[01:39] crimsun_: as a developer you are member anyway so its redundant === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [02:04] zeroseven0183: you in austin? [02:05] hehe, get it [02:05] (lame i know) long day for me :P [02:07] stlsaint: No. It's just part of my first name [02:07] ;-) === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [02:47] Someone on #ubuntu thinks I've found a bug that has to do with the latest kernel that may be causing the boot process to fail. [02:47] He directed me here. [02:53] TheMusicGuy: could you give a short overview over your issue? [02:55] I just upgraded to the latest kernel. When I went to restart, I booted as usual, but during the boot process I got an error message that said the system had given up waiting for the root device, then it sent me to an (intramfs) prompt. No drives were mounted. [02:55] I'm trying to find a way to get the exact text of the error. [02:55] It isn't dumped to /var/log/messages because it occurs before the root filesystem is even mounted. [02:57] you could take a photo of the screen when it happens. I have to go to bed so can't help you anymore, if nobody else can give you any advice, file a bug with 'ubuntu-bug linux' stating the kernel version that's broken and attach the screenshot [02:57] 'dmesg' [02:58] lifeless: that won't help either as that's the current kernel log [02:58] yofel: yes, but in early userspace thats the log to look at [02:58] I tried that from the initramfs prompt, but the error didn't seem to be listed [02:58] TheMusicGuy: there isn't necessarily an error [02:59] well, the message wasn't listed [03:01] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelBoot [03:01] bdmurray: ok, thanks [03:01] may be useful [03:05] I'll be back in a minute with more information. [03:36] Ok, I'm back with slightly more information. [03:37] When the boot process drops into the busybox terminal, the error is that it cannot find the file /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxxxxxxxxx [03:37] where xxxxxxxx is my root device's UUID. [03:37] sure enough, /dev/disk doesn't even exist. === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [03:37] However, /dev/sda6 actually does exist, which is where that UUID points. [03:38] If I change the linux kernel root to "root=/dev/sda6" from the grub boot prompt, I can get the system to start. [03:40] However, there is an unusually long hang after my USB devices are detected. [03:41] This is all after updating to the latest kernel. [03:48] (I mean after upgrading from Linux 2.6.32-22-generic to Linux 2.6.32-24-generic is when this started happening) === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [06:42] hello guys is there any mentors availible === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [07:22] trinikrono_: just ask questions here :) [07:22] hey vish [07:22] o/ [07:22] can you quiz me and see if i am ready to join bugcontrol [07:23] i am wondering how much i need to learn still [07:24] trinikrono_: hmmm, quiz!!!!!!! :) [07:25] trinikrono_: BC is not a huge deal ... you just need to know whats on the wiki , and make sure you set the right importances.. lets see, any bugs you've triaged recently? [07:26] vish: lemme find some good ones [07:26] these days i am only finding x bugs and really old ones [07:27] trinikrono_: right , the X guys are usually around on weekdays.. :) [07:27] on #u-x [07:28] i was thinking to join the x-swat if they play nice with me lol [07:28] trinikrono_: so, you got to wait for them to reply, or ask the appropriate question . :) [07:28] trinikrono_: need not be a swat to triage X bugs. :) [07:29] vish: yes i tend to look for packages to assign [07:29] and most of them end up being x bugs lol [07:29] trinikrono_: right , have you seen their wiki? [07:29] yes [07:29] trinikrono_: how they like the bug titles, etc..? [07:30] i am trying [07:30] trinikrono_: yeah , X triage is not easy. :) but try during weekdays, ask Q there while triaging.. [07:31] okie look at bug 236046 [07:31] Launchpad bug 236046 in checkgmail (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "checkgmail tray background colour cannot be changed (affects: 27) (heat: 148)" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/236046 [07:31] trinikrono_: bug title is [chipset] title [07:31] * vish looks [07:31] yes i try to do that [07:32] i am not sure what to do with the patch though [07:32] building patches looks a little tough right now [07:34] trinikrono_: seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToFix ? [07:34] trinikrono_: there is 'testing the fixes' section [07:35] ah [07:35] i was looking at that just now [07:35] i was reading the patches wikipage before [07:35] trinikrono_: but that is not a requirement for BC though.. [07:35] well i am trying to learn here anyways [07:36] i can show you a xorg bug i am working on [07:36] bug 601441 [07:36] Launchpad bug 601441 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "[i845G] Running Firefox crashes X (affects: 1) (heat: 10)" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/601441 [07:38] trinikrono_: yeah , did you ask the reporter to check with a new firefox profile? [07:38] well it was a xorg bug [07:38] trinikrono: might be one of his extensions.. causing the Xorg crash.. [07:38] those i845g chipset people [07:39] get a lot of trouble in lucid [07:39] really? === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [07:39] trinikrono_: i said might be.. :) [07:39] okie [07:40] because at first it was assigned to firefox [07:40] then they said no [07:40] :D [07:40] trinikrono_: yeah , it need not be a firefox bug , but we need to narrow down whats causing it.. [07:40] so dray told me to start asking people the lspci thing [07:40] to see if it could be x related [07:41] and i found this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes [07:41] so i am afraid to upgrade to lucid lol [07:41] trinikrono_: just ask reporter to do the apport-collect , which should give enough info for the X folk.. [07:41] i still use jaunty [07:42] yes he did it in the report [07:43] heh, apport gone crazy! , it still hasnt marked bug incomplete -> new! [07:43] so i can change it back to new for now [07:43] until the x guys need something else from him? [07:44] wait can this be considered triaged? [07:44] yup.. [07:44] trinikrono_: but i would ask about the firefox profile too, before marking it new :) [07:45] there is a wikipage that has a nice write up for that? [07:45] ? [07:45] to tell the user to create a new profile [07:46] the easiest way to do it , is to shut down firefox, move the .mozilla folder to somewhere else and then open firefox [07:47] :D [07:47] its on the debugging firefox page [07:47] i thought i saw something on that already [07:47] so would you of marked this bug as triaged? [07:47] other than the profile thing [07:47] not yet.. [07:48] trinikrono_: the problem with that bug is, the reporter has switched from ubuntu -> xubuntu , so even if we end up fixing the bug we wont know if we fixed it.. [07:49] but doesnt ubuntu and xubuntu use the same xorg drivers? [07:50] yup.. but reporter claims no problems now.. [07:50] you know i saw something today in a bug report [07:51] trinikrono_: a few things that would help with that bug is : knowing how someone else can trigger the bug [ without knowing how to trigger the bug its difficult to fix] , 2 - knowing if the reporter can test the fix once we upload it [07:51] that sometimes the kernel causes video problems also [07:51] i thought it was just xorg [07:51] trinikrono_: so we need to know if the reporter did clean install or is just using a xubuntu session [07:52] yes he said a he installed xubuntu-desktop [07:52] but what i am studying [07:52] if its a known issue in lucid [07:52] should people continue to keep filing reports about it [07:53] with the intel chipsets [07:54] hmm, wondering if xubuntu uses compiz.. [07:55] hey i just noticed something [07:55] you know the gresse monkey scripts has a response named collect it [07:55] it is not the standard replies wiki page [07:55] yup [07:55] oh? [07:56] can i just add it in [07:56] i am not sure what title to put though [07:58] vish: will you look at it? [07:58] trinikrono_: not sure what you are talking about.. [07:59] this page [07:59] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses [07:59] does not have this [07:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/488619/ [08:00] which is a response in the launchpad firefox extension [08:00] named collect it [08:01] trinikrono: ok.. just add it.. ;) [08:01] if you are wrong we can burn you at the stake ;p [08:02] but it shouldn't mention report a problem as that's gone in the stable release now [08:03] micahg: yeah, i had to locally fix that recently.. [08:03] heh , after commenting it on a bug.. i went doh! [08:04] well once the reporter answers :D [08:04] i get a lot of dead bugs [08:04] micahg: what title do you think i should use [08:04] micahg: does xubuntu use compiz? [08:04] general triage response? [08:07] vish: I think it can [08:08] trinikrono: it should be something like Missing basic package information [08:08] trinikrono: the page actually has it multiple times for topics it actually helps with like kernel, sound, and X [08:09] i was going to put "apport collect" [08:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/488623/ [08:10] i took out the report a problem [08:10] if you guys ok it i will save the changes on the wiki [08:11] trinikrono_: permissions for Launchpad have also changed [08:12] it now has only two options [08:12] o.o [08:12] previously it was a 5-6 options.. now, iirc there is change anything and dont allow access [08:14] so i can leave out from additionally ? [08:14] it still needs that phyton package thing right vish [08:15] dont think so.. [08:15] when i tried from a live cd , i had to do nothing, just had to select the options [08:16] :D [08:16] so the launchpad scripts needs to update then [08:20] here is a nice safe one [08:20] trinikrono_: the live cd was a maverick one.. so not sure about the older versions ;) [08:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/488627/ [08:20] well might only be a issue with hardy just now from the looks of things [08:20] my poor jaunty is going to die next month === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [08:50] hey if someone has a problem with ps/2 mouse crashing the system [08:51] is that a bug in x or the kernel? [08:51] generally speaking [08:51] trinikrono_: generally start at the highest level, so try X first, there should be debugging tips on the X debugging page [08:52] okie thanks micahg === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [08:52] will do === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [12:41] hi , i wanted to know that can we launch apport to report bugs even if the application haven't crashed .How can i report bugs to launchpad using apport which are not crash related? [12:42] well... [12:42] Usage: ubuntu-bug [options] [symptom|pid|package|program path|.apport/.crash file] [12:43] you have a few options to choose from if you want to file a bug about an application, just see 'ubuntu-bug --help [12:43] ++***** [12:43] meh, need to clean my keyboard :/ [12:47] ankur: does that answer your question, or do you need a more specific answer? [12:47] yofel, thanks for your help , i was just checking the option [12:47] :) [12:48] now , when i tried using it for reporting bug for sugar-emulator-0.88 , it said it is not a genuine Ubuntu package . any pointers? [12:49] ankur: can you pastebin the output of 'apt-cache policy sugar-emulator-0.88' please? [12:49] just a second :) [12:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/488719/ [12:51] yofel, ^^ [12:53] right, we don't support filing bugs about ppa packages at bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/ - does the sugar team have a seperate project for bug tracking? [12:56] yofel, getting back to you , just checking somethings [12:56] :) [12:56] sure [14:23] trying to work out the stacktrace for bug 564773... it doesn't look like the source code lines in the stacktrace sync with the source! [14:23] Launchpad bug 564773 in nautilus (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "nautilus crashed with SIGSEGV in gtk_viewport_set_hadjustment() (affects: 1) (heat: 26)" [Medium,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/564773 [14:26] how do you mean? [14:28] so when I look at the stacktrace that apport-retrace has done (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/44444112/Stacktrace.txt) then the last line points to /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.20.0/gtk/gtktextbufferserialize.c:95 [14:29] in the function start_element_handler [14:29] I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but when I look at the source for that file, that line is actually in deserialize_value ! [14:30] is it the same version? [14:30] should be... let me recheck [14:30] hold on... off by .1 [14:30] it's gtk+2.0-2.220.1 [14:31] tbsdy_lives: Having said that, you could be seeing the result of some compiler inlining/optimisation [14:32] ah... but would that cause the line-numbers to be off? [14:33] it can cause quite a few things, like saying you're in one function when you're actually executing code from another function that was inlined, or the fact that optimisation has shared code between a number of source lines [14:34] ah... in that case, without more info how would one debug that issue? [14:35] tbsdy_lives: It normally gets you to within a few lines of where it happened; doesn't know that bits of Gnome foo [14:35] ic... so you need to go down the stacktrace? [14:36] yeh; I mean if you look at that stack trace, without understanding what start_element_handler is supposed to do I'd guess element_name is supposed to be a string that makes sense but it's shown as "\017" [14:37] \0 - null ? [14:38] \0 is null, but \017 is 15 decimal which is most liekly just junk [14:39] not good... [14:40] so that says it's likely not start_element_handler's fault, but where it was called from - but how far back the bad data came from is I guess difficult to tell - and it's a shame the tracer hasn't maanaged to find more from libgobject [14:48] * penguin42 grrrs as his bug won't trigger with debugging turned on [14:48] bummer [15:26] I want to report a bug I'm having since upgrading - but I don't know what package to assign it to. It's a USB to Ethernet adaptor that worked with Karmic, but is lifless on Lucid. There used to be a document on packages associated with certain problems, but I can't find it. [15:32] jarlath: Sounds like a driver bug and thus report it against linux [15:32] Thanks penguin42, I'll do that.

I suspect that it is not gtk, but Xorg or kernel I will follow up with #ubuntu-x === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK === Guest53292 is now known as nhandler [21:32] yofel, there does not seem to be anybofy in #ubuntu-x. Thanks for your help. I will add the file info to the bug report. [21:32] intrader: there are people there, if they're online or not is another question though ;) [21:33] and I'm out too, battery empty [21:36] yofel, I understand, thanks - when you come back! [21:48] If I don't have a package identified, how can I use ubuntu-bug to file a bug report? [21:52] If you don't have a package chosen, I don't think you can use ubuntu-bug. [21:52] However, [21:52] You could use https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug?no-redirect [21:54] bRoas Noites [21:55] Muscovy, thanks that is great. I will go there [21:56] Using ubuntu-bug is recommended for when you do have a package, however. === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [22:17] All, I have reported a bug #632230. Thanks for your help. I hope the ubuntu triage kicks in favorably. [22:17] intrader: Error: Bug #632230 not found. [22:18] All, sorry its is #631130 [22:19] ubot2, that was way fast to find the bug report missing, how did you do that? [22:19] intrader: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [22:20] intrader: There's how. ;D [22:20] All, how do I write bots for this list? [22:20] No idea. [22:20] ;D [22:21] You can request them for your channel though. [22:21] Muscovy, what is ';D'? [22:22] A face. [22:22] Muscovy, no way ... :) [22:29] intrader: can you assign you bug to the right package? [22:30] intrader: you could assign it to either kernel or X yourself and it would get reassigned by developers [22:34] kklimonda, I have tried several ways to identify the package, The bug report #631130 had been filed [22:34] bug 631130 [22:34] Launchpad bug 631130 in ubuntu "In all apps, slow UI since 10.04 install (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/631130 [22:35] yofel, that is it (with the aid of the bot - I have no idea how you all do it) [22:35] intrader: 'bug ubot2 will react to it [22:35] yofel: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:36] *that* I know XD [22:36] intrader: nvidia 96 I think is known to have issues with KMS [22:36] micahg, I have the same problems without it. Also without compiz [22:38] micahg, what is KMS. You guys are way over my head! and what face is ;D ? [22:38] intrader: kernel mode support [22:39] AFAIK, nvidia 96 is not in maverick now [22:40] charlie-tca: yes it is [22:40] !info nvidia-96 maverick [22:40] !info nvidia-96 maverick [22:40] It is not coming up here in hardware drivers, and my nvidia would like to have it [22:40] afaik doesn't work though. (doesn't support xserver 1.9 yet I think) [22:41] charlie-tca: it was disabled I think [22:41] yea, that could be [22:41] That is probably right [22:41] micahg, I have disabled and enabled it for testing purposes [22:42] yofel, what version of Xorg - how do I find out? [22:42] lucid uses xserver 1.7 [22:42] !info xserver-xorg-core lucid [22:43] ubot2: info xserver-xorg-core lucid [22:43] yofel: xserver-xorg-core (source: xorg-server): Xorg X server - core server. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.2 (lucid), package size 2352 kB, installed size 4468 kB [22:43] yofel: xserver-xorg-core (source: xorg-server): Xorg X server - core server. In component main, is optional. Version 2:1.7.6-2ubuntu7.2 (lucid), package size 2352 kB, installed size 4468 kB === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [22:43] ubot2: info nvidia-96 maverick [22:43] yofel: An error has occurred and has been logged. Please contact this bot's administrator for more information. [22:43] o.O [22:44] heh, broke it. [22:44] jpds: ^ [22:44] yofel, what is all this? gurus breaking things? [22:44] intrader: something like that, yeah ... [22:44] intrader: keeps new people from breaking things. [22:46] charlie-tca, yofel how dictatorial is that? [22:46] I show nvidia-96 version 96.43.18-0ubuntu1 listed in synaptic [22:46] intrader: not dictatorial, just keeps us from being surprised when someone else breaks it [22:47] yofel: for maverick, that is [22:47] right [22:48] yofel, charlie-tca: by the way the driver I running is nvidia-96. As I noted, I have the same problems with driver removed. [22:49] intrader: removed as in: removed an rebooted? (just making sure) [22:49] *and [22:50] yofel, removed and rebooted [22:50] ok [22:51] yofel, charlie-tca, do either of you know what changes regardin UI behavior went into the latest kernel? I have same problems with Suse, Fedora, etc. [22:52] I do not [22:52] define 'latest' - latest would be 2.6.35 (maverick) for me [22:53] and no, I'm really not an expert on graphics performance [22:53] yofel, you are way ahead of the one used by lucid I suppose. How do I find out which version I am runing? [22:54] lucid-updates has linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic, so you should be using that [22:56] yofel, how do I find out what my lucid is running? === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [22:58] intrader: open a terminal and type "uname -a" without quotes === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT [23:00] charlie-tca, yofel, it confirms 2.6.32-24-generic. Thanks - but why 'uname', why not 'version'? [23:00] because uname works, version doesn't [23:00] heh [23:00] :) [23:00] uname is to get the kernel version [23:00] version could be the version of anything installed or uninstalled [23:01] charlie-tca, as if the 'u' in uname meant anything. Unix... [23:02] app names don't necessarily need to make sense, if you find out what app 'baobab' is in less than a minute I'll give you a cookie :P [23:02] I don't know. I do know linux is much more open about letting you find anything about anything, than Windows is in telling you anything [23:03] disk usage analyzer (according to google) [23:03] you actually made it, have a cookie :D [23:03] yofel, Google did it! [23:04] and then there is "apropos" [23:04] charlie-tca, Windows tries to do security by obscurity. [23:05] It tries to do everything by obscurity, not just security [23:05] if you blur the subject enough, people will accept it [23:05] It is kind of like cellphones. How many people on the street know what "3G" is/ [23:06] Maybe some spyware. [23:06] They know the letters mean cellphone reception, but it is really important to have "3G", right? [23:06] charlie-tca, by now everybody, what will be next after 4G? [23:07] What difference does it make what they call it, as long as you are convinced it is important [23:07] sure, at least 3G looks better on my cell phone than the antenna symbol :P (then again, I can live very well without UMTS) [23:08] yofel, now you are trying to 'outshine' UMTS... [23:09] heh [23:09] They could call it "goofy" and it would be just as important and necessary in peoples minds [23:09] yofel, charlie-tca you guys are fun! === rackIT is now known as rackIT_AFK [23:10] Just saying, the name means little, the results count [23:15] yofel, charlie-tca just to show you one annoying problem - click on #ubuntu, let it hover too long, get hand with icon facsimile of the xchat left column; wont' quit. [23:17] yofel, charlie-tca not until I hit esc a few times, then the darn icon flies away. GARBAGE! [23:18] easy workaround: Don't do that [23:18] Are you using xchat or xchat-gnome? [23:19] Is that the only channel it does that with? [23:21] I can't seem to make it do that [23:22] charlie-tca, you are kidding me, --- all apps do the same thing. Started as noted with install of 9.10, then carried back to 9.04, and now 10.04 [23:22] Must be xchat-gnome ? [23:23] charlie-tca, I have the same problem with mbbits, or google lists, [23:23] weird [23:24] Tried a different mouse? [23:25] charlie-tca, like if I hoover over 'Applications' I can make it happen, with or trackpoint of touchpad, same thing, with usb, same thing [23:25] Mine stays an arrow (pointer) until clicked [23:26] charlie-tca, what I suspect, some change in 9.10 was carried forward to 10.04, then back updated to 9.04 [23:26] possible [23:53] if any canonical staff are monitoring this channel, please contact the webmaster of ubuntu.com and have them fix the 404 http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid [23:54] maple_leaf: how did you get there? [23:55] can't find that link on http://www.ubuntu.com/support [23:55] yofel: System > Help and Support. Click "commercial technical support" [23:56] that's a bug in the help documentation then, not the website [23:56] I think it's packaged as gnome-user-guide [23:56] but it could be easily fixed with a 301 on the site === rackIT_AFK is now known as rackIT
