brycegood morning mvo07:38
mvohey bryce!07:38
brycemorning seb12808:25
seb128hello bryce08:25
seb128bryce: looks like try they landed the xrandr gtk changes in the new unstable tarball they rolled08:25
tjaaltonmorning guys08:25
bryceheya tjaalton08:26
bryceseb128: aha08:26
tjaaltonnvidia 9600GT.. a new blob should be on it's way then08:26
seb128we will not track the new serie for hardy but I'll have a look to backporting that to the stable one if they didn't do it yet08:26
bryceseb128: great08:26
bryceseb128: I emailed a couple patches your way for review.  The gnome-desktop one may be ready for inclusion; the daemon I think still needs more testing08:29
bryceI'm working on the gnome-control-center patch presently08:29
seb128ok08:29
seb128the freeze is still in action?08:29
bryceI'm not sure if steve's cut alpha5 yet08:30
seb128bryce: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/6875673/%3Cfdopen%3E08:47
seb128bryce: does that looks like an xorg bug to you or something the client lib is doing wrong rather?08:47
* bryce looks08:47
seb128that's bug #94076, looks like his computer was in a weird state, probably not worth spending to much work08:48
ubotuLaunchpad bug 94076 in gnome-panel "[apport] gnome-panel crashed with SIGSEGV in _dl_fini()" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/9407608:48
brycehmm, it looks like the error came in around #27-#29 and was due to a dropped music link connection08:50
brycethe _X stuff in #4-#7 look like just calls to set up the gtk error handling stuff08:51
bryceit's a fairly nasty looking backtrace though08:52
seb128I think #7 is the xorg call to change the icon used for the dialog08:53
seb128but it could be that the call is made using a broken argument08:53
bryceyeah08:53
seb128I asked the guy if he had the issue again08:53
seb128those bugs are not easy to debug if they can't be triggered08:53
bryceit sort of looks like the client app is entering a failure mode, and trying to send something to the X server (#6 an XSend call) but that's failing for whatever reason08:54
bryceyeah08:54
bryceI would guess it's that the error handling code is not making a valid call to the X server, so it's returning an error08:54
bryces/error/IO error/08:54
bryceI can easily imagine that - app developers often don't test their error handling logic as well as their routine operation logic, so there can be hidden bugs in it08:55
bryceI think it'd probably be necessary to synthetically reproduce the error situation in order to fully debug the issue08:57
brycebut there might already be enough info in that backtrace for upstream.08:57
seb128right09:11
seb128he wrote that the computer was not responding09:12
seb128it might have been that xorg or something was in a buggy state09:12
seb128anyway, let's see what he replies09:12
bryceah, like an out of memory situation or something...09:12
seb128if that was a one time thing I'll likely close the bug09:12

bryceseb128: hmm, interesting - some people report that it occurs only on upgrades, not fresh installs17:50
bryceseb128: especially with comment #108 it sounds like totem is getting messed up by old totem preferences imported from a prior install...  that'd be my guess based on the comments17:51
brycefrom comment 107 it sounds like the particular Totem settings are XV_SATURATION and XV_BRIGHTNESS17:52
bryceon the other hand, some people are also reporting trouble with other video players...  but maybe there is more than one bug being reported here17:52
bryceseb128: so from the comments it seems pretty clear its an issue with how totem handles its preference settings, and is not a driver bug17:56
seb128ok17:56
seb128I've no idea what XV_SATURATION and XV_BRIGHTNESS are though17:57
seb128and why totem would change those17:57
seb128#116 has the same issue using xine17:58
bryceI'm not familiar with them either, but can imagine how setting them to invalid values could result in the behavior described18:50
brycemy guess is that totem is changed how it interprets the values resulting in it using invalid settings18:51
bryceI think 116 may be an unrelated bug.  The commenter says his image differs from what others are reporting18:52
bryceseb128: have you had a chance to look at the packages I sent last night?18:55
seb128bryce: not really looked to those yet because we are frozen, but I plan to look at upload things which are good on monday if we are unfrozen18:58
seb128as said the GTK change is in trunk so likely good enough to be pushed to users ;-)18:59

seb128bryce: did you test the failsafe xorg on cds?20:16
seb128bryce: bug #194187, the guy says gdm doesn't restart after configuring xorg, not sure if that's something you read about before20:16
ubotuLaunchpad bug 194187 in gdm "livecd gdm failure after low-graphics dialog" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19418720:16
bryceseb128: on the alpha5 cd's?  no, but I know there are several issues20:16
seb128if I understand things correctly xorg doesn't start, he gets the displaygtk-config thing and then doesn't go back to gdm and can't log in20:17
brycehmm20:20
bryceinteresting, this is different than I expected20:21
bryceit looks like it's just that gdm is failing to get stopped / restarted properly by the scripts20:22
brycedisplayconfig-gtk seems to have all worked properly other than that, and it sounds like it generated a correctly working xorg.conf20:23
bryceperhaps it's an amd64 specific issue?  I didn't run into that in my testing of it20:24
seb128dunno, I tried on normal install but not on CD20:33
seb128is there a known issue that displayconfig-gtk breaks the keyboard layout in gutsy?20:34
bryceno not that I know of20:35
brycedisplayconfig-gtk didn't touch anything in relation to input configuration for gutsy20:35
