tjaaltonduflu: hi, xwayland is already packaged and available in ppa:canonical-x/x-staging05:23
tjaaltonre: your trello card05:23
duflutjaalton, great!05:23
duflutjaalton, different versioning. Is that to ensure it overrides the old ones?05:25
tjaaltonthat's just upstream05:26
tjaaltonbut yes, it also replaces the old one05:26
dufluI see... https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/tree/xwayland-21.105:27
tjaaltonyep05:27
jameshthe meson.build file for that branch says 21.0.99.1 though :-)05:28
tjaaltonbecause it's not 21.1 yet05:28
jameshah. I thought duflu was querying why it wasn't 21.105:29
tjaaltonold xwayland is 1.20.905:29
dufluXorg is dead, long live little Xorg05:29
jameshPresumably the new one is named for 2021?05:31
tjaaltonyes05:32
dufluSeems to also assume Xorg projects will not live past the year 210005:33
tjaaltonsame for mesa ;)05:34
dufluUbuntu too 05:34
tjaaltonhehe05:34
jameshthere's no reason why you can't have version numbers higher than 99 though05:35
dufluTrue05:35
oSoMoNgood morning desktoppers06:57

oSoMoNsalut didrocks 07:28
didrockssalut oSoMoN 07:33
didrocksand this is a Wednesday system-only revert to get back to a working machine after locking myself out \o/ :)07:50
jibelGood morning07:56
didrockssalut jibel 07:56
jibelsalut didrocks 07:56
dufluMorning oSoMoN, didrocks, jibel 08:34
didrockshey duflu 08:35
oSoMoNsalut jibel, hey duflu 08:48
oSoMoNricotz, I have an update to unity-menubar.patch for ff 86, let me know when it's safe to push it to the beta branches08:53
ricotzoSoMoN, hi, the running beta 8 builds contain an updated unity patch08:54
jibelSalut oSoMoN duflu 08:55
oSoMoNricotz, ack08:55
ricotzoSoMoN, I want to wait a few hours to see how the armhf builds go before I push the packaging08:56
oSoMoNricotz, that makes sense, hopefully your patch does the trick08:56
ricotzoSoMoN, regarding unity, I only fixed some fuzz in the patch to make it apply again08:57
oSoMoNricotz, yeah, I had done the same on my end, and I did a local xenial build and verified that the menus work as expected08:58
seb128goood morning desktopers08:58
oSoMoNsalut seb128 08:58
didrockssalut seb128 08:59
didrocksseb128: can you subscribe dektop-packages to pipewire? Laney promoted it yesterday but I think he isn’t aware about our subscription incoming process/arrangement (and I think the description is not read often before promotion)09:00
didrocksquite a bad timing when we want to argue with the MIR team about a new workflow :p09:01
seb128didrocks, subscribed09:02
didrocksthx! :)09:02
didrockslet’s see how the vote casts…09:02
seb128np!09:02
seb128oh, and salut didrocks, oSoMoN, ricotz 09:03
Laneydidrocks: indeed, sorry I thought the subscription had to be done before approval09:03
Laneymoin09:03
didrocksLaney: hey! np, we are testing a new (optinal) workflow which is under vote right now09:04
Laneyah09:04
Laneymaybe a quick message to ubuntu-archive?09:04
didrocksbut I guess that testifies that patching c-m for checking this will be needed09:04
Laneyor that yeah09:04
LaneyI heard ubuntu-archive has a new admin these days ;-)09:05
didrocksLaney: well, its’ only desktop right now, which in general seb and I are doing, this is why we are waiting for the vote results to broadcast it09:05
seb128hey Laney 09:05
didrocks(still unsure this will get acked)09:05
seb128Laney, seems so indeed!09:05
didrockssooooo, I heard any new admin should patch some AA tool to be effective :p09:06
didrocksif only we would soon have something to patch… lalala09:06
seb128and on the SRU workflow, I'm trying to make a case for them to change to subscribe at the end and not the beginning since otherwise team are assigned things that are still in universe and might not even get accepted09:06
seb128lol09:06
didrocks(yeah meant MIR)09:06
didrocksyou*09:06
dufluHi seb128 and Laney 09:07
oSoMoNmorning Laney 09:07
seb128hey duflu 09:07
seb128yes MIR sorry!09:07
didrocksc-m already has a def get_teams(options, source): btw09:08
didrocksso patching should be really easy09:08
Laneyseb128: It makes me think that the AA might get to the bug and then have to bounce it off again if the team is not subscribed09:09
Laneydoes your proposal help with that?09:09
Laneycongrats on the promotion btw :p09:10
Laneyhope it comes with a nice salary increase09:10
didrocksI’m sure it’s the same amazing raise % than the one we got when entering AA :p09:11
* Laney buys everyone... 0 beers!09:18
* duflu points out AA probably doesn't mean Alcoholics Anonymous09:19
seb128hahaha :-)09:22
seb128hey andyrock! how are you?09:22
seb128Laney, I don't really have a solution for the 'AA might bounce off again" out of the fact that often the AA who promotes has an easy direct access to people who can also do the subscription09:24
Laneyalright09:33

KGB-0gnome-control-center ubuntu/master Sebastien Bacher * [approved] merge request !20: display: Better KMS backend fractional scaling handling * https://deb.li/iQnlE10:52
seb128Laney, Trevinho, duflu, do you have an opinion on giving the desktop-icon-ng a try to replace the current extension? also I'm a bit lazy and pondering just replacing one variant by the other in the current source, anyone has an objection to that?11:07
KGB-0gnome-control-center Marco Trevisan 227187 * commented merge request !20 * https://deb.li/iOYZ111:07
dufluseb128, I actually have no experience with it11:07
dufluAlso need to switch to dinner mode11:08
seb128duflu, enjoy!11:08
KGB-0gnome-control-center Sebastien Bacher 227188 * commented merge request !20 * https://deb.li/Uiee11:09
dufluIt looks more active, at least: https://gitlab.com/rastersoft/desktop-icons-ng/-/commits/master/11:09
dufluSeems none of my fixes are in there but maybe they're not needed if the code is completely different11:10
seb128I emailed Sergio (upstream) who said he considered it stable now, he just mentioned that ideally he would like to fix the icons going under the dock but he's busy and has been failing to find the time for it11:10
seb128right11:10
dufluo/11:10
LaneyNo idea really, need to check the stuff we had to fix before like being able to launch programs from the desktop11:11
Laneyand theme integration iirc11:13
seb128right11:13
Laneybut seems ok, less sure about just replacing the old package but if you want to deal with any fallout of that then fine11:13
seb128I will probably do that update in a ppa so if other want to test11:13
seb128I'm not keen to have to maintain 2 packages of the same thing with different set of issues and lazy to go through NEW to rename it11:14
seb128which is why I was checking if anyone would veto the lazy way :-)11:14
seb128let's start with a ppa and try to verify how they compare11:14
Trevinhoseb128: yeah, I think it's good to give it a try12:25
Trevinhogiven that its maintainer is happy to keep it in shape more than the other12:25
Trevinhowe've to see how that will work with 40 though12:26
Trevinhoof future 40 reiterations (with no desktop maybe?)12:26
KGB-1gnome-control-center Marco Trevisan 227191 * commented merge request !20 * https://deb.li/3kA412:27
seb128Trevinho, I don't see a reason why the new design would make the desktop less desirable, but we can discuss that next cycle12:36
Trevinhoseb128: well, if it goes towards having the desktop always hidden and show the activities by default instead... but that wasn't decided yet AFAIK12:36
seb128Trevinho, btw feel free to merge the g-c-c change, bonus point if you include the bug reference in the commit or changelog :-)12:36
Trevinhoooook12:37
Trevinhoseb128: no release though, right?12:37
seb128Trevinho, ah ok, I though they were talking about displaying the activity on start only, let's see12:37
seb128Trevinho, if you want to release/upload I'm fine with it12:37
Trevinhoack, will do... it takes almost the same :D12:38
LaneyTrevinho: is fractional still considered experimental or can upstream get the switch now (or do they have another design)?12:46
TrevinhoLaney: I think it's still experimental, but I can dig jonas about12:47
Laney:>12:51

Trevinhoseb128: what component is Recommending gnome-remote-desktop now?18:00
TrevinhoI was assuming g-s-d/g-c-c should do it, no?18:00
=== ijohnson is now known as ijohnson|lunch
seb128Trevinho, nothing yet I think, shouldn't gnome-shell recommends it since that's the shell exporting the display?18:41
Trevinhoseb128: I was thinking about it but I wasn't quite sure... in debian I don't think anything does it18:42
seb128seems like worth asking on #debian-gnome18:43
Trevinhoper se the shell has no reference on it...18:43
Trevinhonot sure if g-s-d has instead18:43
Trevinholike using its api or smth?18:43
Trevinhoas the shell just exposes the remote desktop API that other component exposes18:44
Trevinhovia the remote desktop tool18:44
Trevinhosooo... I think it's more for g-s-d, as that will trigger g-c-c sharing option no?18:46

enychrrm firefox 85.0.2 apparently come out upstream =)20:04
enycoSoMoN: curious now, is firefox inherently easier to build for older releases (compared to thunberbird), -or- if thunderbird difficulty is more todo with the extra/related packages, jsunit and so on ....  making it not so simple?20:05
oSoMoNenyc, the latter, essentially. The 68 -> 78 upgrade brings in many changes and deprecations that make it a complex transition20:10
enycoSoMoN: that figures... but not the case with firefox aiui or so?20:14
enycugh tired soryr if asking somtehing silly20:19
enycoSoMoN: firefox major upgrades don't end up with so amny dperecation problems20:20
=== ijohnson|lunch is now known as ijohnson
oSoMoNenyc, this is different, thunderbird follows the firefox ESR release cycle, meaning that new major versions come out less often, but are potentially more disrupting20:45
oSoMoNi.e. for firefox we did all 10 major versions in between 68 and 7820:46
enycoSoMoN: aaaaaaaaaaaaah whereas debian prefer firefox-esr ........ I see i see!21:51
enycthankyou21:51
