| === LimCore_ is now known as LimCore | ||
| blaq | hi all, starting today after the latest round of 8.10 updates, metacity has been segfaulting on login | 10:44 |
| blaq | I'd like to try and see whats going on and/or report a bug but I don't know where metacity keeps its log files | 10:44 |
| blaq | does anyone know where i can find out whats going on inside metacity? when i run it from a shell (replacing my fluxbox session) it gives me no useful info. The best I have is a cryptic error in dmesg | 10:45 |
| james_w | blaq: let's start with that, what's the cryptic error? | 10:55 |
| james_w | also if you pastebin the output when run in a terminal that may be useful | 10:56 |
| blaq | metacity[18325]: segfault at 0 ip 080abab3 sp bfd30b80 error 4 in metacity[8048000+7a000] | 10:56 |
| blaq | heh | 10:56 |
| blaq | thats from dmesg | 10:56 |
| james_w | ok | 10:56 |
| james_w | you can install -dbgsym packages and try and get a backtrace | 10:56 |
| james_w | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash | 10:57 |
| blaq | mike@mike-laptop:~$ metacity --replace | 10:57 |
| blaq | Segmentation fault | 10:57 |
| blaq | ok cheers i'll check that link out | 10:57 |
| blaq | i've tried ruling out a user config problem by creating a new user and trying to login with the fresh metacity config | 10:58 |
| blaq | still no dice | 10:58 |
| LimCore | I wish ubunt 8.04 would have at least one media player that does not fail to play videos | 10:58 |
| blaq | so you're saying 8.04 doesn't have a media player that doesn't not play videos? | 11:08 |
| LimCore | well 3 main media players in ubuntu 8.04 fail epically | 11:09 |
| james_w | blaq: do you have -proposed enabled? | 11:09 |
| LimCore | of this totem's failure is rather a problem unique for me (nvidia problem) | 11:09 |
| blaq | yeah james_w | 11:09 |
| LimCore | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kaffeine/+bug/319168 would be one example | 11:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 319168 in kaffeine "[ubuntu 8.04] On finishing one trac/video the player jumps randomly all over to different positions (using 100% cpu) instead playing" [Undecided,New] | 11:10 |
| LimCore | interestingly, VLC have similar problems | 11:10 |
| james_w | blaq: as well as trying to get a backtrace could you please install the "debian-goodies" package and run | 11:11 |
| * Hobbsee mutters something about LimCore's machine being epic fail, and ponders putting it on a regular repeater. | 11:11 | |
| james_w | which-pkg-broke metacity | 11:11 |
| james_w | and then pastebin the output | 11:12 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: I test on serval | 11:12 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: I test on several machines | 11:12 |
| Hobbsee | apparently they all fail. | 11:12 |
| LimCore | yes, since I installed ubuntu on them they do =) | 11:12 |
| Hobbsee | easy solution to that. | 11:12 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: or - you could try to confirm my bug | 11:12 |
| Hobbsee | what surprises me is that most other people can't reproduce your bugs. | 11:12 |
| blaq | sure thing james_w | 11:13 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: that is not true | 11:13 |
| james_w | blaq: I appreciate your help in this, if it is a regression in -proposed or -updates then we need to act quickly | 11:13 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: on the contrary, many of my bugs where confirmed and even fixed | 11:13 |
| Hobbsee | i meant the video / audio ones in particular. | 11:14 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: yes, its strange why many people with say radeon can not reproduce my bug related to given nvidia gfx model | 11:14 |
| LimCore | ok sorry I will not report rare bugs then. happy? | 11:16 |
| Hobbsee | well, report all you like. They just probably won't get fixed, if no one else can reproduce the problem ;) | 11:25 |
| Hobbsee | and i'd suspect your 'losing' of sent mail from kmail was just google being silly temporarily, fwiw. | 11:25 |
| Hobbsee | and any bugs that contain 'epic fail' will probably be ignored, too | 11:26 |
| blaq | james_w: heh it seems which-pkg-broke has frozen on me | 11:27 |
| blaq | but here's the backtrace: http://pastebin.com/m711f0ba5 | 11:27 |
| blaq | oh wait | 11:28 |
| blaq | which-pkg-broke just finished | 11:28 |
| blaq | that took a while haha | 11:28 |
| blaq | pastebinning now | 11:28 |
| blaq | ^ http://pastebin.com/d7369120b | 11:29 |
| james_w | blaq: you rock, thanks | 11:29 |
| james_w | so cups is in -updates and -security, but glibc is just in -proposed as far as I can see | 11:31 |
| james_w | blaq: would you please downgrade libc6? | 11:31 |
| james_w | do you know how to do that | 11:32 |
| james_w | ? | 11:32 |
| blaq | no | 11:32 |
| james_w | ok | 11:32 |
| blaq | how? | 11:32 |
| james_w | please run "sudo aptitude install libc6=2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7" | 11:32 |
| blaq | it wants me to downgrade libc6-dev and libc6-i686 | 11:35 |
| blaq | y/n | 11:35 |
| james_w | y please | 11:35 |
| blaq | heh downloading now, i've been capped :/ | 11:37 |
| savvas | hum.. this is weird, brasero burns a DVD successfully, but it pops an error every time it finishes | 11:37 |
| blaq | where did you look to see that cus was in -security and -updates but glibc was just in -proposed | 11:37 |
| blaq | *cups | 11:38 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee how imap server glitch could cause kmail to loose email in LOCAL "sent" folder | 11:38 |
| james_w | blaq: launchpad | 11:38 |
| james_w | blaq: there are a couple of other ways as well | 11:38 |
| blaq | heh i think i need to familiarize myself with that launchpad | 11:39 |
| blaq | i've always been a bit of a leech on the linux community, i think it's about time i started helping out where i can :) | 11:39 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: but what are you tyring to say, many my bugs are 100% valid as it turns out, perhaps not all yes. | 11:40 |
| Hobbsee | LimCore: if gmail reports back that there's no sent mail, then the local folder will probably update to show that... | 11:41 |
| LimCore | Hobbsee: I didnt debug that too much. What are you implying then | 11:42 |
| Hobbsee | LimCore: that gmail may well have screwed up, and that it was transient. | 11:42 |
| LimCore | perhaps, and? | 11:43 |
| Hobbsee | in which case it's clearly not a kmail bug? | 11:43 |
| LimCore | possibly | 11:43 |
| james_w | blaq: also, the output of "gconftool -g /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier" would be appreciated | 11:43 |
| LimCore | but right now I try to watch in a nice GUI player some short video clips. and this doesnt work. I find this really compromitating | 11:44 |
| blaq | No value set for `/apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier' | 11:44 |
| blaq | ok i've downgraded glibc | 11:44 |
| james_w | blaq: that's the bug then it seems | 11:44 |
| blaq | should i try running again? | 11:44 |
| james_w | yes please | 11:45 |
| james_w | have you rebooted since the upgrades? | 11:45 |
| blaq | since the upgrades yes | 11:45 |
| blaq | since the downgrade no | 11:45 |
| blaq | still segfaulting | 11:45 |
| james_w | ok, as libc6 is already loaded I'm not sure it will be using the new one | 11:46 |
| james_w | one moment please | 11:46 |
| blaq | reboot? | 11:46 |
| blaq | sure | 11:46 |
| james_w | just asking someone smarter than me | 11:46 |
| blaq | standing on shoulders of giants etc. | 11:47 |
| blaq | :) | 11:47 |
| james_w | yes, you need to reboot to use the new libc6 | 11:47 |
| blaq | i think for me it's giants all the way down | 11:47 |
| blaq | sure thing | 11:48 |
| james_w | heh :-) | 11:48 |
| blaq | be back in a sec | 11:48 |
| james_w | just do exactly the same thing as before please | 11:48 |
| blaq | as in the backtrace? | 11:48 |
| james_w | however you tried to login etc. | 11:48 |
| blaq | or do you want me to try and just login via gnome | 11:48 |
| blaq | sure thing | 11:48 |
| blaq | be back in a sec | 11:49 |
| james_w | once you are able to come back on IRC then please do and we can see what happened | 11:49 |
| blaq | no dice | 11:53 |
| blaq | :/ | 11:53 |
| blaq | do you want me to try downgrading cups? | 11:53 |
| james_w | blaq: yes please | 12:02 |
| blaq | james_w, do you think a valgrind trace would be worthwhile? | 12:03 |
| LimCore | anyone with 8.04 ubuntu can test something for me for 3 minutes? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kaffeine/+bug/319168 | 12:03 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 319168 in kaffeine "[ubuntu 8.04] On finishing one trac/video the player jumps randomly all over to different positions (using 100% cpu) instead playing" [Undecided,New] | 12:03 |
| james_w | blaq: the backtrace looks sufficient to me | 12:03 |
| james_w | blaq: it looks as though it is crashing as you had no value set for that gconf key | 12:04 |
| blaq | I don't know how though? I haven't touched gconf in at least a year | 12:05 |
| blaq | maybe the years of continually dist-upgrading has taken it's toll and i need a fresh install :D | 12:05 |
| blaq | hmm, doesn't explain why the fresh new user had the same segfault | 12:07 |
| james_w | blaq: could you pastebin ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general/%gconf.xml | 12:07 |
| james_w | and /usr/share/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas please? | 12:08 |
| blaq | sure thing | 12:08 |
| blaq | one sec | 12:08 |
| blaq | http://pastebin.com/d2d354f5e | 12:09 |
| blaq | thats the first | 12:09 |
| blaq | the second is huge though | 12:09 |
| james_w | yeah | 12:11 |
| james_w | "grep -A10 -B10 mouse_button_modifier /usr/share/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas" would be better | 12:11 |
| blaq | http://pastebin.com/d475dcf0c | 12:13 |
| blaq | should i downgrade cups to 1.3.9-2ubuntu6? | 12:19 |
| james_w | blaq: thanks, I'm not sure where it is getting unset then | 12:19 |
| james_w | blaq: give it a go | 12:19 |
| blaq | is that the right version? heh i had a look on launchpad | 12:19 |
| james_w | it is | 12:19 |
| blaq | sweet! :) | 12:20 |
| blaq | brb | 12:20 |
| james_w | the only issue is that it may not be available on your mirror anymore | 12:20 |
| james_w | give it a go though, if it reports that it can't find the version we can try another way | 12:20 |
| blaq | E: Version '1.3.9-2ubuntu6' for 'cups' was not found | 12:20 |
| blaq | i am trying 'cups' yes? | 12:20 |
| blaq | nevermind | 12:21 |
| blaq | libcups2 | 12:21 |
| james_w | ah, no, libcups2 | 12:21 |
| james_w | yeah | 12:22 |
| blaq | yeah still cant find | 12:22 |
| blaq | same error as above | 12:22 |
| james_w | ok, check /var/cache/apt/archives/ for that version of libcups2 | 12:22 |
| blaq | yep got it | 12:23 |
| blaq | dpkg -i? | 12:23 |
| james_w | yes please | 12:23 |
| blaq | done | 12:23 |
| james_w | great | 12:23 |
| james_w | please reboot and try the same things again the please | 12:24 |
| blaq | ok one sec | 12:24 |
| blaq | :( | 12:37 |
| blaq | didn't work | 12:38 |
| blaq | but having a look in gconf-editor | 12:38 |
| blaq | most of the values aren't set | 12:38 |
| blaq | when i click on one of the values in apps -> metacity -> general it has a little triangle exclamation 'This key has no schema' | 12:39 |
| blaq | tried throwing '<alt>' into mouse_button_modifier and tried starting metacity | 12:41 |

| blaq | Segmentation fault | 12:41 |
| blaq | sorry for the paste, it looked small enough | 12:41 |
| blaq | :) | 12:41 |
| blaq | seems you were right, my gnome configuration has borked itself somehow | 12:42 |
| blaq | which seems to be causing the problems | 12:43 |
| james_w | yeah | 12:43 |
| james_w | I wonder what's going on | 12:43 |
| james_w | pedro_: around? Could use your ace debugging skills. | 12:43 |
| pedro_ | james_w: yup! | 12:44 |
| james_w | hey pedro_ | 12:45 |
| james_w | blaq is having some issues with gconf on Intrepid | 12:45 |
| james_w | it's reporting that there is no schema for many values, do you know why that might be? | 12:45 |
| pedro_ | ough, blaq is that only with your user configuration or with all the ones created at your machine? | 12:46 |
| blaq | all created it would seem | 12:46 |
| james_w | e.g. `/apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier' | 12:46 |
| james_w | which isn't set in the user config | 12:46 |
| blaq | i created a new user and while i haven't checked gconf specifically for that user, metacity is still segfaulting in exactly the same way | 12:46 |
| james_w | and is present in /usr/share/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas | 12:47 |
| james_w | with the correct default | 12:47 |
| james_w | but that default isn't used | 12:47 |
| james_w | I have a suspicion that update-gconf or whatever it is called failed for you | 12:47 |
| pedro_ | weird | 12:47 |
| james_w | blaq: is /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml present for you? | 12:48 |
| james_w | what does ls -l report? | 12:48 |
| pedro_ | blaq: did you already tried to run "sudo update-gconf-defaults" ? does it works fine or it shows you some errors? | 12:51 |
| pedro_ | hello MrKanister | 12:51 |
| MrKanister | hi pedro_ | 12:51 |

| MrKanister | pedro_: I couldn't resist and already started on the bugs | 12:53 |
| blaq | pedro_, no i haven't | 12:53 |
| blaq | i'll try that now | 12:53 |
| blaq | no errors | 12:53 |

| james_w | blaq: does gconf-editor work better now? | 12:56 |
| blaq | james_w, no, everything is still no value | 12:57 |
| james_w | blaq: which locale are you running in? | 12:59 |

| james_w | urgh, there was only one file with that string? | 13:11 |
| james_w | and that's all there was in that file | 13:11 |
| james_w | ? | 13:11 |
| james_w | that's the problem then | 13:11 |
| james_w | I wonder how that happened | 13:12 |
| blaq | i wonder if a dpkg-reconfigure would help things? | 13:14 |
| james_w | blaq: try and "sudo gconf-schemas --register-all" | 13:17 |
| blaq | took a while but i got one warning | 13:18 |
| blaq | WARNING: Failed to parse default value `??????????? ?????? ;gtk-theme-selector.desktop,???????????? ??????????? ???;default-applications.desktop,??????????? ????;gnome-cups-manager.desktop]' for schema (/schemas/apps/control-center/cc_actions_list) | 13:18 |
| blaq | all my values are back in gconf though! | 13:19 |
| blaq | hold on, testing metacity | 13:19 |
| blaq | gentlemen... | 13:20 |
| blaq | <-- :D | 13:20 |
| james_w | heh :-) | 13:21 |
| blaq | i don't know how it happened, or how on earth you know so much james_w, but thanks for all your help | 13:21 |
| james_w | I wonder what caused it to get corrupted | 13:21 |
| james_w | I can't see a link to the updates | 13:21 |
| blaq | yeah i don't know | 13:21 |
| james_w | except that maybe something ran gconf-schemas and caused it to be corrupted in the update | 13:22 |
| blaq | funny cups was involved too, because that was giving me issues yesterday | 13:22 |
| james_w | :-) | 13:22 |
| blaq | well thanks again james_w, i think i'll hang around now in case there's anything i can help with haha | 13:22 |
