acron17e.g. synclient -h gives me "Can't access shared memory area. SHMConfig disabled?"00:00
DanaGargh, damned xorg is ignoring lots of my fdi file options.00:20
DanaGEmulate3Buttons is set to false........ and yet pressing left + right gives middle.00:21
DanaGEmulateWheel is set to true, and to middle button... and yet, middle button does not make it scroll.00:21
DanaGOh, and ctrl-alt-backspace doesn't work.  Lovely.00:23
DanaGer... wait, I was hitting backSLASH.00:23
DanaGI should  never, ever be able to see this in XEV:00:25
=== DanaG1 is now known as DanaG
DanaGWhat I was going to say:00:26
DanaGXEV should never see the terminate_server key.00:26
crimsunah00:29
crimsunwell, debugging those bits can be like alice down the rabbit hole00:29
crimsunfirst, an embarrassingly high number of symptoms can be worked around simply by rebooting00:30
crimsunsecond, if you have resumed, be aware that linux+hal quirks often are ignored (!)00:30
DanaGEven if I restart the hal daemon?00:30
DanaGAnd unload and reload psmouse, too.00:31
crimsunyes, that's how i discovered that the synaptics driver does the wrong thing post-resume _or_ post-hal-restart00:31
DanaGah.00:31
DanaGAlso, my "TouchStyk" (as Synaptics calls it) shows up as PS/2 Generic Mouse, so I can't do anything with it.00:32
DanaGI wish it would fall under the Synaptics device, instead.00:32
crimsunyes, i just went through that whole debugging shebang last week00:32
DanaGah.00:32
crimsuntry rebooting and seeing if that resolves the issue _or_ suspend-to-disk then resuming (after a fresh reboot, of course)00:32
DanaGIf I reboot, will the disabling middle emulation and enabling emulate-wheel work?00:32
crimsunprobably, i don't know your specific linux (:hw) quirks00:33
crimsuni'm slowly working through a bunch of acpi (linux, mostly) and suspend-to-ram bugs00:34
DanaGOff to try rebooting.  Oh yeah, and radeon_drv has missing symbols, so I'm using radeonhd.00:34
DanaGOdd... for some reason, I'm seeing lots of traffic between PulseAudio and my router.00:43
DanaGAnother oddity: the buttons on the pointstick are attached logically to the touchpad device, not to the pointstick device.00:46
=== idleone_ is now known as IdleOne
DanaGI can't figure out why PulseAudio is flooding my network despite me not playing any audio.00:54
DanaG.. or why netstat shows the traffic as going to my router itself, and not to the other computer.00:55
DanaGOkay, that's even weirder: by loading psmouse with proto=exps, I got the two devices to combine into one... which actually reported itself as PS/2 Synaptics Touchpad.......01:18
DanaG...... and yet, HAL did not assign the 'touchpad' capability to it.01:18
DanaG... and the Xorg synaptics driver says: (EE) PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device01:20
DanaG... even though cat /proc/bus/input/devices SHOWS the touchpad name!01:20
crimsunhopefully you don't have what i have, meaning that /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX1_port_logicaldev_input_0 gets info.capabilities = {'input', 'input.mouse', 'input.touchpad', 'access_control'}01:24
crimsunit makes for very, very (un)amusing loss of functionality upon hal restart01:24
DanaGFor default settings, or for exps parameter?01:25
crimsundefault settings01:25
DanaG /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_i8042_i8042_AUX3_port_logicaldev_input gets { 'input',  'input.touchpad' }01:26
DanaGThe pointstick (which is, rather stupidly, no longer part of the logical touchpad device!) gets name PS/2 Generic Mouse, and capabilities input, input.mouse, and access_control.01:26
DanaGPassing exps makes the stick fall under the the touchpad (as I think it damn well should be!)... but then the touchpad does not get the input.touchpad capability.01:27
DanaGhttp://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/6/701:28
DanaGIs it really supposed to be _useful_ to have an unconfigurable stick device?01:29
DanaGOh yeah, and when I still had the match by input.touchpad.... it used evdev.... and the middle-emulation-disable and scroll-emulation-enable both worked.01:29
DanaGIn Windows... it shows up as one device in device manager.01:30
crimsunoh, i presumed you were using input-hotplug01:33
crimsunis that not the case?01:33
DanaGI am, actually.  Custom fdi files.01:33
DanaGDo you happen to know how the synaptics xorg module actually decides whether something is a touchpad?01:34
DanaGApparently, it's not by name.01:34
IdleOnesince we are on the touchpad subject is it possible to get touchpad to activate itself when unplugging usb mouse and then deactivate when pluggin back in?01:36
IdleOneor better yet. can I possibly use one mouse on two monitors using separate system?01:38
crimsunDanaG: it's actually in xfree86-driver-synaptics-0.15.2/src/synaptics.c::QueryHardware()01:39
crimsunthe actual structure is synhw01:40
crimsunthis is invoked from xf86OpenSerial()01:41
crimsunsee also SynapticsPreInit()01:41
crimsunthe identification of models is in src/ps2comm.c::ps2_synaptics_identify()01:43
crimsunIdleOne: to the former question, yes01:45
IdleOnecrimsun, is the a link I can follow for directions on how?01:46
crimsunIdleOne: no idea, i haven't searched the 'net01:47
IdleOneok but it is doable01:47
crimsunquite01:47
IdleOnewell then01:47
* IdleOne goes searching01:47
IdleOnehttp://maketecheasier.com/ubuntu-hardy-disable-synaptics-touchpad-when-typing/2008/06/24   not exactly what I want but could be useful01:50
IdleOnewell hot tamales....I have a button to turn on and off the touchpad01:57
IdleOnewould still be nice if this issue could be done automagically with Synaptics01:57
DanaGhmm, I'll have to muck around in the source a bit, after dinner.  (was helping set the table.)02:02
DanaGIt looks like the synaptics xorg driver assumes it will get the guest device's input directly... but then the kernel portion goes behind its back and breaks the guest device out as a secondary psmouse device.02:02
=== IdleOne is now known as Bacchus
DanaGI'm going to try i8042.nomux, randomly, next time I boot.02:04
naught101has anyone else noticed that mp3s sound horrible in amarok on jaunty?02:38
x1250does anybody has a working gnome-settings-daemon (2.25.2-0ubuntu3)?03:03

ubottuLaunchpad bug 309602 in gnome-settings-daemon "gnome-settings-daemon segmentation fault" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/30960203:08
RAOFI'd _guess_ that deleting ~/.config/monitors.xml.desired (or, better, moving it somewhere else) would fix that for you.03:13
x1250uhm, I'll test that, thanks03:16
crimsunx1250: just commented on that bug03:27
x1250RAOF, that fixed it :), I'll comment03:27
RAOFx1250: So, presumably that file was corrupt.  Someone should post their copy of it.03:29
x1250crimsun, then I have the dbg package. I have: gnome-settings-daemon-dbgsym installed03:29
x1250RAOF, post the corrupted file?03:29
x1250I still have it, I'll post it.03:30
crimsunx1250: yes, thanks03:30
x1250crimsun, RAOF, I posted the file. Anyway, after restarting X, the file was not regenerated, it doesn't exist now.03:37
DanaGargh, yeah.. radeon driver is broken.04:09
DanaGUndefined symbol.04:10
DanaGThat pass-through thing really is lame, as long as there's no driver for the stick directly.04:14
DanaG... and why the heck is pulseaudio flooding the network even though I have no audio playing in any apps whatsoever on any computer?04:18
x1250because pulseaudio sucks? :)04:32
burnerconstructive04:33
x1250joke :P04:33
RAOFDanaG: Because you've got a RTP broadcast sink set up?04:33
DanaGNope.04:33
DanaGI'm not even playing any audio.04:33
DanaGAnd in netstat... it shows as going to my router, of all things.04:34
DanaGArgh... that's so stupid: the passthrough port renders the guest mouse useless.05:03
DanaGInstead of having it show up as a guest mouse to synclient and to the Synaptics xorg driver........ it instead shows up as a frickin' generic, untweakable mouse.  Stupid.05:04

laotseuhi11:55
laotseuI've an issue with my nvidia driver under jaunty (i know it's not stable, but just want to know if somebody knows a workaroud). everything worked well until my last dist-upgrade. Now, i've to use the "nv" driver, if i try to install "nvidia-glx-177" apt wants to remove xorg & co ... does somebody know when it'll be ok ?11:55
laotseuit is not very important, but i'm just looking for information :)11:56
RAOFlaotseu: The nvidia driver needs to be updated for the new Xserver ABI (again).  It won't be installable until then.12:03
prahal_hi I compiled at-spi without xevie support as otherwise its registry fails to start under xorg 1.6 (which does not have xevie anymore). Now rhythmbox mmkeys plugin (mulimedia keys) fails to work (more important it nearly freezes rhythmbox). Killing at-spi fixes this though I wondered if somebody versed into key managment could enlighten me about what could be wrong when at-spi is on13:09
prahal_so I could attempt to fix it . Or confirm that at-spi-registryd and rhythmbox plays well together when xevie support is available ( <= intrepid)13:10
ikonianot sure what your asking13:11
hischildprahal_, intrepid is in #ubuntu13:12
prahal_if rhythmbox does not stall for minutes when pressing a multimedia key on intrepid in short :) or if anyone using a non modified at-spi have at-spi-registryd running at the same time as rhythmbox on jaunty and pressing a multimedia key does not crawl his box13:13
prahal_thanks I ll ask the pre jaunty part in #ubuntu. I am still interested in experience about the jaunty part :)13:14
