Not expecting these blockers to be fixed. 08:34:01 * Gitlab issue reporting - not in scope seemingly? 08:34:03 * Pet peeve quality issues - mostly a result of gnome-abrt not being good. Requires a redesign. Not going to happen in the next 12 months. 08:34:05 * Coredump references 204 debuginfo files, 224 of them are not installed - in progress; fixed soon 08:34:07 * abrt-action-analyze-c crashes on every gnome-music crash - mid-priority, not a high priority because it doesn't always happen. Should be fixed in the near future ~months. 08:34:09 * False positives with sensitive words - Miroslav more concerned with false negatives rather than false positives. So it's low priority for him. 08:34:11 * Michael: this is an issue because every report gets flagged as sensitive, so we train users to click through. 08:34:13 * Michael: abrt defaults to reporting the private rather than the public report - causes duplicates, means that people can't fix the issues. 08:34:15 * Miroslav still concerned about false negatives. 08:34:17 * Michael suggests removing common keywords that cause false positives. 08:34:19 * #agreed: have a followup discussion about false positive sensitivity warnings - can we come up with a better algorithm? 08:34:21 * Retrace server should not fail: the ABRT team is working on this nearly continuously, but there are issues. 08:34:23 * In the future, debuginfod will be used to mount the debuginfo 08:34:25 * ABRT very frequently fails to report crashes. Miroslav: in the past there were a lot of duplicates, so he's hesitant about accepting lower quality reports. 08:34:27 * Michael: ... 08:34:29 * Michael: often when ABRT fails to make a report, it doesn't provide useful information as to why. 08:34:31 #info ABRT project kanban 08:34:33 #link https://github.com/orgs/abrt/projects/1 08:34:35 * Don't offer to restart gnome-shell. Low priority for Miroslav - sees it as GNOME's responsibility. It's a useful feature for other processes. 08:34:37 * Matthias: this is a serious quality of implementation issue - causes users to lose their session. A reason to not to include ABRT. 08:34:39 * Michael: it should be a simple mechanism to check the process name before offering the restart option. 08:34:41 * Owen: would they accept a patch for that? Yes. 08:34:43 * Start faster. Miroslav - it starts fast for me. Low priority. 08:34:45 * Reporting too many duplicates 08:34:47 * Michael: this would be less severe if there were fewer private issues. ABRT knows that these are duplicates - it's doing it intentionally - can be fixed by changing the behaviour. 08:34:49 * Owen: are the flatpak blockers documented? Miroslav - there were a couple of blog posts. 08:34:51 #info ABRT: Reporting problems in Flatpak applications 08:34:53 #link https://abrt.github.io/abrt/container/exception/flatpak/python/2019/03/11/flatpak-problems/ 08:34:55 * kernel core failure reported for userspace crashes. Miroslav - it's an incorrect classification issue. Sees it as a minor issue - hopefully will be addressed in the next 12 months. 08:34:57 #action Further discussion on too many duplicates 08:34:59 #action Further discussion on false positives due to sensitive keywords 08:35:01 #info Michael's summary/status update 08:35:03 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/130#comment-705518 08:35:05 #topic Swap out Cheese for a more generic Camera app 08:35:07 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/166 08:35:09 #agreed deferred 08:35:11 #topic Make use of malcontent in the default install? 08:35:13 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/186 08:35:15 #agreed deferred 08:35:17 #topic Improve the user feedback for OOM situations 08:35:19 #link https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/202 08:35:21 #agreed deferred 08:35:31 #endmeeting
