There's no option for it in NM (I think) and there's a bug in iwlwifi preventing to disable it with wpa_cli. I started a discussion about it in linux-wireless ml, will prepare a lp bug. 15:38 * looking into python performance regression (bug #1638695) 15:38 * testing my fix to bug #1638695 15:38 eof 15:38 bug 1702529 in samba (Ubuntu) " ACCESS_DENIED with symlinks within a root ("/") share" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1702529 15:38 bug 1638695 in python2.7 (Ubuntu) "Python 2.7.12 performance regression" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1638695 15:38 aaaaaaaaaaaha 15:38 my irc client froze I guess 15:39 thanks dgadomski 15:39 good to see the python thing getting fixed 15:39 #topic didrocks 15:39 hey 15:39 * Did a lot of changes to ubuntu and GNOME Shell vanilla sessions: 15:39 - Separate between a vanilla and GNOME session. 15:39 - Uploaded glib changes for per-session override. 15:39 - Cleaned up overrides per session (global, gdm, ubuntu, unity) ones. That way, we have 2 sessions with vanilla having GNOME's default. 15:39 - Make the vanilla session more vanilla by having GNOME themes and font. Rewrote the way we patched the Shell theme to keep in sync while still shipping 2 versions. 15:39 - Use non symbolic icons in the appmenu for our ubuntu session while still having upstream using the symbolic ones. 15:39 - Implement a Gnome Shell ubuntu mode, enabled only in the ubuntu session with our changes. 15:39 - Worked with dash to dock upstream to add our "ubuntu" branch there, renaming and slight changes with different defaults. Implemented some settings we want users to have access in GNOME Control Center and wrote as well the transition from the unity settings to ubuntu dock ones. Pushed some changes to the master dash to dock upstream branch. 15:39 - Switched our ubuntu & gnome sessions to wayland by default. 15:39 - Fixed sound above 100% menu in a compatible way with upstream vanilla session. Opened a discussion with GNOME design team. 15:39 - Fixed our battery indicator by using upstream one, while still using our own icon themes for other icons and making corresponding changes in unity-power (+ awesome tests update fun). 15:39 * Wrote about all those changes with rationale in blog posts: 15:39 - https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/14/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-1/ 15:40 - https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/15/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-2/ 15:40 - https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/16/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-3/ 15:40 - https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/17/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-4/ 15:40 - https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/18/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-5/ 15:40 - https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/21/ubuntu-gnome-shell-in-artful-day-6/ 15:40 - thanks to Will for rereading and typo fixes before publish! 15:40 * Engaging on those via twitter, google+, numerous comments on my blog (more than 100 in total) as well french forum. 15:40 * Misc: 15:40 - review some mate uploads in gtk unity module? 15:40 - review some gjs new packages and help transition. 15:40 . 15:40 wow 15:41 indeed oow :-) 15:41 wow 15:42 thx, nice one 15:42 #topic duflu 15:42 someone tell me when this is done (bluez ...) please 15:42 * Totem performance: Investigating and profiling... - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/totem/+bug/1698270 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/clutter-gst-3.0/+bug/1698282 - Completed an initial/partial fix: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubu 15:42 Ubuntu bug 1698270 in Totem "Totem pauses and stutters during video playback even when CPU usage is low" [High,Incomplete] 15:42 Ubuntu bug 1698282 in Totem "Totem uses dramatically higher CPU than any other video player" [Medium,Confirmed] 15:42 ntu/+source/totem/+bug/1698282 - ... but more work is still required.

Some of the bigger pieces landed: 15:44 ◦ Evolution 15:44 ◦ webkit2gtk & epiphany 15:44 ◦ gnome-calendar (now supports recurring events) 15:44 ◦ tracker2 (split source package means we'll probably be able to sync this with Debian from now on) 15:44 ◦ nautilus now offers full-text search for indexed files if you have tracker running 15:44 ◦ gjs (in artful-proposed) 15:44 • Reported pango regressions, cherry-picked a fix for one from bugzilla, and reverted to building with autotools for the other 15:44 • LocutusofBorg fixed the s390x build for geary so the git snapshot using webkit2gtk is now in artful 15:44 • empathy now uses webkit2gtk too.

I also committed the snapcraft.yaml upstream. 15:54 * Worked on strict confinement for simple-scan, not quite working yet but according to snappy-debug the policy should actually be working.
