* RAOF learns about the new (symver) dpkg-symbols modifier. Woot!02:32
dufluRAOF: What's that?02:45
RAOFTake the version of a symbol from the symbol version 😀02:46
RAOFSo, to pick a random example:02:47
RAOF(symver)MIR_SERVER_45 0.2502:47
RAOFTo make all those symbols resolve to a version dependency of >= 0.2502:48

colinlHi everyone!07:05
colinlduflu: I've updated the patch we were talking about yesterday :)07:05
colinland subscribed ubuntu-sponsors. I hope it'll go in (and upstream too!) :)07:06
duflucolinl, thanks. I'm not a sponsor myself, and I know the sponsors queue can be weeks deep. So it's good to get it in there early07:06
colinlI'm crossing fingers :)07:07
colinlTBH I already push my patched package to my users' desktops, but I'm sure that'll cause me more work as long as it's not upstreamed07:07
didrocksin the "fun bugs" style:07:25
didrocks- in a terminal, gnome-screenshot -a -> works as expected07:26
didrocksin the dock "quicklist" -> it doesn't07:26
seb128didrocks, do you debug it?07:47
seb128I can confirm, it's weird07:47
didrocksseb128: I don't right now, on other things07:50
didrocksseb128: it's the only option which isn't upstream btw07:50
seb128k, I'm poking a bit07:50
didrocksseb128: I wonder if it's related to "run in a terminal"07:50
seb128which one?07:50
didrocksthe "take a Screenshot of selected area" desktop entry07:50
seb128the take a screenshot of a win doesn't work either for me07:50
seb128in the context menu07:50
didrocksoh07:50
didrocksit did for me, or didn't?07:51
didrockslet me retry07:51
didrocksyou're right, I thought I saw the flash first07:51
didrocks(as it's really subtile clues that it's been taken07:51
didrocksok, so one upstream option doesn't work either07:51
didrockswould be easier to push on bugzilla thus :p07:52
didrocksseb128: could be related on a race grabbing something from wayland07:52
didrocksto*07:52
seb128could be07:52
seb128I'm looking at the env07:52
didrocksI would say try a "sleep 1 &&"07:52
didrocksjust to rule that out07:53
seb128the syslog has07:53
seb128gnome-screensho[9531]: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11.07:53
didrocks(unsure how you can reload the desktop file though without reloading the shell)07:53
didrockshum?07:53
didrocksand when ran on a terminal07:53
didrocksno message I guess?07:53
seb128no07:53
seb128maybe an env issue07:53
didrocksyeah07:53
seb128I think the action is dbus activated07:53
didrockswell, the shell should have all dbus env…07:53
didrocksbut yeah, good lead! :)07:53
willcookemorning07:57
didrockshappy friday willcooke07:59
seb128hey willcooke, happy friday08:00
seb128didrocks, no diff in the env, sleep delay doesn't make a difference08:00
Laneyahoy08:02
seb128hey Laney08:02
Laneyhey seb128, happy friday08:02
Laneywaht's up08:02
Laneywh08:03
Laneyat08:03
didrocksseb128: interesting… Have you tried Terminal=true? (maybe even on the main element for debugging as I don't know if that can be overriden per desktop action)08:03
didrockshey hey Laney08:03
seb128didrocks, let me keep looking a bit08:05
seb128Laney, it's friday!08:05
didrockseven *F*riday :)08:06
Laneyhey didrocks!!!08:06
didrocksfry day ? ;)08:06
Laneyah good old friday08:06
Laneymy friend08:06
* Laney has 999999999999 emails08:09
Laneyseems prodstack swift was a bit sad overnight08:10
didrockstesting thunderbird's limit?08:11
Laneyoho08:16
Laney*mutt* could deal with it easily :P08:16
didrocksanyone knows the difference between org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power button-power vs power-button-action?09:06
didrocks(we were already overriding the first one, the second seems to be the "new" one?)09:07
didrocksgreppingin g-s-d source code doesn't show up button-power09:08
seb128didrocks, those are old deprecated/removed in g-sd09:09
seb128didrocks, https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=50564cde09:09
didrocksah, making sense, so changing semantic and so removed09:10
Laneyones we kept for usd/ucc?09:10
didrockshum, I don't know if we depends on it for ucc09:10
* didrocks looks09:10
didrocksyep09:10
didrockswe still use them there09:10
Laneynod09:10
didrocksok, so just adding the new override09:10
Laneywe have a few reverts for dropped stuff like that09:10
didrocksI wonder if it worths adding to migration keys09:11
didrocksare it seems it's not a one to one09:11
didrocksmaybe doesn't worth it09:11
Laneymmm09:12
Laneythose reverts might be a good thing to look at generally though, nice idea09:12
seb128what migrated to what?09:12
Laneymaybe some others can be migrated sensibly09:12
didrocksfor our users button-power -> power-button-action09:12
Laneylike if gsd upstream dropped something and we kept it, see what it was dropped for, maybe something to migrate there09:13
didrocksLaney: unsure anyone have cycles to look at usd/ucc for those09:13
didrocksbut yeah, maybe some others can be migrated09:13
seb128power-button -> power-button-action?09:13
Laneyfine, that's just an idea09:13
seb128wfm09:13
seb128well they dropped it09:13
seb128then added back under another name09:13
seb128https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/commit/?id=69d9d8b09:13
seb128(go GNOME go)09:14
seb128so yeah migrationg makes sense09:14
didrockslet me look if the enum is the same09:14
Laneyhttps://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-settings-daemon/ubuntu/files/head:/debian/patches/ some more reverts in there09:16
didrocksthe enums are different09:17
didrocksand there isn't a one to one mapping09:18
didrockslet's override the default for now09:18
didrockswith interactive, as we discussed the other day09:18
seb128+109:19
seb128didrocks, the enum seems similar, there was just a logout action at the end which isn't there anymore09:20
seb128no?09:20
didrocksare you sure?09:20
didrocksI http://paste.ubuntu.com/25488815/09:21
didrockshave this ^09:21
didrocksthere is logout, the numbers don't match09:21
didrocksno more shutdown, a "blank" as well which was != from nothing09:21
seb128ah ok09:21
seb128didrocks, that's what I was looking at, http://paste.ubuntu.com/25488823/09:24
seb128so wrong thing I guess09:24
didrocksseb128: interesting that it doesn't match the enums schema file…09:25
seb128anyway I don't think there is much need to migrate09:25
seb128so yeah, interactive for all is good :-)09:25
didrocksyeah, I don't think it's the most important settings to migrate09:25
didrocks(and I'm not one telling that, note it down!)09:25
didrocks:p09:25
didrocks"that day"…09:25
didrocksok, pushing this for the ubuntu session09:26
didrocksTrevinho: hey, did you work (I don't remember if there is a branch you proposed on the gtk theme) about separators?09:30
didrockshttps://didrocks.fr/images/artful-shell-transition/dock_settings_finale.png09:30
didrocks-> I guess we are not supposed to have separators at all in the title bar09:31
seb128speaking of theme09:31
didrocks(next to settings, we can see one, same next to the minimize/maximize/close buttons)09:31
seb128does anyone else find that the spaces between items on the GNOME menus looks buggy09:31
seb128like in the shell appmenu and in the context menus on the launcher09:31
didrocks(actually, there are separators, but they are aligned)09:32
seb128it seems the same under adwaita (if I tested that correctly)09:32
didrocksyou meant the separators are taking a whole line?09:33
didrocksinstead of just separate?09:33
seb128https://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?tok=4ff128&media=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FImRfmSe.png09:33
seb128that ^09:33
seb128I mean there is like 1km space between sections09:34
seb128so yeah, maybe it's just one line09:35
seb128but lines are big09:35
seb128the space looks even bigger than a line of text09:35
didrocksyeah09:36
didrocksit seems like the separators are taking a while menu entry09:36
didrockswhole*09:36
didrocks(with the extra spaces between it, I think that's why it looks bigger)09:37
didrocksit didn't bug me much TBH, but I can see why you don't like it09:37
seb128let's see if we get more people thinking it's a bug09:37
didrocksflexiondotorg: hey! Once you get time, as you are working on the gtk theme, do you mind looking at the g-c-c alignement issue + double border on the side panel? ^09:40
willcookedidrocks, andyrock - the badge support for dock, is there a branch I can point to for the newsletter?09:51
seb128didrocks, so gnome-screenshot makes the dbus call telling the shell to take a screenshot but the shell doesn't do it, it works if I change the focus though09:51
seb128didrocks, seems like a shell bug/limitation09:52
seb128didrocks, the context menu "takes a grab" or some modern equivalent, or at least makes the screenshooting fail09:52
seb128the file is never creates on disk09:52
Trevinhodidrocks: in headerbar yes09:53
seb128which makes the screenshoting fail/display the "can't talk to shell" warning09:53
seb128the gerror is "can't open file"09:53
seb128which is the file shell is supposed to write09:53
didrockswillcooke: andyrock proposed it to dash to dock, but it's under review: https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/pull/59009:54
willcookedidrocks, perfect, thanks09:54
willcookegood work andyrock09:55
didrocksseb128: some of those options are upstream, correct?09:55
seb128didrocks, yes, https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-screenshot/tree/src/org.gnome.Screenshot.desktop.in#n2309:55
seb128in any case even if they were not, the issue is a shell one09:56
didrocksyeah09:56
* andyrock is working on the rest of api right now09:56
didrocksTrevinho: also, it seems that it doesn't really support people tweaking the button to the left: http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=350870Capturedcrande20170908114547.png10:01
Trevinhodidrocks: I remember I had that issue, but I think it's related to how that app is done...10:03
TrevinhoLike using two bars. Thus the issue10:03
didrocksTrevinho: would make sense, I told the guy to report it to bugzilla anyway10:04
flexiondotorg@didrocks: I'll get what I worked on landed and then look at g-c-c borders after.10:57
willcookeseb128, finally got round to reading the meeting notes from this week while writing the news letter - it's been a busy week!  Really exciting to see lots of fixes and improvements going in.  Thanks desktoppers, good work!11:13
Trevinho:)11:13
seb128willcooke, indeed :-)11:27
colinlhi!12:07
colinlare packages upstream versions already frozen for Artful ?12:08
Laneynot exactly, but we are bug fixing rather than introducing new features now, and there is a freeze in place enforcing that12:09
colinlthanks12:09
Laneyso it depends what is in the upstream version12:09
seb128colinl, what package are you looking after?12:10
colinlseb128: nothing special. I'm just in the process of fixing a few bugs we hit at work on Xenial, trying to work with upstream maintainers to get them integrated. I guess i'll file bugs with debdiffs once the patches will go in upstream :)12:10
colinland then SRU bugs for Xenial12:10
seb128colinl, that sounds like a good idea, bugfixes and fine for artful for a while12:15
colinlok :)12:15
colinlam I right in believing it's better to have my patches ack'd upstream before submitting them to Launchpad?12:16
jameshcolinl: as a general rule, we'd prefer to minimise the number of patches we need to maintain.12:18
jameshcolinl: when moving forward to a new upstream version, each of those patches could break and need to be fixed12:19
colinlcompletely understandable - that's why I'm trying to get them upstream too :)12:19
seb128yeah that's better12:19
seb128then cherrypicking to the package is fine12:19
jamesha backport patch is a lot simpler though: the way to port it forward is to delete it :-)12:19
colinlindeed :)12:19
colinlwell, I hope my patches will get some maintainer attention (it's sometimes hard in big projects :) )12:20
willcookeseb128, Laney - could you proof read the weekly newsletter when you get a mo?12:37
seb128sure12:39
dokowillcooke: who is responsible for firefox/thunderbird, at least in current development versions?12:46
seb128doko, nobody12:47
seb128which is an issue we know12:47
dokook, good =) doesn't help migration of the current packages ;p12:48
seb128right, patches/help are welcome12:49
seb128it's one of the reasons we want to drop some archs, cf -devel list discussion12:49
seb128though currently armhf is failing and that one needs fixing12:49
kenvandinechrisccoulson, when are we going to get firefox 55 in artful?13:26
dokokenvandine: ^^^ fix the armhf build ;-P13:37
kenvandinedoko, oh... :-p13:38
* kenvandine runs and hides13:38
dokohe really ran ...13:43
seb128kenvandine, somebody needs to fix it but we don't have a maintainer, you are welcome to give it a try13:43
kenvandinelol13:43
kenvandinei crashed gnome-shell somehow13:44
seb128though foundations said they would help to fix the armhf issue13:44
chrisccoulsoncan foundations take rust instead?13:44
seb128willcooke, can you copy/share it to me in some other way? I don't know where my ubikey is and my google auth is not working for some reason so I'm out of 2fa13:44
seb128chrisccoulson, that would be an idea :-)13:45
Laneywillcooke: the snaps section is a copy of last week's?14:05
willcookeLaney, yeah, I moved it while I was copy and pasting to wordpress14:05
willcookeI wont put it in the email14:05
willcooketa14:05
Laneyok14:06
LaneyI guess that's what the yellow thing is14:06
willcookeya14:07
Laneyk, that'll do pig14:18
willcooke:)14:19
dokochrisccoulson, seb128: I provided the initial packages for the backports. the agreement was that these would be maintained by the desktop team. you're already doing all the llvm backports for mesa anyway,14:50
jbichadidrocks: it looks like your prediction was right https://bugzilla.gnome.org/78744615:03
ubot5`Gnome bug 787446 in general "panel: Disable top bar transparency (by default)" [Normal,New]15:03
didrocksjbicha: yeah, I was expecting this to happen, seeing the time it took us to get good transparency/blur on Unity…15:25
seb128doko, I don't think desktop has been touching any of those packages in the recent cycles15:39
dokoseb128: sure, tjaalton does on a regular basis15:40
dokoor isn't he -desktopish?15:40
seb128doko, he isn't15:41
dokoohh, great15:42
tjaaltonnah, hwe15:45
willcookenight all, have a good one17:11
ahoneybunoh goodness no21:56
ahoneybunhttps://didrocks.fr/images/artful-shell-transition/new-theme-main-view.png21:56
ahoneybunwho thinks that looks good?21:57
jbichaahoneybun: please be more respectful22:04
jbichafwiw, there's a good chance the GNOME 3.26 top bar won't be translucent22:05
tsimonq2(imho it would look still being a little translucent but if it's darker than the panel :) )22:07
* acheronuk looks at his customised plasma 5 with transparent panels22:20
ahoneybunwith that wallpaper it does not look good with transparent22:27
GargoyleEvenin'22:28
GargoyleAnyone got any thoughts on why "gnome-software --gapplication-service" is running at 450% cpu?22:30
GargoyleThis is 17.10 with all the latest updates to about 10 mins ago.22:34
GargoyleActually, launching gnome software spins up another 4 processes and takes it to 750%22:35
