ebroderI'd kind of like to try and get the fix for bug #340993 SRU'd into Hardy and Intrepid. Does this seem reasonable? (it's just an additional build-dep and dep)01:28
ubottuLaunchpad bug 340993 in alpine "alpine's ./configure wants Build-Depends and Depends: aspell" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/34099301:28
jdongbryce_: looks like someone already filed my bug indeed (bug 329039)05:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 329039 in linux "jaunty alpha 4 live cd hangs on macbook when starting gnome" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/32903905:57
jdongthe symptoms are frustratingly nondescript :)05:57
macojdong: are you able to do that bootchart hack that shows what's happening during gnome startup?06:03
jdongI haven't tried; that's not really a priority right now06:04
bryce_jdong: that's a pretty poorly done bug report though; no logs provided, bisection, or other sort of analysis that a dev would need to look into it.06:17
jdongbryce_: indeed; what kind(s) of logs would be useful? After a hard reset I don't really see anything worthwhile in /var/log...06:18
jdongthe closest to bisecting the problem is "it didn't happen in Intrepid"...06:18
keesoh excellent, -Os still leaves fortify enabled.06:18
bryce_jdong: you really need to familiarize yourself with https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/ ;-)06:20
bryce_lots of stuff there that'll help you analyze that bug better06:21
jdongI'll see how close I can get by watching over SSH as it hangs06:24
jdongbryce_: heh I can log in post-hang; from Xorg.0.log I see exaCopyDirty: Pending damage region empty!06:42
jdongthen a re-EDID probe06:42
jdongis that EXA message suspicious or normal?06:42
bryce_I think it's normal06:42
jdongok, other than that I just see another EDID probe; nothing out of the ordinary06:43
jdongMar 15 06:39:16 ubuntu kernel: [  413.257002] [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 606:43
jdongis that normal?06:43
bryce_no06:43
jdongit doesn't coincide with the hang though; just happens whn X.org starts06:44
jdongthe hang is triggered by compiz --replace06:44
bryce_if it doesn't coincide with the hang, it is probably not relevant06:45
jdongack this livecd booting is way too noisy; I'll do a quick install to disk and try to get a backtrace06:45
jdongthanks for your time06:46
bryce_yup06:47
jdongbryce_: aha, got a backgrace08:34
jdongbacktrace*08:34
jdonglooks identical to bug 32784408:34

* jdong wonders if his obscenely large fonts is a bug or feature08:59
Tm_Tjdong: feature, font sizes are over 8 by default08:59
* Tm_T hides08:59
jdongah, my DPI was at 112 for some reason.09:00
jdong96 looks "right" on my display09:00
Tm_Tthay all look wrong to me (:09:01
jdonglol09:01
* Tm_T really hopes to get >160 dpi display some day09:01
Tm_Tit's not fun that you have to count pixels when you choose your font settings, or watch those pixels anyway09:02
jdonghaha it also look like jaunty display brightness setting is in gray coding :)09:02
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
wgrantjdong: Feature. 96DPI just looks reasonable because you're used to it.10:36
wgrantLCDs tend to look a lot less bad with the default DPI setting when you use full hinting rather than slight.10:36

directhexis there a "right way" to mount network drives on boot, given n-m, yet?12:18

slytherinpitti: is there any plan to update ekiga to 3.0.2? It adds settings/data migration from 2.x.13:03

yao_ziyuanand modified update-notifier-kde to launch update-manager when updates are available.13:40
yao_ziyuanthe remaining problem is how to set up a mechanism to periodically check apt for updates13:40

bryce_jdong, there's a page on the X wiki explaining about the changed font dpi situation21:29
fatal_bryce_: hi... I'm having problems with graphics corruptions since updating to Jaunty. I see you have updated packages in your PPA that failed to build.... are there built ones available somewhere for testing?21:44
bryce_fatal_: for -ati?  latest is in the archive now.21:44
fatal_(xserver-xorg-video-intel)21:44
bryce_oh, no it needs a kernel patch first before it'll build.21:44
fatal_ok..21:45
jdongbryce_: any hints on that backtrace I got for my X hang?21:57

jdong#1  0x00007fd37cf383bd in drm_intel_gem_bo_start_gtt_access ()21:58
bryce_jdong, when I was looking at the 2.6.2 cl there were a number of bo fixes, so perhaps that includes a fix for this issue22:00
bryce_jdong, are you using UXA or EXA?22:00
jdongbryce_: whatever the default is on the GMA950; I made no changes to xorg.conf; assuming EXA22:00
jdongI tried explicitly using UXA and that hung right at GDM22:01
bryce_hmm22:01
jdong(a bunch of various kern.log oopses)22:01
bryce_jdong, unfortunately calls #0 #1 and #2 in your trace don't have symbols.  Maybe you forgot to install the dbg package for libdrm?22:02
jdongbryce_: could very well be; let me verify and augment the trace22:02
jdongah, -intel-dbg evaded me.22:03
jdongbryce_: ok now you're gonna question my sanity.22:12
jdongcompiz loaded without crashing this time...22:12
jdongalbeit horrifically laggy22:12
jdong*investigates*22:13
ScottKjdong: I don't think anyone is confused about your sanity.22:14
jdong:P22:14
jdongI suspect a suspend/resume cycle did something. Let me reproduce.22:15
jdong*cry* why is life so unfair; all I did was remove appletouch.22:18
jdongand some USB autosuspending hacks.22:18

bryce_heisenbug22:19
jdongmaybe it only works when I DON'T have a full symbol gdb stack ready ;-)22:21
jdongok got the hang to happen22:23
jdongit doesn't seem to be using the intel debugsyms though?22:24
jdongstill get No symbol table info available.22:24
jdongon /usr/lib/libdrm_intel.so.1 with libdrm-intel1-dbg installed22:24
jdongPEBKAC22:28
jdongwait22:28
jdongbryce_: any hints on not being able to get symbols on libdrm_intel.so.1 and i915_dri.so? I've got their -dbg packages installed22:29
bryce_hmm, that should do it22:31
bryce_jdong, I assume you restarted X?22:32
jdongI am pretty sure I did22:33
jdonglet me reboot the hung system to be sure.22:33
bryce_I'm not seeing any errors in the libdrm rules script, I'm fairly sure this should all be there22:34
jdongbryce_: getting closer, got a traceback but this one looks very different22:38
jdong(I'll go grab drm symbols too, grumble)22:38
jdonghttp://paste.ubuntu.com/131747/22:39
bryce_jdong, maybe you should try seeing if Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" gives better stability for you22:40
jdongbryce_: IIRC that gave me nasty kernel oops hangs22:41
jdongI can try that next if you don't feel these backtraces are useful22:41
jdong*tries UXA*22:41
bryce_jdong, well, without the libdrm symbols it's hard to troubleshoot.  If it turns out to be an -intel EXA bug, upstream likely won't care about it, since they're moving on to UXA anyway22:44
jdongbryce_: compiz didn't crash but I am getting one frame every 8-10s22:45
jdongMar 15 18:43:36 blackbook64 kernel: [  108.203351] [drm:i915_getparam] *ERROR* Unknown parameter 622:45

jdongXorg.0.log shows nothing of interest happening22:45
jdonghttp://jdong.mit.edu/~jdong/broken_macbook_uxa.txt full log if that helps22:47
jdongbryce_: SUCCESS -- turning off Sync to VBlank solves the performance issue23:10
bryce_jdong, excellent23:12
bryce_hmm, thought tjaalton had switched that off by default23:13
jdongbryce_: hmm didn't seem to happen on my jaunty alpha6 stock install.23:13
jdongbryce_: only bug is the display crashes on resume, I think I saw that bug filed23:13
geofftdirecthex: (re 08:18) still around?23:35
directhexhm?23:35
geofftdid you get your question about network manager on boot answered?23:37
directhexno23:38
directhexi reckon if-up.d/mountnfs is doing as it's supposed to though23:39
directhexassuming the script is executed when nm brings up the interface (the script works, i haven't tested that it's triggered when it should be)23:39
geofftI think that works23:40
directhexunmount is another story23:40
directhexcifs umounts after the network has disappeared involves a rather lengthy delay23:41
geofftso, when I had a machine with wireless that needed to do networked login23:41
geofftI wrote http://web.mit.edu/geofft/Public/start-network.py. It's a horrible hack but it sufficces23:41
