 15:39 <willcooke> flexiondotorg, :) Good advice

 15:40 <didrocks> +1

 15:40 <didrocks> (not around btw)

 15:40 <willcooke> Looks like happyaron isn't around.  He's been working on a security fix for nm-applet which has been handed to security for testing and release .

 15:40 <willcooke> thanks to Laney for the patch

 15:41 <willcooke> #topic hikiko

 15:41 <willcooke> - chromium:

 15:41 <willcooke> working on the software rendering part

 15:41 <willcooke> fixing issues and probs in my dev environment etc

 15:41 <willcooke> #topic Laney

 15:41 <Laney> hihi

 15:41 <Laney> uh

 15:41 <Laney> where u at

 15:42 <Laney> weird

 15:42 <Laney> • fixed a bug in nm-applet when used in the greeter

 15:42 <Laney> • Some sponsorships

 15:42 <Laney> • Some small package updates & testing/syncs of others (e.g. vala, file-roller)

 15:42 <Laney> • tested new glib from smcv (dh conversion)

 15:42 <Laney> • Test fixes - software-properties-gtk

 15:42 <Laney> • autopkgtest:

 15:42 <Laney> ∘ look into kernel failures - it was hitting the OOM killer during a test rebuild, not sure why - adding swap seems to have helped... I redeployed all the armhf machines with that

 15:42 <Laney> ∘ apparently there was too much downloading on swift from the web frontend, made that generate each release in serial rather than parallel to help but IS didn't give me much information so who knows if it did / what the problem really was

 15:42 <Laney> • fixed up an old g-i patch based on upstream's review

 15:42 <Laney> 🚣

 15:42 <willcooke> thanks Laney

 15:42 <willcooke> #topic qengho

 15:42 <qengho> Hello my pretties.

 15:42 <qengho> * Cr updated for X, Y, Z. ARM64 fixed for Y and Z.

 15:42 <qengho> * in progress: arm64 for X

 15:42 <qengho> * in progress: all arch for T

 15:42 <qengho> * lazy task to-do: yubikey tools snaps. PPAs suck if you care about security.

 15:42 <qengho> EOF

 15:43 <willcooke> thanks qengho

 15:43 <willcooke> #topic seb128

 15:43 <seb128> • langpacks updates are working now but being generated only for a few locales, started investigating that but didn't figure out the issue yet

 15:43 <seb128> • looked a bit at systemd user session/at-spi with Luke

 15:43 <seb128> • tested n-m-applet/permission issue

 15:43 <seb128> • some archive admin reviews

 15:43 <seb128> • usual launchpads/e.u.c bugs triaging

 15:43 <seb128> </week>

 15:43 <seb128> happy birthday andyrock as well!

 15:43 <willcooke> thanks seb128

 15:43 <willcooke> #topic sweet5hark

 15:44 <Sweet5hark> eh, /me is late. can you skip over me for a sec?

 15:44 <willcooke> Sweet5hark, ack

 15:44 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso

 15:44 <willcooke> * Spent a lot of time trying to track down why at-spi is not loaded by systemd in the user session. The current symptoms of this are a non-accessible unity panel, and a non-accessible MATE panel as well. Thanks to some help from Seb, managed to dig a bit further. For some reason, at-spi is atarted using its desktop file in /etc/xdg/autostart, but not in time for mate panel or unity panel to be accessible. The at-spi-dbus-bus service

 15:44 <willcooke> is inactive/dead, and in both cases, is started by mate or gnome session, and not the systemd user session binary. Removing the xdg desktop file means at-spi doesn't start at all, and Orca cannot connect to at-spi, to the point where at-spi doesn't even get activated. Investigation continues.

 15:44 <willcooke> * Started looking into an installer issue on Xenial that was brought to my attention, where the installer becomes inaccessible after partitioning for an unknown reason, and is only accessible with Orca once the user reaches the keyboard or user info pages. Need to get more debugging info from ubiquity to see if I can work out what may be going on.

 15:44 <willcooke> * Spent some time working on integration with espeak-ng in speech-dispatcher upstream due to upcoming changes in the next espeak-ng release, that break interraction with speech-dispatcher.

 15:44 <willcooke> #topic tkamppeter

 15:47 <willcooke> tkamppeter, please let me have your updates via email (or just paste here later)

 15:47 <willcooke> #topic Trevinho

 15:47 <Trevinho> · Updated snapcraft desktop-helpers to use SRU'ed xenial default libraries

 15:47 <Trevinho> · Couple of improvements to the Remmina snap

 15:47 <Trevinho> · Fixed remaining issues of the nextcloud-client snap (now merged upstream)

 15:47 <Trevinho> · Prepared a branch for travis building and uploading of the next-cloud client

 15:47 <Trevinho> · snapcraft-preload: fixed so that it can connect to DISPLAY (and thus work in X11!)

 15:47 <Trevinho> · Removed Required units from unity7 systemd services (avoiding session crashes)

 15:47 <Trevinho> · Prepared an unity7 landing

 15:47 <Trevinho> · Unity7 / compiz reviews

 15:47 <Trevinho> · snapped subsurface (let's test Linus on that! :-))

 15:47 <Trevinho> · Enjoyed some Cañas, sun and tapas in Barcelona

 15:47 <Trevinho> EOF

 15:48 <willcooke> #topic AOB

 15:48 <willcooke> Anyone got anything?

 15:49 <flexiondotorg> I'd like to pick seb128 and didrocks brains about fonts and themes in snaps.
