didrockssalut seb128 !08:09
seb128willcooke, is your "disconnect from pptp-vpn screws up dns" reproducible or was it a one time issue?08:10
willcookeseb128, yeah08:10
willcookeOh oh oh oh.  Guess what...08:10
willcookeit's baaaaaack08:10

Laney gdm3 | 3.30.1-1ubuntu2       | cosmic-proposed         | s390x08:16
Laneyseb128: can you remove that pls08:16
Laneywe forgot to add the gjs build-dep in ubuntu208:17
willcookeoh, sorry seb128 - it's reproduceable on a VM and real hardwar - but I'm using the same VPN, so could be my condif08:17
willcookeconfig08:17
seb128Laney, the other binaries as well or only gdm3?08:18
seb128willcooke, well, even if it's only some VPN configs, that remains a bug08:20
Laneyseb128: all the arch specific binaries08:21
seb128did you figure out was is wrong exactly?08:21
seb128Laney, done08:21
Laneythx08:21
seb128didrocks, reading that gdm changelog, wasn't the idea/problem that wayland fails to work with the nvidia driver on some configs? upstream gave up on fixing the problem that we went with a workaround?08:23
willcookeseb128, @ DNS bug.  Yeah, fair.  Restarting resolved fixes it, so I've tried logged it as a systemd bug ;)08:23
seb128willcooke, sounds like a good bug to get fixed but not important enough to be a release targetted one, right? I still wonder what goes wrong, you said the DNS config was correct ... maybe resolved getting confusing or something?08:24
willcookeI agree, not a rls blocker08:27
didrocksseb128: it's an issue on wayland gdm starting a wayland xorg user session08:30
didrockssorry08:30
seb128"wayland xorg user session"08:30
seb128wdym?08:30
didrocksstarting a wayland user session08:30
seb128ah, you use wayland for your user session?08:31
didrocksit's not an issue, apparently, if we start a xorg user session08:31
didrocksno08:31
seb128ah, you mean nvidia08:31
didrocksright, the reason why they blacklisted it08:31
Laneythey disabled it because glx doesn't work properly even if the session itself will08:31
seb128so it means users on nvidia binary driver that pick wayland session are going to get a non working login?08:31
didrocksas they have today on bionic08:31
seb128we are speaking about cosmic no?08:32
didrocksright08:32
* seb128 is getting confused08:32
seb128what has bionic to do with it now?08:32
didrocksbut we are talking about regressino vs non regression08:32
seb128I was rather trying to figure out fix vs workaround08:32
didrocksthe fix isn't going to come on time08:32
didrocksso, the question is:08:32
seb128I'm not arguing that the workaround/going back to the old state is wrong08:32
seb128k08:33
seb128well no question then08:33
seb128if the fix is not possible08:33
didrocksright, it's the less evil path08:33
seb128did we give up on being able to fix that?08:33
didrocksand as told in the changelog and patch, this solution was acked by upstream08:33
didrocksI don't think we will be able to, on our side, we rely on upstream08:33
seb128do they know what the issue is and it's hard to fix?08:33
seb128or just ENOCLUE atm?08:33
didrocksI did some tests with initial ideas08:33
didrocksbut it creates even more issues08:33
didrockslike flicker boots08:33
seb128or they are too busy to work on it?08:33
didrockssessionc rashing08:33
didrocksright08:33
didrocksyou should join #gnome-shell :p08:34
jibelwillcooke, there is a new iso, published 30 min ago08:34
didrocksbut basically, it will be a lot of poking from what I understood, and non trivial changes08:34
jibeland I can still reproduce the gdm bug on hw08:34
didrockswhich is why I decided, after checking with them, to go to the safest path08:35
didrocksmeaning "no regression if you compare to bionic"08:35
seb128didrocks, I joined #gdm, wrong pick :)08:35
didrocksas the issue was then GNOME Shell related, we continued there yesterday08:35
didrocksand did some tests on a branch, but yeah, it even created more issues than it solved08:35
seb128didrocks, yeah, good choice, I jsut did see any discussing on #ubuntu-desktop about the solution yesterday so the upload came a bit as a surprise08:35
seb128it makes sense now08:35
seb128didrocks, thanks for poking and pushing/working with upstream :)08:36
seb128didn't see*08:36
didrocksyw! :)08:36
didrocksat least, I wanted their blessing on the workaround, that's why I mentioned it in the changelog as well08:36
seb128right08:36
didrocksI guess they will have more feedbacks when fedora users start to upgrade08:36
didrocksas in few days, we already have 2 people, with different cards, on a pre-released ubuntu version08:37
didrocksI guess maybe that will help getting that prioritized08:37
didrocksbtw, we know why GNOME Shell exits08:37
didrocks(invalid drawing context due to nvidia driver)08:38
didrocksthe Shell behavior is just "restart" in that case, without any threshold08:38
seb128right08:38
seb128we need systemd user session to be able to do better things08:38
seb128and maybe a xfailsafe mode again08:38
seb128futur wishlish items08:38
didrocksyeah, that might help08:39
didrockstearing down Xorg though is a complicated story apparently08:39
willcookejibel, thx08:39
didrocksah, also a side effect for people fallbacked to Xorg is that Xorg + GNOME Shell process will stay up08:39
didrocksso the memory gain on having gdm GNOME Shell stopped once logged in doesn't apply in that case08:40
* seb128 still believes that we should have stayed with lightdm08:41
seb128but I lost that argument :(08:41

jameshseb128: Alex has merged my fix as is: https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/236.  He also suggested a couple of document-portal crash fixes from 1.0.3 we might want to include if we backport10:27

seb128jamesh, ah, nice, do you want/can you handle that backport today still? If not I can do it if you want10:38
seb128jamesh, for the other fixes unsure how important they are, we are supposed to focus on/land only release targetted fix now10:39
seb128jamesh, I would probably delay the other fixes to a SRU, unless they are trivial/make sense to backport as well10:39
seb128(the segfault is probably worth trying to get fixed on the iso since it impacts the live session, apport triggering there makes for a slower systemd/prompt annoyance)10:40

seb128Trevinho, andyrock, you have a stack of cards "in review" in the 18.10 board, could you update them as fit and move them to the next cycle board if you don't plan to land those changes in cosmic now11:30
seb128some probably make more sense for d now11:30
andyrockseb128: kk I'll take a look before eow11:31
seb128andyrock, thx11:32
seb128andyrock, I somewhat lost track, but what's the stack of the osk fixes that Carlos was supposed to review/help landing in 3.30?11:33
seb128did they end up being fixed or still ongoing work?11:33
andyrockseb128: I asked him to review it several times, every time he tells me that he's going to take a look11:33

jameshyou too!11:41
seb128thx11:42
seb128Laney, ^ from a r-t member perspective do you have an opinion on whether including the other fixes listed in that comment?11:43
Laneythe rule for me is: after final freeze I prefer not to upload stuff unless it's important for the ISO, if it can be SRUed then assume that's the way to go11:44
Laneypeople can argue on borderline cases if they want11:46
seb128Laney, right, my point earlier was that having a service segfaulting/triggering apport on the live session (which is what the main portal bug/fix is about) add IO pressure on the live session which is already slow on that side so worth having on the ISO11:46
seb128unsure how much you are agree with that11:47
seb128so assuming we want that fix on the ISO and do an upload, do you prefer having only one fix or take the opportunity to bundle the other ones?11:47
andyrockseb128: rebased11:50
seb128andyrock, thx11:50
Laneyseb128: I prefer keeping changes minimal, a crash fix that impacts the live session sounds good to me11:50
seb128Laney, great, thx!11:50
seb128shrug, just managed to make a cup of coffee fall over and drown my laptop keyboard :/12:22
seb128well, my laptop rather12:22

willcookejibel, comfirmed on a vbox vm13:26
jibelthx, i'll report a bug13:26
willcookebios -> blank purple screen -> text message about sda being clean -> gdm13:26
seb128no dot animation either here after updating my inspiron, but I didn't see plymouth/dots for long before so I don't think it's very conclusive on a few boots13:26
willcookeTrevinho, I'm thinking that I will wipe my Insiron and reinstall13:28
willcookeBefore I do, anything you want me to do with it in it's current state?13:28
willcookeseb128, andyrock - g-i-s; I used to be able to quit if from the global menu, but now I can't.  Is that intended?13:29
Trevinhowillcooke: mh, we've quite some logging, but hopefully the fails will happen again. I guess you might do a copy of the whole disk to be sure, but that shouldn't change much if it was fresh13:29
andyrockwillcooke: nope13:30
willcookeTrevinho, I've got the ISO if I need to reinstall13:30
willcookeI'll wipe it13:30
Trevinhok13:30
andyrockwillcooke: let me check13:30
willcookeandyrock, I think we spoke about /something/ to do with that menu before, but I cant remember what, but I have been using that menu for a while and I think it stopped working a couple of days ago.  I might be wrong though13:31
andyrockwillcooke: yeah to not show the wizard on the next setup13:31
willcookeahh, thats it13:31
andyrockwillcooke: I can reproduce, let me give a quick look13:31
willcookethanks andyrock13:33
andyrockwillcooke: is there already a bug?13:33
willcookeandyrock, no, I'll create one13:34
andyrockkk thx otherwise I can do it if you're busy13:34
seb128I'm re-installing the inspiron atm, I try later13:34

seb128andyrock, still need fixing :)14:26

willcookeLaney, in the preexec in the unit?14:39

Laney"fixed"14:43
willcookehegh14:43
didrocks(ship it!)14:43
didrocksthen, we can SRU 20% boot time improvements by changing it to 4 :p14:43
Laneymy next statement is that what you are seeing is not a bug, we are just better at deactivating plymouth now and your boot is fast enough that it's not needed14:43
willcookeneat!14:44
seb128the boot visual experience is not really nice but it's nothing new14:44
willcookedidrocks, cunning14:44
seb128like my inspiron spends way more time showing grub/a purple empty screen than anything else14:44
didrocksyeah, the 10s timeout…14:45
seb128plymouth is kicking in too late to be useful and that part of the boot is quick enough that it seems pointless14:45
seb128didrocks, you seem quite bothered by then, not the first time you mention it today :)14:45
didrocksseb128: the first one was before you start working :p14:46
seb128cyphermox is assigned to that grub issue, we might have it fixed before cosmic is out14:46
seb128didrocks, I saw it in the IRC log yes :)14:46
didrocksseb128: but I was just reacting to you mentioning it in that case14:46
seb128which is why I said it's not the first time you mention it today :p14:46
seb128yeah, my comment was not specific to that grub timeout though14:46
didrocksI hope there will be a fix, but TBH, before it was mentioned on the channel, I just found boot time to be a little bit longish14:47
didrocksah, I thought so14:47
willcookeI saw some movement on the bug earlier today I think14:47
didrocksthe grub/a purple empty screen isn't that issue for you?14:47
willcookeno different thing14:47
didrocksah k, I associated it with that one14:48
willcookebut the thing that jibel and I are talking about is what Laney described ^14:48
willcookeand the bug I saw some movement on was the grub one14:48
willcookeHas anyone found n-m to be a bit flaky still?14:49
willcookefor wifi14:49
didrocksdidn't notice anything, but I don't use much of my bandwidth (emails/uploads/IRC)14:49
seb128not me, but I'm not doing much out of connecting to my local AP14:49
seb128"flacky" as disconnecting?14:50
willcookeit's got an IP address, but no traffic can pass14:50

didrocksyou don't have some bzr-git plugin or something similar?15:17
Laneyprobably15:18
willcookeandyrock, I'll add you anyway, no harm15:18
LaneyI never tried to actually use bzr commands in a git repo though15:18
LaneyI used those things to convert and push/pull from one to another15:18
Laneybut you were always in the native one15:18
Laneymadness15:18
Laneywhat a world we live in today15:19
andyrockwillcooke: seb128: g-i-s fails to close because of this https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/87a645aa2b96d5db4da4c2ec80bf5b1c6e8cc7d315:20
andyrockthe commit is not wrong but introduced the bug in g-i-s15:21
willcookebecause it doesnt have a close button?15:21
andyrockI guess15:22
willcookehrm.  Not sure what to do there.15:25
andyrockI'm not sure if closable and "don't have the close button" are the same thing15:25
andyrockwillcooke: I can try to understand if closable and "don't have the close button" are the same thing15:26
andyrockwillcooke: otherwise we can add a custom quit action15:26
andyrockon g-i-s, that should work15:26
Laneywhy's this a bug?15:26
willcookeWell, I think being able to quit was a nice feature, and that's been taken away15:27
willcookeandyrock, dont worry about it for now, I don't think it's important enough to look at before release15:27
andyrockalso, gnome-shell shows a quit that does nothing15:28
Laneythat part I can agree with (although that won't happen with 3.22 after the app menus are gone)15:28
andyrockbut appmenu are going away so..15:29
Laneythe other part, debatable, there are arguments for having it not have a quit action15:29
willcookeyeah15:29
willcookeWe're using it in a manner where you can quit and still have a working machine15:29
willcookebut that's non standard15:29
Laneyeven so, Ubuntu might want users to have to go through the g-i-s process for its own reasons15:30
andyrockI would suggest to just hide the quit menuitem15:31
andyrockit's three pages and you can skip them15:31
willcookeyeah, sounds fine to me15:31
Laneythe one from the dock still works by the way15:32
willcookeha, interesting15:32
willcookeandyrock, ok, you're on the list15:33
andyrockthx15:33

seb128didrocks, ah, Laney send a report/patch the "language-selector prompt with an non empty list after install" issue we discussed the other day :)15:52
seb128https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/179757915:52
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1797579 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "ubiquity removes packages for non-en_US english locales" [Undecided,New]15:52
didrocksseb128: we discussed/debugged it a little bit together today15:53
Laneythat's probably only part of what you said15:53
didrocksit's even more complex than this15:53
didrockshere is a subpart of the issue15:53
seb128shrug, somehow I'm missing all the debug discussions this week15:53
seb128the vpn thing one15:53
seb128the gdm one15:53
seb128that one15:53
seb128:(15:54
didrocksbut I checked and it was the case in finale iso for 16.04(.5 at least)15:54
Laneypeople talk in places that aren't #ubuntu-desktop, this is nothing new15:54
didrocksbut yeah, getting this part of the bug fixed will be great (if not too complex)^15:54
didrocksthe other issue is way more complex15:54
seb128right, well i'm on -devel/-release/-desktop, that used to be good enough to follow up what's going on15:54
LaneyI can assure you that I've had many discussions in upstream IRC channels that you're not in over the years15:55
seb128I feel like it's more difficult nowadays to see what's going on, especially on foundations thing since they seem to not use -devel as much as they used to (which is I point I plan to raise with them post cosmic, now is not the right time)15:55
seb128lol15:55
seb128I'm not saying I want to follow everything going on in the free software world :)15:56
seb128unsure why you assume so?15:56
seb128I guess what I wrote came accross wrongly again :(15:56
* seb128 goes back in his cave15:56
Laneyyou told us off for having a private conversation15:57
Laneyso I'm feeling like I need to defend against that15:57
seb128I didn't mean to tell anyone off15:58
seb128sorry if I did15:58
seb128I was just feeling like I did a poor job at following what's going on this week15:58
seb128should have kept that for myself you are right, that's not useful on a channel15:58
seb128sorry15:58
didrocksbut we have the team meeting for catching up! :)15:58
seb128right :)15:58
didrocksthe good thing is that knowing/looking at this issue now would help in a potential future installer as things to take into account15:59
seb128I'm not trying to meddle, I was just honestly interested in trying some of the fixes like the vpn one15:59
* didrocks has a every growing note15:59
didrocksever*15:59
seb128I just failed to kept myself informed enough to find the patch and be useful15:59
seb128anyway15:59
seb128it's just probably not my day, ignore me15:59
seb128oh, and I lost left click and an usb port to the coffee incident it seems :(16:00
didrocksargh :/16:00
seb128I should probably try to take the laptop appart and clean it properly16:00
didrocksyeah16:00
didrocksand wait for it to dry16:00
seb128bad news is that I had suggered my coffee because spilling it over the laptop16:01
seb128the dry suggar might not be of the best effect :/16:01
willcooke:((16:01
didrockshum, indeed, not the best…16:02
seb128well, good news is that the laptop is still working/up :p16:02
seb128and I've the inspiron as a backup/need to order that new laptop anyway16:03
didrocksthat's maybe a sign16:03
seb128;)16:04
=== pstolowski is now known as pstolowski|afk
seb128didrocks, so, last question on the language thing, do we still need a bug report of do we have one that cover what I described the other day (asked you because I don't want to annoy Iain more, sorry :p)16:05
seb128I had on my todo to report it, I just wanted to reconfirm the problem before doing so16:05
seb128I'm happy to delete that line though :)16:05
LaneyI wouldn't get annoyed about that16:05
LaneyThe one I filed is specific: if you select non-US English, e.g. en_GB, ubiquity removes the en_GB components nonetheless16:06
seb128ah, good :)16:06
seb128k16:06
seb128I will open one about the fr case then16:06
LaneyI don't know what the rest of it is really16:06
didrocksseb128: no, there is none. But I guess the crux of the issue is that en_US is partially installed even if you select fr_FR16:06
seb128k16:06
seb128https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/drJ9rt2P7V/ were the ones missing for me16:07
didrocksyeah, because you had en_US selected, which, via language-selector selects en16:07
seb128that's en/-gb -ca -za basically16:07
didrocksbut ubiquity removed all en_{!US}16:07
Laneydid you install in english?16:07
seb128no, fr16:07
seb128but that leads to have fr/en16:07
Laneyok16:07
didrockswhich is the first issue IMHO16:07
seb128and then language-selector tells me those are missing on first use16:07
Laneyubiquity is on purpose only keeping en_US int hat case16:07
didrocksthere are 3 different bugs from what I see (one being in language selector itself)16:08
didrocksbut good to track, unsure the value of fixing it if we go with a new installer (if not, ofc, needs fixing)16:09
didrocksalso, it seems we don't prompt for partially installed languages anymore?16:09
didrocksI thought we had some prompt (via update-notifier?) in the past?16:09
willcookehuh, I can still see libreoffice-l10n-en-gb installed here16:10
didrocksargh, I rebooted, I don't have the list anymore :/16:10
didrocksbut it was basically the one seb128 pointed out16:11
didrocks(didn't check one by one)16:11
didrockswillcooke: new install or older one?16:11
willcookenew install16:11
willcookebut I loaded LO and I dont have the en_GB dic16:11
didrocksyep, that's hyphen-en-gb I think (?)16:11
didrocksor hunspell*16:11
didrocksbut weird that you have libreoffice-l10n-en-gb16:12
didrocksbasically, you have chosen:16:12
didrocks- english (first ubiquity screen)16:12
didrocks- keyboard: UK16:12
didrockscorrect?16:12
willcooke$ check-language-support16:12
willcookehunspell-en-au hunspell-en-ca hunspell-en-gb hunspell-en-za hyphen-en-ca hyphen-en-gb libreoffice-help-en-gb libreoffice-l10n-en-gb libreoffice-l10n-en-za mythes-en-au thunderbird-locale-en-gb16:12
didrocksah see16:12
didrockscheck-language-support complains about libreoffice-l10n-en-gb16:12
didrocksare you sure it's installed?16:12
willcooke$ dpkg -l | grep libreoffice-l10n-en-gb16:13
willcooketest@test-Inspiron-3137:~$16:13
willcookenope :)16:13
didrocksconsistent :)16:13
willcookekthxbye]#16:13
didrocksso, you have en_US selected by default16:13
didrocksand en16:13
willcookeya16:13
didrocksas you have partially en16:13
didrocksit complains about all those packages16:13
didrocksthis is the logic of check-language-support16:14
didrocksbut ubiquity only installs en_US, not en16:14
didrocksso, it removes the others16:14
didrocksand even more weirdly, if you select fr_FR, it installs en_US + fr_FR16:14
didrocksbut not new at all, I was able to reproduce the exact same behavior on 16.04.516:15
didrockssorry, *behaviour*16:15
didrocks:)16:15
willcooke:)16:15
Laneythat doesn't seem wrong to me16:15
Laneyit's the fallback order for translations16:15
didrocksfor individual softwares, indeed, but for langpacks when we know we cover those packages?16:16
didrocksI guess something not translated ends up in the .mo file, untranslated16:16
didrocks(in fr.mo)16:16
didrocksthen for others, ofc, they ship their own .mo, but that's outside of the langpack scope16:17
seb128didrocks, so what changed? we used to install ca/za/gb as well?16:17
seb128or language-selector used to not think those are needed on a french install?16:17
didrocksseb128: I don't know how it behaved in January 2016 which is the last time I checked it after merging it and going to marketing16:18
didrocksbut I guess nobody tried it on final 16.0416:18
seb128I'm going to try that on monday16:18
didrocksand it regressed in between, unsure if it used to install ca/za/gb16:18
didrocksor if language-selector changed16:18
seb128it's a bit late now to start a new iso download/install today16:18
didrocksbut finale 16.04 is wrong16:18
seb12816.04?16:19
didrocksand shows the same behaviour than 18.10 today16:19
didrocksyeah16:19
Laneythis could probably wait16:19
Laney;-)16:19
seb128we would have that issue if we were just install fr for everyone :p16:19
seb128wouldn't*16:19
didrocksand remove the rest16:19
seb128installing16:19
seb128yes!16:19
didrocksquick patch :) no langpacks16:19
didrocksno translations, and french function names16:20
didrockslike visual basic at the time :)16:20
seb128:)16:21
jbichaseb128: I disabled langpacks in debian/control for epiphany-browser & webkit2gtk for cosmic. Do you need to do something in LP for that?16:23
seb128jbicha, I can disable them in launchpad so translators don't get confused16:23
jbichaI expect both those packages to get new versions too frequently for our langpacks16:23
jbichathanks16:23
didrocksseb128: TBH, a quick workaround would be: if en_* is selected, ensuring language-selector ignores en (and so, we still install en_US + your lang)16:23
seb128jbicha, why did you disable epiphany?16:23
didrocksunsure at this point, this is independant from the other issue Laney caught though16:24
seb128jbicha, we get newer serie of epiphany-browser for security? or do they add string in stable series?16:24
jbichawe might do new major releases of epiphany as SRUs too16:24
seb128it's going to be fun if they depends on newer gnome/gtk versions16:24
didrocksseb128: let's rediscuss/work on this together next week if you want16:24
seb128didrocks, yeah, it's a minor bug, not an important issue16:24
seb128so let's see if there is no other fire to fight16:25
didrocksagreed16:25
didrocksthis is why I had a look at that today, now that all my "fires" are fixed :)16:25
jbichaseb128: epiphany depends on whether anyone bothers to do the SRUs. For instance, I think mcatanzaro believes that elementary is actually the largest user of epiphany16:25
seb128jbicha, btw security team didn't seem happy about new webkitgtk requiring a new gcc version16:27
jbichayes, I talked to them about it16:28
seb128they seemed quite of stucked to update16:28
=== Class7_ is now known as Class7
seb128unsure if they figured out a solution16:28
seb128didrocks, if your fires are handled you should take the opportunity to call it a week and go enjoy the w.e before something else arrives :)16:29
didrocksseb128: good idea! I was still looking at language-selector, but better to run before anything happens16:30
didrocksthrow my phone in the bin16:30
didrocksto ensure no telegram :p16:30
didrocksput fire on all electronic devices16:30
didrocksand call it a quite week ;)16:30
didrockssee you everyone!16:30
jbichamdeslau_r mentioned something about a stdlibc++ issue that could cause problems for backporting gcc but I don't know enough about c++ in Ubuntu to know what that means16:30
didrocksquiet*16:31
seb128jbicha, yeah, I didn't follow the details, newer gcc means newer libstdc++ from what I understand and it might cause runtime issues16:31
seb128firefox has code to handle that but epîphany doesn't16:32
jbichawe should raise that issue with mcatanzaro since I think he was under the understanding that backporting gcc wasn't supposed to be too big of a hardship for LTS distros16:33
seb128mdeslaur, ^ did anyone raise that problem with upstream?16:35
seb128k, going to stop the laptop to take it appart and clean it before calling it a day/week16:40
seb128have a nice w.e desktopers!16:40
