kozaduflu, there is a new trailer of Star Wars already available and I have a trailer of the next season 'Ubuntu vs Headsets' series, behold: "paź 10 08:50:56 fyke pulseaudio[2443]: [pulseaudio] module-bluez5-device.c: Refused to switch profile to a2dp_sink: Not connected"; Something to fill the cold and snowy winter evenings ;-)07:01
duflukoza, yeah one or two open bugs for such issues still. Also winter ended 6 weeks ago :)07:02

didrocksgood morning07:25
dufludidrocks, morning. I'm about to attach a distro patch for font hinting etc07:33
didrocksduflu: do you think we could get an upstream review on it first?07:38
seb128good morning desktopers07:38
didrocksduflu: or are you very confident on it?07:38
dufludidrocks: Been waiting a day for upstream so far07:38
dufluMorning seb12807:38
didrocks(I think as we are in sync with mutter, some people won't be happy to diverge from debian)07:38
didrocksseb128: thoughts? ^07:38
seb128Trevinho, hey, thanks for fixing bug #171286607:38
ubot5bug 1712866 in gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (Ubuntu) "icons from qt applications disappear after screen lock/sleep" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/171286607:38
dufludidrocks, I don't mind if it waits for 18.04. The task is basically done07:39
Trevinhoseb128: it's not the nicest way, as the apps are bugged (so they were also in unity7, to be fair, but the bug didn't show because we didn't stop the shell)... But at least07:39
didrocksduflu: ok, let's wait, I think the extra css change is good enough for 17.1007:39
seb128didrocks, we can see with jbicha, I'm not really getting annoyed by such graphical issues so I would tend to say it doesn't need to be fixed on the iso but if others think we should we can cherry pick tomorrow07:39
didrocksTrevinho: upstream already answered btw :)07:40
didrocksseb128: yeah, I think we mitigate the issue with my "fix"07:40
seb128didrocks, good enough for me07:40
dufluAlso, gnome upstream is a couple of months behind on my other patches. I don't expect them to be fast07:40
didrocksduflu: maybe nag them on IRC?07:40
didrocksI'm afraid that's the only way it works07:41
didrocksTrevinho: it looks weird to add copyright on files you didn't change btw :)07:41
dufludidrocks, no need. I've actually forgotten most of what's pending. Will wait until they wake up07:41
dufluSome day07:41
Trevinhodidrocks: oh, yeah, I forgot to remove those in fact07:41
Trevinhodidrocks: as I changed them in another commit.... but..07:41
Trevinholet me fix it07:41
seb128didrocks, did you understand the copyright comment?07:41
seb128didrocks, did he meant that the copyright was changed in files we didn't contribute to?07:41
seb128it's weirdly worded07:42
didrocksseb128: I think that's this part, indeed07:42
didrocksbut I'm unsure07:42
dufludidrocks, nice that the shell menus, dialogs and even the login screen is fixed too07:44
seb128duflu, unsure why you need more details on bug #1722258? it's pretty easy to confirm and the apport info are not very useful afaik07:45
ubot5bug 1722258 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Available wifi networks are not sorted by signal strength" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/172225807:45
seb128duflu, also if you can confirm bug #1722256 maybe you can upstream it? here it only displays a "?" when there is a captive portal07:46
ubot5bug 1722256 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Wifi connection status icon shows a "?" when connected" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/172225607:46
dufluseb128, to prove to future readers of the bug that it pertains to 17.1007:47
duflu(since so many people still log gnome-shell bugs against 16.04 and 17.04)07:47
seb128duflu, well the bug was filed with apport and has that info, " DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10"07:48
dufluseb128, the "?" was in a haze of jetlag. Might have only been captive portals but I thought I saw it on my home network too07:48
dufluseb128, no it wasn't filed with apport. He added that on my request07:48
seb128I think I saw it once when I was online/not blocked by a portal but I can't reproduce07:48
seb128duflu, oh, you edited the description to include the apport info later, I see07:49
dufluseb128, no, apport-collect edits the description07:49
seb128ah07:49
seb128I didn't know that :-)07:49
dufluSometimes multiple times if you're not careful07:50

GargoyleOh, it's private.07:58
GargoyleDo I need to change that, or can the required people still access? (I assume because some of the debug stuff could contain private data from RAM, etc)08:00

dufluGargoyle, Strangely I can still see it while Private now. So that's good.08:05
Trevinhoduflu: interesting.. thanks.08:06
Gargoyleduflu, ok.08:06
Trevinhoduflu: I'm just a bit confused about the fact of using "org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings" for this...08:10
TrevinhoI guess it should be put somewhere in a more generic place, then gsd or mutter will use the same08:10
dufluTrevinho, yeah ignore the name. It's what GTK does for Wayland, and what the wikis mention too08:10
Trevinhoduflu: since in a wayland session gsd isn't considered at all for such things08:11
dufluAlso that's what gnome-tweak-tool uses08:11
dufluTrevinho, well, your GTK apps for Wayland are using it :)08:11
Trevinhoyeah... I mean, I guess it's the good moment to move all this somewhere in a place that is generic08:11
dufluTrevinho, that's a big can of worms. The schema name is hardcoded in countless projects08:11
dufluMoving it is a very difficult long term thing08:12

dufluTrevinho, OK, not so many if you only count Gnome. :)08:15

dufluandyrock, although that crash is for Xorg sessions only10:05
dufluat least some good news10:05
andyrockI think it's due to dash-to-dock10:05
dufluandyrock, check out the yellow graph10:05
andyrockthere is a call to global.sync_pointer();10:05
andyrockI guess we can avoid the crash inside ... sync_pointer10:06
andyrockbut upstream will ask us to fix the problem in dash-to-dock10:06

heberHey! QA Status:14:41
heber* Daily triaging14:41
heber* More upgrade tests (update-manager crashes on wayland, synaptics -> libinput transition, migration script failure)14:41
heber* Moved private desktop dashboard to desktop.kpi.canonical.com14:41
heber* Added ISO size to the main dashboard14:41
jameshseb128: for the second one, the short term fix might be to just #ifdef out the auth dialog support in gnome-software: a real fix would require snapd changes that probably won't make it14:41
heber* Tested support for policy kit for snap packages in gnome-software14:41
heber* Wrote test plan for the policy kit support for snap packages14:41
heber* Implement DBUS service for gnome integration tests14:41
heber* Implement test runner for gnome integration tests14:41

kenvandine* Did a round of manual testing on all our GNOME snaps in the edge channel and promoted them to stable.14:43

didrocksTrevinho: want to discuss theme thus?15:07
Trevinhodidrocks: ok15:07
didrocksTrevinho: as told, from your 2 proposals, I like the second one you did last Friday15:08
didrocksbut15:08
Trevinhodidrocks: the one I didn't push eventually? :)15:08
didrocksthe titlebar (not headerbar) needs to be a little bit lighter IMHO15:08
didrocksyep15:08
didrockswell15:08
didrocksthe last one in the ppa15:08
didrocksI feel that the top bar + headerbar is working well15:09
Trevinhoah, since I shown one screenshot here, but it wasn't the one I pushed then, it was a bit different15:09
didrocksI'm running the ppa since Friday15:09
Trevinhoto avoid changing the look of classic menubars15:09
didrocks(well, wget it)15:09
didrocksso unsure if you updated it or not15:09
Trevinho(of course)15:09
Trevinhonope15:09
Trevinhoby lighter you mean that it should be ligher in the top side or bottom side?15:10
didrockstop side, I find it in traditional title bar (not headerbar) like a strong dark flat thingy15:10
didrockslet me screenshot15:10
TrevinhoAs I'd prefer to keep the bottom color the same of it was before in order to be the same of other widgets that could be there (like menubars)15:10

didrockstoo late15:10
didrocksTrevinho: https://imgur.com/a/rwfV615:11
didrocksI find the top part of the title bar to be really dark, and it's jumping on my eyes (contrary to the headerbar)15:11
didrocksjust added the headerbar screenshot as well for those interested15:12
oSoMoNseb128, Ray suggested a solution on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788552 , I’ll give it a try15:14
ubot5Gnome bug 788552 in general "Ensure wayland -> xorg fallback to the corresponding session" [Normal,New]15:14
Trevinhodidrocks: ah ok... quite agree... let me hack the color a bit15:16
didrocksoSoMoN: seb128: /!\ it means we'll need to change the ubuntu-xorg session thus as well. I'm unsure as we can't transition people already running the beta and selecting xorg they won't be upgraded on a random session now15:17
didrocksor we need a gdm migration patch15:17
didrockswhich sounds… risky at this point15:17
didrocksTrevinho: \o/15:17
seb128oSoMoN, great15:18
seb128didrocks, :-(15:19
oSoMoNdidrocks, isn't that an acceptable breakage, given it's only a beta?15:24
didrocksoSoMoN: I don't really like breaking people knowingly, we can have a small distro patch to rename the picked up session I guess in the code that we'll drop next cycle15:25
oSoMoNcan be done, indeed15:26
didrocksonly hardcode 2: gnome-xorg and ubuntu-xorg and change the string to "gnome" and "ubuntu" IMHO15:27
didrocksshould be a 2 liners (3 with the free :p)15:27
didrocksIMHO15:27
Trevinhodidrocks: so this was the one I showed here...15:28
Trevinhohttps://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/2BDAxsbR/15:28
didrocksTrevinho: that's not the last patch, correct?15:29
Trevinhodidrocks: no15:29
didrocksTrevinho: I guess for titlebar, that's fine, keep the headerbar as it is though, please15:29
Trevinhoit's 1.5, which I didn't push :)15:29
Trevinhoheaderbar isn't touch15:29
jbichaoSoMoN: the ubuntu-settings package will need to be updated for the imagemagick .desktop hack if the sessions aren't ubuntu and ubuntu-xorg15:30
Trevinhodidrocks: or even lighter bottom15:33
Trevinhohttps://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/DLQ4KFP5/15:33

oSoMoNjbicha, the sessions will remain ubuntu and ubuntu-xorg, but the X fallback for the "ubuntu" wayland session will be named "ubuntu" too, and "ubuntu-xorg" will be visible in wayland only15:38
kenvandinejbicha, it used the messaging menu not libappindicator15:38
* kenvandine comments on the bug15:38
oSoMoNjbicha, so IIUC your ubuntu-settings patch, it won't need updating15:38
* oSoMoN goes parenting, back later for some gdm fun15:43
Trevinhodidrocks: ok, pushed, rebuilding now15:49
didrocksTrevinho: nice!15:51
jackpot51Can we talk about this patch again? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/169921616:39
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1699216 in gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) "Encrypted home support" [Wishlist,Confirmed]16:39
jackpot51I just saw a new accountsservice show up, superseding my patches for encrypted home.16:40
jackpot51Here is a debdiff of the patch I want to keep in accountsservice, one that allows gnome-initial-setup and gnome-control-center to support Encrypted Home https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1699216/+attachment/4945507/+files/accountsservice_encrypt_home.debdiff16:40
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1699216 in gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu) "Encrypted home support" [Wishlist,Confirmed]16:40
jackpot51GunnarHj and others would you mind taking a look?16:42
seb128jackpot51, sounds a bit late in this cycle for such changes16:44
jackpot51All I want is the accountsservice patch, so we don't have to hold a forked accountsservice16:47
jbichawe never found anyone willing to review the accountsservice patch :(16:52
jackpot51Well, every time accountsservice gets updated in Ubuntu, I get fucked. Why? Because I cannot rename the package.16:53
jackpot51So I am probably going to have to drop the patches for encrypted home entirely16:53
jbichaonce Ubuntu 17.10 is released, any SRUs for accountsservice will have to age in -proposed for at least 7 days first. That gives you time to update your PPA.16:56
jackpot51Ok, that would be good16:56
jackpot51Many users are getting pop-gnome-initial-setup removed if they dist-upgrade16:57
jackpot51It doesn't break their systems, but it introduces a significant amount of maintenance work16:58
GunnarHjHi jackpot51, sorry if you felt ignored by my accountsservice upload. That was not my intention.17:54
GunnarHjI have noticed your patches previously, but unfortunately they are too complex for me to review. The change I uploaded was a trivial one, and that's what I do - trivial stuff. :)17:54
GunnarHjHopefully some experienced developer will find the time in the beginning of next cycle.17:54
jackpot51I dropped all our patches. Users will have to wait until Ubuntu can merge the patch, it is too much maintenance work to have encrypted home in gnome-initial-setup and gnome-control-center17:57
jackpot51The only other alternative was to use an epoch, which would make it impossible to go back to the Ubuntu version if the patches are merged17:59
dmj_s76This patch represents a fairly important feature for us.18:00
=== Guest97012 is now known as fredp
=== fredp is now known as Guest12885
seb128dmj_s76, right, we are likely to get it reviewed next cycle18:36
seb128it hasn't been high priority for us since we don't use gnome-inital-setup and don't plan to for next cycle either18:37
seb128but we should be able to review those changes anyways18:37
jackpot51seb128 what about for creating new users? It is not supported in gnome-control-center either18:51
seb128jackpot51, that would be a nice improvement to get18:52
seb128but for next cycle now18:52
GunnarHjseb128: I think that oSoMoN is trying to fix an upstreamable solution to the ~/.pam_environment / GDM conflict.18:56
seb128GunnarHj, I saw that18:57
seb128GunnarHj, I told you it was probably fixable in a way that could go upstream :-)19:02
GunnarHjseb128: I never claimed otherwise (I think). My concern was/is the time frame. ;)19:04
seb128GunnarHj, you said that ~/.pam_environment and the accountsservice patches were ubuntu specific which would make the solution ubuntu specific iirc19:07
seb128GunnarHj, anyway no need to argue over it, if that can go upstream it's better for everybody19:07
GunnarHjseb128: Possibly I did... Anyway, good if we can avoid another permanent patch.19:11
GunnarHjseb128: The gnome-settings MP, OTOH, is Ubuntu specific. So whenever you find the time to get it in... I added a use case example to the bug report to illustrate the nature of the issue.19:14
seb128right, I saw that, I'm going to try to have a look tomorrow19:15
GunnarHjseb128: Ok. ( s/gnome-settings/gnome-session/ )19:16
seb128(right, I know which change you are talking about)19:16
Laneywhy do we have these differences in locale setup?19:17
seb128that's a complex topic, I don't think it can be summarized on IRC19:18
GunnarHjLaney: It's a long story. But the short version is that the way we do it in Ubuntu is desktop independent, i.e. it's used by several of the flavors. The GNOME way is GNOME only.19:18
seb128history, Debian doing things differently from rpm distros, etc19:18
LaneyI would like to understand it19:22
seb128the internet and the ubuntu archive source are available for your pleasure :-)19:23
Laneythanks seb19:23
seb128yw!19:23
seb128I'm not sure anyone has a complete understanding of the history how why the pieces got stacked to lead to what we have now19:24
seb128so I'm unsure anyone can reply to your question19:24
seb128so I think if somebody wants to understand the why and the details then the way is to dig and try to understand how we end up there19:24
seb128or maybe buy a beer to p_itti at some conference :p19:24
seb128Laney, some of the difference are debian vs redhat, e.g /etc/locale.conf vs /etc/default/locale, I'm unsure you are going to get a rational for that19:27
GunnarHjLaney, seb128: I can write down a summarized history from my horizon.19:27
seb128GunnarHj, I guess that would be useful19:27
seb128GunnarHj, your history would be how things are done in Ubuntu though, not how it differs from other distributions and why right?19:28
GunnarHjseb128: Mostly, yes.19:28
seb128pam_env.so is availabe in other distributions and mentioned in some redhat documents19:29
seb128unsure if they use it by default though19:29
Laneyso it's something we inherit from debian mainly?19:29
seb128some bits yes19:29
seb128then we have some extra ubuntu specifics changes for language-selector and langpacks iirc19:30
seb128but I'm not familiar with the specifics19:30
GunnarHjseb128, Laney: Previously (before 12.04) we used ~/.profile for the purpose, but it was considered inappropriate, since users often use that file for personal stuff. So we switched to ~/.pam_environment.19:31
seb128GunnarHj, is pam_env.so standard among distros?19:31
seb128or did we start installing it to address this need?19:31
GunnarHjseb128: We already had pam_env.so AFAIK. It was Colin W. who called our attention to ~/.pam_environment.19:32
GunnarHjseb128: Please note that both /etc/default/locale and /etc/environment are pam_env files.19:33
GunnarHjseb128: At that time ~/.pam_environment was read by pam_env by default, but that was changed later, which is the reason why we need to state it explicitly in a bunch of files in /etc/pam.d.19:37
seb128GunnarHj, right, anyway I guess that Laney is interested in locales to be standard across distro, I'm not sure how far we are from that and if anybody ever trying to reduce divergence/standardise, that gdm bug suggests we are not there19:39
GunnarHjseb128: My impression is that there is no cross distro standard in this respect.19:41
seb128right, that's my impression as well19:42
GunnarHjOf course, gettext is a common denominator.19:42
seb128well gettext doesn't define how the environment is set19:43
oSoMoNa comparison of what various distros do in that regard would be useful to understand the work needed to converge, if at all possible19:43
seb128right19:43
Laneyyeah19:49
Laneyor at least if we do things differently it'd be good to have a good idea of why19:50
Laneysince it seems to cause work19:50
Laneythx for the introductory lesson19:50
syeh_Hi, on 17.10, when the user requests 1360x768 32bpp mode, the pitch that I get in the DRM is 5632 (vs 1360*768 = 5440), does anyone happen to know how this pitch is determined?20:03
syeh_There are also a couple of details regarding how this new Wayland-based compositing manager is using framebuffers that I'd like to chat with someone about.  On a low GPU configuration, we are running into a few issues with our HW.20:09
