 15:43 <Laney> "working on zfs now????"

 15:43 <willcooke> :)

 15:43 <willcooke> #topic Laney

 15:43 <Laney> actually was more curious about the visa bit :P

 15:43 <Laney> oh yeah

 15:43 <Laney> this

 15:43 <Laney> • Short week - back from holidays

 15:43 <Laney> • Before I went away I uploaded the new default wallpaper, still waiting for a less banded version to replace the current one with.

 15:43 <Laney> • I also worked (also this week) on charming up the new asgen - the charm basically works now, but there are some bugs

 15:44 <Laney> ∘ a memory leak that makes it get OOM killed

 15:44 <Laney> ∘ some problems with thread safety (fixed upstream)

 15:44 <Laney> ∘ frontend is being hit by openstack being broken - I can't assign an IP to the instance (internal RT #95804 for interested nerds/jocks)

 15:44 <Laney> • Did the small appstream 0.10 transition quickly after the FFe got approved (todo: backport to xenial-backports)

 15:44 <Laney> • Oh I did (and reviewed) some theme bugfixes too (including https://code.launchpad.net/~willcooke/ubuntu-themes/hidpiicons/+merge/305219 which needs some small fixes)

 15:44 <Laney> • davmor2: it's the same on xenial - something weird there!

 15:44 <Laney> 🛄

 15:44 <willcooke> thanks Laney - I'll take a look at those fixes

 15:44 <Laney> r0x0r

 15:44 <willcooke> #topic qengho

 15:44 <qengho> Happy Tuesday, y'all.

 15:44 <qengho> * in-progress: new chromium upstream 53.0.2785.113. fine in yakkety, but crash in xenial amd64! memory allocator? Debugging.

 15:44 <qengho> * in-progress: browser snap test, GPU issues, printing still not working.

 15:44 <qengho> * to-do: armhf rasppi chromium crash. Old bug, but needs to be fixed.

 15:44 <qengho> EOF

 15:45 <willcooke> thanks qengho

 15:45 <willcooke> Did the API changes get a final fix yet?

 15:45 <davmor2> Laney: just looked odd so I just wanted a confirmation that it was meant to look like that

 15:45 <qengho> No. I need to find out about Firefox. I ignored it yesterday.

 15:46 <willcooke> qengho, ack

 15:46 <willcooke> thx

 15:46 <willcooke> #topic seb128

 15:46 <willcooke> � one vac day

 15:46 <willcooke> � some patch piloting (not a full shift but cleaned a bit and got some

 15:46 <willcooke> things uploaded for yakkety)

 15:46 <willcooke> � several rounds of reviewing the unity8-mirs-stack and testing on the

 15:46 <willcooke> daily iso

 15:46 <willcooke> � NEW reviews for the touch team

 15:46 <willcooke> � yakkety daily iso testing

 15:46 <willcooke> � bugs triaging and some fixing

 15:46 <willcooke> � joined some snappy discussions (mostly about xdg-open)

 15:46 <willcooke> #topic Sweet5hark1

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> - two days vacation

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> - updated libreoffice snap to 5.2.1

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- first attempt rejected: had no .desktop entries while using unity7 (neither had previous uploads, so moving goalposts a bit here)

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- added .desktop files after hunting for some docs where they are supposed to be

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- ran into bug 1623580, worked around it by providing .desktop files different from what is documented

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- filed bug 1625656, as static desktop files arent sustainable in the long run for LibreOffice and likely a lot of others who have non-trivial l10n in desktop files

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- also noted two new deprecation warnings from snapcraft since the last 5.2.0 build. IMHO that (combined with the rejection due to missing .desktop files which never where there) hints at the danger that we do a lintianification of snap (which will discourage volunteers)

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> - looked into bug 1619442

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- verified this is a gtk2 backend only issue

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- gtk2 is phased out and only provided as an emergency fallback from yakkety onwards, so dropped severity from High->Medium

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- might look into disabling gmenumodel/unity integration for gtk2 if this fixes the issue

 15:46 <Sweet5hark1> EOF

 15:47 <willcooke> thanks Sweet5hark1

 15:47 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso

 15:47 <willcooke> * Worked on getting the terminal app in a deacent state for upload to yakkety. Afaik popey is handling the paperwork. Bug 1623845.

 15:47 <willcooke> * Worked out that Orca is usable in oem-config mode under Xenial but not Yakkety. I suspect an a11y stack regression somewhere, not pursuing for yakkety at this point. However, to make things work properly in oem-config mode to allow a user to select a profile during first setup, an extra script will need to be added to ubiquity. No bug yet, plan to file that in coming days.

 15:47 <willcooke> * Looked at getting a hold of some bluetooth hardware to track down the various bluetooth audio bugs we have, one being bug 1574324.

 15:47 <ubot5`> bug 1623845 in Ubuntu "[needs-packaging] ubuntu-terminal-app" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1623845

 15:47 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter

 15:47 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Continued bug fixing on cups-browsed:

 15:47 <tkamppeter> o Many more fixes for problems like failure of CUPS on the server, handling of legacy-broadcasted remote printers, temporary failure of downloading remote PPD, saving PPD options of IPP network printers ...

 15:47 <tkamppeter> - cups-filters: Released 1.11.3 with all the cups-browsed bug fixes of last week. Uploaded to Yakkety. A 1.11.4 will follow soon.

 15:47 <tkamppeter> - CUPS: Synced 2.2.0 final from Debian into Yakkety, fixes an important infinite loop bug which could cause cups-browsed to hang on shutdown.
