| joanie | Hey guys. Is it a known issue that unity-greeter events go AWOL? | 21:16 |
| joanie | translation: Orca cain't present it if Orca doesn't know about it. | 21:16 |
| joanie | AlanBell, TheMuso, and anyone else who cares: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/971926 | 21:37 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 971926 in unity-greeter "Accessible events stop being emitted after exploring menu" [Undecided,New] | 21:37 |
| joanie | Aside from the bug itself.... | 21:37 |
| joanie | You will find there a tester I hope will prove of value to you | 21:37 |
| joanie | it's quick and dirty: mv /usr/bin/orca and put this script in its place | 21:38 |
| joanie | it will dump out key presses, key releases and the most essential accessible events (or in this case the lack thereof) | 21:38 |
| joanie | and will hopefully be a way for you to answer "Why isn't Orca doing such and such?" | 21:39 |
| AlanBell | that is nice joanie | 21:45 |
| joanie | :) | 21:45 |
| joanie | I also tried to add enough stuff to make it re-usable and tweakable and such by your team | 21:46 |
| joanie | and as questions come up about tweaking, I can answer those | 21:46 |
| joanie | and hopefully you'll wind up with some tools for your team to dig into this stuff without having to know the ins and outs of at-spi2, etc. | 21:47 |
| TheMuso | joanie: Yeah I filed a similar bug last week. I suspect that since window management is not being used, something is breaking somewhere. | 22:01 |
| TheMuso | because in test mode, unity-greeter works properly. | 22:01 |
| TheMuso | Test mode is designed to run in a user's session in a window. | 22:02 |
| joanie | TheMuso: Hmmm. In test mode does the bug I just filed not occur? | 22:13 |
| joanie | because in that case things start out right | 22:13 |
| joanie | and then stop being right | 22:13 |
| TheMuso | joanie: I know. | 22:25 |
| * TheMuso tests in test mode once again. | 22:25 | |
| TheMuso | joanie: yeah works fine in test mode | 22:26 |
| joanie | weird | 22:26 |
| * joanie googles for test mode | 22:27 | |
| TheMuso | joanie: unity-greeter --test-mode | 22:27 |
| TheMuso | in your logged in session. | 22:27 |
| joanie | ha! | 22:27 |
| * joanie gives it a try | 22:28 | |
| joanie | guest account has a password? | 22:28 |
| TheMuso | All those accounts in the test mode are bogus. | 22:28 |
| joanie | no | 22:28 |
| joanie | sorry | 22:28 |
| joanie | lemme 'splain | 22:28 |
| joanie | This computer is my fedora box | 22:29 |
| joanie | so I went to my laptop | 22:29 |
| joanie | screen had locked | 22:29 |
| joanie | I am being prompted for a password for the guest account | 22:29 |
| joanie | I tried an empty password and that failed | 22:29 |
| joanie | this is not test mode | 22:29 |
| TheMuso | ohhhh | 22:37 |
| TheMuso | bug time. :) | 22:37 |
| joanie | so this isn't a known issue. ;) | 22:38 |
| * joanie searches lp | 22:38 | |
| joanie | already here | 22:39 |
| joanie | and old | 22:39 |
| joanie | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/818335 | 22:39 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 818335 in gnome-screensaver "Blank password is invalid on unlock screen" [Undecided,New] | 22:39 |
| TheMuso | Right. | 22:44 |
| joanie | TheMuso: Finally tried test-mode. It segfaults. | 23:14 |
| TheMuso | joanie: How did you test it? I was testing with Orca running, and I didn't enable orca from within the greeter. | 23:15 |
| joanie | in other news, apparently Orca's flat review mode doesn't like unity-greeter. | 23:15 |
| joanie | I launched a terminal, Orca wasn't running. I typed 'unity-greeter --test-mode' | 23:15 |
| joanie | it spewed debug output, did the little drum sound, and promptly killed itself | 23:16 |
| TheMuso | And it segfaulted? | 23:16 |
| joanie | yessir | 23:16 |
| joanie | don't you love release season? ;) | 23:16 |
| TheMuso | Interesting. I am running latest precise, nothign custom installed here. | 23:16 |
| joanie | well, I am first going to stop the Orca flat review bad behavior if I can | 23:16 |
| TheMuso | Works every time when I run in test mode. | 23:16 |
| joanie | I think I can | 23:16 |
| TheMuso | Ok. | 23:17 |
