seb128duflu, I'm alright, it was a bit less warm this night and I slept better07:28
jibelseb128, ça va bien, osomon est venu passer quelques jours à la maison, c'était sympa. Et le temps est redevenu plus supportable. 07:38

seb128hey marcustomlinson, how are you?07:44
seb128jibel, c'est sympa une halte comme ça :-)07:45
marcustomlinsonseb128: yeah alright, you?07:45
jibelseb128, tu es le bienvenu aussi si jamais vous passez en bretagne07:45
cpaelzerjibel: that LGTM, I can sponsor it if you want07:55
cpaelzerjibel: your test build is for 1.6.107:58
cpaelzerthe current package is 1.6.007:58
cpaelzerdo you want me to review/sponsor the fix on top of 1.6.0 or is there a full 1.6.1 to come?07:58
cpaelzerin the latter case you might want someoen with more context knowledge07:58
cpaelzerarr07:59
cpaelzerthis is native - so the cahnge makes it 1.6.107:59
* cpaelzer crawls out of his own trap :-)07:59
cpaelzerthe very noisy diff made me nervous https://launchpadlibrarian.net/493259121/autopilot-gtk_1.6.0_1.6.1.diff.gz08:00
cpaelzerbut the fix https://git.launchpad.net/autopilot-gtk/commit/?id=00d7a3d7111cdca00b949bfa9c315781e6701328 LGTM and I'd sponsor that if you want08:00
cpaelzerdo you ?08:00
jibelcpaelzer, that's weird08:00
jibelcpaelzer, can you just sponsor the fix then, i'll have a look at this strange diff08:01
cpaelzeryes08:01
cpaelzerand I'll do my own check build before sponsoring08:01
jibellooks like a direct upload not committed t o git08:01
cpaelzerjust to be sure08:01

LaneyI'm alright08:07
Laneysome jerk of a mosquito bit me though, itchyyyyy08:07
seb128jibel, cpaelzer, the diff noise seems to be mostly .git being included in the update for some reason and then one commit which was probably missing from the vcs08:07
seb128Laney, we have been dealing with those for a few nights, really annoying08:07
jibelcpaelzer, actually it's sample git hooks that shouldn't have been uploaded. But there is still one diff in hello_color.ui that shouldn't be there08:08
seb128waking every hour to the bzzzz sound near your head08:08
cpaelzerjibel: a test build wit hjust the fix worked welll08:08
cpaelzerjibel: I'll upload it08:08
jibelcpaelzer, great, thanks08:08
cpaelzerjibel: maybe set a marker to check tomorrow if everything worked out as planned?08:08
jibelcpaelzer, yes, I'll do that.08:08
dufluMorning Laney08:19
jameshLaney: I worked out why my "GDM on Ubuntu Core" prototype was running the greeter under X11: I didn't have Xwayland installed08:34
Laneyhey duflu jamesh 08:34
Laneyah!08:34
Laneyhow come that wasn't more obvious in the log?08:34
jameshbecause it doesn't log anything for this: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/blob/master/daemon/gdm-local-display-factory.c#L20008:35
Laneyoho, this shortcuts the "try wayland, fail, try X" path completely08:37
jameshThis is the commit that introduced the check: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdm/-/commit/9ab95809ddd201c2c8b030a814287c3be73d03be08:37
Laneyfair enough, although a log message might be warranted08:40

GunnarHjHi all!09:51
GunnarHjQuestion: Who is responsible for the selection of fonts and the fonts configuration choices on a default Ubuntu install? I'm asking due to the discourse discussion about Arabic fonts. Somebody mentioned Kubuntu, and I noticed that they prefer Noto Sans over DejaVu Sans and with that make Noto Sans fonts the default for most scripts of significance. While that approach probably affects the bulk of Ubuntu users, it makes it 09:51
GunnarHjmuch easier to provide improved font rendering for quite a few non-latin scripts.09:51
GunnarHjI can't help wondering if that configuration has been considered for standard Ubuntu but dismissed. Or has nobody considered this topic in several years?09:51
seb128GunnarHj, hey, I don't think we have any 'font person' in the team or had one for a while09:53
GunnarHjseb128: Then how would you go about proposing a significant change?09:54
seb128good luck? ;-)09:58
seb128GunnarHj, I think a discourse post with the proposed changes, a summary of the pro/con and maybe screenshot showing the impact09:59
GunnarHjseb128: Sounds reasonable. Even if the Kubuntu approach looks interesting, I'm probably not ready to start such a project for groovy. Think I will stick to fixing Arabic 'the clumsy way' (i.e. a language/locale guarded improvement) for now.10:06
GunnarHjseb128: Btw, any chance can you sponsor the latest seed MR? (The rest is pure language-selector fixes.)10:12
GunnarHjhttps://code.launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu/+merge/38918010:12
GunnarHjseb128: Repeating since you were temporarily disconnected:10:15
GunnarHjBtw, any chance can you sponsor the latest seed MR? (The rest is pure language-selector fixes.)10:15
GunnarHjhttps://code.launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu/+merge/38918010:15
seb128GunnarHj, what's the purpose? unsure what difference supported makes there, I'm not really familiar with such changes 10:16
seb128I've started a board for 3.38 updates so we can synchronize work better10:17
seb128https://trello.com/b/sdyPskaS/gnome-33810:17
seb128Laney, Trevinho , marcustomlinson : ^10:17
seb128you are probably the most interested10:18
GunnarHjseb128: If I understand it correctly, including those packages in supported means that if you install Ubuntu using the Arabic language, the installer pulls them. Otherwise not.10:18
seb128GunnarHj, k, I would prefer someone understanding the installer to confirm that10:18
LaneyNo, that is ship-live10:18
Laneyconfirm with e.g. fonts-nafees on http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/current/groovy-desktop-amd64.manifest10:19
GunnarHjLaney: But then how would you make the standard Ubuntu installer pull those packages? Or is it sufficient to include them in pkg_depends?10:20
GunnarHjLaney: To clarify: I'm not talking about including the packages on the ISO. I'm talking about making the installer pull them from the archive if the user is contected to the net when installing.10:25
LaneyI see, then maybe having them in main is enough10:25
cpaelzerjibel: autopilot-gtk built fine on all arches and entered the autppkgtest queues10:25
cpaelzerI hope the results will be as green as the test history on it :-)10:26
GunnarHjLaney: A comment on that file says: "Fonts installed on demand by language-selector:"10:29
GunnarHjhttps://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/ubuntu/tree/supported#n7210:29
GunnarHjLaney: I thought that the way to make them be considered to be in main is to add them there.10:29
GunnarHjLaney: Why would we else have that list?10:30
LaneyIt is, that's what it is for10:34
Laneyso perhaps it is OK if you only care about people who are online10:34
LaneyI don't think I've tried that facility myself, can't speak for how/if it does that10:35
GunnarHjLaney: Well, either on line when installing of opening language-selector after install. That's the possible way I see short-term to respond to the request for better Arabic rendering. Doing something else would require big changes (see above).10:37
GunnarHjLaney: I was pretty sure (before you objected) that it works the way I claim. :)10:37
LaneyI didn't know from your initial question that you only wanted it to work when online10:38
LaneyPerhaps it does10:38
GunnarHjLaney, seb128: So, does any of you have the guts to sponsor that MR?10:40
marcustomlinsonseb128: cool thanks10:41
LaneyGunnarHj: Not right now10:51
LaneyI dunno if we need MIRs for fonts or anything10:51
GunnarHjLaney: The fonts-noto source package is in main already.10:51
Laneyok10:52
Laneystill no, sorry10:52
Laneybusy with other things10:52
GunnarHjLaney: It's no urgency really. I'm fine for now if the conclusion is that it's the right thing to do. Then I can proceed with discussing some details with some Arabic users.10:54
LaneyGunnarHj: Why don't you upload the language-selector bits to groovy now and see if people are happy with it?11:03
LaneyThen if so we can do the seeding thing11:03
GunnarHjLaney: Sure, that may be a better order of things. So far it has been a discourse discussion only, and I want to have a couple of things clarified from the Arabaic users before uploading.11:09
seb128GunnarHj, sorry I disconnect during lunch, I don't understand enough those changes to be comfortable uploading atm but document what you propose and we should try to get the changes reviewed one way or another at some point11:31
seb128would also be useful to know what Debian does in that regard11:31
GunnarHjseb128: While you were off line, I agreed with L_aney that I'll upload the language-selector changes first. Sure, I can take a look at Debian too, but I don't expect it to help much. Debian tends to just provide fonts packages and leave it to the user to handle the configuration, while we make some effort at least to provide a sensible default for the most important scripts.11:37
seb128k11:38
seb128+1 from me to start with language-selector11:38
seb128Hum, why is gnome-software still in main? 14:02
seb128I would have expect it to fall into universe when we switched to snap-store14:03
seb128I only see gstreamer1.0-packagekit which recommends 'gnome-software | apper | packagekit-installer' is that enough to make it stay there?14:03
kenvandineseb128: yeah, i was wondering about that14:08
seb128I could try to demote and see how that goes :p14:08
kenvandineawesome.... what could possibly go wrong :)14:10
Laneyyou get told off by do_ko :>14:11
kenvandinelol14:16
Laneyfml14:30
Laneyhow does update-manager defeat focus stealing protection so well :(14:30
hellsworthgood morning desktopers15:49
hellsworthLaney: thank you for catching my typo!!! i so didn't see that...15:50
Laneyhey hellsworth 15:55
Laneyno worries, the errors you got were *quite suspicious* :)15:55
hellsworthhey Laney autopkgtest is running on my old ass pi!15:55
hellsworthit's funny that my pi 4 is just sitting by while the 3 takes the show :)15:56
hellsworthand armhf builds fail consistently on LO 7. so no magical fix and the build failure sounds potentially related to the autopkgtest failure15:57
Laneycould be that if you rebuilt 6.4.5 it would now fail in the same way15:57
hellsworthpossibly15:57
hellsworthLaney: is there a way to get maximum debug output to sdtout from the autopkgtest?15:59
Laneyyou can get autopkgtest *itself* to give you debug output, but that's not going to make the test it is running do anything different I'm afraid16:00
hellsworthoh i see16:01
Laneyyou'll want to modify the debian/tests/foo script & other bits of the package for that16:01
hellsworthokey dokey16:01
hellsworthwe'll see how this goes paired with the system logs before i do that though16:01
Laney👍16:08
* hellsworth switches gears to giving the libreoffice snap some much needed tlc...16:09
hellsworthLaney: hmm now my autopkgtest is failing because no space left on device.. but i used a 32Gb sd card in this old pi16:21
hellsworthcould this be because there is only 1Gb of ram?16:21
ricotzhey desktopers16:21
hellsworthi don't have any newer armhf hw...16:21
hellsworthmaybe marcus' qemu path is the way to go then16:22
LaneyI dunno, how did you configure lxd?16:22
Laneyyou can run armhf on arm64 fwiw16:22
hellsworthlxd init with all of the defaults except i chose to make the conatiner accessable over the network16:22
Laneyhi ricotz 16:22
hellsworthoh Laney that is a game changer..16:22
LaneyI don't remember what the defaults are, does it make a weird small partition?!?!?!16:22
hellsworthlet me get groovy on my pi4 then16:22
Laneyheh16:22
ricotzLaney, hellsworth, hey16:22
hellsworthhey ricotz 16:22
ricotzhellsworth, do you have an armhf build to run autopkgtests with?16:24
hellsworthi do and that was my goal but i'm running out of space..16:24
hellsworth6.4.516:25
ricotzah I see16:25
hellsworthtrying to troubleshoot the 6.4.5 issue so we can maybe stop holding up so many things in proposed16:25
ricotzso the current binary in groovy16:25
hellsworthyep16:25
ricotzok16:25
hellsworthmy 7.0 armhf build failed after 22 hours..16:26
ricotzthe actual gcc 10 ICE look bad still16:26
ricotz /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/dbaccess/source/core/api/StaticSet.cxx: In member function ‘virtual com::sun::star::uno::Any dbaccess::OStaticSet::getBookmark()’:16:26
hellsworthdid something change?16:26
ricotz /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/dbaccess/source/core/api/StaticSet.cxx:47:1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault16:26
hellsworththat look slike the same failure16:26
ricotzyeah, same thing16:26
Laneyricotz: can you file a bug for that and ping dok_o? better if you have a smaller reproducer16:27
hellsworthi'm working on the 6.4.5 deb to hopefully fix that but also the 7.0 snap so at least we can provide 7.0 in _some_ form16:27
Laneyand if gcc-9 works that's an option imo16:27
Laneywhile 10 is worked on16:27
hellsworthcan i just do lxd init again to reconfigure?16:28
hellsworth"No manual entry for lxd"16:29
hellsworthwhy not?16:29
Laneydon't know the answer to these questions!16:33
hellsworthno problem.. still didn't hurt to ask :)16:34
hellsworthseems silly that there's no man page for lxd though16:34
Laneycan snaps have manpages?16:34
Laney(not really, https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/support-for-man-pages/2299)16:36
