Who else? 15:11:51 present 15:11:52 o/ 15:11:56 <_heliocastro> here 15:11:58 * dvratil is here 15:12:55 * rdieter waves 15:13:00 .hello rdieter 15:13:01 rdieter: rdieter 'Rex Dieter' 15:13:06 ... 15:13:41 #chair than_ jgrulich _heliocastro dvratil pino|work rdieter 15:13:41 Current chairs: Kevin_Kofler _heliocastro dvratil jgrulich pino|work rdieter than_ 15:15:40 hi 15:18:13 #chair ltinkl tosky heliocastro 15:18:13 Current chairs: Kevin_Kofler _heliocastro dvratil heliocastro jgrulich ltinkl pino|work rdieter than_ tosky 15:18:36 #info Kevin_Kofler, than_, jgrulich, heliocastro, dvratil, pino|work, rdieter, ltinkl, tosky present. 15:18:40 #topic Agenda 15:18:50 So I think we can finally start. 15:19:07 I think there are still F22-related items to discuss, aren't there? 15:20:05 I wouyld like to propose a review about to include dolphin from framewworks 15:20:21 probably, f22 theming could use some extra work/polish, kf5-5.10 submitted to fix some freeze_exceptions 15:21:35 heliocastro: for f22? 15:21:42 Yes 15:21:52 ok, can include that in f22 topic 15:22:03 I've been using it from master branch with our packges from more than two weeks 15:22:10 Had no crashes at all 15:22:28 #topic Fedora 22 final polishing 15:22:35 heliocastro: it would break some stuff, like using ark from dolphin 15:22:35 So let's officially make that our topic. 15:22:50 heliocastro: I also think it's way too late to make this change for F22 GA. 15:23:25 * danofsatx arrived back at the desk...you may start the party now 15:23:40 * rdieter agrees it's too late to change *right now*, but could consider it later 15:23:41 By the way, what about the request from KWin developer mgraesslin to enable Wayland support in F22's KWin? Are we doing anything about that? 15:23:46 * dvratil is against pushing non-released KF5 ports just because they are KF5 ports 15:23:48 jgrulich: That's why i want to review the idea, how important is ark and other related plugins to keep a 4 version of such critical component 15:23:59 I think it's fairly late for that change (KWin Wayland), too, to be honest. 15:24:11 today was the final freeze, wasn't it? 15:24:16 kf5 dolphin in rawhide, +1, and maybe copr for more testing 15:24:18 But then again upstream says KWin without Wayland support is more or less unsupported upstream. 15:24:22 Kevin_Kofler: to enable wayland support just requires flipping a switch in the specfile 15:24:25 IIRC they only allow it at all because of Slackware. 15:24:44 there'll be a new kwin_wayland executable 15:24:57 if marketed as a super-unstable beta feature, we could do that 15:25:01 does enabling wayland support change kwin_x11 at all? (I assume no, but...) 15:25:08 #chair danofsatx 15:25:09 Current chairs: Kevin_Kofler _heliocastro danofsatx dvratil heliocastro jgrulich ltinkl pino|work rdieter than_ tosky 15:25:09 not really 15:25:11 heliocastro: if that breaks user experience, then I would say it's important 15:25:25 but I'm afraid of people jumping on the wayland hypetrain and using it, then complaining to us 15:25:47 ok, I see no harm in it really, esp if that's what martin wants 15:25:48 I don't think wayland is ready, specially kde wise 15:25:49 rdieter: It does change it somehow, in that the core of KWin gets linked against Wayland. 15:25:59 dvratil: No problem, we redirect to upstream 15:26:01 And kwin_x11 also supports Wayland windows then. 15:26:21 dvratil: This a tradeoff that they need to do if we accept their requests 15:26:35 (I guess you'll only get them when explicitly forcing GTK+ 3 and/or Qt 5 to use Wayland though, they should still detect X11 by default.) 15:27:08 similar to how we had kwin-gles pkg before, make a kwin-wayland I guess 15:27:16 jgrulich: Yes, but i think dolphin on 4 is breaking more the user experience 15:27:33 Still, the fact that it touches code deep in the core of KWin also used by kwin-x11 makes me a bit nervous. 15:27:36 I'm not afraid about upstream, I'm afraid of the fact that nobody ever tested any part of KDE on Fedora under wayland, so this close to F22 release we have no idea what will happen when people start testing it ..:/ 15:27:38 or... if wayland is linked anyway, may not be worth making a subpkg at all 15:27:56 I think it's too late to try to get it into GA, QA would not let this through the freeze. 15:28:01 At most we could aim for 0-day. 15:28:08 heliocastro: how? there is almost no difference between KDE 4 and KF 5 version on first glance 15:28:13 dvratil: if folks start using non-default stuff, they deserve whatever they get :-P 15:28:20 *shrug* 15:28:51 I agree wayland support probably isn't worth breakig freeze for 15:28:54 And we can get in a connundrum 15:29:23 proposal: defer kwin/wayland enablement decision until after f22 GA 15:29:24 Imagine people telling on internerds that fedora is incomplete and upstream from KDE is refusing support 15:29:30 Another issue is that we still don't have a folder view by default in F22, so the installer doesn't show up on the desktop. 15:29:32 That sucks. 15:29:42 0 day. untested change of this magnitude isn't to be introduced so close to RC1. 15:29:54 rdieter: Defer +1. 15:30:00 I wouldn't even 0-day it, to be honest. 15:30:13 I'd try for it once the dust from the release has settled. 15:30:23 * dvratil is OK with enabling this with 5.4 release 15:30:27 I wouldn't either....it needs testing. I was only noting that if it is acceptable at all, it is after GA. 15:30:28 silently 15:30:52 and marketing it with F23 15:31:06 dvratil: Yeah. 15:31:17 * rdieter is ok either way, as long as it's after f22 ga :) 15:31:22 * danofsatx agrees with dvratil 15:32:45 I think we have close to consensus there (kwin) then 15:32:58 Agreed 15:33:28 * heliocastro need to leave 15:33:49 heliocastro: would you agree to update dolphin in rawhide (master branch) to frameworks version? 15:33:53 #agreed It is too late to push kwin_wayland to F22 GA, so we defer the decision on enabling it (in updates) to after the release. 15:33:58 rdieter: Yes 15:34:08 * dvratil still does not see the point in randomly updating apps to unreleased branches 15:34:25 dvratil: more/early testing 15:34:26 dvratil: Well, Rawhide is made for testing things. 15:34:41 dvratil: and we prefert test things before and fix, than after released 15:34:42 fwiw, kf5 dolphin *almost* made kde-15.04 15:34:55 If it is expected that the KF5 version will be released in time for F23, upgrading it in Rawhide now is not a bad idea. 15:34:55 And i'm using daily 15:34:57 it was proposed a little too late, and was rejected at the time 15:34:59 * heliocastro things in ark again 15:35:07 heliocastro: I'm using KDE PIM from master daily .... :) 15:35:15 dvratil: Brave man !!! 15:35:32 * heliocastro going 15:35:37 But KDE PIM can hardly get more unusable than the current KDE 4 version, can it? ;-) 15:35:55 but does not Dolphin depend on the new Baloo features? 15:36:06 dvratil: good question 15:36:56 Newer than KF5.10 that is being (has been?) released right now? 15:37:13 Vishesh is working on completely new stuff in some branch 15:37:17 if it does, then it obviously won't work 15:37:18 looks I'll have to take a look at ark if you are going to update dolphin to KF5 version 15:37:20 that should be merged for Plasma 5.4 15:37:25 other polish... 15:37:28 .bug 1199521 15:37:31 rdieter: Bug 1199521 kde-settings: oxygen(qt) vs adwaita(gtk) cursor inconsistency - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1199521 15:37:38 dvratil: that branch is already in master iirc 15:37:40 .bug 1220497 15:37:43 rdieter: Bug 1220497 Missing Fedora KSplash theme - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1220497 15:37:52 ltinkl: ah, good news then :) 15:38:23 Re #1199521, guess why I have always vetoed using a non-Adwaita cursor theme. 15:38:26 It just doesn't work in Fedora. 15:38:33 We need to switch the default to Adwaita. 15:38:39 bleh 15:38:54 adwaita doesn't work for window resize handles though 15:39:00 why? I don't see any adwaita cursor anywhere 15:39:14 ltinkl: I do when I mouse over firefox for example 15:39:17 rdieter: Oh fun, there's that bug, too. 15:39:41 * ltinkl launches firefox 15:39:45 ltinkl: I believe you already said you couldn't reproduce it when I brought it up before 15:39:57 but now it's not just me, others are reporting "me too" in that bug 15:40:12 all breeze cursors, even above firefox 15:40:17 wierd 15:40:17 I think Firefox just ignores the XSetting entirely and uses the X11-level default, which is hardcoded to Adwaita. 15:40:30 what does it mean switching to dolphin/frameworks in rawhide now? Could it land in F22 before the proper release with 15.08? 15:40:35 (at least in rdieter's setup) 15:40:38 Kevin_Kofler: hard to say, that doesn't explain why ltinkl doesn't see adwaita 15:40:51 tosky: no 15:40:52 yup looks like it, the only difference would be my startkde to fedora's 15:40:58 tosky: F22 was branched weeks ago. 15:41:02 I see adwaita cursor in Firefox 15:41:02 So no. 15:41:19 ltinkl: ah 15:41:22 The snapshot could land in F23, if upstream somehow cancels the 15.08 release or something unlikely like that. 15:41:25 jgrulich, rdieter: try to launch firefox from konsole 15:41:29 I'll try to review startkde diffs after meeting 15:41:37 instead of menu/krunner 15:41:39 ltinkl: that's what i did 15:42:08 ltinkl: still adwaita 15:42:20 echo $XCURSOR_THEME 15:42:37 ltinkl: breeze_cursors 15:42:40 echo $XCURSOR_THEME => breeze_cursors 15:42:45 heh, ok :) 15:43:08 I see the Breeze cursur in FF, but it doesn't work properly - I can scroll any non-focused application except FF 15:43:26 danofsatx: I don't think that's related 15:43:36 danofsatx: scrolling and cursor theme, that is 15:43:40 k, I wasn't sure exactly what we're talking about ;) 15:44:07 If we're speaking of issues like #1220497 (the "no KSplash theme one"), then there's also: 15:44:10 .bug 1218700 15:44:13 Kevin_Kofler: Bug 1218700 Plasma 5 menu icon is KDE logo, should be Fedora logo - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1218700 15:44:17 ok, another thing: try launching "kcminit" from konsole and then start firefox 15:44:24 jgrulich, rdieter ^^ 15:45:13 ltinkl: still adwaita 15:45:34 adwaita too 15:45:42 I wonder if xsettings-kde is getting in the way 15:46:09 heh, kilall xsettings-kde, now firefox is using breeze 15:46:17 ah there you go :) 15:46:22 wtf 15:46:28 I don't have xsettings-kde installed 15:46:34 that would explain it 15:46:54 xsettings-kde is supposed to export your kde-configured cursor theme though, it's getting it wrong? 15:47:05 I think exporting $XCURSOR_THEME is enough here (which we do in kcminit_mouse) 15:47:12 yeah, killing xsettings-kde works here too 15:47:28 rdieter: it gets exported via kcminit_mouse 15:48:05 Kevin_Kofler: still convinced we have to use adwaita? 15:48:41 ltinkl: We install xsettings-kde by default, so yes. :-) 15:48:57 Kevin_Kofler: we have to fix xsettings-kde or nuke it 15:49:14 Also, we have several cursor themes bloating the live image now (at least Adwaita that always gets dragged in and Breeze) when 1 would be enough. 15:49:33 But yes, we need to fix xsettings-kde. 15:49:40 "bloating" is far fetched 15:49:49 Do we still ship the version that looks only in KDE 4 settings? 15:49:54 If so, that's likely the issue. 15:49:57 Kevin_Kofler: yes 15:50:13 though systemsettings5 is supposed to sync stuff to kde4 kdeglobals (and friends) 15:51:47 so we're left with theming items 15:51:50 .bug 1220497 15:51:53 rdieter: Bug 1220497 Missing Fedora KSplash theme - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1220497 15:51:55 .bug 1218700 15:51:58 rdieter: Bug 1218700 Plasma 5 menu icon is KDE logo, should be Fedora logo - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1218700 15:52:05 anyone able/interested in working on those? 15:52:29 I suppose I can, but can't promise when I'll find time this week 15:52:51 I can do it tomorrow 15:53:01 "Fedora's own, unique and beautiful KSplash theme is missing." 15:53:14 meh - I doubt it's more beautiful than Plasma 5 splash 15:53:14 yay, thanks. bonus points if you can create a F22 looknfeel theme too 15:53:41 There's also the installer not shown on the desktop. 15:53:44 dvratil: likely it's the same, only difference would be wallpaper 15:54:06 Kevin_Kofler: is there any bug(s) for that yet? 15:54:12 (We should either put a folder view widget or the desktop or have the desktop BE the folder view.) 15:54:59 Hmmm, I thought we had one, but apparently not. I'm filing one, so that we have something to propose for Blocker/FE. 15:55:19 I'd go with the same splash screen tbh with a modified (Fedora) wallpaper behind it 15:55:27 ltinkl: +1 15:55:51 jgrulich: while you're at it, f22-themed lockscreen would be nice too, then everything should match 15:55:53 the splash screen itself is a QML component (albeit themeable) 15:56:08 ditto for the splashscreen 15:56:26 rdieter: ok, I'll try to make everything look the same :) 15:56:36 interestingly, when testing plasma-5.2.x, the lockscreen always used my configured wallpaper (F22), but after plasma-5.3, lockscreen uses the default kde one 15:56:44 if we are brave, we could ship a whole Fedora-themed desktop via the looknfeel package 15:56:50 IIRC that's what SUSE did 15:56:58 [10:53] yay, thanks. bonus points if you can create a F22 looknfeel theme too 15:57:01 +1 ^^ :) 15:57:06 ye well :) 15:57:43 it won't be as easy as just exchanging the wallpapers tho (what we did in the past) 15:58:03 I tried when I looked at it last, but I tried re-using default/breeze components via symlinks, and all I ended up doing was confusing/crashing plasma 15:58:18 jgrulich: plasma-workspace/lookandfeel 15:58:25 jgrulich: I can help you tomorrow if you want 15:58:55 ltinkl: I'll let you know if I need something :) 15:59:02 jgrulich: kk 15:59:43 .bug 1220862 15:59:47 Kevin_Kofler: Bug 1220862 The installer icon (and everything else in ~/Desktop) is not displayed anywhere on the Plasma Desktop 5 desktop - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1220862 15:59:56 Should we try to propose that as Blocker? FE? 16:02:17 damned bounces.... 16:02:53 Kevin_Kofler: if you want it fixed, it needs to be at least FE 16:03:41 I'm ok with either added folderview applet or folderview layout, but doing the latter is probably a more intrusive change to introduce this late 16:04:04 anyone else have an opinion ? 16:04:33 I'd go with the folderview applet 16:05:08 rdieter: I know, which is why I'm asking. 16:05:19 Do you think it'd qualify as a blocker? 16:06:00 I don't think it's a blocker (we already have installer in favorites) 16:06:02 There is the criterion that the installer needs to be discoverable, but it does not require it to be on the desktop (due to gnome-shell developers refusing to do that). 16:06:05 * dvratil has to go, will catch up later 16:07:09 * jgrulich is leaving too 16:07:15 not a blocker. 16:07:24 What's the tracker for FEs again? 16:07:27 * danofsatx doesn't even feel it's FE worthy if it's in the launcher 16:07:49 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043132 16:08:07 Yeah, found a working alias (FinalFreezeException). 16:08:27 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1220862#c1 16:08:41 use the qa blockers app 16:09:12 qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug 16:09:16 that's how I do it 16:12:44 looks like we're over time and losing meeting participants. :) any last words before closing ? 16:13:00 I'm checking if the other theming bugs are on any blocker/FE tracker. 16:13:04 any progress on the dri-3 bug? 16:13:18 * danofsatx doesn't know where to look for that 16:13:43 danofsatx: if there's nothing in bz (either rh or freedesktop), means likely no progress 16:13:55 Looks like they're not, should they? Or have we already given up on fixing them for GA? 16:14:11 I'm talking about these: 16:14:12 Bug 1199521 kde-settings: oxygen(qt) vs adwaita(gtk) cursor inconsistency - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1199521 16:14:13 though one person (gerald?) posted a new backtrace, but that one looked different than the dri3 issue 16:14:16 Bug 1220497 Missing Fedora KSplash theme - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1220497 16:14:20 Bug 1218700 Plasma 5 menu icon is KDE logo, should be Fedora logo - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1218700 16:15:02 those need fixed. shall I propose them as FEs? 16:15:09 Kevin_Kofler: i'd say the latter 2 are worthy of FE, the cursor theme thing not (it's cosmetic only) 16:15:41 true... 16:15:56 well, theming is all cosmetic, but the cursor theme is not nearly as visible 16:15:57 rdieter: OK, so can you propose them for FE? 16:16:08 I'll do it, Kevin_Kofler 16:16:13 OK 16:17:22 Of course, FE will only help if the stuff gets fixed REALLY quickly. 16:17:31 By definition they won't wait for a non-blocker. 16:17:36 that too, thanks everyone 16:17:40 #endmeeting
