robert_ancelljbicha, oh, and just prompts you after you get into your desktop "updates are available" and they can then install automatically00:00
robert_ancellinstall immediately I should have said00:00
jbichaI'd like to propose that we add one more checkbox to actually install those updates since I think that's what a lot of people expect00:00
robert_ancellYeah, I expected that...00:00
jbichaor just change the wording and do it00:00
robert_ancellIn this particular case, the bug is probably not a problem (it's only a crash on shutdown)00:01
jbichathe counter-argument is that apparently it can make the install take a rather long time once a release has been out for several months00:01
robert_ancellI don't know of any other package that gets updated on install, so it's probably a new feature that would need adding.00:01
robert_ancelljbicha, "snap it" is probably the answer :)00:02
jbichanew feature: which means it wouldn't happen until 18.04.1 anyway! :|00:02
robert_ancellindeed00:03
robert_ancellI think the .1 is release is where you'll get the majority of users, so it's not a big issue to wait.00:04
jbicharobert_ancell: btw, we got approval for the chose fix, not sure how to handle that smoothly with translations00:05

seb128good morning desktopers06:41
dufluMorning seb12806:51
seb128hey duflu, how are you?06:51
dufluseb128, going OK... you?06:51
dufluIn Berlin?06:51
seb128I'm good thanks, yes in Berlin06:52
dufluICE FTW06:52
seb128indeed!06:53
seb128travel was nice06:54
seb128duflu, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1768012 ... do you think it could be a kernel issue? it's Sergio who has the issue and the touch screen seem to work fine mostly, the bug seems rather in g-s touch events handling06:59
ubot5Launchpad bug 1768012 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Long pressing using a touch screen stays sticky" [Undecided,Incomplete]06:59
dufluseb128, I will try some other touchscreens this week. But it is slightly suspicious to be running a custom "surface" kernel07:03
dufluGuess the manufactureer07:03

willcookeseb128, duflu re: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/175125207:04
ubot5Launchpad bug 1751252 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Bionic) "ubiquity crashed in debconf.py:104 with ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''" [High,Triaged]07:04
willcookeSo do we thinkthat's a glib bug?07:04
dufluwillcooke, No idea. The two crashes are seconds apart07:05
dufluBut always in order07:05
dufluwillcooke, actually in person you can see in advance it is going to crash. The installer splash is plain black07:06
dufluIt's not that we never tested bionic on the affected machines, only that the ubiquity regression occurred more recently07:07
dufluBecause it used to work07:07
dufluOr glib regression07:07
seb128duflu, can you reproduce on that machine? can you see if ubiquity hits an XError for you like on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1767720 ?07:08
ubot5Launchpad bug 1767720 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Ubiquity crashed during install of 18.04 with error 'BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)'" [Critical,Incomplete]07:08
dufluseb128, I was going to try and fix the zoom issue first because I at least know that code (and the language). But yes I will check the ubiquity crash again now07:10
seb128duflu, thanks07:10
dufluseb128, yes. Bug 1751252 is also BadAccess with the same X error. It's highly unlikely they are different bugs07:28
ubot5bug 1751252 in ubiquity (Ubuntu Bionic) "ubiquity crashed in debconf.py:104 with ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ''" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/175125207:28
seb128duflu, good, do you think you are able to the bt with gtk/libx11 dbgsym installed?07:29
dufluseb128, not sure. For starters X errors are always delayed. Will have to force it to synchronous mode and retry.07:29
seb128duflu, right, see my comment on that bug07:30
seb128duflu, but basically need to exportGDK_SYNCHRONIZE=107:30
seb128then gdb --args /usr/bin/python3 /usr/lib/ubiquity/bin/ubiquity gtk_ui07:31
dufluInteresting this is always on specific machines...07:31
dufluseb128, also worth noting a bunch of manual bug reports to ubquitiy the past few days report "installer crashed" but we seem to not attach sufficient logs07:36
seb128right07:37
seb128it's always tricky07:37
dufluJust the journal would help07:38
seb128i/o errors on usb stick are also common07:38
seb128like some of the snaps reports on e.u.c which are having a few hundred reports a week are squashfs read errors, which are likely corrupted image/read error from the device being used07:39
seb128sometimes segfaults are also a side result of a corrupted image/faulty key07:39
dufluseb128, I thought of that. The same key works on other machines even after failing on the unlucky one07:43
seb128well if some people can reproduce on some configs there is probably something in the machine configuration that confuses ubiquity, e.g a real bug07:44
seb128we just don't have enough info atm to be able to figure out what exactly that is07:44
seb128maybe a sync/debug bt is going to tell us more07:44
seb128duflu, hum, "log_domain=0x7f5a7365304e <_gdk_wayland_display_utf8_to_string_target+270>", why are we getting wayland mentioned there?07:54
dufluNot sure. More comments in a minute07:58
=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
dufluseb128, OK, I have documented a workaround in the bug. Install complete08:09
dufluNo let's see if I can get a synchronous python stack too08:10
willcooke_ahhhh, nicely deduced duflu08:10
seb128duflu, good finding!08:13
seb128there is webkit/cairo calls in that bt, I wonder if something in the slideshow is trying to display something too big for the video memory or something08:14
dufluOr too small08:15
dufluStill, if anyone knows how to debug ubiquity I think we now have a test case08:16
duflu(set Scale to 200% before installing)08:16
seb128well, it sounds like the issue there is webkitgtk08:17
seb128or something the installer is doing with it08:17
seb128duflu, well done figuring that out in any case08:17
seb128duflu, do you know if there is a way to set the scaling factor from an environment variable or such?08:23
dufluseb128, not sure. Probably better to rely on the config08:24
seb128k08:24
dufluseb128, GDK_SCALE={1,2}08:24

seb128hey Laney, how is sunny u.k today?08:48

ahayzenHey, i had an issue where i login with user A, then logout and try to login with user B - it results in a purple display with the mouse (switching tty back to 1 then doing the login again works). I wanted to check if this story is covered by bug 1765261 and bug 1766137 or wht10:03

ahayzen*or whether i should report another bug10:03
ahayzenas there were a few different user stories in those bugs10:04
seb128Laney, do you know how I can set a DNS server from a rescue.target env?10:04
seb128ahayzen, would be good to report a new bug upstream, they can dup if needed, but even if it's a dup it might help raise awareness10:06
Laneyseb128: resolv.conf doesn't work?10:06
seb128Laney, can't edit in /etc10:06
Laney????10:07
ahayzenseb128, ok thanks, is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/issues "upstream" is this case? or is there another place for gdm issues ?10:07
Laneythat's a symlink to /run/something if you're using resolved10:07
seb128Laney, saving the file fails with a "no such file or directory" for some reason?10:07
seb128dnsmasq  --server fails as well due to missing /etc/resolv.conf10:08
Laneyis resolved actually running?10:08
Laneysystemctl start network-online.target usually gets me online10:08
seb128it was not10:09
seb128that did it10:09
seb128thx10:09
dufluseb128, I've verified the workaround works on two machines and attached a new stack with debug info. But I think I am about to give up for the day10:09
seb128duflu, thx, it's good enough, we have a way to reproduce now so others can pick up10:10
