[08:17] <seb128> hey Laney
[08:17] <seb128> how is everyone? had a nice weekend?
[08:17] <didrocks> salut seb128
[08:22] <Laney> didrocks: excellent! je suis allé au pub!

[08:25] <didrocks> :)
[08:27] <oSoMoN> salut jibel
[08:28] <oSoMoN> hey Laney, that sounds like an excellent week-end indeed :)
[08:28] <Laney> hey oSoMoN
[08:28] <Laney> first time since before Christmas...
[08:29] <Laney> only outside seating is allowed atm, so blanket / coat / hot water bottle 😬
[08:29] <seb128> Laney, they opened pubs back in the U.K now? nice! here they are talking about maybe on the 28th but they keep delaying as covid figures don't really improve enough
[08:30] <Laney> well it's different for each of the UK nations, I only know what the rules are in England for sure
[08:30] <Laney> marcustomlinson might be able to give the .scot update :p
[08:30] <seb128> :)
[08:30] <Laney> but yeah, since the 17th
[08:30] <seb128> would be nice if they opened back here
[08:30] <Laney> 12th*
[08:30] <seb128> we had a nice weekend, 13°C, sunny and not much wind
[08:31] <seb128> ideal to get a beer on a terrasse ;-)
[08:31] <Laney> indeed
[08:31] <Laney> fingers crossed for the 28
[08:31] <seb128> yep!
[08:31] <seb128> I might try to go back to play some tennis again
[08:31] <seb128> I didn't play for over a year, can't believe it :-/
[08:31] <Laney> wow
[08:32] <Laney> did you do any fitness in the meantime?
[08:32] <Laney> i'm thinking that with climbing, going to be crap for a while
[08:32] <seb128> if running up and down the stairs and after the kids count, yes :p
[08:33] <seb128> otherwise not really, I try to use the bike and go for a run every now and then
[08:33] <seb128> oh well, a bit longer and we can go back to normal hopefully...
[08:36] * Laney keeps watching https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ and https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/ ¬_¬
[08:39] <seb128> tseliot, hey, https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/nvidia-prime-not-powering-off-the-dgpu seems like an issue than get mentioned every now and then, is that still buggy somehow and something we should try to get sorted out?
[08:42] <seb128> tjaalton, bug #1918985 sounds like a fix that might be worth trying to get uploaded today, maybe we have a chance to get it in the release?
[08:42] <ubot3> Bug 1918985 in xserver-xorg-input-libinput (Ubuntu Hirsute) "Xorg crashed with SIGABRT (caught SIGSEGV) in libinput_device_config_send_events_get_modes(device=NULL) from LibinputApplyConfig() from LibinputSetProperty() from XIChangeDeviceProperty()" [High, Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1918985
[08:43] <tjaalton> seb128: I'll try
[08:44] <seb128> thx
[08:45] <seb128> tjaalton, the patch seems easy enough to backport, let me know if you need help, I can do the upload to hirsute if I don't have to bother the Vcs and Debian
[08:45] <tjaalton> there's also 1.0.1 release with that
[08:50] <seb128> tjaalton, new release might be an harder sell to try to get in that late, I haven't seen the diff compared to the current hirsute version though
[08:51] <tjaalton> right
[08:51] <seb128> Laney hinted SRU but I would still queue it sooner in case we can maybe get it in still
[08:51] <seb128> session closing bugs mean potential data loss
[08:52] <seb128> and there are quite some reports for an unstable cycle
=== pieq_ is now known as pieq
[08:55] <tjaalton> uploaded
[08:55] <seb128> thanks!
[09:03] <seb128> bah, desktop-icons-ng calls nautilus --version to check if nautilus is available, which segfaults on Ubuntu due to a distro patch
[09:03] <seb128> bug #1820859
[09:03] <ubot3> Bug 1820859 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "nautilus --version segfaults in g_application_impl_get_dbus_object_path" [High, Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1820859
[09:04] <seb128> nothing new, but now it means every desktop login is going to hit that, maybe one we should try to sort out before release
[09:05] <seb128> Trevinho, ^ do you think you would have chance to work on that today?
[09:05] <seb128> it's due to 19_unity_open_location_xid.patch
[09:27] <seb128>
[09:28] <seb128> jibel, didrocks, bug #1922940 seems to be due to the recovery key change, could you check if that's potentially a release issue?
[09:28] <ubot3> Bug 1922940 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "plugininstall.py: lsblk -lp -oNAME,FSTYPE returned non-zero exit status 32" [Undecided, Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1922940
[09:34] <jibel> seb128, sure
[09:35] <seb128> thx
[09:38] <didrocks> looks like the issue could be with manual partionning
[10:31] <Laney> 😬
[10:31] <Laney> https://people.canonical.com/~laney/weird-things/text.png
[10:31] <Laney> there's some hidden text under the bar
[10:31] <Laney> arghhhh
[10:31] <juliank> Laney: Ah yes
[10:31] <juliank> Laney: You'll see it for a second before the parittion list is loaded
[10:31] <Laney> it's still there!
[10:32] <juliank> Laney: I mean, it will be readable for a second
[10:32] <Laney> juliank: ah
[10:32] <juliank> Laney: Also, whee you trigger the ESP discovery bug where it sets up your install medium's ESP as ESP
[10:32] <Laney> well apparently not present in all cases, don't see it in a VM here
[10:32] <Laney> heh
[10:32] <Laney> that's the one you are fixing right?
[10:33] <juliank> I should actually start fixing it
[10:33] <Laney> yes
[10:33] <juliank> Well I'm going to hack in a "must be 50MB" large check
[10:33] <juliank> A real fix would be for hirsute+1
[10:33] <juliank> map partition to device and then ignore partitions on same device as install /
[10:35] <juliank> What annoys me more is that I can't select keyboard layout when going into a live session, it only asks for language
[10:36] <Laney> you should check and give feedback on the designs for the new installer :-)
[10:40] <juliank> Laney: The text says "Your install medium is .... You will not be able to create or ... on that disk" or something like that
[10:40] <Laney> juliank: the text that's covered up?
[10:41] <juliank> Laney: yeah
[10:41] <Laney> nod
[10:41] <Laney> so it is just that bug?
[10:44] <juliank> Laney: that's a display bug, but I don't know where
[10:47] <Laney> ok
[10:56] <bittin> oSoMoN: installing now thanks
[10:57] <bittin> had a meeting about a potential new job when it was released
[10:57] <bittin> Firefox 88 works to surf to facebook and gmail with thanks :)
[11:12] <seb128> didrocks, jibel, bug #1925002 is another one with the apport log
[11:12] <ubot3> Bug 1925002 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Installer crashes during manual fulldisk encryption install (single partition with ext4, no LVM/ZFS)" [Undecided, New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1925002
[11:16] <jibel> yeah, it's a manual partitioning with encryption
[11:27] <RikMills> if not too late, could we get this fix uploaded please? https://code.launchpad.net/~saivinob/usb-creator/usb-creator/+merge/401344
[11:27] <RikMills> sorry. that ^^ was meant to be elsewhere. whoops
[11:52] <jibel> didrocks, about 1925002 I propose to disable the recovery key when the crypto partition is created manually since we are only able to detect the target disk in auto mode and the page to enter the key in manual mode is different from the page in auto mode.
[11:52] <jibel> wdyt?
[12:08] <didrocks> jibel: it means not having the option, while people can still encrypt? You told there is no UI for crypto in manual mode?
[12:12] <jibel> didrocks, yes and there is a UI but different from the UI when partman-auto is used
[12:14] <jibel> didrocks, I don't want to modify the UI so late in the cycle and rather release notes it. It means that in manual mode it's still possible to encrypt a partition but not with a recovery key set at installation time
[12:14] <jibel> I think it's acceptable
[12:14] <didrocks> +1
