15:34 <seb128> let's discuss that after the meeting
15:34 <attente> hi, was at the snappy sprint last week
15:34 <attente> looked into how to add featured snaps to the overview shell of gnome-software
15:34 <attente> debugging some theming issues and menus in snaps for qt applications
15:35 <attente> looked into https://bugs.launchpad.net/snappy/+bug/1580740, did a proof of concept fix with didrocks
15:35 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1580740 in Snappy "Cannot open a browser link from a snap that provides a link" [High,Triaged]
15:35 <attente> uploaded gnome-software rebased to 3.20.2 to a ppa, could use a lot of testing: https://launchpad.net/~attente/+archive/ubuntu/gnome-software
15:35 <attente> (eof)
15:35 <willcooke> thanks attente
15:35 <willcooke> welcome back home :)
15:35 <attente> thanks :)
15:35 <willcooke> #topic desrt
15:35 <seb128> attente, hey, wb! hope it was a good week, glad you made it back ;-)
15:35 <desrt> o hai!
15:35 <attente> seb128: lol
15:36 <desrt> having a pretty interesting week.  got caught up on some glib reviewing last week, and this week i'm being pulled into a couple of new and interesting directions
15:36 <desrt> going to look at the possibility of using jhbuild to get more up-to-date versions of apps into snaps, while at the same time resolving all of the hardcoded-path issues that we keep running in to based on using .debs
15:37 <desrt> also had a really interesting conversation with alex just now about dconf in confined apps... have a clearer sense of direction now
15:37 <desrt> and for the rest of today i'm probably helping pitti make a much more complicated patch than he needs to for upower
15:37 <desrt> eof.
15:37 <willcooke> thanks desrt
15:37 <willcooke> did you ever make headway with that bug btw?
15:38 <willcooke> #topic dgadomski

15:38 <dgadomski> * more Samba debugging - turned out that 2 more users hit bug 1576109 - fortunately there already was a fix to that in a ppa

15:39 <happyaron> eof
15:39 <willcooke> thanks happyaron
15:39 <willcooke> #topic hikiko
15:39 <hikiko> hello
15:39 <hikiko> - working on this nasty bug in multimonitor: if we have two outputs o1 and o2, when the rendering is done in o2 and the components of o2 are scaled, some parts of the o1 appear in both outputs (eg o1's panel appears without artifacts in o1 but a part of it reappears scaled in o2). This indicates that there's either a problem in our 2D clipping (parts of o1 that should be clipped still appear and follow the o2 transformations) or that for some
15:39 <hikiko> reason we render in all outputs when we should only render in one. (what happens at the end is that compiz renders things per output but nux renders things in the whole screen).
15:39 <hikiko> - fixes in ezoom damage, +added signals to damage components only when there's a change in zoom transform
15:39 <hikiko> - a fix in expo, scale branch (merged by marco)
15:39 <hikiko> - a brief look at the vm issues - tasks
15:39 <hikiko> EOF
15:40 <willcooke> thanks hikiko
