[05:45] <mwhudson> apologies if this is not the place to ask this
[05:45] <mwhudson> but this bug https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/377598 is still affecting me in lucid
[05:45] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 377598 in linux (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "[i945gm] Video corruption when disabling internal monitor (affects: 5)" [High,Confirmed]
[05:46] <mwhudson> even though it's fix released for xf86-video-intel
[05:46] <Damascene> hello, I wonder why mozilla-plugins-gnash isn't a dependences of gnash?
[05:46] <kklimonda> Damascene: because gnash can be used as a standalone application afair
[05:48] <Damascene> so someone thinks that people installing gnash may not use it with firefox?!!
[05:48] <Damascene> is there a bug about that or I might file one?
[05:51] <kklimonda> Damascene: people who want to use it with firefox should install firefox plugin
[05:52] <Damascene> what if some one doens't think so? might he file a bug?
[05:53] <kklimonda> Damascene: and what is your reasoning?
[05:54] <persia> mwhudson: There's two tasks in that bug: looks like the kernel portion isn't resolved yet.  Are you sure you're still seeing issues in the X driver?
[05:54] <mwhudson> persia: i'm running a kernel newer than that linked in the freedesktop.org bug report
[05:54] <mwhudson> i thnk
[05:54] <Damascene> I think 99% of people download flash player is for web
[05:55] <mwhudson> hm, maybe not
[05:55] <persia> mwhudson: Ah, you reopened it (I've just gotten through the log).
[05:56] <mwhudson> i don't think i touched the status did i?
[05:57] <persia> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/377598/+activity claims you did (about 6 weeks ago) or else I'm confused.
[05:57] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 377598 in linux (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "[i945gm] Video corruption when disabling internal monitor (affects: 5)" [High,Confirmed]
[05:58] <mwhudson> persia: oh yeah, so i did
[05:58] <mwhudson> i'm not sure i meant to though...
[05:59] <Damascene> kklimonda, ?
[06:00] <persia> mwhudson: I think the change was correct.  Try catching someone in #ubuntu-kernel (early in your morning Tues-Sat is likely best), and see what information you can provide to help them investigate further.
[06:00] <mwhudson> persia: ok
[06:00] <mwhudson> persia: thanks
[06:00] <kklimonda> Damascene: you may fill the bug but I don't think it's something that should be fixed - there are two plugins and gnash is the name of the standalone application
[06:01]  * persia would support wontfixing that : the firefox plugins *should* be installed separately.
[06:01] <persia> I believe there's even a helper tool installed by default that tries to install packaged plugins by preference (although this may be buggy)
[06:02] <Damascene> if we install adobe flash player doesn't it comes with a plugin in firefox or people are using it for other perpse
[06:02] <Damascene> *purpose
[06:03] <Damascene> I think then we should file a bug against adobe flash player installing a plug in firefox by default. right?
[06:03] <persia> I think that Adobe sticks everything in one package (standalone and plugin).  I don't happen to think this is best practice.  As the Adobe packages aren't controlled by us, we can't fix that bug.
[06:03] <persia> Damascene: We can't : there's no bug tracker for the Adobe packages, but I agree it would be nice to do so.
[06:06] <Damascene> if some one reported that to Adobe. they well think he is mad without doubt
[06:09] <persia> Why?
[06:09] <persia> Adobe certainly endorses the use of flash in contexts other than browsers.
[06:10] <Damascene> do you know any one who do so? me. no
[06:11] <persia> Actually, I do.
[06:12] <persia> Lots of folks use flash for demos of various sorts.
[06:12] <persia> I even use flash as the default interface for my smallest handheld.
[06:12] <Damascene> but not the majority for sure
[06:13] <persia> But is that because of this bug, or is this bug not important because of that?
[06:16] <Damascene> why we don't file it against gnash and ask them to include it in their package as adobe do?
[06:17] <Damascene> persia, it's a bug for me
[06:17] <persia> I believe gnash has the correct behaviour and adobe doesn't.
[06:17] <persia> I believe filing a bug against gnash would be precisely the wrong thing to do.
[06:18] <Damascene> I heard "it's ubuntu's choice to package them separately"
[06:20] <Damascene> you might install vlc without needing to use it with firefox but not a flash player for most user. any way I've had enough of that. maybe I'll file a bug or I might not. I'll think about it later
[06:21] <kklimonda> Damascene: but as there are valid use cases for having a standalone flash player and not plugin you would have to rename gnash -> gnash-player and mozilla-plugin-gnash -> gnash. and then what about konqueror plugin?
[06:21] <persia> Damascene: I don't see any supporting evidence of that being an Ubuntu-specific choice.  The lack of recommends or depends matches Debian.
[06:24] <Damascene> maybe this attitude against gnash because it has many weaknesses and it is not used by many people. I agree on that
[06:26] <kklimonda> right, we believe that it's unsuitable for users and are making it hard to install both gnash and swfdec on purpose. That's why we use alternatives system so people can have all 3 plugins installed at the same time.. oh, wait..
[06:27] <Damascene> good you mentioned swfdec. I've installed the "swfdec-mozilla" but there was no change in firefox. is it a bug?
[06:27] <kklimonda> no idea
[06:28] <kklimonda> well, it's probably a bug if it doesn't work
[06:28] <Damascene> thanks for letting me have this nice conversation
[06:30] <Damascene> we are serving the community. trying to find what is the best. and I agree gnash doesn't look like a flash player for web browser right now
[06:30] <persia> On the other hand, gnash is *way better* as an integrated component.  Adobe doesn't expose their libraries well without special licensing.

[09:17] <Akos> hi everyone
[09:19] <Akos> is there a channel for ubuntu-server specific bugs, or this is the right place for it?
[09:22] <andol> Akos: Well, there is the channel #ubuntu-server, even if it's not really specific to handling bugs. I guess this channel is a good general choice no matter, but with #ubuntu-server as a second choice in case the bugs involves som rather techinal server issues. kind of.
[09:24] <Akos> i dropped this question beacause i'd triage some bugs, just so i know where to bring the discussion (:
[09:25] <andol> Akos: Well, feel free to begin here then :)
[09:26] <Akos> andol: thank you (:
[09:31] <persia> Akos: Just to add another opinion: this is the correct channel for triaging bugs: #ubuntu-server for coordinating development and support.
[09:32] <Akos> okay, this makes more sence then. I shall stick around here. Too many channels confuse me (parting from #ubuntu-server )

[13:26] <vish> pedro_: hi.. got a min? could you have a look at Bug #527569 ? I have evolution frozen atm , i'v tried to attach and got a backtrace
[13:26] <ubot4`> Launchpad bug 527569 in evolution (Ubuntu) "Evolution freezes often [evolution crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall() ] (affects: 2)" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/527569
[13:27] <pedro_> vish, yup, let me have a look , one sec
[13:27] <vish> it already has a backtrace the first one i started evolution /in/ gdb
=== jonathan_ is now known as jjesse
[13:29] <vish> the second one i used (gdb) attach , but when i tried the Ctrl+c it doesnt seem to work if the program was already running , so i just skipped the option and retrieved the bt
[13:30] <vish> wasnt sure if that was the right way [to skip continue], hence checking :)
[13:33] <greg-g> ugh
[13:35] <pedro_> vish, could you get another one? the first one seems better but is missing a few symbols
[13:35] <Pici> again
[13:36] <pedro_> vish, install the dbg packages for the libraries which are having a ?? as a symbol like:
[13:36] <pedro_> ?? () from /usr/lib/evolution-data-server-1.2/camel-providers/libcamelpop3.so
[13:36] <BlackZ> hey pedro_ ! how are you ?
[13:36] <vish> pedro_: evolution is frozen now , so i can use the attach , but would an install now help?
[13:37] <pedro_> vish, nope, you need to run the program again if you installed the dbg packages after the execution of that program
[13:37] <vish> pedro_: ok , will do that..  thanks
[13:38] <pedro_> vish, you're welcome, just ping me if you need help with the backtrace
[13:39] <vish> pedro_: the only problem is , if i try to do a (gdb) continue and then try Ctrl+c  for an already frozen program , it doesnt end the program , is skipping the continue ok [if the program is already frozen]?
[13:42] <pedro_> vish, if the process is hanged and you attach gdb to it, it should (the vast majority of the programs) show you  the backtrace and there's no need to use continue/ctr+c method
[13:43] <pedro_> vish, but since you can reproduce it easily, run it under gdb and wait for the issue to appear then attach that log
[13:43] <vish> ok. neat , thanks..
[13:44] <pedro_> vish, also , are you getting any evolution-data-server crash/hang ?
[13:44] <pedro_> vish, could you check using the same method and attach that output to the report as well?
[13:45] <vish> pedro_: havent noticed the evo-data-sever causing problems , only the evolution is frozen
[14:16] <nigelb> chrisccoulson: I had pinged you about 2 bugs last night, did you see them?
[14:17] <chrisccoulson> nigelb - yes, thanks
[14:17] <nigelb> chrisccoulson: gpm upstream comments were a bit harsh :(
[14:18] <chrisccoulson> nigelb - yeah, they were fair though
[14:18] <nigelb> chrisccoulson: ubuntu had agreed to use their convention, but we have deviated this time though
[14:18] <chrisccoulson> we have a habit of making changes like this without discussing them with anyone, and GNOME has been string-frozen for ages too
[14:19] <nigelb> chrisccoulson: we'll be undoing?
[14:19] <chrisccoulson> i understand why hughsie is a bit annoyed with us
[14:19] <chrisccoulson> i think one of the changes was already undone
[14:19] <nigelb> oh, great :)
[14:19] <chrisccoulson> i think people proposing these changes at a distro-level often don't appreciate the effort involved
[14:20] <chrisccoulson> especially at this stage of the cycle. every time we change a string, it has to be translated again in every language
[14:20] <nigelb> I know, I was surprised that the change got uploaded (urm, you did I think)
[14:23] <Damascene> any one using vlc on lucid?   http://www.khayma.com/tajweed/taha/lameyatebnalqayem.mp3 causing white noise
[14:30] <cjwatson> chrisccoulson: I've been banging that drum at the installer level for years
[14:30] <cjwatson> so now I'm just really hard-arsed
[14:31] <chrisccoulson> cjwatson - yeah, it wouldn't have been so bad if the people proposing the changes did so a little bit earlier in the cycle
[14:31] <chrisccoulson> but they all landed on the day of UI freeze
[14:31] <cjwatson> freezes are like speed limits - they're a limit, not a target
[14:32] <chrisccoulson> and our UI freeze is already way past the GNOME string freeze
[14:32] <nigelb> cjwatson: the gpm upstream pretty much blasted me :(
[14:33] <chrisccoulson> nigelb, don't take it personally
[14:33] <chrisccoulson> i think he's upset with us in general
[14:33] <nigelb> chrisccoulson: I was in shock for like first few minutes ;)
[14:33] <nigelb> then I realized, I represented Ubuntu there, so he's just taking it out at Ubuntu
[14:46] <vish> pedro_: for > ?? () from /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0  which dbygsym should i install , i installed all these http://paste.ubuntu.com/399326/ , these were the ones i found having ?? in the last bt
[14:47] <vish> btw , this is the bt now> http://paste.ubuntu.com/399325/ , it only has ?? for  /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
[14:48] <pedro_> vish, you installed the -cli (C# binding) instead of the one for that symbol
[14:48] <nigelb> vish: I think I figured out the solution to our troubles in the hook.  Should get some time to fix those today :)
[14:48] <pedro_> vish, the easier way to know which package to install is doing a : dpkg -S /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
[14:48] <pedro_> vish, then install the -dbgsym package for the package the command returns to you
[14:48] <vish> pedro_: yeah , that[-cli] was the closest glib had , it didn have any other dbgsym
[14:49]  * vish looks again
[14:49] <vish> rather is was -cil-
[14:51] <pedro_> vish, if the -dbgsym is not available for you just install the -dbg one: libglib2.0-0-dbg
[14:52] <vish> right , thanks

[17:21] <alex_mayorga> nigelb: out of ignorance I guess :(

[17:22] <alex_mayorga> nigelb: oh! sorry then
