TJ_Remixhas there been some kind of glitch on Freenode? nickserv says I'm logged in as TJ- but I cannot switch nicknames back :S /nick TJ- ==> Nick/channel is temporarily unavailable13:44
lotuspsychjeTJ_Remix: going unity remix?13:44
TJ_Remix:p13:44
lotuspsychjeTJ_Remix: * TJ- has quit (*.net *.split)13:44
lotuspsychjeat 13h5613:44
TJ_Remixahhh, split in progress then13:44
ograyo13:48
lotuspsychjeogra: we did a test between focal and bionic worked like a charm13:48
ogragreat... it even works on xenial13:48
lotuspsychjeogra: those stats, you can pull command as dev, or as user too?13:48
ogra( i test on focal and xenial)13:48
ograonly as dev13:48
lotuspsychjexenial doesnt have snap by default right?13:49
ograthe snap owner gets a "metrics" page wheer you can see by OS, by channel or by version usage13:49
lotuspsychjei see13:49
lotuspsychjepretty handy13:49
ograi thinkwe added snapd to the default seed in a point release for 16.04 ...13:49
lotuspsychjeoh i wasnt aware of that13:50
ograit didnt have it at release day though13:50
lotuspsychjezoom client feels really lightweight too13:50
ograthe recent snap grew by about 100MB ... seems they added some more dependencies13:51
ograoh, heh, no that was actually me switching to lzt compression13:51
ogra*lz13:51
lotuspsychjeheh13:51
* ogra had totally forgotten about that13:52
ograthat shoves off 10sec from startup time13:52
ogra(or 8 or so ... i didnt do exact measurements, but it was very noticeable)13:52
lotuspsychjeogra: started pretty quick on this side13:54
lotuspsychjeon ssd13:55
ograyeah, i made that change a while ago (early december or so)13:55
ograi tend to keep the beta/candidate channels on the last version before i do an actual packaging change and only saw the size difference ...13:56
ograchannels:13:56
ogra  latest/stable:    5.4.57862.0110   2021-01-16 (12😎 245MB -13:56
ogra  latest/candidate: 5.4.53350.1027   2020-10-31 (10😎 157MB -13:56
ograheh, my emoji plugin goes mad 🙂 )13:57
lotuspsychjelol13:57
lotuspsychjeogra: so just out of curiosity, wich Os wins on your snap :p13:57
ograheh, ubuntu indeed ... let me check which version13:58
lotuspsychjethats pretty interesting those stats13:58
nbusronesince i didn't get reply at #ubuntu , May I know how to check my NIC support Gbits ? Advertised link modes: 1000baseT/Full but speed display otherwise 100Mb/s ? ethtool eth0 https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/k8wmSzDCd7/13:58
ogra20.04 - 93036 users13:59
lotuspsychjenbusrone: this is a discuss channel, please re-ask in #ubuntu after a while13:59
ogra18.04 - 4057413:59
lotuspsychjethats pretty cool ogra13:59
ograthen 20.10 and 16.04 ...13:59
ografirst non ubuntu one is manjaro with 312014:00
lotuspsychjeso we can assume manjaro has a nice community too14:00
ograzorin 2000 ... elementary 150014:00
lotuspsychjeno mint?14:00
ograyeah, and snapd by default14:00
ogramint is in the 100's14:00
ogramint 20 -> 55314:00
lotuspsychjethats weird14:00
ogramint 19 -> 48814:01
lotuspsychjesnap not default on mint perhaps?14:01
ogranah, they make a lot of anti snap propaganda and you need to jump through some hoops to get snapd working at all14:01
lotuspsychjethat makes sense then14:02
ograyeah14:02
lotuspsychjeogra: these stats, are they bound per dev app, or can you trigger general stats?14:03
ograthey are auto-generated per snap upload ...14:03
ogranothing you can trigger manually14:03
lotuspsychjei see14:04
ogra(as a normal snap dev at least)14:04
lotuspsychjeand are they used somehow for ubuntu user stats?14:04
ograthere are surely checks for "how many users have the snapd snap installed" tro get a number of total users and such14:05
lotuspsychjecool14:05
ograbut not everyone using ubuntu keeps snapd around ... so you cant really deduct an exact number of ubuntu users from it14:06
ogrametrics have always been tricky in ubuntu 🙂14:07
nbusroneogra : snap will auto updates application install , it's much easier to deduct an exact number of ubuntu users from it14:08
lotuspsychjebut can canonical trigger your stats from zoom for example?14:08
ograsure ...14:09
lotuspsychjeor limited to the dev of the snap14:09
lotuspsychjeok, thats interesting14:09
lotuspsychjebut also dangerous :p14:09
ograwell, externally it is limited to the dev ... but indeed canonical owns the database of the server and can do stats on this14:09
lotuspsychjeso that means they could see what happens on a lot of derivatives of ubuntu14:10
ogranbusrone, well, there are probably more cloud instances of ubuntu in use than i.e. desktop installs nowadays ... even if you'd take "all snapd users out there" you likely leave out a few million docker users14:11
lotuspsychjethis snap thing got really huge right14:11
ograsnapd sends a HTTP query when it tries to check for updates of installed snap (a few times a day) ... that query sends the OS name along ...14:12
ograso it isnt just ubuntu derivetives ... but essentially *all* distros14:12
ogra*derivatives14:12
lotuspsychjewow14:13
ograyeah, snaps got pretty huge and are quite a commercial success too ...14:13
ograthough less in the desktop area14:13
ograbut in IoT, embedded and cloud14:13
nbusroneogra : snap will also update their version and server base will have different version core.14:14
ograyep14:14
nbusroneogra : application store already replace all apps to snap , soon repo or ppa will left outdates application.14:16
ograwell, thats always up to the packager ...14:16
ograif a PPA maintainer doesnt keep his packages up to date, they wont upgrade14:16
ograone point is that the packaging itself is a lot easier with snaps ...14:17
=== TJ_Remix is now known as TJ-
ogra... you also do not clash with system packages14:17
nbusroneI meant for the shift from ppa to snap.Some dev prefer snap with without relying on system deb.14:18
ograi.e. the zoom snap that started this conversation ships its own copy of Qt ... it will never touch or replace the Qt on the host it is installed on14:18
ogradoing the same with a PPA is impossible14:18
ograyeah ... i personally havent touched PPAs in liek 4years or so ... all my extra stuff is snaps nowadays14:19
ograbut there are still many people prefering PPAs14:20
ogranot everyone is like me 😉14:20
ograand snaps allow you development you simply cant easily do when using debs ... i.e. this is what i'm currently working on as spare-time project: https://snapcraft.io/kodi-pi-standalone14:21
ograthats a kodi version specifically optimized for RPi hardware video decoding ... which the kodi deb in the archive does not have14:22
nbusroneoga : both have their strong point , but some point snap is slower on mechanical HD.14:23
ograthe snap allows me to simply use a different upstream tree (with all the Pi patches included) for the code easily14:23
ograyeah ... snaps are compressed squashfs files ... decompression time varies between SSD and HHDs14:24
ogra*HDDs14:24
waveformalso worth noting the compression algo changed late last year to something much faster at decompression (LZO ? I forget)14:30
ograyep, lzo14:30
ograwhich is admittedly a lot faster but also makes your snap bigger14:30
ogra(the zoom snap grew by 100MB when switching to lzo here)14:31
waveformindeed - it's a definite trade-off, though XZ's performance (at compression or decompression) is horrible :)14:31
ograi tend to use lzo for my desktop apps but keep the server ones at the old default14:31
ogradesktop snaps also need to set up a lot more environmental stuff on first start, thats another hit ...14:33
TJ-Javascript/DevOps is officially insane, and I have evidence! 17 files and 334 dependencies in the package 'oneday' just to declare the value 86400000 (the number of milliseconds in one day!)  https://github.com/bevry/oneday15:12
