hyperaircrimsun: are pulseaudio sinks always physical devices?12:00
egaliabye12:00
persiahyperair: No: see http://pulseaudio.org/wiki/Modules for a list of sink types.12:01
hyperairpersia: i see. that makes things harder..12:02
* hyperair should probably start with filing a bug12:02
persiahyperair: What are you trying to do?12:02
hyperairpersia: see, if you have multiple pulseaudio instances running on the same computer... and you put the computer to sleep.. the hook will record the state of, and mute each sink.12:03
ogra_cmpci dont think you can put the computer to sleep if multiple people are logged in12:04
hyperairogra_cmpc: can't you?12:04
hyperairogra_cmpc: well in my case i had a gdm session and my own session.12:04
ogra_cmpci remember lamont complaining about that a week ago or so12:04
hyperairso there was a gdm pulseaudio, and my own pulseaudio session.12:04
hyperairthe problem was... the sinks on both instances were both mapped to the same physical device12:04
ogra_cmpcyeah, thats different12:04
hyperairso it went like this: it muted the sink of gdm's pulseaudio, and recorded that state. then it queried the state of my pulseaudio's sink, and then also muted it.12:05
hyperairthe problem is: regardless of the state of the sink, it is now muted after recording gdm's pulseaudio's state.12:05
hyperairwhen resuming, the states are restored in the same order12:05
ogra_cmpcyeah, sounds like a bug12:05
hyperairi know, i wrote that script >_>12:05
persiahyperair: So, you need to find a way to serialise and track each instance separately.12:08
hyperairpersia: yep.12:08
hyperairpersia: but i don't have the time to do it now. i wonder if it counts as a SRU..12:09
persiahyperair: It needs fixing anyway.  Fix it as soon as you can: if you get it before release, ask the Release Team if it can be in lucid.  If it's after, ask the SRU team if it can be backported.  Either way, make sure it's fixed in maverick.12:10
hyperairpersia: no problem.12:12
hyperairpersia: it's really a corner case though, so i wonder what priority to assign it12:13
persiaAsk for guidance in -bugs, really.  I'd probably call it "Medium" offhand, but I'm not entirely confident, and not a good candidate to have an opinion since I mute audio all the time, and rarely suspend.12:17

bgamariHow exactly does mountall fit into the boot process?17:11
bgamariAll but one of the kernels on my Lucid test machine will not boot17:11
ionIt does the fsck, mount and swapon when devices appear.17:11
bgamariInstead they get stuck waiting for mountall17:11
bgamariI can't seem to coax any useful debugging output from it17:11
bgamariIt emits upstart events as devices come up (i.e. root partition)17:12
bgamari?17:13
ionI take it your kernels are new enough (≥ 2.6.32 IIRC) and not missing important configuration options?17:13
bgamariThe only kernel that does work is my self-built 2.6.34-rc17:13
bgamariEven the -ubuntu kernels are failing17:13
ionPlease provide the --debug output from mountall with a working kernel and a failing ubuntu kernel.17:15
bgamariion, alright, give me a few minutes17:15
bgamariion: It's --verbose, not --debug?17:16
bgamarivice versa rather17:16
bgamari--debug doesn't seem to be documented17:16
ionAdd --debug >/dev/mountall.log 2>&1 to the ‘exec mountall ...’ line in /etc/init/mountall.conf17:17
bgamariyep17:18
ionDunno why --help doesn’t list --debug.17:18
bgamariIt would be helpful if --debug were reported in --help17:18
bgamariyeah17:18
bgamariI can open a bug for that if that would help17:19
bgamariI think libnih handles --help17:19
bgamariion: I just realized, piping the output to a file might not be the beste idea17:20
bgamariI won't be able to read the file in the case of the non-working kernels17:20
bgamariI can put a serial console on the machine17:20
ionmkay, nih/option.c says --debug is deliberately hidden from --help.17:21
bgamariarg17:22
ionDo as you seem best, but you could always use sulogin.conf from http://upstart.ubuntu.com/wiki/OMGBroken to get a command line.17:22
iondeem17:22
kirklandis it really, actually impossible to boot 10.04 with plymouth entirely disabled?17:26
akkkirkland: I've tried moving plymouth* out of /etc/init on two machines and it made no noticeable difference.17:27
akkboth machines still boot fine, though I haven't tried with a gnome desktop after that17:27
ScottKkirkland: I think it's best described as not reliable.  plymouth handles some I/O serialization tasks (IDK the specifics), so it may work, but shouldn't be dependend on.17:31
ScottK</parrot mode>17:31
kirklandScottK: hmm, okay;  that's make pure text-style server consoles impossible now?17:35
ionakk: Just wait until mountall really, really needs to interact with you. :-P17:35
bgamariion: Well, it actually seems thata my hypothesis was wrong17:35
bgamariit's not mountall17:36
bgamariIt seems I don't even get to mountall17:36
bgamariThe working configuration gave me quite a bit of output17:36
ScottKkirkland: That's my recollection of how I've seen it explained.  IDK the details.17:36
ScottKI'm not saying you're at all wrong.17:36
bgamarithe dead configuration doesn't produce much of anything17:36
ionbgamari: Did you try sulogin.conf? Do you get a command line in a virtual console?17:37
bgamariI do get a command line17:38
bgamariyes17:38
bgamariand root has been mounted17:38
ionDoes mountall start at all?17:39
bgamariI really don't think so17:39
bgamariI didn't get any debugging output17:39
ion/dev/mountall.log doesn’t exist?17:39
bgamarione moment17:41
bgamariI wasn't redirecting to a file17:41
bgamariion: Nope, mountall.log doesn't exist17:46
ionOk, some job that has ‘start on starting mountall’ seems to block mountall then.17:47
bgamariion, alright17:48
ionhwclock, plymouth, ureadahead on my system. Try commenting out the ‘start on...’ line from each job that starts on ‘starting mountall’. If that lets mountall start, try reverting that change one by one.17:48
akkAre there any programs for showing the upstart event tree, or for asking questions like "what jobs might block mountall" ?17:49
iongrep 'starting mountall' /etc/init/*.conf17:49
akkWorks as long as it's only 1 level deep.17:50
ScottKpersia: Congratulations.  You resolved the last non-sparc depwait in Main.17:50
bgamariakk, that would be nice17:50
akkbgamari: I've been idly thinking about trying to write something like that but was hoping it already existed. :)17:50
akkThe upstart docs are still pretty sketchy, though.17:54
bgamariion, akk: the problem was one of hwclock, plymount or ureadahead17:58
bgamariEnabling hwclock still works17:59
bgamariplymouth*17:59
bgamarithe problem appears to be plymouth18:01
ccheneyMirv: ok will get that done soon18:01
bgamariion, akk, yep, reverting plymouth.conf makes the machine unbootable again18:02
ionI’m not familiar enough with plymouth to give specific debugging tips, but you might try e.g. strace -s100000 -f -o/dev/plymouthd.strace /sbin/plymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session.18:06
ionAnyone here familiar with the inner workings of plymouth?18:06
ionplymouthd --mode=boot --attach-to-session --debug --debug-file=/dev/plymouthd.log might also be helpful.18:07
bgamariion: alright18:18
bgamariion: well, not much happened18:21
bgamariplymouth took control of the VT after producing some pretty generic debugging output18:21
bgamarimostly about it deciding whether or not to log18:22
ionKeybuk and slangasek have done a lot of work on plymouth, they should be able to help debug the issue.18:23
bgamariion: alright18:23
bgamarithanks for your help!18:23
bgamarislangasek: ping18:23
crimsunhyperair: no, not always.18:42
crimsunhyperair: also, regarding that bug, the real fix is (I think, noted, but I'm not sure given my phone's acting oddly) to remove the pm-utils hook altogether18:43
ionbgamari: You should report a bug with all the information you have so far, asking for instructions for debugging further.18:44
hyperaircrimsun: remove the hook? are all the audio drivers fixed well enough for it to be removed?18:55
bgamariWill Lucid really make it's scheduled release date?19:04
bgamariits*19:04
bgamariIf I'm not mistaken, it's set to release in less than a week19:04
hyperairwhy wouldn't it?19:05
bgamariYet several pretty important bugs remain unsolved (the IPv6 name resolution issue, a few boot issues I've heard people experiencing, the GEM memory leak was only solved a few days ago)19:06
bgamarijust seems like there's been a lot of flux for being so late in the cycle19:06
hyperairthere's an IPv6 issue?19:06

akk /sbin/alsa-utils in lucid has comments explaining how to disable storing on an sysv-rc system, but not on upstart.19:21
hyperairScottK: tab completion ftw19:21
akkThe upstart file has start on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06] and always calls exec /sbin/alsa-utils stop19:22
akkwhich looks like it's calling stop on boot, and nothing on shutdown, but actually it seems to be saving on shutdown and restoring on boot.19:22
akkI'm having trouble understanding how that works from the docs I've found (man 5 init and the upstart getting-started guide).19:23
crimsunakk: err?19:28
crimsunakk: if you want to disable storing, either move the upstart job out of the way, or comment out the invocation in the stop target19:29
akkcrimsun: There doesn't seem to be a stop target. That's what I'm trying to understand -- why it gets called on shutdown at all.19:30
akk(and also how alsa-utils ever gets called with anything besides "stop" on startup)19:30
crimsunakk: I'm quite certain that /sbin/alsa-utils does have a stop target.19:30
crimsunline 37619:30
akkYes, but it also has a start target. Don't they do different things?19:31
crimsunyes, and the start target is only invoked from the udev rule.19:31
akkAh! So the upstart job is only for shutdown, not for startup?19:31
crimsunthat's correct.19:31
akkAnd "start on starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06]" happens any time runlevel is changed?19:32
crimsunno, only when entering runlevels 0 or 619:33
akk(so in this shutdown case, going from 2 to 0)19:33
akkOh, right, sorry, I was thinking there was a dash there.19:33
akkIs that the recommended way to do something at shutdown -- "starting rc RUNLEVEL=[06]" ?19:34
crimsun"it depends." For that particular use case, it needed to be serialized, so starting rc RUNLEVEL is correct19:35
akkI'd like to understand this stuff better, and understand why starting rc is better here -- but I don't want to be a pest (you've already answered my main questions).19:40
akkIf you have time to explain it (or know of good docs to read) I'd appreciate it, but if you don't have time, I quite understand.19:41
