[00:12] I wonder why dictd was merged instead of synced. The changelog entry only says “Merge with Debian; remaining changes:”. [00:14] ion_: Does the debdiff say anything? Sometimes people grab from MoM and aren't careful with changelogs. [00:15] persia: I didn’t take a better look, just happened to take a look at the changelog. [00:19] is there a reason why the dhcp3-client dpkg post install scripts dont finish? see here: [00:19] # ls /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf* [00:19] /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf [00:19] /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf.dpkg-dist [00:20] for every fresh install of hardy, i do "mv /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf.dpkg-dist /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf" [00:20] im using the alternate cd [00:20] btw [00:21] [00:21] back [00:21] mathiaz: so, can you join #launchpad ? === mthaddon changed the topic of #ubuntu-devel to: Development of Ubuntu (not support, not application development on Ubuntu) | #ubuntu for support and general discussion for dapper/feisty/gutsy/hardy, #ubuntu+1 for intrepid | #ubuntu-motu for getting involved in development | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | See #ubuntu-bugs for http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs [01:10] is there a bugtracker for ubuntu-dev-tools ? launchpad says it's not the bug tracker [01:11] jelmer: https;//launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-dev-tools/+bugs [01:11] (LP is sometimes a little confused about native packages) [01:12] persia: ahh, ok.

Since it's a KDE fix, I think it's not suprising. [07:46] Launchpad bug 207473 in kde-guidance "Screen brightness double level changes" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/207473 [07:48] ScottK: oh, heh [07:48] so /all/ these people are following up to the wrong bug? :/ [07:48] "Adam" doesn't mention GNOME or not [07:49] Since it's a two part hal/guidance bug it wouldn't suprise me if there was a gnome impact. [07:49] But it's the guidance bit that we have a fix for. [07:49] right [07:50] and have the affected users verified that the fix works? [07:50] It should probably also affect some Gnome thing, but I've no idea on that. [07:50] probably gnome-power-manager as a starting point, sure [07:52] Sounds reasonable if it does brightness for Gnome. [07:53] slangasek: It's not clear to me that there is a verification from someone who reported the exact original problem. It's also pretty clear that none of them are active in the bug either. [07:53] mm, ok [07:54] I can verify no regressions and it fixed some problems I was having that I hadn't actually reduced to a bug because I didn't understand it well enough yet. [07:54] * slangasek nods [07:55] My recommendation would be put it in hardy-updates. The problem isn't totally solved until Hal is fixed in any case and I'm confident this is better. [08:02] ScottK: no verification on bugs 231163 or 82279 yet, either?

[08:09] ScottK: oh, well, I don't think we should be covered for regression-testing now that it's been in for 15 days, but whether I can close the bugs with confidence when copying it over is another question :) [08:10] but yes, let's go ahead [08:13] ivoks: hi, I had a question for you [08:13] slangasek: sure [08:14] ivoks: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionDefaultsAndBranding says that for Croatian, "Debianova, Debianove, Debianovu" are ok to replace in translations with just "Ubuntu" - is that right? [08:15] it seems suspect to me that you would replace an adjective with a noun like that :) [08:15] slangasek: eh, depends on circumstances... i'll take a look at it [08:15] basically, this is the guide that gets used to mangle the debian-installer translations when doing merges [08:16] in most cases you can just apply same rules [08:16] but with Ubuntu is very hard, cause it ends with a vowel... [08:16] so there wouldn't be an "Ubuntove" adjective form? [08:17] so, Ubuntu's would be Ubuntuov, which soulds strange; 'In Ubuntu' is U Ubuntuu - very strange :D [08:17] heh [08:17] I like it! [08:17] :) [08:17] just cheat and claim that Ubuntu is the accusative form of "Ubunta" [08:17] >:) [08:17] slangasek: Ubuntuove sounds right [08:18] ok [08:18] like Ubuntu's web pages; Ubuntuove web stranice; that's for plural [08:18] ah, so there's also precedent, excellent [08:18] but Ubuntu's page; Ubuntu stranica [08:18] yes, of course [08:18] slangasek: i'll have to check each phrase... [08:19] or someone from ubuntu-hr [08:19] ivoks: well, it should never be /incorrect/ to do s/Debianov/Ubuntuov/, should it? [08:19] it should be correct, right [08:31] seb128> I'm preparing to upload a new debdiff for the f-spot merge [08:31] LucidFox: ah good, I was starting to wonder about this one ;-) [08:32] I've dropped the debian/copyright change, FSF address probably isn't big enough of an issue to diverge from Debian [08:32] and added the new patch from hardy-updates [08:32] cool [08:32] you can do the new version update too if you want ;-) [08:32] to 0.4.4? [08:33] ivoks: fwiw, here's an example of what we have currently: [08:33] -msgstr "Provjeravam Debianovu zrcalnu arhivu" [08:33] +msgstr "Provjeravam Ubuntu zrcalnu arhivu" [08:33] so. :) [08:33] I'd wait for Debian to update first, diocles has said he's going to upload it this weekend [08:33] LucidFox: yes [08:33] alright [08:34] hey slangasek, thanks for accepting the sru uploads ;-) [08:34] seb128: yep - thanks for uploading... :) [08:34] things look good from my side for 8.04.1 [08:34] excellent!

[08:54] well, then we still have the difficulty of whether we can continue to maintain it? [08:54] right... [08:54] since it's then not a mechanical translation - one needs to understand the grammar enough to get the word order right [08:55] so if the current is acceptable, we should probably just leave it alone [08:55] sometimes i whish we all speek same language... [08:55] current is ok === Shely is now known as ShelyII [09:20] kirkland: I reviewed your program, long answer in your mbox [09:30] question about PPAs: although I deleted packages from my PPA, trying to upload revised versions for another distro-series results in LP rejecting it, stating that "the source is already accepted in ubuntu/intrepid..." [09:31] What more than delete packages can I do? [09:31] Does LP still cache some info about previously uploaded (but now deleted) packages? [09:33] MacSlow: You really don't want to do that. [09:33] We bump versions for a reason. [09:33] What are you trying to upload, though? [09:34] wgrant, my own version of upstream clutter & friends [09:34] If anybody else ever uses your packages, they'll get confused to death if a version is in fact not the same as that same version. [09:35] well then [09:35] Bumping to -0ubuntu3 won't kill anything, I'm sure. [09:35] ok... I admit I just wanted a fresh start for "cosmetic" reasons :) [09:37] wgrant: Assuming Ubuntu has e.g. -0ubuntu1, better use something that’s -0ubuntu1 < x < -0ubuntu2, for instance -0ubuntu1.1 [09:38] Ubuntu doesn't have -0ubuntu1, but you're right in that different versioning should be used. [09:39] Security versioning is not the solution, however. [09:39] People will often append a +username1 or +ppa1 [09:40] I mean, for a < b < c, where a is the current Ubuntu version, c is what the next Ubuntu version for the same upstream release will be and you pick b. [09:40] Right.

[09:57] mcaslow: Try removing ...orig.tar.gz.uploaded or whatever it was. [09:57] -sa will add the .orig.tar.gz to the .changes file [09:57] dholbach, it only uploads the orig.tar.gz with 0ubunt1 ?! [09:57] it doesn't care about the version number [09:57] Oh, and yeah, -sa. [09:57] if you (and nobody else) has ever uploaded the new .orig.tar.gz, use -sa [09:58] if it has already been uploaded, don't use -sa and save bandwidth and time [09:58] ion_, btw I never saw such a *.orig.tar.gz.uploaded before [09:58] just remove the .upload file, regenerate the source package with -S -sa and try again [09:58] dholbach, -sa ?= "source attach" [09:58] ok [09:59] no idea what it stands for [10:02] thanks mvo for sponsoring! thanks seb128 too!

I don't know what universe standards are, but is there any need to use revu when a debdiff could be attached? [10:19] Launchpad bug 239643 in courier-authlib "Please merge courier-authlib 0.60.1 (universe) from Debian unstable (0.60.1-2)" [Undecided,Confirmed] [10:19] seb128: no, it's absolutely not required to upload to REVU [10:19] and the description is not good either [10:20] right [10:25] Is the top (menu bar, tabs) of my gnome-terminal in Intrepid meant to be translucent, while other apps aren't? [10:27] is that really a question? ;-) [10:28] I don't see a reason why one application should behave differently no [10:28] seems to be a bug rather [10:29] In MacOSX, such inconsistencies seem to be the norm. :-) [10:29] I thought maybe the new theme supported transparency, and some apps would initialise a window with an alpha channel, and those that didn't were the bug... [10:29] ok, if that's the case I don't know about it [10:30] maybe MacSlow knows about that [10:30] Huh, translucent Gtk background by default? Now *that* would be a bug. [10:31] ion_, no... it's slick :) [10:31] If by slick you mean less readable. :-) [10:31] ion_: With blurring it probably won't be too bad. [10:31] ion_, it really depends on the opacity and if you happen to have compiz' blur enabled [10:31] Haha. [10:31] ion_, got a screenshot for me to take a look? [10:32] wgrant, I meant [10:32] sorry [10:32] MacSlow: Sure, in a sec. [10:33] day two of my clutter-PPA efforts and still not done *sigh* [10:35] no please don't tell me it failed because of the german-umlaut in my name [10:35] if anybody cares to take a look -> http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15472094/6c17UkRT6WzAJ8VPK8kCtoyGGfq.txt [10:35] MacSlow: What's the error? [10:35] Ah. [10:35] * wgrant tries. [10:36] My i915 really didn't like turning blur on. [10:36] MacSlow: heh; but it shouldn't matter in the Mainainer: field or anywhere, hmm [10:36] it built for hardy... then I copied it to intrepid and there it failed? [10:36] MacSlow: sounds like a cprov problem [10:36] cprov: ^ [10:36] MacSlow: It rejected it, and then failed to generate the rejected message because of your name, I suspect. [10:36] wgrant, oh... don't bother with blur if you don't have a GeForce-card [10:36] But it didn't reject it because of your name. [10:37] Although, that's a strange character... [10:37] pitti, wgrant: but I don't get why for hardy it built and only failed on intrepid [10:37] MacSlow: Did you upload the same version? [10:37] MacSlow: did you copy only the source ? [10:38] wgrant, no... I uploaded it for hardy and after that finished I used the LP/PPA-UI to copy it to another distro-seriies [10:38] cprov, yes [10:38] Aha, 0xFC is ü in latin-1? [10:38] cprov, I remember that this is saver to have it actually rebuilt [10:38] wgrant, yes... Müller is my surname [10:38] Shouldn't everything be UTF-8 these days? [10:39] MacSlow: you can't rebuild the same source within the same PPA (archive pools). [10:39] wgrant, well I didn't touch/change anything on my system [10:39] wgrant: Definitely yes. [10:39] cprov: Edge should prevent that nowadays, shouldn't it? [10:39] MacSlow: +copy-packages form should not allow it. [10:39] Except for that remaining race. [10:39] wgrant: no, edge is frozen :( [10:40] cprov, ehm... but didn't yesterday somebody tell me that this would be ok (moving from distro-series -> distro-series+1 and keep the version number)? [10:40] cprov: But is it in 1.2.6? [10:40] MacSlow: when you include binaries in the copy, it's fine [10:41] wgrant: yes, the bug is in PQM [10:41] cprov, hm. [10:41] the bug fix ... [10:43] f**k! [10:43] now I deleted the failed versions, and copied (with binaries) from hardy to intrepid... and that failed right away [10:48] pitti, to many kits eh ? (you thanked james for his help on policykit in your last sentence of teh packagekit mail :) ) [10:49] how long does it take for a deletion of a package to actually happen? [10:49] MacSlow: Now that I've got Compiz to go less slothfully - http://qeuni.net/f/1/2008/noblur.png [10:49] ogra: Can we please rename Nautilus to DirectoryKit? [10:49] yay [10:49] wgrant, looks like you're using some murrine-based GTK+-theme-engine [10:49] and kernel to hardwarekit :) [10:49] MacSlow: It's the default in Intrepid. [10:50] ogra: oh, indeed; PK != PK any more :) [10:50] wgrant, that's intrepid? [10:50] It is. [10:50] wgrant, hm... now I'm surprised [10:50] pitti, i'm always confusing all these kits .... they really should stop *now* with inventing new ones [10:51] GTK+ -> WidgetKit, GDM -> LoginKit. The possibilities are endless and horribly confusing. === thekorn_ is now known as thekorn [10:51] yeah [10:51] but fedora has fun confusing the world at least :) [10:51] GTK+ → Gimp ToolKit ;-) [10:51] ion_: True. [10:51] Or perhaps GraphicsKit ToolKit :-P [10:51] Pidgin -> ConversationKit, uh yeah :P [10:51] Hehe [10:51] MacSlow: The panel customisations are mine, but the rest of the theme is stock. [10:52] wgrant, the opacity in murrine is a hardcoded-value (at least it was when I last looked at its source) === devfil_ is now known as devfil [10:53] wgrant, working on BlingKit with MacSlow ? [10:53] wgrant, it should be a settable theme-property-value in the optimal case... so people can have it a bit translucent if they can run with compiz' blur... in that case it's really nice [10:55] slangasek: ah, apparently Debian now has a 'db-defaults' metapackage for libdb-dev [11:01] although I deleted packages from my PPA (about 15 minutes ago) they still show up in the "Delete packages from PPA"-page... why's that? [11:01] MacSlow: Indeed, it looked very good when I had blur on, but it regrettable ran at less than 0.1fps. [11:01] MacSlow: Try now. [11:02] s/regrettable/regrettably/ [11:02] wgrant, the i915 has no hw-accelerated offscreen rendering (FBOs) needed for fast blur [11:03] wgrant: Publisher only runs every 20 minutes, so trying a couple of minutes after the hour might have made a difference, but cprov would know. [11:03] MacSlow: Aha. [11:03] Um. I keep referring to myself for some reason. [11:03] wgrant, I think in the case of the i915 it uses the slowest possible option in GL... the only available on the i915 [11:03] MacSlow: Do any newer Intel chips do it well? [11:04] MacSlow: the package will continue to be listed in +delete-package until it is entirely removed from the archive. I usually takes 2 death-row cycles (30 min) [11:04] wgrant, on the i965 I saw FBOs finally being exposed by the driver when I did a fresh git-checkout of Xorg, driver & Co at UDS-Prague... even GLSL-examples ran on it... that's a sweet outlook for Intrepid :) [11:04] cprov, ah ok [11:05] Wow, a free driver with GLSL and FBO support? I gotta get one of those cards. [11:05] MacSlow: Nice, nice. [11:05] GLSL == GL shader language? [11:05] (Are there cards anyway, or are they only available as integrated chips?) [11:05] ion_, cool eh?! [11:05] (fairly random guess) [11:05] wgrant, correct [11:06] ion_: I heard they were coming up with cards eventually. [11:06] wgrant, well all chips supported by free drivers should get GLSL-support [11:06] But not yet that I know of. [11:06] Unfortunately. [11:06] wgrant, but I only have a GeForce and a i965 myself so I cannot tell anything about e.g. ATI-chips [11:07] wgrant, I would not be surprised if the nouveau (the free nvidia-driver) will offer all that too at some point [11:08] cprov, so for having a package available for and I _absolutely_have_ to bump the version?! [11:08] MacSlow: Nouveau seems like it should be rather good - I wonder how radeonhd will turn out. [11:08] MacSlow: One would normally upload for distro-series, and then copy it (with binaries) to distro-series+1. [11:08] Like we do when we create a new release. [11:08] All the binaries are copied from the previous one. [11:09] wgrant, regarding ATI/Radeon I put all my bets on Dave Airlie (!= RadeonHD) [11:09] just for the record... [11:09] * MacSlow is the bloodiest packageing noob on the planet [11:09] MacSlow: WRT the Murrine translucency... does it only work on RGBA windows? [11:10] MacSlow: what willian said, binaries normally can be safely carried from series-(n-1) to series-(n) [11:10] wgrant, well of course and it needs a working/running compositor [11:10] MacSlow: So that would explain why most of my windows are opaque. That's what I was initially wondering, thanks. [11:11] wgrant, I forgot which widgets murrine draws with some transparency by default [11:12] wgrant, it certainly does not create every widget with a RGBA-colormap by default... that would cause some breakage... especially for the tray-icons (notification area) === elkbuntu is now known as elky [11:27] seb128, i was told gdm wil drop support for ~/.dmrc, do you know anything about that ? (we just planned ~/.dmrc support in ldm but i dont want manpower being wasted if upstream switches to different ways of setting default lang and session) [11:28] ogra: the new gdm uses gconf [11:28] hmm [11:28] ughh :( [11:28] seb128: ConfigKit! [11:29] how does that work with KDM, xdm and others then for default session and language ? they require ~/.dmrc .... or does KDM switch to gconf now ? :) [11:29] ogra: that's like asking how evolution read kmail accounts settings ... [11:29] there should be a freedesktop.org standard for that imho ... [11:29] no, its different [11:30] not really [11:30] you might wat to run a desktop that requires that file [11:30] from gdm [11:30] what file? [11:30] or you might want to switch over and expect no regression :) [11:30] ~/.dmrc [11:30] you might want to use your thunderbird accounts in evolution too [11:30] it carries a users default language and session [11:31] as a quasi standard since DMs exist [11:31] don't switch software if you don't want to reconfigure? [11:31] well, why should i switch my default session language [11:31] I don't get the question [11:31] why would an user switch login managers? [11:32] ok, question made easier: why does gdm break common standards ? [11:32] i mean the way to set lang and session is long established [11:33] i dont get why they need to break it and get incompatible with all other DMs [11:33] it doesn't in fact [11:33] I was just looking at the code [11:33] .dmrc is still used [11:33] phew, ok [11:33] warren told e differently [11:33] *me [11:33] he said mccann would remove it or had already [11:33] " * daemon/gdm-session-worker.c: (_save_user_settings), [11:33] (gdm_session_worker_start_user_session): [11:33] Save out user settings to ~/.dmrc before starting the [11:33] session" [11:34] good [11:34] ogra: I don't know what they will do [11:34] I just know what the current code is doing [11:34] but I'm not sure they consider .dmrc as a standard [11:34] ok, i thought you had any insight in the "why do they want to drop traditional setups" :) [11:34] and that they consider switching dynamically login managers as something that needs to be supported [11:35] thats why i said "quasi" standard :) [11:35] honestly who is wanting to switch between login managers? [11:35] i'm sure its not written down anywhere as "the standard" [11:35] me [11:35] and all my ltsp users do that regulary [11:35] why? [11:35] why should an user care about that? [11:35] depending if you sit on the server directly or on a client you use either ldm or gdm [11:36] that's like saying that grub should use lilo.conf because some users want to switch the boot manager [11:36] and i want them both to have the same settings indeed [11:36] which is what ~/.dmrc was made for [11:36] so DMs can share session and language info [11:37] well, as said the code to support .dmrc is still there [11:37] so let's see what they do [11:37] yeah [11:37] but if mccann said he wants to remove it that's probably true [11:37] well, warren said [11:38] i tend to trust him less and less since i met the people in person he usually proxies to me :) [11:38] (i.e.l lennart or davidz) [11:39] I don't know him so I can't say [11:39] (thas why i picked your brain to gather some more info :) ) [11:39] but from the changelog they added code to write and read the .dmrc during this cycle [11:39] good [11:39] so they probably agree with you that's an useful thing [11:39] and I somewhat doubt they will drop that now [11:39] it definately is [11:39] I would not worry to much for now [11:39] thanks :) [11:42] 5~/win 4 [11:42] Gah.

I mean with 'wpa-roam' feature the wpa-roam integration in /etc/network/interfaces, which is very specific to debian/ubuntu [12:45] what are you talking about? [12:45] MacSlow: missing build-depends :)? [12:46] siretart: right thats why i ask. i see that wpa-roam for eni is debian only [12:46] siretart: now i wonder about wpasupplicant.conf? [12:47] e.g. is that a debian thing? or is that upstream? if its upstream, what happens if you define two configurations in there :) [12:48] asac, well in the original package I "lended" the control file from there's not mentioning of gtk-doc in Build-Depends [12:49] asac: what is with wpasupplicant.conf? you terribly confuse me now [12:49] asac: perhaps you want to give me a call? [12:49] siretart: yeah ... if you have time now ;) [12:50] MacSlow: add it ... and maybe try with pbuilder [12:50] MacSlow: maybe you are missing a configure switch to disable docs?

[13:41] argh [13:41] apparently 2.6.26 has an alsa driver for the PC speaker [13:41] fun [13:41] which makes pulseaudio playback sounds through it [13:42] and as a result, the session startup takes some 10 minutes, while the PC speaker gives really weird noise [13:42] (in vmware, anyway) [13:48] siretart: yes i think so [13:49] pitti i'm having that on a intrepid machine using pulse [13:49] pitti: :-D [13:50] siretart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21615/ ... you think thats too hacky? :-P [13:50] err, s/usr/var/ :) [13:54] siretart: not a serious approach. just a poc. to do it right we would have to check if NM is running or something [13:54] asac: I'm not really familiar what this mdns_minimal.so does, but if it really only duplicates the dns module using a custom resolv.conf, it might be an interesting 'hack' for the nm problem :) [13:54] asac: right. you need to consider the cornercases [13:55] siretart: yeah. we could put NM logic directly into mdns ... not sure how much cheering that would get though :) [13:55] * persia thinks little [13:55] e.g. if running -> use this ... otherwise use that [14:01] asac: well, mdns has very little to do with NM. I fear you'll get into unneeded complexity with that.

[17:19] i pretty much copypasted it from a howto, seemed to work for the other readers [17:19] mon: it's also a good idea to build as a user and use fakeroot [17:19] install fakeroot and then "DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc" [17:19] -rfakeroot? [17:20] no space? [17:21] no space [17:21] I think 'debuild -e DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl -uc -us' is a bit easier though [17:22] (requires installing devscripts) [17:23] i'm running the fakeroot version already [17:23] though i don't really care whether i build as root or user (yes that's a BAD user!) [17:24] this is my testing box and i really want it to "just work" ;) [17:24] hm the process quit because it couldnt find libcrack-dev [17:25] which was pointed out by the howto but i didnt include because i thought it was for testing passwords only [17:26] you do need to install all build-dependencies, as a general rule [17:26] or else modify the package to remove the need for them [17:26] if you absolutely believe it's not necessary and will build without, add the -d option [17:26] -d Do not check build dependencies and conflicts.

[19:37] cody-somerville: ok [19:38] bryce, I also feel that due to the nature of the issue a lot of people who experience it just restart x or reboot and continue going [19:38] Clearly how Xubuntu is setup the issue occurs much more frequently which is why we have the bug reports [19:38] but it has taken awhile for it to build up [19:38] It started as a whisper and now it looks like a regression that affects both Xubuntu and Ubuntu.

[20:33] bdmurray: I assigned it to me [20:33] okay, great! [20:34] (just commented on the buG) [20:34] bdmurray: thanks for digging that out, that sounds important [20:45] checking for x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc... (cached) gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables [20:46] anyone know why that would be happening in intrepid amd64/grub builds? [20:46] can't reproduce it locally [20:46] and it seems to be grub specific, but it builds everywhere else fine, and locally fine [20:46] and it was fine in hardy [21:14] BenC: it may be related to the new default CFLAGS settings [21:20] slangasek: anyway I can get config.log? [21:20] maybe I could hack the build to cat it before failing [21:20] so I can see it in the build.log [21:20] could do [21:32] So... what is the best course of action? I assume it would be too risky to recompile X11 with libxcb disabled or to apply the experimental upstream patches for Hardy :( [21:41] cody-somerville: well, the experimental patches don't apply. I think what we need is a git tree we can pull from, or some directions on how to get those patches built [21:50] configure:2984: gcc -m32 -static conftest.c >&5/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.3.1/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc [21:50] slangasek: looks like -m32...not sure where it came from [21:50] maybe I need to do something about getting 32-bit libs in build-deps [21:51] hrm, I thought grub was always built as 32-bit [21:51] and I also thought it already had the build-dep on the 32-bit libs [21:54] slangasek: ah, I wonder if gcc-4.2-multilib needs to be changed to gcc-multilib [21:54] in build-deps [21:55] I have that locally, so it would explain it [21:55] if there's a gcc-multilib available and we're otherwise not using a specific version, then that sounds right :) [21:56] intrepid is using gcc-4.3-multlib, and gcc-multilib is the meta package pointing to the right one [21:57] matching the gcc command [21:57] I'm pretty sure this will fix it [21:57] sounds like it [22:15] bryce, I don't think those patches would fix the issue anyhow without patching the applications themselves to use the stuff [22:17] ah ok [22:17] cody-somerville: is there anything else I could do in helping resolve this issue? [22:18] bryce, make it work? :P [22:18] lol [22:18] * bryce waves a wand [22:19] guess I can re-dig through all the logs and backtraces another time [22:19] Oh, I know what you could do [22:19] First, install Xubuntu and see if you can reproduce it easily enough [22:20] Then you could try recompiling with xcb disabled and see if it still occurs [22:21] btw, Keybuk was convinced that the select it was hanging on was in dbus-launch and not actually libxcb [22:23] However, I'm not so sure because I attached gdb to the other running processes and they all had the similiar backtraces. [22:23] xfce4-session had pretty much the same backtrace as dbus-launch [22:24] the others were in some xcb wait function [22:25] what did Keybuk say exactly? [22:27] the one system I have that I can easily reinstall at the moment is an amd64. have there been reporters seeing the problem on amd64? [22:27] bryce, yes [22:27] http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m50aa1bc4 === dpm_ is now known as dpm [22:29] ah thanks [22:29] hmm [22:29] so sort of sounds like debugging from the libxcb side of things is the wrong place to look? [22:31] hmm, scott's comments just give me more questions :-P [22:32] * cody-somerville nods. [22:32] I talked to someone else [22:33] and they said the previous write statements do not mean that it isn't in libxcb [22:34] bryce, if you were to attach gdb to X, what would you expect to see? [22:35] since it's a hang, I'd expect it to be stuck somewhere along the waitfor loop [22:37] * cody-somerville nods. [22:37] #0 __kernel_vsyscall() [22:38] #1 wait4() from [path to libc] [22:38] #2 ?? [22:38] #3 __libc_start_main from [path to libc] [22:38] #4 ?? [22:38] But before that [22:38] Er,, sorry [22:38] I tried again and the next time I found it was in ptrace [22:40] * cody-somerville ponders. [22:41] well, in case it is an xcb issue, I do know bart massey personally... I'll drop him an email. If nothing else maybe he can get some action going on our upstreamed bug. [22:42] Well, the issue seems to be deadlocks involved in waiting for responses from the X server. [22:45] and it has been known since 2004 [22:45] Who decided to enable libxcb anyhow? [22:45] now, now [22:50] email sent [22:50] I cc'd you [22:50] I don't think it's productive for you to look for assigning blame, but you can consider it my decision if you want [22:51] of course, the decision ultimately comes from upstream of us [22:52] libxcb had been disabled in debian previously due to problems it caused with java apps, so we did not activate it until after that problem was resolved. [22:53] I'm not looking to "place blame". [22:53] I wanted to discuss with the person (ie. you) if it would be possible for us to disable it again [22:55] of course anything is possible, however do you have proof that the problem goes away when it's disabled? [22:55] bryce, I would ofcourse test the solution before recommending it :) [22:56] there's also the issue if turning it off would cause other problems [22:56] * cody-somerville nods. [22:56] Indeed. Very scary prospects all around. [22:57] let's wait on bart's response. Bart was the one who encouraged us to turn it on long ago, so I'd expect him to supply some help in pointing us towards solutions. [22:58] even if we did shut it off in hardy, though, I'd want to leave it on for intrepid. [22:58] the only way these issues are going to get found and fixed is if people use it and report it [22:59] bryce, In the mean time, I'm going to see if omitting --exit-with-session fixs the hang and just take care of killing dbus manually. [22:59] ok [22:59] I'll see if I can identify what's involved in compiling libx11 without libxcb if you want to also test that [23:00] isn't that "grab an older version of libx11 before the switch"? [23:00] slangasek: maybe [23:00] bryce, whats the risk associated with the session bus not being terminated at the end of session? [23:01] cody-somerville: I'm not sure... if the user re-logged in would it result in multiple sessions running? [23:06] cody-somerville: btw have you been able to obtain a full backtrace yet? [23:06] What did you say was the command for that? [23:07] (gdb) backtrace full [23:07] also see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing [23:08] this looks like maybe the bit keybuk was referring to: [23:08] [pid 7877] read(20, 0x8056f3c, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:08] [pid 7877] ioctl(0, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfd17a18) = -1 ENOTTY (Inappropriate ioctl for device) [23:08] [pid 7877] select(21, [20], NULL, [20], NULL) = 1 (in [20]) [23:08] [pid 7877] read(20, "", 4096) = 0 [23:13] cody-somerville: mm interesting check this search out - https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=dbus-launch [23:14] "You can look at the environment of your apps with something like [23:14] "ps ewwwww" and everything in your login session should have the same [23:14] DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS. If anything has a different (or missing) address, [23:14] that is your problem." [23:14] fdo #8294 looks interesting [23:15] not directly relevant though [23:17] ditto 9884 [23:20] hmm [23:45] Weird, a buddy of mine reports those recent updates to gutsy caused his screen to revert to 800x600. [23:46] cody-somerville: the only X updates were some security fixes [23:46] and that was about a week or so ago [23:48] bryce, from the log, it seems like it was after the kernel was updated. [23:49] cody-somerville: was he using -nvidia or -fglrx by chance? [23:49] yes [23:50] which? [23:50] bryyce: Oh what fun. X is starting up in failsafe mode after rebooting on the new 2.6.24-19 kernel [23:50] * gchaix digs into the logs [23:50] Huh ... comes up in vesa mode thinking the virtual size is only 800 [23:50] gchaix was using -nvidia [23:50] He has an nVidia card to the best of my knowledge. [23:50] * cody-somerville nods. [23:50] nvidia [23:51] gchaix was on hardy though [23:51] could have been the same update though [23:51] cody-somerville: fwiw, gchaix worked around via use of envyng [23:52] however I'm not sure how safe envy was on gutsy [23:54] anyway, kees thinks it's probably unrelated. -nvidia troubles are usually caused by "badly installed meta packages or 3rd party drivers" [23:55] heh, beat me to it -- was just going to say it here too :) [23:56] kees, while we have your attention, would you mind looking at this xubuntu/xcb bug, that seems to be hanging during a socket() call? https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16420 [23:56] Freedesktop bug 16420 in Library "Freeze in _xcb_in_read_block during select()" [Critical,New] [23:56] kees: we're currently stumped on what to do next to debug it further, and have not yet gotten feedback from upstream
