dufluWe are down two people today. Still want to do the meeting later?07:12
ricotzoSoMoN, fyi https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1721326 -- seems thunderbird 78 runs fine with glibc 2.34, but firefox-esr 78 doesn't07:12
ubottuMozilla bug 1721326 in Core "Port to glibc 2.34 dynamic PTHREAD_STACK_MIN" [S4, Resolved: Fixed]07:12
jpnurmihi ricotz oSoMoN duflu didrocks07:14
dufluI guess we have other teams attending usually so should stick with it07:15
oSoMoNricotz, the bug only affects impish and is fixed in 91.1 ESR, so it looks like we're covered?07:18
GunnarHjduflu: I tried the no-overview@fthx extension yesterday, but couldn't make it work (at least not with the default Ubuntu extensions in place).07:18
dufluGunnarHj, luckily it's not important. It looks similar to what I did but in a more hacky/racy way07:21
dufluIf more people raise the issue in future (when they're using GNOME 40/41) then we can revisit07:22
ricotzoSoMoN, it affects firefox-esr 78 which ftbfs and has runtime issues, I don't see those runtime problems with thunderbird 78 though, but probably it is affected too07:23
GunnarHjduflu: I think it would be good if you could fix it somehow. It makes little sense to start in the overview at login.07:23
ricotzoSoMoN, e.g. tor-browser (based on 78) is not usable with glibc 2.34 either07:24
dufluGunnarHj, that extension is doing the wrong thing really because gnome-shell forces it to. That's why I proposed fixing gnome-shell. We could patch something like my fix into gnome-shell for Ubuntu but I wasn't going to consider that yet07:25
GunnarHjduflu: +1 for patching :)07:26
dufluParticularly because doing that would create the problem Florian was concerned about -- a new interface that might go away, or worse only exists in Ubuntu07:26
dufluAlthough we could patch it without the public interface. Just always off07:26
dufluThe problem is that's backwards and would be true for people (like me) who disable ubuntu-dock07:27
GunnarHjduflu: Would it be possible with a patch which enables it only when ubuntu-dock is active?07:28
dufluGunnarHj, I was thinking that. But instead of naming the extension, detect any extension like it07:31
dufluMaybe later. Too contentious for a Friday afternoon as I want to approach de-stressing07:31
GunnarHj:)07:32
callmepkgood afternoon07:32
dufluHi callk07:33
dufluHi callmepk 07:33
callmepkhi duflu 07:33
oSoMoNricotz, regarding thunderbird, I'm in the process of packaging 91.0 for impish, I'll test against glibc in impish-proposed07:37
jpnurmihey callmepk07:37
oSoMoNI suppose tor-browser will rebase on firefox 91 at some point in the near future07:38
oSoMoNhey callmepk 07:38
ricotzoSoMoN, ok, I expect upstream to handle this for 78 too though while there are two 78 point releases left, still I wanted you to be aware07:42
oSoMoNricotz, thanks for the heads up!07:42
ricotzoSoMoN, I am patching and rebuilding firefox-esr 78 which hopefully fixes the problems I am seeing07:44
callmepkhi jpnurmi oSoMoN and also ricotz 07:55
shailangsadoes anybody know of a good desktop environment closes to windows, GNOME seems off?21:47
guivercis 5GB the current minimum disk space required for Ubuntu Desktop installs?  it seems too small?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements23:23
