dufluGreat. Though I know very little of Xorg's internals07:17
WimpressIt is a one line patch. In fact a revert that upstream made yesterday.07:17
tjaaltonWimpress: I prefer to work with git07:18
tjaaltonand there are other pending fixes07:18
tjaaltonduflu: cool07:19
dufluWimpress, yeah I was about to say that. I guess the patch tagging needs improving and we don't need to review it further other than to consider the severity of the issue. tjaalton can roll it into an update07:19
dufluExtra nice that the author of the offending commit now calls it bogus07:23
dufluSo there's no debate07:23

mitya57clobrano: Hi, I want to make a new yaru-theme upload to fix bug 1853768. What do you prefer: a new upstream tag based on master, or cherry-pick the needed changes on top of 19.10.5?10:03
ubot5bug 1853768 in yaru-theme (Ubuntu) "Qt apps, like kid3-qt, which uses legacy icons "document-*.png", show them as normal document icon under Yaru theme" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/185376810:03
mitya57(Or I should ask someone else?)10:04
clobranohey mitya57, I think that current master has some updates we want to show in 20.04 first, so for me the cherry-pick is a good option, if possible, but about new release asks Laney, didrocks and seb128 opinions first :)10:06
mitya57Thanks for response. I want uploads for both Focal and Eoan (for Eoan, after the current version in -proposed migrates).10:08
* mitya57 waits for the mentioned people's opinion10:09
didrockshey marcustomlinson10:12
didrocksI’m unsure SRUing is something that will help a lot (time for the release to get done and so on)10:12
didrocksfor focal, shouldn’t we just release master, once ready?10:12
mitya57didrocks: for focal, I'm fine with master, just want to know when it will be “ready”.10:16
mitya57for eoan, it's not a problem for me to do the SRU, there are several affected apps and I have seen complains about this bug in some upstream bugtrackers too.10:16
seb128hey marcustomlinson, how are you today?10:17
didrocksmitya57: I think clobrano will decide when they want to prepare for a worthy and stable release :)10:17
seb128mitya57, eoan already has a SRU in proposed that needs to clear off first10:17
mitya57seb128: I saw that, that’s why I said “after the current version in -proposed migrates” above.10:18
seb128ah, right10:18
mitya57But indeed, if that version takes a long to migrate, then the fix for Eoan will be less important. But now there are still 3 months before Focal release so I consider it important.10:19
didrocksack, let's see once the current one migrate10:20
mitya57Ok, I will wait then and ask again later if needed.10:20
seb128you can probably SRU another version with the icon fixes10:20
seb128to replace the current one10:21
mitya57That may delay migration of gnome-shell/mutter so I will better wait.10:21
Laneymoin10:22
mitya57Looking at bug 1857037, it still needs verification10:22

xnoxLaney:  i guess the question is if gutsy will have oem-20.04 or oem-20.1013:37
Laneydo we have oem kernels for non-ltses anyway?13:38

RikMillsis anyone looking at merging alsa-utils? alsa-lib 1.2.1 in proposed has breaks on alsa-utils < 1.2.1 so breaks 1.1.9.in release16:17
RikMills^ seb128 perhaps ;)16:17
seb128doko, ^ you did sync that version16:17
RikMillsnot urgent, but I noticed a couple of testers on a forum complaining of uninstalability. wtf they are doing running with proposed enabled, I don't know!16:21
seb128yeah, unsure why people opt in for it :/ maybe they do for SRU testing and then upgrade to a non stable serie and still have it? (or do we make the dist-upgrade comment out proposed in such cases? if we don't we should)16:22
LaneyI would bet you people want the 'latest' stuff16:22
seb128:(16:22
LaneyDMB nominations16:36
* Laney looks at seb128 and didrocks ;-)16:36
seb128lol16:36
RikMillsAlso people on forums say 'all seems fine with proposed', so others try it. Often with desktop systems running a small subset of the archive, it might be fine for long periods. So small group confirmation bias sets in16:38
RikMillsuntil it all goes BANG16:38
Laneywe should upload viruses up there every so often16:39
Laneyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uaYcnFQF-g16:40
* didrocks unsure that will be sane in term of $TIME :p16:43
xnoxLaney:  looks good! push it.16:44
xnoxLaney:  on top of my branch, or instead of it? but i guess you do want the python2 fixes that are in my branch too16:44
Laneyxnox: that was on top of your branch anyway16:44
Laneylet me push that somewhere and you can merge, then we merge the combined thing, or something16:44
LaneyI mean assuming the logic is right16:45
Laneymaybe we should check with apw16:45
xnoxLaney:  apart from i don't have commit rights =)16:45
xnoxLaney:  maybe we should double check with apw.16:45

diddledanDuflu, re: the new crash caused after the fix in LP #1776447, there's a new upstream fix that I'll test in about 4 hours from now when I'm back at a computer. If it works I'll update the debdiffs with the newer change and ping you again16:49

Laneyxnox: I suppose the other idea is to only include oem-xx.yy for lts series eh? or do we want to do this for interim releases too?16:50
* diddledan pongs wimpress instead just to say hi 😜16:50

diddledanWibblin wot sits, Batman!16:51
diddledanGotcha16:51
xnoxLaney:  i have no idea16:53
xnoxLaney:  surely we can revisit this during 20.10 cycle. And when 20.10 opens, it will contain a copy-up oem-20.0416:54
LaneyI guess so16:54
* Laney is trying to guard against forgetting to do this16:54
Laneyseen that enough times :(16:54
xnoxyes.....16:55
tjaaltonenablement is only done on lts16:55
xnoxLaney:  also not sure what to do in livecd-rootfs, cause it has -20.04 hardcoded there. I guess invoke ubuntu-disto-info-data thing to query the last known lts?16:55
xnoxtjaalton:  but the oem kernel flavour does and must exist in intermediate releases.16:56
xnoxtjaalton:  because, at least in the past, none of the metapackages rolled off to generic kernel in the intermediate releases16:56
Laneyxnox: same logic I guess16:56

robert_ancellseb128, still around?20:09
seb128robert_ancell, yes20:13
robert_ancellseb128, quick question about g-c-c, are you familiar with the privacy panel patches?20:13
seb128robert_ancell, which ones specifically?20:14
robert_ancellThe privacy panels have been radically relayout, and I'm wondering how to integrate the connectivity switch (which panel?), the whoopsie control (which panel?) and the "hide buggy controls" (still applicable?)20:14
robert_ancellconnectivity-switch.patch privacy-panel-whoopsie.patch and ubuntu_privacy_hide_buggy_controls.patch20:15
robert_ancellI'll go to mpt next but I thought you might have some history on these.20:15
seb128robert_ancell, well, connectivity is only an extra toggle, https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/merge_requests/348 for discussion/history20:16

seb128I've not seen the new design, probably best to check with mpt where it fits20:16
seb128maybe it's own subpanel?20:16
robert_ancellYeah, I was thinking that we might have to add a subpanel or two.20:17
kenvandinegood morning robert_ancell20:17

seb128+  self->abrt_status = GTK_LABEL (gtk_label_new (""));20:17
robert_ancellseb128, seems to be gone in the new privacy layout.20:17
seb128:(20:18
seb128one for mpt then I guess20:18
robert_ancelloh, wait. Yeah, there it is.20:18
seb128robert_ancell, and "hide buggy control" probably still apply20:18
seb128robert_ancell, the micro/camera control only apply to flatpaks (and maybe snaps) which means you deny access to the camera ... but cheese (installed as a deb) still use the camera20:19
robert_ancellseb128, so hide the whole camera/mic subpanels?20:19
seb128which makes it look buggy20:19
seb128I would say yes20:19
seb128unless ^ is resolved20:19
seb128or that at least the wording hints that only some applications respect this setting20:19
robert_ancellHmm, perhaps we can patch in a label.20:19
seb128(but then it's more confusing than useful and it's tricky to convey which applications)20:20
seb128iirc mpt hinted that it was not really possible to describe what applications in a way user would understand20:20
seb128"debs still have access" -> what is deb?20:20
seb128"how do I check"20:20
robert_ancellyeah20:20
robert_ancellLife is terrible mid-transition.20:21
seb128imho we have better things to work on, I would just keep distro patching it out20:21
seb128well, it's more that GNOME doesn't accomodate for the real world :p20:21
robert_ancelltroll :P20:21
robert_ancellOK, thanks! I just wanted a high level view of these patches. I'll go to mpt for more answers.20:21
tjaaltonseb128: probably, I'd need to figure out how to get a vm instance on bos0221:02
robert_ancelljamesh, did you ever propose your whoopsie changes upstream to g-c-c?21:22
seb128tjaalton, do you really need that? the openscad test were enough to reproduce the bug for me on a bos01 s390x instance, no need of a vm/working graphical session22:22
seb128robert_ancell, it's not friday, no trolling, but that example is a typical. Those controls don't act on most available/used apps, nothing prevent a random app to be written and bypass the setting, they are misleading at best (you could argue they are security material, users could trust the setting real avoid access to their camera/microphone which it doesn't)22:28
