kenvandinejamesh, hey01:39
kenvandinejamesh, we merged both of the helper PRs today01:39
kenvandinejamesh, i tested with a gnome snap using the platform and oSoMoN tested one using desktop-gtk301:40
kenvandineboth worked... but looking at the forum it looks like some others using desktop-gtk3 are hitting issues01:40
kenvandinejamesh, https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/running-gtk3-app-as-snap-cannot-find-schemas/299101:40
kenvandineand01:40
kenvandinehttps://forum.snapcraft.io/t/glib-error-snap-not-working-anymore/299001:40
kenvandineabort loading schemas01:40
kenvandine:/01:40
kenvandinejamesh, i've also rebuilt all of the gnome snaps and tested them01:41
kenvandineall worked fine01:41
jameshkenvandine: looking01:41
kenvandinebut of course those are using the gnome platform snap01:41
kenvandineso i think it's just a problem without the platform snap01:41
kenvandinebut oSoMoN had tested that, but I think with just one snp01:42
kenvandinesnap01:42
kenvandineoh, maybe his didn't need schemas01:42
jameshkenvandine: this is weird.  I wouldn't have expected any behaviour change for desktop-gtk3, since we shouldn't have any gschemas.compiled01:51
jameshtrying out the linked snapcraft.yaml01:51
kenvandineyeah, me either01:51
kenvandinejamesh, i need to step away, but if you get  a fix ping me and i'll get it merged quickly01:52
jameshokay01:52
kenvandinejamesh, can you ping me on telegram?01:52
jameshsure01:53
kenvandineand i'll hop on01:53

seb128hey willcooke, how is London today?09:15
oSoMoNhey willcooke09:18
willcookeIt's pretty cold here today09:19
willcookeLuckily no delays on the train so I didnt have to stand outside very much :)09:19
willcookeNo such luck for didrocks though, flight delayed for de-icing09:20
dokowillcooke: why is cdbs seeded in supported-desktop-extra? can we remove it?11:18
willcookedoko: is there anything else keeping it in main? Well, maybe not needed nowdays as it's only a build-dep11:21
dokowillcooke: I don't think so. Please reply to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdbs/+bug/173539511:23

willcookedoko, ack11:30
willcookeseb128, you OK to drop it from the seeds?  didrocks is +1 ^11:41

ubot5Launchpad bug 1735403 in subversion (Ubuntu) "supported-development-desktop seeds subversion and subversion-tools (Python2)" [Undecided,New]11:58
willcookedoko, +1 to remove.  (also: wow! ;) )  Commented on bug12:01
kenvandinejamesh, thanks for that fix13:08
seb128doko, could you please stop assigning bugs to "ubuntu-desktop", that's the wrong team and leads to spam on the desktop mailing list which is used as contact for that one14:45
dokoseb128: which team instead?14:46
seb128doko, you can using canonical-desktop-team if that's the intend14:46
dokook14:46
seb128or don't assign to a team and just assume whoever has interest to the package already receive bug emails14:47
dokoseb128: where is this documented?14:47
seb128thanks14:47
seb128I don't think it is14:47
xnoxseb128, which team assignement do you use to prioritise rls-incoming bugs for your team? and which team is used as subscriber for those reports? usually same one as the MIR subscriber team.14:48
xnoxi believe the current mapping is ubuntu-desktop, and maybe that needs updating.14:49
seb128xnox, desktop-packages14:49
xnoxah14:49
seb128and I doubt it is ubuntu-desktop14:49
seb128xnox, oh, since you are around, did you see that Steve had a question for you on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1727237 ?14:52
ubot5Launchpad bug 1727237 in systemd (Ubuntu) "systemd-resolved is not finding a domain" [High,Triaged]14:52
dokowillcooke: update the seeds, will follow-up tomorrow once the changes are published14:57
willcookedoko, update = updated?15:03
willcookei.e. you have done already?15:03
dokoyes, just committed15:07
dokowillcooke: unrelated, but just because libglade2 is connected with Python2. do you have a baseline what needs to be done to demote the gtk2 stack?15:30
willcookedoko, thanks!15:30
willcookedoko, @ gtk2 - jbicha has been looking at that I think15:30
gQuigsdoko: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/158590315:36
ubot5Launchpad bug 1585903 in Ubuntu GNOME "Make it possible to remove gtk2" [Wishlist,Triaged]15:36
jbichadoko: are you planning to have Firefox not support Flash at all? because that seems like a pretty big blocker to demoting gtk215:41
dokojbicha: I don't have any shares in firefox. and no foundations doesn't maintain rust either15:42
jbichaI'm working to reducing the number of things in a default Ubuntu 18.04 install (at least in English) that depends on gtk2 (maybe even to 0)15:42
jbichabut dropping gtk2 from main is something much bigger than that15:43
dokojbicha: I really would recommend filing bugs like I do for py2-demotion.  Then you at least know what needs to be done15:43
jbichamaybe, it's not something I think is that important this year15:44
jbichadoko: since you seem eager to demote and remove, do you want to handle some of the removals from LP: #1710318 ?15:45
ubot5Launchpad bug 1710318 in xiphos (Ubuntu) "Please remove webkit1 rdepends removed from Debian Testing" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/171031815:45
dokoyou have to break down big tasks ...15:45
dokosorry, haven't looked at that at all15:46
jbichafull webkit2gtk removal is blocked on packaging gnucash 2.7 https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/releases15:46
jbichadoko: well since you're asking everyone else to look at stuff, I thought I'd return the favor ;)15:47
jbicha*full webkitgtk removal15:47
jbichathe webkitgtk removal bug was filed a few months ago and is actually planned for 18.04 LTS15:48
dokojbicha: well, upload it, and then remove15:48
jbichacould you talk to slangasek about gnucash since he's the developer that is most interested in it working from what I've heard15:49
jbichasince you're asking me to do stuff, I'm asking you to do stuff in exchange :)15:50
gQuigsFlash support will be removed from Firefox before 20.04 LTS, just saying... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Plugins/Roadmap15:54
jbichagQuigs: yes, but do_ko seemed impatient ;)15:56
jbichaseb128: the USB seeds haven't been used for anything in years, right?15:58
jbichahttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntu.bionic/files15:58
jbichadoko: I think webkitgtk removal is arguably Foundation's job anyway but I've done a lot of the work so far :)16:00
dokojbicha: webkit was mostly maintained by desktop and security, afaik. but why not just upload a new gnucash?16:01
Trevinhoah, hey guys16:01
jbichadoko: slangasek already started on that job, but there's been a new point release since then. I'd rather not duplicate his work and I don't use gnucash16:03
jbichawk removal at this point is mostly an AA job16:06
seb128jbicha, I don't know for what it was used exactly before, I don't think we provided an usb iso, some people might still use today for the same things it was used before16:06
seb128jbicha, could be a question for the devel list?16:08
jbichaseb128: but as far as we know, there isn't anything to actually build a unique USB version of Ubuntu with those extra packages, right?16:09
seb128correct16:10
seb128I don't remember if that seed was ever used to build an image16:11
seb128or what was the intend16:11
jbichaI think it was used to build a larger image back when we tried to fit things on a CD16:12
jbichaI'm asking now because inkscape (still gtk2) is seeded there but we don't need inkscape in main, right?16:13
dokohehe, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inkscape/+bug/173536316:14
ubot5Launchpad bug 1735363 in inkscape (Ubuntu) "inkscape: Use/Port of Python3 needed, or considering demotion" [Undecided,New]16:14
gQuigsjbicha: there have been various usb images over the years   -http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/ http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/9.04/16:15
seb128jbicha, the usb set is keeping things in main? anyway I don't think that seed makes any sense nowadays since our current iso is basically an usb one, can you email devel about removing it see if anyone know of a reason not?16:15
jbichaok16:18
didrocksnice, plane back is already delayed by an hour16:24
* didrocks should arrive at 1:30am at best at home :/16:25
jbichaseb128: oh, there is an "Ubuntu desktop USB" task in tasksel16:43
jbichabut the packages remaining in the usb seed feel like very odd choices now16:46
willcookeTrevinho, we're trying the xrandr scaling fix to fake fractional scaling under xorg on 17.10, but the mouse now only goes halfway across the screen.  I think that's a known issue - but is there another way to get 1.5x scaling under gnome shell and xorg by changing the xorg conf file or something like that?17:29
Trevinhowillcooke: so that xorg bug is known17:32
Trevinhowillcooke: and there's a fix upstream which #workshere17:32
Trevinhobut... not pushed or reviewed for ages17:32
Trevinhobut I'm using that patch locally for a while and I noticed no problems with it17:32
willcookeTrevinho, got a ppa? :)17:32
Trevinhowillcooke: nope, just compiled manualliy17:33
Trevinhowillcooke: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/88331917:33
ubot5Launchpad bug 883319 in X.Org X server "xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves" [High,Incomplete]17:33
Trevinhothis is the patch v17:33
Trevinhohttps://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=9492917:33
TrevinhoI pinged some time ago tjaalton about it, but he rightfully said we need to wait upstream to review it. It's just taht it's getting oooold.17:34
mdeslaurlol @ hostname in that bug ("jos@samsungsucks:~$ lsb_release -rd")17:34
kenvandinelol17:35
Trevinho:-D17:35
Trevinhowillcooke: as for other ways to get that... I'm not sure to be fair, I've never checked but there should be a way.17:35
TrevinhoI wanted mutter to do it as fallback, but since this xorg issue and the fact that there's no acceleration on it, I'm not sure if it's a solution for all the problems17:36
Trevinhowe can try to have that though17:36
Trevinhoit was my fallback idea for having the shell to scale fractionally even on x1117:38
willcookeTrevinho, np - got it to work with the --panning hack17:39
willcookethanks17:39
Trevinhowillcooke: oh, but with panning it will move around the screen, no?17:39
willcookewe set it to be the size of the new virtual desktop17:39
willcookeseems to work17:40
