SweetsharkI had a chat with _rene_ yesterday. He said he does not intend to release a 3.3.2rc1 at all. So I guess we should upload the 3.3.1 final we have now to natty main.08:27
pittiSweetshark: "make it so"08:27
pittiSweetshark: that now built for arm, and -l10n as well, right?08:28
didrockshey pitti, Sweetshark (almost one hour without looking at IRC, new record! \o/)08:28
Sweetsharkpitti: doko reported it to build on arm. I had a l10n build in my ppa, so it should be good.08:29
pittibonjour didrocks08:29
pittiSweetshark: rocking08:29
pittiSweetshark: want me to sponsor from the PPA, or from chinstrap?08:29
Sweetsharkdidrocks: Heya!08:29
Sweetsharkpitti: from chinstrap. The versioning in the ppa was fubared.08:30
pittimvo: hm, you said that you updated the bugs for the maverick SRU upload? All three of bug 665218, bug 665572, and bug 665722 are still incomplete upstream and unfixed in natty08:31

ubot2Launchpad bug 665722 in aptdaemon "VirtualBox installation fails" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/66572208:31
mvopitti: right, the patch adds more information to the code (capture the errors better). the bugs itself are unfixed still, but without the additional info there is no way to get them fixed08:32
pittimvo: ah, I see08:36
pittimvo: so the maverick bugs shouldn't be closed with this as well08:36
mvoyeah, I will reopen them08:40

seb128pitti, do you have any clue about the error in the i386 retracer log?09:12
pittiseb128: the same "big wadl dump" one?09:12
speakmanhi dev folks! This is the second computer having problem with gnome-session-daemon hanging (or dysfunction) on login. If you could tell me who to speak to, I can help tracing this bug as it hits every single time I log in.09:13
seb128pitti, no a bad argument in a gzip call09:13
seb128speakman, hi, there is no gnome-session-daemon09:13
seb128speakman, there is gnome-session or gnome-settings-daemon09:13
pittiseb128: sounds like broken core dump09:13
speakmanooops09:13
seb128the first handle your session the second your settings09:14
speakmangnome-settings-daemon was it :D09:14
pittiseb128: new poppler is an ABI bump unfortunately :/09:14
pittibut oh well, we had these before09:14
seb128pitti, to change...09:14
seb128it's like every second poppler update has one09:14
seb128speakman, how does it hang? are you sure it hangs and doesn't crash or exit?09:14
speakmanI'm a developer myself, but totalt new to gnome. But I thought I could help fix this issue since it's hitting me every time I log in.09:15
speakmanseb128: According to the full backtrace, it doesn't actually hang (it's resting on poll()) but killing it with SIGKILL (SIGTERM doesn't do anything) and restarting it at least get me my desktop apperance back.09:16
seb128seems what you describe is it running09:16
seb128can you copy your .xsession-errors somewhere?09:16
speakmanIt is probably. It's just not doing it's job :D09:16
speakmanseb128: absolutely!09:17

speakmanThis is my xorg.conf as well; http://pastebin.com/Z0xXPqVu09:18
speakman(I'm on dual GPU with four monitors, but this happens on a single GPU single monitor computer as well. With very little in common with my computer)09:19
seb128speakman, the warning about randr not being available is weird09:20
speakmanok?09:20
seb128xrandr is pretty standard nowadays09:20
speakmanOh, look at my xorg.conf09:20
speakmanIt doesn't play well with Xmonad IIRC09:20
speakmanBut still, it happens on the other single monitor non-Xmonad computer as well, so :)09:20
seb128hum09:20
seb128do you have modern computers there?09:21
speakmanI -think- you can ignore that error09:21
speakmanseb128: pretty much09:21
seb128there is a known race between the gdm and the session gnome-settings-daemon09:21

ubot2Launchpad bug 649809 in gdm "the session settings manager can try starting before the login screen one exits" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/64980909:25
speakmanIt has been an issue since the first login. On both machines.09:25
seb128speakman, ^ I think that's your issue09:25
seb128speakman, you can try the sleep workaround from comment #68 if you want09:26
speakmanThanks, I'm just reading through the comments...09:28
seb128speakman, there is quite some "noise" from before we figured what was the issue09:29
glatzormorning mvo, are there any plans to get multi arch to python-apt?09:29
speakmanHas it anything to do with the fast HDD's? Because I'm (2xVertex 2 in RAID0) experiencing it all the time, and my mates (LVM'd OCZ RevoDrive) experienceing it randomly.09:29
seb128speakman, yes, it's mostly a race, if your system loads the session g-s-d before the login one has exited you get the issue09:30
seb128where io is most of the loading work09:30
speakmanseb128: that's probably it then.09:30
seb128speakman, you can try the sleep 1 workaround to see if that "fixes" it09:31
seb128if that does it's clearly that race09:31
seb128it will be fixed for natty09:31
speakmanseb128: just have to say, the Vertex 2 is some extremely fast disks. And two in RAID0 makes about 600MB/s random 4k both reads and writes :)09:31
* speakman soon at #68 :D09:31
speakmanBut while reading; Do you have any idea how to tell GDM on which monitor it should show the login screen?09:32
seb128I think it uses the "primary" monitor09:33
seb128you can probably define in xorg which one that is09:33
speakmanok, thanks :)09:33

seb128pitti, so this retracer gzip crash, should apport be robust to such issues?10:07
seb128i.e do you want to keep that buggy retracing as a test and fix the issue?10:07
doko_seb128, pitti: so new gnomish upstream versions (and build failures like gdk-pixbuf) are ongoing. any idea when this will slow down?10:10
seb128doko_, it will not10:10
seb128doko_, stack libraries got updates every second weeks10:10
seb128those are minor updates, out of transition arch all,any mismatches there is no issues10:11
chrisccoulsongood morning everyone10:11
doko_so would you mind test-building gdk-pixbuf before uploads? we had exactly this build failure before ...10:11
pittidoko_: gdk-pixbuf fails to build?10:11
doko_pitti: all archs10:11
pittioh, from last night10:11
seb128pitti, seems the bug you fixed recently is back10:11
pittiweird, that was fixed upstream10:12
doko_pitti: is somebody subscribed to build failure emails?10:12
pittiI guess it worked on Robert's local build because he had the -dev installed10:12
pittidoko_: the uploader, i. e. Robert10:12
seb128pitti, let me bet, you probably forgot to update the vcs10:12
seb128pitti, it seems your revision was dropped10:12
doko_pitti: I mean, somebody who gets all build failure mails10:13
seb128doko_, you?10:13
doko_like a tech-lead ... ;)10:13
pittiseb128: there is no Vcs-Bzr for gdk-pixbuf, I didn't commit at all10:13
seb128pitti, there is one I guess, ~ubuntu-desktop/gdk-pixbuf/ubuntu10:13
doko_seb128: yes, I am, that's why I'm nagging ;-)10:13
pittiseb128: ah, should be added to debian/control then; sorry10:13
seb128doko_, relax on build issues, they happen and are handled, it's not breaking or blocking anything10:14
pittidoko_: I'm sure Robert will handle it once he gets up10:14
seb128pitti, well I say that but knowing how desktop packages are handled I bet it's in the vcs10:14
pittiseb128: we have some like gvfs which use the new-style one10:14
seb128pitti, it's likely that the control change got dropped because we had a direct sync on debian or something10:14
pittiseb128: anyway, I'll reapply my fix and reupload10:14
seb128pitti, I think gvfs is the only one10:14
seb128pitti, thanks10:14
seb128pitti, but for any desktop source you can try to get lp:~ubuntu-desktop/source/ubuntu first10:15
seb128don't really on control10:15
seb128rely10:15
seb128pitti, btw meeting reminder ;-)10:15
doko_seb128: sorry, I can't relax if it's needed to build gcj/openjdk ...10:16
seb128doko_, well it's likely the current upload didn't count since it built nowhere so for sure the previous version can still be installed?10:17
seb128likely -> like10:17
pittiseb128, doko_: gdk-pixbuf fixed/uploaded10:28

seb128pitti, btw what about the apport one? I let the i386 retracer down on it for now in case you want to make apport robust to it10:45
pittiseb128: ok, I'll have a look afterwards10:45
seb128pitti, we don't especially need it running now, it retracer yesterday and the amd64 is running10:45

pittias most people use bzr for merging12:04

seb128mterry, not sure what you are replying to, but the menus seem to vanish after minimizing dialogs since yesterday libdbusmenu update12:56
seb128mterry, so ti's likely due to ted's fixes for kenvandine's issue12:57
mterrychrisccoulson had messaged me last night when I wasn't around saying that appmenus were broken12:57

pittiQ-FUNK: they don't conflict package-wise; if you install bug-buddy, GNOME should use this, and only this14:44
pittiI don't want to break the bug-buddy functionality14:44
pitti(and then apport would still be used for all non-gnome packages)14:44
pitti... or bug reports14:44
Q-FUNKpitti: ok. is there some sort of debian alternative used to determine which one will be used?14:46
pittiQ-FUNK: no, as they don't use the same interface AFAIK14:47
pittiat least the last time I looked at it, bug buddy worked in terms of providing a signal handler (more more specifically, some central libgnome something installed the signal handler and calls bug buddy if available)14:47
pittifor apport programs need to actually crash, and the kernel calls apport14:47
Q-FUNKcould apport somehow benefit from the stuff that that library collects?14:48
Q-FUNKbecause here, whenever nm-applet crashes, bug-buddy is called, but then it complains that it cannot collect enough evidence because the debug packages are not installed.14:48
Q-FUNKI would then prefer having apport catch those crashes, but it never launches for some reason14:49
SpamapSso.. unity.. no alt-f2 to run things? what about typing in a command in the search window box thing that pops up when I hit the super key?14:49
Q-FUNKgnomesegvhandler14:50
pittiSpamapS: Alt+F2 will come back, just not done yet14:51
SpamapSpitti: thats good to know. Is there a way I can run the things that the search does find?14:52
pittiSpamapS: click on it14:52
pittiSpamapS: keyboard navigation will still come as well14:52
SpamapSpitti: good... seems the last 2 things that I'd want to consider moving are in place.. well that and supporting multiple monitors with diff resolutions.14:54
Q-FUNKhmm. actually, apport-gtk also makes gtk complain about a missing gnomesegvhandler14:56
Q-FUNKsilly question, but why is apport-gtk in /usr/share instead of /usr/lib or /usr/bin ?14:56
pittiQ-FUNK: you shouldn't call /usr/share/apport/apport yourself, that's the kernel-side interface15:01
pittiQ-FUNK: apport-gtk/kde as well15:01
Sweetsharkpitti: in 15 minutes we will know if the error was spurious ...15:01
pittiQ-FUNK: the CLI interfaces are ubuntu-bug and apport-retrace15:01
robbiewpitti: do you recall the package that I need to remove to keep Ubuntu one from repeatedly crashing?  gir1..something15:02
Q-FUNKpitti: ok, but how does apport get triggered if at all, these days?  I simply haven't seen any single apport message in the notification area in ages, but bug-buddy regularly pops up.15:02
pittirobbiew: did we talk about that? I don't remember this at all15:02
robbiewpitti: we didn't...just thought you might know :P15:03
pittiQ-FUNK: are you running maverick? it's disabled by default in stable releases (see /etc/default/apport)15:03
robbiewI ran into this before...will chase it down with DX...unity related15:03
pittirobbiew: dobey might be able to help?15:03
Q-FUNKpitti: natty on this host15:03
robbiewKenEdwards: hey...I'm being bombed by U1 crashing repeatedly15:03
pittiQ-FUNK: update-notifier brings up the GUI once there's a crash; do you have something in /var/crash/ ?15:03
robbiewI ran into this before...and needed to remove some gir related package15:03
Q-FUNKpitti: I had until a few minutes ago15:04
seb128robbiew, you shouldn't have to remove any gir15:04
seb128robbiew, if there is a crasher bug we should get it properly reported and fixed15:04
seb128robbiew, do you have details on the crash?15:04
Q-FUNKpitti: seems that update-otifier is not installed here, for some reason. that might explain it.  should apport-gtk Depends on it, then?15:05
seb128Q-FUNK, uninstall bug-buggy15:05
Q-FUNKseb128: yup, did that now15:05
robbiewseb128: well...I'll try...it locks up the machine b/c it repeats so fast...will open today15:06
pittiQ-FUNK: I'd rather avoid it15:06
pittiQ-FUNK: abusing update-notifier is not quite ideal, but we have to do that until we get proper upstart user events15:06
dobeywhat's up?15:06
Q-FUNKpitti: or a Recommends, at least?15:06
seb128robbiew, try to use gdb on it to block it otherwise ;-)15:07
dobeyrobbiew: uninstall gir1.2-unity-3.0 to stop syncdaemon from crashing15:07
robbiewah ha!15:07
robbiewthnx dobey15:07
pittiQ-FUNK: apport doesn't know anything about u-n, nor call it, etc.15:07
dobeyi don't know why it keeps respawning instead of just crashing and burning, but the GIR bits for unity/dee/etc seem to still be fairly problematic :(15:07
* didrocks wonders if it's because the dee gir is finally working than u1 is just having issue15:18
didrocksbefore the override wasn't in the right dir15:18
didrocksso, the import would fail15:18
Sweetsharkpitti: armel failed again, same issue, other machine.15:20
Sweetsharkpitti: seems the setup of ca-certificates-java 20100412 is a currently a sure way to fail.15:22
pittiSweetshark: indeed, that looks like a recent java regression on armel15:22
Sweetsharkpitti: should I file a bug about it, if yes against what? openjdk on arm?15:26
Q-FUNKany way to force apport to send extra info and/or file a new report when testing a developer's possible fix?15:30

seb128chrisccoulson, right, ted says he doesn't get it and it seems to work fine there as well16:25
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i get it quite frequently with firefox, and some people were mentioning it on IRC last night too16:25

kenvandineok16:36
seb128the patch itself shouldn't be a real issue if we want to take it but it's an hack and it doesn't seem have a strong rational16:36
didrocksalso, meanwhile, can you please ping me when you are updating gtk in natty? I got a bunch of emails this morning from people telling my overlay package in the ppa was broken :/16:36
seb128didrocks, that's not going to work accross people uploading gtk, subscribe to natty-changes and set up a filter for gtk uploads ;-)16:37
didrockswell, I would prefer someone volonteering for the overlay maintaince :)16:38
didrocksor doing the upload in the ppa16:38
pittithe new scroll bars are a bit of a "surprise" to say the least16:38
seb128talk to dx16:38

didrocksthe packaging is done, should be a matter of updates and rebase patches…16:39

* mpt reads17:26
mptmterry, that looks like a regression to me17:26
mterrympt, k, thanks17:27
mptmterry, I guess they got rid of it because the text field is ugly, but it could be moved into a secondary dialog that opens when you choose "Other..."17:27
mterryseb128, so we should do something about a custom field.  either go back and patch glib or create a custom-field editor...17:28
seb128mterry, I'm tempted to say it's enough of a corner case and that it's lower issue than other bugs and unity17:29
mptmterry, if it was nicely buried, Gnome might even accept it upstream :-)17:29
mterrympt, while I have you here, I had asked a few questions about indicator-datetime a while back.  Specifically about showing the current timezone in the list of locations.  In emails with the titles "DateTime configuration dialog"17:29

mptta17:31
seb128mterry, ok so what do you think?17:38
seb128I don't like much reverting the glib and gvfs code, seems we should move things forward rather17:38
seb128it's likely than having common browsers and email clients there should be fine for 99% of the users17:38
seb128even if it costs on day of hacking to add back the option it also feels like that day should be better spent fixing indicator or unity issues17:39
seb128that's my view on the issue17:39
seb128pitti, kenvandine, chrisccoulson: ^ opinions?17:39
mterryseb128, fair17:40
* kenvandine agrees17:40
mterryseb128, plus, ideally it would be coordinated with upstream, which might take a bit of time17:40
seb128ok17:40
seb128so just document the way to do that manually with a text editor17:40
seb128pitti, btw there is a start of shotwell mir bug on launchpad with the news summary17:48
pittiseb128: no strong opinion, but I agree about the "forward is better than patchhing backwrds"17:48
seb128pitti, do you think we could move that on so robert_ancell just has to do the update later on?17:48
pittiseb128: you mean check the package for MIR? I can't ack it any more, but I can certainly help out with reviews17:49

janimoSweetshark, hello, I retried the failed LibO arm build, it may have been caused by errors on the servers independent of packaging. Now it is past the initial error location19:24
janimodoko, ^19:25
Sweetsharkjanimo: ah, cool! And hopefully it has not died yet for other (more valid) reasons?19:28
dokojanimo, Sweetshark: expected, I uploaded eglibc too early. the buildd's need a fixed lucid kernel19:29
janimoSweetshark, it was a segfault whle installing Java dependencies, so not a valid reason :)19:46
janimoSweetshark, see the arm asm patch is dropped, but did not look at the sources. Is the gcc __sync alternative that is in LibO master used? If not that may need to be picked, otherwise that code uses pthreads and that is suboptimal19:47
Sweetsharkjanimo: there is no patch applied at all on natty, only for the maverick and lucid backports.19:49
janimoSweetshark, ok. I see19:49

dobeyand everything actually works after that?21:47
kenvandineyes21:47
dobeyok, cool21:48
dobeyi pushed an update to u1client which just Conflicts: gir1.2-unity-3.0 for now, but i will change that back when your new packages are in the archive21:48
dobeyas i begin to try and clean up libubuntuone's insanity21:50
kenvandinedobey, the frustrating thing is i spent time trying to figure out why my fix wasn't working... didn't realize the unity gir is in the dist, so not generated at build21:51
dobeyugh21:53
achiangTheMuso: any clues? is there an alternative mixer that can sit in the systray for the case where you have removed pulseaudio from the system (and thus do not have indicator-sound anymore) ?21:53
dobeyall this gir stuff has almost tempted me to just write C instead of vala :(21:53
TheMusoachiang: There is the legacy gnome-volume-control stuff, but I don't think that gets packaged any more. Take a look at gnome-media.21:53
TheMusoByt that is not an indicator.21:54
TheMusoachiang: And why the removal of pulse?21:54
achiangTheMuso: a legacy systray app is good enough for my purposes21:54
achiangTheMuso: we are having a devil of a time getting pulse working on a freescale imx51 board21:54
achiangTheMuso: this is for a lucid project anyway21:55
TheMusoah ok.21:55
achiangTheMuso: do you know of any known issues with pulse and armel?21:56
TheMusoachiang: WIth pulse from lucid, no.21:56

bryceh_heya21:59
jasoncwarnermorning everyone!22:00
jasoncwarner[TOPIC] X22:00
bryceh_we've just posted mesa 7.10.122:00
RAOFAh, you've uploaded that?  Awesome :)22:00
bryceh_an xserver bump is in the works and will be out within the week, it's mostly just making sure the driver situation is sane22:01
bryceh_RAOF, in fact wanted to ask - is the driver situation sane enough we could do xserver right now?  anything we're waiting on still?22:01
jasoncwarnerbryceh_: learning from my last experience with an x upgrade .... are we going to have 3d for it ;) (sarcasm, but just expect to get that question going forward! :) )22:02
bryceh_RAOF, yeah re: mesa, I played with it a bit this morning and didn't spot anything bad so went ahead and dropped it in a little bit ago22:02
RAOFI was only waiting for nvidia and fglrx to catch up - have they?22:02
bryceh_jasoncwarner, indeed that's exactly the reason we've been delaying updating it so far22:02
robert_ancellRAOF, can I haz alt-tab now?22:02
RAOFrobert_ancell: You should have haz alt-tab for a number of weeks - don't you?22:03
bryceh_-nvidia should be right?  With -fglrx <mumble mumble> but I gather it doesn't matter since we don't have a functioning -fglrx driver with the interim abi22:03
TheMusorobert_ancell: Should be fine with recent cards, I am using compiz with gnome now and having no problems.22:03
bryceh_robert_ancell, yeah that's fixed since some time ago22:03
bryceh_or, at least the alt-tab bug I was working on a while ago is now fixed. ;-)22:04
RAOFs/fixed/worked around by using a driver upstream doesn't say “why are you touching the classic driver”/22:04
* robert_ancell alt-tabs.... and is still here!22:04
jasoncwarnerrobert_ancell: small victories ;)22:05
robert_ancellI'm just getting the window not redrawing bugs now (seemed to start a week ago or so)22:05
bryceh_ok, in other news the wayland update I mentioned last meeting has gone in, so we're "done" with wayland for natty.22:05
jasoncwarneryay22:06
jasoncwarnerok, any other x news?22:06
bryceh_nope, pretty much at this point I'm entirely focusing on bugs.  RAOF, you?22:06
jasoncwarner[TOPIC] AOB?22:07
RAOFPatches have been posted upstream for the residual graphics corruption on early gen3 (think i915) chips.22:07
RAOFIf you're experiencing that bug, try the intel-drm-next kernel from the mainline builds.22:07
bryceh_oh, speaking of freezes, I've also updated the -intel apport hook to hopefully dupe these bugs a bit more smartly22:08
TheMusoI hope the big crashing issues with the ubuntuone stack are known.22:08
bryceh_TheMuso, X crashing?22:08
TheMusoI had to delete the launcher desktop file from /etc/xdg/autostart for now, as I couldn't use myd esktop with constant apport hooks coming up.22:08
TheMusobryceh_: Not X, ubuntuone related.22:09
bryceh_TheMuso, haven't seen reports of a ubuntuone / X crash issue22:09
bryceh_ah22:09
RAOFTheMuso: Yeah, that's known, and I think worked around in the most recent update?22:09
* TheMuso is referring to AOB, but its not really meeting related, just wondered if anybody had hit that.22:09
RAOFbug 73102322:09
TheMusoRAOF: I saw ubuntuone related changes from overnight, but haven't updated yet.22:09

bryceh_I noticed in software center you can vote for reviews as many times as you wish.  ;-)22:10
TheMusoHrm interesting. I am still using GNOME here.22:10
RAOFThat's what you're hitting.22:10
TheMusoi.e GNOME panel/22:10
TheMusoOk will update ASAP then.22:10
RAOFIt's probably seeing if it can connect to unity, so would do so in regular GNOME too?  Dunno, maybe you're seeing a different bug?22:10
kenvandinedobey, libunity and dee uploaded22:10
kenvandineTheMuso, i just uploaded fixes for that ubuntuone crasher22:12
TheMusokenvandine: Ok sweet, will wait till they have been published then.22:12
jasoncwarnerkenvandine: awsome...was getting annoying! ;)22:12
TheMusothanks.22:12
jasoncwarnerOk...anything else? otherwise...22:12
bryceh_jasoncwarner, how has the unity feedback been going?22:12
ricotzgilir, hi22:12
jasoncwarnerbryceh_: as you might expect...mixed22:13
jasoncwarnerthere is actually quite a bit of love, some hate...but alot of middle ground.22:13
gilirhi ricotz22:13
jasoncwarnerseems people can see the good through the rough edges, which is encouraging.22:13
* TheMuso winces at the slowness of wireless 2.4gHz. My area's 2.4gHz spectrum si congested waaay to much atm, can see 16 APs, including my own.22:14
kenvandineTheMuso, the fixes are in libunity and libdee22:14
ricotzgilir, perhaps you have time for this https://launchpad.net/elementaryicons/2.0/2.7 :-)22:14
jasoncwarnerOk...if nothing else, thanks everyone!22:14
jasoncwarner[END MEETING]22:14
bryceh_thanks22:14
ricotzoh, sorry for interfering with the meeting22:15
bryceh_jasoncwarner, yeah shame we don't have another 6 months to polish, it seems most issues that I've seen are just basic usability things which probably aren't that hard to fix, just time consuming22:15
TheMusothanks22:15
dobeykenvandine: great, thanks!22:15
bryceh_like...  this morning for the life of me couldn't figure out how to get to the control center or configuration tools, had to run gnome-control-center from the command line.  Little stuff like that.22:16
gilirricotz, is there a changelog since the last one release ? To be sure it's bug fix only :)22:16
jasoncwarnerbryceh_: that should be fixed very soon...that was something I noticed as well.22:17
jasoncwarnerbut, yeah.22:17
jasoncwarnerfor sure, Natty is going to be fun, but we'll be polishing for 11.1022:17
jasoncwarner11.10 should be very, very nice!22:17
ricotzgilir, yes, it has some greater changes, so it is not quite a bug-fix-only thing, but it is worth a FFe22:19
RAOFHas anyone else found that they sometimes log in to an entirely blank desktop?22:23
bryceh_RAOF, like, jus tshowing the background image?22:23
bryceh_or a black blank screen?22:23
RAOFJust showing the background image.22:24
bryceh_yeah22:24
RAOFAnd if you attach gdb to things everything seems to be waiting for everything else.22:24
bryceh_unity --reset I think is the workaround22:24
bryceh_actually I've not seen that as much lately as I used to, but it seemed to occur 1-2 times every 3 boots22:25
bryceh_on my i94522:25
RAOFI was rather hoping to actually fix it :)22:26
bryceh_RAOF, that would be lovely of course22:26
gilirricotz, please open the FFe request, so we can discuss this in the bug report22:26
bryceh_RAOF, unity has a few debug options that might be more helpful than gdb in this case22:26
bryceh_(--verbose and --advanced-debug)22:26
ricotzgilir, ok22:27
gilirricotz, lubuntu and xubuntu depend on it, so we need to see the changes before uploading it22:27
ricotzgilir, will do this tomorrow22:28
charlie-tcaI been using Alt+sysRq+k to reset my desktop and it logs in correctly then second time22:28
