greg-gSarvatt: put simply: I had an output problem with the package in the PPA14:51
Sarvattgreg-g: did you upgrade to everything in that PPA or did you just force intel to upgrade? the libdrm packages were required too, just want to be sure14:51
Sarvattgreg-g: hmm, so the freeze went away but you got a new problem?14:52
greg-gSarvatt: well, not sure about the freeze, didn't leave it installed long enough :) and dangit, no, I didn't upgrade the libdrm :/14:53
greg-gI'll do that during lunch, I'm a little behind right now at work :)14:53

greg-goh, nice, didn't know that14:54
greg-gthat's handy14:54
Sarvattit's very possible you do get that new regression with the packages in there, the actual fix for what I believe your bug is is a minor change and that's a backport of the natty versions which have a huge amount of changes. I'll try backporting just the fix now14:55
* greg-g obviously didn't read the full description on the PPA page :/14:55
greg-gSarvatt: I went ahead and took the time to upgrade everything in that PPA and restart, same issue15:01
greg-gI took a photo if you want to see it. The screenshot I took this time didn't show the issue.15:02
Sarvattgreg-g: ok thanks, will have a new package for you to try in a bit15:02

hyperairand compiz is self-compiled15:42
hyperairthere's a nice build_compiz++ script done by soreau15:43
hyperairand it stops beeping annoyingly after two rounds of hacking it15:43
Sarvattyeah I used that script for a long time on maverick15:46
hyperairah15:46
hyperairSarvatt: so anyway, i think everything's using maverick xorg-edgers15:47
hyperairSarvatt: and this particular hang happens when closing seahorse's password prompt15:47
hyperairi.e. pressing enter with a valid password15:48
Sarvatthmm15:48
Sarvatthyperair: have you checked for anything in ~/.xsession-errors when it happens?15:51
hyperairSarvatt: nay.15:51
hyperairSarvatt: i could check the next time15:51
hyperairi don't think compiz logs things into .xsession-errors though15:52
Sarvattwas thinking about seahorse spewing an error there15:54

Sarvatthyperair: maverick->natty will be screwed up if you dont disable edgers btw, I stopped updating a lot of things in natty because the PPA was getting too crazy. lucid->maverick has pretty much the same thing in both so its ok17:11
hyperairSarvatt: hmm what do you mean PPA getting too crazy?17:11
Sarvattlike 200 packages17:12
Sarvattstuff in experimental is really up to date now and we synced it all so dont need git for a lot of those17:13
Sarvattdarnit, I *know* I've seen an bug report about the twinview regression in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/680811 somewhere but can't find it17:16
Sarvattits probably working as intended now and wasnt before :)17:21
* Sarvatt digs for the documentation on twinview17:23
Sarvattlooks like its working as intended to me, twinview makes multiple displays appear as a single screen to X so maximize would maximize to both screens..17:29
Sarvatt"When TwinView is enabled, the NVIDIA driver provides its own version of the Xinerama extension to inform window managers of where the TwinView display devices are. Without that information, window managers would only know about the size of the entire combined desktop. Some window managers ignore this information and treat the screen as one big desktop anyway. It sounds like the version of Compiz you have is one such window manager." hmm17:30
jcristaumaximize is a wm op17:31
jcristauif the wm is xinerama-aware, it should do the right thing on twinview, like it does on randr17:31

brycehSarvatt, on 685017 do you see any crash related evidence?  It's looking bare to me18:59
Sarvattnope, I just know from personal experience that's a problem, ran into that the first time back in jaunty19:00
brycehSarvatt, think it's really an -nvidia bug, or dkms?19:01
Sarvattmaybe it shouldn't be offered if there isn't enough space, but i'm not sure where that could be detected. thats why I was saying maybe we could move them all to another package19:02
Sarvattmaybe wishlist on jockey?19:02
SarvattI bet I could punt at least 50 bugs to that bug if we did that19:02
brycehah, it's an insufficient space problem?19:02

brycehor it could indicate that installing the driver on the livecd just won't work19:10
Sarvattsomething like a warning that a minimum of XGB free space is needed if launched on a livecd would be nice19:11
Sarvattthe loopback stuff on the livecd is odd, 500mb free space advertised isn't enough to install the packages needed for nvidia-current build it and rebuild the initrd and all that19:12
Sarvatt500MB is more than enough I mean but the way it works doesn't let it work, it duplicates stuff on the persistent storage drive and needs a ton more space19:14

Sarvatt15 more under that19:16
Sarvattbryceh: yeah that sounds like  a plan19:17
Sarvattit's almost like it duplicates any space used between the ram drive and the persistent storage device if you have one so things take 2x the space19:18

Sarvatt(thats whats needed for master)21:32
Sarvatt16-xaa-fbcomposite-fix-negative-size.diff: obsolete more like it, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=6118346d64e3c2fbe1fe2f041ea773dd2a3c043821:37
Sarvattcnd: how do you want to do all the input stuff in there?21:38
Sarvattor do you want to do it separate to start?21:42
Sarvattlike i'll just get everything built and ya can use that as a base for the patches and we can move it over once its worked out, or we could do separate git branches for all this somewhere21:43
Sarvattbjsnider: where do you see the changelog at?21:51
Sarvattoh sorry missed that ya thought the .21 one was .2621:52
bjsnideri still can't find a changelog for 26, which makes me a bit nervous21:53
Sarvattonly problem I've had with it was glxgears causing the NVRM error and a 30 second or so freeze, happened one time in the past week21:54
bjsniderwhat if it's supposed to say "transmitted all data to the government for archiving"?21:54
bjsnideror "added spambot rootkit"21:56
jcristaubjsnider: they're already doing that, they just don't say it in the changelog21:57
Sarvattyeah I assume that kinda crap from any blob :)21:57
brycehSarvatt, for bug #685017 did you think that was  a dupe of 686145 ?22:16
ubot4Launchpad bug 685017 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu Natty) (and 3 other projects) "Jockey should warn on insufficient disk space in LiveCD environment, else get error "package nvidia-current 260.19.21-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1" (affects: 5) (dups: 4) (heat: 36)" [Critical,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/68501722:17
Sarvattbryceh: nah, 685017 is still valid, what's happening is the postinst scripts cant run because of a filesystem error somewhere making it think it has no space22:20
brycehSarvatt, would the make.log have relevant details?22:20
brycehor would it be in a dpkg log of some sort?22:21
SarvattI described it as best as I could in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/686147 still unsure where to find the actual bug on the natty livecd22:22
ubot4Launchpad bug 686147 in nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) "package nvidia-current 260.19.21-0ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]22:22
Sarvattit wasnt in any of my logs22:22
Sarvatti got the info manually installing nvidia-current22:22

Sarvatti can't find that error in any of the logs22:24
brycehok22:24
Sarvatton my own system where I got the problem, looked through /var/log/22:24
SarvattI mean there is still the problem where it errors out because of insufficient space, but there's another bug most likely in the kernel on the natty livecd causing it to trigger every time22:29
brycehew22:30
brycehok thanks, updating bug report22:30
RAOFThat's pretty hostile error reporting!22:30
Azelphurbryceh did you get my backtrace earlier?22:31
brycehheya RAOF22:31
Azelphurbryceh http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3832397/misc/gdb-Xorg.txt.tar.gz same bug as yesterday with X crashing in arecord, this time I have debug symbols, I was also on the -proposed repo22:31
brycehAzelphur, not that I recall22:31
brycehAzelphur, ah, ok busy with this other bug at the moment, I'll look in a bit22:32
Sarvattbryceh: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bugs?start=15022:34
Sarvattthose are the same bug, both nvidia-current and initramfs-tools fail the same way on the natty livecd here22:34
brycehSarvatt, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/562312/comments/722:35

Sarvatt\o/22:35
Sarvattyay, progress22:36
brycehalright, enough on that bug for now... left the OR with a couple tasks... will check back later22:36
Sarvattwhat a maze, so usb-creator-gtk needs a bug to make it leave free space now22:38
* Sarvatt gives up for now and has dinner too22:39
brycehSarvatt, ??22:39
brycehSarvatt, reference?22:39
Sarvattyou just linked it!22:39
brycehoh22:39
brycehI thought you meant, "We are required to file bugs to request additional disk space be provided"22:39
Sarvattthe disk creator is using all of the free space for the persistent storage if you slide it all the way and it needs space on the actual fat32 filesystem to store the kernel to do upgrades22:39
brycehah22:41
Sarvatti know I always just max out the slider every time22:42
brycehAzelphur, btw it'd be helpful in the future if you post logs without compressing them... then I have to download and manually unzip and stuff22:43
brycehAzelphur, also, what is your bug report #?22:43
Azelphurbryceh don't have one yet, I wasn't sure it was a bug22:44
Azelphurbryceh I compressed it because it's big, it's like 20MB22:44
AzelphurI guess I should get a report up for it22:45
bryceh#12 is the same call as #7, so #7 -> #12 is an infinite loop22:46
brycehAzelphur, file it with ubuntu-bug.  If possible, repro the issue, reboot, and then file22:46
brycehthat way it'll include some stuff like Xorg.0.log.log from the failure22:47
brycehnot a big deal if that's inconvenient, I think this trace has the info needed to troubleshoot22:47
Azelphurbryceh will do, fyi there's nothing at all in Xorg.*, I figure it crashes before the writing to log happens22:47
brycehI think you're right22:47
brycehmy guess is that it gets stuck in a loop, fills some sort of crash handler buffer and then the crash handler crashes, or something analogous to that22:48
brycehAzelphur, also when you file the bug report, be verbose in explaining steps to reproduce the problem, please22:49
Azelphurit happens completely at random unfortunately22:49
AzelphurI've seen it happen on multiple occasions with nobody anywhere near any input devices22:49
brycehAzelphur, then explain in detail how you set up the machine22:50
Azelphurwill do :)22:50
brycehi.e. you need to explain why the record extension is turned on, and what is requiring it22:50
Azelphurthat'd be x11vnc I guess22:50
brycehAzelphur, think of it like a high school chemistry experiment, where randomly the solution turns blue...  explain how you set things up, what things you poured in, how hot you made the bunsen burner, etc. ;-)22:51
Azelphuryup :)22:51
brycehbtw, never use the word "random" in a bug report, it just means you didn't think about things enough ;-)22:52
Azelphurgood tip :)22:52
RAOFIt is possible to have bugs with random (or, rather hidden) triggers, but they're few and far between. :)22:53
Azelphuralthough this happens all by itself, as I say it'll happen when nobody has had any interaction with the machine for the past 30 minutes with nobody anywhere near any input devices22:53
brycehhmm, poking through the source code it's not totally obvious what's going on here22:55
brycehbut I still think the record extension is listening to events that it's generating from its listens22:55
brycehAzelphur, that can be a strong clue too22:56
brycehfor example...22:56
brycehif it *always* happens when no one is near it, then that suggests maybe looking at screensaver or power saving relationships22:57
Azelphurnope, it happens when people are using it too, and there's no screensaver :)22:57
Azelphur(this is a Ubuntu machine powering the TV in the front room, MythTV \o/)22:57
brycehcron jobs?22:57
brycehmythtv starting recording something, or starting process to remove commercials or something?22:58
AzelphurI have a couple, but none of them do anything with X. But I guess it could somehow have effect22:58
Azelphurmaybe22:58
brycehrunning low on memory?22:58
Azelphurnah always got plenty of memory, 2GB total 1.5GB in cache22:59
brycehlike raof said, there *are* some bugs which have truly random triggers, but the fact that this is occurring within a callback tree strongly suggests to me that there is *some* process that triggers it22:59
Azelphuryea22:59
AzelphurI'll start logging times and see if I can come up with anything.23:00
brycehAzelphur, great, yeah look for any patterns at all for when it occurs or does not occur, even wacky things23:00
brycehonce there was a bug (not against X) which broke the printer driver, which only occurred on Thursdays23:02
brycehso every week bunches of people would report "me too!" then the next day on Friday everyone would chime in "Oh, it's fixed now"... only until the next week23:02
RAOFThat's totally awesome :)23:03
Azelphurhaha23:04
Azelphurbryceh not as weird as my weirdest bug report, My best one was "Using volume control on keyboard changes gnome theme"23:04
brycehlol23:04
Azelphurand it actually got fixed too, it was a bug.23:04
Azelphur(not on the computer we're debugging) I use separate X screens, and it was causing the OSD for the volume control to flip out, so gnome-settings-daemon crashed, which caused the gnome theme to change \o/23:05
RAOFYeah.  That was my guess as to the cause :)23:05
brycehheh23:05
cndbryceh: I hope you're feeling better than me23:28
cndI think I've come down with a cold...23:28
brycehcnd, uh oh...  I'm fine myself23:29
* bryceh breaks out the echinecea23:29
cndheh23:29
cndfeels like just a head cold, for what it's worth :)23:30
brycehcnd, bummer :-/23:32
brycehno biggie if I get it, but hopefully ogasawara escapes it23:32
cndyeah23:33
brycehcnd, air travel is hazardous to your health23:46
cndheh, the hazards of working at Canonical...23:47
cndeven though this trip wasn't for Canonical :)23:47
Sarvattdang, sprint is only a month away already23:47
Sarvattwe get to get felt up at the airport 6 times a year :)23:48
cndbryceh: angela liked the program today23:48
cndthey give you $50 for every 30 days you bike to work :)23:48
cndit's at the top of her list so far23:49
cndbryceh, RAOF: btw, I've got a patch against maverick xserver and evdev cooking to fix crashes during gestures23:51
cndso that's your heads up :)23:51
RAOFTa :)23:51
cndRAOF, oh yeah, when I'm on the west coast, our time lines up much better :)23:52
RAOFc'mon xserver.  Build!  Faster!  MUSH!23:52
RAOF:)23:53
