bjfi'm running bionic. after latest update my syslog is full of stacktraces of org.gnome.Shell.desktop: https://pastebin.canonical.com/209228/02:09
duflubjf, I see the same stacktraces while working on Gnome 3.28 (not in Ubuntu yet). However the shell works... Still I think you should log a bug02:28
bjfbug filed ... lp: #174756602:40
ubot5Launchpad bug 1747566 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "org.gnome.Shell.desktop stacktraces; tweener.js" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174756602:40
duflubjf, cool, thanks02:49
duflubjf, I had thought that was a regression in mutter 3.27... so seeing it in bionic is actually encouraging to me02:51
jbichathe extra logging was an intentional change in gjs to help diagnose problems in gnome-shell (or extensions)03:33
duflujbicha, do you have any ideas about when either 3.26.3 or 3.27 will arrive in bionic?05:25

dufluHi willcooke, seb12808:42
seb128hey willcooke duflu08:42
didrockshey willcooke, seb12808:43
seb128re didrocks :)08:43
seb128duflu, do you know how pulseaudio migrated? did somebody decided to ignore the gsequencer autopkg issue?08:44
dufluseb128, by the willpower of vorlon...08:44
seb128lol08:44
dufluWe wanted it so, and it happened08:44
duflu-We +He08:45
seb128I was pondering asking somebody to skip the autopkg results but was unsure that was right08:47
seb128good, that way I don't have to decide :)08:47
* didrocks going to do some X session transition tests, rebooting multiple times, bbl08:51
didrocksok, need to patch GDM thus…09:00
willcookeOh yeah, forgot about this...  under xorg and specically the Unity session, tap to click on a touchpad is reported to not work (need to test here) is that likely to be because of libinput?09:08
dufluwillcooke, that's a setting you can toggle in Settings. Has (whoever) looked at or tried changing the setting?09:09
dufluAlthough I haven't checked Unity for a while09:09
willcookeduflu, will ask thanks.  I'll test on a VM first09:10
willcookealthough, that might not be a real test09:10
dufluwillcooke, problem is you won't be given the option unless it detects the touchpad hardware09:10
willcookeah, kk09:11
dufluAnd sometimes it even misdetects the hardware09:11
dufluSo not everyone gets the full list of touchpad settings09:11
willcookeyeah, doesnt work in a vm09:12
willcookeI'll ask them to test and see what happens09:12
willcookethanks duflu09:12
dufluYeah, same here, developing on a desktop09:12
dufluwillcooke, maybe we should ask upstream to always show the widgets, and just disable them if they think a touchpad is absent. That would at least give people a better hint09:13
dufluI keep finding myself asking people to toggle settings that their systems don't present in the GUI...09:14
dufluSo it would be more helpful for those cases to show greyed-out widgets instead of none at all09:15
dufluProbably the same amount of code to disable vs hide09:15
willcookehumm, tricky one09:15
dufluIn a perfect world, you don't need such a change. But in the real world there are touchpads that Linux thinks are mice09:16
seb128willcooke, what distro serie?09:32
willcookeseb128, I think B09:32
seb128willcooke, I don't remember what's the default for that option, but we still have the issue than if libinput is installed then unity-control-center has no ability to tweaks the touchapd options since the code was never ported away from synaptic to libinput09:34
seb128that if*09:34
seb128willcooke, https://trello.com/c/X7gznOHG/132-libinput-support-for-unity-709:35
willcookeah yeah, that's what I was thinking of.  Do you think they will be able to install synaptic and remove libinput?09:35
seb128if they don't need/want GNOME installed yes09:35
willcookeseb128, thanks09:35
seb128yw09:35
didrocksok, after session transition: the correct session is selected. However, GDM dropdown doesn't match the session it's starting (like, I have GNOME session installed, it's telling it's the one selected while starting the ubuntu one)09:43
didrocksthat, as long as you don't select another session09:43
didrockseven from wayland -> xorg, while the session name is still "ubuntu"09:43
didrocksanyway, at least, most of people won't notice it, so let's upload the transition still, and we'll get to that bug later on…09:43
seb128didrocks, sounds like bug #173838909:44
ubot5bug 1738389 in gdm3 (Ubuntu) "Adding a second user and logging in to the Ubuntu session gives the GNOME session" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/173838909:44
seb128or at least similar09:44
didrocksseb128: well, it doesn't select that session, it's just on the GDM dropdown, making you think it would select the first session in ascii order, which it doesn't.09:46
didrocksthere is clearly something wrong overall in GDM session management09:46
didrocksoh, I hacked in /tmp for the gdm patch…09:48
didrocks:(09:48
seb128:(09:51
didrocksthe patch is easy enough, more bothered by the description :p09:52
seb128but yeah, I still wish we had stayed on lightdm, it was so much better :/09:52
seb128shame that the lock screen thing made that difficult09:52
didrocksok, with that known "display" bug, Xorg is now the default and transition from wayland -> xorg and xorg -> xorg works10:01
seb128nice10:04
seb128didrocks, https://trello.com/c/MTfnMTzr/205-minimal-patches-as-fallback-for-1604-on-the-shell10:07
seb128didrocks, I don't really understand the title/description, you meant 18 rather than 16?10:07
didrocksoupsss, 18 ofc :)10:10
didrocksbasically, it's about the 3 set of minimal (some hackish) patches as the upstream reviews don't go really far10:11
seb128k, makes sense10:13
seb128thx10:13
didrocksyw :p10:13
dufluwillcooke, I was reminded recently that maybe I haven't tested VAAPI's smoothness on enough machines to really declare the main stutters fixed. Did you still experience any?10:28
dufluI mean my desktop is now fine, but another machine seems less so10:29
willcookeduflu, huh, well, my server is down with all my content on, so I've not really been testing.  I'll go download some.  BBB yet again I expect.  And Sintel10:30
willcookeduflu, would you do a social post on the hub or whatever and we can share it around and have p_opey retweet it from the @ubuntu account etc10:30
* duflu recalls thinking the GL logic in gstreamer-vaapi was dubious, but it seemed to work at the time10:30
dufluI think mpv was fine on the problematic machine still10:31
dufluwillcooke, you mean request for testing?10:32
willcookeduflu, yeah10:32
dufluwillcooke, yeah. I want to be careful to not get into a situation though where we're confusing mutter stutter for totem stutter10:32
dufluSo need to think about how to word it10:33
willcookeahh riht10:33

willcookeseb128, re: xrdp - thanks for the info.  So you wouldnt have any objections to me filing an MIR for xRDP?  I can get that kicked off if so.11:38
seb128willcooke, no objection no11:40
seb128that's going to require a security team review probably so you can also maybe talk to them11:40
willcookeack11:42

seb128thx11:43

andyrockfor the gnome-disk-utilities debdiff11:44
andyrockthe original patch (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=367805&action=diff) has some #ifdef to check if udisks is new enough11:45
seb128hey andyrock11:46
andyrockshould I remove them right? or should I check that the required functions are in the .h files?11:46
seb128right, you need to remove those11:46
andyrockkk11:46
seb128just adapt the control file to depends on the udisks revision that includes the patch backport11:46
seb128brb, moving back from that lunch place11:49
andyrockkk11:50
Trevinhodesktoppers: probably this is something that should be talked more in the (a) meeting, and not sure if feasible for changing the workflow, but what would you think about managing our gnome-shell/mutter and other GNOME packages where we might do some patching work (not customization, just backports and fixes as we did so far) with forks in https://gitlab.gnome.org/Ubuntu/ where we've basically have the debian folder in there?12:11
TrevinhoI guess it would improve the workflow (at least for me). And of course we could be able to have a git mirror in LP too.12:11
TrevinhoOr something else that might allow us non proper .deb devs to have a better way to get our changes in, withouth having to get bothered with debdiffs12:12
seb128Trevinho, hey, you should read https://community.ubuntu.com/t/move-ubuntu-desktop-packaging-to-salsa/349612:13
seb128Trevinho, that's basically what you want I think, full git derivated from upstream where you can probably git merge back changes to the ubuntu branch etc12:16
Trevinhoseb128: looks interesting12:17
Trevinhoseb128: but... is that going to debian first?12:17
seb128andyrock, sorry, had to drop off to change location, I'm back online if you have other questions12:17
Trevinhocan't we just inherit that for ubuntu too?12:17
seb128andyrock, and I can look at your changes/sponsor them later :)12:18
andyrockI've already uploaded the debdiff for udisks212:18
* Trevinho reads the full thing first :-D12:18
seb128Trevinho, right, you should :p12:18
andyrockI'm testing the one for gnome-disk12:18
seb128Trevinho, I expect we are going to discuss that in Budapest (though didrocks might be missing so maybe not, or not as much at least)12:18
seb128andyrock, k12:18
andyrockseb128: please note that this will work with newly mounted snaps12:19
andyrocksnap team told me they were going to deal with the migration12:19
andyrocknot sure they did that12:19
seb128andyrock, which means work on all snaps on next boot right?12:19
Trevinhoseb128: ok, for sure I'd love to have better handling of all this, since now for me all the times I want to propose something to be in ubunutu as because maybe it's still pending upstream or similar, I stop since it's a bit annoying :-P12:20
andyrocknope installed snaps but they can fix it12:20
andyrockif they didn't I'll ping them12:20
TrevinhoAnd I prefer to wait for someone to do the syncs on [point] releases12:20
seb128andyrock, ok, did you file a forum topic or bug about that?12:20
andyrockwhen I proposed the patch for snapd they told me they were going to deal with the migration12:20
seb128k, maybe check and open something if they didn't12:20
andyrockI'll do it12:20
seb128easy to forget when you have no item for tracking the work12:21
seb128thx12:21
seb128andyrock, where did you add the udisks update?12:22
andyrockhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/163798412:22
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1637984 in gnome-disk-utility (Ubuntu) "Disks shows all mounted snaps" [High,In progress]12:22
seb128andyrock, thanks, it doens't have an udisks2 line that's why I didn't find it :)12:34
andyrockah12:34
andyrockI'm uploading the gnome-disk one too12:34
andyrocktested on a vm and it works fine12:35
seb128andyrock, why do you need libmount 2.30?12:36
andyrockbecause userspace mount options are exported only with libmount >= 2.3012:36
andyrockthat's why we can't backport this12:37
seb128andyrock, k, so that's not a new api/something that is reflecting in https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/pkg-util-linux.git/tree/debian/libmount1.symbols with a 2.30 version12:37
andyrockbuuuuut we can backport an alternative fix (ok for a deb patch, not ok for upstream)12:38
seb128andyrock, I was asking to know if you need the depends, if that was a new symbols the dh tools would pick the version for you so that line wouldn't be needed12:38
andyrockno symbols12:38
andyrockit's using some libmount stuff12:38
seb128k12:38
seb128andyrock, loosk good but please update the changelog to have that info12:38
seb128* debian/control:12:39
andyrockkk12:39
seb128  - updated libmount requirement to 2.30, that's needed because <reason>12:39
seb128andyrock, ^12:39
seb128andyrock, thx12:39
andyrockhttps://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/WAhhFWq1/12:42
andyrockseb128: ^^^ fine for you?12:42
seb128andyrock, looks good yes, thanks :)12:43
andyrockseb128: can you check https://launchpadlibrarian.net/355973424/gnome-disk-utility.debdiff12:46
andyrockalso if you can add the target for bionic/artful/xenial12:48
seb128right12:48
andyrockartful has libmount1 >= 2.3012:48
seb128andyrock, same question that earlier for this other one, why do you need the new libudisk?12:48
andyrockso we can backport the all thing12:48
seb128right12:49
andyrockthe new disk because there are new symbols12:49
andyrockudisks_block_get_userspace_mount_options12:49
andyrockfor xenial just target gnome-disk-utility12:50
seb128hum12:50
seb128andyrock, https://launchpadlibrarian.net/355965413/udisks2.debdiff doesn't mention that symbol?12:50
andyrockit's generated12:50
seb128oh12:50
andyrock<property name="UserspaceMountOptions" type="as" access="read"/>12:51
seb128andyrock, it should probably be added to udisks debian/libudisks2-0.symbols then?12:51
andyrockmaybe12:51
seb128andyrock, it's weird that dh_shlibs doesn't complain about that when you build your new udisks212:51
oSoMoNthanks seb128 for the LO upload!12:51
seb128oSoMoN, yw!12:51
* andyrock is new to debian packaging12:51
seb128andyrock, that file lists the symbols and the version where they have been added, which is used then to compute the right version to depends on for things using your lib12:52
seb128andyrock, like that new gdu using a symbol tagged as being from 2.6.5-2ubuntu3 is going to create a depends of that version of the lib12:52
seb128andyrock, oh, and don't forget to add an entry to the changelog "* debian/libudisks2-0.symbols: list new udisks_block_get_userspace_mount_options symbol"12:54
seb128:)12:54
andyrockso there is no need for "libudisks2-dev (>= 2.6.5-2ubuntu3)"12:54
andyrockkk12:54
seb128andyrock, you still need the versionned build-depends, it's the runtime depends which is computed12:55
andyrockah ok12:55

andyrockseb128: dpkg-gensymbols gives me something like that "+ udisks_block_dup_userspace_mount_options@Base 2.6.5-2ubuntu3"13:21
andyrockis that correct13:21
seb128andyrock, that sounds right to me, what do you think?13:21
andyrockkk for me too so :D13:21
jbichaandyrock: trivial, but could you add a ~ to the end of that symbol version number, 2.6.5-2ubuntu3~13:25
jbichauseful in the rare chance that someone would try to backport it in a PPA13:25
andyrockkk13:25

kenvandineoSoMoN, hey!14:08
kenvandineoSoMoN, i no longer have a desktop file for chromium, using the edge channel14:08

oSoMoNkenvandine, that's unexpected, let me check14:10

kenvandinemaybe it's in the process of updating?14:10
oSoMoNkenvandine, what does "snap changes chromium" say?14:11
kenvandine1182  Doing   2018-02-06T14:03:31Z  -      Auto-refresh 5 snaps14:12
kenvandineso i guess it's refreshing14:12
kenvandineannoying i can't start my browser though :)14:12
oSoMoNkenvandine, use the ff snap :)14:12
kenvandine:)14:13
* kenvandine wonders how long this could possible take14:16
oSoMoNkenvandine, also, I built a LO 6.0 snap on bionic, and it's doesn't even start on bionic, so it's even worse than you told me14:19
oSoMoNI pinged Sergio about it yesterday, but no answer14:19
kenvandineoSoMoN, did you use snapcraft from the edge channel?14:20
kenvandineoh, LO is strict right?14:20
kenvandineoSoMoN, the bug i was talking about only effected classic snaps14:23
kenvandineoSoMoN, but... you don't want to build a strict snap on bionic unless you specify base: base-1814:23
oSoMoNaha14:24
seb128GunnarHj, I read through the code of the tools and sounded like it should work so I went for it :)14:24
oSoMoNkenvandine, where do I specify that?14:24
seb128you should build your snap on 17.10 and see if it works14:24
kenvandineoSoMoN, in the yaml14:24
kenvandinetop level14:24
kenvandinehey seb128!14:24
oSoMoNthanks, I didn't know of that14:25
seb128hey kenvandine, how are you? had a good trip back?14:25
GunnarHjseb128: Ok. Thanks for sponsoring!14:25
seb128oSoMoN, kenvandine, base-18 isn't going to be friendly to other series yet though?14:25
seb128GunnarHj, yw, thanks for doing the work!14:25
kenvandineseb128, not really14:25
kenvandineit's only in edge14:25
kenvandineoSoMoN, ^^14:25
kenvandineso you'll need to install base-18 from edge14:25
kenvandinealso note that base-18 is going to be renamed core1814:26
kenvandineseb128, it should work fine on 16.04 though14:26
kenvandineit'll just have trouble auto downloading base-18 because it's not in stable yet14:26
kenvandineoSoMoN, so don't publish a snap built for that yet14:26
kenvandineoSoMoN, also you can't build for that on LP yet14:26
kenvandineoSoMoN, and cleanbuild won't work for that yet :)14:27
oSoMoNwow, that's a lot of don’ts and can'ts14:28

didrocksargh, l_aney didn't push his changes to g-c-c vcs :/15:48
* didrocks is under the impression to spend his time updating vcs due to them never been uptodate15:49
seb128we need a dput with pre-upload hook to check that the change is commited in the vcs!15:49
didrocksyeah!15:50

GunnarHjjbicha: Another translation issue: Looking at bug #1734545. In this case the template seems to be ok, but the .po files in the package are not imported by LP, and I can't tell why. There is a more recent version upstream. Any chance you could update in Debian so it get synced and built in Ubuntu again? Then we could watch the import queue and try to figure out what's (not) happening.18:45

jbichaGunnarHj: I don't see anything in gnome-sudoku's git log that looks like it would fix that issue19:25
GunnarHjjbicha: Neither do I. My thought is to study the import queue, build log etc. out from a fresh upload.19:27
GunnarHjjbicha: The zenity case was more obvious. :) Btw, you started that upload before my comment in the bug report, right?19:27
jbichaGunnarHj: no, I read my bug mail some times :)19:31
jbichaI just hope people don't start thinking I'm the gedit or zenity maintainer!19:34
GunnarHjjbicha: Wow, you must have acted immediately then.19:35
GunnarHjjbicha: Actually, a simple rebuild of gnome-sudoku would probably serve the same purpose.19:35
jbichaGunnarHj: what about the rebuild (1:3.26.0-3) I did a couple days ago?19:37
GunnarHjWhat?19:37
jbichahttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-sudoku/1:3.26.0-3 is very new19:37
GunnarHjjbicha: Sorry, I missed that for some reason. Sure, that's probably fresh enough. And nothing in the import queue. :(19:38
GunnarHjjbicha: I'm going to need help to dig into this. Any idea where to start? Seb?19:39
jbichaat today's Desktop meeting, we decided to discuss GNOME 3.28 at next week's meeting19:40
GunnarHjjbicha: For 18.04?19:40
jbichayes19:40
jbichabtw, I did that gnome-sudoku upload just to clear the pending commits before uploading 3.27.90 to Debian experimental19:41
GunnarHjjbicha: Ok. But it was a normal upload, right, and the stripped .po files ought to have made it into LP?19:42
jbichaoh, I have an idea19:43
GunnarHjYeahhh!19:43
jbichaGunnarHj: it's a duplicate of LP: #168899419:44
ubot5Launchpad bug 1688994 in pkgbinarymangler (Ubuntu) "dh-translations: cannot build POT without intltool" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/168899419:44
jbichaI remembered that gnome-sudoku had a problem19:44
jbichaGunnarHj: this is the hack we're using for meson packages (but gnome-sudoku wasn't converted to meson yet)19:46
jbichahttps://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-calendar/blob/debian/master/debian/rules#L1119:46
GunnarHjjbicha: That's interesting. I just made a fix in remmina, and there we have an Ubuntu patch which uses intltool to explicitly build the POT.19:47
jbichaSeb's comment implies that we could distro-patch a workaround too19:47
jbichaI don't know how many packages are affected since I use English :(19:48
GunnarHjjbicha: There seem to be a few of them... The secret is that single line under "override_dh_translations", right?19:48
jbichano, I mean for packages not using meson, it sounds like we could just patch configure.ac as a workaround https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/1688994/comments/219:49
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1688994 in pkgbinarymangler (Ubuntu) "dh-translations: cannot build POT without intltool" [High,Confirmed]19:50
GunnarHjjbicha: Ah, so he has already solved the gnome-sudoku problem (but not implemented it). Not sure what he means by regex... Can we patch configure.ac instead?19:52
jbichawhat he's suggesting is to fix pkgbinarymanager instead of working around it in package like gnome-sudoku :)19:53
GunnarHjjbicha: Ah, ok. But that hasn't been done yet, so what's the proper thing to do now?19:54
jbichathe proper thing to do is to fix pkgbinarymangler; otherwise we can patch affected packages19:55
jbichayou can confirm whether a package is affected by looking for that warning in the build logs19:56
GunnarHjjbicha: Do you know which programming language pkgbinarymangler is written in?19:56
GunnarHj(I can look for myself otherwise)19:57
jbichaperl & bash and it looks like the tests use python319:57
GunnarHjjbicha: Ok, python sounds human enough. Then I'll take a look.19:58
