seb128lool: yes, too short but good ;-) What about you?08:56
seb128slomo: not that I know, no, why?08:56
slomoseb128: because it was broken until my gstreamer0.10 upload some seconds ago :) simply stopped playing very often for no good reason08:57

slomoseb128: hm, maybe sync swfdec-mozilla, swfdec-gnome and swfdec0.6 :) it's part of gnome 2.2211:37
seb128slomo: swfdec is no, only -gnome, but yeah, I would like to get those uptodate in hardy11:38
seb128I've been too busy with other things though11:38
seb128I think for the good form somebody should get an uvf exception11:39
slomoseb128: right, only -gnome but -gnome depends on swfdec0.6 and old swfdec-mozilla won't work anymore from what i see ;)11:39
slomoso this does need uvf exception? *sigh*11:39
seb128or slangasek or pitti approval11:40

sorenI just upgraded my wife's laptop to hardy. Starting evolution I'm being asked to restore from a backup. I didn't make one, so I chose "Next". Now I need to configure evolution all over again. Is that expected?13:44
seb128soren: no13:47
seb128soren: did you keep the user directory?13:47
seb128soren: it should ask no question at all, if you get the backport question it handle it as a first start13:47
sorenseb128: Sure, I used update-manager to do the upgrade.13:48
seb128soren: that's very weird13:48
seb128soren: is gconf working correctly?13:49
sorenI see it running.13:49
sorenStarted 40 minutes ago, which is consistent with login time.13:50
seb128can you browse apps, evolution in gconf-editor?13:50
sorenI had a gnome-terminal profile set up on her box which was lost as well.13:50
seb128are you sure you are logged using the correct user?!13:50
=== walters_ is now known as walters
sorenseb128: Yes, but I just set up evolution again, so that's not really surprising. I wish I could have kept it for debugging, but my wife needed it for work :/13:51
seb128did you have other things customized? the gnome-panel layouts, background image, etc?13:51
sorenHeh.. Yes, it's the only (non-system) user on the machine.13:51
seb128are those still correct?13:51
sorenNope.13:52
sorenBut.13:52
sorenI pointed my wife at the upgrade instructions. They said to make sure the current system was completely up-to-date.13:52
soren...after bringing the gutsy system up-to-date, her background was reset to the default gutsy one.13:52
seb128there is something weird going on there13:53
seb128did you fix that too?13:53
sorenfix it? No, I just shrugged. :)13:54
sorenI didn't think much of it at the time (it was quite late last night).13:54
sorenIn retrospect, I probably should have, but here we are.13:54
seb128well, is the background still broken?13:54
sorenIt's the default hardy one now.13:54
soren(With the heron and all that)13:54
seb128in which case, open gconf-editor, go to desktop, gnome, background13:54
seb128and look at the value here13:54
seb128then .gconf13:55
seb128and grep for the key name13:55
seb128and look at the values in the .xml13:55
seb128then .gconf -> then cd .gconf13:55
seb128I'm curious to know if the gconf database on disk is still correct13:55
seb128all you describe is that you get no gconf user datas used13:56
sorengconf-editor says: /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png13:56
sorenOh!13:56
seb128grep .gconf now for the key name13:56
sorenThe xml file does not.13:56
seb128ok13:56
seb128so something nuked your .gconf directory it looks like13:57
seb128which is really weird13:57
soren-rw------- 1 anne anne 783 2005-11-30 01:41 %gconf.xml13:57
seb128did you get disk issues?13:57
seb128hum13:57
seb128is that .gconf/desktop/gnome/background?13:57
seb128what does the file contain?13:58
sorenHang on. Pastebinning.13:58
sorenhttp://pastebin.com/m41623f9f13:59
sorenbut the file referenced in there is not the background she had yesterday.13:59
sorenWhich adds to the confusion.13:59
sorenOh... hang on.13:59
seb128and it's not the one used now either?13:59
sorenNope. She still has the default hardy one.14:00
soren$ ls -l /home/anne/.gconf/%gconf-tree.xml14:00
soren-rw------- 1 anne anne 93614 2008-03-25 14:58 /home/anne/.gconf/%gconf-tree.xml14:00
seb128how old is this installation?14:01
seb128that looks like a merged gconf tree14:01
sorenThe oldest kernel still isntalled is the breezy one.14:01
seb128we did it during edgy unstable I think14:02
sorenI *think* it used to have hoary on it, too.14:02
seb128one your gconf tree is merged this file is used14:02
seb128so look in this file the background key value14:02
sorenIt's blank.14:02
sorenSo that explains why it's using the default one.14:02
seb128the file or the value?14:02
seb128the file is not according to your ls14:03
sorenThe value. Sorry.14:03
seb128the file is small though14:03
seb128could you move it out of the way?14:03
sorenNo, it's not blank. It's missing, apparantly.14:03
sorenErm.. I *could*.14:03
seb128that's not going to break anything14:04
seb128you can move it back it'll be used again14:04
* Hobbsee wonders how to put exaile in mono-mode14:04
seb128restart gconfd-2 between14:04
seb128it autorespawn when used, easy14:04
sorenBut seeing as the other xml files are all from 2005, I'm not really fond of the idea.14:04
seb128soren: ok, well the %gconf-tree.xml is really small14:05
seb128soren: I would tend to say your version got destroyed and the only changes you have that are the thing you reconfigured since yesterday14:05
sorenIt's not smaller than the sum of all the other .xml files.14:05
seb128ok, mine is 1.3meg14:05
seb128for comparaison14:05
soren!! What?14:05
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about what? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi14:05
sorenIt's a text file!14:05
sorenDude, what did you put in there?14:06
seb128soren: no, it's an xml file, and there is lot of things there14:06
seb128soren: evolution put all the account configurations there for example14:06
sorenIt still contains network-manager's data.14:06
seb128you got no disk corruption?14:06
sorenBoth for VPN and wifi, so it's not been completely reset.14:06
sorenNot that I know of.14:07
seb128k, so I guess we will no figure what happened, nothing in the standard set of package touch the user configuration on upgrade14:07
seb128and nothing at all should do that14:07
seb128but something damaged the gconf configure there apparently14:07
seb128my best guess is some kind of local corruption14:07
seb128we didn't get any other user question nor bug about similar issues14:08
sorenCraptastic.14:08
seb128and you have different keys which has been changed14:08
sorenOk, what's the current way to store gconf stuff? In the merged file or in separate files?14:08
seb128background and evolution config have nothing to do with each other14:08
seb128the user gconf config uses separate files by default14:09
seb128we did a merged try during one unstable cycle14:09
seb128I would say edgy but I'm not sure14:09
shiyeesoren: maybe theres errors in .xsession-errors on why it failed (long shot)?14:09
seb128and we reverted because that creates locking issue on nfs14:09
seb128but once you have a merged config it's used for ever14:09
sorenseb128: And there's no way to unmerge it?14:10
sorenshiyee: Nothing of particular interest in there.14:10
seb128not that I know, gconf-merge-tree does the merging, you can look at the logic and revert it14:10
seb128soren: well, that should work14:10
seb128(30 seconds)14:11
seb128use gconftool-2 --dump to dump the whole config somewhere14:11
seb128move .gconf away14:11
seb128and use --load to reload from the dump you did14:11
seb128the first one write all the keys and values14:12
seb128and the second one will read those14:12
seb128that's an easy way to backup and restore the base, it should write to the standard splitted xml14:12
sorenseb128: Ah, right. Of course.14:14
seb128soren: so, did it work?14:30
