oSoMoNduflu, does the LP API expose bug number history?06:59
dufluoSoMoN, I don't know. I only use the Wayback Machine :)07:00
dufluIt's a tricky question to answer -- what was the net opens-minus-closes on date X07:00
duflu?07:00
dufluI wouldn't be surprised if LP had no such records07:01
oSoMoNduflu, yeah, it doesn't as far as I know, using the wayback machine is a clever way of getting that info07:05

LaneyYYYYYYEAHHHHHHHHHH!10:44
Laneycyphermox: hey, did you see that people are still reporting kbd_mode bugs?10:44
Laneythere was a console-setup sru to bionic which probably set them off (not that I've investigated)10:44
oSoMoNLaney, would you mind approving and merging https://code.launchpad.net/~osomon/britney/hints-ubuntu-libreoffice/+merge/350721 ?10:50
Laneyok10:51
oSoMoNthanks10:51
Laneywhy do we still have that problem :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((10:51
oSoMoNthe kernel team spent some time trying patches but I don't think we ever got to the bottom of it…10:53
oSoMoNLaney, once merged, do I need to do anything for the autopkgtest failure to be ignored and migration to proceed?10:54
Laneynah, it happens at the next run10:54
seb128Laney, speaking of hint can you update the udisks2 version on s390x?10:58
LaneyI thought that was going to be looked at10:59
Laneydone11:01
Laneybut I still thought that11:01
LaneyIf not, make the next upload kill the testsuite on s390x11:01
Laneyplease, or something like that11:01
seb128good point, thx (I poked a bit at it but don't remember if I said I would do a bit more of that of the outcome is that some of the things don't make sense on s390x ... I had back that in my backlog to have a look again)11:02
xnoxi agree....11:03
seb128I add back*11:03
seb128xnox, you agree with killing the testsuite on s390x?11:03
xnoxyes11:03
seb128great :)11:04
xnoxchances of people connecting usb camera to a mainframe are -111:04
Laneystill11:04
Laneyhttp://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/u/udisks2/bionic/s390x11:04
Laneywhat broke it?11:04
Laneythat's worth being concerned about imho11:04
xnoxseb128, it would be ok if it did test the dasd/zfcp/loops etc all the generic things.11:05
xnoxbut not the usb stuff, for example.11:05
xnoxlooking11:05
Laneyif things go from working to broken11:05
Laneyunderstanding why is important11:05
xnoxglibc broke it?! =)11:05
xnoxyeah looks odd / bad11:06
seb128I think the main failing test is new in 2.7 and never worked11:06

seb128the other issues are transient/flaky tests (should be addressed too yes)11:07
Laneyah nice bug11:08
seb128they milestoned for 2.8 so hopefully they get back to it11:08
xnoxwell that's just basic linux raid, i can poke things there to see what's wrong.11:09
xnoxin general linux raid should just work.11:09
seb128that would be useful11:09
seb128thx11:09

willcooke* Gnome Shell performance (what changed this week):13:35
willcooke  - Reduced input lag and cursor stutter! I wasn't looking for a lag problem but it's definitely improved now. Most noticeable inside apps (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/168)13:35
willcooke  - Wayland: Implemented proper hardware vsync (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/171). Previously Wayland sessions would blindly always render at 60.00Hz regardless of how appropriate that was for the display.13:35
willcooke  - More work in progress: Avoid frame skipping and artificially low frame rates:13:35

willcooke    . https://gitlab.gnome.org/vanvugt/mutter/commits/super-smooth-v213:35
willcooke    . Basically done for Wayland (when combined with !171 above) but Cogl's X11 backend is proving surprisingly buggy.13:35
gitlab-botGNOME issue (Merge request) 168 in mutter "clutter: Reduce input lag and cursor stutter [performance]" (comments: 19) [Performance, Opened]13:35

seb128those who want to join please do, use IRC & version and open bugs for updates so we don't duplicate work13:50
Beretdoes the desktop installer support RAID at all these days?13:50

seb128since we have git branches for quite some components now13:52
seb128haha13:52
willcooke;)13:52
kenvandineoh yeah...13:52
seb128it's documented on http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-tracking-bug-tasks.html13:52
seb128ups13:52
seb128https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/git13:52
Laneyyes, do people feel like we have a handle on the rls tracking bugs?13:52
willcookewill be nice to see if we can iron out all the git process issues13:52
LaneyI think it was considered fake news last time I raised this13:52
Laneybut...13:52
Laneyseems to me like there's things which sit there from week to week13:53
seb128I'm happy to have another look to the current list, like I did the first time that was raised13:53
seb128my gut feeling is that we have an handle on the important issues13:54
seb128but we are not that good at getting some of the things that don't look important off the list13:54
willcookeI think the list itself is in good shape.  The problem we have is when there is something that we don't know what to do about right away we skip it for a week.  We need to be better at assigning an owner who can look at it outside of the meeting when times is13:54
willcooketime isn't as pressured13:54
seb128or some of the things we keep dismissing and having to come back to13:54
Laneynot to pick on any one person13:54
Laneybut https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/175803513:54
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1758035 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu Bionic) "[regression] gnome-shell crashed with SIGTRAP in g_realloc_n() from g_log_structured()" [High,Confirmed]13:54
Laneythis is on theh list and didn't see an update for ages13:55
seb128right, it should probably be off the list13:55
Laneythis is what I'm raising13:55
Laneyif the list is things to work on13:55
seb128it's one of those which we keep skipping over because that's not really one we can act on13:55
Laneythen it should be kept that way imho13:55
seb128right & agreed13:55
seb128we should probably just be more agressive to remove those13:56
seb128and maybe create trello cards in backlog in exchange13:56
seb128the reason we have that one (and some others) still tagged is that some team members argue it's important we keep an eye on the issue13:56
seb128but yeah, rls-nn is probably the wrong way to do it13:56
Laneyto me the point of that list was things that were going to be worked on to a resolution13:57
seb128yes13:58
seb128the issue is that we believe some of the items ought to be driven to a resolution but we don't have the manpower at the time we review the list to do something about them13:59
seb128so they never get properly handled / stay on the backlog13:59
seb128I'm unsure what's the best way to deal with that13:59
willcookeseb128, perhaps we should have a section in our managers meeting to check on the progress of things which were flagged as needing work but dont have anyone to do it13:59
willcookethat's likely to use a lot of time up though, but it needs to be done13:59
willcookeor, as you say, a Trello list14:00
Laneyeverything in that list is meant to be assigned when it is put there (by us), or when we notice it at a weekly meeting14:00
seb128yeah, I think my preference would be to get those that needs investigation in the trello backlog14:00
seb128but it's moving from one backlog list to another one14:00
Laneythe issue is that the meeting is what? too rushed to consider it properly?14:00
seb128so I'm unsure it's solving anything14:00
willcookeLaney, yeah, feels too rushed14:00
seb128also we don't have the whole team14:01
seb128often assigning things to e.g robert_ancell or duflu doesn't have the outcome we want14:01
Laneyright14:01
willcookeIf part of the problem is that people need chasing more, that's easily addressed14:02
Laneysort of confused to be honest why assigning work to people doesn't result in the work getting done14:02
Laneybut I probably don't understand properly the problem14:02
Laneys/bad english/good english/14:02
seb128well, that's another issue14:02
seb128I discussed a bit that at GUADEC with Robert, his view was that it's difficult to keep track of things when they are not at the same place14:03
seb128like he uses the trello board but doesn't keep up with launchpad14:03
seb128so he said he would prefer to have those as trello cards14:03
kenvandineso getting cards for those should help14:03
kenvandineat least for him14:03
seb128yeah14:03
seb128but we can't flex for each individual preference14:04
Laneyfacepalm14:04
=== plars_ is now known as plars
seb128we can also decide that people who don't deal with their assigned bugs needs to be reminded to14:04
seb128anyway, that starts being a management's discussion and probably an issue we need to resolve but not here/now14:04
Laneylike, fix your filters so you see assigned bugs14:04
Laneywould be my preference14:04
seb128yeah14:05
didrocks(agreed)14:05
seb128so going back to the topic14:05
seb128I would suggest to not assign to people who didn't agree to during the meeting14:05
seb128in case we don't know what to do, let's add an action item for the most-appropriate-manager to find an assignee by the next meeting14:05
seb128and review those actions in the next meeting14:05
kenvandineyeah14:05
willcooke+1 sounds like a good step forward14:05
willcookethen we at least get an owner between now and the next meeting14:06
seb128Laney, let's try that + make clear cut on the items rather than skip when we don't know waht to do14:06
seb128and see how it goes?14:06
seb128k, I think we are done with this topic14:07

Berethah14:10
Beretyes, I bought a machine and put two NVMe SSDs in it14:11
BeretI want to do software RAID 1 and FDE14:11
Laneythe main reason for me to care is that it's annoying when there is no way to get things worked on other than pinging14:11
Beretit doesn't look like RAID is in the desktop installer these days14:11
* Laney stares at the "track rls bugs" card in trello14:11
Laneybbbbbrrrrbbbb14:11
willcookeBeret, I think LVM used to take care of that, but haven't looked for a while.  jibel - have you looked at LVM doing software raid?14:11
willcookealso maybe xnox knows (software raid in the desktop installer)14:12
seb128https://askubuntu.com/questions/505446/how-to-install-ubuntu-14-04-with-raid-1-using-desktop-installer14:12
Beretmy tentative plan was to boot the server installer, setup the RAID device, then boot the desktop installer and see if I could pikc that as a target14:12
Beretseb128, thanks14:13
Beretinteresting that the last comment on there recommends going the server route14:14
didrockswell, if you don't want to do the chroot, it's indeed easier14:15
didrockshowever, you will have server + desktop components installed14:15
didrocksand thanks god for mdadm --assemble compared to the old way of manually declaring all of this :)14:15
willcookedidrocks, sounds like a good usecase for installer+1 ;)14:16
Beretagreed14:16
didrockswillcooke: depends on what we are asked for it. But yeah14:16
didrocksautomated RAID has a lot of complex use case14:16
Beretthough tbh, I can't imagine many people would use it14:16
didrockslike here, it's doing the "let's have 2 grubs"14:16
BeretI myself haven't done desktop + RAID in years14:17
* didrocks has only done server on RAID14:17
Beretright14:17
willcookesame. When I had 3 1TB drives I did it14:17
didrocksfor desktop, I rely on backup instead of RAID114:17
willcookeand lot data because of it14:17
willcooke*lost14:17
BeretI only did it in the case of a server that I turned into a desktop14:17
didrocksand RAID1 < backups, before if you remove a file, it's lost14:17
jibelinstall the desktop task (ubuntu-desktop^) not the meta package14:17
jibelon top of a server installation14:17
didrocksand the gain perf from it, for a desktop… ~average14:17
Beretyou're doing a great job of talking me out of a non-existing feature of the desktop installer14:18
Beretpretty sure you get extra credit for that14:18
willcookegood work team14:19
jibelsame I've a standard disk setup for on the desktop and a NAS with RAID that syncs my home dir for backup14:19
didrocksI explain probably why it's not implemented :) Not a lot of gain going RAID for desktop :p14:19
willcookeIMO, create a normal boot partition and then stick, say, /home on a software raid14:19
willcookedont boot from s/w raid14:19

BeretI think I'm going to a normal fde deskopt install on the first disk, and a dedicated zpool disk on the second for containers14:22
Beretand stick to my NAS backup14:22
didrocksBeret: we can still discuss it if/when we do a new installer thingy, and do a + / - comparison to see if there is a real use case. Would be great to collect regular data on this though14:23
Beretyeah14:23
didrocksBeret: yeah, sounds like a better setup to me14:23
BeretI'd be surprised if there were enough consumers of such a solution to warrant building it14:23
didrocksyeah14:23
jibelit's also cheaper. You can use a fast SSD on your desktop and cheap rotational drives on your NAS with lot of space for backups. Instead of several SSDs with wasted space on your desktop for the RAID array14:27

xnoxBeret, server installer + install ubuntu-desktop should work; if your nvme/machines is fancy, you may be able to setup intel matrix raid using preos/uefi screens - then i think that could work even with desktop installer.15:00
ricotzare language-support-translations-* packages/references are still a thing?15:40
