[02:14] <callmepk> good morning
[03:34] <duflu> Morning callmepk
[03:34] <callmepk> morning duflu
[04:42] <KGB-1> gnome-control-center ubuntu/master Marco Trevisan * [open] merge request !19: ubuntu panel and display: Monitor and fractional scaling fixes * https://deb.li/3mlwF
[04:53] <duflu> Awesome Trevinho
[04:54] * duflu wonders if it's late night or early morning
[05:02] <Trevinho> duflu: well both :D
[05:34] <didrocks> good morning
=== cpaelzer__ is now known as cpaelzer
[06:04] <duflu> Hi didrocks and seb128
[06:07] <didrocks> hey duflu
[06:08] <oSoMoN> good morning desktoppers
[06:09] <duflu> Hi oSoMoN
[06:23] <didrocks> salut oSoMoN
[06:23] <seb128> hey duflu, lut oSoMoN, didrocks, how are you doing today?
[06:23] <duflu> seb128, OK. Slightly less overwhelmed than yesterday but still keen on a weekend, and maybe a week off some time soon. Not sure... How are you?
[06:28] <seb128> I'm alright but days are buuusy and I struggle to do what I want, my todolist goes in the wrong direction as a result :/
[06:28] <seb128> (and I'm on +1 maintainance today so probably going to get even more behind)
[06:29] <seb128> what are you working on atm?
[06:29] <duflu> seb128, now going deep into why 4K performance is poor (and CPU usage is low at the same time)
[06:29] <duflu> which is a general performance problem for everyone. Only I can see it better now
[06:31] <duflu> Close to my heart, because without a fix I would have to upgrade my desktops
[06:36] <didrocks> good good :)
[06:38] <seb128> duflu, good luck figuring it out!
[06:40] <duflu> It's interesting. I don't remember ever having exhausted all CPU problems and being left with only GPU bottlenecks. Not since university at least
[06:40] <duflu> Though technically we didn't have GPUs back then. They were only graphics cards
[06:44] <oSoMoN> hey duflu
[06:44] <oSoMoN> salut didrocks, seb128
[07:47] <didrocks> fixing cryptsetup FTBFS which is in proposed for a week :/
[07:47] <didrocks> seems the proper install was only done for risc
[07:48] <didrocks> weird, the .install list the missing files: scripts/cryptsetup.conf /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/
[07:48] <didrocks> and it’s not arch-specific
[07:54] <didrocks> dh_missing: warning: usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/cryptsetup.conf exists in debian/tmp but is not installed to anywhere
[07:54] <didrocks> didrocks@casanier:/tmp/cryptsetup-2.3.3$ find . -name cryptsetup.conf
[07:55] <didrocks> ./debian/cryptsetup-bin/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/cryptsetup.conf
[07:55] <didrocks> ./debian/tmp/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/cryptsetup.conf
[07:55] <didrocks> O_o oh dh_missing, what are you doing to us
[07:55] <didrocks> (and no diff in the file)
[07:59] <didrocks> ok, dh_missing is basing now on helper by the various tools
[07:59] <didrocks> not a diff itself
[08:00] <didrocks> and in debian/.debhelper/generated/cryptsetup-bin/installed-by-dh_install, dh_install is using the original file path
[08:00] <didrocks> not the one moved in the .install
[08:02] <Laney> \O\ |O| /O/
[08:06] <didrocks> hey Laney
[08:07] <Laney> greetings didrocks
[08:07] <Laney> having fun?
[08:07] <didrocks> yeah, didn’t know dh_missing changed behavior that way
[08:10] <seb128> hey Laney, how are you?
[08:10] <didrocks> changing to usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/cryptsetup.conf works and now builds on all arch (which are not risc :p)
[08:14] <Laney> moin seb128
[08:14] <Laney> i'm good, enjoying watching the rain
[08:14] <Laney> you?
[08:15] <Laney> thanks for looking at the team report thing
[08:15] <Laney> I changed that url to be compressed yesterday
[08:15] <seb128> Laney, I'm alright thanks!
[08:17] <seb128> Laney, np for the team report, now I need to try to understand the report changes, is the format of that file documented somewhere btw?
[08:18] <Laney> no
[08:20] <Laney> presumably the problem with update-excuse bugs is that now the yaml contains the verdict (PASS) for those and the code doesn't expect that
[08:21] <Laney> https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-release/britney/+git/britney2-ubuntu/tree/britney2/policies/lpexcusebugs.py?h=ubuntu/rebased#n73
[08:23] <seb128> right, the problem is https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/ubuntu-archive-scripts/trunk/view/head:/generate-team-p-m#L260
[08:23] <Laney> would it be better if that actually put the bugs in a named entry?
[08:23] <Laney> so it was like
[08:23] <Laney> update-excuse:
[08:23] <seb128> it expect item['policy_info']['autopkgtest'] to include a package name
[08:23] <Laney> bugs: [...]
[08:23] <Laney> verdict: PASS
[08:23] <seb128> ah, you are speaking about the bug problem there, sorry, I was on the exception one
[08:24] <Laney> ah
[08:24] <seb128> I didn't look at the bug problem yet, just saw it on the page generated when I did skip over the exception problem
[08:26] <Laney> hmm I don't see the problem with autopkgtest, it looks the same to me
[08:27] <Laney> well it also has the verdict too
[08:31] * Laney asks upstream about that, feels more sensible to fix the structure of the yaml to me
[08:31] <Laney> autopkgtest:
[08:31] <Laney> policy_results:
[08:31] <Laney> foo/1: ...
[08:31] <Laney> verdict: PASS
[08:31] <Laney> or something
[08:43] <marcustomlinson> oh, logged in and forgot to say hi
[08:43] <marcustomlinson> morning desktoppers
[08:44] <didrocks> hey marcustomlinson
[08:46] <seb128> Laney, not always, see l12248 from your yaml
[08:46] <seb128> autopkgtest:
[08:46] <seb128> verdict: REJECTED_TEMPORARILY
[08:46] <seb128> block:
[08:46] <seb128> the old file didn't have instances with no package listed
[08:47] <seb128> hey marcustomlinson, how are you?
[08:48] <marcustomlinson> hey didrocks and seb128, doing alright thanks, you?
[08:49] <seb128> marcustomlinson, I'm alright, a bit tired but coffee solved part of it :)
[08:49] <marcustomlinson> I feel you
[08:50] <didrocks> marcustomlinson: good good, thx :)
[08:52] <Laney> seb128: what about it?
[08:53] <Laney> moin marcustomlinson
[08:53] <seb128> Laney, that autopkgtest section has 0 package entry, is that legit?
[08:53] <seb128> as said there is no case of this happening before your rebase
[08:55] <Laney> I'm just trying to check what you're saying
[08:55] <seb128> Laney, sorry, I might be not clear, the by-team report fails on
[08:55] <seb128> for package, results in sorted(item['policy_info']['autopkgtest'].items()):
[08:56] <seb128> basically it expect the policy_info/autopkgtest sections to have a least a package/result combo
[08:56] <Laney> there are cases of that, it's just that they were actually empty rather than having a verdict only
[08:56] <seb128> ah
[08:56] <seb128> k, so I just need to teach the code to deal with having a verdict only
[08:56] <marcustomlinson> morgen Laney
[08:56] <seb128> thx, I didn't notice that there were empty section, those files are big and a bit tricky to navigate
[08:57] <Laney> np
[08:57] <Laney> if upstream agrees I'll change that to be better
[08:57] <Laney> so this might not be the final final structure
[08:57] <seb128> Laney, I just found another issue
[08:57] <seb128> Laney, https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/laney/proposed-migration/update_excuses.html#dovecot
[08:58] <seb128> missing build on all: mail-stack-delivery (from 1:2.3.7.2-1ubuntu4)
[08:58] <seb128> arch:all not built yet, autopkgtest delayed
[08:58] <seb128> where the current report has
[08:58] <seb128> missing build on i386: mail-stack-delivery (from 1:2.3.7.2-1ubuntu4)
[08:58] <seb128> Not considered
[08:58] <seb128>
[08:58] <seb128> we don't have "arch all' builds in Ubuntu
[08:58] <seb128> so the new summary is more confusing imho
[08:59] <Laney> fair
[08:59] <seb128> also let me know if IRC comments are not the best way to give the feedback, maybe it's easier to track by replies on the list
[09:00] <seb128> or bug reports?
[09:00] <Laney> this is ok for now
[09:01] <seb128> k
[09:01] <Laney> bug reports once it's live
[09:01] <seb128> ah, now it does trigger tests on archs that built even if one is failing
[09:01] <seb128> that's nice :)
[09:01] <seb128> (though probably waste some resources if the build is failing and the item is never going to be candidate)
[09:21] <didrocks> seriously https://launchpadlibrarian.net/484788335/buildlog_ubuntu-groovy-riscv64.cryptsetup_2%3A2.3.3-1ubuntu2_BUILDING.txt.gz
[09:21] <didrocks> so the file is installed everywhere, but risk
[09:21] <didrocks> risc*
[09:31] <Laney> O_O
[09:33] <didrocks> that explained why it built on risc previously and why the hack was done just to build there
[09:40] <Laney> didrocks: at a quick glance: missing build-dep on systemd / passing of --with-tmpfilesdir=/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/?
[09:42] <didrocks> Laney: it seems that Steeve chose the option to directly copy from source, so to minimize his diff, I will do this conditionally before dh_install on riscv
[09:43] <Laney> I think it's weird to be implementing a solution just because systemd randomly isn't installed on that arch
[09:44] <Laney> Passing the configure flag would bypass that requirement
[09:47] <didrocks> Laney: yeah, I agree, I wanted to minimize the diff, but if we have risc machine I can access by pushing on a ppa, I’m fine trying this ^
[09:49] <didrocks> I find it sad this package to be blocked in proposed for a week, only building on one arch, blocking our encryption work because it’s not a priority to fix it apparently
[09:50] <Laney> didrocks: BI LE TOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[09:51] <Laney> yeah that is a bit sad
[09:51] <didrocks> I need to find how it works without a branch
[09:51] <didrocks> yeah, giving the work to fix to other people
[09:51] <Laney> bileto?
[09:51] <Laney> 'build', get a ppa, then you can dput to it
[09:52] <didrocks> let’s give it a try
[09:55] <Laney> it's like god coming back to the civilisation he created many generations later
[09:55] <Laney> 'you did WHAT?'
[09:55] * Laney strokes the spreadsheet
[09:55] <didrocks> heh :)
[09:55] <didrocks> uploaded, let’s see
[10:49] <seb128> Laney, btw are the autopkgtest discussions happening on an IRC channel (asking so I could join and keep en eye on those :)
[10:50] <Laney> seb128: in ubuntu-release if there are any, or on the trello board https://trello.com/b/tjbSeNWo/autopkgtest, or sometimes the Launchpad project https://launchpad.net/auto-package-testing/
[11:05] <duflu> Belated good morning to Laney and anyone else I missed
[11:05] <duflu> And good nigh
[11:06] <duflu> t
[11:06] <duflu> Oops. It's not even morning there. Yeah I am late for dinner
[11:08] <Laney> heh
[11:23] <seb128> Laney, I meant the upstream discussions you mentioned
[11:24] <Laney> oh
[11:24] <Laney> #debian-release
[11:24] <Laney> or sometimes #debci

[13:56] <xnox> Laney: did you have time to look into ubiquity subtree/squash/submodules? i feel like merging subtree version, and just rolling with it.
[13:57] <xnox> Laney: if it becomes tricky, we can rewrite history and do something else later.
[13:57] <Laney> xnox: will do in a minute, subtree not the others
[13:57] <Laney> unless subtree is total shit but I'm sure it's not
[13:58] <xnox> Laney: ack.
[13:58] <xnox> Laney: clone it, build it, check git log -p in a d-i/sources/$project, check git log -p from top level, check gitk => it should give you a good feel of what it feels like.
[13:59] <xnox> (especially what the history looks like)
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g_
=== alan_g_ is now known as alan_g
[15:55] <Laney> xnox: sorry, meetinghs, looking now!
[16:04] <Laney> xnox: are you imagining people just commit to the d-i stuff in there or what?
[16:05] <xnox> Laney: they can, but they don't have to.
[16:06] <xnox> Laney: i.e. when merging from debian it might be easier to do it from lp:$project into lp:~ubuntu-installer/$project, and then subtree pull from lp:~ubuntu-installer/$project
[16:06] <Laney> right
[16:06] <xnox> Laney: but when patching in new ubuntu delta => it can be easier to do "commit d-i add foo api", "commit ubiquity use foo api"
[16:06] <xnox> Laney: in that case a merge proposal will modify things inline.
[16:07] <Laney> only easier up until the next merge from debian
[16:07] <xnox> that
[16:07] <Laney> on the other hand if you could do the merge right in there ...
[16:07] <xnox> but i also worry that salsa will move to tango, lp git <-> git salsa mirrors stop working, and we loose history.
[16:07] <xnox> Laney: so merging right there should work.
[16:07] <xnox> Laney: from top level of ubiqutiy $ git pull salsa:partman-base => should do the right thing
[16:08] <xnox> but i'm not sure if "rebase" will work.
[16:08] <Laney> might be good to write some quick recipes in debian/readme.how-to-work-this-thing
[16:08] <xnox> (git will realise that all of the partman-base is now under d-i/source/partman-base and merge things into there.
[16:08] <xnox> )
[16:08] <xnox> Laney: well ideally, we would have had the new installer by now right =)
[16:09] <xnox> more readmes yes => but i was hoping to right them, as I go along and figure out the ropes of things.
[16:09] <Laney> you might say that
[16:09] <Laney> ok
[16:09] <Laney> make an empty one that says 'if you do a new thing, write it in here, so that the next person can copy what you did'
[16:09] <xnox> ack
[16:09] <Laney> the history of this is super weird
[16:10] <Laney> like git-ubuntu stuff and upstream stuff
[16:10] <xnox> yeah
[16:10] <xnox> cause we have some "ubuntu-only" projects, and i had to take something for them.
[16:10] <Laney> git-ubuntu is like the 'delta' I guess
[16:10] <xnox> unless you want to kill wubi support => because i think the partman-loop is the weird one.
[16:11] <xnox> yeah, i mostly took d-i upstream git repo, upto the current merge-base with ubuntu, and slapped a single commit of ubuntu delta on top of that, and then subtree merge that
[16:12] <Laney> d/rules update can go no?
[16:12] <xnox> it still generates debian/control B-D from d-i/sources/*/debian/control
[16:12] <Laney> well the get-sources stuff
[16:12] <xnox> (ie. see https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-installer/partman-base/log/ )
[16:12] <xnox> Laney: it's a no-op
[16:13] <xnox> i think i did patch the script that tries to update => but it does regenerate debian/control each time.
[16:13] <xnox> in some ways git submodules is easier to understand, cause it says that path over there is git repo lp:~ubuntu-installer/$project => go edit that.
[16:14] <xnox> but then it's submodules, and 20 repos.
[16:17] <Laney> right, neither way is perfect
[16:17] <Laney> pyflakes test fails btw :>
[16:22] <xnox> Yeah fixed in master
[16:23] <Laney> merge ittttt
[16:29] <abeato> kenvandine, hey, maybe you know, how can you set wayland as the default for a user in the greeter? so it is set on first boot?
[16:31] <kenvandine> not sure about as the default
[16:31] <kenvandine> abeato: you just need to select the wayland session for the user in gdm
[16:31] <kenvandine> abeato: and it'll remember that until you change it again
[16:32] <kenvandine> at first boot is probably a session file
[16:41] <abeato> kenvandine, right, but this is for a project where they want auto-login, so I actually need to know to do this by changing a config file
[16:42] <didrocks> Laney: oh btw, your suggestion for cryptsetup works very well, thanks!
[16:42] <abeato> kenvandine, but I do not know where
[16:42] <Laney> 😘
[16:42] <kenvandine> abeato: Laney probably knows
[16:51] <Laney> afaik gdm calculates the default session by itself, i don't know how to overrride it (if ou can)
[16:59] <xnox> Laney: "merge ittttt" just the pyflakes fixes into submodules/subtree/squash, or do you mean switching to subtrees?
[17:05] <Laney> xnox: I just approved the MP (but with a comment about documentation)
[17:05] <Laney> now I'm off until Monday, have fun burning it down
[17:05] <Laney> o/
