infinityWe could go back to our roots and make it a pr0n screen of death.01:16
StevenKelmo, showing the true sysadmin attitude.01:16
infinityHey, that's my hand in that picture.  I'M FAMOUS.01:16
mjg59pitti: Uhm. The *entire point* of laptop mode is that the drive spins down quickly.01:16
pittimjg59: but starting and stopping the drive every 5 seconds will kill it, apart from that it doesn't help to safe power01:17
=== sfllaw [i=sfllaw@debian/developer/coleSLAW] has joined #ubuntu-devel
infinitymjg59: 5 seconds seems excessively quick.  Won't it just eat power constantly spinning it back up?01:17
mjg59infinity: 5 seconds may be slight overkill, but not hugely01:17
mjg59If you set a longer timeout, it'll never spin down01:17
mjg59Certainly 15 minutes is entirely pointless01:18
pittimjg59: the point is, if I constantly access my HD, it *shall* not spin down01:18
infinityI know the power draw of spinning up drives is non-trivial.  To the point where my old desktop required a two-pass power-on sequence (I'd hit the switch once to power on the drives, but the mobo and video would be dead, then quickly kill and re-power while the drives were still spinning to get the rest of the system up)01:18
mjg59pitti: 15 minute timeout = if you access the drive once during those 15 minutes, the drive will not spin down01:18
smurfmjg59: there's probably a sensible compromise somewhere between these two extremes ...01:18
mjg59pitti: Which will mean that you might as well set it to forever, because /something/ during that time is going to read of disk01:18
StevenKinfinity: That sounds like your power supply is a little underpowered.01:19
pittimjg59: I'm just concerned about killing my drive; you can only spin up and down a drive so many times01:19
pitti5 minutes or so might be a good compromise01:19
infinityStevenK: It was, yes.  Was a 300W PSU and it had 8 10,000RPM drives in it.  I was too lazy to buy a new PSU.01:19
pittimjg59: but I see absolutely no reason to spin down the drive when it's connected to AC01:19
Ngdoes the new power graphing stuff in edgy give sufficient resolution to compare leaving the drive spinning vs powering it up frequently?01:19
Keybukpitti: why does your drive spin up?01:19
Keybukthat would be worth debugging?01:19
mjg59pitti: Right, there's no reason for it when it's on AC01:19
StevenKinfinity: JESUS. No wonder. :_P01:19
pittiKeybuk: well, because I'm working with my computer? :)01:19
mjg59pitti: And if that's happening, that should be fixed01:19
Keybukpitti: an ordinary emacs/gcc/run cycle shouldn't cause a spin up01:20
pittimjg59: yeah, the default configuration seems to indend to use 2 hours, but it's 5 seconds nevertheless01:20
Keybukit'd be worth checking whether you have some gnomeish thing of doom01:20
pittiKeybuk: no, it happens everytime I start something in the shell01:20
mjg59pitti: But, for reference, with these settings my 2.5 year old laptop is still well within limits (according to SMART)01:20
Keybukpitti: what kinds of things do you start?01:20
smurfinfinity: so put in the delay-spin-up jumpers. That's what they're there fore.01:20
mjg59pitti: So fix that, rather than anything else :)01:20
pittiKeybuk: unusual commands, like 'ls', 'vi', or 'ps'01:21
Keybukpitti: none of those on usual files should cause a spin up01:21
pittiKeybuk: well, they do, I can't help it01:21
Keybukthe results of ls should be in the page cache from last time you did it01:21
Keybukthen debug why they do01:21
Keybuklook at vm/block_dump01:21
infinitysmurf: Don't have the box anymore, but I'm pretty sure the drives didn't have hard jumpers for that.01:21
pittiI still think that 5 minutes would be a more sensible limit than 5 seconds01:21
Keybuk5 minutes is far too long01:22
=== pef [n=loic@lns-bzn-51f-81-56-130-224.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittiif, as Keybuk says, machines with more memory do not access the disk so often, then 5 minutes would work for them, too01:22
mjg59pitti: And I think it's likely that that would be equivalent to 5 hours01:22
Keybukthat means that if, in a 5 minute window, you cause the disk to spin up, it won't spin down!01:22
Keybukwhich effectively means it will never spin down01:22
pittiKeybuk: right01:22
pittiKeybuk: that's exactly what I want -- if I'm working with the computer, leave the disk running01:22
Keybukwhen I'm on laptop mode, my disk only spins up every few minutes, and then only for five seconds01:22
Keybukpitti: turn off laptop mode01:22
pittihmm01:22
pittiKeybuk: well, I know how to do that, but not every user might01:23
mjg59We don't enable laptop mode by default in any case01:23
Keybukthe whole point of laptop mode is that it keeps your disk DOWN for as long as possible01:23
Keybuknot UP01:23
pittimjg59: I never enabled it, so it must be by default01:23
pittiit's a fresh edgy beta install01:23
mjg59pitti: Is this on PPC?01:23
pittiKeybuk: yeah, but up/down/up/down/up/down every 5 seconds spoils that01:23
pittimjg59: yes01:23
Keybukpitti: then debug why that happens01:23
mjg59pitti: Ok. Fix PPC :)01:23
tfheenKeybuk: re making the scheduler explode -- are topics up already?01:23
Keybuktfheen: I've been proposing things, yeah01:24
mjg59pitti: I don't have any mobile PPC hardware, so I've no idea why that's happening. It's not the case on x86.01:24
Keybukand I'm using my "very small spec" method again01:24
pittiKeybuk: dude, because I'm executing something in /bin :) and 256 MB memory isn't enough to keep the world in the cache01:24
Keybukpitti: then turn off laptop mode01:24
pittimjg59: ok, good to know; I'll look into that then01:24
mjg59pitti: I've no intention in changing the laptop-mode settings. On x86, things work (and the drive gets set back to sensible timeouts on AC)01:25
pittimjg59: NB that the bug reporter is on x8601:26

pittiso it doesn't seem to work on all hw either01:26
Keybukthe correct thing to do when laptop-mode is spinning up the drive all the time is debug why it's spinning up at all01:26
Keybuknot to break it01:26
mjg59pitti: The bug is ancient and ought to have been closed01:26
giftnudelKeybuk: it's the apps01:26
giftnudelKeybuk: like epiphany spins up the disk on loading an image and closing a tab, so browsing with epiphany + laptop-mode = pointless01:27
Keybukgiftnudel: why does epiphany load the image off the disk?01:27
pittias I said, it happens with simple shell commands, too01:27
giftnudellaptop-mode is working just fine01:27
Keybukwhy is the image not in the page cache?01:27
Keybukpitti: ls should be in your page cache01:27
giftnudelKeybuk: if it adds it to the disk cache i suppose01:28
pittiKeybuk: maybe ls itself, but not the directory it's displaying?01:28
Keybukpitti: you really ls random directories all over your disk while on battery power?01:28
ograsooo, sleep doesnt help either with my usb/usplash race ... seems the only thing that really prevents the breakage is the chvt 701:28
mjg59I think my useful contribution to this discussion is done01:28
Keybukpitti: challenging yourself to find a directory you've never looked at before?01:28
pittiKeybuk: *sigh* I discovered that bug for the reason that I worked normally with my box, not to annoy people01:28
giftnudelI suppose you have to fix all apps that constantly access the hardrive01:29
Keybukpitti: right, but your proposed solution is wrong01:29
Keybukincreasing the laptop mode timeout beyond a matter of seconds would make it effectively useless01:29
pittiKeybuk: well, we have a different opinion about the effectiveness of fast spindowns01:29
=== sfllaw [i=sfllaw@debian/developer/coleSLAW] has joined #ubuntu-devel
pittithat doesn't make mine wrong per se01:29
Keybukif, as you say, you cause your disk to spin up EVERY FIVE SECONDS01:29
Keybukthen increasing the timeout would just make it never spin down, no?01:30
pitticorrect01:30
Keybukso why not just turn off laptop mode?01:30
Keybukif you never want your disk to spin down, you want laptop mode disabled01:30
pittiKeybuk: because I'm a dumb user and do not know how to turn it off01:30
Keybukit's not turned ON by default01:30
pittiKeybuk: I never turned it on01:30
Keybukat some point you have enabled it01:30
pittiuntil yesterday I wasn't even aware of it01:30
giftnudelwell, the point is not to never spin the disk down but not up-down-up-down ...01:30
Keybukpitti: grep LAPTOP_MODE /etc/default/acpi-support01:31
pittiKeybuk: powerpc, no acpi01:31
shawarmagiftnudel: No. up-down-up-down is fine at the right intervals. 01:31
Keybukpitti: that's probably the bug01:31
giftnudelshawarma: yes, but not 4 times in 40 seconds01:31
Keybukgiftnudel: if the disk needs to come up every 5s, there's no way to prevent that01:31
Keybukmjg59: is laptop mode enabled by default on powerpc?01:32
pittiKeybuk: you really want to tell me that it's the right thing to spin down the disk if I need it every 5 seconds?01:32
Keybukpitti: no, if you need it every 5 seconds you don't want it ever spun down at all01:32
pitti(that has nothing to do with fixing apps to not do that, of coruse)01:32
Keybukhowever it's the right thing to spin down the disk after 5s if you don't need it01:32
shawarmagiftnudel: actually, I'm quite sure the original benchmarking done when designing laptopmode showed that 10 seconds was a very reasonable setting. 01:32
pittiKeybuk: right, and that's what I keep saying all the time01:32
giftnudelshawarma: i'm just scared that it kills my hd01:33

giftnudelmaybe add something like a back-off algorithm01:33
giftnudelwait more if spun up often01:33
Keybukpitti: to me, the bug is that laptop mode gets enabled on powerpc because there's no acpi-support conffile, so there's no ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false01:34

pittiseb128: did you ever get an useful apport report with SIGABRT?03:04
seb128pitti: no03:04
pittiseb128: they usually come from exception hanndlers or assertion failures03:04
pittiseb128: and usually the backtrace is useless for them03:04
seb128right, that's my opinion too03:04
pittiseb128: I'm pondering to just ignore SIGABRT for now03:04
pittiseb128: I have a bug open about grabbing the text of the message (similar to grabbing mono's stack trace output) but that's nothing for edgy03:05
pittiwhen we have that ^, we should catch abort again03:05
seb128ignoring SIGABRT looks fine to me03:05

sabdflmjg59: ping03:19
desrtseb128; it's difficult to get a good read from inside a signal handler03:19
seb128desrt: why?03:20
desrtseb128; in the case of a segfault a good strategy might be to fire up the debugger in 'continue' mode and then have the signal handler return03:20
desrtthat'll re-trigger the crash03:20
desrtand the debugger will get a better read03:20
seb128ah03:20
desrtseb128; if you think about how signal handlers are called, it's pretty random03:20
=== dous [n=dous@ubuntu/member/dous] has joined #ubuntu-devel
seb128but you should get a function calls history still though, no?03:21
desrtseb128; they happen at any point in the code... so in some cases your stackframe is gonna be in a messed up state03:21
mjg59sabdfl: Hi03:21
desrtseb128; also, signal handlers don't return to the normal place in the code... they return to a special kernel trampoline (to restore the values of registers, etc)03:22
desrtit's amazing backtracing works at all when a signal handler is running, imo :)03:23
desrt(obviously has some special help for it built-in to the debugger)03:23
seb128hum03:24
seb128I see03:24
seb128doesn't look trivial to change though :/03:24
desrtnice03:25
desrtabort gets rethrown if the signal handler returns03:25
=== Chipzz [n=chipzz@ace.ulyssis.student.kuleuven.be] has joined #Ubuntu-Devel
=== twilight [n=twilight@ubuntu/member/twilight] has joined #ubuntu-devel
desrtseb128; correct solution, i think, is to modify the part of bug-buddy (or whatever) that lives in process03:26
desrtseb128; currently it attaches gdb to the process and issues 'bt' straight away03:26
desrtseb128; it should actually attach gdb, issue 'c' then the process should return to where it was executing in which case the abort or the segv will be thrown again and the debugger will catch it and get a much cleaner trace03:27
seb128desrt: 03:27
seb128$ cat /usr/share/bug-buddy/gdb-cmd03:27
seb128bt03:27
seb128thread apply all bt full03:27
seb128q03:27
desrtyup.  first there should be a 'c' :)03:27
desrt(with appropriate support in-process)03:27
desrti think the parent currently ends up in waitpid() or something03:28
desrt(having seen a billion bugbuddy stacktraces you think i'd know this more certainly)03:28
seb128I don't really get why abort or segv will be thrown again03:28
desrtabort contains code specifically so that it will be thrown again if the handler returns03:28
seb128ah03:29
desrtincluding explicitly unsetting the handler, it seems03:29
desrtsegv will happen again unless your handler manages to deal with the problem that caused the crash03:29
desrtlike.. the null pointer will still be null (or whatever)03:29
desrtso it'll try again and crash again03:29
desrtseb128; presumably a synchronous version of g_spawn or something is used to launch the bugbuddy... a good first crack would be to try changing that to async, then add a sleep(10); or something to wait for the debugger to start and attach to the process03:31
desrtthen just return from the signal handler03:31
desrtand add a "c" to the gdb commands file03:31
desrtif you're sufficiently lucky then that may work :)03:32
desrt(and makes a good start at a patch that you might want to get upstreamed)03:32
seb128that looks like a crackish idea03:32
seb128might work though ;)03:33
desrtthe idea of calling a debugger on yourself from a signal handler is crackish03:33
desrtthis is equivalently crackish, yes :)03:33
seb128how else would you get a backtrace?03:33

=== desrt makes sure to grab source and build-deps for bugbuddy before leaving
desrtare there any weird libbugbuddy package or something or is it all one thing?03:38
desrtlibgnome, maybe?03:38
seb128desrt: libgnomeui set the crash handler03:40
desrtawesome.  thanks.03:40
seb128desrt: bug-buddy is called and run gdb03:40
seb128np, thank you for having a look at it :)03:41
desrti probably don't even need bugbuddy source03:41
desrtbut can't hurt :)03:41
seb128the edgy package has a patch to libgnomeui to not set the crash handler if /apps/bug-buddy/run_on_crash is set03:41
seb128that's a "let apport doing its job" patch :)03:42
seb128but apport doesn't do better job at getting the bt 03:42
desrtis apport this spiffy new bugbuddy-type thing?03:42
=== Mirrado [n=Mirrado@20150112058.user.veloxzone.com.br] has left #ubuntu-devel []
desrter.  one case that my idea will deal poorly with is if you manually send a sigsegv/sigabrt to an app03:43
desrtbecause then the bugbuddy will start up but when the signal handler returns it won't be rethrown03:43
desrtthat's a pretty border case, though03:44
seb128desrt: right, apport is the distro wide bug-buddy pitti worked on for edgy03:44
desrtk03:44
desrtmaybe i'll grab source for that, too :)03:44
desrtis it python?03:45
desrter.  does it run some sort of a system daemon?03:45
seb128the dump is made by the kernel itself03:45
desrtoh!  of course!03:45
desrtthat's what people used to do03:45
desrtthey used to have corefiles03:46
desrtand run the debugger on that03:46
seb128that's what apport do03:46
seb128doesn' work better than bug-buddy though03:46
desrtthat's useful information03:46
desrti wonder if libgnomeui's abrt/segv handler still runs?03:46
seb128bug-buddy runs first03:47
desrtok.  so that's why.03:47
seb128if you don't unset /apps/bug-buddy/run_on_crash03:47
desrti bet if you cut bugbuddy out of the picture entirely then apport would work a lot better03:47
seb128no03:48
tfheenRiddell: did you have a chance to test the kubuntu accessibility stuff?03:48
desrtapport gets run by the bugbuddy code?03:48
seb128desrt: my libgnomeui patch doesn't set the signal handler if the gconf-key is not set03:48
seb128no, I've patched libgnomeui03:48
seb128by default it's running03:48
desrtok03:48
desrti'm confused03:48
Riddelltfheen: no, not yet I'm afraid03:48
desrthow does apport find out about crashed processes?03:48
seb128if you unset /apps/bug-buddy/run_on_crash then the signal handler is not set03:49
seb128and apport get the crash03:49

jdongit's that first hunk in debian/patches/56-disable-session-save-on-shutdown.patch05:37
jdongsladen: I think that  gnome_client_request_save() request was mistaken for something that would save the session05:37
jdongwhile from what I understand/researched it merely brings up a login dialog05:37
jdonglogout*05:37
jdongthe second hunk is what saves the session without telling the user05:38
jdongwas just wondering if you guys can double-check my findings and fix that annoying bug :D05:38
sladenjdong: what we want is session-closing, but no reference to session saving (they probably wanted hibernate instead)05:40
jdongsladen: right. patch 56's first hunk is definitely incorrect. it takes out the only action in that else if branch05:41
jdongsladen: from all the researching I've done, that gnome_client call is the way to bring up the logoff dialog05:42
sladenjdong: righto05:42

fabbionemvo, mdz: ping?09:30
mvofabbione: pong09:30
iwjzul: Hi.09:30
iwjIs this about my edit to XenOnEdgy ?09:31
iwjI have a working automatic domU constructor now.09:32
mdzfabbione: pong09:33
fabbionemdz: i think we should talk one minute about 6368009:34
fabbionemdz: do you have time now before mvo and i call the night?09:34
mdzfabbione: quickly09:34
mdzbefore my phone rings again09:34
fabbionemdz: well we would like to find a solution for that problem... and mvo has something already boiling around...09:35
mdzfabbione: messing around with apt's problem resolver in the last weeks of release is not OK09:35
mdzdo you have another idea?09:35
fabbionemdz: that's not our suggestion09:35
mvomdz: exactly, I was more thinking about a text-mode based dist-upgrader 09:35
fabbionemvo: was thinking of a text version of the upgrader09:35
mdzthat's worse09:35
mvomdz: it would just be a different frontend to the upgrader09:35
mvooh?09:36
mdzwe're not adding features now09:36
mdzwhat other options do we have?09:36
mvofor the python-foo stuff, none AFAICS. only to document it in the release notes09:37
fabbionemvo: what's the other option for apt to think that it must upgrade ?09:37
fabbionefor upstart at least.. but well we ship python stuff also on server CD09:37
mvoI think the upstart thing could be fixed09:37
=== j_ack [n=rudi@p508D8079.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mvoin apt by using the "essential" flag from the candidate version 09:37
fabbionemvo: how dangerous is that?09:38
mdzit would need to be fixed in dapper apt09:38
mvoI can dig into the python-foo stuff again, but I have not that much hope09:38
mvoright09:38
mvothat makes matter worse09:38
fabbioneother options?09:38
mdzdummy packages09:39
mdzthat's the only other thing I can think of09:39
fabbionemvo: would that work?09:39
mdzit would work but it sucks09:39
mvo++09:39
fabbionemdz: i agree that it sucks..09:39
mdzit may suck more than having to run apt-get install09:40
mvowe could provide a simple python-apt fixup script, but that would suck too09:40
=== mvo thinks we definitely need a text-based dist-upgrader. its only a couple of lines of code, the frontend code is nicely abstracted
mvoedgy+1 :)09:41
fabbionehmmm09:41
_ionYeah, that would be cool.09:41
fabbionei think adding a Provides: to upstart won't help shit09:42
mvothe code for this is (in a basic form) in my repository already09:42
fabbionemvo: not for edgy.. mdz has already blacklisted that option09:43
mvosure09:43
fabbioneif we introduce the meta-packages.. are we guaranteed that it will work?09:44
fabbioneand what meta packages do we need to create?09:44
mdzyes, we need it, but a) it is way too late, and b) it doesn't solve the problem09:44
mdzusers who do their upgrades with apt know how to deal with held back packages09:44
mdzI agree that it sucks, but it has been sucking for months and now it is too late09:45
fabbionemdz: it has been sucking for months due to the Break: thingy and i did swallow it as "it has to be done that way"09:45
fabbionebut afaik the break thing has been reverted09:45
mdzwhat does this have to do with breaks?09:46
fabbionethe 2 steps apt update09:46
mdzthis is a normal file conflict not a break09:46
mdzoh, you mean upstart09:46
fabbioneyeps i know..09:46
fabbioneyeah09:46
iwjWhy not Replaces ?09:46
fabbioneReplaces: sysvinit09:46
fabbioneit does09:46
mvoso it will come down to putting it into the release notes09:46
fabbioneapt seems to hate upstart09:46
mdzsee the bug report; the trouble is due to essentialness09:46
=== mvo wouldn't call it "hate"
fabbionemvo: it just loves it in a different way :)09:47
madduckare you guys fighting the problem that sysvinit is/was essential and now APT complains when replacing it with upstart?09:47
mvoexactly :)09:47
mdzfabbione: creating empty python2.x-foo in edgy and removing the conflicts would fix it, yes09:47
mvomadduck: yes09:47
mdzmadduck: not complains exactly, just needs to be told twice09:47
fabbionewhat was the issue of making upstart Essential ?09:48
fabbionebecause it was for a while and then reverted?09:48
madduckmdz: ah, none of the "Yes, I know what I am doing" stuff?09:48

fabbionemvo: we have only 2 options09:51
fabbione- release note09:51

gnomefreakjdong: looking at it. do you happen to know if apport reports freezes?11:21
jdonggnomefreak: AFAIK it only reports crashes (i.e. segfault)11:21

jdongthere's no "freeze" involved11:21
gnomefreaknothing but i needed an answer to it11:22

jdong(kind of humorous, actually)11:22
gnomefreaktrying to figure out how to get a log of a freeze11:22
gnomefreakjdong: this is fixed in edgy is it not?11:22

jdongit is an edgy regression11:22
jdongand it's been getting the cold shoulder11:22
tfheengnomefreak: sure11:23
jdongeven though I've now fully identified the culprit and commented in the ticket11:23
gnomefreakso has my samba man page error that was sent upstream11:23
jdongI'd expect a high priority bug to get more attention than that11:23
gnomefreaktfheen: the bug i marked as casper (cant think of bug number atm) but should casper ask you to upgrade on livecd? since those upgrades may affect the install?11:24
tfheengnomefreak: no, why should it?11:24
Kamiongnomefreak: there's a ubiquity bug already about having it auto-upgrade itself, but that sort of UI belongs to ubiquity IMHO not casper11:25
gnomefreaktfheen: the guy upgraded (the livecd) before installing it and he ended up with a borked system. now this could have been due to the upgrade itself but i can see how the upgrade than install would affect outcome11:25
Kamion(you don't want to spend time upgrading from the network in the middle of booting up11:25

gnomefreakah ok ty11:25
gnomefreakthis guy is pissed cause the bug was closed11:26
Kamiongnomefreak: was this 6.06?11:26

tfheengnomefreak: the shipped desktop CD hopefully won't have any updates available, so upgrading is kinda moot.11:26

funmanplus, keyboard configurations aren't auto selected using the language setting11:44
Kamionyeah, I know about that too, but it's a bit harder to fix11:44
funmannor they are translated11:44
Kamionnot-translated won't be fixed for edgy I'm afraid, sorry11:44
funmanit's a large amount of data11:44
Kamionwe switched to a totally new keyboard configuration backend, which is better in almost all respects, except that it has no translation support for the layout or variant names11:44
funmanwhy not ask the translation teams ?11:45
Kamionwe'll just have to take that hit for edgy and fix it next time round11:45
Kamionno *support*11:45

Kamionfunman: primarily in console-setup11:47
Kamionit's a bit messy, it's a conflict between the use of console-setup on a normal system and its use in ubiquity11:47
Kamionon a normal system, you want to go with what 'locale' says, but in ubiquity, that's not accurate and you need to grab the installer question11:48
Kamionbut switching the detection order round doesn't work either because normal systems may have debian-installer/locale in their debconf database but the value may be out of date11:48
Kamionso I'm still pondering the right approach11:49
Kamionthere's one possible really gross approach - create /usr/lib/ubiquity/compat/locale which actually fetches the locale to use from debconf11:51

Kamionwell, it's just a database plus a simple protocol plus a few frontends for user interaction11:55
Kamionin this case it's only its database part that's relevant - the installer sticks stuff like the selected locale in that database and expects other bits of the installer to retrieve it from there later on11:56
