[07:53] <zyga> hello
[07:55] <mvo> hey zyga
[08:11] <pstolowski> morning
[08:12] <kjackal> Hi, is there something wrong with the snap store? "error: unable to contact snap store " from my local machine and from aws when installing microk8s
[08:15] <mvo> kjackal: yeah, the store is not fully operating right now, see https://status.snapcraft.io/
[08:15] <zyga> kjackal: I'm seeing timeouts
[08:15] <pstolowski> kjackal: indeed - https://status.snapcraft.io
[08:31] <nekoseam> api.snapcraft.io is coming back up when?
[08:45] <mbeneto> Hi, is the Global Store down?
[08:47] <zyga> mbeneto: see status.snapcraft.io please
[08:49] <mbeneto> zyga: thanks, I didn't know about that
[08:52] <mup> PR snapd#6495 opened: many: collect time each task runs and display with `snap change <id>` <Created by mvo5> <https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/6495>
[09:07] <sparkiegeek> we're actively working on bringing the store back up, please be patient with us
[09:12] <zyga> sparkiegeek: thank you :)
[09:39] <mvo> zyga: did you see that the statx syscall is getting backported to libseccomp in bionic? do you think this affects us?
[09:39] <zyga> mvo: it will affect us as follows:
[09:39] <zyga> (I saw some chatter over email)
[09:40] <zyga> mvo: statx is present in the default seccomp templatte
[09:40] <zyga> mvo: statx will no longer resolve to unknown system call
[09:40] <zyga> mvo: statx will become present in seccomp profiles
[09:40] <zyga> mvo: some tests may start passing  unexpectedly
[09:41] <mvo> zyga: thanks! but no ill effects for real-world workloads except tests?
[09:42] <zyga> no, things will only be better
[09:42] <mvo> I like the sound of that :)
[09:59] <pedronis> mvo: I marked #6495 blocked because I should review older things first, I don't think it can go in as is (I'm mostly worried that is a bit premature to put this in the main commands/API)
[09:59] <mup> PR #6495: many: collect time each task runs and display with `snap change <id>` <⛔ Blocked> <Created by mvo5> <https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/6495>
[10:00] <mvo> pedronis: fair enough, would it help if I remove the client bits and move them into debug? or would you prefer to leave this all alone ?
[10:02] <pedronis> mvo: it's probably best to have a chat about this first
[10:03] <mvo> pedronis: ok
[11:02] <zyga> Chipaca, pedronis: can you please double check that this is what we want: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/bug-saves-are-blocked-to-snap-user-data-if-snap-updates-when-it-is-already-running/3226/35?u=zyga

[11:06] <zyga> FYI https://twitter.com/slpnix/status/1095640072999915520
[11:06] <zyga> pedronis: ^
[11:10] <Chipaca> zyga: what do you mean we can't return a synchronous error because we refresh assertions?
[11:11] <zyga> Chipaca: befure we  get to UpdateMany we block for a long time to do assertion refreshes
[11:11] <Chipaca> zyga: yes
[11:11] <zyga> I'm not an expert on this  part of the stack but this is what I found yesterday
[11:11] <Chipaca> zyga: but that's in the synchronous bit
[11:11] <zyga> ?
[11:12] <zyga> that is before we create tasks
[11:12] <zyga> and while the client waits for the response?
[11:12] <Chipaca> yes
[11:12] <pstolowski> hmm i'm still getting net/http: request canceled while... on api.snapcraft.io every time i run a spread test, even though status of the store is all green
[11:13] <zyga> Chipaca: that's unexpected and contrary to my assumptions about what should go where
[11:13] <Chipaca> pstolowski: yeah, store is not out of trouble yet
[11:13] <Chipaca> 'snap find' takes ages even when it works
[11:13] <Chipaca> zyga: ok
[11:13] <pstolowski> Chipaca: ack, thanks for confirming
[11:14] <Chipaca> zyga: I wasn't giving an opinion :-)
[11:14] <Chipaca> zyga: I was just stating a fact
[11:15] <Chipaca> zyga: now, ideally it would either be a lot faster, or be done in a task, but if moved to a task we lose the ability to error out entirely
[11:16] <Chipaca> the speed of refreshing assertions sucks
[11:16] <zyga> Chipaca: here I'm specifically after one aspect; gustavo wanted to have the refresh bail out synchronosuly (quickly)  when we can check that a snap is busy
[11:16] <Chipaca> zyga: yes
[11:16] <Chipaca> zyga: so check before the assertion refresh
[11:16] <pedronis> Chipaca: zyga: is something that we need to fix/improve but is not trivial and cannot be done before we have fixed other issues
[11:16] <zyga> AFAIK this is not possible today
[11:17] <Chipaca> zyga: why?
[11:17] <zyga> Chipaca: yesterday you or pedronis commented it should be even later, but perhaps I misunderstood
[11:17] <pedronis> zyga: fast is a relative concept, what is your concern?
[11:17] <zyga> Chipaca: that is  even before update is called, unless I'm missing something
[11:18] <pedronis> anything done in the sync part is considered "fast"
[11:18] <zyga> pedronis: synchronous error before we do anything
[11:18]  * pstolowski errand
[11:18] <zyga> pedronis: if I can place it before the assertion check that would be enough
[11:18] <Chipaca> zyga: if by fast you mean synchronous, snapstate.Update can and does do things before starting the change
[11:18] <pedronis> zyga: what is the problem putting it after?
[11:18] <zyga> pedronis: it's noticeably slow and feels like bad user  experience
[11:19] <pedronis> zyga: sorry, not relevant, other things are checked at that point
[11:19] <pedronis> as I said, not something we can fix *now"
[11:19] <zyga> sure, that's fine
[11:19] <zyga> so what is the design I should  pursue, is the one I drafted in the forum post acceptable?
[11:19] <Chipaca> zyga: so, as i was saying, if by fast you meant synchronous, snapstate.Update
[11:20] <pedronis> any point that is reasonable and not bug introducing is fine in Update
[11:20] <pedronis> we need to speed it up
[11:20] <zyga> ok
[11:20] <pedronis> but as I said it's orthogonal, not easy problem
[11:20] <zyga> Chipaca: I meant as in not involving any network IO but as I understand that is difficult now, we can improve it later
[11:20] <Chipaca> zyga: if by fast you meant *actually* fast, you can call something from daemon
[11:20] <Chipaca> er
[11:20] <Chipaca> zyga: you can't mean without any network io
[11:21] <Chipaca> without network you can't know if there is an update available
[11:21] <pedronis> Chipaca: please, don't suggest horrible things
[11:21] <zyga> Chipaca: yes, without any at all, if you say "snap refresh foo" you can bail out knowing that foo ruuns
[11:21] <Chipaca> zyga: there might not be any updates for foo
[11:21] <zyga> Chipaca: it obviously applies to a subset of cases
[11:21] <Chipaca> zyga: why would you bail in that case?
[11:22] <Chipaca> "close all your open windows for the update" "k" "no updates available" "HULK SMASH"
[11:22] <pedronis> let's not be silly here
[11:22] <zyga> Chipaca: I was trying to convey the discussions from cape town, in the case where you can check that nothing can be done locally, you can provide an appropriate message that teaches the uses about this mechanic
[11:23] <pedronis> zyga: I can only repeat  conceptually any point in Update is considered "fast"
[11:23] <zyga> OK
[11:23] <zyga> I think the draft I wrote now is actionable and in line with what we want
[11:24] <zyga> if you can give me a +1 on that I will carry on working towards that
[11:24] <Chipaca> pedronis: zyga: I'd suggest putting it at the top of `doUpdate`, fwiw
[11:24] <Chipaca> zyga: is the draft the forum post from where I came?
[11:24] <pedronis> Chipaca: that would be fine with me
[11:24] <zyga> Chipaca: yes, after iterating on this yesterday and today I moved all the logic into one helper that can be called from doUpdate
[11:25] <Chipaca> I somehow missed that we wanted to do this before knowing there was an update available and would like to express my concern about the ux of that
[11:25] <pedronis> Chipaca: I don't think that was the plan
[11:25] <pedronis> that doesn't make sense
[11:25] <pedronis> even
[11:25] <Chipaca> IKR
[11:25]  * pedronis -> lunch
[11:26] <zyga> hm
[11:26] <zyga> so +1 or -1?
[11:26] <pedronis> to what?
[11:26] <pedronis> checking in doUpdate ?
[11:26] <pedronis> +1
[11:26] <pedronis> afaiu right now
[11:26] <zyga> to all of https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/bug-saves-are-blocked-to-snap-user-data-if-snap-updates-when-it-is-already-running/3226/35
[11:26] <pedronis> ah, that's new
[11:27] <Chipaca> zyga: there are conceptual errors in that, which is what I opened with, so -1
[11:27] <pedronis> I need to read it :)
[11:27] <zyga> ok, please comment on it with clarifications
[11:27] <zyga> I will carry on with tests
[11:27] <zyga> the way I structured this is easy to change
[11:27] <zyga> so any changes are OK
[11:28] <Chipaca> zyga: nothing in /34 where you describe the thing implies "before checking the store for updates"
[11:32] <zyga> Chipaca: I tried to capture it in 'snap refresh s2' case
[11:32] <zyga> but I was aware of the logic around assertions so I made it clear that this is not happening
[11:49] <sparkiegeek> store is fully operational again
[11:50] <Chipaca> sparkiegeek: woo, thank you
[11:55] <sparkiegeek> Chipaca: np, repair work was handled by rest of the team
[11:56] <sparkiegeek> but if you could please give us batched assertion requests we would have a better chance of coming back up quicker :)
[12:02] <Chipaca> er
[12:02] <Chipaca> sparkiegeek: will do
[12:02]  * Chipaca puts a bow on it
[12:02] <Chipaca> or was that lipstick
[12:02] <Chipaca> eh

[12:18] <audiophilo> Hi, i'm using rhytm ferret extensively on acoustic drums. If i pick bass drum and snare drum as a reference for splitting i can have a problem when they are played at the same time by the drummer. Since it's unlikely that bass and snare are hit  at the very exact moment, rhytm ferret will create 2 very-close and unusefull regions (Attachment 1: https://imgur.com/pYpnYLd) that will create a more annoying behaviour when using P
[12:18] <audiophilo> osition -> Snap position to grid (Attachment 2: https://imgur.com/l5uwFmr). I thought that it would be great to add an option  in rhytm ferret where you can add a value in ms to determine a minimum distance from a cut to the other. Do you think this could be a nice idea?
[12:19] <Chipaca> audiophilo: are you in the right channel?
[12:20] <audiophilo> nope. LOL
[12:20] <Chipaca> audiophilo: phew

[13:51] <pstolowski> cachio: i've just run it on 16.04 (failed) and 18.04 (passed). i wonder if it's something qemu-related. it seems as unplugging and then re-plugging device back in qemu doesn't trigger the udev add event on 16.04, but i'll need to investigate this closer. qemu on 16.04 is 2.5, in 18.04 - 2.11

[18:25] <cachio> pstolowski, nice, test is passing with that change?

[18:26] <cachio> pstolowski, ah, nice, that test worked in that case
[18:28] <pstolowski> cachio: if so, then it will need more work. the snap uses strict mode by default, but it's problematic because we use /dev/tty* for our virtual devices, so i used devmode. also i'm not sure if qemu-system-i386 is supported, there snap doesn't have binary for that

[18:29] <cachio> pstolowski, ah, ok
[18:30] <cachio> pstolowski, otherwise we could continue using the current way
[18:31] <pstolowski> cachio: yes, i'll know by tomorrow if old qemu is ok
[18:40] <pstolowski> cachio: ok, 1 bug fixed and i hit another one, interesting those happened on 16.04! good! eod
[18:42] <mvo> pedronis: thank you, looking

[20:07] <t1mp> I guess that's useful, since the snapcraft docs are outdated. https://docs.snapcraft.io/debugging-building-snaps/6274 with snapcraft 3, there is no prime/ dir so those docs are not helpful
[20:09] <Wimpress> @degville ^
[20:11] <ijohnson> do we have a list anywhere of which distros enable re-exec for the core snap and which don't?
[20:14] <degville> thanks Wimpress. noted.

[20:42] <t1mp> I can no longer let my snap open a file select dialog.. :s It works fine in my (python+QtQuick) app, but after snapping it, the new dialog simply doesn't show up any more. Did anyone else encounter this?
[20:47] <Facu> Hello! I'm stuck building a snap for my project (a pure Python one: `fades`)...
[20:47] <Facu> - if I try to build it in my desktop I get another weird error ( https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/the-linker-version-2-23-used-by-the-base-core-is-incompatible-with-files-in-this-snap/7430/13 )
[20:48] <Facu> - if I try to build it in my laptop I get another weird error ( https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/error-you-must-give-at-least-one-requirement-to-install-when-building-a-snap/9946 )
[20:49] <Facu> - if I try build.snapcraft.io to build it, I go and request it manually, it appears during some seconds the row (after past builds 7 months ago) "Number: requested" and "Build trigger: Manual build", but after those seconds that row disappears and it's as if I never tried to build it
[20:49] <Facu> is there anything else I could try? thanks!
[21:06] <NickZ> Facu: the first post is outdated; lxd is no longer required for building snaps. If you specify "base: core16" or "base: core18" in your snapcraft yaml, it'll build it in a VM
[21:06] <Facu> NickZ, I should use "base: core18", as I'm in Bionic, right?
[21:06] <NickZ> yeah, if you want your snap to target bionic, you should use that
[21:07] <Facu> NickZ, I want my snap to target everything
[21:07] <NickZ> Only for the build step; it makes sure that whereever you're building this snap, it will always use the bionic packages when pulling in dependencies and building
[21:07] <NickZ> you can use it everywhere
[21:09] <Facu> it's installing multipass now :o
[21:10] <NickZ> yup
[21:17] <Facu> NickZ, it's Launching a VM (retrieving an image, it seems), so I guess that unblocked the problem
[21:27] <Facu> NickZ, aaaaaand it looks it worked :)
[21:29] <Facu> NickZ, thanks!!!

[22:53] <Odd_Bloke> I have a single shell script that I want to include in a snap that is otherwise Python-only; how do I simply copy a file from my git repo somewhere in to my snap?
[22:53] <Odd_Bloke> (I've been trying to do this with arguments to the Python plugin, but perhaps this needs to be a separate part?)
[22:53] <stgraber> Odd_Bloke: separate part using the dump plugin
[22:53] <Odd_Bloke> Thanks!
[22:54] <stgraber> you could also use an override on your existing part and then use that to cp stuff around but that's gross :)
