[00:22] dekarl: oh weird.. [00:22] hmm, so its working for you? [15:11] dekarl: i'll have to try again, i haven' done it for a bit [16:31] 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". [17:33] dekarl: can you pastebin terminal output from next time it happens? maybe pipe output into tee or something [17:33] otherwise when i get a round to it i'll try to reproduce too [17:36] np, http://paste.ubuntu.com/896727/ [17:36] [paste.ubuntu.com] Ubuntu Pastebin [17:36] superm1 -^ [17:37] its only a simulated compile error (CTRL+C) but was reproducable [17:37] ah... [17:37] so this probably started showing up shortly after that patch you provided to fix mythweb paths [17:38] maybe, might as well be due to mythweb's master changing and the patches needing some fudging [17:38] but you seem to have picked up the track either way :) [19:06] dekarl: thanx for mythfilldb hint, works now :) [19:07] ahh, cool :) [19:11] 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) [19:13] stuartm: easiest way is to increase the free space in mythtv-setup [19:13] I think in the general section [19:13] stuartm: i'm assuming this is a standard gnome (or unity) type install? [19:18] superm1: no, mythbuntu [19:19] stuartm: oh interesting. i'm wondering what would cause that popup even [19:19] any chance you have a screenshot so i can see what it looks like might be showing it? [19:19] rhpot1991: right, but that would be a complete waste of space - I want to use every MB for recording :) [19:20] 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] Ohh, what is this filesystem that does not get dog slow once it fills up past a certain threshold? :) [19:20] stuartm: hmm. ok. i'll try to think what it could be [19:21] stuartm: I agree with dekarl you are opening yourself up to bad fragmentation doing this [19:21] also I like to leave extra space for when I drop a file out there by hand or something [19:23] 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] 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] grep says it might have something to do with being recording to the database/system drive though [19:25] dekarl: ya you don't want to fill up a drive that has mysql on it, bad things will happen [19:44] I don't recall seeing any popups on mine and I should have a pretty slim recordings drive right now. what distro release? [19:45] actually nm [19:45] I have a separate backend/frontend [19:45] Still want to know the distro release version [19:45] and a screenshot of the popup [19:46] stuartm, ^ [19:47] I've seen similar with an updates popup, but that was quite a few releases ago [19:54] 11.04 apparently [19:58] ok, i'm running a test on ubuntu 11.10 now [19:59] stuartm, how much free space did you have left before you saw the error? [19:59] 90MB [20:00] 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 [20:01] mythtv checks every 15 minutes I think [20:01] rhpot1991, this would be an external to mythtv popup [20:02] tgm4883: I know, I'm saying in case there is an overlap [20:02] i'm hoping this triggers the popup when it reaches that limit [20:02] I'm just doing cat /dev/urandom > test [20:02] heh was just typing out similar [20:03] I should have made a smaller vm, I've still got about 7GB to fill [20:03] hopefully mythtv doesn't clean it up faster than you can spawn it out [20:04] mythtv won't delete files created externally, only the ones it knows about because they are in the database [20:05] rhpot1991, yea, this isn't even a mythtv box [20:05] stuartm: yep, I was assuming it was a test box that he had some mythtv related things in [20:05] I didn't have a mythtv ISO handy, and I figured it was external popup anyway [20:05] I'll get a screenshot and stuartm can confirm if that is what he is seeing [20:19] stuartm, was it this http://imagebin.org/204877 [20:19] [imagebin.org] Imagebin - A place to slap up your images. [20:22] 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] ... then that's what I'm looking for (to complete what I was trying to say there) [20:24] I'm not sure if that was there in 11.04 or not [20:24] superm1, ^^ do we want to look at disabling this notification by default? [20:28] tgm4883: i'm really unsure why that notification came in ubuntu in the first place [20:28] i'm not sure what application is doing it [20:28] *mythbuntu [20:29] superm1, a quick search says gnome-settings-daemon [20:29] well we dont have gnome-settings-daemon on mythbuntu though... [20:29] * tgm4883 shrugs [20:29] stuartm, ^^ [20:29] do you have that installed? [20:30] well installed doesn't matter - it's more if it's running that it would matter [20:30] and if it's running, that might be an even bigger problem [20:31] * tgm4883 shrugs [20:31] tgm4883: yes, it's installed and not marked as a manual install, i.e. I didn't install it myself for some reason [20:32] hmm [20:32] superm1, can we find what he installed that pulled it in? [20:33] that old release used it for the gdm session i believe [20:33] it's not used anymore [20:33] but so is it actually running? [20:33] he's on 11.10? [20:33] he was on 11.04? [20:33] ah thats right [20:36] I'm assuming this would work 'ps aux | grep gnome-settings-daemon' [20:36] stuartm, ^^ [20:36] that works on the 11.10 ubuntu machine I just tested this on [20:37] it doesn't here, seems to because the process names are truncated, ps only displays "gnome-settings-" [20:38] sorry, it does work ... typo [20:38] * stuartm hangs his head in shame [20:38] stuartm, it lists more than just the grep line? [20:39] yes [20:39] :/ [20:39] stuartm, was this an upgrade from an older version? [20:39] or fresh 11.10 install? [20:39] err 11.04 [20:39] gbee 2059 0.0 0.7 372624 20028 ? Ssl Mar13 1:33 /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon [20:39] yea that seems to be running [20:40] well that's pretty bizarre then [20:40] tgm4883: upgrade from an older version, maybe two upgrades, it's been a while since I did a fresh install of anything [20:40] 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] just wasn't killed when you logged in [20:44] probably won't help, since I killed it just before you asked ... :) I can restart it later when it's not in use [20:46] aux or auxf (presuming the latter)? [20:47] oh yeah auxf would be far better [20:48] assuming it's spawned by the gdm process, it's fixed in later releases by switching to lightdm [20:48] and that's assuming that's what is causing the low space error too [20:51] 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] my production machine gets very little attention [20:52] well the jump 11.04 to 11.10 does cause some upgrade problems too [20:52] specifically with that lightdm transition [20:53] we'll see next time it crops up for you what the best approach is [21:10] dekarl: so the weird thing with that failure of yours is that it should have called quilt pop -a to clean up those patches [21:11] failed build or not [21:11] i wonder if that call is failing though because of the bzr clean-tree --force call [21:11] could you set -x with it and pastebin that output? [21:12] can see if quilt pop even gets reached [22:35] superm1: set -x ?
