[00:10] kyrofa: while adding docstrings, how should I document kwargs? [03:36] hi [05:49] hi [05:50] hi [07:07] Hi there pio, kyrofa, sergiusens, popey, flexiondotorg! [07:12] Hi there elopio, kyrofa, sergiusens, popey and flexiondotorg! [07:13] hello pranavgade20 [07:13] Hi [07:14] I need some help! For the Google code-in Nodejs Snap task, can I choose https://github.com/notwaldorf/doodle [07:15] pranavgade20: that one looks good, but doesn't require the nodejs plugin [07:15] pranavgade20: I'd say, give it a try! :) [07:15] I could serve it with node [07:16] would it be okay [07:17] pranavgade20: yes, that's fine. And you could also use electron to make it more like an app: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/snap-a-website [07:18] should I? [07:19] pranavgade20: you can choose your own adventure, whatever sounds more interesting. [07:20] What i mean is that are electon and node related [07:20] i have worked with node but have no experience with electron [07:22] Nevertheless, i think i will try it with electron [07:22] Thanks! [07:24] pranavgade20: thanks to you [08:22] kenvandine: did didrocks come online today? [08:23] i havent been able to claim new tasks for like 3 days now so im getting a bit anxious [08:34] is it normal for the file to be 17.10 when i clicked on the bionic daily image download? [08:35] i tried downloading the iso and the file name had 17.10 not 18.04, and this looked a bit weird for a first timer like me [08:36] nvm its a wrong file. sorry my bad :( [08:49] didrocks: hey, this is jacob. can you review my task here: https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/5824069586911232/ [08:49] ? [08:55] coolpolygons: hey! I'm a little bit out of context, but let me give a look :) [08:57] coolpolygons: it's a nice animation! I like it ;) However, plymouth can't display mp4 or any video at this stage, it needs to be code [08:58] (commented) [08:58] didrocks: I'm not working on that task, but may I know what kind of code? [09:00] daniellimws[m]: plymouth is what display the splash screen on boot up (before the login screen) [09:00] you can code the animation either in C, or using their own script syntax (the latter is what ubuntu is using) [09:00] if you want to have a look, it's under /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ [09:01] coolpolygons: ok, I gave some pointers, hope the helps! (and answered your other question there too) [09:01] didrocks: oh thanks [09:02] yw! [09:02] didrocks: can you have a look at my task https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/5831541185839104/ [09:02] didrocks: thank you :D [09:02] heber approved my merge proposal but I think he forgot to approve it in code in [09:02] coolpolygons: extending the deadline as well :) [09:03] daniellimws[m]: ah, I was looking at that one and wanted to let heber approving. let me check [09:03] oh yeah, he approved, let me close the task [09:03] can you ensure he's merging the changes, pinging him again? [09:03] I don't have the rights on that project and so, can't merge [09:04] he's not online now though [09:04] daniellimws[m]: yeah, doesn't need to be now, just please chase him up :) [09:04] meanwhile, task approved! [09:04] thanks a lot! [09:05] thanks to you! ;) [09:07] didrocks: I'm looking at this task now, but there does not seem to be much information https://codein.withgoogle.com/tasks/6209713433739264/?sp-organization=5133577048031232&sp-is_beginner=False [09:07] daniellimws[m]: just being curious, the tests are launching gnome-software with LANG=C (or forcing any en locales?) [09:07] can you tell me more about it? [09:07] sure, one sec [09:07] didrocks: I didn't see anything like that when running [09:07] or I do not recall [09:08] interesting, I think on a non en locale, something needs to be fixed, due to string comparison, but I'll let heber handling this :) [09:09] daniellimws[m]: on the other tasks, give me 10 min to find the correct package name [09:10] ok, thanks, there's no rush, take your time :D [09:16] ok, I have now everything for you :) [09:16] daniellimws[m]: are you running 17.10? [09:17] yup [09:17] so, run "yelp" [09:18] the first link is "Getting started with GNOME" [09:18] here, you have 3 videos [09:18] Launch applications, Switch tasks… [09:18] as you can see, those are the upstream ones [09:18] meaning, there is no dock [09:18] and so, the interactions should be different for ubuntu, where we have our Ubuntu Dock installed by default [09:19] the videos are generated using some python scripts under blender [09:19] upstream generates those webm from https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-getting-started-docs [09:19] you can find the .blend file and .py script in https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-getting-started-docs/tree/animation [09:19] didrocks: i got a question [09:19] sorry wait a minute, I haven't found the videos yet [09:20] daniellimws[m]: basically, the idea is to modify/copy them adding our own videos [09:20] ah ;) [09:20] I have "introduction to gnome" [09:20] do u work with canonical on theming ubuntu? [09:20] by the way should we discuss this in the task instead? so that we don't flood the chat? [09:21] I got "introduction to GNOME" instead of "Getting started with GNOME" and there are no videos [09:21] coolpolygons: well, I work on the desktop team, I did the theme work for 17.10, but there is nobody really in charge of the "theme" itself full time. This is why we opened this community effort as it's a good (and rather easy) contribution [09:22] daniellimws[m]: I guess for the introduction, it's fine to discuss that here, then, I'll copy it in the tasks [09:22] daniellimws[m]: ah, you probably miss a package (we install it by default though) [09:22] apt install gnome-getting-started-docs [09:22] restart yelp after installing [09:24] didrocks: i see, so u guys are working on the 18.04 design now? [09:25] Coolpolygons_: I wrote a FAQ for this: https://community.ubuntu.com/t/faq-ubuntu-new-theme/1930 :) [09:26] depending on when the new theme is ready, 18.04 may stay the same as 17.10 with slights improvements [09:26] (for theming) [09:27] didrocks: there is the dock in my videos though [09:27] daniellimws[m]: in the activities view [09:27] which is the upstream behavior [09:27] not on the desktop itself [09:27] sorry what activities view [09:28] oh nevermind [09:28] the view that is display when you click on the "activities" label [09:28] ok ;) [09:29] on my side I see the dock for "Launching applications" but not the other two videos, but that does not matter too much anyways right? [09:30] daniellimws[m]: also, on the video, you can see that they trigger the hot corner (pushing on the top left), which is disabled in the ubuntu session [09:30] daniellimws[m]: well, the video is doing this: [09:30] * daniellimws[m] uploaded an image: Screenshot from 2018-01-05 17-29-49.png (131KB) [09:30] - go to the activities view [09:30] - start an application from the dock [09:30] I don't see an "activities" label though [09:30] did you click on the video? [09:30] oh oh, oops, you were referring to the video [09:30] oops [09:31] sorry if I wasn't clear :) [09:31] brain issue here [09:32] didrocks: anyways, the task is to add the dock? [09:32] daniellimws[m]: the task is generally to modify the videos to match default ubuntu experience [09:32] so, for example, on "launching the applications": [09:32] - go over the dock, which is displayed by default [09:33] (no "triggering the hot top left corner, go to the dock") [09:33] also, the dock takes the whole vertical space [09:34] - then, keep the rest of the video [09:34] like, click on activities and choose an app for the grid [09:34] as this is valid [09:34] making sense? [09:34] yea, thanks [09:34] is this because of the change from unity to gnome from 16 to 17? [09:35] this is due to our modificiations regarding the user experience between ubuntu and pure upstream GNOME [09:35] on the second video [09:35] there is no scripting involved [09:35] what's upstream exactly, sorry don't really know [09:36] the only change is to always show the dock (full height) on the desktop [09:36] and same for the 3rd video [09:36] upstream is the people/project creating the application code [09:36] for instance [09:37] firefox devs are upstream for us (ubuntu), where we package and patch it [09:37] here, gnome devs are upstream for us (ubuntu), where we fix bugs and do some modifications before delivering to our users [09:37] knowing that we are gnome developers as well, so we have the double hat :) [09:37] (but not all gnome devs are ubuntu devs and vice-versa) [09:41] ok, I have added a log of those info on the task itself [09:41] the idea is to have this page with the video started on the first login for a new user/install [09:48] didrocks: thanks again for all the help and info [09:49] yw! good luck with that task. I hope it will be fun :) [09:56] wxl,could you please take a look at my task https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/6443384929517568/ [09:58] heesen: I think that's too early, he's usually not around at this time [09:58] ok [09:59] daniellimws[m]: You were a finalist before? [10:00] yea :) [10:00] it's my last year here, and to be honest, I really want to win this [10:00] Ah hope you win it...i have a year left [10:01] thanks, but I won't deserve it if I'm not doing things well enough [10:02] Well yeah btw you need to get on the leaderboard [10:02] haha yea [10:03] What a coincidence though [10:05] Accelerator: I do have 6 completed (multi-instance) task in my pocket though [10:05] will mass submit them few hours later when the mentors come back [10:06] Well for sure you will be back on the leaderboard then.....hope i don't get out :P [10:09] Accelerator: I only have 10 tasks in now though [10:09] you sure won't be kicked [10:09] im not even on the leaderboard :( [10:09] but I haven't done any of the packaging tasks too [10:09] maybe time to finish them during the weekends [10:10] didrocks: how do you think dell did the boot screen? [10:10] Blender maybe? [10:10] if they used plymouth, wouldn't the boot screen play every time someone boots the OS? [10:11] i mean, they only made it so that it turns on once in the laptop's lifetime [10:11] and the rest of the time its the bland ubuntu boot [10:11] so thats why i thought they used an mp4 playback, but apparantly it is not according to the mentors ._. [10:11] Accelerator: apparently, even though it says blender, it is generated by code [10:12] Oh didn't know that [10:12] just now didrocks told me that the files are in /usr/share/plymouth/themes [10:12] yea I also just knew today [10:12] coolpolygons: I don't own a dell, so quite unsure to be honest. When we discussed it, it was played every time someone boots the OS [10:13] hmm... reddit and youtube said that it shows only once O_o [10:13] and honestly it is pretty long for a everytime-boot scenario [10:13] coolpolygons: but I wasn't the one suggesting it, Will (who is on holidays) has more info on that one [10:13] who is will? [10:14] Will Cooke, desktop team manager [10:14] didrocks, but we only have around 10 days left, will he be back on time? [10:14] omg only 10 days?? [10:14] daniellimws[m]: he should be back on Monday, meanwhile, there are other tasks, even way easier ones [10:14] ends at 18 [10:14] hacking plymouth isn't easy TBH [10:14] didrocks: I would like to try harder ones, as this is the only chance I'll get to do it with someone's guidance [10:14] but succeeding would be an achievement [10:14] same goes here [10:15] the last changes I did a couple of years ago for showing fsck progress, with all monitors config and such remind me hard times :) [10:15] daniellimws[m]: wait, I'm talking about coolpolygons's one [10:15] daniellimws[m]: not the blender welcome screen :) [10:15] don't mix the 2 things [10:16] oh oops [10:16] plymouth -> at boot, before the login screen [10:16] my bad [10:17] gnome welcome video -> first time a new user log in, available in "help" [10:17] (the last one is a video, generated under blender and animated via python scripts) [10:17] just to be clear ;) [10:17] I'm gonna finish this boot screen and see if i can get myself up to the leaderboard [10:17] wish me luck :D [10:18] coolpolygons: if you pownder to other tasks waiting for Will, I can guide you [10:18] depends on how hard/easy you want them (packaging tasks, code tasks, others?) [10:18] didrocks: I forgot to ask, but how do I compile/run the scripts [10:18] the .blend file [10:18] daniellimws[m]: unsure yet, let me look at the build system [10:19] didrocks: I am working on testing several ISO for bionic releases, so that I can submit them once the boot screen is completed [10:19] some help with plymouth scripting would be very nice :D [10:19] daniellimws[m]: ok, typical autotools, so ./autogen.sh && configure && make [10:20] daniellimws[m]: but for editing the video, I'm not a blender expert, but I'm sure you can open blender and it will (or have an option to) import the script with the same name [10:20] coolpolygons: unfortunately, this part isn't really documented (which is an euphemism) /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu-logo.script [10:20] is the ubuntu one ^ [10:20] if that can help [10:21] didrocks: a bit confused, I need to work with both python and blender right? [10:22] daniellimws[m]: yeah, blender can be piloted via python. you use blender to create 3d objects/scene, then, under blender you can edit some scripts, which are python, to animate it [10:22] hi elopio. I completed the task and snapped the app at https://github.com/notwaldorf/doodle [10:22] daniellimws[m]: https://docs.blender.org/manual/fr/dev/advanced/scripting/introduction.html (let me find the english equivalent) [10:22] please tell me what my next steps shou;d be [10:22] daniellimws[m]: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/dev/advanced/scripting/introduction.html simply ;) [10:23] pranavgade20: elopio is not online yet, and have you pushed your repo? [10:23] didrocks: thanks a lot :) I'll ask when I have more problems later [10:23] coolpolygons: so, I think that doesn't prevent to have a video on first boot, like on the live, we may be able to reuse your work (but need to hook it up) [10:23] nw! [10:24] coolpolygons: actually, I'm rereading it [10:25] daniellimws[m]: that is what i need to know. i am a beginner and so, need help [10:25] coolpolygons: just a tip, the leaderboard is based on the number of tasks done, I have 10 tasks and I'm not on leaderboard yet, so you may need to do more [10:25] coolpolygons: it's been 40 days since I entered the tasks, and it seems I'm wrong, the video was indeed for a first boot [10:25] pranavgade20: ok sure have you forked the snapcrafters repo [10:25] daniellimws[m]: ? [10:25] didrocks: does that mean my mp4 is ok? [10:26] sorry what task are yuo working on [10:26] daniellimws[m]: um, https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/6684453122342912/ [10:26] daniellimws[m]: and, jow do i see if i am in the leaderboard [10:26] didrocks: i read the plymouth docs and found that png were the only available formats for display, but Dell did a video, so I got confused. The task seemed to ask to mimic what Dell did, so i went ahead and made a video. [10:27] daniellimws[m]: i ment : and, how do i see if i am in the leaderboard [10:27] pranavgade20: you can go to the organisations page or this site made by students from coala if I'm not wrong https://gci-leaders.netlify.com/ [10:27] thanks! [10:27] pranavgade20: have you seen this? https://github.com/snapcrafters/fork-and-rename-me [10:28] yes [10:28] coolpolygons: so, I'm unsure how dell hook it up (at what stage), but this isn't in the task and up to us to figure out [10:28] coolpolygons: however, there is something in the Dell video: it starts from the current boot theme [10:28] meaning, you have ubuntu and the dots [10:28] then, the video starts from here [10:28] to chain to the animation [10:28] I think you should do this as well [10:28] pranavgade20: have you forked it? [10:28] daniellimws[m]: Congrats...you are back on the leaderboard [10:29] daniellimws[m]: and, how do i know the number of tasks to complete to get there? [10:29] didrocks: and all that is through plymouth? [10:29] Accelerator: woah thanks for informing [10:29] coolpolygons: and we'll need the source with different resolution, to display the correct video [10:29] np [10:29] pranavgade20: I think at least 10, to kick me off XD [10:30] daniellimws[m]: i am currently on my 8th [10:30] coolpolygons: I *think* this is done in plymouth, but needs to be checked with someone having such a system [10:30] Will should have one [10:30] didrocks: so what should i do from now? [10:30] pranavgade20: that's good, but I hope I stay haha [10:30] anyways, have you forked [10:30] yes [10:31] but what do i do next [10:31] One thing is to add the snapcraft.yaml file there [10:31] in snap/snapcraft.yaml [10:31] coolpolygons: if you want to go on on that task before we have more info from Will, I would say change the animation to start like the Dell one (with ubuntu logo and dots) so that chaining is seamless [10:31] coolpolygons: then, ensure your video (or set of videos) are working with various resolutions [10:31] as the text/logo might be in various place [10:32] pranavgade20: you also need to edit the readme, if you haven't [10:32] didrocks: does that mean that I can abandon and re-claim it after we contact Will? [10:32] then, once Will is back, we'll see if he can look on his laptop when this is triggered and where [10:32] coolpolygons: yeah, we can pause it [10:32] edit to what? the instructions arent really helpful [10:33] coolpolygons: let me write the current notes for Will [10:33] didrocks: it'd be great if we can pause it. Thank you :D and by the way, if I can get your's and Will's contacts, I can communicate with you guys (this chat seems a bit too busy) [10:33] pranavgade20: firstly you can edit the project name and description [10:34] to my project's name, right? [10:35] pranavgade20: I need to leave now, but basically you need to complete the checklist, and inform popey [10:35] yea [10:35] okay, thanks [10:35] and the description to your project's [10:35] coolpolygons: commented, I'll extend the deadline as I can't pause [10:36] will and I should be around on Monday on that channel and we'll send emails if it's too busy [10:37] didrocks: sounds great. here's my email: jpoly1219@gmail.com [10:37] didrocks: so it is safe for me to abandon task for now and resume later? [10:38] coolpolygons: no, just keep it, we'll extend the deadline as needed [10:38] alright. [10:38] thank you so much for the help :D [10:39] yw! good luck with your other tasks meanwhile :) [10:39] wxl,could you please take a look at my task https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/task-instances/6443384929517568/ [10:40] heesen: at least 5 hours left before wxl is online [10:41] accelerator, what time zone is he in [10:42] didrocks: ...and i realized that i cant claim any other tasks until the current one is done [10:42] didrocks: in other words, i need to either succeed or fail in order to move on to another tasks... [10:44] coolpolygons: oh? feel free to abandon it then [10:44] you will reclaim it later [10:44] didn't know that was so strict [10:44] yeah... alright then [10:45] thank you again :D send me an email to jpoly1219@gmail.com if u need me for whatever reasons [10:45] heesen: I think he lives in the US [10:45] coolpolygons: noted! Mine is simply didrocks @ubuntu.com [10:45] :) [10:45] with all the space in the middle? or just didrocks@ubuntu.com ? [10:46] no space, but didn't want to write as you did for spam bots… [10:46] too late now :p [10:46] alright xD [11:09] hey elopio [11:09] flexiondotorg: hey, can i ask you a question about the Ubuntu MATE Bionic release test? [11:10] coolpolygons: Sure. [11:22] if anyone can answer my question: [11:23] when filing a bug report, how do i number the bug? the instructions say to add a bug number, but I dont know what number to use [11:23] coolpolygons: you can't choose the bug number, it's incremented automatically [11:24] I guess it's "add a bug number to the task", like copying the URL? [11:24] "If an action fails, or produces an unexpected result, please submit a 'failed' result and file a bug. Please be sure to include the bug number when you submit your result." [11:24] so what should I do here? [11:27] can you link me to the task? [11:27] is that using the testing tracker? [11:27] yes. [11:28] ill send you a link to the iso tracker [11:28] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/164081/testcases/1300/results [11:28] so, when you create a testing result [11:28] scroll down to the bottom and I don't know what to do from there to "number" the bug. [11:28] you can attach to it if it fails [11:29] attach what? [11:29] have you tried to add a test result yet? [11:29] there is a "add a test result" box and I see that [11:29] yeah [11:29] click it [11:30] then, you have multiple entries to tell if the test pass or fails [11:30] and if it fails, you have an entry to add a bug number [11:31] uhh [11:31] hang on what are the "bugs to look for" box at the bottom [11:32] there are results from other images that is the same bug as mine [11:32] should i use the bug numbers there? [11:33] yes, if it's the exact same bug, don't file duplicates and reuse the bug numbers [11:34] ok, thank you! [11:34] no pb! [11:41] what happens if the bug is a new one? [11:41] how do i assign a bug number for that? [11:41] the box for critical bug says "Comma separated list of bug numbers discovered while going through the testcase" [11:42] coolpolygons: you will find the bug number on the bug [11:42] can you link to the bug [11:43] that question was just out of curiousty [11:43] but do i just find bug numbers in the box below where it says "bugs to look for"? [11:44] can you link to the test case [11:44] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/164081/testcases/1300/results [11:44] just wanted to see what happens if i needed to add a previously unfound bug (i didn't actually find one, i'm just hypothesizing) [11:45] if you dont find a bug you have to file a bug yourself [11:45] what is the bug? [11:45] i will help you with this [11:45] there isn't one, I was just curious what i would need to do if such a case happens [11:45] :P [11:46] ok you mean you didnt find a bug, right? [11:47] in this case you can keep the box empty and select the option passed [11:48] i didnt find a bug, and i know that you need to select passed if so [11:49] but i was curious what i needed to do in the future if i indeed find one, and it is not a duplicate [11:51] if you find a bug you can file a bug. ex- if installation had a bug, you can file a bug in ubiquity. if the bug is not allowing you to complete the installation then it is critical bug otherwise a normal bug [11:52] did i understand your problem? :) [11:52] so what do i put in the box "critical bug" in that case? [11:53] ubuntu-bug ubiquity ? [12:01] no the bug number [12:01] you will find the bug number once you file it [12:02] i am getting this error [12:02] i python [12:02] can someone help [12:11] omairqazi: can elaborate? [12:12] daniellimws[m]: i am making a python app to display launchpad account details but my program displays this how can i convert it into string [12:13] use repr()? [12:13] repr(your_thing) [12:13] didrocks: i cant file a bug report without giving a bug number [12:13] http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/164081/testcases/1303/results [12:21] coolpolygons: ? didn't we tell you would reuse the other bug #? [12:21] this is another one [12:22] so i found a bug where I boot into ubuntu mate and have a broken gui [12:22] but then idk what bug number to use for this... [12:22] file a bug in launchpad [12:22] then [12:23] not in the iso.qa ? [12:23] use that bug # when creating that test result [12:23] bugs are filed in launchpad [12:23] iso.qa is only for test results [12:23] where you *link* to launchpad bugs [12:23] OH NOW I GET IT [12:23] THANK YOU xD [12:23] ;) [12:24] coolpolygons: when you file a bug in launchpad on your bug you will find a bug# [12:24] and i just have to use that bug # in iso.qa [12:24] correct? [12:24] yes! [12:24] yup [12:24] :DDDDDDDDDDDD [12:25] for ex i filed a bug then i went to my bug page https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1740658 there i can see the bug # [12:25] Launchpad bug 1740658 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Select Erase disk and install Kubuntu (No such Option)" [Undecided, New] [12:25] got it? [12:25] daniellimws[m]: what does repr() do [12:26] omairqazi: got it [12:26] yay! [12:26] can i report non-ubuntu bugs though? [12:26] you mean lubuntu [12:26] omairqazi: in Python, classes can define __repr__() that will return a string representation of the object, something like Java's toString() ethod [12:26] i am testing ubuntu mate [12:26] did that work for you though? [12:26] no [12:27] then should i upload it to ubuntu mate launchpad? [12:27] coolpolygons: if you find bugs during installation then you have to file a bug in ubiquity [12:27] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug [12:28] omairqazi: then it could be possible there is not a string representation for the object, or what I said earlier was wrong [12:28] omairqazi: can you provide more context? [12:29]
