ScottK-laptopRiddell: I've been beating on guidance-power-manager trying to get it to start if HAL is not running with no great success.14:15
RiddellScottK-laptop: do we want it to start?14:16
Riddellcan it not just wait around seeing if hal has appeared occationally?14:16
Riddellor if that's hard, just have it quit14:16
ScottK-laptopRiddell: If hal goes away while gpm is running the CPU stuff still works.14:16
rgreeningRiddell: could it not try and launch hal?14:17
ScottK-laptopAnd gpm does just fine and notices when it appears.14:17
ScottK-laptopSo I was gonna ask what rgreening just did.  Is it reasonable for gpm to try and start hal?14:17
ScottK-laptopRiddell: ^^14:17
rgreeninglol...14:17
Riddellhmm, usually if hal isn't running there's a good reason for that14:17
ScottK-laptopOK.14:17
ScottK-laptopMy first try was to just ignore all the errors and get to a running state.14:18
ScottK-laptopThen it waits just fine.  That didn't go well.14:18
rgreeningit should at least try and detect is hal isn't runing and offer a msg to the user indicating that hal isn't running...14:18
ScottK-laptoprgreening: How is it going to do that?14:18
rgreeningin the code, during the init, could it not check for hal?14:19
ScottK-laptopYes.  It's the user notification part that's uncertain for me.14:19
rgreeningah. use kdialog14:20
rgreeningpossibly14:20
ScottK-laptopPrinting to stdout so it ends up in .xsessions is easy.14:20
ScottK-laptoprgreening: How's your python?14:20
rgreeninglol. I can figure things out easy enough.14:20
ScottK-laptopOK.  I'm busy with $WORK now.  Wanna take a crack at it?14:21
rgreeningwhats the package name quidance-power-manager?14:21
ScottK-laptopYes.14:21
rgreeningok. let me have a look.14:21
ScottK-laptopJust do 'sudo sh /etc/init.d/hal stop' and then exit and run guidance-power-manager and you'll get the error we're trying to fix.14:22
rgreeningok14:22
rgreeningcould use KPassivePopup... possibly14:25
Riddellguidance not quidance :)14:31
ScottK-laptopErr.  Right.14:31
rgreeningyeah. I know... my typo14:32
rgreeningRiddell: in powermanage.py there are vars S4_COMMAND and S3_COMMAND which point to /usr/local/bin hibernate and s2ram respectively... should these even be there or defined diff?14:37
RiddellI expect it's historical14:37
Riddellbut I guess they would have been used if hal wasn't about in some early version14:38
rgreeningyeah... there are hooks for it throughout the code. Probably should go at some point14:38

ScottKExcellent.  I don't see any patches mentioned in the spec file changelog.15:15
rdieterRiddell: kinda sorta works, I don't have bluetooth myself, but thats what I hear from others.15:15
ScottKrdieter: Are there patches in the package for it?  The vanilla upstream 0.2 seems very broken here.15:16
rdieterScottK: I'll go check...15:16
ScottKThanks.15:16
RiddellScottK: mind we don't actually use vanilla upstream 0.2, we have that kblueplugd wrapper from allee15:16
ScottKTrue.15:16
ScottKSo maybe that's where we have a problem.15:16
rdieterScottK: vanilla here, no patches15:17
RiddellScottK: does kbluetooth4 work for you?15:17
ScottKrdieter: Thanks.15:17
ScottKRiddell: No.  I'm the one that filed the initial bug.15:17
RiddellScottK: the only bug I've seen talks about kblueplugd not /usr/bin/kbluetooth415:18
rdieterRiddell: when you have a sec, I'd like to chat about your multimedia key patches (I so want that)15:18
ScottKRight, but that's what dies when you start up bluetooth.15:18
RiddellScottK: which is?  how do you start up bluetooth?15:19
Riddellrdieter: needs an xmodmap file to run on login to set XF86AudioLowerVolume et al15:20
ScottKIt's automatically started on startup, of course, and then K menu -> Internet -> Kdebluetooth415:20
Riddellthen kmix should just work15:20
ScottKBoth crash.15:20
rdieterRiddell: "just work" with or without patching?15:20
Riddellrdieter: with patching kdemultimedia15:21
rdieterRiddell: coolness, any work/contact yet to get any of that upstream?  (either way, I'm game to help anywhere I can).15:22
ScottK-laptopRiddell: If I run /usr/bin/kbluetooth4 directly it appears to start and my phone sees a device.15:23
Riddellrdieter: I suppose I could just apply the patch, but there still needs to be a way to map the keys to keycodes, also it's using a custom widget and should use knotify15:23
ScottK-laptopSo it may be our wrapper that's the problem.15:23
RiddellScottK-laptop: can you transfer files?15:23
rgreeningScottK-laptop.. I think there' plenty of python bugginess to go around, including kblueplugd15:24
rgreening:)15:24
ScottK-laptopRiddell: I'm pretty much a novice at bluetooth.  Intrepid is the first time I've had both hardware and a (briefly) working system.15:25
ScottK-laptopI can see the laptop, but not connect to it.15:25
Riddellbluetooth always seems like more of a novelty than someone I'd actually care about15:25
ScottK-laptopThat is likely consistent with how I left it configured when last I had a working gui.15:26
Riddells/someone/something/  I don't care about scandinavian kings either15:26
ScottK-laptopSo I guess my answer is I don't know.15:26
RiddellScottK-laptop: ok so porting kblueplugd doesn't be hard to do except this is dbus and dbus is stupid can can't be introspected so I don't know how to find out the new API15:26

ScottK-laptoprgreening: Any thoughts on what would be graceful?  How about hang around and try again a minute later?16:01
rgreeningnot sure at this point. the problems are 1) the exception isn't tested/caught 2) what to do with the raised exception. So, I will tackle 1) first. get it to catch the exception and then 2) may come to me... It would be nice to notify user HAL is not running, and offer the user to exit power manager or try and start HAL. comments welcome16:04

rgreeningdoesn't cause Python crashes anymore...16:44
* ScottK-laptop looks16:45
ScottK-laptopDo we need lines two and three?16:46
rgreeninglines two and 3 came from somewhere else in the code.16:47
rgreeningnot sure what generated them16:47
rgreeningI'll paste the diff to review...16:47
ScottK-laptopNeed to trap that too then.16:47
ScottK-laptopHow about, "Failed to initialize Powermanager, unable to communicate with HAL - Is HAL running run 'sudo /etc/init.d/hal status' to find out.16:47
rgreeninghttp://paste.ubuntu.com/55689/16:48
rgreeningcould do that... but it could be a dbus/hal comm error. hal could be running but b0rked. status may not offer more help16:49
rgreeningRiddell ^^ have a look at the paste for the guidance changes. lmk if ok to package16:49
ScottK-laptoprgreening: Why not wrap line 5 in a try/except and then exit with the message on the exception?16:50
rgreeningScottK-laptop... sure. never thought on that. I'm very new to python. This is the second app I've hacked on in python.. so still learning.16:52
rgreeningI'll do up another stab at it.16:52
rgreeningbut I got real close :)16:52
ScottK-laptopYeah.16:52
rgreeningat least it doesn't crash and burn horribly.16:53
ScottK-laptopYes.16:54
rgreeningI have a feeling a lot of the other bugs with python may be similar. the dbus comm channel is down (hald-runner) and the apps do not properly check for that failed connection. Just a hunch though.16:54
rgreeningso, something is possibly causing hald-runner to fail. if we nip that, then the others go away (mostly).16:55
ScottK-laptoprgreening: Exception handling is a really powerful piece of Python.  It's not just a 'crash' it's a way of talking to higher level pieces of the code.  Catch it and then DTRT.16:55
rgreeningyeah. similar to C++16:55
