 15:30 <seb128> hey

 15:30 <didrocks> mterry: let me have a look after the meeting (I only tried the tests in a sbuild), what kenvandine did I guess

 15:30 <mterry> So kenvandine isn't actually crazy  ;)

 15:31 <didrocks> mterry: that doesn't imply he isn't :p

 15:31 * mterry shuts up

 15:31 <kenvandine> but the tests really fail :)

 15:31 <Trevinho> hey

 15:31 <desrt> /o\

 15:31 <dgadomski> hey

 15:31 <desrt> (body scanner pose)

 15:31 <willcooke> :D

 15:32 <hikiko> willcooke, I was about to leave sorry! I emailed you a minute ago I hope you see it!!

 15:32 <willcooke> hikiko, got it - nw

 15:32 <hikiko> bye people!!

 15:32 <willcooke> hikiko,  I can copy & paste

 15:32 <willcooke> cya hikiko

 15:32 <larsu> hey

 15:33 <willcooke> lets get started..

 15:33 <willcooke> #topic andyrock

 15:33 <andyrock> hey all

 15:33 <andyrock> I'm working on the redrawing/damaging issue with unity+nux+compiz

 15:33 <andyrock> i discovered that it's not just about the cursor

 15:34 <andyrock> but that're other cases where we basically redraw randomly

 15:34 <andyrock> like if you open once the shortcut overlay we redraw the shortcut overlay even if it's hidden

 15:34 <andyrock> that's a shame

 15:35 <andyrock> I've already a fix for that (I'll propose it later today)

 15:35 <andyrock> right now I'm working on the cursor redraw issue and more in general trying to understand what's going on when the dash and the hud are open

 15:36 <andyrock> we redraw for no reason and that's can cause slowness

 15:36 <andyrock> and also reviews

 15:36 <andyrock> \eof

 15:36 <willcooke> thanks andyrock

 15:36 <willcooke> andyrock, how are you set for a quick review tomorrow at 10am UTC?

 15:37 <andyrock> I've class but should not be a problem

 15:37 <seb128> andyrock, nice to see work on those redraw issue!

 15:37 <willcooke> andyrock thanks

 15:37 <willcooke> #topic attente

 15:37 <andyrock> seb128 I can't promise to fix them all but I'll try :D

 15:38 <attente> hi guys

 15:38 <attente> debugged/fixed some broken maliit-framework tests

 15:38 <attente> suppress some unused parameter warnings in gdbus-codegen output, filed upstream

 15:38 <attente> packaged maliit-framework and maliit-inputcontext-gtk (<- needs sponsoring), fixed up packaging branch which was out-of-date

 15:38 <attente> want to move QT_IM_MODULE out of livecd-rootfs and into somewhere else, but not really sure where it should go to have it set under u8

 15:38 <attente> updated java non-latin shortcuts ppa for bug #1226962, might try to merge it despite it not being perfect

 15:38 <ubot5> bug 1226962 in unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1226962

 15:38 <attente> starting working on gtk single-surface

 15:38 <attente> (eof)

 15:38 <willcooke> thanks attente

 15:39 <willcooke> good comments on that bug, looks great

 15:39 <willcooke> thanks

 15:40 <willcooke> #topic desrt

 15:40 <desrt> hi

 15:40 <desrt> continue work on inotify stuff, looks pretty good now

 15:40 <desrt> helping xclaesse with the dconf confinement stuff

 15:40 <desrt> bugs/reviews

 15:40 <desrt> and starting on a glib release for today

 15:40 <desrt> eof

 15:40 <willcooke> good stuff, thanks desrt

 15:40 <seb128> \o/

 15:40 <xclaesse> :)

 15:40 <seb128> it means we are going to stop receiving reports about that nautilus/trash segfault

 15:41 <desrt> hi xclaesse :)

 15:41 * seb128 just commented on yet another report

 15:41 <desrt> there's a nautilus/trash segfault again? :(

 15:41 <desrt> can you link me?

 15:41 <seb128> the one I sent a patch for

 15:41 <desrt> probably we want to fix this in stable and not have to wait for unstable

 15:41 <seb128> you didn't do a release since

 15:41 <desrt> oh

 15:41 <desrt> about the release

 15:41 <desrt> gotcha :)

 15:41 <seb128> yeah

 15:41 <seb128> :-)

 15:42 <willcooke> #topic dgadomski

 15:42 <dgadomski> hey, unfortunately I haven't done much in the desktop area this week

 15:42 <willcooke> thanks dgadomski!

 15:42 <dgadomski> thanks seb128 :)

 15:43 <willcooke> #topic didrocks

 15:43 <didrocks> Ubuntu Make:

 15:43 <didrocks> - Reviewed and merged CLion work by a new contributor \o/

 15:43 <didrocks> - Added medium and large tests to it

 15:43 <didrocks> - Cut the large tests time by half while adding even more tests \o/ (jenkins + tests enhancements)

 15:43 <didrocks> - Move build dependencies only needed for tests to another ppa (ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make-builddeps) and add it in jenkins tests. This way, people using Ubuntu Make on older release are not impacted by the need of newer version of tests frameworks like pexpect and won't install them. Hook that ppa in Travis CI, our jenkins infra and refresh contributor intro to ask adding that ppa for testing.

 15:43 <didrocks> - Add ZSH completion

 15:43 <didrocks> - Fight some jenkins specific + proxy issues while learning more about some os.environ black magic (thanks pitti, even some python god I knew weren't aware about that :p)

 15:43 <didrocks> - Fix Visual Studio Code which changed its icon path (detected through our testsuite)

 15:43 <didrocks> - Misc fixes and enhancements for i18n, test standardization and jenkins branch build support (mostly described in https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-make/commit/1469477890a10eba2b17d74d461c22567c24838c and incoming blog post)

 15:43 <didrocks> Misc:

 15:43 <didrocks> - Help Laney on and appstream-dep11 fixing some issues when running in virtualenv

 15:43 <didrocks> - MIR ptyprocess to unblock pexpect 4.0 (which was build-dep wait)

 15:43 <didrocks> - Small britney wording consistency work )<-- this extra parenthesis is dedicated to Laney <3

 15:43 <didrocks> - Worked and gather topics and bug reports for Google Code-in students.

 15:43 <didrocks> .

 15:43 <willcooke> another new contributor :D

 15:44 <willcooke> thanks for you work on the Code In project too

 15:44 <didrocks> yep \o/

 15:44 <didrocks> yw

 15:48 <larsu> - nautilus menubar (coming seb128, sorry)

 15:48 <larsu> err... I think there's more

 15:48 <larsu> ah right, the gnome-logs guy asked me to help out with automatically updating the ui when new log messages come in

 15:49 <seb128> what's the xsetting thing about?

 15:49 <larsu> and some internal gdbus issues

 15:49 <larsu> seb128: don't get correct font size when logging in, sometimes

 15:49 <larsu> really annoying

 15:49 <seb128> hum, k

 15:49 <seb128> I never noticed

 15:49 <larsu> I've had it a couple of times now, but not every time

 15:49 <larsu> couldn't find anything that could be causing this though :(

 15:50 <seb128> :-(

 15:50 <seb128> and speaking about gnome-logs ... we said we wanted to install it by default right?

 15:50 <larsu> yes

 15:50 <larsu> I have that on my todo for a but later but helped out since I was pinged anyway

 15:50 <seb128> great

 15:50 <larsu> I think it's </larsu>

 15:51 <seb128> we should stop bothering you with bugs and have a look to gnome-logs and geonames

 15:51 <larsu> :)

 15:51 <seb128> before eoy, so we get new components in

 15:51 <willcooke> thanks larsu

 15:51 <seb128> then we can go back to bugs

 15:51 <larsu> seb128: makes sense. lts and all

 15:51 <seb128> right

 15:51 <willcooke> yeah, good plan

 15:51 <Laney> well I tried assigning them instead of pinging ;-)

 15:51 <seb128> willcooke, sorry for interrupting with questions and comment

 15:51 <willcooke> :) no worries, good time to comment I think

 15:52 <seb128> Laney, yeah, that's probably smarter ;-)

 15:52 <willcooke> #topic qengho

 15:52 <qengho> * found bug that makes new chromium complain. proposed xdg-utils update that fixes it. gave chromium to #security to upload.

 15:52 <qengho> * working on chromium/ozone/mir this week.

 15:52 <qengho> * require more information about Laney's crunch creams. furiously envious.

 15:52 <qengho> * updating snappy packager scripts.

 15:52 <qengho> EOF

 15:52 <willcooke> thanks qengho

 15:53 <willcooke> did you get to the bottom of why hyperlinks from other apps are broken?  Is that the xdg-utils thing?

 15:53 <qengho> willcooke: right. xdg-mime bug.

 15:53 <willcooke> cool

 15:53 <willcooke> #topic seb128

 15:53 <seb128> kenvandine is patch piloting today so maybe he can review xdg-utils merge/update

 15:54 <seb128> otherwise didrocks has a shift on friday

 15:54 <seb128> oh

 15:54 <seb128> hey ;-)

 15:54 <seb128> • debugged u-s-d segfault due to a gsettings schemas key dropped from g-s-d

 15:54 <seb128> • uploaded gnome-control-center move of user icons data to u-c-c, allowing demoting the source to universe

 15:54 <seb128> • fixed small gedit document title regression

 15:54 <seb128> • looked at some langpack translations regression on the ota8 touch candidate

 15:54 <seb128> • discussed indicator-sound/notify-osd regression, helped to test and land the fix from Lars (thanks!)

 15:54 <seb128> • reported some bugs+code changes to make some phone dialogs more consistent

 15:54 <seb128> • libmobiledevice transition

 15:54 <seb128> • looked at the vino update, decided there was too much to revert (they dropped the standalone dialogs) and that it was easier to keep ours and backport some bugfixes, did that

 15:54 <seb128> • spending a bit of time every day to review/triage incoming bugs/errors and help with ongoing britney issues and transitions

 15:54 <seb128> • looked at/fixed some gedit theming issues (just got a patch commited upstream)

 15:54 <seb128> • continued a bit on the nautilus 3.18 update, not an easy update and still quite some work needed

 15:54 <seb128> • spend some time looking at if backporting the upstream g-s-d wacom work to u-s-d was possible, it's a bit work and unsure it's worth the effort

 15:54 <seb128> • started backporting new g-s-d upstream "tz plugin" to u-s-d (to update your tz/notify you that you are in a different tz when travelling), I think I got the changes right but I'm unsure how to test and if we want it (note that it also means installing the new geoclue service)

 15:54 <seb128> </week>

 15:54 <seb128> (sorry, busy week ;-)

 15:55 <willcooke> thanks serb

 15:58 <tkamppeter> - Ghostscript: Checked status of MIRs for syncing with Debian: openjpeg still missing (but now chances are higher that it gets into Main as Poppler needs it, too).

 15:58 <tkamppeter> - Set up a Xenial virtual machine (Used "devel" as distro name in sources.list to automatically always use current devel branch).

 15:58 <seb128> somebody should offer Sweet5hark1 an alarm reminder device

 16:02 <seb128> i've that on my list but didn't do it yet :-/

 16:02 <Laney> no but could do

 16:03 <seb128> I'm going to look at the e-d-s integration bit

 16:03 <seb128> we need that for our $solution

 16:03 <seb128> willcooke, did you try/look at both?

 16:03 <Laney> you mean the thunderbird one?

 16:04 <willcooke> seb128, I haven't looked at either

 16:04 * willcooke adds it to his list

 16:04 * didrocks just tried it

 16:04 <didrocks> remember that I added some easy task for google-code-in

 16:05 <didrocks> don't jump on them before we are sure nobody will work on it :)

 16:05 <didrocks> (like changing default color, and so on)

 16:05 <seb128> right

 16:05 <Laney> where is this list?
