MacSlowasac, that's correct -> "won't fix"10:17
asacgood10:17
MacSlowasac, we still need to link to the spec for the jaunty notifcations so people can easily read up our rationale behind this10:17
asacMacSlow: hmm. couldnt we do that alrady?10:18
asaci mean the blueprint main page should be public ... and we could link to it from bugs10:18
seb128asac: what change are you speaking about?10:19
MacSlowasac, I don't know the URL :)10:19
seb128asac: anyway https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDesignGuidelines10:19
asacah cool10:19
MacSlowseb128, ah there mpt put it10:19
asacseb128: is that the main spec page?10:19
seb128asac: that's the whole design team spec, it's public since this night10:19
asacgood10:20
seb128asac: hum no, not the whole spec for app change but the guidelines10:20
asacdoes that mention why we show only one notification at the same time?10:20
seb128asac: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD10:20

mvoasac: i try to reproduce the nm crash during upgrades now, is there anything you know about it? i.e. if there is a way to trigger it10:25
mvo(e.g. needs to be on a wired network, wireless etc)10:25
asacok i twittered the notification wiki stuff ;)10:26
asacmvo: no ... i just know "it happened for me" and it happened for others10:26
asacmvo: i think its good thing to be connected to wired and wifi if possible10:26
asacbut probably just one connect way is enough10:26
mvoasac: I see what I can do10:27
asacmvo: just keep it enabled in your upgrade tests10:27
asacand hopefully it will show up10:27
mvoasac: yeah10:27
mvoasac: apport is now enabled too on upgrades10:27
mvoso we should be good10:27
asacmvo: maybe the upgrade needs to be of long runinng nature10:27
asacmine took like 5 hours ;) because i forgot to remove the whole kde and xfce stack10:28
seb128pitti: can you bump the gtk+2.0 build priority at least on i386 and amd64?10:28
asacmvo: great. also for intrepid installs?10:28
seb128pitti: yesterday's upgrade makes gdm crash for some users = no login10:28

asacmvo: did you manage to get a systme-connection setup?10:28
pittiseb128: done10:28
seb128pitti: I did upload a quick workaround for now but having it building would be nice10:29
seb128pitti: danke10:29
mvoasac: no, not yet10:29
mvoasac: currently its plain dhcp10:29
asacmvo: ok. but you use NM?10:30
asacor not?10:30
asaci just want to ensure that NM is always used in your upgrade tests (except for server of course)10:30
asacthought you need a system connection for that10:30
mvoasac: its installed and running, do I need to do more?10:30
mvook10:30
seb128mvo: do you have any clue what is lacking on ati RV610 card or driver to get compiz working?10:30
asacmvo: i am not sure. if NM manages your network thats ok10:31
mvohm, if I need a system connection I will have to add a option I guess10:31
asacif you use ifupdown in /etc/network/interfaces its probably not10:31
mvoasac: thanks, I look into it10:31
mvoseb128: what does compiz print when you try to start it?10:31
mvoseb128: I suspect the 3d support for the r6xx is just not quite there yet10:31
seb128Software rasterizer detected, abortingaborting and using fallback10:32
mvoseb128: you can force the start, but you will most likely get white windows everywhere10:32
seb128how?10:32
mvoseb128: try "SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz"10:32
asacoh ... dont do that ;)10:33
asacthe software rasterihzing feature at least killed me ;)10:33

asacamaraanth said that with software rasterizing you would probably get 2 frames ;)10:34

mvo_asac: I can give you the full syslog output, but it seems its caused by hal disappearing12:41
asacmvo_: hal disappearing is a problem12:42
asacthat shouldnt happen actually12:42
mvo_deactivating device (reason: 36) (I'm glad its not 42!)12:42
mvo_and there is also error 3412:42
asac42? is that because you are 42 years old?12:42
mvo_I feel like 8412:42
mvo_(but I'm just 21)12:42
mvo_or maybe something in between12:42
mvo_I can put the syslog up once I have network back in this machine12:43
asacmvo_:     /* The device was removed */12:43
asac        NM_DEVICE_STATE_REASON_REMOVED,12:43
mvo_asac: hal is restarted early in the upgrade12:43
asacmvo_: why?12:44
asaccant that wait till reboot?12:44
mvo_asac: because that is what the hal postinst does12:44
asachmm12:44
mvo_asac: pitti probably knows if it can be postpone12:44
mvo_d12:44
seb128seems to be a dbus like discussion12:44
mvo_it has also not given the device back12:45
mvo_I mean, I see that the device goes away on stop, but why did it not re-add it on start again?12:45
asacmvo_: i think i restarted hal a few times12:46
asacmvo_: maybe udev?12:46
mvo_asac: sec, I check12:47
asacmvo_: so at least my 3g doesnt go down on hal restart:12:47

seb128pitti: ah right12:54
mvo_seb128: should be ok, I need to finish a langauge-selector review12:54
mvo_but other than that12:54
seb128cool12:55
seb128there is no hurry but I've been trying to keep the desktop sponsoring queue under control in detriment of sleep this week but I need a good night today so any help on sponsoring tomorrow would be welcome12:56
asacseb128: sure.12:57
mvo_tseliot: could you please have a look at http://paste.ubuntu.com/120111/ ?12:57
asaci guess we are still nice about FFe because of sponsoring backlog?12:57

mvo_(regular ubuntu-desktop install)12:57
seb128asac: yeah, exception should be easy to get now, I'm happy to grant any reasonable universe desktopish one12:58
seb128GNOME has a standing freeze exception12:58
asacmvo_: Feb 19 13:43:52 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info>  HAL disappeared12:59
asacthat one doesnt have a reappeared?12:59
mvo_asac: no idea, I can run it again and see if the same happens, it was not finished when I uploaded the syslog13:00
asacmvo_: ok so hal disappeared and then you ran dhclient manually?13:01
mvo_asac: yes, to get network to scp the file13:03
asacmvo_: can you please run lshal before you start upgrading and also after hal was restarted ?13:04
asacand keep that output?13:04
asacmaybe the pci id changes or something and NM thinks its a different device ...  but then it should just reconnect - did NM do that?13:05
asacmvo_: ?13:05
mvo_asac: no, it did not reconnect for me13:05
mvo_asac: I wait for the hal restart and then do another lshal13:05
mvo_(that will take a bit)13:06
mvo_its still downloading13:06
asacmvo_: at best before and after your network is down ;)13:06
mvo_now its running13:06

mvoasac: http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo//lshal-before and http://people.ubuntu.com/~mvo//lshal-after - but hte later looks re13:21
mvo really strange, just two devices left in it13:21
asacmvo: search for net.8020313:22
asacso NM wants devices with capability net.8020313:22
asacfor wired13:22
asacyour first one has one such device ... the next one has none13:22
asac -> hal bug for sure13:23
tseliotmvo: if I import NvidiaDetector from the interpreter I can't trigger the problem13:23
asacnot saying that NM has no bug ;)13:23
asacwell hal or below13:23
mvotseliot: it might be a problem with python modules not available during the upgrade13:23
asacmvo: are you sure hal is running "after"13:24
asaclet me try what happens if i tear it down13:24
asacmvo: so ... i stopped hal and i am still here ;)13:25
mvoit was running, otherwise lshal does not give output afaics13:25
tseliotmvo: weird, that module is included in the nvidia-common package13:25
asacmvo: does restarting hal help?13:26
asace.g. are ther emore devices again?13:26
mvohm, now its not running13:27
asacmvo: but lshal gives an error then right?13:27
mvotseliot: you could try "export DH_PYCENTRAL=nomove" at the top of the rules file to prevent it from using its symlink sutff13:27
mvoasac: restarting it manually helps13:28
mvoasac: now I have 39 device13:28
mvotseliot: let me check that13:30
tseliotmvo: ok but how do I test it? Or how do I simulate a dist-upgrade to make sure that this change fixes that13:30
tseliotok13:30
mvotseliot: hrm, nomove may not be enough becasuse we move to python2.6 soonish13:32
mvotseliot: hm,13:32
mvohm13:32
asacmvo: for me it looks a bit like hal is really down for you (according to syslog it disappeared and never came back)13:33
asaccouuld be that dbus has issues13:33
mvotseliot: but its probably worthwhile to upload with nomove, probably not worse than the current situation :/13:33
mvotseliot: (no offense, its just that python packages are problematic since some time for upgrades)13:34
mvothat has nothing to do with nvidia-common, python-apt is having the same problems for example13:35
tseliotmvo: ok, let me commit the change to my bzr branch.13:35
mvotseliot: thanks, I'm happy to sposnor and re-test13:35
asacmvo: triggered) in postinst is what?13:35
asacobviously "trigger" ;)13:35
mvoasac: it seems like it is restart once when it comes back (with limited output) and once when its gone13:36
asacmvo: why would it be restarted twice?13:36
mvoasac: do you still have the bugnumer at hand?13:36
asacare we sure udev and dbus are in proper state?13:37
mvoasac: no13:37
mvoasac: I mean, they may be in some strange limbo too, dbus may not like it that its not restarted for example13:37
asacright. maybe format changed or something and reload with the old daemon causes bad parsing13:38
asacor other errors13:38
asacwhat about udev ... is that restarted/reloaded?13:38
mvoyeah13:38
mvoI don't think so13:38
mvothe logs show nothing13:38
asaclet me get the package13:38
asacmvo: http://pastebin.com/fd2a75be see line 19113:39
mvohm13:40
asacalso the # upgrade from intrepid hack ;)13:40
asacrm_ubunut_rules sounds a bit harmful13:40
asacso maybe its a bad order like:13:41
asachal restarted with old udev ... and then udev restarted ;)13:41
mvoquite possible13:42
asacor hal not restarted, but udev and hal cheking whether devices it has in cache still exist ;)13:42
asacand they are not there and then we just have 2 devices ;)13:42
asacspeculation speculation13:42
tseliotmvo: ok, I've just pushed revision 10 ( lp:nvidia-common )13:42
asacpitti: any clue how hal behaves if udev gets restarted?13:43
asacpitti: we seem to lose a bunch of devices during upgrade in lshal (e.g. from 39 to 2)13:44
asacmvo: #327053 ? you mean that?13:44
asacnot sure if thats your bug. the bug refers to a segfault13:45
mvoasac: yes, I added comments13:45
mvoasac: I attach the full upgrade log when the upgrade is finished13:48
asacok13:48
mvothat should give us information about the ordering of udev/hal restrarts13:48
asacyeah13:48
mvotseliot: do you want me to sponsor it?13:49
pittiasac: not out of my head; does udev re-send all the device information (i. e. do a coldplug) when it gets started?13:49
tseliotmvo: yes, please13:49
pittiasac: I don't think I ever manually restarted udev and watched13:49
asacpitti: thats what i am wondering about too13:49
asacpitti: does udev actually push or does lshal pull?13:50
asacerr hal ;)13:50
asactoomanytimeslshal ;)13:50
pittiasac: udev pushes13:53
pittiasac: particularly, it sends "kevents" over the udev socket13:54
pittiasac: try sudo udevadm monitor --environment13:57
pittiasac: that's pretty much the same what hal sees13:57
asacthanks13:57
asaclet me check what happens when i restart udev13:57
mvo_asac: yep, confirmed. at some point, hal stops running, lets see if it gets started again14:01
asacmvo_: sure apport is on ? ... maybe it crashed?14:01
asacyou probably could run hald --no-daemon or something manually before upgrading14:02
asacor hope that apport always works ;)14:03
pittihal is stopped/restarted in the init scripts14:03
mvo_asac: apport is on (and detected a nvidia-detector crash ;) - but no hal crash14:04
mvo_yeah, probably stopped and not yet restarted14:04
mvo_asac: eh, hald --no-daemon for testing?14:05
mvo_asac: or as a general workaround ?14:05
asacmvo_: for testing and to run it in gdb ;)14:05
asacin case it segfaults14:05
asac--daemon=no14:05
asacit is14:05
pittiand --verbose=yes14:05
mvo_I don't think it does14:05
mvo_ok14:06
mvo_will do that for the next run (after this one is finished)14:06
mvo_asac: hal is not available simply because its stopped and then much later restarted (commmon beavhiour of daemons during upgrades)14:14
mvo_asac: log is attached14:14
rickspencer3kenvandine: good morning14:15
asacmvo_: thats a problem then14:15
asacpitti: why does hal do that?14:15
kenvandinegood morning rickspencer314:15
asacmvo_: can you actually associate the hal-goes-down event with network manager stopping device?14:16
mvo_asac: yes, but for the first hal restart already at around ~20% (see the bugreport for the correct number)14:17
asacmvo_: it says "restarting" not stopping for both times14:19
pittiasac: it's just the standard dh_installinit behaviour; we can certainly fix it if needed14:20
asacmvo_: sorry. all good. i was dumb enough to not search everything ;)14:24
asacmvo_: still the first few times it just gets restarted14:24
asacbut wll. i will stare a bit more at the logs tomorrow14:25
mvo_asac: thanks, the image is here, so testing it is easy14:26

macois there a way to change the font size for the new notification system? if not, will there be? that text is illegibly small (IMO) at the moment18:26
kenvandinemaco: seems fine to me...18:30
macoit's like size 8 text18:35
macook this could be to do with my use case. i'm using gtk apps inside kde.18:36

_MMA_Ok guys. Need a hand as to where to file this bug. The new notification system hit Jaunty. It uses a new set of icons that don't follow FreeDesktop standards.21:40
_MMA_That's fine and good but the icons were only put in the Human theme and not a better place like hicolor. So, the system is broken for *every* theme but human.21:40
_MMA_So the question is, where to file the bug? Notification system or Human icon theme?21:40
dobeywhat freedesktop standard?21:41
dobeyonly app icons should be installed to the system hicolor theme21:41
_MMA_dobey: Can you link me to that documentation? And help with this obvious issue.21:43
dobeyi don't know what the issue is. i'm not on jaunty yet21:43
_MMA_dobey: Pretty much what I 1st posted.21:44
dobeyyou said there are new icons which you think should be in hicolor21:44
dobeybut i don't know what those icons are :)21:44
_MMA_dobey: If you're not on Jaunty, it will be hard for you to help.21:44
dobeyi am guessing they are not app icons, though21:44
_MMA_So Ill wait for someone else.21:45
dobeycan you not simply list the icons and their installation path?21:45
_MMA_dobey: Depends on your outlook on what the new notification system is But like I said, it will be hard for you to help.21:46
dobeyif the icons are app-specific icons, then they should probably be doing http://live.gnome.org/ThemableAppSpecificIcons21:47
