willcookeI thought it was Friday today08:00
dufluMorning willcooke08:01
willcookeUrgh.  28 in my office and it's only 093508:35
didrockswillcooke: 28.8 here! But all closed since 8am08:49
willcooke:((((08:49
didrocks3rd days it's 39-40 max outside08:49
didrocksstill tomorrow and then, we are losing 10 degres on Saturday, finally08:50
oSoMoNwillcooke, it definitely feels like a Friday09:05
* didrocks can make it a Friday if you want :)09:06
oSoMoNshall I prepare a SRU for bug #1837437 ?09:08
ubot5bug 1837437 in libblockdev (Ubuntu Disco) "disk content permanently lost when changing LUKS password" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/183743709:08
willcookeoSoMoN, ooooh, yes please.  Thank you!09:21
didrocksxnox: hey, do you mind pushing your grub2 upload to the git branch? Thx!10:10
didrockscyphermox: hum, our grub zfs patch was split in multiple patches, to mirror 10_linux split, with for instance ubuntu recovery in a separate patch and so on… It's not the case anymore, was that on purpose?10:36
oSoMoNwillcooke, I attached a debdiff to the bug report, need someone to sponsor it10:40
didrocksalso, some part staged in git has been removed and push -f with the merge10:40
oSoMoNI'll update the bug description to the SRU format in a moment10:41
didrocksthe goal with to separate the upstreamable part with the ubuntu specific things, like in 10_linux, hence the split in 6 patches, but it's all lost now :/10:43
xnoxdidrocks999:  hmmmm yes....13:29
xnoxdidrocks999:  let me try to find it.13:29
didrocks999thx!13:31
=== didrocks999 is now known as didrocks
xnoxdidrocks:  it uses that weird thing for patches right?13:31
didrocksxnox: git dpm yeah13:31
didrocks(which is better than gbp IMHO)13:31
didrockshaving used both :p13:32
xnoxdidrocks:  but also abandoned and not maintained anymore13:32
xnox(or at least it was at one point)13:32
* didrocks almost generalized that to most of tools we are using :)13:32
markmorlinoIs this a good place to ask a gnome/gdm/greeter desktop login configuration question?13:34
didrocksmarkmorlino: this is more a developer channel, for support, it's more #ubuntu13:35
markmorlinothanks didrocks13:35
didrocksyw :)13:35
xnoxdidrocks:  git-dpm import-dsc generated 89 commits, which seems.... odd.... unless that is normal....13:46
didrocksxnox: hum, I think you need git dpm apply-patch rather, but cyphermox can confirm, he's using dpm more than I do13:47
cyphermoxwat14:55
cyphermoxdidrocks: the undo of the split was on purpose, yes14:56
cyphermoxit's easier for me to merge it that way, and we'll upstream everything (none of this is ubuntu specific)14:56
cyphermoxxnox: you shouldn't need import-dsc? what were you trying to do?14:56
didrockscyphermox: the patches like "recovery" and so on in 10_linux are ubuntu specific15:19
didrockscyphermox: and we lost the staged changes15:19
didrockslike the awk -> shell rewrite15:20
didrockssounds like a git push -f was done15:20
didrockswe did spend a long time splitting on purpose for maintainability and upstreamability, would have been good to talk before taking decision of flattening it15:21
didrocksand to be able to upstream, we'll have to split it back now15:21
didrocks(+ readd what was erased)15:21
cyphermoxdidrocks: I don't think so; it'll be fine, and I'll handle this myself15:23
cyphermoxie. some of it would actually be good to have in Debian anyway, modulo some very small pieces15:23
cyphermoxso; what part was lost?15:23
cyphermoxworst case, we can pick things back up from LP directly, the patches should apply cleanly if simply replaced by the old ones (ie. a rebase, I can do if necessary)15:24
cyphermoxgrub merges are no fun, I'm doing the best I can with the number of changes upstream, in debian, and our patches15:25
didrockscyphermox: well, we plan to upstream most of it, but not the ubuntu specific part15:25
didrockswhich is we the split15:26
didrocksthe part that is lost are staged changes in the git repo15:26
didrockswhich was removed, because git push -f15:26
didrocks(I guess)15:26
cyphermoxwell, yeah, but I disagree with the need to split to be able to upstream things, it's irrelevant when I'll be merging things upstream myself next week (I just need a quick pause from my move)15:27
didrockswe had a changelog describing the changes we introduced, which was:https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/sYWz4fBjtp/15:27
didrocks4 days of work15:27
didrockscyphermox: so, why do we have the 10_linux changes split?15:27
didrockscyphermox: I guess it's either both are split, or either both are in a single patch15:27
didrocksand what about the change above? ^15:28
cyphermoxlet's back up for a sec15:29
cyphermoxare the changes currently in eoan good?15:29
didrocksno15:30
didrocksthey were only staged in the grub git repo15:30
didrocksto not screw up your merge15:30
cyphermoxoh, you mean they were staged and not uploaded?15:31
cyphermoxwe might have been pushing right around the same moment; because what I uploaded was exactly what was in the archive15:31
didrockscyphermox: the changes are staged in the git repo, I didn't upload them, it was in June15:32
didrocksand the git repo don't have them anymore15:32
didrocks(so not an upload clash, but a vcs erase)15:32
cyphermoxwhy would you stage stuff in a git master branch and not task to people about it?15:33
didrockscyphermox: we did talk about our zfs work15:34
cyphermoxnot to me.15:34
didrocksyou were on the channel15:34
cyphermoxanyway, I think I have a copy of it here.15:34
didrockswe talked about git dpm15:34
didrocksand why did you git push -f without looking what you are erasing?15:34
didrocksI mean, VCS are meant for this15:34
cyphermoxyou asked about git-dpm, I had no idea what you were working on15:34
cyphermoxyeah, that's why we have branches15:34
didrockswell, it's ready to be uploaded15:34
didrocksbut didn't worth an upload on itself to screw up your merge15:35
didrockswe tried to be nice with you, didn't think one seconde someone would do a git push -f15:35
cyphermoxit wasn't clear to me that some things were staged and not uploaded, when there was something uploaded too (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/2.02+dfsg1-12ubuntu3)15:35
cyphermoxI think I have a copy of the old stuff, one minute15:35
didrockswhy do you git push -f ?15:35
didrocksok15:35
didrocksat least, we can get it back15:36
cyphermoxbecause merges are a pain and that's what I had to do15:36
didrockswell, maybe using a git dpm branch, if we can't avoid git push -f, isn't the right tool?15:36
cyphermoxplease, next time use a different branch than master/ubuntu if you're staging things somewhere to not interfere with people15:38
cyphermoxI'll restore code in a branch called 'didrocks' if I have it, after our team meeting15:38
didrockscyphermox: the thing was ready to upload15:38
didrocksso it shouldn't be a separate branch15:38
didrockswe just didn't want to add more work for your merge15:38
didrockscyphermox: so please use a VCS and don't git push -f15:38
cyphermoxdidrocks: it *is* a vcs and I did as much as I could, and in this particular case, git push -f was the right thing to do.15:39
cyphermoxerrors and clash happen, let's see if we can't fix things now15:39
didrocksI strongly disagree that we can argue that git push -f is the right thing to do in any case15:40
Laneysurely git revert, if anything; push -f is just a recipe for making life difficult for others15:40
didrocksbut let's see if you can restore the branch and we'll spend the days to redo things15:40
cyphermoxwhy would you have to redo anything?15:40
didrocksI need to recheck the changes in debian/patches, as in my branch, the content was split15:41
cyphermoxwith the original patches I can just drop / re-apply the right ones in a rebase15:41
didrocksso, I won't reapply all patches without looking at the diff15:41
didrocksand ensure we revert anything from your merge15:41
cyphermoxthis isn't complicated. I'll set you up with a 'didrocks*' branches, and then you can have a look if there's anything missing15:44
didrocksthx15:44
oSoMoNthat's all folks, see ya all tomorrow16:05
hggdhon Eoan: is it expected that the new Chromium (snap) is installed, but I get a warning stating /snap/bin is not in my path? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/8v58VDktfB/16:37
hggdh(and no request to logout/in or reboot?)16:39
willcookehggdh, I think snaps are still broken on E16:39
hggdhah16:39
willcookehggdh, there was a kernel issue and perhaps also a seeding issues16:39
hggdhok, so no need for a bug, I guess16:39
willcookethey're known and fixes are en route16:39
willcookedont think so16:39
willcookethanks for noticing16:40
hggdhyw. Thank you for the prompt response16:40
willcookenp16:41
xnoxcyphermox:  trying to commit my manual upload of grub to the git-dpm repo16:44

Laneyhello tkamppeter17:34
Laneynot really around reliably this week17:35
tkamppeterLaney, I have solved the nm.py, see my merge request (and I have also fixed your inline remarks for the debuggability improvement part)17:35
Laneyok, will look when I get a chance17:36
tkamppeterLaney, could you have another look if you find some time? Thanks.17:36
