 15:32 <seb128> andyrock, hey

 15:32 <andyrock> # Coding the demo for update-manager to show canonical-livepatch status/fixes

 15:32 <andyrock> # Prototyping an API to get info about CVE using canonical-livepatch daemon

 15:32 <andyrock> # Coordinating with security team with possible solution to the problem of retrieving CVE info

 15:33 <andyrock> #eow

 15:33 <seb128> thanks andyrock

 15:33 <seb128> #topic dgadomski

 15:33 <seb128> dgadomski, hey

 15:33 <dgadomski> hey

 15:33 <dgadomski> * still working on disabling WiFi Direct for iwlwifi devices

 15:33 <dgadomski> * looking into a samba issue that's most probably a manifestation of upstream https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12860

 15:33 <dgadomski> * working on a landscape&do-release-upgrade conflict (bug #1699179)

 15:33 <ubot5> bugzilla.samba.org bug 12860 in File services "CVE-2017-2619 regression with non-wide symlinks to directories" [Normal,Assigned]

 15:33 <ubot5> bug 1699179 in landscape-client (Ubuntu) "PackageReporter kicks in during do-release-upgrade" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1699179

 15:33 <dgadomski> eof

 15:33 <seb128> dgadomski, thanks

 15:34 <seb128> #topic didrocks

 15:34 <seb128> didrocks,  hey, is your wifi good enough atm to paste your update?

 15:34 <seb128> seems not :p

 15:34 <seb128> or maybe

 15:34 <seb128> didrocks, your turn if you want to copy and if wifi lets you

 15:34 <didrocks> hey, let's see :)

 15:35 <seb128> :-)

 15:35 <didrocks> * Reintroduce ubuntu session as default gnome session (alongside to a new wayland session). Coordinate with other packages to ensure gnome-session isn't installed on desktop by default anymore. Ensure smooth upgrade story (almost done, need the gdm part still for Ubuntu GNOME).

 15:35 <didrocks> We now have (or rather, will have):

 15:35 <didrocks> Ubuntu session == G-S with Ubuntu tweaks

 15:35 <didrocks> Gnome session == upstream vanilla G-S and themes

 15:35 <didrocks> Unity session == Unity7 session

 15:35 <didrocks> Made several tests on a VM.

 15:35 <didrocks> * Handle the whole migration/default seeding/hard to transition due on pep8 autopkgtests failing (fixed update-notifier)

 15:35 <didrocks> * Talked about theme snaps on reddit

 15:35 <didrocks> * Gave some guidance on tutorials.ubuntu.com code.

 15:35 <didrocks> * Reviewed and merge Ken's desktop helper instructions and additional path for new GNOME platform snap.

 15:35 <didrocks> * Still some debugging with Amazon GG team. Finally got it to work! Confirming it's a bug on their side though and would require changing /etc/resolv.conf, which we can't :) Asked them for an ETA before publishing a snap.

 15:35 <didrocks> * Worked with olli on preparing Linux Tage near Stuttgart. Helping on the workshop, prepared a technical slide deck content and retested our tutorials.

 15:35 <didrocks> * Currently thus in Germany delivering this ^. Will be back tomorrow (arriving home late)!

 15:35 <didrocks> .

 15:35 <seb128> wooot

 15:35 <seb128> seems like it worked

 15:36 <seb128> - Lots more testing and investigation.

 15:36 <seb128> - Started to figure out the FFmpeg source, and how hwaccel is meant to work (and why the source code exists but nobody is getting acceleration).

 15:36 <seb128> - Made some progress with Intel in figuring out why Wayland seems broken (that will be one of the first bugs to fix).

 15:37 <seb128> Wrote patch to get gnome-software to display a warning on the details

 15:37 <seb128> page for classic snaps.  Needs review, but will let us add support for

 15:37 <seb128> classic snap installation.

 15:37 <seb128> Working on better support for picking which app to launch for snaps

 15:37 <seb128> that define multiple commands.

 15:37 <seb128> Followed up on upstreaming of gnome-builder snap plugin.  I asked the

 15:37 <seb128> snappy folks to add the Snapcraft feature request to the agenda of the

 15:37 <seb128> sprint.

 15:37 <seb128> Nothing new to report on xdg-desktop-portal either.  I asked for the

 15:38 <seb128> per-user bind mounts issue to be discussed at the Snappy sprint too.

 15:38 <seb128> #topic jibel

 15:38 <seb128> jibel, hey

 15:38 <jibel> * Evaluated gnome-battery-bench for power testing.

 15:38 <jibel> * Triaged bug 1698752

 15:38 <ubot5> bug 1698752 in ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "Ubiquity is still installed after standard desktop 17.10 installation" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1698752

 15:38 <jibel> ...

 15:38 <jibel> done, the bot was slow

 15:39 <seb128> haha

 15:39 <seb128> thanks jibel

 15:39 <seb128> #topic heber

 15:39 <seb128> heber, hey, do you have anything to share or is the update common with jibel, I'm never sure

 15:39 <jibel> same as mine

 15:39 <heber> hey! Actually jibel already provide the whole status for QA

 15:39 <jibel> I pasted for qa

 15:39 <heber> thanks!

 15:40 <jibel> unless heber wants to add something of course :)

 15:40 <heber> no atm

 15:40 <seb128> right

 15:40 <seb128> thanks heber, jibel

 15:40 <seb128> #topic kenvandine

 15:40 <seb128> * Published gnome-3-24 snap in stable channel

 15:40 <seb128> * Submitted branch to snapcraft-desktop-helpers to handle the update to gnome-3-24 platform, which has been merged

 15:40 <seb128> * Worked on the LightDM -> GDM3 transition and determined our initial strategy might be too hard on flavors and existing users.  Sent an email with some ideas to ubuntu-devel list, and got some great feedback.  I think the best approach is:

 15:40 <seb128> - In ubuntu-session postinst, check the current session for all users and if any of them are set to 'ubuntu' switch the default to GDM3.

 15:41 <seb128> - Make gdm3 depend on ubuntu-session to ensure ubuntu-session postinst is run before gdm3 is configured.  Leaving the prompt in gdm3, which is only shown if gdm3 isn't set as the default already.

 15:41 <seb128> #topic Llaney

 15:41 <seb128> ups

 15:41 <seb128> #topic Laney
