15:33 <dgadomski> hey
15:33 <dgadomski> * still working on disabling WiFi Direct for iwlwifi devices
15:33 <dgadomski> * looking into a samba issue that's most probably a manifestation of upstream https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12860
15:33 <dgadomski> * working on a landscape&do-release-upgrade conflict (bug #1699179)

15:34 <seb128> #topic didrocks
15:34 <seb128> didrocks,  hey, is your wifi good enough atm to paste your update?
15:34 <seb128> seems not :p
15:34 <seb128> or maybe
15:34 <seb128> didrocks, your turn if you want to copy and if wifi lets you
15:34 <didrocks> hey, let's see :)
15:35 <seb128> :-)
15:35 <didrocks> * Reintroduce ubuntu session as default gnome session (alongside to a new wayland session). Coordinate with other packages to ensure gnome-session isn't installed on desktop by default anymore. Ensure smooth upgrade story (almost done, need the gdm part still for Ubuntu GNOME).
15:35 <didrocks> We now have (or rather, will have):
15:35 <didrocks> Ubuntu session == G-S with Ubuntu tweaks
15:35 <didrocks> Gnome session == upstream vanilla G-S and themes
15:35 <didrocks> Unity session == Unity7 session
15:35 <didrocks> Made several tests on a VM.
15:35 <didrocks> * Handle the whole migration/default seeding/hard to transition due on pep8 autopkgtests failing (fixed update-notifier)
15:35 <didrocks> * Talked about theme snaps on reddit
15:35 <didrocks> * Gave some guidance on tutorials.ubuntu.com code.
15:35 <didrocks> * Reviewed and merge Ken's desktop helper instructions and additional path for new GNOME platform snap.
15:35 <didrocks> * Still some debugging with Amazon GG team. Finally got it to work! Confirming it's a bug on their side though and would require changing /etc/resolv.conf, which we can't :) Asked them for an ETA before publishing a snap.
15:35 <didrocks> * Worked with olli on preparing Linux Tage near Stuttgart. Helping on the workshop, prepared a technical slide deck content and retested our tutorials.
15:35 <didrocks> * Currently thus in Germany delivering this ^. Will be back tomorrow (arriving home late)!
15:35 <didrocks> .
15:35 <seb128> wooot
15:35 <seb128> seems like it worked
15:35 <didrocks> \o/
15:35 <seb128> didrocks, thanks, and good luck with the remaining part of the trip

15:36 <seb128> - Lots more testing and investigation.
15:36 <seb128> - Started to figure out the FFmpeg source, and how hwaccel is meant to work (and why the source code exists but nobody is getting acceleration).
15:36 <seb128> - Made some progress with Intel in figuring out why Wayland seems broken (that will be one of the first bugs to fix).
15:36 <seb128> - Enhanced the documentation with much new wisdom: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntelQuickSyncVideo

15:37 <seb128> #topic jamesh
15:37 <seb128> Wrote patch to get gnome-software to display a warning on the details
15:37 <seb128> page for classic snaps.  Needs review, but will let us add support for
15:37 <seb128> classic snap installation.
15:37 <seb128> Working on better support for picking which app to launch for snaps
15:37 <seb128> that define multiple commands.
15:37 <seb128> Followed up on upstreaming of gnome-builder snap plugin.  I asked the
15:37 <seb128> snappy folks to add the Snapcraft feature request to the agenda of the
15:37 <seb128> sprint.
15:37 <seb128> Nothing new to report on xdg-desktop-portal either.  I asked for the
15:38 <seb128> per-user bind mounts issue to be discussed at the Snappy sprint too.
15:38 <seb128> #topic jibel
15:38 <seb128> jibel, hey
15:38 <jibel> * Evaluated gnome-battery-bench for power testing.

15:38 <jibel> * Investigating automated installer tests broken after the switch to gnome session by default (June 20th) - bug 1700557 - This issue blocks all the automated tests on desktop.

15:38 <jibel> done, the bot was slow
15:39 <seb128> haha
15:39 <seb128> thanks jibel
15:39 <seb128> #topic heber
15:39 <seb128> heber, hey, do you have anything to share or is the update common with jibel, I'm never sure
15:39 <jibel> same as mine
15:39 <heber> hey! Actually jibel already provide the whole status for QA
15:39 <jibel> I pasted for qa
15:39 <heber> thanks!
15:40 <jibel> unless heber wants to add something of course :)
15:40 <heber> no atm
15:40 <seb128> right
15:40 <seb128> thanks heber, jibel
15:40 <seb128> #topic kenvandine
15:40 <seb128> * Published gnome-3-24 snap in stable channel
15:40 <seb128> * Submitted branch to snapcraft-desktop-helpers to handle the update to gnome-3-24 platform, which has been merged
15:40 <seb128> * Worked on the LightDM -> GDM3 transition and determined our initial strategy might be too hard on flavors and existing users.  Sent an email with some ideas to ubuntu-devel list, and got some great feedback.  I think the best approach is:
15:40 <seb128> - In ubuntu-session postinst, check the current session for all users and if any of them are set to 'ubuntu' switch the default to GDM3.
15:41 <seb128> - Make gdm3 depend on ubuntu-session to ensure ubuntu-session postinst is run before gdm3 is configured.  Leaving the prompt in gdm3, which is only shown if gdm3 isn't set as the default already.
15:41 <seb128> #topic Llaney
15:41 <seb128> ups
