secretlondonhorrible things to debug, I have with my laptop, which i think may actually be thermal00:00
LimCoreRAOF: that should fix that nvidia bug? or is it needed to have installed true non-SMP kernel and drivers00:00
RAOFLimCore: That should fix it; it only appears when two CPUs are running.00:00
RAOFLimCore: Ok, more than one CPU :)00:01
* LimCore stops shopping for quad core then00:01
LimCoreMAIN CPU, TURN OFF00:01
* LimCore echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online00:03
* secretlondon has found yet _another_ problem with rhythmbox's cd ripping00:04
LimCoresecretlondon: QA of linux software often makes me sad00:04
secretlondonwell it's not thinking about uses in this case.00:05
LimCoresecretlondon: about hardware lockups on laptop - do you have then corrupted FS because of that?00:05
LimCoreI used to use reiser, and after some hw problems my FS got horribly mangled00:05
secretlondonLimCore: no thankfully it's okay, nothing obviously broken so far00:05
LimCorenow I use ext300:06
* secretlondon adds that CD to the "I can't rip because rhythmbox is brain damaged" pile00:06
RAOFsecretlondon: Really?  Tried Banshee (from the beta PPA)?  It's cool, and I hooked up the error-detection/correction code in it :)00:07
secretlondonROAF: thanks, I'll have a look00:07
secretlondonROAF: rhythmbox won't rip multiple artist CDs, it puts them all in different folders :(00:08
secretlondonROAF: and there is no way of stopping it00:08
RAOFAh, right.  I'm not sure whether banshee does that correctly yet, either.  But there's certainly been discussion of the VA problem.00:09
secretlondonand I used to use kaudioextractor under gnome but that seems borked for some reason00:09
LimCorehow to debug hard lockups?00:10
LimCoreplugin some funky cpu debugger or something?00:10
LimCorewould be so nice to start second CPU and restart mobo without loosing memory content to debug it.00:10
secretlondonthere's some reference to sshing into a dead box00:10
secretlondonnot tried it though00:10
LimCoreor a hardware solution to dump memory into partion00:11
LimCore* into something, i.e. firewire or eth or serial00:11
RAOFLimCore: One of the fundamental problems with that is 'how do you know the kernel's discio subsystem isn't broken'.00:11
RAOFIE: It _thinks_ it's writing to the right spot on disc, but it's actually scrobbling all over your partition table.00:12
LimCoredump to serial00:12
RAOFYeah; better.00:12
LimCoreit should be in hardware I guess00:12
LimCorelike, a chip that cuts off the CPU on watchdog alarm,  and then just read entire memory to serial00:13
RAOFThere's netconsole or somesuch thing, and a bunch of other kernel logging things; but they're patches against mainline AFAIK.00:13
LimCoreIm thinking lower level. if entire cpu is totally dead00:13
LimCorelike adapter for ram chip00:14
LimCoreyou put ram into it,  and it into mobo.  normally it simply acts like 2 cm "cable/extender".  but press a button and then it disconnects from mainboard, and reads all memrory into a wire using buildin chip (using mobo only to take power)00:15
RAOFThat'd be pretty sweet.00:15
LimCorememory actually survives 10 - 120 seconds after power off00:19
LimCorefrom what I read00:19
LimCoreso actually, just moving stick into other box really fast should do it (with bios/etc that do NOT zero it out on bootup)00:20

LimCorestupid nvidia bug, I'm on to you.00:23
=== sectech_ is now known as sectech
RAOFLimCore: Even longer if you quickly cool it to -50C with compressed air :)00:33
LimCoreor simply use liquid nitrogen, its just like 10 usd00:36
LimCoreactually... that might work!00:36
ffmbdmurray: ping00:53
bdmurrayffm: hi00:55
ffmbdmurray: Have you had time to look at my bugcontrol app yet?00:56
bdmurrayffm: No, but I could do that right now.00:58
ffmbdmurray: That'd be great, thanks.01:01
ffm(not to be a bother...)01:01
secretlondonRAOF: doesn't look like banshee can rip multiple artist CDs either01:18
RAOFGah.  Sorry for leading you down a rabbit hole.01:18
RAOFI thought that had been fixed; clearly that's still TODO :(01:18
lifelessI use grip01:19
secretlondonnah that's fine, I'm sick of rhythmbox01:19

greg-ghorrible settings interface, but, luckily you only need to do that once01:27
secretlondongreg-g well I know _exactly_ how I want my music drive laid out01:28
secretlondonI've been re-ripping my CDs and keep running into rhythmbox breakage01:28
sectechIs there anything special when it comes to translation bugs?01:35
greg-gyeah, rhythmbox has never been a solution for me for anything besides listening to online radio01:35
sectechA reporter just posted a bug about a spelling mistaken in synaptic... I confirmed as I was able to reproduce it01:35
sectechbug 22844101:35
ubottuLaunchpad bug 228441 in synaptic "Spelling error in Add/Remove..." [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22844101:35
bdmurrayI'll fix it but in the future tagging them as string-fix and bitesize would be helpfl01:37
sectechbdmurray, do we have documentation on what to do in translation problems? Or should I add that to my own personal instructions?01:38
bdmurraythat's english though right?01:38
sectechyep... US English01:38
sectechk... so for translations add the tags string-fix and bitesize01:42
bdmurraynot for translations, most of the dialogs are written in English and then translated to other languages01:42
sectechOkay so just US English01:43
sectech?01:43
sectechMan I could make my own wiki with the documentation I'm making lol01:43
bdmurraybitesize is for bugs that are easy to fix01:43
bdmurraystring-fix is for dialog changes01:43
sectechOkay01:44
sectechthanks bdmurray01:44
bdmurrayHowever wrt this bug add/remove is not synaptic01:44
sectechoh... my mistake for not catching that.... sorry....01:45
bdmurraywell, I'm confused about where the misspelling is01:46
sectechDid you see the guys screen snap?01:46
sectechbasically a space is missing I believe... brb I'll recreate it01:47
secretlondono space between is and already01:47
bdmurrayright, I meant which package01:47

secretlondoi'll transcribe it and add it to the bug01:48
sectechps -aux shows synaptic...01:48
sectechheh I wonder how that spelling mistake was missed during testing01:49
bdmurrayI've got to run for dinner but will check it out later.01:50
secretlondosectech actually people regularly overlook those sort of errors, we read it as it should be.01:50

* greg-g assumes bdmurray has most of the bug documentation wiki page names/addresses memorized01:55
secretlondonargh - grip hasn't installed vorbis tools01:57
greg-gprobably a suggested but not dependent package01:58
sectechOkay here is a good example of a bug where I have no idea what to mark it as...  bug #22843801:58
ubottuLaunchpad bug 228438 in clamav "clamav version is outdated" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22843801:58
sectechA statement with a reply....01:59
sectechand not a bug01:59
secretlondonwell invalid or fix released. Often we use fixed released for available in devel version01:59
sectechOkay so in this case fix released would be okay?02:00
greg-gyeah, it looks like scott just forgot to set the status02:00
secretlondonI think fix released will wind him up02:00
secretlondonso invalid, as he specifically asked for a backport02:01
sectechOkay... invalid it is02:01
sectechSome of these are easy to deal with... bug #228429 specifically asked for a wishlist.... although I am not sure if there might be an explanation that could be given...02:03
ubottuLaunchpad bug 228429 in dpkg "wishlist: handling of duplicate files" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22842902:03
sectechI didn't touch that one at all yet02:03
secretlondonwe see two packages providing the same file as a bug02:04
secretlondonbut I've set that to wishlist anyway02:04
greg-gcould ask them to file a bug report against the problem package(s)02:05
sectechgreg-g, that might be helpful....02:05
sectechbecause I don't think what he is reporting is that common02:06
sectechAFAIK02:06
secretlondonwhen you get it it's very annoying02:06
secretlondonbut it'll be reported against the package that won't install02:06
sectechI'll make the request02:06
* secretlondon is ripping her first cd with grip02:07
secretlondonI've confirmed the bug that grip should depend on vorbis tools, as it can't rip without it02:07
secretlondonbut i'm not sure what the rules are for depends/recommends02:07
sectechpedro_,  I noticed you closed one of the bugs that I requested a backtrace on... bug #228376... Should I be asking for a new apport bug like you did where a backtrace is needed?02:23

pedro_yeah, will contact him maybe he's not aware of the issue02:33
secretlondonand there are some windows spam viruses going around02:33
secretlondonmcisbackuk, I think that's the kernel, which should be the same02:34
secretlondonwhich driver do you get instead? (and it's all the same machine, right?)02:34
mcisbackuksecretlondon: I haven't had a problem before, I was using Ubuntu Hardy, not 2 hours ago, it was perfectly fine...02:34
mcisbackukermmmm.....fglrx but its not configured in the xorg.conf file, and since I don't know how to rewrite it to work I'm here for help, and to say its a bug02:35
secretlondonmcisbackuk, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Debugging02:36
secretlondonxorg.conf is now really minimal and doesn't help much02:36
secretlondonI'll add a comment to the bug02:36
mcisbackukYeah I just looked at xorg.conf....pretty blank...02:37
secretlondonmcisbackuk, I've just asked for 3 bits of info on the bug02:38
mcisbackukOK, I'll try to provide them02:38
mcisbackuksecretlondon: Updated and all attached02:41
secretlondonty02:41
RAOFmcisbackuk: That Xorg.0.log looks like everything's working fine.02:43
secretlondonyeah it has RADEON in it02:44
RAOFIt's using the open source drivers, which provide 3D etc.  If you have the fglrx drivers installed as well that may cause problems, but it looks fine from here.02:44
mcisbackukRAOF: I thought so, its just really strange the CU usgae is constantly at 100% or close to, and Second Life doesn't draw properly, its using the CPU instead of the card...02:44
RAOFmcisbackuk: I'm going to guess that you've got02:44
secretlondonmcisbackuk, cpu usage at 100% could be all sorts of things02:44
RAOFthe xserver-xgl package installed, right?02:44
secretlondonand that'll be an SL option somewhere02:44
mcisbackukhang on...02:44
mcisbackukxserver-xgl not installed, and SL worked perfectly fine default settings etc etc in Ubuntu 2 1/2 hours ago....this Xubuntu is a fresh install02:46
secretlondonmcisbackuk, check your SL preferences02:46
RAOFOk, so it's probably not my fault then.  Good.02:46
mcisbackukRAOF: Don't understand, is that one of yours then? lool02:47
secretlondonyou prob do want the closed source driver though, if youare running 3d games02:47
RAOFOther things to check would include: what is it that's using up 100% cpu - the system monitor, htop, or top will be useful there.02:47
RAOFsecretlondon: Does the closed driver even support the 9200 still?02:47
RAOFsecretlondon: I know the latest fglrx dropped support for quite a lot of cards.02:47
secretlondonRAOF: no idea, I don't speak 'radeon' tbh02:48
mcisbackukRAOF: I did run top, and 99% usage was for SL, and ummm fglrx I assumed was still supporting the 9200, like I say it was fine in Ubuntu, or was that a different one I was using?02:49
RAOFmcisbackuk: Nope; fglrx only officially supports down to the 9500.02:49
secretlondonyou are running fglrx as well?02:49
RAOFAt least according to the text of the xorg-driver-fglrx package.02:49
mcisbackuksecretlondon: I'm not that well up on driver configs, how do I find out?02:49
secretlondonmcisbackuk, it wasn't in the log file i asked for02:50
secretlondonbut you saw it in top?02:50
mcisbackuksecretlondon: The 99% usage for SecondLife in top yes02:50
secretlondonmcisbackuk, I would expect SL to be a resource hog02:50
RAOFmcisbackuk: 99% usage for SL seems perfectly normal to me; that's what you expect an OpenGL game to use.02:51
secretlondonrunning windowed may be better, and lower the graphics settings02:51
RAOF(Using 'game' in its loosest possible sense :P)02:51
greg-gheh02:51
mcisbackuksecretlondon: True but the card/OpenGL had proper problems 3D drawing it....again Ubuntu (more resources) no problem....02:51
mcisbackuklol02:51
secretlondonmcisbackuk, I think SL brings in bits of gnome02:52
RAOFmcisbackuk: So your actual bug is that SL shows corrupted graphics on Xubuntu, yes?02:52
sectechlol....someone posted a bug report because there pogo games arn't working anymore.02:52
sectechhah02:52
secretlondonpogo games?02:53
mcisbackukRAOF: Basically, yes. But I do believe its a driver problem of some sort, or X......since it was fine in Ubuntu.....makes sense to me anyway lol02:53
RAOFmcisbackuk: Oh, it may well be a driver problem; rendering issues often are.02:53
sectechsecretlondon, It's an online game site... basically java driven...02:53
secretlondonsectech so an issue with our java support?02:53
mcisbackukRAOF: Oh and it runs like real crap.......I know it lags sometimes but it was unreal, 4-5 fps if I was lucky.02:53
secretlondonI had horrible problems on my geforce 4 MX, just a blank screen in SL02:54
maccam94vpnc doesn't have ssl support compiled in. i'm trying to build it from source (with ubuntu's patches), right now i've got the upstream vpnc source and the diff file for ubuntu's build. how do i patch the original source?02:54
sectechsecretlondon,  Yes it's a Java issue, I have no doubt about that at all... I just found it amusing that someone actually named pogo in a bug report02:54
secretlondonsectech we ask them to, when it's a website thing02:54
mcisbackukGod even I'm not that bad.................(he says)02:54
* secretlondon points at all the horrible flash + firefox bugs02:55
RAOFmcisbackuk: So; everything looks good from what you've posted so far.  Can you run 'glxinfo'?  Does it say 'direct rendering: yes'?02:55
mcisbackukwhat the hell..............>>>02:55
mcisbackukThe program 'glxinfo' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:02:55
mcisbackuksudo apt-get install mesa-utils02:55

secretlondonsegfault at the end02:59
RAOFmcisbackuk: Could you run "LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo" and pastebin that?02:59
mcisbackuksure02:59
RAOFHeh; that probably means you've got fglrx installed somewhere.02:59
RAOFProprietary drivers have an annoying habit of hijacking libGL which causes all other drivers to lose the ability to do 3d.02:59

mcisbackukMeans nothing to me, being honest.03:02
secretlondonmcisbackuk, don't worry. just picking out the nasties from the log03:03
RAOFmcisbackuk: Do you have a /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 file?03:03
mcisbackuk1 sec..03:03
RAOFThat _should_ be equivalent to having libgl1-mesa-glx installed.03:04
mcisbackukI have a "file" yes03:04
mcisbackuklibgl1-mesa-glx IS installed, yes03:06
RAOFHm.  Do you have a nice, high bandwith connection?  If so, I'd suggest reinstalling the mesa 3D stack with "sudo aptitude reinstall ~nmesa"03:06
mcisbackukRAOF: I do yeah03:06
RAOFThat'll reinstall every package that has 'mesa' in the name.03:06
mcisbackukRAOF: And that will sort me out?03:07
RAOFmcisbackuk: Hopefully, yes.03:07
RAOFBasically, it might, and it shouldn't take very long with a high-bandwidth connection, so it's worth trying.03:07
mcisbackukOK, ermmm......is this still a bug then, I mean will you need me again for more input on launchpad?03:08
mcisbackukObviously if I can I will help03:08
RAOFIf this works, then it's probably not a bug, at least not an obvious one.03:08
mcisbackukOK so that last bit it tilde n mesa right? ~nmesa03:09
RAOFYeah, the ~n bit is 'match by name' to aptitude.03:09
mcisbackukahhh ok :)03:09
mcisbackuk**** how much does it wanna download! lol03:10
mcisbackuk.....he says.....its done03:10
RAOFQuite a bit; that's your whole 3D stack right there :)03:10
mcisbackukrestart X?03:10
RAOFYou shouldn't have to.03:10
RAOFDo the glxinfo fandango again.03:10
mcisbackuksame...directrendering=no and seg fault at end03:11
RAOFOk.  So something weird is happening.03:11
mcisbackukYou want another verbose paste?03:12
RAOFDoes 'grep glapi_Dispatch /usr/lib/libGL.so.1' return any output?03:12
mcisbackukNope03:12
RAOFCan you post the output of "ls -lah /usr/lib/libGL*" ?03:13
RAOFThat'll probably want to be pastebinned.03:13
mcisbackuklol will do :003:13
mcisbackuk:)03:13
* RAOF is confused. _His_ libGL has that symbol.03:14
mcisbackukhttp://pastebin.com/m37c744cf03:14
mcisbackukso=symbol then (am learning)03:14
RAOFso = shared object (what windows calls a DLL).03:15
RAOFThe symbol is the name of the function in that shared object.03:15
mcisbackukshared library thing....yup i get ya03:15
mcisbackukLets be clear though.....I hate indo$e with a passion lol linux for 2 years so far ;003:16

mcisbackuk1 se03:17
mcisbackukc03:17
mcisbackukbash: libgl1-mesa-glx: command not found03:19

RAOFAhem.  Whoops :)03:20
RAOF...the output of apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-glx :)03:20
mcisbackuklol :)03:20
mcisbackukhttp://pastebin.com/m45a4dd58 there you go03:21
RAOFmcisbackuk: And "grep glapi_Dispatch /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2" _really_ gives no output?  It doesn't say "Binary file <foo> matches"?03:22
mcisbackukNope nothing at all, just the next # prompt03:23
RAOFSomething's seriously broken, then.03:24
mcisbackukWell would it be easier if I tell you exactly what I've done since install?03:24
RAOFI have the same package version installed, and my version has that symbol.03:24
RAOFmcisbackuk: Maybe.  Go for it.03:24
secretlondonI'm actually getting a similar response on my box03:26

mcisbackukNot just an ATI problem then?03:27
secretlondonRAOF: ok phew!03:27
RAOFsecretlondon: Because, as I mentioned, the proprietary drivers _replace_ libGL to make life harder for everyone.03:28
secretlondonRAOF: thanks!03:28
* secretlondon always learns loads on this channel03:28
RAOFTechnically it's not to make life harder for everyone, it's because they don't want to use mesa's infrastructure.03:28
RAOFmcisbackuk: Do you have nvidia-glx installed?  Or xorg-driver-fglrx?03:29
mcisbackukChecking...03:29
RAOF(Or nvidia-glx-legacy, -new, -envy, etc)03:30
mcisbackuknvidia...nothing (i'm not that silly lol), xorg-driver-fglrx yes03:30
RAOFmcisbackuk: Right.  Uninstall xorg-driver-fglrx, and everything will work.03:31
RAOFI thought you didn't have taht installed :(03:31
mcisbackukI didn't saay I had...... :S03:31
mcisbackukfglrx-control to be removed as well, thats ok is it?03:32
secretlondonyeah03:32
mcisbackukDone, X restart or will it be ok?03:33
RAOFYou shouldn't need to restart X.03:33
RAOFJust run glxinfo again :)03:33
mcisbackukOK03:33
mcisbackukYup, DX rendering = yes, no segfault03:33
RAOFDing!  Everything will work smoothly now.03:34
secretlondonYAY03:34
mcisbackukIsn't this still a problem for people with same card....I mean it was the default installation......03:34
secretlondonyou def didn't install fglrx?03:34
mcisbackukBut thank you....very much appreciated :)03:34
mcisbackukNope 100%03:34
mcisbackukWouldn't even know why I'd bother lol03:34
mcisbackukI _would_ format down and test that but I've got a few bits on here03:35
RAOFIf fglrx is getting installed by default, that would be a bug.  But are you _sure_ you did'nt install fglrx?  Did you install fglrx-control?03:36
mcisbackukNo, didn't install either as far as I'm aware03:36
mcisbackukIs there any log to check that?03:36
RAOFThere's /var/log/dpkg.log, but that would require fairly careful reading.03:37
RAOFIt's possible that these packages got pulled in by you accidentally while you were installing something else.03:37
mcisbackukSurely should be able to do a mask search...I'm not worried about looking through it03:38
mcisbackukYeah, I guess it is possible, I am human03:38
mcisbackukOh hang on....03:38
mcisbackukIn the standard Add/Remove I DID install that ATI Catalyst Control Centre thing.....assuming I could easily control gamma, brightness etc as in Windows, hadn't seen it before on *buntu, could _that_ have a dependency for it?03:39
RAOFmcisbackuk: Yes.03:40
mcisbackukDamn I must look so thick right now lol03:40
RAOFThat's the fglrx-control package :)03:41
mcisbackukSurely I'm not the only one whose done this though....but ermmm would it be possible to make a suggestion? Maybe have a warning type thing in the description in the debian/control file saying _do not install if you're stupid like me and have a Radeon 9500 or under_03:42
RAOFHm.  Maybe.03:43
mcisbackukDon't put my name on the stuid bit though :) lol03:43
RAOFSo, tecnically, you need to be using the fglrx driver before that package will do anything at all.  And it will install the fglrx package automatically, but not set it up, so just installing that package will a) Not work, and b) break your 3d.03:46
mcisbackukI'll be honest - people seeing "Control panel for the ATI graphics accelerators Control panel for the ATI Radeon and FireGL graphics accelerators." might probably assume the same, maybe add an extra bit saying do not install if you do not have at least radeon 9500, or possibly get the installer to do a glxinfo and look to see if direct rendering is already on and if so deny the installer the ability to install it, wit03:46
RAOFThis is sub-optimal.03:46
mcisbackukI see what you mean03:46
mcisbackukBasically it tells it to use a driver that isn't there, hence the break?03:46
RAOFWell, no.  It installs the fglrx driver, which breaks all other 3d on the system.03:47
mcisbackukAhh right03:47
RAOFIE: when fglrx is installed, only the fglrx driver can do 3d.03:47
mcisbackukKind of an override?03:47
RAOF(People not-infrequently break their 3d by installing nvidia-glx, too)03:47
RAOFmcisbackuk: Exactly.  It replaces libGL (which is what your problem was) with a version that only works with fglrx.03:48
mcisbackukAhhhhhhhhh....makes sense now03:48
mcisbackuk:)03:48
RAOFThe nvidia driver does exactly the same thing.03:48
RAOFSo _installing_ either of them will break your 3d.  (This has the corollory that you can't have 3d with an nvidia card and any other card at the same time).03:48
mcisbackukfglrx is only for the beefier cards then I take it?03:49
mcisbackukHmm...03:49
mcisbackukShall I mark bug #228491 invalid then?03:50
ubottuLaunchpad bug 228491 in ubuntu "Xubuntu does not automatically install Radeon drivers" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22849103:50

RAOFfglrx will drive > 9500, and is the only 3d driver for > X850.03:50

greg-germ, that was supposed to be to secretlondon20:13
greg-gsecretlondon: so, I was thinking that the reason it has such high number of dups is because the master didn't show up in the list of "are you sure your bug isn't any of these?"20:14
sectechI'm taking on the approach that I would rather try and re-create it myself first before asking for backtraces... If I can recreate it I would sooner just do it myself20:15
secretlondongreg_g if it's an apport crash then people generally submit them (which I think is correct) and apport dupes them when it retraces20:15
greg-gright, but I know sometimes I don't submit known dups through apport and just subscribe instead20:16
secretlondonI'd rather have more apport data than less, and foo crashes could be caused by multiple things20:16
