jibelduflu, the broken combo bug could be a regression of bug 182207506:03
ubot5bug 1822075 in xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) "tooltips and combo boxes in webbrowsers are all garbage in xserver-xorg-video-radeon 1:19.0.0-1" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/182207506:03
duflujibel, yes, or just similar06:05
duflujibel, I guess using Wayland might work around it?06:06
jibelIDK I cannot test right now06:06

dufluHi oSoMoN06:19
Laneyhey06:21
dufluHey hey Laney06:22
dufluWhere be you?06:22
Laneymoin duflu06:22
LaneyI'm in the conference accommodation06:22
Laneymost other people have gone to the beach or to museums06:22
Laneybut my flight is soon06:22
dufluWin some and lose some06:23
dufluThat's odd. The new Yaru theme is making the temporal dithering in my monitor more visible06:23
dufluKind of annoying06:24
dufluBecause it's fading a white menu over a light blue background. The colours are so close you notice the in-between colours06:24
oSoMoNgood morning duflu, Laney06:30
Laneyhey oSoMoN06:34
Laneyare you well?06:34
Laneyduflu: are you sure that the duplicating of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1841661 was right or did you mean a different bug maybe?06:41
ubot5Launchpad bug 1767654 in mutter (Ubuntu) "duplicate for #1841661 [Intel Braswell/Apollo Lake] Cursor gets stuck on left side of the screen" [Undecided,Confirmed]06:41
dufluLaney, it looks like the right bug since the behaviour is apparently the same and they are related generations of CPU06:41
LaneyJonas told me that one is a regression in 5.1/5.2 and the reporter of the one you duped to was on 4.1506:42
dufluLaney, feel free to separate it06:42
LaneyIOW it is a regression in eoan06:42
LaneyOK, thanks06:43
dufluThat doesn't mean they're really separate bugs but I'm not bothered either way06:43
dufluDon't care to find out right now06:43
LaneySure, but I'd like to not accidentally fix one bug and leave the other one existing because we thought they were the same when they weren't06:44
Laneyif that makes sense06:44
dufluLaney, well that happens and it doesn't hurt generally. Just un-duplicate after verifying that06:44
oSoMoNLaney, I'm good, how are you yourself?06:48
Laneynice, but we just had our last Eklektik breakfast :(06:49
oSoMoNthat place is awesome06:49

seb128goooood morning desktopers07:23
dufluMorning seb12807:33
seb128hey duflu, how are you today?07:33
dufluseb128, good and bad. Sad the top performance fix in 3.34 got reverted because of bugs in the Wayland backend. But I understand because I haven't yet offered a complete fix for that07:34
dufluHow are you seb128?07:34
seb128it did? :(07:35
seb128I'm good07:35
seb128they didn't want to wait for a fix?07:35
oSoMoNsalut seb12807:36
dufluNo. I understand though. It's the stable solution07:36
seb128they might commit it back if a fix comes in time?07:37
dufluseb128, I'm looking into it. Unfortunately it mostly involves rewriting that 1.5 years of work that was discarded in mutter!7307:38
dufluSo I really need to find a solution that avoids that07:38
seb128:(07:38
dufluOr rewrite that (which will be less than 1.5 years the second time)07:38
dufluI also have myself to blame for not finishing that. Although my excuse is that we deprioritised Wayland07:39
dufluBut now that's hurting Xorg07:39
seb128we could perhaps distro patch that back?07:41
dufluseb128, no forget that -- I stopped working on it because Jonas rewrote everything and the conflicts became overwhelming07:43
dufluIt also would not be mature if I had a replacement soon07:43
seb128I meant the commit they reverted07:43
dufluseb128, it hurts Wayland too much right now, which still affects some of our users07:43
duflu-hurts +crashes07:44
seb128ah, crash :/07:44
seb128k then07:44
dufluseb128, that email I sent today is unrelated to all this. We can go ahead with that07:45
seb128right07:47

oSoMoNgood morning willcooke, lis08:29
dufluMorning willcooke and lis08:30
seb128hey oSoMoN willcooke, how are you?08:34
oSoMoNseb128, I'm good, how are you?08:36
oSoMoNyou made it home safely?08:37
seb128yeah, easy trip08:37
seb128the bus stressed me a bit, I installed that GUADEC recommended map which told me to take 28B at :2308:38
seb128but another bus arrived at :2008:38
seb128with a plane sign on the screen, so I walked in08:38
seb128but couldn't read any of the greek signs at all then08:39
seb128so I was unsure for a while if I was on the right bus08:39
seb128then the rest was easy :)08:39
popeyHello desktoppers!09:08
popeyWhere is the source for ubuntu firstrun application used in 18.04.3?09:08

popeythanks09:09
Laneysome desktop and ex-desktop things in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2019-August/040787.html09:10
popeyThat doesn't look like the source for the Ubuntu firstrun thing.09:11
popeyIs there some plugin we use or something that does all the livepatch and "You're ready to go" recommended software?09:12
Laneyit is09:13

popeyoh, i cloned master09:13
Laneythe Ubuntu modifications are done via distro patches, so you'll need to get the source from the fork on Gitlab or from the archive09:14

seb128popey, hey, what are you trying to change there?09:15
popeyNot change, investigate.09:15
seb128Laney, good luck :)09:15
popeyI watched a video where someone did an install, and the final page which shows software, showed the wrong applications (IMO)09:16
Laneynosy128 :P09:16
seb128haha09:16
popeyIt showed the current featured list, not the firstrun featured list specifcally made for the firstrun wizard09:16
willcookepopey, remember that it hides apps you already have installed09:16
popeynot what I'm concerned about willcooke09:17
popeyhttps://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/zZAPIIXa/This%20list%20is%20wrong09:17
popeyIt's a clean install so it won't be hiding anything09:17

seb128thx, let us know09:19
popey(not your bug by the look of it) :D09:19
seb128:-)09:19
popeyseb128: started a thread on the forum, looks like snapd or snapd-glib to blame, maybe? https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/ubuntu-firstrun-hidden-section-not-showing-in-ubuntu-initial-setup/1296611:42
seb128popey, thx, probably one for robert_ancell but he might not be much around in the next days, travelling back from GUADEC11:56
popeyI thought so. It's not a catastrophe, but just a weird bug I guess.11:56
seb128popey, trying maybe sending Robert an email to make sure he doesn't miss it12:01
popeywill do12:01
dufluPhew. seb128 I just reproposed the optimization, with built-in fixes for those side-effects.12:12
dufluAnd now good night12:12
seb128duflu, woot, well done12:12
seb128night!12:12
seb128tjaalton, there is a newer libinput point release, do you want to do the update or should I? ;)12:15
GunnarHjcyphermox: Can you please take a look at what I did here:12:41
GunnarHjhttps://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/usb-modeswitch/+packages12:41
GunnarHjIt depends on tcl8.6, which is in main, and the dispatcher is a shell script run via tclsh8.6.12:41
tjaaltonseb128: I'll push it to debian12:58
seb128tjaalton, thx13:01
seb128GunnarHj, hey, do you still plan to look at the gnome-getting-started-docs and gnome-user-docs updates?13:01
GunnarHjseb128: Yes.. But they are still on 3.33.90, and since they are not affecting anything else, I feel I'd better wait for 3.34.0 (at least). Am I missing anything by thinking so?13:09
seb128GunnarHj, we updated all the other GNOME components, and technical it's a new serie and we missed feature freeze and need a ffe now (though maybe less true for documentation)13:11
seb128GunnarHj, I would expect it to go with the rest of GNOME13:11
GunnarHjseb128: Doing it in Ubuntu is easy, and I could do that later today, if you like. Updating Debian's repos is more work, and it would be good to only need to do that once IMO.13:13
seb128GunnarHj, if you could update for Ubuntu for now that would be nice13:13
seb128we can do Debian once 3.34 is out13:14
GunnarHjseb128: Ok, will do. Btw, as regards Debian, would it be possible that you give me write access to those repos? Would be a bit inconvenient to handle new upstream via merge requests.13:15
seb128GunnarHj, I don't think I can ask, maybe check L_aney (he's travelling today though) if he remembers what is needed to be added13:16
seb128tjaalton, also do you think we could update libxkbcommon through Debian?13:18
GunnarHjseb128: Sure, I can ask him. I just created an own repo, and noticed that there is a setting for inviting additional members.13:19
seb128tjaalton, also libx11?13:21
cyphermoxGunnarHj: no; this is exactly what we don't want (a tcl script in the boot path)13:48
cyphermoxtcl8.6 isn't currently part of the boot path, nothing needs it, so loading yet another interpreter to run a single script is really not great for boot speed and performance13:49
GunnarHjcyphermox: That's what I feared you should say, so I'm about to fix the patch instead. ;)13:49
cyphermoxGunnarHj: if you think this is no longer an issue, best would be to pitch it to vorlon; he was the original requester for fixing usb-modeswitch :)13:50
cyphermoxtbh, I understand the concerns, but I'm not sure how much of an effect it has on boot speed, compared to the sustained effort of maintaining that patch13:50
cyphermoxotoh, by now usb-modeswitch strikes me as pretty much a dead thing, used less and less13:51
GunnarHjcyphermox: I'm not skilled enough to argue with any of you on that topic.13:51
cyphermoxGunnarHj: please don't think like that, that's just not true13:51
GunnarHjcyphermox: And yes, not much happens upstream with usb-modeswitch nowadays.13:51
cyphermoxwe all start from somewhere, I expect fixing the patch is also weirdish13:52
GunnarHjcyphermox: It is, but it's done now. :)13:52
cyphermoxit was a very crude patch using just C and as few things as possible13:52
cyphermoxoh, cool13:52
cyphermoxGunnarHj: if you noticed, it's like a third-grader did a word-for-word translation of some bad essay from one language to another ;)13:53
GunnarHjcyphermox: Haha, TBH i haven't looked much at the code. The OP pointed to the problem, so I just removed a trailing newline from a string.13:54
cyphermoxah, cool13:54
