| cnd | bryceh, have you and RAOF looked into gtest? | 03:27 |
|---|---|---|
| cnd | I'm looking at your unit tests for xrandr-utils | 03:27 |
| RAOF | Which one is gtest? | 03:27 |
| cnd | RAOF, google-test | 03:27 |
| cnd | I'm in love with it | 03:27 |
| RAOF | Ah, ok. That one. | 03:27 |
| cnd | just thought I'd mention it | 03:27 |
| RAOF | I'm not really familiar with it. What does it do to make you fall in love with it? | 03:27 |
| cnd | it's based on c++, which means test environments, fixtures, and such can all be managed in a hierarchical way | 03:28 |
| cnd | and you don't have to write a main() or register any test cases | 03:28 |
| * RAOF sees that it's written in C++, which may result in madness. | 03:28 | |
| cnd | RAOF, you can check out xorg-gtest, which we posted to xorg-devel today | 03:29 |
| RAOF | Hm. How does automatic test-case detection work in a language with no introspection? | 03:29 |
| cnd | we're using it in utouch-frame | 03:29 |
| cnd | RAOF, magic? | 03:29 |
| RAOF | Aieee. | 03:29 |
| cnd | RAOF, check out http://people.freedesktop.org/~cndougla/xorg-gtest/ | 03:29 |
| cnd | look at the example | 03:30 |
| cnd | that's literally all you need to code if you want to have something that builds and tests | 03:30 |
| cnd | there's no other code that has to be written | 03:30 |
| RAOF | That looks like something that could indeed be useful. | 03:31 |
| RAOF | We should really get rid of the "need to be root" bit, there. | 03:31 |
| cnd | RAOF, I don't think it's possible if you want to fire up an Xorg server | 03:32 |
| RAOF | It should be possible with the dummy drivers, but it isn't at the moment. | 03:32 |
| cnd | because any config file you specify must be in /etc/X11 or /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, *unless* you are root | 03:32 |
| cnd | yeah, that's true | 03:32 |
| cnd | it still doesn't help us for the touch team because we need to use uinput to replay device events | 03:33 |
| cnd | which requires root to interact with the kernel | 03:33 |
| cnd | but I'm not really suggesting that xorg-gtest would be worth your while as-is | 03:33 |
| cnd | because the dummy video driver probably won't get you very far with xrandr | 03:34 |
| cnd | but gtest in general is going to be much better than rolling your own | 03:34 |
| cnd | I was skeptical at how much better it could make my life, but I really love it after having developed tests and frameworks with it | 03:34 |
| RAOF | Yeah, I'm a big fan of not rolling my own. | 03:35 |
| RAOF | Actually, aren't there patches to enable xrandr on the dummy driver? | 03:36 |
| cnd | I wouldn't know | 03:36 |
| cnd | if there were, then xorg-gtest would be perfect :) | 03:36 |
| RAOF | The documentation there also suggests that it can hook you up with an existing X11 server, which would be the next best thing. | 03:36 |
| cnd | yeah | 03:36 |
| cnd | by default when you run tests with --no-dummy-server it will use $DISPLAY | 03:37 |
| cnd | and I suppose --no-dummy-server can be used when not root | 03:38 |
| cnd | anyways, time to eat dinner and stop working! | 03:38 |
| cnd | back tomorrow! | 03:38 |
| RAOF | :) | 03:41 |
| bryceh | cnd, interesting. I'm trying to keep xrandr-utils close to X standard practices; what I've got in there parallels the xserver test suite | 05:04 |
| bryceh | I like C++ myself but know keithp is not a fan. | 05:04 |
| bryceh | heya RAOF, btw I tossed the xrandr-utils patches up on xorg-devel@ a couple hours ago; thanks for your review earlier, I took out that perl test. | 05:06 |
| RAOF | bryceh: Sweet; I'll throw some reviewed-by tags your way. | 05:07 |
| bryceh | RAOF, thanks! | 05:09 |
| bryceh | I had another chance today to learn just how much git rebase kicks ass | 05:10 |
| RAOF | Sometimes your own :) | 05:11 |
| tjaalton | RAOF: cool, I'll give it a go today :) | 05:23 |
| RAOF | tjaalton: It seems to do weird things to wine; I'll be interested to see if you also notice that. | 05:24 |
| tjaalton | after going through the xmas shopping mayhem.. | 05:24 |
| tjaalton | ah, does wine work on amd64 currently? | 05:24 |
| RAOF | You can't install ia32-libs-multiarch, but equivs will let you install ia32-libs which will let you install wine. Then it's just a matter of hunting down libfoo:i386 :) | 05:27 |
| tjaalton | ugh, ok | 05:35 |
| bryceh | RAOF, I stuck the ppa on a radeon box. Boots to the ubuntu logo, shows a mouse cursor, but no greeter | 06:11 |
| RAOF | Huh. Odd. | 06:12 |
| RAOF | Anything interesting in the logs? | 06:12 |
| bryceh | bryce@dorset:~$ apt-cache policy lightdm-gtk-greeter | 06:12 |

| RAOF | Heh. | 06:12 |
| RAOF | Oh, no. You're after unity-greeter rather than lightdm-gtk-greeter. | 06:12 |
| bryceh | ah right $ apt-cache policy unity-greeter | 06:13 |

| bryceh | ah, potentially I had fglrx installed | 06:15 |
| RAOF | Ah. I haven't uploaded an fglrx to the ppa. | 06:15 |
| bryceh | hmm, no evidence so far | 06:15 |
| RAOF | There's a new -ati in there (I think); I may have bollocksed that up. | 06:16 |

| bryceh | Candidate: 1:6.14.99~git20111219.aacbd629-0ubuntu1 | 06:20 |
| RAOF | Yeah, that's a newer snapshot than in the main archive. | 06:22 |
| RAOF | Which should be fine. :) | 06:23 |
| bryceh | yeah it feels like X is basically ok, it's just the greeter is refusing to do its thing | 06:23 |
| bryceh | actually when I restart lightdm I see a brief glimpse of my desktop | 06:24 |
| bryceh | then it comes back to a black screen with movable mouse cursor. | 06:25 |
| bryceh | switching to vt1 and back to vt7 gives me the console text with mouse cursor. maybe something's not painting | 06:26 |

| bryceh | wonder if that's relevant | 06:31 |
| RAOF | That's empathy being denied access to dconf; I should report that bug. | 06:35 |
| RAOF | It does, however, indicate that you appear to have made it all the way through to your session. | 06:36 |
| bryceh | yeah | 06:36 |
| bryceh | this is what is printed to syslog when I do a sudo service lightdm restart: | 06:36 |

| bryceh | intriguing... ppa-purge of the ppa results in working X session. | 06:38 |
| bryceh | let's try again | 06:38 |
| bryceh | hmm, apport caught something... crash in "fts.py" | 06:41 |
| bryceh | part of zeitgeist | 06:41 |
| bryceh | guess coincidental | 06:41 |

| cnd | RAOF, bryceh, fyi, I plan on pushing mt versions of xorg-server and evdev to the x-staging ppa tomorrow | 06:46 |
| RAOF | cnd: Awesomesauce. | 06:47 |
| cnd | I was hoping keithp would pull Peter's mt branch today, but I can cherry-pick it as-is if he doesn't get to it | 06:47 |
| cnd | maybe I'll look into forward porting the qt multitouch patch after that :) | 06:48 |
| cnd | anyways, bed time for me | 06:48 |
| bryceh | cnd, sounds good | 06:48 |
| bryceh | I'm running the ppa on a devoted test box, I can update and test whatever whenever | 06:49 |
| bryceh | hmm this is weird, after ppa-purging and re-adding, it doesn't want to install the new X bits | 06:50 |
| RAOF | Oh! Are you trying to run Unity? It still won't start without mt/gestures. | 06:50 |
| bryceh | RAOF, heh ok that'd do it | 06:52 |
| cnd | RAOF, that hasn't been fixed yet? | 06:55 |
| bryceh | RAOF, ok, I assumed it just required the new input stack. I take it cnd's upload tomorrow is required then? | 06:55 |
| cnd | grrr... | 06:55 |
| cnd | bryceh, it's a unity bug | 06:56 |
| bryceh | cnd, mm | 06:56 |
| cnd | there was a "fix" for it that was obviously wrong on further inspection | 06:56 |
| cnd | a week ago I assigned it back to the original fixer, hoping they would resolve it | 06:56 |
| bryceh | ok, and I have auto-login enabled so it just logs me into unity automatically; presumably if I switch that off I could go into unity2d or classic | 06:56 |
| cnd | maybe they've been on vacation? | 06:56 |
| bryceh | at least I've learned ppa-purge isn't reversible with apt-add-repository (as it probably should be) | 06:58 |
| cnd | bryceh, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/860707 | 06:59 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 860707 in unity (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Unity crashes when started in an environment without utouch support (affects: 58) (dups: 2) (heat: 270)" [High,Triaged] | 06:59 |
| cnd | I might have to fix that myself | 06:59 |
| * cnd tries to stay away from unity development | 06:59 | |
| bryceh | they've probably all been repurposed into cloud developers or something | 07:00 |
| bryceh | ok yep switching to gnome classic (no effects) boots in fine | 07:01 |
| tjaalton | cnd: btw, debian wants multitouch soon, so there's no need for our own upstream branches, could've used -experimental there | 07:30 |
| tjaalton | but it's no biggie | 07:30 |
| tjaalton | oh unity still busted? maybe i won't test the ppa afterall :/ | 07:37 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, definitely busted | 08:29 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, classic seems to work | 08:29 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: yeah, i'll hold off then.. though it's just my laptop to break, hmm | 08:32 |

| FernandoMiguel | damn.... my touchpad is a MESS | 14:55 |
| cnd | tjaalton, were people getting upset about me pushing ubuntu specific packages? | 15:25 |
| cnd | KiBi seems a bit miffed that I would do that | 15:25 |
| tjaalton | cnd: yeah we discussed it on debian-x the other day, and told that we didn't know what their plans were and forgot to ask. no harm done :) | 15:50 |
| cnd | I just chatted with him on #debian-x, I think he's ok once I mentioned this is a one-time, time-sensitive deal | 15:51 |
| cnd | I'm trying to get things into the ppa before I go on vacation | 15:51 |
| tjaalton | yeah he's cool | 15:51 |
| tjaalton | Sarvatt told him that we (you) were on a deadline | 15:51 |
| cnd | I just pushed a fix for the utouch-unity crash: https://code.launchpad.net/~chasedouglas/unity/utouch-crash/+merge/86727 | 16:21 |
| cnd | hopefully it is reviewed and uploaded soon | 16:21 |
| cnd | but I don't know if it will be before the holiday break | 16:22 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| FernandoMiguel | rebooting seems to have fixed my touchpad probs.... for now | 17:10 |
| cnd | I decided to create a unity package with a fix for the utouch issue | 17:30 |
| cnd | after I see that it builds, I'll push it to the staging ppa | 17:30 |
| tjaalton | cnd: oh great, thanks | 18:11 |
| cnd | it's now uploaded | 18:22 |
| cnd | I haven't had a chance to test it yet | 18:22 |
| cnd | I'm just now updating behemoth to precise | 18:22 |
| cnd | but it's a simple fix, so it should work | 18:22 |
| tjaalton | cnd: hmm don't see unity on the ppa yet? | 19:43 |
| cnd | tjaalton, it probably hasn't built yet | 19:43 |
| tjaalton | cnd: ah, right.. | 19:44 |
| tjaalton | start in 23min | 19:45 |
| tjaalton | i can wait :) | 19:45 |
| ricotz | cnd, hi, you probably want to put fglrx in there too | 20:02 |
| cnd | ricotz, RAOF (and maybe others) are handling anything non-input related | 20:03 |
| cnd | I don't really know about anything outside of input :) | 20:03 |
| ricotz | alright ;) | 20:03 |
| tjaalton | ricotz: the version in precise should already handle the new abi | 20:08 |
| tjaalton | unless it needs a rebuild to fix the deps | 20:09 |
| ricotz | tjaalton, yes, just a rebuild is needed | 20:10 |
| ricotz | but an update would be nice too since there is a newer upstream | 20:10 |
| ricotz | same goes for nvidia | 20:11 |
| tjaalton | tseliot will handle updates | 20:12 |
| tjaalton | in january :) | 20:12 |
| tjaalton | ie. before those are pushed to precise | 20:12 |
| ricotz | alright | 20:13 |
| === dzan is now known as dzan|away | ||
| cnd | tjaalton, unity is built | 21:05 |
| cnd | have you had a chance to test? | 21:06 |
| tjaalton | cnd: upgrading.. | 21:07 |
| cnd | tjaalton, there *may* be an issue with evdev in the ppa right now | 21:07 |
| cnd | but I think it should work if you aren't using a multitouch device | 21:08 |
| cnd | it needs to be rebuilt after xorg-server is built in the ppa | 21:08 |
| tjaalton | seems to work fine otherwise, but compiz takes all the cpu | 21:08 |
| cnd | I get: | 21:10 |
| cnd | Xorg: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/evdev_drv.so: undefined symbol: InitTouchClassDeviceStruct | 21:10 |
| cnd | which is what I expect | 21:10 |
| tjaalton | huh, works here | 21:11 |
| tjaalton | unity-2d loads, apart from the dock | 21:13 |
| cnd | ok | 21:14 |
| tjaalton | ah, unity-2d-launcher taking 100% cpu :) | 21:18 |
| RAOF | tjaalton: Yeah, unity-2d-launcher *also* hates missing multitouch/gestures it seems :) | 21:18 |
| tjaalton | at least the upgrade itself was rather uneventful | 21:19 |
| RAOF | ricotz: There's already a build on nvidia-current in there; there will be fglrx & the rest of the drivers in there before they land in precise. | 21:20 |
| ricotz | RAOF, hi, yeah i figured that, just didnt know when it will be moved | 21:23 |
| RAOF | Not before Christmas :) | 21:26 |
| ricotz | yeah no more breaks for this year! :) | 21:34 |
| cnd | once evdev rebuilds in the ppa it should be all ready for testing | 22:32 |
| cnd | and it should have multitouch for touchscreens | 22:32 |
| cnd | \o/ | 22:32 |
| bryceh | cnd, sweet, ping us once it's ready | 22:33 |
| cnd | tjaalton, unity-2d probably crashes because qt's multitouch code is now incompatible with the upstream XI implementation | 22:53 |
| cnd | I'll probably upload a new qt with the patch commented out | 22:53 |
| tjaalton | i'll just wait for evdev though :) | 22:53 |
| tjaalton | to build | 22:53 |
| tjaalton | though maybe I'll just check it in the morning | 22:59 |
| tjaalton | oh, building.. | 23:05 |
| tjaalton | cnd: ok so the same still happens with these, will check in the morning if there's a new qt available :) | 23:27 |
