didrockshappy birthday seb12807:25
seb128hey didrocks, thx :)07:25
pieqHi!07:37
pieqIn 18.04 and above, is there a way to disable notifications? Like a "Do not distub" mode or something... I only saw a GNOME extension and apparently it's very buggy07:38
seb128pieq, hey, you can disable them in gnome-control-center notifications' panel07:45
seb128brb, changing location07:45
willcookemorning07:53
pieqhey willcooke07:54
willcookehi pieq, how goes?  Your photo is doing well in the comp.  Too close to call at this point though07:55
didrockshey willcooke, pieq07:56
pieqwillcooke, pretty good! Long weekend looming here (中秋節, aka "mid-autumn festival")07:56
pieqwillcooke, and cool for the pic! I have personal favorites (not mine), hope they will do well too!07:57
pieqwillcooke, how many ppl voted so far>07:57
pieq?07:57

willcookeWhich is pretty good actuallyt07:57
willcookemorning didrocks07:57
pieqseb128, merci pour le conseil! I didn't even think of looking there... =_=) I hope GNOME adds a button in the actual notification area soon...07:59
seb128np08:01
seb128worth reporting upstream if you think that should be done, but what it is you are trying to get done exactly?08:01
Laneyayo08:01
seb128I think they were rather thinking in workflow, like disable them on projector on when in fullscreen08:01
seb128hey Laney, how are you?08:02
Laneyhey seb12808:03
Laneyvery well thanks! looks nice and sunny today08:03
Laneyyou?08:03
seb128Laney, I'm good, stopped for an 'english breakfast' on my way back this morning, just got my juice/coffee/toast/egg/bacon :)08:05
seb128and it's sunny outside after a day of rain!08:05
Laney:>08:07
didrockshey Laney08:08
ricotzgood morning desktopers!08:09
ricotzLaney, hi, could you sync gnome-shell-extensions from debian/exp?08:09
Laneyricotz: yeah, thanks for the reminder08:09
Laneywrite a sync-when-available script for me please :-)08:10
ricotzhehe, thanks :)08:11
seb128hey ricotz08:11
ricotzseb128, hi08:12
pieq<seb128> I think they were rather thinking in workflow, like disable them on projector on when in fullscreen → *exactly* my use case: when I give a talk, I don't want random Hexchat notifications popping up08:31
seb128pieq, k, that's something being discussed for a while08:32
pieq(another use case: when I try to focus on fixing a bug, I don't want notifications to pop up on my screen :))08:32
pieqseb128, OK. Do you know if the GNOME community reached a consensus and it's just waiting on being implemented or it's still being debated?08:33
seb128I don't remember the details08:34
seb128but i'm pretty sure they are in agreement than 'presentation' mode should have no notification08:34
seb128(I don't remember if that was somewhat supposed to be already implemented/working today or part of plans though)08:35
seb128would need to check a bit the upstream reports etc08:35
seb128but it might be a topic we discuss for next cycle, it has been on our backlog for a while08:35
frederikf[m]one more last minute question for you guys: with gnome shell 3.32 the adaptive transparency has stopped working for the dock (I personally do not know if it is connected to 3.32 or some dashtodock thing) and we had to decide between perma transparent or perma opaque. Here is a pull request for a low transparency permanently for the dock only (not the panel). Looks a bit like unity7, we would like to hear a +1 or08:35
frederikf[m]-1 from you:08:35
frederikf[m]https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/pull/151808:35
seb128willcooke, Trevinho, ^08:36
seb128hey frederikf[m] :)08:36
willcookehey frederikf[m]08:36
pieqseb128, cool! Sorry, I feel very far away from all these discussions related to the desktop environment...08:36
seb128frederikf[m], the adaptive mode was dropped because gnome-shell dropped that feature for their panel and we followed that for consistency between the UI elements iirc08:37
seb128pieq, no worry!08:37
frederikf[m]hi 🙂 And happry birthday seb128  ?08:37
seb128frederikf[m], thanks ;-)08:37
willcookelooking at the PR now08:37
willcooke+1'd looks good.  I like it08:38
seb128willcooke, frederikf[m], that makes the top panel and dock not be consistent, unsure if that's an issue or not08:39
willcookeIMO its not an issue08:39
seb128(if you didn't figure that out yet, I'm not the person to ask for an opinion on UI consitency :-)08:39
willcookefrederikf[m], can the headbar be semi trans too to match?08:40
seb128that would look weird imho08:40
clobranomorning everyone 0/08:41
willcookehi clobrano08:41
seb128hey clobrano, how are you?08:42
clobranohey willcooke, how's it going?08:42
willcookeseb128, semi trans header would look weird?  Yeah, could be.  I think it looks fine as it is in those screenshots tbh08:42
clobranohi seb128, I'm doing good, yourself?08:42
seb128clobrano, I'm good!08:42
clobrano:)08:42
clobranowillcooke, seb128: the permanent transparency (of the dock onlyl) will always depend on the wallpaper, so it's hard to make it work always good, but this big chunk of black on the side is also heavy08:44
seb128indeed08:44
willcookeyeah, I think the balance in those screenshots is good.  It could be because of the wallpapers, but it looks right to me.  And better than a big slab of black for sure08:46
seb128+108:46
seb128(brb, changing location)08:47
GunnarHjGood morning seb128! I just sent you an email.08:59
clobranogood, I'll wait just a little for Mads to reply, before merging the change, so that it can go in Eoan09:00
Laneyquickety quick09:00
seb128GunnarHj, hey, k09:05
frederikf[m]not so super important issue I've observed in eoan: rhythmnox with the alternative-toolbar extension doesn't have the "modern" toggle any longer set to active, resulting in basically disabling the reason for this extension (client side decorations) - is this an issue and if yes is it known?  : )09:31
seb128frederikf[m], not known I think but I will check on a new profile/install, thx for raising it09:33
frederikf[m]np! it's this toggle: https://i.imgur.com/fM6tbGF.png09:35
clobranoLaney, yaru changelog updated and merged :+109:59
Laneycool10:00
Laneythanks!10:00
clobrano:)10:31
Laneypkgstripfiles on yaru is a bad idea11:20
clobranoLaney: pkgstripfiles?11:21
Laneyit runs as part of the build11:22
Laneyand compresses all the images in a package11:22
Laneycool for the package that ends up in the ubuntu archive11:23
Laneynot really needed for me testing it here :>11:23
clobranoI see. It might be cool to have a release build, different than development build11:24
clobranoLaney: where does it run? I don't see it in the meson script nor in the build log11:32
Laneyyou need to install it into your build chroot11:33
Laneythen it gets its little teeth into the proceedings by taking over dh_builddeb11:34
Laneypackage is called pkgbinarymangler11:34
Laneyjust finished, 20 minutes later 😏11:35
clobrano🤦‍♂️11:38
Laneyok11:40
Laneyit's uploaded11:42
Laneywell done on meeting the user interface freeze11:42
Laneydone better than the default wallpaper 😈11:42
clobrano🥳11:42
oSoMoNricotz, I modified slightly your patch to have the firefox build select the highest llvm version available: https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox-beta.xenial/revision/129713:11
oSoMoNricotz, I'm now working on re-enabling unity-menubar.patch13:13
oSoMoNricotz, note that I didn't export neither AS nor LLVM_CONFIG, CC and CXX seem to be enough13:14
oSoMoNbut maybe that's different when building trunk?13:14
ricotzoSoMoN, will take a look, did you test built it without those exports?13:16
oSoMoNricotz, yes: https://launchpad.net/~osomon/+archive/ubuntu/ff70-clang-xenial/+packages13:16
oSoMoNat least on xenial that works, I'll now test bionic in a separate PPA13:17
ricotzoSoMoN, I see, and e.g. eoan so with llvm 9?13:17
ricotzoSoMoN, why so many separate ppas?13:18
seb128marcustomlinson, hey, I'm probably going to bother you with a stupid question but I guess a libreoffice update is coming? I see we have .0 where Debian has .1 and upstream .2? :)13:19
oSoMoNricotz, they're throwaway PPAs, I delete them afterwards13:19
ricotzoSoMoN, ok13:19
ricotzoSoMoN, I assume you are pushing these changes to the other series too, later today beta 6 will be tagged13:24
oSoMoNricotz, yes, I'll push the changes before beta 6 is out13:30
ricotzoSoMoN, I guess with these toolchain changes a trunk build on xenial is worth another try13:31
ricotzoSoMoN, thanks13:32
oSoMoNyou’re welcome13:33
seb128random question, but does anyone has some experience doing stacked charts? what tool/language/library would you recommend? (I wanted to draw the stats of packages updates/tosync/topupdate over time)13:57
jibellibreoffice, google spreadsheet if it's a one time thing, grafana if it's live data14:21
seb128lol, of course, using libreoffice, stupid me14:27
seb128thx jibel :)14:27
seb128I was stuck in the mindset of command line utility or python library for some reason, but yeah probably easier to do in libreoffice :)14:27
jibelif you insist on trying a CLI tool, I'd go for gnuplot ;)14:35
ricotzseb128, marcustomlinson, libreoffice 6.3.1 and 6.2.7 are the current releases14:36
ricotz(declared released last week)14:36
marcustomlinsonricotz: 6.2.6 you mean14:36
ricotzmarcustomlinson, no, as I said14:37
marcustomlinsonricotz: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.214:37
ricotzmarcustomlinson, don't trust the wiki14:37
ricotzhttps://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/14:37
ricotzit is security related release14:38
seb128ricotz, http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/src/6.3.2/14:39
ricotzseb128, this is a prerelease14:39
ricotz6.3.2 rc114:39
seb128naming .1 a rc is weird14:39
seb128that's usually > .014:39
ricotzit is 6.3.2.114:40
seb128ricotz, thx for the info :)14:40
ricotzseb128, https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/14:40
seb128yeah, I'm lost now :p14:41
ricotzhttps://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/6.3#6.3.2_release14:42
ricotz6.3 wiki seems accurate14:42
seb128k14:42
ricotzmarcustomlinson, regarding some recent component-mismatch fixes, imo it is better to move such dependency to Suggests to not loose track of them (as done in the past)14:46
didrocksLaney: seems like autopkgtests continues to try to execute on s390x while 0.2 and 0.2.1 doesn't have binaries produced for it, how do you unteach autopkgtests about s390x for it?14:48
Laneydunno, I thought that proposed-migration wouldn't have requested that one14:49
didrocksyeah, same. That made sense when n-1 had run with it, (so, logical for 0.2), but not for 0.2.114:50
didrocksany idea apart from putting an unblock on zsys/s390x?14:50
didrocks(without version, urgh… :/)14:50
Laneywell another way to do it would be to make the test skippable (Restrictions: skippable) and then exit 77 when it shouldn't be run14:52
didrockshum, if you have some example for debian/control/tests14:53
didrocksbut I guess 0.2.1 can need seom hint in between… :/14:54
didrocksdebian/tests/control14:54
didrocks(it's still annoying as an infra limitation to carry those skippable hints + exit hack forever)14:55
Laneysure14:55
didrocksthanks!14:55
Laneyi'm just telling you how you can help yourself out of it14:55
Laneyannoying or not14:55
didrocksweird that we are the first one to hit this, but yeah, if there is no other way, we'll do…14:57
willcookeLaney, I just this second got the wallpaper.  No greyscale though.  I will get that bug opened today one way or antother14:59
Laneydidrocks: something like https://paste.debian.net/1100280/15:11
Laneyand as for the actual fix, I guess it would be in https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release/britney/+git/britney2-ubuntu/tree/britney2/policies/autopkgtest.py tests_for_source15:11
Laneybut you'd probably have to be careful around e.g. arch:all packages15:11
Laneywillcooke: neat, is it 99999 TB?15:11
willcookelol15:12
willcookewow, 1.6MB15:13
didrocksLaney: ok, we don't have a running script, but a command, but I guess it accepts && and ||. I'll give it a shot, thanks15:13
didrocksuntil then, the hint will be fine, thanks :)15:14
didrocksif britney has a some testsuite, I might give it a shot directly there15:14
didrocksseeing the number of special cases and hacks there, /me shivers15:16
Laneyit sure does15:16

didrocksLaney: did you add the hint for zsys meanwhile? Unsure if the "yes" you told before was related to that16:45
didrocksI have something for skipping, but will be in next upload16:45
Laneyno I didn't, sorry for giving that impression17:00
LaneyI'd say it's probably best to test that right away so you don't get blocked / annoyed by it the next time?17:01
didrocksLaney: I would have liked to have it in tomorrow morning to avoid adding a ppa in our tests, but I need to download first an autopkgtests vm (which I don't have the time before tomorrow anyway) to test this works, but if you don't feel confortable about it, I'll have to deal with it17:04
Laneywell OK I can if you want17:04
LaneyI don't mind very much, I'm just giving you advice that you are free to not follow17:05
didrocksthanks :) Also, that would avoid a build with a dummy upload just to workaround some autopkgtests infra17:05
didrockslimitations*17:05
didrockswell, this is staged in my git17:05
Laneysure, but the risk you are facing is that the next upload this workaround is broken and you could have fixed it tomrorrow17:05
willcookeI'm not going to get the new wallpapers until tomorrow now17:05
didrocksjust that I want to properly test it and doesn't worth an upload (I'm sure we'll upload a new zsys anyway)17:06
didrocksyeah…17:06
willcookeI've opened a bug, but I expect I will need to make it a UIFe17:06
Laneyit totally is worth an upload to fix tests17:06
willcookeI gotta shoot off.  I'll keep an eye on email just in case though17:06
willcookenight all17:06
didrocksit's not really "fixing tests", it's fixing "autopkgtests infra which is launching tests on an arch where no package is published"17:06
didrocks(well, workarounding)17:07
Laneyright I'm not interested in splitting hairs with you17:07
LaneyI've committed the hint now17:07
didrocksthx17:07
Laneyactually I am17:09
LaneyI wasn't claiming this wasn't a workaround17:09
LaneyI was giving you advice that it would be better to test your workaround17:09
Laneyfine, it's important to you that it is autopkgtest's fault - that is not in dispute17:10
Laneystill good to make sure such things work as expected though17:10
Laneyimo17:10
Laneygoodnight17:10
