bbordwellHello, I have a bug with update-manager that causes xorg to use 100% cpu usage for minutes at a time, but I am unfamiliar with triaging update-manager or xorg. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could provide helpful information?05:23
bbordwellI will be right back I have to restart my computer05:25
TakyojiAnyone heard of an issue of the pointer going hidden in 10.04?06:08
TakyojiAlso, what would be the appropriate logs to file for a bug report?06:13
TakyojiConsidering it seems X11-related, last time I remedied the issue by having to reset the cursor theme system-wide, yet the issue is back again..06:14

bbordwellIs anyone here experienced in triaging update-manager bugs?07:27
bbordwellmvo, can you help me with an update-manager bug?07:29
mvobbordwell: hey, sorry for the delay. yeah, I can help with that08:01
bbordwellmvo, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/59584508:02
ubot2Launchpad bug 595845 in update-manager (Ubuntu) "During "Building data structures" when starting the update-manager Xorg takes up 100% cpu (affects: 4) (heat: 20)" [Undecided,Confirmed]08:02
bbordwellI have no idea how to debug problems with update-manager though08:02
mvobbordwell: that is a interessting one - can you reproduce it?08:03
bbordwellmvo, yep on my maverick install08:03
mvobbordwell: nice! that is a great first step08:03
mvobbordwell: could you please do "bzr get lp:update-manager" ? I will add a little bit of code and we can see if the problem goes away then08:04
bbordwellmvo, I am going to boot into my maverick install realy quick.08:04
bbordwellbrb08:04
bbordwellmvo, alright I am back, could you please resend that last message?08:06
mvobbordwell: could you please do "bzr get lp:update-manager" ? I will add a little bit of code and we can see if the problem goes away then08:07
bbordwellIt says fetching revisions....08:10
bbordwellahh done08:10
bbordwellmvo, ^08:11
mvobbordwell: ok, now cd into update-manager and run bzr pull08:12
mvobbordwell: I'm pushing some new code now, but its not yet on the server08:12
mvobbordwell: but once its there you can run "PYTHONPATH=. ./update-manager"08:12
mvobbordwell: now its there, rev 186708:13
bbordwellsays now on revision 186608:13
mvobbordwell: please run the bzr pull again, probably a little bit of lack on the server :)08:14
bbordwellmvo, 186708:14
mvocool, please run that and let me know if it helps08:15
bbordwelljust run update-manager, no compiling or anything?08:16
mvoyes08:16
mvoPYTHONPATH=. ./update-manager08:16
mvothat should be enough08:16
bbordwellmvo, well it made building dependency tree much faster but I still got about 1 min of 100% cpu usage on building data structures08:19
bbordwell(before it took 8 min to build dependency tree, now about 15 sec)08:20
mvobbordwell: ok, how much items is it displaying for you?08:20
mvobbordwell: 8min? *jesus*08:20
mvobbordwell: so that looks like a good improvment :)08:20
mvobbordwell: what graphic driver is this?08:21

bbordwellitems? you mean updates?08:21
mvoyes, sorry. how big is the list?08:21

mvooh, ok08:21
bbordwellJust from starting it up, not checking for updates08:22
bbordwellthough it does the same thing after i check08:22

\vishbut the package was changed since the user mentioned it was synaptic.. maybe its the "progress bars" causing the havoc08:25
bbordwell\vish, synaptic works fine for me08:26
\vishoh well..08:26
bbordwellalso command line and software center work fine.08:26
mvo\vish: I think its something with the progressbar being called to often08:27
mvo\vish: at lesat part of the problem08:27
\vishyeah , i notice similar spike in CPU with the progress bars in firefox when using tabplus08:27
bbordwellmvo, on building data structures the progress bar is all the way full, if it is not moving is it still calling it?08:27

bbordwellmvo, I am afraid you are going to lose me soon I have to go to work but i should have about 10 more min.08:41
mvobbordwell: that helps, so the initCache is the culprit, I send you more update and then we can continue anytime you want :)08:41
mvobbordwell: I'm usually around in irc at european hours08:42
mvobbordwell: r1870 is comming08:42
bbordwellwell I may be back in around 5 hours I will check to see if you are around. Otherwise my launchpad Id is ~benbordwell so feel free to send me an email I will do what I can to help08:45

I am facing a problem  I'm opening Gmail in the browser using python's webbrowser module and gmail logs in the user automatically based on previous/current session....desired behavior is that Gmail for the notified account should open....so i need a way to logout of gmail, then login to the desired account all inside the browser...any ideas?11:16

chilicuildo you think I should assign the bug #601036 to the kwin package?, it's a mixup between an incomplete report (in my own opinion) and a support request, should I convert it to a question instead?13:18

micahgvish: which package is on top there?14:06
vishmicahg: by default the technical items are hidden , see just above the SC status bar  "20 other technical items" in  the first screenshot14:07
vish that is the branding one on top14:07
micahgvish: k, go ahead and open a firefox task and update the title to show it's the branding that has the issue14:08
vishmicahg: however ,the browser one shows up only when we select the "technical items" , it has the problem of the reversed deccriptions14:08
vishmicahg: sure thanks.14:08
vishmicahg: do you want 2bugs . one for the description switch and one for the branding package showing up?  or both can be dealt in the same?14:10

pedro_km0r3, looks like a video driver issue to me, what do you think?15:31
pedro_km0r3, the nomination needs to be rejected though, have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates15:32
