oSoMoNgood afternoon duflu07:17
didrocksgood morning07:21
oSoMoNsalut didrocks07:24
dufluMorning didrocks07:26
dufluoSoMoN, would you like me to condense that list of Gnome fixes in your doc?07:26
dufluOr maybe as a presentation, a longer list in small text will be more effective07:27
didrockshey oSoMoN, duflu07:27
oSoMoNduflu, I think a short list of the most relevant/interesting fixes would be better07:30
oSoMoNI won't have time to go into a great deal of detail07:31
dufluoSoMoN, I was thinking maybe an almost unreadable (but accurate) slide you didn't have to explain might be impactful07:31
oSoMoNnot sure unreadable is good07:33
dufluoSoMoN, yeah it's about the impact ("we did lots"), not the individual items07:33
dufluThe idea is that you're not meant to read it all07:34
oSoMoNgot it, we can do something like that, and people interested can go back to the slides and read them later on07:34
* duflu continues throwing fixes at Gnome to see what sticks07:35
oSoMoNI'd still like to highlight a few relevant fixes, those that stand out07:35
* oSoMoN → school07:36

willcookeI've just targetted this for Bionic:09:01
willcookehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/175416909:01
ubot5`Ubuntu bug 1754169 in nautilus (Ubuntu Bionic) "[Bionic] [wayland] many gnome applications exit or crash when a file is opened from within" [Undecided,Confirmed]09:01
willcookeBut looks like it could be wayland only, so maybe that was a mistake.  WDYT?09:01
tjaaltonduflu: looks like libinput 1.10.2 adds another crasher, according to debian bug #89271409:07
ubot5`Debian bug 892714 in libinput10 "libinput10: Crashes Gnome session" [Important,Open] http://bugs.debian.org/89271409:07

seb128good morning desktopers09:09
duflutjaalton, sounds close (within 2 lines) to a fix that landed today (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105258)09:11
ubot5`Freedesktop bug 105258 in libinput "libinput crashes Xorg with SIGABRT in libinput_event_get_pointer_event" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]09:11
seb128hey duflu tjaalton willcooke09:11
willcookehi seb12809:11
duflutjaalton, although prexisting crashes in 1.10.1 were marked as a duplicate of that. So it's not new in 1.10.209:11
seb128had a good w.e?09:11
seb128willcooke, good trip back?09:11
dufluMorning seb128, willcooke09:11
willcookeseb128, yeah fine.  The lounge was closed when we got there, so had a few hours to kill in the airport.  Found the "rooftop bar" but it was grrrrrrimmmmmm.09:13
duflutjaalton, yes it's the same line of code (off by 2 depending which branch you look at). So sounds like what was fixed today09:13
tjaaltonduflu: ok god09:13
tjaaltongood09:13
dufluAlso not new in 1.10.209:13
seb128is there any reason we didn't sync that update yet?09:17
tjaaltonweekend?09:17
seb128sounds like a good reason :)09:19
willcookedidrocks, great reply on the hub re: theme.09:47
didrockswillcooke: thanks! :)09:48
c-lobranoHi @willcooke and hi @didrocks, thanks for the reply ;)09:55
didrocksoh c-lobrano is around, hey! ;)09:56
c-lobrano:)09:56
didrocksthanks for your reply as well and happy to see we are aligned :)09:56
didrocksI'm going to push the move to bionic changes today btw, if you have time to review this evening…09:56
c-lobranoI'm always around, just in stealth mode :D09:56
didrocksheh09:56
c-lobranoof course, I'm still studying what has to be done however, never managed a ppa before09:57
didrocksc-lobrano: yeah, basically I need to implement the distro-part anyway at first09:58
didrockschanging some XDG_ for that session so that apps can look up for this theme09:58
c-lobranoalright. I'm also looking at that dashtodock "issue" you posted, but maybe I need a VM to avoid breaking my dev environment :D09:59
* c-lobrano already did on another machine and couldn't change gnome-shell anymore :(10:00
didrocksc-lobrano: yeah, because if I need to ship the empty file, it needs to be in the distro10:00
didrocksc-lobrano: was my post about it clear enough on the various options ?10:01
c-lobranodidrocks: if you refer to this https://community.ubuntu.com/t/mockups-new-design-discussions/1898/210, it looks clear, I just wanted to test it on my machine first10:03
didrocksc-lobrano: exactly, it was the one!10:03
c-lobranodidrocks: perfect :)10:03
didrocksbasically my idea to enable you to override from the snap would be to ship in ubuntu an empty .css file10:03
didrocks(matching the theme name)10:03
c-lobranothen we will provide the real .css with the snap?10:04
didrocksexactly10:04
didrocksor10:04
didrockseven in the main theme10:04
didrocksit should override the rest10:04
c-lobranodidrocks: I'd like the first option more10:05
didrocksc-lobrano: right, but from the snap, you can't ship a mode_name.css where the extension is installed10:07
c-lobranodidrocks: oh, right10:07
didrockswhich is why we are to rely on the implementation detail if the snap road is chosen :/10:07
c-lobranodidrocks: this also means we need to generate the dashtodock css separately from gnome-shell one10:13
andyrockgood morning!10:14
didrocksc-lobrano: not with the snap solution, basically we'll get it inside the gnome-shell one (in the snap) and allow overriding it by, in the distro, shipping this empty file matching the mode name.10:17

willcookedidrocks, oh yeah!10:57
willcookeemail is slower than you10:57
didrocksheh, I just hit "refresh" after a while while my code was compiling :p10:58
seb128GunnarHj, hey, yeah, I'm going to fix it ... did you try to build a package with your changes?11:06
GunnarHjseb128: Indeed I did. But only locally on amd64 (and that one succeeded).11:07
seb128GunnarHj, weird11:08
GunnarHjseb128: I'm lost. Usually when such code in d/rules fails, it spots out clear indications about what caused it.11:24
ricotzhey desktopers11:30
willcookemorning ricotz11:30
ricotzchrisccoulson, hi, are you working on firefox 59? I have pushed another change to the beta branch which you should pick up11:31
ricotzwillcooke, hey11:31
oSoMoNgood morning ricotz11:33
ricotzoSoMoN, hi11:42
seb128GunnarHj, k, I understand why it fails12:08
seb128GunnarHj, your loop ends with12:16
seb128    unity-session/usr/share/xsessions/unity.desktop; do \12:16
seb128test -f $$f && echo X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-session-3.0 >> $$f; \12:16
seb128done12:16
seb128GunnarHj, or unity (and gnome-session-common which contains gnome-session-properties.desktop) are "arch: all" so built only on amd6412:16
seb128so unity.desktop doesn't exist in this case12:17
seb128test returns 112:17
seb128the loop ends up on an error return12:17
seb128the makefile stops12:17
seb128unsure what's the "most correct way" to fix it12:17
seb128test && echo || true12:17
seb128or "! test || echo" maybe?12:18
seb128^ does anyone has an opinion on that?12:18
=== pstolowski|lunch is now known as pstolowski
jbichaseb128: GunnarHj: I believe the "correct" way is to use a override_dh_install-arch and override_dh_install-indep . We had to do this in the gnome-software packaging12:28
jbichaI wish unity-session were provided in a Unity package instead of gnome-session… :)12:29
ricotzI am a bit confused that clamav 0.99.4+addedllvm suggest it doesnt require an external llvm library, but libclamav7 depends on libllvm3.912:29
seb128jbicha, hey, do you want to fix it if you know the tweaks to do?12:31
jbichaI can take a look later if it's still not fixed12:32
seb128jbicha, well, if I fix it that's by using ! test || echo :p12:38
seb128that's less code that having sections for arch indep and arch dep bits12:38
jbichaor have Unity provide their own session files, that's less code for us too 😉12:39
seb128jbicha, does't resolve the gnome-session-common / gnome-session-properties.desktop which has the same issue12:40
jbichaok12:40
seb128jbicha, seems like that deja-dup/webkit bug stalled upstream, it was active/getting regular comment at the begging and now nothing :/12:52
jbichaI'm concerned that we get it fixed before we need to do another webkit2gtk security update :(12:56
GunnarHjseb128: I can submit an MP with "|| true" or changing it to "if [ -f $$f ]; then". Would any of those be ok?13:23
tjaaltonshould we install the vulkan drivers by default?13:26
tjaaltonmesa-vulkan-drivers13:26
jbichaseb128: are we demoting the gnome-characters .deb to universe?13:36
jbicha(I'm asking because I need to know whether to add the dh_translations meson hack or not)13:48
jbichaalso, could you subscribe the bug team to volume-key? MIR is LP: #175442213:49
ubot5`Launchpad bug 1754422 in volume-key (Ubuntu) "[MIR] volume-key" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/175442213:49
GunnarHjseb128: https://code.launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/gnome-session/translations2/+merge/34130514:05
seb128GunnarHj, I've been thinking about it over lunch, wouldn't it be easier to do14:08
seb128(hum, wait, checking something)14:09
seb128GunnarHj, for f in tmp/usr/share/wayland-sessions* tmp/usr/share/xsessions/* tmp/usr/share/applications/*; do14:11
seb128  test -f $$f && echo X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-session-3.0 >> $$f; \14:11
seb128done14:11
seb128dh_install14:11
seb128like do the iterate with *.desktop in tmp before dh_install14:11
seb128that wouldn't need to code the list of .desktop either so wouldn't need to change the rules if those are changing14:12
GunnarHjseb128: Makes sense. Back to drawing board.14:13
seb128GunnarHj, thx14:13
seb128jbicha, gnome-characters, I guess so?14:13
seb128jbicha, k for volume-key14:13
jbichaseb128: could you go ahead and demote g-characters then? (it shows up on component-mismatches)14:14
seb128jbicha, k14:16
jbichadidrocks: could you reconsider making your volume-past-100% feature for gnome-control-center apply only to the Ubuntu session?14:39
jbichagnome-tweaks on Ubuntu doesn't ship the Sound panel so it's hard for vanilla GNOME users to configure that14:40
didrocksjbicha: well, as long GNOME doesn't include it upstream, we said we would keep the vanilla experience vanilla14:43
didrocksnot adding our own features on top of it14:43
didrocksso, I'm really against due to this kind of deal and advertisement to let people using that feature "easily" on the vanilla experience, as they requested… vanilla :)14:43
jbichaI had a complaint about the missing Sound panel though :|14:43
didrocksdirect them to the PR on gitlab not getting reviewed14:44
jbicha(Ubuntu GNOME always had a few tweaks though…)14:45
didrocksyeah, but vanilla GNOME isn't Ubuntu GNOME14:45
jbichait sort of is14:46
jbichawe have lots of gnome-control-center patches, it seems odd to single one out for special treatment14:46
didrocksyeah, and I think we should (apart from the one being really integration to the system) condition them14:47
jbichahmm, ok, I don't plan to work on that though :)14:47
didrockseverything which is behavior base should be limited to ubuntu and not touching the vanilla GNOME14:47
didrocksif anyone wants to work on that, I would love to :)14:48
jbichaI mean I use the Ubuntu session anyway, so it doesn't directly affect me much :)14:48
didrocks:)14:48
didrockssame here14:48
didrocksif people don't like the vanilla experience, they may raise this on the bug?14:49
didrocksso that we get that finally reviewed14:49
didrockswhich will be a win for everyone14:49
jbichadidrocks: btw, I don't see upstream proposed g-c-c patches for that feature, just the g-s-d and gnome-shell patches14:52
didrocksjbicha: the g-c-c patch has been nacked14:54
didrocksonly the schema, tweaks, g-s-d and g-s has been +114:54
didrocks(even if GNOME design had the g-c-c mockups)14:54
jbichaso there really isn't a place for users to complain easily? :(14:55
didrocksthe GNOME Shell MR14:55
didrocksas told, it's where everything is blocked14:55
