pittiseb128: I don't understand the test case in bug 21120512:03
ubottuLaunchpad bug 211205 in gvfs "gvfs-fuse-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV in g_output_stream_close()" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21120512:03
pittiseb128: there's nothing at all in ~/.gvfs after mounting my USB hard disk (with some music on it)12:03
pittiseb128: why should it mount my HD under ~/.gvfs? it's already in /media/ after all?12:04
seb128pitti: hum12:29
seb128pitti: right, I tried using ssh to localhost12:30
seb128you have a point about the local mount12:31
seb128using ssh to localhost rather ;-)12:31
seb128pitti: upstream tested on a mtp devices but it was mounted by the gphoto backend which gives a fuse mount too, I've updated the testcase instructions12:37
pittiaah12:40
seb128pitti: about bug #226831, I'm not sure what testcase we can use, it doesn't fix launchpad bugs that I know12:40
ubottuLaunchpad bug 226831 in gnome-panel "2.22.1.3 stable update" [Wishlist,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22683112:40
pittiseb128: ok, then we just test 'still works for me'?12:41
seb128pitti: do we need upstream bug fix versions to fix known bugs in launchpad?12:41
pittiseb128: I was just interested in the effective diff, since we already had some patches12:41
pitti(especially for teh clock)12:41
seb128pitti: yes, basically, we test "no regression in daily use"12:41
seb128pitti: I can attach that to the bug if you want12:41
seb128we had 2 of the upstream changes backported12:42
pittiah, ok12:42
pittiso we should concentrate testing to the clock applet12:42
seb128yes, only the clock changed12:42
seb128as you can see on the diffstat ;-)12:42
seb128do you want me to add some instructions? like add some locations, switch between those, verify that /etc/timezone is correctly updated when clicking on set and that the clock is correct?12:44
seb128I did that on my box before uploading12:44
pittihm, WTH?12:45
pittiseb128: sure, that can't hurt12:45
pittiseb128: I downgraded gvfs again, for testing the update12:45
pittiI logged in, and I only have "? ? ? ? ? ? .gvfs"12:45
pittiand ls .gvfs says "transport endpoint not connected"12:45
pittihowever, on my normal user, ~/.gvfs is a normal directory12:45
seb128pitti: fusermount -u .gvfs12:46
pittigvfsd is still running, though12:46
seb128pitti: then /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-fuse-daemon .gvfs12:46
pittiah, now it's back12:46
seb128pitti: that's bug #21278912:46

seb128pitti: nothing is unmounting the fuse mount between logins, that's on my 8.04.1 list12:47
seb128pitti: you don't need to restart the session though to test, just fusermount -u .gvfs && /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfs-fuse-daemon .gvfs12:48
pittiright12:48
seb128you can also attach gdb to it to make sure it's crashing12:48
pittiI did it anyway12:48
seb128ok12:48
pitti(gdmflexiserver -l)12:48
pittibut it wasn't crashing for me12:48
seb128do you get the crash before update?12:48
seb128hum12:48
pittitotem and rhythmbox on .gvfs/.../ worked fine12:48
pittiI downgraded to the hardy final packages12:48
pittiall binaries of the gvfs source12:48
seb128pitti: you have many songs there?12:49
pittiI tried a dir with 12 songs12:49
seb128it takes a few seconds to get a crash on my config12:49
seb128ah, that might not be enough12:49
pittiI can also try a dir with some 100s12:49
pittiok, retrying12:49
seb128I tried on my collection12:49
seb128you need to hammer a bit the thing12:49
seb12812 songs is not a lot of datas12:49
pittiaah12:50
pittiI pointed it to my entire music collection12:51
seb128good ;-)12:51
pitti(fresh user)12:51
pittiit stopped at imoprting the 69th song12:51
pittiand now I can't play anything12:51
pittigvfsd is still running, though12:51
* pitti upgrades and tests again12:51
seb128did the fuse daemon crashed?12:51
pittihm, unsure; should have looked better; but in any case the apps were hanging12:52
seb128ok12:52
seb128ls .gvfs12:52
seb128if it's not connected the daemon crashed12:53
pittigvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/joe/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=joe)12:53
seb128right, the mount is not cleaned when the daemon crash, that's the bug I pointed before12:54
pittiupdated, restarted session, importing again; it's on the 150th song now12:55
pittilooks good so far12:55
seb128cool ;-)12:56
pittibug updated12:58
seb128thanks12:59
pittiseb128, mvo: btw, does any of you have an ATI card where fglrx works? I need someone to verify bug 20802612:59
ubottuLaunchpad bug 208026 in jockey "gnome-appearance-properties asks for reboot if you cancel ATI driver install" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20802612:59
seb128pitti: I do12:59
seb128will try this one12:59
pittiseb128: merci!13:00
seb128pitti: btw there is a new evolution-data-server stable update version, it has migration code for the password to the text encoded version to the keyring, do you think it's something suitable for an update?13:00
pittioh, nice13:01
pittiseb128: will that work for people who already 'manually' migrated?13:01
seb128the code is not too complex, it has been written by one upstream and approved by somebody else from their team and I've verified it works fine for me13:01
pittii. e. if the user already set a password in the keyring, the migration code should probably not do anything13:01
pittibut it would solve the issue nicely for upgrades13:02
seb128pitti: that's not possible, e-d-s is build without the keyring at the moment13:02
seb128pitti: because there was no migration13:02
seb128pitti: and we didn't want users to have to enter their passwords again on upgrade13:02
pittiseb128: hm, how is that solved in hardy right now then? what saves the passwords?13:02
pittiseb128: ah, I see; you can configure it to use either keyring or evo-specific password storage?13:02
seb128right now it's base64 encoded in a text file13:03
seb128yes13:03
seb128they added the code which reads the base64 encoded file and copy the password in the keyring13:03
seb128so if we build using the keyring it'll be transparent for users13:03
pittithat sounds good13:04
pittidoes it properly clean up the old file afterwards?13:04
seb128yes13:05
seb128it does migrate the password when you use it for the first time13:05
seb128and delete it from the base64 text file when it has been copied in the keyring13:06
pittiawesome13:06
* pitti -> lunch, bbl13:06
seb128pitti: enjoy13:06
mvopitti: I have one, if seb128 is not faster, I can do it later13:12
seb128jockey doesn't ask if I want to install fglrx, not sure why13:15
seb128$ jockey-gtk --check-composite13:19
seb128There is no available graphics driver for your system which supports the composite extension.13:19
seb128not sure why it's saying that13:19

huatslut seb12813:26
seb128'lu huats13:26
pittiseb128: it shouldn't, since radeon already provides composite support13:47
pittiseb128: the output string is bad, indeed13:48
seb128pitti: when does it suggest installing fglrx then?13:51
pittiseb128: hm, good point13:52
pittiseb128: that was bug 207957, and fixed in hardy final already13:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 207957 in jockey "Driver manager tries to install unneeded FGLRX driver for Compiz" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/20795713:52
pittiseb128: so I guess this only really works for nvidia cards13:53
* pitti adjusts the bug13:53
seb128pitti: does it look at the currently used driver?13:53
pittiseb128: no, jockey doesn't know the current driver; that's compiz' job13:53
seb128pitti: I can try to switch to vesa13:53
pittino, that won't help :(13:54
seb128pitti: well, the question is "if I use vesa, will it recommend fglrx"?13:54
seb128ok13:54
pittithere's a bug against g-c-c to just try and start compiz, and only if that fails, call jockey13:54
pittionce it does that, we can sanitize the logic in jockey again13:54
pittiright now it works around the fact that g-c-c *always* calls --check-composite13:54
seb128ok13:55
pittiso I had to cripple it a bit to not suggest fglrx over radeon, etc.13:55
seb128I can try to hack the logic to test the install cancellation if you want13:55
pittibug updated13:55
pittiseb128: that would be good13:56

pittidrop the 'ati' and 'radeon' from the list13:56
pittithen --check-composite will claim that you need fglrx13:56
pittioh, wait13:57
pittiseb128: indeed, with that 'vesa' should suggest to install fglrx13:57
pittiseb128: sorry about that13:57
seb128let me try13:57
pittiI forgot that I recently added this check of xorg.conf13:57
pittiseb128: so, just change xorg.conf to vesa (you don't actually need to restart X)13:57

emberpitti i have -new and jockey is enable and In use14:20
