poseidonI found what I think might be a bug (could be handy in some situations).  When I have a browser open and it's playing music my music player (banshee, rythmbox etc) doesn't work.  I've tested this with opera, firefox, banshee, amarok, and rythmbox.  So I think that the problem is independent of the applications.04:56
pwnguinthis is almost certainly flash's fault04:56
poseidonWell I am using the adobe version so I guess there isnt' anything we can do :(04:57
pwnguinyes / no04:57
dtchenit depends what audio backends are in use04:57
pwnguintheres stuff out there to sorta shim between flash and the newer audio stack04:57
dtchenas of intrepid, there is no need for flashplugin-nonfree-extrasound/libflashsupport04:58
poseidonI believe I just installed the flashplugin-nonfree package.  I don't know what kind of dependencies it uses04:59
dtchenif you're attempting to troubleshoot in jaunty, we should migrate to #ubuntu+1, otherwise (for a supported, stable Ubuntu release), #ubuntu04:59
poseidonI don't need any help.  Just wanted to let you guys know.05:00
dtchenwe're aware (well, at least the audio team), and it's most likely a misconfiguration at the user end05:01
dtchenas of intrepid, installing Flash through adobe-flashplugin or flashplugin-nonfree does the right thing WRT pulse05:01
dtchen(obviously for Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, etc., that don't seed PulseAudio, it's moot)05:02
poseidonI'm using a pretty default ubuntu interpid.05:02
dtchendefault meaning with or without updates?05:03
poseidonwith latest updates05:03
dtchenthen it's already a resolved issue for jaunty05:03

geserdoko: is there a common solution for FTBFS because the configure script sets the python script dir to "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages"?10:53

maxbSpeaking of manual bootstrapping, cmucl (universe) is in more-or-less the same situation except it's been like that since warty or thereabouts. Is there some guideline on what should happen to packages like that?13:04

IntuitiveNippleWhen debugging multi-threaded apps, using gdb, is it possible to deduce which thread a function pointer is in by comparing its address to the gdb "info threads" list and looking at the Linux thread systags (which show addresses as far as I can tell) ?13:07
maxband if no-one's got round to that since warty, who makes a call on when to kick the old binaries out of the archive?13:08
broonieIntuitiveNipple: A function pointer isn't in a thread.13:08
persiamaxb, Anyone can file a removal bug, and any developer can approve it, although generally it's left for someone to fix later, especially if it's maintained in Debian.13:09
IntuitiveNipplebroonie: Indeed, but I'm dealing with a structure with a request_handler * and the thread that was running the request_handler seems to be closing prematurely, so I'm trying to figure out how to get gdb to confirm that13:13
broonieIntuitiveNipple: Breakpoint in the function and step through it (or trace in the function)?13:16
IntuitiveNipplebroonie: Hmmm, not sure that'll work since I can't identify (whilst the suspect thread is still active) which one it is, since I can only check the reference to it *after* it has gone AWOL!13:18
IntuitiveNipplebroonie: It's a really convoluted AT-SPI >libORBit2 > atk-bridge  > java > eclipse issue13:20
IntuitiveNipplebroonie: What I was hoping to trust is the gdb 'info threads' lists. I take one whilst the thread is alive, tell the app (eclipse) to close, it gets stuck, I take another thread list and find several have shutdown and one is stuck in a loop that surrounds a g_cond_timed)wait(), drill down into the data structures and try to figure out what is expected to be on the other end of the libORBit2 connection - the suspicion being the closed th13:24

superm1jcole, no, but the ideal situation is to have zenity grab focus.  as of right now, mythtv-setup doesn't work right for several situations because the zenity window is not focusing21:26

superm1jcole, we're not going to change the zenity behavior for just mythbuntu, i'd prefer that we see it fixed in the distro21:31
superm1jcole, it's best to ask the #ubuntu-desktop folks why this is the way it is21:32
superm1I agree it sounds wrong right now21:32
directhexpochu, which source package is that?21:32
NCommanderCan a buildd admin please kill the build on rhenium?21:32
superm1jcole, but if it comes down to it that the desktop team isn't willing to change that behavior, i suppose mythbuntu can ship a glade file and divert the one in zenity, but that's definitely not what i want to do21:34
