If you still have problems then please open a bug by running: ubuntu-bug gnome-shell [07:55] the worst is a chrome URL - here not only "select to copy" fails, it even isn't able to copy in any way [07:55] right-click there does nothing [07:56] Or open multiple bugs. Only one topic per bug [07:57] I usually update regularly [07:57] gnome-desktop3-data is the only desktop'ish package having an outstanding update [07:57] maybe a reboot will get me back [07:57] if not I'll file bugs [07:59] Generally it takes the details of the attachments in a bug report to figure out [07:59] IRC is not a good place for such things [07:59] yeah 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 bell [07:59] because if so, then IRC is a good place [07:59] That one doesn't ring a bell at all for me [08:03] moin [08:17] Hi Laney [08:47] hey Laney [09:46] Ugh, seems my Nvidia card doesn't do 4K [09:47] Now for the usual dance of Nvidia cards not offering low power, low profile and modern architectures all in one product [09:47] Also not fitting in my small case === ijohnson|EOD is now known as ijohnson [13:31] Hello desktoppers [13:31] hello Wimpress [13:31] hiya [13:31] heya [13:32] #startmeeting Desktop Team Weekly Meeting - 2020-07-14 [13:32] Meeting started Tue Jul 14 13:32:23 2020 UTC.

[13:36] http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-ff-tracking-bug-tasks.html [13:37] if the bug is assigned, it should be accepted and the incoming tag removed, no? [13:37] if it wants to be tracked on -tracking [13:37] otherwise just the latter [13:37] You speaking of #1886854 [13:37] yes [13:39] That bug has one reported and James doesn't appear to have worked on yet. [13:39] So unsure what status should be assigned. [13:40] let James comment before next week so it can be reviewed again? [13:40] OK [13:41] https://bugs.launchpad.net/deja-dup/+bug/1883254 [13:41] Ubuntu bug 1883254 in deja-dup (Ubuntu Focal) "No google authorization when doing a clean restore" [High,Fix committed] [13:41] Seb uploaded to groovy ^ [13:42] Thinking we should assign that one to him.

[13:43] Wimpress: yes, I've uploaded a fix for it already + SRUed it [13:44] Are the reports against the nvidia drivers accurate? [13:44] Or is it jusat a mutter issue? [13:44] Wimpress: it's just mutter, so marking as not-fix as well [13:45] What about g-c-c? [13:45] the task might have been added while adding focal to the mutter side [13:45] as well [13:46] OK, looks like it is all in hand.

[13:50] Is this just a KDE issue? [13:50] Lots of comments. [13:52] by server team, looks like there's a PPA for testing, but no feedback wether it works, no? [13:52] the spice-vdagent task for focal is incomplete because it lacks a reliable reproducer, it should be expiring soon [13:53] OK [13:53] but anyway, looks like server has adopted that one [13:53] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1868660 [13:53] Ubuntu bug 1868660 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu Focal) "gnome-shell crashed with SIGSEGV in st_theme_node_get_icon_style() from st_texture_cache_load_gicon() from st_icon_update() from _g_closure_invoke_va() from g_signal_emit_valist()" [Undecided,Fix committed] [13:53] That looks like Daniel is on it.

[14:02] Laney, 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) [14:03] that looks like a bug [14:03] I don't maintain that report [14:03] Séb does, right? [14:03] It also hasn't been updated since 2020-07-10 [14:03] soooo [14:03] ah, right, that explains it [14:03] so there's not much point in reviewing it [14:04] guess not [14:04] but you know about nodejs, so now is the time to ask for help if youw ant any :> [14:04] Who can spark that report back into life?

[14:26] extend unattended-upgrades? [14:26] update-manager? [14:26] OR? [14:29] Laney, i think for u-u this is very out of scope, but update-manager/update-notifier is a good fit [14:30] it doesn't feel "very" out of scope, it is a type of upgrade that we want to happen unattendedly [14:30] Laney, would we target servers as well? [14:30] could do I guess, but I don't think there are plans in that directino atm [14:31] Laney, by default u-u installs only from -security and i think OEM enablement would not qualify as security fix [14:32] sure, 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 that [14:32] sounds like you already did decide though, so fine [14:33] Laney, i did not set my opinion to stone :-) [14:33] ah ok! [14:34] Laney, by in-session i guess you mean in a desktop session? [14:34] (only) [14:35] Laney, sure [14:35] rbalint: currently yes, but that part would be via update-notifier I guess [14:35] like "you just got the good stuff, now to restart" [14:35] s/to/go/ [14:37] Laney, ok, i originally understood the plan like there was an ack needed _before_ the upgrade [14:38] tseliot_: so we could create a timer where ubuntu-drivers checks every and automatically installs any oem-*-meta packages it finds [14:38] Laney, u-u can surely add an origin to allow transitioning to oem enablement packages if the transitional packages are set up as such [14:38] rbalint: ah no, design told us that sucks [14:39] Laney, yeah, it depends, i prefer acking major changes but most people don't i guess [14:40] Laney, 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/promise [14:40] Laney: 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] weird thing is that they have to be installed in a 'special' way [14:41] since those install a new apt sources.list.d thing, you have to install/update/upgrade [14:41] Laney: ditto software properties used to also pop up, when new hardware support was discovered. [14:41] right, that was jockey [14:41] RIP [14:42] xnox: I think systemd path unit these days for notifying system -> session [14:43] rbalint: and we want to find 'half installed' ones, e.g. if you were offline when you installed ubuntu [14:43] not sure if this feels less like u-u's scope to you [14:43] Cause yeah, something does pop up to install updates & reboot? [14:43] update-manager does that, not sure exactly how [14:44] (or is that only with the deb based store?!) [14:44] oh that stuff [14:44] Ack on update-manager. [14:44] you mean like new firmware things [14:44] that's from gnome-software [14:44] I guess we COUUUUUUUULLLLLDDDDDDDDD write a plugin for that [14:45] Laney, half-installed as in dpkg's broken sense? [14:46] nah, like you got the sources.list.d thing [14:46] but because you weren't online ubiquity couldn't ge the stuff from there [14:46] so it needs to be 'finished off' later [14:48] I think driving this all from a timer in ubuntu-drivers is starting to make most sense to me [14:57] Laney, install automatically? [14:58] or ask the user? [14:58] tseliot_: auto, mp_t said that prompting is not a good experience in this case [14:59] it's the same in ubiquity, no ui there either [15:00] Laney, it sounds a little scary. What if things fail? The user would have no way to know that something went wrong [15:00] like what, failing part way through an upgrade? [15:03] It will often switch your kernel flavour from generic to oem, so I suppose it *is* actually relatively risky [15:04] ok, maybe that tips it towards being presented as an item in the list that update-manager shows you [15:04] Laney, 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 well [15:05] Laney, yes, a separate list in update-manager would be the best, i think [15:07] Hi Laney, do you possibly have time to sponsor a Debian package upload? [15:07] https://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team/ibus-typing-booster/ [15:08] Laney, as long as the user has the chance to opt out of automatic updates, then I think it's ok [16:13] GunnarHj: I'm sorry, I can't right now, stuck on some other things [16:13] why aren't you a DD or a DM? :> [16:15] Laney: 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...
