oSoMoNgood morning desktoppers06:02
dufluMorning oSoMoN06:09
oSoMoNhey duflu06:12
dufluoSoMoN, you might have noticed I added high resolution scrolling (Firefox) to the 20.04 ideas doc :)06:13
oSoMoNduflu, I hadn't, thanks for the notice06:15
dufluOn that note, there's about 2 frames latency in mutter between the touch and the actual scroll being displayed. I have fixes for both but only one has landed in time for 3.34 so far06:16
dufluThat only matters though, if the app does high resolution scrolling06:17
jibelhi everyone06:47
dufluHi jibel06:50
oSoMoNsalut jibel06:51

dufluMorning seb12807:24
seb128hey duflu, good morning desktopers07:24
seb128duflu, how are you?07:26
dufluseb128, making progress on multiple fronts. How are you?07:27
seb128duflu, I'm good!07:27
seb128duflu, what are you digging into atm?07:28
dufluseb128, just got around to re-fixing an old bug; https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/72407:28
oSoMoNsalut seb12807:28
seb128lut oSoMoN, en forme ?07:28
oSoMoNça va bien, et toi?07:29
dufluseb128, also the last(?) of the desktop-icons leak fixes landed upstream07:30
seb128duflu, ah nice07:31
seb128oSoMoN, ça va bien :)07:31
marcustomlinsonmorning oSoMoN duflu and seb12807:51
seb128hey marcustomlinson, how are you?07:51
dufluMorning marcustomlinson07:51
seb128marcustomlinson, good news, libreoffice builds fine with the new poppler, no need of code changes :)07:51
marcustomlinsonseb128: \o/ \o/ \o/07:52
marcustomlinsonseb128: was a pretty major update so that's amazing news07:52
marcustomlinsonseb128: so to answer your earlier question, I was good, now I'm better :) How are you?07:52
seb128marcustomlinson, I'm good :)07:55
marcustomlinsonseb128: shall I prep a new upload with that Replaces fix then?07:55
seb128marcustomlinson, while speaking of new versions, I'm trying to get us uptodate where it makes sense before ff, do you know what's the deal with liborcus 0.15? it was uploaded to experimental in Debian, unsure if we should get it or not?07:56
seb128marcustomlinson, @new upload, yes, though I might wait a couple of days to upload that transition07:57
seb128I don't want to stack it over the e-d-s one so might want to wait for that one to be uploaded, I needed to check with Laney07:57
marcustomlinsonseb128: hmm, well we don't need liborcus 0.15 at this very stage. We could SRU it later if necessary perhaps07:59
seb128marcustomlinson, is it an unstable/risky version?08:00
seb128or do you default to "if it's not needed let's not take it"?08:00
marcustomlinsonseb128: yeah I'd rather not risk breaking stuff that works last minute08:00
marcustomlinsonseb128: it was tagged 5 days ago08:01
seb128k08:01
seb128my approach to the version tracking is "it's usually good to stay close from upstream"08:01
seb128especially in LTS-1, you want to get change in that cycle rather than in the LTS cycle if possible08:01
seb128give more testing room08:01
Laneyyo08:01
seb128anyway, I'm not pushing for us to update it, I just want to record things so we know if we don't update by choice/decision or if we jsut didn't keep up and we should08:02
seb128hey Laney! how are you?08:02
marcustomlinsonseb128: you're more experienced in this than me08:02
oSoMoNhey marcustomlinson08:03
seb128marcustomlinson, there is no right/wrong, it's a balance :)08:03
seb128if the Debian maintainer put it in experimental that's probably a clue we should be careful about it08:03
seb128I will put a note that we wait to see for that one08:03
seb128thx marcustomlinson08:03
marcustomlinsonyes this ^08:03
oSoMoNhey Laney08:04
RAOFseb128: Once I've checked that the new autopkgtest for `installed-tests` works I'll push colord up to salsa (this may be tomorrow, now). Feel like sponsoring this time tomorrow? :)08:06
Laneyhey seb128 oSoMoN marcustomlinson & RAOF08:07
Laneyseb128: I'm good!08:07
Laneyhow's everyone else?08:07
oSoMoNI'm good08:08
RAOFHey Laney !08:08
seb128RAOF, hey, sure08:08
seb128Laney, I'm good!08:08
marcustomlinsonLaney: ja goed08:10
Laney:>08:11
seb128Laney, any eta on the e-d-s transition upload? does that need to go with the shell stack or not required? I'm asking in context of starting the poppler transition, I would prefer having stacking them together08:11
Laneyyes it is required08:12
Laneygnome-shell depends on ecal08:12
seb128k08:12
GunnarHjGood morning all!08:12
GunnarHjLaney: I'm back about bug #1839605.08:12
GunnarHjAs you may have seen on #ubuntu-release it's now in the xenial/bionic/disco new queues, waiting for your blessing.08:12
ubot5bug 1839605 in Xenial Backports "Please backport ibus-avro 1.1-0ubuntu1 (universe) from eoan" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/183960508:12
seb128do you think we might upload this week at this point or rather next?08:12
Laneydon't know08:12
Laneyneed to upload the extensions08:13
seb128k08:13
LaneyMarco needs to give us a fix for the flaky tests08:13
Laneycould be08:13
seb128Trevinho, ^ what's the status of that?08:13
Laneybut I also need to write some talk slides for guadec, so08:13
Laneyhe doesn't need hassling, it's fine08:13
seb128k08:13
seb128I might go ahead with poppler then08:13
seb128it feels like I've room to get that done before we are reading with GNOME08:14
seb128thx Laney08:14
Laneycheck the state of proposed first08:14
Laneyif that ends up backing up for two weeks we'll have a problem08:14
Laneylast I looked there were some transitions in progress there08:14
seb128there is a libvpx transition that would good to clear off first08:15
seb128right08:15
seb128I will start by trying to help clearing those then08:15
seb128thx Laney, useful hints ;-)08:15
Laneyand you'll probably get some enemies if you make it harder:p08:15
Laneynp!08:15
seb128Laney, jibel, I was busy with other things so didn't pay full attention yesterday after the meeting, but the ISO test issue is down to "need kernel team input"?08:16
Laneyyes, and jibe_l said he'd file a bug and talk tot hem08:16
seb128great08:17
seb128thx :)08:17
seb128bah, stupid laptop, battery is flat again, co I'm relocating back from coffee place, brb08:18
dufluMorning Laney and GunnarHj08:21
LaneyGunnarHj: Will look later08:23
Laneyhey duflu08:23
GunnarHjLaney: Ok.08:25
jibelLaney, hi, I filed bug 184012208:45
ubot5bug 1840122 in casper (Ubuntu) "System fails to reboot from live session or ubiquity-dm" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/184012208:45
Laneywoot08:45
seb128k, back now!08:56
Laneyjibel: will you follow up with the kernel team or are you expecting foundations to look first since you filed on casper?08:57
Laneywb08:57
seb128thx :)08:58
jibelLaney, I'd start with Foundations08:58
jibelLaney, what do you think of this change https://launchpadlibrarian.net/434753737/casper_1.413_1.414.diff.gz ?08:58
jibelit changes the way / is mounted and could lead to the umount failure08:59
Laneydidn't it start before then?08:59
Laneydoes sound interesting though08:59
Laneyshould be possible to try reverting that08:59
jibelor 1.41209:00
jibelit's the first attempt at fixing the same bug09:00
jibelwe could try to revert at 1.41109:01
Laneysounds like a good idea to try09:01
seb128the issues started on jul 16th09:01
seb128which is the day casper 1.412/413 was uploaded09:01
jibelyeah and it matches 1.41209:01
seb128so it would match09:01
Laneyplease do give it a go09:02
Laneygood finds09:02
jibelwhat's the easiest way to revert casper? extract the initrd, unpack it, downgrade casper, repack everything and boot from it?09:02
Laneyprobably "direct kernel boot" would avoid you having to repack the whole iso09:03
jibelyes that's what I meant09:03
Laneynod09:04
jibeli'll give it a go09:04
Laneythat's the best way I know of09:04
Laneyin this case we should have believed the testing :(09:05
seb128yeah...09:05
seb128how does that repack/direct kernel boot work?09:05
seb128I'm curious in case I need to try that one day09:06
seb128Laney, did you want to handle the new gtk merge/upload to eoan? if not I might have a go to it now09:07
Laneyyou do it please09:07
seb128k, thx09:07
Laneyso you can get the initramfs and kernel out of an iso09:07
jibelseb128, you extract the kernel and the initrd from the iso and tells kvm to use these files instead of the ones in the iso09:07
Laneyand virt-manager has options to use those09:07
seb128ah ok, cool09:07
seb128thx jibel Laney09:07
seb128I didn't know that was an option09:07
jibelseb128, qemu has  -kernel= and -initrd= arguments09:08
seb128I see, useful to know, thx!09:12
seb128Laney, do you remember why we stayed away from the newer tracker previous cycle? iirc there was some technical reason, like transition or some work to do but I don't remember the specifics...09:17
seb128jbicha, ^ or if you are around, I think you are the one who handled that back then09:17
Laneytracker 2.2?09:18
seb128GunnarHj, do you want to maybe handle the gnome-getting-started-docs and gnome-user-docs updates to the new serie? (bonus point if you do it in Debian first/as well, I can do sponsoring ;-)09:18
Laneynot specifically no09:18
seb128Laney, yes09:18
seb128k09:18
Laneynot just due to feature freeze?09:18
seb128I don't remember know, I think there was something09:19
seb128like work that would need to happen but no-one had time for09:19
seb128maybe a MIR, or a split/transition09:19
Laneyhmm ok, I don't remember, sorry09:19
seb128no worry09:19
seb128maybe i'm just dreaming09:19
seb128let's see if Jeremy walk by at some point and remembers09:19
oSoMoNmarcustomlinson, https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/libreoffice-certain-bundled-fonts-are-missing-in-ubuntu/1221209:28
marcustomlinsonoSoMoN: cool I'll todo it09:32
GunnarHjseb128: Yes, I plan to handle those for Ubuntu. Since there are some significant deltas, we usually bypass Debian, but sure, I can look at Debian too. Where should I put proposed uploads? Mentors?10:37
seb128GunnarHj, salsa, e.g https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/gnome-getting-started-docs10:38
seb128GunnarHj, thx10:38
GunnarHjseb128: Right, I forgot the repo. ;)10:38
seb128:-)10:38
seb128Trevinho, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libnotify/merge_requests/5 has a trivial change requested (mentioning it in case you ddin't see it)10:48
Trevinhoseb128: ah thanks for the ping10:48
seb128np!10:48
TrevinhoLaney: are you happy with merging that upstream then=?10:49
LaneyTrevinho: with what?10:52
Laneyoh that10:52
Laneysry didn't read up10:52
Laneyyeah, did you think about the ordering thing?10:54
Laney folks | 0.11.4-1ubuntv3 | eoan/universe   | source11:23
Laneyinteresting11:23
TrevinhoLaney: yeah, you mean weather what to pick first...11:27
Trevinhobut I think this should go properly11:27
Laneyyep11:27
Laneyhappy if you are11:27
TrevinhoLaney: you saw the small diffs I applied to yours, right?11:30
Laneynope11:32
LaneyI'm sure they are great though11:32
Laneygot a link?11:32
TrevinhoLaney: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libnotify/merge_requests/5/diffs?diff_id=52149&start_sha=7f9dc9dd4c45870ae9d47bd2bcef99550757464e11:33
TrevinhoLaney: the only thing I'm considering is that... if we're running from a snap probably is better to always priotize things inside the snap11:33
Laneyyes that's what I meant with ordering11:34
Laneydiff looks good except for the review comment seb128  pointed out11:34
TrevinhoLaney: yeah, I already addressed that11:36
TrevinhoLaney: so https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libnotify/merge_requests/5#note_58035211:38
LaneyI said that in a comment somewhere :p11:39
Laneyfeel free to change it, it's a choice and wasn't sure what the right way was11:39
Laneyprobably snap first indeed11:39
Trevinhook, let me move it down then11:42
Laneydo test that in case it breaks in some weird way11:43
jibelLaney, so with 1.411 I don't get the umount error messages but it still doesn't reboot.12:16
TrevinhoLaney: looking even more at libnotify still we've some issues around...12:43
TrevinhoLaney: one reason why I added some reports in my libnotify change was to allow snap writers to figure out what's going on by just seeing the output, but maybe we can ignore this13:01
TrevinhoLaney: I've pushed another version for libnotify, includes https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libnotify/merge_requests/5/diffs?diff_id=52719&start_sha=1f6135c96e8221215151ae21282f86766ec1c63f13:18
Trevinhoso that now desktop files are properly parsed when the case is to just use SNAP_NAME (otherwise it would have happended a /13:19
Trevinhoand also is fixed the case where an uri is passed13:19
Laneythat's complicated enough that I have to review it properly, sorry, can't nod this through any more13:21
Laneyand I'm busy writing slides for guadec now13:22
Laneydid you remove all the times that function is called with multiple arguments? if so, drop the varargs stuff13:22
Laneywould prefer it if we were to stick on the gnome 3.33 topic though13:25
Laneyjibel: nothing to indicate a problem?13:28
jibelLaney, no, the other suspect would be your initial guess: kernel 5.0 -> 5.213:30
jibelbut I dont see how to revert it in a live session13:31
jibelwithout rebuilding the entire image13:31
LaneyI dunno either13:32
TrevinhoLaney: yeah, I was thinking to remove the va-args thing in fact13:34
Laneyif it's unused13:37
Laneystill do have to review it though, not quite clear to me what you've changed, why, what problem it fixes, and why it's better13:37
seb128Trevinho, I would suggest not spent more time on that today, I pointed out the trivial code fix this morning it was not to sidetrack you from other things for half the day...13:38
seb128other iteration on that can wait next week post ff13:38
seb128imho13:38
Trevinhoyeah, I left that already alone13:39
seb128thx13:39
TrevinhoI looked a bit on it just because it have been material for this, but looks not13:39
seb128Laney, did you hold on syncing the glib update from Debian? or just didn't look at it?13:44
Laneysecond one, that was only like 2 days ago13:46
seb128k, sorry, I'm looking for version that doesn't include the age (maybe would be an useful hint to have in a popover or such)13:46
seb128thx :)13:47
Laneyit's good to test/sync if you want to13:47
seb128I'll install it and see how it goes13:47
seb128then sync later if it looks ok13:47
=== pstolowski is now known as pstolowski|afk
ricotzseb128, hi :), could you sync vala from debian/exp as well?16:45
seb128ricotz, hey, done18:02
ricotzseb128, thx18:14
seb128ricotz, thank you for handling the update :) shouldn't we move experimental/eoan to 0.45 btw? (and how much does that impact builds/requiring porting work)?18:17
ricotzseb128, absolutely, 0.45.90+ would be a recommended version for the upcoming release18:18
ricotzI don't know which 3rd-party projects would require patching, everything covered by GNOME builds18:21
seb128ricotz, do you plan to update in experimental?18:23
ricotzseb128, sure, I can do update salsa repo to 0.4618:27
seb128thx18:27
