Exilant Hi, I am running hardy(kubuntu) and experience a kind of system lock whenever i try to restart X or log out of it. No clue if that is a kdm or X or another problem. It happens on my machine(with fglrx) and on a friend's machine with intel graphics.17:07
ExilantCan anyone point me to some bug description(if tracked, found none myself), or tell me wich logfiles are important in that case?17:07
ExilantAlso, no clue what to make of the channel topic, complains about the line "exec >&3"17:09

james_wHi all.18:45
james_wI'm looking in to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/displayconfig-gtk/+bug/14772118:45
ubotuLaunchpad bug 147721 in displayconfig-gtk "displayconfig-gtk crashed with IndexError in _syncXorgConfig()" [Medium,Confirmed] 18:45
james_wit seems that guidance-backends is assuming that it will get at least one usable resolution from the current running screen or the monitor (I haven't followed the logic to find which it is looking at in this case).18:48
james_wit appears as though that is an unsafe assumption, is that correct?18:49
bryceright, especially with current xorg config19:00
brycejames_w: btw note that we're disabling displayconfig-gtk from the menu for Hardy, in preference for the new xrandr gui19:00
brycetjaalton: btw I notice that intel_reg_dumper is not being built since 2.2.1-1ubuntu2 due to libpciaccess being in universe, however even if I install it, I still cannot get it to build - does this also require a newer xserver or something?19:01
tjaaltonbryce: no, e19:08
tjaaltonuh19:08
tjaaltonbryce: i don't recall what I did in order to disable it, but it also needed a newer libpciaccess19:09
brycetjaalton: ahh19:11
brycetjaalton: I notice the entry in rules was commented out; don't know if there were additional changes to disable it.19:11
tjaaltonprobably not19:12
brycetjaalton: are we holding back on uploading a newer libpciaccess because of beta freeze, or were there additional reasons against it?19:14
tjaaltonI filed a freeze exception for it, but I backed off since it would have needed promotion to main19:15
brycehmm, since it's in universe, could would upgrade it to the newer one regardless of the freeze?19:16
bryceI could take care of doing that, if there aren't any other reasons to hold it back19:17
bryceit's not a huge deal, but jesse was asking about it yesterday19:17
tjaaltonnope, paperwork was needed so I didn't think it was that important19:17
bryceokies, I'll work on it a bit19:19
=== asac_ is now known as asac
james_wbryce: thanks. This bug is on the Hardy QA list, should it be dropped from there?19:30
james_whttp://people.ubuntu.com/~ogasawara/qa-hardy-list-archive/sort-by-package/platform-buglist.html if you don't know what I refer to19:30
* bryce looks19:31
brycejames_w: the "displayconfig-gtk loads with all widgets empty" is a known issue due to the xorg.conf hotplug stuff that went in for Hardy, and is the primary reason why we've dropped displayconfig-gtk from the menus in favor of the new xrandr gui19:34
brycejames_w: so yes, this can be closed.  Do you want me to do it, or would you like to?19:35
james_wbryce: I'm happy to do it, but I think that you will be able to explain the reason better than I.19:35
brycejames_w: sure no prob19:36
james_wthanks.19:36
brycejames_w: done (I may have gone overboard with the details... but hopefully it gives the complete story)20:50
james_wthanks.20:51
ubotuNew bug: #132199 in ubuntu "[needs-packaging] volume knob on dell keyboard (knob) (dup-of: 139582)" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13219920:57
brycetjaalton: I reopened your existing sync request for libpciaccess.  hope that's ok.  21:05
tjaaltonbryce: I don't mind ;)21:06
james_wbryce: that's an impressive level of detail21:24
james_wI have a couple of questions though.21:25
james_wThe bug that these users were experiencing were a consequence of the stuff that displayconfig-gtk could not handle?21:25
brycecorrect21:26
james_wand does the xrandr gui still use guidance-backends? Does anything?21:26
james_wI think that's where the bug really is.21:26
brycexrandr gui does not use guidance-backends21:26
bryceI believe kde has a tool which still uses guidance backends21:26
brycealso like I pointed out, displayconfig-gtk is still used for bulletproof-x mode, so guidance-backends is still required.21:26
seb128hey bryce21:26
james_wthanks, I'll ask the kubuntu team about it.21:27
seb128bryce: I've uploaded your gnome-control-center changes, you might want to ask slangasek for a freeze exception but that's likely late for beta now21:27
james_wand I'll open a guidance-backends task on the bug so that it shows up there.21:27
brycehi seb12821:28
bryceseb128: yeah sounds like it's late for beta but it should be ok as long as it goes in right after beta 21:28
seb128right21:28
