guiverckc2bez[m], reminder it's artwork contest end-day (my local time)..    still some time left for hawaii or wherever last is.. but down to hours01:02
guiverci've got a minimal.install tab open on my browser, last stand up I think I was requested to do testing there.. I saw @Leokolb & kgiii complete some, is testing still needed of me?  ( kc2bez[m] I think)01:05
kc2bezToday is still the 24th for me. I have 4 more hours of it here in the eastern US. 01:05
guivercyeah I know... was primarily a reminder that end-contest is getting real close..01:05
* guiverc is mostly scared I'll forget... transferrence??01:05
kc2bezI planned to get it closed sometime tomorrow or early the next morning. 01:06
guiverc:)01:06
kc2bezI think we are ok on the minimal testing. I need to look at how to make the choice a little more obvious. Feel free to give it a go and see what you think though. 01:08
kc2bezA larger sample size won't hurt. 01:08
guiverc:) will do (feel free..) I'm behind on the testing I've planned... (hope 0.16 will clean up some old impossible-to-read-bugs of mine etc)01:10

kc2bez[m]<wxl "oh btw #lxqt:matrix.org"> I saw that and joined.16:06
wxlhuh i didn't know ubuntu dailies has proposed enabled. in any case, point release process is changing. tl;dr no more rushed last minute changes. if there's one to be fixed, the release will be delayed to accomodate the fix appropriately with the same degree of testing and aging as normal https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2021-February/041400.html16:16
kc2bez[m]I was actually excited to read that. It got a little crazy on the last one and resulted in a respin after. I think this is a better approach.16:18

lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> @kc2bez @wxl23 Did we not get fix for bug 1916356 into todays build?just tested and got the same fail as in the bug17:11
kc2bez[m]No, nothing changed there yet @Leokolb17:13
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> thats what I thought - (calming down)17:14
wxlwe're getting our packageset updated so we have upload access to kpmcore and then we'll get it in17:20
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> Fine.. (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <wxl> we're getting our packageset updated so we have upload access to kpmcore and then we'll get it in)17:22
kgiiiI've just noticed a changed behavior and it may be a bug. Start picom, open the default terminal, set it to 50% transparency, and the whole application turns transparent - as opposed to just the text area. See: http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1614278716.png18:26
wxlso let's review18:30
wxl 1. you deleted compton.conf or revised it so picom would work18:30
kgiiiNo, I just started it from the menu in the live test.18:31
wxluhhhh18:31
wxli don't get how that even works at all18:31
kgiiiMe either.18:31
wxlthat's been on my TODO list for a while18:31
kgiiiIt does NOT behave that way in 20.04 - I double checked.18:31
kgiiiIt did NOT behave that way before. Today was the first time I noticed this.18:31
wxlwell picom shouldbn't be in 20.0418:32
wxllet me dig into this a bit18:32
kgiiiI did notice that compton.conf changed recently in the diff.18:32
wxloh?18:33
kgiiiI don't keep the old manifests, but it was within the past week.18:34
wxloh you mean compton-conf. i mean compton.conf. might be the same thing18:34
wxlzsyncing18:34
kgiiiIt was one of those. I only look through them, I don't memorize 'em. It was a compton something configuration.18:34
wxlwhat i mean is the compton-conf package may contain a compton.conf file but even if it does, the package could change versions without any change to the file18:35
kc2bez[m]compton-conf is the GUI application that manipulates the configuration file.18:37
kgiiiAh, well, I've played with nothing - just opened picom and here we are. 18:37
kgiiiLet me reboot the live image and see if I can replicate it. Who knows.18:38
kc2bez[m]Picom is new this cycle so it is on the (short?) list of things to work on.18:39
kgiiiYup. It's repeatable. I can replicate it.18:42
kgiiiI am 100% certain that it hasn't always been this way. There's a chance that I've not noticed it for a day or two - but I do this exact same test every day - though I normally just concentrate on the text area.18:43
kc2bez[m]If you could post your findings on this task https://phab.lubuntu.me/T96 that would be great.18:44
-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [Medium, Open] migrate from compton to picom: https://phab.lubuntu.me/T9618:44
kgiiiTo be clear, post my findings there and do not, at this time, file an official bug?18:44
wxlok interesting18:45
wxlsomething about picom has changed18:45
wxlit's not loading compton.comf, or at least i don't think it is18:45
wxl`picom --config $HOME/.config/compton.conf` fails18:46
wxlso that's good18:46
wxlwhat's interesting is it's not installing a config file18:47
kc2bez[m]<kgiii "To be clear, post my findings th"> wxl can override me but I think just on the task is fine for now. We are still in development.18:47
wxlyeah i agree. 18:48
kgiiiConsider it done. 18:48

* kgiii finishes up testing.18:51
-lugito:#lubuntu-devel- [T96: migrate from compton to picom] wxl (Walter Lapchynski) commented on the task: https://phab.lubuntu.me/T96#435619:00
kgiiiWeirdly, that is the same one I change every time. That resolves it, however. I always change the top one. That's good though. 19:03
kgiiiAt least I'm pretty sure I do. 19:04
kgiiiI assume the LibreOffice bug (where it crashes without any real info) is upstream. Do they offer a timeline for a fix? Are they even aware of it?19:10
wxli don't know!19:10
wxlyou could !upkg libreoffice in ddg, then click on bugs and search around19:11
kgiiiWill do.19:14

theloudspeaker_splitter width21:10
theloudspeaker_rm user bug21:10
theloudspeaker_^ these need a separate task. Will create one soon. If no one else gets to these before21:11
kc2bezYou should make some tasks for further investigation if nothing else.21:11
kc2bezThanks for all of that, it is pretty huge.21:12
theloudspeaker_Yes will do. Thanks!21:12
* theloudspeaker_ is done.21:12
kc2bezThanks.21:12
* theloudspeaker_ goes back to hammering his Raspberry Pi21:13
kc2bezAlso, ack kgiii @Leokolb guiverc @N0um3n021:13
kgiiiSame thing as always, though a bit more support than normal. I'm still doing daily testing and will be able to do so for the foreseeable future, with the exception of a few days next month. Other than that, all is good. I'll preemptively say thanks to everyone for their contributions and say you're welcome for mine.21:13
=== theloudspeaker_ is now known as The_LoudSpeaker
kc2bezThanks kgiii !21:13
kc2bezKeep pointing out the little things21:14
kc2bezguiverc: what is new?21:14
guiverc- good amount of testing (LXQt 0.16 & comments on bug reports), plus usual support 21:14
guiverc- some t180 (wiki cleanup); contributors page added (https://phab.lubuntu.me/w/contributors/)21:14
* guiverc end21:15
kc2bezI saw that ^ it looks nice, thank you!21:15
guivercfeel free to edit, or comment on contribs, esp. those longer in the project who recognize folks (Walter etc)21:15
guivercit's mostly just copy/paste; my edits 'justified' in t18021:15
kc2bezIt looked good. I might copy pasta the developers in another section even though we overlap, I think it would be good to have.21:16
guivercI concur kc2bez  (didn't think of devs)21:17
kc2bezThanks for all that guiverc !21:17
kc2bez@N0um3n0 How are you?21:18
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> goood!!21:18
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> for my part, support in telegram and discourse. as always.21:18
lubot[telegram] <N0um3n0> nothing more :P21:19
kc2bezI see you all over! It is great to watch.21:19
kc2bezThank you!21:19
wxlfinally here; phone21:19
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> i am here as well21:19
kc2bezSorry Leo, I skipped you, go ahead.21:20
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> Tested Hirsute dailies - mostly installs but a few live sessions as well - retests of T58 minimal install + tested proposed fix for bug 1916356 (EFI install failure)21:20
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> done21:20
kc2bezThanks for testing that. Hope to get the fix for that in soon.21:20
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> tks21:21
kc2bezwxl: do you want to go now or after me?21:21
wxli can go21:21
kc2bezok, sounds good21:21
wxlhere's my paste https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RYGvj2Xz8V/21:21
wxlhopefully i'll get picom fixed shortly21:22
wxland with those packageset changes we should have access to upload kpmcore to fix our efi issues21:22
kc2bezYou can cross off merges ^21:22
wxlthat openbox bug is annoying (can't center windows)21:23
wxloh right thanks21:23
wxlBIG THANKS TO @The_LoudSpeaker @RikMills @teward001 @kc2bez for help on merges!!!!!!!!21:23
The_LoudSpeakerwhat's lubumom.sh ?21:24
wxlmy little check mom script21:24
wxli swear this whole cycle has been a case of me spinning my wheels21:24
wxli start working on something and then something else comes in that ends up being a rabbit hole21:24
RikMillsplease don't uplod kpmcore without checking with me 1st21:25
wxltoday was that aforementioned openbox bug21:25
RikMills*upload21:25
kc2bezOk21:25
kc2bezI will check with you RikMills21:25
wxlany particular reason why rik? did you see kc2bez's fix?21:25
RikMillskool21:25
wxlit's critical for us21:25
RikMills(a) it is a kde package, (b) it is polite as it is maintained in kubuntu git, (c) at this stage if adding a feature it may need approval21:27
wxlin that case i'm going to turn it over to kc2bez and let him explain further21:28
The_LoudSpeakeralso, globalkeys is being a pain again?21:28
The_LoudSpeakerwxl: 21:28
wxli'm sure you can imagine that's not very descriptive21:29
kc2bezHappy to work however you want RikMills. Upstream has a patch that fixes bug 191635621:29
ubot93Bug 1916356 in kpmcore (Ubuntu) "The installer failed to create partition on disk with EFI (not BIOS)" [Critical, Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/191635621:29
The_LoudSpeakerread your paste. it has somethign about lxqt-globalkeys.21:29
RikMillspain in the neck? pain in the ass?21:29
kc2bezLike wxl said it causes EFI installs to fail.21:29
wxlthat's old21:29
The_LoudSpeakerRikMills: pain to the mind. MIGRAINE!21:29
The_LoudSpeakerwxl: ack.21:30
wxlstill true, but old. 21:30
wxli did note that on the original patch or the bug about it that there's no plan to release kpmcore until the next kde release which i believe is march21:31
kc2bezRikMills: I patched kpmcore with that commit and put it in a ppa with new calamares and it did resolve our issue but I understand your concern.21:31
RikMillskc2bez: right. that is the one I thought it was21:31
wxlthe patch could easily be dropped once the new release comes out21:31
RikMillswxl: the next KDE apps release is 22nd April21:32
RikMills1 day before hirsute!21:32
wxli'm only repeating what i thought i read21:33
wxlstill, 21.1021:33
RikMillsyep, it is fine21:33
RikMillstsimonq2: will you ack that as a FFe?21:33
RikMillsunless I get that pacth wring, and it is not a new feature?21:34
RikMills*patch21:34
wxlit is NOT a new feature21:34
wxlit's a workaround for something that dosfstools broke21:34
wxlnull labels are no longer valid in dosfstools, so the change in kpmcore sets "NO_LABEL"21:35
kc2bezExactly ^21:36
RikMillsunfortunate wording in the KDE commit then21:36
wxli don't know it seems correct21:37
wxlAdd initial support for dosfstools 4.2.21:37
wxlEmpty labels are not allowed anymore.21:37
wxlOne can reset them with -r flag but that is not supported in older21:37
wxldosfstools. So for now we just manually set label to NO_LABEL.21:37
kc2bezI think I understand. It is the "Add initial support for dosfstools 4.2" part.21:38
wxloh right because that's the short commit message. yep.21:39
RikMillsok. I am fine with that then21:39
RikMillsrelease team will not be spot checking all uploads yet until beta, but I want to know the score if they do query ;)21:41
kc2bezOk, thanks RikMills what do you need from me?21:41
wxli mean rik if you want to upload it yourself, feel free21:41
kc2bezI am totally fine with that.21:42
RikMillskc2bez: I am fine for you to. I will just sync the archive upload to my git after. we have scipts to do that21:42
kc2bezOk, it isn't in our packageset yet but we are working on that.21:43
RikMillsI assume there is no super urgency, so yeah. do it when you have21:44
wxlwell it is a critical bug but not THAT critical given that we're still in development of this release :)21:44
RikMillsindeed (insert Teal'c gif)21:45
kc2bezRight, if we get too far along we may reach back out to you.21:45
kc2bezThanks Rik!21:46
