_novgorodhey everyone, looking for a bit of help with what i'm hoping to be a minor (crossing fingers*) audio issue in the latest lts.. anyone keen to offer aid?07:32
willcookemorning all07:35
_novgorodmorning willcooke07:35
_novgorodwillcooke, well, actually it's about half past midnight here but still, morning/evening.. whichever suits ya07:35
willcooke:))07:36
willcookeHi _novgorod07:36
_novgorodwillcooke, greetings to you07:37
_novgorodwillcooke, you make the leap to 18.04 yet?07:40
willcooke_novgorod, oh yes!  Long ago07:41
seb128good morning desktopers07:43
seb128hey willcooke07:43
_novgorodwillcooke, right on. i only just recently. i grew fond of my previous dual boot and didn't want to make the leap right away07:43
willcooke_novgorod, nothing wrong with being a bit cautious :)07:45
duflu_novgorod, what is the problem exactly?07:48
_novgorodnot so much cautious as i was in love with the old set of partitions. the dual boot served me well. in the end, it was the lack of space on my drive.. needed more07:48
_novgorodduflu, not exactly sure, i know that i took an update recently and out of neglect failed to read it, it started at boot and i'm sure i just clicked away to get to something else. either way, my audio has been finicky at best07:50
_novgorodduflu, it's coming out rather muffled now, as opposed to crisp.07:50
duflu_novgorod, the first thing to check is that you're not using any audio extension cables. Poor quality connections can completely destroy the sound, even remove voice/instruments completely07:51
duflu(how that happens I don't know, but it does)07:51
_novgorodduflu, i don't cable07:51
_novgorodbluetooth from time to time, but never cable.07:52
_novgorodbluetooth audio is fine btw07:52
_novgorodno problems there.07:52
duflu_novgorod, want to reword that? If it's not cable and not bluetooth then what is it? :)07:53
_novgorodduflu, system audio.. on it's own without bluetooth is damaged.07:53
duflu_novgorod, sounds non-obvious. I would suggest making a bug so we can see the details. Just run "ubuntu-bug pulseaudio"07:54
duflu_novgorod, another idea: check your sound settings and ensure you have not allowed volume over 100%, because going over 100% will usually cause distortion07:56
oSoMoNgood morning desktoppers07:57
dufluMorning oSoMoN07:57
_novgorodduflu, i don't exceed that i'm aware of, which part of the bug would be most helpful?07:58
duflu_novgorod, not sure yet. Just submit everything that gets attached automatically07:59
oSoMoNhey duflu08:00
Laneyhey hey08:02
dufluMorning Laney08:05
seb128lut oSoMoN, en forme ?08:09
seb128hey Laney, how are you?08:09
_novgorodduflu, sent08:09
* duflu waits for mail08:10
oSoMoNseb128, ça va, et toi?08:11
oSoMoNhey laney08:11
seb128ça va bien, il fait moins chaud !08:11
oSoMoNlooks like it's raining for good now, we've had a few showers yesterday and last night but they never lasted more than 2 mins08:12
Laneyhey duflu seb128 oSoMoN08:15
* Laney is decent08:15
Laneylooking cloudy today08:16
* Laney hopes for rain08:16
willcookeLaney, how is the allotment holding up?  Anything still alive?08:18
Laneyhey willcooke08:18
Laneywe've put half of a reservoir on it over the past few weeks08:19
Laneythank goodness for hosepipes /o\08:20
Laneycorn is getting nice and fat08:20
Laneywinter squash are already making vines all over the place08:20
_novgorodduflu, just checked status, service not found :/08:22
duflu_novgorod, can you share the text output from 'ubuntu-bug pulseaudio' ?08:30
willcookeLaney, when Brexit comes and we're all starving, I'll come to you cap-in-hand for a bowl of soup then08:30
willcookehttps://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/aug/09/im-already-stockpiling-readers-preparing-for-a-messy-brexit08:30
willcooke!!08:30
dufluThat title makes more sense with the ':08:31
willcooke:)08:32
willcookeWith articles like that they need to stock pile readers08:32
dufluAnd this is the room where I keep my subscribers08:32
_novgorodduflu, i don't have screenshot setup08:33
willcookeduflu, lol08:33
duflu_novgorod, just paste a little bit of the error message and surrounding text here?08:33
* duflu hates having to debug the bug reporting tool but this isn't the first time08:35
_novgorodduflu, wouldn't let me copy/paste/right click inside of bug window.. here is what i got08:39
_novgorodduflu, Error: comman ['pacmd'.list'] failed with exit code 1: Home directory not accessible: Permission denied. No PulseAudio daemon running, or not running as session daemon.08:39
_novgorodError: command*08:39
duflu_novgorod, OK. Don't use 'sudo'. Just run the command as yourself08:39
duflu_novgorod, but if "No PulseAudio daemon running" then that's the first problem. You won't have sound at all (in most apps) if that's true08:40
dufluThat's something I do have a solution for, but it isn't the muffled problem you originally mentioned08:41
_novgorodduflu, pulse list that gave error previously doesn't list error anymore, still no copy/paste function. it not reads off a list of a dozen indexes08:43
duflu_novgorod, when you run 'ubuntu-bug pulseaudio' you should eventually be shown a web link. You need to click on and follow that link to finish creating the bug report08:44
_novgorodduflu, currently i have the same muffled sound in vlc, spotify, and streaming media. i do not have sound adjusting volume.08:45
duflu_novgorod, OK. If the commands don't work for you then please just create a new bug on this web page: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+filebug08:46
dufluThen when you have a bug open you will be able to paste more details about what you see in that08:47
_novgorodduflu, creating new bug now08:50
_novgorodduflu, i feel like this process used to be easier..08:55
_novgorodduflu, link sent09:01
jameshand now there's hail09:03
_novgorodduflu, Thanks for your help with all this, much appreciated. i'll check back on the bug a bit later.09:25
duflu_novgorod, no problem. My day ends soon and it sounds like yours should have already09:26
_novgorodduflu, you're correct. i'm overdue by about 5 maybe 6 hrs on my end.09:26
_novgorodduflu, again, many thanks!09:27
tseliotLaney: hi, it looks like this merge got lost in your last upload of gdm in cosmic. Can you fix it, please? https://code.launchpad.net/~albertomilone/ubuntu/+source/gdm3/+git/gdm3/+merge/35181009:30
Laneyok, sorry about that09:32
tseliotnp, I'm just trying to get LP: #1778011 fixed for good09:34

seb128oSoMoN, what version of libreoffice are we aiming at having in cosmic?09:40
Laneytseliot: there you go09:56
tseliotLaney: thanks. Did you update git too?09:59
oSoMoNseb128, 6.1.009:59
oSoMoNthanks for filing that tracking bug, btw09:59
seb128oSoMoN, ok, I opened a bug about it so it's listed on version, might be worth a trello card also?10:00
seb128oSoMoN, yw!10:00
oSoMoNseb128, yep, trello card just created10:00
seb128thx10:00

Laneytseliot: yeah10:10
dufluseb128, if I am redesigning Ubuntu patches from scratch (rebasing) on a newer Debian package and have zero history from Ubuntu then should the changelog still show the Ubuntu history or is it fine to only have one Ubuntu entry above Debian?10:13
seb128I never bothered to keep old changelog entries but I know some people disagree wtih that10:15
dufluYeah I have previously kept the Ubuntu changelog and just inserted the latest one from Debian, which is neither10:16
seb128in practice if a package get in sync and delta again we don't bother remerging old changelogs as well10:16
seb128which I think is not that different10:16
dufluseb128, yes it is a "sync" and I am rewriting Ubuntu patches from scratch. So just use the Debian history?10:16
seb128sounds fine to me yes10:17
dufluPrevious update: 2017-08-0910:17
dufluToday: 2018-08-0910:17
dufluIt's fate10:17
seb128hehe10:21
seb128what package is that?10:21
dufluseb128, mpv10:22
willcooke:)10:22
seb128back to video decoding work? ;)10:23
tseliotLaney: thanks! :)10:23
dufluseb128, yeah there are bugs we can soon close. And it's convenient that Debian has jumped to the latest now10:24

seb128Laney, can you help with gbp? I'm getting confused again :/14:48
seb128I did "gbp clone pkg-gnome:gnome-bluetooth", downloaded http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/gnome/sources/gnome-bluetooth/3.28/gnome-bluetooth-3.28.2.tar.xz and did a gbp import-orig if the tarball14:49
seb128it seems to have worked but upstream/latest is ahead of 1 commit compared to origin/upstream/latest and seems to be missing the upstream individual commits between .0 and .214:51
seb128it feels wrong but I'm unsure what I missed or what didn't work14:51
seb128hum, maybe I need a -upstream-vcs-tag= since the tags are not standard14:55
seb128right, that was it15:03
seb128Laney, unping15:03
Laneynice15:11
Laneyyou can add "upstream-vcs-tag = invalid" or something to debian/gbp.conf, that makes it error instead of not taking the tag at all15:12
seb128sounds like maybe a good default for pkg-gnome components?15:13
Laneyyeh I think a couple already have it15:13
seb128(or maybe "good default" at all, unsure how tagging is handled in other projects)15:13
seb128k, so I can just commit such changes?15:13
Laneyyep15:13
seb128thx15:13
Laneymight want to check I didn't make it up though15:14
Laneywell I didn't make it up, but that specific line might not be exactly right15:14
seb128k, I'm going to look for other cases in pkg-gnome and copy what they did to be sure :)15:15
Laney# Upstream tags in this project are not conveniently named for this15:15
Laneyupstream-vcs-tag = invalid15:15
Laneygnome-settings-daemon15:16
seb128thx15:17
seb128interesting one as well, https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/eog/commit/dcb4deb115:17
seb128the15:17
seb128"[import-orig]15:17
seb128postimport = dch -v%(version)s New upstream release; git add debian/changelog; debcommit15:17
seb128"15:17
seb128bit15:17
seb128I wonder if that should be standard/default as well15:17
LaneyI wouldn't mind it without the debcommit15:18
* Laney likes to add NEWS entries in there15:19
seb128yeah, I don't think that one is needed15:19
seb128but dch/add would be nice15:19
Laneyalso patch-numbers = False I think would be a good one15:19
seb128should perhaps be a default in gbp though, I don't know why you wouldn't want to do that15:19
seb128tkamppeter, the new ghostscript is unhappy on ppc64el, the build seems to stuck on " ./soobj/aux/echogs -e .dev -a- ./soobj/xpswrite -include ./soobj/vector -include ./soobj/libtiff" and get killed after 2 hours, same after a retry now15:22
seb128that leads to cups/cups-filter/etc to fail to build also on that arch15:22
seb128which is going to make them block in cosmic-proposed until ghostscript is resolved15:23

robert_ancellximion, could you upload appstream-glib 0.7.11 to debian? Should be an easy update21:22
robert_ancellximion, also should probably discuss if it makes sense to add the developer verified quirk into the AppStream spec21:23
robert_ancellkenvandine, oh I set up a build server on canonistack for my builds.21:34
robert_ancellI seem to be getting failures that don't happen on the GNOME builders - did you have to do anything special to set it up?21:34
robert_ancellAlso, I have to add it for every project which is a pain, but I think not possible to work around unless you belong to a group you control.21:35
