 15:32 <desrt> hihi

 15:32 <hikiko> i ran chown -R eleni:eleni on the OS device instead of my data device because I added an extra hd and the /dev/sd* names changed and I had it in fstab and totally forgot to check what is automounted

 15:32 <willcooke> righty, let's kick off

 15:33 <hikiko> so I had to reinstall the os and then I remembered that apt has some options to fix the permissions

 15:33 <willcooke> #topic andyrock

 15:33 <willcooke> I mostly worked on CR+mir. I wrote most of the needed classes but chromium still fails to render on mir. I m debugging the issue but by the end of the week I hope to have something more.

 15:34 <willcooke> #topic desrt

 15:34 <desrt> hey

 15:34 <desrt> went over the apparmor work from attente last week

 15:34 <desrt> had a meeting on it, it looks good

 15:34 <desrt> but still working on the changes to make the proxy respond to notifications about changes in security policy, so probably will need to refactor that somewhat

 15:34 <desrt> attente: let's meet again today, if you have some time

 15:34 <desrt> eof.

 15:34 <willcooke> cool, thanks desrt

 15:36 <flexiondotorg> - Contacting the most popular Electron projects/products to start them on their snap journey.

 15:37 <flexiondotorg> - Fix in progress for desktop helpers so snapped applications can create/remove auto-start entries.

 15:37 <flexiondotorg> - Working with upstream electron-builder to add more complete snap support so we can target more projects.

 15:37 <flexiondotorg> - Working on VMWare snaps, they requested help.

 15:37 <flexiondotorg> 🎬

 15:37 <willcooke> awesome, thanks flexiondotorg

 15:37 <flexiondotorg> I'd like to here about Cr backend for Mir.

 15:38 <willcooke> flexiondotorg, hook up with andyrock when he's back on Friday

 15:38 <willcooke> also, you might want the "_" in the middle of the string somewhere rather than at the start to avoid pings

 15:38 <flexiondotorg> Ah, OK.

 15:38 <willcooke> #topic happyaron

 15:38 <willcooke> 1. {spl,zfs}-linux are updated for Linux 4.9, and in sync with Debian now

 15:38 <willcooke> 5. working on more automated zfs testing stuff atm

 15:38 <willcooke> #topic hikiko

 15:39 <hikiko> willcooke: if you have my bullets handy could you paste them?

 15:39 <hikiko> sorry

 15:40 <willcooke> hikiko, sure

 15:40 <qengho> hikiko: Best to re-install. I don't think dpkg could help that much.

 15:40 <hikiko> thank you

 15:40 <willcooke> * problems in chromium-mir prerequisites:p

 15:40 <willcooke> - updated from X to Z in my desktop to build chrome there, in the fast ssd (miral-shell runs on Z). Ended up doing a fresh OS installation due to several tl;dr packages, systemd and pebcak problems

 15:40 <willcooke> - solved new problems in the fresh installation:

 15:40 <willcooke> |--chromium needs more than 80GB space => the ssd where I build it doesn't have enough space for the OS and the chromium together

 15:40 <willcooke> => had to free space in the hd and find the args that can accelerate the chromium build until I have the new ssd

 15:40 <willcooke> |--workaround why the latest intel driver refused to see my hdmi monitor

 15:40 <willcooke> |--replaced xserver with an older version (X,Y,Z have upgraded the xserver to a version that crashes when 2 wm ask for 2 displays => cannot use it for u7 development)

 15:40 <willcooke> * chromium-development:

 15:40 <willcooke> - learned the git basics

 15:40 <willcooke> - fixed compile errors in chromium 3rd party libraries/examples/tests

 15:40 <willcooke> - fixed 3rd party BUILD.gn files that expect the compiler to be clang and define stuff for clang only (I compile with gcc because clang experienced internal errors when something eg .h file was missing)

 15:40 <willcooke> - I am currently working on SurfaceFactory, trying to continue andreas work, but I still haven't done/tested much because I fix other problems here and there (hopefully at the meeting time I've finished the compile of the other branches and I'll be able to test mine with them).

 15:40 <willcooke> * lowgfx:

 15:40 <willcooke> - currently working on that since everything else on my desktop is compiling and compiling and compiling... hopefully, I'll have pushed the final branches of that too before the time of the meeting today...

 15:42 <willcooke> * Started looking at porting a suggested patch that Konrad pointed out for pulseaudio in xenial to help improve bluetooth matters there.

 15:42 <willcooke> * More testing of an upstream patch to reduce if not elimate at-spi crashing under certain circumstances with Orca.

 15:44 <jbicha> seb128: csoriano said you were thinking about just letting the patch be dropped?
