[03:45] Advanced Anti-Tangle Technology [03:45] sorry, wrong paste [03:45] thanks [03:45] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeamBugPolicies [03:46] you might want to /join #ubuntu-kernel to see if there is anything else you can do [03:46] will do [03:46] thanks [03:46] no problem.

[08:42] *or I* [08:42] ok thanks [08:55] good morning === LimCore_ is now known as LimCore [10:44] hi all, starting today after the latest round of 8.10 updates, metacity has been segfaulting on login [10:44] 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 [10:45] 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 [10:55] blaq: let's start with that, what's the cryptic error? [10:56] also if you pastebin the output when run in a terminal that may be useful [10:56] metacity[18325]: segfault at 0 ip 080abab3 sp bfd30b80 error 4 in metacity[8048000+7a000] [10:56] heh [10:56] thats from dmesg [10:56] ok [10:56] you can install -dbgsym packages and try and get a backtrace [10:57] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash [10:57] mike@mike-laptop:~$ metacity --replace [10:57] Segmentation fault [10:57] ok cheers i'll check that link out [10:58] 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] still no dice [10:58] I wish ubunt 8.04 would have at least one media player that does not fail to play videos [11:08] so you're saying 8.04 doesn't have a media player that doesn't not play videos? [11:09] well 3 main media players in ubuntu 8.04 fail epically [11:09] blaq: do you have -proposed enabled? [11:09] of this totem's failure is rather a problem unique for me (nvidia problem) [11:09] yeah james_w [11:10] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kaffeine/+bug/319168 would be one example [11:10] 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] interestingly, VLC have similar problems [11:11] 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] which-pkg-broke metacity [11:12] and then pastebin the output [11:12] Hobbsee: I test on serval [11:12] Hobbsee: I test on several machines [11:12] apparently they all fail. [11:12] yes, since I installed ubuntu on them they do =) [11:12] easy solution to that. [11:12] Hobbsee: or - you could try to confirm my bug [11:12] what surprises me is that most other people can't reproduce your bugs. [11:13] sure thing james_w [11:13] Hobbsee: that is not true [11:13] blaq: I appreciate your help in this, if it is a regression in -proposed or -updates then we need to act quickly [11:13] Hobbsee: on the contrary, many of my bugs where confirmed and even fixed [11:14] i meant the video / audio ones in particular. [11:14] Hobbsee: yes, its strange why many people with say radeon can not reproduce my bug related to given nvidia gfx model [11:16] ok sorry I will not report rare bugs then. happy? [11:25] well, report all you like. They just probably won't get fixed, if no one else can reproduce the problem ;) [11:25] and i'd suspect your 'losing' of sent mail from kmail was just google being silly temporarily, fwiw. [11:26] and any bugs that contain 'epic fail' will probably be ignored, too [11:27] james_w: heh it seems which-pkg-broke has frozen on me [11:27] but here's the backtrace: http://pastebin.com/m711f0ba5 [11:28] oh wait [11:28] which-pkg-broke just finished [11:28] that took a while haha [11:28] pastebinning now [11:29] ^ http://pastebin.com/d7369120b [11:29] blaq: you rock, thanks [11:31] so cups is in -updates and -security, but glibc is just in -proposed as far as I can see [11:31] blaq: would you please downgrade libc6? [11:32] do you know how to do that [11:32] ? [11:32] no [11:32] ok [11:32] how? [11:32] please run "sudo aptitude install libc6=2.8~20080505-0ubuntu7" [11:35] it wants me to downgrade libc6-dev and libc6-i686 [11:35] y/n [11:35] y please [11:37] heh downloading now, i've been capped :/ [11:37] hum.. this is weird, brasero burns a DVD successfully, but it pops an error every time it finishes [11:37] where did you look to see that cus was in -security and -updates but glibc was just in -proposed [11:38] *cups [11:38] Hobbsee how imap server glitch could cause kmail to loose email in LOCAL "sent" folder [11:38] blaq: launchpad [11:38] blaq: there are a couple of other ways as well [11:39] heh i think i need to familiarize myself with that launchpad [11:39] 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 :) [11:40] Hobbsee: but what are you tyring to say, many my bugs are 100% valid as it turns out, perhaps not all yes. [11:41] LimCore: if gmail reports back that there's no sent mail, then the local folder will probably update to show that... [11:42] Hobbsee: I didnt debug that too much. What are you implying then [11:42] LimCore: that gmail may well have screwed up, and that it was transient. [11:43] perhaps, and? [11:43] in which case it's clearly not a kmail bug? [11:43] possibly [11:43] blaq: also, the output of "gconftool -g /apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier" would be appreciated [11:44] 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] No value set for `/apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier' [11:44] ok i've downgraded glibc [11:44] blaq: that's the bug then it seems [11:44] should i try running again? [11:45] yes please [11:45] have you rebooted since the upgrades? [11:45] since the upgrades yes [11:45] since the downgrade no [11:45] still segfaulting [11:46] ok, as libc6 is already loaded I'm not sure it will be using the new one [11:46] one moment please [11:46] reboot? [11:46] sure [11:46] just asking someone smarter than me [11:47] standing on shoulders of giants etc. [11:47] :) [11:47] yes, you need to reboot to use the new libc6 [11:47] i think for me it's giants all the way down [11:48] sure thing [11:48] heh :-) [11:48] be back in a sec [11:48] just do exactly the same thing as before please [11:48] as in the backtrace? [11:48] however you tried to login etc. [11:48] or do you want me to try and just login via gnome [11:48] sure thing [11:49] be back in a sec [11:49] once you are able to come back on IRC then please do and we can see what happened [11:53] no dice [11:53] :/ [11:53] do you want me to try downgrading cups? [12:02] blaq: yes please [12:03] james_w, do you think a valgrind trace would be worthwhile? [12:03] anyone with 8.04 ubuntu can test something for me for 3 minutes? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kaffeine/+bug/319168 [12:03] 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] blaq: the backtrace looks sufficient to me [12:04] blaq: it looks as though it is crashing as you had no value set for that gconf key [12:05] I don't know how though? I haven't touched gconf in at least a year [12:05] maybe the years of continually dist-upgrading has taken it's toll and i need a fresh install :D [12:07] hmm, doesn't explain why the fresh new user had the same segfault [12:07] blaq: could you pastebin ~/.gconf/apps/metacity/general/%gconf.xml [12:08] and /usr/share/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas please? [12:08] sure thing [12:08] one sec [12:09] http://pastebin.com/d2d354f5e [12:09] thats the first [12:09] the second is huge though [12:11] yeah [12:11] "grep -A10 -B10 mouse_button_modifier /usr/share/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas" would be better [12:13] http://pastebin.com/d475dcf0c [12:19] should i downgrade cups to 1.3.9-2ubuntu6? [12:19] blaq: thanks, I'm not sure where it is getting unset then [12:19] blaq: give it a go [12:19] is that the right version? heh i had a look on launchpad [12:19] it is [12:20] sweet! :) [12:20] brb [12:20] the only issue is that it may not be available on your mirror anymore [12:20] give it a go though, if it reports that it can't find the version we can try another way [12:20] E: Version '1.3.9-2ubuntu6' for 'cups' was not found [12:20] i am trying 'cups' yes? [12:21] nevermind [12:21] libcups2 [12:21] ah, no, libcups2 [12:22] yeah [12:22] yeah still cant find [12:22] same error as above [12:22] ok, check /var/cache/apt/archives/ for that version of libcups2 [12:23] yep got it [12:23] dpkg -i? [12:23] yes please [12:23] done [12:23] great [12:24] please reboot and try the same things again the please [12:24] ok one sec [12:37] :( [12:38] didn't work [12:38] but having a look in gconf-editor [12:38] most of the values aren't set [12:39] when i click on one of the values in apps -> metacity -> general it has a little triangle exclamation 'This key has no schema' [12:41] tried throwing '' into mouse_button_modifier and tried starting metacity [12:41] (metacity:6536): Pango-CRITICAL **: pango_font_description_from_string: assertion `str != NULL' failed [12:41] Window manager warning: Could not parse font description "(null)" from GConf key /apps/metacity/general/titlebar_font [12:41] (metacity:6536): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_strsplit: assertion `string != NULL' failed [12:41] Segmentation fault [12:41] sorry for the paste, it looked small enough [12:41] :) [12:42] seems you were right, my gnome configuration has borked itself somehow [12:43] which seems to be causing the problems [12:43] yeah [12:43] I wonder what's going on [12:43] pedro_: around? Could use your ace debugging skills. [12:44] james_w: yup! [12:45] hey pedro_ [12:45] blaq is having some issues with gconf on Intrepid [12:45] it's reporting that there is no schema for many values, do you know why that might be? [12:46] ough, blaq is that only with your user configuration or with all the ones created at your machine? [12:46] all created it would seem [12:46] e.g. `/apps/metacity/general/mouse_button_modifier' [12:46] which isn't set in the user config [12:46] 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 [12:47] and is present in /usr/share/gconf/schemas/metacity.schemas [12:47] with the correct default [12:47] but that default isn't used [12:47] I have a suspicion that update-gconf or whatever it is called failed for you [12:47] weird [12:48] blaq: is /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml present for you? [12:48] what does ls -l report? [12:51] blaq: did you already tried to run "sudo update-gconf-defaults" ? does it works fine or it shows you some errors? [12:51] hello MrKanister [12:51] hi pedro_ [12:51] MrKanister: how are you today? [12:52] pedro_: I am fine. Thanks. And you? [12:52] Hi all. Can anyone tell me where I can find the notes for previous meetings and classes? I had it but lost it! [12:52] sorry phone call [12:52] MrKanister: I'm good too, thanks. [12:52] yeah /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml exists for me [12:52] CrownAmbassador: to which meetings are you referring to ? [12:53] pedro_: I couldn't resist and already started on the bugs [12:53] pedro_, no i haven't [12:53] i'll try that now [12:53] no errors [12:54] CrownAmbassador: Hi. Do you mean the previous UbuntuDeveloperWeeks ? [12:54] CrownAmbassador: Those are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Previous [12:56] Found what I was looking for thanks. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/ [12:56] blaq: does gconf-editor work better now? [12:57] james_w, no, everything is still no value [12:59] blaq: which locale are you running in? [13:00] i have no idea :/ [13:01] en_AU? [13:01] mike@mike-laptop:~$ locale [13:01] LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 [13:01] yep [13:03] ok, can you run "grep -B10 -A10 mouse_button_modifier /var/lib/gconf/defaults/" please? [13:04] er "grep -l mouse_button_modifier /var/lib/gconf/defaults/*" [13:04] /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml [13:05] just that one? [13:05] "grep -B10 -A10 mouse_button_modifier /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree.xml" please [13:10] http://pastebin.com/d51c3ea77 [13:11] sorry for the delay again james_w [13:11] :) [13:11] urgh, there was only one file with that string? [13:11] and that's all there was in that file [13:11] ? [13:11] that's the problem then [13:12] I wonder how that happened [13:14] i wonder if a dpkg-reconfigure would help things? [13:17] blaq: try and "sudo gconf-schemas --register-all" [13:18] took a while but i got one warning [13:18] 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) [13:19] all my values are back in gconf though! [13:19] hold on, testing metacity [13:20] gentlemen... [13:20] <-- :D [13:21] heh :-) [13:21] 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] I wonder what caused it to get corrupted [13:21] I can't see a link to the updates [13:21] yeah i don't know [13:22] except that maybe something ran gconf-schemas and caused it to be corrupted in the update [13:22] funny cups was involved too, because that was giving me issues yesterday [13:22] :-) [13:22] well thanks again james_w, i think i'll hang around now in case there's anything i can help with haha [13:23] cool :-) === LucidFox_ is now known as LucidFox [15:43] Ubuntu Developer Week - Day 2 just about to start in 17m in #ubuntu-classroom :) [15:44] Yay!
