (Ubuntu) "[SRU] cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/113347709:23
tsimonq2Just needs a Core Developer to upload09:23
tsimonq2I've been working with the Ubuntu MATE folks as Caja is affected by this as well.09:24
tsimonq2It has complete SRU documentation and a debdiff attached to the bug report. I would upload it if I had the permissions. ;)09:25
tsimonq2(maybe it's in the Desktop Team packageset, I don't know, but at minimum it's in main)09:26
tsimonq2Any suggestions or help would certainly be appreciated :)09:27
didrocksduflu: yeah, I don't know how much this is involved though09:27
didrocksduflu: but knowing that it's already loading mostly icons from adwaita, maybe just having indicator-power loading unity-* icons09:28
didrocksthat's the less intrusive09:28
dufludidrocks, fair enough. I am drifting toward organizing dinner so would like to stop pondering the problem anyway09:28
didrocksduflu: enjoy your dinner :)09:28
seb128tsimonq2, get a sponsoring bug in the queue, I can try to have a look if nobody beats me to it but it's probably not doing to be today09:29
seb128duflu, have a nice dinner and a good w.e!09:29
tsimonq2seb128: Should be in the queue next time it updates09:29
tsimonq2seb128: I can ask my usual Core Developer sponsor to upload it for me, but regardless I'd just like to make the Desktop Team aware ;)09:30
dufluseb128, thanks, but I'm not there yet09:31
tsimonq2seb128: LocutusOfBorg uploaded it for me ;)10:19
seb128tsimonq2, great :-)10:20
seb128you guys start being active desktopers!10:20
tsimonq2seb128: ;)10:20
tsimonq2seb128: I just wish I had archive upload access so I didn't have to poke people... although I will apply for MOTU on August 14th :D10:21
seb128tsimonq2, right, keep going like that and you should get it without issue10:21
tsimonq2seb128: The hardest part about that bug was filling out the SRU docs tbh, but look at how thorough I tried to be to minimize any questions later ;)10:22
tsimonq2I think that's the most thorough I've ever been on a bug report... although it's like a 700 line diff :P10:24
tsimonq2seb128: But I might just stick around in this channel so if I need to collab with the desktop team at all or vice versa, we can do so10:26
seb128tsimonq2, great, it's always good to have more people around and involved :-)10:57

gQuigspreviously I could just do a bzr pull request to get metapackages like https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-restricted-addons changes.. they don't have any recent commit activity..  do I just want to do a normal debdiff?13:22
jbichagQuigs: that branch is from Ubuntu Distributed Development which stopped working a while ago. Yes13:24
gQuigsjbicha: moved to git?  or just do a debdiff?13:25

seb128andyrock, great14:15
seb128didrocks, did you know of cases where picking "ubuntu on wayland" gives an xorg session? seems to happen when I tried to log with my test user atm, dunno if that's because there is already a session open or if something with the test user14:25
didrocksseb128: I don't really know, you gave a reproduceable testcase, correct?14:27
didrocksso, I was waiting to have some cycles working on this, but first, switching to wayland by default14:27
seb128well I can't login into wayland with that second user and will had a similar issue14:27
seb128the ubuntu on wayland gives an xorg session14:27
didrockswe could have the list unsync due to our patch14:27
seb128I guess that needs debugging14:27
seb128I mentioned it in case you know about it being a known issue14:27
didrocksI didn't see it, but someone else mentioned it on the channel14:28
jbichasome folks on the forum were talking about the opposite problem: getting a Wayland session when they picked 'Ubuntu'14:28
seb128any variable that would be useful to print?14:28
didrocksso yeah, I think it's a real bug14:28
didrocksseb128: all gdm logs14:28
didrockswith debug enabled14:28
seb128k14:28
seb128I'm going to open a bug14:28
seb128(but in a call atm)14:28
didrocksbut TBH, let's wait to revert this patch for session ordering14:28
didrocksyou did open one already14:28
didrocksand assigned it to me14:28
didrocksbut the goal is to have: wayland by default, then, let's see if the issue is that the gdm list is at 2 places14:29
jbichabtw, we still plan to have X by default for the live session for now, right? I'm thinking of gparted14:31
didrocksyeah14:34
didrocksapart if we have the time to work on it14:34
didrocks(sudo apps running on wayland)14:34
jbichathere is a workaround for pkexec, but I think there is justifiable hesitancy in applying itt: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/76353114:35
ubot5Gnome bug 763531 in overview "pkexec in .desktop no longer works" [Critical,Reopened]14:35
seb128didrocks, I did open one? forgot about it :-(14:36
seb128didrocks, but yeah waiting is fine no worry14:36
didrocksseb128: no worry ;) yeah, I didn't tell you I was waiting on the switch once the decision was taken14:36
didrocksseb128: my big guess again is that the 2 lists are unsynced somewhere in gdm code14:37
didrocksjbicha: indeed, I read about that one, we'll see how it goes, but for now X on live is a working solution14:38
didrocks(IMHO)14:38
=== ogra_ is now known as ogra
ograseb128, might be faster to discuss this on IRC and then dump a summary into the forum ... doesnt the wayland session have any mechanism to set global env vars that we could use with snapd ?15:15
ogra(i.e. how is the non-modified XDG_DATA_DIRS set in a wayland session today)15:16
jbichaI guess Flatpak had a similar problem: https://github.com/alexlarsson/xdg-app/issues/14715:20
ograjbicha, well, i guess everyone will have such a problem ... how are distributors supposed to set defaults for wayland sessions ... there must be some mechanism15:22
jbichaand https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73666015:22
ubot5Gnome bug 736660 in gnome-session "wayland session does not process .bash_profile" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]15:22
ogra(like a distributor can enhance gsettings defaults etc)15:22
ograit should not process bash_profile for sure15:22
ograthat is for shells15:23
ograbut it should have a mechanism to adjust and enhance defaults that a distributor or even a developer of a GUI related service can use15:23
ogra(snapd would fall under the latter ... ubuntu in general would fall under the former)15:24
jbichaI don't really know, I was just pointing to a few things from gnome-session's commit log15:24
ograyeah15:24
ograusing profile.d or bash_profile for such stuff is just wrong though ...15:24
ograi could imagine logind having such a mechanism15:25
seb128ogra, it's the new world, systemd/wayland/... those claiming that shell scripts are hack and that it's time to do without them15:25
ograit needs to be something session wide and dedicated to wayland15:25
seb128until they need some env15:25
seb128and somebody adds back similar hacks :p15:25
ograseb128, well, thats what i'm saying ...15:26
seb128ogra, we are not going to sort that out today and meanwhile snaps are not working15:26
ograseb128, i dont want to have to manage GUI stuff via profile.d or bash_profile or whatnot15:26
seb128ogra, so let's merge that small script and then we can work on a better solution if you want15:26
ograbut that small script only sets it for login shells15:26
ogradoes wayland process profile.d ?15:27
ogra(or the session manager wayland uses rather)15:27
seb128ogra, gnome-session does I think15:28
ograthats so wrong :P15:28
ograbut well, if it does, then yes, lets get it landed15:29
seb128ogra, I guess we should use https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/environment.d.html15:30
ografor gdm then ? or for whastever fires up systemd --user ?15:31
ograseb128, find a second approver for https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/3398 ... then it can be merged15:33
Laneyenvironment.d is probably a good idea15:35
seb128hey Laney, how are you? having fun in french-speaking-land? ;-)15:37
Laneyoh hey seb12815:37
Laneyit's more french than I thought it would be15:37
LaneyI thought it would be like people speak english but they have french/english signs and stuff15:38
jbichamore French than France?15:38
Laneybut NOPE they actually speak french all the time15:38
Laneywhat a place to be15:38
Laneywell they have great bagels, so that's a +1 on france already :-)15:38
ograis there anyone in that country anyway ? i though they are all send on vacation15:39
