dufluHi seb12807:18
seb128hey duflu, how are you today?07:18
dufluseb128, going well now. I just figured out how to fix https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/575 so that's done sooner than expected. You?07:19
gitbotGNOME issue (Merge request) 575 in mutter "Honour `CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT` more efficiently" [5. Performance, Opened]07:20
seb128I'm fine thx :)07:20
duflu(not counting the failing CI but that doesn't seem to be my fault)07:20
oSoMoNgoooood morning seb128 !07:20
didrockshey seb12807:21
seb128lut oSoMoN, didrocks, en forme ?07:22
lisgood morning everyone :)07:22
seb128guten tag lis!07:22
oSoMoNgood morning lis07:22
oSoMoNseb128, plutôt, oui07:22
seb128cool :)07:23
dufluMorning lis07:23
lisseb128, oSoMoN, duflu: hi :)07:23
seb128duflu, I think Owen did comment/follow up recently on some regression/problems created by things that got merged, what was the outcome of that? (I noticed because George thanked him for commenting on #gnome-hackers)07:24
didrocksseb128: chaudement, mais ça va07:24
seb128no revert at the end?07:24
didrockshey lis07:24
seb128didrocks, good luck, temperature dropped here, I even found a bit too cold this morning but I'm not going to complain about that :p07:25
dufluseb128, I'm not aware of anything like that. Should I be?07:25
seb128duflu, don't worry about it, if you didn't hear anything then it's probably fine :)07:27
seb128duflu, just for the record that was what Owen wrote07:28
seb128<owen>feaneron: I don't think we need to rush to revert anything - that doesn't seem like a constructive step - but if the changes in 520 are helping, they are helping for a different reason than the commit message and MR discussion indicate - and probably indicate that something else is going wrong with the master clock cycle07:28
seb128duflu, so I'm assuming that George found a problem due to !520 and was pondering reverting07:28
dufluI think they're probably wrong. I was working on that change for a year or so. But it doesn't matter if it wasn't reverted07:28
seb128right07:29
dufluAnd it is documented in immense detail07:29
seb128ah, indeed Owen commented on !52007:29
seb128'OK, I see you changed that from !281 (merged) - so that might explain why this was subsequently necessary.'07:29
dufluOh I don't track closed things07:29
seb128so all good07:29
marcustomlinsongood morning didrocks duflu oSoMoN seb128 lis07:35
seb128hey marcustomlinson, how are you today?07:35

oSoMoNhey marcustomlinson07:36
dufluhi marcustomlinson07:36
marcustomlinsonseb128: good thanks :) yourself? Overheating today again?07:36
seb128marcustomlinson, no, that went away in the night, today is 23°C :)07:36
dufluseb128, yes actually multiple MRs depend on 520 so good it wasn't reverted07:36
marcustomlinsonseb128: we've got some outrageous heat coming our way to Scotland this week. A high of 23 even!07:37
seb128haha07:37
seb128duflu, right07:37
seb128duflu, sorry to have distracted you with the question07:38
dufluseb128, also I mentioned #334 in the description which would have avoided confusion if anyone followed that link and found !28107:38
dufluThough it's complicated and I understand there will be some confusion07:39
dufluIt took me most of a year to design a solution I was happy with and to get it approved07:39
dufluAll previous attempts ended up being huge and rewriting many things07:39

marcustomlinsonoh! that sneaky little backward arrow top left08:38
seb128tkamppeter, hey, are you looking at fixing the n-m autopkgtest flakyness issue?08:40
Laneyweird, I just started writing that08:40

GunnarHjHey Laney, Yesterday I accidentally got involved in sane-backends (bug #1728012) and would have expected that package to be included in the ubuntu-desktop set. But it isn't, if I understand it correctly - only desktop-core. Is that as it should be?09:38
ubot5bug 1728012 in sane-backends (Ubuntu Bionic) "Many 3rd party scanner drivers are broken by a sane change" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/172801209:38
LaneyGunnarHj: Packages shared with Kubuntu end up there. So if that's the case, then yes.09:43
GunnarHjLaney: I see. When seeing the structure, I can think it would be a good idea to add ubuntu-desktop as an uploader of desktop-core (ubuntu-desktop is an uploader of desktop-extra).09:47
LaneyIt is on purpose historically. If you wanted to, you could discuss the situation with the DMB - I'm sure parts of it are less relevant now.09:48
GunnarHjLaney: Not sure I'm in a position to hold that discussion, since I'm one of the few ones who are affected in practice. But of course I could ask a question.09:50
LaneyGunnarHj: They might want to work out a way of allowing people to upload to desktop-core specifically. There's currently no procedure for that; everyone's just gone for core-dev instead.10:06
LaneyOr maybe the concept is obsolete and ubuntu-desktop can have those packages now10:07
* Laney isn't sure10:07
tkamppeterseb128, Laney, I am looking now into this n-m autopkg problem.10:26
tkamppeterseb128, Laney: What I have observed when debugging the script where only API discrepancies, no timing/timeout issues. I have fixed all these API problems and after that all tests passed for me and after isolated testing I have also run the complete autopkgtest and it also passed, making me putting up the branch with the fix.10:28
tkamppeterseb128, Laney, now I could only see the logs of a failure here:10:28
tkamppeterhttps://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-eoan/eoan/i386/n/network-manager/20190625_150000_e4d7f@/log.gz10:28
tkamppeterIt is a timeout in one of the tests.10:29
tkamppeterShould we perhaps make all the timeouts longer to reduce probability of failures?10:29
Laneytkamppeter: this is the kind of failure I was seeing https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/DWwWvhrty7/10:36
Laneythat might be missing synchronisation somewhere perhaps?10:42
Laneyand the i386 one --- is there any indication that the virtual AP will eventually appear?10:42
GunnarHjLaney: Sent a mail to DMB (and included you).10:52
tkamppeterLaney, for me it looks like that due to the fact that it works at least a part of the times(you can make it pass by triggering a repetition), that if it fails it not always fails at the same points, and that the emulated network (AP, router) is always the same it is most probably a timing issue and not a still missing API adaptation or so. So I would try at first by extending timeouts and/or adding delay/repetition loops.11:05
LaneyGunnarHj: Thanks11:07
Laneytkamppeter: OK then. It's better if you can positively wait for the condition that you need (AP appearing, for example) rather than simply retrying, if that's possible. (Not sure if it is)11:08
Laneyalso don't forget to look at that pastebin I gave11:09
tkamppeterLaney, my feeling for that one is that the router/AP got initiated and after that the presence of IPs checked, but too early. My suggestion here is to repeat the check of the presence of the IPs for up to ~10 times with a short delay.11:15
Laneytkamppeter: Up to you. I'm just saying that if there's a signal 'the AP just appeared' then using that to schedule the next part of the test would be more robust than doing it with timers11:23
LaneyBut I don't know this code as well as you do at this point, so ... :)11:23
tkamppeterLaney, there is something like 'the AP just appeared', but it seems not to be reliable as sometimes the next steps observes the presence of two IPs, sometimes not.11:27
tkamppeterLaney, does it often happen that the autopkgtest fails at the point which you have pasted or does it fail on different random points?11:44
=== jdstrand_ is now known as jdstrand
Laneytkamppeter: Think I only saw that one11:57
GunnarHjLaney: More on the packageset topic: I noticed that your request yesterday to add g-c-c to ubuntu-desktop had been handled, so I happily uploaded g-c-c to disco, but it was rejected. I had missed that the adjustment had not been made to the ubuntu-desktop set for disco.12:05
GunnarHjLaney: Can you help?12:05
LaneyGunnarHj: No, you need someone on the DMB to do that12:05
GunnarHjLaney: Ok. Will do.12:05
TrevinhoLaney: when you've some time could you look at https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+git/mutter/+merge/369334 ?12:08
LaneyOK, this afternoon probably12:14
TrevinhoLaney: cool thanks, I've to prepare the branches for eoan too, you can then backport those to disco I expect, right?12:16
Trevinhowell eoan + debian.. Now that I'm done with fixing the regression crashes hoepefully12:19
LaneyTrevinho: we need .2 for disco too no? is that somewhere already? i forgot12:21
TrevinhoLaney: yes12:21
Trevinhowe were blocked by regressions, so...12:22
Laneyok, this can be done at the same time probably12:23
Trevinhoprobably better .2+git stuff, but not sure if I'm fancy enough to do a snapshot instead of cherry-picking :P12:23
Trevinhoalthough now with meson is better12:24
Laneypatches is fine, put them in a Gbp-Pq: topic upstream or something to indicate12:25
lisLaney: fwiw, i rebuilt our tests container with the glib from disco-proposed and it seems to fix the issues we were seeing12:46
listhere are new issues now, of course 🤣12:47
lisbut not (obviously) glib-related12:47
dokoTrevinho: would it be possible to have the fix for 1793496 in bionic as well?13:07
seb128doko, don't ask bionic targets like that please, either rls-bb-incoming tag or find an assignee13:15
Laneylis: neat (hopefully)13:37
seb128is there a way to dump the content of a dconf db file?13:37
lisseb128: yes!13:37
lisseb128: basically, create a dconf profile that specifies the path to that file, and 'dconf dump' it13:38
lis$ echo file-db:/path/to/file > my-profile13:40
lis$ DCONF_PROFILE=`pwd/my-profile dconf dump /13:40
liserm. `pwd` obviously.  sorry.13:40
seb128lis, good tip, thx!13:42
Trevinhodoko: I can try although the patch while is provided by eoan and disco isn't upstream yet... so I might try to make you a ppa and maybe you can test if that branch fixes it as I expect14:05
dokoTrevinho: yes, I can do that. and added the task and the tag14:06
Trevinhothe problem is that the patch isn't *that* small, so... well some prudence firs :)14:07
Trevinhofirst*14:07
Trevinhodoko: please try mutter at https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-service/+archive/ubuntu/3750/+packages once built14:44
Trevinhodoko: wouldn't be bad if you could also bisect the added patches :), i.e. which one of the latest monitor-manager-* patches added is the one helping you14:44
Trevinhoyou sould be able to check it with ver few steps14:44
Trevinhoany French here could improve the test case for https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1832875 please?15:25
