Fixes upstream only, will need to SRU (and probably FFe?). Latest commits on https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-report/commits/master 13:34 - Now, when we can't post (no Internet for instance) the report immediately, we drop a file that is picked up by a service which will try to send it (with exponential backoff). The service is only started if the file is present to minimize footprint 13:34 - Get screen physical size which will enable us to measure dpi 13:34 - Report language used within session to fix OEM case (installer language being most of the time English there) 13:34 - Discussed with j_ibel about metrics, what is valid, how to measure and accumulate values. 13:34 - Some first contributor PR review (still WIP) 13:34 * Communitheme: 13:34 - fix CI setup for gtk-common-helper (was due to a small typo): https://github.com/ubuntu/communitheme-snap-helpers/commit/66de8add2eaf73ee10e23f36935174ebf7b6e896 13:34 - discussions (public and private) with the core community around issues and with the suru maintainer over the hub. 13:34 * Ubuntu Make: 13:34 - help current maintainer with autopkgtests to unblock stuck version in -proposed: 13:34 + move autopkgtests to bionic env (no requirement on unity process anymore) and also from adt- to autopkgtest command. 13:34 + lot of discussions and help. 13:34 + Now, it's up to the new maintainer to fix latest regressions. 13:34 * Misc: 13:34 - book flights for GUADEC 13:34 - fight on sso issues and debug with IS 13:34 I didn't get any time to look seriously at my only assigned tracking bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765389). Will do this week! 13:34 Ubuntu bug 1765389 in vte2.91 (Ubuntu Bionic) "[FFe] Drop unrelated changes from revert-prce2.patch" [Low,Triaged] 13:34 And @Laney: yes, but depends on which season of the character you associate me with. 13:34 . 13:34 thanks didrocks 13:35 #topic duflu 13:35 * Ubuntu 18.04 regressions: 13:35 - FIXED! Panel and menus are clipped when in zoom (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1767648). See below list of merge requests for the fix. This is a little exciting because it not only fixes three open bugs, but also unblocks more ways of optimizing gnome-shell (which I was stuck on some months ago). 13:35 * Mutter work completed and proposed this week: 13:35 - The 18.04 zoom regression (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/117) as well as other issues found along the way: 13:35 Ubuntu bug 1767648 in mutter (Ubuntu) "Top bar and shell dialogs are not displayed properly when zoom is enabled" [High,In progress] 13:35 GNOME bug (Merge request) 117 in mutter "clutter: Fix offscreen-effect painting of clones" (comments: 0) [Opened] 13:35 . clutter-actor: Fix clutter_actor_is_in_clone_paint (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/112) 13:35 GNOME bug (Merge request) 112 in mutter "clutter-actor: Fix clutter_actor_is_in_clone_paint" (comments: 1) [Opened] 13:35 . clutter-actor: Fix uninitialized matrix multiply (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/114) 13:35 GNOME bug (Merge request) 114 in mutter "clutter-actor: Fix uninitialized matrix multiply" (comments: 0) [Opened] 13:35 . clutter-effect: Rename get_paint_volume (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/115) 13:35 - renderer-native: Reference count front buffers.

And it was fixed last week: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1767896 13:35 GNOME bug (Merge request) 119 in mutter "renderer-native: Reference count front buffers." (comments: 19) [Opened] 13:35 Ubuntu bug 1767896 in ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "Live images with broken seed causes snapd high CPU usage and periodic short GUI freezes" [High,Fix released] 13:35 * BlueZ 5.49: 13:35 - Unexpectedly blocked on new lintian failures in cosmic. And upon looking at Debian I found they have already released 5.49 before us, which has never happened before. Now planning on pulling a few things from there to complete/fix the release. Maybe a full sync with Debian at some stage too, but that may prove risky given how long we've been diverged. 13:35 * Daily bug management across gnome-shell, mutter, gdm3, ubuntu-themes, bluez, pulseaudio, dkms, wayland, totem, mpv, libinput. 13:35 - Interestingly this week has been the worst for backlog growth since bionic release week. Although ubiquity, firefox and nautilus scale the graph so much that you can't easily see that most packages have gone slightly backwards this week. 13:35 - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRDHPxGBHqM6XkT_S8ggtYfD0xchKSUD_z9PopNVE3G1rU05fVSnxDGcDsEstl7gu7N-tzCU6mLUp2V/pubchart?oid=254968654&format=interactive 13:35 door 1 sec 13:36 back 13:36 * willcooke checks rls bugs 13:36 I'll ask him about https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1758035 tomorrow 13:36 Ubuntu bug 1758035 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu Bionic) "[regression] gnome-shell crashed with SIGTRAP in g_realloc_n() from g_log_structured()" [High,Confirmed] 13:37 #topic jbicha 13:37 guess jbicha isn't around today 13:38 #topic jibel / heber 13:38 - Ubuntu-report: 13:38 - done stored procedures to aggregate and export collected data 13:38 - Started work on the dashboard. 13:38 - Daily bug triaging 13:38 done 13:38 thanks jibel.
