Redesigned and fixed multi-monitor support in the Wayland vsync branch (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/171) 13:35 <kenvandine> - Started profiling and optimizing mouse movement (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/189) 13:35 <kenvandine> because it sounds like that's the main issue blocking the input lag fix (https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/168). 13:35 <kenvandine> Although in my opinion it's not really a blocker and landing 168 sooner is more important (see below). 13:35 <kenvandine> * Gnome Shell other: 13:35 <kenvandine> - Successful upstream landings: 13:35 <kenvandine> . https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/commit/b393f3d540 13:35 <kenvandine> - Now preparing a patchset for Debian with at least: 13:36 <kenvandine> . https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/117 13:36 <kenvandine> . https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/merge_requests/168 13:36 <kenvandine> * PulseAudio: 13:36 <kenvandine> - Prepared upgrade to PulseAudio 12.2 - awaiting sponsorship: https://launchpad.net/bugs/1785551 13:36 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1785551 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Upgrade to PulseAudio 12.2 in cosmic" [Wishlist,Fix released] 13:36 <kenvandine> * Daily bug management: 13:36 <kenvandine> - Completed another significant bug review, but the chart won't show most of the improvement till October... 13:36 <kenvandine> - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vRDHPxGBHqM6XkT_S8ggtYfD0xchKSUD_z9PopNVE3G1rU05fVSnxDGcDsEstl7gu7N-tzCU6mLUp2V/pubchart?oid=254968654&format=interactive 13:36 <kenvandine> #topic jamesh 13:36 <kenvandine> pulseaudio/snap-policy: 13:36 <kenvandine> * I've got the snap policy module to a working state, using snapd-glib 13:36 <kenvandine> in a separate thread: 13:36 <kenvandine> https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesh/pulseaudio/+git/pulseaudio/+merge/352558 13:36 <kenvandine> * As the changes were non trivial, I'm going to seek a review before 13:36 <kenvandine> trying to get this landed. 13:36 <kenvandine> * At the moment, the module uses the legacy /v2/interfaces mode that 13:36 <kenvandine> requests every connection on the system and filters it client side. 13:36 <kenvandine> The version of the API that provides snapd side filtering doesn't 13:36 <kenvandine> provide enough information to do what we want. 13:36 <kenvandine> * Updated the forum thread to see what we want to do on the snapd 13:36 <kenvandine> side: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/pulseaudio-recording/6361/12?u=jamesh 13:37 <kenvandine> snapd-glib/interface-info: 13:37 <kenvandine> * I'm addressing the review comments from Robert on 13:37 <kenvandine> https://github.com/snapcore/snapd-glib/pull/40 13:37 <kenvandine> * The snapd API doesn't quite do what I needed for the Pulse Audio 13:37 <kenvandine> patches (while it does offer server side filtering, it doesn't tell us 13:37 <kenvandine> whether the plugs/slots are connected). So it might be worth working 13:37 <kenvandine> on a snapd side patch before locking down the C API. 13:37 <kenvandine> snapd: 13:37 <kenvandine> * I've got a few PRs that need to be some attention. With the Pulse 13:37 <kenvandine> Audio stuff mostly done, I need to check up on these to fix any 13:37 <kenvandine> bitrot. 13:37 <kenvandine> #topic heber 13:38 <jibel> I'll report for QA 13:38 <jibel> - Release 16.04.5 on Aug. 2nd 13:38 <jibel> - Continued 16.04 to 18.04 upgrade tests and triaged upgrade bugs 13:38 <jibel> - Looked at ukuu (https://github.com/teejee2008/ukuu) as a way to manage kernels and how to extend it for hwe kernels and started work to package it as a snap. 13:38 <jibel> - Adding “Installation Media” and upgrade metrics to the dashboard 13:38 <jibel> done 13:38 <kenvandine> jibel, ok, that includes for heber this week? 13:38 <jibel> yes 13:38 <kenvandine> thx 13:38 <kenvandine> #topic kenvandine 13:38 <jibel> we'll split next week 13:39 <kenvandine> * Fixed deprecations in snap packaging for GNOME snaps that are upstream. Also fixed some build failures with the transition to meson. 13:39 <kenvandine> * Working on respinning the hyper-v Ubuntu Desktop image based on 18.04.1 13:39 <kenvandine> * libxcursors had a security update in xenial, need to rebuild all the snaps today to pull that in. 13:39 <kenvandine> ⚾ 13:39 <kenvandine> #topic laney 13:39 <Laney> • was at debconf most of this time 13:39 <Laney> • updates of g-s-d, g-c-c, gnome-shell, mutter, glib2.0 13:39 <Laney> ∘ glib thanks to being stricter and packages having autopkgtests found bugs in ruby-gnome2, appstream - fixed both upstream 13:39 <Laney> • SRU reviewing, feedback and eventual sponsoring 13:39 <Laney> • messed around with my gpg key since it expired without me noticing that was going to happen, can't upload to debian atm 13:39 <Laney> • fixed an appstream-generator crash due to a bug in libappstream 13:39 <Laney> • updated budgie-desktop to new mutter api, submitted upstream but looking to patch so new shell can go in cosmic 13:39 <Laney> 🧖 13:40 <kenvandine> thx Laney 13:40 <kenvandine> #topic oSoMoN 13:40 <oSoMoN> hey 13:40 <oSoMoN> • chromium 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ bug #1784395 fixed after I found the right person to talk to at Google, and they kindly bumped our geolocation API quotas without billing enabled 13:40 <ubot5> bug 1784395 in chromium-browser (Ubuntu) "Geolocation stopped working recently in chromium" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1784395 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ opera in the snap store uses chromium-ffmpeg, success 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ updated stable to 68.0.3440.84 (in cosmic, snap in stable channel, and xenial and bionic updates ready and handed over to security team) 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ updated beta to 69.0.3497.23 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ updated dev to 70.0.3510.0 (successfully tested https://swiftshader-review.googlesource.com/c/SwiftShader/+/19608 instead of a distro-patch of mine that reverts recent visibility changes) 13:40 <oSoMoN> • libreoffice 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ promoted 6.0.6 snap to the stable channel 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ built 6.1.0 RC3 snap and published in candidate channel, issued call for testing: https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-libreoffice-6-1-0/6654 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ uploaded 6.0.6-0ubuntu1 to cosmic and preparing SRU for bionic (bug #1785679) 13:40 <ubot5> bug 1785679 in libreoffice (Ubuntu Bionic) "[SRU] libreoffice 6.0.6 for bionic" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1785679 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ fixed bug #1780996 in xenial: uploaded 1:5.1.6~rc2-0ubuntu1~xenial4 13:40 <ubot5> bug 1780996 in libomxil-bellagio (Ubuntu Bionic) "Convert triggers to noawait" [Undecided,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1780996 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ filed bug #1785262 13:40 <ubot5> bug 1785262 in libreoffice (Ubuntu) "arm64 autopkgtests are flaky" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1785262 13:40 <oSoMoN> • gnome-software: 13:40 <oSoMoN> ∘ fixed bug #1775226 13:40 <ubot5> bug 1775226 in gnome-software (Ubuntu Bionic) "[SRU] Gnome Software offers installation of updates on shutdown independently from update-manager and unattended-upgrades" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1775226 13:40 <oSoMoN> - proposed and merged https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Ubuntu/gnome-software/merge_requests/4 13:40 <oSoMoN> - uploaded 3.29.1-0ubuntu6 to cosmic 13:40 <oSoMoN> - updated the bug report for SRU to bionic, and uploaded 3.28.1-0ubuntu4.18.04.3 to bionic-proposed 13:40 <oSoMoN> - the patch doesn't apply against recent master, need to update it 13:41 <oSoMoN> ∘ looked into why snap-store snap in edge channel doesn't get the full experience, it appears that gnome-software uses the appstream plugin to get the lists of installed applications and installable applications, and those are built by reading directly /usr/share/applications and /var/lib/app-info/yaml/*, which are not exposed by snapd, even to a devmode snap 13:41 <oSoMoN> 🌡 13:41 <kenvandine> thx oSoMoN 13:41 <kenvandine> #topic seb128 13:41 <seb128> • reviewed/sponsored nautilus update & SRU from Marco - https://code.launchpad.net/~3v1n0/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+git/nautilus/+merge/350174 13:41 <seb128> • desktop script improvements: generate a report for the desktop-packages set, added some upstream urls, display the code revision used to build the report 13:41 <seb128> • reviewed/cleaned up/completed the ~desktop-packages list (deprecating the old ~desktop-bugs which was creating confusion).
