| duflu | Hey oSoMoN | 07:23 |
| oSoMoN | hey duflu | 07:27 |
| duflu | Trevinho, are you awake? :) | 07:28 |
| Trevinho | duflu: hey, yes | 07:28 |
| didrocks | good morning | 07:28 |
| duflu | Trevinho, morning... What's the process for mutter commits? Jonas approved a patch of mine but who lands it? | 07:28 |
| Trevinho | hi didrocks | 07:28 |
| duflu | Hi didrocks | 07:28 |
| Trevinho | duflu: if it's under commit-now, he can land it or I can too... | 07:29 |
| Trevinho | duflu: anyone with gnome git push can... | 07:29 |
| Trevinho | if I get the "commit-now" flag I generally just go ahead, otherwise I wait for a maintainer | 07:29 |
| duflu | Trevinho, how would I know if I have such powers? | 07:30 |
| Trevinho | duflu: you know if you have them :-D | 07:30 |
| * didrocks is still waiting for patch reviewing for 2 months on the Shell, lucky duflu ;) | 07:30 | |
| Trevinho | duflu: I mean you need to follow a registration process... | 07:30 |
| duflu | didrocks, I have one older than that :/ | 07:30 |
| Trevinho | but not it's on invitation or sort off | 07:30 |
| duflu | Trevinho, OK, please: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790309 | 07:30 |
| ubot5 | Gnome bug 790309 in wayland "Wayland shell surface doesn't capture cursor or keyboard input" [Normal,New] | 07:30 |
| Trevinho | didrocks: I'm in the same boat too.. with maaaany commits. Only Jonas is the one who really reviews so far :-( | 07:31 |
| duflu | (master and 3.26) | 07:31 |
| Trevinho | duflu: ok I'll do it soon | 07:31 |
| duflu | Ta | 07:31 |
| didrocks | Trevinho: yeah, quite frustating. Good that Jonas is on top on the wayland side at least :) | 07:32 |

| didrocks | good morning willcooke | 08:42 |
| willcooke | hey didrocks | 08:43 |
| andyrock | good morning | 08:47 |
| willcooke | hihi andyrock | 08:47 |
| didrocks | hey andyrock | 08:47 |
| willcooke | The power is going off here at some point today, don't know when exactly. I'll switch to 3G so it should be fine | 08:48 |
| willcooke | but if I vanish, that's why | 08:48 |
| seb128 | good morning desktopers, hey willcooke didrocks andyrock | 08:50 |
| didrocks | hey seb128 | 08:55 |
| seb128 | hey didrocks :) | 08:56 |
| didrocks | Trevinho: do you think you can review https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=792354? (as this one is small and self-contained) | 08:59 |
| ubot5 | Gnome bug 792354 in general "panel: center date entry with workarea" [Normal,New] | 08:59 |
| Laney | hao | 09:02 |
| andyrock | hey Laney | 09:05 |
| andyrock | Laney: do you mind taking a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/httmock/+bug/1735160 ? | 09:05 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1735160 in python-nacl (Ubuntu) "[SRU] Please backport python3-macaroonbakery 0.0.6-1 [universe] from bionic" [Undecided,New] | 09:05 |
| seb128 | hey Laney, how are you? | 09:06 |
| Laney | hey andyrock seb128 | 09:08 |
| Laney | seb128: i'm alright, was just looking at the christmas tree which is still up | 09:09 |
| * Laney is receiving bad luck now | 09:09 | |
| Laney | :(! | 09:09 |
| Laney | you? | 09:09 |
| Laney | andyrock: yeah ok | 09:09 |
| andyrock | danke | 09:09 |
| seb128 | is that bad luck to keep those after the new year? | 09:09 |
| Laney | I'll comment on the bug with feedback? | 09:09 |
| seb128 | I'm good thanks :) | 09:10 |
| Laney | after the 12th night which is jan 6 | 09:10 |
| didrocks | hey Laney | 09:21 |
| Laney | yo didrocks | 09:32 |
| Laney | you ok? | 09:32 |
| didrocks | I'm okish ;) yourself? | 09:37 |
| andyrock | who's willing to review some software-properties code? | 09:42 |
| Laney | GREAT! | 09:47 |
| * duflu thinks Laney is probably answering didrocks, not andyrock | 09:52 | |
| andyrock | ahah :D | 09:52 |
| andyrock | 💔 | 09:52 |
| * Laney already signed up to some review :-) | 09:54 | |
| seb128 | andyrock, I can try to have a look if nobody steps up (though week is going to be busy for me catching up post holidays and preparing next week), but could you try to ping bdmurray in case he would be wanting to do that? I think he did look at some of the changes there in the past and software-properties is foundations-maintained iirc | 10:12 |
| willcooke | Anyone had a play with this: https://github.com/lestcape/Gnome-Global-AppMenu ? | 10:42 |
| duflu | Not to be rude, but instead; good night | 10:43 |
| didrocks | willcooke: unsure if this is the popular one, but I got mixed reviews from users on the appmenu extension (only partially working and so on) | 10:45 |
| willcooke | ah right, I expected it wouldnt be a great experience | 10:46 |
| didrocks | could work quite well for gtkapplications, but most of them have migrated to headerbar anyway | 10:47 |
| didrocks | the only one which would have been great is gnome-terminal, which isn't supported under wayland from the README | 10:48 |
| willcooke | hexchat is the biggest pain point for me atm | 10:49 |
| didrocks | I have a special "gnome-terminal profile" not showing the menu for weechat | 10:50 |
| didrocks | have you tried Polari? I heard it's crashing a lot though | 10:51 |
| willcooke | Haven't looked, but the idea of having to a different app just because menus don't work seems, odd ;) | 10:51 |
| willcooke | like, I dont want to have to | 10:51 |
| didrocks | yeah, just that one should be better integrated, not a fix per say :) | 10:52 |
| Laney | andyrock: did you mean to have a py-macaroon-bakery task instead of a python-nacl one? | 11:21 |
| andyrock | Laney: sorry? | 11:34 |
| andyrock | there is just one bug | 11:34 |
| Laney | yes but 4 tasks on it | 11:35 |
| Laney | there's no change for python-nacl there but there is a py-macaroon-bakery one | 11:40 |
| Laney | anyway, I commented, thanks for the work so far | 11:41 |
| willcooke_ | Trevinho, are you free at 1400 UTC (~ 2 hrs) for a design meeting re: themes? | 12:09 |
| andyrock | thanks Laney I'll take a look after lunch | 12:24 |
| Trevinho | willcooke_: hey... Yes! | 13:02 |
| didrocks | Trevinho: have you seen my request for review this morning? :) | 13:03 |

| willcooke_ | * BlueZ 5.48 for bionic: | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - Git setup done: https://git.launchpad.net/~bluetooth/bluez?h=ppa-bionic | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - Completed testing with a few devices. Works well here. Possibly slightly better than 5.46 does right now? | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - PPA ready (modulo blocked builds :P) for bionic: https://launchpad.net/~bluetooth/+archive/ubuntu/bluez | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - Test at your leisure. | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | * Pure Wayland apps (including mpv) not responding to the mouse (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1739625) | 14:36 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1739625 in mutter (Ubuntu) "Mouse events pass through pure Wayland windows (that use wl_shell)" [High,In progress] | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - Yes, really. I can't believe I missed this after recommending mpv to everyone. | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - Invested a couple of days and proposed a fix upstream: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=790309 | 14:36 |
| ubot5 | Gnome bug 790309 in wayland "Wayland shell surface doesn't capture cursor or keyboard input" [Normal,New] | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - This was also interesting to me to learn about Wayland's WM interfaces. | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - Fix landing soon. I hope it will be in time for mutter 3.26.3. | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | * Unresponsive touchpads (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1696929) | 14:36 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1696929 in libinput (Ubuntu Bionic) "Touchpads are unresponsive and laggy for small finger movements" [High,Triaged] | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - Good news: Tested on more laptops with great success. | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - Bad news: A couple of days ago upstream changed the algorithm again, in a risky way. So now I'm going to have to restart testing all over again. Then hopefully will distro-patch this week. | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | * HELP: Fixes still awaiting sponsorship: | 14:36 |
| willcooke_ | - https://code.launchpad.net/~vanvugt/gtk/fix-1698270/+merge/331846 | 14:37 |

| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1732629 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Selecting USB Amp/Dac audio output in gnome sound does nothing" [Medium,In progress] | 14:37 |
| willcooke_ | * Daily bug management across gnome-shell, mutter, gdm3, ubuntu-themes, bluez, pulseaudio, dkms, mir, wayland, totem, mpv, libinput. | 14:37 |
| willcooke_ | * Completed retrospective bug reviews for all new bugs logged during my vacation: pulseaudio, totem, mpv, gnome-shell, mutter, dkms, wayland, ubuntu-themes, gdm3, mir | 14:37 |
| willcooke_ | - Worth noting: gnome-shell needs more people answering its bugs. | 14:37 |
| willcooke_ | - Also worth noting: nautilus (Ubuntu) needs a massive bug clean-out. | 14:37 |

| jbicha | https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-January/msg00004.html | 14:37 |
| jbicha | • Uploaded the Desktop Sharing panel for unity-control-center written by robert_ancell, updated by k_alam | 14:37 |
| jbicha | • Uploaded up-to-date vino, leaving only vala (scheduled for late January) and gnome-terminal/vte at the 3.24 versions as the only GNOME components not at 3.26 | 14:37 |
| jbicha | • Mozilla has announced the next ESR will be 60 instead of 59. That means 18.04's Thunderbird will probably still depend on gtk2 | 14:38 |
| jbicha | since 52 ESR still supports NPAPI plugins besides Flash. | 14:38 |
| jbicha | If debconf is ported to gtk3 soon, that will make 18.04.1 the first Ubuntu release without gtk2 (since it will have Thunderbird 60) | 14:38 |
| jbicha | https://wiki.mozilla.org/RapidRelease/Calendar | 14:38 |
| jbicha | • I won't be at next week's meeting | 14:38 |

| willcooke_ | didrocks, you're up | 14:46 |
| didrocks | so, Nautilus… | 14:46 |
| didrocks | as most of you know, they are removing the desktop feature in 3.28 | 14:47 |
| didrocks | this leaves up for the LTS with some options (I'll had the link reference later on): | 14:47 |
| didrocks | - keep nautilus 3.26 for the LTS (and still enable the desktop feature in our session) | 14:47 |
| didrocks | pro: it works | 14:47 |
| * seb128 votes that one | 14:47 | |
| * willcooke_ seconds | 14:47 | |
| didrocks | cons: we are are not updating to latest | 14:47 |
| didrocks | - switch for desktop only to someting else like nemo | 14:48 |
| didrocks | pro: upstream suggests this | 14:48 |
| didrocks | cons: it's crazy, we are not going to support another code base for the LTS in addition to Nautilus | 14:48 |
| didrocks | also, it might not integrate well | 14:48 |
| didrocks | create new bugs | 14:48 |
| didrocks | - update nautilus to 3.28 and ship/work on the extension for G-S | 14:48 |
| didrocks | pro: long term solution | 14:48 |
| didrocks | cons: not enough time IMHO to deal with it | 14:49 |
| didrocks | will be detremendous to other options | 14:49 |
| seb128 | does that extension exist? | 14:49 |
| didrocks | and other bug fixes | 14:49 |
| didrocks | it does | 14:49 |
| didrocks | it's a prototype though | 14:49 |
| seb128 | in a working/feature complete state? | 14:49 |
| didrocks | have a lot of lacking feature | 14:49 |
| seb128 | k | 14:49 |
| didrocks | and doesn't integrate DnD from Nautilus to desktop for instance | 14:49 |
| willcooke_ | I say we stick with what we know works | 14:49 |
| jbicha | https://gitlab.gnome.org/csoriano/org.gnome.desktop-icons < is the extension | 14:49 |
| Trevinho | I guess integrating with nautilus is the hardest part, as it would probably need some new APIs | 14:49 |
| didrocks | I would suggest we keep Nautilus 3.26, and work on the extension in parallel | 14:49 |
| Trevinho | so, not really something we could reuse easily | 14:49 |
| oSoMoN | is there a clear development schedule for that extension? | 14:50 |
| Trevinho | yeah, agree | 14:50 |
| seb128 | no | 14:50 |
| didrocks | as we will be likely be the only ones wanting this with some of the communities | 14:50 |
| seb128 | csoriano doesn't plan to work on it | 14:50 |
| didrocks | there are items to get worked out on the issue tracker | 14:50 |
| jbicha | I think option 1 is what upstream expected from us, although I'm sure they hoped Canonical would choose option 3 now and help make it great | 14:50 |
| didrocks | but it's more a PoC | 14:50 |
| didrocks | we will need to work on it for keeping the desktop if it's what we want in the long term | 14:50 |
| didrocks | that will give us spare time, post FF, to work on it IMHO | 14:50 |
| didrocks | (I'm happy to have a look after March) | 14:50 |
| seb128 | option 1 is what I told upstream on IRC we would likely do before holidays | 14:50 |
| didrocks | sounds like there is not surprise in this meeting, I was for option 1 as well :) | 14:51 |
| oSoMoN | sounds like option 1 is the only reasonable one | 14:51 |
| didrocks | no* | 14:51 |
| oSoMoN | so not much choice | 14:51 |
| seb128 | one option we didn't list (but I don't know how doable it is) is to to distro patch revert the feature drop in 3.28 | 14:51 |
| didrocks | https://gitlab.gnome.org/csoriano/org.gnome.desktop-icons/issues/1 | 14:51 |
| didrocks | FYI is what is mainly lacking ^ | 14:51 |
| seb128 | but my understanding is that they drop the code because it blocks some refactoring they want to do | 14:51 |
| jbicha | I think we should consider disabling desktop icons by default even though it makes sense to stay with nautilus 3.26 for 18.04 | 14:51 |
| seb128 | so probably not easy to revert | 14:52 |
| didrocks | seb128: basically, Nautilus will have a real backend at some point | 14:52 |
| didrocks | (unsure if it's for 3.28) | 14:52 |
| didrocks | from that point, reverting will be really hard | 14:52 |
| oSoMoN | is nautilus 3.26 going to work well with the rest of the stack being 3.28 ? | 14:52 |
| Trevinho | jbicha: mh, not sure... I'm not a lover of them, but still otherwise it's just an empty space to me. | 14:52 |
| didrocks | however, from the extension, we need to help shaping the backend API | 14:52 |
| Trevinho | and people is used to have them around | 14:52 |
| didrocks | which is why it's interesting to contribute ASAP | 14:52 |
| Trevinho | oSoMoN: normally apps aren't broken in such cases | 14:53 |
| jbicha | Trevinho: I'm not saying we need to disable desktop icons; I think we should think about it though :) | 14:53 |
| seb128 | oSoMoN, yes, it's mostly an application | 14:53 |
| didrocks | if people are interested in more details about the topic: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/158 | 14:53 |
| Trevinho | also so far gnome 3.28 in terms of G-S/muttter changes isn't really a thing.. At least unless they won't merge the fractional branches! :-| | 14:53 |
| Trevinho | jbicha: yeah, sure... I just said my opinion :) | 14:54 |
| jbicha | also a useful link: > https://csorianognome.wordpress.com/2017/12/21/nautilus-desktop-plans/ | 14:54 |
| didrocks | let's focus on 18.04 for now | 14:54 |
| seb128 | didrocks, I think it would be nice to help/work on that but that feels like post-LTS, or at least not before the features that are important for the LTS land | 14:54 |
| jibel | to reply to jbicha disabling desktop icons by default will be a problem for the live session which has the installer, examples and oem setup icons on the desktop | 14:54 |
| * Trevinho loves working with gnome's gitlab, btw :) | 14:54 | |
| didrocks | I think keeping the desktop drawing icons make sense, we have a big transition already for LTS users (unity -> G-S) | 14:54 |
| didrocks | seb128: exactly my point (this is why I envision post FF) | 14:54 |
| jibel | if desktop icons are disabled these links should be moved to the launcher | 14:55 |
| seb128 | let's see post FF what is most needed | 14:55 |
| didrocks | yep | 14:55 |
| didrocks | so, I guess +1 for staying on nautilus 3.26 for the LTS? | 14:55 |
| seb128 | ubiquity is already in the launcher, examples might get removed from the desktop this cycle from what willcooke was saying | 14:55 |
| seb128 | oem setup I don't know | 14:55 |
| seb128 | didrocks, seems we have concensus on that option yes | 14:56 |
| seb128 | thanks for bringing the topic up :) | 14:56 |
| didrocks | yw ;) | 14:56 |
| willcooke_ | cool | 14:56 |
| willcooke_ | anyone got anything else? | 14:56 |
| jbicha | (I support the nautilus 3.26 choice this cycle too) | 14:56 |
| didrocks | I'll put a reference on the community hub | 14:56 |
| willcooke_ | thanks didrocks | 14:56 |
| willcooke_ | ok, if there is nothing else, I will end the meeting | 14:57 |
| jbicha | the other concerned Ubuntu flavors (Budgie & Unity) should prepare for nautilus 3.28/3.30 for 18.10 though | 14:57 |
| seb128 | what do they need to prepare? | 14:58 |
| jbicha | maybe something like the nemo-desktop app hack will actually work good enough for them | 14:58 |
| seb128 | ah, to have a desktop | 14:58 |
| didrocks | yep, no G-S extension for them | 14:58 |
| gQuigs | is there a plan for what to use all that wasted space where people expect a desktop? I can't find it in the design docs.. | 14:58 |
| jbicha | they need to know that we don't necessarily plan to stay on nautilus 3.26 for long | 14:58 |
| seb128 | or just switch away from nautilus to nemo | 14:58 |
| didrocks | I'll probably blog about it anyway on planet ubuntu (not this week, but maybe next one) | 14:59 |
| didrocks | that way, they will get the memo and 6 months to prepare a plan :) | 14:59 |
| jbicha | gQuigs: the idea is you use all that space for your running apps and don't spend time looking at an empty desktop ;) | 14:59 |
| gQuigs | jbicha: right, but it loads by default to an empty desktop (right?), so everyone has to look at it... | 15:00 |
| seb128 | typical GNOME wishful thinking wanting users to behave as they expect and not as they do :p | 15:00 |
| mdeslaur | who cares about users? ;) | 15:00 |
| jbicha | gQuigs: GNOME 3 has always disabled desktop icons by default (so that's nearly 7 years now) | 15:00 |
| seb128 | exactly, especially those who don't use the computer the way we tell them! | 15:00 |
| gQuigs | jbicha: yup, I was just expecting something to eventually happen with that space... oh qwll | 15:00 |
| seb128 | willcooke_, you should wrap :) | 15:00 |

| willcooke_ | thanks seb128 | 15:00 |
| gQuigs | I'll have my launchpad triage group target nautilus this week | 15:00 |
| seb128 | thanks | 15:01 |
| didrocks | thanks! | 15:01 |
| jbicha | gQuigs: I mean GNOME could do like the iPhone and have the "desktop" be the same thing as the app launcher | 15:01 |
| seb128 | at least that would be a rational for not letting files on there | 15:01 |
| gQuigs | +1 | 15:02 |
| jbicha | they might even do that, but that would make it even more difficult for people who want to override the default to have desktop icons | 15:02 |
| seb128 | I don't think it would make sense to override the default in that case | 15:02 |
| seb128 | the desktop would become something else, deal with it | 15:02 |
| didrocks | and posted | 15:02 |
| seb128 | it's just now that they force you into wasting the space | 15:02 |
| gQuigs | jbicha: no reason to override it, most people just wants link to click there.. they'd get it | 15:02 |
| seb128 | which is stupid | 15:02 |
| gQuigs | heh, I'll go suggest it | 15:04 |
| jbicha | there was talk about reworking the Activites Overview to make it feel more integrated or something | 15:05 |
| gQuigs | that was what they originally did (I don't remember that), but it was more confusing apparently | 15:44 |

| willcooke_ | andyrock, was it you working on the gnome disks patch to hide loop devices? | 17:00 |
| seb128 | willcooke_, it was him it's up for review on https://github.com/storaged-project/udisks/pull/460 | 17:01 |
| seb128 | andyrock, it's probably worth trying to give upstream a nudge about that review? | 17:02 |
| andyrock | yeah was checking that | 17:02 |
| andyrock | i'll ping them | 17:02 |
| seb128 | thx | 17:03 |
| willcooke_ | thx seb128 andyrock | 17:03 |
| willcooke_ | andyrock, seb128 are you aware of something that could be done at a lower level, that would apply to the whole desktop? | 17:09 |
| seb128 | you mean? | 17:09 |
| andyrock | where is the problem? | 17:09 |
| andyrock | like for nautilus we can ignore it | 17:10 |
| andyrock | the provided solution is already lower enough for most uses | 17:10 |
| willcooke_ | KDE have the same issue, and they felt that patching it out app by app was a bit of a pain | 17:10 |
| willcooke_ | wondering if you have any clever ideas | 17:10 |
| andyrock | yeah that's the idea behind that patch | 17:11 |
| andyrock | we use a userspace mount option | 17:11 |
| andyrock | x-gdu.hide | 17:11 |
| andyrock | kde can check for the same mount options | 17:11 |
| andyrock | now I know that here gdu stands for "gnome-disk-utilities" | 17:11 |
| andyrock | but that should not be an issue | 17:12 |
| andyrock | we can easily change the name of the mount options | 17:12 |
| andyrock | if this is needed at all | 17:12 |
| willcooke_ | andyrock, so if that goes in, would it help KDE as well? | 17:12 |
| willcooke_ | or *could* it? | 17:12 |
| andyrock | they still need to patch the apps to check if a device was mounted with that option | 17:13 |
| andyrock | but at least is generic | 17:13 |
| andyrock | oooor we could also mount the snaps with the udiks ignore | 17:14 |
| willcooke_ | thanks andyrock | 17:14 |
| andyrock | the problem was that gnome-disk-utilies does not (and does not want) to take that flag into considerations | 17:14 |
| andyrock | but I guess they already are considering that nautilus does not show them | 17:15 |
| andyrock | willcooke_: ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE} | 17:16 |
| andyrock | check this | 17:16 |
| andyrock | I guess snaps are not using this | 17:16 |
| andyrock | also because I remember I wrote some rules to add this | 17:17 |
| willcooke_ | what's the comand to show why a package is installed? | 18:28 |
| willcooke_ | *command | 18:28 |
| * willcooke_ checks rdepends | 18:30 | |
| willcooke_ | night all | 19:28 |
| oSoMoN | night | 20:21 |
