14:33 <jibel> #topic didrocks
14:33 <didrocks> * Worked and commited in our branch date centering relative to workarea on the Shell (bug #1716432) and sent the patch upstream (no answer yet).
14:33 <ubot5> bug 1716432 in GNOME Shell "With dash to dock enabled, title in window is not centred aligned to clock when the window is maximised" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1716432
14:33 <didrocks> * Implemented new sound option in Gnome Control Center (will be a minimal ubuntu patch) following Allan's design and GNOME Tweaks.
14:34 <didrocks> * Mentored GCI. We got 2 large contributions: new getting started blender videos adapted to our patch. Needs packaging (video generation when building) though. The second one is notifications on Terminal. Not fully working yet but vte & g-t Fedora's patches are applied. Helped the students with pointers, tutoring, packaging 1o1…
14:34 <didrocks> * Caught up on every PR/issues for the communitheme, did some comments, proposed some fixes.
14:34 <didrocks> * Integrated some CI on both communitheme repos, ensuring that package is building via Travis on every PR (and no typo on the sass syntax thus!).
14:34 <didrocks> * Follow up discussions about our ambiance theme refresh with Trevhino & Will
14:34 <didrocks> * Some sponsoring and reviews
14:34 <didrocks> .
14:34 <jibel> didrocks, does this dot mean your done ?
14:34 <jibel> you're*
14:34 <didrocks> jibel: yes, as always :)
14:34 <jibel> thanks didrocks
14:35 <jibel> #topic duflu
14:35 <jibel> * Pure Wayland apps (including mpv) not responding to the mouse (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1739625)
14:35 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1739625 in mutter (Ubuntu) "Mouse events pass through pure Wayland windows (that use wl_shell)" [High,In progress]
14:35 <jibel> - This week the fix landed in both upstream master and 3.26 branches.
14:35 <jibel> - Now definitely scheduled for release in mutter 3.36.3.
14:35 <jibel> * Unresponsive touchpads (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1696929)
14:35 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1696929 in libinput (Ubuntu Bionic) "Touchpads are unresponsive and laggy for small finger movements" [High,In progress]
14:35 <jibel> - Conducted more hardware testing of the current and proposed patches: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98839#c85
14:35 <jibel> - Looking at the upstream bug list, this seems to be the most reported/duplicated complaint against libinput, accounting for over 11% of open libinput bugs. So it's not just me
14:35 <ubot5> Freedesktop bug 98839 in libinput "Somehow conditionalize hysteresis (hardware black/whitelist, device property introspection, user-exposed setting, etc)" [Normal,Resolved: fixed]
14:35 <jibel> * PulseAudio: Revised 11.1 for bionic, with additional fixes:
14:35 <jibel> - https://launchpad.net/bugs/1718824
14:35 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1718824 in HWE Next "The analogue audio does not work on the Dell USB Dock" [Critical,In progress]
14:35 <jibel> - https://launchpad.net/bugs/1732629
14:35 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1732629 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Selecting USB Amp/Dac audio output in gnome sound does nothing" [Medium,In progress]
14:35 <jibel> - HELP: pulseaudio 1:11.1-1ubuntu4 stuck in proposed for no fault of its own, but: https://bugs.launchpad.net/debian/+source/gsequencer/+bug/1743511
14:35 <ubot5> Launchpad bug 1743511 in gsequencer (Ubuntu) "ags-integration-test fails with "dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot not found, either install the fakeroot package, specify a command with the -r option, or run this as root"" [High,New]
14:35 <jibel> * BlueZ 5.48: The testing PPA is finally built now:
14:35 <jibel> - https://launchpad.net/~bluetooth/+archive/ubuntu/bluez
14:36 <jibel> * Gnome Shell performance work:
14:36 <jibel> - Good news: Found that clutter's frame clock logic needs the same kind of fixes as have recently landed in GTK.
14:36 <jibel> - Bad news: Not that much other than some shell animations rely on the precision of the clutter frame clock so experimental fixes to its precision so far don't yield any major visual improvement to everyday usage. I might propose changes to upstream clutter later. Not a shell priority any more, probably.
14:36 <jibel> - Presently: I am now working on generating some real-time profiles of gnome-shell to see where it blocks (or wastes CPU).
14:36 <jibel> * Daily bug management across gnome-shell, mutter, gdm3, ubuntu-themes, bluez, pulseaudio, dkms, mir, wayland, totem, mpv, libinput.
14:36 <jibel> * HELP: Fixes still awaiting sponsorship:
14:36 <jibel> - https://code.launchpad.net/~vanvugt/gtk/fix-1698270/+merge/331846
