didrockshey jibel08:16
jibelSalut didrocks08:21
himadri_hello08:23
himadri_'m trying to change splash screen on ubuntu 17.10 . Everything worked fine except I see first a purple blank screen for a second before my new splash screen.I don't understand why is it happening. Can anyone help me with this ?08:23
jibelgrrr, notifications in gnome-shell are so intrusive :(08:25
jibelis there an extension to move it on the side?08:25
didrocksjibel: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/708/panel-osd/08:27
didrocksunsure it works still though :)08:27
jameshjust get a second monitor.  Do all your work on the second screen and dedicate the first to notifications08:28
jibel:)08:28
jibeldidrocks, thanks, I'll try it08:28
jameshhimadri_: https://askubuntu.com/questions/47488/how-to-change-the-purple-background-color-in-grub might help08:28
jibelactually I'd like to disable them completely08:29
jameshhimadri_: the initial purple is probably from the Grub bootloader before Plymouth takes over08:30
jibeldone, better than a plugin08:30
dufluOh, chromium+vaapi is moving forward again08:33
* duflu high-fives oSoMoN08:34
oSoMoNduflu, no updates upstream for the past month, but I plan on distro-patching08:35
oSoMoNdoko, looking08:35
dufluFebruary is basically current. Relatively08:36
dufluCompared to where it stalled last year08:36
oSoMoNyeah, but I still don't see any signs of upstream being interested in that patch, unfortunately08:37
himadri_jamesh: it looks like a fix to my problem. thank you08:37
Nafallomorning08:37
oSoMoNgood morning Nafallo08:40
oSoMoNdoko, that's a test timeout, I'd say let's retry it to rule out a flake08:42
oSoMoNdoko, can you do that? I'm not allowed to retry the test08:42
seb128hey again desktopers :)08:44

dufluseb128, progress, I guess08:51
seb128duflu, Trevinho, we probably don't need all bugs fixed to do a landing/do incremental improvements but we should at least not do step backwards08:51

Laneyah well09:12
Laney:-)09:12
Laneyhow are you?09:12
seb128I'm good thanks!09:13
jibeldidrocks, I'm reviewing your MP for Ubiquity. For console_setup it adds a step when a new layout is selected so you end up with as many console_setup step as times you've clicked on an entry in the list of language09:26
jibels09:26
jibeldidrocks, is it on purpose?09:26
om26erjibel: speaking of ubiquity, are you maintaining it ?09:29
om26erI have a bug that I would like to get fixed, even contribute a patch if guided.09:30
om26erbug 175317209:30
ubot5`bug 1753172 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "locale settings for Pakistan should be en_PK.UTF-8 not ur_PK" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/175317209:30
om26erand Hi ;)09:31
jibelHi om26er, how are you?09:31
jibelom26er, not really maintaining but reviewing stuff we need for desktop for this release09:31
om26erjibel: I am great, thanks.09:32
om26erjibel: who is the maintainer currently, do you know ?09:32
didrocksjibel: yeah, it's the best we can get in term of information chaining screens09:33
didrocksjibel: unfortunately, tab labels have the same name for different screens09:33
didrocksfixing this at that time of the release is risky, as some backend are relying on tab name info09:33
didrocksso it's better than nothing for 18.04 IMHO09:33
didrocksyou will see the same for partman screens for instance09:34
jibelom26er, mainly the foundations team09:35
seb128didrocks, when you say "tab name info" that's not the title of the pages in the gtk frontend? (just wondering since I renamed one recently)09:37
didrocksseb128: I don't think they exactly match, especially on the partman step09:40
jibeldidrocks, okay, so you're fine have several console_setup and language steps?09:41
jibelhaving09:41
didrocksjibel: yeah, it's more a "for the future" placeholder IMHO09:42
didrocksjibel: the important data are start/end install09:42
jibeldidrocks, apart from that small nitpick everything else is fine;09:43
jibel.09:43
didrockssweet! :)09:44
didrocksthanks for testing jibel. I'm waiting on some feedbacks on my comments from Laney to see how we do proceed09:44
seb128didrocks, it's probably easier to discuss with Laney on the channel now that over the mp09:47
didrocksI didn't specify where I do expect his feedback :)09:48
seb128also might help to get consensus if we have a few more opinions on what data we want and why09:48
seb128right, it's just me trying to bootstrap that discussion for here/now :p09:48
didrocksheh, I'm all ready on my side09:48
seb128so I'm not sure to understand what the "steps" are and what info we are looking at getting out of those records09:49
Laneyjust commented09:49
Laneyactually i did before those messages :P09:49
Laneythe main point left for me is that I don't see what the steps thing is trying to achieve09:49
seb128right, so let's see what didrocks envision them to be09:50
seb128didrocks, can you reword/do a summary for me?09:50
Laneywhat is the requirement?09:50
didrocksThe idea of the step is to know what screen appeared for the user and if they had to go back/fix things09:50
didrocksthen, we can enlarge this data later on with more precise installer info, like "start install, start download, start update, start removing useless packages…"09:51
didrocksif you feel it's useless, I'm happy to remove them, and only keep start installer, start install and done09:51
seb128we know the sequence from the code/options right?09:52
seb128so it's basically to know if users come back at some point?09:52
didrocksseb128: the sequence can differ based on the mode, but yeah, we know it09:54
seb128having the "start {install,download,update,cleaning}" would be useful if we have stamps and know how long each step takes09:54
didrocksit's just to know if users came back, indeed09:54
seb128k09:54
didrocksyeah, but we can't have download/update/cleaning at this point09:54
seb128to me it doesn't matter much to have the steps09:54
seb128I don't think it's an issue to collect them09:54
seb128but I also don't think we can make much use of the info09:54
seb128so whatever you feel like is right/worth doing wfm09:55
didrocksok, so removing?09:55
seb128Laney, do you have a strong opinion either way?09:55
didrocksLaney has a good point with people sitting on a page for coffee. I thought though that in global, we could get "hard to read/too long" pages09:56
seb128didrocks, well, if you have the code/info we can as well collect them, who knows maybe we see that 30% of users redo the partionning step and that tells us there is something wrong with that step09:56
seb128though I guess for most it's going to be linear and we know that partionning is complex/requires decisions09:57
seb128so unsure what outcome we could have from the info09:57
didrocksseb128: the code is here, the question is keeping or removing I guess ;)09:58
seb128didrocks, so "Steps" is a list of page names/ids?09:58
seb128looks like timestamp/name pairs records09:59
didrockscorrect + start installer / start install / done09:59
didrocks(start installer being the "0" time, as Laney suggested to have relative time)10:00
seb128k, well to me the info shouldn't be a privacy concern and even if it doesn't seem that useful, who knows we might something interesting out of it and the code is there10:02
seb128so I'm +0.3 on it :p10:02
seb128let's wait what Laney says10:02
didrocksyeah10:02
didrocksI'm doing the other file protection (that unfortunately most of ubiquity's code doesn't have)10:03
seb128while you are it you should add it to the rest of ubiquity :p10:04
* seb128 hides10:04
didrockssureeeee, doing it after you :p10:05
tjaaltonLaney: uploaded the fix for your xserver crash10:06
Laneydidrocks: ♥ tjaalton: ♥10:06
Laneylove is all around10:06
tjaaltonand also everything else accumulated to upstream stable branch..10:06
tjaalton:)10:07
Laneyyeah I think if we were interested in difficulties with the partitioner you'd need more telemertry to find out what exactly is going wrong there10:07
Laneymainly I just feel uneasy about collecting things without knowing how they are useful10:07
seb128that's what big data is about :p10:08
LaneyI get how seeing how the installer's performance varies over time is good10:08
Laneybut knowing if I had a tea while looking at the keyboard page10:08
Laneydunno about that10:08
seb128collect all the info, eventually throwing them in a big stat machine is going to give you something useful10:08
seb128right10:08
seb128I think you are right, it's not clear we can have value out of info10:08
seb128or maybe we see that the average time on the keyboard list is 45s with a low variation10:09
seb128like people don't go for a tea, they just spend in average twice the time they spend on another step10:09
seb128and that tells us it's more complex for some reason to deal with that step10:09
seb128but seems like nobody has a strong feeling either way10:10
seb128so we just need to flip a coin/decide10:10
Laneywell I do have an unease about it all10:11
Laneyprobably me being old fashioned10:11
Laneybut I'd rather start small and work up10:11
Laneythe counter argument is that adding it later is less value, that's the big data thing isn't it10:11
Laneybut in that case we should ask for way more stuff :P10:12
seb128:)10:12
seb128Laney, do you have some specific concern about the privacy aspect of those data? how uneasy do you feel about it?10:16
seb128after a bit pondering I think it would be useful, most people probably spend between 10 seconds and 1 min on a step and I think the "going for a tea" are going to be "out of range" so the data should tell give us an useful estimate of how long specific steps take in average10:17
seb128which might be useful to designers to try to make some steps easier to undderstand, relayout10:18
seb128and maybe see what impact a design change can have on the average time spent on a step10:18
seb128so I would +1 having the info since I don't see any really private content there10:18
seb128but I don't want to force that decision against other if you feel strongly about it either10:18
didrocks(anyway, renaming it to stage is good whatever the decision is, so renaming it that way, wanting for finale decision)10:22
darkxsthey seb128 Laney didrocks10:24
seb128hey Tim10:25
didrockshey darkxst10:26
darkxstdidrocks, did you see my comment re plymouth themes on one of the community hub topics?10:29
didrocksdarkxst: yes, it was more directed to madrsh anyway, but I know the limitations of plymouth10:30
didrocksnever tested the fps rate though10:30
* darkxst had crazy designers that wanted stuff like that!10:31
darkxstbut we ended up with a simple spinning circle!10:33
Laneyseb128: not sure I like having to justify why *not* collecting something is a privacy concern, should rather be the other way around10:33
Laneyanyway if you think it's okay, and we will use this data, then fine, I don't feel strongly and that's the threshold10:33
seb128Laney, right, well after some pondering I think having the "how much people spend on that page" info can help validating/unvalidating design tweaks10:34
seb128got me pretty excited in fact now :p10:34
seb128and we can filter any time > 90s as a "user got interrupted so discard the record"10:34
seb128or something around those line10:34
Laneyok, that should be a comment on the MP if you want that implemented10:35
seb128k10:36
seb128thanks for the feedback Laney!10:36
jibelthe data should still be collected even if > some threshold then filtered when it's processed10:36
LaneyI'm a little bit worried that we should be more rigorous here and we don't have enough expertise in the stats / data field10:36
Laneywhy should it10:36
jibelwhy shouldn't it?10:37
jibelit gives an idea of its repartition10:37
LaneyI don't want you knowing I went to the toilet10:37
jibelI won't know unless you tell me10:37
jibelor we're in a HO10:37
LaneyI finish the installation and send you that data10:37
jibelif you collect the data you can adjust the threshold, if you don't the info is lost forever10:38
LaneyI don't like the maximalist approach10:38
willcookemorning al10:38
willcookel10:38
Laneyhi willcooke10:39
Laneyhey darkxst too10:39
jibelit is not maximalist, it's binary, you collect or not some metric independently of it's values.10:39
didrocksthanks for the review Laney, I pushed thus remaining commits for other changes (renaming as well Steps to Stages which is a good idea IMHO)10:39
jibelits10:39
didrocksjibel: I'll give it a try before submitting, don't want you to have to test a typo issue if any in those changes (but I would welcome a second pair of eyes on the commits)10:40
jibelthen filter afterwards depending on the analysis you want to perform10:40
oSoMoNdidrocks, kenvandine : I was investigating bug #1755178 and found that removing unity-gtk3-module from the snap makes the crash go away, do we really need that package in the gtk3 desktop helper?10:41
ubot5`bug 1755178 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "[snap] Math segfaults at startup on Ubuntu 16.04" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/175517810:41
LaneySending data by default without knowing whether you even want it, that's maximalism10:41
LaneyThe cost is not being able to decide later that you wanted something from earlier10:41
LaneyWhich is an OK cost10:41
LaneyWhen the other side is sending lots of information about what I'm doing on my system10:41
didrocksoSoMoN: it's needed if you want to export the menu to Unity, but it should be part of the platform snap IMHO10:42
Laneydidrocks: ok so once QAed then seems okay to me10:42
didrocksLaney: no obvious typo in my last commits? :)10:42
jibeldidrocks, okay, let me know when you're done10:43
didrocksjibel: will give it a try during our team meeting, so by EOD, should be good10:43
Laneydidrocks: not that I can see, conflict in the changelog though so needs rebasing?10:44
Laneydunno if we care about that in bzr world10:44
didrocksLaney: I would rebase if we had a maintained tool for it (also, I would have squashed the commits after the review), I don't think we care that much in the bzr world. Thanks for spotting the conflict in changelog, will fix it10:45
didrocksand thanks for the review!10:45
LaneyI never made git-bzr work properly :(10:46
willcookehoy10:47
oSoMoNdidrocks, which menu? I removed the package and I'm still seeing the LO menu bar in the unity panel10:47
darkxstLaney, I wrote a simple git import-bzr script at one point which works well in single direction10:48
seb128hey willcooke10:48
oSoMoNhey willcooke10:48
didrocksoSoMoN: this is for pure gtk app10:48
didrocksLaney: last time I used it, it scratched my branch :/10:49
oSoMoNdidrocks, ack, so perfectly safe to remove in the libreoffice snap10:49
didrocksoSoMoN: indeed10:49
oSoMoNthat's good enough for me10:49
oSoMoNthanks!10:49
didrocksyw ;)10:49
willcookeoSoMoN, did you ever request auto-connection for camera interface in Cr.?10:49
seb128oSoMoN, didrocks, the gtk plugin is needed for apps that don't talk gmenumodel, which libreoffice does10:49
oSoMoNwillcooke, yes, and it was granted a while back10:49
willcookeoSoMoN, thought so, ta10:50
willcookepopey, ^10:50
didrocksseb128: oh, I thought it was the other way around10:50
oSoMoNwillcooke, that was https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/auto-connecting-the-camera-interface-for-the-chromium-snap/401410:50
didrocksok, weird that it's still working for oSoMoN without it though10:50
seb128didrocks, I don't think so, if they use gmenumodel the model is on the bus so the indicator can see it10:50
seb128no?10:51
seb128willcooke, we were discussing whether to record the installer steps list and their timestamp a bit earlier, unsure if you have an opinion. See https://code.launchpad.net/~didrocks/ubiquity/intall-metrics/+merge/341229 (need to select the r6593 in the preview diff combo box and then it's the section starting l378 of the file).10:52
popeywillcooke: oSoMoN oh dear, seems we missed that one. Our bad. Have +1'ed. It'll get actioned when jdstrand is back from vacation10:53

willcookeseb128, readding10:53
willcookeeading10:53
oSoMoNpopey, thanks10:54
seb128willcooke, you have basically the summary of the discussion on the channel from the log after you joined10:54
popeyyou might want to consider the password manager service interface too oSoMoN10:54
oSoMoNpopey, yep, that's a good one, will add it shortly, thanks10:56
oSoMoNpopey, can/should it be auto-connected?10:56
popeyyeah, might wanna add it to that thread (also cups-control)10:56
oSoMoNis it ok to re-use the same thread?10:57
popeyyeah, reply to it and we can agree to the full list and get jamie on it when he's back10:57
popeywhy does it need network-manager?10:57
oSoMoNmy memory fails me, let me dig into the repository history10:59
willcookeseb128, no strong feelings either way.  Pondering it now, but don't block on me11:02
* willcooke gets coffee to help thinking11:02
oSoMoNdarn, the initial commit already had that plug11:03
oSoMoNhistory is not very helpful there11:03
seb128willcooke, k, let us know11:04
oSoMoNpopey, it might have been for the listen syscall, but it looks like the network-bind interface is better suited11:05
oSoMoNpopey, I'm making a note to test that later11:05
popeyok11:05
oSoMoNit could very well be that I inherited that from previous attempts to make a chromium snap, and I never questioned its relevance11:07
jibelxnox, hi, do you think you could adjust this patch lp:~xnox/ubiquity/lp1632151 ? it'd be useful to have it merged11:11
rbasakjamesh: o/12:35
rbasakjamesh: so on my theme being unreadable in my snap, turns out it's unreadable in other places as well such as Libreoffice12:35
rbasakWhich is just installed from packaging on Artful.12:35
rbasakgnome-tweak-tool says my theme is "Ambiance", which I've never touched.12:35
rbasakI tried changing it to something else and back again, and nothing seems to have changed.12:36
rbasakIn any case, it's not a problem in the snap at least, or so it seems.12:36
rbasakJust my mostly default Artful desktop.12:36
rbasakI'll see what happens when I bump up to Bionic.12:36
oSoMoNpopey, it's been reported that the chromium snap on 18.04 with nvidia proprietary drivers is all black again (https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-chromium-65-0-3325-146/4390/2), when you get a chance can you please confirm (if you run 18.04 on that machine of yours that has nvidia)?12:40
jbichajibel: I'm not sure what you're asking but maybe what you want is GNOME Settings > Notifications > Notification Popups > Off12:40
jibeljbicha, I wanted to move the notification to the border of the screen. But finally I disabled it completely and it's fine.12:43
k_alamjbicha: when can we expect fix for autopkgtest to land ? It is regarding a bunch of packages not compiling on armhf...12:55
jbichak_alam: could you be more specific? :)12:56
oSoMoNpopey, flexiondotorg: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/auto-connecting-the-camera-interface-for-the-chromium-snap/4014/612:57
k_alamjbicha: not sure about which bug it was...but notify-osd is failing....And so is dconf and unity-settings...http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/n/notify-osd/bionic/armhf12:58
jbichaI don't see any failures for unity-settings…12:59
jbichathe notify-osd/dconf issue is known but shouldn't really be causing any problems for Unity12:59
k_alamjbicha: Ok. So will you disable this arch for these packages?13:02
jbichawhy are you concerned about dconf?13:02
jbichait's on our to-do list for bionic but it's fairly low priority really13:04
jbichawe've spent a few hours trying to fix it already13:05
k_alamjbicha: I am not really concerned but dconf is a important dependency...13:07
jbicharight, but this particular blocked update doesn't seem very important13:11
k_alamjbicha: Another issue, I have few merge proposal...Can you review those....if you have time? This is the only high importance bug for u-c-c....13:12
jbichak_alam: just the Sharing panel?13:13
k_alamjbicha: Yes....for now.....u-s-d should be merged first and then u-c-c13:14
jbichayou should subscribe ubuntu-sponsors to bugs like that so they show up on http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/13:14
jbichait's on my list to look at later if no one else gets to it first. I'm pretty busy this week though. Sorry13:15
k_alamjbicha: Ok. No prob..Please review when you have time... Thanks. :)13:17
jbichak_alam: btw, the March 2nd commits at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/commits/gnome-3-28 might be interesting for you13:20

Laneysome of the ones in unknown concern us14:56
seb128the ones that do show on desktop/dx as well through other components I think?14:57
Laneythat is accepted, I think the tag needs to be removed (and someone should be assigned)14:57
Laneymaybe these ones, but don't think that is true in general14:57
Laneyworks for this week though14:57
seb128right14:57
seb128I looked at those before suggesting we do the desktop-set14:58
Laneyok cool14:58
seb128I should have stated that14:58
seb128anyway14:58
Laneyjust wanted to make sure we didn't miss stuff14:58

seb128g-s-d ... any taker?14:58
Laneysure14:59
seb128Laney, thanks!14:59
seb128that might be the same issue that the session timeout14:59
Laneymaybe, if so I don't see that so might be difficult to look at14:59
seb128well I guess we will know when both are investigated14:59
LaneyI'll have a look14:59

tseliotseb128: sure15:06
seb128thx15:06
LaneyI got 390 today, going to restart in a bit ;-)15:06
jbichaseb128: could be GNOME 3.28 but we also had mesa stuff landing in bionic at the same time15:06
seb128good luck :)15:06
seb128jbicha, they landed a bit earlier and was in proposed for a while ... but yeah15:06
Laneyone to accept I think15:07
seb128yes15:07
jbichaI guess we should try filing a mutter bug upstream to see what they think15:07
seb128sound like one that duflu could look at15:07
seb128jbicha, do you want to do that?15:07
seb128if not I ask duflu tomorrow if he can poke at it15:07

seb128x_nox fixed the most important issue by making url-dispatcher not to depend on unity-scopes-api15:10
Laneywe might even want to drop our team from the unity stuff15:10
seb128which was the stack with net-cpp creating issue15:10
Laneythen they don't show up here at all15:10
seb128good point15:11
seb128I'm going to do that15:11
jbichaseb128: can I get a +1 to remove those 2 indicator packages I mentioned on that bug? maybe I need to open a separate bug…15:11
Laneyalthough...15:11
Laney...LTS?15:11
seb128still having a view on xenial unity you mean?15:11
Laneyyeah we do still support them there15:11
Laneycan't subscribe per series15:12

seb128Laney, thanks for the reminder and notes!15:13
seb128indeed15:13
seb128though we do have a bunch of bugs assigned to people15:13
Laneyanything on tracking to check up on?15:13
seb128which we don't actively track15:13
Laneyor next week maybe because of sprint15:13
seb128I'm unsure if we could/should15:13
seb128tracking? wdym?15:14
Laneyhttp://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-tracking-bug-tasks.html15:14
seb128ah, I guess that's the counter part which are the ones we accepted15:14
seb128I had forgotten about that15:15
Laneyyeah15:15
seb128good, that replies to my previous question15:15
seb128but yeah, I guess we didn't do much progress since the sprint/travelling15:15
seb128so let's start reviewing it next week15:15
Laneymaybe it should be a status update item15:15
Laneygive a line to assigned rls bugs or something15:15
seb128we used to do that I think :)15:16
seb128good idea15:16
Laneydoomed to reinvent the past15:16
seb128let's talk to willcooke about it once he's back15:16

seb128thx!15:17
jbichaLaney: I wanted to follow up on last week's git discussion15:17
jbichathe plan for now is to push ubuntu/ branches to LP, right?15:18
Laneythink so15:18
Laneythat's my proposal anyway15:18
jbichaand we're not worried about preserving bzr history?15:18
seb128we didn't discuss that topic15:18
seb128but I guess that's not really doable, is it?15:18
kenvandineprobably not worth the hassle15:19
Laneynot sure how you would, seems really hard to interleave it in the git stuff15:19
seb128did Debian preserve any svn history when they migrated?15:19
jbichaI personally don't care about the bzr history15:19
Laneyyeah, there was an export15:19
LaneyI'd just push "this branch is dead" to all of them when they move15:19
jbichaseb128: yes we managed to preserve most of the svn history15:19
Laneyand then you can go back to see the history if you're an archaeologist15:19
seb128if they did it for svn we should be able to do it for our bzr using similar tools?15:20
jbichaseb128: are you volunteering yourself? ;)15:20
seb128for any repo I'm migrating yes15:20
seb128:)15:20
* Laney doesn't like trolling on this topic :(15:20
Laneyyou'd have to like15:21
Laneygo back and find the base debian revision for each commit15:21
seb128sorry15:21
Laneycheck out that tag and then merge into it15:21
seb128do you know how Debian did it for the svn?15:21
Laneyand then roll that forward up to the present15:21
Laneyyes, an svn export which was then carved up and converted to git15:21
seb128the principle/tools wouldn't easily apply to our bzr repos?15:22
seb128I guess we are going to end up deciding it's not worth the effort15:22
Laneynow we have a repository with the history from svn in it15:22
seb128but it's a bit sad to loose the history15:22
Laneyso you have to go back and insert the bzr commits at the right place15:22
jbichait ended up taking years for Debian GNOME to get around to converting from svn to git15:23
seb128just because of them wanting to keep history?15:23
jbichaa straight bzr-to-git conversion would be easier, but interleaving it with the new Debian git repo is more complex15:23
seb128well, I guess we don't have enough resources to work on that15:23
Laneywhat you could do is convert the stuff to git15:23
Laneyand put it in a different branch15:23
Laneyso it's right there to look at but not in the history on master15:24
seb128+1 from me  to not converting, even if it makes me sad to nuke records of years of work done by our team15:24
seb128how do other feel?15:24
seb128didrocks, kenvandine, ?15:25
kenvandinesorry... let me read back15:25
didrocksyeah, I don't feel it worths the effort15:25
kenvandinenot worth it imo15:25
didrocksat worst, we keep old branch around15:25
didrocksfor history!15:25
didrocks:)15:25
seb128k15:26
seb128Laney, jbicha, there you go :)15:26
jbicha(Debian had a bit more urgency because we were concerned about the svn repos being removed completely)15:26
seb128right15:26
jbichaand we're cool to move packaging to git now, right?15:26
seb128still stuck to pretend all the work we did didn't exist15:26
seb128I don't think we decided on that15:27
seb128and the meeting has already been an hour today15:27
Laneyhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/pncJWS68YP/15:27
Laneyjbicha: for next cycle15:27
seb128we should get to a consensus/update the post on the community hub15:28
seb128or maybe start with a few selected repos to see how it goes15:28
jbichawhat about for stuff in main that doesn't have an Ubuntu packaging branch yet? I think gvfs was a good example of one of these packages15:28
seb128just to validate the workflow/etc15:29
seb128jbicha, I would prefer to delay to next cycle, let's rediscuss next week15:29
seb128we don't have good Ubuntu contributor documentation15:29
seb128and I'm concerned that changing now is going to impact people work for the LTS15:29
jbichaI'm working on 3.28.0 stuff this week is why I'm asking now :)15:29
seb128like now you want to fix a bug in gvfs and you need to dig into using new tools15:29
seb128learning new workflows15:30
seb128fixing potential fallouts, etc15:30
seb128that's not what we want to be spending time on atm15:30
didrocksI guess that's what we wanted to discuss that post-FF, to plan for starting it on the 18.10 cycle15:31
jbichagvfs is also a package that is basically maintained in Debian right now. There is a trivial diff that I don't think can be easily pushed in to Debian15:31
seb128next cycle is no far15:31
seb128jbicha, I disagree with that, I did a gvfs upload some days ago to fix an autopkgtest issue15:31
jbichayes and I had to push it to Debian for you :|15:31
kenvandine+1 on holding off just a little longer15:31
seb128it would have been much more annoying if the packaging had been in git15:31
kenvandinewe're close to closing out bionic15:31
kenvandinehate to risk slowing anything down15:32
seb128k15:32
seb128I think that close the topic (for this week at least)?15:32
kenvandine+115:32
didrocksyes15:32
seb128other topics?15:32
jbichakenvandine: (at least for me, having to push stuff to bzr too slows me down)15:33
kenvandinejbicha, understood... i think for now whatever is easiest?15:33
jbicha(but I'll let this discussion end)15:33
jbichakenvandine: (lol)15:33
kenvandinei'm anxious to change as well, but might not be a great time for folks to learn their way around15:33
kenvandinegoing once...15:33
kenvandinetwice...15:34

kenvandinethanks everyone15:36
didrocksthanks!15:36
seb128Laney, it's not a firm "no", just trying to figure out what we can do15:36
seb128some people are still busy full time on late features15:36
seb128e.g andyrock on livepatch or didrocks on the metrics work15:37
seb128so I don't think we can distract them from their work with that atm15:37
seb128but if some people feel like they can squeeze some sponsoring in their week please od15:37
seb128do15:37
kenvandineLaney, i'll make it a point to look over that list myself15:37
kenvandinehopefully others will too15:38
Laneyok, it's my experience that fitting it in doesn't really work and you need to allocate time15:38
Laneyso hoping isn't going to work15:38
Laneybut that is a matter of team priorities and not for me15:38
Laneyat least I raised awareness15:39
didrocksspeaking of livepatch, andyrock, how do you know if livepatch is enabled or disabled?15:39
didrocksjust a systemd unit or something else?15:39
jbichaLaney: looking at component-mismatches, do you know what gstreamer1.0-gtk3 is for? and if we need it?15:40
didrocksjibel: FYI: https://code.launchpad.net/~didrocks/ubiquity/intall-metrics/+merge/341229/comments/89201815:44
Laneyjbicha: Don't think so, it gives you a gstgtksink element for using with Gtk applications but we don't need that15:49
oSoMoNLaney, libreoffice uses gstgtksink, fwiw15:57
LaneyoSoMoN: ok, but it was never in main before :-)16:04

oSoMoNLaney, no indeed, it was in -bad so I guess in universe16:08
oSoMoNnot sure what you meant by "we don't need that", so I chimed in just in case…16:08
LaneyoSoMoN: directly in the seeds, but if libreoffice needs or would benefit from it you could add a Recommends or something16:10
oSoMoNLaney, libreoffice-avmedia-backend-gstreamer currently suggests gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, I'm making a note to look into updating that16:15
Laneyok ♥16:15
Laneyshould get some better hearts composable 💓16:16
oSoMoNI suppose there are still a few interesting decoders in bad though, so we wouldn't remove that suggests, only add the extra one on gstreamer1.0-gtk16:16

seb128$ hostnamectl status16:47
seb128Failed to create bus connection: No such file or directory16:47
seb128unsure if the test creates an env though, I need to look at that16:47
seb128but that might be the issue/meant to be tested on a real install not in a builder16:47

dokohmm, fonts-ubuntu-font-family-console wants to demote. is this intended?18:24
jbichadoko: yes, it's a transitional package. If you do Plymouth work, that can be updated to depends on fonts-ubuntu instead of ttf-ubuntu-font-family too18:31
jbichaunless it's a problem for transitional packages to drop out of main?18:31
dokono, was just curious about it18:32
