didrocksgood morning07:14
dufluMorning didrocks07:22
didrockshey duflu07:24
didrockshum, 3 issues with new GNOME Shell in 2 minutes, let's reboot to see07:26
didrocksok, just 2 now :) (open a terminal shortcut work after a restart after upgrading)07:28
didrocksunsure to file them, the top panel one is obviously known, just the release hasn't been coordinated07:28
didrocksI'll still file gnome-shell-extension-gsconnect not working with new G-S07:29
didrocksnot targetting -incoming as not the default, but as we wanted to promote it…07:29
* duflu isn't sure who didrocks is talking to07:45
dufluBut yeah there are some hiccups in gnome-shell 3.31.9x07:45
didrocksduflu: the top panel is now always transparent with new G-S, no?07:46
didrocksI guessit needs a new Yaru release07:46
dufludidrocks, always opaque, never transparent you mean?07:47
dufluYeah that was an upstream decision07:47
didrockshum, it's always transparent here07:47
didrockswith Yaru07:47
dufluWeird07:47
dufluUpstream decided to make it always opaque07:47
dufluSounds like you've got some old theme settings laying around07:47
didrocksyeah, but I guess the css property that is assigned is the one which was corresponding to the transparent color in Yaru07:47
didrocksor is it always opaque for you, with Yaru?07:48
dufludidrocks, sorry you are right. My Yaru login is always transparent now07:48
didrocksah :)07:48
dufluI can't keep up with all the changes07:48
didrocksI guess it's just that the "fixed" value was the default property07:48
didrocksbut we didn't change Yaru css07:48
didrocksor this is changed in upstream Yaru07:49
didrocksbut not released yet07:49
didrocks(but yeah, I know upstream removed the dynamic transparency thingy)07:49
dufluIronically one of the most popular branches is to add a new transparency method (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/404)07:50
gitbotGNOME issue (Merge request) 404 in gnome-shell "Add transparent panel adapting to background image characteristics" [Opened]07:50
didrocksahah ;)07:50
didrocksoh you got 404, congrats!07:50
didrocksand 404 for "transparent" is an easter egg in itself :p07:50
duflu#geekjoke07:51
* duflu hugs didrocks to clarify that's not a bad thing07:52
* didrocks hugs duflu back ;)07:52
dufludidrocks, oh so the dock is always opaque for similar reasons?07:53
didrocksyep07:56
didrocksI guess it was a discussion during the day, so you probably missed it, we decided to align07:57
didrocksI thought we decided for some slight transparency though07:57
didrocksunsure what happened to this, but Trevinho would know07:57
dufluObviously the dock and panel don't match. So I assume someone will fix that07:58
dufluone way or the other07:58
dufluActually that will solve an old bug where their transparencies were slightly different07:59

tjaaltonduflu: you can reproduce bug 1767312?08:37

duflutjaalton, it was on weird old hardware. I don't know where the hardware is but am confident it's in this house08:37
tjaaltonold enough that it uses r600_dri.so and not radeonsi?08:38
* duflu shrugs08:38
tjaalton10bpc should be disabled in code for gallium drivers08:38
duflutjaalton, I can make it an evening task to get to over the next week and retest. Which release would you like me to try?08:39
tjaaltonbionic or newer08:40
tjaaltonactually r300 and up are all using gallium08:40
clobranogood morning all o/08:41
didrockshey clobrano08:41
clobranohey didrocks, how are you?08:42
didrocksclobrano: good! Yourself?08:42
clobranodidrocks: mee too, thanks :)08:43
clobranoduflu, didrocks: I didn't know about that little transparency decision for the shell top panel. There's a PR about ready that will set it totally solid08:44

didrocksIIRC08:45
didrocksbut that was Trevinho who would know more08:45
dufluclobrano, thanks :)08:45
clobranodidrocks: I see, as it was originally on 18.04 + ambiance then08:46
didrocksclobrano: exactly!08:50
clobranoout of curiosity, is there anyone using Matrix IRC bridge to chat here in ubuntu-desktop?08:56
dufludidrocks, do you need bug 1819126 to stay private?08:56
ubot5Error: Launchpad bug 1819126 could not be found08:56
Laneyyo09:02
acheronukclobrano: I see a few nicks here with the [m] suffix09:02
acheronuktesting it out on KDE channels, matrix is a bit of a pain still09:03
dufluHi Laney09:05
clobranoacheronuk: I couldn't use it much, because  the IRC bridge for the ubuntu-desktop channel (or generally for freenode) seems read only. None of my messages passed through, while it works fine with #gnome channels09:06
acheronukclobrano: just tried in here, and bridge hasn't forwarded the message yet :/09:13
acheronukit is not perfect yet09:14
acheronukor could be channel modes in here09:15
didrocksduflu: just rereviewed, nothing really private, let's open it09:16
dufluDone09:17
didrocksduflu: you know this is the "big icon size" bug which just went worse09:18

didrocksduflu: bug 181824609:20
acheronukclobrano: works in #kubuntu-devel and #kde chans, so I think that explanation makes sense. e.g. something like mode set in here so only ops see messages from users whos nicks are not registered09:20
acheronukI recall a lot of ubuntu chans set that a while back when there was massive spam09:20
clobranoacheronuk: I see, hope this can be fixed09:20

seb128:(09:48
Laneythere's loads of weird shit to check09:48
Laneyyou need to sync with sladen on it imho09:48
seb128we can try at least09:49
dufluOh, morning oSoMoN and seb12809:54

dufluseb128, a family dinner, plus infinite home improvements/chores09:55
duflufun fun09:55
dufluYou seb128?09:55
seb128we have friends over for dinner on saturday, otherwise nothing planned yet09:56
duflusounds similar09:57
seb128yeah09:59
dufluseb128, BTW your crash from yesterday is now formalised in bug 181912609:59

seb128duflu: thx10:01
dufluNight10:01
seb128Laney: k, font bug opened and sladen pinged, le('s see how that goes10:02
seb128duflu: have a nice w.e!10:02
Laneythx10:02
seb128oh, didrocks opened it but with different scenario that I had10:02
seb128it segfault that way when unlocking the screen here10:03
didrocksI guess this is triggered by any notifications from an application that doesn't have appinfo10:03
didrocksand so when size = -110:03
didrocksironically, this is now hiding the bug of "too large icon size"10:03
didrocksso, it was only a warning, but it seems Marco turned it into a segfault in mutter now10:03
seb128improvement!10:04
didrockswell10:04
didrocksI can claim the bug I was looking at is "fixed" :p10:04
seb128well, Marco fixed your issue :p10:04
didrocksexactly10:04
didrocksI guess we'll discuss this next Tuesday anyway10:05
* didrocks goes back to ubuntu-cdimage10:05
seb128I'm rls-dd-incoming it10:05
Laneythe upstream bug has a merge proposal linked, does that fix it?10:05
Laneyprobably not, just a random mention10:06
seb128Jonas said it's not likely but I didn't try yet10:06
seb128going to wait for Trevinho to comment10:07
Laneyk whatever10:07
Trevinhomorning10:10
TrevinhoAh, I also got an email about this crash...10:10
Trevinhowell, I wouldn't have been so strong in asserting it, but Jonas suggested me to assert it so I did xD10:10
Trevinhodidrocks: the reason why size -1 was considered wrong is that we can't then have a proper resource scale on it, so we decided to not allow them. And well, the crash is a good way to know about these cases xD10:14
Trevinhowhile I prefer to be more conservative, there are different ideas :)10:14
didrocksyeah, I would be on your side of more conservative10:17
didrocksbut anyway, at least, now, it's surfaced :p10:17
Trevinhoyou see :)10:17
didrocksI hope the test case helps triggering it10:17
* Trevinho relocates to coworking10:17
didrocksfunny that I spent some hours in finding a good reproducer + debug to find that was the float casting10:18
seb128good morning Trevinho10:23
Trevinhohi seb12811:06
oSoMoNricotz, hey, in case you hadn't noticed, there are packages for gcc-mozilla (trusty and xenial) in ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa that fix building firefox 65 on arm*11:07
oSoMoNricotz, hopefully that's also enough to build firefox 6611:10
oSoMoNare you looking at the armhf failures for 66, btw?11:10
ricotzoSoMoN, hi, you are kidding me?11:50
ricotzoSoMoN, I told you several times that there are gcc-mozilla 6.5.0 packages available since december, e.g. also here https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/build-support11:51
ricotzthe firefox 66 failures are not gcc related11:52
oSoMoNricotz, I know, but backporting 6.5.0 in its entirety is not needed 6.4.0 + that patch is enough11:52
ricotzI see, do as you like11:54
ricotzI am currently not looking into the 66 failures11:55
oSoMoNok, I'll have a look at those, then11:56
ricotzthanks11:58
seb128Laney: could you look at bug #1819103? I had it to check on my backlog because I saw it mentioned on other reports/forums before but now we have a proper report11:59
ubot5bug 1819103 in indicator-application (Ubuntu) "Indicator Application and indicator-applet does not show indicators" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/181910312:00
seb128it looks like having indicator-application installed on the system somewhat conflicts with the gnome-shell extension12:00
seb128dunno if they fight for the same dbus name or what12:00
Laneyguess so, I don't know how that stuff works but I can look if you want12:02
seb128that would be nice, thx12:03
Laneysomething wrong with using rls process for that one, ooi?12:10
seb128I guess we can12:11
seb128it's one of those bugs where I don't know if it's important enough to be rls handled12:11
Laneyno need, just wondering if there is some case for skipping it12:11
seb128but I guess if it's important enough for me to ask you to own it, then it's important enough to be tracked by our process12:11
LaneyI don't reproduce this on disco12:14
Laneydo you?12:14
seb128let me try12:16
Laneyhttps://people.canonical.com/~laney/weird-things/wfm.png12:17
seb128I installed it and did a shell reload, it's still there12:19
seb128let me restart my session12:19
seb128Laney: after installing indicator-application and restarting my session I don't get the transmission icon anymore12:26

seb128yes12:26
seb128journal has12:27
seb128gnome-shell[15942]: [AppIndicatorSupport-WARN] Failed to acquire org.kde.StatusNotifierWatcher12:27
seb128which I guess is the issue12:27
seb128it's a race who owns the dbus name first12:27
Laneysounds like it could be racy12:27
seb128unsure how we can fix it, out of renaming out or making them conflct :/12:27
Laneyjust don't make indicator-application autostart in gnome12:29
seb128oh, good point, I though it would be dbus activated or something but there is an autostart12:32
seb128having in OnlyShowIn=Unity makes sense I guess12:33
Laneycan't be dbus-activated, otherwise they would conflict over the .service file12:33
seb128right12:33
Laneydoes it have GNOME in there because of gnome-panel?12:34
seb128I don't remember the specifics now :/12:36
seb128AutostartCondition=GNOME3 unless-session gnome12:36
seb128how does that work again?12:37
Laney$DESKTOP_SESSION12:38
Laneycould add a second one with ubuntu there12:38
Laney(probably)12:38
seb128but then the first on would still trigger?12:45
Laneydunno, need to see12:47
LaneyNotShowIn=ubuntu; it is13:07

kenvandinemvo: did you look into the help url issue?15:35
mvokenvandine: I haven't yet, let me do so now15:44
mvokenvandine: whats the easiest way for me to reproduce?15:44
kenvandinemvo: well i actually can't reproduce it today :)15:45
kenvandineon disco, as we no longer have the menu in the panel15:45
seb128the lcy wifi is crap, keeps required you to reauth15:45
kenvandinei was seeing it on the seeded snaps15:45
kenvandinemvo: if you are on cosmic or bionic, open gnome-calculator and click help in the menu15:45
kenvandinemvo: the core18 snaps actually seem fine15:47
kenvandinebut  we haven't published core18 versions of the seeded snaps yet15:47
mvokenvandine: oh, interessting. so core18 works as expected but not "core" ?15:49
kenvandineyeah, apparently :)15:50
kenvandinei was only testing the seeded snaps the other day15:50
mvokenvandine: is clicking on "help" on e.g. stable edit enough?15:50
mvo*stable gedit15:50
kenvandineand now the version of gnome-shell in disco doesn't provide a menu in the panel15:50
kenvandinegedit is core1815:51
kenvandinegnome-calculator from stable should be a good test15:51
kenvandinemvo: the only snaps we have that haven't been updated to core18 are the seeded ones15:52
jbichakenvandine: what version of snapd of whatever do I need to use to try the core18 help feature?15:53
kenvandinemvo: which version was that released in? 2.37.4 maybe?15:54
jbicha'cause I'm on disco and it doesn't seem to work15:55
kenvandineoh, interesting15:55
