lubot1<Sergio_Security> Any wireless connection manager which works fine and does not require a loop of sudo service network-manager restart?04:26
lubot1<brli7848> @Sergio_Security, NM is utilized with polkit, I don't think you need to face systemd(systemctl) that often...04:32
lubot1<alamo18> @brli7848, Why would you not want to face systemctl08:36
lubot1<brli7848> @alamo18, Check above... If needed, I will. However, get online with wifi using nm applet doesn't require this08:38

fbaumanisgood morning!09:25
fbaumanisjust a general question: would you prefer a dedicated testing PC for testing or a virtual machine?09:31
lynorianfbaumanis, both09:33
lynorianrun virtual machines from the machine dedicated to testing09:34
fbaumanislynorian: okay, makes sense :)09:34
fbaumanisthank you09:34
lynorianthat way you make sure vms work on the release as well09:45
fbaumanisthe latest bionic daily still doesnt have the "Guided - resize" option for Partitioning. Does anybody have some info about that?14:00
lubot<tsimonq2> @fbaumanis, Lubuntu or Lubuntu Next?14:03
fbaumanis@lubot, Lubuntu14:04
fbaumanis@lubot, to be correct, this testcase: http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/384/builds/166848/testcases/143814:05
lubot<tsimonq2> I'm just a Telegram bridge, I'm tsimonq2 on IRC as well ;)14:06
fbaumanis@tsimonq2 ah i see ;)14:07
lubot<tsimonq2> wxl: Can you please look into this?14:07
fbaumanisi discovered a bug during the installation of kubuntu bionic.. so where do i have to run ubuntu-bug ubiquity? on my local machine? 15:37
lubot<tsimonq2> @fbaumanis, Yes15:41
fbaumanistsimonq2, thanks!15:41
fbaumanisbut it wants to send the information about my local machine.. the bug happened in the VM..15:50

wxltsimonq2: fbaumanis: does the drive already have something on it? if not, you won't see resize.18:13
lubotfbnbmns was added by: fbnbmns19:00
lubot<tsimonq2> @fbnbmns, Welcome!19:01
lubot<fbnbmns> @tsimonq2, Thanks! I'm fbaumanis from IRC ;)19:02
lubot<tsimonq2> @fbnbmns, :D19:03
lubot<fbnbmns> @wxl, Then the testcase description should include a warning, that something should be on the drive already. I can do that.19:05
wxlyeah i mean it does stand to reason :)19:05
wxlhow do you resize something that doesn't already have a size? :)19:06
lubot<tsimonq2> Speaking of installers...19:07
lubot<tsimonq2> wxl, how was that swap bug coming along?19:07
fbaumaniswxl, if there is an ubuntu installation already on it, it has a size, or? :D19:07
wxlit needs to have some sort of partitions19:07
wxl@tsimonq2: you mean the one we're waiting on cyphermox on?19:08
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, Yeah, the one we're waiting for cyphermox on19:08
wxl@tsimonq2: who knows. ask him.19:08
fbaumanis@wxl, then i will add a reminder to make sure that the drive already should have partitions.19:09
wxlthe key here being *RE*size19:10
lubot<tsimonq2> cyphermox: How was that coming along?19:10
wxl:)19:10
fbaumaniswxl yeah, i must have something with a size to REsize. :D tried it now with the setup on top of an already existing bionic beaver and it said something with "shrink size" and not "resize".. at least in German.19:34
wxlfbaumanis: that might be a string translation issue19:35
fbaumaniswxl, not when i run the installation in German ;)19:36
FurretUberHi, Lubuntu's default terminal don't show characters with accents properly. For example, í becomes Ã-19:37
FurretUbertxiterm, from xiterm+thai, is set as the default x-terminal-emulator. Shouldn't the default terminal choice depends of the user locale on this case?19:37
fbaumanisFurretUber, afaik it should.19:38
wxlFurretUber: what you're asking is sort of asking for a lot. it would be more reasonable to file a bug in lxterminal and get that fixed, if that's indeed the problem, but i've used latin-based accents with no problem.19:39
wxlit may be that the default font doesn't support it, too19:39
FurretUberlxterminal is fine, the problem is that it defaults to txiterm19:39
wxli have no idea why that would happen19:40
fbaumanisFurretUber, do you have nectec18 installed?19:41
wxlunfortunately i really know nothing about localization/internationalization so i'm not really going to be too helpful, but if lubuntu sets the default terminal based on the locale, then that is probably a system wide thing, i.e. it happens on ubuntu, xubuntu, kubuntu, etc.19:42
FurretUberI can't find this package19:42
FurretUberIf Lubuntu set lxterminal as default, this wouldn't happen19:43
FurretUberI don't know why it set txiterm as default19:43
fbaumanisoh okay, i just saw that you need nectec18 to render the font properly in the terminal..19:43
wxli'm personally shocked that lxterminal isn't the default19:44
wxli don't understand the mechanism that would cause that19:44
fbaumaniswe neither.19:44
wxl@VikingRedwolf do you have any idea about how setting a locale in some way would cause the default terminal emulator to become something other than lxterminal? i've never heard of this before.19:44
wxlFurretUber: is this a fresh install? which version?19:45
FurretUberFresh install of 18.0419:45
FurretUberLubuntu (not Next)19:45
FurretUberThis appears to be a problem of the x-terminal-emulator. Maybe it came wrong on the ISO already19:45
wxlwith the alternate or desktop version?19:46
FurretUberDesktop19:46
wxlif you boot into the live system with the locale set the same way, do you have the same problem?19:46
FurretUberGive me a moment, I'll test19:46
* fbaumanis leaves.19:49
FurretUberOn the live image (which I can't choose the language), the default terminal opened with Ctrl+Alt+T is xiterm+thai19:50
wxldid you set the locale at all in boot?19:50
FurretUberThere was no option to do so19:51
FurretUberIt booted directly into the desktop19:51
wxlso as far as you can tell everything is in english?19:51
FurretUberEverything is in english19:51
wxlyeah that makes no sense19:51
wxlalso you should be able to set your language at boot (GRUB2)19:52
wxlare you sure you actually have a lubuntu image? XD19:52
FurretUberYes, it is Lubuntu19:52
wxldo me a favor for my own sanity and give me a pastebin of `strings /path/to/iso | head -n 50`19:53
FurretUberhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/PrDXFm5wJQ/19:54
wxlthat looks like an older image19:55
FurretUber3 days ago, at maximum19:57
wxlthe 26th to be clear19:57
wxli would not expect a development release to work perfectly until it's released19:57
wxlmeanwhile, you should always be using the latest release19:57
FurretUberIt works pretty good. I came here to talk about this problem, as I was not sure you were aware of the default terminal choice not being lxterminal19:58
wxli don't experience the same problem, so as far as i can tell, it's not one19:58
FurretUberI'm downloading the ISO now, I will see if the same happens with that one20:01
wxlFurretUber: fwiw, with a new install i have lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Mar  1 12:08 /etc/alternatives/x-terminal-emulator -> /usr/bin/lxterminal20:17
wxlFurretUber: also xiterm+thai is not installed20:21
FurretUberIs this one the Lubuntu's ISO: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/bionic-desktop-amd64.iso20:31
FurretUberIt has xiterm+thai installed and txiterm set as default. https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/SZWFtYCQyK/20:32
wxli can't replicate that20:33
wxltry with one of the other flavours like xubuntu20:33
wxlthere must be something unique to your system, machine, something, that's causing this20:34
wxllxterminal is in the manifest. xiterm is not http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20180301/bionic-desktop-amd64.manifest20:35
FurretUberxiterm+thai1.10-220:37
FurretUberLine 132020:37
wxlhave you tried installing any other version of lubuntu before?20:38
FurretUberDo you mean like 16.04? Yes. The first time I've installed was 12.04.20:38
wxland no problems there, right?20:38
FurretUberRight20:38
wxl@tsimonq2: so it seems like since artful, xiterm+thai has creeped into our manifest. you know why?20:39
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, Wat?20:40
lubot<tsimonq2> No clue20:40
wxlwe need to figure this out. for some reason in some instances, it's the default terminal20:41
wxleven without changing locales20:41
FurretUberThe system is in UEFI mode and was installed in Brazilian Portuguese20:41
wxlwhich system?20:42
wxlit's not in the manifest of lubuntu-next, kubuntu, xubuntu20:43
FurretUberThe specifications of the computer? AsRock H55M-LE, Intel Core i3-540, AMD Radeon HD 5450, 6 GB RAM20:43
wxlyou said the "system" "was installed"20:44
FurretUberThe system: Lubuntu 18.04. The boot was in UEFI mode, the idiom I choose to install was Brazilian Portuguese20:44
wxlyeah well that's irrelevant. if you boot to the live cd and it's in english, the language shouldn't be a thing20:45
wxlmost strangely `apt-rdepends -r xiterm+thai` returns nothing, @tsimonq2. i'm not sure how it got on our manifest20:45
lubot<VikingRedwolf> @wxl, No. It shouldn't affect at all.20:46
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, Hum. Idk.20:46
wxli also have no idea how i can't replicate this being a problem20:47
wxladmittedly i had an alternate install but that shouldn't matter20:47
wxlzsyncing now20:48
wxlok @tsimonq2 it's something specific to desktop. alternate does not have the same problem.21:12
wxl@tsimonq2: do you have any ideas about this at all? it's totally bizarre.21:13
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, My last usual check are the ISO build logs21:16
lubot<tsimonq2> They're verbose.21:16
wxldoes anyone have any desktop (preferably amd64) images from before 26 feb?21:17
wxli wonder if this doesn't have something to do with language-pack-th21:18
wxli could imagine a situation where if somehow the emualtor got added to the language pack and the language pack is installed after lxterminal, that it would become x-terminal-emulator21:18
wxlthe control file says it provides x-terminal-emulator but there's no emulator as a depend/recommend/suggest, etc21:19
wxloh interesting. language-pack-th is new apparently21:22
wxlwell, as of 201621:23
wxli'm pretty sure we get more languages with live, which is why i think that's the route to go21:24
wxlot21:27
wxlit's not even in the logs. wth21:27
wxloh nope found it21:28
wxlInstalling xiterm+thai as Depends of apport-gtk21:28
wxlapport-gtk only depends on x-terminal-emulator though ughhhh21:29
wxlyet earlier * Chose gnome-terminal out of x-terminal-emulator to satisfy apport-gtk21:32
tsimonq2Harumph.21:33
wxlthis has got to be some sort of weird seed issue21:33
wxlbut i'm not sure how o quite figure it out21:33
tsimonq2wxl: Release Team might be able to help as ultima ratio.21:34
wxlwhat i can confirm is xiterm is installed AFTER lxterminal21:37
wxli'm sure that's the problem21:37
wxli'm still not entirely sure how xiterm is getting on there, but *shrug*21:37
tsimonq2It shouldn't be, because lxterminal provides x-terminal-emulator.21:37
lynorianI slept in too late and woke up to something wierd21:46
wxl@julienlavergne if you have any thoughts as to how xiterm+thai got onto our desktop image (not alternate), i'd love to hear it. i can't find it anywhere in the germinate-output at all. 3 other flavors i've checked don't have it, but there it is in our manifest, and it's getting set as x-terminal-emulator.22:11
wxlFurretUber: if you want to file a bug on that, that would be great. file against lubuntu-meta for the time being22:12
FurretUberI can't report against lubuntu-meta, it says the package is not installed22:14
wxltry lubuntu-desktop then22:15
wxlFurretUber: did you get that bug done?22:30
FurretUberIt's nearly done22:31

wxlthx FurretUber 22:33
wxlsorry for ever doubting you :)22:34
wxl@tsimonq2: i think you have germinate locally, so here's your bug report with everything you need to fix it (feel free to assign yourself) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lubuntu-meta/+bug/175273323:02
ubot93Launchpad bug 1752733 in lubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "xiterm+thai is installed and set to x-terminal-emulator" [Undecided, Triaged]23:02
wxlFurretUber: you'll notice i kind of usurped your bug from being about accent support to being about having the wrong terminal in there. i assume lxterminal works fine for you, right? if not, we should also file a bug against that. similarly, if you want to you can file a bug against xiterm+thai but i'm not sure a package meant specifically for thai language support should be expected to handle latin 23:04
wxlscripts all that well23:04
FurretUberlxterminal works. I reported what was the problem (the default terminal not being able to use characters with accents)23:05
FurretUberI needed some time to understand that terminal was not lxterminal23:05
wxlyeah23:05
wxlfrom what i can tell the issue is that lxterminal gets installed after another package requires an x-terminal-emulator and i guess it sort of randomly picks one23:06
wxlso after we fix our seeds so that lxterminal gets installed earlier, we should have no problems-- and not have xiterm+thai installed at all, which we don't want23:06
lubot<tsimonq2> "explicity unseed xiterm+thai, which I think is more of a band-aid" that's not a bandaid23:07
lubot<tsimonq2> That's our freaking solution XD23:07
wxlthat doesn't fix the problem as to why it's there23:07
wxlit's quite possible we might have to explicitly unseed every single emulator except lxterminal if we go that route23:08
lubot<tsimonq2> @wxl, One thing I'm super curious about is why this only affects the desktop install...23:10
lubot<tsimonq2> Finding the difference there will likely point right at the problem23:11
wxlpop open germinate and see what you figure out23:11
lubot<tsimonq2> "pop open germinate" yeah it's not that simple :)23:13
lubot<tsimonq2> It'll take some time23:13
wxlthere's no other good solution23:13
lubot<tsimonq2> Ugh fine23:14
wxl@tsimonq2: you can try the explicit unseed, but i bet it will come up again23:17
wxl@tsimonq2: you could also try explicitly unseeding all of the other emulators, since it's likely that explicit unseed will just result in xiterm+thai being replaced with something else23:17
wxl@tsimonq2: but then we have to track x-terminal-emulator and which packages are included in it23:18
wxl@tsimonq2: it's possible that you could write some python to do that for you23:18
tsimonq2wxl: hmm23:39
tsimonq2wxl: idk23:39
