mattflyinstalling nvidia drivers = no more hibernation to me (aka s2disk hangs while trying to hibernate)00:31

tarzeaui'm not sure, if i'm right here: we run ubuntu for linux workstations, and we manage them centrally, users has no installed: network-manager, nor gnome-software store, nor aptdeamon gui update manager09:52
tarzeauyet we want them be able to set background image, i.e have gnome-control-center installed (which has depends on the three things mentioned above)09:53
tarzeauwhat worked for us is: rebuild gnome-control-center with the depends ripped away. i'm not sure if that'd be useful for others too09:53
tarzeauin numbers: 33 bionic, 142 xenial machines (and another 10 trusty)09:54

jpleautarzeau: nice to know it works, I was wondering doing that myself for my own machine (disabling dependencies I will never use like network-manager and friends so I can uninstall them)15:36
ScottEI came across an interesting gcc regression that can result in corrupt pointers when code is compiled with -O2. Reproducable on xenial and bionic (and likely other versions). Simple testcase attached here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-7/+bug/177067615:56
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1770676 in gcc-7 (Ubuntu) "gcc optimizer bug" [Undecided,New]15:56
rbasakScottE: interesting. Though that could be an issue in libc rather than gcc.16:01
rbasak(depending on how it's defined)16:03
ScottEIt could be, except that it only occurs when compiling the testcase with -O2 - libc would be the same in either case? Hard to say though, sometimes these sort of issues happen in a different place than where the symptom is.16:03
rbasaklibc could be depending on undefined behaviour.16:03
rbasakI'm not familiar enough with the many levels of indirection libc function definitions go through to be able to tell quickly.16:04
ScottEIt could be, although on xenial, if I reproduce the original issue I was chasing (with cronolog), it doesn't surface with the cronolog binary in xenial until I recompile cronolog. Still not definitive, though...16:04
ScottEI'll add the cronolog testcase to that bug, too - it's easy to reproduce there too16:05

jbichadoko: could you merge ilmbase? it's needed by openexr18:41
jbichadoko: maybe a compromise with Debian would be to only use a symbols file for amd64 where it's more easily maintained?18:41
dokojbicha: ilmbase belongs to the desktop team. and no, dropping the symbols file would invalidate the constraints for being in main18:59
jbichadoko: could Foundations please take ilmbase? it's only in main because of imagemagick (via openexr) which is Foundations19:03
jbichaI didn't say drop the symbols file, I said only use it on amd64. Wouldn't that be sufficient to tell if there was an API break?19:04
jbichaI imagine there's several C++ libraries in main that don't use symbols files19:04
jbichasymbols files aren't mentioned as a strict requirement at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements19:13
jbichaso how about I just sync ilmbase now to fix openexr and you can deal with symbols files later if it's important enough to you?19:14
dokojbicha: absolutely no. please properly merge20:07
dokojbicha: "I imagine there's several C++ libraries in main": sorry, I don't think your imaginations are relevant for main inclusion. and I hate your exaggerations and unprecise statements, like "hundreds of runtime failures for missing dependencies".  this is a technical channel, not an advocating channel20:09
jbichait sounds like you're referring to Debian bug 893755 now. I think it was a correct statement at the time since your change broke glib for instance20:59
