[00:37] <jbicha> alternatively, you can use https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=compulsory_for_desktop&perpkg=1 but that won't help if you have users who install other desktops, log in, and then want to remove apps, & then log back in to Xfce
[00:37] <jbicha> note that appstream.ubuntu.com hasn't been updating its metadata recently so you'll have to wait until that works again for your change to take effect
[02:16] <bluesabre> jbicha: thanks for the quick and detailed response!
[10:12] <jibel> wxl, hi, could you have a look at bug 1789879 ?
[10:23] <acheronuk> tsimonq2: ^^
[10:24]  * acheronuk hides from that merge
[10:35] <bluesabre> infinity: If you have a moment, can you please take a look at the xubuntu-core debian-cd/livecd-rootfs/ubuntu-cdimage merges, https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/xubuntu-base/+merge/347414 ?
[10:51] <ginggs> jibel, wxl: Do we really need the ubuntu delta for msttcorefonts? In my experience, it has been broken in Ubuntu for a long time.  I've been installing the binary from Debian (as suggested in one of the LP bug reports).
[15:23] <seb128> slangasek, hey, who would be the right person to look at the netplan autopkgtest failing with the new network-manager version (and blocking it in cosmic-proposed)
[16:48] <slangasek> seb128: I have flagged it to cyphermox who has the most context, but he's otherwise busy this week.  I don't want to ignore those failures, netplan autopkgtests have picked up real regressions in other packages (including systemd)
[16:56] <wxl> ginggs: jibel: Debian has taken portions of the Ubuntu delta but can't take them all as they depend upon update-notifier which they can't guarantee (?) is present in Debian. I attempted to retain those pieces that were relevant to us while merging with upstream changes. I think it might be better, in retrospect, to simply try to start fresh with 3.7 and fix only what's broken with it.
[17:47] <jibel> wxl, yeah. As it is the postinst and update-ms-fonts in Ubuntu are not compatible
[17:50] <wxl> jibel: i'll work on overhauling it tonight.
[18:09] <seb128> slangasek, thx, and yeah I agree on not skipping over the failure
[19:29] <bdmurray> Anybody have an idea about bug 1743216? The ProcCmdline is rather strange
[19:34] <slangasek> bdmurray: impressive, any of those substrings match a grep -r /usr on a default desktop?
[19:36] <slangasek> bdmurray: maybe only budgie / xubuntu, given the last (and therefore most current, non-prerelease) dupe?
[19:36] <bdmurray> slangasek: xdg-screensaver
[19:37] <slangasek> fun
[19:37] <sarnold> wow
