tkamppeterI posted here about keyboard problems, I think last Wednesday, a Lenovo technician came and fixed it, is all OK now and not a Ubuntu (desktop) bug.09:14
marcustomlinsontkamppeter: good to know :)09:22
dupondjeAre there plans to upgrade network-manager to 1.20.6 ?10:28
dupondjeOn Eoan10:28
marcustomlinsontkamppeter: ^?10:54
tkamppeterdupondje, no, there was no talk about this and also Eoan is not an LTS, so the work of such an high-impact change is not worthwile and the time until it is tested and regressions are fixed can be too long for the 9-month live time.11:26
dupondjetkamppeter: ok np :) Just wanted it to have it working fine with iwd 1.0. But I'll build my own then :)11:50

marcustomlinsonsomething is up with the clipboard in ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/185218316:45
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1852183 in mutter (Ubuntu) "copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10" [Undecided,New]16:45
marcustomlinsonit's not a wayland thing, I see this on X16:47
Trevinhomarcustomlinson: mh, weird, I can have a look though16:47
Trevinhomarcustomlinson: have you seen if there's something gnome issues upstream?16:47
marcustomlinsonthanks Trevinho, I've done a bunch of googling there was one bug somewhere about performance but not this16:48
Trevinhomarcustomlinson: is there an easy reproducer?16:48

Trevinhoas reading the bug I dind't encounter a clear way16:49
marcustomlinsonTrevinho: if you watch my screencasts you'll see it's pretty easy to produce16:49

ubot5Ubuntu bug 1852183 in mutter (Ubuntu) "copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10" [Undecided,New]16:49
Trevinhocarlos mentioned a change in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/824 that is just wayland only though16:50
gitbotGNOME issue 824 in mutter "Clipboard issue with virt-manager/spice-gtk" [Opened]16:50
marcustomlinsonright, but that bug doesn't really sound related16:50
Trevinhoin arch they say it just works when disabling the clipboard manager, so indeed related (see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63881#comment182271)16:51
seb128marcustomlinson, you should report it on gitlab, the clipboard management was moved out of gnome-settings-daemon this cycle so it's possible the new implementation has issues17:14
marcustomlinsonseb128: though it looks like we’re on the same version of mutter as Debian (unstable) and it’s not broken there17:18

Smaughey all -- I'm on 16.04.  a python pip package I want to install requires CMake 3.6, while 16.04 only has 3.5.    So I am considering purging cmake and building it from source (either 3.6 or a more recent version).  What I want to know is, could having a later version of cmake cause problems with installing other programs in the future that except no later than 3.5?17:28
Smaug*expect17:29
davidkrauserSmaug: if you're worried about that, you can install CMake somewhere outside the system PATH (like $HOME/.local/bin for example)17:31
ograSmaug, sudo snap install cmake --classic17:45
ogra(brings you 3.15.x ...)17:46
seb128marcustomlinson, you are sure it's not broken there? also Debian defaults to wayland17:50
marcustomlinsonseb128: if you see my Debian sceencast in the last comment, can't reproduce the issue17:54
marcustomlinsonregardless of whether I'm on wayland or x11 (I didn't make that clear)17:55
marcustomlinsonseb128: oh damn, wait you're right17:55
marcustomlinsonI didn't switch to X properly...17:55
marcustomlinsonThe same issue can be seen on X in Debian, sorry, I will report this upstream17:56
seb128thx17:57
marcustomlinsonthank you17:59
Smaugdavidkrauser: ogra: thanks for the suggestions will look into! :)18:14
Smaugdavidkrauser: but another question I have is -- *should* i be worried about it?18:14
Smaugi don't know enough about package installation to say18:14
Smaugassuming that in general I am using apt-get for things18:15
marcustomlinsonalright, I'm out. Have good evening everyone18:21
davidkrauserSmaug: that's a hard question to answer. Really just brings to mind more questions: what changed between CMake 3.5 and 3.6? Were any of those breaking changes? Were there any bugs introduced in 3.6 that weren't in 3.5?18:24
davidkrauserWe can also ask ourselves questions like: What will go wrong if there is an incompatibility with 3.6 and some other package? And how can we fix it?18:24
davidkrauserThese sorts of questions are asked whenever a package is updated in an Ubuntu  stable release: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates18:24
Smaugdavidkrauser: thanks18:25
davidkrauserSmaug, I think in your case, you may be fine. But every setup is different, and I haven't looked at all into what changed18:25
Smaugi appreciate it!18:25
davidkrauserbut worst case scenario, you can always remove the new version of CMake and go back to the old18:25
Smaugogra: how do I make ubuntu use the snap installed cmake?  doing `cmake --version` on command line after installation shows old snap.  specifically, how would I make a pip-installer use it?18:32
davidkrauserSmaug is this the first snap you've installed?18:34
davidkrausermay need to log out/log in if so18:35
Smaugon this computer?  not sure18:35
Smaugseems so18:35
Smaugreally?18:35
JanCmarcustomlinson: does it happen with all types of text or only with special text like e.g. file paths & URLs & such?18:36
davidkrauserSmaug: actually, do you still have the old cmake installed? If you look at `echo $PATH` you'll see that `/snap/bin` is at the end of the list. If the `cmake` command shows up earlier in a folder in that list, it will use that version18:43
davidkrauserSmaug: you can temporarily get around that in your terminal by setting your PATH to something like `export PATH=/snap/bin:$PATH`. Then if you run `cmake --version` you should see the right version18:45
Smaugah thank you!18:45
Smaugthat is perfect18:45
Smaugso now I can have both cmakes but use the appropriate version by changing PATH18:46
marcustomlinsonJanC: see my screencasts on the Ubuntu bug. Was just plain text18:56
marcustomlinsonEasy to reproduce18:57
Trevinhomarcustomlinson: mh, not sure I can't reproduce it... -_-19:37
Trevinhojust copy and paste a cell works fine here19:37
Trevinhousing the archive version though19:37
Laneythis is the clipboard bug that I was aware of, happens if you're running VMs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=175503819:42
ubot5bugzilla.redhat.com bug 1755038 in spice-vdagent "VM clipboard integration wipes clipboard contents randomly and frequently (X11 host)" [Unspecified,Assigned]19:42
marcustomlinsonTrevinho, just reproduced it on native Eoan, no vm20:54
marcustomlinsonJust keep copy and pasting over and over20:55
marcustomlinsonIt can happen on the 3rd time, it can happen on the 30th time.21:02
