oSoMoNgood morning flexiondotorg07:36
oSoMoNflexiondotorg, you might want to try "snap install --beta chromium"07:36
flexiondotorgAlready doing it :-)07:37
oSoMoN:)07:37
didrockshey flexiondotorg07:38
flexiondotorgoSoMoN Do you want to post a call for testing for that in forum.snapcraft.io?07:40
flexiondotorgI could, but I don't want to steal your thunder :-)07:41
flexiondotorgdidrocks o/07:41
oSoMoNflexiondotorg, yes, I’ll do that07:41
flexiondotorgExcellent.07:41
flexiondotorgThis looks very solid.07:41
flexiondotorgI'll use it as my main browser today :-)07:41
* oSoMoN expects a slew of bug reports by the end of the day07:42
flexiondotorgoSoMoN Well, let's see :-)07:43

tsimonq2Hey hey flexiondotorg :D07:44
flexiondotorgoSoMoN Looks like tht will land soon thankfully.07:46
oSoMoNyes07:46
didrocksflexiondotorg: I guess that makes sense, just a small nitpick :)07:56
flexiondotorgdidrocks Sorry, I didn't make that clear. I have tested Unity and GNOME.07:58
flexiondotorgdidrocks I've update the opening comment.07:59
willcookeahoy08:01
Laneymoin08:02
tsimonq2ahoy willcooke and Laney :D08:02
flexiondotorgwillcooke Laney o/08:03
flexiondotorgdidrocks I think that double (( is required.08:04
didrocksflexiondotorg: hum, you have ((! something ))08:04
didrockshey willcooke, Laney08:04
flexiondotorgOtherwise the `if` that results from the macro won't work.08:05
didrocksflexiondotorg: ah ok, thanks for testing in Unity as well, I thought you only tested seeded packages :)08:05
didrockshum, let me relook08:05
didrocksflexiondotorg: ahhhhhhhhh08:05
didrocksdiffrealfail :)08:05
didrocksread*08:06

flexiondotorgThank you!08:06

Laneyhey tsimonq2 flexiondotorg didrocks08:17
Laneyhey seb128, you good?08:17
Laneygot back ok?08:17
seb128I'm good thanks!08:17
seb128yeah, arrived at 23h, train was easy08:17
seb128even got time for a beer with willcooke at the station before leaving08:17
didrocksLaney: welcome back!08:18
Laneynice08:20
Laneythanks didrocks08:20
Laneyseems you've been busy ;-)08:20
oSoMoNgood morning seb12808:20
seb128lut oSoMoN08:21
didrocksLaney: yeah, long days TBH08:22
Laneyyou love it08:22
didrocksLaney: like, the whole thing isn't possible to do such changes one a day, happy to have started last week, but shhhhh :)08:22
didrocksalso, the fact that Julie isn't back to work helped not taking the 15th, but I'll definitively swap it anyway :)08:23
didrockshow was debconf?08:23
Laneywhat is the 15th?08:23
didrocksTHE day off in France08:24
didrocksI guess due to celebrating 20 years of GNOME ofc :p08:25
Laneyyeah debconf was good, you should watch talk videos online08:29
didrocksI guess I'll, but probably after FF :)08:30
Laneythere was this "debian is too hard to change" thing going around08:30
didrockshum?08:30
Laneyabout responding to software changes08:30
Laneylike each language coming with its own package manager now and debian not having a good answer to that08:30
Laneyor also delivering apps in a different way08:31
didrocksahah, it's really the new sense of the wind :)08:31
seb128Laney, is there any buying from Debian in post-deb techs yet?08:33
seb128out of groups in Debian focussed on making those available I mean08:33
Laneythat's not the way that it would work08:36
Laneypeople would work on it, and then they would show what they have come up with08:36
Laneyand maybe then push for it to be available in some wider way08:37
Laneythere won't be some central development08:37
Laneybut smcv is working on some tools to make runtimes / flatpaks available from the archive, he gave a talk about that08:37
seb128sorry, let me rephrase, I forgot that you like to be picky on the wording of questions :-)08:40
seb128was there any attempt from smcv or other to push flatpak a bit forward08:40
seb128and if so what was the feeling/reaction around that push08:41
seb128if you got a feeling of what people who are not involved in the techs think08:41
Laneyhmm, wasn't trying to be picky but I probably do it without knowing08:42
Laneyit's done in a debianish way08:42
Laneypeople say "here is some code, look what it can do"08:42
seb128yeah, I know how Debian works thank :-)08:42
Laneyand then others are like "what about the DFSG / security / whatever""08:42
Laneyand it's like "yeah we need to think about that, let's go away and do that"08:43
seb128there is code around by now, I was wondering if it trigger some discussions yet08:43
Laney:(08:43
Laneynot trying to be argumentative08:43
Laneyso it's not like it's hated or anything but it's going to be tough to figure out the things that debian people value and how they work in a new world08:44
Laneylike if debian maintainers don't maintain everything, what does that mean?08:45
Laney& if things aren't reviewed by the ftp team08:45
Laneyor taking some things out of the normal release process and delivering them in a different way08:46
Laneycuts out all the processes there08:46
seb128right08:46
seb128lot of open questions08:46
seb128as we know since we have the same ones around here :-)08:46
Laneyya08:46
Laneyso it's at the stage of thinking about these things08:46
seb128cool08:47
seb128let's wait and see what comes next08:47
seb128thanks for the summary Laney!08:47
flexiondotorgMorning seb128. Interesting discussion :-)08:50
Laneyfun stuff08:51
seb128hey flexiondotorg08:58

popeydidrocks: nice blog post09:14
didrockspopey: thx!09:16
popeydidrocks: i have an audio question / bug :)09:18
popeydunno if it's part of what you're talking about landing09:19
didrockspopey: no, it's not because I touched that that I'm a pulseaudio expert, don't even try :)09:19
popeyhaha09:19
didrockspopey: kidding, what's about it?09:19
popeydammit09:19
popeyif i plug my laptop into an external tv, and set audio to go out that way, it all works as expected.09:19
popeyhowever, if i then yank the displayport cable out, display switches back to internal panel, but audio doesn't switch back to internal09:19
popeyso all audio is silent after pulling the cable out, it doesn't autoswitch back to internal sound card. I have to manually open sound control panel and click the internal card09:20
didrocksinteresting, I don't know if it's similar to another issue I have09:20
didrocksmine is autoswitch on new device discovery09:20
didrockswhich can be good…09:20
didrocksbut not when you have a server with avahi enabled09:20
popeyi can file a bug of course, and video it to show09:21
didrocksI want mostly to keep it local, and only switch to server when I ask for it09:21
didrockspopey: I guess file a bug, I should do the same for my case09:21
popeyagainst what? pulse?09:21
didrocksI would say pulse, yeah09:21
popeykk, will do09:21
didrockspopey: *if* I have time to look at my issue, (not before FF), I'll look at yours as well09:22
popeythanks09:22
seb128popey, when you have bugs it would be useful if you opened them upstream, they have more hackers than us and it increases the chance somebody can have a look09:27
popeyseb128: sure, both launchpad and upstream and linked? or only upstream?09:30
seb128launchpad as well if you can09:30
seb128we still want to know about it so we can work on it if upstream doesn't or we can backport a fix if they come with one09:31
muktupavelsdidrocks: why did you choose to use lowercase name for DesktopNames / XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP? It is not consistent with other names. Unity, GNOME-Classic, Budgie... ubuntu is now only dekstop name that is used lowercase there.09:38
seb128muktupavels, he went for exercice so I guess it's going to a bit before he replies09:44
Trevinhoseb128, Laney, I've troubles in building unity7 after the new gcc7 change as nux depends on libglewmx-dev but that conflicts with libglew-dev10:15
Trevinhoso I'm not sure what's going on there10:15
seb128Trevinho, I don't know offhand, glew didn't change since zesty10:24
popeyseb128: filed the bug but looks like it's known upstream and no timeline for a fix :( bug 171110110:24
ubot5bug 1711101 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Audio doesn't auto switch when unplugging hdmi" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/171110110:25
Trevinhoseb128: mh, I see there are not many changes, but for some reasons I can't build it...10:25
Trevinhonor lp10:25
seb128popey, thanks10:26
LaneyTrevinho: got a log?10:27
seb128popey, do you have a gnome bug that got closed? if so it might still worth mentioning it on the launchpad bug10:27
TrevinhoLaney: mh, now... well lp was failing somewhere else though, let me  check my situation10:28
popeyseb128: i linked the bug to the upstream freedesktop pulse bug already10:28
seb128right10:28
seb128I though you maybe opened a GNOME g-c-c bug10:28
seb128which got closed with a pointer to the pulseaudio one10:29
popeyoh i see, no10:29
seb128k, all good then10:29
popeyya10:29
seb128thanks10:29
kozawillcooke, duflu, funny, seems that zyga's headset triggers the same crash I have seen with Sony SBH52 and which someone else sees with Plantronics. damn those premium headsets ;-)10:37
seb128:-/10:40
kozahaving zyga and his headset next to me, Ill debug this one for a while today10:53
didrocksmuktupavels: the idea is that it's a properties, not a desktop name11:38
didrocksso both unity and the default ubuntu gnome session inherits it11:38
muktupavelsdidrocks: But ubuntu is desktop name, no?11:39
muktupavelsXDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Ubuntu:GNOME11:39
flexiondotorgdidrocks Could you click publish here please? https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/290211:41
oSoMoNseb128, do you think you’ll have time to look at libreoffice 5.4.0 this week?11:42
didrocksmuktupavels: it's in current desktop, but it's intended to be common properties with most ubuntu desktop, even flavor11:43
didrocksflexiondotorg: I don't even know where the publish button is11:44
didrocksah found it11:44
muktupavelsIs not ubuntu:GNOME meant to be same thing as GNOME-Classic:GNOME?11:47
muktupavelsubuntu is used to customize GNOME...11:48
didrocksmuktupavels: it's used to customize the unity session as well11:48
didrocksXDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=Unity:Unity7:ubuntu11:48
muktupavelsstill I think it should be Ubuntu...11:49
didrockslet's agree to disagree :) (andI don't think it's the end of the world ;))11:49
muktupavels:)11:50
seb128oSoMoN, yes, I started this morning11:59
oSoMoNexcellent, thanks!11:59
kozaseb128, found a fix for the crash I have been talking today during the BT sync; seems that you will have a chance to upload bluez once again this week :-)12:29
willcookekoza, \o/ well done!12:29
kozathis might be your fav task this summer I reckon ;-)12:29
seb128koza, I saw that, good finding!12:34
seb128haha12:34
seb128is it only me or that behaviour of firefox/tb showing their menu on alt is weird and confusing?12:48
seb128I keep triggering the menus on alt-tab12:48
seb128and it's not very discoverable but you need the menus to access to some actions12:48
jbichaseb128: it makes sense on Windows where other apps show their menus on Alt too12:50
jbichagood morning12:50
seb128windows does that12:50
seb128?12:50
seb128so non tech users who use a mouse never find the menus? ;-)12:51
jbichathey don't need all those extra options…12:52
seb128so remove the menu12:54
seb128if it's not needed12:54
jbichaxnox: the extra language support is defined in language-selector's data/pkg_depends … but we decided a while ago to install complete language support for the languages on the iso12:54
jbichaseb128: good luck pleasing "power users" like that ;)12:54
seb128jbicha, shrug, why do you always feel like arguing12:59
seb128just tell me it's me who gets annoyed but alt-tab doing a flickering of the ui12:59
seb128and we can move on12:59
jbichasorry13:00
jbichaalt-tab doesn't interact bad with firefox here13:00
seb128but->by13:00
seb128I think I sometime put my finger on alt to do an alt-tab13:01
seb128and decide against it so relax the key13:01
jbichayes that will do it13:01
seb128I find it quite disturbing13:02
seb128need to step out for an hour or so13:04
seb128bbl13:04
