13:35 <jibel> * Gnome Shell performance:

13:35 <jibel> - Proposed a Debian update https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/mutter/merge_requests/13 from

13:35 <jibel> . Merged and rewrote the Ubuntu hardware acceleration fixes to work with it.

13:36 <jibel> - Presently trying to figure out what went wrong with gdm3/mutter updates this week (help!?):
13:36 <jibel> . https://launchpad.net/bugs/1786883
13:36 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1786883 in mutter (Ubuntu) "[regression] Login screen flickers to black a few times on boot and then finally settles on using Xorg instead of Wayland. No Wayland login option." [High,New]
13:36 <jibel> . https://launchpad.net/bugs/1786872

13:37 <jibel> #topic heber
13:37 <heber> hey!
13:37 <heber> * Fixing utah desktop tests.
13:37 <heber> * Start preparing nvidia testing plan

13:37 <jibel> Thanks heber
13:37 <jibel> #topic jamesh
13:38 <jibel> pulseaudio:
13:38 <jibel> * The 1:12.2-0ubuntu2 release with the new Snap policy module is now in Cosmic.
13:38 <jibel> * Before working on backporting it, jdstrand noticed a problem in the module's
13:38 <jibel> logic related to classic snaps:
13:38 <jibel> https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/pulseaudio-recording/6361/14?u=jamesh -- classic
13:38 <jibel> snapped apps will have an AppArmor label, but may not include plugs for the
13:38 <jibel> relevant interfaces.  This is a relatively simple modification to what I did
13:38 <jibel> for -0ubuntu2, so we should have a -0ubuntu3 out soon.
13:38 <jibel> * The policy module needs to be back ported to bionic and xenial.  Bionic
13:38 <jibel> should be trivial, but it is hard to say how hard xenial will be due to the
13:38 <jibel> version skew.
13:38 <jibel> fontconfig cache
13:39 <jibel> * I am investigating why snapped apps are rebuilding fontconfig caches for
13:39 <jibel> directories that have already been cached.  I still don't have a definite
13:39 <jibel> cause, but the access() calls it makes seems like they can give inaccurate
13:39 <jibel> results with AppArmor.  It needs further investigation.
13:39 <jibel> For further work, Ken asked me to start looking into the crash reporting
13:39 <jibel> situation for snaps.  The immediate goal is to have something good enough to
13:39 <jibel> handle the snaps in the default install.  But even with that limitation, it
13:39 <jibel> will require changes in multiple projects.  The initial goal is to get
13:39 <jibel> snapcraft to produce a collection of detached debug symbols matching a snap
13:39 <jibel> build, and for apport to correctly identify a crash from a snap confined
13:39 <jibel> process.
13:39 <jibel> EOW
13:39 <jibel> Thanks James
13:40 <jibel> No update for jbicha
13:40 <jibel> #topic jibel

13:50 <jibel> Trevinho, apparently so, sorry
13:50 <jibel> lets finish with the rls bugs and go back to you
13:50 <jibel> only bug 1552792 in the tracking ones, anyone any comment ?
13:50 <ubot5> bug 1552792 in packagekit (Ubuntu Cosmic) "gnome software leaves dependencies installed" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1552792
13:51 <seb128> I talked to Robert about that one
13:51 <seb128> he has the fix for cosmic and said it needs testing before being SRUed if we want it
13:51 <seb128> which I guess means "it's on track"
13:51 <jibel> I can test in cosmic
13:51 <Laney> that bug should be assigned
13:52 <Laney> oh it is
13:52 <jibel> shouldn't it be fixed committed or released in cosmic ?
13:53 <jibel> nevermind I'll talk to robert for testing in cosmic
13:53 <Laney> if it is one of those then it should
13:53 <jibel> anything else on rls bugs ?

13:55 <jibel> Thanks Trevinho
13:56 <jibel> Laney, what about b? the list of incoming is empty and tracking is very long. http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/rls-mgr/rls-bb-tracking-bug-tasks.html#
13:56 <Laney> well we listed cc-incoming even though it was empty
13:57 <Laney> and not sure a list being long means it should be skipped
13:57 <Laney> but 🤷
13:57 <seb128> we settled on reviewing the unassigned one unless they are fix commited
13:57 <jibel> Those not fixed in cosmic and in bb should be tagged cc, those fixed in cosmic and worth an SRU tagged bb and anything else removed IMHO
