seb128goood morning desktopers05:29
dufluMorning seb12805:52
seb128hey duflu, how are you?05:52
dufluseb128, the world is crazy. Sometimes everyone wants to phone and text you at the same time.05:53
dufluBut work's fine05:53
dufluHow are you seb128?05:53
seb128I'm good !05:54
seb128k, time for morning errands, bbiab06:02
dufluditto06:14
oSoMoNgood morning desktoppers06:30
RAOFOoops. Time to get a newer Mir in Eoan before FF!06:34
dufluMorning oSoMoN07:00
dufluand morning-ish RAOF07:01
RAOFGood afternoon duflu107:01
oSoMoNhey duflu, RAOF07:01
oSoMoNgood morning seb12807:08
seb128lut oSoMoN, en forme ?07:08
oSoMoNseb128, peu dormi, mais bien, donc plutôt en forme. Et toi?07:09
seb128moi ça va !07:09
seb128ff - 1 day07:09
seb128still didn't land the new GNOME :-/07:09
oSoMoNpressure building up… can I help with testing or anything else?07:10
seb128I don't think so, from what I understood L_aney wanted other transitions to clear out of proposed before uploading which is what is blocking at this point07:11
seb128there is quite some blocked in proposed/autopkgtest issues atm though, newer glib doesn't help there07:12
=== pstolowski|afk is now known as pstolowski
seb128oSoMoN, one thing that contributes to the issue is the firefox/armhf situation, it's on the blocker list for glib or gdk-pixbuf to migrate, but I think it's safe to assume it's not those and ask for a skip?07:13
oSoMoNseb128, I think that's a safe assumption, but I'm digging into it regardless07:14
seb128there is something weird though, http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/f/firefox/eoan/armhf shows that usually the test takes like 15min07:14
seb128so it seems a real lock/problem07:14
seb128thx07:14
marcustomlinsonmorning all07:29
dufluMorning marcustomlinson07:29
dufluHey oSoMoN, I finally got around to trying out Firefox's hidden Xinput2 support.07:30
dufluIt actually doesn't work that well07:30
dufluSo no rush07:30
dufluI'd recommend Chromium instead, where it's on by default already07:30
oSoMoNack, thanks duflu07:31
oSoMoNgood morning marcustomlinson07:31
marcustomlinsonhey duflu, oSoMoN and seb12807:32
seb128hey marcustomlinson, how are you?07:35
marcustomlinsonseb128: I'm good thanks. I see in the scrollback that you are too ;)07:36
seb128:-)07:41
duflu🔮07:42
GunnarHjHi seb128, I'm back about sane-backends. Any chance you can override the autopkgtest regression:07:49
GunnarHjhttps://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#sane-backends07:49
seb128GunnarHj, hey, sorry but no, you need #ubuntu-release for that07:49
GunnarHjseb128: Ok, didn't know that.07:50
seb128GunnarHj, also you will need to explain them why it's valid to skip and isn't a real issue/something to fix07:51
GunnarHjseb128: Given all the overrides already there, I kind of assumed it would be a formality.07:52
seb128let's ask and see what they say07:52
seb128bah, stupid laptop battery is flat again07:52
GunnarHjRight.07:52

Laneyoi08:01
dufluoi Laney08:04
oSoMoNoi Laney08:06
dufluWe are so punk :P08:13
Laney:>08:17
seb128k, back now08:17
seb128hey Laney, how are you?08:17
Laneyhey seb12808:29
Laneydoing alright thanks08:30
Laneywhat about you?08:30
seb128I'm fine, stressed about ff and things not being in shape and about trevelling though :/08:33
* Laney pats seb128 08:34
LaneyIf we can't push it before feature freeze I'm just going to mail ubuntu-release and say that it's because of instability in -proposed, and it'll happen when it can happen08:35
Laneyspeaking about gnome, not other stuff08:35
seb128right08:38
seb128we still have a stack of GNOME components not on their current serie08:38
seb128and having a landing while we are at GUADEC/travelling and no-one is really around to sort out things sucks08:38
seb128oh well, not much we can do at this point08:39
seb128we screwed up but I'm unsure what we should have done differently :-/08:39
Laneyyou can beat yourself up if you want but I'm not going to do that08:41
Laneystarted earlier probably08:41
Laneyhad more people08:41
seb128it's not a matter of beating anyone up, the situation is just creating me stress for some days at a point I didn't sleep well and was up at 6am this morning08:42
seb128so I would prefer to learn to do better and avoid that stress in the futur08:42
seb128anyway, it's probably my problem, sorry for mentioning it here08:43
Trevinhomorning08:44
dufluMorning Trevinho. Thanks for the merge08:45
seb128hey Trevinho, how are you?08:45
seb128tjaalton, hey, I noticed we are some versions behind on vulkan-loader , is that something we should update before ff?08:45
oSoMoNseb128, if we're late it's not just your problem, it's a team thing, and the stress seems to be a direct consequence of it, so fixing the former for future releases should fix the latter08:45
Trevinhoduflu: np08:45
oSoMoNgood morning Trevinho08:45
Trevinhoseb128: hi all good, preparing for guadec a bit08:45
seb128oSoMoN, right, let's see and discuss about it in Paris. I'm a bit concerned that other just dismiss it as non an issue which means maybe don't see the need to do differently/better next time08:47
tjaaltonseb128: we have the latest, 1.1.114.0-108:47
seb128anyway, not a discuss for here/today08:47
seb128tjaalton, https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Loader/releases08:47
tjaaltonlook at sdk-* tags08:48
tjaaltonthose are the actual releases08:48
seb128tjaalton, ah ok, I need to fix the version tracking then :)08:48
seb128tjaalton, thx08:49
oSoMoNseb128, ack, let's discuss this in Paris and come up with a plan to do it better next time08:49
tjaaltonalso, vulkan-validationlayers for that release still doesn't build08:50
seb128oSoMoN, thx for caring :)08:50
tjaaltonthey depend on snapshots of glslang/spirv and then a newer release might break something08:50
tjaaltonwhich kinda sucks08:50
Laneyseb128: am I "others" here? I think you can highlight and talk with me if you think I'm doing something badly.08:50
LaneyFor the record, I am not dismissing what you're saying and I'm sorry it came across like that.08:51
seb128Laney, no, I was not directly referring to you with that use of 'others', I think it's a collective thing08:51
seb128Marco is at least as relax as you are about being late08:51
seb128Laney, thx for saying that :)08:52
LaneyI've done as much, as fast, and as well as I can, so to me that helps me to not feel stressed about what I've done here.08:52
LaneyThat's not to say that we couldn't do anything better next time.08:52
LaneyBut if I start feeling anxious about the situation then it wouldn't result in a better result right now.08:53
seb128right08:56
seb128as long as we collectively realize that the situation is not great and that we should to do better next time I'm fine08:56
seb128we need to acknowledge that there is room for improvements and take some time to figure out what didn't work/why so we can try to address those issues and do better next time08:57
Trevinhoseb128: considering how upstream changed things so late and that we need to wait on those, I don't think we could have down much better. starting earlier wasn't changing much in some cases as thing landed at the end upstream anyways. Like all the changes to app icons in shell that needed other changes to d2d. Anyways shell stack on my side is ready since end of last week. so I'm happy to help with other things that are waiting.08:59
seb128Trevinho, thanks, and indeed the shell late changes always make for a challenge :/09:01
seb128Trevinho, I think we are mostly ready now as you said so nothing specific, unless you want to work on "standard packaging updates"09:02
TrevinhoI can do those too... but still need sponsoring so this is in some cases could still be slower than one of you doing the job directly09:03
seb128yeah, unless there are patches to rebase and such09:04
Trevinhobut in any case feel free to assign me other stuff if it can help in speeding up / remove job to other team members09:04
seb128Laney, do you need help on some for e.g patches rebasing? like gnome-control-center?09:04
Laneythat one is done09:04
Laneyall of the most important packages are done I think09:04
Laneyit's more leaf stuff now09:04
Laneycheck https://www.0d.be/debian/debian-gnome-3.34-status.html09:04
seb128empty page for me?09:05
Trevinhosame09:05
seb128there is gvfs / gnome-terminal /vte still todo I think09:05
Laneyprobably regenerating09:06
seb128gnome-online-accounts09:06
Laneythanks :p I refreshed and it disappeared09:06
seb128gnome-initial-setup09:06
seb128Trevinho, ^ want to pick one of those and do it on salsa?09:06
Trevinhoseb128: ok, will finish some gnome things I'm on and work on those after lunch, is it OK?09:08
seb128also should we sync gjs 1.57.90?09:08
seb128Trevinho, wfm, please state which one you do so we avoid conflicts09:08
Trevinhoah gjs would be better yes09:08
LaneyI'm building gjs09:08
Laneyalready09:08
Trevinho❤️09:09
seb128duflu, what's the deal with the pulseaudio update vcs, did you push your work somewhere?09:18
dufluseb128, it's in the branch I sent you yesterday, not the maintenance branches yet09:19
dufluFor safety and accuracy09:19
dufluseb128, if you like I can just point 'ubuntu' at it09:19
dufluand commit to it09:19
seb128duflu, ah right, sorry I was looking for the email but though you had a ppa09:19
seb128duflu, yes, please push to the main vcs09:20
seb128I'm going to upload to eoan09:20
seb128I can tag/commit the upload entry then09:20
dufluseb128, done09:22
seb128duflu, thx!09:22
dufluI didn't do a PPA because I figured eoan-proposed is the same09:23
duflulevel of maturity09:23
seb128yeah09:23
dufluseb128, this main page is handy to refer to: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/pulseaudio09:24
seb128right09:24
mantiena-baltixHi09:35
mantiena-baltixricotz, I've noticed, that LibreOffice packages in ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-6-2 are outdated and has security issues - LO 6.2.6 with fixed CVE-2019-9852 was uploaded to Ubuntu archive a week ago, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:6.2.6-0ubuntu0.19.04.109:38
ricotzmantiena-baltix, it is on my todo list09:40
mantiena-baltixThanks, I'm building new release of Ubuntu-based distribution for Lithuanian schools and it's very important to us to have latest LibreOffice 6.2 release in ISO image, could you upload LibreOffice 6.2.6 to PPA today?09:42
mantiena-baltixricotz,  I'm building new release of Ubuntu-based distribution for Lithuanian schools and it's very important to us to have latest LibreOffice 6.2 release in ISO image, could you upload LibreOffice 6.2.6 to PPA today?09:42
mantiena-baltixor tonight ;)09:42
ricotzmantiena-baltix, I might get to it this afternoon or evening09:43
mantiena-baltixthank you very much09:43
Laneytkamppeter: did you see my ping yesterday about a network-manager cherry-pick?10:30
mantiena-baltixmdeslaur, Hi, I've noticed LibreOffice 6.2.6 for Ubuntu 19.04 in ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-6-2 , will you upload 6.2.6 packages for 18.04 (Bionic) today?10:41
Laneybloop10:42
Laneygvfs depends on a new libfuse3 which is universe10:42
seb128:-(10:42
seb128might be easier to revert that change/commit temporarly?10:43
Laneyprobably10:46
mdeslaurmantiena-baltix: I don't take care of libreoffice, ask marcustomlinson11:02
mantiena-baltixmdeslaur, sorry, I just see you name (Marc Deslauriers) in  "Uploaded by" column next to  libreoffice 6.2.6-0ubuntu0.19.0411:05
marcustomlinsonmantiena-baltix: 6.2.6 will not be released to Bionic, we maintain the 6.0 series there11:07
mantiena-baltixmarcustomlinson: I'm asking about ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-6-2 , Rico Tzschichholz told me, that he will upload 6.2.6 packages into PPA, but one hour ago I've noticed upload by Marc Deslauriers  :)11:10
marcustomlinsonmantiena-baltix: ah ok :)11:10
mantiena-baltixmarcustomlinson but I still don't understand why Ubuntu doesn't update LibreOffice packages to officially supported series and users very old unsupported LibreOffice in LTS releases11:12
marcustomlinsonmantiena-baltix: they are supported. By me ;)11:13
ricotzmarcustomlinson, as I said I will get to it11:14
ricotzmantiena-baltix, ^11:14
ricotzmarcustomlinson, sorry11:14
ricotzmantiena-baltix, regarding the 6.2.6 package in the 6-2 ppa, look at the "Copied by" information11:16
ricotzmarcustomlinson, hi, do you want to sync git with those security uploads?11:16
marcustomlinsonricotz: ah good point, will do now11:17
ricotzthx11:17
marcustomlinsonthanks11:17
mantiena-baltixmarcustomlinson: 6.0.7 has lots of bugs with MS Office formats, they are fixed in 6.1.x and 6.2.x series, also VLOOKUP performance is terrible in 6.0, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/6.1#VLOOKUP_performance11:19
mantiena-baltixricotz, thanks for info11:19
marcustomlinsonricotz: k done11:20
marcustomlinsonmantiena-baltix: If some newer features are vitally important to you, you could install the snap which is always the latest and greatest11:23
mantiena-baltixmarcustomlinson: snap is not an option for 500 pretty old computers it schools and other places I support, so, I'm using packages from https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-6-2 :)11:26
mantiena-baltixs/it/in11:26
marcustomlinsonmantiena-baltix: awesome, good stuff11:26
marcustomlinsonthanks ricotz ;)11:27
LaneyoSoMoN: might not be a priority for you, but I can't start chromium (snap) on wayland any more with gnome 3.3311:30
Laneycan't open the X display it seems11:30
mantiena-baltixmarcustomlinson, but I still doen't undertart why Ubuntu developers don't want to upload latest stable LibreOffice branch into LTS releases. For example Firefox in Ubuntu LTS is always up to date, it would be nice to have the same with LibreOffice, especially when LibreOffice developers always declare which branch is ready for enterprise use, see l11:31
mantiena-baltixibreoffice.org/download11:31
ricotzfirefox is doing a good job to support older toolchains, libreoffice is different here and e.g. 6.3.x is not buildable anymore on Xenial/16.04, so backporting major release updates has its limits11:34
ricotz(mostly related to C++ features)11:35
mantiena-baltixricotz, thank you very much for backporting , LO in Xenial offically is at 5.1.x , so if latest PPA version will be 6.2.x then it's fine, most old computers with Ubuntu 16.04 I support uses LibreOffice 6.1.x and users are happy with this LibreOffice release :)11:39
oSoMoNLaney, thanks, I'll take a look after lunch12:03
ricotzmantiena-baltix, note that the packages are not built in the 6-2 ppa, but copied over from another one, they started building now and could take up to 10 hours to finish12:25
maddawg23CX is pretty dope13:28
maddawg2oops13:28
oSoMoNLaney, I upgraded an eoan VM with silo 3762, and after logging out a wayland session I see the greeter background and indicators, but no buttons to select the user to log in13:53
Laneynot seen that13:54
Laneyjournal?13:54
oSoMoNLaney, https://people.canonical.com/~osomon/journal-gnome-3.33.txt14:05
oSoMoNLaney, I rebooted and now I'm logged in fine (I have autologin configured in that VM)14:07
oSoMoNLaney, also, I can confirm the chromium snap doesn't start14:08
Laneywas it log in, dist upgrade, log out, broken?14:08
oSoMoNLaney, yes14:09
Laneyok, will have to try to play with that situation, thanks14:09
oSoMoNI'm seeing a denial for the chromium snap on /run/user/1000/.mutter-Xwaylandauth-XYZABC14:10
LaneyI think there were some upstream changes to do with being able to start XWayland on demand14:11
oSoMoNLaney, I filed bug #1840925 to track the problem14:25
ubot5bug 1840925 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "[snap] chromium doesn't start under Wayland with GNOME 3.33" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/184092514:25
Laneycheers oSoMoN14:33
oSoMoNLaney, and adding a single rule to the chromium snap's apparmor profile to allow read access to that Xauth file is enough to fix it14:36
Laney👊14:36
oSoMoNI guess the wayland interface will need to be updated, and I will also need to add the plug to chromium14:37
Laneyo/17:10
Laneymight or might not be on tomorrow, depends on connectivity while travelling17:10
mantiena-baltixricotz, I've noticed fonts-liberation2 ver 2.00.1-5~16.04.1 backport in libreoffice-6-2 and 6-1 PPA, maybe it's better to backport newer fonts-liberation2 release 2.00.5 , see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=835273 and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/liberationfonts/liberation-fonts/devel/ChangeLog17:15
