JohnPhyskees:  are you around?  Did you get a chance to look at Bug #195052?04:43
danagesaivann: you here?06:18
saivanndanage : hi06:21
danagehi... i followed up on our bug reports06:21
danagei wonder what is happening, sebastien complained it as a duplicate but noone changed the inaccurate bug description of the "original" bug06:23
saivanndanage : I know, I sent a mail to Sebastian himself after I got his comment to ask him to update the bug description and he answered me to post my request in the bug rather than asking him, but no one changed the description yet06:25
danagei guess considering the amount of bugs, strictly following procedure is a must, so i understand his reaction06:26
saivanndanage : Actually, I don't really know what I can do, I have no "super powers" on the gnome bugzilla bug tracker06:26
danageyeah, i saw your comment06:26
danagethere seem to be some pretty serious issues with gvfs left, i hope they get fixed before the release.06:26
saivanndanage : Of course, he did not set this bug as a duplicate without reasons, that's good job, however updating the title would probably help06:26
danageyeah i guess these kinds of things happen. we didn't really become aware the bugs might be related until late and some serious poking around06:28
saivanndanage : Me too :) But since I have almost no programming skills, I don't know how hard are bugs to fix so I respect developers who work very hard, taking time and doing a good job is already what they do :)06:28
saivanndanage : You asked people to look at a bluetooth bugs yesterday, but I answered you 2 minutes after you left the channel, what was that bug?06:29
danageyep... and the time before a release... they must be extremely busy06:29
danageah :)06:29
saivannHehe, extremely :)06:29
danagemy bluetooth mouse, it disconnects after a couple of minutes06:30
danagebut i know nothing of the bluez architecture in order to provide some information. a couple of other people reported similar issues, and i marked some duplicates on launchpad already06:30
saivanndanage : Really? I have a bluetooth mouse here too, but I've never seen a mouse work like that! Your mouse disconnects regularly at a fixed time interval?06:30
danagesaivann: if it is fixed, i do not know. i know that it doesn't correlate with the screensaver being activated06:31
saivanndanage : I mean, does your mouse disconnect every "" minutes?06:32
danageyeah, i don't know if its always the same amount of minutes, though06:33
saivanndanage : How did you configure the bluetooth mouse? Did you edit some conf. files or you just used the bluez-gnome applet in the right-top border of your screen to connect your mouse?06:33
danagegood question. i activated hidd, because it is disactivated by default. other than that, i only used the applett06:34
saivanndanage : Great that you started to triage bugs :) Be always careful when you set bugs as duplicates, we must always be sure that these are really duplicates06:34
danagei am pretty sure on this one06:34
danagehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez-utils/+bug/19754906:35
saivanndanage : That might be the problem.. Actually, the only thing I did in my case was to connect my mouse using bluez-gnome, and it works flawlessly, even when the mouse die because of low batteries, it automatically reconnect when the mouse ressurect06:35
danagewhat might be the problem? hidd has to be activated, right?06:36
saivanndanage : I'm not a expert with bluetooth, so I don't have the answer to this. So far what I know is that using bluez-gnome without anything else always worked06:36
danagei think that is what i am using, too06:38
saivanndanage : According to http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/telecommande_bluetooth, it looks like hidd doesn't need to be enabled since Gutsy. I looked at my /etc/default/bluetooth and I have HIDD_ENABLED=006:41
saivanndanage : And I use a bluetooth mouse currently06:42
saivanndanage : It might be a bug or a misconfiguration problem06:42
=== asac_ is now known as asac
danagesaivann: thank you! i will take a shot restoring the original config06:46
saivanndanage : I'm also looking at this too because I don't even know how to connect my mouse with the new bluez-gnome P06:47
saivann:P*06:47
saivannOh I got it, wonderful06:48
danageis there any other config file besides /etc/default/bluetooth06:49
danagehidd/hci config?06:49
saivanndanage : I don't think so, but I might be wrong06:50
saivanndanage : /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf ?06:51
danageyes06:51
danagesaivann: we should maybe continue this privately so as not to spam06:52

askandhggdh: I dont really know how to save text when running a livecd with HAL out of order really..13:07
hggdhaskand: yes, this is a bit more complex...13:11
hggdhaskand: an option is to take a picture (if you can)13:11
hggdhthe problem is otherwise we do not have enough data to work on13:11
askandhggdh: Ill try that13:14
askandhggdh: But I already knows what causes it I think...13:14
askandhggdh: If I blacklist saa7134_alsa I do not get that error13:14
hggdhaskand: thanks for helping13:14
hggdhaskand: then -- if you can indeed boot blacklisting this module, state that in the bug13:15
hggdhafter booting, try to load it, and see what happens13:15
hggdhthis is good info13:15
askandhggdh: Im not really sure how to boot blacklist..do I add something in grub?13:17
hggdhah, this is livecd... hold on, let me see if I can find something13:18
Nafalloafflux: naah. lets wait for the new upstream release.13:24
hggdhaskand: I do not know how to block a dynamic module load from livecd, sorry.  But the saa7174-alsa has some options:13:37
hggdhMODULE_PARM_DESC(debug,"enable debug messages [alsa]");13:38
hggdhMODULE_PARM_DESC(index, "Index value for SAA7134 capture interface(s).");13:38
hggdhMODULE_PARM_DESC(enable, "Enable (or not) the SAA7134 capture interface(s).");13:38
hggdhaskand: so, at least you can try enabling debug and disabling capture to see what happens13:38
hggdhyou can also try #ubuntu+1 or the alsa channels13:39

hggdhyou did install on harddisk?14:51
askandhggdh: yes thats right14:51
askandhggdh: and then afterinstallation blacklisted that module14:51
hggdhso now -- if you do not blacklist the module -- you should have the same error, right?14:51

ffmSadly we're in RC and frozen like Tux in the winter, so very little will be changed.19:03

james_wso it's not easily reproducible?19:05
ffmjames_w: Hold on, I'll retest.19:05
james_wthat would make it hard to debug.19:05
james_wgreat, thanks.19:05
mrooneyis there any way to debug freezes? twice yesterday the system locked up completely except that I could move the mouse around, but no keyboard, mouseclicks, not even ctrl+alt+backspace did anything19:15
mrooneyI just had to hold the power button down until it turned off :[19:15
ffmmrooney: Did the magic sysreq key work?19:17
mrooneyI have never had any luck with those, what is the magic key?19:18
ffmmrooney: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key19:19
ffmjames_w: Uh, yeah, its reproducable.19:19
ffmjames_w: I just tried to install, and the package installation hung. This could be an issue if, say, you were in the middle of a distro upgrade? (it should at least time out...)19:20
james_wmrooney: I've seen that as well, but I haven't had a chance to try and debug it yet19:20
james_wffm: is it still hanging?19:20
ffmjames_w: When I apt-get it, yeah.19:20
james_wffm: but you've killed it now?19:21
james_wffm: can you make it hang again and then try and find the guilty process?19:21
mrooneyffm: ooh, you have to hold ALT too!19:21
james_wffm: "ps aux" will be a good place to start looking.19:21
mrooneyI was doing the REISUB thing but not while also holding alt19:21

james_wmrooney: does that match yours?19:22
ffmjames_w: No, I havn't killed it.19:23
mrooneyjames_w: I feel like it was when using transmission, actually19:23
ffmjames_w: In any case, I'm not going to reinstall gutsy, install the package, then try to break my install in my dist-upgrade. I think this is the same bug.19:23
james_wffm: I'm sure it's the same problem, if you can find the offending process we can find out why it is hanging, which will make fixing it a lot easier19:24
