[12:42] <ziroday`> Hi, shouldn't the importance of Bug #217261 be bumped up as it makes powertop completely unusable?
[16:52] <andresmujica> hi, do we have in this room some bug triagers from LatinAmerica and Spain LoCo Teams?
[17:22] <hacktick> andresmujica: I speak portuguese
[17:23] <hacktick> andresmujica: and  BUGabundo is from portugal
[17:23] <BUGabundo> ME
[17:24] <andresmujica> hacktick: ohh that would be great, and are you holding a GBJ session?
[17:24] <BUGabundo> FYI jaunty just got BROKEN
[17:24] <andresmujica> hi BUGabundo.
[17:24] <andresmujica> upps
[17:24] <BUGabundo> yeah
[17:24] <BUGabundo> not good
[17:24] <hacktick> andresmujica: in Berlin
[17:26] <andresmujica> bugabundo, the daily build? or with  the update?
[17:28] <BUGabundo> update
[17:28] <BUGabundo> apport, synaptic, apt-cache all segfaulting
[17:28] <andresmujica> auuch
[17:28] <BUGabundo> uploading now crash logs to LP
[17:28] <IntuitiveNipple> BUGabundo: can you run them via gdb and capture a trace?
[17:29] <BUGabundo> don't have dgb versions of them
[17:29] <BUGabundo> apt is a bit unstalbe
[17:29] <IntuitiveNipple> even without it could be helpful
[17:29] <BUGabundo> some times runs, others fails
[17:29] <BUGabundo> let me see if I manage to get them installed
[17:31] <BUGabundo> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/synaptic/+bug/329471
[17:32] <BUGabundo> eheh
[17:32] <BUGabundo> wasn't Friday 13 YESTERDAY?
[17:33] <andresmujica> yeap
[17:33] <andresmujica> and the 1234567890 thingie
[17:38] <andresmujica> maybe the pkgcache.bin file?
[17:40] <BUGabundo> humm
[17:40] <BUGabundo> indeed
[17:40] <BUGabundo> it could get corrupt
[17:40] <BUGabundo> humm that would be MESSY
[17:41] <BUGabundo> loose all track of my installed packages?
[17:41] <BUGabundo> damn
[17:43] <andresmujica> hmm i believe not... it can get reconstructed...
[17:46] <BUGabundo> ufa.. great
[17:51] <IntuitiveNipple> Here's the backtrace:
[17:51] <IntuitiveNipple> #0  0x00007f1a0f337066 in pkgCache::FindPkg () from /usr/lib/libapt-pkg-libc6.9-6.so.4.7

[18:04] <andresmujica> so today's jaunty updates are breaking the pkgcache.bin file?
[18:05] <IntuitiveNipple> possibly it's a local issue... file handles or what-not
[18:05] <andresmujica> yeap i`d think the same.
[18:06] <BUGabundo> still not sure
[18:06] <BUGabundo> expecting some one else to confirm or deny
[18:07] <BUGabundo> could be local system
[18:07] <BUGabundo> maybe even the "too many open files"
[18:07] <andresmujica> or maybe it was for not applying the updates on friday 13th ;)
[18:07] <BUGabundo> I did
[18:08] <andresmujica> oohhh. now we know why it did happened!!
[18:08] <BUGabundo> and also did this morning ( by the way they were run from TTY, not X)
[18:12] <IntuitiveNipple> Well, at least your crash dump revealed a problem with apport-retrace and the crash report(s)
[18:13] <andresmujica> how did you know that from the dump, can u show me?
[18:15] <BUGabundo> are you guys talking to me?
[18:15] <IntuitiveNipple> andresmujica: Sure... download the .crash attachment from the bug-report (I use wget)
[18:16] <andresmujica> done
[18:16] <IntuitiveNipple> Then create an empty directory for the report: "mkdir /tmp/crash" and unpack the report "apport-unpack _usr_sbin_synaptic.0.crash /tmp/crash/"
[18:17] <IntuitiveNipple> Then open it using gdb: "gdb synaptic /tmp/crash/CoreDump" and then view the back-trace using the "bt" command in gdb
[18:18] <IntuitiveNipple> apport-retrace -g should do the same thing but it is failing since the crash report doesn't contain the Package
[18:18] <IntuitiveNipple> I'm reporting a bug against that
[18:20] <BUGabundo> IntuitiveNipple: should I install apport-retrace?
[18:20] <BUGabundo> will it autogen the needed bits?
[18:20] <IntuitiveNipple> BUGabundo: You can, but as I say, right now it won't handle the report since the Package field is missing
[18:20] <BUGabundo> ok
[18:21] <IntuitiveNipple> Ahh, seems that it is by design! https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/145358
[18:22] <IntuitiveNipple> The solution is apparently to use the -R option so I've just done "apport-retrace -Rs _usr_sbin_synaptic.0.crash"
[21:27] <calc> wow new bug rename is cool
[21:27] <calc> less page loads is good :)
