Q-FUNKseb128: exactly how did you reach the conclusion that the broken gtkprint was caused by libcups?04:02
seb128Q-FUNK: what is the bug number? the backtrace calls are in libcups if I remember correctly04:04

seb128^04:10
seb128that looks like it's hanging while connecting to cups04:10
seb128and it's a hang in libcups04:10
seb128maybe you have a firewall blocking it or something04:10
Q-FUNKdefinitely not04:11
seb128ok, so maybe the cupsys config is broken04:11
seb128or libcups has a bug04:11
seb128or you have a network issue04:11
seb128I'm not sure, and I don't know cups enough to figure04:11
Q-FUNKbesides, gtkprint is the only thing that fails. gnomeprint, OOo, firefox, all work.04:11
Q-FUNKso that tells me that cupslib works fine, given how apps that directly access it and gnomeprint both work.04:12
seb128does it happen in other applications use gtkprint? yelp, epiphany, gtk-demo04:12
Q-FUNKI can try yelp.  just a sec.04:13
Q-FUNKyelp also buggers.04:14
Q-FUNKsame symptoms04:14
seb128k, so it looks like gtkprint, libcups, cupsys issue04:15
seb128having a backtrace with dbgsym package for those would be useful04:15
Q-FUNKgtkprint, definitely.04:16
seb128how do you know?04:17
seb128the backtrace indicates it's hanging in a connect made by libgnomecups04:17
seb128libcups rather04:17
Q-FUNKand yet gnomeprint doesn't hang during connect.  it just works.04:17
seb128do you know it's internel?04:18
seb128does it uses the same libcups functions than gtkprint?04:18
seb128that's not because some part of libcups is not buggy that there is no bug04:18
Q-FUNKwell, that's rich.04:21

seb128re04:47
seb128Q-FUNK: you know, trying to change bug setting over a maintainer is not the way to get it resolved04:48
Q-FUNKseb128:  neither is changing it without justification.04:48
seb128Q-FUNK: I told you my justification04:49
seb128the stacktrace indicates it's blocked on a libcups listen04:49
Q-FUNK"looks like a libcupsys bug. reassigning." that's not a justification.04:49
seb128Q-FUNK: I gave you details on this chan04:50
seb128looks at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9211483/gdb-evince.txt04:50
seb128connect, httpAddrConnect, httpReconnect, httpConnectEncrypt04:50
seb128it's clearly hanging on a call from libcups04:51
seb128why do you think it's a GTK bug?04:51
seb128might be a httpConnectEncrypt() libcups bug, which is something libgnomeprint maybe doesn't use04:51
Q-FUNKyou'd need to write that in the bug as a justification, for this to be usefull to pitti or anyone else. then they can decide for themselves if they agree with your assessment.  right now, the one-liner your wrote is useless as an explanation.04:51
seb128I explain it to you on this chan04:52
Q-FUNKthat could be.04:52
seb128you could have asked that instead of just reassigning04:52
Q-FUNKI already asked.04:52
Q-FUNKyou had already reassigned04:52
seb128from now I'll just ignore this bug since you don't want to work in the right way04:52
Q-FUNKyou thus didn't get copy of the question.04:52
Q-FUNKseb128:  reassigning the bug with such a laconic justification helps nobody, so please work in the right way and provide details for that sort of action.04:54
Q-FUNKon the bug, where it belongs.04:54
seb128it was assigned to evince which was clearly wrong04:55
seb128I reassigned to libcups what is the most likely place according to the backtrace04:55
seb128what about letting the maintainer make calls?04:55
seb128bug tracker should not allow users to change settings over maintainers04:55
seb128anyway could you get a debug backtrace?04:56
Q-FUNKnothing more than what I already attached to the bug.04:56
seb128libcupsys2-dbgsym libc6-dbg libgtk2.0-0-dbgsym are installed?04:57
seb128http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9211483/gdb-evince.txt has no debug functions04:57

bryce_Q-FUNK: it looks like its segfaulting while trying to load vgafb07:13
bryce_er, s/vgafb/vgahw/07:13
bryce_Q-FUNK, ok left my interpretation of the strace.  I have no idea what's going on, but hopefully that should give you some new stuff to test07:21
tepsipakkibryce_: well, that's one option.. but maybe first ask upstream?07:44
bryce_tepsipakki: who would be best to ask?07:51
tormodhi, I am building new ati drivers in PPA now, with the post-194 git commit.07:54
bryce_tepsipakki: also see discussion on #ubuntu-desktop about -ati's xrandr and multi-screening07:55
bryce_I sense that glatzor would favor sticking with -ati 6.6.3 since displayconfig-gtk does not support xrandr yet07:55
tepsipakkiuh07:56
tepsipakkiok07:56
tepsipakkithat's better than skip dualhead with intel&ati?07:57
tepsipakkiin displayconfig-gtk07:57
jcristau_&nv07:57
tepsipakkiright07:58
tepsipakkiwell, dunno07:58
tormodstick with 6.6.3? omg we have to reopen many a bug then. like my favorite 22985...08:00
tepsipakkii'll check the discussion soon08:00
tormodhmm #ubuntu-desktop is not logged08:02
tepsipakkihmm, the reason why xresprobe fails for so many is probably that laptop-detect fails08:43
bryce_that's what I'm wondering08:45
tepsipakkiit's easy to check..08:46
tepsipakkiask the reporters to run that08:46
tormodlaptop-detect fails? again?09:06
tormodlast time it failed during casper, but would work in installed, which was quite confusing. (#40503)09:07
tormodand I remember initial resolution detection would also fail. bug # anyone?09:09
bryce_bug 12700809:13
ubotuLaunchpad bug 127008 in xresprobe "Alternate install of Tribe-4 corrupts video display when installing packages (affected hardware includes Santa Rosa)" [High,In progress]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/12700809:13
bryce_tormod: btw, when you start a discussion with a user, and esp. after asking a question, could you set the state of the bug from New to Incomplete (or Confirmed)?09:20
tormodbryce_: ok, I do it sometimes :)09:20
bryce_tormod: this'll help the bug triagers a lot09:21
tormodsure. It's just that I then feel compelled to assign it to myself, which I sometimes don't want to.09:21
bryce_like bug 145097, can probably be set to incomplete09:21
ubotuLaunchpad bug 145097 in xorg "Live session directly go to black screen" [Undecided,New]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/14509709:21
tormodin that bug I am not at all sure I am on the right track, would be nice if someone else takes a look.09:22
bryce_tormod, brian murray says the incomplete state should always be set when someone has at least taken a preliminary look, even if it's not clear what's going on09:23
tormodok, will do that every time then.09:23
bryce_cool thanks09:24
bryce_yeah I looked at this one too, and it seemed odd09:24
bryce_I wonder if it really is the screensaver coming on09:24
bryce_it sounds very familiar; I think I ran into something similar once09:24
bryce_however there the issue was that the clock got reset, so the screensaver *thought* a lot of time had passed and came on09:25
bryce_doesn't sound like this is happening here09:25
tormodyes I saw that earlier when coming back from hibernation, but that's fixed (I think).09:28
tormodif he could change the screensaver and then restart X we would see. But at this point I am not sure he and I understand each other.09:29
tormodscreensaver on/off is that logged somewhere? I guess not.09:31
bryce_I don't think it's logged, but it could be tested for using 'xset q'09:34
bryce_so something like xset q | grep -A 2 "Standby:" could be useful09:35
bryce_if those values are not 0, then it means a screensaver may be active09:36
tormodyou mean the built-in xorg screensaver, ok09:36
tormodI built an ati driver with verbose dpms messages, I could get him to try that. However, the blanking doesn't call dpms functions I guess, only when it's time to shut off the screen.09:38
tormodbtw the new ati packages (with more "mode" fixes) are done building in my ppa09:43
bryce_awesome09:43
bryce_Brice Goglin mentioned the multi-board multi-head bug on the xorg list (ATI + MGA)09:49
bdmurrayLooking at an Xorg.0.log I saw "(--) Chipset ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5A62 (PCIE) found" is 5A62 the product part of the pci id?10:05
bryce_I think almost certainly10:10
bryce_I notice ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M 5955 (PCIE) has pciid 1002:5955, so expect 5A62 would be similarly so10:10
bdmurrayI'm pretty sure too and was trying to figure out if lspci wasn't always necessary.10:11
bdmurrayI understand that ideally we would like it but instead of bothering a reporter for the umpteenth time.10:12
bryce_it's extremely rare that the device name would include the pciid like in this case10:19
bdmurrayThat is the device name?10:22
bdmurrayOkay, I see now.10:24
tormodthere are probably so many versions of 200M they had to put in a unique ID10:24
bdmurrayIt seems ATI specific my laptops just says "Chipset 945GM found"10:25
bryce_bbiab10:45
tormodbryce_: I suggest making a Gutsy/Xrandr page and link to it from the release notes. Otherwise it will be too much with links and workarounds.10:46
