pittiGood morning06:07
pittiRiddell: btw, I bought a DisplayPort/HDMI -> DVI adapter to use my new laptop with my old monitor (unless you want to replace your monitor anyway)06:08
RAOFUnless you need an active connector, the DP→DVI cable should be of negligable cost :)06:10
pittiyes, it was some 20 EUR06:10
RAOFpitti: What's the likelyhood of a MIR or two going through at this stage?  I presume it's on the low side.06:24
pittiRAOF: pretty much depends on what it is for and the kind of package06:25
pittiwe can't avoid some, but we of course want to reduce them to a minimum06:25
RAOFIt'd be for google-test and libgtest-xorg; if we want some extra build-time tests in the Xserver.06:25
pittithat seems fine06:26
pittimore tests are always good06:26
* RAOF will have to get onto that, then.06:28
didrocksgood morning06:35
robert_ancellpitti, I'm writing a regression test for bug 877766 - it appears that the root user can have chdir rejected. a) WTF?!  b) do you know of other cases I should test for06:36
ubot2`Launchpad bug 877766 in lightdm "lightdm login fails with NFS home and strict (mode 0700) permissions" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/87776606:36
robert_ancelldoes that mean you literally can't cd from bash on a system like this?06:36
pittirobert_ancell: yes, NFS usually uses root_squash06:41
pittiso root can't do anything06:41
pittiwhich absolutely makes sense for a remote fs :)06:41
robert_ancellpitti, so the kernel knows everything about the filesystem, but it doesn't let the root user know?06:42
pittirobert_ancell: I think having a test case with a 0700 home dir, and perhaps an ecryptfs one, sounds good; it's a relatively strong case and checks that you don't make too many assumptions about the home dir, especially before PAM unlocking06:42
pittirobert_ancell: I think it's more like that the NFS server doesn't accept "root" as a remote user06:43
robert_ancellpitti, oh, I see06:43
pittirobert_ancell: it's not unlike ssh -- as root on the client you don't automatically have access to all user accounts on a remote server06:43
robert_ancellso it should only be chdir/read/write that are affected?06:44
pittinow, NFS allows root more than ssh does06:44
pittirobert_ancell: as root you can still handle world-readable/writable files06:44
pittiand dirs06:44
pittibut as root you are effectively "nobody" on NFS06:44
robert_ancellaha06:44
pitti(that's literally the account it uses, I think)06:44
robert_ancellI was reading the docs on this but it was a little jargony06:45
pittiI used NFS in my university, but it's been a while06:45
=== tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter
Riddellpitti: DisplayPort/HDMI -> DVI connector does me no good for a VGA monitor08:36
pittiRiddell: ah, sure :) I had assumed you used DVI08:37
RAOFYou *can* get DP→VGA connectors, but they're active and so cost quite close to a new (crappy) monitor.08:42

seb128pitti, weird that none of your rebuilt from yesterday are listed there09:01

seb128is the list clever enough to filter stuff that actual have a receiving side on launchpad ?09:02
pittiseb128: so I guess it's clever enough to only count bugs which have a task for that source?09:02

seb128chrisccoulson,  I'm good, a bit tired though09:49
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, i know that feeling :)09:49

chrisccoulsonwow, precise-fixes-report makes it look like i don't do anything useful ;)09:50
seb128updated to the current unity from the ppa, glad that they fixed the alt tap stuff, my go to ws1 ws2 ws3 are alt based and I kept opening the hud before09:50
seb128chrisccoulson, heh, we have quite some desktop bugs waiting for you if you want to pick it up ;-)09:51
seb128chrisccoulson, but don't worry, I'm sure everybody appreciate having a working uptodate firefox and tb ;-)09:51
chrisccoulsonseb128, i still have quite some firefox bugs too, like dropping the libgnome requirement :(09:51
* seb128 hugs chrisccoulson09:51
chrisccoulsoni'm going to do that one today though09:51
pittiseb128: these retracer crashes are indeed quite interesting, I did an analysis in bug 943117 (you don't need to read if you aren't interested, of course)09:51
ubot2`Launchpad bug 943117 in apport "retracer crashes on wrong duplication" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/94311709:51
* chrisccoulson hugs seb12809:51
seb128pitti, oh, I'm interested, looking ;-)09:52
pittiseb128: just look at the last comment, the previous ones are boring analysis09:52
chrisccoulsonhmmm, i'm really liking mercurial patch queues :)09:53
seb128interesting09:54
seb128chrisccoulson, how do they work?09:54
pittiseb128: so, we currently assert on "new bug is a dupe of A with address sigs and a dupe of B with symbolic sigs"09:55
chrisccoulsonseb128, it's basically just quilt09:55
pittiseb128: (the cautious approach)09:55
chrisccoulsonit's designed to allow you to break up work in to multiple patches09:55
pittiseb128: but so far all of the bugs I looked at actually turned out that A was a dupe of B which we didn't originally detect as such"09:55
chrisccoulsonseb128, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mercurial_Queues09:55
seb128chrisccoulson, thanks09:56
chrisccoulsonalthough, you don't need an extension now. it's built in to newer versions of mercurial09:56
seb128pitti, why do you need to stop on those? worth cases we have a dup not marked as such and 2 master bugs for the same issue?09:56
seb128pitti, doesn't seem worth stopping the retracers on?09:56
pittiseb128: well, that's the bug09:56
seb128ok09:56
pittiseb128: I originally added this when we introduced address sigs, to ensure that we don't process a thousand bugs with a flawed algorithm09:57
pittiseb128: but now that we have some experience/trust with it, we can be more bold, I think09:57
seb128right09:57
pittiand consider either capable of identifying dupes09:57
pittis/either/both/09:57
seb128do you know why they didn't get detected as dup from the start if their signature match?09:58
seb128or is that only the symbol sig matching?09:58
pittiseb128: yes, I wrote in the bug -- neither of the sigs matched09:58
seb128i.e not the address sig?09:58
pittiseb128: it's the third bug which matches the address sig of A and symbolic sig of B09:58
seb128oh ok, right, I see09:58
pittiseb128: but both address and symbolic sig of A != B09:58
pittiseb128: that's what I called "interesting"09:59
seb128it's a bit of a special case, I'm surprised it happens so often in practice09:59
chrisccoulsonmvo, around?09:59
seb128glatzor, hey09:59
pittiseb128: well, most cases actually were because I changed the symbolic sigs in the middle -- still remember the __add_sse24() stuff?09:59
pittiseb128: that doesn't seem to be the case in this synaptic crash, though09:59
seb128pitti, yeah I remember those10:00
pittiseb128: so most of the fallout was that the dupe DBs got inconsistent because we changed the symbolic algorithm10:00
pittibut still I think it's reasonably safe to just make all three duplicates10:00
seb128+110:00
pittiwhich will cancel out the noise from each other's approach10:01
pittiseb128: effectively that's what we did manually anyway -- we looked at the log's assertion message and manually duped10:01
pitti(at least that's what I did)10:01
seb128I didn't because I was unsure what to do with those, I just called you for you help ;-)10:02
seb128pitti, thanks for the explanations10:02
seb128and +1 from me for just dupping things in those cases10:02
pittiwhat a brain tangler10:03
mvochrisccoulson: yes, but in a call10:05
mvopitti: what synaptic crash? I fixed one this morning10:05
chrisccoulsonmvo, sure, no problem. i can wait until you're finished :)10:05
pittimvo: bug 93667710:05
ubot2`Launchpad bug 936677 in synaptic "synaptic crashed with SIGSEGV" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/93667710:05
pittimvo: but I'm mostly talking about the apport  retracer duplicate identification10:06
mvochrisccoulson: if you write the question here I can think about it during the call in a background thread10:08
chrisccoulsonmvo - is there a "correct" way to enable extra software channels (such as partner). say, for example, i want to offer the adobe flashplugin from the partner repo to users the first time they go to youtube10:09
chrisccoulsoni looked at what apturl does, but that seems a little bit hacky10:09
chrisccoulsonand it doesn't look like software-center does it either10:09
micahgchrisccoulson: um, you might have a policy issue with that  unless you're only doing it if partner is enabled10:10
chrisccoulsonmicahg, we would enable partner10:10
micahgchrisccoulson: you can't do that AIUI without explicit consent10:10
chrisccoulsonmicahg, yes, i'm well aware of that already10:11
mvochrisccoulson: you could call sofware-center it has code for this, I don't think the code is extracted to something else10:11
chrisccoulsonmvo, hmm, i tried looking in software-center already. mind pointing me in the right direction? :)10:12
chrisccoulsoni'd like to try and do this without running software-center if possible, and it's pretty easy for me to display the eula in firefox already10:12
micahgchrisccoulson: also, why not just encourage people to enable the HTML5 trial?10:12
chrisccoulsonmicahg, how?10:13
micahgthat is if youtube is the use case10:13
micahgyoutube.com/html510:13
chrisccoulsonmicahg, how do you encourage users who have gone to youtube to do that?10:13
micahgI'll have to test that next time I have a VM up, I think youtube might actually do that already10:14
chrisccoulsonit didn't the last time i tried it10:14
micahgyou could just show a link to enable the trial the same way you'd ask to enable partner10:14
chrisccoulsonin addition to the fact that a lot of video's still don't work with it10:14
micahgah, if some videos don't work, I guess that's not a universal solution10:15
chrisccoulsonmicahg, adding website specific hacks to the plugin finder doesn't seem like a great solution10:15
chrisccoulsonin fact, that would probably be more work10:15
rickspencer3dobey, et al. is there documentation somewhere for how I should import desktopcouch into a python app with goi these days?10:17
micahgchrisccoulson: sorry, that's what I thought you were doing ;)10:17
pittirickspencer3: are there significant API differences when you move to gir1.2-desktopcouch-1.0?10:19
rickspencer3pitti, I doubt it10:19

pittirickspencer3: I can't find anything resembling a Record class, though10:23
rickspencer3pitti, I can stumble around some more iPython10:23
pittirickspencer3: "Couchdb" has {get,set}_record_type() methods in the Document class10:23
pittirickspencer3: good luck!10:24
rickspencer3ooh, that sounds ugly10:24
rickspencer3maybe I should just dump couchgrid and write sqlitegrid instead10:24
pittigiven that we don't love couchdb any more, that might be nice indeed :)10:25
rickspencer3let me see how hard this is to port10:26
rickspencer3I've been meaning to do a sqlite implementation anyway10:26
AfC"we don't love couchdb anymore"?10:28
AfC(not trolling, just asking)10:28

seb128cyphermox, ;-)14:44
cyphermoxpitti: are you familiar with the procedure for debugging an issue such as the nm-applet 10Hz polling? would it be useful if I blog about my findings on how to match these poll calls to potential things to look at in Gtk apps? :)14:44
pitticyphermox: I'm not really familiar how to map a poll() call in strace back to a piece of C14:45
pitticyphermox: it took me three hours and tons of printf() statements in notify-osd to figure it out (but I believe that was an exceptionally hard case14:45
cyphermoxpitti: what I found seems to be very specific to Gtk but I think I've seen a pattern14:45
pittisince it was deep within a rather unexpected library14:46
cyphermoxperhaps it doesn't map to other things than nm-applet but I'll write this down in a blog post for planet, in case somebody else can use it14:46
pittithat sounds useful indeed14:46
cyphermoxthis specific poll was matching very closely to g_idle_add() and g_timeout_add() calls14:47
pitticyphermox: that would certainly be the most obvious candidate14:47
cyphermoxthe issue ultimately isn't caused by it, but it helps a lot in finding the root cause14:47
pittiif you have a timeout_add with the same frequency, and the wakeups change if you change that timeout_add, you got it14:48
cyphermoxyup14:48
seb128cyphermox, desrt might be a good person to ask if he has an idea about what in gtk could do that 10Hz polling14:49

dupondjeyep, gedit asks password after sending the print task21:51
seb128yeah, libreoffice bug then21:52
dupondjeand a quite crap one :) not able to print from a office application :D21:52
ricotzdupondje, are you using the printing-dialog of libreoffice?21:52
ricotzyou can switch between native and LibO dialogs in settings21:53
ricotz(or at least this is suppose to be possible)21:54
seb128ricotz, hey, sorry I was away when you pinged earlier21:58
seb128ricotz, no, I didn't deal with gstreamer0.11 yet but it's on my list ;-)21:58
dupondjehmz lets see21:59
ricotzseb128, i see -- yeah, i was hoping to draw pitti into it too21:59
ricotz;)21:59
seb128ricotz, you pinged too later for that, try earlier tomorrow ;-)21:59
seb128pitti is starting early to he finishes early as well22:00
dupondjeseb128: I disabled LibreOffice dialogs, but that doesn't change a thing22:01
dupondjenot to the dialog :p not to the bug22:01
ricotzseb128, jbicha, the clutter/cogl is targetting in favor of gnome-shell, but if g-s introduces new deps like the new gnome-keryring lib gcr 3.3.90 this might get a blocker22:01
ricotzseb128, gnome-keyring was decided to keep it on 3.2.x?22:01
seb128ricotz, yes, rather because it was quite some work and some changes for no good reason than because it was an issue22:02
stgraberI'm sure we have gtk experts in the room, right?22:02
seb128no we don't22:02
stgraber:)22:03
seb128we have mostly people slackers who like to drink coffee and chat on IRC ;-)22:03
seb128having an issue?22:03
stgraberkind of, gtk main loop issues in ubiquity22:03
seb128ricotz, I doubt we will want the new cogl, clutter anyway22:03
stgraberam I wrong to assume that calling Gtk.main_quit() is going to decrement Gtk.main_level()?22:03
seb128desrt, ^22:04
stgraberI have a bit of code in ubiquity that I could summarize as:22:04
stgraberwhile Gtk.main_level() != 0: Gtk.main_quit()22:04
ricotzseb128, i guess a lot of people want it ;)22:04
seb128sorry that's the sort of stuff I never looked at, I don't had to deal with main_level ;-)22:05
desrtstgraber: yes22:05
stgraberand that's giving me an infinite loop because apparently in this case, calling main_quit() doesn't decrement main_level() (or from what I can see, exit at all)22:05
seb128ricotz, yeah, the world is like that, there is enough people that want anything you can suggest doing22:05
desrtstgraber: the main level is the number of nested mainloops22:05
desrtmain_quit() doesn't instantly quit a mainloop.  it just marks the outer-most one to stop running when it is returned to22:05
seb128ricotz, I'm sure there is enough people who would like ubuntu to stop being active as well22:05
seb128;-)22:06
seb128enough->lot22:06
ricotzseb128, alright, still this stuff is getting some testing and it doesnt interfere with unity22:06
stgraberdesrt: hmm, ok, then I have to figure out why my main loop doesn't want to die when I tell it to ...22:07
ricotzseb128, but cogl is a bit happily bumping sonames lately which made it harder to actually begin with it22:08
seb128ricotz, it's still lot of work and we are almost a month after feature freeze22:08
seb128ricotz, also somebody needs to ensure that all the rdepends are fine with it, like our champlain version for example22:08
ricotzseb128, that's right, all the currently untouched things needs to be rebuild maybe in gnome3 ppa22:09
ricotzjbicha, ^22:10
seb128ricotz, built and runtime tested22:10
stgraberdesrt: the case I have in ubiquity is a user moving between entries in a list, changing the selection exits the main loop, jump into some obscure debconf code, then start the main loop again22:11
stgraberdesrt: doing that very quickly (as in, just keeping your "up" key pressed) leads in a case where the main loop doesn't want to quit22:11
stgraberdesrt: any idea on how I'd debug this? (sadly redesigning the whole thing isn't on the agenda for 12.04 as weird as the whole concept might be)22:12
dupondjedamn want to report libreoffice bug and apport-bug crashes now :p22:51
