15:43 <willcooke> #topic Laney
15:43 <Laney> actually was more curious about the visa bit :P
15:43 <Laney> oh yeah
15:43 <Laney> this
15:43 <Laney> • Short week - back from holidays
15:43 <Laney> • Before I went away I uploaded the new default wallpaper, still waiting for a less banded version to replace the current one with.
15:43 <Laney> • I also worked (also this week) on charming up the new asgen - the charm basically works now, but there are some bugs
15:44 <Laney> ∘ a memory leak that makes it get OOM killed
15:44 <Laney> ∘ some problems with thread safety (fixed upstream)
15:44 <Laney> ∘ frontend is being hit by openstack being broken - I can't assign an IP to the instance (internal RT #95804 for interested nerds/jocks)
15:44 <Laney> • Did the small appstream 0.10 transition quickly after the FFe got approved (todo: backport to xenial-backports)
15:44 <Laney> • Oh I did (and reviewed) some theme bugfixes too (including https://code.launchpad.net/~willcooke/ubuntu-themes/hidpiicons/+merge/305219 which needs some small fixes)
15:44 <Laney> • davmor2: it's the same on xenial - something weird there!
15:44 <Laney> 🛄
15:44 <willcooke> thanks Laney - I'll take a look at those fixes
15:44 <Laney> r0x0r
15:44 <willcooke> #topic qengho
15:44 <qengho> Happy Tuesday, y'all.
15:44 <qengho> * in-progress: new chromium upstream 53.0.2785.113. fine in yakkety, but crash in xenial amd64! memory allocator? Debugging.
15:44 <qengho> * in-progress: browser snap test, GPU issues, printing still not working.
15:44 <qengho> * to-do: armhf rasppi chromium crash. Old bug, but needs to be fixed.
15:44 <qengho> EOF
15:45 <willcooke> thanks qengho
15:45 <willcooke> Did the API changes get a final fix yet?
15:45 <davmor2> Laney: just looked odd so I just wanted a confirmation that it was meant to look like that
15:45 <qengho> No. I need to find out about Firefox. I ignored it yesterday.
15:46 <willcooke> qengho, ack
15:46 <willcooke> thx
15:46 <willcooke> #topic seb128
15:46 <willcooke> � one vac day
15:46 <willcooke> � some patch piloting (not a full shift but cleaned a bit and got some
15:46 <willcooke> things uploaded for yakkety)
15:46 <willcooke> � several rounds of reviewing the unity8-mirs-stack and testing on the
15:46 <willcooke> daily iso
15:46 <willcooke> � NEW reviews for the touch team
15:46 <willcooke> � yakkety daily iso testing

15:46 <willcooke> � joined some snappy discussions (mostly about xdg-open)
15:46 <willcooke> #topic Sweet5hark1
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> - two days vacation
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> - updated libreoffice snap to 5.2.1
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- first attempt rejected: had no .desktop entries while using unity7 (neither had previous uploads, so moving goalposts a bit here)
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- added .desktop files after hunting for some docs where they are supposed to be
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- ran into bug 1623580, worked around it by providing .desktop files different from what is documented
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- filed bug 1625656, as static desktop files arent sustainable in the long run for LibreOffice and likely a lot of others who have non-trivial l10n in desktop files
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- also noted two new deprecation warnings from snapcraft since the last 5.2.0 build. IMHO that (combined with the rejection due to missing .desktop files which never where there) hints at the danger that we do a lintianification of snap (which will discourage volunteers)
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> - looked into bug 1619442
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- verified this is a gtk2 backend only issue
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- gtk2 is phased out and only provided as an emergency fallback from yakkety onwards, so dropped severity from High->Medium
15:46 <Sweet5hark1> -- might look into disabling gmenumodel/unity integration for gtk2 if this fixes the issue

15:47 <willcooke> #topic TheMuso
15:47 <willcooke> * Worked on getting the terminal app in a deacent state for upload to yakkety. Afaik popey is handling the paperwork. Bug 1623845.
15:47 <willcooke> * Worked out that Orca is usable in oem-config mode under Xenial but not Yakkety. I suspect an a11y stack regression somewhere, not pursuing for yakkety at this point. However, to make things work properly in oem-config mode to allow a user to select a profile during first setup, an extra script will need to be added to ubiquity. No bug yet, plan to file that in coming days.
15:47 <willcooke> * Looked at getting a hold of some bluetooth hardware to track down the various bluetooth audio bugs we have, one being bug 1574324.
