 emily | why does gst-plugins-bad have to be like that | 17:51:28 |
 K900 | Like what? | 17:52:35 |
| emily | depending on something called wildmidi that includes a bunch of instrument patches freepats that nothing else on the ISO uses | 17:54:29 |
| emily | that kind of thing. | 17:55:43 |

 aidalgol | Am I just losing my mind, or did Plasma previously have a section in System Settings where you could selectively disable background services? | 21:20:38 |

Am I just losing my mind, or did Plasma previously have a section in System Settings where you could selectively disable background services? I'm so happy that someone else remembers that page | 21:31:19 |
| SigmaSquadron | No idea what happened to it; at some point between Plasma 6.1 and 6.2 it just disappeared from my settings. | 21:31:50 |

| FliegendeWurst | I can also still find the page via the kickoff search | 22:28:35 |

| K900 | Intentionally hidden upstream | 01:46:33 |
| K900 | As it's not intended to be user facing | 01:46:45 |
| K900 | Which is to say You Should Not Fuck With It | 01:46:56 |

| K900 | Qt 6.9 is hopefully next week | 10:13:27 |
| K900 | It should line up with the staging cycles roughly | 10:13:36 |
| K900 | The question is do we go for it this close to freeze | 10:14:14 |
| K900 | I think yes | 10:14:23 |
| K900 | But if they delay again | 10:15:35 |
| K900 | Then we're not going to have a good time | 10:15:44 |

 πΌπ. π±ππ πππ π π·ππ | I was asking about it when I wanted to disable kde-gtk-settings due to going from normal scaling to dpi scaling (Qt's upstream unwillingness to rework font rendering doesn't really leave any other option to my eyes) and the answer was it's to prevent uneducated users from ruinng their systems when they try to make the system more lightweight | 14:40:17 |

| πΌπ. π±ππ πππ π π·ππ | I don't remember exactly which config it is though, as the machine where I was doing this is broken | 14:51:38 |
| K900 | Well KDE folks at least run 6.9 betas in CI | 15:34:21 |

[17:07:52] <jaheikki3_> Qt 6.9.0 release blocker list is empty and Qt 6.9.0 release content is frozen
[17:08:03] <jaheikki3_> Release package creation is ongoing
[17:08:06] <thiago> sorry, I found one yesterday
[17:08:18] <jaheikki3_> thiago: ID?
[17:08:22] <thiago> the qthread changes ended up with a no-op
[17:08:51] <thiago> https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/634258
[17:09:25] <thiago> the task itself was reported as a memory leak, but a) the leak can't be fixed in the library and b) it was a symptom that led me to find the real issue
[17:11:10] <jaheikki3_> and this is really must have for Qt 6.9.0? Because re-creating packages at this point causes a risk for the release schedule...
[17:11:24] <jaheikki3_> vohi[M]: any opinion?
[17:11:29] <thiago> I would prefer
[17:11:42] <thiago> because we're leaking the main thread QAdoptedThread, so we'll get a bunch of bug reports about that
[17:11:54] <thiago> more importantly, the fix may introduce issues and I'd rather people see them in .0 than in 6.9.1
[17:12:39] <vohi[M]> yeah, would be nice to get this in; autotests should catch if this breaks something, I think
[17:12:51] <vohi[M]> thiago: move the change to 6.9.0 and pick it to dev
[17:13:34] <jaheikki3_> yeah, that way we can speed up the progress.
[17:14:18] <thiago> I can do that
[17:14:20] <thiago> moving all three changes
[17:15:28] <jaheikki3_> Ok, so let's take that still in. Hoping CI behaves and we can get packages for testing tomorrow
[17:15:51] <jaheikki3_> vohi[M]: please review changes and I'll stage those in after approval
| 15:35:35 |
| πΌπ. π±ππ πππ π π·ππ | GNOME nixpkgs PRs seem to get open early at beta releases of gtk and other components | 15:40:05 |
| K900 | Yeah I tried building 6.9 locally and it was fine | 16:33:45 |
