| TheMuso | psusi: ah ok | 00:18 |
|---|---|---|
| psusi | TheMuso, so umm... what exactly does that patch fix? | 00:26 |
| TheMuso | psusi: I'd have to read the patch again to clearly remember... One of my first changelog entries for parted should explain it. | 00:27 |
| psusi | TheMuso, the description in the changelog says " dmraid.patch: Ensure that device-mapper devices for dmraid arrays do not have extra nodes created needlessly, as well as making sure that partition nodes for dmraid devices are not probed." I can't figure that out. What nodes were being created under what conditions? | 00:38 |
| TheMuso | psusi: At the time, every dmraid device node that was created that parted dealt with, had additional nodes created to represent partitions, I think. This code was written over 3 years ago, so of course things may have changed. I understood why at the time. :) | 00:40 |
| TheMuso | psusi: I guess the best experiment is to take out my patch, play with dmraid stuff and parted, and see what happens. | 00:40 |
| psusi | TheMuso, k.. guess I'll try that... | 01:16 |
| TheMuso | If I continued dmraid related code maintenance, I'm sure I'd still know. I think that a ${node}p1 node was being created for every dmraid related node at the time, including partitino nodes, which is why the patch also stops dmraid partition nodes from beinb probed. | 01:18 |
| TheMuso | Now that I think, it was to do with probing. For some reason parted thought that every dmraid node had a partition table of some kind... beats me why | 01:18 |
| psusi | hrm... now this is weird... gnome-power-manager is running, but doesn't seem to actually be used.. it looks like we use upowerd to suspend, so what the heck is gnome-power-manager doing? | 01:20 |
| RAOF | Display blanking, automated “suspend when low battery” stuff? | 01:25 |
| psusi | RAOF, doesn't appear to be.. looks like upower is doing that these days... which explains bug #578542 | 01:50 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 578542 in gnome-power-manager (Ubuntu) "resuming from S3 wrongly prompts for password" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/578542 | 01:50 |
| psusi | I sent g-p-m a SIGSTOP and clicked suspend on the menu and it worked normally | 01:51 |
| RAOF | psusi: That's orthogonal to what I said. That's neither ‘suspend when battery low’ nor ‘dim screen on inactivity’. :) | 01:53 |
| RAOF | Those are policy decisions rather than implementation methods. | 01:55 |

| psusi | hrm.. can you use dbus-send to manually emit an org.freedesktop.UPower signal? | 02:32 |
| psusi | or better yet, find out what is listening for that signal? | 02:32 |
| RAOF | psusi: I don't think you can track what's listening to the signal. I think dbus-send should be able to fanangle a signal for you, though. | 02:45 |
| psusi | RAOF, I thought so but I can't seem to figure it out... I don't quite understand the arguments it wants, specifically what the difference is between --dest=, <destination object path> and <message name>.. | 02:47 |
| RAOF | Heh. | 02:48 |
| RAOF | Say hello to DBus! | 02:48 |
| RAOF | --dest= is the *interface* that the signal you want to send is from. | 02:48 |
| RAOF | Oooh, actually, no. | 02:49 |
| RAOF | You shouldn't need --dest, because you're not sending it anywhere specific. | 02:49 |
| RAOF | <destination object path> should be the object path of the object you want to raise the signal _on_ | 02:50 |
| RAOF | <message name> should be the signal you want to raise, namely the fully-qualified signal from the interface (org.freedesktop.UPower.$INTERFACE.$SIGNAL) | 02:51 |
| psusi | so org/freedesktop/UPower and org.freedesktop.UPower.Sleeping? | 02:51 |
| psusi | err, what's $INTERFACE? | 02:51 |
| RAOF | Sounds like $INTERFACE is "" | 02:52 |
| RAOF | So you'd want to send org.freedesktop.UPower.Sleeping | 02:52 |
| RAOF | But if UPower had multiple interfaces (o.f.UPower.Bar.Sleeping, o.f.UPower.Baz.Sleeping, for example) you'd stick in the fully qualified thingy. | 02:53 |
| psusi | process 19675: arguments to dbus_message_new_signal() were incorrect, assertion "_dbus_check_is_valid_path (path)" failed in file dbus-message.c line 1289. | 02:53 |
| RAOF | Sounds like you've got the wrong object path? | 02:58 |
| * RAOF fires up d-feet | 02:59 | |
| psusi | d-feet? | 02:59 |
| RAOF | …and immediately notices he doesn't have a UPower interface. | 03:00 |
| RAOF | Oh, man. You're debugging DBus issues and you don't know about d-feet? Sorry! | 03:00 |
| RAOF | It's a DBus browser. It can't raise signals, but it does enumerate the bus and such. | 03:01 |
| RAOF | Oh, of course. It's on the system bus. | 03:01 |
| RAOF | So “dbus-send --system /org/freedeskop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Sleeping” works for me. | 03:05 |
| RAOF | So “dbus-send --system /org/freedeskop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Sleeping” works for me. | 03:05 |
| psusi | DOH! | 03:09 |
| psusi | I wasn't using the leading / before org | 03:09 |
| RAOF | It also doesn't trigger anything obvious for me :) | 03:12 |
| psusi | me neither... hrm... | 03:13 |
| psusi | so there's no way to monitor who is interested in the signal? | 03:13 |
| psusi | hrm... this doesn't seem to do anything either: dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.UPower --system /org/freedeskop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend | 03:20 |
| RAOF | Wheras that was very happy to suspend my system. | 03:25 |
| RAOF | And, of course, did not result in gnome-screensaver coming back with a screen lock. | 03:25 |
| psusi | hrm.. it works when I use d-feet to call it and yea, doesn't lock the screen | 03:26 |
| psusi | hrm... | 03:26 |
| RAOF | In hindsight, I knew that; I needed to fix a bug where Do wouldn't lock the screen before suspend because it was calling UPower directly. | 03:32 |
| psusi | so what on earth DOES lock the screen? | 03:32 |
| RAOF | Well, in Do we call out to gnome-screensaver ourselves. | 03:44 |
| psusi | bingo... indicator-session... session-service.c:machine_sleep() | 04:01 |
| psusi | now I wonder why the gconf key for g-p-m to lock or not is still there when it doesn't handle that function? hrm.. | 04:02 |

| abhinav_ | is there a command to delete a branch from the repository ? | 06:09 |
| abhinav_ | in bazaar | 06:09 |
| RAOF | rm -r? | 06:10 |
| abhinav_ | so bazaar will know that the branch is gone, if I do that ? | 06:11 |
| RAOF | Yes. | 06:11 |
| abhinav_ | oh ok. thanks | 06:11 |
| RAOF | * For some values of “yes”. | 06:11 |
| RAOF | What exactly do you want to do? Free disk space? Strip out some unwanted stuff from a repository? Clean your source trees? | 06:12 |
| abhinav_ | yeah. I was experimenting something in a branch. I do not want to merge those changes, | 06:13 |
| RAOF | Oh. Then just don't merge those changes :) | 06:14 |
| nigelb | lol, rm -r | 06:14 |
| abhinav_ | yeah, but that branch is pretty useless now. deleting it should not be any harm ? | 06:15 |
| RAOF | The repository is just a performance optimisation. It doesn't actually have any semantic meaning. | 06:15 |
| RAOF | So, while those commits will remain in your local repository, they won't get pushed anywhere (unless you push something that refers to them, but you'd need to merge them for that to happen). | 06:16 |
| RAOF | Your local repository will be a couple of KB larger than it would otherwise be :) | 06:16 |

| abhinav_ | why does dch -i add maverick at the top of the changelog entry, even though I am working on natty package ? | 08:04 |
| dholbach | good morning | 08:04 |
| abhinav_ | good morning :) | 08:04 |
| micahg | abhinav_: you can pass -Dnatty to work on a natty package (I'm assuming you're on maverick) | 08:05 |
| abhinav_ | yes, I am on maverick | 08:05 |
| abhinav_ | I have already saved the changelog. I suppose I can edit it and write natty instead of maverick. | 08:08 |
| micahg | abhinav_: yeah, if you start with UNRELEASED, you can use -D to add the series later, but now you'll have to just edit it | 08:10 |

| === tumbleweed_ is now known as tumbleweed | ||
| abhinav_ | well actually I am working on a bug fix of tomcat6, as I see in the changelog, all the entries say "unstable" instead of maverick or natty | 08:13 |
| micahg | abhinav_: that's because it comes from Debian | 08:13 |
| abhinav_ | ohsix, so I should write unstable too ? | 08:13 |
| abhinav_ | *sorry | 08:14 |
| micahg | abhinav_: no | 08:14 |
| ohsix | tell debian about it, no? | 08:14 |
| micahg | well, the patch should be upstreamed to Debian if appropriate, but that's another question :) | 08:15 |
| ohsix | i can never remember if unstable or testing is the one to expect breakage | 08:16 |
| ohsix | (lots of, not some) | 08:16 |
| abhinav_ | hmm , I have the patch ready :-), Its my first bug-fix, so I have not much idea about the process | 08:16 |
| abhinav_ | but the package is tomcat6-6.0.28, I believe same is available in maverick repositories | 08:16 |

| mdz | dbarth, I noticed the above because I got a compiz crash and saw there were plenty of others coming in like it (unity-window-decorator crashed with SIGSEGV in g_closure_invoke()) | 11:30 |
| dbarth | mdz: the decorator issue is on our radar | 11:31 |
| dbarth | mdz: smpillaz has made more fixes for it, and i'm seeing with didrocks when he can release that | 11:32 |
| mdz | dbarth, ok | 11:33 |
| seb128 | mdz, let me check on the retracers | 11:34 |
| === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch | ||
| seb128 | mdz, the amd64 had a lock set but was not running, the log had no error though so I just restarted it to see | 11:39 |
| mdz | seb128, ok, thanks | 11:39 |
| seb128 | mdz, you're welcome | 11:40 |
| mdz | seb128, did you see the new global bugpatterns code which is now in natty? you can write bug patterns which are not specific to a package, e.g. to catch crashes from a library which bubble up to many different apps | 11:40 |
| === MacSlow is now known as MacSlow|lunch | ||
| seb128 | mdz, no I didn't see it before and I didn't realize that matching was specific to components | 11:44 |
| mdz | seb128, in the past, you had to put bug patterns into a file named after the package, and we would only check for patterns which applied to the package where the bug was being reported | 11:45 |
| mdz | so if you had a libdbusmenu bug which caused crashes in gnome-terminal and nautilus, you would have to add separate bugpatterns for those (and any other app using libdbusmenu) | 11:45 |
| mdz | now you can just write one which will (e.g.) match on the stack trace, regardless of which program crashed | 11:46 |
| seb128 | mdz, ok, I thought we had a pattern for this XAllocId ret != invalid crash for example | 11:51 |
| seb128 | but that's might be why it didn't seem to work ;-) | 11:51 |
| seb128 | mdz, thanks for working on that | 11:51 |
| seb128 | mdz, btw your bug got retraced | 11:52 |
| mdz | seb128, in some places we suppressed the bugs in other ways, e.g. in a general hook or in apt | 11:52 |
| mdz | seb128, I'm not familiar with the XAllocId issue and I don't see that string in the existing bug patterns; is it an active problem? | 11:52 |
| mdz | maybe it would be a good test case :-) | 11:52 |

| pitti | mdz: retracers> checking; they crash very often these days | 12:02 |
| mdz | pitti, I did the bugpatterns conversion based on r178, and there was no libxcb.xml in that version. did I make a bad merge or something? | 12:03 |

| psusi | pitti: oh boy, I think this was your area so maybe you can help.. I've been trying to run down a bug about why the gconf keys for g-p-m to NOT lock the screen and run the screen saver no longer work. If I understood all the code I poured through last night, it looks like gpm has had its interface for initiating suspend removed and that is now handled by UPower now, is that correct? | 15:46 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 702990 in wireshark (Ubuntu Maverick) "raise Python 2.6 compatible exceptions" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/702990 | 15:46 |
| psusi | pitti: my theory is that the correct solution is to rejigger gpm to monitor the suspending signal from UPower and lock/ss if configured to do so, and the code to lock/ss needs removed from indicator-session, does that sound reasonable? | 15:48 |
| cjwatson | hmm,/wg 20 | 15:49 |
| cjwatson | oops | 15:49 |
| barry | micahg: i'm not sure exactly what you're looking for. a unittest for wireshark that exposes the problem? a recipe some human could perform to show the problem has been fixed? something else? | 15:49 |
| micahg | barry: idk, I'd like to SRU this so we can continue to fakesync security updates from squeeze, is something like this fragile and likely to break anything? | 15:50 |
| micahg | oh, there's no debdiff, let me fix that | 15:51 |
| barry | micahg: changing string exceptions to class exceptions can indeed break things, or it could be perfectly safe ;). it depends on how the code uses the exceptions. if it's primarily just raising and catching them, you should be safe. if it does some kinds of introspection (i.e. checking the type) then you could be broken if that code wasn't also changed | 15:52 |
| barry | of course, as the issue points out, string exceptions could have lots of reliability problems too, if not done right | 15:52 |
| barry | cool. a debdiff will help | 15:52 |

| * micahg has a little bug cleanup work later though | 15:56 | |
| micahg | barry: diff attached | 15:58 |
| barry | micahg: omg. yeah, those old string exceptions are completely broken, even in a python that supports string exceptions. :) | 15:59 |
| micahg | barry: so, is it possible to safely SRU? | 16:00 |
| barry | micahg: it's difficult to tell without a full code review. e.g. are those string exceptions caught anywhere? i'd be *very* surprised if the code had an 'except' that expected to catch those, 'cause it'd essentially be impossible. i guess what i'm saying is that i can't see how the patch could make anything worse :) | 16:01 |
| === diwic is now known as diwic_afk | ||
| pitti | psusi: hm, g-p-m didn't change since maverick | 16:01 |
| barry | micahg: is that good enough? ;) | 16:01 |
| pitti | psusi: but yes, I believe the "initiate suspend" etc. stuff moved to gnome-session a while ago | 16:01 |
| micahg | barry: umm, let's see | 16:01 |
| micahg | pitti: what do you think about the above wireshark SRU bug and barry's comments? | 16:02 |
| barry | micahg, pitti i suppose it's also possible that some code which would not otherwise catch the string exceptions, could start catching those new class exceptions. but it seems very weird that you'd write an except clause for which you would specifically not want to catch those string exceptions. | 16:03 |
| barry | micahg, pitti if that makes sense. ;) | 16:04 |
| pitti | yes, it does | 16:04 |
| barry | micahg, pitti so again, short of a full code audit, it doesn't seem like this patch can make things worse | 16:04 |
| pitti | string exceptions are not a thing you'd ever want to catch and handle | 16:04 |
| barry | most definitely not, though it *was* possible if done right | 16:05 |
| pitti | seems okay to me | 16:05 |
| pitti | and it's a standalone GUI app, i. e. not something that is used as a library and needs to maintain a stable public api | 16:06 |
| barry | i suppose if you wanted to be really really safe, you could definite a local exception class that inherits from BaseException. that way 'except Exception' wouldn't catch it. | 16:06 |
| barry | pitti: in that case, i think the patch is fine | 16:06 |
| micahg | pitti: so, what's the process for SRU since I don't have a test case? the goal is to be able to continue to fakesync security updates from squeeze | 16:06 |
| pitti | micahg: primarily "make sure that the program still works", by running through some standard use cases with it | 16:08 |
| micahg | pitti: ok, can do, thansk | 16:08 |

| psusi | pitti: yea, this has been going on at least since lucid | 16:13 |
| psusi | pitti: it looks like idicator-session is what provides the menu on the pannel, and that appears to lock the screen, start the screen saver, and then send the Suspend message to UPower to actually suspend the system. I think gpm used to be the thing that supplied the Suspend method and in response, it would lock the screen if configured to do so, but it looks like since UPower was introduced, this is no longer the case | 16:15 |

| cjwatson | chrisccoulson: I can make an exception for it if you're requesting it | 17:15 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, Reading your comment, isn't this now a powernap bug rather than euca? | 17:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: is not a bug in PowerNap :) | 17:16 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: the thing is that before, PowerNap by default always run monitoring /sbin/init which cause to never perform any action to the machine and Eucalyptus never had any "issues" because it only told powernap "sleep now" | 17:17 |
| chrisccoulson | cjwatson, i would like that, if you can do that | 17:18 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: so in fact, the relationship between powernap and eucalyptus before, was that powernap did nothing than run all the time waiting for a command from eucalyptus | 17:18 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: now, since powernap has evolved, other things need to be considered when configuring it to work with euca | 17:18 |
| RoAkSoAx | so this is rather "best-practices" when working together | 17:19 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: honestly, Eucalyptus wants powernap to stay out of their way | 17:19 |
| cjwatson | chrisccoulson: done | 17:19 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: all they want to do is call powernap-now | 17:19 |
| chrisccoulson | cjwatson, excellent, thanks :) | 17:19 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, Yeah.... so either, powernap needs to revert to the previous behaviour ... or have a config.d/ where euca can throw in a /sbin/init as it's process... Can't think of another decent fix | 17:19 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, Can you? | 17:19 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: they don't want to leverage the flexibility of powernap, and that saddens me | 17:19 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: but so be it | 17:19 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: that's how they want to do it | 17:19 |
| RoAkSoAx | kirkland: ah I was planning to email you my findings in a little bit more detail | 17:19 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: okay | 17:20 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: you can do that | 17:20 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, TBH... remember that this is a point release of euca... so expecting them to add new functionality is somewhat unfair | 17:20 |
| kirkland | RoAkSoAx: Daviey's suggestion is reasonable | 17:20 |
| RoAkSoAx | Daviey: I don't really want functionality added to euca just now, but it is just "recommended PowerNap config when runnning with euca" | 17:21 |
| hggdh | actually a bit more than that | 17:21 |
| hggdh | the current powernap config may cause problems with euca, so one of them should be adjusted. Given that it is just euca that gives us problems, we should adjust it there | 17:22 |
| Daviey | RoAkSoAx, I'd recommend adding a config.d for powernap... That seems the least intrusive, and still enables powernap to be more useful in other scenarios | 17:22 |

| GunnarHj | ScottK: I see. Of course it would have been possible to do it the other way, i.e. starting with the latest Natty revision and revert changes that don't work in Lucid/Maverick. But since that would have involved stuff that I know almost nothing about (Python 2.7 -> 2.6, quite a few dependencies, etc.) I chose to add the changes I wanted to see backported. Maybe an experienced developer would have done it otherwise. | 18:12 |

| psusi | so that's a no then? ;) | 19:16 |
| cjwatson | it's a "let Colin finish typing" | 19:16 |
| * psusi will get this gnome stuff figured out yet | 19:17 | |
| janimo | cnd, that is probably because of upstream changes between 4.7.1 and 4.7.2 which are in that diff | 19:17 |
| cnd | janimo, shouldn't the source package have been updated with the upstream changes? | 19:18 |
| cjwatson | looking at the source, dbus_g_bus_get doesn't take a reference | 19:18 |
| cjwatson | wait, does it | 19:18 |
| cjwatson | dbus_g_connection_unref is a typed shim through to dbus_connection_unref | 19:19 |
| cjwatson | and dbus_g_bus_get calls dbus_bus_get which takes a reference to the connection | 19:20 |
| cjwatson | psusi: so the answer is, yes, you should dbus_g_connection_unref the return value of dbus_g_bus_get when you're finished with it | 19:21 |
| cjwatson | it may be a global variable but it still has a reference count | 19:21 |
| cjwatson | AFAICS | 19:21 |
| cjwatson | and it's only global in the same way that dbus_bus_get returns a global, and its documentation says "The caller of this function owns a reference to the bus." | 19:22 |
| debfx | doko: the new gcc upload makes virtualbox-ose ftbfs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577138/ | 19:22 |
| debfx | should I open a bug report? | 19:23 |
| doko | debfx: please do so, with the preprocessed source attached | 19:24 |
| psusi | cjwatson: hrm.. then it is a bug that gpm-manager.c in g-p-m doesn't do that? | 19:24 |
| doko | debfx: do you prepare the report? | 19:30 |
| debfx | doko: I'm on it, what preprocessed source should I attach? | 19:32 |
| doko | .i | 19:32 |
| doko | build it with -save-temps | 19:32 |
| janimo | cnd, yes. But I have the impression the diffs LP outputs are for the whole package not just debian/ diffs | 19:33 |
| cnd | janimo, I'm looking at one of the patches in debian/patches | 19:33 |
| cnd | it's an autogenerated patch from dh | 19:34 |
| janimo | cnd, in that case I take back what I said | 19:34 |
| cnd | it makes me wonder if the qt 4.7.2 merge is correct, since it often suggests that you've updated the tarball but not the package | 19:34 |
| cnd | so the autogenerated patch ends up undoing all the changes | 19:34 |
| janimo | cnd, now I see that patch too, indeed quite large | 19:35 |
| janimo | cnd, did you see regressions because of that patch? | 19:37 |
| cnd | janimo, no, I went to check the source | 19:37 |
| cnd | and fix an issue with the xi 2.1 multitouch patch | 19:38 |
| cnd | when I saw that huge thing | 19:38 |
| debfx | doko: bug #730860 | 19:40 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 730860 in gcc-4.5 (Ubuntu) "virtualbox-ose fails to build due to an internal compiler error" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/730860 | 19:40 |
| janimo | cnd, the first lines in it suggest it is autogenerated as a summary of upstream changes, but I don't know why it is included there | 19:40 |
| doko | debfx: amd64 only? | 19:41 |
| janimo | one of the Kubuntu folk may know, Riddell is away this week AFAIK | 19:41 |
| janimo | ScottK, ^ | 19:41 |
| debfx | doko: haven't tested i386 yet | 19:41 |
| cnd | janimo, the header of the patch is just autogenerated | 19:42 |
| cjwatson | psusi: I guess so. it may not be serious | 19:47 |
| cjwatson | cnd: dpkg-source is what autogenerates the patch, not dh. | 19:48 |
| cjwatson | (FYI) | 19:48 |
| cnd | cjwatson, since you stepped into the conversation :), do you have any ideas as to how a 1+ million line patch could be generated? | 19:49 |
| === Claudinux_ is now known as Claudinux | ||
| debfx | cnd: that patch should be dropped | 19:57 |
| cnd | debfx, yes, but it's not as easy as just saying it should be :) | 19:57 |
| cnd | the question is: how did it get there in the first place | 19:57 |
| cnd | and is the package being built correctly | 19:58 |
| debfx | cnd: either it's some 4.7.1 vs 4.7.2 mixup or the build process changed some files that weren't cleaned properly | 19:59 |
| debfx | I've looked at the diffstat, there is nothing we want to keep | 20:00 |
| cnd | debfx, yeah, so I'm thinking we need to wait till Riddell can take a look, since he's the one who updated to 4.7.2 | 20:00 |
| cnd | just to be sure | 20:00 |
| psusi | hrm... I think I need to add an argument to org.freedesktop.UPower.Sleeping to say whether it's hibernate or suspend... hrm... now to figure out how to extract such an argument from a GVariant... | 20:02 |

| cnd | debfx, janimo: are either of you familiar with qt4-x11? | 20:15 |
| cnd | I really don't know the regular maintainers of the package | 20:15 |

| mterry | doko, and dbus-c++ is orphaned in debian. Doesn't inspire confidence | 21:33 |
| doko | mterry: sure, but we had it in main before | 21:34 |
| mterry | doko, it was in main as part of another package, whose maintainer presumably took care of it, right? | 21:34 |
| mterry | now no one claims to | 21:34 |
| doko | and makes ubuntustudio uninstallable | 21:35 |
| doko | or was it for mythbuntu? | 21:36 |
