jbichaheads up on LP: #1744619 maybe we want to discuss at today's meeting? We'll need to add a Community hub discussion to let Unity in particular know that this is coming12:40
ubot5Launchpad bug 1744619 in network-manager-vpnc (Ubuntu) "libnm-glib removal transition" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174461912:40
didrocksgood idea jbicha12:47
seb128hey jbicha12:58
seb128jbicha, no opinion from me on kickstart12:59
seb128jbicha, is the libnm-glib removal an upstream move? in which version?13:00
jbichait's deprecated and being removed from Debian. The GNOME Shell part is probably landing in 3.28, see GNOME bug 78981113:02
ubot5Gnome bug 789811 in general "[PATCH] network: port to libnm" [Normal,Assigned] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78981113:02
jbichagnome-control-center was ported away from libnm-glib sometime before 3.22 (according to the Debian changelog)13:03
seb128jbicha, that lib is a part of network-manager source no?13:22
jbichayes13:22
seb128is upstream removing it?13:22
jbichaI don't know, maybe mbiebl knows13:23
seb128if upstream isn't removing it why do we need to?13:23
jbichait's a pain to maintain diffs from Debian for all the NM plugins in Ubuntu13:24
seb128I don't understand why we need a diff? if they transition them to not use that lib it's fine13:25
seb128them making plugins not using the lib isn't a reason for having to remove the lib though, is it?13:25
seb128keeping the lib gives us more option, not less13:26
jbichacould you ask mbiebl your questions? :)13:27
seb128mbiebl isn't suggesting we do anything in bionic afaik13:28
seb128unsure why I would ask him questions13:28
seb128you are the one who said wanted to discuss the topic13:28
jbichaactually, he is because those VPN plugins would be autosynced to bionic now if I hadn't added a block-proposed bug13:29
* didrocks understood from the description that the package would be removed from Debian (and so, not coming from upstream), but it seems it's not the case13:29
seb128jbicha, I don't see the issue of autosyncing the plugins?13:30
jbichaI know that he held off from pushing the VPN plugins without libnm-glib support until he patched gnome-shell this week13:30
seb128if they stop using a lib it's fine13:30
seb128why would that be an issue?13:30
jbichamy understanding is that gnome-shell's network menu won't display VPNs any more with the Debian VPN packages until we add the gnome-shell patches13:30
jbichaI don't use VPNs, so I'm kinda guessing here13:31
seb128https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789811 has details13:34
ubot5Gnome bug 789811 in general "[PATCH] network: port to libnm" [Normal,Assigned]13:35
seb128but basically the issue is that you can't load the gir bindings for the old and new lib13:35
seb128they symbol conflict or something13:35
seb128so the shell extensions and code needs to be in sync on which one they use13:35
seb128nothing requires us to drop libnm-glib though13:35
seb128that's just a lib, u-c-c can keep using it fine13:35
seb128the issue is when you mix both in the same process, e.g g-s and plugins13:36
seb128so to me it seems fine to sync the plugins and include the g-s patch13:36
seb128we don't need to remove the lib or port u-c-c if nobody has slots to work on that13:36
jbichawhen I asked mbiebl yesterday, he though that u-c-c wouldn't show VPNs (because the Debian VPN packaging drops support for the old library and I think u-c-c never got support for the new library)13:37
seb128I don't understand that part13:40
seb128it's also not clear to me that we need to build without -glib support to be able to able to use the libnm code13:43
alan_gHi, is there a way to prevent GTK apps drawing shadow decorations? (Preferably an env variable I can set when switching to Mir.)14:09
alan_gIt seems to have been asked on the internet many times without a useful (to me) answer.14:09
jibelseb128, do we have to wait 7 days to publish update-notifier to the security pocket?14:21
seb128jibel, that's a question for the security team I guess14:31

didrocks* Rebased ubuntu dock on latest master + some bug fixes. Uploaded to bionic.14:34
didrocks* Contributed to travis.debian.net to support ubuntu! Hook that up in the communitheme work (to ensure every PR can at least build the sass code): https://github.com/lamby/travis.debian.net/pull/56 and https://github.com/lamby/travis.debian.net/pull/55.14:34
didrocks* Pinged on the session discussion, didn't hear back yet. Meanwhile, implemented the "can disable session mode extension" instead of forcing them, and ensure -prefs reflect the correct status. This was the minimal agreement. Also, the widgets are disabled in -prefs if the gsettings keys aren't writable. Will need to update Tweaks and chrome extensions for this, but wait on upstream's feedback.14:34
didrocks* Was pinged by Google as our codelab markdown support (https://tutorials.ubuntu.com) is better than their. They want it for Google I/O. I didn't have time to write tests at the time that's why I didn't contribute it back (I have other contributions to upstream codelabs). They will write the tests, so rebased and opened https://github.com/googlecodelabs/tools/pull/33.14:34
didrocks* Got an icon and pinged again upstream for sound above 100%. Now, it's on the GNOME Shell review list!14:34
didrocks* Look and read various changes proposed at GNOME Shell design hackfest.14:34
didrocks* GCI finale reviews and help and cast my vote for winners.14:34
didrocks* GNOME Todos MIR.14:34

kenvandine- systemd: Tests for finding out why auto setup of USB printers stopped working in Artful. Problem was that device does not get unregistered from systemd when unplugging. Updated to Bionic and problem went away.14:42
kenvandine- system-config-printer: Updated UDEV rules and systemd unit file to upstream-supplied ones as these work around the quoting/unquoting problem of systemd (bug 1721839).14:42
kenvandine- system-config-printer: Updated ippusbxd support patch to only start ippusbxd when printer is not HP (HPs get set up with HPLIP to make scanning work) and to not create a queue when ippusbxd is used as cups-browsed or CUPS creates a queue then.14:42
kenvandine- ippusbxd: Released upstream version 1.32: Minor changes, mostly bug fixes and documentation.14:42

jbichaseb128: do you plan to enable bionic langpacks soon?14:44
seb128jibel, I was waiting on the launchpad team to do an export, I emailed them a few weeks ago14:45
seb128seems like they didn't reply to my email but did an export on thursday now14:45
seb128so I'm add that to my list for this week14:46
jbichathanks14:46
seb128yw, thanks for pointing that out14:46
kenvandineanything else?14:46

willcookethanks everyone14:47
seb128urg14:47
sil2100seb128: the bionic langpack exports are now weekly + I set up l-o-m to do a langpack run on the next day, we're using the schedule of yakkety now14:47
kenvandinesil2100, not interrupting at all :)14:47
seb128I though jbicha wanted to discuss nm-glib?14:47
kenvandineoh...14:47
kenvandinesorry14:47
kenvandinei thought i waited long enough :)14:47
didrocksI don't know if the previous discussion was already enough and derailed the aob ;)14:48
seb128sil2100, k, it's annoying how guys are doing those changes and keep us out of the loop, I had emailed wgrant mid decembre about that and never got a reply14:48
seb128sil2100, anyway, I consider then that you handle langpacks/translations and I stop carring then, one less thing to do :)14:49
didrocks(that should have been a \o/)14:50
seb128lol14:50
seb128jbicha, didrocks, bottom line on that nm-glib issue from what I understood is that g-s/plugins need to use the same code, we don't need to drop nm-glib since it doesn't hurt having it around, but somebody needs to investigate the impact on unity and if people have time to fix u-c-c/how much of an issue that is for their team14:51
seb128solutions probably include re-enable the nm-glib code in the plugins (if that doesn't lead to issues with g-s)14:52
sil2100seb128: sorry about that! I just didn't know who's responsible for those actually, making sure the langpacks are up and running was in the release checklist so I 'followed' :(14:53
seb128GunnarHj, jbicha, seems like sil2100 took over langpacks so if you have questions/issues with those in the futur he's the one to redirect complains to14:53
seb128sil2100, pitti handed that over to me when he left so I've been looking after it, but you taking over is fine14:53
sil2100seb128: the LP team already prepped everything beforehand, then they seemed to be waiting for someone to give them green light14:53
seb128pitti, sorry for the ping :)14:53
pittiseb128: don't be; nice to see that they stay in good hands :)14:53
seb128sil2100, as said, I email them and they never bothered replying14:54
* pitti hugs sil2100 and se12814:54
seb128pitti, :)14:54
pittiand seb128 too14:54
* seb128 hugs pitti14:54
* sil2100 hugs pitti and seb128 14:54
sil2100Hug party!14:54
pittiseb128: in fact, I got a few "udisks" pings from the meeting and was secretly reading along14:54
seb128haha14:54
kenvandine:)14:54
seb128andyrock has been doing good work :)14:54
sil2100seb128: anyway, I can surely help with langpacks as I have some bare knowledge, but didn't mean to snatch that from you if you're the driver14:54
* pitti hugs andyrock too then :)14:55
andyrock:D14:55
seb128sil2100, well you just did so congrats on the new reponsability :)14:55
pittisil2100: I figure it's much more of a hot potato than a trophy :)14:55
sil2100seb128: I... I don't think I actually want that ;p14:55
jbichapitti: don't tell him! ;)14:55
seb128sil2100, too late :p14:55
sil2100seb128: but seriously speaking, if you want I can indeed pick this up, but I hope you won't mind me poking with questions?14:56
seb128sil2100, well, I don't care either way, I just want those "doing conflicting working without talking to each others" to stop, that already happened previous cycle14:57
seb128sil2100, so I let you drive14:57
seb128sil2100, feel free to ask if you have questions14:57
seb128working->work14:57
* pitti reads https://usn.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-3531-2/ , what a mess..14:58
sil2100seb128: thanks and again, sorry about that14:58
seb128no worry14:58
sil2100Seems like I sometimes suck in checking if work is not duplicated, eh14:58
seb128sil2100, so when do you plan to do a base upload to bionic?14:58
pittimdeslaur: ... so away with microcode, and retpoline it is? :/14:59
seb128sil2100, also https://dev.launchpad.net/Translations/LanguagePackSchedule still has RTM slots, shouldn't we stop those?14:59
tkamppeterkenvandine, can you have a look at my packages in NEW: cpdb-libs, cpdb-backend-cups, cpdb-backend-gcp?14:59
seb128pitti, I though retpoline was more complex and less safe and such not plan A, did that change?14:59
kenvandinetkamppeter, i'm not an archive admin14:59
kenvandinetkamppeter, maybe seb128?  please? :)15:00
pittiseb128: right, and AFAIUI it actually requires rebuilding everything15:00
sil2100seb128: I think they're not actually used on the crontab, just the document needs refreshing - as for the base packs, I guess since I just got a new thing on my plate, I'll try running the base packs this week15:00
pittiseb128: but I thought plan A (microcode) just got pulled15:00
tkamppeterseb128, can you have a look at my packages in NEW: cpdb-libs, cpdb-backend-cups, cpdb-backend-gcp?15:00
pittinot that I would know plan B or C, I'm just curious15:00
sil2100seb128: I'll keep you in the loop15:00
seb128kenvandine, tkamppeter, I can add to my list but unsure when I will get to it15:00
seb128sil2100, thanks15:01
tkamppeterseb128, will it be possible to get it into 18.04, including the MIR afterwards?15:01
seb128pitti, I'm curious as well, I've no idea if plan A got pulled or just needs another better iteration15:01
pittiseb128: yeah, let's hope for a fixed µcode..15:02
seb128pitti, my understanding was that retpoline was also tricky to get right because any third party module not rebuilt with it could screw your security15:02
pittirebuilding the entire release would be a helluva security update..15:02
pittialthough it probably doesn't matter for 95% of teh archive, but identifying the 5% that do seems awfully tricky too15:03
seb128tkamppeter, that I don't know, depends of how busy the MIR team is and what the review outcome is, also it's new code so unsure it has been tested enough to be included in a LTS during the same cycle15:03
seb128pitti, right :/15:03
pittitime to dust off my old Pentium 60?15:03
mdeslaurpitti: updated microcode will come back, as it's useful for userspace and for hypervisors15:03
mdeslaurpitti: retpoline doesn't cover all use cases15:04
pittimdeslaur: ah good, so still plan A v2.015:04
* pitti hugs mdeslaur too, "good" times to be in security teams15:04
* mdeslaur hugs pitti 15:04
mdeslaur:)15:04
pittimdeslaur: but still, my impression is that by far the biggest real-life door for this are (1) JS code and (2) untrusted VMs, right? and (1) has been thwarted by browsers by reducing the timer precision15:06
pittiso I guess for pretty much all client computers there's no reason to panic15:06
pitti(servers running cloud stuff are a different issue, of course)15:06
pitti(one of my favourite fixes recently - make computers compute less correctly to *improve* things)15:07
tkamppeterseb128, if it does not work, then we make it a central project of 18.10 and schedule the needed steps in Budapest, especially to get time slots at the NEW and at the MIR team.15:11
seb128tkamppeter, NEW and MIR are not the issue there, it's going to get done15:11
seb128tkamppeter, but it seems risky to want to make new/untested code be added and used by default during the LTS cycle15:12
tkamppeterseb128, OK, this I understand.15:12
kenvandineseb128, can you please reject my packagekit upload to xenial15:16
kenvandineseb128, i put the ppa arg after the changes file in my dput :)15:16
* kenvandine grumbles15:16
seb128kenvandine, done15:17
kenvandineseb128, thx!15:17
seb128yw!15:17
kenvandinei haven't made that mistake in years...15:19
Laneyat least it was a frozen suite :P15:20
kenvandineLaney, indeed15:20
Laneyif you use ~ppa versions and dput-ng then you get an error when doing that15:21
kenvandineoSoMoN, the chromium snap must have updated. it's been a while since the icon has lost it's mind :)15:21
kenvandineLaney, oh... dput-ng?15:21
kenvandinenever heard of that15:21
oSoMoNkenvandine, yes I published a few updates yesterday and today, which channel?15:22
kenvandineedge15:22
Laneykenvandine: yah, dput with safety checks15:22
oSoMoNright, I updated it a couple of hours ago15:22
Laneydon't think it would have saved you in this case tho15:22
kenvandineLaney, excellent, i'll have to switch :)15:22
kenvandineyeah, i had xenial in the version :)15:22
kenvandinenot ~ppa15:22
kenvandinei haven't made this goof up since the precise cycle, so i don't do it often :)15:23
Laneythere's this thing that can happen in Debian15:23
kenvandineand it was an upload that i was confident was going to go to precise, just wanted to test in a ppa first :)15:24
Laneyif you use sbuild to build your changes file (e.g. sbuild -d unstable) then this is the target your upload gets, regardless of what the changelog says15:24
Laneylots of uploads end up accidentally going to sid instead of experimental because of this15:24
kenvandineugh15:24
Laneybut dput-ng catches that one :-)15:24
LaneyI did that with glib2.0 a few years ago15:25
Laneyepic fail15:25
Laneywas during the freeze too15:25
kenvandineexcellent15:25
GunnarHjjbicha: Problems. qtwebengine-opensource-src has not been built in ppc64el and s390x. Not sure what the proper resolution is. One way might be to not build fcitx-libpinyin in those architectures.16:12
GunnarHjhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fcitx-libpinyin/0.5.2-1~exp1/+build/1426369816:12
GunnarHjhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtwebengine-opensource-src/5.9.3+dfsg-0ubuntu116:12
jbichaGunnarHj: you'll just need to ask a member of ~ubuntu-archive to remove the ppc64el/s390x binaries for those arches16:14
jbichaqtwebengine-opensource-src has a lot of rdeps so we've had to do that often already16:15
GunnarHjjbicha: Without modifying debian/control?16:15
jbichayes, if qtwebengine ever supports additional arches, we'll get those binaries built almost automatically then :)16:17
GunnarHjjbicha: Ok, I'll ping someone.16:17
GunnarHjHi seb128: Can you please remove the ppc64el/s390x binaries for fcitx-libpinyin from the archive, so the other architectures make it to -release. (fcitx-libpinyin depends on binaries from qtwebengine-opensource-src.)16:27
