jibeldidrocks, are you feeling better?07:36
didrocksjibel: a little bit, after a night of sweating, I feel the virus is slowely exiting finally…07:39
didrocksso feeling better than yesterday, far from being in full shape though07:39
didrocksand you? All good?07:40
jibeldidrocks, yes, i'm all right.07:42

seb128good morning desktopers08:37
oSoMoNsalut seb128, ça va?08:38
seb128ouais, nickel, et toi ?08:38
oSoMoNtrès bien08:39
didrockssalut seb128 !08:39
oSoMoNlibreoffice 5.4.3 is now in bionic08:40
Nafalloseb128: heh, I didn't get the french hello. not sure if I should feel special or left out :-P08:41
willcookemorning08:49
didrocksgood morning willcooke08:49
seb128oSoMoN, great!08:51
seb128hey willcooke08:51
Nafallomorning willcooke :-)08:52
oSoMoNgood morning willcooke08:53
willcookeSo, Nafallo wins the dentist prize!  No fillings, but I need 4 wisdom teeth out :/08:53
oSoMoNouch08:53
Nafallowillcooke: the big question then, what did you ask them to put in instead? :-)08:54
willcookewooden ones, it's the British way08:54
Nafallothat doesn't sounds efficient at all. would just taste like beer all the time once they've had a chance to soak it up :-P08:55
willcookewait, that sounds awesome ;)08:55
didrockswillcooke: ok, I won't tell you tomorrow my 4 wisdom teeth story. Once it's done however, I'm happy to share :)08:56
Nafallodidrocks: you could tell beforehand what YOU replaced them with :-P08:57
oSoMoNis it a known issue that the lock screen is very laggy when there's a CPU-intensive task running (like building chromium), to the point that when revealing the login entry after starting to type my password, half (or more) of the keystrokes are lost?08:58
didrocksNafallo: haha, I just lost wisdom on that day, no replacement :p08:58
didrocksoSoMoN: well, not known, but not surprised (it's under the same users and the Shell in general is really laggy with intensie CPU tasks08:59
didrocksintensive*08:59
didrocksmissing inputs and such08:59
oSoMoNdidrocks, is it worth filing a bug? IIRC the unity lock screen didn't exhibit this problem09:00
didrocksoSoMoN: please, file one upstream, on the bz tracker (gnome-shell)09:00
oSoMoNok09:00
willcooke(I saw something about upstream tracking bugs on gitlab now - is that only for certain projects?)09:00
oSoMoNI keep having to type my password twice to unlock my screen, it's annoying09:01
jameshoSoMoN: I see it too.  I'm not seeing lost keystrokes though: rather repeated keystrokes09:01
didrockswillcooke: yeah, only for some, transitionning slowly09:02
didrocksg-s didn't yet, but +1 on the move09:02
Nafallowould it depend on what sort of keyboard connection you use perhaps?09:02
willcookeseb128, jibel  - Bluetooth is (most probably) cancelled today as koza is in Taipei.09:02
jameshi.e. the number of dots is more than the number of characters in my password09:02
didrocksjamesh: indeed, due to how mutter handles key inputs for repeated keys09:03
didrocks(end time - start time, which can be long on a hanging CPU)09:03
oSoMoNjamesh, I also sometimes see repeated keystrokes in gnome-terminal or gedit when under a heavy load, indeed09:04
jameshdidrocks: I read that Wayland handles key repeat in the client rather than the server, so it can happen pretty much anywhere09:05
didrocksindeed09:05
oSoMoNI initially thought it might be due to using an external USB keyboard, but I see the issue with the laptop’s builtin keyboard too09:05
jameshhttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777693 seems to be the relevant bug, which also notes XWayland implementing a work around09:08
ubot5Gnome bug 777693 in general "Input event (e. g. typing on keyboard) is sent repeatedly during high load" [Normal,Needinfo]09:08
oSoMoNhttps://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79097309:12
ubot5Gnome bug 790973 in lock-screen "Unlock dialog laggy when under heavy load, drops keystrokes" [Normal,New]09:12
seb128willcooke, +1 for not doing the bluetooth one without koza & duflu09:18
willcookebbiab, errands09:40
willcookeback10:09
Nafallohmm. my lockscreen shortcut changed. is that a bug? :-P10:42
didrocksthe default is Super + L under GNOME Shell (and so, on 17.10)10:45
Nafallohmm. mine was set to ctrl+alt+l...10:46
Nafallo*shrugs* let's ignore it then :-P10:46
Nafallonow I'm not sure how I locked it on 17.04 anymore :-P10:47
seb128it's a known issue10:56
seb128we should support the old one since quite some users have trained muscle memory on that combo for over a decade10:56
seb128it's easy to change in the settings but annoying and can be seen a security issue since some people are likely to ctrl-alt-l -> walk away from the laptop and have it unlocked10:57
oSoMoNyeah, that happened to me quite a few times when I upgraded to artful during the development cycle, and I had to re-train muscle memory to use Super+L11:10
Nafalloooooh11:12
Nafalloboth super+l and ctrl+alt+l works on 16.04 :-P11:12
Nafalloand it's set to ctrl+alt+l in settings11:13
Nafallois this some kind of unity thing? :-)11:13
didrocksyeah, it was an array, upstream GNOME has a single key which may do the distro-patch hard to maintain11:13
didrocksthis is why we let default upstream for 17.10 and wait to revisit that for 18.04, but seems we'll add a second key11:14
Nafallowell, if we don't want users leaving their computers unlocked in open space offices... ;-)11:14
Nafallothankfully I got hit by it in my home office when getting another coffee :-P11:14
frechdachs69Q: how do I select which desktop to use (e.g. 'kubuntu-desktop') within a preseed file?13:39
andyrockhow can I generate a quilt patch with "diff --git ..." lines13:41
didrocksandyrock: hum, if you committed, git format-patch is compatible13:45
andyrockdidrocks: I'm generating a debdiff13:48
andyrockand the debdiff is dirty because it removes all the "diff --git google-..." lines13:49
didrocksah, you want to do the other way around, hum13:49
didrocksI'm generally doing the other way, editing on the git, and then backporting as a quilt patch13:50
didrocksyou have a --diffstat, but this isn't what you want I guess13:51
andyrockwell I'll proposed the debdiff as it is :D13:55
Trevinhomorning13:56
didrocksmorning Trevinho!13:57
Trevinhohi didrocks, ca va?13:57
didrocksTrevinho: still a little bit sick, but starting to get better, and you?13:57
TrevinhoI'm good, I took almost a week to recover :o13:57
jbichadidrocks: I'm doing some work on LP: #1585903 and I'm wondering your opinion of how we should handle light-themes14:27
ubot5Launchpad bug 1585903 in Ubuntu GNOME "Make it possible to remove gtk2" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/158590314:27
jbichahow likely is it that the 18.04 theme will be shipped in light-themes? will there be a separate Ambiance theme in a separate binary package for users to install?14:28
jbicha(the problem is that gtk2 themes depend on libgtk2.0-0)14:30
didrocksjbicha: answered! I guess splitting is fine14:30
didrockswe will have Ambiance by default, need just to have the gtk2 Ambiance variant installed by default14:30
didrockswe can relax the dep if needed manually14:30
didrocks(as we did in the past for sni-qt to not dep on Qt)14:31
jbichaso currently, you expect the 18.04 theme to still be named Ambiance?14:31
didrocksjbicha: good chance, making a new theme isn't straightfoward and we should plan for the worst case :)14:31
jbichaI think this is a great usecase for conditional dependencies: if gtk2 and Numix is installed, then install numix-gtk2 for instance14:32
didrockswell, we don't have that in apt14:32
didrocksso, the way we dealt with this in the past is this ^ hacking the ${Depends}14:33
didrocksthe first app which will need it will dep on GTK2, and so, will pull the dep14:33
jbicharight, that's basically my strategy for the default install. Once gtk2 is no longer installed by default, I guess it can recommend all the popular gtk2 themes :|14:35
didrockswell, we still want the default experience to be fine for people installing it14:36
didrockslike people pulling any app that is dep on GTK214:36
didrocksthat's why we still want Ambiance to be installed by default14:36
didrocks(GTK2 & GTK3 versions)14:37
didrockshowever, relaxing the deps is fine IMHO14:37
didrocksso that it doesn't pull gtk214:37
jbichamy plan was to have libgtk2.0-0 Recommend light-themes-gtk2 (it can't be a Depends unless we don't care about the circular dependency problem)14:37
didrocksbut still having light-themes-gtk2 seeded, correct?14:38
jbichanot explicitly no14:38
didrockshum, this isn't what I just explained on how we do it :/14:38
didrocksthere is no reason for libgtk2.0-0 to recommend a particular theme14:38
jbichaUbuntu's libgtk2.0-0 arguably should recommend Ubuntu's gtk2 theme as long as we don't have a conditional dependency feature14:39
jbichaas of yesterday, Debian unstable's gtk2 recommends Adwaita for instance14:40
didrockssounds weird14:41
didrocksbut still, my advise is to do the same way we handled optional modules and features:14:41
didrocksadvice*14:41
didrocks- have light-themes-gtk2 seeded by default14:42
didrocks- relax (in debian/rules, hack the generated shlib dep) the dep between light-themes-gtk2 to libgtk2 to not be listed14:42
didrocksThat way, people will have the theme available, and the first application needed GTK2 will fullfil the necessary dep14:42
jbichaoh, ugh14:43
jbichathat sounds a bit horrible but it might work14:44
didrocksit does14:44
jbichaI mean I guess my proposal is a bit horrible too!14:44
didrocksthat's how we handled for a long time having Qt modules with ubuntu's behavior without pulling Qt14:44
didrocksyeah, at least, we don't pull our theme for other derivatives14:44
didrockscontrary to having a recommends14:44
didrockswhich will impact all flavors14:45
jbichaI guess it might not even be worth splitting light-themes if we can do the shlibs hack14:47
didrocksnot mandatory, still an option if you want14:47
didrocksI don't have strong opinions14:48
didrocksjbicha: just override dh_shlibdeps with -X14:48
oSoMoNdidrocks, do you mind if I merge https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/pull/87 ?15:36
oSoMoNor do you want to review it too?15:36
kenvandineoSoMoN, i was about hit merge that :)15:37
oSoMoNkenvandine, then please go ahead!15:37
kenvandineoSoMoN, can you give PR 86 a test?15:38
kenvandineit works great with the platform snap15:38
oSoMoNchecking15:39
didrocksoSoMoN: yeah, kenvandine is maintaining it more than I do now :)15:39
kenvandineoSoMoN, thx15:39
oSoMoNI pinged didrocks out of habit…15:40
didrocks:)15:41
oSoMoNkenvandine, what generates the mime.cache file in the gnome platform snap?16:08
kenvandineoSoMoN, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+junk/gnome-3-26-1604/view/head:/snapcraft.yaml#L8516:13
oSoMoNok, so I could do something similar in the libreoffice snap16:14
oSoMoNPR #86 seems to work well, +1 from me16:14
oSoMoNkenvandine, feel free to merge16:18
* oSoMoN → chiropractor16:20
kenvandineoSoMoN, thx16:21
* kenvandine triggers rebuilds of all the gnome snaps to pickup the new helpers17:23
cyphermoxwillcooke: around?17:52
willcookecyphermox, otp, but can reply async17:52
cyphermoxack17:52
