flocculantb1 release tomorrow (Friday) 05:31
flocculantbluesabre: early indications are an old name returning and a couple of new ones on the tracker05:39
flocculantUnit193: you any idea why lightdm-gtk=-greeter would be complaining about upstart? and if it'd slow desktop arrival at all?05:40
Unit193There was something recently in one of the packages about upgrades, likely in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/* stuff.05:42
flocculanthttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/trjGhTGmbP/05:45
bluesabreflocculant: looks like that's some fallback code to launch indicators in older releases of ubuntu. Shouldn't cause the slowdown, and as you can see by the timestamps, it keeps going10:46
bluesabreThe rest of that is GTK's ongoing debug output to developers spamming users10:48
bluesabreflocculant: don't suppose you know if the other *buntus are having the first login slowness?10:49
bluesabreit takes forever to get to ubiquity, so I'm thinking it might be not just us10:50
bluesabrealso glad that the b1 release is tomorrow... want to document what's new so blogs don't just write us off10:51
bluesabreflocculant: and yeah, also of note that 32bit gets no attention at all10:52
bluesabreI also wonder if iso.qa's display is part of the problem. "5/5 completed", "oh good, they got their testers"10:53
knomemaybe10:53
knome(hello)10:54
bluesabrehiya knome10:54
knomestomach bug almost beaten10:54
bluesabrealmost yay10:55
slickymasterWorkthat's good news knome 10:56
slickymasterWorkand morning both10:56
knomehello slickymasterWork 10:56
bluesabrehey there slickymasterWork 10:58
bluesabreknome, flocculant, thoughts on having an interesting and informative release note for bionic? Currently drafting up a general format here https://pad.ubuntu.com/xubuntu-1804-release12:10
bluesabreIt would 1) make our release more interesting for users, and 2) give our testers an idea of where to look for issues12:11
bluesabreand if so, can I include it on the b1 note if I finish writing it up tonight? :)12:12
knomebluesabre, commented on the pad12:16
knomedo we have anything else to mention about xfce getting forward? 12:17
slickymasterWorkI'd remove the 'and' in (and formerly GNOME 2)12:18
knomeslickymasterWork, jfdi :P12:19
bluesabreknome: we will, not written it yet, https://imgur.com/a/iLjym12:19
slickymasterWorknasty knome :P12:19
knomeyes...12:19

knomethat's a lot of links12:28
knomewell done12:28
bluesabresome mornings are more productive than others :)12:28
knomebluesabre, you have my permission to do things you want with the b1 release notes12:43
flocculantbluesabre: yep - release note works for me - finish writing it up, ping bashfulrobot in -release with the location of it so that IT is the B1 release note - means I don't have to try to get that done tonight17:46
flocculantack re fallback code17:46
flocculantnot sure if other *buntus have the problem - but I can certainly find out - I'll start with Ubuntu17:47
flocculantre iso.qa - yea I've wondered that in the past ... I'll drop a note to m/l's re it17:47
flocculantbluesabre: re pad - things new that are now gtk3? maybe highlight that - for the last while we've been saying Xfce have been porting things to gtk3 - so we've not got much different17:50
flocculantbluesabre: re pinging bashfulrobot, when you know what rn link will be - put it on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/Beta117:54
knomeslickymasterWork, how does your schedule look tomorrow post-dinner?18:10
slickymasterWorkwide open, so we can do some work18:16
knomegood18:17
flocculantbluesabre: sent something about tracker with a pic18:19
flocculantbluesabre: bug 1705243 is that actually expected behaviour?19:11
ubottubug 1705243 in parole "Play button inactive" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/170524319:11
flocculantbluesabre: more re rn you want to do - you can add https://wiki.xubuntu.org/releases/18.04/release-notes if you want - it'll get updated shortlyish19:59
ochosibluesabre: figured out a good way of fixing the default look of the greeter window also with adwaita: http://i.imgur.com/X3ogKVD.png20:43
flocculantbluesabre: ok - I grabbed looby lou, budgie and mate. None are slow to desktop. I can only confirm it with xubuntu21:15
flocculantunfortunately ...21:15
ochosimeh, that sucks21:20
ochosiso something in our session is dragging us down..?21:21
ochosiis that a recent issue?21:21
flocculantochosi: nope - I've been talking about it for months21:22
knomepleia2, there was an interesting (in a way) mail about xubuntu derivatives on -contacts, we need to reply to that soon21:23
knome(the reply is mostly uninteresting)21:24
flocculantevening knq21:24
flocculantfail21:24
flocculantknome :p21:25
ochosiflocculant: sry, must've slipped by me21:25
flocculantnp21:25
ochosiisn't there a systemd profiling thingy which tells you what took how long at startup?21:26
ochosi(that may include the session lag)21:26
flocculantdidn't last time I checked21:26
flocculantochosi: it doesn't however appear to be a constant issue - just first time21:26
ochosihm21:27
flocculantif I was waiting for 90s everytime I booted my machine - I'd have installed something else in November :D21:27
ochosilol21:28
flocculantI'll re-re-re-reinstall vanilla xub and check systemd-analyze again21:28
flocculant*nowish*21:29
ochosiawesome21:30
ochosithanks a bunch21:30
flocculantnp ofc :)21:31
flocculantlongest bit of doing this - is waiting for the usb to be done ;)21:31
ochosihehe21:31
ochosiany more bugs on our side you know of that need ironing out?21:31
flocculantnot that jump out at me21:32
flocculantI find it harder and harder to know - more stuff from ppa's and git make it awkward to know what others see :)21:33
ochosiwelcome to my world ;)21:33
flocculantha ha 21:33
* ochosi whispers: you're drifting towards arch...21:33
flocculantnah - if I get that far I'll just move back to a vanilla install and start drifting again :D21:34
flocculantbbs - booting to live again21:35
ochosiflocculant: i presume this one can be closed as fixed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-notifyd/+bug/165293321:45
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1652933 in xfce4-notifyd (Ubuntu) "Application Tab list too small when run from Settings dialogue" [Undecided,Confirmed]21:45
ochosi(still linked to our bugs blueprint)21:45
ochosi(at least this works fine for me)21:46
ochosiknome: isn't this done and inprogress already? https://dev.xubuntu.org/#tab-details/spec=xubuntu-b-community21:48
ochosior in fact done and done21:48
flocculantochosi: yea you can close that21:56
flocculantclearing the bug bp is on my radar when I do the release note21:56
ochosialrighty21:56
ochosijust decided to go through the bps now a bit21:56
flocculantochosi: systemd-blame things - and stopwatch timings for a vanilla install and my usual install https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YPNCQ2Nd2B/21:58
flocculantand ack that :)21:58
flocculantlost the will to live timing the live with a stopwatch last time - wasn't in the frame of mind to try again :p21:59
flocculantUnit193: from post #7 down from kerry_s > re core https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2386532&p=13746559&viewfull=1#post1374655922:02
ochosithe times don't really add up for me22:02
flocculantsystemd ones? 22:02
ochosiwith vanilla you write 30 secs, but systemd tells us about roughly 922:02
flocculantyup22:03
ochosiok, so then the conclusion is that systemd analyze doesn't help in this case22:03
flocculantyea22:03
flocculantjust brb - check the second login times to the vanilla install22:04
flocculantochosi: ok so 2nd login to that install and I see times more or less the same as this install - eg what I'd expect22:06
Unit193Oh strange, and I see slick mentioned the try vs install, that's usually where the problem stands.22:06
flocculantso something goes on for the 1st ever login - that takes an age22:06
flocculantUnit193:ack22:07
flocculantochosi: if I was me me - not me Xubuntu QA expecting this - I'd boot the usb find it taking ages, assume somethign wrong with the stick, do it all again - see the same thing - perhaps wait the 2nd time - see it taking ages to do anything and likely go elsewhere22:08
flocculantochosi: re bugs you're seeing comment earlier - not often seeing it now, but some are > the double net indicator thing22:13
ochosiah right22:13
flocculantI'm assuming we're still not sure what etc22:13
ochosii remember, you mentioned that a few times22:13
flocculanthttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-panel/+bug/1685502/comments/422:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1685502 in xfce4-panel (Ubuntu) "Network manager icon appears twice on start up, from time to time" [Undecided,Confirmed]22:13
ochosiseems to be a race condition that is probably not fully under our control22:13
flocculantyea 22:13
ochosihopefully sn-plugin will make a difference there22:13
ochosior are you using that already?22:14
flocculantit's installed but not in panel22:14
flocculantbut I've not seen it for a while iirc22:14
flocculantwhen I *did* restarting panel/networky things made no difference 22:15
flocculantin 17.10 it stopped it22:15
flocculantanyway - kind of cosmetic imo really22:15
ochosiyeah, but not pretty22:16
ochosibecause very prominent22:16
flocculantaah yes - I think I have ind-plugin to see tbird on panel22:17
flocculantaaah22:17
flocculantwith sn-plugin and notifications - 2 net icons22:18
flocculantbluesabre: have day off tomorrow - out for a few hours midday ish - should be back in time to get the techy note up together 22:21
ochosiyou have to hide "application indicators" in the indicator plugin22:22
ochosithen they shouldn't be visible there22:23
ochosiso only once22:23
flocculantin sn-plugin?22:23
flocculantI don't have extra net in ind-plugin even though it's not hidden22:24
flocculantin sn-plugin it's showing net manager applet22:25
flocculantthat's just bizarre - only 1 net icon now 22:25
flocculantgiving up for Thursday - night all :)22:26
slickymasternighty night flocculant 22:29
