Thanks. 14:41 <seb128> Wimpress, I would welcome team opinion on the change 14:41 <seb128> I'm fine doing it if we want to be estar 8 compliant, and we probably want? 14:41 <Wimpress> The OEM power change? 14:41 <seb128> I personally find autosuspend on ac annoying... 14:41 <seb128> yes 14:42 <Wimpress> I agree that staying compliant with eSTAR is the right thing to do. 14:42 <seb128> 'power sleep-inactive-ac-timeout to 1200 (20 minutes) as default to meet the Power Management Requirements of Energy Star Computers Specification Version 8.0.' 14:42 <seb128> k 14:42 <Laney> what 14:42 <Wimpress> Any other desktopers have an opinion on that? 14:42 <seb128> autosuspend on 20 min idle sucks from an user experience though 14:42 <Wimpress> Yep. 14:43 <seb128> well I guess it depends what you use, but if you have e;g and IRC client open 14:43 <didrocks> I don’t really like either autosuspend after 20 min when you are on AC… 14:43 <Wimpress> The other option is the the OEM team carry their own gschema override. 14:43 <oSoMoN> complying with the spec seems sensible, even if I tend to agree that autosuspend on AC isn't something I would expect 14:43 <didrocks> I can understand the compliance regulation though 14:43 <Laney> what is this spec? 14:43 <seb128> Wimpress, I guess it's up to you to decide on whether we do that an OEM image setting or a default Ubuntu one 14:43 <seb128> Laney, https://www.energystar.gov/products/spec/computers_version_8_0_pd 14:44 <Wimpress> New device shipped with Ubuntu from OEMs should comply with that. 14:44 <Laney> feels like a bit of a crappy default to me 14:44 <seb128> k 14:44 <Wimpress> Hence the request. 14:44 <seb128> so I think you got the team consensus 14:44 <Wimpress> It is a setting a would change for sure. 14:44 <seb128> we don't like it 14:45 <seb128> Wimpress, now your call on OEM only or not 14:45 <Wimpress> OK. I'll ask the OEM team to carry their own override. 14:45 <seb128> thanks 14:45 <seb128> (I guess it means win10 also default to that on new laptops now?) 14:46 <Laney> (don't forget to rls-ff-notfixing / close the bug too) 14:46 <Wimpress> Yep and macOS. But only if the intend to comply with the spec. 14:47 <seb128> k, let's move on I guess 14:48 <Wimpress> OK, bug updated and closed. 14:48 <Wimpress> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1866044 14:48 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1866044 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "gnome-shell crashed with signal 5 in clutter_box_layout_allocate() ("ClutterBoxLayout child Gjs_ui_shellEntry_CapsLockWarning natural height: 0.000000 < minimum 24.000000 for width ...") when enable-animations=false" [High,Fix committed] 14:48 <Wimpress> Fixed upstream it appears. 14:49 <Trevinho> in the ppa waiting for icu transition... 14:49 <seb128> Trevinho, that ppa landed earlier today 14:49 <seb128> well, in focal proposed 14:49 <seb128> set it to fix commited now I guess 14:49 <Laney> it is! 14:49 <Wimpress> OK, so it will autoclose soon. 14:49 <Trevinho> yeah, so well s/ppa/proposed 14:50 <Wimpress> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1807276 14:50 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1807276 in gnome-shell (Ubuntu) "Cannot open Onscreen Keyboard in Xorg" [Medium,Triaged] 14:50 <Wimpress> Mark as rls-notfixing. 14:50 <Wimpress> I'll remove the champagne bug. 14:50 <Laney> yup 14:51 <Wimpress> http://launchpad.net/bugs/1865845 14:51 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1865845 in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) "No UI indication for fingerprint enrolling progress" [Low,Incomplete] 14:52 <Wimpress> Trevinho: Is that one for you? 14:52 <seb128> oem cares about it, we should at least accomodate for the change asked in the most recent comment imhp 14:52 <seb128> imho 14:52 <Wimpress> Looks trivial. 14:52 <Trevinho> Wimpress: yeah 14:52 <Trevinho> although.... 14:52 <seb128> so +1 for nominating/assigning to Trevinho 14:52 <Trevinho> there's some design to do IMHO 14:52 <Trevinho> that view is crap, talk later 14:52 <Wimpress> Thanks.

I will wait for 3.36 to land. 15:11 <seb128> Wimpress, sorry, your turn now :p 15:11 <Laney> sry got called away 15:11 <Wimpress> seb128: I am happy to help with GNOME packaging work. 15:11 <Laney> I noticed that Daniel has been unassigning himself from rls bugs 15:11 <seb128> Wimpress, great, let's talk after the meeting then 15:11 <Wimpress> Sadly, our plan for me to learn from you in Frankfurt got delayed. 15:11 <seb128> Laney, which ones? 15:11 <Laney> should we have ... a ... converstaion about that? :-) 15:11 <Laney> oh gosh 15:11 <Wimpress> If you can spare the time, I'm happy to do some. 15:11 <Laney> I can find out if you want 15:12 <seb128> Laney, plymouth ones? 15:12 <seb128> or others? 15:12 <Laney> could be 15:12 <seb128> (I've the plymouth work on my list) 15:12 <Wimpress> OK 15:12 <Wimpress> One is for Trevinho about X11 fractional scaling. 15:12 <Wimpress> We agree to proceed. 15:12 <Wimpress> Do you have what you need? 15:12 <seb128> no 15:13 <seb128> Robert sent an email, he has the patch done 15:13 <seb128> but we didn't get the string from design 15:13 <Wimpress> OK 15:13 <seb128> can you chase that? 15:13 <Wimpress> Add to my list of design chase requests. 15:13 <Wimpress> I will. 15:13 <seb128> thanks 15:13 <seb128> Laney, the one I was thinking about is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1867909 but wasn't rls tracking 15:13 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1865161 in casper (Ubuntu Focal) "duplicate for #1867909 Written "press return to shutdown the computer" does not appear." [Critical,Confirmed] 15:14 <seb128> Laney, I will mention to him that he shouldn't unassign himself from rls assigned bugs though 15:15 <Laney> thx 15:15 <Trevinho> So... on that g-c-c thing, I submitted a bug on upstream design https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/settings-mockups/-/issues/18 but well, I assume we can't wait for that to be fully addressed, but we have to fix this ourselves, mostly because the current view (other than ugly) makes impossible to have some drivers (i.e. godix, i.e. xps13) to do proper enrollment as they need more stages 15:15 <Wimpress> I want to preserve flicker free boot. How optimistic are we feeling about fixing it? 15:15 <Trevinho> than the UI can. So I think we'd need some UIFe for it. 15:15 <seb128> Wimpress, I'm more optimistic now that I was when Dimitri raise the problems 15:16 <Laney> 7 minutes, pfft, these people are LAZY! 15:16 <Wimpress> Can you file the UIFe please Trevinho 15:16 <Trevinho> ok 15:16 <seb128> Wimpress, it would help if someone could confirm fsck integration was/is still working with the 'old' ubuntu-logo theme 15:16 <seb128> I'm not convinced that's a theme regression 15:16 <Wimpress> Understood. 15:16 <seb128> I can't get it to work with the old theme either 15:17 <Wimpress> I will ask some community members to assist with testing. 15:17 <seb128> also if anyone has some debugging/hacking clue on how to similate the liveCD boot mode that would be useful 15:18 <Wimpress> What do you mean by that? 15:18 <seb128> Daniel didn't really manage to find a way to get a debug setup working for that it looks like 15:18 <seb128> Wimpress, the ISO boot doing the checksum 15:18 <Wimpress> Is testing in an EFI boot VM suitable? 15:18 <seb128> unsure if that can be emulated from an active system or something you can ssh to 15:18 <seb128> so get debug info, poke, etc 15:19 <Wimpress> I have flicker free boot working in QEMU. 15:19 <seb128> well it's rather being able to get a ssh prompt/command line at the time the issue is happening 15:19 <seb128> right 15:19 <Wimpress> I see. 15:19 <seb128> but to be able to debug why the checksum messages are not showing it would help to have a command line at that time 15:19 <seb128> neither Daniel or I are familiar with liveCD/iso debuggign though 15:19 <seb128> but probably not a meeting topic either 15:19 <Laney> there won't be network at that time 15:21 <Wimpress> So, something to investigate them. 15:21 <seb128> Wimpress, anyway, I just wanted to mention that, end of the plymouth topic I think 15:21 <Wimpress> Anything else? 15:21 <seb128> not from me 15:21 <hellsworth> nothing here 15:21 <Wimpress> One last thing. 15:22 <Wimpress> We're all going to be impacted by COVID19 in some way or other in the coming weeks/months. 15:22 <Laney> Trevinho: If you get some design work done by Canonical on that bug, please try to get them to do it on Gitlab rather than the Ubuntu wiki or a Google doc or anywhere weird like that ... :) 15:22 <Wimpress> If you need anything, let me or your manager know so we help. 15:23 <hellsworth> thank you Wimpress 15:23 <Trevinho> Laney: yeah, I wish I could.. Wimpress any string I can pull to get that? 15:24 <Laney> thanks Wimpress! 15:24 <Wimpress> Trevinho: I'll get you "the best words" today. 15:24 <Wimpress> Right, all done then? 15:25 <Laney> yus 15:25 <seb128> looks like it 15:25 <Wimpress> Yep. 15:25 <Trevinho> yep 15:25 <Wimpress> Thanks everyone. 15:25 <Wimpress> #endmeeting
