seb128hey Laney09:07
dufluHi Laney09:09
Laneyhey didrocks seb128 duflu09:10
Laneyhow's it going?????09:10
Laneynice man from the water company came this morning while I was getting dressed :(09:11
Laneybut he gave us a new shower head for free09:11
willcookeLaney, a water saving one?  Is it any good?09:12
Laneyya09:12
Laneyi'll tell you tomorrow :P09:12
Laneyhe alleges that you can't tell the difference but it saves mumble litres per shower09:13
* willcooke rubs chib 09:13
willcooke*chin09:13
seb128you would think the water company has interest in you using water and wouldn't give away free stuff to help you giving them less money09:14
dufluLaney, if unhappy you can often remove the washer from just inside the neck, making it less water saving :)09:15
Laneywe still have the old one :P09:15
Laneyseb128: oh, maybe that's why he told me to just leave the tap on all the time!09:17
seb128lol09:17
Laneyit's more convenient to not have to turn it09:17
seb128jbicha, hey09:51
jbichagood morning09:51
seb128jbicha, the trello board is to plan our work, I don't think it's the right place to list issues we consider important in the infra or other places09:51
jbichamaybe I should have just mentioned LP: #1745210 in IRC instead?09:52
ubot5Launchpad bug 1745210 in Launchpad itself "Support GNOME GitLab Issues as external bugtracker" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174521009:52
seb128I guess09:52
seb128unsure if you saw but it was briefly discussed on #ubuntu-devel09:53
jbichayes, thanks :)09:53
seb128np!09:53
seb128Laney, do you know what's the status of autopkgtests infra? is that still down due to spectrum/meltdown? or back up but with lot of backlog?10:07
Laneysecond one10:07
Laneyqueue's going down now but it's really long10:07
seb128k, well at least it's moving in the right direction :)10:08
seb128Laney, thanks10:08
Laneywant an s390x desktop10:09
seb128willcooke, fyi the update-notifier/xenial SRU is getting published to udpates/security now10:09
Laneyit's supppppppppperrrr fast10:09
willcookeseb128, thanks.  otp with jibel who said the same thing :)10:16
seb128k10:18
seb128jibel, you mentioned that the installer slides order was going to change or something around those line the other day?10:49
jibelseb128, yes, the keyboard page will move earlier, before the passphrase for encrypted volume IIRC10:51
seb128jibel, ok, thanks10:51
jibelseb128, https://code.launchpad.net/~xnox/ubiquity/move-keyboard-early10:51
jibelwhich reminds me to update the tests10:51
jibelwillcooke, filed bug 1745350 about whoopsie ids10:53
ubot5bug 1745350 in whoopsie (Ubuntu) "whoopsie id is not unique" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174535010:53
seb128jibel, if you start renaming the e.u.c registered bugs to replace ":" by "→" it would make more sense to patch e.u.c to use directly the char you want12:07
jibelseb128, I was thinking the same. it's the title e.u.c uses it make sense it uses the same when it creates a report on lp. Also this way line wrapping works and it's easier to read. I'll propose a patch12:16
seb128sounds good12:17
cyphermoxwillcooke: looks to me like wvdial is a dead project upstream too.14:55
lamontseb128: got a moment?  It would seem that when I took my upgraded-from-prolly-wily laptop from zesty to artful, I lost the gui login screen... nothing on tty7 or 8, last thing is updating UTMP about runlevel change -- I'm hoping to avoid reinstalling, but need a working gui in a few hours..14:56
lamontany thoughts/pointers?14:57
jbichadidrocks: there's a few desktop universe demotions at http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.html14:57
lamontjbicha: any chance you've seen my issue or have $CLUE to apply?14:59
jbichaI've heard rumors about meltdown/spectre fixes breaking stuff. Try a pre-meltdown kernel?15:00
lamontwill do.  though that would make me sad and I'd have to smack jdstrand with a trout.15:01
jbichasmack Intel please15:02
lamontlol15:02
lamontand yeah, it's always interesting watching yet another cpu team discover the issues with opportunistic execution and how don't-care bits are not completely don't care15:03
lamontjbicha: so what you're saying is that do-release-ugprade to artful and then purge unity, and I should have a working system still?  (modulo kernel hilarity)15:04
jbichacyphermox: btw, have you seen the issue where connecting to certain wifi networks gets something like "search public.intranet" appended to /etc/resolv.conf15:04
seb128lamont, is gdm installed/default dm?15:04
jbichacyphermox: and that makes things like sudo really slow until I remove that line15:04
lamontseb128: /etc/X11/default-display-manager contains /usr/sbin/gdm315:05
lamontand gdm3 is installed15:05
seb128but the dm doesn't start?15:05
lamontright15:05
seb128anything interesting in the journal?15:05
* lamont reboots for fresh journal15:05
seb128jbicha, I doubt gdm not showing the greater is a meltdown issue btw15:05
lamontand then I'll see about kernel15:06
* lamont will have to run away for a couple hours at around :4015:06
jbichawell I heard rumors about dkms troubles, I could be really wrong though :)15:06
* lamont wonders wtf he has postgres installed on his laptop15:07
Laneyit's tty1 with gdm btw15:08
Laneybut if not there, yeah, check journal15:08
cyphermoxjbicha: what makes no sense, unless your nsswitch.conf is messed up15:08
cyphermoxin any case, never seen that, sounds like a local network config more than anything15:09
lamontseb128: DNS is broken during startup15:09
jbichacyphermox: ok, I'll try filing a bug then. I didn't touch nsswitch.conf15:10
lamontseb128: journal shows gdm.service has finished start-up, "... result is done"15:10
seb128lamont, and no gdm error in the journal?15:10
seb128nor xorg?15:11
lamontand ps shows gdm3 with a child gdm-session-worker [pam/gdm-launch-environment]15:11
seb128is gnome-shell installed?15:11
lamontno X running15:11
lamont3.26.2-0ubuntu0.115:11
seb128could be normal if you are on wayland15:11
lamontno output for ps auxf | grep way15:12
seb128lamont, try maybe enabling debug in /etc/gdm3/custom.conf reboot and see if the journal log for gdm has more details15:12
seb128the wayland compositor is gnome-shell15:12
seb128so you should probably ps for gnome-session/gnome-shell15:12
* lamont is already reboot with debug 15:13
seb128can you share/pastebin the journal15:14
lamonthttp://paste.ubuntu.com/26458928/ <-- seb12815:16
seb128you have lxc failing to start issues, dunno if that can create problems15:18
lamontDNS being broken is because /etc/resovlconf/resolv.conf.d/head is no longer in /run/NetworkMangler/resolv.conf15:18
seb128GdmSession: Setting display device: (null)15:19
seb128is weird15:19
seb128GdmDisplay: Creating greeter for (null) (null)15:19
lamonti915 device15:19
lamonthow soon do you EOD?15:19
* lamont is happy to tell GdmSession where the device is, given a howto...15:20
lamontand I'll be happy to take my time debugging the actual problem tomorrow...15:20
seb128EOD is a bit random, depends of how things go here, I might be on and off for a couple and hours and then back for a bit in the evening15:22
seb128I'm unsure how to debug that though :/15:23
willcookethx cyphermox15:23
lamontthe "DNS not working" is because networkmangler refuses to do what I want it to (bind developer means local named, and it's all NO I OWNS YOUR DNS)15:24
seb128lamont, you can try to use WaylandEnable=false in the gdm config see if that makes a difference15:24
* lamont purges lxc to remove that factor from things15:24
lamontrebooting without wayland15:24
GunnarHjHi jbicha! Problem with autopkgtest of libpinyin. When testing libpinyin, for some reason it also tests libzhuyin and fails when doing so.15:25
GunnarHjhttps://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#libpinyin15:25
GunnarHjWhy does it care about libzhuyin (which we should probably drop from the archive anyway)? Is there some kind of ambiguity in debian/control?15:25
GunnarHjhttps://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-ime/libpinyin.git/tree/debian/control?h=debian/experimental15:25
didrocksjbicha: I wonder about gnome-orca in universe. people upgrading having main only won't have the transition…15:28
jbichadidrocks: ubuntu-desktop recommends 'orca' but we can explicitly seed it until after 18.04 if you want15:29
jbichaGunnarHj: it sounds like you also need to rebuild ibus/fcitx-zhuyin then15:30
didrocksjbicha: yeah, I'm thinking about people who removed the recommends, true that we try to add it before dist-upgrade15:30
lamonthttp://paste.ubuntu.com/26458989/ <-- seb12815:30
didrocksjbicha: as you wish, I don't have strong opinons15:30
jbichadidrocks: it sounds like these people really want to break things ;)15:30
didrocksjbicha: true enough to me, let's demote it thus15:30
jbichaGunnarHj: but if you need an autopkgtest ignored, present your reason at #ubuntu-release15:30
lamontseb128: ps has no "gnome" in the output, fwiw15:33
jbichaGunnarHj: oh that's odd, reverse-depends says ibus-zhuyin depends on libzhuyin7 but it doesn't look like it really does :|15:34
jbicha"This traditional Chinese zhuyin input method is designed for old school users"15:34
lamontjbicha: haha15:35
lamonthttp://paste.ubuntu.com/26459025/ <-- now with no psql noise15:36
GunnarHjjbicha: I have realized that ibus-libzhuyin and fcitx-libzhuyin should probably be built with libzhuyin13. Will try that in PPA.15:36
lamontJan 25 08:35:30 rover3 gdm3[2217]: GdmSession: Setting display device: (null)15:38
GunnarHjjbicha: Would that keep autopkgtest's hands from libzhuyin?15:38
jbichaibus-libzhuyin might not need to be rebuilt, it would be cool if somebody could test whether those 2 still work with the new version15:38
jbichaGunnarHj: I don't think so15:38
GunnarHjjbicha: So why is libzhuyin tested?15:40
LaneyIt seems to take over libzhuyin.15:42
lamontjbicha: seb128: pre-Spectre kernel (4.13.0-25.29) still gets Setting display device: (null)15:42
lamontwith that, afk for a couple hours.  will hope to find clue in scrollback15:43
GunnarHjLaney: "Take over"? How/why?15:43
LaneyLook at the packages it produces.15:43
Laney libzhuyin-dev: Development files for zhuyin input method library15:44
Laneyprobably something to do with it15:44
tkamppeterseb128, thanks for accepting. I have now added some forgotten build dependencies and all is working.15:48
LaneyI guess if the intention is to remove this package then it doesn't matter15:48
* Laney assumes syncing from experimental was a good thing to do here ...15:49
GunnarHjLaney: Right.. I'll do some more digging. (Syncing from experimental seemed to be a good idea at the time. ;) )15:49
seb128tkamppeter, good!15:50
seb128lamont, I don't really know, you can try reinstalling lightdm instead of gdm see how that works15:55
amano2didrocks, are you going to do the bubblewrap MIR for bionic as well?16:01
didrocksamano2: hum, is it filed as a MIR? I didn't know we wanted to seed it16:02
didrocksor needed16:02
amano2It is filed and you were supposed to MIR it16:03
amano2According to the trello card16:03
amano2Evince and some others are patched to not use it now16:03
amano2But it would be an additional security layer.16:04
didrocksamano2: ah, got trapped to not have been assigned to it: https://trello.com/c/ZMkHCrQY/20-bubblewrap-mir16:04
didrocksamano2: assigned myself and added on my list16:05
seb128amano2, didrocks, that needs a security team review first16:05
didrocksseb128: well, I'll do the normal copyright/packaging review16:05
didrocksand then, ask security, as usual16:05
amano2That slipped already for artful, sadly16:06
seb128amano2, yeah, they are busy and we don't have an high need of that one in the default install atm16:06
amano2Now we have to patch the packages to be more insecure by default16:06
didrockswell, not more insecure than it used to be, in all fairness :)16:07
seb128overstating issues never helps to resolve them16:08
jbichadidrocks: did you want to put the brotli/woff2 MIRs on your list too? LP: #174274316:08
ubot5Launchpad bug 1742743 in woff2 (Ubuntu) "[MIR] woff2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174274316:08
seb128amano2, what is that impressive list of packages that is less secure?16:08
didrocksjbicha: are you really asking for "want"? ;)16:08
seb128amano2, evince git has no mention of bubblewrap neither in NEWS nor configure.ac nor commit logs16:09
jbichadidrocks: please :)16:09
amano2Well probably not that impressive ;)16:09
seb128amano2, also evince doesn't seem to be patched or to use bubblewrap, unsure where you saw that16:10
_amanoNautilus, evince and maybe some others16:10
_amanoI can look that u16:11
_amanoP16:11
jbicha_amano: my understanding is that it's just the gnome-desktop3 library that is affected16:11
jbicha(which is stated in the MIR bug)16:12
seb128_amano, where is the evince code you mention?16:15
didrocksjbicha: mind trello-carding it, add it to backlog and assign it to me, please?16:16
didrocksthx!16:21
_amanohttp://www.hadess.net/2017/07/security-for-security-gods-sandboxing.html?m=116:22
amano2Gdk-pixbuf seems sandboxed16:23
amano2Happy weekend, desktoppers ;)16:24
amano2Tomorrow is already Happy Friday :)16:24
alan_gwillcooke, we can dispense with gtk-mir in bionic16:30
seb128alan_g, you already said that to him some time ago but thanks for confirming :)16:33
alan_gseb128, no. Two weeks ago I said it would come true in "a couple of weeks"16:33
seb128alan_g, ah ok, well we translated that to "we can do it", but thanks for coming back confirming we can :)16:37

lamontseb128: just changing /etc/X11/default-display-manager to lightdm didn't kill of gdm3...18:15
lamontwhich is to say, halp how make computar werk?18:15
sil2100seb128: hey! I built and uploaded initial normal and base bionic language-packs - I only did a quick check of the pl and en ones, but yeah, looked 'okayish'18:26
sil2100seb128: I'll just have to check if all got uploaded that should, since last time I noticed some failed during the source-build+upload stage18:27
sil2100seb128: since right now I need to get back to my SRU shift I'll re-check those tomorrow (since most of them didn't build yet even)18:34
lamontseb128: \o/  Thanks for the help.  I would like to work with someone at some point (not today) on figuring out why gdm3 hates it and lightdm loves it.18:34
oSoMoNgood night all18:50
jbichalamont: I do sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm to switch login screens, then reboot18:56
willcookenight all o/19:02
lamontjbicha: ta.  In other news, with bionic as of 2018-01-17 16:42:42 UTC, and clear back to artful, X will occasionally go into the most wonderfully strange failure mode.  Mouse moves, but focus is gone into lala land, and buttons and keys are not processed in any perceptible way.19:11
lamontNVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev a2) with nouveau driver19:12
lamontnote also that Wayland hates that card with a fiery passion (maybe), gdm3 certainly does.  So that machine is using lightdm since the change to gdm3 in artful.  I suppose I could check on that in the bionic world... just not today.19:13
gQuigslamont: you don't have both lightdm and gdm installed at the same time do you?  I've found issues with that in the past19:16
lamontgQuigs: I do, but it's easy to switch, at least until gdm3 upgrades and switches it and I have to undo it (maybe) -- tever19:18
gQuigslamont: purge one completely and see if things improve19:18
lamontthe X lockup is one of those frustrating "all I've figured out to fix it is 'hit the reset button'" kind of things19:18
lamontgQuigs: I reinstalled gdm3 only because ubuntu-desktop depends on it.  not interested in removing it, and it's clearly orthogonal to X not liking life at random times.19:19
sarnoldlamont: the 'equivs' package can apparently fake up deps19:20
gQuigslamont: I wouldn't be so positive about the clearly orthogonal part, try purging lightdm then..19:24
lamontgQuigs: well, we know that gdm gets completely lost.19:27
lamontbut yeah, today's pain is sorted "it works".  Tomorrow or later is the "let's skip productivity in the name of debuging bionic"19:28
lamontbecause of primary desktop19:28
gQuigsI've found previously that their ability to get lost is much higher when there are 2 dm installed, even if one is supposedly disabled19:30
GunnarHjjbicha: I failed to build ibus-libzhuyin and fcitx-zhuyin with the higher version of libzhuyin-dev (there seems to be more into it). So, to not break those input methods (for the case they work properly; I'm not sure of that) one idea is to exclude the libzhuyin-dev and libzhuyin13 binaries when building libpinyin. I'm about to test that in the PPA.19:36
GunnarHjhttps://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/ibus-libpinyin/+packages19:36
GunnarHjDoes that make sense to you?19:36
jbichaGunnarHj: yes I think we could do that temporarily. Could you ask Debian why it's still in experimental and if they know about those rebuild problems too?20:04
GunnarHjjbicha: Yes, I'll ask someone about that.20:07
