chrisccoulsonyeah, i'm ok thanks. how are you?16:01
seb128just waking up16:01
seb128I'm good I think16:01
chrisccoulsonyeah, it's quite early still isn't it?16:02
seb128will need to check after coffee and breakfast ;-)16:02
seb1288am16:02
chrisccoulsonyeah, that's quite early ;)16:02
seb128hehe16:02
seb128did you manage to figure what is wrong with your xorg crashing?16:02
NafaiI've been working since 7 AM :)16:02
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i've no idea what is going on yet. the machine locks up every time the display blanks too16:03
chrisccoulsonie, any time i close the lid16:03
NafaiI had to downgrade my nvidia drivers to get mine from stopping locking up16:03
chrisccoulsonNafai - this is with intel16:03
Nafai*nods*16:04
seb128you would think you can't go wrong with intel hardware16:04
seb128but still bugs happen ;-)16:04
chrisccoulsoni get some scary messages in my kern.log about GPU locking up too16:04
chrisccoulsonwhich is probably related ;)16:04
seb128yeah16:05
vishkenvandine: hi.. gwibber ppa broke gwibber>  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38709700/Traceback.txt how do i fix this ? even if i downgrade to the repo version i get this error16:05
chrisccoulsoni can SSH in to it, and kill Xorg, but i can't start another session, and none of the VT's work afterwards either16:05
NafaiThat reminds me, need to figure out why I can't ssh to this box after I installed openssh-server16:06
seb128vish, the appindicators are to replace the notification area not all applets16:06
seb128vish, ie not sure the clock applet is going there16:07
seb128speaking of which16:07
chrisccoulsonNafai - openssh-server is the first thing i install after doing a new install :)16:07
vishseb128: hehe , I said _maybe_ :)16:07
seb128Nafai, how are patches going? ;-)16:07
Nafaiseb128: Oh not bad.  I found a potential bug either in my code or in the app indicators because I can't get the icon to change when I change status16:10
NafaiBut in general, pretty good progress, getting in the swing of the changes that do need to be made16:10
seb128I think there is a bug open about that16:10
NafaiI talked with tedg last night and he wasn't sure what was going on16:10
seb128Nafai, hum16:11
NafaiI'll check the bugs to be sure16:12
seb128Nafai, bug 49872616:12

ubottuLaunchpad bug 498726 in indicator-application "doesn't support set_icon() more than once" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/49872616:12
NafaiThat's a different error but I would soon run into it :)16:13
seb128ok16:13
NafaiI meant that as I change from APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_ACTIVE to APP_INDICATOR_STATUS_ATTENTION, the icon doesn't update16:13
seb128in any case if you want me to look at your change ping me later16:13
seb128I'm about to go for breakfast16:13
seb128but I can have a look today16:13
seb128oh ok16:13
NafaiThanks, I appreciate it, any reviews would help, regardless16:14

* Nafai wonders how he is going to test brasero without his DVD burner in his computer :)17:20
NafaiI want to find/write a google mail checker that 1) uses app indicators 2) can check google domain accounts18:00
jcastrognome-gmail-notifier?18:00
jcastroit needs to be ported to app indicators. :)18:01
NafaiThat was uninstallable this morning, IIRC18:01
NafaiI wanted to try it out18:02
NafaiYeah, libsoup2.2-8 is unavailable18:02
NafaiQuestion for anyone that might have an idea...I've swapped out the burner from my laptop for a 2nd hard drive.  So I don't have a burner available.  Any way to "fake" one so I can test brasero? :)18:05
chrisccoulson_wb seb12818:11
seb128re18:11
seb128chrisccoulson_, I think I get your intel crash issue18:11
seb128doesn't happen with linux -11 though18:11
chrisccoulson_seb128 - yeah, a few people i've spoken to get the same issue on intel18:11
chrisccoulson_seb128 - i get this in my Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/369019/18:13
seb128did you try to downgrade linux to the previous version?18:13
seb128chrisccoulson_, I get the same stacktrace18:14
seb128works fine on this boot with the previous linux entry picked in grub18:14
chrisccoulson_seb128 - is the old linux still hosted anywhere? this is a fresh install, so i only have the new version18:17
pittio/18:18
Sarvattdoes sudo update-initramfs -u -k 'all' break the old kernel too? :D18:18
seb128hey pitti18:18
seb128chrisccoulson_, launchpad18:18
chrisccoulson_hey pitti18:18
seb128Sarvatt, I don't want to know18:18
seb128Sarvatt, ie I need a working kernel I can boot18:18
seb128Sarvatt, you think it's due to plymouth changes?18:19
Sarvattvery much so, no plymouth in the initrd anymore at all and it only removed it from the newest kernel on update, without it in the initrd it's really racy here and i imagine alot more so for you guys with the ssd's18:20
seb128Sarvatt, the issue is on my laptop with hdd18:21
seb128Sarvatt, it's crashing on the desktop, not on boot18:21
Sarvattoh nasty, sorry for the noise then18:22

chrisccoulsoni'm back on the laptop now18:33
pittichrisccoulson: still no luck?18:34
pittiwith the cracktop18:35
chrisccoulson_hey pitti18:35
seb128I'm pretty sure it's the same issue I've there18:35
chrisccoulson_nope, i'm back on the desktop again now18:35
seb128dunno if it's plymouth or kernel though18:35
chrisccoulson_it just crashed again ;)18:35
seb128try linux -1118:35
chrisccoulson_seb128 - i tried purging plymouth, and it still crashes18:35
chrisccoulson_i'll try -11 in a second18:35
chrisccoulson_seb128 - -11 froze as well19:02
ccheneypitti: yea for my system it seems radio off or pre-configured ap connection takes ~ 0.6s less time than having NM figure it out, not sure if you would see the same on the UNE images19:02
chrisccoulson_did you try with or without splash?19:02
seb128with19:02
seb128but as Sarvatt said before it might be an initrd change19:03
seb128initramfs rather19:03
seb128I didn't the old kernel ones changed19:03
seb128+get19:03
chrisccoulson_ah yes19:03
ccheneyonly takes 17.73s for my laptop with a hdd :)19:03
Sarvattin /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/plymouth you can change OPTION=FRAMEBUFFER to OPTION=FRAMEBUFFER=Y and sudo update-initramfs -u to just update the -12 kernel and put plymouth back in19:06
Sarvatthad to do that on all my machines because I dont see the point in having plymouth if it only shows a splash for <1 second :D19:07
ccheneyhmm shouldn't disk throughput be pretty much maxed out during ureadahead?19:09
ccheneyor does it not cache what it is reading ahead somewhere linearly?19:09
Sarvattalso I had to make this change to get plymouth to work right with our new linux-backports-modules-nouveau http://sarvatt.com/downloads/patches/plymouth-lbm-nouveau.patch19:09
Sarvattplymouth is all-around wacky right now for me though, the first boot after doing an update-initramfs always hangs on the splash screen, and i can't shutdown or reboot because its hanging on the splash as well19:13

kenvandinegreg-g, i'll talk to ryan19:54
ccheneypitti: isn't ureadahead supposed to have a pack file under /var/lib/ureadahead ?19:58
pitticcheney: it gets removed if you install/upgrade a file with an init script19:58
pittithen it gets reprofiled on next boot19:58
ccheneyok, hmm19:58
greg-gkenvandine: awesome, thanks buddy. Thanks for your awesome work this week (and all others)!19:58
kenvandinegreg-g, np :)19:59

chrisccoulson__seb128 - did you spend any time investigating your freeze issue (sorry, i went away for a bit)20:04
seb128chrisccoulson__, no, it's working with -11 for me20:04
seb128if it's not for you I'm ready to bet it's a initramfs issue20:05
seb128I don't want to update my -11 one to try though20:05
seb128I've work to get done at the sprint and no other box20:05
chrisccoulson__seb128 - yeah, that makes sense20:05
kenvandinegreg-g, thx :)20:06

chrisccoulsonpitti - i just rebooted my laptop, and noticed when my X session went away that absolutely everything I type on the keyboard is also being redirected to the VT that X is running on20:39
chrisccoulsoni wonder if thats contributing to my freeze when hitting enter20:39
seb128chrisccoulson: that's a plymouth bug20:40
seb128they have been looking at it yesterday20:40
chrisccoulsonah, ok. so that might be partly my issue then20:40
woozyis that also the reason why X sometimes starts on vt1 instead of vt7?20:40
bryce2woozy, no, that happens because if gdm can't use vt7 for some reason, it picks the next available vt20:42
bryce2which is vt1 sometimes (maybe vt8 other times?)20:42
chrisccoulsonright, so i don't seem to get the keyboard issue now i've removed plymouth20:43
chrisccoulsonhmmm, still locks up when shutting the lid, so that must be a separate issue20:47
woozybryce2: ah. well, the getty beneath X on vt1 also got all my keypresses I was doing in X. but that's probably due to the plymouth bug then, isn't it?20:47
bryce2yeah AIUI20:48

diverse_izzueis it planned to keep evolution at 2.28 for lucid, or is the 2.29 version simply not packaged yet?21:07
chrisccoulsondiverse_izzue - i believe the plan is to stick with 2.28 this cycle21:07
diverse_izzueaha, does the bonobo-free 2.30 seem too risky?21:07
chrisccoulsondiverse_izzue - yes, for the LTS release21:08
diverse_izzuehave people evaluated it? as i remember the guy porting it away from bonobo also claimed that an entire class of bugs would magically disappear due to dumping old dependencies21:12
seb128diverse_izzue, no21:25
seb128diverse_izzue, it's almost a rewrite21:25

NafaiI was trying to figure that out yesterday too22:02
NafaiI got it by accident one of the times I booted, but I wasn't sure which key I hit did it22:02
robert-ancell-thow does plymouth get loaded before  init?22:04
pittirobert-ancell-t: not before init, but immediately after initramfs22:04
robert-ancell-tso it gets loaded in parallel?22:05
pittiyes22:05
robert-ancell-tso where do you configure what processes the kernel starts?22:05
pittirobert-ancell-t: /etc/init/plymouth*.conf22:06
* robert-ancell-t finds everytime he looks at the boot process the kernel and others have learned new tricks22:06
robert-ancell-tpitti, no, but if I set init=/bin/bash plymouth still gets loaded22:06
pittiuh22:06
pittirobert-ancell-t: are you up to date wrt. packages?22:06
pittirobert-ancell-t: plymouth was moved out of the initramfs two days ago22:07
robert-ancell-twell, maybe not plymouth but there is a ubuntu logo on boot22:07
pittithat's plymouth22:07
robert-ancell-tI upgraded last night22:07
pittirobert-ancell-t: hm, so perhaps I'm wrong, and it's already started in initramfs then22:07
TheMusoIf believe plymouth only goes into the initramfs if you are using cryptsetup or some such.22:08
TheMusos/if/I/22:08
pittithat'd make sense22:08
robert-ancell-talso, why does mount now have a lot of "none on ..." entries?22:10
robert-ancell-tI remember in the good old days... :)22:10
robert-ancell-tIt's very confusing because mount says / is mounted rw but it's ro...22:12

robert_ancellin saying that, there probably is but it takes 15 obscure git commands to pull off :)22:31
Amaranthyou can do a shallow clone, no?22:31
Amaranthalthough you cannot push said clone, you have to use git-format-patch and email to send back changes22:33
