| superm1 | dekarl: oh weird.. | 00:22 |
|---|---|---|
| dekarl | hmm, so its working for you? | 00:22 |
| superm1 | dekarl: i'll have to try again, i haven' done it for a bit | 15:11 |
| dekarl | superm1: no problem. Its just a bit annoying as I tend to forget to cleanup when trying again. But in the end its "nice to have". Btw, compiling with the script and 1/2/3 patches works like a charm. I'm looking forward to the automated master+patch builder. Been thinking about how to interface that with trac to make patch testing by end users "super easy". | 16:31 |
| superm1 | dekarl: can you pastebin terminal output from next time it happens? maybe pipe output into tee or something | 17:33 |
| superm1 | otherwise when i get a round to it i'll try to reproduce too | 17:33 |
| dekarl | np, http://paste.ubuntu.com/896727/ | 17:36 |
| Zinn | [paste.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu Pastebin | 17:36 |
| dekarl | superm1 -^ | 17:36 |
| dekarl | its only a simulated compile error (CTRL+C) but was reproducable | 17:37 |
| superm1 | ah... | 17:37 |
| superm1 | so this probably started showing up shortly after that patch you provided to fix mythweb paths | 17:37 |
| dekarl | maybe, might as well be due to mythweb's master changing and the patches needing some fudging | 17:38 |
| dekarl | but you seem to have picked up the track either way :) | 17:38 |
| hpeter | dekarl: thanx for mythfilldb hint, works now :) | 19:06 |
| dekarl | ahh, cool :) | 19:07 |
| stuartm | how do I stop ubuntu popping up a warning over mythfrontend about being short on disk space (this isn't even the root partition but a drive dedicated to recordings) | 19:11 |
| rhpot1991 | stuartm: easiest way is to increase the free space in mythtv-setup | 19:13 |
| rhpot1991 | I think in the general section | 19:13 |
| superm1 | stuartm: i'm assuming this is a standard gnome (or unity) type install? | 19:13 |
| stuartm | superm1: no, mythbuntu | 19:18 |
| superm1 | stuartm: oh interesting. i'm wondering what would cause that popup even | 19:19 |
| superm1 | any chance you have a screenshot so i can see what it looks like might be showing it? | 19:19 |
| stuartm | rhpot1991: right, but that would be a complete waste of space - I want to use every MB for recording :) | 19:19 |
| stuartm | superm1: I've dismissed the popup for now, so no, but it was a gnome style 'OK' popup warning that there was just 89MB free on that partition | 19:20 |
| dekarl | Ohh, what is this filesystem that does not get dog slow once it fills up past a certain threshold? :) | 19:20 |
| superm1 | stuartm: hmm. ok. i'll try to think what it could be | 19:20 |
| rhpot1991 | stuartm: I agree with dekarl you are opening yourself up to bad fragmentation doing this | 19:21 |
| rhpot1991 | also I like to leave extra space for when I drop a file out there by hand or something | 19:21 |
| dekarl | I'm at or below 1% free on ext4 and mythtv keeps shouting at me regularly because writes take so long. 1% at 2TB is still 20GB | 19:23 |
| stuartm | rhpot1991: never the less, ubuntu shouldn't be prompting users about free space with dialogues over the top of mythfrontend that can't be dismissed with a remote | 19:23 |
| dekarl | grep says it might have something to do with being recording to the database/system drive though | 19:23 |
| rhpot1991 | dekarl: ya you don't want to fill up a drive that has mysql on it, bad things will happen | 19:25 |
| tgm4883 | I don't recall seeing any popups on mine and I should have a pretty slim recordings drive right now. what distro release? | 19:44 |
| tgm4883 | actually nm | 19:45 |
| tgm4883 | I have a separate backend/frontend | 19:45 |
| tgm4883 | Still want to know the distro release version | 19:45 |
| tgm4883 | and a screenshot of the popup | 19:45 |
| tgm4883 | stuartm, ^ | 19:46 |
| rhpot1991 | I've seen similar with an updates popup, but that was quite a few releases ago | 19:47 |
| stuartm | 11.04 apparently | 19:54 |
| tgm4883 | ok, i'm running a test on ubuntu 11.10 now | 19:58 |
| tgm4883 | stuartm, how much free space did you have left before you saw the error? | 19:59 |
| stuartm | 90MB | 19:59 |
| stuartm | I'm guessing that it's not constantly checking, possibly a once or twice per day type thing, the warning was on-screen when I turned on the TV for the first time today | 20:00 |
| rhpot1991 | mythtv checks every 15 minutes I think | 20:01 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, this would be an external to mythtv popup | 20:01 |
| rhpot1991 | tgm4883: I know, I'm saying in case there is an overlap | 20:02 |
| tgm4883 | i'm hoping this triggers the popup when it reaches that limit | 20:02 |
| tgm4883 | I'm just doing cat /dev/urandom > test | 20:02 |
| rhpot1991 | heh was just typing out similar | 20:02 |
| tgm4883 | I should have made a smaller vm, I've still got about 7GB to fill | 20:03 |
| rhpot1991 | hopefully mythtv doesn't clean it up faster than you can spawn it out | 20:03 |
| stuartm | mythtv won't delete files created externally, only the ones it knows about because they are in the database | 20:04 |
| tgm4883 | rhpot1991, yea, this isn't even a mythtv box | 20:05 |
| rhpot1991 | stuartm: yep, I was assuming it was a test box that he had some mythtv related things in | 20:05 |
| tgm4883 | I didn't have a mythtv ISO handy, and I figured it was external popup anyway | 20:05 |
| tgm4883 | I'll get a screenshot and stuartm can confirm if that is what he is seeing | 20:05 |
| tgm4883 | stuartm, was it this http://imagebin.org/204877 | 20:19 |
| Zinn | [imagebin.org] Imagebin - A place to slap up your images. | 20:19 |
| stuartm | tgm4883: yes ... fwiw I'm just noticing the 'do no show warning again', not sure if that was present for 11.04 but even so if I can disable it entirely for all filesystems and prevent future popups for all partitions | 20:22 |
| stuartm | ... then that's what I'm looking for (to complete what I was trying to say there) | 20:22 |
| tgm4883 | I'm not sure if that was there in 11.04 or not | 20:24 |
| tgm4883 | superm1, ^^ do we want to look at disabling this notification by default? | 20:24 |
| superm1 | tgm4883: i'm really unsure why that notification came in ubuntu in the first place | 20:28 |
| superm1 | i'm not sure what application is doing it | 20:28 |
| superm1 | *mythbuntu | 20:28 |
| tgm4883 | superm1, a quick search says gnome-settings-daemon | 20:29 |
| superm1 | well we dont have gnome-settings-daemon on mythbuntu though... | 20:29 |
| * tgm4883 shrugs | 20:29 | |
| tgm4883 | stuartm, ^^ | 20:29 |
| tgm4883 | do you have that installed? | 20:29 |
| superm1 | well installed doesn't matter - it's more if it's running that it would matter | 20:30 |
| superm1 | and if it's running, that might be an even bigger problem | 20:30 |
| * tgm4883 shrugs | 20:31 | |
| stuartm | tgm4883: yes, it's installed and not marked as a manual install, i.e. I didn't install it myself for some reason | 20:31 |
| tgm4883 | hmm | 20:32 |
| tgm4883 | superm1, can we find what he installed that pulled it in? | 20:32 |
| superm1 | that old release used it for the gdm session i believe | 20:33 |
| superm1 | it's not used anymore | 20:33 |
| superm1 | but so is it actually running? | 20:33 |
| tgm4883 | he's on 11.10? | 20:33 |
| superm1 | he was on 11.04? | 20:33 |
| tgm4883 | ah thats right | 20:33 |
| tgm4883 | I'm assuming this would work 'ps aux | grep gnome-settings-daemon' | 20:36 |
| tgm4883 | stuartm, ^^ | 20:36 |
| tgm4883 | that works on the 11.10 ubuntu machine I just tested this on | 20:36 |
| stuartm | it doesn't here, seems to because the process names are truncated, ps only displays "gnome-settings-" | 20:37 |
| stuartm | sorry, it does work ... typo | 20:38 |
| * stuartm hangs his head in shame | 20:38 | |
| tgm4883 | stuartm, it lists more than just the grep line? | 20:38 |
| stuartm | yes | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | :/ | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | stuartm, was this an upgrade from an older version? | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | or fresh 11.10 install? | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | err 11.04 | 20:39 |
| stuartm | gbee 2059 0.0 0.7 372624 20028 ? Ssl Mar13 1:33 /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon | 20:39 |
| tgm4883 | yea that seems to be running | 20:39 |
| superm1 | well that's pretty bizarre then | 20:40 |
| stuartm | tgm4883: upgrade from an older version, maybe two upgrades, it's been a while since I did a fresh install of anything | 20:40 |
| superm1 | can you provide the whole output of ps aux in a pastebin? i'm wondering if that's the process spawned from gdm | 20:40 |
| superm1 | just wasn't killed when you logged in | 20:40 |
| stuartm | probably won't help, since I killed it just before you asked ... :) I can restart it later when it's not in use | 20:44 |
| stuartm | aux or auxf (presuming the latter)? | 20:46 |
| superm1 | oh yeah auxf would be far better | 20:47 |
| superm1 | assuming it's spawned by the gdm process, it's fixed in later releases by switching to lightdm | 20:48 |
| superm1 | and that's assuming that's what is causing the low space error too | 20:48 |
| stuartm | I don't mind upgrading if that will 'fix' it, I've just avoided it before now because there was no particular reason to do so before today | 20:51 |
| stuartm | my production machine gets very little attention | 20:51 |
| superm1 | well the jump 11.04 to 11.10 does cause some upgrade problems too | 20:52 |
| superm1 | specifically with that lightdm transition | 20:52 |
| superm1 | we'll see next time it crops up for you what the best approach is | 20:53 |
| superm1 | dekarl: so the weird thing with that failure of yours is that it should have called quilt pop -a to clean up those patches | 21:10 |
| superm1 | failed build or not | 21:11 |
| superm1 | i wonder if that call is failing though because of the bzr clean-tree --force call | 21:11 |
| superm1 | could you set -x with it and pastebin that output? | 21:11 |
| superm1 | can see if quilt pop even gets reached | 21:12 |
| dekarl | superm1: set -x ? | 22:35 |
