RAOFWhat's the shiny new way to get gpg-agent handling ssh-agent duties and disabling gnome-keyring's ssh-agent?04:17
jbichaRAOF: the second part, disabling gnome-keyring's ssh handling should be as simple as unchecking it in gnome-sesion-properties04:34
jbichabut it looks like gnome-session-properties doesn't know how to handle our "ubuntu:GNOME" session, it sees OnlyShowIn-GNOME … etc and doesn't show since it's not exactly GNOME04:35
jbichagnome-session-properties is unique to Ubuntu; upstream dropped it years ago04:36

dufluGood morning Europe06:20
dufluWelcome to Eurovision06:20
dufluI mean, Monday06:20
didrockshey duflu06:21
dufluHey didrocks... that font issue is very hard to see. But I made a screenshot in the end06:21
dufluOh!06:23
dufludidrocks, run 'weston-info' and it reports 'subpixel_orientation: unknown', which is the same problem we had in Mir06:23
dufluHence it will default to greyscale06:23
dufluThe 'unknown' is coming from libdrm, which is coming from the kernel06:25
seb128good morning desktopers06:25
dufluHi seb12806:25
seb128hey duflu, how are you? had a good w.e?06:25
dufluYeah going OK. Weekend was too short to keep up with life in general. You?06:26
didrocksduflu: with the new theme (coming today), you will see it way more easily06:27
dufluCool06:27
dufluI think06:28
dufludidrocks, does weston-info report unknown for you too?06:28
dufluseb128, Yeah going OK. Weekend was too short to keep up with life in general. You?06:28
seb128w.e was good, nice weather, managed to catch up on sleep and relax06:28
dufluPerfect06:28
didrocksduflu: indeed, it does06:32
didrocksbut only for my external monitor06:32
didrockswhich doesn't display the panel06:32
dufludidrocks, yeah I suspect the font rendering code is identical between X and Wayland. Only the parameters (known subpixel order etc) are different06:32
didrocksthe one displaying the panel has:06:32
didrocks        subpixel_orientation: horizontal rgb, output_transform: normal,06:32
dufludidrocks, same - I have external monitors only here06:33
dufluI suspect either Xorg guesses HRGB, or the Xorg drivers are more capable at retrieving the subpixel order (from EDID?), or the Xorg drivers also just guess06:37
dufluGuessing HRGB would usually be correct06:38
flexiondotorgMorning duflu didrocks seb12806:43
dufluHi flexiondotorg06:45
seb128hey flexiondotorg06:47
Tribaalhi all! Looks like I lost my gnome session login capability this morning (libmutter segfaults, AFAICT). Is that a known issue? How can I help?07:52
Tribaaldmesg has https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25463848/07:53
Tribaaland syslog doesn't help much more (https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25463865/). I'm on 17.10, up-to-date as of this morning07:56
didrocksTribaal: yeah, known issue, it's fixed in mutter master. jbicha will either do an update with .92 or a snapshot IIRC07:57
Tribaaldidrocks: ok, thanks a lot. Then I guess I'll work on i3 this morning :p07:57

didrockshow was your week-end?08:04
Laneyhey didrocks!!!!08:08
Laneyit was most enjoyable08:08
Laneywent swimming in the river on saturday, and then yesterday an architecture tour by bike followed by climbing08:09
Laneyyou?08:09
didrockssounds nice! We just went from some walks, which were nice :)08:13
seb128hey Laney08:22
seb128didrocks, Tribaal, jbicha did that snapshot this w.e but if you get a new segfault today maybe it's a regression in the snapshot?08:22
seb128Tribaal, what version of the lib do you have?08:22
Tribaalseb128: 3.25.91+20170902~ce515c5-1ubuntu1 (https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/25463935/)08:24
seb128so yeah it's the snapshot08:24
seb128Tribaal, would be useful to report the bug using apport if you have a report in /var/crash08:25
pittibonjour tout le monde ! /me retourne au travail après 3 semaines de vacances :)08:26
seb128salut pitti, comment ça va ? tu as passé de bonnes vacances ?08:27
pittiseb128: oui, merci, c'était très bien !08:29
Tribaalseb128: no report in /var/crash :/08:29

didrocksseb128: are you sure it was a snapshot? I skimmed over the changelog quickly and didn't find a ref to it08:30
didrocksbut didn't check the git hash08:30
didrockshey pitti! Sounds like your trip was really nice :)08:30
pittididrocks: indeed it was; we've seen a loooot, it was quite intense; I'm glad I wrote a diary and sorted/tagged the photos right away every day :)08:31

Laneygstreamer-codec-install (gstreamer1.0-packagekit)09:22
seb128Laney, thanks, the reporter from bug #1711067 seems to have it missing09:23

Laneyok, let me add it09:24
seb128thanks09:24
Laneyit'll need promoting please09:24
seb128sure09:24
seb128Laney, promoted09:25
dufluseb128, BTW totem/gstreamer's container support is poor even when it is installed. I strongly recommend native mpv instead, or native ffmpeg players like mplayer, vlc etc09:25
Laneythanks!09:25
seb128duflu, what do you mean "container"?09:26
dufluseb128, those file extensions09:26
seb128gstreamer should handle those no?09:26
dufluseb128, should yes, but it's very buggy09:26
seb128:-/09:26
duflubest to use ffmpeg-based apps instead09:26
seb128well we can't default to ffmpeg bases player for codec/patent reasons09:27
dufluI know09:27
dufluI know so well :/09:27
seb128so it's still worth trying to make the totem experience as good as we can09:27
seb128but yeah thanks for pointing out that other players do a better job :-)09:27
dufluseb128, yeah I am. But wonder how many more weeks I should devote to totem09:27
seb128what else would you work on if you stopped focussing on totem?09:28
dufluseb128, medium term I would look into libinput09:29
seb128duflu, what totem issues do you work on atm? the clutter refreshing the UI elements when it shouldn't?09:30
dufluseb128, yeah just that at the moment, but other apps like gnome-apps benefit from the same fixes. I'll write it up in the report tomorrow09:30
duflulike gnome-maps09:30
seb128yeah, I saw that09:31
seb128well anyway feel free to move to improve libinput if you think it would be more beneficial overall09:31
seb128totem seems to be in a good enough shape after all the work you put this cycle09:31
dufluseb128, interestingly it seems clutter-gtk is better at embeded GL than the GTK GL widget09:31
seb128they are fixing things for gtk409:32
dufluNewer isn't always better. The issue I'm working on now is actually a regression introduced in 200909:33
dufluJust nobody noticed for a while09:33
seb128right, I saw the bug comments09:33
seb128we did stay away from clutter in Ubuntu default install for a while09:34
dufluseb128, anyway, I hope to come up with multiple apps improved and new knowledge to fix more apps/shell in future09:34
seb128but yeah, shame that nobody noticed at the time it was added09:34
dufluThe learning is valuable09:34
seb128that's the right spirit :-)09:34
dufluseb128, in _theory_ totem could get the same file support as ffmpeg if we omitted all software plugins other than gstreamer-libav. That should replace them all with ffmpeg09:38
seb128right09:38
seb128andyrock, hey, I think bug #1714489 is for you09:39
ubot5bug 1714489 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "Can't translate singular" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/171448909:39

seb128duflu, jbicha knows about the issue I think09:41
dufluCool. But of course he does09:41
andyrockseb128: sorry about that. I actually read somewhere in the gettext docs that this was allowed09:44
andyrockmaybe it's allowed on the python-side but not on lp09:44
seb128could be09:45
andyrockseb128: https://code.launchpad.net/~azzar1/update-manager/fix-1714489/+merge/33015009:52

andyrockbetter ask #ubuntu-translators09:57
seb128andyrock, or #launchpad10:00
dufluseb128, I missed that part of history - what was wrong with clutter in the past?10:00
dufluJust performance?10:00
seb128yeah, it was buggy and not performant for a long time10:01
dufluWell, I'm not seeing proof that's totally resolved but will get to the bottom of it :)10:01
seb128thanks10:02
seb128andyrock, in that case you don't have a number though so the syntax seems to make sense to me10:02
dufluInteresting they use frame clocks similar to my final work on Mir10:03
andyrockseb128: mmm not sure lp/gettext is smart enough to parse the string and realize if there is a number or not10:04
seb128andyrock, well ngettext should have singular/plural strings10:09
seb128"10:10
seb128It is also possible to use this function when the strings don’t contain a cardinal number:10:10
seb128puts (ngettext ("Delete the selected file?",10:10
seb128                "Delete the selected files?",10:10
seb128                n));10:10
seb128In this case the number n is only used to choose the plural form. "10:10
seb128but yeah unsure if you can use the argument for only one of the two variants10:10
andyrockbefore merging the suggested fix let me experiment a little bit10:11
andyrockseb128:  also becuase the fix is wrong10:14
seb128ah?10:16

amano(always heartwarming to read hadess' subtle comments on bug trackers)10:58
seb128jbicha, or looking at it the other way it's not important enough that it needs to be changed, that delta can stay there in state10:59
jbichait's less work to sync than to merge and it's unclear to me that the Ubuntu diff is even right or that we even care that much about libgnome now11:01
seb128it's even less work to not sync, merge or change it since it's deprecated and doesn't need any work :-)11:02
seb128you should better focus on trying to resolve those gnome-shell 3.25 update issues that spend efforts on past libs...11:03

apwdidrocks, hey ... it is right that the pre-enabled ubuntu-dock/indicator extensions do not appear as enabled in gnome-tweak, and cannot be switched off ?14:10
amanoI think that's the intended behaviour. Just apt purge them14:14
andyrockit looks buggy14:15
andyrockI guess it's gnome-tweaks-tool that fails to deal with them14:16
jbichayes, GNOME Tweaks can't handle GNOME Shell mode extensions but we think that may be more of a GNOME Shell bug14:18
jbichaalso, I don't think GNOME Shell supports disabling mode-enabled extensions14:19

seb128I saw it earlier15:08
seb128what sort of input do you want?15:08
seb128I'm unsure if we wanted it for bluetooth only15:09
seb128iirc it does local webdav sharing and that can be enabled from the default install (it prompts to install the packages needed ondemand)?15:09
jbichait only has 1 feature left: webdav but historically we didn't install the apache binaries for that feature to even work15:09
seb128but we had the ui there15:09
seb128and clicking the box would prompt to install the needed packages15:10
jbichanobody ever added support for it to install those packages on demand15:10
seb128unsure how useful that is though15:10
seb128ah15:10
seb128so it was indicated as a label?15:10
jbichaanyway, gnome-user-share doesn't provide a gui any more any way, the gui is now in gnome-control-center15:10
seb128I think I remember the dialog told you what was needed15:10
seb128k15:10
seb128and is the gcc gui hidden if the backend is missing?15:11
seb128in any case it seems like we should sync the new g-u-s and makes g-c-c install that package when somebody tries to enable the feature15:11
seb128so I think syncing is fine15:11
seb128if the release team ack the ffe15:12
jbichagcc hides the gui if gnome-user-share isn't installed; it's not smart enough yet to know that it still needs those missing dependencies15:12
jbichaby default, the Sharing panel will be pretty empty, just "Computer Name" and "Screen Sharing" (and screen sharing won't work with wayland!)15:13
jbichaif you install openssh-server, you'll get a Remote Login option; if you install gnome-user-share, you get File Sharing, and I think rygel adds Media Sharing15:15
seb128we can look at doing better there next cycle15:16
seb128but it's pretty minor so nothing to worry about for now imho15:16
jbichayeah it's not a problem, we have reasons for not installing all of that by default15:17
seb128jibel, those statements conflict no?16:31
seb128"I mean, if, after boot, I select wayland, then on next logins, the wayland session always starts whether I select X or Wayland."16:31
