dufluOdd that the default doesn't work with modern multi-touch clickpads09:44
dufluIt probably should09:44
didrocksczajkowski: hum, was it a new install or upgrade?09:44
dufluMine is always new install09:45
didrocksok, so its not a synaptic vs libinput, the 2 being installed thingy09:45
czajkowskididrocks: upgrade09:46
czajkowskididrocks: yes but there was some oddness on the upgrade, like who turns off the clock and calendar and a few other little quirks. Once popey told me about the tweaks tool I got everything really sorted bar the right click09:47
dufluInteresting. People reported the clock and calendar was missing and I assumed they had made a mistake09:49
didrockswhat have you changed in Tweaks? That could help us smooth the upgrade for 18.0409:51
czajkowskiduflu: eh no :) it's kinda the one thing I look at daily, one I thing I need to work out is how to show multiple timezones on the clock - used to be able to by adding multiple timezones09:51
czajkowskiduflu: clock and calendar turned on09:51
czajkowskididrocks: ^09:51
czajkowskididrocks: battery amount left - now turned on09:51
czajkowskididrocks: buttons to the LEFT :D not for everyone but am so used to it I had to put them back09:52
popeyheheh09:52
czajkowskididrocks: right clicking of the track pad was borked so tried to fix that it's working just not everywere so I think there is an actual bug with it09:52
didrocksok, so battery/buttons are things that we wanted that way (and not tweaking that hidden % option :p)09:52
didrockslet me look at the clock/calendar options09:52
czajkowskididrocks: but why would you not want t know what amount of battery is left :)09:52

Nafalloare there known issues with turning on bluetooth on 18.04 currently?12:01
Nafallothe menu says Off, and gives me an option to turn it off. settings says it's off and only the color changes when I click on the slide button.12:01
andyrockNafallo: did it use to work in previous releases?12:03
Nafalloyes12:03
Nafallo17.04 at least. I didn't stay long enough on 17.10 to test :-P12:03

Nafallonow it turns on for the slider, but says it's off underneath O_O12:15
Nafalloand dmesg said stuff about connecting and disconnecting usb while it was still off everywhere, nothing now that it said on for the slider :-P12:16

Nafallosame in the menu, off and I can trigger off. but the settings work now :-)12:19

seb128tkamppeter, hey, yes, I have a look this afternoon12:29
tkamppeterOK.12:30
seb128tkamppeter, uploaded12:35
willcookeandyrock, might be a bit slow here, but I dont think there is much need for 17.10 since LP doesnt run there.  If noone else needs that version of bakery, I'd say its not worth it12:37
andyrockthe problem is not the version of the bakery12:39
andyrockbut all the packages that the backer depends on12:39
andyrockso e.g. py-macaroon-bakery requires py-macaroons12:40
andyrockversion 0.1212:40
andyrockboth in artful and in xenial there is version 0.1012:40

ubot5Launchpad bug 1727237 in systemd (Ubuntu Artful) "systemd-resolved is not finding a domain" [Undecided,Confirmed]13:43
willcookeWas it "just" a config change?13:43
didrocksmdeslaur: your testcase was exactly the one I thought when enabling the option :)13:52
mdeslaurdidrocks: heh, yours probably had a glass of nice wine ;)13:53
didrocksshhhhhhhhh ;)13:54
mdeslaurhehe13:57
cyphermoxwillcooke: more like a workaround than a fix14:54
cyphermoxbut yeah, it looks like the config change was good enough?14:55
cyphermoxthis kind of doesn't make sense since the behavior looks more like no caching and things failing because of that14:56
willcookecyphermox, ack thx.  Is there any more testing we can do with that?  And I assume that backporting to Artful isnt really worth it right?14:59
seb128cyphermox, willcooke, what was the config change/fix? the bug doesnt have much clue, also it's "fix commited" does it mean the fix is pending upload but not uploaded yet?14:59
cyphermoxwillcooke: seb128: I have no clue why xnox set it to Fix Committed, presumably because he had some code ready, but I do not know15:02
cyphermoxas far as I can tell from comment #12, what worked was disabling caching.15:02
seb128so we assume there is a fix but there is no evidence that's the case?15:02
cyphermoxseb128: ask xnox?15:03
seb128xnox, ^15:03
seb128willcooke, I don't think that issue has been resolved, at least it doesn't look like it's the case from the bug/uploads15:03
willcookeseb128, thanks. Lets see what xnox says15:03
cyphermoxseb128: fwiw, I agree, there needs to be more testing done and there will have to be some fix in systemd code15:04
seb128cyphermox, thanks15:04
seb128cyphermox, oh and happy new year btw :)15:04
willcooketkamppeter, do you know what the source of the "Added printer XYZ...." notifications that pop up quite often is?  I dont get it at home, but in the office an HP something-or-other pops up about once an hour.15:05
willcookeCould be a network blip which causes it to get re-added or something like that15:05

willcookeoh15:07
willcookesad face15:07
seb128yeah :/15:08
willcookeI think my theory could  be correct15:08
willcookeI think when the DHCP address gets renewed, thats when it pops up15:08
willcookeWill comment on that bug15:09
seb128yeah, could well be15:09
seb128unsure those notifications are ever useful15:09
seb128I get one of those every time I work for a coffee nearby15:09
willcookehmm, I quite like that it says "Hey!  I did a thing and found a printer"15:10
seb128and I neither care about that printer nor have the permission to use it15:10
willcookebut not every 10 mins otr what ever15:10
seb128I guess it's useful when you buy a new printer and connect it and it just works15:10
seb128but when connecting to a random wifi what you are looking for is probably not to know what printers are available15:10
seb128but yeah, tricky to make the difference :/15:11
mdeslaurunless you are actively trying to print something, I don't know why you'd want to get those notifications. my 2c15:13
xnoxcyphermox, willcooke, seb128 - so two things. I did set it to fix committed, when i committed in systemd-git to disable dns caching. But there was no positive responses on the bug stating that that fixes things. Secondly, I have realised that potentially network-manager resolved plugin doesn't correctly mark discovered domains as search-domains, and passes them as routing domains only. I think that bit also needs fixing.15:14
* xnox reads comment #1215:14
xnoxhm, there is a request on how to test things.15:15
xnoxmaybe i should prepare a package in an silo with caching disabled and ask people to test things?15:15
xnoxhmmm maybe UCL uses that wifi hotspot solution15:19
cyphermoxxnox: NM dns plugin setting things as a domain or search-domain would not make a difference for the bug15:21
xnoxack15:22
cyphermoxxnox: as I mentioned yesterday, I can trek out to test with Cache disabled on friday, maybe?15:22
xnoxyeap, you did. And it's the same arubababababah network thing right?15:22
cyphermoxyeah15:23
xnoxcause my attempts to find that one in the wild, were so far futile.15:23
cyphermoxstarbucks is evil15:23
* xnox this is like Pokemon Go15:23
cyphermoxI have two locations that "work" in that they exhibit the bug, they're just 40 km out.15:23
xnoxcyphermox, you have incentives ;-)15:28
=== pavlushka_ is now known as pavlushka
tkamppeterwillcooke, the "Printer Added" should be triggered when CUPS creates a print queue. Then CUPS shouts into the D-Bus and some GUIs (like GNOME) make use of these notifications.15:30
tkamppeterwillcooke, print queues are automatically created by cups-browsed, based on DNS-SD broadcasts.15:32
tkamppeterwillcooke, usually a queue is created when a printer is turned on or connected or when the computer enters a network with a printer.15:33
cyphermoxxnox: yeah, I was wondering what the hell this weird email from starbucks was15:34
tkamppeterwillcooke, the queue is removed when the printer is turned off or disconnected, the computer leaves the network, or cups-browsed stops.15:34
xnoxcyphermox, it was so bilingue!15:34
tkamppeterwillcooke, this should not be every 10 minutes.15:35
tkamppeterwillcooke, can it be that your Wi-Fi connection is very unstable?15:36

willcookegrrr.  And of course while I have a tail running on syslog it doesn't bloody do it, does it.16:23
willcookexnox, re: n-m/resolved bug - do I understand correctly, you're on the case?16:24
willcookexnox, if so, I'm travelling over the weekend, so will happily test PPAs etc16:24
xnoxwillcooke, i have theories and no access to a bad network to test them.16:28
xnoxwillcooke, and it's non-trivial to test things; as one needs to have cached state locally and/or two machines with different sets of things (as access points tend to "remember" macs / authentications)16:29
Nafallomeh. my friend with an Aruba at home moved to China for a year, or I might have been able to help test stuff :-P16:35
Nafalloxnox: in case you need testing on UBNT UniFi I have stuff :-)16:36
