jibeldidrocks, hi, I'm reviewing bug 1778697. How do you set apport to never report report errors from g-c-c?07:21
ubot5bug 1778697 in update-notifier (Ubuntu Bionic) "update-notifier always present apport-gtk UI on crashes, even on autoreport mode" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/177869707:21
jibeldidrocks, in privacy I've auto or manual07:22
seb128https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/1:3.28.1-0ubuntu1.18.04.207:23
didrocksjibel: that should be in the g-c-c sru, you should have a secondary dialog with an option box and checkbox, you don't see this?07:29
didrockshey seb12807:29
jibeldidrocks, well, I tried update-notifier alone, there is no mention of it depending on the newer version of g-c-c07:29
jibeldidrocks, also when set to manual with current version of g-c-c I don't get any dialog and the crash is not uploaded automatically07:30
didrocksjibel: ah, right, I was assuming newer g-c-c would be released in -updates already as I've uploaded it some time ago07:30
didrocksjibel: well, you know about crash not being uploaded with what we found on Thursday…07:30
didrockswhich will be in newer apport07:30
didrocksso, unfortunately, we can also check the status right now, as the existing API is lying07:31
seb128lut didrocks07:31
seb128'can't?07:31
seb128didrocks, g-c-c is 6 days old on the SRU page so I guess it's going to be aged enough only today, also it's not verified yet07:32
didrocksseb128: no, we can check the status reported by whoopsie API07:33
didrocksisntead of automatically reporting bugs07:33
didrocksthe status will say that it's set to automatically upload even if it won't do it07:34
didrocksg-c-c has been uploaded way more than 6 days ago, that's why I didn't track if it was releasde or not in -ugdates07:34
didrocksupdates*07:34
seb128ah, I see07:34
seb128delay to have it reviewed/accepted07:34
didrocksyeah07:34
seb128also nevermind the +not comment, the syntax construction was looking weird to me "unfortunatly, we can, as the it's lying"07:35
seb128the unfortatly and lying bits made it sounds like the middle part should be negactive as well07:36
didrocksyeahn, sorry, I'm doing 2 things at the same time, looking at why apport autopkgtests are failing when passing locally…07:36
jibeldidrocks, there is something weird going on with g-c-c from proposed07:36
didrocksthis whole stack is a PITA :/07:36
seb128shame that you touched it enough to be the new maintainer :p07:36
* seb128 hides07:36
didrocksclearly not07:37
didrocksI would just rewrite the whole 3 things in one if that was the case :p07:37
seb128haha07:37
jibeldidrocks, set reporting to auto, close the dialog and minimize g-c-c, generate a crash (sh -c 'kill -SEGV $$'), restore g-c-c, reporting is set to never07:37
didrocksjibel: this isn't related to the crash, but whoopsie give an invalid signal to g-c-c before stopping07:38
didrocksif you just close g-c-c07:38
didrocks(without keeping it on that page)07:38
didrocksrestart it07:38
didrocksit will always reflect the correct value07:38
didrocksbut whoopse-preferences is a activated dbus service07:38
didrockswhich close on idle07:38
didrocksin a minute07:38
didrocksand send this invalid signal before shutting down07:38
didrocksthat's next to fix on my list :/07:39
ricotzhi :), is there some hold up in processing gnome stable updates?07:39
didrocksjibel: most of users will just tweaks the options, close the window anyway, so, shouldn't be noticeable07:40
seb128hey ricotz, doesn't look like it, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+queue?queue_state=1&queue_text=gnome ?07:42
ricotzI am wondering because vala is still at 0.40.4 (latest 0.40.7), an update is also wanted for bionic, while it is synced from debian I already tried to ask there07:42
seb128ricotz, do you have a specific one in mind?07:42
didrocksRan 29 tests in 81.807s07:42
didrocksOK07:42
didrocks:/07:42
didrocksin a vm…07:43
ricotzseb128, hi :), "hold up" as in not picking up upstream releases07:43
seb128ricotz, same old lack of resources/help needed, if you are interested why not contributing that SRU?07:43
ricotzseb128, I am kind of busy with other things and vala upstream itself, and my membership request for gnome on debian salsa wasn't processed07:45
seb128ricotz, k, well I guess welcome to the club :)07:45
ricotzI see, j_bicha was picking them up pretty fast, I guess he is taking some break07:46
seb128yeah, he has not been around recently07:46
ricotzok07:46
seb128and none of us has the free cycles to work on those updates07:46
seb128especially the ones which don't have specific reported issues our customers/users are asking to see resolved07:46
ricotztoolchain updates are kind of important ;)07:47
seb128vala typically is not really user facing07:47
jibeldidrocks, another issue, I've reporting set to never and got a crash dialog07:47
seb128yes, they are, as is other work07:47
seb128ricotz, sorry, I just don't have a good answer for you, we have too much to do and not enough people07:48
ricotzseb128, ok, I see that07:48
ricotzwill have to try more on the debian side first anyway07:49
ricotzseb128, thanks07:49
seb128yw!07:49
didrocksjibel: with latest update-notifier?07:50
jibeldidrocks, yes07:51
didrocksah, that one is more annoying…07:51
didrocksI've tested is a lot on Friday07:51
didrocksit*07:51
didrocksand didn't get into that situation07:51
didrocksso, when you have g-c-c, set to never report crash, install the new update-notifier, ensure that version is running (logout/login)07:52
didrocksyou still get an UI?07:52
jibeldidrocks, I killed u-n and started it manually07:53
didrocks:( I did try this more than once before uploading u-n :/07:53
didrocksthe auto use-case is fixed by apport07:54
didrocksthe never use-case is fixed by u-n07:54
jibeldidrocks, I'll approve g-c-c because it's behaving correctly and whoopsie is stopped/started according to the reporting mode.07:55
willcookemorning07:56

LaneyLocutusOfBorg: thx for sponsoring gtk - can you make sure that the branches are updated please?08:22
* didrocks understands now the apport autopkgtests failure08:35
didrocksand why it's passing locally08:35
didrocksso, basically, I have to really acknoledge this time that you can't disable apport if you don't have whoopsie installed08:35
didrocks(which was already the case, disabling apport was made by a whoopsie configuration file)08:35
didrocks(that whoopsie wasn't even creating/reading…) :/08:35
didrocksand you was setting apport to "never" but whoopsie was still uploading your traces (and automatically)08:36
didrocksI guess this is ok, let me try then to ack that, people can still disable apport anyway without whoopsie install by uninstalling it08:37
didrocksseb128: making sense to you? ^08:37
didrocksseb128: that can be summarized as https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~didrocks/apport/whoopsie-auto-ui/revision/3208 (see commit message as well)08:47
* didrocks tests that in autopkgtests suite now08:47
didrocks(which doesn't have whoopsie installed, that's why it was passing locally)08:48
seb128didrocks, reading08:48
seb128wfm08:49
didrockslet me confirm that autopkgtests pass with it :)08:49
didrocksI'll do a followup upload08:49
didrocksmeanwhile j_ibel found the issue in u-n (grrrr crash report spawing after 5 minutes or more… I probably haven't waited enough in the "never" case :/)08:50

Trevinhodamn...08:57
TrevinhoI've also a cold :-(08:57
Trevinhonow it's 30ish08:58
seb128blocked nosed at first and it turned into caughing this w.e which made my night a bit difficult08:58
didrocksget better before you come to GUADEC! :)08:58
seb128should be fine by then08:58

seb128hehe08:59
didrocksapport 2.20.10-0ubuntu5 uploaded09:01
seb128\o/09:02
didrockshoping that one will pass proposed, once there, we can envision SRUing09:02
didrocksj_ibel confirms the u-n scheduler is weird, sometimes you get a crash and nothing happens even after 8 minutes…09:05
didrocksso I guess that's why my tests were skewed, he found the issue (no absolute path to call systemctl)09:05
didrocksI don't think it's worth fixing update-notifier scheduler (which seems stuck in some cases) as we'll move in cosmic to systemd user session hopefully?09:06
seb128I'm not sure to understand what bit is buggy and why09:06
seb128no absolute path means it fails to find the command?09:06
seb128then it shouldn't work at all?09:06
didrocksright, but it's a call to systemctl09:07
didrocksto check if the service is up or not09:07
seb128that sounds like worth fixing in the LTS, it's a nicer experience if you get the report dialog without delay09:08
didrockshum09:08
didrocksno, we didn't find a fix for that09:08
seb128that doesn't need to be you fixing it though09:08
seb128just report it and give me the bug number09:08
didrocksjust so that "never" really works (fixing the previous patch)09:08
didrocksok09:08
seb128thx09:08
didrocksby default, there is a 3 minutes delay09:08
didrocks(from the start)09:08
didrocksI guess to accumulate the "crashes" dialog if multiple happens09:08
seb128that's to not load the system on login?09:08
didrocksmaybe… but it's still the case way even after the first 3 minutes09:09
didrocksbasically, the whole concept of "show the crash dialog" immediately to explain why something doesn't work was never behaving like that :p09:09
seb128that stack could really do with a good review/bug fixing round09:10
didrocksclearly09:10
didrockstoo many projects interleaving09:10
seb128I'm going to have a look to those 3 minutes thing09:10
didrocksupdate-notifier/apport/whoopsie/whoopsie-preferences09:10
seb128that must have been done for a reason09:10
didrocksseb128: changing the timer will be easy, the issue is that sometimes, it's stuck and miss the window09:10
didrocksand you have to create a new inotify in /var/crash to "unstuck" it09:10
seb128let's get that reported and the foundations list09:11
didrocks(which was why I thought my patch was working)09:11
didrocksyes09:11
jibeldidrocks, i'll file the bug09:12
