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 * Caught up on every PR/issues for the communitheme, did some comments, proposed some fixes. 14:34 * 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 * Follow up discussions about our ambiance theme refresh with Trevhino & Will 14:34 * Some sponsoring and reviews 14:34 . 14:34 didrocks, does this dot mean your done ? 14:34 you're* 14:34 jibel: yes, as always :) 14:34 thanks didrocks 14:35 #topic duflu 14:35 * Pure Wayland apps (including mpv) not responding to the mouse (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1739625) 14:35 Launchpad bug 1739625 in mutter (Ubuntu) "Mouse events pass through pure Wayland windows (that use wl_shell)" [High,In progress] 14:35 - This week the fix landed in both upstream master and 3.26 branches. 14:35 - Now definitely scheduled for release in mutter 3.36.3. 14:35 * Unresponsive touchpads (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1696929) 14:35 Launchpad bug 1696929 in libinput (Ubuntu Bionic) "Touchpads are unresponsive and laggy for small finger movements" [High,In progress] 14:35 - Conducted more hardware testing of the current and proposed patches: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98839#c85 14:35 - 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.

I might propose changes to upstream clutter later. Not a shell priority any more, probably. 14:36 - Presently: I am now working on generating some real-time profiles of gnome-shell to see where it blocks (or wastes CPU). 14:36 * Daily bug management across gnome-shell, mutter, gdm3, ubuntu-themes, bluez, pulseaudio, dkms, mir, wayland, totem, mpv, libinput. 14:36 * HELP: Fixes still awaiting sponsorship: 14:36 - https://code.launchpad.net/~vanvugt/gtk/fix-1698270/+merge/331846 14:36 - https://code.launchpad.net/~vanvugt/totem/fix-1502476/+merge/333195 14:36 thanks duflu 14:36 #topic jbicha 14:37 no jbicha, next 14:38 #topic jibel / heber 14:38 17.10.1 tested and released 14:38 Continued the work on bootspeed and fixed bug 1742403 14:38 bug 1742403 in network-manager (Ubuntu) "package network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu 1.8.4-1ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: installed network-manager-config-connectivity-ubuntu package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1742403 14:38 Added new KPI to the desktop dashboard. 14:38 Update grafana dashboards with correct releases 14:38 Continue adding gnome-software automated tests 14:38 .. 14:38 #topic kenvandine 14:38 on holidays 14:38 #topic Laney 14:39 Laney, around? 14:39 yeah I was commenting on a bug 14:39 here I am 14:39 o Reviews / fixes / testing / sponsoring for andyrock's SRUs 14:39 o GLib updates in Debian, debugged & fixed a GDateTime problem on i386 14:39 o More work on systemd user session stuff, copying my local setup in the VM to the actual trees including autotools work :( 14:39 ? 14:40 oh I helped a GCI guy a bit too 14:40 thanks to didrocks for pointing him at me 14:40 thanks Laney 14:40 #topic oSoMoN 14:40 hey 14:40 • firefox 14:40 ∘ helped with snap issues, and asked if upstream would be interested in patches to use xdg-open and xdg-settings 14:40 ∘ started https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/opening-a-local-file-with-its-default-application/3493 14:40 ∘ tested the patch attached to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1430073 and provided feedback 14:40 Mozilla bug 1430073 in Release Automation "Snap: Move executable outside of $WORKSPACE/source/opt/firefox" [Normal,New] 14:40 • chromium 14:40 ∘ moved ownership of my chromium-snap branches and packages to ~chromium-team 14:40 ∘ working on a patch to allow searching for the widevine CDM libs in $HOME/.local/lib, to make this mechanism snap-friendly 14:40 ∘ working on bug #1742653 14:40 bug 1742653 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "chromium-browser 63+ packages 50+ MB of binaries only needed at build time" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1742653 14:40 • libreoffice 14:40 ∘ successfully built and tested 5.4.4 snap, issued call for testing (https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-libreoffice-5-4-4/3542) 14:41 ∘ excluded third-party fonts from the snap (used only at build time to run unit tests), saved 16MB 14:41 ∘ updating bionic to 5.4.4 14:41 that's it from me 14:41 thanks oSoMoN 14:41 #topic seb128 14:41 seb128, is sprinting 14:41 #topic tkamppeter 14:42 Did not prepare the list yet, if we are not yet at the end of the line, will post it at the end. 14:42 tkamppeter, that's fine, we'll come back to you in 5 min 14:42 #topic Trevinho 14:42 · Some more digging into fprintd and pam finger print 14:42 · Some improvements to the gnome-shell / mutter patches for scaling 14:42 · Even more JS fixes to gnome-shell and updates to old patches 14:42 · Review of some CSS changes to Ambiance, and some look at Ambiance-RW 14:42 ... 14:43 thanks Trevinho 14:43 #topic robert_ancell 14:44 - Guest session work 14:44 - Working on upstreaming gnome-software channel selection 14:44 - LightDM XDMCP fixes 14:44 thanks robert_ancell 14:44 #topic AOB 14:44 anyone wants the mic? 14:44 nothing for me 14:45 okay then 14:45 #topic tkamppeter 14:45 - cups-filters: Released 1.19.0: Overtaken all new functionality from the driverless PPD generator of CUPS to the one in cups-filters, fixed color space/color depth determination in PPD generator, improved human-readable strings in the PPDs. 14:45 - cups: Fixed bug of 16-bit high color depth not working in Apple Raster (AirPrint printers, most common driverless printing type). 14:45 - Hardware: Searching for a new printer to purchase, investigated models. 14:45 - Google Summer of Code 2018: 14:46 Interviewed first group of students 14:46 Put up application for Linux Foundation 14:46 Put up web pages with project ideas. 14:46 - Bugs. 14:47 thanks tkamppeter, anything else? 14:47 I take your silence as a no. 14:47 OK, that's all. 14:48 Thanks everyone and see you next week! 14:48 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
