So... in the default GNOME config, these kind of icons aren't shown at all, right? 15:08:15 probably a good idea to nudge them a bit, nit sure if the applet is a priority :/ 15:08:57 I'm honestly not sure what the GNOME concept for UI access for these kind of things is *supposed* to be. 15:10:30 I have a whole pile of disappointments re firewalld that this comes in, like, fifteenth on the list 15:12:28 tablepc: where does this fall on the "blocks work" to "mildly annoying" scale for you? 15:13:40 About in the middle I'd say. I have this installed in my users machines so they can shut off quick if something happens 15:14:23 The just haven't been able to use it for a while now 15:15:43 They also like the notifications when the net comes up or shuts down 15:15:43 i don't have a strong opinion (or even a weak one) about whether or not to accept this. anyone care to make arguments either direction? 15:16:37 I have a vague but somewhat cynical interest in improving the state of the firewall tool entirely. It might be worth talking to the firewalld current maintainers about their plans. 15:17:18 .hello2 15:17:19 jforbes: jforbes 'Justin M. Forbes' 15:18:08 hi justin! 15:18:19 mattdm: is that a +1 or a -1? :-) 15:18:20 hi 15:18:33 or is it a "let's come back to it next time?" 15:19:11 Let's make it #action mattdm speak to firewalld maintainers about their plans, revisit this next time in light of that 15:19:19 mattdm: ack 15:19:26 ack 15:19:40 is there any alternative available for this applet, some other applet or simple front-end as a workaround that can be put somewhere in documentation? 15:20:12 I've looked, but with no success 15:20:13 #action mattdm speak to firewalld maintainers about their plans, revisit this next time in light of that 15:21:41 ok, let's wait then 15:21:58 I'll send mail as soon as we're done there and report back to y'all next time :) 15:22:14 #topic Accepted bugs 15:22:15 #info 1 accepted bugs 15:22:17 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?bug_status=__open__&f1=flagtypes.name&f2=OP&list_id=10871665&o1=substring&query_format=advanced&v1=fedora_prioritized_bug%2B 15:22:21 #topic Cpu usage very high until touchpad is touched 15:22:23 #link https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1847627 15:22:32 I have thoughts :) 15:22:34 so we were a little uncertain about this one when we accepted it 15:22:42 i put out a call for testing and we got updates 15:22:48 which leads me to jforbes's thoughts... 15:22:53 go ahead, justin 15:23:17 It turns out, I have this exact laptop, but never saw it because it isn't the default configuration. The testers that confirmed the bug had to be told how to change their config to reproduce 15:24:00 It certainly is a bug, and I will work on a fix when I can get to it, but rather than priority bug, I would consider it low priority bug. It is common hardware, but not the default or standard config 15:24:01 # action send more laptops to jforbes 15:24:17 +1 sounds reasonable 15:24:18 That works too. 15:24:50 My laptop used didn't see this 15:25:01 so based on what we know now, i'm inclined to agree with jforbes and un-prioritized bugs this 15:25:10 +1 15:25:47 The issue is with a specific touchpad. A change went in a couple of years ago to not re intialize the module on resume, this fixed many touchpads, broke a few as well. I need to write a quirk for it to bring it back. 15:26:15 # action ban all touchpads 15:26:59 I could be in favor of that as well, just because I hate to use them 15:27:17 Touchpads are a pain 15:27:43 proposed #agreed BZ 1847627 is removed as a Prioritized Bug as the behavior is limited to a specific touchpad model used in non-default configuration 15:28:06 I would like to see this bug removed from priority though, and future consideration weigh the bug more on how many users are likely encountering it in the wild. 15:28:42 jforbes: that's part of the consideration, but at the time it wasn't clear to use that it was a non-default configuration 15:28:49 s/use/us/ 15:29:24 +1 to proposed, and to what bcotton_ just said 15:29:56 +1 15:30:02 +1 15:30:03 Given the amount of hardware that we enable, something is always broken. I would love to see it all fixed, but I don't exactly have an army here. Users working with upstream get a fix faster, but I would like to focus more on bugs which impact the most users, or are really critical (data corruption/security/loss of use) 15:30:10 +1 15:30:30 absolutely. We want the priorities to actually be useful rather than sending you on random chases 15:30:58 This one was a bit easier since it turns out I have the exact model :) 15:31:41 Though with merge window and test week, I still won't have the cycles until late next week 15:31:45 which is really kind of related because "that's a pretty popular Linux laptop" is definitely something that caught our eye in discussing this in the first place 15:31:51 #agreed BZ 1847627 is removed as a Prioritized Bug as the behavior is limited to a specific touchpad model used in non-default configuration 15:32:00 this goes back to the "send justin more laptops" point 15:32:32 mattdm can use his Distinguished Engineer money to send a box truck full of laptops to jforbes's house 15:32:37 Yes, it is definitely a popular laptop. Though if it were a default config issue, we would have had a lot more people piling on the bug before we specifically asked for testers 15:32:50 yeah 15:33:12 Honestly right now is a _great_ time to make HW requests at RH for things like this 15:33:22 because of budget $reasons 15:33:41 so in seriousness if there is more hardware that would be helpful, let's get it to you 15:33:45 I would really like to figure out how to get an M1 to make work as a build server :) 15:34:27 Eighth_Doctor keeps sending me optimistic links about getting that running as an actual productive laptop too :) 15:34:38 Though it will be a long time (if ever) before it becomes a viable fedora general purpose system due to graphics support 15:34:40 👋 15:34:55 graphics support is likely to be available by December 15:35:07 but december of what year? that's the question 15:35:11 this year 15:35:13 heh. 15:35:20 anywayyyyyyy.... 15:35:22 Yeah, I have been following, still not convinced. I mean not accelerated graphics 15:35:23 bcotton_: the year when pandemic ends :D 15:36:05 hahaha 15:36:14 #topic Next meeting 15:36:15 #info We will meet again on 19 May at 1500 UTC in #fedora-meeting-1 15:36:22 okay, i think that's all we have for today 15:36:33 thanks everyone for your participation 15:36:35 .hello ngompa 15:36:36 Eighth_Doctor: ngompa 'Neal Gompa' 15:36:37 :) 15:36:39 Have a Great Day Everyone! 15:36:44 Side note, I may not always "join the meeting" but I am always in channel, feel free to ping me on any kernel issues 15:36:54 jforbes: will do :-) 15:36:56 #endmeeting
