| james_w | seb128: does http://paste.ubuntu.com/6973/ correctly preserve translations? | 09:56 |
| seb128 | james_w: hum, was it translatable before? it's not between _() | 09:57 |
| james_w | oh yeah, I didn't notice that. | 09:57 |
| seb128 | james_w: and I would rather use 2 times the same strings rather than introduce a variable, especially than we will be wanting to change one variant next cycle | 09:57 |

| james_w | should I mark them translatable? | 09:58 |
| seb128 | yes please | 09:58 |

| james_w | I'm not very familiar with debugging this type of segfault, if we have | 11:44 |
| james_w | rw_mode_get_width (mode=0x3) at randrwrap.c:1104 | 11:44 |
| james_w | where mode is a pointer, and then a valgrind with | 11:44 |
| james_w | Invalid read of size 4 | 11:44 |
| james_w | Address 0xf is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd | 11:44 |
| james_w | from that function does that indicate that the pointer is being overwritten somewhere | 11:45 |
| james_w | following the flow of the code I can't see anything wrong in the logic yet | 11:45 |
| seb128 | james_w: that means the code access a non valid memory address | 11:45 |
| seb128 | james_w: usually that's something used after being freed for example | 11:46 |
| seb128 | james_w: or a pointer being overwritten | 11:46 |
| james_w | ok, it's not obvious to me where this could be happening. | 11:47 |
| james_w | the stacktrace omits some functions, would this be due to optimisations? | 11:48 |
| seb128 | james_w: yes, likely | 11:52 |
| seb128 | james_w: looking to the code | 11:55 |
| james_w | there are a bunch of code paths that call that function, so I'm not sure exactly which is being taken to trigger this, I've tried to follow them all, and haven't seen anything yet | 11:58 |

| jcristau | gdb should be able to handle them | 12:01 |
| seb128 | well, -O2 stacktrace are not accurate for sure, I'm not sure to what it's due | 12:01 |

| seb128 | 12:07 | |
| seb128 | james_w: that seems to indicate that the if condition in the loop is never true and it uses an uninitialised value | 12:07 |
| seb128 | james_w: using | 12:07 |
| seb128 | - RWMode **modes; | 12:07 |
| seb128 | + RWMode **modes = NULL; | 12:08 |
| seb128 | might be enough | 12:08 |
| james_w | yeah, that sounds sensible | 12:08 |
| seb128 | l336 is the "if (!modes)" one | 12:09 |

| seb128 | james_w: could be the same bug | 12:12 |
| seb128 | james_w: did you try to run the capplet under valgrind using xgl? | 12:12 |
| james_w | no, I didn't | 12:15 |
| james_w | that one has "on_screen_changed (scr=0x0", which is probably the cause | 12:16 |
| seb128 | right | 12:24 |
| seb128 | james_w: ok, so your packages work but you built using -O0 right? | 13:17 |
| james_w | yes, noopt,nostrip | 13:17 |
| seb128 | ok, so it doesn't tell us if the fix is enough | 13:18 |
| seb128 | I've asked for a new valgrind log | 13:18 |
| seb128 | noopt will do -O0 and variables will be initialized | 13:18 |
| seb128 | which will hide the non-initialized issues | 13:18 |
| james_w | ah, ok, shall I build some packages with the patch but normal build options? | 13:18 |
| seb128 | you have other pending changes right? I would say to just upload the patch from this morning and this init now | 13:19 |
| seb128 | or maybe try to fix the other crasher under xgl | 13:19 |
| james_w | it sounds like he is suffering from an issue that would trigger this, i.e. (config->outputs[i]->connected) is probably never true for him | 13:20 |
| seb128 | right | 13:20 |
| james_w | yeah, I'll look in to the other one that you pointed me to and see if we can roll in that fix as well. | 13:20 |
| seb128 | cool, thanks | 13:20 |
| james_w | I don't think I can't reproduce any of these Xgl bugs anymore though unfortunately, it fails so early for me that it barely covers any of the code. | 13:21 |
| james_w | this other one looks pretty straightforward though. | 13:22 |
| seb128 | right | 13:24 |
| tjaalton | soren: please push your fix for mdetect, I'll change the vmmouse-handling.. Of course I should've noticed that the damn package doesn't exist for !{amd64,i386} :P | 14:31 |
| tjaalton | so no wonder those suckers have no mouse | 14:31 |
| soren | tjaalton: You run mdetect as root, right_ | 14:37 |
| soren | ? | 14:37 |
| tjaalton | soren: yes, it's done on xserver-xorg.postinst (dexconf) | 14:39 |
| soren | tjaalton: Great. | 14:41 |
| tjaalton | hum, xserver-xorg needs to depend on mdetect then | 14:44 |
| tjaalton | now it only recommends it | 14:44 |
| tjaalton | soren: do you have mdetect installed by default on your virtual machines? I wonder if Recommends should suffice | 14:58 |
| soren | tjaalton: I don't. | 14:58 |
| tjaalton | ok, so it needs to be bumped | 14:58 |
| tjaalton | soren: what do you think of bug 216276? | 15:02 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 216276 in kvm "Regression: mouse support stopped working" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/216276 | 15:02 |
| tjaalton | (EE) xf86OpenSerial: No Device specified. | 15:03 |
| soren | tjaalton: Er, yeah, vmmouse requires a device to be set. | 15:03 |
| * soren hasn't read the bug, but from the context, I guess that's the issue. | 15:04 | |
| * soren reads the bug | 15:04 | |
| tjaalton | soren: ah, ok. | 15:04 |
| soren | Well, just /dev/input/mice works fine. | 15:04 |
| soren | AFAIR. | 15:04 |
| soren | Is that so bad? | 15:04 |
| tjaalton | soren: no, if it doesn't change :) | 15:04 |
| soren | What? The presence of /dev/input/mice? Why would that change? | 15:05 |
| tjaalton | it shouldnt | 15:05 |
| tjaalton | anyway, I'll add a check to add the device if it's a virtual setup | 15:06 |
| soren | Ok, cool. We should check that it works, though, but I belive it does. | 15:06 |
| soren | tjaalton: Ok. It should be almost functionally equivalent, but if you're more comfortable that way, that's cool. | 15:07 |
| soren | "almost" because in case we're converting a physical install to a virtual install (something I intend to work on a bit for intrepid), it'll need config changes. | 15:09 |
| seb128 | james_w: how is the update going? | 15:09 |
| james_w | I'm hainvg trouble tracking this other one down | 15:13 |

| james_w | ah, did I add that? | 15:19 |
| seb128 | yes | 15:20 |
| seb128 | is there an update pending upload? | 15:20 |
| seb128 | I'm not sure if your debdiff were work on progress or sponsoring request, maybe there was some misunderstanding and something should have been uploaded but has not been yet? | 15:20 |
