penguin42what's the story on what is allowed to ptrace and what isn't ? Is there some mechanism for debug tools to turn ptrace on for a backtrace or is it always off unless I manually wiggle the sysconf value00:12
yofelwell, there is a mechanism, but apachelogger just filed bug 609597 as it still doesn't work right in KDE :/00:14
ubot2`Launchpad bug 609597 in linux (Ubuntu) "Cannot PTRACE (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/60959700:14
yofelthere is a sysctl value if you want to turn ptrace_scope off in general00:14
penguin42yofel: Yeh that's the one I noticed actually; but why is it assigned to Linux?00:15
yofelbecause the code that checks if ptrace is allowed to access the memory is part of the kernel00:15
yofelbug 603716 was the last one00:16

* penguin42 is curious about how it's controlled00:20
penguin42I cant' see anything in the lkml patch that does anything other than make it switchable in proc00:24
penguin42oh I guess maybe they could give the programs CAP_SYS_PTRACE00:27
yofelpenguin42: there was https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-June/030939.html00:31
penguin42thanks00:34

om26erSwedeMike, the bug you linked says the problem is fixed with lucid updates. you should report a new bug10:16

SwedeMikeom26er: "2010-05-13 22:13 /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1.12.854" so it does seem like I have the new openal10:23

JoeMaverickSettsometimes an application crashes and apport tries to collect information about the crash, but then it says this *** application is not a genuine package, what should i do then to report the bug?17:16
njinmicahg: around ?17:31
yofelJoeMaverickSett: the package has to be from the official ubuntu archive if you want to report a crash, we don't support 3rd party or ppa packages17:33
njinyofel. can you help me ?17:33
yofelabout?17:34
JoeMaverickSettyofel, so if i keep updating certain packages from ppa(s), does that mean that i would not be able to report?17:34
njinyofel: in Places-computer i've the icon of floppy0, but my system haven't any floppy, at wich package assign the bug ?17:35
JoeMaverickSettyofel, the updates should come from ubuntu update itself?17:35
yofelJoeMaverickSett: we only support the application version in the ubuntu archive, if you're using an updated version then you can't report a crash with apport, since we don't support that17:36
yofelyou can certainly use apport-unpack or apport-retrace and send the crash report manually do the developers or the ppa owner17:36
yofels/do/to/17:36
JoeMaverickSettyofel, oh! got it. thanks17:37
yofelnjin: as I don't have a floppy entry here in kde, perhaps nautilus? (I don't have a /media/floppy entry here too so maybe that needs to be removed, then it would be something else)17:38
njinyofel: ok, i open a bug against nautilus then. Thanks17:40

JoeMaverickSetti have a case where my laptop hibernate do not work because i did not install the proprietary graphic driver, everytime it will boot up with screen glitches, so i have to restart the kernel, in that case how do i see the results at the time of error?17:53
JoeMaverickSettafter restarting kernel and rebooting the laptop17:54
penguin42JoeMaverickSett: There is normally a /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old from the previous start of X18:22
penguin42JoeMaverickSett: Also I think /var/log/dmesg.0 and boot.0 or possibly just at the top of the current files I think depending on timing18:23
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, if i can get info from there i can file it as a bug?18:23
penguin42JoeMaverickSett: You can file it as a bug with or without that info, but with would be useful18:23
penguin42I'm fairly sure ther e is a page on diganosing hibernate issues18:23
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, it seems that it would be informative if i can show that, right?18:24
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, and one thing is that apport won't even know that issue happened.18:24
penguin42JoeMaverickSett: is this Radeon or Nvidia?18:24
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, Radeon18:24
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, it seems sort of rare a thing like mine happens.18:25
penguin42OK, well I guess it's one of linux or xserver-xorg-video-radeon18:25
penguin42no; hibernate problems are common18:26
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, i mean like screen glitches and all on reboot from hibernation.18:26
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, i might also be wrong.18:26
penguin42no, I don't think it's that unusual - the graphics drivers interoperate with the bios and the boot sequence in a very complex way and often the bioses and graphics drivers and kernel all interact in a broken way18:27
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, and i'm not really sure it should be called a screen glitch, it sort of like all colours are jumbled up.18:28
penguin42JoeMaverickSett: Have you got a camera? Attaching a picture might be reasoanble18:28
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, yup, i'm thinking of doing it.18:29
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, after i've taken the pic and all. might come back here and take help from you guys to file a bug if necessary.18:29
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, might be of use to the community18:30
penguin42JoeMaverickSett: Even better, you might get your bug fixed!18:30
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, yup. hoping it does. coz i think ubuntu works better with the open source graphic driver18:31
JoeMaverickSettpenguin42, even now switching from application with key bindings are a bit laggy with the proprietary driver, that's what i feel18:32

vishboy tough crowd tonite! ;p19:28
charlie-tcayofel: because it may be a useful suggestion. We can gather some opinions on it there19:43
yofelyes, but the wiki page says too19:44
yofelNote: If it is a request to add a feature to a specific program it should be forwarded to the upstream developers instead.19:44
charlie-tcaUbuntu is upstream for it, isn't it?19:44
yofelthat's a feature request for apport-collect, not a general idea to improve ubuntu19:44
charlie-tcaand, it is not a request to add it, it is a report about it being broken19:44
charlie-tcaIt is not broken, it simply is not there19:45
penguin42it would be nice to have stuff like that and reminders on the launchpad bug pages to tell people what to do19:48
yofelsure, but that would be a usability bug in that case19:48
penguin42a usability bug for a missing feature?19:48
yofelpenguin42: well, the reporter thought that -p will add a task for the package, but it doesn't -> usability bug, considering that it never did that I would say it's wishlist, but it's still a but IMO19:49
yofel*still a bug19:49
penguin42yeh19:50
yofeland IMHO brainstorm should only be used for large changes where a lot of users will be affected and discussion is neccessary, here we're only talking about a small feature of apport that not many people know about19:52
charlie-tcaYou are welcome to change it, then19:53
penguin42is it just something which world need changing in apport or would it need a corresponding change in launchpad?19:54
yofelpenguin42: afaik you can already add new tasks by launchpadlib, would have to look check if that's really the case though19:55
penguin42ok, my point is if it would require a change to both then it would require various people to agree, so brainstorm etc is probably useful; but if it's just something that would need changing in apport to clal an existing interface maybe just the bug would do19:56
yofelyep, there is a addTask(...) function19:59

BUGabundocrimsun_: you are back!!!21:58
crimsun_chilicuil: so, a bit of background on why that package doesn't (and shouldn't) have a package assigned: in lucid, there are two packages affecting that symptom _in addition to the specific hardware_: alsa-base and linux-image-2.6.32-foo. One simply can't triage it to affect both source packages (alsa-driver and linux, respectively), because ultimately it's a _hardware_ issue.22:01
crimsun_chilicuil: the good news is that, well, you _can_ triage it to affect linux in ubuntu _maverick_, because we've already fixed it there.c22:02
chilicuilcrimsun_: ok, I got it, I'm gonna remove the package (I've already assigned to alsa-driver, lol), then if it's fixed can I just marked as "fixed released"?22:03
