seb128hey duflu oSoMoN, how are you today?07:46
jameshhi seb12807:46
dufluHey seb128. A bit unwell but I aim to remedy that with some boringly healthy cooking in a few hours... How are you?07:47
seb128:(07:49
seb128I'm good, looking forward having the heat wave going away tonight though!07:49
seb128hey jamesh, how are you?07:49
dufluSo tonight is the night?07:49
seb128should be!07:49
jameshseb128: good.  I think I got the last deadlock in the pulseaudio/snap policy module working.  It's a shame I couldn't just do glib main loop stuff in the main thread in pulse.07:51
seb128ah, nice07:54
seb128what was the issue with doing that?07:54
jameshpulse has its own main loop and doesn't want you doing blocking work.  snapd-glib relies on the glib main loop07:55
jameshso I have two threads running different main loops.  I submit jobs to the glib one via g_main_context_invoke(), then get results back via PulseAudio's asnc queue type07:57
jameshit all seems to be working now though, so that's good.07:58

willcookeseb128, trying to find a keyboard where the key spacing is what my fingers expect.  This one makes me angry and I keep mashing the wrong keys08:02
seb128remap alt to be space or something :p08:02
seb128problem solved!08:03
seb128Laney, 34°C forecasted today, another of those day and then winter is coming08:03
jameshIt isn't a mechanical keyboard, but the ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard is nice08:03
jameshespecially if that's what you've grown to expect on your laptop08:03
jibel+1 for the thinkpad keyboard, and it prevents wrist and shoulder pain caused by a mouse08:04
jameshI find it bounces a bit if you use the feet at the back, but flat against the table it is really nice08:05
willcookeyowzer, those are expensive08:06
willcookeWhy are keyboards so expensive now08:06
willcookeYou used to be able to buy a decent one for 20 quid08:06
willcookenow they're 8008:06
dufluMorning willcooke, Laney, jibel08:06
jameshthink of it this way: you don't have to buy a mouse if you get the ThinkPad keyboard :)08:06
* willcooke . o O ( Things were better in the olden days )08:06
willcookehi duflu08:07
jibelwillcooke, the thinkpad keyboard is around 50€08:07
duflujamesh, the same keyboard came to mind for me, but the model with the keyboard from the X220 is no longer produced, and sells for a fortunte on ebay (last I checked)08:07

dufluwillcooke, yeah you can get it in USB form... if you look really hard08:08
jameshwow.  It's selling for AU$184 on Amazon.com.au: that's more than double what I paid08:09
jibel62€ on lenovo.fr08:09
jameshah.  It's AU$72 on lenovo.com.au08:10
jameshwhich is approximately 46 Euros.  I guess the extra 16 euros are to move all the key caps around?08:12

Laneyhaha08:16
tjaaltonI have two of the older thinkpad usb keyboards to match with the old thinkpads, but now with t470s as my main laptop I'd say the new kbd layout isn't too bad, and the feel is the same, meaning just great08:16
tjaaltonwell worth the money08:16
Laneythe hotel I was in in Hsinchu just emailed me: "We found a toy you left in your room after you checked out."08:16

Laneya few rough edges in the middle of a cycle... not so bad?!?!?!?!08:33
Laneyhow come we have a delta in gdm to rename the user/group?11:02
willcookeLaney, related to t_jaalton's nvidia fix?11:58
Laneynah, it's old11:58
seb128Laney, we had gdm 3.n as "gdm" in Ubuntu so I guess it didn't make sense to rename the group back then12:05
seb128unsure why Debian is not using standard "gdm" now12:06
=== pstolowski is now known as pstolowski|lunch
seb128Laney, gdm has been removed from Debian in 2011, it would probably make sense to rename the source from gdm3 to gdm now in Debian (&Ubuntu)12:16

popeyhah! I had to do 27 :)12:25

kenvandine* The snapd API doesn't quite do what I needed for the Pulse Audio13:37
kenvandinepatches (while it does offer server side filtering, it doesn't tell us13:37
kenvandinewhether the plugs/slots are connected).  So it might be worth working13:37

seb128http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-tracking-bug-tasks.html needs some triaging, but we can do that out of the meeting13:54
seb128i'm going to review the list and see if things are getting stalled13:54
kenvandineseb128, oh... sorry :)13:54
seb128I'm also working on improving that13:54
seb128like writting scripts that nag/report inactivity, like the "your upload is blocked in proposed for <n days>"13:54
kenvandineseb128, oh... a robot seb!13:55

seb128:)13:55
seb128just as a note I'm working on doing some improvements to our versions page13:55
kenvandineseb256 is reserved for when he upgrades to x86_6413:55
seb128and maybe adding some sort of dashboard section13:56
seb128hehe13:56
kenvandineawesome :)13:56
seb128or maybe that's another report13:56
seb128I'm going to email news/details about that when I've a bit more done13:56
seb128and maybe try to seak help to make a proper website13:56
seb128I'm fine generating the data but probably not the right person to make that pretty :p13:56
kenvandinei have a script for generating something like that for the snaps13:57
kenvandineit generates a json file, rather than a static page13:57
kenvandineand i have an html page that uses the json for the model13:57
seb128url?13:58
seb128anyway that's not a meeting topic at this point13:58
kenvandinenot public atm... the script requires the snap cli... and the people server is 12.0413:58
kenvandineyeah13:58

willcookethanks everyone13:58
oSoMoNthanks!13:58
seb128that was all as aob for me, out of GNOME 3.29 updates ongoing and there is room for helping for those who want to do some (also Debian merges/other updates, see versions)13:58
kenvandineseb128, i need to convert my script to use the store's API so it can run without the snap cli13:58
willcookeand hi jbicha nice to see you13:58
kenvandineseb128, https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ken-vandine/ubuntu-desktop-versions/gnome-snaps/view/head:/snaps.sh14:00
kenvandinethat's my script14:00
seb128small :)14:01
kenvandineyeah :)14:01
kenvandineand creating json output is much simpler than static html14:01
kenvandineseb128, the logic for version comparison is all in the html file14:02
kenvandineso that's a bit longer14:02
seb128we need some team discussions around those report14:03
seb128but that can probably wait for Brussels and us to be together14:03
kenvandineyeah14:03
kenvandinewe should14:03
seb128we need a dashboard14:03
seb128it's a bit dense what we have to report14:04
seb128but it's just that the team is busy/has lot of things on its plates14:04
kenvandinemight be good for the dashboard to aggregate data from a collection of json files14:04
kenvandineat least that's what i was thinking when i hacked this script together :)14:05
Laneydashboards14:20
Laneyyou managers14:20
Laneywtf ://///14:21
Laneymy new gdm was not starting, but now it works14:22

* Laney blames VMs 😎14:24
tkamppeterSome GNOME expert here who has already tried the image viewer Geeqie?14:25
kenvandinejibel, my 18.04 hyper-v VM is stuck doing a dist-upgrade.  Last line of stdout says "snapd.snap-repair.service is a disabled or static unit, not starting it."14:33
kenvandineand it's been stuck at 87% for 30 minutes14:34
jibelkenvandine, anything in the journal?14:35
Laneyok breaks again :<14:36

jibelkenvandine, yes i looks like a data corruption15:08
jibelit*15:08
willcookeNext time anyone gets a chance, can you try changing the key binding for screenshot to clipboard to just prtscr and removing the binding for screenshot to Pictures - and see if screenshots stop working altogether15:12
willcookeI'm going to log out and back in and see if that fixes it15:12
willcookeworks now15:13
tkamppeterseb128, OK, I will look into this, but most probably it is because of evince sending a weird paper size name , like "Custom.Letter" instead of "Letter" when printing.15:15
tkamppeterseb128, I think therefore I had moved it to gtk+3.0 already.15:15
Laneydebugged the gdm issue with upstream16:13
