Laneywhy fried?09:12
Laney(does it mean you are tasty now?)09:12
didrockstoo many things to prepare work and extra-work this week. Busy week in a nutshell :)09:13
didrockstasty, I'm not sure, fat, yes… :)09:13
willcookeoSoMoN, looks like something might be happening with the Cr. patches for vaapi at last09:51
willcookehttps://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/53229409:51
oSoMoNwillcooke, yes, I saw that yesterday, that's potentially good news10:00
oSoMoNI'll rebuild my test PPA with the updated patches on top of the latest dev branch10:01

seb128jibel, when you were testing the g-s on xenial issue you also said you were able to trigger the gwakeup issue, did you manage to get debug info about that one?10:03
jibelseb128, no, you still need it? I could only reproduce on not fully up to date systems10:05
jibelI can do it if you want10:05
seb128jibel, if it's fixed after updating there is no need to I guess, https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/70c23d0f4e2be24b26672427d4218dc8f0823597 seems to suggest it got lot of reports on old versions and almost none on updated ones, so either nobody has the update or it got resolved10:07
seb128jibel, let see how things are looking once more users are upgradeds if the update-notifier change has the wanted impact10:08
jibelseb128, I monitoring this crash for a week or 2, we'll see if the number of reports drops or not. Then I'll spend time on reproducing the issue if it is still happening on newer version10:09
jibel+ 'm10:09
seb128sounds good10:09
seb128thanks10:09
seb128Trevinho, hey, I think didrocks meant that desktop-bugs should be subscribed to those packages which I'm adding now10:23
didrocksseb128: apparently, it's not dekstop-bugs only10:24
seb128didrocks, ?10:24
didrockssee the discussion we had with Steve10:24
seb128where/when?10:24
didrocksweeks ago on -devel10:24
* didrocks looks10:24
seb128well there is an old argument desktop-packages vs desktop-bugs10:24
seb128if that's what you refear to10:24
seb128but nothing concerning canonical-desktop iirc10:25
didrocks2018-01-08 17:25:28slangasekdidrocks: the expected subscriber for MIRs is desktop-packages10:25
didrocksyep, I wasn't sure about the team name10:25
didrocksso, I guess sub desktop-packages10:25
seb128right, the same old argument -packages vs -bugs10:25
seb128I can do if you prefer, I'm not interested in having that argument again :p10:26
didrocksyeah, same here, just subscribe both… :p10:26
seb128done10:26
didrocksthx10:26
Trevinhoseb128: oh, how many groups are there? :-)10:30
didrockstoo many10:31
didrocksthat's the answer :)10:31
seb128Trevinho, desktop-bugs which we think is right and desktop-packages that some people like to argue about10:31
jibelout of curiosity, what's the difference between -bugs and -packages?10:31
seb128so let's subscribe both and avoid entering another argument10:31
Trevinhoseb128: so, how subscribe to those? are they groups or need to add as other affected?10:32
didrocks-packages is the list used for release tracking IIRC10:32
seb128Trevinho, I did it10:32
Trevinhoseb128: I can't see those in the subscrivers list10:32
TrevinhoI mean in the may be notified10:32
seb128Trevinho, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fprintd10:32
seb128"Subscribers10:33

seb128on the top right10:33
didrocksjibel: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2018/01/08/%23ubuntu-devel.html#t16:24 for context10:33
seb128jibel, unsure what the difference is, desktop-bugs is the oldest and the one we used historically, desktop-packages was created by pedro to do some qa reports later and the MIR team decided that was the one to use (wrongly imho)10:34
seb128now we have both for sort of the same purpose but not exactly10:34
didrocksit's weird to see llvm-toolchain-* being in desktop-packages10:34
Trevinhoseb128: ah, ok so wass per peroject10:34
seb128desktop-packages is boggus10:34
LaneyI was going to move one over10:34
Trevinhoproject... Can't type today10:34
seb128imho10:34
Laneydoesn't really matter to me which way we do that10:35
didrocksseb128: not all the MIR team, that wasn't discussed in any MIR team meeting10:35
Laneypresume some things will need to be updated either way10:35
Laneyreports or what have you10:35
seb128right10:36
seb128well it's boggus and annoying to fix and nobody seems interested/having enough of a clue to sort it out10:37
seb128so we are likely going to keep having 2 lists not in sync with people disagreeing on which one is the correct one10:37
seb128it's not like those lists were really useful or used anyway10:37
Laneyjust seems to be causing friction every now and again10:38
LaneyI'll get to it at some point :-)10:38
* Laney adds a card if there isn't one already10:38
seb128the problem is that we don't know what teams are used were10:38
seb128so I guess job 1 would be to investigate all reports/services/scripts to see what is being used were10:39
seb128but that's a bit tedious and likely to be miss some10:39
Laneyok, well if you don't think I should work on it then delete the card or whatever10:44
seb128oh, no, if you feel like figuring those details out feel free10:47
seb128it would be clearner to only have one team10:48
jibelcreate a third team and subscribe it to the 2 other teams :P11:01
jibeldesktop-bugs-and-packages11:01
jibelbut then there will be discussion whether it should be bugs-and-packages or packages-and-bugs ...11:02
LaneyI wrote a script that mails you a turd if you even think about the wrong one11:02
GunnarHjHi Laney, I've proposed a new upload of libpinyin:11:14

GunnarHjDo you think that will eliminate the autopkgtest confusion?11:14
GunnarHjhttp://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/bionic/update_excuses.html#libpinyin11:14
Laneyhey GunnarHj11:15
Laneydepends on if your new version breaks libzhuyin or not :-)11:16
Laneyyou can probably install your new package in a container and run the libzhuyin tests yourself to see11:17
GunnarHjLaney: With the new version all binaries built by libpinyin and libzhuyin can co-exist. (I don't know how to perform the tests.)11:18
LaneyGunnarHj: argh sorry I forgot to reply to you - http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/auto-pkg-test.html#executing-the-test12:28
Laneythe first example except you can give it your .deb files after the name of the source package to test12:28

lyr[m]Hello14:05
lyr[m]Anyone can tell me the exact genisoimage command to make a custom ubuntu iso ?14:06
lyr[m](I already have my custom ks.cfg, extracted official iso content & so on)14:06
amanosince we are going to rename the session names again: would "Ubuntu (compatiblity mode)" vs. Ubuntu (extended security mode)" something to consider instead of "Ubuntu on Xorg" vs "Ubuntu on Wayland". More descriptive for less tech savy persons?14:20
amanojust for discussion if nobody has brought that up before.14:20
mdeslaurextended security?14:21
* mdeslaur doesn't like that14:21
amanohasn't to be that term of course ;)14:21
mdeslaurhow about "Ubuntu (flickering firefox experience)" ;)14:22
amanoLOL ;)14:22
seb128amano, if you find descriptions that make sense why not14:30
seb128amano, those you suggested might be inacurrate/misleading though14:30
seb128I expect it's going to be difficult to find wording that has consensus14:31
amano(altough the coming Firefox wayland might fix some Firfox problems on xwayland)14:31
mdeslaurUbuntu vs. Ubuntu (Wayland preview)14:31
jbichaOld School!14:32
amano;) that keeps people knowing about the "Wayand" term14:32
amano...having to know...14:33
mdeslaurseems to me the only people interested in testing it would be specifically the people who want to try wayland14:34
jbichaamano: I think that's a good thing. We do want people to be able to Google for any issues they have with it14:34
amanoit would be more descriptive than just "on Wayland"14:34
amanoso people know that it is some kind of tech preview14:35
mdeslaurpersonally, I don't even think it makes sense to ship it visible by default...why would my dad want that? at least the word "preview" would indicate it's not something they should normally use14:35
mdeslaurmy 2c14:35
gQuigswill it be a tech preview or will it be a supportable path people an use?14:35
gQuigscan use14:35

jbichagQuigs: can't it be both? :)14:37
amanoEither way. Maybe worth discussing. It was just an idea when reading WIll's announcement14:38
gQuigsjbicha: to some extent sure, just wondering if we should recommend it to those who want slightly more confined apps or not14:41
oSoMoNkenvandine, I hate this, it was building fine against proposed yesterday :/14:42
oSoMoNkenvandine, and it's building fine on all other arches, what's up with amd64?14:43
jbichagQuigs: my opinion is that it's fine to recommend it to people who understand what isn't supported (apps like synaptic; remote desktop; most screen capture apps; NVIDIA)14:46
jbichaoSoMoN: I don't think it's building fine on other arches, it didn't the first time14:47
jbichabut LO 6 is next week any way, rigth?14:47
oSoMoNah, so it's been retried?14:47
jbichaoSoMoN: oops, I thought you were looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:5.4.3-0ubuntu214:48
oSoMoNyeah LO 6 is next week but I'll need 5.4.4 in bionic to SRU it to artful14:54
seb128oSoMoN, technically you need uploaded, whcih you did now14:55
seb128oSoMoN, it's to make sure it's not forgotten/mssing from the new serie14:56
seb128oSoMoN, now it's in the proposed pocket and just needs fixing/iterating, but by itself that should be enough for the SRU team14:56
seb128jbicha, hey, did you see that the vino/u-c-c changes are buggy?14:56
jbichaseb128: yes, I'm trying to ping the Unity guys (Khurshid I guess) about that14:57
seb128technically you are the one who approved the merge and did the sync :p14:57
seb128but yeah, if they can/want fix it that works as well14:57
jbichawhen I uploaded, I tested that it built and that it ran, I didn't test if it worked :|14:58
jbichaI probably ran it with old vino installed so it wouldn't have crashed then14:58
seb128indeed14:59
ricotzoSoMoN, debhelper dh_scour problem?15:04
ricotzhey desktopers15:04
jbichachrisccoulson: could you push Firefox 58 to bionic too?15:06
oSoMoNseb128, ah, good to know that technically that's enough15:06
oSoMoNhey ricotz15:06
oSoMoNthat doesn't seem related to dh_scour15:07
oSoMoNconfigure: WARNING: glm/glm.hpp: present but cannot be compiled15:07
ricotzok, haven't looked at it, firefox failed on bionic-proposed with missing dh_scour error.15:08
oSoMoNkenvandine, would you mind retrying https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:5.4.4-0ubuntu2/+build/14277897 , just to make sure it's not transient?15:09
oSoMoNor was it retried already?15:11
seb128I don't think it was, I just did15:15
oSoMoNthanks seb12815:19
* oSoMoN crosses fingers15:19
seb128yw15:19
ricotzchrisccoulson, please see PM15:22
seb128ricotz, it's a weird habit to ping people on public channels to tell them to see private message, that's a content which is of no use to the channel and probably don't make people you ping notice more the direct msg15:24
seb128ricotz, also I said that in the past but you can also ask your questions directly here, maybe it's useful to others as well15:25
ricotzseb128, I disagree, imo a private message is more discoverable that way (in my client)15:26
ricotzseb128, I would ask a question here if it weren't so specific15:27
seb128hum, k, I overlooked that people might use a boggus IRC lient15:27
ricotzseb128, do you have an opinion on changes in the distribution.ini of firefox?15:27
seb128ricotz, I don't personnally :)15:27
seb128oSoMoN, retry failed the same way15:28
oSoMoNbleh15:28
ricotzok, so this isn't really a question for the channel imo ;)15:28

oSoMoNdoko, libreoffice 5.4.4 (with the libpoppler version patch) built fine yesterday against bionic-proposed, and now FTBFS again15:31
oSoMoNcould it be caused by the gcc 7 update?15:32

jbichamdeslaur: btw, I think we can remove gksu from bionic once someone fixes mythtv LP: #174061815:37
ubot5Launchpad bug 1740618 in umit (Ubuntu) "Remove unmaintained gksu reverse dependencies" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174061815:37
mdeslaurwhy, don't people use that manually?15:38
jbichawe'll get some hate mail for it15:39
jbichait's unmaintained and deprecated and will be removed from Debian completely really soon15:39
mdeslaurwe'd remove most of universe if that's the criteria for removing stuff ;)15:42
jbicha(I do think we should consider removing all the old stuff that isn't in Debian…)15:43
jbichagksu was useless with Ubuntu's Wayland session and is not the recommended way of doing things even for users15:43
jbichathe gvfs admin:/// support works well (although it's not easily discoverable, although gksu isn't discoverable either)15:44
mdeslaurbut it's still useful for people running xorg...and it's in universe...besides upsetting people who use it, I don't see why it would get removed15:44
jbichawhy does anyone need to use gksu?15:44
mdeslaurwhy does anyone need to use epiphany?15:46
* mdeslaur shrugs15:47
gQuigsbut seriously, if I really want to run nautilus with root I can do sudo nautilus..  (but don't do that!)15:48
gQuigswhat does gksu give people that they would want to complain about?15:48
gQuigserr. complain if it's removed that sudo wouldn't?15:48
mdeslaurI know of people who use it to ask for a password in a graphical way to be able to run a script with elevated privileges15:50
mdeslaurI really don't care, I just don't see the point of removing stuff from universe15:50
gQuigsI wonder how hard it is do what systemctl does.. guessing that's policykit...15:55
gQuigscleaner archive with less old outdated software15:55
gQuigsbut I thought if a package has no Ubuntu changes it was autoremoved from the Ubuntu archive.. guess I'm mistaken15:56
jbichagQuigs: gksu does have an ubuntu1 changelog. And that semi-autoremoval only happens for removals from unstable with no rdepends so it doesn't help here16:04
gQuigsjbicha: that makes sense, but what about a package like aptoncd with no rdpends at all?  seems a lot of these leaf packages should have already disappeared16:11
jbichaI think the "semi" is important here ;)16:13
