cpaelzerhey Desktop people, I'm looking for some hints where to actually look at07:53
cpaelzersince the last few weeks my focal desktop slowly gets worse and worse07:54
cpaelzerthe lock screen no more auto-locks, if I do it manually the first time it flickers and is back on the desktop (I assume something crashes in the background) the second tmie works07:54
cpaelzerthat is already odd, but I can live with it07:54
duflucpaelzer, that sounds like a bug that just got fixed in gnome-shell 3.36.307:54
cpaelzerbut recently mouse behavior changed a lot - if in front of a text console the coursor becomes invisible until I click07:55
cpaelzeralso "select to copy" no more works everywhere07:55
duflucpaelzer, make sure the system is fully up to date. If you still have problems then please open a bug by running:  ubuntu-bug gnome-shell07:55
cpaelzerthe worst is a chrome URL - here not only "select to copy" fails, it even isn't able to copy in any way07:55
cpaelzerright-click there does nothing07:55
dufluOr open multiple bugs. Only one topic per bug07:56
cpaelzerI usually update regularly07:57
cpaelzergnome-desktop3-data is the only desktop'ish package having an outstanding update07:57
cpaelzermaybe a reboot will get me back07:57
cpaelzerif not I'll file bugs07:57
dufluGenerally it takes the details of the attachments in a bug report to figure out07:59
dufluIRC is not a good place for such things07:59
cpaelzeryeah I know, I mostly wanted to ask in case this "right click doesn't even open a context menu to copy anymore" would ting a bell07:59
cpaelzerbecause if so, then IRC is a good place07:59
dufluThat one doesn't ring a bell at all for me07:59
Laneymoin08:03
dufluHi Laney08:17
marcustomlinsonhey Laney08:47
dufluUgh, seems my Nvidia card doesn't do 4K09:46
dufluNow for the usual dance of Nvidia cards not offering low power, low profile and modern architectures all in one product09:47
dufluAlso not fitting in my small case09:47

WimpressAre the reports against the nvidia drivers accurate?13:44
WimpressOr is it jusat a mutter issue?13:44
TrevinhoWimpress: it's just mutter, so marking as not-fix as well13:44
WimpressWhat about g-c-c?13:45
Trevinhothe task might have been added while adding focal to the mutter side13:45
Trevinhoas well13:45

Trevinhowe said that was handled already, but didn't get any feedback at latest comment13:48
WimpressHandled how?13:50
WimpressIs this just a KDE issue?13:50
WimpressLots of comments.13:50
Trevinhoby server team, looks like there's a PPA for testing, but no feedback wether it works, no?13:52
oSoMoNthe spice-vdagent task for focal is incomplete because it lacks a reliable reproducer, it should be expiring soon13:52
WimpressOK13:53
marcustomlinsonbut anyway, looks like server has adopted that one13:53

WimpressThat look like it requires input from Foundations.13:58
oSoMoNFWIW I installed it last week, and I can confirm it works as intended, it regularly kills some chromium renderer processes before my desktop become unusable13:59

WimpressOK14:02
WimpressJust a few in excuses.14:02
WimpressAnything in there anyone need help with?14:02
oSoMoNLaney, the update_excuses_by_team report says firefox is waiting on firejail/armhf, but it's not (it's blocked on the nodejs build-dep though)14:02
oSoMoNthat looks like a bug14:03
LaneyI don't maintain that report14:03
oSoMoNSéb does, right?14:03
LaneyIt also hasn't been updated since 2020-07-1014:03
Laneysoooo14:03
oSoMoNah, right, that explains it14:03
oSoMoNso there's not much point in reviewing it14:03
Laneyguess not14:04
Laneybut you know about nodejs, so now is the time to ask for help if youw ant any :>14:04
WimpressWho can spark that report back into life?14:04
oSoMoNI already requested help in my +1 maintenance report to ubuntu-devel14:05
oSoMoNif anyone on the team feels like helping with fixing node-* autopkgtest, your help will be very welcome :)14:06
WimpressOK14:06
WimpressAnything else on excuses?14:06

WimpressLaney: No that more interesting :-)14:10
Laneyxnox: rbalint: tseliot_: Wimpress: can we create a Brain Trust about in-session prompting to upgrade to OEM enablement packages pls14:25
LaneyI dunno how exactly to build this :>14:26
Laneycreate a timer and some kind of notification system for ubuntu-drivers?14:26
Laneyextend unattended-upgrades?14:26
Laneyupdate-manager?14:26
LaneyOR?14:26
rbalintLaney, i think for u-u this is very out of scope, but update-manager/update-notifier is a good fit14:29
Laneyit doesn't feel "very" out of scope, it is a type of upgrade that we want to happen unattendedly14:30
rbalintLaney, would we target servers as well?14:30
Laneycould do I guess, but I don't think there are plans in that directino atm14:30
rbalintLaney, by default u-u installs only from -security and i think OEM enablement would not qualify as security fix14:31
Laneysure, but this is a rule that could change if it were a good idea to do so, I thought you should be tagged in the discussion to decide that14:32
Laneysounds like you already did decide though, so fine14:32
rbalintLaney, i did not set my opinion to stone :-)14:33
Laneyah ok!14:33
rbalintLaney, by in-session i guess you mean in a desktop session?14:34
rbalint(only)14:34
tseliot_Laney, sure14:35
Laneyrbalint: currently yes, but that part would be via update-notifier I guess14:35
Laneylike "you just got the good stuff, now to restart"14:35
Laneys/to/go/14:35
rbalintLaney, ok, i originally understood the plan like there was an ack needed _before_ the upgrade14:37
Laneytseliot_: so we could create a timer where ubuntu-drivers checks every <interval> and automatically installs any oem-*-meta packages it finds14:38
rbalintLaney, u-u can surely add an origin to allow transitioning to oem enablement packages if the transitional packages are set up as such14:38
Laneyrbalint: ah no, design told us that sucks14:38
rbalintLaney, yeah, it depends, i prefer acking major changes but most people don't i guess14:39
rbalintLaney, if we would like to make use of u-u I suggest creating an oem enablement -security origin for that to stay consistent with u-u's scope/promise14:40
xnoxLaney: previously we had things emit upstart session events, which would then pop-up GUI. I.e. for CDROM inserted with Ubuntu debs, would you like to upgrade.14:40
Laneyweird thing is that they have to be installed in a 'special' way14:40
Laneysince those install a new apt sources.list.d thing, you have to install/update/upgrade14:41
xnoxLaney: ditto software properties used to also pop up, when new hardware support was discovered.14:41
Laneyright, that was jockey14:41
LaneyRIP14:41
Laneyxnox: I think systemd path unit these days for notifying system -> session14:42
Laneyrbalint: and we want to find 'half installed' ones, e.g. if you were offline when you installed ubuntu14:43
Laneynot sure if this feels less like u-u's scope to you14:43
xnoxCause yeah, something does pop up to install updates & reboot?14:43
Laneyupdate-manager does that, not sure exactly how14:43
xnox(or is that only with the deb based store?!)14:44
Laneyoh that stuff14:44
xnoxAck on update-manager.14:44
Laneyyou mean like new firmware things14:44
Laneythat's from gnome-software14:44
LaneyI guess we COUUUUUUUULLLLLDDDDDDDDD write a plugin for that14:44
rbalintLaney, half-installed as in dpkg's broken sense?14:45
Laneynah, like you got the sources.list.d thing14:46
Laneybut because you weren't online ubiquity couldn't ge the stuff from there14:46
Laneyso it needs to be 'finished off' later14:46
LaneyI think driving this all from a timer in ubuntu-drivers is starting to make most sense to me14:48
tseliot_Laney, install automatically?14:57
tseliot_or ask the user?14:58
Laneytseliot_: auto, mp_t said that prompting is not a good experience in this case14:58
Laneyit's the same in ubiquity, no ui there either14:59
tseliot_Laney, it sounds a little scary. What if things fail? The user would have no way to know that something went wrong15:00
Laneylike what, failing part way through an upgrade?15:00
LaneyIt will often switch your kernel flavour from generic to oem, so I suppose it *is* actually relatively risky15:03
Laneyok, maybe that tips it towards being presented as an item in the list that update-manager shows you15:04
rbalintLaney, i think update-manager's settings should apply here, if the user want all updates installed without asking then then she/he gets the oem packages as well15:04
rbalintLaney, yes, a separate list in update-manager would be the best, i think15:05
GunnarHjHi Laney, do you possibly have time to sponsor a Debian package upload?15:07
GunnarHjhttps://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team/ibus-typing-booster/15:07
tseliot_Laney, as long as the user has the chance to opt out of automatic updates, then I think it's ok15:08
LaneyGunnarHj: I'm sorry, I can't right now, stuck on some other things16:13
Laneywhy aren't you a DD or a DM? :>16:13
GunnarHjLaney: Ok, I'll try with someone else. As regards DO/DM I have hesitated so far because I'm not too fond of the paper work involved in such an application. But maybe I should reconsider...16:15
