mr_louThis bug was never fixed, but was closed anyway. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/173767104:50
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1737671 in linux (Ubuntu) "Blu-ray burner no longer detected" [Medium,Expired]04:50
mr_louAm I the only one in the world in need of a working burner?04:50
valoriemr_lou: it says expired04:54
valoriegive fresh info and it will reopen, afaik04:54
valorieI burn DVDs at festivals and such to give away ISOs04:55
valorieI don't have a blu-ray drive thought04:55
valoriejust a USB one04:55
mr_louvalorie, There was another dude replying that he had the problem with his DVD burner too.05:00
mr_louBut obviously not many people use burners these days, so replies will be scarce.05:00
mr_louvalorie, What burner app do you use?05:02
mr_louI use ImgBurn via Wine, because that's the only option I have for burning Blu-ray discs (needs UDF 2.5 which Ubuntu doesn't have).05:02
valorieI use k3b05:04
valoriea bit old, but it still works05:04
valorieno clue if it will do blu-ray05:04
mr_louI won't.05:05
mr_louUbuntu doesn't have UDF 2.505:05
mr_lou*It won't05:06
mr_louk3b does seem to detect the drive. But doesn't give me Blu-ray options of course.05:07
mr_louBut I find it odd that kernel 97 lets ImgBurn detect the burner, and all following kernels doesn't.05:07
mr_louAlso tried with wodim and those. Also lets me burn "standard" stuff - but doesn't recognize a Blu-ray disc (of 25 gb). So trying to burn a blu-ray, wodim (and those) complains there's not enough room, which of course there is.05:08
mr_louAdded more info. Still expired though.05:12
valorieyou might mention the bug number05:25
valorieperhaps you will catch the interest of a devel who can fix it05:26
valorieof course what is really wanted is a thorough analysis and a patch05:26
mr_louGotta go to work.05:35

GunnarHjcjwatson, wgrant: What's the time frame for upgrading gettext? Doing so was the conclusion from the discussion we had last week with seb128 about bug #1756547.10:08
ubottubug 1756547 in Ubuntu Translations "LP refuses to import plural strings where e.g. msgstr[0] entries in PO file miss %d" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/175654710:08
wgrantGunnarHj: Not this month unless there's no reasonable workaround. I thought we'd discussed removing the JS declaration?10:09
wgrantWe can upgrade gettext if we really can't drop the JS declaration, but that's a lot easier.10:09
sunweaveroh well... I just dput ayatana-indicator-power without option from a bionic chroot to $UBUNTU10:09
sunweaverand I wanted to dput it to my personal PPA instead...10:09
GunnarHjwgrant: Yes, we discussed that as a plan B. Seb and I hoped for plan A. :)10:10
sunweaverin case anyone sees the upload, it should be REJECTed.10:10
GunnarHjwgrant: Please note that even if the bug is about one specific package, this is a general problem. gettext got more permissive, and translators upstream have started to make use of that possibility.10:11
wgrantsunweaver: 2018-04-06 10:06:10 INFO        GPG verification of /srv/launchpad.net/ubuntu-queue/incoming/upload-ftp-20180406-100554-003557/ubuntu/ayatana-indicator-power_2.0.93-2~ppa1_source.changes failed: Verification failed 3 times: ["(7, 58, u'No data')", "(7, 58, u'No data')", "(7, 58, u'No data')"]10:12
wgrantsunweaver: It wasn't signed, so was summarily rejected :)10:12
wgrantGunnarHj: I'm somewhat reluctant to do a major gettext upgrade on LP without thorough QA this late in an LTS cycle, but it's possible.10:13
GunnarHjwgrant: I can't tell anything about the risks. But I understand that translators and users in the affected countries are not impressed.10:15
GunnarHjwgrant: One way might be to try the workaround for one package to confirm that it works. As a base for decision.10:18
GunnarHjseb128: I'm talking with wgrant about the gettext upgrade. Can we try the workaround for gnome-shell to check that it works as a base for decision? wgrant stresses that there are risks with upgrading gettext this late.10:21
wgrantGunnarHj: We can do the gettext upgrade if we need to, but if it's just one or two packages affected I'd vastly prefer that their templates be revised.10:22
wgrantMuch lower risk for regression.10:23
wgrantThe gettext diff between xenial and bionic is one hundred and fifty thousand lines10:24
GunnarHjwgrant: But it used at runtime...10:25
GunnarHjwgrant: But let's try out the workaround, and try to figure out which packages are most affected.10:28
wgrantGunnarHj: The gettext upgrade would certainly unblock gnome-shell, but given the size of the diff I can in no way be confident it won't block unrelated other packages in bionic or other series. I've only seen the javascript format outdatedness be an issue in gnome-shell, so I'm reluctant to risk the other 29124 packages in bionic based on that, but if the workaround isn't trivial and there are other10:31
wgrantpackages affected then I can dig in more depth.10:31
seb128GunnarHj, it should be possible to override_dh_translations in debian/rules and sed away the javascript comments from the pot10:34
seb128unsure how wrong that is though if the code is javascript10:34
seb128and if that can create other issues10:34
wgrantIt's easy enough to validate a POT against xenial's gettext (hi LXD)10:36
wgrantIt's the first time I've run into the JS attribute, but I suppose their may be others.10:37
sunweaverwgrant: thanks10:38
seb128wgrant, right, validating is one think, knowing that the result is the one expect is another10:38
seb128I've no clue what it change to have that format clue or not10:38
wgrantI've never seen that cause trouble before, but it's possible.10:38
seb128GunnarHj, well seems that safer approach would be probably at this point to sed those away from the debian/rules10:42
seb128as it trying to do that and see what's the result10:42
GunnarHjseb128: Ok. I'll fix a gnome-shell patch later today or Monday to start with.10:55
juliankI see a weird test suite failure with apt in docker's ubuntu:bionic12:55
juliankWe create a temporary package with a changelog, and isntall it12:56
juliank(in a different, temporary, rootdir)12:56
juliankbut there's no changelog in ithe installed package apparently12:57
juliankon my own bionic system it works just fine12:57
juliankfor example, https://travis-ci.org/julian-klode/apt/jobs/36308099612:57
juliank(APT falls back to HTTP, and thus fails the test)12:57
juliankI just thought that maybe the docker image ships a dpkg.cfg.d snippet that disables changelog installing?13:00
juliankI'm not sure if APT's test suite protects against dpkg.cfg files13:00
julianklet's check, I guess.13:02

tjaaltonahasenack: halp. I need sssd 1.16.1 for freeipa :P18:16
ahasenackbecause of a bug fix?18:17
tjaaltonno, 4.7-pre1 needs it, and that's needed for sqlite nssdb support et al :/18:18
tjaaltonbut, 1.16.1 really is worth it18:19
tjaaltonit's been on debian testing for some weeks, it works18:20
ahasenackI'm not against it. It feels like you have more reasons for an FFe than I do18:20
ahasenackyou are a core dev, much easier for you to do it than I :)18:21
ahasenackbrb18:21
tjaaltonsure18:21
ahasenackback18:28
ahasenacktjaalton: you still prefer the newer freeipa version as opposed to revert the previous one, which didn't need nssdb?18:30
ahasenacker, nss-pem18:30
tjaaltonwe have nss-pem, and would need to go to 4.518:31
tjaaltoneven 4.6 doesn't work with current dogtag & certmonger which are needed to support sqlite nssdb's etc18:32
ahasenackwhere is nss-pem? I don't see it in bionic18:32
tjaaltonlibnsspem18:32
ahasenackI see, new in bionic18:32
ahasenackyou got that in recently?18:32
tjaaltonyes18:32
ahasenackit doesn't exist in debian yet, right18:33

bdmurrayjbicha: Do you know if libwhoopsie-preferences is used anymore in gnome-control-center?18:33
jbichabdmurray: yes, it's used in Privacy > Problem Reporting18:35
jbichathat's new in 17.10, we used to just use activity-log-manager for that UI18:36
bdmurrayjbicha: okay, but the metrics stuff is not being used right?18:36
jbichayou mean being able to see old reports sent from your computer? that wasn't implemented in GNOME18:37
bdmurrayjbicha: No I mean in 16.04 there used to be a toggle to "Send occasional system information to Canonical" and I don't see that anymore.18:39
bdmurrayjbicha: Which makes sense because it didn't do anything...18:39
jbichaoh18:41
jbichapresumably we need to have a knob for something like that in gnome-control-center to match what we will ask in gnome-initial-setup18:42
jbichabut I'm not aware of anyone working on that, might not happen for 18.04's release18:42
bdmurraybut that wouldn't use whoopsie correct?18:42
jbichaum, ubuntu-report I guess (and its included sysmetrics library)18:44
kaspernacc, thanks for the update! :)19:03
nacckasper: yw!19:03
kaspernacc, would it be available in official bionic repo right away once the decision is made by bionic-proposed folks?19:05
nacckasper: right, we're in freeze right now, so it has to be accepted, which it should be as a bugfix19:05
nacckasper: but presuming that is the case, it will go in to bionic release. Worst case, bionic-updates19:05
kaspernacc, hopefully they will recognize the upstream bug and accept it (forgoing the late report)19:07
slangaseknacc: so I was looking at whether to merge new upstream cryptsetup from Debian; MoM made a hash of it because we had a -0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu for a previous upstream version; so I took a look at using git-ubuntu instead and it leaves me the entire upstream diff to be sifted through as part of the rebase.  Any hints?19:15
naccslangasek: looking19:16
slangasekdoesn't seem like it should be a manual thing to piece through which bits of the diff are part of the new upstream tarball and which not19:16
naccslangasek: right, we could improve that, in theory19:16
naccwe don't special-case a new upstream version at all19:17
naccso to git-ubuntu, it's just a huge delta added19:17
nacc(well, to git, via git-ubuntu)19:17
naccwe would need to do some in-repo tree creation to figure out what is in the orig tarball that is used, etc. but it's doable19:17
slangasekyeah; if I have to manually reconcile the diff against the upstream tarball, that's basically no different than what I'd already be doing with MoM19:18
naccright, it's also ... phrased a bit funny19:18
naccit was a merge, but only sort of19:19
nacc(2:2.0.1-0ubuntu1)19:19
naccsince there is no merge target there, really19:19
naccslangasek: it's certainly a gap, i'd need to think about it a bit to decide what should be done19:20
naccnow, you *could* do some git-foo locally to help out, i suppose19:20
naccslangasek: like save your current state19:21
naccgo back to the old/debian19:21
naccupdate the orig tarball contents only19:21
nacctag that tree/commit19:21
naccrebase onto it19:21
naccI *believe* git will handle that 'ok', since the tree-wise contents of your 'current state' and the 'orig state' should hash out for all files19:22
naccslangasek: but yeah, we're not better than MoM here, you're right; please file a bug19:23
slangaseknacc: also, if I diff against pkg/upstream/debian/2.0.1.gz it doesn't match, so that's fun19:32
naccslangasek: i would diff against pkg/upstream/ubuntu/2.0.1.gz19:33
naccslangasek: given that it's an ubuntu upload?19:33
naccslangasek: but i'd need to investigate manually to help debug why it doesn't match, if it doesn't19:33
slangaseknacc: no such tag19:33
slangasekI looked for that first19:33
naccslangasek: hrm19:33
naccslangasek: i need to go afk for a bit, but i can try and look in the afternoon19:35
naccslangasek: it's possible that, since we import debian first, the debian tarball did end up matching19:36
slangaseknacc: sure.  anyway, LP: #176185319:36

naccslangasek: thanks19:37
slangaseknacc: and it looks like the pkg/upstream/debian/2.0.1.gz tag may be missing all the autotools autogenerated files... not sure what to make of that19:39
slangaseknacc: it's possible that's an indicator the Debian tar.gz did not match the Ubuntu one19:40
naccslangasek: right, i'll dig into it19:41
kaspernacc, does '(Accepted)' mean it is through already: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/bionic-changes/2018-April/013233.html ?20:27
nacckasper: no, you'll see it in the bug when the fix is through20:34
nacckasper: it's currently in bionic-proposed20:34
naccslangasek: ok, yeah ther's something wonky with the import, i'm running it manually20:35
naccslangasek: the ubuntu upload was 2.0.1.orig.tar.xz20:36
slangasekah20:36
naccwhile debian is 2.0.1.orig.tar.gz20:36
naccso they definitely wouldn't match20:36
slangasekright20:36
naccbut we support that, so i need to reproduce to find out why20:36
slangasekand indeed the Debian one is generated without any of the autotools bits20:36
naccright -- i'll dig intoi the pristine-tar stuff ater my 1x120:36
naccand in fact git ubuntu export-orig notices this and complains and then falls back to pull-lp-source behavior20:38

kaspernacc, just trying to understand Ubuntu's process during the freeze; is there anything criteria like 'when X number of bionic-proposed testers will say yay', then the fix gets released? Or is there a committee/shiproom that makes the final call?21:29
kaspers/anything/any21:29
nacckasper: bugfixes generally are always allowed in, but when ISOs are being spun, etc, some things are held off (aiui) if they affect the ISO contents21:30
nacckasper: we are in a state now, where uploads to seeded things (llvm being one of them) need to be manually accepted21:30
sarnold-proposed in the devel releases is discouraged for manual testing; autopkgtests migrate packages out of -proposed as they pass tests21:31
nacckasper: in this case, it was, so it just needs to migrate https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/llvm-toolchain-6.021:31
