seb128goood morning IRC08:52
lissyxseb128, i'll test locally and then send a PR to a patch to stable for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185417909:29
-ubottu:#ubuntu-desktop- Mozilla bug 1854179 in Toolkit "Crash in OOM | large | thin_vec::header_with_capacity" [--, Resolved: Fixed]09:29
seb128lissyx, great, I don't understand Gabriele's comment there09:36
seb128is he saying that upstream isn't going to fix the issue and than we should distro patch somehow?09:36
lissyxseb128, no, it's more that we dont know when a new 118 might come out, and it's serious enough but only for ubuntu that you might want to pick the patch and do a new build for stable channel09:37
seb128ah, ok09:38
seb128bandali, ^09:38
GunnarHjI would like to talk with someone about a possible preparation in mantic for 23.10->24.04 distupgrades.10:43
GunnarHjhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-release-upgrader/+bug/2034986/comments/1810:43
GunnarHjDoes my reasoning make sense? seb128? jbicha? Somebody else?10:43
-ubottu:#ubuntu-desktop- Launchpad bug 2034986 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu Mantic) "some text became unreadable during a distribution upgrade" [Critical, In Progress]10:43
seb128GunnarHj, I'm not a font expert but I do wonder if somehow the release upgrader should include a ttf in a private path and use that instead of relying on system fonts?10:50
GunnarHjseb128: I can't tell if that would be possible. But even if it is, other programs like the desktop itself and possible other open applications are affected. So personally I see the workaround in the making as a decent permanent solution. With reservation, then, for what I wrote in that bug comment.10:53
seb128the real fix is to stop applying updates in session...10:53
seb128GunnarHj, but I agree with what you wrote, unsure which font would be right to depends on though10:54
GunnarHjseb128: DejaVu Sans is on my mind, which is a bit sad because I made some effort to *avoid* fonts-dejavu-core among the default fonts...10:56
GunnarHjseb128: It's basically unmaintained which in this context is good. :/10:57

bandaligood morning12:52
bandalithanks lissyx will look into those12:53
seb128ricotz, hey, as a FYI I finally managed to push your thunderbird 115 updates to the security ppa, sorry for the delay!13:19
seb128ricotz, but I see now that we will need a nodejs update for 22.04. It got updated in 20.04 by Olivier a while ago but I guess he didn't need it in 22.04 because firefox as a snap there13:25
seb128well that was nodejs-mozilla in focal13:26
lissyxoh nodejs13:26
lissyxgood luck.13:26
seb128shrug13:26
seb128I expect that might not be as easy :/13:26
lissyxso many horrors story to share about that13:26
seb128:-(13:27
seb128I wonder if thunderbird 115 could easily be makde to build with 12.22.9 instead of 12.22.1213:28
lissyxyou should ask the #thunderbird-dev channel on matrix13:29
lissyxfolks are responsive13:29
seb128ack, thanks for the hint13:30
ricotzseb128, ah sorry, I am implicitly using a nodejs backport from kinetic to jammy for the ppa builds :(13:34
seb128ricotz, did you try to build with the jammy version of nodejs? do you know why .12 is required?13:37
seb128https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nodejs/node/main/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V12.md13:38
GunnarHjseb128: Back to the pre lunch topic: Does it make sense to you to add fonts-dejavu-core as a Depend in desktop-common to prepare for the 23.10->24.04 upgrades?13:43
ricotzseb128, the requirement is explicit and would need to be patched, I assume the bump was made by choice for security reasons13:43
seb128GunnarHj, I don't understand fonts enough to have an opinion on whether that's enough13:43
ricotzseb128, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178252313:44
-ubottu:#ubuntu-desktop- Mozilla bug 1782523 in Firefox Build System "We install node version v16.0.0 which is 1.5y old and has several security updates" [--, Resolved: Fixed]13:44
ricotzhttps://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr115/rev/839f7f52434489ff18172cbc8232731fe54f0ecc13:44
ricotzseb128, I am currently busy, sorry13:46
seb128ricotz, there isn't much difference between .9 and .12 it seems, it feels like we could try to build it with .9 and see how it goes13:47
GunnarHjseb128: It's enough under the assumption that DejaVu Sans does not undergo changes. The upstream repo was last updated 6 years ago.13:47
seb128ricotz, no worry13:47
seb128GunnarHj, the proposal would work for me at least13:47
GunnarHjseb128: Then I'll do it. Thanks!13:48
seb128np!13:51
GunnarHjseb128: Is App Center itself translatable?14:09
seb128GunnarHj, the string or the application?14:18
GunnarHjseb128: Actually I think about both the string "App Center" and the whole application.14:22
GunnarHjseb128: I just noticed that you had made Swedish translations for gnome-initial-setup which i just changed. :/14:23
bandalilissyx, hey did you get a chance to check https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1854179 locally? wondering if i should tackle it or if you may already be working on it14:25
seb128GunnarHj, sorry, I just made the string replace thing Steve asked for14:25
lissyxbandali, multiple times on nightly yes14:25
lissyxbandali, sorry, I am about to go out, school time and I wont be able to come back14:25
bandalilissyx, excellent, thanks. would you like to do a PR for it or okay if i do?14:25
lissyxI wont have time for a PR before tomorrow14:26
bandaliah okay np, many thanks anyway, i'll just do a PR and tag you and seb as reviewers14:26
lissyxand you probably want to ship it to beta and stable as well14:26
bandalilissyx, right. afaik it's already in the next beta tho yeah? so i'd only need a PR for stable?14:26
lissyxbandali, you can ask help from gabriele on matrix, I pinged both14:26
lissyxbut I really really have to go14:27
bandalithank you thank you. okay see ya later o/14:27
GunnarHjseb128: The most urgent thing, I suppose, is the label of the icon in the dock, and I don't know where to translate that. Think it would be appropriate to provide a pointer to the translators.14:27
