Working on integrating canonical-livepatch in the installer 14:33 <andyrock> 3. Investigating what needs to be done in order to provide a Ubuntu SSO experience with gnome-online-accounts 14:33 <andyrock> eow 14:33 <kenvandine> thanks 14:34 <kenvandine> #topic dgadomski 14:34 <dgadomski> hey 14:34 <dgadomski> working on bug #1644662 and bug #1743422 14:34 <ubot5> bug 1644662 in unity-control-center (Ubuntu) "Icons missing when appearance setting is "high contrast"" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1644662 14:34 <ubot5> bug 1743422 in unity (Ubuntu) "The launcher reveal doesn't always work when moving the pointer to the defined hot spot" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1743422 14:34 <dgadomski> eof 14:34 <kenvandine> cool 14:34 <kenvandine> #topic didrocks 14:34 <didrocks> * Rebased ubuntu dock on latest master + some bug fixes. Uploaded to bionic. 14:34 <didrocks> * Contributed to travis.debian.net to support ubuntu! Hook that up in the communitheme work (to ensure every PR can at least build the sass code): https://github.com/lamby/travis.debian.net/pull/56 and https://github.com/lamby/travis.debian.net/pull/55. 14:34 <didrocks> * Pinged on the session discussion, didn't hear back yet. Meanwhile, implemented the "can disable session mode extension" instead of forcing them, and ensure -prefs reflect the correct status. This was the minimal agreement. Also, the widgets are disabled in -prefs if the gsettings keys aren't writable. Will need to update Tweaks and chrome extensions for this, but wait on upstream's feedback. 14:34 <didrocks> * Was pinged by Google as our codelab markdown support (https://tutorials.ubuntu.com) is better than their. They want it for Google I/O. I didn't have time to write tests at the time that's why I didn't contribute it back (I have other contributions to upstream codelabs). They will write the tests, so rebased and opened https://github.com/googlecodelabs/tools/pull/33. 14:34 <didrocks> * Got an icon and pinged again upstream for sound above 100%. Now, it's on the GNOME Shell review list! 14:34 <didrocks> * Look and read various changes proposed at GNOME Shell design hackfest. 14:34 <didrocks> * GCI finale reviews and help and cast my vote for winners. 14:34 <didrocks> * GNOME Todos MIR. 14:34 <didrocks> ? 14:34 <didrocks> . ;) 14:35 <kenvandine> thx didrocks 14:35 <kenvandine> #topic duflu (out) 14:35 <kenvandine> * PulseAudio update 1:11.1-1ubuntu4 14:35 <kenvandine> - Stuck in proposed due to never-ending testing? http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/proposed-migration/bionic/update_excuses.html#pulseaudio 14:35 <kenvandine> * Bluetooth: 14:35 <kenvandine> - Not really bluez, but FYI a major fix for Bluetooth on artful with Intel 8260/8265 (ie. impacting many systems) was released this week: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1729389 14:35 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1729389 in linux (Ubuntu) "[Intel 8260/8265] Bluetooth peripherals work for a few seconds, then don't react" [High,Confirmed] 14:35 <kenvandine> * Unresponsive touchpads (https://launchpad.net/bugs/1696929) 14:35 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1696929 in libinput (Ubuntu Bionic) "Touchpads are unresponsive and laggy for small finger movements" [High,In progress] 14:35 <kenvandine> - Put together a new patch for bionic, and tested on some laptops. 14:35 <kenvandine> - Now in proposed!, again: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libinput 14:35 <kenvandine> * Gnome Shell performance work: 14:35 <kenvandine> - Great progress this week in reducing gnome-shell's CPU usage. Proposed two upstream fixes: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1743976 14:35 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1743976 in gnome-shell-extension-ubuntu-dock (Ubuntu) "gnome-shell is wasting CPU repainting unchanging panels" [Medium,In progress] 14:35 <kenvandine> - Stuttering: Annoyingly I've found app stuttering is completely consistent, but also machine-specific and app-specific. Each machine stutters reliably on its own period, different to other machines. So I'm still trying to narrow down all the variables. Also still considering the possibility that high CPU (or realtime blockage) is related. 14:35 <kenvandine> * Gnome Shell minor visual fixes: 14:35 <kenvandine> - Upstream fix pending (also helps reduce CPU usage): https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-shell/+bug/1744001 14:35 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1744001 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Expanded panel menus don't fade out cleanly on close" [Low,In progress] 14:35 <kenvandine> * Daily bug management across gnome-shell, mutter, gdm3, ubuntu-themes, bluez, pulseaudio, dkms, mir, wayland, totem, mpv, libinput. 14:35 <kenvandine> * HELP: Fixes still awaiting sponsorship: 14:35 <kenvandine> - https://code.launchpad.net/~vanvugt/gtk/fix-1698270/+merge/331846 14:36 <kenvandine> - https://code.launchpad.net/~vanvugt/totem/fix-1502476/+merge/333195 14:36 <kenvandine> whoops... that was racy :) 14:36 <kenvandine> #topic jbicha 14:36 <jbicha> • Migrated Debian GNOME git repos from Alioth to https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/ 14:36 <jbicha> • Also helped Debian Fonts team with migration to Salsa 14:36 <jbicha> • Renamed d-conf source package to dconf to match upstream name and hopefully eventually reduce confusion.
