roastedevening duflu01:36
dufluroasted, Hi... (it's actually 9:36am)01:36
roastedha, 8:36 PM here :P01:36
dufluYou must be upside down01:36
roastedEast coast USA.01:36
dufluYeah01:37
roastedgovernment here just changed our time to make days longer or something :P01:37
sarnoldstill just 24 stupid hours in a day01:37
roastedslightly OT: read about Arizona's (USA) DST zones for some epic hilarity. :P01:38
roastedduflu: wanted to share something with you regarding that gray artifact thing when using vaapi01:38
roastedso far in my testing I've only had the gray artifacts happen with mpv/youtube-dl streaming when the video is using vp9 codec.01:38
roastedso maybe it's an issue isolated with vp9 (?)01:38
dufluroasted, yes I had already guessed it was VP9 only :)01:39
dufluJust haven't had time to look yet01:39
dufluroasted, what container format (e.g. file extension and output from the 'file' command) do you get?01:39
roastedsec, let me re-run it and see.01:39
roastedyou wnat the output when I hit vp9?01:40
dufluroasted, yes I expect it's VP9 video, inside an MP4 container01:40
dufluAlthough Google could be doing something different when streaming the VP901:40
roastedhttps://gist.github.com/anonymous/f67881a90315ee0b95582382405c50c401:41
dufluroasted, Thanks. I didn't know mpv could do that :)01:41
roasteddo what -- even attempt vp9?01:42
dufluroasted, interpret the youtube URL01:42
roastedI put this in my mpv.conf, which according to a github issue is a means of avoiding vp9 >> ytdl-format=bestvideo[height<=?1080][fps<=?30][vcodec!=?vp9]+bestaudio/best01:43
dufluroasted, OK I'll do some testing on that. Unfortunately my primary work machines are not up to it (only Haswell) so need to reorganise laptops beforehand01:43
roastedexact same mpv/link command ran a second time iwth that ytdl string in my mpv.conf:01:44
roastedhttps://gist.github.com/anonymous/84b7c20c5fbfaa80f66aea5387191bd301:44
roastedgithub issue source where I saw this comment: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/424101:44
roastedin case any of that helps :)01:44
dufluroasted, Cool. Yes that trick is what's used by Safari and just about every Android/iOS device I guess. They all need H.26401:45
roastedI understand android post 4.4 leverages vp9 now01:45
roastedone post I read dated a few months old mentions IE (not Edge) and Safari are the only H264 holdouts01:45
dufluPossibly. But I think most CPU/GPUs can't01:45
roastedah, true01:45
dufluWhich might explain my poor results from android-x8601:46
dufluroasted, Can you do me a favor and log a bug against mpv? That way I can keep track better, and also push the issue to whatever upstream project the bug is in01:48
dufluI mean log a bug in Launchpad01:49
roastedhah, for a second I was like :? as I know what MPV devs would say...01:49
dufluhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpv/+filebug01:49
roasted"hardware accel is not recommended" blah blah01:49
roastedwould you prefer I include most of the info we talked about including comparing mpv outputs of vp9 vs h264 etc?01:50
dufluroasted, if you can01:50
roastedsure can.01:50
roastedfor now I think I'm going to let this ytdl anti vp9 line in my conf. Makes mpv work that much better.01:51
roastedfrom a streaming standpoint anyway01:52
dufluroasted, Sure. I am not familiar with that condition syntax but suspect you would not need "[height<=?1080][fps<=?30]"02:18
dufluSince all you want is the bestvideo that's not vp902:18
roastedduflu: yeah, I plan to cut it down a bit. My initial assumption with how I reworked that line failed.02:18
roastedI'll get to it. Figured I'd write up the bug report first. :P02:18
roastedduflu: ytdl-format=bestvideo[vcodec!=?vp9]+bestaudio/best02:26
roastedduflu: Submitted. #1730551. Appreciate your time my friend. Please let me know if I can help with testing anything. Until then I'll continue to rock the ytdl-format line as it serves as a decent workaround. Enjoy your night--er, day. :)02:36
dufluThanks roasted, and no problem02:45

ximionhey Laney :-)09:12
* Laney runs09:12
Laneyi mean, hi ximion!09:12
ximionthat reaction is appropriate ;-)09:13
* ximion chases Laney09:13
ximionthere is an appstream-generator release that you'll really want in Ubuntu, because it not only finds more icons but also has support for webapps and *might* use less memory09:14
ximionannoying for you is that it depends on a very recent AppStream release, which requires Meson, which requires a bugfixed gobject-introspection, which requires a GLib update09:14
ximionso, a really annoying thing to backport to Xenial (I tried)09:15
Laneyoh THANKS!09:16
* ximion doesn't know if sarkasm or not :P09:16
Laneyimagine if there were a snap :P09:16
ximionactually, this would be a good case for a Snap, maybe I make one09:17
* ximion hasn't snapped in a while09:17
Laneyhehe09:17
ximiondestilling the patch that fixed gir or just updating everything to a recent version is also possible, I guess :P09:17
LaneyI just thought that all that backporting is an annoying problem, would be nice if that were solved somehow09:18
Laney...oh wait!09:18
ximionbut I'm not sure if they allow you to run a non-LTS Ubuntu for services at Canonical09:18
Laneynot really09:18
jameshwe could always put out a new LTS release, or something09:19
Laneygood plan09:19
ximionneat, so I hope I can make post-freeze updates to suites possible with AppStream in time for Bionic, it'll be a tough issue though (also, hughsie doesn't get the problem yet, but that's the easiest issue to solve)09:19
Laney(...ssh nusakan.canonical.com)09:19
Laneyoh yeah, that one is hard09:20
ximionthere is also a new package that I should make you aware of: webapps-metainfo --> https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/webapps-metainfo09:21
ximionit's purpose is to exclusively hold metadata to fully-free web applications to be displayed in GNOME Software09:21
ximionwhen launched from there, the "apps" run in a chrome-less Epiphany window09:22
Laneyyeah I've seen those09:22
Laneyhaving it shipped via a package feels weird to me, does it to you?09:22
ximionit's a feature requested quite often, but also occasionally hated by users according to hughsie09:22
ximionso, we should probably indicate webapps better in GS (at the moment they look like regular apps, which IMHO isn't good)09:25
ximionLaney: jup, it's weird, but the alternative would have been to inject those via some side channel into the final metadata, which would be even weirder09:25
ximionwith the package method, every DD and Ubuntu dev knows how to edit these files, we gat a bugtracker entry, can ship icons really easily, and integrate generally well with the package-based workflow of asgen09:26
Laneynah was thinking a separate appstream source for those09:26
ximionso, while feeling weird at first, I think this approach is best09:27
Laneylike the extensions.gnome.org stuff (ok, that's not appstream but you know what I mean)09:27
ximionin that case we would need some "download data from $arbitrary_source" logic which doesn't exist yet09:29
ximionweb apps are a really weird thing, because they are not "installed", so the usual delivery method (Flatpak, Snappy, APT) can't provide the metadata09:30
ximionso they'll always be weirdly bolted onto an existing system09:30
Laneyyah09:31
ximionwith webapps being in the archive, we do have an even bigger incentive now to be able to edit archive metadata post-freeze though09:31
Laneythat's like extensions09:31
Laneyhah09:31
ximionI resisted adding webapps properly to AppStream for a really, really long time now :P09:33
* ximion didn't see the point09:33
ximionbtw, Fedora is doing things exactly the same way as Debian is doing it now, by packaging metadata09:34
ximionalso, the Ubuntu asgen will do the wrong thing (tm) with the webapp metadata, because it doesn't know how to treat that data properly09:34
ximionLaney: interesting, looks like Ubuntu's asgen is ignoring the webapps package entirely :P09:37
Laneyximion: http://appstream.ubuntu.com/bionic/universe/metainfo/webapps-metainfo.html ?09:39
ximionI don't see that page09:39
ximionvery weird09:40
Laneyshould catch up soon09:50
Laneygot an appointment, back in 30ish09:50
oSoMoNseb128, I've got another libreoffice build ready for bionic, verified to build on all arches in a PPA: https://people.canonical.com/~osomon/libreoffice-5.4.2/bionic/09:58
seb128oSoMoN, great, thank you09:58
seb128oSoMoN, hum, 5.4.2 has already been uploades so the .changes/upload shouldn't include the origin files10:08
seb128oSoMoN, also no need to -v<version> to include 1:5.4.2-0ubuntu1 and ubuntu2 since those have been uploaded (I mentioned it for 0ubuntu2 because at the time 0ubuntu1 hadn't been included in an upload yet)10:09
oSoMoNseb128, ok, let me re-do the source package10:11
seb128thx10:12

ricotzoSoMoN, hi, damn fonts ;) -- there is no need to rebuild l10n11:16
oSoMoNindeed11:18
oSoMoNseb128, no need to push libreoffice-l10n it seems, only libreoffice11:19
ricotzoSoMoN, ohh11:21
ricotzanother icu transition?11:21
oSoMoNricotz, oh wow11:31
oSoMoNlet's hope LO will build fine against that new version11:32
ricotzoSoMoN, so better push 5.4.3 fast, before d_oko pushes a no-change rebuild which wastes cycles ;)11:33
ricotzoSoMoN, yeah, still two weeks to go before it is reasonable to push 6.0 which is more in shape for all those new things tickling in11:35

garnachohi everyone14:50
willcookehi garnacho, thanks for joining14:51
seb128sorry but I didn't see that discussion would be raised today14:52
seb128I didn't re-read enough about the topic nor prepared14:52
seb128so I don't have questions or specifics to discuss14:52
willcookecan we punt to tomorrow on IRC?14:52
jbichasorry, I didn't think to ping seb128 specifically ahead of time14:52
csorianohello all14:52
seb128jbicha, well, it's not only me14:53
jbichamaybe I should have emailed the list instead14:53
jbichain advance14:53
seb128jbicha, seems like you invited upstream, would have been nice to tell us to prepare questions if we had some :)14:53

ubot5Launchpad bug 1666676 in ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "Install tracker by default" [Undecided,Confirmed]14:53
willcookejbicha, could we start a thread on the hub?  Sounds like a good place to do it14:53
seb128hey csoriano!14:53
didrocks(I didn't read more, didn't know we would have that AOB and didn't prepare for that question)14:53
seb128well, those discussions went round but "on the spot" comments14:54
jbichacommunity.ubutnu.com is nice because it doesn't require people to all be on IRC at the same time to give input14:54
seb128- the LTS cycle is a tricky time to do disruptive changes and that's one of those14:54
jbichait was a stealth request on https://trello.com/c/4gjeaE66/93-re-evaluate-tracker-by-default14:54
seb128- we would need to plan for manpower to do the change and ensure quality and we didn't account for that14:54
jbichaand I didn't think that everyone wouldn't have seen the little note there14:54
willcookeI think the hub is probably a good place for this then, people can take time over their responses14:56
jbichawillcooke: I can start the discussion on community.ubuntu.com, how about we see where we are with that at next week's Desktop meeting?14:56
willcookethink things  through14:56
seb128jbicha, I think that the summary is that upstream believes that it's good, there is no issue and that we should ship it and that we tend to want data to make up our mind and don't have enough to decide14:56
willcookejbicha, that sounds good. Thanks.  Maybe we can resolve everything on the hub with a bit of luck14:57
jbichaseb128: yes, that's where we were last cycle14:57
seb128csoriano, garnacho, sorry I don't think that we have questions for you, the positions are been stated several time of the years on that launchpad bugs and other places and I don't think anyone really changed their position14:58
csorianoseb128: oh ok, then I guess that's all :)14:58
csorianosee you!14:58
seb128csoriano, I do know you would be in favor if seeing it included though :)14:58
seb128so let's see how the hub discussion goes14:58

willcookeoki, jbicha please get the thread started then and we can get it sorted15:00
willcookeAnyone got anything else?15:00
jbichasure15:00
seb128well, while we are on the topic, do people here install tracker and use it?15:00
jbichanothing else from me15:00
didrocksI don't15:00
seb128does anybody has an opinion on how it's working for them15:00
seb128or a +1/0/-1 on principle?15:01
didrocksI still hear bad things due to impact on battery/perf from the 2 persons working on GNOME around me15:01
andyrockI got traker enabled for some reasons15:01
jbichaseb128: every other GNOME distro includes it (including Ubuntu GNOME before 17.10)15:01
seb128just trying to get a feeling of what people thing15:01
didrocksthat's the only input, but nothing measurable unfortunately15:01
andyrockand it's always 100%15:01
seb128think15:01
seb128andyrock, 100% what?15:01
jbichaUbuntu Budgie intentionally stopped installing tracker in 17.10 so I want to ask fossfredom how much feedback they had gotten before about that15:01
andyrockCPU15:01
andyrock:P15:02
seb128k15:02
andyrockI cannot debug right now as the computer where it's enabled is dead15:02
seb128the anecdotic comments we just had from didrocks and andyrock don't give me much confidence :p15:02
oSoMoNnot using it, but I can install and observe how it affects my machine15:02
didrocksah, also on the french forum15:02
seb128hum15:02
didrockssomeone complaining that we installed tracker by default :p 100% of CPU usage15:03
didrocks(2 days ago)15:03
seb128should we maybe ask people in the team to install/opt in for it15:03
didrocksofc, arguedwedidn't :p15:03
seb128and revisit/see feedback next week?15:03
seb128or on the hub :p15:03
willcookehub!15:03
seb128k15:03
jbichathere are also lots of anecdotal comments that it works fine :/15:03
didrocksI guess asking for a call for participation on the hub is nice15:03
* Laney has it installed, have done for ages15:03
Laneyso my anecdote is that I never notice it15:03
Laney:-)15:03
didrocksand gather data15:03
andyrockI actually was not sure why the tracker was enabled15:03
seb128Laney, do you find it to provide something useful?15:03
didrocksI can link from the french forum as well15:03
andyrockI was going to ask here because I was a bit confused15:04
seb128andyrock, you probably installed the package to build/test nautilus or something?15:04
jbichaseb128: we're also being forced in to enabling tracker…15:04
andyrockit can be15:04
seb128jbicha, that has to been seen :p15:04
seb128I'm not saying it's not going to be incrementally harder not having it15:04
jbichacsoriano says that Nautilus 3.28 hard-depends on tracker for the new Favorites feature and he says we would have to revert several commits to avoid the tracker dependency15:04
seb128but we could do without for the LTS15:05
seb128he already said that for 3.26 and the batch rename15:05
seb128and fts15:05
didrocksfor a non LTS, I guess we could give it a try, for a LTS, I'm less positive15:05
jbichawell fts doesn't work without tracker and batch rename is a bit less nice without tracker15:05
jbicha("full text search")15:06
seb128right, but he also said in 3.26 that it wouid be an hard depends15:06
seb128anyway, let's give it a try15:06
seb128but what Didier said15:06
seb128even if it's good it needs a maintainer and somebody to look at issues after integration15:07
seb128and the team is busy at full capacity already15:07
jbichatracker is a hard build-depends in 3.26 and the UI is confusing because it offers fts15:07
seb128unsure what we are arguing over15:07
seb128I was just pointed out that we managed to ship 3.26 without enabling tracker15:07
jbichaand of course, we could still ship nautilus 3.26 for 18.04 LTS if it is a hard dependency and we don't want tracker15:08
seb128right15:08
seb128I guess it's enough said on the topic15:09
seb128let's all install/try it and use the hub to discuss15:09
jbichait's tricky because we'll get criticism no matter what we do15:09

jbichahttps://community.ubuntu.com/t/install-tracker-by-default-in-18-04-lts/148315:20
roastedseb128: if I may chime in, I install tracker and enjoy using it. Had high CPU usage for a few seconds post-install, after that, no issues that I've seen.15:42
seb128roasted, that's good feedback, thanks15:42
seb128roasted, what do you use it for/where?15:43
seb128roasted, and if it's only "few seconds" I guess you don't have lot of user datas?15:43
roastedseb128: digging up files via activities/dash menu mostly. I've also found it to be convenient for finding specific settings too (at least I assume tracker is responsible for that). i.e. I can search "def" and it highlights "Default Applications" from Settings >> Details menu.15:44
roastedseb128: I'm not sure what qualifies as a lot or a little. I can tell you at work, all of my data is in my work Nextcloud. At home, all of my data is in my home-Nextcloud. Both Nextcloud's sync to this laptop where I installed tracker.15:45
seb128roasted, no, the settings isn't a tracker thing15:45
seb128just keywords in settings panel descriptions15:45
roastedah. I hadn't taken note of that working prior, but did after tracker -- thought it was connected.15:45
