Making it manual would make the entry show up.) 15:22:10 maybe if we set "Restore Manually saved session", but still that's a stretch 15:22:23 I was only using that as an argument against your rationale 15:22:27 *The only reason it's NOT a blocker, I mean 15:23:11 There's a clear criterion that everything in the application launcher needs to pass a basic functionality test. 15:23:15 * than__ is present 15:24:08 #info than__ present 15:24:11 #chair than__ 15:24:11 Current chairs: Kevin_Kofler danofsatx heliocastro jgrulich jreznik pino|work rdieter than__ tosky 15:24:32 * danofsatx doesn't see "Save Session" in the log out dialog. 15:24:38 there's also the fun driver/mesa related issues of kwin and plasmashell periodically freezing 15:24:50 danofsatx: It's not shown by default. 15:24:53 well...there appears to be progress on that. 15:25:04 if it's not shown by default, then it's not a blocker. 15:25:04 danofsatx: it's only present if you select option in SM settings: Restore manually saved session (it gives the ability to actually do the manual saving) 15:25:05 But if we were to change to manually saved sessions, then it would be shown by default. 15:26:12 there's a proposed patch in the mesa/dri3 freedesktop.org bug , anyone interested in trying it out ? 15:26:33 if so, I could work on making a mesa scratch build (or copr) 15:26:39 rdieter: if there is a scratch build available I would definitely try it, because it's super annoying 15:26:42 I received a dri3 update this week. 15:26:48 the freezes have....changed. 15:27:12 * rdieter last mesa update was installed may 05 15:27:23 I've not gotten a complete lockup, but I have gotten a momentary freeze when opening the kicker or a window preview popup from the task bar. 15:27:40 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-7655/mesa-10.5.4-1.20150505.fc22 15:27:58 maybe it took me a week to update it ;) 15:28:01 danofsatx: momentary freezes are probably different, but hard to speculate 15:28:21 I consider them MUCH improved over complete lockups. 15:28:39 I've still had plasmashell hangs since installing that update, at least 3-4 of theme 15:29:26 odd, looks like we don't have the dri thing on either of our tracker bugs 15:29:49 I've not seen it on the Intel machine, but I have on the neauvou 15:29:53 or however you spell it 15:30:10 My update to mesa-dri-drivers-10.5.4-1.20150505.fc22.x86_64 took place on 11 May. 15:30:13 .bug 1193742 15:30:15 rdieter: Bug 1193742 Plasma5 Freezes (often due to notifications while locked), xcb/dri3 deadlock? - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1193742 15:31:00 upstream reference, http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84252 15:31:24 ok, I'll try to pull in the candidate fix for scratch build testing 15:31:36 but yes, I'll gladly test it. 15:31:37 #action rdieter to make mesa scratch build for testing 15:32:08 any other f22-related issues to discuss? 15:32:49 apper? 15:34:09 fyi, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217844#c23 had what appears to be a completely different backtrace, if anyone has input on that one, please comment in the bug 15:34:18 danofsatx: what about apper? 15:34:33 danofsatx: Nothing much new there, I'll take the blame for being the roadblock this time. Sorry, very busy days lately, so no time to update the upstream pull request. 15:34:49 the fact that there is _still_ no graphical software component for Plasma that allows users to browse available packages and groups. 15:35:13 danofsatx: there are options, we just don't include them (yumex, muon-discover) 15:35:33 * rdieter really likes muon, fwiw 15:35:42 Muon doesn't browse groups. 15:35:49 It browses AppStream, which is a wholely different thing. 15:36:05 true, I like that 15:36:14 And Yumex is not "for Plasma", it's a GTK+ app. 15:36:24 I just had a co-worker intsall F22 Plasma, and when I asked him to install kvm/libvirt, the first place he went was Apper because it was in the menus. 15:36:36 Kevin_Kofler: strictly speaking, apper isn't "for plasma5" either 15:37:49 can apper (in f20) install groups? I personally never figured out how, but didn't try very hard either 15:38:01 looks like we lost some folks, netsplit? 15:38:09 no, it was broken in F20 also. 15:38:09 helio and jreznik 15:38:26 * danofsatx isn't sure how that made it through release validation, but it's water under the bridge now. 15:38:27 danofsatx: Groups work in F20. F21 broke them. 15:38:31 F20 used PK-yum. 15:38:38 not sure if apper ever really supported installing groups as a whole, but you could install individual components of a group 15:38:41 One of the reasons I still use F20. 15:39:06 Kevin_Kofler: so how does it work (to install groups)? 15:39:36 To install a whole group, you can search for its group ID and there should be a "metapackage" showing up that you can install. 15:39:53 ok, so that's not browseable either :-P 15:40:05 You asked for how to install the group as a group. 15:40:06 but at least that worked compared to now? 15:40:12 It's not the most important feature to me. 15:40:17 ok 15:40:21 What ALSO works on F20 is that you can browse the group contents. 15:40:57 None of that works (and not even the hardcoded PackageKit fallback groups, because those also need to be mapped to comps somewhere) because PK-hif does not support comps, at all. 15:41:17 The pull request that I need to fix up would make at least the static fallback groups work. 15:41:30 that's something at least 15:41:32 The dynamic groups and the metapackage installation would STILL not work, those need additional code. 15:41:46 (but they also need the comps reading to build upon) 15:41:50 baby steps 15:41:54 (so that pull request needs to be done first) 15:42:05 moving on then... 15:42:08 #topic open discussion 15:42:14 The big problem is that nobody cares about this anymore, because hughsie thinks everyone should just use AppStream. 15:42:23 anything else to report or discuss? 15:42:40 Go team go? 15:42:51 Switching from Anaconda liveinst to Calamares by default for F23? 15:42:54 any quick updates on interesting stuff folks are working on this week? 15:43:21 Kevin_Kofler: sounds like a good mailing list topic for discussion 15:43:46 (i don't think the little time we have here would do it justice) 15:43:56 agreed, but I like the idea. 15:44:25 Seeing yet another case of Anaconda not working properly on KDE (though it now looks like it only happens when run in a Konsole) really made me want to ditch that GNOME-centric thing ASAP. 15:44:27 submissions for that are due in ~3 weeks, aren't they? 15:45:05 * rdieter thinks "gnome-centric" is an unfair characterization, but it *is* using gtk 15:46:59 clearly everyone is working on boring stuff this week, not worth mentioning today :) 15:47:11 RC1 is dropping today. 15:47:24 are we ready for the onslaught of distraught users? 15:48:01 omg, we fear change 15:48:17 We survived F9, we're going to survive F22 too. :-) 15:48:39 well....there are some "transition" issues we're going to run into going from 4 to 5. the sessions is one of those 15:48:45 I suppose we could prep for that with copious blogs and awareness campaigns so folks have fewer excuses to be surprised 15:49:01 If you have a saved session from KDE4, it is resumed on Plasma5 but you can't change it. 15:49:14 Also, a lot of icons don't switch to the new ones. 15:49:40 danofsatx: that's... odd, plasma5 uses a completely different SM config dir and mechanism, I wouldn't expect kde4 sessions to be recognized at all 15:50:30 danofsatx: can you be more specific? 15:50:42 and/or list bugs tracking the issues you mention? 15:51:03 for one, the system settings icon is still the olde KDE4 icon: http://i.imgur.com/0FdBEiV.png 15:51:41 wtf 15:51:45 But as for the saved session, my issue may be unique. The session management was working in the F21 Plasma preview, that is the session that gets restored on every login. 15:52:00 possible you're using oxygen icon theme? 15:52:07 if so, then not surprising it's showing the old one 15:52:09 Konversation is different, too, come to think of it 15:52:41 huh, didn't even think of that. 15:53:02 that was held over from F21 plasma, which itself was an upgrade from KDE4 15:53:04 Yeah, looks like the theme is set to Oxygen. 15:53:17 So IMHO the real bug is the icons that do NOT look like the old ones. 15:53:31 danofsatx: plasma theme affects some items too (systray icons for example) 15:53:32 Unfortunately, Plasma icons seem hardcoded to Breeze-themed ones. 15:53:48 I guess I need to do a Plasma 5 version of my Oxygen systray icon pack. 15:54:58 also, you can see the blank spot in my notification tray on that screenshot. 15:55:01 I'll be working on kde-apps-15.04.1 this week too 15:56:03 danofsatx: i've seen tha once or twice with kde telepathy applet (either on resume or when network goes up/down) 15:57:11 ok, let's end the meeting, thanks everyone 15:57:14 #endmeeting
