| seb128 | hey guys | 12:32 |
|---|---|---|
| seb128 | what infos would be useful for a bug about a touchpad that stops working in the middle for an xorg session? | 12:33 |
| seb128 | " if i use the hotkey, when enabling it, I see: | 12:33 |
| seb128 | [ 4485.492] (II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: failed to open grail, no gesture support | 12:33 |
| seb128 | [ 4485.492] (--) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found | 12:33 |
| seb128 | but the touchpad isn't driving the pointer" | 12:33 |
| seb128 | "xinput --list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" says | 12:33 |
| seb128 | Device Enabled (132): 1 | 12:34 |
| jcristau | output of evtest, xev, check that nothing has a grab on it. | 12:36 |
| seb128 | jcristau, thanks | 12:38 |
| seb128 | (it's not me having the issue but asking for those infos to be added to the bug) | 12:38 |
| jcristau | though a grab would probably not stop the pointer from moving | 12:43 |
| scoundrel50a | hi, I have a new laptop, that i have 11.10 installed on, but for the past week, since one of the upgrades, I havent been able to get it to load. It loads the background, and not the gui......can anybody help please? | 13:18 |
| scoundrel50a | Once the background has loaded, I can get a terminal, but clicking on Ctrl+Alt+F1 and have been updating every day using that..... | 13:19 |
| scoundrel50a | upgrades should read updates | 13:20 |
| scoundrel50a | is there anybody able to help? | 13:27 |
| scoundrel50a | hello? | 13:54 |
| tjaalton | scoundrel50a: does lightdm start from the terminal (sudo start lightdm) | 13:59 |

| seb128 | bryceh, tjaalton, RAOF: ^ could you look at that issue? | 14:56 |
| seb128 | the sabdfl get it on different thinkpads and it seems quite often | 14:56 |
| tjaalton | seb128: I'm off for a few hours, will have a look after if no-one else beats me to it.. | 15:07 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, no hurry, thanks | 15:07 |
| scoundrel50a | tjaalton: sorry had to go out, are you still there? | 16:22 |
| tjaalton | scoundrel50a: on and off | 16:23 |
| scoundrel50a | ok, just entered that command, and something happened, what is supposed to happen | 16:26 |
| tjaalton | lightdm to start | 16:26 |
| scoundrel50a | oh, not sure what lightdm is, but its stopped at startiong cups | 16:27 |
| tjaalton | you have all the updates in? | 16:28 |
| scoundrel50a | I update everyday using this | 16:28 |
| scoundrel50a | it seems to have stuck | 16:28 |
| tjaalton | "using this"? | 16:29 |
| scoundrel50a | yes | 16:29 |
| scoundrel50a | no display has come up | 16:29 |
| scoundrel50a | sorry using Ctrl+Alt+F1 for updates | 16:30 |
| tjaalton | so there's no x behind f7? | 16:30 |
| scoundrel50a | I dont know what that means | 16:30 |
| tjaalton | vt7, alt-f7 | 16:31 |
| scoundrel50a | when I start Ubuntu, it shows the background, but nothing else loads, I will reload, and see what happens, give me a sec | 16:31 |
| scoundrel50a | rebooted, and clicked Alt+F7 but nothing happened | 16:33 |
| tjaalton | what gfx hardware does it have? | 16:34 |
| scoundrel50a | its a lenovo 550 laptop | 16:34 |
| tjaalton | so.. intel? | 16:35 |
| scoundrel50a | yes | 16:35 |
| scoundrel50a | rebooting again to get the information from the other partition | 16:36 |
| tjaalton | you said it worked for a while? | 16:36 |
| scoundrel50a | yeh, it did up till about a week ago, and there was a big update, and it stopped working | 16:37 |
| scoundrel50a | ok, got the graphics card info | 16:37 |
| tjaalton | lspci would've been enough | 16:37 |
| tjaalton | install pastebinit, then run 'pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log' | 16:38 |
| scoundrel50a | its a Pentium (R) Dual Core CPUwith Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset x86/MMX/SSE2 | 16:38 |
| scoundrel50a | how would I send it to use, just using the terminal | 16:38 |
| scoundrel50a | because I am using a different laptop to talk to you | 16:39 |
| scoundrel50a | I can get in using Ubuntu 2d | 16:39 |
| scoundrel50a | would that work? | 16:39 |
| tjaalton | uh | 16:39 |
| tjaalton | so, in other words X is running just fine | 16:39 |
| scoundrel50a | Ubuntu doesnt work, but 2D does | 16:39 |
| tjaalton | you're on the wrong channel then | 16:40 |
| scoundrel50a | no | 16:40 |
| tjaalton | yes | 16:40 |
| scoundrel50a | I am talking abotu 11.10 | 16:40 |
| tjaalton | this is about X | 16:40 |
| tjaalton | try #ubuntu+1 | 16:40 |
| tjaalton | your personal unity session is somehow broken | 16:40 |
| tjaalton | nothing to do with X | 16:40 |
| scoundrel50a | oh, sorry, didnt know, will try that, thanks for the help | 16:41 |

| seb128 | jcristau, tjaalton, bryceh: | 17:17 |
| seb128 | <sabdfl> seb128, evtest says: | 17:17 |
| seb128 | <sabdfl> This device is grabbed by another process. | 17:17 |
| seb128 | No events are available to evtest while the | 17:17 |
| seb128 | other grab is active. | 17:17 |
| seb128 | In most cases, this is caused by an X driver, | 17:17 |
| seb128 | try VT-switching and re-run evtest again. | 17:17 |
| seb128 | is there any way to tell what is having the grab? | 17:17 |
| tjaalton | that needs to be run from a vt | 17:18 |
| seb128 | why? | 17:18 |
| seb128 | it works under x for me | 17:18 |
| tjaalton | it does? | 17:18 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, yes | 17:18 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/702862/ | 17:19 |
| seb128 | and it reacts to events by displaying those | 17:19 |
| tjaalton | oh, news to me. didn't use to work in the past | 17:20 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, well, still, any way to see what process is grabbing the device? ;-) | 17:20 |
| tjaalton | unity?-) | 17:21 |
| tjaalton | x220 tablet has a multitouch panel on it, and the touchpad | 17:22 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, if that's unity killing the process should restore the device right? | 17:28 |
| tjaalton | seb128: hopefully yes | 17:28 |
| seb128 | tjaalton, https://launchpadlibrarian.net/82023565/xinput.txt is his xinput | 17:28 |
| seb128 | ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=14[slave pointer (2)] | 17:28 |
| seb128 | ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=11[slave pointer (2)] | 17:28 |
| tjaalton | yes | 17:34 |
| tjaalton | does the trackpoint work? | 17:34 |
| tjaalton | i don't see any other failure than some X client grabbing it. apparently evtest from a vt would work | 17:36 |
| jcristau | the synaptics driver still grabs the device by default iirc? | 17:37 |
| jcristau | (evdev doesn't) | 17:37 |
| tjaalton | ah ok | 17:37 |
| tjaalton | i'll test on mine | 17:37 |
| jcristau | haven't checked in a while though | 17:37 |
| tjaalton | oh, the output says that too | 17:40 |
| tjaalton | "in most cases..." | 17:40 |
| tjaalton | seb128: so, please ask him to test it on a vt | 17:44 |
| tjaalton | seb128: evtest that is | 17:44 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, hey noticed you dropped POT building from xkeyboard-config's rules, however #868554 suggests the POT building logic is still needed. | 18:32 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, were there other reasons for dropping it? If not, mind if I re-add it? | 18:36 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: i'll check in a minute | 18:39 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: ok, sorry about that. there should be a way to clean up afterwards though, trying to figure it out | 18:50 |
| tjaalton | the old rule shows as a diff in git and diff.gz | 18:50 |
| bryceh | ah | 18:51 |
| tjaalton | umm, the result of the rule, rather | 18:51 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: i'll handle the bug, need to understand how the pot-magic with lp works anyway | 19:14 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, ok great | 19:19 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: ok I think it works better now, just need to figure out how to push it from this laptop :) | 19:47 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, awesome | 19:48 |
| bryceh | heh, "Precise Pangolin" | 19:48 |
| bryceh | what the hell is a Pangolin? | 19:49 |
| tjaalton | the english name didn't say anything, but I know the creature :) | 19:49 |
| tjaalton | as presented by sir david attenborough on the tv | 19:50 |
| bryceh | Perky Penguin would have been better | 19:50 |
| tjaalton | "ant(pine)cone" in finnish | 19:51 |
| bryceh | hehe | 19:56 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: check the commit to xkb-data, seem sane to you? :) | 20:29 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, looks good | 20:31 |
| tjaalton | alright, time to upload | 20:34 |
| bryceh | and time for some lunch.. bbiab | 20:34 |
| bdmurray | cnd: what 2 finger touches should be available / work? | 22:12 |
| RAOF | I don't believe there are any 2-finger gestures in geis/unity. | 22:13 |
| bdmurray | well something in firefox makes it zoom in / out | 22:13 |
| RAOF | So, synaptics should be providing a right click on 2 finger tap, and a scroll for two-finger drag. | 22:13 |
| Sarvatt | bdmurray: about:config, search for browser.gesture.pinch. and disable? | 22:14 |
| bdmurray | Sarvatt: my question was what other things can I do with my 2 fingers | 22:15 |
| bdmurray | about:config is neat though and shows some stuff | 22:17 |
| Sarvatt | note: i dont even know if that stuff works, was a long shot :) | 22:18 |
| RAOF | Yeah - Firefox won't have multitouch integration yet, surely? | 22:18 |
| * bryceh waves to RAOF | 22:20 | |
| RAOF | Good morning bryce :) | 22:20 |
| bryceh | bdmurray, hey you may have already noticed, but I stuck in a greasemonkey script which makes the launchpad OOPS id's into hyperlinks to the +filebug page (with the oops id) | 22:21 |
| bdmurray | bryceh: I didn't look closely but that sounds like fun | 22:22 |
| bryceh | bdmurray, and I tested out your changes to buttontags, nice... works more quickly | 22:22 |
| bdmurray | bryceh: oh yeah that was pretty slick it uses the lp api via javascript | 22:22 |
| bdmurray | bryceh: the only chagne I saw / see was send_upstream | 22:23 |
| bdmurray | and a message about revisions being removed | 22:24 |
| bryceh | ah, stuck it in my branch not the trunk, one sec | 22:25 |
| bdmurray | bryceh: Did some revisions disappear because I'm on 171 | 22:25 |
| bryceh | bdmurray, probably just bzr's merge wonkiness at work | 22:26 |
| bryceh | bdmurray, maybe try cloning a copy of the tree and doublechecking? | 22:27 |
| bdmurray | well I see my last change still in code browse so it seems fine | 22:28 |
| RAOF | Ok. Who just killed my X server? | 22:37 |
| RAOF | Ah, CloseDownClient, my old nemesis. | 22:38 |
