Kilroyhi, so I am running ubuntu 22.04 on macbook air 2019, how do I get wifi to show up?02:18
guivercKilroy, this isn't a support room, please use #ubuntu if you want support.  02:24
Kilroyoh, I thought I was in #ubuntu-next I am so sorry, I clicked one down 02:25
Kilroy*ubuntu02:25
dufluKilroy, I'm not sure but if that Macbook Air was still using Broadcom radios like previous models then you need to either (a) choose the thirdparty software option during install; or (b) plug in a USB ethernet adaptor and install package 'bcmwl-kernel-source'03:00
Kilroyok let me try that03:03
dufluActually you can probably find the bcmwl-kernel-source .deb file on the install media03:06
KilroyI left the install media at school03:09
dufluSo long as you can copy files onto the machine it shouldn't matter. The one I'm talking about is https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb03:10
dufluStill just guessing that your laptop has Broadcom wifi03:11
Kilroyit does03:11
KilroyI got that package installed, do I need to reboot?03:11
dufluMaybe?03:11
dufluI would not imagine so. Perhaps you have a different bug03:11
Kilroygoing to reboot any way03:13
Kilroyduflu nope still can't find wifi03:18
dufluKilroy, next step then is to get an ethernet adaptor and log a bug by running 'ubuntu-bug linux'03:18
KilroyI will do that tommarow at school03:20

seb129hey duflu , how are you?07:02
=== seb129 is now known as seb128
didrockshey seb128 07:04
seb128oSoMoN, jamesh, Trevinho, hey. So about https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/issues/769 , do you think we can distro patch the suggested change for now? we need to improve the firefox snap situation07:05
ubottuIssue 769 in flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal "parse_app_info_from_snap() sets the app id to 'snap.$AppName', but gnome-shell's access dialog compares it to $DesktopFile" [Open]07:05
seb128didrocks, salut!07:05
seb128en forme ?07:05
dufluseb128, not bad, you?07:06
didrocksça va :)07:06
seb128duflu, I'm alright thanks :)07:09
oSoMoNsalut seb128 ! I submitted that change as a PR (https://github.com/jhenstridge/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1), waiting for james_h to comment on it07:38
ubottuPull 1 in jhenstridge/xdg-desktop-portal "webextensions: pass a valid desktop ID to the access dialog" [Open]07:38
seb128oSoMoN, salut! merci! ca va sinon?07:39
oSoMoNbien, et toi?07:39
seb128don't try to not highlight jamesh, we need him to get things moving :)07:39
seb128ça va!07:39
oSoMoNheh :) I thought it wasn't really necessary to highlight jamesh, given that you highlighted jamesh a few lines earlier, but fair enough, let's highlight jamesh.07:43
jameshseb128, oSoMoN: my one concern with the package ID vs desktop ID thing is that now the native messaging portal will be invoking the UI service differently to every other portal07:45
jameshi.e. I think the fix is probably the right choice, but should probably be done everywhere else too.07:47
oSoMoNright07:47
seb128could one of you add a card in the backlog about that?07:48
seb128we need to resolve the firefox issue now but we should still deal with the other things later07:49
jameshI've pulled your change into my PR, so I think it is in a state where it could be used as a distro patch.07:49
seb128jamesh, hey, thanks for the reply :) another question, we are getting a few reports than firefox and other snaps can't save files to mounted drivers and shared, do you know if that's a known issue?07:50
jameshseb128: the document portal shouldn't be proxying access to /mnt or /media for snaps that have removable-media plugged.07:52
seb128the journal shows  Failed to register sftp://USERNAME@IP/PATH/webpage.html: Failed to open sftp://USERNAME@IP/PATH/webpage.html07:52
seb128from xdg-desktop-portal07:52
seb128jamesh, sorry, I'm trying with a ssh mount07:53
seb128so that's probably a different case from the media mounted in /mnt 07:54
jameshah. gvfs access is not currently supported by snaps, and I don't think it even works via document portal07:54
jamesh(although it would probably be possible to chain document portal to gvfs-fused)07:54
jameshremovable-media does currently block running executables under /mnt and /media, but that shouldn't be a problem for Firefox (it has affected some people trying Steam though)07:55
seb128jamesh, could you perhaps add a comment to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1971168 about the gvfs access?07:56
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1971168 in firefox (Ubuntu) "[snap] Files on local network shares are not opened / written" [Undecided, Confirmed]07:56
seb128I know gvfs in snaps is not easy but I though the portal as part of the user session could handle those07:57
seb128also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1971475 states that saving to /media works but not /mnt07:58
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1971475 in firefox (Ubuntu) "Ubuntu 22.04 snap firefox doesn't save downloads to /mnt subfolders" [Undecided, Incomplete]07:58
seb128brb, need to change location and drop from IRC but I will read the backlog from irclog if you reply :)08:00
jameshseb128: right. gvfs mounts can be accessed as regular files under the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs FUSE mount. That's primarily for the benefit of legacy apps, but could also be used by xdg-document-portal.08:01
jameshi.e. sftp://... => $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gvfs/... => $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/doc/...08:02
seb128k, and back online!08:11
oSoMoNjamesh, seb128 : https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/705#issuecomment-1123392120 is the last remaining blocker from my perspective09:00
ubottuPull 705 in flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal "webextensions: add a portal for managing WebExtensions native messaging servers" [Open]09:00
seb128oSoMoN, thanks09:46
madhensHello! Best place to ask about an accessibility tool (Speakup) not compiled into our kernel?10:56
TrevinhooSoMoN: looks like seb went out, but I'm fine to distro-patch that... I think it's fine also for upstream, but not sure who can review it with write access.11:45
jbichagood morning12:08
oSoMoNgood morning jbicha 12:14
oSoMoNTrevinho, by distro-patch, you mean doing the same package ID / desktop ID substitution for all portals, right?12:14
oSoMoN(for the webextensions portal I already cherry-picked the corresponding patch update: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdg-desktop-portal/1.14.3-0ubuntu3 , and I'll SRU it once it migrates)12:15
ogramadhens, try #ubuntu-kernel ... 12:18
madhensThanks!12:46
xclaesse[m]Hi, devhelp does not show any pages in jammy, probably a webkit issue. Is there a know workaround?17:58
jbichaxclaesse[m]: do you have the problem with any other webkit apps?18:05
xclaesse[m]evolution got fixed a few weeks ago18:05
jbichayou're using amd64, right?18:06
xclaesse[m]yes18:06
jbichaI had a bug earlier, still not fixed but I haven't looked into it more, see LP: #1942951 for a workaround18:07
xclaesse[m]There are at least 2 bug reports (first is mine) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devhelp/+bug/1969273 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devhelp/+bug/197020018:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1942951 in webkit2gtk (Ubuntu) "devhelp doesn't display any help pages" [Low, Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/194295118:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1969273 in devhelp (Ubuntu) "Doc pages are not displayed" [Undecided, Confirmed]18:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1970200 in devhelp (Ubuntu) "devhelp showing just a white blank page" [Undecided, Incomplete]18:07
xclaesse[m]jbicha: oh nice, the workaround from seb128 worked18:09
xclaesse[m]thanks!18:09
jbichaplease mark your bug a duplicate of that bug then18:09
jbichaxclaesse[m]: if you want, you could try to figure out what exact line items break devhelp18:11
jbichaupstream wasn't able to work on the bug because there wasn't a reproducible test case18:12
xclaesse[m]jbicha: last comment on the debian bug says "It turns out, this bug is already fixed. In WebKitGTK 2.34.1, to be precise."18:14
xclaesse[m]but seems we have 2.36 on jammy... maybe a patch to backport, dunno18:15
jbichayeah, I don't think it's fixed either18:15
xclaesse[m]maybe in 2.36.118:20
jbichaI don't think so :) I think jammy will be getting 2.36.2 next week18:25
xclaesse[m]Seems glib doc is broken: Error opening file /usr/share/gtk-doc/html/glib/api-index-2-72.html: No such file or directory18:40
xclaesse[m]all "index of new symbols" pages in glib are missing18:40
jbichaxclaesse[m]: I see the broken glib doc pages on Arch Linux too. Do you want to report that bug to GNOME?20:00
xclaesse[m]jbicha: oh that's an upstream issue indeed, I can reproduce when building glib myself20:10
xclaesse[m]looks like a gtkdoc issue tbh. the xml files are generated but not included into the html20:11
jbichagtkdoc is probably undermaintained. gi-docgen is recommended for most things now20:11
xclaesse[m]dunno what's the status of gi-docgen, last time I heard about it, ebassi was saying it targets gtk only20:17
xclaesse[m]which makes it pretty much useless20:17
xclaesse[m]maybe he changed his mind20:17
xclaesse[m]but I agree we need to drop gtkdoc, it has been a pain for decades20:17
jbicha$ reverse-depends -b gi-docgen20:33
jbichatracker has more complex needs so they ended up using hotdoc instead20:34
