=== ejat- is now known as ejat
RAOFpitti: Good morning!  Do you know how access control to sane/cups/etc devices is handled?06:07
RAOFDo we have udev rules + an ACL, or something different?06:07
jasoncwarner_hey everyone...having a heck of a day with compiz...anyone else having issues?06:07
pittiRAOF: cupsd runs as root, so we don't do much of ACL there06:08
pittiRAOF: for sane and gphoto cams we do use ACLs, see /lib/udev/rules.d/70-udev-acl.rules06:08
pittiENV{ID_GPHOTO2}=="*?", TAG+="udev-acl"06:08
pittiENV{libsane_matched}=="yes", TAG+="udev-acl"06:08
pittiRAOF: see /lib/udev/rules.d/40-libsane.rules and 40-libgphoto2-2.rules06:09
RAOFAaah!  I saw /lib/udev/rules.d/libsane, but that applied an ACL for a non-existent group.06:09
pittiyeah, we don't use the scanner group06:09
pittihey jasoncwarner_ -- it got a bit better with the most recent compiz, but I still get crashes06:10
RAOFI'm running unity trunk as of last Friday evening, and that's doing pretty well.06:10
jbichapitti: how should I handle gnome-tweak-tool's missing m4 directory?06:10
jasoncwarner_pitti: I keep getting window decorator crashes06:10
RAOFAlthough it's still leaking gem_objects, so the OOM killer starts kicking in after a while.06:11
pittijbicha: hm, I'm not sure06:11
jbichaI thought I could just do it in the rules file as it seems to me a bit weird to do a patch for that06:12
pittijbicha: does it just require an mkdir/, or also files in it?06:12
jbichait doesn't actually need anything in the directory, but I believe autoconf chokes if that directory doesn't exist06:13
jbichahttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=56566306:15
ubot2Debian bug 565663 in automake "autoconf: autoreconf fails if macro dir does not exist" [Normal,Open]06:15
RAOFpitti: Hm.  And what does udev-acl actually do?  I'm trying to ensure that colord gets access to the appropriate devices (scanners & printers) without root.06:17
pittiRAOF: ACLs aren't meant for system daemons06:22
pittiRAOF: they are meant for giving device access to the user who is currently on the foreground console06:22
pittiRAOF: udev-acl and consolekit cause an extra rw ACL to get added for ^06:23
RAOFAha.06:23
pittijbicha: hm, then mkdir'ing in rules before calling configure or autoreconf ought to do it indeed06:24
RAOFpitti: So I need to add some explicit magic so the colord user has access to the appropriate devices?06:24
RAOFAnd by "magic" I presumably mean "another udev rule, applying a rw ACL for the colord user".06:25
pittiRAOF: is colord a system daemon or running in the user session?06:25
RAOFSystem daemon.06:26
RAOF(dbus activated, but system wide)06:26
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
pittiRAOF: and it needs to talk to scanners?06:27
pittifor that it could ensure that the scanner system group exists and put itself in that06:27
RAOFIt is, by upstream default, run as root, but kees was concerned that it's vector for exploits; it allows the user to pass arbitrary data to lcms, and lcms has apparently had security holes in the past.06:28
pittifor printers, it should talk to them through cups, otherwise cupsd and colord would race for device access06:28
RAOFWell, really it wants to use sane to talk to scanners.  I _think_ it already talks to printers through cups, tkamppeter might know better.06:28
pittilibsane presumably06:29
RAOFIndeed.06:29
RAOFlibsane.06:29
pittiso, put it into "scanner" and "lp"06:29
pitti(groups)06:29
pittiI still don't think that it's such a good idea to have this as a separate daemon, as it will provoke device locking race conditions, but that's an upstream design problem, not an "access permission" one06:29
pittiwell, for scanning there is no daemon, so it has little other chance06:30
RAOFRight.06:30
RAOFMy understanding is that it's not going to fight for the scanner very often, and only in response to a user request (ie: I've stuck a standard colour-profile image on my scanner, kindly calibrate it for me).06:32
RAOFIt also wants to be able to enumerate scanners, as they're the sort of thing you want to calibrate :)06:36
jbichapitti: I did that in my rules file, but that didn't work when you tried to build it?06:40
pittiapparently not; I need to try again06:41
tkamppeterRAOF, AFAIK colord only talks with CUPS and not with the printers directly, but I do not really know about the internals of colord.06:45
RAOFHey, there we go.  Now colord sees the hpaio scanner.06:51
pittijbicha: aah07:28
pittijbicha: your debian/rules patch has the mkdir commented out07:28
pittijbicha: how about I comment that in, and move it into post-patches::?07:28
jbichaoops sorry about that, thank you07:29
pitti+post-patches::07:29

pittisomethign like this?07:29
pittijbicha: btw, can I ask you to keep the changelog target as "UNRELEASED" as long as this isn't really uploaded?07:30
jbichayes, post-patches sounds like a better place07:30
pittiok, builds now07:30
jbichapitti: ok, I'll use UNRELEASED from now on07:30
pittithanks07:30

Nafallohrm. did we get rid of the settings dialog for setting the font sizes in oneiric? :-)07:32
RAOFNafallo: You can fiddle with them in gnome-tweak-tool, but there's no by-default way of doing that, no :(07:33
Nafallohehe. seems there was a lot of settings that disappeared. hopefully they'll come back on whatever p will be.07:34
jbichaNafallo: you can also try System Settings>Universal Access and then pick a Text size, but it's not very precise07:34
Nafallookay. at least I've got options now. thanks guys.07:35

pittiseb128: there are no names who requested them; how do you handle this usually, -b seb128?08:16
seb128pitti, well that was rather for the early in the cycle before the freezes08:16
seb128pitti, I just noticed that people put things there recently, 2 of 3 listed have sync request bugs08:17
pittiah, will look there, thanks08:17
seb128pitti, danke08:18

chrisccoulsonhi seb128. i'm good, but a bit tired thanks08:57
chrisccoulsonmy daughter kept me awake for most of last night08:57
pittiwe did quite a lot of garden and house work on Saturday, and went swimming/idling yesterday :)08:57
seb128oh :-(08:57
seb128is the ok?08:57
seb128the->she08:57
pittichrisccoulson: teeth again or did she catch a flu?08:57
chrisccoulsoni'm not too sure. she seems fine this morning. i'm not sure why she doesn't feel tired like me ;)08:58
chrisccoulsonoh, i already had gnome-screensaver to go09:09
seb128yeah, not sure why jbicha did it while it was assigned to you on the etherpad, I guess it was an overlook :-(09:09
chrisccoulsonit seems like i shut my eyes for a few hours at the weekend and everyone takes stuff i was working on ;)09:09
chrisccoulsonmdeslaur also reverted the changes that give it the gnome-shell look09:10
jbichachrisccoulson: yes, sorry about that, didn't see until after I had already finished it09:10
chrisccoulsonbut he's reverted it for all sessions09:10
seb128chrisccoulson, did he? where?09:10
chrisccoulsonseb128, he pinged me on IRC yesterday09:10
seb128oh ok09:10
seb128rodrigo_, oh, you have up on fighting to keep the 2s pad delay? ;-)09:11
seb128huats, lut09:13
seb128huats, how is the gktsourceview update going?09:13
Shambler[Bishopasking here as haven't found an answer on #ubuntu: how do I recover from a black screen, where all programs are still running normally, just screen is black, without rebooting, and while keeping programs open?09:14
seb128Shambler[Bishop, hi, try #ubuntu for user questions09:16
Shambler[Bishopok. is there a more dev-oriented channel I can ask in? solving my problem without losing open programs, seems like it might require dev smarts09:17
seb128Shambler[Bishop, not really, dev channels are not support ones09:18
huatsseb128, I should be able to finish it tomorrow (today I have a big deadline)09:18
Shambler[Bishopfair enough09:18
seb128Shambler[Bishop, but I would try to stop the screensaver and to restart compiz if I were you09:18
huatsseb128, I'll let you know09:18
seb128huats, ok09:18
Shambler[Bishopyep screensaver is already off09:19
seb128Shambler[Bishop, without any description of what version of ubuntu you use, what desktop, what you were doing etc it's almost impossible to help you there09:19
brycehchvt and xrandr might be of some utility09:20
chrisccoulsonseb128, oh, the new thunderbird theme does work with the light radiance theme btw09:20
Shambler[Bishoplatest, in virtualbox, the new desktop with everything moved to side of screen, no screensaver, wasn't doing anything at time (it was left to its own devices, encoding a dvd in the background, as it is still doing now)09:20
seb128chrisccoulson, why not?09:20
chrisccoulsoni needed to restart thunderbird when i tried it though ;)09:20
Shambler[BishopI think gfx driver has crashed or something09:20
chrisccoulsonseb128, last time i tried it, it didn't work09:20
chrisccoulsonbut after i restarted it, i realized that it did actually work09:20
chrisccoulsonthe icons get their colours from the theme09:21
seb128oh ok, I read "doesn't work", dunno why ;-)09:21
seb128chrisccoulson, great09:21
chrisccoulsonso it looks pretty good with radiance too09:21
seb128is the default in the default install now btw?09:22
chrisccoulsonseb128, no, but it will be later today09:22
seb128excellent ;-)09:22
seb128ok, let's finish with the updates09:28
seb128chrisccoulson, want to claim one or two updates?09:29
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, can do09:29
seb128\o/09:29
pittihm, firefox seems to have forgotten to scroll down when marking text and pushing below the lower edge09:29
rodrigo_seb128, not gave up, but I thought we'll try and see if this introduces more bugs than it fixes09:29
seb128rodrigo_, why would it introduce bugs?09:30
seb128it was the default for several cycles09:30
rodrigo_seb128, that's what I've been told09:30
rodrigo_seb128, 2.0s was the default09:30
seb1280.5s just tends to be a bit short and you still get palm clicking sometimes09:30
seb128rodrigo_, what bastien said is that 0.5s leads to palm clicks because it's a bit short09:31
rodrigo_seb128, but asI said, we'll see, if nobody complains we'll be ok :)09:31
seb128but we lived with it without complain for some years09:31
seb128yeah09:31
seb128the 2s just feels buggy09:31
seb128you get a good 1s where you try to use the pad and where it doesn't work09:31
rodrigo_yeah09:31
seb128pitti, want to do the gvfs update?09:32
chrisccoulsonpitti - that's a known bug09:32
pittiseb128: yes; I still need about an hour or two for jockey, then I can get to this09:32
chrisccoulsonwe had a distro patch to fix that in firefox 6, but this code got completely rewritten in firefox 709:32
seb128pitti, no hurry, thanks ;-)09:32
pittithe new -updates fglrx/nvidia driver packages hit around FF, and it was not so trivial to show them09:32
pittibut I got the underlying bug fixed now09:32
seb128ok, I will do updates later, I need to pilot first ;-)09:33
pittichrisccoulson: ugh, that's still not fixed upstream? weird that so few people c&p from firefox, I seem to do that rather often09:33
chrisccoulsonpitti - yeah, me too. it's always been a problem, but it was masked by the presence of the statusbar in old versions09:33
chrisccoulsonso we carried a patch since firefox 4 to fix that09:33
chrisccoulsonbut the patch needs a big rethink now09:34
chrisccoulsonpitti - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64462109:37

pittiif the archive version is right and the branch is wrong, the merge should just be rejected09:45

pittiseb128: ^09:45
seb128pitti, ok thanks09:46
RAOFBah.  Are there any good tools for working out what's dbus-activating colord about 15 seconds into boot?09:48
pittiRAOF: hm, not that I know of; you could perhaps launch dbus-monitor early in the boot and have it log into a file?09:49
pittiRAOF: but perhaps it's easier to grep /usr/bin/, /usr/sbin etc. for the d-bus name of colord09:50
jbichapitti: I did unapply the .desktop patch before I did my merge proposal, maybe that's a bad idea09:50
RAOFpitti: Hah!  When all else fails, grep the binaries? :)09:50
pittijbicha: for this reason I really hate the UDD branches; preapplied patches are EBW09:50
pittiand there's no way to not break them, unless you tear apart a chicken09:50
pittijbicha: so seems we need another upload there?09:51

rodrigo_who can I talk to about user groups in ubuntu?09:52

rodrigo_unix user groups, that is09:52
jbichaand I'll make sure I have reapplied patches before uploading09:53
pittirodrigo_: me09:53
rodrigo_pitti, ok :)09:53
jbichathe ubuntu-desktop branches are so much easier to do the right thing with09:53
rodrigo_pitti, so, my question is about the wheel group09:53
pittirodrigo_: I'll be right back with you, need to restart session09:54
pittikeyring went AWOL09:54
rodrigo_pitti, ok09:54
pittirodrigo_: so, wheel group?09:56
rodrigo_pitti, yes, so upstream accountsservice uses the wheel group to add admin users09:57
rodrigo_on ubuntu that just adds the user to 'adm', iirc09:57
pittiwe use the "admin" group for admins09:57
rodrigo_so, if I'm right,since wheel group is recognized, it should do the correct thing, which is to add the user to the groups in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/81090709:58
ubot2Ubuntu bug 810907 in gnome-control-center "User Accounts profiles need to be updated for Ubuntu" [High,Confirmed]09:58
rodrigo_pitti, yes, but wheel is a pretty standard thing, isn't it?09:58
pittirodrigo_: or rather, it was thirty years ago :)09:58
pittirodrigo_: we don't really use it, as we use sudo09:58
rodrigo_my question is if we still have that group, should we patch apps or just make it do the correct thing?09:59
chrisccoulsonpitti - if you want to work around the scrolling issue btw, just use ctrl+f to open the find bar ;)09:59
rodrigo_that is, if you use the wheel group, create an admin user with the correct groups in09:59
chrisccoulsonor ctrl+/ to turn on the addon bar09:59
pittichrisccoulson: ah, nice09:59
BigWhaleuhm... hi. is nspluginwrapper in oneiric broken just for me or for everyone?09:59
pittirodrigo_: the concept of wheel is rather incompatible with the concept of sudo10:00
BigWhalebroken = uninstallable10:00
pittirodrigo_: the consistent Ubuntu thing is to put admins into "admin", and that's it10:00
pittiadm is fine, too10:00
rodrigo_pitti, patching apps = upload a patch I have for accountsservice to add users to all needed groups in ubuntu10:00

pittirodrigo_: admins should be put into "admin", "adm", and "lpadmin"10:02
pittirodrigo_: .. and "sambashare"10:02
pittijincreator: you mean for Ubuntu in general, or just for your local box?10:04
pittijincreator: there are two places for it to change: (1) the set of default packages in the seeds (ttf-whatever), which will define the "ubuntu-desktop" metapackage10:05
pittijincreator: and (2) the fontconfig configuration, which is mostly in the fontconfig-config package (fontconfig source), plus some tweaks in language-selector10:05
BigWhaleI come back from vacation and everything seems different in Oneiric. :>10:19

jibeldpm, Hi, can we start reporting bugs about untranslated strings in ubiquity or there is work in progress ?10:33
dpmjibel, string freeze is not until 3 days time IIRC. However, people have already started translating it. So as long as people have been keeping up with untranslated strings and ev has been exporting and committing translations, it should be fine to report bugs. Better double-check the ubiquity logs/commits to see if there have been recent translation commits first, though10:36
pittidpm: hey David, how are you?10:39
pittidpm: we need a new -base langpack refresh for beta; can we get an export towards the end of the week?10:39
pittiI'd like to upload fresh langpacks on Friday, so that they can build over the weekend10:39
dpmhey pitti, very well, thanks :)10:39
dpmlet me have a look...10:39
RAOFtkamppeter: How familiar are you with hplip's sane integration for multifunction printers?  What are the prerequisites for that to work?  colord currently gets started early in the boot process (I think by cupsd), and it doesn't pick up my hp multifunction scanner until I kill the daemon and start it again.10:41
RAOFtkamppeter: So I suspect that maybe the sane device isn't available until cups is fully up, and colord doesn't notice the hotplug.10:41
RAOFtkamppeter: For more information, this is a wireless printer, so there's no physical connection to my system.10:44
dpmpitti, sounds good, would Thursday work well for you? We've got an export scheduled already there (https://dev.launchpad.net/Translations/LanguagePackSchedule). The only caveat is that lately full exports have started taking up to 24 hours (bug filed in LP) and might not be ready until Friday afternoon. If that works for you, then we only have to request a full export on Thursday. If you think it's too tight, we can ask the LP folks to start the expor10:46
dpmt earlier.10:46
pittidpm: what is afternoon there?10:49
pittianything until 1400 UTC would work for me, but not afterwards (as it needs some 2 hours to prep them)10:49
seb128pitti, do you know what added the 2mb?10:50
dpmpitti, yeah it'd be 14:00 UTC (assuming it takes 24h), but I cannot tell for sure. To be on the safe side, I'll ask the LP folks to start the export Thursday morning instead of Thursday 14:00 UTC10:51

jcastroseb128: hey so, I had a hard time finding folder sharing in 11.10, and I (think) we're supposed to be using nautilus-share right? It appears to be an extension or something.13:34
tkamppeterRAOF, the scanner driver of HPLIP recognizes the availability of scanners via the existence of CUPS queues with the hp: backend. So seems CUPS must be listening so tha the scanners get listed by SANE.13:36
tkamppeterRAOF, perhaps you should add a wait loop which checks for CUPS listening every second and that until a timeout of 10 seconds. Then list the scanners.13:38

GunnarHjseb128: Hi Sebastien, I have noticed that you often monitor bugs to ensure that they are properly dealt with. Could you please take a look at bug 770091? I really think that we shouldn't ship that bug with Oneiric too.13:57
ubot2Launchpad bug 770091 in ubiquity "Unsolicited attempt to import files and settings" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/77009113:57
GunnarHjpitti: Hi Martin, this is a simple example of my problems in Oneiric as regards compliling glibc stuff:13:57
GunnarHjhttp://gunnar.cc/ubuntu/compile-failure-oneiric-example.txt13:57
GunnarHjIn Natty that code compiles and runs fine.13:57
seb128GunnarHj, hey, ok13:58
seb128GunnarHj, the build failure is due to --as-needed13:58
pittiGunnarHj: try swapping it:13:58
seb128GunnarHj, try putting the  "test.c -o test" part between gcc and pkg-config13:58
pittigcc test.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0 gobject-2.0`13:58
GunnarHjpitti, seb128: Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try those variants later.14:00
geserGunnarHj: or gcc `pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0 gobject-2.0` test.c -o test `pkg-config --libs glib-2.0 gobject-2.0`14:00
geserthe important part is the the test.c (or test.o if you compile it seperately) comes before the libs it needs (pkg-config --libs)14:01
GunnarHjseb128: "Due to --as-needed", can you please elaborate?14:02
geserGunnarHj: oneiric's ld uses "--as-needed" by default which results in libs getting only linked if object files (or other libs) *before* the -llib parameter in the ld call uses any symbols of that lib14:05
geserGunnarHj: see also https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition#How_to_Fix_a_Problem14:10
GunnarHjgeser: Thanks a lot for those explanations. (I didn't read that remark by seb128 too carefully, and I thought it was related to the bug report I asked him to look at.)14:16
mdeslaurI'm getting a lot of dbus disconnects and timeouts with a bunch of different applications in oneiric...is that a known issue?14:18
mdeslauruhm...maybe gconf and not necessarily dbus14:19
seb128mdeslaur, no, how does it manifest?14:20
mdeslaurseb128: Evo shows an error dialog, a python app I use triggers apport, etc.14:20
mdeslaurseb128: it's intermittent...and jdstrand is seeing it too14:21
chrisccoulsonmdeslaur, does dbus-daemon use a lot of cpu when it happens?14:27
mdeslaurchrisccoulson: good question...I'll check next time it happens14:27
mdeslaurIt probably happens to me about twice a day14:28
chrisccoulsonmdeslaur, i get an intermittent issue where indicator-datetime-service keeps spamming the session bus, causing everything else on the bus to grind to a halt14:28
chrisccoulson(including compiz)14:28
chrisccoulsonit basically results in everything using dbus to lag horribly14:28

dobeychrisccoulson: true14:44
njpatelchrisccoulson, at least, you and us use g++ frequently, maybe it's doing something stupid14:44

pittiah, that sounds fine15:50
pittinessita: I already ported the unit tests to u1client15:51
pittinessita: but then reverted it15:51
pittinessita: as you use twisted, and that pulls in gobject or gtk (can't remember which any more), you can't use GI in the tests15:51
seb128kenvandine, hey15:51
kenvandinehey seb12815:52
nessitapitti: very likely you will need to import it (re:humanize), and make the callers do not use it like a instance method, but as a global function (ie remove the self.humanize call and call humanize directly, tehre is no point of having it as an instance method)15:52

mbertens1hi all, got a problem, i'm running ubuntu 11.04 server with gnome desktop via Xvnc (tightvncserver) with xinetd; and after a weekend trying i got this working, i can login as my normal user account, but when i try to update the system or install a new software package its asking me for the "password for ROOT" why is this ? what i'm i doing wrong ?19:43
cyphermoxyou might be trying to do "su" rather than "sudo" for your commands. this said, you should ask in #ubuntu, which is the channel for support questions19:45
mbertens1i asked there but there is no help offered :-(19:46
mbertens1and this is a problem that appeared in the desktop so ask here too :-)19:47
mdeslaurmbertens1: policykit uses the consolekit permissions to determine if you're allowed to do privileged operations. When you use vnc, you're not at the console, so you don't have the appropriate rights.19:48
mdeslaurargh, he left19:48
brycehtypical :-)19:49

dobeyi wish my problem with oneiric was "flash doesn't work"20:19
* dobey looks at the big black screen on his laptop20:20
dobeyoh, now unity shows up20:21
dobeyi wonder what it was doing20:21
dobeyoh20:21
dobeywhy is gnome-settings-daemon using 200% of my cpu20:22
dobeythe one owned by gdm, no less20:22
dobeyugh, this computer is so sluggish right now20:25

BigWhaleI think I just segfaulted Xorg22:28
RAOFSweet.22:28
RAOFAny follow up details? :)22:29
BigWhaleI'm looking if there are any left... :>22:30
BigWhalethere's no core file22:30
BigWhalebut it must have been Xorg, because both my screens went blank and then lost signal.22:30
BigWhaleRAOF, I can't find anything... I was using bibblepro to convert ~4000 images and then I used display form imagemagick to display one of those converted images... then everything went blank. :/22:36
RAOF /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old might have some usable backtrace.22:37
BigWhalehmm I checked .1 and .0 ... let me see.22:37
BigWhaleno, nothing really... modelines reported from the start, then this:22:38
BigWhale[ 14682.250] (II) UnloadModule: "evdev"22:39
BigWhale[ 14682.250] (II) Unloading evdev22:39
BigWhale[ 14682.303]  ddxSigGiveUp: Closing log22:39
RAOFBigWhale: There's not an actual backtrace above that?  That looks like something asked the Xserver to kindly shut down, rather than it crashing.22:42
BigWhaleRAOF, no, there are no BT's... I looked. It didn't look like a shutdown... but who knows. Everything froze. during normal shutdowns of Xorg, mouse usually stays responsive until the very last moment. Here, there was a freeze and few seconds of pause between the screen blanking22:44
BigWhaleRAOF, I've noticed in the kern.log that bibble5 was segfaulting, but that was prior Xorg crash/shutdown22:45
RAOFBigWhale: If there's not a trace in Xorg.?.log(.old)? then it's almost certainly not an X crash; it might have been the DPMS settings kicking in and then something preventing the monitor from turning back on?22:46
BigWhalewhatever it was it crashes/restarted xorg and I had to login again22:47
RAOFHm.22:49
BigWhaleI did notice this: [16910.777190] [drm:drm_mode_getfb] *ERROR* invalid framebuffer id22:51
BigWhalethe only thing I cannot explain :)22:51
RAOFThat's an artefact of our plymouth integration.22:56
desrtRAOF: good evening23:05
RAOFdesrt: And a fine morning to you.23:05
desrthow confusing...23:06
BigWhaledesrt, I agree it's 1:30am here :>23:28
