dufluPing Trevinho?05:13
Trevinhoduflu: in bed now... 😅05:17
dufluUmm kay05:17
dufluShould I recommend you go to sleep?05:17
dufluTrevinho, if you're online could you please attach proper labels to these?  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests?scope=all&state=opened&search=%22%5Bperformance%5D%22 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests?scope=all&state=opened&search=%22%5Bperformance%5D%2205:18
dufluTrevinho, go to sleep :)05:39
dufluelse, please also look at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests?scope=all&state=opened&search=%22%5Bperformance%5D%2205:39
dufluRAOF: What are the build deps for EGLStreams? mutter seems to think it's not present and not configurable and I can't tell why05:59
RAOFThe relevant symbols are in `libnvidia-egl-wayland`06:01
RAOF(or maybe `-wayland-egl`, I forget which order)06:02
RAOFIf mutter wants to resolve them at link time.06:02
dufluI think it's just the pkgconfig missing06:04
dufluSeems to be on github. In archive somewhere?06:04
RAOFYou might just need to manually manufacture a `.so` symlink? There's no development symlink in the packages, AFAIK)06:04
dufluI ask because I was pleasantly surprised to find turning on Nvidia KMS support just works. But then you're actually using LLVM and not the Nvidia driver for GL06:06
dufluMaybe doesn't matter. My main goal was to offer users workaround instructions and rebuilding things makes that less then feasible06:08
duflualso less than feasible06:08
RAOFRight06:08
duflustupid dyslexic keyboard06:08
RAOFI should actually file that bug.06:08
RAOFSelecting Wayland on llvmpipe over X on NVIDIA is not the best decision 😀06:09
dufluUnless you're trying to get around a bug in their X driver06:09
RAOFThen you should use X and fbdev06:10
dufluThe Nvidia X driver is so bad that actually LLVMpipe on Nvidia KMS feels much more responsive06:10
RAOFThat's not true06:11
dufluI'm using it right now and it's solved my immediate performance concerns I had with Nvidia proper on X06:11
RAOFAt least in my systems06:11
dufluInteractive performance, not GL benchmarks06:11
RAOFMaybe your NVIDIA install is busted?06:12
dufluNo. I was reproducing an Nvidia X bug that other people had described. I didn't just find it myself06:12
RAOFHuh. Which bug?06:13
dufluRAOF: The discussions started upstream so I just logged the LP bug 179967906:16
ubot5Launchpad bug 1799679 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) "Nvidia driver causes Xorg to use 100% CPU, but only when dragging glxgears, or any window over glxgears" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/179967906:16
RAOFHuh, interesting06:17
RAOFI guess that's why I find NVIDIA+X significantly better at interactive performance than llvmpipe+Wayland06:18
RAOFI don't routinely drag glxgears around 😛06:19
dufluAlso frustrating that LLVMpipe on top of Nvidia KMS performs better than i965 on top of Intel KMS06:22
RAOFThat implies that llvmpipe performs better than i965 on Intel.06:23
RAOFWhich seems like a bold call.06:23
dufluSmoother, but uses all the CPU06:24
dufluMaybe that's why - it's now thottled up.06:24
RAOFDo you just need to tweak the CPU governer? 🤔06:25

oSoMoNhey duflu07:02
oSoMoNspam on the Ubuntu Community Hub, and there doesn't appear to be an option to flag a thread as spam07:03

oSoMoNpopey, is there a way to flag a thread on the community hub as spam?07:05
didrockshey oSoMoN07:14
dufluI really never expected to have to build my own Xorg again when working on gnome-shell07:15

Nafalloit is very much morning I think...07:26
seb128hey there, good morning desktopers07:46
oSoMoNsalut seb12807:47
seb128oSoMoN, didrocks, can anyone flag anything as spam? last time I asked willcooke to delete the post/spam07:48
didrocksI guess that's the flag thing which warns admin07:49
seb128Trevinho commented on trello 3 hours ago, so he was up very earlier so went to bed very late07:50
didrocksas usual? :p07:51
oSoMoNdoes Trevin_ho ever sleep?07:52
oSoMoNseb128, yes, I was able to flag the thread as spam, not sure who will be notified and act on it though, guessing po_pey and other admins07:52
seb128k, so that just flag, doesn't automatically lead to have it deleted or anything07:53
seb128that makes sense07:53
dufluMorning seb128. Marco just went to bed recently07:55
dufluUmm, not here, but in IRC :)07:55

ricotzhey desktopers08:36
ricotzLaney, hi, did you report the glib package issue in bionic-proposed somehow?08:36
LaneyI didn't find one, did you?08:37
ricotzI assume this is simply launchpads fault08:37
ricotzit works locally08:37
Laneyno idea, I haven't really looked I'm afraid08:38
Laneyif we see it causing a problem in the real archive someone will have to then I guess08:38
ricotzthe package was build in -proposed and not binary-copied from somewhere?08:38
Laneythat is right08:39
Laneyricotz: btw we do have https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python3-stdlib-extensions/+bug/1799764 in bionic-proposed at the minunte08:45

Laneyso if we end up pulling python3 (some of the glib scripts are python3) it might be affected by that08:45
Laneywould expect that to be reproducible in a chroot08:45

seb128good morning Marco12:18
Trevinhohi seb12:18
seb128good work figuring out a fix for the double tap issue :)12:18
Trevinhoseb128: I got my 2nd laptop happly working without adding a new distro (it's my "couch" one, still running in xenial :-D)... I just used a cosmic schroot + my gnome tree and everything worked (or don't worked) as properly :)12:20
seb128nice one :)12:23

didrockshum, Trevinho may have broken Yaru :p13:14
didrocksI bet commit 5b3ff7184eab6c128528a7cdc7b42b2636a6d02213:14
didrocks(in the Shell)13:14
didrocksand I deadlock the Shell as seb128 did yesterday (with alt+F2)13:21
didrocks(and crashed)13:23
seb128combo!13:23
didrockswell, Xorg crashed13:23
didrockswhen switching tty13:24
seb128what's the yaru issue?13:24
seb128it must be subtle, we didn't notice/saw reports before getting 18.10 out and that commit was a while ago13:24
didrocksthe dock css now overrides the theme one13:24
didrocksyeah, it's subtle, but some overridden properties aren't overridden anymore13:25
didrocksI didn't notice it, the most "obvious" one is that the badge border is green13:25
didrockswhen the badge itself is red13:25
seb128ah13:25
didrocksyeah, subtle :)13:25
didrocksbut something to fix in d, at least, can be workarounded in cosmic13:25
didrocksbut it's a change of behavior on the Shell side13:26
didrocksok, readlock the Shell13:26
didrockshumg13:27
didrockschanged tty, Xorg recrashed… grrrrr13:28
didrockssounds like you can't edit a stylesheet and reload anymore13:28
didrocksTrevinho: confirming? ^ this is where you did some changes on the Shell (to unreference stylesheets on reload)13:28
andyrockseb128: seb128 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/273 this should fix the keyring problem13:29
gitbotGNOME issue (Merge request) 273 in gnome-shell "popupMenu: Promptly close the menu if grab fails" [Opened]13:29
seb128didrocks, ^13:29
seb128andyrock, thx :)13:29
didrocksTrevinho: put something invalid in it -> alt+f2 -> rt -> deadlock13:29
Trevinhomh...13:30
Trevinhodidrocks: yeah we know it andyrock and I were looking at it13:30
didrockswhich is exactly where you modified the code :p13:30
Trevinhodidrocks: we've 2 mp for that13:30
didrocksso unsure if it's the same than seb12813:30
didrocksah, same ?13:30
andyrockdidrocks: context?13:30
andyrockah rt in alt+f213:30
andyrock?13:30
seb128didrocks, you lock it by creating an invalid stylesheet and doing rt?13:30
Trevinhoyep13:30
didrocksseb128: right13:31
didrocksused to "work" as just disabling the invalid stylesheet13:31
seb128but it's only if the stylesheet is invalid?13:31
seb128k13:31
didrocks(yes "red" is invalid in Shell css…)13:31
seb128a bug but shouldn't impact many users hopefully13:31
didrocksseb128: oh not at all, but a regression in 3.3013:31
seb128right13:31
didrocksand I blame Trevinho on that part of the code modified in August :p13:32
didrocks(and probably this is what occured the css application order difference)13:32
andyrockTrevinho: it's actually a different issue13:32
andyrockI'm working on the --replace stuff13:32
Trevinhowait let me focus better, I'm in other lands of code now13:33
didrocksand if you replace the stylesheet content with valid css; alt+f2 -> rt -> changes aren't loaded :/13:34
seb128that doesn't seem urgent, worth a bug to put in the backlog but not needing to hihack other started work13:34
seb128:(13:35
didrocksseb128: right, just that we had someone on the team making that specific changes, sounds logical to just make him aware :)13:35
seb128andyrock, btw are you still working on that snapd-glib/g-s invalid read bug? Robert commented bailing out basically saying he has no idea about the issue13:35
didrocksbut annoying, wondering how that was tested, and will surely slowing me down to fix the "Yaru issue"13:35
seb128didrocks, indeed13:35
didrocksas I will have to restart the session for each changes13:35
seb128"r" doesn't work either?13:36
seb128I mean reloading the shell13:36
seb128it's a bigger hammer but less big than a session reload13:36
didrocksah, good point, let me try13:36
andyrockseb128: I was working on the gnome-shell --replace bug13:37
didrocksyeah, big hammer work. I work on this at least, thanks seb128 :)13:37
seb128yw!13:37
didrocksstill worth debugging (or even revert) changes that impacted that upstream13:37
andyrockseb128: I didn't see any reports on errors.ubuntu.com so maybe the snapd-glib can wait13:37
andyrock?13:37
seb128andyrock, k, that's fine, I was just wondering if you still had the snapd-glib thing on your list or were letting it to Robert13:37
seb128andyrock, it can for sure13:38
seb128I just don't want the bug to be un-owned13:38
andyrocksure I'll take care of it13:38
seb128also it's an invalid read, so you didn't see any obvious report but it might be leading to other segfaults that get reported13:38
seb128thx13:38
GunnarHjHi seb128, saw the xkeyboard-config upload in the queues. Is it important enough to justify those SRUs? Asking because people often customize their keyboards by editing files in /usr/share/X11/xkb.13:38
seb128GunnarHj, it's an oem request so I would think yes13:39
seb128GunnarHj, doing /usr direct edit is not a good idea...13:39
GunnarHjseb128: Not a good idea in general, but xkb-data does unfortunately not offer a sensible method for user customization, so we generally avoid SRUs of it. But ok, the OEM request may carry greater weight.13:42
seb128GunnarHj, it's the first time I see that issue/rule mentioned, is that documented somewhere than usually we avoid SRUs?13:46
seb128GunnarHj, also those users could/should build a patched version and pin the package if that's what they want13:46
seb128GunnarHj, not that those customisation go away on upgrade between Ubuntu version in any case since usually we do update that package when new versions are out, and the users who do tweak it know how to redo it13:47
Trevinhook sorry I had to focus for https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/272#note_35346513:57
gitbotGNOME issue (Merge request) 272 in gnome-shell "st-button: Ignore pointer emulated touch events" [Opened]13:57
Trevinhodidrocks: ah, I see... Well, honestly theme making is still something less priority than instead having shell crashing and we don't know why, that's why I added that... like I wouldn't have find  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1789421 in a second without that change (as the stacktrace was basically say nothing instead)13:59
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1789421 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "No theme in ubiquity-dm: Error: No valid stylesheet found for 'ubuntu.css'" [High,Fix released]13:59
Trevinhobut indeed we should fix it by making sure we behave correctly and don't give false positives14:00
didrocksTrevinho: yeah, at least that it doesn't deadlock the Shell in 3.3214:00
GunnarHjseb128: Not a documented 'rule', just the way I have tried to handle it. (I've been involved in the latest updates of that package.) But yes, the package is usually updated anyway when people upgrade Ubuntu version, so yes, they should know how to handle it.14:01
willcooke_morning all14:15
willcooke_jibel, did you see this on the hub?  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/problems-to-add-chinese-layout-to-ubuntu-18-04/852914:16
willcooke_if you get a chance, could you see if you can recreate?14:16
jibelwillcooke_, I saw it but didn't try to reproduce. I will14:19
seb128hey willcooke_14:19
seb128willcooke_, fcitx is not supported by GNOME or working under wayland (which is only part of the problems he describes)14:20
seb128i would start by asking for a proper report, info about the desktop environment he's using and system logs14:21
willcooke_seb128, jibel I'll reply and ask for a proper bug report14:22
jibelseb128, it shoudn't break the session though?14:23
jibelwillcooke_, nvm, I'll handle it if you have better things to do14:23
seb128jibel, right, and I doubt it does14:23
seb128that bug seems like a low quality report of "something is wrong on my system"14:24
jibelyup14:24
seb128I doubt that you are going to end up in that state by adding those layout14:24
seb128but it's worth trying14:24
seb128hum14:25
willcooke_oki, thanks jibel14:26
seb128does anyone know what the "Notifications" switch in the right pane of gitlab does on a MR view, is that to subscribe the MR?14:26
Laneythink so14:26
seb128thx Laney14:26
seb128there is no mouseover tooltip or anything, I was unsure if I was changing a setting on the MR itself or for me14:27
seb128like that column also has things like labels and assignee so it looked like MR related settings, not personal ones14:27
seb128it's a bit confusing14:27
willcooke_oSoMoN, Can you help me understand something.  I'm looking at ARM64 packages (a story for another day) and I looked at rmadison: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rtNZRybdMw/14:27
willcooke_oSoMoN, I see version 6.0.6 in bionic-updates/universe14:27
willcooke_oSoMoN, is that the "fresh" packages or something like that?14:28
willcooke_ie. whats in universe?14:28
willcooke_I dont think I understand how to read that output14:28
Laneythat is libreoffice the metapackage14:28
Laneyif you pass rmadison -S then you see all the binary packages from that source14:28
willcooke_ah ace, thanks Laney14:28
oSoMoNyeah, libreoffice is in universe14:28
oSoMoNlibreoffice-{writer,calc,draw,…} are in main14:28
willcooke_ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh14:29

Laneyvarious flags available14:29

Laneydoes have one here14:33
kenvandineseb128: we can't win... if i force the app icon we don't get the themed icon14:33
seb128willcooke_, kenvandine, also stable channel has 3.29.91 ...14:33
seb128why no 3.30?14:34
Laneyhahaha14:34
Laneypoor ken14:34
kenvandinebut the themed icon name doesn't exist in the theme provided in bionic14:34
kenvandine3.30 hadn't been tagged when i updated them all14:35
kenvandineit was behind iirc14:35
seb128well, now it's there and we updated the deb before cosmic was out :)14:35
seb128the icon situation thing sucks14:35
kenvandineyeah, 3.30 was just tagged 2 weeks ago14:35
seb128blame the yaru people for complaining about not having their themed icon14:35
seb128:/14:35
kenvandineyeah14:36
kenvandinebut it does look much better on cosmic that way14:36
seb128I think having an icon on the LTS is more important than having a themed one is cosmic14:36
kenvandinebut i think our best bet for the short term is to use the app icon14:36
kenvandineyes14:36
kenvandinei think characters is the only problematic one14:36

Laneyis that a seeded one?14:41
seb128yes14:41
LaneyI installed it manually anyway14:41
Laneywasn't on that system14:41
seb128weird14:41

LaneyLUCKY ME!14:52
kenvandineseb128: i updated characters to 3.30 too15:34
kenvandineseb128: so i want to SRU the uuid fccache change for fontconfig to bionic15:43
kenvandineso we can build snaps right from bionic proper15:43
kenvandineseb128: what do you think about an SRU of 2.13.0 instead of just picking that change as a patch?15:44
kenvandinei looked at just that patch, but there have been a number of little bug fixes since then related to the same code15:44
kenvandinethat are all in 2.1315:44
kenvandineseb128: once we do that we can really look at building snaps with core18/bionic instead of the backports and xenial15:46
Trevinhowillcooke_: to me? Or Ken...15:56
TrevinhoI see is already fixed..15:56
willcookesorry Trevinho, I meant "Trello" ;D16:11
Trevinhoahah16:50
=== Class7_ is now known as Class7
seb128kenvandine, it's tricky, font rendering is a complex topic and it's not impossible that the update creates problems or difference in rendering/fonts selection19:40
seb128it's the sort of SRU that makes me nervous19:40
kenvandineseb128: i know... but it helps keep snaps fast to start :)19:41
kenvandinewe could do some more extensive testing19:41
seb128right, I understand that19:41
seb128pass it by the SRU team for opinions?19:41
kenvandinebtw, we've built some snaps based on bionic and core18 :-D19:41
kenvandineall working very well19:41
seb128or maybe ask Steve if he's around, maybe he has an opinion19:41
kenvandinebut we need this before we can move forward19:42
kenvandinesure19:42
seb128he maintains freetype19:42
kenvandineoh really19:42
kenvandinei had no idea19:42
seb128:)19:42
seb128well, you could have a bionic backport ppa with that19:42
seb128no?19:42
kenvandineseb128: i don't want to require a PPA20:01
kenvandineseb128: i want other snap packagers to just get the right thing20:01
kenvandineuntil we have the build snap20:01
kenvandinewhich will solve all the problems :)20:01
seb128right20:01
kenvandinei'll talk to steve20:02
seb128I meant that you don't need to "block on that" to migrate to build on bionic20:02
seb128bionic with ppa would still be better than xenial with larger ppa20:03
