| robert_ancell | jamesh, if you're looking for a snapd branch to write see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/getting-translated-snap-metadata-via-snapd/1242 | 03:22 |
|---|---|---|
| robert_ancell | If we pass through the HTTP Accept-Language header from the client to the store then translations should be possible... | 03:23 |
| robert_ancell | (once the store has an appropriate infrastruture) | 03:23 |
| robert_ancell | There's also the local snap case, which I guess would be language keyed fields in the YAML | 03:27 |
| jamesh | robert_ancell: okay. I guess I should add that to the desktop priorities thread (and update it in general) | 03:29 |
| jamesh | and thanks for merging the snapd-glib branch | 03:30 |
| robert_ancell | np, thanks for making it! | 03:30 |
| robert_ancell | I'm just writing a thread about the "verified developer" feature. Not sure if that's in the priorities either | 03:30 |
| infinity | So, on reboot, my gnome-shell segfaults. This seems suboptimal. | 03:48 |
| infinity | And a fresh user session doesn't segfault. How "exciting". | 04:29 |
| jibel | morning | 05:22 |
| duflu | Morning/good day jibel | 05:26 |
| duflu | and seb128 | 05:26 |
| jibel | Hi duflu | 05:28 |
| didrocks | good morning | 05:29 |
| duflu | Morning didrocks | 05:32 |
| duflu | A very orange morning | 05:32 |
| didrocks | duflu: ahah, updated to our theme? | 05:32 |
| didrocks | duflu: ironically, despite having ran the theme for a week and half now, I did upgrade yesterday to -0ubuntu2 which rolled me back to no theme :p | 05:32 |
| didrocks | so, I upgraded the theme to everyone's but me :p | 05:33 |
| duflu | didrocks, yes but I need a fresh machine... my desktop is still booting with the old Ubuntu Gnome splash | 05:33 |
| didrocks | ah, you did install Ubuntu Gnome | 05:33 |
| didrocks | we can change that if you are interested | 05:33 |
| didrocks | it's an alternative on plymouth theming | 05:34 |
| duflu | didrocks, I was going to suggest the login screen be grey (with organge highlights) but haven't seen how it plays with the purple boot splash yet... | 05:34 |
| didrocks | duflu: yeah, better to check with the real boot splash for continuing | 05:34 |
| didrocks | orange on the grey didn't really work, we did try this | 05:35 |
| didrocks | but I bet we'll change GDM/lock screen after a while | 05:35 |
| didrocks | duflu: /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth is what points you to your current plymouth theme | 05:35 |
| duflu | The lock screen is wallpaper you configure in Settings isn't it? | 05:35 |
| didrocks | (and so /etc/alternatives/default.plymouth) | 05:35 |
| didrocks | not really | 05:35 |
| didrocks | you have 2 lock screens step, correct? | 05:35 |
| didrocks | the first one (showing the date) is the wallpaper your configure | 05:36 |
| didrocks | the second one (the aubergine background) is the same than GDM | 05:36 |
| didrocks | and harcoded in Shell code and css | 05:36 |
| duflu | I forgot. Only recently disabled the password bit | 05:36 |
| didrocks | https://didrocks.fr/images/artful-shell-transition/default-lock-screen.png | 05:36 |
| didrocks | step 1 ^ | 05:36 |
| didrocks | then, you start typing | 05:36 |
| didrocks | https://didrocks.fr/images/artful-shell-transition/user-unlock.png | 05:37 |
| didrocks | step 2 ^ | 05:37 |
| duflu | Yes, I skip step 2 | 05:37 |
| duflu | It's less annoying | 05:37 |
| duflu | Instead, I lock the door :) | 05:37 |
| duflu | didrocks, still the two bar transparencies are different. Do you know of any plan for that? | 05:40 |
| didrocks | duflu: see my blog post, we kept that one for now because we don't know what's GNOME design team is going to do | 05:40 |
| didrocks | duflu: they might remove the transparency | 05:40 |
| didrocks | if they keep it, it won't be in the current state anyway | 05:41 |
| didrocks | and we'll have to modify it | 05:41 |
| didrocks | ideally, doing something than they do, if we can, like changing transparency based on top panel one | 05:41 |
| duflu | didrocks, that would also affect the colour (top is black, side is Ubuntu grey) | 05:42 |
| seb128 | good morning desktopers | 05:42 |
| seb128 | hey duflu | 05:42 |
| didrocks | duflu: yeah, probably | 05:43 |
| duflu | Weird, the top bar flickers if I scrub the Terminal menus. What is the top bar trying to change to? | 05:44 |
| didrocks | I don't see this | 05:44 |
| duflu | Doesn't matter. We have bigger issues | 05:45 |
| flexiondotorg | Morning duflu didrocks seb128 | 06:19 |
| didrocks | hey flexiondotorg | 06:22 |
| duflu | Morning flexiondotorg | 06:38 |
| seb128 | hey flexiondotorg | 06:40 |
| duflu | Does anyone know why $WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set in a Xorg login? (yes it really is Xorg) | 07:14 |
| jibel | duflu, about bug 1705157 if, in gdm, you select xorg -> Ubuntu -> xorg then login do you get an xorg session ? | 07:35 |
| ubot5` | bug 1705157 in gnome-session (Ubuntu) ""Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu on Xorg" randomly start the same session (maybe Wayland maybe Xorg)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1705157 | 07:35 |
| jibel | duflu, then if you select ubuntu -> xorg -> ubuntu do you get a wayland session? | 07:36 |
| duflu | jibel, I recall using that as a workaround in the past yes. But I haven't hit the bug myself for some time | 07:36 |
| jibel | anyone else hitting this bug could do this verification ^ ? | 07:37 |
| duflu | I actually thought it might be fixed now | 07:40 |
| jibel | it is not, it is reproducible on a fresh install but I cannot find a pattern in which case it starts wayland and which case it starts xorg | 07:42 |
| duflu | jibel, sounds like it's about time someone just looked at the code, and searched for uninitialized variables etc :) | 07:48 |
| duflu | Or rather found out what/where "the code" is | 07:48 |
| jibel | yeah | 07:51 |
| willcooke | morning all | 08:01 |
| didrocks | hey willcooke | 08:02 |
| Laney | moin | 08:02 |
| didrocks | hey Laney | 08:03 |
| Laney | hey didrocks!!!! | 08:03 |
| Laney | what is happening | 08:03 |
| Laney | apart from spamming of planet gnome | 08:04 |
| didrocks | Laney: not really spamming, unsure how the planet importer work (or rather doesn't :p) | 08:04 |
| didrocks | Laney: so had to repost at least :p | 08:04 |
| didrocks | but I think next posts will be ok, crossing fingers | 08:05 |
| didrocks | otherwise, I guess today is the g-c-c day :p | 08:05 |
| didrocks | adding a new panel, blablabla | 08:05 |
| didrocks | and you? | 08:05 |
| Laney | mmm | 08:10 |
| jbicha | didrocks: I think the planet importer has an algoritm to try to find an old embarassing post | 08:11 |
| didrocks | jbicha: clearly, hence my followup post :p | 08:11 |
| jbicha | I got my UOA/GOA split post a few months ago :( | 08:11 |
| didrocks | ahah, nice! | 08:11 |
| didrocks | jbicha: especially as the source of the joke (the GNOME release team announcement on the 1st April) isn't even around anymore :p | 08:12 |
| Laney | I wouldn't add to a new planet without using a tag specific feed | 08:12 |
| * Laney is scared of this kind of thing | 08:12 | |
| Laney | :) | 08:12 |
| Laney | think I spammed planet debian back then | 08:12 |
| didrocks | Laney: it is a tag specific one | 08:12 |
| didrocks | things related to GNOME was tagged as such at the time :) | 08:12 |
| Laney | then you got what you wanted! | 08:12 |
| didrocks | well, 2011/2012 posts? :p | 08:13 |
| didrocks | knowing that I have a bunch more recents on my feed? I don't think so :p | 08:13 |
| didrocks | afranke asked me to add my blog to the planet for the ubuntu changes to GNOME Shell | 08:13 |
| didrocks | the importer should have import none or just the last ones in the feed | 08:14 |
| Laney | oh it missed some? | 08:14 |
| didrocks | yes | 08:14 |
| didrocks | https://didrocks.fr/tags/gnome/ | 08:14 |
| didrocks | all the "Day X" | 08:14 |
| Laney | fail | 08:15 |
| didrocks | + feedback from GUADEC | 08:15 |
| didrocks | yep | 08:15 |
| didrocks | there is a bug apparently (said afranke) opened in 2010 about the first import doing something crazy | 08:15 |
| didrocks | sounds like the importer picks its posts, indeed :) | 08:15 |
| Laney | yeh, that's what I was referring to | 08:15 |
| Laney | but I never actually *wanted* to import old posts | 08:15 |
| Laney | oooooooooooh I'm getting a deja vu | 08:16 |
| Laney | brain malfunction | 08:16 |
| didrocks | ahah, tired already? | 08:17 |
| * didrocks just read Gitlab as "Glib" | 08:18 | |
| didrocks | should go to bed as well :) | 08:18 |
| Laney | One theory of déjà vu attributes the feeling of having previously seen or experienced something that is currently being seen or experienced to that of having dreamt about a similar situation or place and then forgetting about it until one seems to be mysteriously reminded of the situation or the place while awake | 08:19 |
| * Laney dreamed about planet.gnome.org | 08:19 | |
| didrocks | isn't that your brain and memory are asynced rather? | 08:22 |
| didrocks | I thought it had something with the speed of memory and current time transmission | 08:22 |
| didrocks | and so, you think you have already experienced it because it has been store quicker in your memory than you "living/feeling" it | 08:22 |
| Laney | doesn't seem to be settled, from wikipedia at least | 08:25 |
| didrocks | ah, interesting | 08:26 |
| seb128 | hey Laney | 08:49 |
| Laney | ahoy seb128 | 08:49 |
| Laney | are you well | 08:49 |
| Laney | ? | 08:49 |
| seb128 | jibel, did you see my comment from yesterday? your steps on your bug are still not clear, is the second login giving you the same as the first or is that the third? | 08:50 |
| seb128 | Laney, yes, bit of a crazy schedule yesterday/this morning but I should be back to more quiet/normal now which is nice | 08:50 |
| seb128 | willcooke, wb! had good holidays? | 08:51 |
| willcooke | hey seb128, great thanks. Could use another week though ;) | 08:51 |
| Laney | oh, hi willcooke! | 08:52 |
| Laney | yeah all that time by the pool must have been knackering | 08:52 |
| willcooke | factor in the kids | 08:52 |
| willcooke | :) | 08:52 |
| Laney | fly paper | 08:54 |
| Laney | :P | 08:54 |
| Laney | it'll be ok, just give it 16(?) years | 08:54 |
| willcooke | :'( | 08:55 |
| didrocks | doesn't seem to have made the psycho effect that Laney wanted | 08:55 |
| willcooke | seb128, Laney - it's my AWS meeting again today, could you run the meeting? | 08:56 |
| seb128 | I can do | 08:56 |
| willcooke | merci | 08:56 |
| seb128 | np | 08:56 |
| seb128 | Laney sent the newsletter on friday so it's my turn to do something :-) | 08:56 |
| Laney | didrocks knows the score too | 08:57 |
| jibel | seb128, yes I saw. As I said earlier the pattern is not clear. But it seems that the session type is not set unless you go back and forth between 2 sessions. | 08:57 |
| didrocks | Laney: I'll give you soon a Dr Friedlander badge :) | 08:58 |
| jibel | seb128, like u -> x -> u then login will start a wayland session, and x -> u -> x will start an x session | 08:58 |
| seb128 | jibel, did you try to stop the pulseaudio process to release the previous session to see if that makes a difference? | 08:58 |
| jibel | seb128, in the debug log when the bug happens the message "Setting session to type ..." is not displayed | 08:59 |
| jibel | seb128, no but it happens even if you never logged in ie first boot after a fresh installation the default session is Ubuntu but it starts an xorg session | 08:59 |
| jibel | i'll try to stop pulseaudio to check if it makes a difference | 09:00 |
| seb128 | jibel, I can't confirm the new install case | 09:03 |
| seb128 | wfm | 09:03 |
| seb128 | I tried several installs | 09:04 |
| seb128 | did you rule out your vm/video drivers not liking wayland? | 09:04 |
| jibel | seb128, yes | 09:07 |
| jibel | seb128, and I tried on hw | 09:07 |
| jamesh | yeah. I did a fresh install on my new laptop over the weekend, and it seems to be stuck in an X session | 09:19 |
| jamesh | It's run of the mill Intel graphics | 09:20 |
| seb128 | shrug | 09:21 |
| seb128 | I can't confirm here | 09:21 |
| didrocks | anyway, there is really something fishy, tried in my vm yesterday to switch to the GNOME vanilla session, XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP was coming from /usr/share/wayland-sessions/gnome.desktop but Exec= line was the one from /usr/share/wayland-sessions/ubuntu.desktop | 09:21 |
| seb128 | would be nice if somebody who has the issue could at least report it upstream | 09:21 |
| didrocks | so, even that it's a mix… (and ofc, I logout and log back in, no more issues…) | 09:21 |
| seb128 | didrocks, there is at least https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=785918 | 09:22 |
| ubot5` | Gnome bug 785918 in general "After gnome-classic session, gnome session looks like gnome-classic" [Normal,Reopened] | 09:22 |
| seb128 | which is confirmed | 09:22 |
| seb128 | GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE is carried over between sessions because of remaining pulseaudio process | 09:22 |
| seb128 | which keeps the old dbus env active | 09:22 |
| didrocks | seb128: ah, that was it! | 09:22 |
| seb128 | I really miss lightdm :p | 09:22 |
| didrocks | yeah, the env variable was what I meant by "GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE" env set to ubuntu | 09:23 |
| jamesh | logging out, picking "Ubuntu on X", logging out again, and picking Ubuntu seems to have switched me to the wayland session | 09:30 |
| jamesh | as jibel found | 09:30 |
| seb128 | jamesh, that seems normal behavious? | 09:35 |
| seb128 | ubuntu is meant to be wayland | 09:36 |
| jamesh | seb128: Prior to trying this, I'd left it as the default "Ubuntu" | 09:36 |
| jamesh | seb128: this would lead to DESKTOP_SESSION=ubuntu-xorg | 09:37 |
| jamesh | after switching to "Ubuntu on X" and back, it is actually starting a Wayland session | 09:37 |
| seb128 | k | 09:38 |
| seb128 | well dunno how you get in the buggy state | 09:38 |
| Laney | it'd be great if someone felt like debugging this... | 09:38 |
| seb128 | if you have it again maybe poke to the gdm/accountsservices configs | 09:38 |
| jamesh | it started in the buggy state :) | 09:38 |
| seb128 | I can't get the buggy state here | 09:39 |
| seb128 | works fine on new install | 09:39 |
| seb128 | and on changes | 09:39 |
| willcooke | I just installed the daily and "WiFi settings" isn't doing anything from the indicator. jibel do you have a new(ish) install which you can confirm that? | 09:52 |
| jibel | willcooke, not new(ish) with a wifi card | 09:55 |
| willcooke | jibel, ack, np | 09:55 |
| willcooke | hummm | 09:56 |
| jibel | willcooke, but I can confirm it does nothing on an upgraded system | 09:56 |
| willcooke | If I click on VPN settings, then I get the panel up | 09:56 |
| jibel | and wired settings works | 09:57 |
| jamesh | It isn't doing anything here either (fresh install from Saturday) | 09:57 |
| willcooke | thanks jibel jamesh | 09:58 |
| jibel | willcooke, I get this error | 09:58 |
| jibel | sept. 05 11:57:50 herm gnome-shell[3240]: Settings panel for desktop file gnome-wifi-panel.desktop could not be loaded! | 09:58 |
| jibel | willcooke, you report it or do I? | 09:58 |
| willcooke | jibel, if you would, thank you! I'll try and work out what's changed there | 09:59 |
| willcooke | I suspect it's VPN related | 09:59 |
| jamesh | I think gnome-wifi-panel.desktop is new | 10:02 |
| willcooke | ah, so could be related to the new control center | 10:03 |
| jamesh | https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-control-center/commit/?id=016efdfac8e06a6c223e8dd8ede990bb2d49b8bd | 10:03 |
| jamesh | so, we've got a 3.24 release of gnome-control-center, but a 3.25 development version of gnome-shell | 10:06 |
| Laney | right, it's waiting for the patches to be rebased, didrocks is working on that | 10:06 |
| didrocks | (and seb128 ;)) | 10:07 |
| didrocks | jibel: FYI, you also have the display panel which doesn't work with new G-S/mutter | 10:08 |
| didrocks | so we'll need to get the new version anyway | 10:08 |
| didrocks | (just a warning so that you don't inspect more there) | 10:08 |
| jibel | didrocks, all right | 10:10 |
| jibel | bug 1715117 so we don't forget :) | 10:10 |

| seb128 | not much point opening bugs about g-c-c/g-s mismatch imho | 10:22 |
| seb128 | but anyway, if people feel better doing it feel free | 10:22 |
| seb128 | we are going to update for sure so they don't really need tracking | 10:23 |
| willcooke | jbicha, hey! I just installed the daily and I don't see the cap. portal config file. Is it being done via a setting instead? | 10:26 |
| seb128 | willcooke, it should be in /usr/lib/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-ubuntu.conf | 10:27 |
| willcooke | ahhh | 10:27 |
| willcooke | thanks seb128, I was looking in /etc/NetworkManager | 10:27 |
| seb128 | yw | 10:27 |
| seb128 | etc is for admin changes | 10:28 |
| seb128 | systems default are in usr | 10:28 |
| willcooke | why does n-m captialise its directories I wonder | 10:28 |
| seb128 | yeah, unsure | 10:28 |
| seb128 | it's the same for the tarball/git repo name though | 10:28 |
| seb128 | so at least they are consistent | 10:28 |
| seb128 | but yeah, it's a bit uncommon and weird | 10:29 |
| willcooke | The best thing about standards is that there are so many different ones | 10:29 |
| seb128 | yeah | 10:31 |
| seb128 | changing location, be back online in 10/15min | 10:32 |
| amano | Can't we adjust ubuntu-dock transparency to match exactly the top bar transparency? Or vice verse? I think that those two different transparencies looks odd. | 10:52 |
| didrocks | amano: read my blog post, I explained why we didn't touch it yet | 10:53 |
| willcooke | Can anyone running Xenial proposed tell me if they have the correct G-Software icon? i.e. the Ubuntu orange one? | 11:00 |
| * didrocks reboots on X as hacking on the Shell | 11:01 | |
| seb128 | willcooke, do you have ubuntu-software installed on that xenial-proposed? | 11:05 |
| seb128 | if you opted in for some binaries you might have forgotten that one and it got uninstalled because of versions mismatches | 11:06 |
| willcooke | seb128, ah, that's probably what it is | 11:06 |
| willcooke | seb128, installed it, ran it, still have the GNOME icon, maybe I need to restart my session | 11:07 |
| willcooke | The name is correct in the about box | 11:07 |
| willcooke | The Hiri banner looks cool though | 11:07 |
| seb128 | willcooke, yeah, you probably need to restart | 11:08 |
| jibel | willcooke, I've the orange case with a capital A on it | 11:16 |
| willcooke | thx jibel | 11:17 |
| jibel | is the shell slow to start for everyone or just me? On a low spec laptop it takes more than a minute between the moment I press the login button and the moment I can use the shell | 11:33 |
| seb128 | it takes me like 10-15s on a 6 years i5 laptop with rotational disk | 11:41 |
| didrocks | takes ~2s here with a 6 years i7 laptop and ssd | 11:45 |
| jibel | i've a g-s crash maybe that explains it | 11:46 |
| jibel | https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=/usr/bin/gnome-shell%3A11%3A__GI___libc_free%3Ag_free%3Ameta_wayland_finalize%3Ameta_finalize%3Ameta_run | 11:46 |
| didrocks | oh probably | 11:46 |
| * jibel deletes the crash file and tries again | 11:46 | |
| jibel | better, no crash but still over 30s | 11:50 |
| didrocks | nobody on the french forum reported this | 11:59 |
| didrocks | so, at least, not that widespread | 12:00 |
| didrocks | (and I can testify they are testing the changes) | 12:00 |
| didrocks | rotational disk? | 12:00 |
| didrocks | (as part of the low spec) | 12:00 |
| didrocks | we are opening some more files than barebone shell, but it's like 15 of them… | 12:00 |

| alexarnaud | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-orca/+bug/1714688 | 12:05 |
| alexarnaud | At this time blind people couldn't use Ubuntu because Orca is broken. For me it is a RC bug because a blind person without orca can't use his computer, it is similar if the screen becomes black. | 12:05 |
| alexarnaud | willcooke: Do you think someone from the desktop team could take a look to this bug? I've investigated last Saturday the origin of the issue and I've find a way to figure out the issue so it's more or less a matter of uploading so. | 12:05 |
| ubot5` | Ubuntu bug 1714688 in gnome-orca (Ubuntu) "orca fails to start" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 12:05 |
| alexarnaud | I just try to help you a little bit in this area to ensure no regression for the blind Ubuntu user-base. | 12:06 |
| seb128 | alexarnaud, why didn't you keep using bug #1704847? | 12:08 |

| seb128 | alexarnaud, if you have changes you want to get sponsored the process is described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess | 12:08 |
| seb128 | so you were talking to jbicha about it? | 12:09 |
| alexarnaud | seb128: I've added him on CC of the bug indeed. | 12:09 |
| alexarnaud | seb128: it's just a one-line change. | 12:09 |
| seb128 | one line or more the sponsoring process is still the same | 12:10 |
| seb128 | alexarnaud, that bug has no diff nor explanation of by autoreconf is needed and what the issue is | 12:11 |
| === jlnr_ is now known as jlnr | ||
| alexarnaud | So let me time to take a look more deeply on the sponsorship process. I could only do that on my spare time. | 12:18 |
| seb128 | alexarnaud, looks like jbicha has been responding to you so maybe he's wanting to upload the change you suggest | 12:19 |
| alexarnaud | seb128: where? I've never seen the answer. | 12:20 |
| seb128 | alexarnaud, you said he's the one who asked you to open a new bug? | 12:21 |
| alexarnaud | yes, you're right, here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-orca/+bug/1704847/comments/11 | 12:25 |
| ubot5` | Ubuntu bug 1704847 in gnome-orca (Ubuntu) "orca crashes on startup" [High,Invalid] | 12:25 |
| alexarnaud | I've discovered cdbs last Saturday so I don't really understand what is the purpose of the autoconf.mk but the fact is it was included in previous release and it works. | 12:27 |
| alexarnaud | As I understand it takes care of new files. | 12:27 |
| seb128 | right | 12:29 |
| seb128 | jibel, thanks for sending that session bug upstream, I still find your descriptions confusing though, I hope upstream gets less confused | 12:30 |
| seb128 | jibel, like the test case have ubuntu=xorg and the workaround ubuntu=wayland | 12:30 |
| seb128 | I think it mixes descriptions from the time were xorg was default with now where wayland is default? | 12:31 |
| seb128 | anyway let's see if they ask for details and which ones | 12:31 |
| jbicha | alexarnaud: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-orca/3.25.4-0ubuntu2 thank you for reporting and figuring out the issue! :) | 12:49 |
| alexarnaud | you're welcome.:) | 12:55 |
| jbicha | Laney: do you think LP: #1699216 needs a FFe? And do you think you'll have time to review the accountsservice patch? (I remember you briefly looked at an earlier version of it) | 13:05 |
| ubot5` | Launchpad bug 1699216 in gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) "Encrypted home support" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1699216 | 13:05 |
| seb128 | jbicha, thanks for that orca upload | 13:15 |
| seb128 | jbicha, also on the firefox bug, did you remove the s390x from the title/description on purpose? | 13:15 |
| jbicha | seb128: yes, sorry for not commenting about that: firefox/s390x was already removed in yakkety or zesty | 13:17 |
| seb128 | oh ok | 13:18 |
| Laney | jbicha: I dunno, it's probably fine as long as it doesn't affect any other codepaths, and I don't know if I'll have time to review. | 13:24 |
| Laney | I did ask around if some people would but they didn't reply to me. | 13:24 |
| jbicha | I can review the other packages but I felt uncomfortable with my knowledge of how libraries work to know if the accountsservice patch was ok | 13:26 |
| Laney | I'm not extremely happy with having to patch many things downstream for this feature FWIW | 13:29 |
| Laney | but unless someone wants to work on an upstreamable way to make users with encrypted home I don't see a way around it | 13:30 |
| jbicha | there was talk about encrypted home eventually using native ext4 encryption which should be upstreamable | 13:44 |
| gQuigs | IRC logs aren't updated yet... what's the blocker for encrypted home? | 13:54 |
| Laney | what blocker? | 13:55 |
| gQuigs | err.. what's "but unless someone wants to work on an upstreamable way to make users with encrypted home I don't see a way around it" talking about? | 13:56 |
| Laney | the patches use an ubuntu only flag to adduser | 13:57 |
| ricotz | hey desktopers, is there a chance to go through another poppler transition to update to 0.59.0? | 14:03 |
| ricotz | https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+sourcepub/8235372/+listing-archive-extra | 14:03 |
| jbicha | gQuigs: the blocker is someone reviewing the accountsservice patch from LP: #1699216 and checking that it won't cause us maintainability problems | 14:04 |

| seb128 | ricotz, you need a ffe -> release team | 14:09 |
| Laney | why would we want to do that? | 14:10 |
| Laney | ricotz: | 14:10 |
| Laney | you should provide a strong argument otherwise I don't think so | 14:10 |
| gQuigs | ricotz: does it fix the jpeg regression? - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1714596 | 14:17 |
| ubot5` | Ubuntu bug 1714596 in poppler (Ubuntu) "PDF images are blank" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 14:17 |
| jibel | seb128, I don't find a better way to describe the bug than its title. I've 2 laptop exhibiting this bug, 1 always starts xorg the other always wayland ... | 14:17 |
| * gQuigs testing | 14:17 | |
| jibel | and now upstream wants a proof that it's an upstream bug, that's helpful | 14:17 |
| seb128 | jibel, right, don't worry, the title/issue is understandable, it's the steps/testcases which are a bit confusing but I guess it's because nobody found a reliable way to hit the issue | 14:18 |
| seb128 | bah | 14:18 |
| didrocks | would be good to reproduce it in like fedora with multiple sessions maybe? :p | 14:18 |
| seb128 | the triager is annoying | 14:19 |
| seb128 | let me reopen | 14:19 |
| k_alam | jibel: Is this issue related to yours? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/1714596 | 14:24 |
| ubot5` | Ubuntu bug 1714596 in poppler (Ubuntu) "PDF images are blank" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 14:24 |
| k_alam | Ah sorry this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/1714876 | 14:24 |
| ubot5` | Ubuntu bug 1714876 in gdm (Ubuntu) "GDM doesn't show xorg session at login (Artful)" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 14:24 |
| Laney | how do you think we should fix bug #1712289? | 14:33 |
| ubot5` | bug 1712289 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Wrong theme in ubiquity-dm and 'Install Ubuntu' " [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1712289 | 14:33 |
| Laney | it's because the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP isn't set there I think and now we have per-session overrides | 14:33 |
| Laney | presumably in bin/ubiquity-dm somehow | 14:34 |
| ricotz | seb128, Laney, yeah, mostly enhancements and new features, so not really a bugfix release | 14:34 |
| gQuigs | ricotz: nope, it doesn't fix the jpeg regression - it seems like all jpegs won't display now... | 14:35 |
| ricotz | gQuigs, hmm, I don't think so if is it related to the unmaintained jpx part | 14:35 |
| ricotz | openjpeg is what is needed as the bug already suggests | 14:35 |
| didrocks | Laney: yeah, now that previous ubiquity is out of proposed, someone can tackle this. I may do it after the g-c-c thing. It's a one-liner fix via XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP IMHO + creating a new mode for the Shell | 14:35 |
| didrocks | or you will have unmatching theme in the Shell | 14:36 |
| didrocks | and if you set it to "ubuntu", you will have the dock, which you don't want :p | 14:36 |
| gQuigs | ricotz: well it used to work with a lot more PDFs in poppler in 17.04 and now doesn't | 14:37 |
| Laney | didrocks: ah right, there's already a mode for ubiquity, presumably that just needs the theme | 14:38 |
| didrocks | Laney: hum, I didn't see it? I guess we are using the gdm one otherwise? (which might be enough) | 14:38 |
| Laney | it comes from ubiquity itself | 14:38 |
| didrocks | oh | 14:39 |
| didrocks | interesting | 14:39 |
| didrocks | bin/ubiquity-dm: wm_cmd = ['gnome-shell', '--sm-disable', '--mode=ubiquity'] | 14:39 |
| didrocks | yep | 14:39 |
| didrocks | so just need to add the theme to it | 14:39 |
| didrocks | Laney: I can have a look either by EOW or next one | 14:39 |
| didrocks | sounds easy anyway, just unsure how to test it easily | 14:39 |
| * gQuigs wonders if most users open PDFs in browser these days... renders fine in Firefox.. | 14:39 | |
| didrocks | (I hope that ubiquity won't stays forever again in proposed) | 14:40 |
| Laney | bah | 14:41 |
| Laney | it's hard to hack ubiquity-dm | 14:41 |
| didrocks | I wonder if a persistent usb key isn't the best :p | 14:41 |
| jbicha | Laney: I think we need https://code.launchpad.net/~jbicha/ubiquity/adapt-to-gsd325/+merge/329902 | 14:44 |
| Laney | sure, but that's not the same bug | 14:45 |
| jbicha | oh | 14:45 |
| Laney | hmm | 14:46 |
| Laney | maybe I can use a shared mount thingy in virt-manager to get at my home directory | 14:46 |
| Laney | probably won't work from busybox will it | 14:46 |
| didrocks | Laney: what do you try to do? | 14:47 |
| Laney | copy ubiquity-dm back in | 14:47 |
| didrocks | ah, yeah, from casper_bottom, you can't do much apart from trying to hack directly | 14:48 |
| didrocks | which is doable for tests at least | 14:48 |
| Laney | it's really hard to insert lines there | 14:49 |
| Laney | especially in python | 14:49 |
| didrocks | yeah, appending is easy with a cat >>, but editing… | 14:49 |
| * Laney optimistically tries to install vim /o\ | 14:50 | |
| Laney | huh, it seems to work | 14:50 |
| didrocks | when breaking at casper_bottom? | 14:50 |
| Laney | yeah | 14:50 |
| Laney | then chroot into it | 14:50 |
| didrocks | waow :) | 14:50 |
| didrocks | sounds like it's going to be easy then | 14:51 |
| didrocks | do you want to export the XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP unconditionnally for G-S? | 14:51 |
| Laney | probs | 14:51 |
| didrocks | so I guess in wm_cmd = ['gnome-shell'… | 14:51 |
| Laney | https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~laney/ubiquity/1712289/revision/6552 | 14:51 |
| didrocks | and ofc, the other change is just http://paste.ubuntu.com/25472549/ | 14:51 |
| Laney | !!! | 14:51 |
| didrocks | yep! | 14:52 |
| didrocks | as gnome-shell or ubiquity is supposively launching the other processes | 14:52 |
| didrocks | it should be good to load the correct gtk overrides | 14:52 |
| didrocks | (theme) | 14:52 |
| Laney | I think we need a dbus-update-activation-environment too | 14:55 |
| didrocks | oh correct | 14:56 |
| Laney | noooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooope not enough | 14:58 |
| Laney | how's this override thing supposed to work? | 15:01 |
| didrocks | just using the mode is enough | 15:04 |
| didrocks | it's either the env var or the --mode option | 15:04 |
| didrocks | you don't have the css taken into account? | 15:04 |
| didrocks | or you mean the per desktop name override? | 15:05 |
| didrocks | (gsettings) | 15:05 |
| Laney | you need the gtk theme too | 15:05 |
| Laney | yes | 15:05 |
| didrocks | for the latter, it's simply gsettings (glib) reading the correct matching key | 15:05 |
| didrocks | can you look if the ubiquity-gtk process has the env variable? | 15:05 |
| Laney | it does | 15:06 |
| Laney | but gsettings get gives Ambiance | 15:07 |
| Laney | erm | 15:07 |
| Laney | Adwaita | 15:07 |
| didrocks | gsettings get in a terminal which has the env variable? | 15:08 |
| Laney | yes | 15:08 |
| didrocks | g_variant_lookup_value was all internal to the process to me | 15:11 |
| didrocks | but yeah, you are right, exporting the env var and running gsettings get doesn't work | 15:12 |
| Laney | ._. | 15:14 |
| muktupavels | are you speaking about per-desktop overrides? I can use XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=something gsettings get ... to get per desktop value... | 15:17 |
| seb128 | jbicha, do you plan to follow up on devel to say that you opened the firefox ppc64el remove bug? | 15:19 |
| jbicha | seb128: maybe, the bug is still unfinished | 15:20 |
| seb128 | right, but it's still an useful piece of discussion/follow up | 15:20 |
| seb128 | if you don't want to I can do it | 15:20 |
| seb128 | so at least we let other know that the intend is to go in that direction | 15:20 |
| seb128 | we might have people who argue against before the bug is complete | 15:20 |
| Laney | muktupavels: do you understand this? http://people.canonical.com/~laney/weird-things/uhh.png | 15:21 |
| didrocks | muktupavels: that's what I thought/got as well, but I can't in my current setup | 15:21 |
| * Laney feels silly | 15:21 | |
| didrocks | Laney: did you try exporting the var? | 15:21 |
| Laney | it is | 15:21 |
| * Laney whimpers | 15:22 | |
| * Laney restarts and tries again | 15:22 | |
| didrocks | Laney: yeah, can reproduce here | 15:22 |
| jbicha | seb128: go ahead, but removing firefox/ppc64el won't help us much since Chris is blocking armhf removal, right? | 15:22 |
| didrocks | Laney: so, indeed, I was just using XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gsettings, and it's indeed local | 15:23 |
| seb128 | jbicha, it's not going to help the current situation but we had other cycles where ppc64el was the blocker | 15:23 |
| didrocks | Laney: I don't understand why exporting the env var doesn't work for our use case though… (and what's even different for the process) | 15:23 |
| Laney | haha | 15:23 |
| seb128 | jbicha, so it's still a welcome move for the futur | 15:23 |
| Laney | didrocks: it is there in the process, I can see its environment | 15:23 |
| Laney | I copied it into that shell, that's why it's set | 15:23 |
| * Laney tries again from clean | 15:24 | |
| Laney | hmm | 15:24 |
| Laney | ubiquity is doing stuff with gsettings earlier on | 15:25 |
| didrocks | Laney: ubiquity-dm doesn't spawn a separate process for ubiquity-gtk? | 15:25 |
| Laney | before I set XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP | 15:25 |
| didrocks | unnice | 15:25 |
| didrocks | but still, that doesn't explain the export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME; gsettings get… and XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gsettings get… difference | 15:25 |
| didrocks | and I must say you really puzzled me on that one | 15:26 |
| Laney | wouldn't worry, I probably messed something up | 15:26 |
| didrocks | (even if it's not related to this issue :p) | 15:26 |
| didrocks | Laney: no, as told, I can reproduce | 15:26 |
| didrocks | in my session | 15:26 |
| Laney | k, got confused about what you can reproduce and not | 15:26 |
| seb128 | weird thing | 15:27 |
| didrocks | I can reproduce the "export XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME; gsettings get…" giving a different result than "XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=GNOME gsettings get…" | 15:27 |
| didrocks | which, apart from the lifetime of the export, shouldn't make any difference to me | 15:27 |
| muktupavels | rebuild gsettings with printf line that shows what it sees? | 15:28 |
| didrocks | yeah, unsure we want to invest into this, apart if the gsettings binary itself fork and strip some env var not in $*… | 15:29 |
| didrocks | so could be binary specific | 15:29 |
| didrocks | Laney: on your actual fix… unsure how we can do | 15:29 |
| Laney | oh FFS I picked live session mode this time | 15:29 |
| * Laney cries | 15:29 | |
| didrocks | Laney: the glib code is doing: | 15:29 |
| didrocks | + if (g_once_init_enter (¤t_desktops)) | 15:29 |
| Laney | better write some notes | 15:29 |
| didrocks | to detect current desktop | 15:29 |
| seb128 | ok, it's meeting time | 15:29 |
| didrocks | so, it will be on the first load… | 15:30 |
| seb128 | didrocks, Laney, sorry, going to have to pause or move | 15:30 |
| didrocks | no worry ;) | 15:30 |

| didrocks | Just around for 3 days (took some swap days last week) and wasn't around last week, so report for ~1.5 week: | 15:35 |
| didrocks | * Packaged and seeded KStatusNotifier/Appindicator extension. Wrote about it in https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/23/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-7/. | 15:35 |
| didrocks | * Fit & Finish sprint + post-post polisht by making the theme changes more consistant and maintainable. | 15:35 |
| didrocks | * Wrote up about those on https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/25/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-8/ and https://didrocks.fr/2017/09/04/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-9/. Track and answers comments on blog, omgubuntu and french forum. | 15:35 |
| didrocks | * Track the upstream incoming changes for transparency (sounds quite experimental still) | 15:35 |
| didrocks | * Got my GNOME foundation membership and blog added to planet GNOME | 15:35 |
| didrocks | * Some AA work | 15:35 |

| seb128 | * Totem: | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - I've been deep-diving into totem performance for most of the week: https://trello.com/c/7zeMdP0S/240-fix-totem-performance | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - What makes it difficult is that GTK's signal-driven architecture hides cause from effect (hides callers from callees). | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - Finally tracked down the biggest CPU hog to clutter-gtk. Totem (and gnome-maps at least) is using 50% of its CPU time software-rendering the window background and decorations on every video frame: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=787001 | 15:37 |
| ubot5` | Gnome bug 787001 in GtkClutterEmbed "clutter-gtk apps like totem and gnome-maps are spending 50% of their CPU time redrawing GTK widgets" [Normal,New] | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - I now have a patch that halves CPU of totem and gnome-maps, so if all else fails we will patch that I'm just holding off for the moment to see if I can come up with a different solution that doesn't make upstream upset. Because the issue right now is that it may cause reduced smoothness in gnome-maps on very fast machines. But that's it... slower machines would of course benefit more from the halved CPU. | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - Now also trying to understand how mutter and others composite such sub-surface apps so I can get the theory right before proceeding. | 15:37 |
| seb128 | * Video acceleration: | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - Public announcement about out-of-box support is still blocked for the past month awaiting: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-restricted-addons/+bug/1709166 | 15:37 |
| ubot5` | Ubuntu bug 1709166 in ubuntu-restricted-addons (Ubuntu) "Refresh Restricted Addons" [Undecided,In progress] | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - Fun numbers: Totem (on Wayland) uses about 4-5x more CPU than other players, even when all are using VAAPI because: | 15:37 |
| seb128 | . 50% Software rendering the GTK window/widgets/decorations on every video frame | 15:37 |
| seb128 | . 20% VAAPI decoding the video (this part is equal to other players) | 15:37 |
| seb128 | . 15% GStreamer overhead including audio decoding | 15:37 |
| seb128 | . 10% other | 15:37 |
| seb128 | . 5% cogl-rendering the the video texture | 15:37 |
| seb128 | * PulseAudio: | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - Xenial SRU is now blocked by crash reports of the primary "fixed" bug still happening... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:8.0-0ubuntu3.4 | 15:37 |
| seb128 | - Not sure I care about xenial enough to persue that right now given sponsors also insist on patching zesty first. Not worth the effort right now. | 15:37 |
| seb128 | * Daily bug management across gnome-shell, gdm, ubuntu-themes, bluez, pulseaudio and mir. | 15:37 |
| seb128 | 15:38 | |
| seb128 | would be nice if somebody could help and review the ubuntu-restricted-addons sponsoring request | 15:38 |

| seb128 | * snapd: updated pending polkit PRs based on review feedback. The | 15:40 |
| seb128 | allow-interaction PR has been merged, and I think the other is likely | 15:40 |
| seb128 | to follow this week. | 15:40 |
| seb128 | * snapd-glib: Robert merged my matching allow-interaction PR, which is | 15:40 |
| seb128 | included in the 1.19 release. At this point, it looks like we will | 15:40 |
| seb128 | have everything in place to do graphical installs of snaps without a | 15:40 |

| seb128 | * Got my GNOME git account reactivated to ease future work on | 15:40 |
| seb128 | gnome-software and any other upstream work. | 15:40 |

| seb128 | * finish off porting privacy control panel abrt code to whoopsie and | 15:40 |
| seb128 | get it into our packages. | 15:40 |
| seb128 | * Add host system font support to "desktop" snapd interface once the | 15:40 |
| seb128 | corresponding core snap PR is accepted. | 15:40 |

| * kenvandine waves | 15:42 | |
| kenvandine | * gnome-system-monitor is now available in the edge channel fully confined. My request to auto-connect required interfaces did get two votes so should get the declaration added. | 15:42 |
| kenvandine | * spent time trying to figure out why thumbnails weren't working in eog, and found that if i hacked around the mimetype query it worked. However, at some point it thumbnails started working (no idea why). I've verified on in a clean VM I did get thumbnails from the version of eog published in the edge channel. Would be nice if someone else could verify that as well. | 15:42 |
| kenvandine | * Had some more discussions related to auto-connecting of the gnome content interface and responded to that thread on the forum. I think the best short term solution is to rename the snap as suggested and hope what they are working on in snapd will provide a more solid solution going forward. | 15:42 |
| kenvandine | * Created branches for all of my snaps adding the wayland interface. Tested them all with wayland against core from edge, all good to go now. | 15:42 |
| kenvandine | * Working with folks from GNOME engaugement team to create some docs to help users transition from Unity to GNOME. | 15:42 |

| kenvandine | install eog from edge, open an image with it | 15:43 |
| kenvandine | you should get the thumbnails at the bottom | 15:43 |
| kenvandine | oh | 15:43 |
| seb128 | if the bottom bar is displayed? | 15:43 |
| kenvandine | you will probably need to check "Image Gallery" in the menu | 15:43 |

| seb128 | do we have any other topic this week? | 15:51 |
| seb128 | jbicha, g-c-c was already mentioned but I hope that gets unblocked this week | 15:52 |
| jbicha | . | 15:52 |
| seb128 | seems on track for it | 15:52 |
| jbicha | ooh, I'd like to figure out what's required for failsafex and what we can safely drop | 15:52 |
| seb128 | ah | 15:52 |
| seb128 | I didn't really follow on that topic | 15:52 |
| jbicha | the whole xterm issue https://bugs.debian.org/856858 | 15:52 |
| ubot5` | Debian bug 856858 in src:xterm "xterm: Please split .desktop files into separate binary package" [Normal,Open] | 15:52 |
| jbicha | and xdiagnose | 15:52 |
| jbicha | xdiagnose doesn't work in GNOME on Wayland any way | 15:53 |
| seb128 | does the failsafex still make sense in a wayland world? | 15:53 |
| seb128 | right... | 15:53 |
| didrocks | but we still have X, however, I would agree to drop it | 15:53 |
| jbicha | I need to follow up with tjaalton to get his input about all that | 15:53 |
| jbicha | I assume he's the one most interested in X stuff around Ubuntu now | 15:54 |
| didrocks | indeed | 15:54 |
| seb128 | right, I was going to suggest asking tjaalton what he thinks | 15:54 |
| didrocks | for the record, we might move a bunch of icons to the "utilities" subgroup in GNOME Shell | 15:55 |
| didrocks | that was part of the hackfest discussion | 15:55 |
| didrocks | just need to find time for that | 15:55 |
| didrocks | (the list is in trello board) | 15:55 |
| didrocks | https://trello.com/c/Cpt4wwRw/204-london-fit-and-finish-hackfest | 15:55 |
| jbicha | didrocks: I had trouble hacking gnome-menus last year when I tried | 15:55 |
| didrocks | jbicha: oh? we have some in it, but what's the trouble was about? | 15:55 |
| jbicha | I wanted to kill Sundry | 15:56 |
| seb128 | they didn't drop that utility subgroup thing yet? | 15:56 |
| seb128 | it's sort of confusing imho :-/ | 15:56 |
| didrocks | no, if you open your overview, you will find it | 15:56 |
| jbicha | in Ubuntu GNOME default, dconf-editor was the only thing in Sundry | 15:56 |
| seb128 | right, I just did | 15:56 |
| seb128 | the g-s dash is pretty poor, make me almost miss the unity one :p | 15:56 |
| didrocks | from the trello board, after a review between willcooke, popey and I: Update utilities (add imagemagick, xterm, fcitx*, input method, mozc setup, onboard settings, power statistics, software & update, startup applications, xterm, uxterm) | 15:56 |
| didrocks | well -onboard now :p | 15:56 |
| seb128 | seems like most of that list should go away | 15:56 |
| seb128 | fcitx as well | 15:57 |
| didrocks | what I tried to argue for, but others were unsure | 15:57 |
| jbicha | imagemagick has the same issue as xterm in that I want to hide or not install the .desktop but having trouble getting Debian to care for my proposal | 15:57 |
| seb128 | we should do that in Ubuntu at least | 15:57 |
| didrocks | will seems to think people want to have this (horrible) imagemagick UI | 15:57 |
| didrocks | I was just going to NoDisplay it otherwise :p | 15:58 |
| jbicha | I'll file a bug with my imagemagick packaging proposal for you to review | 15:58 |
| seb128 | thanks | 15:58 |
| didrocks | jbicha: well, not me, talk to Will first ;) | 15:58 |
| seb128 | I can talk to Will&review | 15:58 |
| didrocks | the rest is rather "let's hide them in the utility section" | 15:58 |
| seb128 | those sections are just weird but that would be better than nothing | 15:59 |
| jbicha | speaking of hiding things, LP: #1696250 | 15:59 |
| ubot5` | Launchpad bug 1696250 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "Please hide Start Center and Math" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1696250 | 15:59 |
| seb128 | I guess that's enough on that topic for the meeting | 15:59 |
| didrocks | yeah, to have a shorter list useful for our users | 15:59 |
| didrocks | yep | 15:59 |
| seb128 | jbicha, ah, let's see with Olivier next week once he's back for that one | 15:59 |
| jbicha | ok | 15:59 |
| didrocks | jbicha: same, I tried to argue hiding Start | 15:59 |
| didrocks | I was in the minority :) | 15:59 |
| seb128 | other topics? | 16:00 |
| jbicha | no aob from me today | 16:00 |
| kenvandine | nope | 16:00 |
| didrocks | nothing else! | 16:00 |
| seb128 | k | 16:00 |
| seb128 | btw those who have upload rights | 16:00 |
| seb128 | didrocks, kenvandine, jbicha, Laney, if any of you want to review the ubuntu-restricted suggested changes from the list please do | 16:01 |
| seb128 | if nobody does I'm just going to upload with libav added | 16:02 |
| seb128 | since that's blocking duflu for weeks | 16:02 |
| seb128 | I don't have enough opinion/context on what restricted is supposed to do to be confident uploading all the suggested changes | 16:02 |
| seb128 | k, that was my aob for today | 16:03 |
| seb128 | I guess we can wrap | 16:03 |

| didrocks | I guess it's fine to just upload with libav, I don't have enough opinions on codec vs code quality which is really specialize | 16:03 |
| didrocks | thanks | 16:03 |
| seb128 | thanks for the input didrocks :-) | 16:03 |
| kenvandine | i can take a look, but i've never really even considered ubuntu-restricted | 16:03 |
| Laney | is that the thing that's installed from the installer? | 16:04 |
| seb128 | I think so? | 16:04 |
| seb128 | as said I'm not really familiar enough with it | 16:05 |
| seb128 | which is why I didn't upload | 16:05 |
| jbicha | seb128: I've done some uploads for -restricted-extras so maybe just add it my to-do list then | 16:05 |
| Laney | k, well, if it is then there's this comment in the seeds about the TB saying that libav isn't allowed on images | 16:05 |
| seb128 | jbicha, thanks | 16:05 |
| Laney | don't know if this would have an impact there or not | 16:06 |
| seb128 | Laney, can you reply on the list with that info maybe? | 16:06 |
| jbicha | oh | 16:06 |
| seb128 | k, on that note I need to step out of a bit | 16:06 |
| seb128 | I come back and deal with backlog etc later | 16:06 |
| Laney | I'll paste it into the bug | 16:06 |
| jbicha | I'm interested in the TB revisiting that decision since many Ubuntu flavors ship libav | 16:06 |
| andyrock | anyone knows if the dash-to-dock guys uses IRC | 16:07 |
| andyrock | and where | 16:07 |
| didrocks | I don't think they do, but they are responsive on github | 16:07 |
| andyrock | 💔 | 16:08 |
| Laney | actually it already depends on it | 16:10 |
| Laney | s/depends on/recommends/ | 16:10 |
| Laney | (for quite some times; this isn't what the debdiff is changing) | 16:11 |
| jbicha | oh ok | 16:12 |
| Laney | so yeah, no problemo from me | 16:13 |
| infinity | didrocks, Laney, jbicha: On my last upgrade/reboot, gnome-shell segfaults on startup. With a fresh user, it's fine, so obviously it hates my old settings. Who feels like helping debug this (or at least helping me log into my regular user without wiping out all my dot-dirs)? | 16:13 |
| infinity | As upgrade experiences go, this one's not necessarily the best. ;) | 16:14 |
| jbicha | infinity: I had https://bugzilla.gnome.org/786660 but couldn't find anyone to duplicate it or further debug it | 16:14 |
| ubot5` | Gnome bug 786660 in general "3.25.91: Unable to log in: invalid monitor configuration, Logical monitors not adjecent" [Critical,New] | 16:14 |
| jbicha | otherwise, I am weak in mutter/gnome-shell crash debug skills | 16:15 |
| infinity | jbicha: My hero. Moving monitors.xml let me log in. | 16:18 |
| infinity | jbicha: I think we need to make hunting that down a priority. We can't be the only two. | 16:19 |
| jbicha | infinity: can you try to provide the backtrace requested on that bug? | 16:20 |
| infinity | jbicha: I might be able to. I have my Own Work(tm) to get to today first, with exciting deadlines of "a week ago". | 16:22 |
| jbicha | I'm thinking the issue is triggered because I copied my monitors.xml from another computer or 2, no problems with that until mutter 3.25.91 | 16:27 |
| infinity | jbicha: Not so here. This monitors.xml came from a fresh install (of ... wily?) on this laptop, plus years of random use. Only external monitors ever attached would have been projectors. | 16:28 |
| infinity | Not exactly a complicated looking file either. Nor does it look obviously broken. | 16:29 |

| amano | "If you want to use another dock or run Ubuntu without a dock remove the dock with the command "sudo apt remove ubuntu dock" in a Terminal | 18:10 |
| amano | " | 18:10 |
| amano | something like that | 18:10 |
| amano | or rather this: "You can remove this extension with the packaging program. Type "sudo apt remove" in the Terminal | 18:18 |
| amano | " | 18:18 |
| amano | (well: "sudo apt remove ubuntu-dock" of course | 18:20 |
