| jbicha | jamesh: if I set [connectivity] enabled=false in /etc/ or /usr/lib/ , I can't use gnome-control-center to override that :( | 00:05 |
|---|---|---|
| jamesh | jbicha: yeah. The enabled key is only meant to be set from the -intern.conf file | 01:05 |
| jamesh | jbicha: I was originally setting interval=0 to disable checking, and upstream asked me to change it to a separate key (so that a distro patch that changed the connectivity check settings wouldn't interfere) | 01:06 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: fyi, I made this PR: https://github.com/snapcore/snapd-glib/pull/14 | 04:28 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: not sure if it is worth merging until there is agreement that the matching snapd change is okay though | 04:29 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, ah yes. I saw it last week and forgot about it. | 04:29 |
| robert_ancell | Yeah, I think land it once it's in use upstream. | 04:29 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: you were on holiday. Not a problem :) | 04:29 |
| robert_ancell | I was wondering if there's any naming convention with other libs? | 04:29 |
| jamesh | I'm not sure if anyone else is doing polkit authoirsation for HTTP over local sockets | 04:30 |
| robert_ancell | probably not :) | 04:30 |
| robert_ancell | I guess they just have a D-Bus arg for interaction if needed | 04:31 |
| jamesh | CUPS is probably the only one where it makes sense, and I don't think they do polkit at all | 04:31 |
| jamesh | For D-Bus, they defined a message flag for it: https://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-messages | 04:32 |
| jamesh | no need for a message argument | 04:33 |
| robert_ancell | huh | 04:36 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, could you rebase the branch? | 04:36 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: sure. | 04:55 |
| robert_ancell | jamesh, if you wanted to split out the 'last_request_headers' change in mock-snapd.c we could land that now | 05:17 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: I guess it depends on how quick the snapd folks look at my other PRs | 05:20 |
| jamesh | mvo was interested in fast tracking them for 2.28, and if that happens it shouldn't matter much | 05:21 |
| jamesh | also, it's just a test cleanup | 05:21 |

| c-lobrano | Hi all | 07:59 |
| c-lobrano | Trevinho, Laney I pushed in review the fix for bug 1712996 | 07:59 |
| ubot5 | bug 1712996 in ubuntu-themes (Ubuntu) "Misaligned Entry borders in horizontally linked Box" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1712996 | 07:59 |
| Trevinho | c-lobrano: thanks | 07:59 |
| Mirv | as an user I find it still confusing why Ubuntu offers my to disable secure boot so often | 07:59 |
| Mirv | but I guess it's on all machines that have any dkms, so that includes Dell OEM machines | 08:00 |
| Mirv | but then again it doesn't seem to detect if there's any problem keeping secure boot enabled or not | 08:00 |
| Mirv | and for me eg Virtualbox works fine too with secure boot enabled, which I thought might be a problem given it's external module | 08:00 |
| Mirv | (this is on 16.04) | 08:01 |
| Mirv | does anyone have any thoughts on what could be improved? I've thought about it, but then again I feel I don't understand the whole and don't know how eg the texts could be clearer for average user. | 08:02 |

| Trevinho | c-lobrano: ok, fair enough.... | 08:09 |

| Trevinho | but, I actually work better when under stress :-D | 08:13 |

| seb128 | Trevinho, and nothing is as stressful as working from a swimming pool where your laptop, call fall into water, right? ;-) | 08:14 |

| ricotz | oSoMoN, hi, I guess this would do it https://paste.debian.net/plain/983346 | 09:36 |
| oSoMoN | ricotz, that’s exactly what I was looking into | 09:49 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, better let this go in with 5.4.1 | 10:04 |
| oSoMoN | same branch anyway | 10:05 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, this fix should appear in debian repo shortly too | 10:05 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, :( | 10:36 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, I assumed you understood to wait for a complete fix | 10:39 |
| oSoMoN | ricotz, how is that not a complete fix? | 10:51 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, like the missing Conflicts/Replaces | 10:53 |
| oSoMoN | true, I'll wait for the complete fix in the debian repo and will merge it back (if you don't beat me to it, which you most probably will) | 10:58 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, btw, did you already wrote that patch before I pasted it? | 11:07 |
| oSoMoN | ricotz, I was double-checking it when I saw your paste, but I saw highlight on IRC late, so can't say who wrote it first, probably you ;) | 11:10 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, I see, makes it a bit more questionable that you already pushed it, so try to get an opinion on changes before pushing them | 11:14 |
| oSoMoN | ricotz, well I would have asked had you not suggested an identical patch | 11:21 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, okay | 11:29 |
| christoph | hi, does anyone know a tool to emulate android apps and check outgoing traffic ? | 12:50 |

| jbicha | kenvandine: here's a basic patch to disable alarms in gnome-clocks https://paste.debian.net/983376/ | 13:41 |
| jbicha | the first line of the help still says "Use Clocks as a stopwatch, a timer, to set alarms and to check the time in different cities." | 13:42 |
| jbicha | changing that string breaks translations. I guess we could just remove that intro line though… | 13:43 |
| kenvandine | jbicha, i was thinking more of using a define somewhere | 13:44 |
| kenvandine | WITH_ALARMS kind of thing | 13:45 |
| kenvandine | something that could go upstream | 13:45 |
| jbicha | ok, maybe | 13:46 |
| kenvandine | should be useful for others too, the lack of reliable alarms isn't ubuntu specific | 13:47 |
| kenvandine | i wonder if there are plans for a background service for that | 13:47 |
| jbicha | I think systemd timers is the way to go for that | 13:47 |
| kenvandine | yeah | 13:48 |
| kenvandine | but i think systemd would need a user daemon to interact with it | 13:48 |
| kenvandine | i guess it would just trigger opening the UI | 13:48 |
| kenvandine | to dismiss the alarm, etc | 13:48 |
| gQuigs | my initial expectation would be the alarms should work even if I'm not logged in, not sure how easy that would be.... - and especially still work if screen is locked | 13:49 |
| kenvandine | that would require gdm support | 13:50 |
| kenvandine | oh, and wake the computer when asleep | 13:51 |
| kenvandine | there's a bug for that | 13:51 |
| kenvandine | not sure how i feel about that | 13:51 |
| kenvandine | i'd hate my laptop to wake up while in my backpack | 13:51 |
| gQuigs | yea, I can see why that's complicated now.. | 13:52 |
| seb128 | I don't think laptop users expect their laptop to wake up for reminders | 13:57 |
| seb128 | it's not a phone | 13:57 |
| kenvandine | yeah | 13:58 |
| kenvandine | but i can imagine a college student trying to use this as their alarm | 13:58 |
| kenvandine | anyway, the UI should make it obvious that it won't wake | 13:58 |
| kenvandine | it's a complicated problem :) | 13:59 |
| seb128 | is any other computer OS doing the "wake up computer on reminders"? | 13:59 |
| seb128 | but yeah it's complicated | 14:01 |
| seb128 | I think displaying a dialog in an unlocked session would be good enough to ship it | 14:02 |
| jbicha | maybe: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-desktop/with-windows-10-when-in-sleep-mode-will-the-alarm/c1f38df1-d9e2-43f0-8149-89c18191de96 | 14:02 |
| seb128 | jbicha, right, some modern configs have that, but I don't think it would work on any system | 14:03 |
| jbicha | that's almost worse than not supporting it at all: it might work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | 14:03 |
| kenvandine | indeed | 14:03 |
| seb128 | right | 14:03 |

| oSoMoN | ricotz, you didn't cherry-pick https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git/commit/?h=debian-experimental-5.4&id=e484318397ae407b418a55955c64104324a85e10 in your wip branch, is that intentional? | 15:13 |
| seb128 | andyrock, try asking on #gnome-hackers, we are low on GTK hackers around, especially with u.k off today | 15:18 |
| c-lobrano | Trevinho: I was looking again at bug 1700100 to make the fix available everywhere, however the color change is applicable only to labels inside a box with "boxes-menu-row" class, which exists only in GNOME Boxes (I guess) and I don't think it'd be ok to add it in gtk-widgets.css. Any idea? | 15:29 |

| oSoMoN | ricotz, yeah stupid question, I was going over the list of commits and didn't really look into the implications of that one :) | 15:44 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, let me know if *I* can push those things, don't merge/push that branch yourself | 15:45 |
| oSoMoN | ricotz, yeah it's fine | 15:45 |
| oSoMoN | ricotz, I suppose we want that one: https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-openoffice/libreoffice.git/commit/?h=debian-experimental-5.4&id=bcd1bc95a08c80cc20e3795bf789fadadb6eb370 | 15:47 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, no | 15:47 |
| ricotz | coinmp is not enabled anyway | 15:48 |
| ricotz | oSoMoN, since this is only about cherry-picking, there is no need to pick things without effect | 15:49 |
| ricotz | this will be picked up with a merge in preparation for 6.0 | 15:50 |
| oSoMoN | ok | 15:55 |

| ricotz | oSoMoN, rebased and pushed my wip branch | 16:25 |
| kenvandine | jbicha, the help page is an issue | 16:25 |
| kenvandine | they help text could just be changed to add "if supported" somewhere | 16:26 |
| kenvandine | but that isn't great either | 16:26 |
| kenvandine | ugh... my gedit snap that hasn't been touched in ages no longer starts... "Bad system call" | 16:27 |

| mcphail | robert_ancell: Hi. popey and sil suggested I ping you about an issue with Ubuntu Software. Are you awake? | 22:32 |
| robert_ancell | mcphail, sure am | 22:33 |
| popey | :) | 22:33 |
| mcphail | robert_ancell: cool :) - Let me link a screenshot... | 22:33 |
| mcphail | https://ovh.themcphails.uk/index.php/s/0pcBDXU0zztzS6a | 22:34 |
| mcphail | This is a deb created with game-data-packager. It is about 2.9 GB, rather than 18 exabytes... | 22:34 |
| mcphail | http://termbin.com/32q7 | 22:34 |
| robert_ancell | huh | 22:34 |
| mcphail | It is proprietary stuff, and too large to upload and attach to a bug report. Any idea what the issue may be? | 22:35 |
| robert_ancell | mcphail, is this done by double clicking on the .deb? | 22:35 |
| mcphail | robert_ancell: yes | 22:35 |
| robert_ancell | mcphail, which Ubuntu release / gnome-software version? | 22:35 |
| mcphail | Ubuntu 16.04. Let me check gnome-sofyware version... | 22:36 |
| robert_ancell | I'm guessing there might be an overflow. I can probably reproduce by hacking a .deb with metadata that matches that one | 22:36 |
| popey | You don't have a Quake4 DVD lying around? shame.. :) | 22:36 |
| mcphail | gnome-software 3.20.5 | 22:36 |
| mcphail | I can pop a DVD in the post :) | 22:37 |
| robert_ancell | mcphail, can you file a bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+filebug with that info and I'll see if I can reproduce. | 22:38 |
| mcphail | The deb behaves fine, btw, when installed by dpkg -i | 22:38 |
| robert_ancell | Probably don't want to send me a DVD or I'll end up playing Quake 4 :) | 22:38 |
| popey | mcphail: does gdebi show the right size? (does gdebi show any size at all?) | 22:38 |
| mcphail | popey: yes, gdebi shows the correct size | 22:42 |
| robert_ancell | bonus points if you can try it in artful - it uses a different method for accessing .debs | 22:45 |
| mcphail | robert_ancell: I can give it a shot, but I won't get a chance to install artful for a few days I'm afraid | 22:49 |
| robert_ancell | mcphail, ok, don't worry about it, I'll reproduce here if I can | 22:50 |
