[02:30] <Zunino> I've noticed that when the system is suspended and then resumed, screen tearing starts to occur. I've also found that going to "Compositor" settings, turning it off then back on seems to solve the issue. Anybody has any idea what could be taking place? This is Xubuntu 18.04 running on a Samsung laptop using the default Nouveau display driver.
[02:31] <Zunino> I have no clue what's going on, but the situation seems to suggest something is being deactivated when suspending and then failing to be restored when the system is resumed.
[04:01] <guiverc> posted on a g+ feed [of mine] 'Flavio Lima writes "Hello! I would like to congratulate the developers for the excellent work on Xubuntu. I've been using the OS for some time, and every day I'm more in love. The choice of the standard applications that come with the distro, is fantastic, simple and objective. Congratulations to all of you!"'
[04:02] <krytarik> Yeah, posted the same a bit earlier in the -offtopic channel too.
[04:04] <guiverc> :)  (didn't think of -offtopic)
[05:44] <akis> hi all. On your opinion which is the best way for a clean install of 18.04 with exactly the same configuration of my 16.04.4 system i run right now?
[05:46] <cfhowlett> 2.  make boot USB.  3. boot USB.  4.  select install > something else  5.  manually set /, swap and /home to current partitions.  6.  DO NOT FORMAT YOUR /home!
[05:47] <flocculant> shouldn't need to worry about swap - if it's there it will just find it
[05:47] <cfhowlett> yeah but since we're already doing a manual installation ...
[05:48] <flocculant> cfhowlett:I understand that - but it will just find it :)
[05:49] <flocculant> akis: if you have edited system files - in /etc for example you need to back them up - they'll get overwritten
[05:50] <flocculant> cfhowlett: also - if other os's are installed and use the same swap - changing it screws them up when they boot and swap uuid is now missing < experience :D
[05:51] <flocculant> akis: for instance I backup /etc/fstab, mpd stuff in /etc
[05:52] <akis> flocculant: actually some files are edited and my /home was configurated. what should i back to get the same confguration? Entire /home dir and /etc or else too?
[05:53] <flocculant> well good practice to backup anyway - but I'd certainly do /home and files you've edited
[05:55] <akis> flocculant: gsync is it recommended for a reliable backup?
[05:55] <flocculant> well
[05:56] <flocculant> here I have to admit to telling people to backup while failing to do so myself ...
[05:56] <flocculant> so - no idea I'm afraid
[05:57] <akis> ok, no prob. should I proceed with the clean installation now or wait for the 1st point release?
[05:57] <flocculant> ok - well I know that there are issues being dealt with - external to 'Xubuntu' but packages that we use, or could use
[05:58] <cfhowlett> Personally, I always wait for lts.1 for OS upgrades
[05:58] <flocculant> nvidia issues for example
[05:58] <flocculant> cfhowlett: ack for sure
[06:00] <flocculant> akis: you could grab the iso and check it out live - see how your hardware works, but I would likely (if I wasn't me) wait as cfhowlett suggests
[06:03] <akis> ok, i am not impatient, although the live system seems working preety well. Actually what I bother about is how to re-confugure my new system exactly my current one. are there any reviews for 18.04 or any test performance specially for xubuntu?
[06:03] <cfhowlett> phoronix did one IIRC?
[06:05] <cfhowlett> eh, no.  ubuntu not xubuntu
[06:05] <flocculant> akis: just exactly how is your disk layout setup?
[06:07] <akis> just exactly my applications and desktop are already configured
[06:08] <flocculant> not what I mean - I'm talking about disks/partitions
[06:09] <akis> that is easy enough.
[06:10] <akis> only one partition (with swap for which i decreased swapiness)
[06:11] <flocculant> k
[06:12] <flocculant> as far as performance goes - unless something has been done with your exact machine - you'll not find one
[06:16] <akis> I leave now, thank you for your time today, have a good day.
[09:54] <dreamon> have a PC with installed unity. now want to use xubuntu. Installed xbuntu-desktop but xfce4-appearance-setting was not installed too
[10:11] <dreamon> have it
[10:47] <Spass> dreamon, did you solve your problem?
[10:53] <dreamon> yes. ;9
[10:53] <dreamon> thanks
[10:58] <alsetema> Hello, does anyone know how to enable the "pop" sound when you lower or raise the volume in xubuntu 18.04? Thank you.
[13:08] <quibbler> hello! -- so, I have an install that was originally ubuntu, I converted over to xfce, and did an upgrade to 18.04.... Now the icons in xfce are completely broken... I've tried reinstalling all the normal themes, reinstalling thunar, updating icon caches... none of it has worked
[13:17] <Javabean> !patience
[14:47] <Spass> is there any GUI tool to slow down my mouse cursor or I have to rely on a configuration files? the touchpad and trackpoint are just too fast on my laptop on 18.04
[14:55] <GridCube> Spass: in the configurations menu there is a pointers settings area, there you can change the speed and aceleration
[14:56] <cfhowlett> settings > mouse & touchpad > Pointer Speed > acceleration
[14:57] <Spass> yeah, but that's only acceleration, not speed
[14:59] <Spass> GridCube, I've looked there  before asking, and iirc there was a speed slider there before, but now I can only see acceleration
[15:00] <GridCube> weird
[15:00] <GridCube> Spass: there should be a drop down menu where you can choose which pointer device to work on
[15:01] <GridCube> maybe you are touching the configuration of a different device?
[15:03] <Spass> the point is I have nothing to touch :) and yes, I have both my devices on that drop down list and I can change between them, but I can't see the speed slider, can someone send me a screenshot?
[15:04] <GridCube> im not on xubuntu at the moment so i cant
[15:12] <flocculant> Spass: doesn't appear to be acceleation any longer - look at https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/291752/faster-mouse-acceleration-on-xfce4
[15:17] <Spass> I was searching for an answer and it seems that I need to change the speed by xinput command and some script on system startup, it seems kind of weird to me that the system configuration tool doesn't provide a simple slider for that
[15:18] <flocculant> well someone obviously thought it wasn't weird - 16.04 had acceleration and sensitivity
[15:19] <flocculant> raise a bug report - but at bugzilla
[15:19] <Spass> on my dekstop my mouse works fine, so I don't miss that speed/sensitivity/resolution setting, but on my laptop the mouse cursor just flies :/
[15:19] <Spass> hard to even operate
[15:21] <flocculant> then it's a bug
[15:24] <Spass> why the developer decided to remove that essential (IMHO) feature I have no idea
[15:25] <cfhowlett> #xfce team would know
[15:26] <Spass> I'll try to ask there
[15:33] <Spass> ok, I'm not alone https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12140
[15:34] <Spass> reported on: 2015-08-16
[15:34] <cfhowlett> seems unlikely that a priority fix is forthcoming
[15:50] <likemindead> Anyone been able to install UNETBOOTIN on Xubuntu 18.04 yet?
[16:16] <likemindead> I'm wanting to make a Live USB but UNETBOOTIN won't install on 18.04 for some reason.
[19:30] <drleviathan> w00t! I've upgraded to 18.04 on my 2013 MacBookPro
[19:31] <drleviathan> I had a little trouble when xubuntu would not detect the Netgear EA 101 USB ethernet adapter which I usually use for installs.
[19:33] <drleviathan> Dunno exactly what went wrong, but I scrounged around, found a Netgear WG111T USB wireless stick, which Just Worked.
[19:34] <drleviathan> All this because the MBP wireless chipset is still not supported at install.  Gotta install bcmwl-kernel-source package after the fact.
[19:35] <drleviathan> I will now reboot to see if the screen turns black after installing the nvidia drivers.  I think maybe I made the changes necessary to prevent that, but we'll see.
[19:40] <drleviathan> yay! no black screen after installing nvidia drivers.  I added "nomodeset" to the grub kernel arguments which is supposed to solve that problem.
[22:22] <eblu> hey! i've been having some problems with xubuntu.
[22:22] <eblu> i'm not sure what's been happening but whenever i log in XFCE doesn't really "show up"
[22:23] <eblu> everything's still there. my wallpaper loads, my cursor changes depending on what's under it, but nothing renders aside from my top panel
[22:24] <eblu> things load properly after i log in if i switch TTYs, but that's a workaround and i want to fix the problem :P
[22:42] <drleviathan> eblu, have you considered copying your old xfce config files to the side and creating new default configs?
[22:42] <eblu> how do i go about doing so?
[22:42] <eblu> i tried deleting .config/xfce4 but that didn't help
[22:43] <eblu> i also tried purging the saved sessions
[22:43] <drleviathan> hrm... that was basically what I was thinking, although I wonder if there are other config files to move.
[22:43] <eblu> there should be, my panel layout remained after i deleted the files
[22:44] <drleviathan> perhaps move all of .config to the side (.old-config) and relog to see what is added to the new .config
[22:44] <eblu> alright, i'll try
[22:45] <drleviathan> then you could try moving .config to .new-config, moving .old-config back, and then copying contents of .new-config on top of that.
[22:49] <eblu> well, that didn't work
[22:49] <eblu> same outcome :(
[22:49] <drleviathan> bummer
[22:49] <drleviathan> are you on 18.04 or an older version?
[22:49] <eblu> yeah i'm on 18.04
[22:50] <eblu> fresh installed it last night
[22:51] <drleviathan> I fresh installed to 18.04 this morning.  I wonder if I'll see that problem.
[22:52] <drleviathan> eblu, do an "ls -lrt /var/log"   what are the most recent log files there?  I wonder if errors might be added to a relevant log file.
[22:52] <eblu> for reference, here's the list of packages i have installed
[22:52] <eblu> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/RGNsc7HkCB/
[22:53] <eblu> here's the ls output
[22:53] <eblu> https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/wBnXmfV4K3/
[22:55] <drleviathan> eblu, could you make sure the contents of your home dir belong to you?  do "ls -l ~/"  The user+group look correct?
[22:55] <eblu> yeah, they're all assigned to me
[22:57] <drleviathan> oh this problem rings a bell... maybe make sure you have eye candy disabled?  I always run with minimal eye-candy so I don't remember where it is in the settings.
[22:57] <eblu> "eye-candy" as in the compositor?
[22:58] <drleviathan> yeah I think that is the thing
[22:58] <eblu> hm, i'll try
[23:04] <eblu> looks like that didn't work
[23:04] <eblu> tried removing the vala appmenu i installed, no dice there either
[23:04] <drleviathan> bummer.  I'm out of ideas.
[23:04] <eblu> hm
[23:04] <eblu> how do i reinstall all of the base packages?
[23:05] <drleviathan> dunno, I'd have to google
[23:12] <krytarik> This ain't Windows - willy-nilly reinstalling things usually doesn't help.
[23:12] <eblu> okay then
[23:13] <eblu> i'll see if i can find out how to take a peek at the logs
[23:15] <eblu> dang it, almost accidentally installed a snap :P
[23:15] <eblu> i'm not a believer in these sandboxed applications just yet
[23:16] <eblu> alright, let me relog and see what the logs say
[23:27] <eblu> in my endeavors to figure out what's wrong, i think i somehow made xubuntu think that it was windows http://i.imgur.com/XUts5EV.png
[23:28] <eblu> anyway, it appears that appmenu-gtk-module might be erroring out and causing my problem
[23:29] <eblu> aha, vala appmenu left behind a shell script
[23:30] <eblu> let me see if that works
[23:32] <eblu> AHA, turns out i had to reboot
[23:32] <eblu> forgot that not everything eliminates rebooting on linux
[23:32] <eblu> thanks for the help anyway guys!
[23:34] <eblu> sadly i'll have to redo my panel prefs again but that shouldn't be too hard
[23:38] <krytarik> This is why it was suggested to just rename, not remove.. >_>
[23:39] <eblu> it's ok, i didn't change anything too much
[23:56]  * ^Saso^ on 1:JOIN:#:/msg ????? ????
[23:57] <krytarik> ..Wut?


[00:04] <squish102> what is the best tool to take my dvd's and make them xvids so i can view them from mythtv and that they dont take too much space
[01:28] <lime4x4> is there a trick to get a nvidia  geforce 7150
[01:28] <lime4x4> too work
[01:28] <tgm4883_laptop> um, install the drivers?
[01:29] <lime4x4> i tried selecting restricted drivers and it still wants to use the vesa drivers
[01:29] <lime4x4> the video gpu is built into the board with dvi,vga and hdmi output
[01:30] <tgm4883_laptop> strange
[01:31] <lime4x4> this is the board i'm using http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813188021
[01:33] <lime4x4> i guess my next step is to try and install envy
[01:33] <tgm4883_laptop> !envy
[01:33] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[01:33] <lime4x4> i tried using the restricted drivers and there not installing
[01:35] <lime4x4> i went with that board cause it uses a nvidia chipset
[01:35] <lime4x4> and built in video
[01:37] <lime4x4> I just don't know why the restricted drivers aren't being installed/used
[01:39] <blkorpheus> ppl really have a difficult time installing the nvidia drivers from nvidia huh?
[01:39] <blkorpheus> its really simple
[01:40] <lime4x4> not really i have a gutsy box with dual geforce pci-e cards in sli mode and the restricted driver manager worked like a charm
[01:41] <blkorpheus> what do you mean not really, never said the restricted manager would not or does not work
[01:41] <blkorpheus> the nvidia drivers from the site, work better
[01:41] <lime4x4> it was in reference to your first post
[01:41] <blkorpheus> because they generally are newer than those in the repos
[01:42] <blkorpheus> the latest nvidia driver has a lot of fixes for compiz and whatnot
[01:42] <blkorpheus> eom
[01:43] <lime4x4> well i guess i will try and install the drivers from nvidia's site and c what happens
[01:45] <lime4x4> is 169.09 the latest version?
[01:46] <lime4x4> since my board uses a geforce 7150 should i install the legacy driver's instead?
[06:56] <compy> is it better to rip to .vob or .iso
[12:21] <eddan> When booting from the 7.10 cd, I've tried both normal install and safe graphics mode. But after some loading (including a mythtv boot screen), I'm suddenly stuck at in easybox with (initramfs) as prompt. Can I somehow disable the fancy mythtv boot screen so I can see what actually happens before it stops?
[12:36] <eddan> oh, it's busybox, not easybox :)
[12:59] <eddan> Is the alternative (text-mode) installer available for mythbuntu or is that ubuntu only?
[13:00] <laga> there's not text-mode installer for mythbuntu. you can just use the the alternative ubuntu installer and add mythbuntu later
[13:01] <eddan> ok... There's no drawbacks to that approach?
[13:03] <eddan> I mean, besides that I need to use a text-mode installer.
[13:05] <laga> well, since you want to do that it's not exactly a drawback .)
[13:05] <laga> um
[13:05] <laga> i think you won't get the mythbuntu mythtv theme that way
[13:05] <laga> but i wouldn't worry about that :)
[13:07] <jduggan> just install blootube :)
[13:07] <eddan> Hope I can skip kde (or gnome) during the install, total bloatware imho.
[13:08]  * laga not sure
[13:08] <laga> you don't get them if you do a server install, though
[13:08] <laga> but just try it :)
[13:09] <eddan> hang on
[13:11] <eddan> Hmm, I have a scsi cd-rom drive, do I need to pass some parameters to enable scsi support or something? So annoying that I don't get to see any error messages. ctrl+alt+f1 just shows Loading...
[13:12] <jduggan> dont know for sure but you may be able to pass nosplash as a boot option to stop the mythbuntu splash cscreen
[13:13] <eddan> jduggan: ah, will try.
[13:15] <eddan> nope, still got the splash screen.. I hit F6 and added "nosplash" in the end.
[13:18] <eddan> s/in/at
[13:26] <eddan> Ok, trying the text-mode installer now
[13:31] <Rimers> hi guys
[13:32] <Rimers> anyone got a nice sugestion as to what filesystem i should use for my new 500gb disk in my mythbuntu system?
[13:32] <Rimers> i want it to be nice, fast and reliable
[13:36] <Rimers> anyone??
[13:41] <directhex|work> Rimers, use ext3 for system partitions, xfs for recordings
[13:42] <directhex|work> Rimers, that's general best practice
[13:42] <Rimers> okay, thanks :) got my system partition sorted allready :) thanks
[13:44] <directhex|work> xfs is acceptable for system partitions if you feel daring, and/or have a big expensive support contract with sgi
[15:19]  * Viaken has never known XFS to be that unstable.
[15:21] <mindframe-> Viaken, it doesn't handle power loss well, as I recently learned.
[15:21] <mindframe-> other than that it's fantastic
[15:25] <rhpot1991_laptop> xfs on a usb drive mounted incorrectly can give you a heck of a headache
[15:25] <rhpot1991_laptop> had it corrupting the FS every time it would power down
[15:27] <Viaken> Ah. Might be why I haven't had troubles. My UPSs work fairly well.
[15:28] <rhpot1991_laptop> is it a usb drive, or an internal one?
[15:34] <Viaken> I use it on internal drives.
[15:35] <rhpot1991_laptop> try running the check/repair utilities on it, should be able to recover
[16:37] <dwf_starband> am i supposed to have a mythtv user?
[16:39] <dwf_starband> mythfilldatabase stoped working for me about the beginning of the year, I havent had time to mess with it till now, I was googeling about it and one guy said he was able to get it to run by loging in as the mythtv user, but i dont have a mythtv user, should i?
[16:39] <dwf_starband> and if i do, does the password matter? or will i need to change it somewhere as well?
[16:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> try running it by hand with whatever user you use on that box
[16:40] <dwf_starband> mythfilldatabase?
[16:40] <rhpot1991_laptop> yep
[16:40] <rhpot1991_laptop> hopefully it will give you some sort of hint as to what the problem is
[16:40] <dwf_starband> i just get errors, "failed writing http request: bad file descriptor"
[16:41] <dwf_starband> http request sent, awaiting response... 401 unauthorized

[19:03] <Lossif> Hey guys, I am having an issue with my mythbuntu livecd...
[19:03] <Lossif> It keeps freezing on the install, locking up at the:
[19:03] <Lossif> * Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)
[19:04] <superm1> odds are it's not freezing
[19:04] <superm1> but that X isn't coming up
[19:04] <superm1> hit ctrl alt f1
[19:04] <superm1> and you can look at the logs in /var/log
[19:04] <Lossif> well... now that you mention it when I use the live cd for 7.04
[19:04] <rhpot1991_laptop> bad burn maybe, is there any sort of disc check built in?
[19:04] <Lossif> it mentions that the xserver is not coming up
[19:05] <Lossif> or something
[19:05] <Lossif> now... I just installed a new graphics card...
[19:05] <Lossif> when I tried to use the vga out on the motherboard
[19:06] <Lossif> it would not go much past the install menu
[19:06] <Lossif> then the monitors would blank and they would give me their default error msg
[19:08] <Lossif> so I stuck in a card with a dvi and it got further, but  not much
[19:08] <Lossif> I found this regarding it
[19:08] <Lossif> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590132.html
[19:08] <Lossif> but... they talk about ATI cards and I have an asus nvidia card
[19:11] <Lossif> superm1: you were correct it was not frozen
[19:11] <Lossif> rhpot1991_laptop: I check the disc already and it passed
[19:21] <grndslm> i need help... I can't seem to get mythtv working anymore as it looks like there's some kinda hard drive issue with my /archive directory that is stores all recorded shows onto a separate hard drive that has LVM... here's all pertinent info:  http://pastebin.ca/871140
[19:26] <superm1> Lossif, well so try safe graphics mode
[19:26] <superm1> on your card(s)
[19:26] <superm1> and see if you have more luck there
[19:26] <Lossif> just did
[19:26] <Lossif> and no such luck
[19:26] <superm1> alternatively you can try the 8.04 alpha disk
[19:26] <superm1> and see if it gets further (and has better support for your card)
[19:26] <Lossif> hmm
[19:31] <Lossif> is there any know issue with mythbuntu and PCI express cards?
[19:32] <superm1> well not pcie cards in particular
[19:32] <superm1> i use one myself :)
[19:34] <Lossif> I wouldn't think so either... and this is a 2 year old card so I would have assumed it would be supported as well
[19:34] <Lossif> but when I checked the log like you suggested
[19:35] <Lossif> it said that there was no display
[19:35] <Lossif> and that vesa had not been loaded
[19:36] <superm1> well you can try to tweak the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:37] <superm1> see if it was just a funny installation
[19:37] <superm1> or even better you can install a restricted driver
[19:37] <Lossif> I am booting off of a livecd
[19:37] <superm1> in command line
[19:37] <superm1> yeah its still there
[19:37] <superm1> even though its a livecd
[19:37] <Lossif> sorry, I forgot to mention I am a complete noob
[19:38] <superm1> Lossif, :)
[19:38] <superm1> Lossif, okay so is this an nvidia or ati card?
[19:38] <superm1> you said ati right?
[19:38] <Lossif> nvidia
[19:38] <superm1> okay what series?
[19:38] <Lossif> I heard ati was flakey with linux
[19:38] <superm1> 5,6,7,8?
[19:38] <Lossif> 6200
[19:38] <superm1> okay install nvidia-glx-new
[19:38] <superm1> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[19:38] <Lossif> one sec
[19:38] <superm1> and then you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[19:39] <Lossif> started it to reboot
[19:39] <superm1> and change the line referrering to vesa to "nvidia"
[19:39] <superm1> after you do that, you can try to restart gdm
[19:39] <superm1> via
[19:39] <superm1> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[19:39] <Lossif> huh... that actually doesn't seem too to difficult
[19:40] <superm1> well if it works, that would be spectacular, and a solution for a lot of people that run into this
[19:40] <superm1> so the kernel modules are shipped, so its possible this will just "work" out fine
[19:46] <Lossif> ok it stopepd the gnome display manager
[19:46] <Lossif> but it failed to start
[19:48] <superm1> check the log again
[19:48] <superm1> and see
[19:57] <Lossif> I just did it again... and it said it started the gnome display manager
[20:01] <lime4x4> I can't install the restricted drivers for a nvidia 7150 card when i do my screen goes to 860x640 resolution and if i try to enable a higher res my screen gets all fuzzy and unreadable
[20:05] <tgm4883_laptop> lime4x4, what kind of tv?
[20:06] <lime4x4> it's a 51 inch widescreen i'm connecting the pc to the tv thru a dvi cable
[20:06] <lime4x4> but it also does the samething on a 19 inch lcd panel
[20:07] <Seeker`> how does the "mute" work in myth? (i.e. which channel does it control?)
[20:07] <Seeker`> because when I press mute, I can still hear sound playing quietly
[20:07] <tgm4883_laptop> seeker i believe it is a program mute
[20:07] <tgm4883_laptop> although im not real sure as i always just use the tv mute
[20:08] <Seeker`> looking at alsamixer, it sets the PCM channel to '0'
[20:09] <Seeker`> but I have to mute the PCM channel to actually stop all sound
[20:09] <lime4x4> i went with a htpc motherboard with the nvidia onboard videovga,hdmi and dvi
[20:10] <tgm4883_laptop> on a side note, why would you use mute?
[20:12] <Seeker`> tgm4883_laptop: Because it can be useful to silence the TV
[20:12] <tgm4883_laptop> but why would you want to silence the tv?  I mean, if you get a phone call or something i can see needing it quiet, but you wouldn't want to miss the program so why not pause?
[20:13] <Lossif> comercials
[20:13] <tgm4883_laptop> this is a serious question, as i have wondered why we still have mute buttons
[20:13] <tgm4883_laptop> Lossif, you guys watch commercials/
[20:13] <tgm4883_laptop> ?
[20:13] <Lossif> well... if you watch tv in real time ever
[20:13] <Seeker`> because I usually have the TV on as background noise while I'm working, so I'm not bothered about missing it, but i would like it to be quiet
[20:13] <tgm4883_laptop> whats this real time thing?
[20:14] <Lossif> hah hah
[20:14] <tgm4883_laptop> Seeker`, now i'm really confused
[20:14] <tgm4883_laptop> you want background noise, but you want to mute it?
[20:14] <Seeker`> tgm4883_laptop: If I get a call etc. I want it to be quiet
[20:14] <tgm4883_laptop> ah
[20:14] <Lossif> heck my grandfather has a tv with a "zoom" button...
[20:14] <Lossif> talk about useless
[20:15] <tgm4883_laptop> well, i must admit that the zoom feature isn't entirelly useless
[20:15] <laga> there are some uses for that, but this channel is supposed to be family-friendly
[20:15] <tgm4883_laptop> for instance, I have direct tv and have to use a pvr150 to get my channels
[20:16] <tgm4883_laptop> some programs are broadcast in 16:9, although when they come in they are 4:3 (black bars on the top and bottom)
[20:16] <tgm4883_laptop> so zooming that fixes the issue for my widescreen tv's
[20:16] <Lossif> well I don't mean zoom to full or widescreen
[20:16] <Lossif> he has a  2:3 format tv
[20:17] <tgm4883_laptop> you mean the zoom way in feature
[20:17] <tgm4883_laptop> like zoom x10
[20:17] <Lossif> yep
[20:17] <Lossif> it just zooms in
[20:17] <tgm4883_laptop> it's so you can get closeups of nipples in porn
[20:17] <laga> "those are some delicious 60 pixels"
[20:18] <tgm4883_laptop> thats exactly what it is for, i'm 95% sure of it
[20:18] <Lossif> well it just makes an already fuzzy picture
[20:18] <Lossif> even fuzzier
[20:18] <tgm4883_laptop> there are a couple features of the dvd spec specifically for the porn industry
[20:34] <Lossif> if I can get regular ubuntu 7.10 to work
[20:34] <Lossif> how hard is it to get mythtv to work as a front/backend?
[20:35] <Lossif> or would you recomend just going with alpha 8.04?
[20:39] <blkorpheus> Lossif, what is your particular question, I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish
[20:40] <Lossif> I am having video issues that seem to be only popping with the mythbuntu 7.04
[20:40] <blkorpheus> oh
[20:40] <Lossif> http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590132.html
[20:40] <blkorpheus> well do you want a dedicated frontend or a complete machine with mythtv?
[20:41] <blkorpheus> I'd upgraded to 7.10
[20:41] <blkorpheus> I'd upgrad to 7.10
[20:41] <blkorpheus> I'd upgrade to 7.10
[20:41] <Lossif> alls I care about is mythtv
[20:41] <Lossif> don't care to much about having a fully running operating system
[20:42] <blkorpheus> ok, well just upgrade your mythbuntu box to 7.10
[20:42] <blkorpheus> but there may be more to your issue than just the version
[20:42] <blkorpheus> did it ever work correctly?
[20:42] <Lossif> yes it did
[20:43] <Lossif> then I just put in a new graphics card...
[20:43] <Lossif> and the card works fine
[20:43] <Lossif> tested it in a windows box
[20:45] <blkorpheus> there is your "problem" there
[20:45] <blkorpheus> whocares what it does in windows?
[20:45] <blkorpheus> you have to make sure in works in Linux
[20:47] <Lossif> well... it is an old 6200 nvidia card
[20:47] <Lossif> asus
[20:49] <blkorpheus> should work fine
[20:49] <blkorpheus> if you can
[20:49] <blkorpheus> install the driver from nvidias site
[20:50] <blkorpheus> I have a 6200
[20:50] <blkorpheus> works better withthe drivers from Nvidia
[20:50] <blkorpheus> I have not used ubuntu's packaged drivers since they started with the restricted manager stuff
[20:52] <Lossif> how do you do that automitcally with a livecd?
[20:53] <Lossif> I can't even get the live cd to get past the "* Running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local)"
[20:53] <Lossif> it goes to the menu
[20:54] <Lossif> brings up the mythbuntu load screen
[20:54] <rhpot1991_laptop> blkorpheus: strange, I use the ubuntu drivers on my 6200 just fine
[20:54] <rhpot1991_laptop> nvidia drivers are easy as cake compared to the hell that is ati drivers
[20:54] <Lossif> the cylon bar runs across for a bit
[20:55] <MythbuntuGuest87> hi all
[20:56] <Lossif> then brings up this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3843/
[20:56] <MythbuntuGuest87> looking to setup mythbuntu box with blu ray and hd dvd playback is it possible?
[20:58] <Lossif> superm1 had me load the nvidia drivers then restart the gdm...
[20:58] <Lossif> but I didn't know where to go from there
[21:02] <MythbuntuGuest87> can mythbuntu playback blu ray disks
[21:03] <laga> MythbuntuGuest87: if you can play bluray/hd dvd on linux, you can play them in mythbuntu
[21:03] <laga> usually
[21:06] <MythbuntuGuest87> what about 1080p output no reduction in picture Q
[21:08] <ravennium> anyone awake? I kinda fucked up my mythsystem... is it possible to edit xorg.conf anyway in the safe mode?
[21:08] <ravennium> need to remove EDID lines....
[21:09] <rhpot1991_laptop> ravennium: /etc/X11/xorg.conf is where its at
[21:09] <ravennium> i can't "access" it
[21:10] <rhpot1991_laptop> sudo vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:10] <rhpot1991_laptop> ?
[21:10] <ravennium> what's the vi?
[21:10] <laga> if you have to ask
[21:10] <laga> use nano
[21:11] <ravennium> ok, how to exit vi... it says "/etc/x11/xorg.conf" [New Directory]
[21:11] <ravennium> on the bottom
[21:11] <rhpot1991_laptop> :q!
[21:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> type that
[21:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> capitol X too
[21:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> in X11, thats why its saying new dir
[21:12] <rhpot1991_laptop> and use nano like laga said
[21:13] <ravennium> hmm...
[21:14] <ravennium> ok I typed sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf and still the fucker says New File
[21:14] <ravennium> nope
[21:15] <ravennium> misspelled...
[21:15] <ravennium> still a noob... but this x to X is tooooooooo embarassing...
[21:17] <ravennium> okay now that you're awake... my problem is that when I connect my samsung Full HD lcd with DVI->HDMI straight to display adapter everything works fine... Now i would like to attach my amp to the chain, here's when the trouble starts. Yamaha seems to send bad EDID info to the HTPC and screws up the resolutions...
[21:18] <laga> complain to yamaha? ;)
[21:18] <ravennium> like they care :D
[21:19] <ravennium> I have tried to put Option "edid" "False", Option "IgnoreEDID" and Option "UseEdid" "False" lines to the xorg.conf with no satisfactory results
[21:20] <laga> ravennium: check http://wiki.mythtv.org on that one
[21:20] <ravennium> does it matter where I put it under Section Monitor? Like before or after identifier...
[21:20] <ravennium> ok
[21:20] <laga> there's a lot of information wrt nvidia and edid
[21:29] <Lossif> if ctrl-alt-f1 gets me to the terminal... what gets me back?
[21:30] <laga> ctrl-alt-f7
[21:30] <laga> or f8,f9
[21:31] <rhpot1991_laptop> its also worth noting that ctl+alt+bckspc reboots x
[21:31] <Lossif> ok... when I run the livecd and it starts to install mythbuntu my screen goes blank and my monitor displays "Cannot Display This Video Mode"
[21:32] <Lossif> I hit ctrl-alt-f1
[21:32] <Lossif> and it brigns up the terminal
[21:32] <Lossif> but when I try to go back with f7
[21:32] <Lossif> it displays the error msg
[21:32] <superm1> Lossif, while at the screen that your "monitor cant display the mode"
[21:32] <superm1> try to hit ctrl alt -
[21:32] <superm1> or ctrl alt +
[21:33] <superm1> those sometimes will toggle resolutions
[21:33] <Lossif> hey
[21:33] <Lossif> there we go!
[21:33] <superm1> i had some errands to run for a bit
[21:33] <superm1> should have mentioned :)
[21:33] <Lossif> this has been my problem the whole TIME!!!
[21:33] <Lossif> omfg!
[21:33] <superm1> does that work?
[21:33] <Lossif> yes!!!
[21:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> go make that res your default then
[21:34] <Lossif> HAHAHA! thank you thank you!
[21:34] <superm1> haha. wonderful
[21:34] <superm1> np
[21:34] <rhpot1991_laptop> superm1: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=14228
[21:35] <lime4x4> any ideas on how to fix all these unknown devices?? http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/3844/
[21:35] <superm1> rhpot1991_laptop, that's functional
[21:35] <superm1> do you use ppope?
[21:35] <superm1> pppoe even
[21:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> nope :(
[21:36] <rhpot1991_laptop> but its a start
[21:36] <superm1> well you can add it to boot
[21:36] <superm1> though in an init script
[21:37] <superm1> which should be enough for most cases
[21:37] <superm1> eg power outage
[21:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> ya
[21:37] <superm1> very rare you lose your ip while router is on
[21:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> mine has been the same for 3+ months now
[21:37] <rhpot1991_laptop> to the point where I can't get rid of it when I want to
[21:37] <superm1> haha
[21:38] <superm1> why would you want to change it?'
[21:38] <rhpot1991_laptop> there are some download services that let you download once per x time, used to be able to trick them by dropping my IP
[21:38] <superm1> oh well that and proxies :)
[21:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> last I tried most proxies didn't work too well
[21:39] <rhpot1991_laptop> so I just gave up
[21:39] <ravennium> laga... after removing few false edid lines I got it working.  I have mapped to a FreeNAS server. I can view video and music files from the NAS. However the DVD player function only plays the warning statement of dvd's and shuts down. Any Idea?
[21:45] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest26, install the regionset util
[21:45] <superm1> and set your region
[21:45] <superm1> and then install libdvdcss2
[21:45] <MythbuntuGuest26> thanks
[21:46] <lime4x4> how can i get a bigger screen for vnc?
[21:47] <rhpot1991_laptop> and then hope its not an sony ARccOS dvd
[21:47] <MythbuntuGuest26> How does a person become a member of this chat forum and not a Mythguest?
[21:48] <superm1> MythbuntuGuest26, you can change your nickname from the webclient, or use another client
[21:48] <superm1> like x-chat
[21:48] <superm1> or pidgin
[21:48] <superm1> or giam
[21:48] <superm1> *gaim
[21:48] <MythbuntuGuest26> thanks
[21:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> gaim no longer exists
[21:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> is pidgin
[21:48] <superm1> well older ubuntu releases
[21:48] <superm1> use gaim
[21:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> true
[21:48] <superm1> so in case on that
[21:48] <MythbuntuGuest26> what about windows based machines
[21:48] <rhpot1991_laptop> go get pidgin
[21:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> or mirc or something the like
[21:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> mirc is only free for 30 days or something though, yuck
[21:49] <superm1> yuck mirc
[21:49] <superm1> use pidgin instead
[21:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> pidgin irc isn't half bad
[21:49] <superm1> or xchat was ported to windows
[21:49] <superm1> there is a pay version and a free version
[21:49] <rhpot1991_laptop> I like screen + bitchx, but not for multiple rooms
[21:49] <superm1> http://www.silverex.org/news/
[21:50] <Lossif> chatzilla rocks
[21:50] <Lossif> you can even use it as a tab in firefox now
[21:51]  * superm1 thinks these should all be added to the support page
[21:51] <rhpot1991_laptop> prob a good idea
[21:56] <superm1> http://mythbuntu.org/support
[21:56] <superm1> there we go
[21:56] <superm1> even with apt:// links and everything
[22:19] <lime4x4> so i'm i correct in assuming that if mythbuntu 7.10 can't install the right drivers gusty 7.10 won't either?
[22:23] <superm1> ya
[22:45] <lime4x4> so how would i go about installing and finding nvidia drivers?
[22:48] <superm1> newer card?
[22:48] <superm1> you have two options...
[22:48] <superm1> envy
[22:48] <superm1> or installing the .run
[22:48] <superm1> that nvidia ships
[22:50] <lime4x4> there are now .run files on the cd
[22:50] <lime4x4> it's an nforce 630i/geforce 7150 htpc motherbaord
[22:51] <lime4x4> i will try envy and c what happens
[23:11] <rinaldi_> hi, is there an option to shut down the backend system with a frontend from another computer?
[23:13] <rinaldi_> if so, how would i do it?
[23:14] <tgm4883> err, rinaldi_ you could do it from the command line
[23:14] <rinaldi_> tgm4883: how would i go about doing that?
[23:14] <rinaldi_> bit of a noob with this
[23:15] <tgm4883> ssh *backend ip address*
[23:15] <tgm4883> then just
[23:15] <tgm4883> sudo shutdown -h now
[23:15] <rinaldi_> ;-)
[23:16] <rinaldi_> tgm4883: thanks
[23:16] <tgm4883> np
[23:20] <blkorpheus> rhpot1991_laptop, because I don't use the packaged nvidia drivers is no tto imply some defect in the ubuntu version.
[23:28] <Lossif> does the latest version of mythbuntu require to dload the latest dvd codecs to play a dvd?
[23:40] <tgm4883> Lossif, no
[23:40] <tgm4883> although
[23:40] <tgm4883> the question you probably meant to ask was
[23:40] <tgm4883> does mythbuntu require anything extra to play encrypted dvds
[23:40] <tgm4883> in which case the answer is yes
[23:52] <Lossif> and where might I find that "something extra"...?


[15:22] <thafreak> my pin was already up to date
[15:29] <belkinsa> Thank you for keeping it up to date

[09:39] <megaminxwin2> im using a macbook pro 7,1 and the wifi only works with the b43 reverse engineered driver
[09:39] <megaminxwin2> which gives me an average ping time of 250 ms
[09:39] <megaminxwin2> the proprietary driver worked until this morning
[09:40] <megaminxwin2> i have not had a kernel upgrade as far as i know, i set it on suspend last night and woke it up to find this issue
[09:40] <megaminxwin2> ???
[09:41] <Unit193> Did you try restarting network-manager?  (sudo service network-manager restart)
[09:41] <megaminxwin2> yep
[09:42] <megaminxwin2> did nothing
[09:42] <Unit193> Thought there was a current issue with suspending and NM, hm.
[09:43] <megaminxwin2> never affected me for some reason
[09:43] <megaminxwin2> unless thats the issue now i guess

[15:08] <pjotter> Hi everyone. Is there a 12.04.5 version of Xubuntu? Or is 12.04.4 the last one?
[15:10] <knome> xubuntu 12.04 is EOL since last april
[15:11] <pjotter> I know. But it's about the last Xubuntu that will run decently on my 1215 Eee PC.
[15:11] <knome> to explicitly answer your question, being EOL means no more releases either :)
[15:12] <pjotter> But 12.04 will still work ofcourse. But no security updates etc?
[15:12] <knome> well, you will get the non-xubuntu-specific updates for 5 years
[15:12] <m3n3chm0> EOL = End Of Life
[15:13] <pjotter> I'm installing a 'dead' OS :D
[15:13] <knome> but no xubuntu-specific packages are being updated, nor bugs in them fixed
[15:13] <pjotter> Well, thats good enough for me ;)
[15:13] <knome> it's your computer, your choice and your own risk ;)
[15:14] <pjotter> It won't run otherwise
[15:14] <pjotter> It's the only option I got I'm afraid. Recent Xubuntu releases have become too heavy for that little machine.
[15:15] <knome> or you can try another distro ;)
[15:16] <pjotter> I was thinking of Lubuntu but I'm not sure taht would be any lighter than Xubuntu
[15:16] <knome> it shares the same ubuntu core, so while it's lighter, not sure if it's light enough
[15:16] <pjotter> I also tried plain Debian. But it's too heavy too
[15:16] <knome> that said, there are things outside the ubuntu land
[15:18] <pjotter> I know
[15:19] <pjotter> Do you have any idea what is the cause of the 'heaviness' Is it the kernel or stuff that is installed along with it?
[15:20] <knome> it's a combination of many things
[15:20] <pjotter> Not something I could 'fix' by uninstalling/disabling some packages or something?
[15:20] <knome> not really
[15:21] <pjotter> I could make it a commandline only thing.
[15:21] <knome> it would still be running the ubuntu core, and at that point, other options would totally be better for the usecase
[15:26] <knome> bbl
[15:58] <xubuntu44w> hello, is someone can help me with my wifi configuration (in french it is possible)

[21:17] <hastiko> made live usb for 14.04...boots and gives me log in screen. Google says log in is 'xubuntu' and no password. That flashes the log in screen and resets it. MD5 sum is good. Ideas?

[21:54] <squinty> h-dawg,  lspci -nn | grep -i Network   should show you your wireless.  if broadcom then https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx   might also want to check Additional Drivers to see if anything is offered

[22:09] <h-dawg> when I do sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up it says operation not possible due to rf-kill
[23:10] <hastiko> is anyone ever active in here? its always dead and ignored
[23:14] <krytarik> hastiko: Depends on whether people see you crosspost in #ubuntu, I guess.


[05:03] <jibel> morning
[05:04] <tsimonq2> o/ jibel
[05:11] <jibel> hey tsimonq2
[05:25] <duflu> Morning jibel, tsimonq2
[05:26] <tsimonq2> o/ duflu
[05:27] <duflu> \o
[06:18] <oSoMoN> good morning desktoppers
[06:25] <tsimonq2> o/ oSoMoN
[06:31] <oSoMoN> hey tsimonq2 , congrats on the MOTU promotion!
[06:35] <ricotz> oSoMoN, hey, there is an updated wip-5.4 branch
[06:39] <oSoMoN> hey ricotz, thanks, taking a look now
[06:42] <tsimonq2> oSoMoN: Thanks :D
[06:51] <oSoMoN> ricotz, lgtm
[06:53] <ricotz> oSoMoN, pushed :)
[07:03] <seb128> good mroning desktopers
[07:08] <duflu> Morning seb128
[07:08] <seb128> hey duflu, how are you?
[07:08] <duflu> seb128, not too bad. You?
[07:08] <jamesh> hi seb128, duflu
[07:08] <seb128> duflu, I'm good thanks
[07:08] <duflu> Afternoon jamesh
[07:09] <jamesh> just had my new laptop delivered
[07:09] <duflu> woo
[07:09] <seb128> duflu, I just saw that you moved https://trello.com/c/3tMZbqwd/39-support-for-accelerated-video-playback-on-intel-in-totem-and-mpv to blocked, what is it blocked on? (would be nice to add the reason in a comment when something is blocked)
[07:09] <seb128> jamesh, which one did you get?
[07:09] <duflu> seb128, comment is already there :)
[07:09] <duflu> Same as last time
[07:10] <duflu> Also mentioned in status reports for a few weeks
[07:10] <jamesh> seb128: ThinkPad X1
[07:10] <seb128> duflu, oh, right, I didn't really understand this bug, that's about the ubuntu-restricted-addons changes?
[07:11] <seb128> having gstreamer1.0-vaapi added?
[07:11] <duflu> seb128, yes it's about finishing the OOTB experience
[07:11] <seb128> duflu, k, sorry about that, the patch name is "debdiff including lubuntu changes"
[07:12] <seb128> so I assumed it was something for lubuntu when I read it a few weeks ago
[07:12] <duflu> seb128, yeah it didn't help that the patch changed
[07:12] <duflu> Bryan asked me today if I could sponsor it :)
[07:12] <seb128> haha
[07:12] <seb128> I'm not familiar with that package
[07:13] <seb128> do we need the depends in main or partner?
[07:13] <duflu> ??
[07:17] <amano> Wow. JAdahl just pushed builtin screencasting and remote desktop support to Mutter. From what I can see it is VNC only and disabled by default: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=784199
[07:18] <duflu> I'm not familiar... has development pace been this rapid always or did it pick up recently?
[07:18] <amano> Considering the state of Remmina it is probably nice to have and probably stable by the time Ubuntu 18.04 arrive
[07:19] <amano> .... arrives.
[07:22] <amano> duflu, the example app for it is https://github.com/jadahl/gnome-remote-desktop. The initial commit was at the end of 2015.
[07:44] <amano> Interesting background information here: https://ctrl.blog/entry/wayland-gnome-remote-desktop
[07:46] <seb128> duflu, btw https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/18/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-5/ has a section about the launcher button being at the bottom
[07:46] <seb128> "For instance, the application picker button is kept at the bottom and not moved at the top of the dock. Indeed, the application picker button isn’t the BFB from the Unity world launching our “dash”"
[07:47] <duflu> seb128, that's fine. Reject the bug if you want
[07:47] <duflu> It's not important
[07:50] <seb128> I'm not going to close it since I'm not sure I agree with having it at the bottom
[07:50] <seb128> we need designers :-)
[07:54] <duflu> I have more challenging issues today like finding out why Totel needs 50% of its CPU time spent software filling pixels
[07:54] <duflu> Totem too
[07:56] <duflu> seb128, anyone, did you notice Alt+drag for moving windows doesn't work? Is that just in Wayland?
[07:56] <seb128> just in wayland
[07:56] <seb128> and yes, I keep hitting it and I find it frustrating
[07:56] <duflu> Cool, got a bug?
[07:57] <tjaalton> ctrl-win-arrow shortcuts don't work either
[07:58] <duflu> tjaalton, Aren't they less traditional and more Unity-only?
[07:58] <tjaalton> duflu: they worked at some point
[07:58] <seb128> duflu, no I don't, I should probably look for/open one
[07:58]  * duflu files another bug
[07:59] <tjaalton> btw, I added some xwayland backports to xserver, brings wacom support etc
[08:00] <duflu> tjaalton, Cool! I was wondering why Wacom support went backwards
[08:00] <tjaalton> I haven't tested any of it myself since my wacom is hidden in a moving box somewhere
[08:04] <seb128> Trevinho, good morning?
[08:04] <duflu> seb128, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1713650
[08:05] <Trevinho> hi seb128
[08:05] <Trevinho> morning
[08:05] <seb128> duflu, thanks
[08:05] <seb128> hey Trevinho :-)
[08:05] <seb128> so you are up, just hidding from us :p
[08:06] <Trevinho> seb128: yeah, I'm "a bear" in the morning.... I don't speak much even in real life :-D
[08:06] <seb128> hehe
[08:06] <seb128> Trevinho, anyway, I'm teasing you but I actually had a question
[08:06] <davmor2> Morning all
[08:07] <seb128> Trevinho, what's the status of the landing of the indicators build fixes for gcc7?
[08:07] <duflu> Morning davmor2, bear-Trevinho
[08:07] <seb128> hey davmor2
[08:08] <Trevinho> seb128: eh, I put that in hold as I had to finish the mutter and indicator extension work
[08:08] <Trevinho> seb128: however, the indicators are ready to land in theory
[08:08] <seb128> Trevinho, the ind... right, exactly
[08:08] <seb128> can we just do another landing for those?
[08:09] <seb128> we have other fixes/changes we can maybe land
[08:09] <Trevinho> seb128: waht needs love is unity/nux which fails in other archs because of libsigc++...
[08:09] <seb128> and I wanted to add a tweak for langpacks
[08:09] <Trevinho> seb128: ok, let me split the bileto
[08:09] <seb128> Trevinho, well, don't bother
[08:09] <seb128> Trevinho, just drop indicators from yours
[08:09] <Trevinho> seb128: I asked for a porter box for such archs...
[08:10] <duflu> seb128, worse for native Wayland apps: They have no title bar to drag either. You need to Alt+Space to get to the move option
[08:10] <Trevinho> seb128: ok, as you wish I can do mine in a sec
[08:10] <Trevinho> seb128: or steal indicators from https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2892
[08:11] <Trevinho> seb128: just let me know how to proceed
[08:12] <seb128> Trevinho, as said I want maybe to include some extra changes to the indicator
[08:12] <seb128> let me get my change up for review
[08:12] <seb128> Trevinho, what do you think about landing https://code.launchpad.net/~dobey/indicator-sound/drop-greeeter/+merge/320858 ?
[08:13] <seb128> well we don't need the change so maybe we should just land things that are useful
[08:18] <Trevinho> seb128: oh, that's seem ok for me
[08:49] <seb128> Trevinho, https://code.launchpad.net/~seb128/indicator-power/use-universe-translations/+merge/329797 and https://code.launchpad.net/~seb128/indicator-sound/use-universe-translations/+merge/329798 if you to add those and move to another silo?
[08:50] <Trevinho> seb128: ok, I'll do it in 5
[08:50] <seb128> Trevinho, thanks
[08:54] <mpt> andyrock, it is already the case that with the checkbox checked, a Livepatch update might not install immediately — because you might not be connected to the Internet when the update is published. Taking a few seconds to sign in is just another possible reason for delay.
[08:55] <Laney> /o\
[08:55] <Laney> hey we missed this channel's 10th birthday
[08:55] <Laney> 29/08 09:55:15 -!- Channel #ubuntu-desktop created Sun Nov 26 06:42:54 2006
[08:57] <andyrock> mpt: I've a branch with the behaviour you wanted, but it feels broken to me
[08:57] <andyrock> I'll push in a ppa
[08:58] <tsimonq2> Laney: gosh darnit
[08:58] <andyrock> mpt: would be easier for me with a spinner and binding the checkbox to the daemon status
[08:59] <mpt> andyrock, when you turn on a backup service for the first time, it’s plausibly interesting to see the setup status, because the first backup will start as soon as the setup is complete. But with Livepatch the first update might not happen until hours/days later, so there’s nothing interesting to wait for. “Enabled” is not a thing that is relevant to users.
[08:59] <mpt> And nor is “daemon status”.
[08:59] <andyrock> kk
[09:00] <andyrock> mpt: another problem is what should happens when you click multiple times on it
[09:00] <mpt> I appreciate that this does make multiple clicks a bit harder — you might have to turn off the daemon as soon as you’ve finished turning it on, or vice versa
[09:02] <andyrock> this is going to break your system if you do multiple clicking
[09:02] <mpt> Why would it break your system?
[09:02] <andyrock> well if it takes 1 min to enable the system and you queue 10 enable/disable commands
[09:02] <andyrock> or more
[09:03] <andyrock> you'll have in background software-properties-dbus for 10/15 minutes
[09:03] <andyrock> cancelling it's not an option
[09:03] <mpt> Then … implement it as a state rather than as a queue of commands
[09:04] <andyrock> mpt: it's not a queue
[09:04] <mpt> Good!
[09:04] <andyrock> right now: click->enable/disable
[09:05] <andyrock> I can use an idle but that does not guarantee that the requests will overlap
[09:06] <andyrock> *will not
[09:07] <mpt> andyrock, imagine the case where I click the checkbox three times: check, uncheck, check. After the first check, you tell the daemon to start up. When it tells you that it’s running, then you look at the current state of the checkbox. Is it checked? Yes. Is the daemon running? Yes. So you don’t need to do anything further.
[09:07] <Laney> seb128: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/1713391 <- did you work out it was in the patch or is it an upstream bug?
[09:07] <Trevinho> seb128: https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2928
[09:07] <Trevinho> nope... I missed your PRs :D
[09:07] <Laney> marcoooooooooo
[09:07] <Trevinho> laneeyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[09:10] <andyrock> mmm mpt that makes sense
[09:11] <seb128> Laney, it's in the patch, I talked to desrt a bit and she said she still planned to land that change in git this cycle but she was in a German class and couldn't look more at the time
[09:12] <Laney> sure
[09:12] <Laney> did she say she would fix that bug or?
[09:12] <Laney> otherwise I would ping muktupav_els :-)
[09:13] <seb128> she didn't
[09:13] <seb128> but I expected she would
[09:13] <seb128> could be wishful thinking from my part though :-)
[09:13] <Laney> heh
[09:14] <Laney> muktupavels: ^- interested in bug #1713391 ? it's in the per-session override patch
[09:21] <muktupavels> Laney: I am interested that per-desktop overrides are merged upstream. Not so much in bugs, but I will look at that bug.
[09:23] <Laney> muktupavels: you might be interested in not introducing bugs if it's merged maybe :P
[09:26] <muktupavels> Laney: patches are more or less from desrt and I already fixed few problems in them. :P
[09:26] <Laney> :-)
[09:27] <Laney> thanks for looking
[09:27] <muktupavels>  I will look at that bug :)
[09:32] <seb128> thanks
[09:48] <seb128> bah, I just let my laptop unlock in a public place while going to the toilet
[09:49] <seb128> ctrl-alt-L -> go reflex and the keybinding stopped working :-/
[09:49] <seb128> I need to get used to super-L
[09:50] <muktupavels> glib-compile-schemas are used without --strict, right?
[09:50] <seb128> muktupavels, correct
[09:51] <muktupavels> Ok, then I will update patch.
[09:51] <seb128> should we use --strict?
[09:51] <seb128> in any case if it double free without it that's still a bug
[09:51] <muktupavels> No.
[09:52] <muktupavels> I will update patch
[09:52] <seb128> thanks
[09:55]  * Laney changed the keybinding back to c-a-l
[10:05] <muktupavels> seb128, Laney: patch updated and attached to upstream bug.
[10:05] <seb128> muktupavels, thanks!
[10:07] <Laney> oh for g_auto
[10:12] <muktupavels> seb128:
[10:12] <muktupavels> Gtk/IMModule does not look like valid key!
[10:14] <Laney> they probably want to put that in overrides :/
[10:14] <flexiondotorg> Morning desktopers
[10:16] <flexiondotorg> Laney seb128 Trevinho I was at the Fit and Finish sprint with did_rocks and Will last week.
[10:16] <flexiondotorg> I was working on GTK theme fixes.
[10:16] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: yeah.... :)
[10:16] <seb128>  hey flexiondotorg, how was that?
[10:16] <flexiondotorg> I have a whole heap of stuff, that Will has approved :-)
[10:16] <seb128> muktupavels, Laney, yeah, that override seems buggy indeed
[10:16] <flexiondotorg> seb128 Was very productive.
[10:16] <seb128> great
[10:17] <flexiondotorg> But I have some questions about how best to proceed.
[10:17] <flexiondotorg> I need to rebase on a recently released ubuntu-themes.
[10:17] <flexiondotorg> The notebook refactor is massive ~1500 added ~1000 removed.
[10:18] <flexiondotorg> Then I have some much smaller discrete improvements.
[10:18] <flexiondotorg> Should I submit the Notebook refactor as a standalone merge proposal.
[10:19] <flexiondotorg> And when that change is merged released, submit a new merge proposal for the other odds and ends where each commit is a discrete change?
[10:19] <flexiondotorg> Or just create one merge proposal where notebook refactor is the first commit with the discrete changes each in a commit there after?
[10:20] <flexiondotorg> I can do the builds in Bileto, but I'll need someone to Approve the merge proposal(s).
[10:20] <flexiondotorg> Last week did_rocks Approved my Notebook refactor merge proposal, but that now need rebasing.
[10:20] <Laney> approved as in he did a code review?
[10:20] <Laney> or the design?
[10:21] <flexiondotorg> Will approved the design and didrocks did a light touch code review.
[10:21] <Laney> I think you should propose merge proposals, the smaller the better
[10:22] <Laney> You can set a prerequisite for the later ones on top of the refactor if you need to
[10:22] <Laney> Trevinh_o is probably going to be the one reviewing those
[10:22] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: I can look at them too
[10:22] <Laney> oho
[10:22] <flexiondotorg> Cool.
[10:22] <flexiondotorg> I'll start with a rebase of the Notebook refactor and then stack the other changes on that then.
[10:23] <Laney> If they don't touch the same lines then they don't need to be stacked
[10:23] <flexiondotorg> OK.
[10:23] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: mind that there's a bileto branch that I wanted to merge asap
[10:23] <flexiondotorg> Trevinho I think we did that as the sprint.
[10:23] <flexiondotorg> *at
[10:24] <flexiondotorg> Which is why I need to rebase.
[10:24] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: k
[10:25] <flexiondotorg> https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/2848#audit_log
[10:25] <flexiondotorg> Actually.
[10:25] <flexiondotorg> did_rock tried to publish but it failed with Bad Merges.
[10:26] <flexiondotorg> Trevinho ^
[10:26] <flexiondotorg> I'm planning on working on the theme updates in the evenings this week. I don't have time during day.
[10:31] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: yeah, use the bileto branch in the mean time as base
[10:32] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: the reason was that https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/ubuntu-themes/better-destructive-action/+merge/329392 was not reviewed
[10:32] <Trevinho> which I asked to do :)
[10:33] <Trevinho> ah, he actually did it
[10:33] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: I'll fix that later, anyway the bileto branch can be your base
[10:33] <andyrock> mpt: ok almost done
[10:33] <flexiondotorg> Trevinho OK, so the slipped through the net sorry.
[10:33] <flexiondotorg> I reviewed it. All good. I have now approve powers.
[10:34] <flexiondotorg> *no
[10:34] <andyrock> just one more thing: what about a generic error? e.g. network timeout, random error somewhere in the system
[10:34] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: ok, waiting for a fix c-lobrano fix too, at this point, it shouldn't bother you much if you use the branch as prereq
[10:34] <flexiondotorg> OK, I've not used Bileto as a base before. How do I do that?
[10:38] <mpt> andyrock, I guess that needs a standalone error dialog, since software-properties-gtk might not even be open when the error occurs
[10:39] <andyrock> kk can you provide me the text?
[10:39] <andyrock> mpt: ^^^
[10:43] <mpt> andyrock, how about:
[10:43] <mpt> primary text: Sorry, there’s been a problem in setting up Canonical Livepatch.
[10:43] <mpt> secondary text:  The error was: “%s”
[10:43] <mpt> buttons: Settings… Ignore
[10:44] <tjaalton> FYI, I'm about to move the apport script/links from xdiagnose to xserver-xorg, so that the dependency on xdiagnose can be dropped
[10:44] <tjaalton> I think it has served it's purpose by now
[10:46] <c-lobrano> Trevinho, flexiondotorg: fix for LP 1700100 has all the needed files now :)
[10:46] <andyrock> mpt: can we avoid the secondary text? because it's not easy to get one from canonical-livepatch
[10:47] <andyrock> if it's important I'll fix this
[10:47] <flexiondotorg> c-lobrano Thanks!
[10:47] <mpt> andyrock, hmm, well, it’s hard for a user to fix an error if they don’t know what it is
[10:48] <flexiondotorg> Trevinho If you kick of Bileto I can test from the PPA later.
[10:48] <c-lobrano> ;)
[10:51] <Trevinho> flexiondotorg: cool
[10:52] <Trevinho> thanks a lot c-lobrano
[11:07] <oSoMoN> chrisccoulson, hey, there's a chromium update ready for publication at https://launchpad.net/~canonical-chromium-builds/+archive/ubuntu/stage/+packages
[11:47] <chrisccoulson> oSoMoN, oh, yay
[11:47] <chrisccoulson> thanks
[11:56] <seb128> shrug
[11:56] <seb128> indicator-session landing failed because...
[11:57] <seb128> xnox, could you please stop touching desktop packages if you don't intend to respect the vcs or commit your changes?
[11:59] <xnox> seb128, sure. it would have been useful if desktop team moved indicators-* off url-launcher before feature freeze and enabled landing qt transition earlier instead on the 11th hour post feature freeze
[11:59] <xnox> seb128, feel free to revert/override my uploads as qt transition is done.
[12:00] <seb128> xnox, right, maybe I would have had some cycles for that if I was not busy redoing work and fixing the stuff you did without carring
[12:00] <xnox> yeah, i did mass upload of a few things to chop ubuntu-ui-toolkit which was blocking qt migration in bulk before hoping on a plane.
[12:05] <Beret> xnox, are you the one we can blame for breaking dpi scaling? :)
[12:05] <Beret> seb128, smack him!
[12:05] <xnox> Beret, in what toolkits? unity8 / qtubuntu?
[12:06] <seb128> Beret, GNOME?
[12:06] <Beret> xnox, I was referring to artful (gshell/wayland)
[12:06] <seb128> we changed desktop
[12:06] <Beret> yeah
[12:06] <seb128> Trevinho is working on fixing that
[12:06] <xnox> Beret, sorry did not touch stuff that affects gshell/wayland.
[12:06] <Beret> dang
[12:06] <Beret> seb128, then I decline my offer to hold xnox for you while you punch him in nyc
[12:06] <seb128> lol
[12:07] <xnox> Beret, you seem to make an assumption, that such actions would be considered as punishment by me...
[12:07] <xnox> anyway, offtopic
[12:08] <xnox> seb128, is unity-scopes-api a unity7 or unity8 thing? and does it still need to support clicks, or is that an acceptable degradation?
[12:09] <xnox> seb128, can you fix these to not depend on url-dispatcher?
[12:09] <xnox> $ reverse-depends --list src:url-dispatcher

[12:12] <seb128> xnox, unity8
[12:12] <seb128> I don't have slots to fix those
[12:12] <seb128> but we can add it to the our backlog
[12:13] <jbicha> Beret: I think I'm to blame for dpi scaling by uploading gnome-settings-daemon 3.25.91
[12:13] <Beret> jbicha, we forgive you
[12:13] <Beret> whois jbicha
[12:13]  * Beret hands himself a /
[12:13] <Beret> I must be seriously lagged
[12:14] <Beret> that's the third time I've done that this morning
[12:14] <Beret> I heard fractional dpi scaling was coming at some point too
[12:15] <jbicha> Beret: I think it will be fixed once we get mutter 3.25 but it's blocked because gjs/mozjs52 on armhf doesn't work
[12:16] <jbicha> there's an experimental gsettings for fractional scaling with mutter 3.25.91
[12:16] <Beret> neat
[12:17] <Beret> atm I get around it by specifying my own scaling settings for chrome and spotify
[12:17] <Beret> and letting wayland do the default 2:1
[12:17] <Beret> but smaller title bars would be welcome
[12:17] <Beret> or I guess it's mutter doing it
[12:19] <jbicha> Beret: if you like testing beta stuff, you can use the GNOME3 Staging PPA and set something like
[12:19] <jbicha> gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"
[13:18] <gQuigs> anyone mind sponsoring the discussed restricted-extras changes - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-restricted-addons/+bug/1709166, please?
[14:20] <oSoMoN> seb128, chrisccoulson : have you seen my e-mail about building chromium dev on trusty and C++14 support?
[14:21] <oSoMoN> does backporting clang 4.0 to trusty sound feasible/desirable, and if so who would take care of it?
[14:21] <seb128> oSoMoN, I didn't, when/where did you send it?
[14:22] <oSoMoN> seb128, to you and chris_ccoulson last Friday
[14:23] <seb128> oSoMoN, sorry but I don't have it, what was the title?
[14:24] <kenvandine> Laney, what's the status of the gnome-software UI for connecting interfaces?
[14:25]  * seb128 wonders why kenvandine is asking about that
[14:25] <kenvandine> seb128, i have a confined snap for gnome-system-monitor which requires interfaces that aren't auto connected :)
[14:25] <seb128> kenvandine, I doubt it's close from being ready to land, and shouldb't be much useful to us anyway since what we want is rather to autoconnect no?
[14:26] <seb128> ah, good luck with that
[14:26] <seb128> why aren't they autoconnected?
[14:26] <kenvandine> it works well though... as long as you make the connections :)
[14:26] <kenvandine> system-observe, hardware-observe, process-control
[14:26] <seb128> they should allow to autoconnect those
[14:26] <kenvandine> g-s-m won't run without those....
[14:26] <oSoMoN> seb128, "C++14 in chromium and trusty support"
[14:26] <kenvandine> they aren't
[14:27] <seb128> what's the point of having a system monitor without those?
[14:27] <kenvandine> indeed
[14:27] <seb128> kenvandine, right, that's why I say we should ask for them to be
[14:27] <seb128> isn't that up to the store team
[14:27] <seb128> to add them to the manifest?
[14:27] <kenvandine> oh... you can ask for them for a specific snap?
[14:27] <seb128> I don't know
[14:28] <kenvandine> :)
[14:28] <seb128> I assume you could
[14:28] <kenvandine> jdstrand, ^^ do you know?
[14:28] <oSoMoN> seb128, just re-sent
[14:28] <andyrock> seb128: I'm taking a look into indicator-datetime
[14:28] <seb128> andyrock, what about it?
[14:28] <andyrock> the building failure
[14:28] <seb128> oSoMoN, I received it this time, thanks
[14:28] <andyrock> seb128: looks like a crash in the tests
[14:29] <seb128> andyrock, k, good, thanks
[14:29] <jdstrand> kenvandine: what's the specific question?
[14:29] <kenvandine> jdstrand, to recap, can we get a specific snap allowed to auto connect to some interfaces?
[14:29] <kenvandine> gnome-system-monitor won't work without system-observe, hardware-observe, process-control
[14:29] <jdstrand> kenvandine: yes... but we've talked about that in general before. what specifically are you wanting?
[14:30] <jdstrand> is this about gnome-24?
[14:30] <kenvandine> jdstrand, no
[14:30] <kenvandine> gnome-system-monitor won't work without system-observe, hardware-observe, process-control
[14:31] <kenvandine> jdstrand, that's another can of worms that i need to get back to :)
[14:31] <jdstrand> kenvandine: ok, so you follow the same process: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/process-for-reviewing-aliases-auto-connections-and-track-requests/455
[14:31] <kenvandine> cool
[14:31] <jdstrand> kenvandine: this time it won't be contentious
[14:31] <kenvandine> :-D
[14:31] <jdstrand> cause this is all standard stuff
[14:31] <kenvandine> great
[14:31] <kenvandine> it's in the review queue now :)
[14:31] <jdstrand> also, wrt gnome-24, it looks like there is an open question for you guys
[14:32] <kenvandine> i'll triple check each interface that's needed to make sure i'm not asking for more than i need
[14:32] <jdstrand> kenvandine: yes, I'll be going through the queue today
[14:32] <kenvandine> jdstrand, yeah, some of which i'm not sure how to answer really
[14:32] <seb128> jdstrand, I don't understand the question
[14:32] <jdstrand> kenvandine: so I'll get the dbus bit done (assuming it is needed), and then there will be the voting process for the others and I'll issue a snap declaration when the vote is tallied
[14:32] <kenvandine> iirc the issue comes down to the fact that our platform snap is really built for ubuntu, not for any base snap
[14:33] <seb128> the solution was to change the name it seems
[14:33] <kenvandine> dbus is needed for all the gnome apps, the gapplication registration stuff
[14:33] <seb128> changing the name sure, why not
[14:33] <seb128> it's not like it fixes any of the concerns though
[14:33] <seb128> or of the potential problems
[14:33] <jdstrand> kenvandine, seb128: I'd rather not be the middle person again. Please talk to niemeyer in #snappy. I'm happy to watch and participate as needed
[14:33] <kenvandine> jdstrand, yeah... understood
[14:34] <seb128> jdstrand, no worry, I'm not interested in continuing that discussion either, you are the one that mentioned it
[14:35] <jdstrand> seb128: well, today things are blocked. niemeyer tried to come up with a procedure that will help guide people today while the proper solution is implemented. that involves a rename. if you don't rename, nothing will move forward in the short term
[14:35] <kenvandine> seb128, well we should respond in some fashion :)
[14:35] <jdstrand> seb128: so I mentioned it here
[14:35] <seb128> k, well if kenvandine  wants to reply no objection from me
[14:36] <kenvandine> i will later today
[14:36] <seb128> that rename is just stupid nitpicking on details
[14:36] <kenvandine> i need to re-read all that, those brain cells have been recycled :)
[14:36] <seb128> while ignoring all the fundamental problems they argued existed
[14:36]  * jdstrand resists being the middle man
[14:36] <seb128> :-)
[14:36] <kenvandine> seb128, i know how you feel... better for me to respond then :)
[14:36] <kenvandine> less friction :-p
[14:37] <seb128> well I'm not going to reply anyway don't worry
[14:37] <GunnarHj> seb128: Hi! We have a loose end wrt default IM framework for CJKV languages.
[14:37] <GunnarHj> https://trello.com/c/NteXn9nA/161-gnome-and-fcitx
[14:37] <GunnarHj> Has a decision (implicitly?) been made to switch to IBus for 17.10?
[14:37] <seb128> it just feels like he's arguing on a non sense rename now to not say that what we were arguing for was fine
[14:38] <seb128> hey GunnarHj, well GNOME integrates with ibus only so I guess it has been decided implicitly by not having anyone coming with a solution working for fcitx
[14:41] <jbicha> GunnarHj: I thought I heard that fcitx doesn't work with Wayland any way?
[14:41] <jbicha> similar problem as onboard
[14:42] <GunnarHj> seb128, jbicha: Well, deeming from the short list discussion, happyaron seems to think that it would be preferable to keep Fcitx. But whichever route we take, there are a couple of small things, such as which packages to seed, to handle. (I heard about the Wayland issue too.)
[14:45] <GunnarHj> seb128: But if the decision is IBus, I thought I'd have a look at the details with the seed and possibly im-config/language-selector.
[14:46] <seb128> GunnarHj, well, if somebody wants to propose a solution for fcitx it's fine, but that didn't happen, so I think we need to go with ibus?
[14:47] <GunnarHj> seb128, jbicha: That's my understanding too.
[14:49] <GunnarHj> seb128, jbicha: I'll get back to you with a related seed MP.
[14:49] <seb128> GunnarHj, thanks
[14:50] <seb128> jbicha, did you see reports about g-c-c 3.25 segfaulting (maybe 3.24) did as well on the hotspot screen? (in libnm)
[14:50] <jbicha> GunnarHj: fcitx was briefly discussed in #gnome-hackers last week with the conclusion that the only reason ibus integration was so good was because GNOME picked just 1 IM framework to support
[14:50] <seb128> typical GNOME comment
[14:51] <seb128> they don't even understand what the problem is/what the people who ask for the other framework want
[14:51] <jbicha> GunnarHj: it feels to me like it's appropriate for fcitx to drop to universe since it's just not something we can support as well now?
[14:52] <jbicha> seb128: g-c-c 3.25.91 still has lots of crashes, some fixes in git master though I haven't tried to cherrypick yet
[14:53] <seb128> jbicha, that one is in libnm and I tried from trunk
[14:53] <jbicha> we'll need to figure out what package should install the connectivity snippet, I thought we might discuss that in the meeting
[14:56] <GunnarHj> jbicha: As regards Fcitx in main: I would vote for keeping it for now. My understanding is that there is a plan to fix a solution for 18.04, and I have a feeling that many Fcitx users will keep using it one way or another. (Also, all the flavors still have Fcitx as default for CJKV, but that fact is irrelevant for main, of course.)
[14:56] <jbicha> wifi hotspot works here without crashing with 3.25.91 from gnome3-staging ppa
[14:57] <seb128> jbicha, if you change panels from wifi to bluetooth/background and back to wifi
[14:58] <jbicha> it's not crashing for me now, but yes there are some crashes when changing panels with 3.25.91
[14:58] <jbicha> I was impressed by how much nicer 3.25.91 was than 3.25.90 though
[15:02] <seb128> how nicer?
[15:02] <seb128> I didn't see a real difference
[15:02] <seb128> but I guess I don't look much a spacing and alignments tweaks
[15:03] <jbicha> the big wi-fi icon on the Network page is gone and horizontal resizing works a lot better now

[15:34] <tseliot> Laney: hey, have you had the chance to review my patch?
[15:34] <seb128> thanks dgadomski
[15:34] <seb128> #topic duflu
[15:34] <Laney> tseliot: no sorry (plus I thought upstream was doing it) (also, let's wait until after the meeting)
[15:34] <seb128> * Totem:
[15:34] <seb128>   - Unexpectedly lost a day trying to fix random totem build failures: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786248
[15:34] <seb128>   - Making great progress profiling totem, but its hotspots vary between different video files and between X vs Wayland.
[15:34] <seb128>   - Now focusing on Totem on Wayland where it spends 50% of its CPU rendering GTK/widgets (even in fullscreen where no widgets are visible).
[15:34] <seb128> * Gnome Shell:
[15:34] <seb128>   - Lost a day testing Gnome Shell 3.25/3.26 and comparing app performance. While performance is good, the improvements don't seem to affect totem's own clutter performance problems. I had hoped they were related...
[15:34] <seb128>   - Lost another day chasing down broken colours in Gnome Shell 3.25/3.26 affecting totem and some other apps; https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=786786
[15:34] <seb128>     . Now fixed, which is good since that pre-emptively unblocks the move to Gnome 3.26
[15:34] <seb128> * Bluez:
[15:34] <seb128>   - Released: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/5.46-0ubuntu2
[15:35] <seb128> * PulseAudio:
[15:35] <seb128>   - Almost released?: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:8.0-0ubuntu3.4
[15:35] <seb128> * Video acceleration:
[15:35] <seb128>   - Public announcement about out-of-box support is still blocked awaiting: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-restricted-addons/+bug/1709166
[15:35] <seb128> * Awaiting sponsorship:

[15:39] <kenvandine> * Built a classic snap for gnome-system-monitor, which I just got working with strict confinement but requires manually
[15:39] <kenvandine>  connecting some interfaces.  This is awaiting review in the store now.
[15:39] <kenvandine>   - I need to create a forum thread to request it be auto-connected to some interfaces
[15:39] <kenvandine> * Built confined eog snap, mostly works and published to edge channel.  Thumbnails aren't working, which I think I've traced down to mimetype query fails.  Looking into a way to fix that.
[15:39] <kenvandine> * Did some testing of theme fixes, thanks Trevinho!  I think I still owe a review on one of them, I'll double check.

[15:45] <seb128> did somebody forced it through?
[15:45] <oSoMoN> I assumed you did :)
[15:46] <seb128> no I didn't, I guess somebody wanted to force poppler in or something
[15:46] <seb128> anyway good for us :-)
[15:46] <jbicha> webkit2gtk will require a newer gcc to build on xenial (for the 2.20 cycle I believe) so I'm interested to see what happens with trusty
[15:46] <seb128> thanks

[15:47] <seb128> tkamppeter, hey
[15:47] <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Added PCLm support from the GSoC student project. Now we have full support for driverless printing with all known standards, especially also on Mopria and Wi-Fi Direct printers. Also improved the handling of reolutions reported by driverless printing, especially to work around firmware bugs. Released cups-filters 1.17.2.
[15:47] <tkamppeter> - CUPS: Reported 2 crash bugs upstream which caused around 20 reports each on errors.ubuntu.com. These bugs got fixed upstream then. Backported the patch to the Debian package of CUPS and synced the package (with additional bug fixes) to Ubuntu.
[15:47] <tkamppeter> - Google Summer of Code 2017: The coding period ended today and the student had to make a final web presentation of their work. Reviewed the presentations of the 7 OpenPrinting students. They will all pass the final evaluation and we will soon work on the upstream integration of the projects (PCLm support I have already integrated, see above).
[15:47] <tkamppeter> - Bugs.
[15:47] <seb128> thanks tkamppeter

[15:48] <seb128> maaarcccoooo
[15:48] <tkamppeter> seb128, sorry, I meant 20 crash reports/day each.
[15:49] <seb128> tkamppeter, no worry, good work in any case :-)
[15:49] <seb128> no Trevinho I guess

[15:49] <seb128> #topic AOB
[15:49] <seb128> did I forget anyone? any other topic?
[15:50] <jbicha> I have some AOB
[15:50] <jbicha> gnome-control-center 3.25.91 blocked on rebasing network-proxy and dock-settings patches
[15:50] <jbicha> GNOME Shell is held up by mozjs52 being broken on armhf
[15:50] <jbicha> One temporary workaround would be to remove gjs 1.49 (and a few rebuilds) from -proposed since gnome-shell 3.25.91 still works with gjs 1.48/mozjs38
[15:51] <seb128> one topic at time
[15:51] <seb128> is the rebasing difficult?
[15:51] <seb128> I can help and look at rebasing the dock settings tomorrow
[15:51] <Trevinho> seb128: sorry, I missed my moment...
[15:51] <jbicha> I looked at rebasing the network-proxy patch but what I came up with crashed :|
[15:51] <Trevinho> Working in mutter, fixing issues with small text in fractional scaling and wallpaper issues
[15:52] <seb128> Trevinho, wait, I come back to your after the aob
[15:52] <Trevinho> ah ok
[15:52] <seb128> jbicha, your patch is in the branch you pushed?
[15:52] <jbicha> not yet but I'll go ahead and push there after meeting
[15:52] <seb128> thanks
[15:52] <seb128> I can help with that tomorrow
[15:52] <seb128> about gjs I didn't try to follow muhc
[15:53] <seb128> Laney do you understand the situations and our options?
[15:53] <seb128> if so does what jbicha suggested makes sense to you?
[15:53] <jbicha> GNOME bug is at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/786578 if you want to read up later
[15:54] <seb128> k
[15:54] <Laney> it's probably ok for now but I think it should be fixed before the release
[15:54] <Laney> we can't be blocked on an old mozjs
[15:54] <seb128> right
[15:54] <seb128> well let me know if you need an archive admin
[15:54] <Laney> yes
[15:54] <seb128> I'm happy to enter commands as needed
[15:54] <Laney> jbicha will presumably tell you what to delete
[15:55] <seb128> k
[15:55] <jbicha> ok
[15:55] <seb128> that seems on track then
[15:55] <seb128> jbicha, did you want to discuss the connectivity changes as well?
[15:55] <jbicha> What should pull in the connectivity package? LP: #997200
[15:55] <Laney> seed it?
[15:55] <jbicha> I am proposing we add it to the desktop-common seed
[15:55] <jbicha> as a Depends
[15:56] <seb128> why depends and not recommends?
[15:56] <jbicha> it provides the URL that is needed for gnome-control-center's Privacy settings to work
[15:56] <seb128> (unsure why I ask since I don't have a strong opinion either way)
[15:56] <seb128> k
[15:56] <Laney> wait
[15:56] <Laney> work in what way?
[15:56]  * seb128 waits
[15:57] <jbicha> it can be disabled with a simple 2-line /etc file if someone doesn't run gnome-control-center
[15:57] <jbicha> Captive Portal needs a URL to work so I think if there is no URL configured, g-c-c will lie and say it's turned on?
[15:58] <Laney> umm
[15:58] <Laney> I think g-c-c should rather hide the row in that case
[15:58] <jbicha> why would we want someone to not have the URL pre-configured?
[15:59] <Laney> it sounds like your rationale is to work around a bug in the control-center
[15:59] <jbicha> we could make a separate package with that 2-line snippet to disable if that would make people feel better
[16:00] <jbicha> is desktop-common the right place for at least a recommends?
[16:01] <Laney> probably the same place network-manager is seeded
[16:02] <seb128> wfm
[16:03] <jbicha> I think NM is seeded individually in all the desktop flavors
[16:04] <jbicha> lubuntu-next briefly switched to some other networking stack this cycle but it broke so they are back on NM
[16:05] <jbicha> the snippet doesn't hurt anything if NM isn't installed
[16:05] <seb128> I don't have any opinion either way
[16:05] <seb128> maybe you and Laney decide after the meeting
[16:05] <seb128> I don't think we need to discuss it more in the meeting?
[16:05] <jbicha> ok, we can talk more later
[16:05] <seb128> thanks
[16:05] <seb128> any other topic?
[16:05] <jbicha> how about dropping onboard from the default install?
[16:06] <seb128> +1
[16:06] <seb128> it doesn't work with wayland
[16:06] <seb128> maybe we get it back next cycle
[16:07] <jbicha> and my final AOB is just pinging about our outstanding MIRs
[16:07] <seb128> it's a bit tricky to get mir reviuew cycle; I will see if I can buy somebody some beers to help
[16:08] <seb128> thanks again for filling those!
[16:08] <jbicha> ok, that's it for me, thanks for your patience
[16:08] <Trevinho> seb128: can I go now?
[16:08] <seb128> np, thanks for pushing us forward

[16:09] <seb128> thanks Trevinho
[16:09] <seb128> no worry
[16:09] <seb128> is transmission supposed to work with the appindicator extension?
[16:09] <seb128> seems not here when I tried
[16:09] <jbicha> Trevinho: why is fractional scaling hidden behind an experimental gsettings value?
[16:09] <Trevinho> seb128: yep, once you enable the setting
[16:09] <Trevinho> jbicha: cause there are some issues we're still fixing
[16:10] <seb128> I tried to enable the setting, going to try again later
[16:10] <seb128> thanks Trevinho
[16:10] <Trevinho> jbicha: such as gnome shell thing being blurry as not properly rendered
[16:10] <seb128> and I think on that note it's a wrap
[16:10] <seb128> thanks everyone
[16:10] <seb128> #endmeeting
[16:10] <meetingology> Meeting ended Tue Aug 29 16:10:19 2017 UTC.
[16:10] <meetingology> Minutes:        http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-desktop/2017/ubuntu-desktop.2017-08-29-15.30.moin.txt
[16:10] <jbicha> Trevinho: do you know how likely it is for that to be enabled by default for 3.26? if not, does it make sense for Ubuntu 17.10 to enable it?
[16:10] <Trevinho> we can backport the fixes if we want and enable it later
[16:10] <Trevinho> jbicha: we wanted to, but I've been a little slow in some things as I had other things to cover too....
[16:11] <Trevinho> so, we can try to backport the changes in case
[16:11] <Trevinho> and not enabling by default, but enabling it early next cycle
[16:11] <jbicha> ok
[16:11] <Trevinho> even before moving to the final gnome version we want for the LTS
[16:12] <Trevinho> cool
[16:14] <jbicha> seb128: removal list: gjs, gnome-sushi, gnome-weather
[16:21] <Laney> jbicha: ok, I just removed config-connectivity-{debian,ubuntu} and the row is hidden as I would expect
[16:21] <Laney> so imho seed it alongside network-manager and let each flavour decide if they want it
[16:21] <Laney> in checking that I noticed that we seed nm-gnome; is that right or should it be nm?
[16:25] <seb128> jbicha, k
[16:26] <jbicha> I'll do some more checking on nm-gnome; Debian & Ubuntu GNOME still pulls it in but maybe g-c-c doesn't need it any more
[16:28] <jbicha> that's interesting that Ubuntu Desktop only ends up recommending NM, Ubuntu GNOME had a Depends on NM
[16:58] <jbicha> oh, g-c-c depends on nm-gnome which depends on nm
[17:09] <jbicha> seb128: g-c-c 3.25 still has a few places it tries to run nm-connection-editor
[17:10] <jbicha> we could still change the seed from nm-gnome to nm and just let g-c-c take care of its dependency
[18:16] <dobey> seb128, Trevinho: you can land that if you want i guess, but i would expect that stuff to drop into universe for 17.10, and then out of archive by 18.04
[18:46] <amano> Cairo 1.15.8 is out with emoji support. Maybe something to consider. The last missing part would be a color emoji font. Low hanging fruit?
[18:47] <jbicha> amano: we also need an unreleased fontconfig
[18:48] <jbicha> but the 2 parts you mentioned aren't "low hanging fruit"
[18:48] <jbicha> cairo 1.15 is the dev branch and would definitely need a Feature Freeze Exception
[18:49] <jbicha> *it would need a FFe if we were going to consider it
[18:50] <jbicha> it's a good goal for 18.04
[18:50] <amano> Np ;)
[19:42] <seb128> jbicha, I'm not sure to understand your comment from earlier, you consider nm-connection-editor as deprecated?
[19:44] <jbicha> seb128: g-c-c still needs nm-connection-editor which is provided by nm-gnome
[19:44] <seb128> ok
[20:34] <ahasenack> hi guys, I was looking at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nmap/+bug/1713274
[20:35] <ahasenack> basically the desktop file for zenmap calls su-to-root, which is in the menu package, but there is no dependency on said package
[20:35] <ahasenack> I was just wondering if there are other implications in installing the "menu" package in a desktop nowadays
[20:35] <ahasenack> considering gnome-shell specifically, in artful
[20:46]  * ahasenack finds the big list at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nmap/+bug/1713311

[10:10] <LocutusOfBorg> hello, is this builder dead? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ayatana-indicator-messages/23.10.0-1/+build/27773568

[10:11] <LocutusOfBorg> the build looks stuck, not sure if I have to delete and restart, and if this can help
[10:46] <guruprasad> LocutusOfBorg, it looks like the build could be stuck. If you see an option in that page to cancel the build, can you do that and retry it?
