15:33 <willcooke> #topic andyrock
15:33 <andyrock> hey all
15:33 <andyrock> I'm working on the redrawing/damaging issue with unity+nux+compiz
15:33 <andyrock> i discovered that it's not just about the cursor
15:34 <andyrock> but that're other cases where we basically redraw randomly
15:34 <andyrock> like if you open once the shortcut overlay we redraw the shortcut overlay even if it's hidden
15:34 <andyrock> that's a shame
15:35 <andyrock> I've already a fix for that (I'll propose it later today)
15:35 <andyrock> right now I'm working on the cursor redraw issue and more in general trying to understand what's going on when the dash and the hud are open
15:36 <andyrock> we redraw for no reason and that's can cause slowness
15:36 <andyrock> and also reviews
15:36 <andyrock> \eof
15:36 <willcooke> thanks andyrock
15:36 <willcooke> andyrock, how are you set for a quick review tomorrow at 10am UTC?
15:37 <andyrock> I've class but should not be a problem
15:37 <seb128> andyrock, nice to see work on those redraw issue!
15:37 <willcooke> andyrock thanks
15:37 <willcooke> #topic attente
15:37 <andyrock> seb128 I can't promise to fix them all but I'll try :D
15:38 <attente> hi guys
15:38 <attente> debugged/fixed some broken maliit-framework tests
15:38 <attente> suppress some unused parameter warnings in gdbus-codegen output, filed upstream
15:38 <attente> packaged maliit-framework and maliit-inputcontext-gtk (<- needs sponsoring), fixed up packaging branch which was out-of-date
15:38 <attente> want to move QT_IM_MODULE out of livecd-rootfs and into somewhere else, but not really sure where it should go to have it set under u8
15:38 <attente> updated java non-latin shortcuts ppa for bug #1226962, might try to merge it despite it not being perfect
15:38 <ubot5> bug 1226962 in unity-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) "Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1226962

15:41 <desrt> hi xclaesse :)

15:41 <desrt> there's a nautilus/trash segfault again? :(
15:41 <desrt> can you link me?
15:41 <seb128> the one I sent a patch for
15:41 <desrt> probably we want to fix this in stable and not have to wait for unstable
15:41 <seb128> you didn't do a release since
15:41 <desrt> oh
15:41 <desrt> about the release
15:41 <desrt> gotcha :)

15:43 <willcooke> #topic didrocks
15:43 <didrocks> Ubuntu Make:
15:43 <didrocks> - Reviewed and merged CLion work by a new contributor \o/
15:43 <didrocks> - Added medium and large tests to it
15:43 <didrocks> - Cut the large tests time by half while adding even more tests \o/ (jenkins + tests enhancements)
15:43 <didrocks> - Move build dependencies only needed for tests to another ppa (ppa:ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu-make-builddeps) and add it in jenkins tests. This way, people using Ubuntu Make on older release are not impacted by the need of newer version of tests frameworks like pexpect and won't install them. Hook that ppa in Travis CI, our jenkins infra and refresh contributor intro to ask adding that ppa for testing.
15:43 <didrocks> - Add ZSH completion
15:43 <didrocks> - Fight some jenkins specific + proxy issues while learning more about some os.environ black magic (thanks pitti, even some python god I knew weren't aware about that :p)
15:43 <didrocks> - Fix Visual Studio Code which changed its icon path (detected through our testsuite)
15:43 <didrocks> - Misc fixes and enhancements for i18n, test standardization and jenkins branch build support (mostly described in https://github.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-make/commit/1469477890a10eba2b17d74d461c22567c24838c and incoming blog post)
15:43 <didrocks> Misc:
15:43 <didrocks> - Help Laney on and appstream-dep11 fixing some issues when running in virtualenv
15:43 <didrocks> - MIR ptyprocess to unblock pexpect 4.0 (which was build-dep wait)
15:43 <didrocks> - Small britney wording consistency work )<-- this extra parenthesis is dedicated to Laney <3
15:43 <didrocks> - Worked and gather topics and bug reports for Google Code-in students.
15:43 <didrocks> .
15:43 <willcooke> another new contributor :D
15:44 <willcooke> thanks for you work on the Code In project too
15:44 <didrocks> yep \o/
15:44 <didrocks> yw

15:49 <larsu> seb128: don't get correct font size when logging in, sometimes
15:49 <larsu> really annoying
15:49 <seb128> hum, k
15:49 <seb128> I never noticed
15:49 <larsu> I've had it a couple of times now, but not every time
15:49 <larsu> couldn't find anything that could be causing this though :(
15:50 <seb128> :-(
15:50 <seb128> and speaking about gnome-logs ... we said we wanted to install it by default right?
15:50 <larsu> yes
15:50 <larsu> I have that on my todo for a but later but helped out since I was pinged anyway
15:50 <seb128> great
15:50 <larsu> I think it's </larsu>
15:51 <seb128> we should stop bothering you with bugs and have a look to gnome-logs and geonames
15:51 <larsu> :)
15:51 <seb128> before eoy, so we get new components in
15:51 <willcooke> thanks larsu
15:51 <seb128> then we can go back to bugs
15:51 <larsu> seb128: makes sense. lts and all
15:51 <seb128> right
15:51 <willcooke> yeah, good plan
15:51 <Laney> well I tried assigning them instead of pinging ;-)
15:51 <seb128> willcooke, sorry for interrupting with questions and comment
15:51 <willcooke> :) no worries, good time to comment I think

15:52 <qengho> * working on chromium/ozone/mir this week.
15:52 <qengho> * require more information about Laney's crunch creams. furiously envious.

15:52 <qengho> EOF
15:52 <willcooke> thanks qengho
15:53 <willcooke> did you get to the bottom of why hyperlinks from other apps are broken?  Is that the xdg-utils thing?
15:53 <qengho> willcooke: right. xdg-mime bug.
15:53 <willcooke> cool
15:53 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:53 <seb128> kenvandine is patch piloting today so maybe he can review xdg-utils merge/update
15:54 <seb128> otherwise didrocks has a shift on friday
15:54 <seb128> oh
15:54 <seb128> hey ;-)
15:54 <seb128> • debugged u-s-d segfault due to a gsettings schemas key dropped from g-s-d
15:54 <seb128> • uploaded gnome-control-center move of user icons data to u-c-c, allowing demoting the source to universe
15:54 <seb128> • fixed small gedit document title regression
15:54 <seb128> • looked at some langpack translations regression on the ota8 touch candidate
15:54 <seb128> • discussed indicator-sound/notify-osd regression, helped to test and land the fix from Lars (thanks!)
15:54 <seb128> • reported some bugs+code changes to make some phone dialogs more consistent
15:54 <seb128> • libmobiledevice transition
15:54 <seb128> • looked at the vino update, decided there was too much to revert (they dropped the standalone dialogs) and that it was easier to keep ours and backport some bugfixes, did that
15:54 <seb128> • spending a bit of time every day to review/triage incoming bugs/errors and help with ongoing britney issues and transitions
15:54 <seb128> • looked at/fixed some gedit theming issues (just got a patch commited upstream)
15:54 <seb128> • continued a bit on the nautilus 3.18 update, not an easy update and still quite some work needed
15:54 <seb128> • spend some time looking at if backporting the upstream g-s-d wacom work to u-s-d was possible, it's a bit work and unsure it's worth the effort
15:54 <seb128> • started backporting new g-s-d upstream "tz plugin" to u-s-d (to update your tz/notify you that you are in a different tz when travelling), I think I got the changes right but I'm unsure how to test and if we want it (note that it also means installing the new geoclue service)
15:54 <seb128> </week>
15:54 <seb128> (sorry, busy week ;-)
15:55 <willcooke> thanks serb

15:58 <tkamppeter> - Ghostscript: Checked status of MIRs for syncing with Debian: openjpeg still missing (but now chances are higher that it gets into Main as Poppler needs it, too).
15:58 <tkamppeter> - Set up a Xenial virtual machine (Used "devel" as distro name in sources.list to automatically always use current devel branch).
15:58 <seb128> somebody should offer Sweet5hark1 an alarm reminder device

16:03 <seb128> we need that for our $solution
16:03 <seb128> willcooke, did you try/look at both?
16:03 <Laney> you mean the thunderbird one?
16:04 <willcooke> seb128, I haven't looked at either
16:04 * willcooke adds it to his list
16:04 * didrocks just tried it
16:04 <didrocks> remember that I added some easy task for google-code-in
16:05 <didrocks> don't jump on them before we are sure nobody will work on it :)

16:05 <didrocks> (like changing default color, and so on)
16:05 <seb128> right
16:05 <Laney> where is this list?
