penguin42but it does work - it just takes a long time?00:49
Iraqiyes work but freeze stay more two minutes then back work00:49
Iraqiand again when just click on desktop will back to freeze00:50
penguin42hmm00:50
penguin42Iraqi: When it happens, use the dmesg command and see if there are any errors logged00:50
Iraqiwhich command?00:51
penguin42dmesg00:51
Iraqiwait please00:52
Iraqiis showing long lines00:56
Iraqialot of lines*00:57
Iraqi  penguin4200:57
penguin42can you get them to a website so I can look at them? Maybe use paste.ubuntu.com - the last 30 or 40 lines maybe?00:57
Iraqii'm in anther laptop00:58
Iraqiwait i try it00:58
Iraqipenguin42 check it in:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/465228/01:04
penguin42Iraqi: Is that after it has frozen?01:05
Iraqiis terminal was opened before and i typed it01:06
Iraqiyou want in time freeze i type dmesg?01:06
penguin42but has it frozen yet in this boot ?01:06
Iraqiwhen i use terminal will not happen any freeze but when i minmize terminal or any other app  will start freeze01:07
penguin42but has it frozen in this particular boot01:08
Iraqiyou mean please?01:08
penguin42since you rebooted has it frozen01:09
Iraqiso how i fix it?01:09
penguin42Iraqi: I can't help unless you can answer the question; maybe there is an IRC channel that speaks your native language that would be easier for you01:11
Iraqithem not answer01:12
Iraqican you try step by step way to Fix it01:12
penguin42Iraqi: 1) Make your machine freeze       2) do dmesg  and paste that dmesg01:13
penguin42do NOT reboot between 1 and 201:13
Iraqii didn't reboot01:13
Iraqireboot ( restart) < you mean right01:13
penguin42yes01:14
Iraqiwait is take time01:14
penguin42the only errors in that dmesg were about your wireless, so it's not that - you could try running 'top' in a terminal while it freezes and maybe that will show what is happening; I would also check your hard disk is OK01:15
Iraqipenguin42    http://paste.ubuntu.com/465232/01:19
penguin42Iraqi: That polkitd segfault is very unusual01:20
Iraqisame a hard action terminal on comman gmesg with freeze is going on treminal after freeze stop01:20
Iraqimean?01:20
Iraqicommand dmesg*01:21
penguin42sorry, I don't understand that01:21
Iraqiforget it, what you mean it?01:21
IraqiThat polkitd segfault is very unusual?01:21
Iraqi<<01:21
penguin42it should not happen, I don't know if that is the cause of your problem, but it shouldn't happen01:22
Iraqiwhat this must be not happen?01:22
Iraqigive me command line to kill it...01:23
Iraqipenguin42  ??? it can fix or i go?01:26
penguin42I don't know the fix for the polkit error, and I can't tell if it is the reason for your stalls01:27
Iraqithanks... better back to windows 7 and unstall ubuntu :)01:28
Iraqithanks again penguin42 for your time :)01:29
Iraqibye bye01:29
* penguin42 goes to bed01:30
stanley_robertsohi all03:29
xxiao_i believe on 10.04 'ls' command has memory leak04:34
xxiao_used valgrind and did some tests with it04:34
xxiao_on debian it's fine, if you keep running 'ls' you will see it04:35
micahgxxiao_: it's basically the same as karmic04:35
xxiao_i know04:36
micahgxxiao_: feel free to file a bug against coreutils04:36
xxiao_valgrind reports 120 bytes leak, i then did a while : do ls04:36
xxiao_after half hour i saw quite some leaks accumulating04:36
xxiao_filing it now04:37
kermiacvish: ok, I have emailed both of the students. Hopefully they will respond & we can start rocking. Thanks mate :)04:45
xxiao_done filing, thanks04:45

drew212micahg: you around?08:16
drew212or ddecator?08:16
micahgdrew212: yes08:17
drew212micahg: bug 606679 looks to me like it **might be ready to triage** the backtrace looks like it's good, but i wouldn't know...08:18
ubot2Launchpad bug 606679 in firefox (Ubuntu) "firefox hangs intermittently for no apparent reason. (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/60667908:18
drew212importance would be medium: has a moderate impact on a core application08:19
micahgdrew212: backtrace has no symbols08:19
drew212=(, and i thought i was doing so good...08:19
micahgdrew212: if you see ?? () in the backtrace, it means that the symbols are missing08:19
* drew212 noted08:19
drew212alright, ill get to work =)08:20
micahgdrew212: that would be good for us to find out soon since it's supposed to be released Tuesday08:20
drew212micahg: what is released tuesday?08:21
micahgdrew212: Firefox 3.6.708:21
drew212O_o08:21
drew212micahg: what symbols does he need, and how do i know?08:22
* drew212 is very scared of backtrace tools, they're not user friendly at all08:22
micahgdrew212: firefox-dbg08:23
micahgor firefox-dbgsym if the ddeb repos are installed08:23
micahgdrew212: scratch that08:23
drew212and how does he install that? sudo apt-get intall firefox-dbg?08:23
micahgdrew212: firefox-dbg will be fine08:23
micahgdrew212: yes08:23
drew212micahg: how the hell do you know all this08:23
* drew212 looks frustrated (lol)08:23
micahgdrew212: I've been doing this for almost a year now08:24
micahgdrew212: over a year with bugs08:24
drew212micahg: is there an all inclusive set of debugging symobls (possibly a dumb question) i don't want to have to worry about every installing any of them or having to find them if i need them for a different program again =P08:26
micahgdrew212: unfortunately not, apport can install that for you though08:26
drew212micahg: what if its not a crash?08:26
micahgdrew212: well, the symbols help for any backtrace, not just crashes08:27
drew212micahg: i guess what i'm getting at is, how do i know what symbols need to be installed for a certain package? I find when I'm debugging alot i come up to roadblocks, things arent clearly explained anywhere =P08:28
micahgdrew212: well, find the files with ?? () in your backtrace, then install the dbgsym package for them, if it's in a PPA, you'll need the -dbg package for the whole source08:29
drew212micahg: would i need to find the symobols for each file? =X08:30
micahgdrew212: yeah, unless you just install the symbols for all the depends08:30
drew212and how would you suggest i search for the files in launchpad? when i google the file name it shows a bunch of bugs =P08:31
micahgdrew212: not launchpad, install apt-file08:31
drew212micahg: you lost me, sorry =X08:32
micahgdrew212: if you're searching for files, apt-file is the easiest way for your release08:32
drew212ok...08:32
drew212how do i use it?08:33
micahgdrew212: man apt-file :)08:33
drew212micahg: next ?, where/how do i install it? =P08:33
micahgdrew212: it's a package :)08:34
drew212micahg: damnit you're making me work for it on purpose!08:34
drew212micahg: ok, well i got it to spew a bunch of useless gibberish =D08:38
maxwelliandrew212: FYI, this probably won't confuse the reporter, but in your comment you instructed them to run 'Sudo apt-get...', with a capital 'S' on sudo.08:40
drew212maxwellian: whoops! lol08:41
maxwelliandrew212: Like I said, if they're comfortable enough to be running killall in the terminal they'll probably catch it themselves.08:41
drew212maxwellian: its a habbit to capitalize things at the start of a quote =X08:41
maxwelliandrew212: Nevertheless, you might save some time by posting the correction.08:42
drew212true08:42
drew212maxwellian: corrected08:44
drew212micahg: is it bad if i need a man page for a man page =X, apt-file still has me lost on how to get usefull information08:44
micahgdrew212: did you read it?08:45
drew212yeah, but it might as well be written in German...08:45
drew212micahg: terminal commands don't scare me, but idk how to come up with my own usefull commands unless its strikingly easy or similar to another one... i feel helpless here =X08:46
* micahg thought the man page was pretty clear08:46
micahg Some actions are required to run the search:08:47
micahg update Resynchronize the package contents from their sources.08:47
micahgdrew212: try apt-file -h08:47
drew212micahg: i guess i don't know what to do with the output it gives me... it would be easier if i could just search for launchpad where the files are located... then i could find how it ranks heroically and then download the dbg symbols for the whole package... and also see if any additional files i need symbols for are located in that package...08:50
micahgdrew212: it's package: /path/to/file08:51
micahgdrew212: you can also do a search on packages.ubuntu.com, but it's not always up to date08:52
drew212micahg: i get it! but its going to take some time to actually be able to use it usefully08:53
micahgdrew212: ?08:53
micahgdrew212: apt-file update08:53
micahgdrew212: apt-file search /path/to/file or filename08:53
drew212micahg: the computer is great, the user, not so much =P08:53
drew212its already updated i mean08:54
maxwelliandrew212: Since I've never done what you're trying to do, would you mind explaining...what you're trying to do? :P  You already have the debugging symbols for mutt, so what now?08:54
drew212maxwellian: say i'm debugging a package, pidgin for instance, and someone gives me a backtrace with no symbols...08:54
* maxwellian nods08:55
drew212and he has several files listed, say X1, X2, X3, X408:55
maxwelliandrew212: Files?  As in libraries?08:55
drew212i want to find out what debugging symobls i need for those files...08:55
drew212maxwellian: idk, i'm pretty new to the linux scene so sure? *worried look*08:56
drew212say x1, x2, and x3, require debugging_symobls108:56
drew212and x4 requires debugging_symobls2 and x5 requires debugging_symbols308:57
drew212i want to figure out how i can find that out... and quickly cross reference, without having to look up each file individually08:57
drew212not to mention the problem of figuring out what dbg symobls they need in the first place...08:58
micahgdrew212: that's what everyone has to do unless they know what package the file is in08:58
drew212micahg: i wish i knew how to program better, and in python, so i could make a program do the work for me...08:59
maxwelliandrew212: Yes, I was going to suggest that. :P08:59
drew212programmers are hella lazy if you didn't know =P08:59
micahgdrew212: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingWithApportRetrace08:59
drew212micahg: sweet =)09:00
drew212thats definetly going onto on of my top things i need to read09:00
drew212micahg: thanks again for helping my with all my stupid questions =P09:09
micahgdrew212: no stupid questions here :)09:09
drew212micahg: I worry that people get frustrated, cuz i get *really* frustrated with myself when i cant figure it out =X09:10
drew212micahg: so when i find a library that needs debuging symobls, and i use apt-file i use the package found before the colon, and then add -dbg to the end of it to get the correct debugging symbols?09:11
micahgdrew212: well, no, -dbg are for source packages09:12
drew212i wish there was a program i was having a problem with so i could actually try things hands on instead of doing everything theoretically in my head =X09:12
micahgdrew212: if you add the ddeb repos, you can install the -dbgsym package for it if it's from the archive09:12
maxwelliandrew212: The first sentence in the Introduction on the page micahg linked says that all the examples were created by forcing the crash using the kill tool.09:13
maxwelliandrew212: So you might be able to do the same thing.09:14
drew212maxwellian: O_o thanks!09:14
drew212micahg: to make life easy on me, would it be easiest to get a crash report from someone experiencing a program hang and having them killall the program just to get a backtrace?09:15
micahgdrew212: no, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace09:16
drew212well, my head is spinning, and i need to get to bed, thanks for all the help micahg and maxwellian09:20
micahgdrew212: night09:21
maxwelliandrew212: Sure.  You are clearly a little in over your head, but keep at it. ;)09:21
drew212maxwellian: definetly in over my head =P, but i don't know how to get deeper, other than just dive in!09:22
maxwelliandrew212: Yup.  Good luck, thanks for helping out where you can. :)09:22
micahgdrew212: yep, that and asking questions09:22
maxwellianmicahg: For my own education, according to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash, -dbg and -dbgsym are equivalent.  What were you saying about source packages?09:26
micahgmaxwellian: -dbg is for the source package -dbgsym is for the binary package09:27
maxwellianmicahg: I don't understand.  The symbols are already in the source code, they are only lost in compilation.  Why would you need symbols for a source package?09:31
micahgmaxwellian: it provides symbols for all the bianries09:31
micahg*binaries09:31
maxwellianmicahg: Sorry, I'm still pretty new...are you saying there are binaries in source packages?09:32
micahgmaxwellian: 1 source can produce multiple binaries09:32
micahgso the -dbg package can have symbols for all of them09:32
micahgactually, that's werid...09:33
micahgnot always the case09:33
maxwellianmicahg: ?09:33
micahgmaxwellian: well, you can have a -dbg for each binary as well09:33
maxwellianmicahg: So...they are equivalent, as stated on the wiki page?09:35
maxwellianmicahg: Assuming I'm reading it correctly...not at all certain. ;)09:36
micahgyes09:36
maxwellianmicahg: Okay, I guess that makes sense.  Weird that they would be named differently.  Thanks!09:37

mantiena-baltixIt seems there are some problems with Ubuntu 10.04.1 daily builds - there are no new daily-live images since yesterday, see http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lucid/daily-live/15:13

mantiena-baltixyofel: thanks15:15
mantiena-baltixyofel: I told about this issue in #ubuntu-testing, but got no answer :(15:18
mantiena-baltixMaybe someone can tell me where I should report issue about missing lucid daily-live cdimages?15:19
penguin42mantiena-baltix: I'd give it another day or 2 - it's quite possible something broke, and I'm sure there is someone who owns that stuff and will spot it, if it doesn't fix itself after a day or two then I'd report it15:28
