Trevinhoc-lobrano: you might wat to give a look to https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/ubuntu-themes/vertical-linked-buttons-tuning/+merge/33095802:28
dufluTrevinho, I found some of those buttons in gnome-maps too. But only after hacking the code (they are hidden behind the map :)02:32
Trevinhohi duflu02:32
dufluHello too, Trevinho02:33
Trevinhoduflu: yeah, I saw them.. and c-lobrano already fixed that case, but there were some issues when we had more than 2 elements and some sizes were wrong02:33
Trevinhoduflu: also, I was thinking about not using rotated BGs for :active state, but probably it's just better to rotate all the gradients02:34
Trevinhogive it a check by the way02:34
Trevinhoduflu: maps has also a probelm with bg of that elemnt.., but it seems more complicated to pick02:34
dufluTrevinho, ooops... seems the buttons behind the map is Wayland-specific02:35

GunnarHjHi Laney, saw the trello note about l-s. but for 17.10 I think that bug 1662031 should be given priority. It makes little sense to facilitate installing of additional languages if the users cannot switch between them.10:26

GunnarHjseb128, jbicha: Hi! Reminding of https://code.launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.artful_cjkv-fixes11:07
GunnarHjIf you think it's ok, I suppose it should be merged.11:07
GammaDraconisHello developper Team, why the iso dailybuild of Ubuntu Gnome (17.10) exist ? (I do not speak of Ubuntu but Ubuntu Gnome which was to disappear) ??11:07
seb128hey GunnarHj11:07
seb128GammaDraconis, because nobody stopped the build I guess, that's a question for darkxst or jbicha11:07
seb128didrocks, you plan an ubuntu dock upload right? what do you think about including http://paste.ubuntu.com/25571905/ ?11:19
c-lobranoTrevinho: lets say I'll use it to learn all the things I don't know yet :D11:22
seb128didrocks, or should I just dput that and you can rebase your upload then?11:23
seb128GunnarHj, if you believe that's a gdm bug then it might be useful to upstream it11:26
seb128Laney, could you get libreoffice/autopkgtest/i386 ignored (I never remember if I can do that myself and how)? it's not a regression but still the same kernel/java issue, the previous version already got forced in11:32
seb128Laney, (there was also a bug tagged to blog the migration which I just untagged)11:33
Laneyok, but what's the status of that issue / who is making sure it is worked?11:34
seb128Laney, kernel team had a fix uploaded which needed to be validated/migrated to updates/made available in the autopkgtest machine last time I checked, I should probably ping around about that again11:36
Laneycan you remind me of the bug number for my commit please?11:36
seb128sure, let me look11:38
Laneythx11:38
seb128Laney, bug #170069211:39
ubot5bug 1699772 in linux (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1700692 linux-image-4.10.0-24-generic, linux-image-4.8.0-56-generic, linux-image-4.4.0-81-generic, linux-image-3.13.0-121-generic Regression: many user-space apps crashing" [Critical,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/169977211:39
seb128ah, that's a duplicate, correct number in ^11:39
Laneynice one, done11:43
seb128thanks!11:44
GunnarHjseb128: I know that the bug is related somehow to GDM, since it's not present if I switch to LightDM, but I failed to spot the cause. It seems to happen at the start of the GNOME session,,,12:06
willcookejibel, when you get a mo, can you check a proposed Xenial?  When I commented in the meeting earlier about Chrome having a new theme, it seems my entire desktop has a new theme :)12:07
willcookejibel, I'm going to upgrade again and see if it goes away - so gimme an hour or so and I will reboot12:07
GunnarHjseb128: Upstream don't use ~/.pam_environment for setting locale variables. Possibly it works with vanilla GNOME.12:09
seb128GunnarHj, so changing language in gnome-control-center works? it's just in l-s which it doesn't?12:09
GunnarHjseb128: No, that's not it. Changing it in the sense that ~/.pam_environment is set, works both if you use g-c-c and l-s. The problem is that something is overriding the PAM set variables, and in the end the variables in /etc/default/locale get set for the user session.12:11
seb128GunnarHj, I've been changing language in g-c-c and it changes the strings in my session correctly12:12
seb128but I think it gets that config out of gsettings or something12:12
jibelwillcooke, yeah, just let me know what you want me to check12:13
GunnarHjseb128: It's been a while since I last tested. Please note that we have ubuntu specific patches in accountsservice and g-c-c, so gsettings shouldn't be involved.12:15
didrocksseb128: sure, I can include that, do you want me to push and you commit there?12:17
seb128didrocks, there is a vcs?12:17
seb128didrocks, if you can push for me that would be nice12:17

didrocksseb128: I think you didn't try your debdiff ;)13:12
seb128didrocks, I did but not in a pbuilder13:12
seb128I guess some extra build-depends are needed for the make pot?13:13
seb128like gettext?13:13
didrocksseb128: no, I'm surprised this passed for you even on your machine, the pot depends on prefs.js that we don't ship13:14

didrocksand you weren't testing the ubuntu-dock branch13:14
seb128no, there is no vcs info in the control13:15

didrocksthe link was in the best documented place: my blog though! :)13:15

didrocksno worry13:17
seb128thanks for fixing!13:17
didrocksthanks for the fix first!13:17
seb128btw no build-depends missing I think13:17
seb128dh-translations depends on intltool13:18

jibeltkamppeter, after a recent update of artful my printer stopped printing (canon mp210 usb) and there is this message in error_log "Can't detect file type / Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details"13:18
jibeltkamppeter, this is from error_log, how can I debug that?13:18
jibeltkamppeter, the file is just a pdf but I tried with a libreoffice doc too and same error13:18
tkamppeterFirst, make sure that your debug logging is in debug mode, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems section "CUPS error_log".13:21
tkamppeterjibel, ^^13:21
tkamppeterjibel, then try to print the job again and mail me the error_log.13:21
jibeltkamppeter, thanks, I enable it and report a bug13:21
jibelI will*13:22
tkamppeterjibel, another question: Do you have any other printer which works correctly?13:22
tkamppeterjibel, and for your Canon, are you using proprietary drivers from Canon or do you simply use what comes with Ubuntu?13:23
jibeltkamppeter, no I just have this one at the moment but it used to work pretty well. I use the drivers from Ubuntu13:27
jibeltkamppeter, after enabling debug mode from system-config-printer, the server do not start13:27
tkamppeterjibel, can you start it manually: "sudo systemctl start cups"?13:36
seb128didrocks, did you see bug #1715869, any opinion about that?13:49

jbichadidrocks: I think Unity used "Launcher placement". How about just "Placement"?14:01
jbichaoh, Launcher Placement was asking which screen you wanted it on14:02
didrocksjbicha: indeed14:03
* didrocks just had a flashback implementing that in 2010/2011 :p14:04
Laneydidrocks: seb128: position on screen is better to me14:21
seb128jbicha, what would you think about removing euronews and guardian from the grilo plugin? they don't list any working content (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771213 and guardian seems to at least require totem-pl-parser built with libqvui which we don't do, and even with that it seems to not work on fedora)14:25

tkamppeterjibel, problem is that your cups-filters and libqpdf are not corresponding.14:26
tkamppeterjibel, which version of libqpdf and which version of the cups-filters packages do you have installed?14:27
didrocksjbicha: seb128: tkamppeter: if you are working on the gnome-control-center change for printer, maybe roll the string change with it? (to not spam translation and documentation team too much with this)14:28
seb128didrocks, k14:28
seb128tkamppeter, current artful has cups-filter 1.17.5-1 and qpdf 7.0.0-114:29
jibelthanks seb128 :)14:29
seb128jbicha synced the new qpdf14:30
seb128jbicha, ^ did you screw up cups-filter by doing that? ;-)14:30
seb128what was the rational for the update?14:30
tkamppeterseb128, jibel, these should work together assuming that the soname did not increase from 7.0~b1 -> 7.0.0 of libqpdf.14:30
jibelI can try to downgrade qpdf14:31
seb128tkamppeter, seems it didn't14:31
seb128oh, wait14:31
seb128no, ignore that14:31
seb128tkamppeter, how/where would an incompatibility show?14:32
seb128tkamppeter, is your artful uptodate? does it work for you?14:32
tkamppeterIf not, cups-filters needs to get no-change-rebuilt, or I simply upload my yesterday-released 1.17.7 with some extra fixes.14:32
tkamppeterseb128, ldd /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftopdf14:32
tkamppeterseb128, jibel, I will prepare the 1.17.7 upload now ...14:33
seb128tkamppeter, the soname didn't change, are you sure a rebuild is going to fix it?14:34
jibeltkamppeter, I downgraded qpdf to 7.0~b1-0ubuntu1, printed to a pdf and it's fine (read not a blank page)14:35
seb128oh14:35

seb128* Performance:15:36
seb128  - TLDR: Still jumping between CPU fixes and smoothness fixes which are interacting with each other...15:36
seb128  - Prototyped and proposed the first fixes for GTK stuttering:15:36
seb128    . https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78766515:36
seb128  - The stutter bugs are blocking the CPU-halving fix to clutter-gtk/totem, which exaggerates the issues.15:36
ubot5Gnome bug 787665 in .General "gdk_frame_clock_get_frame_time is irregular and causing stuttering" [Normal,New]15:36
seb128  - Unfortunately this has revealed a new problem with the design of clutter's GDK backend -- If you modify it to perform efficiently per the design of wl_subsurface then it no longer gets accurate monitor timing info. It works OK (guessing 60Hz instead of 59.95Hz) but is not ideal, and does constitute a new regression that would occur as a result of fixing the high CPU problem. This is actually a design bug in clutter15:36
seb128(gdk<->clutter clock linking) more than anything else, so is difficult to fix and a difficult conversation with upstream for later.15:36
seb128  - I will certainly still be working on this in New York next week.15:37
seb128* Daily bug management across gnome-shell, mutter, gdm, ubuntu-themes, bluez, pulseaudio, dkms and mir.15:37
seb128* Travel planning and preparation. My flight departs about the same time as this meeting. I am now traveling and on vacation briefly. Catch you next week...15:37

jbichayes, it's a team effort for the release notes :)16:00
seb128Laney, no?16:00

Laneyhttp://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-aa-incoming-bug-tasks.html16:01
seb128ah, yes16:01
seb128we should probably tag things as well16:01
seb128that list is short compared to the things we need to fix16:01
didrockscan we freely tag what we put on the list? /me can do with the important bugs I have in mind tomorrow16:02
Laneysure, but things already on there need to be triaged and assigned16:02
Laneythe idea is that you nominate them or tag rls-aa-notfixing16:02
seb128right16:02
jbichaso we should add that tag to bugs that look important to fix before release?16:02
Laneythen they go to http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-aa-tracking-bug-tasks.html and get fixed ...16:02
seb128thanks for pointing that out Laney16:02
Laneyyes16:02
jbichaor we can nominate a bug to artful directly if we have permissions, right?16:03
seb128it should still be tagged to be listed?16:03
Laneyi think the nomination alone is enough16:04
seb128ok16:04
seb128that was a good reminder16:04
Laneybut jbicha shouldn't really be assigning work to the desktop team so the incoming procedure is appropriate16:04

seb128Laney, sounds like a topic for next monday as we review trello boards/plans/etc?16:05
seb128or would you prefer to do it before that?16:05
Laneyi don't think we have so many work days left this cycle16:05
seb128right, which is a bit of a shame16:05
seb128I'm going to have a first pass on the list/tag some bugs tomorrow16:05
seb128Laney, do you think we should have a collective review, or maybe just go through, assign/close the ones that are obvious and bring on the channel for the others?16:06
LaneyI think everything should get assigned to someone and then we should look at incoming / tracking each meeting16:06
seb128+116:07
Laneynot sure16:07

codygarvercan I expect artful to soon pick up the new release of `hicolor-icon-theme`? it only has 1 change, improved hidpi support16:37
codygarverit landed in sid earlier this month16:39
jbichacodygarver: that update is blocked because it appears to make this test fail: http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/p/plasma-framework/artful/amd6416:43
codygarverthanks! if I'm reading this right, this failure is some warning `cc1: warning: command line option ‘-std=c++11’ is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C`16:45
codygarverwonder why16:46
codygarveroh wait no, it's `dialognativetest` in the log from the artifacts16:47
Laneynight fam17:05
tkamppeterjbicha, did you see my last e-mails?17:16
jbichatkamppeter: the one recommending I install cups-pdf?17:20
xnoxLaney, please find an asignee to complete this - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+source/unity-scopes-api/+bug/171825417:29
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1718254 in unity-scopes-api (Ubuntu Artful) "please drop url-dispatcher dependencies" [Critical,New]17:29
jbichaGunnarHj: hi, these language seed changes (in general) are difficult for me to understand17:36
jbichahttps://code.launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.artful_cjkv-fixes/+merge/32985717:36
jbichaare you planning to do a language-selector upload to match that? ^17:36
jbichaI thought the general thinking is that for select languages including zh we would provide everything that l-s  would install for that language17:38
jbichabut zh still has fcitx17:39
jbicha*we would provide on the live iso17:40
GunnarHjjbicha: Sorry, unreliable internet connection - back now18:19
willcookenight all18:22
amanoTrevinho, is there a bug for the "close documents" "x" in libreoffice18:49
amanothat is not themed and looks buggy18:50
GunnarHjjbicha: Hmm.. I see now that my reply didn't make it before I was disconnected. Trying again:19:10
GunnarHjImportant to keep in mind that pkg_depends in language-selector is used by the flavors too, and AFAIK they haven't switched from Fcitx to IBus for CJKV. So to not break things, language-selector needs to pull both Fcitx and IBus, which it currently does, so I see no need to change anything there. This is obviously a clumsy solution for CJKV users on Ubuntu (Fcitx packages are installed unnecessarily), but that's the way I think19:10
GunnarHjwe must go ATM.19:10
jbichaGunnarHj: could you ask didrocks about that issue? maybe just email the ubuntu-desktop list19:11
TrevinhoAmpelbein: yes, also a proposed fix from c-lobrano, the problem is that LO doesn't allow to filter windows properly in order to have a css selector that is unique for it19:13
GunnarHjjbicha: How about adding him as a reviewer on the MP and add the above comment.19:13
jbichathat works too. I believe he was one of the drivers for shipping complete language support on the ISOs19:14
TrevinhoAmpelbein: sorry I wanted to reply to amano19:15
c-lobranoamano, which LO version are you using?19:17
GunnarHjjbicha: Right, but aren't you mixing up two different things now? AFAIK that was about language support for the biggest languages. The issue at hand is IM packages for all CJKV languages.19:17
GunnarHjjbicha: In a sense they are related, since Simplified Chinese is included in both groups. But the MP suggests that the IBus packages are seeded in the desktop file.19:20
jbichait used to be that language-selector would show a popup asking you to install additional stuff for full language support and I think the idea is not show that prompt even when the user installs without internet access for the few langs we support19:20
jbichabut there's probably a good argument to not have fonts-noto-cjk-extra on the iso because of its size and maybe fcitx now too19:21
jbichabut I'm not the one that needs to be convinced here ;)19:21
GunnarHjjbicha: Agreed. Ok, now I think I understand your point. To comply with that idea, we'd need to keep the Fcitx packages in desktop.19:22
jbichasorry, that you've found several complicated issues this cycle :| but I appreciate you working on it and pinging about it :)19:22
GunnarHjjbicha: Aha, yes, I took for granted that we should tread fonts-noto-cjk-extra specially.19:23
GunnarHjjbicha: It's the kind of stuff I'm usually involved in. ;)19:24
GunnarHjjbicha: But I tend to think that, in order to prevent the "missing lang support" pop-up from showing up for Simplified Chinese installs, we should *not* move the Fcitx packages from desktop to supported, but keep them in desktop.19:26
GunnarHjjbicha: Or rather "live"...19:27
seb128it doesn't make sense to keep fcitx if it can't be used though19:27
jbichayes if that's what we want19:27
GunnarHjseb128, jbicha: The problem is that pkg_depends is used by the flavors too, which keep Fcitx as default IM framework for CJKV.19:29
jbichaGunnarHj: shouldn't you conditionalize fcitx in pkg/data_depends then to only be installed for those desktops?19:29
jbichalike how the calligra translations are installed if the calligra library is already installed19:30
GunnarHjjbicha: The mechanism implemented to conditionalize in pkg_depends is to state a package. Is there a common denominator for all flavors but vanilla Ubuntu?19:30
GunnarHjjbicha: Maybe I could add a hack to the python program which parses it...19:32
jbichayou can't repeat a line? using something like caja-common, kdelibs5-data, etc. for all the different flavors?19:34
GunnarHjjbicha: Don't think so, but need to look at the code to be sure.19:34
jbichaif that all works, there may not be any reason to keeping fcitx in supported either at this time19:37
GunnarHjseb128, jbicha: Is it really true that Fcitx can't be used at all? I think we have reasons to assume that many CJKV users, who have started to use Fcitx, want to keep doing so, even if g-c-c doesn't support it.19:37
seb128GunnarHj, afaik fcitx currently doesn't work under wayland which is our default session19:38
seb128also there is no gnome-shell integration19:38
GunnarHjseb128: I know that was the case. Still not fixed?19:39
jbichaso I think universe is appropriate: we're not saying they can't install it if they want19:39
seb128not that I know19:39
jbichaour fcitx packages haven't been updated this cycle19:39
seb128https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/Todo-List still has it as in progress19:40
GunnarHjseb128, jbicha: Ok, I'll look at a way to make l-s not pull Fcitx in Ubuntu.19:40
GunnarHjseb128, jbicha: Where is Aron nowadays?19:41
seb128he's on this channel19:41
seb128I think he's working on kylin but I'm not sure19:42
GunnarHjhappyaron: Any thoughts on ^ ?19:42
jbichahe prepared UKUI packages for Debian recently19:42
tkamppeterjbicha, still there?20:09
jbichayes20:22
tkamppeterjbicha, I mean the e-mail where I have asked you for you to do the patch, as once I did never do any change on any GNOME program, and second, the extra button does not more than simply launch s-c-p in its own window, for testing this no printer is required.20:27
tkamppeterjbicha, the hint with installing cups-pdf is mainly for taking a screenshot with a non-empty printer list.20:28
jbichatkamppeter: at today's Desktop meeting, didrocks volunteered to work on that patch tomorrow20:28
tkamppeterjbicha, great, thanks for the info.20:29
jbichaunless you got to it sooner ;)20:29
tkamppeterNo, I am not working on this, didrock is probably much, much faster with it as he is working on GNOME apps every day.20:30
jbichait sounds like it could be a good opportunity for you to expand your skills?20:30
tkamppeterBut now there is not much time for me as I am departing for NYC tomorrow afternoon and next week we have the Sprint.20:31
jbichathe Printer panel in our default desktop sounds like something that is related to your field of expertise ;)20:31
jbichaok20:31
tkamppeterjbicha, only that I have contributed to s-c-p which is in Python and there I also have only done the algorithms for printing-related decision making, not the GUI.20:33
tkamppeterjbicha, such things as finding out whether printers discovered by different CUPS backends are actually the same physical device or which driver is the best for a given printer.20:35
tkamppeterjbicha, these parts are even re-used g-c-c as it uses s-c-p's D-Bus service.20:36
jbichayes, part of s-c-p lives on, but the gui part isn't used by default in most of the big distros now20:37
tkamppeterOK, so the GUI which needs to be maintained principally is the one of g-c-c and the one of s-c-p could be faded out sooner or later?20:54
tkamppeterjbicha, perhaps I should run a GSoC project in 2018 which turns s-c-p's D-Bus service into a C library and another which adds all functionality missing in the g-c-c GUI but present in s-c-p? WDYT?20:56
tkamppeterjbicha, the lib would be GUI-toolkit-independent and hosted at OpenPrinting and all desktops (GNOME/GTK, KDE/Qt, ...) would use this lib.20:58
jbichaI think the hope is that the s-c-p button we're adding be a temporary workaround that we'd try to not need for 18.04 LTS21:27
jbichaGSOC 2018 would be too late for that goal21:27
jbichathe tricky part about "adding all functioinality missing" is that we need to work with the GNOME designers who maybe don't want all those settings there21:28
tkamppeterOK.21:36
tkamppeterjbicha, so my idea is more some long-term idea.21:36
jbichatkamppeter: cups-filter is blocked on cups autopkgtest http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/c/cups/artful/amd6423:36
