[00:28] I confirmed a bug in virtualbox-ose. If someone can take a look it would be much appreciated. bug 738330 [00:28] Launchpad bug 738330 in virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Today's Natty update means no guest additions in virtualbox (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 22)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/738330 [00:28] Thanks! [00:34] RedSingularity: looking [00:38] RedSingularity: if you manually go back to the virtualbox-ose version 4.0.4-dfsg-1ubuntu2, does it work again? [00:41] Ampelbein: nope [00:41] tried a few times [00:42] RedSingularity: oh, sorry, I misread the changelog, -1ubuntu1 version I meant. (-1ubuntu2 already has the new deps) [00:44] Ampelbein: I ran into this last night and then searched for bugs today that I may confirm instead of filing a new one. [00:46] hm.... on second look, I don't think it is virtualbox-ose problem because the reporter is on MacOS, not ubuntu. [00:47] Ampelbein: yes true. Cant he run ose on his mac though? [00:47] RedSingularity: -ose is the host part. [00:48] someone earlier said they had problems that went away if they removed the guest additions; couldn't start X with them [00:49] I did mark it under guest-additions as well to be sure. [00:49] I have it under -ose and -guest-additions [00:50] The dupe reporter is running the ubuntu host -ose version. [00:50] RedSingularity: a xorg.0.log from inside the guest would be good. [00:50] Ampelbein: Ahhhh ok. Can I attach mine? [00:51] RedSingularity: yes [00:51] ok standby.... [00:54] Ampelbein: done [00:55] RedSingularity: [ 5.900] (EE) module ABI major version (9) doesn't match the server's version (10) [00:56] RedSingularity: [ 5.901] (EE) Failed to load module "vboxvideo" (module requirement mismatch, 0) [00:56] Ampelbein: What is it saying? Sorry, I never worked xorg before :) [00:56] RedSingularity: the vboxvideo module needs to be rebuilt [00:57] Ampelbein: I did reinstall it twice to no avail [00:58] RedSingularity: I don't know, does vbox-guest-additions use dkms? if so, what does 'dkms status' say? [01:00] RedSingularity: can you pastebin the result of 'sudo aptitude purge virtualbox-guest-additions && sudo aptitude install virtualbox-guest-addtions'? [01:01] Ampelbein: on my host or guest? [01:01] RedSingularity: on the host [01:01] standby.... [01:02] RedSingularity: on that note: you DID reinstall the virtualbox-guest-additions inside the guest? [01:02] Ampelbein: yes. That was the one I was referring to. Never did that on the host. [01:02] RedSingularity: I don't mean the debian package, but the actual additions. [01:04] Ampelbein: Actually i dont have the guest additions package installed on my host. [01:04] I mount it in the guest [01:06] RedSingularity: yes, but the iso you mount comes from the virtualbox-guest-additions package [01:07] or how did you get that iso? [01:08] Ampelbein: It has always just "came" with the -ose install. I never had to get a separate guest iso from anywhere....unless I delete it from virtualbox in which case i guess you could use the ubuntu -ose-guestadditions package from the repos. [01:10] RedSingularity: hmm, ok. what does 'apt-cache policy virtualbox-ose-guest-x11' say inside the guest? [01:11] Ampelbein: None is installed at the moment. Version 4.0.4 is available tho. [01:12] RedSingularity: ok. if you reinstall the guest-additions in the guest, can you post the log? [01:13] Ampelbein: sure, hold on [01:13] Ampelbein: oh what log? [01:15] RedSingularity: should be in /var/log/VBoxGuestAdditions [01:15] RedSingularity: there should be one right now [01:15] Ampelbein: yes there is [01:15] RedSingularity: can you pastebin? if it's too big, attach to the bug please. [01:16] Ampelbein: its.....2 lines [01:16] that's.... small. [01:16] yeah [01:16] thats what i was thinking [01:17] Ampelbein: This was all working fine until the update last night [01:17] then I rebooted the VM and that was it [01:17] no additions anymore [01:17] the update in the VM i mean [01:18] RedSingularity: the xserver got a new ABI [01:18] Ampelbein: think its the cause? [01:19] RedSingularity: it definitely is the cause. see the 2 lines I posted above from xorg.0.log [01:19] RedSingularity: the module vboxvideo needs rebuilding [01:19] Ampelbein: so wouldnt this be a vbox bug then? [01:19] RedSingularity: which should be done by the virtualbox guest additions script [01:20] RedSingularity: no, the module is in the guest-additions. [01:21] RedSingularity: can you uninstall and reinstall the guest additions and pastebin any output? [01:21] use ' | tee -a foo.bar ' [01:21] Ampelbein: hmmmm lets try to do it in the term.... [01:26] Ampelbein: nope. All the output you want is put into another terminal window. It doesnt even look like gnome-terminal btw. [01:26] I cant even copy the output with the mouse [01:26] or ctl+c [01:27] RedSingularity: hmpf, anything in /var/log/VBoxGuestAdditions this time? [01:27] or did you see anything related to vboxvideo [01:28] Ampelbein: nope no change in the log files either... [01:31] Ampelbein: I guess I can mark "invalid" the package under virtualbox-ose since the problem is with the guest addition package? [01:35] RedSingularity: one last try. the directory where the uncompressed guest additions are (normally named install), run 'sudo ./install.sh uninstall' from there. [01:35] Ampelbein: alright [01:36] RedSingularity: when uninstall is done, run 'sudo ./install.sh' [01:36] after that, run 'dkms status' [01:37] Ampelbein: hold on. I have an idea for the info you wanted before....about the term output while installing. [01:38] Ampelbein: here you go.... http://i.imgur.com/ujGYm.png [01:39] RedSingularity: ok, so there is no error. what does dkms status say? [01:40] Ampelbein: "program dkms is not installed" [01:43] ok... [01:44] can you try starting X now and (if it fails) 'grep vboxvideo /var/log/xorg.0.log'? [01:46] Ampelbein: give me the error that the server is already running. That makes sense though because I do have a desktop....I am not stuck in a term or anything. [01:49] ok, now I'm confused. I thought with the guest additions installed you don't have X at all? [01:54] Ampelbein: I have x....but it seems that natty wont detect the guest additions. I cant use the "accelerated graphics" and therefore cant use Unity as Jean said in the duplicate bug report. [01:54] I cant even use "fullscreen" [01:54] Seemed to me that Jean suffered from the same issue [01:55] So its not just a graphics issue but rather a whole guest additions package issue. [01:56] * RedSingularity hopes he sent the correct report :/ [01:59] RedSingularity: ok, I seem to understand clearer now. the basic issue remains though, the vboxvideo driver doesn't get built, which means no 3d and no advanced X11 integration. [02:00] RedSingularity: can you remove the guest-additions inside the VM, install 'dkms', install guest-additions again and reboot? [02:02] Ampelbein: trying now.. [02:02] If there is a "remove" script... [02:04] RedSingularity: well, how did you uninstall the additions before? [02:04] I didnt get to that part....i instead sent you the image.... [02:05] .sh remove or uninstall does not seem to work [02:06] RedSingularity: you can use the normal way of uninstalling. [02:06] the autorun just keeps reinstalling no matter what i put after in terms of uninstall [02:06] hmmm [02:08] if you can't uninstall, just install dkms, reinstall and reboot [02:08] Ampelbein: the guest additions is not installed via dpkg [02:08] ok [02:09] Ampelbein: I never needed the dkms package before....why would i need it now? [02:09] ...rebooting.. [02:09] it makes it easier in those cases because you can easily rebuild modules [02:11] reinstalled the additions and rebooting again [02:11] Ahhhh! Still nothing. Natty does not see the additions. [02:12] what does 'dkms status' say? [02:13] vboxguest 4.0.4 2.6.38-7-generic i686: installed [02:14] ok. I'm lost. [02:15] RedSingularity: [02:15] RedSingularity: 'grep EE /var/log/xorg.0.log' does still say wrong ABI? [02:22] Ampelbein: yep [02:23] RedSingularity: actually, looking at the code it seems there is a new version of the videodriver needed and since the driver is binary only, you need to wait till there is a new virtualbox version out. [02:24] RedSingularity: there is vboxvideo, the kernel driver that gets rebuilt everytime and there is vboxvideo_drv that interacts with the X-Server, which is binary only. [02:25] Ampelbein: So we cant use the vbox with natty and guest additions until a new version comes out? [02:26] RedSingularity: yes. another example of "Closed source is evil!". [02:26] Ampelbein: what is closed in this tho? [02:27] RedSingularity: the videodriver. [02:27] oh vbox [02:27] video [02:27] Ampelbein: but it is the OSE i thought?? [02:29] RedSingularity: well, the guest additions don't provide the source of the vboxvideo_drv module. [02:30] ohhhh [02:30] Ampelbein: pm === Hurtz_ is now known as Hurtz [09:55] Hello triagers, wich is the command to save in a file the data collected by 'apport-collect -p.....'.

[11:51] haven't tried it in a while [11:52] yofel: the tray icons are the only controls available [11:52] yofel: it works when the gconf key is added [11:52] yofel: but fails during saving [12:00] rr0hit: the fails during saving would be another bug [12:00] yes [12:01] rr0hit: but that it doesn't show the tray icon by default is a bug too if it's required [12:01] yofel: so shall i close this bug and report another? [12:01] the gconf key is a workaround, not a fix [12:01] yofel: alright [12:01] as it's still broken for everyone else [12:02] yofel: looks like the bug has been there for long [12:02] yofel: bug 494343 [12:02] Launchpad bug 494343 in istanbul (Debian) (and 1 other project) "Istanbul crashes whenever I stop recording.

[12:26] it has? but that's what natty has [12:27] yofel: yes, the typo isnt there in that file in the tarball. Maybe it was fixed after someone packaged it [12:28] yofel: or maybe i am yet to get an update, wait [12:30] rr0hit: ask someone in -motu, I don't get what's wrong here [12:31] rr0hit: aaah, one of the patches seems to add the Gtk line [12:31] debian/patches/fix_grab_xid.patch [12:33] yofel: yup !!

More information in #ubuntu-motu as this isn't triaging anymore [12:41] yofel: can I apply the patches to the tarball, then create a patch to correct the mistake and submit that patch? [12:42] I'm not sure what's the best way to patch a patch, that's why I would advise to wait for an answer in -motu, you can file a seperate bug for your issue with the information you have so the work doesn't get lost though [12:43] alright [12:57] bbl [12:59] yofel: can you mark bug 738551 as triaged? problem is identified [12:59] Launchpad bug 738551 in istanbul (Ubuntu) "istanbul doesn't launch under unity (affects: 2) (heat: 14)" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/738551 [14:06] Afternoon all [14:07] hi xteejx [14:07] hey ari-tczew :) [14:08] Hmm, my right click menu in firefox has stopped working lol [14:11] on my firefox (running natty) java has been stopped working [14:12] xteejx: FF4 ?

You would, then, be able to do it yourself ;-) [20:02] I want penguin42 mentoring me!, if he can have all the needed patience
