14:36 <jibel> - Finally bisected the problem (it's indeed a regression in Mesa 18.0.0).
14:36 <jibel> - Notified upstream, but they think it *should work* so "we" need to investigate potential kernel fixes.

14:52 <jibel> anyone wants the mic?
14:52 <jbicha> .
14:53 <jbicha> I was wanting to add totem to our minimal-remove list since it's common for people to want to switch it out with vlc or gnome-mpv
14:53 <jbicha> also, I'd like a decision on whether we need the Amazon webapp in the minimal Ubuntu install
14:53 <jibel> ^ anyone any opinion on jbicha's proposal ?
14:53 <jibel> willcooke, Laney didrocks and all ?
14:54 <didrocks> willcooke: I guess those are mostly for you, as you discussed the content with the product manager ^
14:54 <willcooke> otp - sec
14:54 <willcooke> +1 sounds fine to me
14:54 <willcooke> didrocks, any opinion?
14:54 <jbicha> willcooke: fine to remove both totem and the webapp?
14:55 <willcooke> -1 on webapp, sorry
14:55 <jbicha> almost … ;)
14:55 <willcooke> nice try
14:55 <Laney> you already tried that one
14:55 <didrocks> willcooke: I don't know for totem, I think vlc is a strong candidate for replacement, so yeah, makes sense
14:55 <jbicha> I didn't remember getting a firm answer yet
14:56 <willcooke> caveat re: totem - I don't want to spend time on it if it will affect data collection service work
14:56 <didrocks> I guess jbicha is going to do the MP
14:56 <willcooke> kk cool
14:56 <jbicha> it takes almost no time to add it to the list
14:56 <didrocks> jbicha: think testing it with gstreamer additional codecs
14:56 <didrocks> so you need to test an install, and so on
14:56 <didrocks> (with 3rd part options)
14:57 <jbicha> hmm
14:57 <didrocks> so no, don't just update the list, have a real install :)
14:58 <jibel> jbicha, you have an answer. Anything else for this week?
14:58 <didrocks> nothing for me
14:58 <jbicha> nothing for me
14:59 <jibel> Lets wrap then. Thank you everyone and see you next meeting!
14:59 <didrocks> thanks!
