ubot5`Launchpad bug 1735960 in avahi (Ubuntu) "Merge avahi 0.7 with Debian" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/173596001:37
tkamppeterjbicha, I have talked with kenvandine about that. He will try to find out what is on. My patch cannot be the cause for that.01:41
tkamppeterjbicha, perhaps 0.7 fixes that.01:41

jbichano, it's still broken in Debian01:46
jbichaa debhelper change triggered it, but I guess the Debian maintainer will adapt avahi for it eventually01:46

Laneyprobably get to fight with autotools for that /o\09:18
willcookeIiinteresting.... add a second user, logout, login as that user with the Ubuntu session selected, get the GNOME session.  Reboot = fixed!  I have a feeling that's known already.  Will follow up with didrocks after hols.09:21

seb128hey Nafallo09:28
seb128willcooke, is that in a vm or real machine? new install or having SRUs updates installed?09:29
willcookeseb128, real machine09:30

seb128willcooke, when you say GNOME you mean vanilla upstream, the one with their theme no dock etc?09:32

tkamppeterkenvandine, jbicha, seb128: Did you find out what happened with avahi?12:12
seb128tkamppeter, hey, did you see my comment on the bug?12:29
tkamppeterseb128, have seen it now and is marked as fixed. So perhaps one of the core devs could merge avahi from Debian. AFAIR they have also already updated to 0.7.0 (and my patch applies to 0.7.0, too).12:33

seb128koza, hey, is the bluez 5.47 update somewhat on your todo?12:38
seb128tkamppeter, would it? the bug is marked as blocked by the ftbfs which is not fixed in debian either yet12:39
tkamppeterseb128, debian bug 878911 is marked with "Fixed in version debhelper/10.10". Or did it turn out to not have worked out?12:41

seb128hey jbicha12:46
jbichahappy Friday12:46
seb128happy friday! how are you today?12:46
jbichagood, I'm converting Debian pkg-gnome from svn to git, but you can see that from how noisy #debian-gnome is :)12:49
seb128yeah, I guessed that but I didn't look much at the content of the commits12:51
seb128good luck with that, seems lot of work, would have been easier to let people deal with conversions as they touch the packages12:52
Laneynice13:02
Laneyjust got a notification that my mouse is running low on power13:02
Laneydidn't get those for my old wireless mouse/kb, it just died13:02
Laneygood when things work13:02
seb128yeah :)13:02
Laneyalso I got that over 2 years ago13:03
Laneyand havne't changed the batteries since then13:03
LaneyWTF13:03
seb128impressive13:03
seb128my mouse doesn't send the battery info I guess13:03
Laneyyou can see it in the power panel if it's there13:04
jbichaseb128: I don't think delaying more would have been easier, one step in the conversion process takes like 3.5 hours (because it's a giant svndump that needs to be sorted)13:04
seb128yeah, it's not, upwer doesn't list it either13:04
jbichawe could have stored that intermediate output somewhere13:04
Laney:(13:04
seb128it's an old logitech one13:04
seb128like 5-6 years old13:04
Laneyyeah this is a newer logitech13:04
Laneywith one of those unifying receiver things that works with fwupd too13:05
jbichabut then everyone would have to know how to do the conversion which in the long run costs more time13:05
kozaseb128, you mean bump bluez version for ubuntu? yes, but i wait for 5.48 now. i expect it to be out soon. i hold on 5.47 cause i have read reports of broken keyboards with this release13:05
seb128jbicha, or not, if people are involved they might understand what is happening and how to use the new thing, if you just force it down their way they might get confused13:05
seb128koza, ok, good to know, thanks13:06
jbichaseb128: you might be the only one who is said to see svn go ;)13:06
seb128jbicha, I'm not attached to svn, doesn't mean I like going to git though13:07
seb128debian/ in bzr ftw :p13:07
jbichaI expect we'll discuss migrating Ubuntu's GNOME packaging from bzr to git, after the holidays13:09
kozaseb128, it will be updateeed before March the 1st which is feature freeze13:10
jbichaseb128: bzr isn't used much in Debian now. Neat stats at https://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/vcswatch13:13
seb128jbicha, I don't think it was ever used a lot in Debian13:22
seb128jbicha, you should take my troll comment less literally btw :p13:23
seb128jbicha, I'm not advocating to use svn or bzr, I just don't want of a system too complex to use and the git ui and interactions still suck which is a shame13:24
jbichabzr is/was pretty nice for Debian packaging13:24
seb128yes13:24
seb128git-ubuntu might be nice as well13:25
seb128we are going to look at how that compare to what is done in pkg-gnome13:25
jbichaI don't think git-ubuntu is as useful if you already have git, but I've never used git-ubuntu13:26
seb128well, it's supposed to be the new consistant way to deal with Ubuntu sources13:26
jbichawe still had ubuntu-desktop bzr in the UDD days13:27
seb128you like to argue on everything said don't you? ;)13:28
jbichaI'm just trolling back ;)13:28
seb128well, I'm not trolling at this point13:28
seb128I think git-ubuntu is a valid candidate for a new unified way to deal with the ubuntu archive13:28
jbichaonce we have a git patch, we can apply that anywhere13:28
seb128yeah, a git patch can even be droped in the debian/ only in bzr vcs-es13:29
seb128anyway let's see the pro and con from the different solutions13:29
seb128the reason we pushed back on udd that the time was to avoid to have to check out the full source/history of the vcs to do a simple package tweak13:30
seb128seems like those git imports have the same flaw13:30
jbichaI think the point of git-ubuntu is that it's supposed to work for any package because Ubuntu doesn't control the vcs for most of the archive13:31
seb128right13:31
seb128and provide a nice human friendly UI13:31
seb128unlike git :p13:31
Laneyit'd be a shame if we weren't to share with the Debian git I think13:32
seb128it'd be a shame if we weren't to share with Ubuntu git I think13:32
seb128:)13:32
jbichaI've been unimpressed with dgit so far which seemed to have similar goals as ubuntu-git (but dgit seems fairly unpopular in Debian)13:32
Laney:/13:33
seb128but let's see the pro&con of each solution13:33
LaneyUbuntu git isn't our upstream13:33
seb128I expect we are going to end up on "depends of who is working on the package"13:33
Laneybut ok, too much trolling going on here13:33
seb128as it is today13:33
Laney"on many sides"13:33
jbichalol13:33
seb128like gnome-software is maintained in GNOME git13:33
seb128but it doesn't make to have a full import with the complexity for e.g gnome-calculator13:34
jbichaso… pkg-mate does debian/ only git branches13:34
seb128Laney, trolling aside I think we need to have a look to the different solution and their pro&con, there are for sure advantages to have shared history with upstream&debian & powertool availability for projects which are under active work or have non trivial changes13:37
seb128so it makes sense we end up using some of those for e.g gnome-software13:37
seb128then for "easy packages" it might be less of an obvious choice13:37
seb128but let's see post holidays when things have settled down a bit13:38
jbichaseb128: did you see https://code.launchpad.net/~khurshid-alam/unity-control-center/screen-sharing/+merge/335211 ?13:46
seb128jbicha, yes, it's quite some code to review though and I've other things to work on that reviewing complex changes to a desktop which is not our default one14:02
seb128said differently I'm too busy/don't care enough about u-c-c at this point to review that changeset14:02
caseyHi, I have a question about troubleshooting a bug. Sometimes my laptop incorrectly goes to sleep when I close its laptop lid with an external monitor attached, even while plugged into the wall. What component(s) might control this behavior? systemd?14:24
casey(I'm running Ubuntu 17.10 but this problem is not specific to Ubuntu -- I can reproduce it with the latest Fedora as well)14:24
mgedmingnome-settings-daemon?14:25
seb128casey, gnome-shell14:26
seb128mgedmin, that code got moved away from g-s-d in 3.2614:27
caseyseb128:thanks -- maybe I should first check if this behavior persists with KDE as well14:28
seb128casey, if KDE has the same issue it wouldn't be less of a GNOME bug...14:29
jibelcasey, sounds like bug 171616014:29
ubot5`bug 1716160 in gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu Artful) "System goes to sleep with external monitor and lid closed after login" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/171616014:29
jibelbut it's marked as fixed in 17.1014:30
jbichaseb128: the idea for the u-c-c merge is that it's blocking our syncing/merging vino from Debian, but that can wait until January14:30
caseythe problem reliably occurs if I attach the external monitor while the laptop is asleep. After resuming from suspend, the laptop will still go to sleep when I close its lid.14:31
seb128jbicha, well feel free to approve the change in u-c-c, worth case they have bugs and need to fix them14:31
caseyMy workaround currently is to fiddle with the display settings after connecting the external monitor14:31
jbichaok, that makes since since u-c-c is their responsibility now14:31
seb128casey, check the output of "systemd-inhibit --list" when having the issue14:32
caseyafter e.g. changing the display configuration to "Single display" and then back to "mirror", the issue is temporarily resolved14:32
caseyseb128:thanks i'll try that14:32
seb128casey, gnome bug #788915 got patch commited on nov 30th so they are probably not in Ubuntu yet14:35
ubot5`Gnome bug 788915 in general "External monitor shuts off when laptop lid closes under wayland." [Major,Resolved: fixed] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78891514:35
seb128casey, so it might be fixed upstream/waiting for the next point release14:35
k_alamjbicha: I opened a merge request to recommend gtk3-nocsd for unity-session. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-session/+bug/173833814:36
ubot5`Launchpad bug 1738338 in gnome-session (Ubuntu) "Have unity-session recommend gtk3-nocsd" [Undecided,Confirmed]14:36
k_alamjbicha: Can you review that?14:36
caseyseb128: after disconnecting the external monitor, suspending the laptop, and reconnecting the monitor, the problem appears again. However, the output of systemd-inhibit --list has not changed; in particular, handle-lid-switch is present14:39
seb128casey, you should have an sleep inhibitor for external monitor14:40
seb128casey, does it get added if you use the settings?14:40
caseyseb128: just jiggled the settings to fix the problem, but there appears to be no change to the list14:43
seb128ok, weird14:43
seb128casey, in any case it might be fixed upstream with the recent commits mentioned in that bug, so worth waiting for the next version or building it yourself to test maybe to see if that resolves it14:44
caseyseb128: thanks, I will look into that bug further14:45
k_alamseb128: I have opened new merge request for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/1271358 . It basically merged Robert Ancell's branch with trunk. Please review. Thanks.14:45

jbichak_alam: yes, we just discussed the unity-control-center merge proposal, I'll probably take a look later14:47
jbichak_alam: please redo your unity-session merge against lp:~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-session/ubuntu14:48
jbichak_alam: also, I'd like to eventually see unity-session move out of the gnome-session package but that doesn't need to be done now14:48
k_alamjbicha: redo?14:49
jbichapropose your merge with Target Branch: Other: ~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-session/ubuntu14:50
k_alamjbicha: Ah.Right. Thanks.14:52
jbichain January, we might be switching to git for GNOME packaging but for now, the ubuntu-desktop bzr branches are the right place14:53
jbichak_alam: do you really want Technologist in your changelog signature? :)15:04
k_alamjbicha: No. Not really, it was there in gpg signature I uploaded to launchpad since the beginning. :)15:05
jbichaok, I'll remove it and upload :)15:06
k_alamjbicha: Thanks.15:07
jbichain your ~/.profile, try adding a line  export DEBFULLNAME="Khurshid Alam"15:08
k_alamI am uploading a new one.15:13
jbichak_alam: make it a 4096 bit key if you do15:21
k_alamjbicha: Ok. 4096 bit it is. :)15:24
jbichaand if you ever meet other Debian or Ubuntu developers, ask them to sign your key. When you apply to become a Debian Developer, your gpg key needs at least 2 signatures from Debian Developers15:26
