seb128hey Laney09:02
seb128good morning desktopers09:02
dufluHey Laney and seb12809:07
seb128hey duflu, how is the hacking going today?09:07
dufluseb128, incredibly frustrating (upstream made a few conflicts for me today) but now very fruitful. How are you?09:08
oSoMoNgood morning Laney, seb12809:08
dufluAlthough the frustration also came from community testing discussions09:08
dufluAnd it came from knowing I need to finish on time to cook dinner tonight, and will be away tomorrow. Everything is my own making in a way09:10
seb128lut oSoMoN09:14
seb128duflu, well, if things get ready friday or next week rather than today it's no big deal, we are early in the cycle and their is no freeze or anything pending, just relax and go cook dinner09:15
Laneymorning seb128 duflu oSoMoN09:21
Laneywhats up09:21
willcookemorning all09:22
dufluHi willcooke09:24
oSoMoNgood morning willcooke09:33
willcookeoSoMoN, thanks for testing with Sogou, its great to hear it works!09:33
oSoMoNyeah, I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't require any tweaking09:35
seb128hey willcooke09:44
seb128who here has an "airplane mode" key on their laptop keyboard?10:03
willcookeseb128, I have a "wifi off" button10:05
seb128willcooke, I'm not sure it's the same? it's to test/debug bug #174089410:06
ubot5bug 1740894 in xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu Cosmic) "KEY_RFKILL is not passed to userspace" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/174089410:06
seb128the xkeyboard-config SRU makes the key being handled, but apparently then getting out of airplane mode fails10:06
willcookeif I run xev I should see KEY_RFKILL right?10:07
seb128though your key might trigger the same mode10:07
willcookereading the bug10:08
seb128willcooke, well, it's easy, it's basically "using the key should toggle airplane mode on/off"10:09
seb128though the reporter here seems to have an issue where the second use doesn't success to toggle it off10:09
willcookemy key works fine, so I guess I can't reproduce10:13
seb128k, might be hardware specific10:25
seb128willcooke, thx for testing10:26
seb128Laney, ^ that mentions XPS, maybe you could give it a try see if yours behaves the same way?10:26
Laneyseb128: the rfkill key?10:32
Laneyit works, I use it often10:32
Laneymainly to toggle NM when it craps itself :-)10:33
Laneyoh yeah, I am on wayland tho10:35
Laneyhello from x10:36
Laneythe key still works, sorry :(10:36
jibelseb128, what's the naming convention for blueprints?10:53
jibelseb128, would desktop-dd-<project_name> be fine?10:56
seb128jibel, yes, that sounds fine as naming12:39
seb128Laney, weird :/ what keycode does it generate? our xkeyboard-config didn't have the definition of rkfill so it shouldn't be working12:44
seb128or maybe it's handled at the hardware level ... but g-s-d is supposed to inhibit the kernel handling12:45
Laneyhttps://paste.ubuntu.com/p/g6T7RNrtDZ/ that's what xev says12:47
seb128no KeyPress KeyRelease events, weird12:53
Laneydon't get those for other osd keys either12:54
Laneyprobably the osd grabs focus12:54
seb128the debug comments on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-settings-daemon/issues/90 have the events12:55
gitbotGNOME issue 90 in gnome-settings-daemon "Airplane mode key on Asus ZenBook Flip UX561UD laptop not working in gnome-shell 3.30 (X or Wayland) but working on console. (Ubuntu Cosmic 18.10)" [3. Not Gnome, Closed]12:55
seb128unsure what's different12:55
Laneyor g-s-d has grabbed the key or something12:55
seb128I wonder if it means g-s-d is bailing out from inhibiting the kernel handling for you12:55
seb128and so the key is being handled low level12:56
Laneywould expect to see it for volume up/down no?12:56
seb128unless it's the same and hardware handled on the xps12:56
seb128I don't remember exactly how those are working :/12:56
seb128well, thx for trying :)12:56
LaneyIf I map them to another key it still gives me the same events12:57
seb128I do get a keyrelease event here with the volume12:59
seb128but no keypress12:59
seb128weird12:59
seb128KeyRelease event, serial 38, synthetic NO, window 0x5000001,12:59
seb128    root 0xf7, subw 0x0, time 23588627, (-28,858), root:(1318,910),12:59
seb128    state 0x10, keycode 122 (keysym 0x1008ff11, XF86AudioLowerVolume), same_screen YES,12:59
seb128that's under and xorg session, not wayland12:59
Laneyi'm on xorg now12:59
seb128k13:00
seb128well I don't know enough about that stack to have a guess at the difference between the systems13:00
seb128the bug is also not that important, I'm just going to put it on the side for now13:00
seb128thx for poking though!13:00
LaneyI could see if the SRUed package makes it worse for me too13:01
seb128it would be useful to see if it creates a difference in the xev/g-s-d handling at least13:02
Laneyseems more buggy with respect to coming out of airplane mode now13:30
Laneyalso my key sends XF86WLAN now XF86RFKill, that's probably why it worked13:30
Laneys/now/not/13:30
seb128ok, so you at least confirm the regression13:34
Laneyseems so :<13:36
seb128I'm confused though13:36
seb128the diff is https://launchpadlibrarian.net/394768060/xkeyboard-config_2.23.1-1ubuntu1_2.23.1-1ubuntu1.18.10.1.diff.gz13:36
seb128it shouldn't impact on your key since the symbol it's using was already define before that change13:36
Laneyall very weird13:38
seb128yeah, exactly my though :)13:39
seb128+t13:39
andyrockLaney: do snaps have access to /run13:44
andyrock?13:44
Laneydunno13:44
andyrockLaney: otherwise the boot-id seems like a good idea but in the short-term we still that workaround13:46
Laneygood old short-term workarounds :-)13:47
seb128andyrock, jdstrand probably knows13:49
andyrockI'll keep that in mind when I'll rewrite the way canonical-livepatch updates the status file (we need that anyway)13:50
seb128oh I see you asked on #snappy13:50
seb128probably a better idea :)13:50
andyrockLaney: I know but we really want that fixed in the short-term :P13:50
jdstrandandyrock: what in /run do you want access to? (the short answer is that /run is (for the most part) /run from the host, but security policy limit what you can access there)13:51
andyrockjdstrand: yeah I got  the same answer in #snappy13:52
Laneyandyrock: sure, I didn't try to stop you fixing it13:53
LaneyI was more hinting that I bet this code still exists in 5 years13:53
Laneyit's like the curse you bring down when you call something "short term" :P13:54
andyrock😂13:58
andyrockseb128: Laney: so it looks like that we can use /run/user/0/snap.canonical-livepatch/status14:03
seb128except the issue Jamie just pointed out :p14:04
andyrockah countermand14:04
seb128well, that's an ongoing discuss/item for this cycle, if you say the status file code needs updating anyway14:05
seb128meanwhile the update-notifier "temporary" solution will do...14:05
Laneythe lifetime of that directory is not right14:05
andyrockLaney: is not per boot?14:05
seb128it's linked to the active session?14:05
Laneyyour xdg runtime directory gets removed when your last session ends14:05
seb128right, well there is no active session atm for those snaps14:06
seb128which is the issue Jamie was pointing you, /run/user/0 doesn't exist14:06
Laneyok, but it's not right even if it did14:07
seb128yeah, it should probably just be a file under /run14:08
Laneyanyway14:09
seb128yeah14:09
seb128thx for the input Laney!14:09
LaneyI usually try to propose nicer solutions if I see them14:09
Laneyoften they get ignored14:09
Laneythat is life14:09
Laneyignored / not done14:10
andyrockcan you argue that in #snappy14:10
Laneyis there an argument ongoing?14:11
Laneyif it were me I'd probably file a bug on livepatch asking if they think that is a good idea in the first place, as a first step14:12
Laneywell, assuming there is a bug tracker for that thing :P14:13
seb128no much "arguing" no, discussing potential ways to provide what is needed14:17
Laneycool14:17
seb128but yeah, at this point best in a bug report14:17
seb128andyrock, let me know the bug number once you have it filed :)14:17
Laneyit's a way to track the issue without having to spend a lot of time on it now or interrupt anyone14:17
Laneyand if you can get it on a backlog, possibly even worked on at some point ;-)14:18
seb128zyg_a says they could add access to /run/snap.<SNAP_NAME> and maybe to it for the next .114:19
Laneythat would be nice14:20
Laneyon that note, I have some avocado to eat14:20
LaneyBYE14:20
seb128s/to it/do it/14:20
seb128Laney, enjoy!14:20
Laneybig tasty14:51
willcookekenvandine, you around for a quick call with diddledan?14:56

Laneynice, that went quite smoothly16:03
Laneyhow does XDG_RUNTIME_DIR even work for snaps?16:23
Laneydo they have to make it and set up like the wayland socket and stuff themselves?16:23
* Laney read the launch script, looks like it16:25

Laneyplenty of fixes in there :/16:53
andyrock:/ is for the fixes or because it's taking to lot to release the next 3.28.x ?16:55
Laneyfixes are :D16:55

willcookeI concur17:02
seb128willcooke, bug #1797205 doesn't have many reports so far so need to SRU imho but if we do one for other fixes we can include that one17:05

andyrockkk17:07
Laneyit's in the branch, will get it naturally if we do the update17:08
Laneyin 3.30.2 even, already out17:09
andyrockjust asking because it has been in the "in review" trello list for too much17:09
andyrockmaybe we need a list "waiting for release"17:10
Laneyyou could help it along by preparing the SRU ;-)17:12
andyrockLaney: sure thing17:15
andyrocklet me prepare a mp to release in D before17:16
Laneycool17:16
Laneyshould be the same except changelog and control probably17:16
andyrockI'll do debian unstable too17:17
