seb128Trevinho, hey, bug #1797851 started with your most recent change, would be nice if you could have a look08:28
ubot5bug 1797851 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "/usr/bin/nautilus:11:g_type_check_instance_cast:NAUTILUS_SEARCH_PROVIDER:nautilus_search_engine_stop:stop_search:disconnect_model_handlers" [High,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/179785108:28
didrocksseb128: so, on check-language-support, it's even worse than I thought08:40
didrocksthe info of "installed / want to have installed languages is coming from account services"08:40
didrockson a fresh "french" selected installation, the list is:08:40
didrocks fr_CA en_US  fr_FR en en_AU fr en_GB en_CA08:41
didrocksso some variants for french and english08:41
didrocksenglish is set at install time selecting en_US + fr_FR08:41
didrocksthe others seems to be pulled by account-services, I think that's the switch to account-services which (maybe?) has us regressed08:42
didrocksand what I told the other days stays: if we select "en", all en_* are then selected08:42
didrocks/usr/share/language-tools/language-options is in perl… hum08:43
didrocksbut:08:44
didrocks# add items without country code to facilitate lookups08:44
didrocks    ( my $lang = $loc ) =~ s/_[A-Z]+//;08:44
didrocksso stripping the _ is something done on purpose in language-options08:44
seb128hum08:46
seb128I don't think the use of account-services is any recent, it was probably there at the time we looked at the topic for xenial and probably didn't change since08:46
didrocksyeah, just checked that, oneiric08:47
didrocksbut maybe it wasn't doing the above stripping of _, which leads to that…08:47
didrocksanyway, ubiquity / check-language-support should be in sync (one using the other one) to determine what to install / remove08:47
didrocksI wonder though how much effort this is, depending if we replace the installer…08:48
didrocks(also, the seed should be in sync with check-language-support, which isn't the case)08:48
didrocksthat's separate from L_aney issue though, which is to ensure at least if you select en_GB, that en_GB is indeed selected and not en_US08:49
seb128right08:53
seb128we should maybe talk to GunnarHj about it, he knows the tricks in those perl scripts and why they are there08:53
didrocksyeah08:53
didrocksbecause it sounds really like a yak shaving task :p08:54
didrocksbut at least, understanding this could be in a new installer redesign08:54
didrocks(fortunately, the perl script isn't really long)08:54
seb128well, if that worked in xenial the diff/change/bug is probably trivial, I doubt we had any "real change" in that stack08:57
seb128but yeah, doing it properly is likely yak shaving08:57
seb128and it doesn't seem important/high priority08:57
seb128thanks for investigating08:57
seb128I don't think it's worth persuing more atm, unless you have interest to get to the bottom of it08:58
seb128otherwise maybe record what you found in a bug report and call it enough for now?08:58
didrocksseb128: it worked in xenial when I tested it08:58
didrocksin January 201608:58
didrocksbut not in 16.04.5 as told on Friday08:58
didrocksso, even diffing isn't trivial :/08:59
didrocksI'm just printing a little bit what we get in the perl functions, and yes, file that in a bug report08:59
seb128didrocks, weird that it regression in a point update, or maybe it got buggy before .0 went out?09:05
didrocksI think there is a high chance of regression before .0 IMHO09:05
Laneymoin09:14
didrockshey Laney, how is London?09:17
Laneygrey, cold09:19
Laneybut i'm with some GREAT! GUYS!09:19
Laneyhow are you?09:19
didrocksI'm good, thanks! Overall great week-end :)09:20
didrocksyou are with great gruys, unlike every week on IRC, I see, I see :p09:20
Laneyi can touch these people09:25
* Laney touches sil2100 to prove it09:25
seb128hey Laney, how is the office?09:26
didrocks"good" news, if you try to apply updates via GNOME Software, at least, you nothing is applied on boot, so you don't end up in a broken situation09:28
seb128?09:29
didrockswell, you mentioned on Friday that GNOME Software update panel isn't hidden, which is a bug to fix09:29
seb128you are referring to bug #1797543 ?09:29
ubot5bug 1797543 in gnome-software (Ubuntu) "Gnome-software - unable to update software - Button Restart & Update, restarts no updates applied" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/179754309:29
seb128I don't think your statement is always true09:29
didrocksah?09:29
didrocksI have a mix of "system updates" + apps09:29
seb128we had report from foundations in bionic that it leads to screwed update when debconf is involved09:29
seb128maybe you didn't have anything with debconf09:30
didrockscould be, indeed, or maybe another package to install triggers packagekit to activate?09:30
didrocks(I'm a vanilla, default install)09:30
seb128well, that prompt kicks in the offline updates from packagekit09:30
seb128so if you reboot it does install updates in background I think09:31
didrockswhich did nothing at all for me (no update, nothing)09:31
seb128nothing visible09:31
seb128you are sure it didn't install them in a way you didn't notice?09:31
didrocksI checked the package list and version before/after09:31
didrocksidentical09:31
seb128k, another bug then :p09:31
seb128it "worked" for some people in bionic09:31
didrockswell, a "good" one in that case :)09:31
didrocksyeah :/09:31
seb128so either that "regressed"09:31
seb128or it's random09:31
didrockscould be, tried twice to ensure…09:32
seb128anyway I would prefer if Robert fixed it, he knows what to change from his comment on the bug09:32
seb128but I think he called it a day without having uploaded anyway09:32
didrocksor maybe you install something else which then hook up in the boot09:32
seb128unsure how much it's a release vs SRU issue09:32
didrocksyeah, as I didn't see anything coming, I wanted to check how bad that was09:32
Laneyhey seb12809:42
Laneyit's alright yeah09:42
didrocksseb128: do you know if there is any particular fixes we are interested in on new evince for bionic?09:46
Trevinhojibel: kvm yes... and i think is the same of willcooke one, I've spent some time on it already.09:48
TrevinhoAnd looking at it still09:49
Trevinhoseb128: hi seb, ok09:49
jibelTrevinho, I didn't try on kvm but I cannot reproduce it anymore on hw09:55
Trevinhojibel: kvm on qxl happens here. Time dependent a sleep fixes it09:56
Trevinhoandyrock: ^09:56
didrocksseb128: (as you just left when I posted that): do you know if there is any particular fixes we are interested in on new evince for bionic?09:58
didrockslike some particular checks I should put in the test case?09:58
seb128not that I know no, sorry09:59
didrocksno worry, preferred to double check!09:59
didrocksI'll discuss the ps thingy with our security team though09:59
didrocksto ensure that's ok09:59
andyrockTrevinho: cannot run libvirt-bin.service here so I cannot test11:18
Trevinhoseb128: I've pushed nautilus branches for both cosmic and bionic.12:13
seb128Trevinho, bionic is another regression fix for the current SRU?12:17
Trevinhoseb128: it's fixing the pkg in sru queue12:18
Trevinhoseb128: so, I was wondering if mentioning the bug in changelog or not, but for sure it doesn't need classic verification12:19
seb128Trevinho, if there was not git to deal with I would just re-upload to replace the current SRU from the queue without changing the version/changelog/bug reference12:23
seb128unsure what to do with the vcs in that case though12:24
Trevinhoseb128: well, we can still do some force pushes, but not sure :-P12:26
seb128yeah, it would be bzr I would bzr uncommit; change; bzr commit; bzr push --overwrite12:27
seb128just how do that with git doesn't stick for me, or it feels too hackish12:28
Trevinhoseb128: you can do the same on git, l_aney wouldn't like it but I can give you the recipe for the happiness if you want xD12:28
seb128haha12:29
seb128what happens if you tag again the same revision? it moves the tag to the new commit?12:29
seb128I mean tag again using the same tag string12:29
seb128not tagging the same commit id12:29
Laneyit is exactly the same level of hackiness as it would be with bzr12:45
Laneyyou have to delete the tag and then re-tag12:48
jbichaseb128: by default anyone who has pulled the old tag won't get the new tag so if you think people might have the old tag, it may be better to use a new tag name12:55
jbichaalso version numbers are cheap so it might just be easier to use a higher version number12:55
jbichagood morning12:56
didrocksmorning jbicha12:59
seb128hey jbicha12:59
seb128jbicha, is that a bug that people won't get the tag change or by design?13:01
jbichathat's git upstream. I guess it's intentional13:02
seb128:(13:03
jbichawillcooke: I experience something that looks kinda like bug 1796822 if I enable automatic login in Settings > Details > Users then reboot (using VirtualBox after installing cosmic)13:03

seb128that doesn't seem important enough to be accepted now13:06
seb128could be a SRU though13:07
jbichaseb128: because it would trigger a debconf prompt for anyone who has modified those files, I don't think it's very good for an SRU13:07
jbichaor maybe it wouldn't trigger debconf, it's a strange file13:07
didrockswell, it's fine for a 0-day SRU, as it's only for updates13:11
seb128or it's fine for cosmic+113:13
seb128it's only an issue for users who sudo edit a conffile13:13

TrevinhoI also had a look in that some weeks ago14:03

jibelcyphermox, no I cannot anymore14:32
cyphermoxso I fixed your crash, but not all of them?14:33
jibelI am not sure what fixed it actually14:35
TrevinhoLaney: exactly... is it normal that we're at that point with no devices around, who should be in charge of waiting them? I wouldn't think is gdm job. is it?14:36
didrocksjbicha: are you looking at gdm3 which is stuck in proposed?14:37
didrocks(didn't look at it at all)14:37
jbichadidrocks: either we need to ignore the systemd autopkgtest or retry it until it works. I think it is more likely to pass when the amd64 autopkgtest builders aren't as busy14:38
jbichagdm was stuck for a few days because we had to handle the s390x removal again14:39
didrocksjbicha: ok, seems like you are retrying/looking at it14:39

oSoMoNbob91, that's a very vague question, are you seeing specific performance issues that you think a driver update might solve?18:39
oSoMoNnote that we have people actively working on gnome-shell performance in general18:40

TrevinhoLaney: world is strange indeed https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/PFdG0Rz4/CanGraphical.png20:15
TrevinhoAnd in fact here, with that gdm proposed change, it doesn't run. Because `sd_seat_can_graphical' will always return false.20:17
kyrofaHey kenvandine, Trevinho can you two think of a CLI hello-world-type example that I can use as a test that the new glib extension works?20:35
kyrofag_print hello world works with or without the desktop-launch stuff, so that's not quite enough to exercise it20:36
Trevinhokyrofa: by new extension you mean? like new functions?20:41
kyrofaTrevinho, new version of the desktop helpers20:41
Trevinhokyrofa: mh not sure I got it... You want to check if new version of desktop-helpers is running?20:43
Trevinhoor in general if those are running?20:43
kyrofaTrevinho, but basically, my question could be rephrased as "can you think of a hello-world type simple CLI application that verifies that the desktop-glib part works" ?20:43
Trevinhokyrofa: ok.... things like checking mime types could be a way20:43
kyrofaAh, let me give that a try, thank you20:44
Trevinhoso using gfile maybe? Or a simple gtk app?20:44
Trevinhowell gtk app as cmd line I mean20:44
Trevinholike just passing --help :)20:44
LaneyTrevinho: think you need the latest version of the branch22:11
Laneybut I'm saying (many times :P) that I'm not convinced the CanGraphical thing is the right place to be looking22:11
LaneyUNLESS the reason it goes to =no is the same reason that it's breaking sometimes22:11
LaneyI think andyrock was next going to investigate what makes it change to 'no'22:12
