jibelalthough I've a crash of evince when I print a specific document but I don't think it's related06:13
oSoMoNsalut didrocks06:13
seb128jibel, can you share the document?06:13
seb128at least privately?06:13
jibelsure06:13
seb128thanks06:13
jibelseb128, in your inbox06:17
seb128jibel, thanks, I can confirm the segfault06:21
seb128let me look a bit at the stacktrace/get debug info06:21
seb128jibel, that nautilus segfault is specific to videos?06:36
jibelseb128, I couldn't reproduce with other types06:37
seb128thanks06:37
seb128indeed I can confirm06:37
jibelseb128, there is a reference to vaapi in the trace06:37
seb128well I just did it on a mp306:37
jibeldidn't crash for me with an mp306:37
seb128so I think it's a bug in the totem extension06:37
seb128ah06:38
seb128well it does for me06:38
seb128I'm going to assume it's the same bug in totem06:38
seb128well at least start from that one and then test with videos06:38
jibelthere is a similar crash in shotwell06:57
seb128jibel, when doing what?07:07
jibelseb128, reported in LP07:12
jibelI didn't try to reproduce it yet07:12
seb128k07:13
jibelin a call right now, i'll come back to it later07:13
jibelseb128, actually I just opened shotwell under wayland and it crashed07:16
seb128jibel, evince segfault reported upstream as https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10292207:18

seb128oh07:32
seb128could be videos there as well07:32
* seb128 going to try that a bit later07:32
seb128but I need to step out for some hours, shifting those to the evening today07:33
jibelseb128, I uploaded the crash to bug 1718595 lets see if it 's the same trace07:33

jibelthere used to be a setting to start a vpn automatically when a specific connection comes up. Where is it?08:35
jibelI cannot find it in the network or vpn settings08:35
Trevinhoseb128: so, Laney suggested to remove the s390x nux/unity build from the archive...08:42
Trevinhohey by the way :-)08:42
Trevinhoseb128: you can do that or who can?08:44
* didrocks needs to add multiple 'Add printers button' as the g-c-c panel is using a gtkstack08:45
didrockswaow, system config printer is buggy in term of refresh with our theme08:46
didrocksdrawing artefacts and such08:46
didrocksah, the language support button isn't aligned right, let's ensure we align right all additional buttons as I suggested08:53
* didrocks cleans up the .ui patch as well for language support08:53
didrocks(useless placeholders)08:54
Trevinhodidrocks: hey, you can also help with removal of nux/unity builds for s360x? :)09:02
didrocksTrevinho: sure, did you check all rdepends?09:02
didrocksjust open a bug and list all binary packages that needs to be removed please :)09:03
Trevinhodidrocks: yeah, it only has unity09:03
Trevinhowell or... unity itself let me see09:03
didrocksTrevinho: still, list all binaries package, there is libunity-core* and so on, please09:04
Trevinhodidrocks: on what project?09:05
didrocksTrevinho: whatever, can against unity source package09:05
TrevinhoIt was probably just easier to disable the tests :-D09:05
didrocksand add all binary packages, ensuring there is no rdepends09:05
Trevinhoehm, less time consusming09:05
didrocksas you wish, but I need to list them all to remove them09:06
didrocksso, be nice to the person who is going to remove them :p09:06

oSoMoNwhen I upgrade my artful amd64 VM (vbox, was up-to-date yesterday), the VM boots but gdm fails to display the login screen09:30
didrocksoSoMoN: the french forums report it's since the kernel upgrade to 4.13.0-11-12, maybe try downgrading it?09:45
oSoMoNdidrocks, thanks, trying that09:46
jibeloSoMoN, try to disable wayland in gdm09:50
Trevinhodidrocks: yes I did but... Some are all09:51
TrevinhoTrevinho: thanks by the way09:51
TrevinhoLol09:51
oSoMoNjibel, how do I do that? I don't have a login screen, can't select a session09:51
Trevinhodidrocks: thanks to you :-)09:52
jibeloSoMoN, boot in recovery and uncomment #WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf09:53
oSoMoNjibel, ack, trying to downgrade (or rather not upgrade from my previous snapshot) the kernel first, then I'll try that09:56
oSoMoNdidrocks, not upgrading the kernel works09:57
didrocksI guess you can drop a line on #ubuntu-kernele :p09:58

Trevinhosil2100: hey https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2892 needs to be published but it doesn't go through because of missing build in s390x. We removed it from the archive, but still status gives errors09:59
jibeldidrocks, back to the keybindings topic from yesterday ccsm has little to do in the story. I did a fresh zesty install, applied all the updates, upgraded to artful and all the keybindings from unity7 are preserved and considered non-default under gnome-shell10:19
jibeldidrocks, eg ctrl+super+up/down to maximize/restore instead of super+up/down10:19
didrocksjibel: interesting, can you look if the keys are considered as default before the upgrade (and then after the upgrade?)10:20
didrocksjibel: there is nothing I know of (maybe Unity/Compiz does?) writing those keys10:20
didrocksTrevinho: you may know? ^10:20
sil2100Trevinho: hm, are those really removed from the archive?10:20
sil2100Trevinho: I don't see any publishing history that would point that either nux or compiz got removed for s390x from artful10:22
didrockssil2100: they, were but indeed, no publishing history for the removal, see bug #171861510:25

sil2100hm, I think bileto is taking the info from LP so maybe it's still a bit too soon for Bileto10:26
sil2100Maybe it'll notice once LP notices10:27
sil2100Let's give it some more time10:28
sil2100btw. last time I remember we wanted to remove unity etc. from s390x there was some opposition (can't remember what though)10:28
GargoyleFound a sneaky bug. Might be able to fill out a proper bug report later with some guidance, but thought I would see if anyone else can recreate.11:24
GargoyleIn settings->devices->printers, click the settings icon for a printer and choose "details". The details "modal" opens with virtually no title bar. making it almost impossible to close.11:25
GargoyleI was just about able to right click on the 2 or 3 pixels of menu bar and choose close.11:26

seb128andyrock, hey, what urgent notifications?11:33
seb128Trevinho, sorry I have shifted hours today, seems like others helped you with the archive bits though?11:35

andyrockit's not so used11:45
andyrockand I don't think it's high priority11:45

Gargoylejbicha, Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can add anything useful to that bug.12:36
GargoyleIs there another bug to say that printing just doesn't work full stop?13:11
dokois there a way to align the workspaces horizontally?13:12
jibelGargoyle, it should be working today. Make sure you have the latest version of cups-filters13:16

ubot5Launchpad bug 1718643 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Inability to move child dialogues separate from parent applicaitons" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/171864313:48
seb128jbicha, I know13:48
seb128jbicha, still, if users think it's a buggy behaviour they should tell upstream13:49
seb128the feedback might lead upstream to think their design has a flaw if that's the case13:49
seb128which can't happen without feedback13:49
jbichaI don't think that's very useful here… but ok13:49
seb128yeah, bug trackers might not be the best place to give feedback on the experience13:50
seb128but we don't have a better place for that?13:50
seb128feel free to redirect them to a mailing list if you think it's more appropriate13:50
seb128jbicha, anyway I don't care much either way, my rational was just to try to provide feedback to upstream when users think there is a problem with how things are designed13:52
jbichain this case, I think the behavior is so fundamental to GNOME that it's unlikely to be changed there13:53
seb128they can't wontfix it, it's fine13:53
seb128can*13:53
jibeltoday my screen is not locked on resume from suspend, anyone else experienced this?13:56
seb128I don't13:57
jibelhmm, sept. 21 15:54:56 herm gnome-shell[2358]: Screen lock is locked down, not locking13:57
jibelfrom the journal13:57
oSoMoNseb128, jibel : I'm seeing the LO snap crash when exporting a presentation to pdf, and there's a cairo_surface_destroy assertion failed message in the console just before the crash, wondering if that could be related to the bug you filed earlier this morning?13:59
oSoMoNI need to debug it further anyway14:00
seb128oSoMoN, could be, difficult to say without at least a backtrace14:00
oSoMoNyup, I'll try to get one14:01
jibeldisable-lock-screen is set to false, everything looks normal, weird14:01
seb128jibel, well the message suggests that it thinks the screen is locked when it's not?14:01
seb128GNOME 3.26 is a bit of a disaster :-/14:01
jibelseb128, yes something along the line, or that it is disabled14:02
jibelwhich is not the case14:02
seb128next cycle we should perhaps avoid the new version14:02
jibeland obviously not locked since I'm typing :)14:02
jbichaseb128: the biggest problems are gnome-shell and gnome-control-center; unfortunately those are key parts of new GNOME versions :(14:02
seb128seems like they didn't really ramp up their quality since we switched14:02
seb128jbicha, right, gnome-shell especially those segfault, resolution changes being dismissed14:03
jbichaother apps generally are fine14:03
jibelgnome-shell and gnome-control-center top 2 on errors.u.c in terms of crashes14:03
seb128it's even over me how they can release a "stable version" with those issues14:03
seb128especially in a wayland world14:03
seb128where a g-s segfault takes your session down14:04
seb128they should really care more about fixing bugs or at least keep on top of what gets reported14:04
seb128anyway14:04
seb128</rant>14:04
jibelyeah, now I switch to a vt first, start byobu, then log in gnome-shell and connect to the terminal, otherwise it brings everything down on crahs14:04
jibelnext cycle we should only focus on stability14:05
seb128and stay away from gnome-shell updates14:05
seb128I wonder what would be the right venue to tell them they have a quality problem and that they should get on it14:06
jbichaGNOME devs hate it when we mix & match GNOME versions but there are good reasons…14:06
seb128right14:07
jbichaI wish GNOME did LTS releases14:12
mdeslaurhttps://www.sudosatirical.com/articles/local-man-claims-gnome-is-root-cause-of-world-problems/14:12
jbichaalthough that can backfire a bit for initial stability as devs rush to cram features in at the last moment14:12
seb128jibel, did you confirm that "wayland doesn't work in vm with new kernel" issue?14:19
seb128like is that impacting everyone?14:19
seb128is that specific to vms?14:19
jbichaat least GNOME 3.28 will still target mozjs52 so that's one less thing changing14:19
seb128right14:21

oSoMoNlet's see if the feedback is good enough to promote to stable sometime next week16:12
oSoMoNchrisccoulson, chromium-browser fails to build in artful because of changes in glibc, I have a patch for those, let me push that to a PPA near you16:32
oSoMoNactually it's gonna have to be 61.0.3163.91, the latest stable16:34
oSoMoNchrisccoulson, chromium-browser 61.0.3163.91-0ubuntu1.1374 currently building in https://launchpad.net/~osomon/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-stable/+packages , it should be safe to copy to artful-proposed as I've already tested that patch against the beta and dev branches, and the build is already past the point where it failed17:15

Trevinhosil2100: Laney tried to publish it actually (https://bileto.ubuntu.com/log/2892/publish/2/), but it failed... Should I clearout the silo or are there other tricks?18:11
