13:34 <kenvandine> #topic didrocks
13:34 <didrocks> 4 days week
13:34 <didrocks> * GNOME Shell:
13:34 <didrocks> - rebase volume above 100% patch set, a lot of conflicts due to (upstream changing all function() -> () and Lang.bind calls changed to object.bind…). Rested, (manually applying g-s-d patches) with various cases. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/2. Waiting for some reviews (just got few comments from a non upstream dev)
13:34 <ubot5-ng> GNOME bug (Merge request) 2 in gnome-shell "Volume slider overdrive" (comments: 17) [Opened]
13:34 <didrocks> - rebase GNOME extension patch set. Same issues than above about conflicts. Retested the new Dbus API impact and various settings state (write-only keys and such…). Needs as well an upstream review: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/merge_requests/1
13:34 <ubot5-ng> GNOME bug (Merge request) 1 in gnome-shell "Better mode extension support: status sync and disabling." (comments: 2) [Opened]
13:34 <didrocks> * Communitheme:
13:34 <didrocks> - continued discussions on the hub, both private/public. Help them on some topics.
13:34 <didrocks> - answered on communitheme-set-default, but still stuck… I'm getting a lot of user's pings and emails on various channels asking how to reset their default keys and have gdm using communitheme as a result.
13:34 <didrocks> * Ubuntu Report:
13:34 <didrocks> - discuss what to log with j_ibel, answered questions and discuss new metrics to add to upgader.
13:34 <didrocks> - poke and discuss some inconsistencies in the data: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771966.
13:34 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1771966 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Time measurement in telemetry can be negative" [High,Triaged]
13:34 <didrocks> - added those new metrics and data fix on https://code.launchpad.net/~didrocks/ubuntu-release-upgrader/add_telemetry/+merge/345088. Still waiting for a rereview…
13:34 <didrocks> - fix an ubuntu-report bug for GPU info: https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report/commit/70287d7531b81395ab4e010556809bea388fae1e
13:34 <didrocks> * Ubuntu Make:
13:34 <didrocks> - sponsor a new release
13:34 <didrocks> - help fixing some integration tests issues found in autopktests and other issues in the release.
13:34 <didrocks> - move the integration tests from unity-based to gnome-shell based (still some work needed).
13:34 <didrocks> - guide for a new release and moving helper from adt to autopkgtests.
13:34 <didrocks> * Misc:
13:34 <didrocks> - bug triaging like ubuntu-report
13:34 <didrocks> - settings priorities for this cycles
13:34 <didrocks> .
13:35 <kenvandine> thx
13:35 <kenvandine> #topic duflu
13:35 <kenvandine> * Ubuntu 18.04 regressions:
13:35 <kenvandine> - [IN PROGRESS] Panel and menus are clipped when in zoom
13:35 <kenvandine> (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1767648)
13:35 <kenvandine> . Partial/prerequisite fix proposed:
13:35 <kenvandine> (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/112). This makes
13:35 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1767648 in mutter (Ubuntu) "Top bar and shell dialogs are not displayed properly when zoom is enabled" [Undecided,In progress]
13:35 <kenvandine> an immediate (inefficient) workaround/fix possible, but I'm still
13:35 <kenvandine> working on finding a more efficient generalized fix instead...
13:35 <ubot5-ng> GNOME bug (Merge request) 112 in mutter "clutter-actor: Fix clutter_actor_is_in_clone_paint" (comments: 1) [Opened]
13:35 <kenvandine> * PulseAudio:
13:35 <kenvandine> - Bluetooth audio skipping: After the upstream fix landed on 15 May
13:35 <kenvandine> it was on my TODO list to get into distro. But Alberto unexpectedly
13:35 <kenvandine> jumped in and did it already :D (https://launchpad.net/bugs/405294)
13:35 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 405294 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu Bionic) "A2DP Bluetooth audio skips terribly ["Skipping NNN us (= MMM bytes) in audio stream"]" [High,In progress]
13:35 <kenvandine> * Gnome Shell performance fixes:
13:35 <kenvandine> - [LANDED] Zoom performance fix in gnome-shell 3.29.2
13:35 <kenvandine> (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/94101e8bb8).
13:35 <kenvandine> - [LANDED] Mipmapping (window previews) performance fix in
13:35 <kenvandine> gnome-shell 3.29.2 (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/commit/c9c328354).

13:36 <kenvandine> (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/73)
13:36 <ubot5-ng> GNOME bug (Merge request) 73 in mutter "WIP: backends/native: CRTCs now hold references to front buffers" (comments: 13) [Opened]
13:36 <kenvandine> * Daily bug management across gnome-shell, mutter, gdm3, ubuntu-themes,
13:36 <kenvandine> bluez, pulseaudio, dkms, wayland, totem, mpv, libinput.

13:37 <kenvandine> ok, we'll move on and check back with jbicha later
13:37 <kenvandine> #topic jamesh
13:37 <kenvandine> snapd/portals:
13:37 <kenvandine> * the document-portal support branch got merged into snapd master.
13:37 <kenvandine> * Still need to solve the xdg-document-portal auto-start issue, so at
13:37 <kenvandine> least one more PR needed here.
13:37 <kenvandine> snapd/evolution-data-server
13:37 <kenvandine> * wrote and packaged some evolution-data-server test utilities based
13:38 <kenvandine> on example code from manual (since EDS doesn't come with any ready
13:38 <kenvandine> made utilities)
13:38 <kenvandine> * wrote spread test for contacts service, and am finishing up the
13:38 <kenvandine> calendar service spread test.
13:38 <kenvandine> * Uploaded PR to get feedback from Spread on various backends:
13:38 <kenvandine> https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/pull/5184 -- I expect this to fail
13:38 <ubot5-ng> snapcore bug (Pull request) 5184 in snapd "[WIP] interfaces: add desktop-{contacts,calendar}-service interfaces" (comments: 0) [Open]
13:38 <kenvandine> because I haven't uploaded an i386 build of test-snapd-eds yet, but am
13:38 <kenvandine> mostly interested in seeing how well the spread test performs on other
13:38 <kenvandine> amd64 backends.
13:38 <kenvandine> #topic jibel/heber
13:39 <jibel> * Deployed automated installer and upgrader tests for Cosmic

13:40 <kenvandine> - Properly running oem-config in a basic session mode, after completing oem-config xrdp starts which toggles enhanced session mode
13:40 <kenvandine> - Ubuntu Welcome now runs on first login as it should
13:40 <kenvandine> - Removed some polkitd rules provided by microsoft that should allow creating a color profile without prompting auth.  The rules cause polkitd to crash, we need to debug that further.  For now you get an auth prompt while creating the color profile

13:42 <Laney> ‣ this broke a few things, spent some time fixing those
13:42 <Laney> ∘ to catch up with the armhf backlog, deployed 3 new testing nodes, but there are some weird problems with the artful/bionic images, discussed those with xnox a bit - still pending a fix
13:42 <Laney> ‣ in the meantime I added some hacks to the setup routines to workaround those problems

13:49 <kenvandine> http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-incoming-bug-tasks.html
13:50 <seb128> seems like nothing got tagged since previous week
13:50 <kenvandine> yeah
13:50 <kenvandine> and just the one that's marked incomplete
13:50 <kenvandine> surely there's more
13:51 <seb128> should we review the unassigned ones on http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-tracking-bug-tasks.html ?
13:51 <kenvandine> yes
13:51 <Laney> also the assigned ones...
13:52 <seb128> the 49 ones?
13:52 <seb128> I guess we can skip the fix commited
13:52 <seb128> we better get started :p
13:53 <Laney> well maybe you want to do that out of the meeting like in a hangout or something
13:53 <seb128> kenvandine?
13:53 <seb128> right
13:53 <Laney> but on assigned ones, seems we dropped checking on those after the release
13:53 <kenvandine> i'll get bug 934291 uploaded to bionic soon
13:53 <ubot5> bug 934291 in cups-pk-helper (Ubuntu Bionic) "Deleting or stopping print jobs does not work" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/934291
13:53 <seb128> I'm a bit lost at what's the best way to deal with that list at this point
13:53 <Laney> hopefully notfixing gets them off the list
13:53 <Laney> even if nominated
13:54 <seb128> does anyone would prefer to review the list as a team or discuss some now?
13:54 * didrocks looks quickly at the list, but it's hard to grasp, indeed
13:54 <seb128> or should we just take an action to review/clean the list later in the week?
13:54 <kenvandine> yeah
13:55 <kenvandine> i think everyone should make an effort to do what they can to clean this before next week
13:55 <kenvandine> and next week we go over everything that's left together
13:55 <kenvandine> so if nobody cleans them up... we'll have a long meeting next week :)
13:55 <Laney> what do you imagine happening there?
13:56 <kenvandine> hopefully the fix committed drops off actually
13:56 <kenvandine> and maybe move some to cosmic
13:56 <kenvandine> if they aren't SRU candidates
13:57 <kenvandine> do we have a way to tag bugs for 18.04.1?
13:57 <Laney> there's the milestone thing
13:58 <kenvandine> i'm sure we do :)
13:58 * didrocks wonders why some were fixed released and revert to Triaged without any info: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-initial-setup/+bug/1768557
13:58 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1768557 in gnome-initial-setup (Ubuntu Bionic) "Update what's new graphic for Welcome to Ubuntu wizard" [Low,Triaged]
13:58 <Laney> but I dont' know how to use that very effectively
13:58 <jibel> you can set the milestone to 18.04.1
13:58 <kenvandine> maybe that's what we should worry about
13:58 <didrocks> (I guess that's comment #3, but not clear)
13:58 <seb128> didrocks, comment #3
13:58 <seb128> right
13:58 <Laney> if it was me I'd have a hangout or something to blast through them all
13:59 <Laney> most don't look like very clear cut "not for bionic" candidates to me
13:59 <seb128> we need to define exactly what we want the workflow/process to be
13:59 <seb128> but willcooke is not around and I don't think we are going to achieve that  during the meeting
13:59 <seb128> so let's schedule something later in the week to discuss that
13:59 <kenvandine> i'm thinking we should try to narrow it down to candidates for 18.04.1
13:59 <didrocks> +1
13:59 <kenvandine> yeah
13:59 <kenvandine> +1
14:00 <kenvandine> #topic aob
14:00 <willcooke> seb128, back
14:00 <willcooke> +1 hangout
14:00 <willcooke> doing it here will be painful
14:00 <seb128> wb willcooke :)
14:00 <seb128> willcooke, will also should define what the workflow should be and how we handle those
14:01 <willcooke> nod
14:01 <Laney> not sure I understand what the problem is apart from "someone" nominating things directly
14:01 <seb128> I didn't make  my mind on the topic, but we might be able to follow better if we have the .1 team bugs in the trello board
14:01 <Laney> it's assigned bugs to fix in $release
14:02 <seb128> we don't have a ".1 view" though
14:02 <Laney> ok, maybe the milestone field can be exposed in that page then
14:02 <seb128> that would be useful yes
14:02 <kenvandine> that would help
14:03 <seb128> that's what the "target" column is supposed to be
14:03 <seb128> we should milestone one to see if it works :p
14:03 * seb128 does that
14:04 <Laney> very good, problem solved
14:04 <seb128> :)
14:04 <seb128> k, AOB then?
14:05 <kenvandine> nothing from me
14:05 <Laney> I'd be a bit wary of treating it as "bugs to fix" and "bugs to care about later" though
14:05 <Laney> like even if it isn't milestoned you still want people to be looking at their rls bugs
14:05 <kenvandine> Laney, true
14:05 <Laney> otherwise they wouldn't be rls bugs
14:06 <Laney> if that makes sense
14:06 <seb128> right

14:06 <Laney> yes, relative priority maybe
14:09 <seb128> do we still want to discuss that topic or any other? or should we wrap?
14:09 <kenvandine> no other business?
14:10 <willcooke> Does the same time slot tomorrow work for you guys for a HO?
14:10 <willcooke> We wont get everyone
14:10 <willcooke> but it seems like a good place to start
14:10 <kenvandine> for me yes

14:11 <kenvandine> ok, that's a wrap for today then
