| dimeotane | can anyone give me some suggestions in how to get my evolution contacts to sync with Ubuntuone? I've followed a tutorial, but it hasn't synced yet. | 03:08 |
|---|---|---|
| duanedesign | hello dimeotane | 03:21 |
| dimeotane | hi | 03:22 |
| duanedesign | the tutorial you followed was this one probablly, right? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Tutorials/Contacts | 03:23 |
| dimeotane | yes | 03:27 |
| dimeotane | no keyring ever prompted for access though | 03:27 |
| duanedesign | ok | 03:27 |
| dimeotane | it seems to suggest you only need to copy your contacts and then voila in 10 minutes it will update | 03:28 |
| dimeotane | am I missing something? | 03:28 |
| wgrant | It Just Worked for me, but I'm running Lucid. | 03:28 |
| dimeotane | ok... I tried in karmic | 03:29 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: first verify evololution-couchdb is installed | 03:29 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: it should work in Karmic | 03:29 |
| duanedesign | apt-cache policy evolution-couchdb | 03:29 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: ^^ | 03:29 |
| duanedesign | run that in a Terminal (App > Accesories > Terminal) | 03:30 |
| dimeotane | says 0.3.2 is installed | 03:30 |
| duanedesign | you should get a line that says: Installed: 0.3.4-0ubuntu2 | 03:30 |
| duanedesign | ok | 03:30 |
| dimeotane | I tried looking at the .html file in the browser but it kept asking for a username and password | 03:31 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: run: killall beam.smp | 03:31 |
| duanedesign | dont run with sudo | 03:31 |
| dimeotane | asks for keyring access | 03:32 |
| duanedesign | allow | 03:32 |
| duanedesign | then: rm ~/.config/desktop-couch/desktop-couchdb.ini | 03:33 |
| duanedesign | this will remove the desktopcouch configuration file, which will then be re-generated. (This will not lose any data stored in desktopcouch, do not worry.) | 03:33 |
| dimeotane | ok | 03:33 |
| duanedesign | dbus-send --session --dest=org.desktopcouch.CouchDB --print-reply --type=method_call / org.desktopcouch.CouchDB.getPort | 03:34 |
| duanedesign | now that one will restart desktopcouch | 03:34 |
| duanedesign | You can ignore messages printed by this command | 03:34 |
| dimeotane | yea it gave strange message . | 03:37 |
| dimeotane | ok | 03:37 |
| duanedesign | you should be able to see your database now at: file:///home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html | 03:37 |
| duanedesign | replacing USERNAME with your username | 03:37 |
| dimeotane | I'm seeing the database | 03:39 |
| duanedesign | ok and there is a contacts database | 03:40 |
| dimeotane | yes there is | 03:40 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: ok, the contacts sync every 10 minutes. | 03:42 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: i have a script that you can use to speed that up :) http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/380739/ | 03:45 |
| duanedesign | if you save that to your home folder as couchport.py for example | 03:45 |
| duanedesign | then run it: python couchport.py | 03:45 |
| duanedesign | that should initiate a sync | 03:46 |
| dimeotane | i tried repeating this process on another laptop (with lucid) and it hangs on dbus-send --session --dest=org.desktopcouch.CouchDB --print-reply --type=method_call / org.desktopcouch.CouchDB.getPort | 03:50 |
| dimeotane | Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. | 03:50 |
| wgrant | dimeotane: I had that for a while. Then I reinstalled for other reasons, and it all started working. | 03:54 |
| dimeotane | ok | 03:55 |
| dimeotane | I | 03:55 |
| wgrant | dimeotane: Before the reinstallation, it was also failing to replicate, and downloading a lot of data reguarly in the process. | 03:55 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: make sure beam has quit | 03:55 |
| dimeotane | I ran your python script on karmic | 03:55 |
| duanedesign | ps uaxxc | grep beam | 03:55 |
| duanedesign | after you run killall beam.smp | 03:56 |
| dimeotane | no process found | 03:57 |
| duanedesign | hmmm | 03:57 |
| dimeotane | I installed on alpha 2 | 03:57 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: i am starting up my Lucid install to see if i can replicate | 03:59 |
| dimeotane | I've read that syncing firefox bookmarks is on the way too? | 04:00 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: yes it should be really close | 04:04 |
| dimeotane | Ok.. I rebooted the karmic and after a ubuntuone sync theres my contacts online.. thanx! | 04:07 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: ok great | 04:10 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: bindwood is the name of the Firefox add on for bookmark sync | 04:11 |
| dimeotane | I tried adding it today.. but the latest version of firefox can't use it | 04:11 |
| dimeotane | v 3.6 | 04:11 |
| dimeotane | I also looked at firefox weave.. but I dont' like how it says it can also sync passwords, browsing history.. and alot of other information.. when I only want my bookmark collection synced | 04:12 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: looks like there is a version that works with 3.6 | 04:15 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: if you already have bindwood installed you can run the following to run the newest one: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:urbanape/bindwood-exp && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:16 |
| duanedesign | if you dont have it installed, replace the last sudo apt-get upgrade with sudo apt-get install bindwood | 04:17 |
| dimeotane | W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/urbanape/bindwood-exp/ubuntu/dists/lucid/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found | 04:19 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: ha ha, i just got the same thing | 04:20 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: apparently i spoke to soon. looks like the package has only been added to the Karmic repos | 04:21 |
| dimeotane | duanedesign: I appreciate your help this eve regardless... | 04:22 |
| dimeotane | I' | 04:22 |
| dimeotane | I'll mess more with my lucid system tomorrow to try and get it to sync my contacts... but my karmic does now... | 04:22 |
| dimeotane | nite! | 04:22 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: if you come back tommorrow there is likely to be more people here to help | 04:33 |
| duanedesign | if you ping 'rye' he is the Customer Support Manager for Ubuntu one. He is a tremendous help | 04:33 |
| duanedesign | dimeotane: nite | 04:33 |

| greg-g | statik: I feel like I have to say it again: I do appreciate your (and the team's) work a ton. Especially your concern for the community's concerns. Thanks for that. | 17:43 |
| greg-g | statik: thought: I know it hasn't even been officially launched yet, but maybe a post from you addressing that concern? Why the choice was made (business wise, eg: "either mp3 or no SONY-label music") specifically. | 17:48 |
| beuno | greg-g, hi! I think jcastro is working on such a post | 18:04 |
| greg-g | beuno: awesome. thanks! | 18:07 |
| statik | greg-g, thanks! keep on keeping us honest :) yeah, i should blog more about this kind of stuff | 18:36 |
| dimeotane2 | Can someone help me with getting contacts to sync on lucid? | 18:41 |
| greg-g | statik: :) always. And yeah, I appreciate your views/opinions/reasons for things, so tell me about them! | 18:41 |
| dimeotane2 | Yesterday I was helped with karmic and it worked.. but the same steps didn't seem to work on lucid. | 18:43 |
| rye | dimeotane2, hi. searching for yesterday's log... | 18:46 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ok, I believe you have checked that you have evolution-couchdb installed, that desktopcouch-service is started and that evolution has CouchDB addressbook, right? | 18:48 |
| dimeotane2 | Yes that worked on karmic.. | 18:49 |
| dimeotane2 | do you have a guide online posted with that set of steps of removing the old ini and restarting couchdb? | 18:50 |
| rye | dimeotane2, were you able to log into futon (couchdb web interface)? | 18:50 |
| dimeotane2 | yes in karmic.. I'm now trying to get my contacts (now on ubuntuone) to sync with a lucid system | 18:51 |
| rye | dimeotane2, These steps were posted to http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktopcouch/Documentation/Troubleshooting | 18:51 |
| dimeotane2 | ok thanks.. I'll go take a look there | 18:51 |
| rye | dimeotane2, could you please describe what is the current state? | 18:52 |
| rye | dimeotane2, you may continue here I guess, I am running Lucid (after upgrade from Karmic) and the contacts are being replicated w/o any issue | 18:53 |
| dimeotane2 | desktop:~$ dbus-send --session --dest=org.desktopcouch.CouchDB --print-reply --type=method_call / org.desktopcouch.CouchDB.getPort | 18:53 |
| dimeotane2 | Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken. | 18:53 |
| dimeotane2 | that command on lucid gives an error | 18:53 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ok, could you please try the following | 18:55 |
| rye | dimeotane2, shut down evolution with evolution --force-shutdown | 18:55 |
| rye | dimeotane2, then stop desktopcouch service - /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-stop | 18:55 |
| rye | dimeotane2, then restart the service in the terminal as /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service | 18:56 |
| rye | it might print something to the terminal, if that contains something like 'error' or exception - please copy&paste it here - it may have some info about the origin of the issue | 18:56 |
| dimeotane2 | desktop:~$ /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-stop | 18:56 |
| dimeotane2 | Traceback (most recent call last): | 18:56 |
| dimeotane2 | File "/usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-stop", line 25, in <module> | 18:57 |
| dimeotane2 | local_exec = local_files.COUCH_EXEC_COMMAND + ["-k"] | 18:57 |
| dimeotane2 | AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'COUCH_EXEC_COMMAND' | 18:57 |
| dimeotane2 | it seems there was an error on the second step | 18:57 |
| dimeotane2 | I don't know if this is related.. but in the ubuntuone folder when I click connect... nothing happens.. one of my new files shows a double loop arrow | 18:59 |
| dimeotane2 | I guess that means it still has to sync | 18:59 |
| dimeotane2 | the system is updated.. perhaps I should reboot again? | 18:59 |
| rye | dimeotane2, yes, stop script is not yet fixed on lucid, true, could you please then ps auxw | grep [d]esktopcouch-service ? | 19:03 |
| rye | dimeotane2, one more, could you please write my nick (rye) before/after response so that I get a notification of the message? | 19:03 |
| dimeotane2 | yup | 19:09 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: 2010-02-21 14:10:47,332 - We seem to be running already, or can't publish our zeroconf advert. org.freedesktop.Avahi.CollisionError: Local name collision | 19:10 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: that's after running ps auxw | grep [d]esktopcouch-service | 19:11 |
| rye | dimeotane2, hm, ok , it looks we need to shut down desktopcouch-service completely first | 19:12 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: what do you make of this: I don't know if this is related.. but in the ubuntuone folder when I click connect... nothing happens.. one of my new files shows a double loop arrow | 19:12 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: I guess that means it still has to sync... do you think that is a sign of a related problem? Shall I reboot first? | 19:13 |
| rye | dimeotane2, hm, i don't think reboot will present more info on this | 19:17 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: file:///home/YOURUSERNAME/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html <-- when I open this it fails to connect | 19:18 |
| dimeotane2 | (with my username etc) | 19:18 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ok, that means that couchdb has not started properly | 19:18 |
| rye | dimeotane2, let's kill it completely first, then start it again | 19:19 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: same error 2010-02-21 14:20:58,527 - We seem to be running already, or can't publish our zeroconf advert. org.freedesktop.Avahi.CollisionError: Local name collision | 19:21 |
| rye | dimeotane2, re: files - firing up my vm to check this | 19:21 |
| rye | dimeotane2, hm, when do you get that error? I mean after what? | 19:22 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: before starting I did : /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-stop | 19:22 |
| dimeotane2 | and ps auxw | grep [d]esktopcouch-service | 19:22 |
| rye | dimeotane2, the stop script is broken for Lucid, so that it won't stop the service | 19:23 |
| dimeotane2 | after those i ran: /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service | 19:23 |
| rye | that's why i guess it will need to be 'killall beam.smp; killall desktopcouch-service' | 19:23 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: which gave the error | 19:23 |
| dimeotane2 | ok will try that | 19:23 |
| dimeotane2 | time to relax | 19:24 |
| dimeotane2 | that ran | 19:24 |
| dimeotane2 | crap an error.. it crashed | 19:24 |
| dimeotane2 | trying again | 19:24 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: it asks for user and pass when I navigate to the html file | 19:26 |
| rye | dimeotane2, you mean that it does not just say "you are about to log in to localhost with username a", it actually asks for the credentials? | 19:27 |
| dimeotane2 | yup | 19:27 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: when I start it it says: Removing stale, deceptive pid file. | 19:28 |
| dimeotane2 | Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax. | 19:28 |
| dimeotane2 | Browse your desktop CouchDB at file:///home/matt/.local/share/desktop-couch/couchdb.html | 19:28 |
| dimeotane2 | Segmentation fault (core dumped) | 19:28 |
| rye | wow | 19:28 |
| rye | that's something new | 19:28 |
| rye | can you please check that 'beam.smp' is running ? | 19:28 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: whats the command? | 19:29 |
| rye | dimeotane2, if that is running then it means that desktopcouch service has actually crashed | 19:29 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ps auxw | grep [b]eam.smp | 19:29 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: it seems to be running | 19:29 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: I'm gonna reboot to see if it fixes anything.. I'll be back in a minute | 19:30 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ok, is " ps auxw | grep [d]esktopcouch-service " returning anything ? | 19:30 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: no it doesn't | 19:30 |
| rye | dimeotane2, 'cause if it does then it means that python service has crashed which is really bad | 19:30 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: when I check for desktopcouch to be running it returns nothing... when I run the service it gives "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" | 19:40 |
| rye | dimeotane2, are you running Lucid with all updates applied? | 19:41 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: yup | 19:41 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: not proposed or backports for my software sources.. should I | 19:42 |
| rye | dimeotane2, good, so I believe we might need to run python under debugger | 19:42 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: those are not selected.. should I have? | 19:42 |
| rye | dimeotane2, you might try, but I believe that there is no backports since there is no "newer" version than Lucid is | 19:43 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: makes sense | 19:43 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: Hey a question for you: is this 'debugging' job we're doing helpful to ubuntuone.. or just a support pain ... should I just be more patient until newer updates? | 19:44 |
| rye | dimeotane2, i believe since there is no segfault reports in desktopcouch then this may not be fixed by updates | 19:47 |
| rye | dimeotane2, therefore it is better to catch it early | 19:47 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: are you on the ubuntone developer team? | 19:48 |
| rye | dimeotane2, i am in online services, more like a support engineer | 19:48 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: well I really appreciate the time you've taken with me on this so far.. I love Ubuntu.. and I think the direction it's going is really exciting.. I like to see it 'Just Work' | 19:49 |
| rye | dimeotane2, i want to see it running as well | 19:49 |
| rye | i am now testing what steps you will need to perform to debug this | 19:50 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ok, first of all it will be helpful to install python-dbg package | 19:57 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: k | 19:58 |
| rye | then you will need to run python under debugger: gdb /usr/bin/python | 19:59 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: ready | 20:01 |
| rye | this will start the debugger, you will get (gdb) prompt | 20:02 |
| rye | paste "set args /usr/lib/desktopcouch/desktopcouch-service" there and press enter | 20:02 |
| rye | before that make sure that beam.smp is not running, i.e. killall beam.smp to be sure | 20:03 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: ok | 20:04 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ok, now type "run" and see what happens | 20:05 |
| rye | you can copy and paste the output of the terminal to paste.ubuntu.com so that I could guide you better | 20:05 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: http://paste.ubuntu.com/381156/ | 20:06 |
| rye | dimeotane2, great, now type "bt" and press enter | 20:07 |
| rye | this will display the backtrace | 20:07 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: http://paste.ubuntu.com/381160/ | 20:09 |
| rye | great! that's gnome keyring calling python lib calling dbus library, ok, could you please now quit the debugger ("quit" and yes for terminating the app) | 20:11 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: ok | 20:12 |
| rye | dimeotane2, now could you please kill beam.smp again and install debug package for dbus | 20:12 |
| rye | searching for the one... | 20:13 |
| rye | heh, there is no one | 20:17 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ok, are you able to open seahorse i.e. Applications/Accessories/Passwords and Encryption Keys | 20:31 |
| dimeotane2 | rye ok | 20:42 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: I'm in there | 20:43 |
| duanedesign | hello dimeotane2 | 20:50 |
| dimeotane2 | hi | 20:50 |
| duanedesign | getting Lucid sorted out :) | 20:50 |
| dimeotane2 | yup | 20:51 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: still there? | 20:51 |
| rye | dimeotane2, yep, but I can't find anything related to gnome keyring, python and dbus, though I heard just recently that there is something bad with dbus and its python bindings that may crash that | 20:57 |
| rye | dimeotane2, regarding seahorse - are you able to open key for ubuntuone authentication? | 20:57 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: i see the ubuntuone token.. it's there | 20:58 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: what should I see or which tab should I check? | 20:58 |
| rye | dimeotane2, ok, are you able to open it and see the token itself? It should ask you whether you grant seahorse to open the key | 20:59 |
| rye | i'm just wondering what can be that different in our setups | 20:59 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: applications paths and permissions are blank.. is that ok? | 20:59 |
| rye | we got the backtrace but that leads us to gnome-keyring... | 20:59 |
| dimeotane2 | I can open it .. but it doesn't ask for any grant to open | 21:00 |
| rye | dimeotane2, yep, probably because the application (desktopcouch-service hasn't got a chance to read the token - it crashes right before that happens) | 21:00 |
| rye | ah | 21:01 |
| rye | wait | 21:01 |
| rye | dimeotane2, are there "Desktop Couch user authentication" entries? | 21:02 |
| dimeotane2 | rye: in seahorse theres two | 21:03 |
| dimeotane2 | basic and oath | 21:03 |
| dimeotane2 | oauth | 21:03 |
| rye | dimeotane2, and you are able to open both and see the secret | 21:04 |
| rye | right? | 21:05 |
| dimeotane2 | I can open both and see things.. but that last tab is blank in both | 21:05 |
| rye | dimeotane2, i believe I will need to consult with the devs to find out how can this be debugged. So far I see that it is a pretty strange state | 21:17 |
| dimeotane2 | ok | 21:21 |
