| dja | doko: quick question re: python packaging - the microsoft folk who do walinuxagent want to add a dependency on python3-distro. walinuxagent is in main and python3-distro is in universe - do you think a MIR for python3-distro would be likely to be acceptable? | 09:14 |
| doko | dja: it's a simple module, why not. but then, why would you add that in a package? sic ... | 09:20 |
| dja | doko: walinuxgent gets info about the distro to configure itself properly. The python standard library is dropping the functions that walinuxagent uses, and python3-distro is the what they want to use to replace it. | 09:22 |
| dja | they raised a support case with us - the proposed pull request is https://github.com/Azure/WALinuxAgent/pull/1036 and they wanted to know if that approach would work for us | 09:25 |

| phoenix_firebrd | thresh would like to have you guys backport the above one line patch so that he can rebuild the vlc snap with the fixed driver | 13:49 |
| juliank | phoenix_firebrd: thresh: As explained before, we need to know which versions are affected. The bug only talks about artful (1.8), but snaps are built from xenial (1.7). | 13:52 |
| juliank | And apart from figuring out which releases are affected, we need test cases to verify that the uploads fix the bug | 13:53 |
| juliank | which is all documented in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 13:53 |
| phoenix_firebrd | do any of you guys have an intel kabylake processor or newer? | 13:55 |
| thresh | I don't | 13:56 |
| juliank | I have the lasted and greatest i5-8250u | 13:56 |
| juliank | :D | 13:56 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: does it have VP9 decoding profile? | 13:56 |
| thresh | (still waiting for Lenovo to start selling T480 here) | 13:57 |
| juliank | phoenix_firebrd: I have no idea | 13:57 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: vainfo? | 13:57 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: If it supports, can you try playing a downloaded youtube video(or any video encoded in VP9 codec) using vlc snap? | 13:58 |
| juliank | does not say anything about vp9 right now, but might need the just uploaded fix (I'm on bionic) - but then it works anyway | 13:58 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: can you try playing a downloaded youtube video(or any video encoded in VP9 codec) using vlc snap? | 14:01 |
| juliank | But its HD620 should support it | 14:01 |
| Laney | eoli3n: it's generated in unity-greeter itself | 14:02 |
| Laney | ends up as /usr/share/unity-greeter/logo.png but look at debian/rules | 14:02 |
| Laney | if you're talking about updating it for 18.04, I think Trevinho has a merge proposal for that | 14:03 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: I checked the intel page and also the wikipedia page, yours is a kabylake processor and it supports VP9 profile | 14:03 |
| eoli3n | thx Laney i migrated to slick-greeter on 18.04 daylibuild | 14:03 |
| Trevinho | Laney: it should be landed no? | 14:03 |
| Laney | nope | 14:04 |
| Laney | one of the mps wasn't approved | 14:04 |
| Laney | going now | 14:04 |
| eoli3n | is there anyway to generate it outside of unity-greeter, which will probably disapear ? | 14:04 |
| eoli3n | by the way, slick-greeter is far away better | 14:04 |
| eoli3n | i can configure with a single conf file | 14:05 |
| juliank | phoenix_firebrd: probably have to switch from wayland to xorg, because it fails with libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with operation failed,driver_name=i965 | 14:05 |
| Laney | you can get the program that unity-greeter uses from its source probably | 14:05 |
| jbicha | eoli3n: Unity requires unity-greeter for its lockscreen I believe | 14:05 |
| Trevinho | Laney: ah ok.. I thought you already published it :-P | 14:05 |
| Laney | I did but it failed and I didn't notice | 14:05 |
| eoli3n | jbicha: unity is dead | 14:06 |
| juliank | In any case a snap is not a valid reproducer for an SRU, we need to validate it some other way anyway | 14:06 |
| eoli3n | that was my ansible role to configure unity-greeter.... -> https://ptpb.pw/2Vep | 14:06 |
| eoli3n | what a mess | 14:06 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: you get that error in vlc or on your host? | 14:07 |
| jbicha | eoli3n: in that case, why don't you use gdm3? | 14:07 |
| juliank | phoenix_firebrd: that's the snap | 14:07 |
| juliank | phoenix_firebrd: host fails with [00007fac7002f150] vaapi generic error: profile(19) is not supported | 14:07 |

| juliank | because broken vaapi driver :D | 14:08 |
| eoli3n | jbicha: because i don't want to reconfigure entire display manager before 18.04 official release | 14:08 |
| eoli3n | i will probably | 14:08 |
| eoli3n | but not for now | 14:08 |
| jbicha | Trevinho: you might need something like https://github.com/ArcticaProject/arctica-greeter/pull/9 (if you didn't already fix that issue) | 14:08 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: thats the current bug | 14:08 |
| juliank | yeah | 14:08 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: when will the daily iso reflect the fix? | 14:08 |
| Trevinho | jbicha: that's already fixed | 14:09 |
| juliank | phoenix_firebrd: first it needs to migrate out of proposed to release, not sure if there are tests to run | 14:09 |
| juliank | if not, it should be pretty fast. | 14:10 |
| juliank | not sure when the images are built, but within the next 2 days? | 14:10 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: ok. If i test the said patch with the 16.04 and update it in a bug report, is there a possibility that it will be backported to 16.04? | 14:10 |

| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: that bug report on bug affecting 17.10 was created by me | 14:21 |

| juliank | the bug only talks about 17.10 and 1.8 | 14:21 |
| juliank | again, xenial ships 1.7 | 14:21 |
| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: ok I will check that out, I will be back with the result later | 14:22 |

| phoenix_firebrd | juliank: tjaalton thresh thanks a lot you people | 14:23 |
| mpt | jbicha, making minimal install a checkbox introduces the problem “As opposed to what?” What happens when someone leaves it unchecked? Moving the checkbox doesn’t solve that problem. That’s why I designed it as a pair of ratio buttons instead. <https://goo.gl/DqtvZL> | 14:23 |
| mpt | *radio buttons | 14:23 |
| juliank | thresh: don't you want to upgrade the vaapi driver to 2.1 or something anyway to get support for cannonlake? Or just wait for the 18.04 core and rebase on that? | 14:25 |
| juliank | I guess there's still time :D | 14:25 |
| jbicha | mpt: ok, that would be a bit better. The current implementation feels to me like it strongly suggests the Minimal installation which I didn't think was our intent | 14:26 |

| didrocks | jbicha: are you going to change it to this? | 14:28 |
| jbicha | it's on my to-do list to take a look at it, yes | 14:29 |
| thresh | juliank, I cant upgrade to anything newer than 16.04, or my snaps won't be accepted to snap store. | 14:30 |
| thresh | juliank, I can wait for 18.04, but that's going to take at least half a year, and very likely more than that, for snap core to get 18.04 there. | 14:30 |
| juliank | I was just curious about cannonlake :D | 14:31 |
| juliank | but it's still basically a year to go, so by then that should be ready and we focus on fixing VP9 now :-) | 14:31 |
| ogra_ | thresh, you are completely neglecting the advantage of snaps with that ... the good thing about snbaps is that you definitely can do such stuff (and should) | 14:34 |
| rbasak | thresh: I build snaps in a container, so the release installed on my host doesn't matter. | 14:34 |
| juliank | thresh: Basically my question is how you want to deal with new hardware that requires newer vaapi drivers in the snap than there exist in the archive. cannonlake end of this year is one example, can probably base snaps on 18.04 by then; but icelake in 2019 might need another driver update. It's something to think about now-ish rather than when it happens | 14:34 |
| ogra_ | thresh, (talking about the "i wont build my own driver" ) | 14:34 |
| Mirv | my guess was that since vlc snap already includes self-compiled whole Qt 5.10, compiling newer libva + i965-va-driver as well would not be a bad idea for the snap | 14:35 |
| juliank | I don't have any problem with them not building their own driver, but then someone likely needs to do hwe updates for vaapi drivers | 14:35 |
| === dgadomski_ is now known as dgadomski | ||
| thresh | ogra_, with what? | 14:36 |
| juliank | it might be worthwhile anyway :) | 14:36 |
| thresh | rbasak, me too, I don't even run Ubuntu on a host that build snaps. | 14:36 |
| Mirv | hwe updates for vaapi drivers otoh is not a bad idea either, although it's probably not happening for 18.04 either as it's soon finished | 14:36 |
| thresh | juliank, I rely on Ubuntu to ship fixed stuff for that. | 14:36 |
| ogra_ | thresh, with the "i wont build my own driver" ... this is exactly what snaps offer you ... add another part to your snapcraft.yaml and you can have a better driver than the distro | 14:36 |
| Mirv | since many apps will use the non-snap base distro drivers | 14:36 |
| thresh | ogra_, I didnt say I *cant*, I just *wont*, because it's not my bug. | 14:37 |
| thresh | it's for Ubuntu to fix their packages. | 14:37 |
| === phoenix_firebrd is now known as phoenix_firebrd_ | ||
| thresh | Seriosly. | 14:37 |
| thresh | +u | 14:37 |
| juliank | thresh: currently there are no updates for new hardware, so e.g. no coffee lake for 16.04. | 14:37 |
| juliank | that's all I am saying. | 14:37 |
| juliank | It's likely that someone needs to step up and come up with a plan for that and take care of it :) | 14:38 |
| ogra_ | thresh, and they will be fixed, but until then you will have whining users that you could perhaps quieten with 5 lines of yaml ... | 14:38 |
| thresh | I understand that, and I think someone on HWE team needs to think about that. | 14:38 |
| thresh | ogra_, it's OK. I cant fix all bugs instantly, but I cant ship something I can not test. | 14:39 |
| ogra_ | i.e. take a look at https://github.com/3v1n0/telegram-snap/blob/master/snapcraft.yaml ... that doesnt use a single deb for building its binary | 14:39 |
| ogra_ | well, phoenix_firebrd_ can test for you :) | 14:39 |
| juliank | Well, intel-vaapi-driver is in universe and not supported :) | 14:39 |
| juliank | I guess | 14:39 |
| ogra_ | and there is forum.snapcraft.io with 100s of users that will happily help testing if you file a request | 14:40 |
| juliank | ogra_: they do | 14:40 |
| ogra_ | yeah | 14:40 |
| juliank | ogra_: there are some build-packages in there | 14:40 |
| juliank | for example, - libappindicator3-dev | 14:40 |
| ogra_ | yeah, indeed ... | 14:40 |
| ogra_ | they wouldnt need to though :) | 14:40 |
| ogra_ | my point is that snaps allow you an actual archlinux approach (build everything from upstream) without being bound to any distro release ... isf you actually want | 14:41 |
| ogra_ | *if | 14:41 |
| Mirv | thresh: it's just likely that Ubuntu won't have timely va api driver updates until 2020 at least, since 18.04 LTS is about to be wrapped and its HWE enablement does not include the drivers, and the drivers are only community maintained at the moment. so the choice is of course free, but vlc snap users would be happier with hw acceleration naturally in the coming years. | 14:42 |
| === phoenix_firebrd_ is now known as phoenix_firebrd | ||
| thresh | So maybe they should be maintained by a company, then. | 14:42 |
| Mirv | with 18.04 as the basis for snap build in half a year would bump of course hw acceleration support momentarily, but then it would start to lag soon until 20.04 LTS | 14:42 |
| thresh | It's a basic hardware feature these days, it's not 2005 anymore where we could get away with CPU. | 14:43 |
| juliank | of course you can get away with CPU :D | 14:43 |
| juliank | That's what the browsers do | 14:43 |
| Mirv | thresh: yes, it would be ideal, but as said it's not happening until 2020 at the current rate, so pragmatically speaking users will get a bit subpar experience - although as noted, it will get better when 18.04 LTS can be used as a base until again new CPUs come out | 14:43 |
| thresh | I understand that. | 14:43 |
| ogra_ | well, i'm running 16.04 on a kabylake here ... i cant get vaapi at all on the normal distro ... the vlc 3.0 snap helps a lot here | 14:43 |
| juliank | ogra_: how? | 14:44 |
| ogra_ | (i cant enable vaapi witrh the deb but it works well with the 3.0 snap) | 14:44 |
| juliank | that's odd | 14:44 |
| Mirv | I've manually upgraded to 1.8.2 on my 16.04 LTS to get a bit fresher experience | 14:44 |
| ogra_ | juliank, by switching to it in the vlc settings | 14:44 |
| juliank | ogra_: I meant, why can't you get that in the deb? The vaapi driver in the snap is the same | 14:44 |
| ogra_ | juliank, "basic" vaapi works fine, i think it is just vp9 thats not working | 14:45 |
| Mirv | ogra_: weird though, since the vlc 3.0 snap has the original 16.04 1.7 va-api drivers | 14:45 |
| Mirv | I don't think that can have kaby lake support for about anything | 14:45 |
| ogra_ | Mirv, that i could never get to work right on any of my machines from the archive | 14:45 |
| juliank | Mirv: I don't think anybody is preventing anyone from doing the work in 18.04 (or 16.04) and doing a intel-vaapi-driver-hwe package. | 14:45 |
| juliank | right? | 14:46 |
| juliank | or intel-vaapi-driver-community-hwe, whatever | 14:46 |
| Mirv | ogra_: juliank: ah, funny, the 1.7.0 from 15 Mar 2016 did actually add the very first kaby lake support - quite early! | 14:46 |
| thresh | juliank, browsers are exactly the opposite of what I could ever call a sane thing :) | 14:47 |
| Mirv | so aside from being buggy and lacking codec support, it's actually supported there, only coffeelake isn't | 14:47 |
| juliank | All I want is vaapi support in chrome | 14:47 |
| juliank | and proper mpv windows | 14:47 |

| ogra_ | juliank, Mirv https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/M8gyv4jDrc/ | 14:47 |
| Mirv | juliank: well, feature freeze for one prevents such a landing in 18.04, and adding such after a release is done is maybe unlikely with any process | 14:47 |
| Mirv | so hence my "probably 2020" | 14:48 |
| ogra_ | (just streaming Tv frm my kodi box though ... no fancy codecs or anything) | 14:48 |
| Mirv | ogra_: nice! I upgraded to get some VP9 10-bit decoding functional | 14:49 |
| ogra_ | probably the log lies ... but the CPU utilization is definitely less than with the vlc deb | 14:49 |
| juliank | I switched from vlc to mpv some time ago | 14:50 |

| Mirv | ogra_: right, the original VLC xenial version compiled with only VDPAU, not VAAPI support, even if the va-api drivers would have been recent enough | 14:52 |

| juliank | Basically the same on my Debian machine - it runs testing. | 14:56 |

| juliank | ogra_: I have not used unity a lot. | 14:58 |
| ogra_ | i did since day one | 14:59 |
| juliank | I think my laptops all ran Debian with GNOME during the unity time | 14:59 |
| juliank | *Debian unstable | 14:59 |
| ogra_ | to have gnome close to it regarding my use cases i have to install a gazillion of extensions that eat so much ram that it isnt worth it anymore | 14:59 |
| juliank | I used GNOME 3 from before it was stable IIRC | 15:00 |
| ogra_ | yeah, if you like the usability of it i guess you are fine | 15:00 |
| juliank | I think I started around 2.31 or so | 15:01 |
| ogra_ | i cant really get along with a lot there | 15:01 |
| ginggs | ogra_: this is probably the wrong channel, but i herd you like unity :) I have 2 machines running still unity on 18.04, they suspend after 20 minutes if nobody is logged in, they didn't do this on 17.10. any ideas? | 15:01 |
| juliank | ginggs: sounds like a bug was fixed? ;) | 15:01 |
| ogra_ | ginggs, heh, no idea ... i'm actually sticking to 16.04 here | 15:01 |
| ogra_ | but yeah perhaps -desktop would be the better channel | 15:01 |
| ogra_ | (unless there is actually a unity dedicated channel somewhere) | 15:02 |
| juliank | ginggs: 20 mins is the default suspend time out for gnome-power-$thingy | 15:02 |
| juliank | Is that running? | 15:02 |
| juliank | for the greeter | 15:02 |
| ginggs | juliank: i can change that for a logged in user, but don't know how to change it for the greeter | 15:02 |
| juliank | oh, ok | 15:03 |
| juliank | you can | 15:03 |
| juliank | like sudo to the greeter user and change it there with gsettings tool | 15:03 |
| juliank | Although I think there are drop-in keyfiles too? | 15:03 |
| * juliank not sure | 15:03 | |
| juliank | ginggs: are you using gdm? | 15:04 |
| ginggs | juliank: looks like lightdm | 15:04 |
| juliank | ok | 15:04 |
| juliank | but I guess the idea is the same | 15:05 |
| ginggs | juliank: thanks, i will try sudo to the greeter user | 15:05 |
| juliank | sudo to its user and run gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power sleep-inactive-ac-type 'nothing' | 15:05 |

| tsimonq2 | sunweaver: seeded-in-ubuntu :) | 18:50 |
| sunweaver | ...means what? | 18:50 |
| tsimonq2 | sunweaver: Otherwise, try #ubuntu-desktop | 18:50 |

| tsimonq2 | Right. | 18:55 |
| sunweaver | it is not seeded... | 18:55 |

| sunweaver | is it part of a Unity7 installation? | 18:56 |
| jbicha | sunweaver: yes (I find reverse-depends to be a more useful tool here) | 18:58 |
| jbicha | yes, it's installed by the Unity metapackage | 18:58 |
