jibelYeah, the trip was uneventful05:05
jibelAlthough I'll avoid a connection in Shanghai next time, this airport is huge05:06

willcookeooof05:08
willcookeI had about 3 hours in KL which was enough time to find the gate, find a bar and get some sit-down dinner, do a bit of shopping and get to the gate early05:09
willcookeThe 13 hours home was literally a PITA.  The seat was very uncomfortable05:10

willcookeUbiquiti wifi APs... do they **need** a POE injector05:10
willcookeduflu, BA.  I hate them now.05:10
jibellike any long trip it's like your seated on a piece of wood after several hours05:11
willcookeI think my butt hole healed over05:11

jibelwillcooke, the AP is connected to the power supply with an ethernet cable so you can use a long one if the wall socket if far from where you want to place the antenna05:14

pieqHello everyone!06:57
pieqDoes anyone here know who is in charge of snapcrafting Musescore? (https://snapcraft.io/musescore) I looked on their website and in the source code, but there is no trace of debian packaging recipes nor snapcraft.yaml...06:58
didrockshey pieq. I don't really know but snap info musescore says that MuseScore is the publisher, so sounds like upstream itself. Maybe popey would know (and this could be discussed on #snappy or snapcraft.io forum)07:02
jameshpieq: it looks like the user "pachulo" on the snapcraft forum is responsible for it: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-musescore-v3-0-1/958607:04
jameshyou could try messaging him there07:04

seb128hey duflu, how are you?07:10
dufluseb128, I am good. Still feeling behind schedule though so I will finish that doc for you today07:11
dufluHow are you seb128?07:11
dufluIt was a perfect storm having the release, Easter and ANZAC day all around the same time07:11
seb128duflu, don't worry, the others didn't write/their sent me anything yet either, there is no hurry07:11
willcookeduflu, ha, good point07:12
dufluseb128, are we going to release 3.32.1 to disco?07:12
seb128duflu, disco is done, we are going to SRU the .1 that make sense for a SRU though07:12
dufluYes, SRU07:12
seb128which probably mean skipping tarballs that only ship translations updates (not very useful since we strip those out to langpack but in practice we don't do langpack updates on non LTS)07:13
seb128but I guess you are more interested by the gnoe-shell stack, I expect we do SRUs for that yes07:13
pieqwillcooke, glad to know you made it back easily (albeit not comfortably)07:14
willcookepieq, Got off the plane in to 8 degrees c.  cccccccold07:14

jibelIs there a way to trigger an action on a kernel panic or a specific driver crash?07:23
jibelin my case nouveau07:23
pieqhey jibel, I see you're enjoying the testing laptop already :)07:29
pieqjibel, what kind of action do you want to trigger?07:30
jibelpieq, just display a message on the console saying to boot in "safe graphics" mode07:33
jibelcurrently it hangs when the GUI session comes up07:34
seb128willcooke, jamesh, kenvandine, unsure if we keep a list of desktopish snap problem, but https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/mpris-can-not-be-used-with-snaps/11119/ should probably be on it07:42
seb128ah, there were comments but I didn't see those via emails because the topic was moved to another section07:43
willcookeodd, because e.g. spotify works.  Could be a problem with the snap itself07:43
jameshseb128: looking07:43
jameshwillcooke: this seems to be about controlling music apps via D-Bus: it wouldn't stop the music app itself working07:45

willcookejamesh, well, actually, I /think/ that's what I mean.  Could be different paths sttill07:49
jameshwillcooke: on a second read of the thread, it sounds like this is an additional constraint imposed by KDE rather than something in the MPRIS spec itself.  This isn't the only case of snapd's desktop file naming policy causing problems though07:50
jameshthere aren't obvious simple solutions though.07:51
jameshit's trying to link a MPRIS bus name back to the associated application .desktop file.07:53

jibeltseliot, Hey do you know if nvidia-detector is used by anything?08:48
jibelit's broken but it doesn't seem to be used anywhere (I checked in the installer and software-properties)08:49
tseliotjibel: I don't think it is any more. I am leaving it there just because we might want to use something like that (in the future) when performing dist-upgrades (to migrate drivers)08:54
jibeltseliot, okay, I'll fix it then, I may use it in the installer.08:56
tseliotok08:56
jibeltseliot, also I filled bug 182684408:57
ubot5`bug 1826844 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-390 (Ubuntu) "nvidia-drivers-* are not on the ISO" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/182684408:57
jibeltseliot, could you have a look?08:57
jibelI think they should be on ship-live08:58
jibelbut not sure if there is licensing issues08:58
tseliotjibel: is that on the Ubuntu installer?08:58
jibelyes08:58
tseliotjibel: the nvidia drivers are in restricted, so, as long as restricted is enabled, it should work08:59
dufluOh my. 19.10 isos already09:04
jibeltseliot, not is there is no network09:21
jibelif*09:21
tseliotjibel: are the codecs on the iso? If not, we should probably disable the checkbox09:22
jibeltseliot, no but it's less important IMHO, if the user doesn't install proprietary drivers the system may not work after installation because nouveau doesn't support the card09:23
tjaaltonjibel: how would it boot the installer then?09:23
jibeltjaalton, in safe graphics mode09:23
tjaaltonif nomodeset is used it'll get carried over to the installed system09:24
tjaaltonor should, aiui09:24
jibelah, let me check09:24
dufluYes, I still see bug reports from users about that09:24
jibeltjaalton, no it is no09:24
jibelt09:24
tjaaltonok09:24
seb128duflu, 'that' being?09:25
tjaaltonsounds like a bug09:25
dufluseb128, if you installed with 'nomodeset' then you get it stuck on. Meaning low res graphics09:25
seb128duflu, even if you enable nvidia drivers post install?09:26
seb128if so that sounds like something ubuntu-drives should handle09:26
dufluseb128, I don't think that's relevant because Nvidia doesn't support 'modeset' by default :)09:26
dufluBut it would be relevant if someone tried to go back to nouveai09:26
duflunouveau09:27
tjaaltoncan't make everyone happy09:27
tseliotjibel: including the nvidia drivers in the image (as in "in the pool")  wouldn't be a problem, legally speaking, since the kernel modules wouldn't be built, unless the user tries to install them09:27
jibeli'm preparing a doc that summarizes all of this, I'll mention nomodeset not being carried over.09:28
dufluI guess it's not a common problem. It's only going to happen for "new" GPUs that nouveau can't handle, and other more rare vendors09:29
tseliotubuntu-drivers could remove "nomodeset", if needed. As duflu said, though, we don't really enable modesetting for nvidia, except for hybrid graphics09:30
duflutseliot, FYI I am tracking issues with that, so don't recommend enabling it by default... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=nvidia-drm.modeset09:31
jibelduflu, I've a laptop with an mx150, so not super fancy stuff, and it doesn't boot with nouveau09:32
tseliotduflu: yes, I definitely won't do that ;)09:33
tseliotbut thanks for tracking that09:33
duflujibel, I know that's not very new, but in terms of nouveau it is09:33
dufluwhich probably sounds confusing to a French speaker09:34
duflu:)09:34

dufluYeah, I think more developers need to be willing to make up new words09:35

zygaseb128: note that this is using a spinning-rust-hdd, not ssd, so perhaps it is a race of some sort15:30
seb128zyga, the bug you mentioned there is about the keyring not being unlocked on logging which leads to get prompted again for your login password in the session when something tries to access it15:33
seb128zyga, your description following sounds different then15:34
zygayeah, that's not the bug, seems like a red herring15:34

seb128oSoMoN, thx for geoloc key email, btw I just tried and get the error atm while I didn't like an hour ago16:31
seb128so I guess we reach the number of requests around mid afternoon16:31
oSoMoNseb128, ack, thanks for testing/confirming. Getting our own key would only mitigate the issue, not fix it for good, but I hope they offer some sort of monitoring for API key owners so that we get a rough picture of how many requests we're dealing with16:33
seb128right16:34
seb128and maybe we can convince them to give us an higher quota16:34
