RAOFGrrrr.02:18
RAOFgnome-keyring-daemon changing its interface out from under the libraries is annoying.02:18
TheMusoRAOF: YOu mean things like the ssh agent no longer working kinda change?02:39
dobeyoh fun. i bet it breaks ubuntu-sso-client again too02:40
RAOFTheMuso: Correct.02:42
TheMusoYeah, fun times.02:43
RAOFTheMuso: And all my launchpadlib stuff not being able to find my credentials.  And evolution not finding my credentials, and seahorse showing a very odd view of my passwords.02:43
TheMusooh ouch.02:43
jbichaRAOF: oh you don't like the new seahorse?02:44
RAOFjbicha: I'd prefer a seahorse that works :)02:44
jbichaseahorse works here...02:45
RAOFAm I the victim of mirror skew?  What seahorse version are you talking about?02:47
jbichaseahorse 3.4.1-1; it's a major redesign02:49
* TheMuso sees a gnome-keyring update after syncing his local mirror.02:50
* RAOF adds archive.ubuntu.com to sources.list02:50
jbichaah, yeah, gnome-keyring, seahorse, & gcr needed to be updated at the same time02:51
TheMusoAh yes! New gnome-keyring sees ssh agent working again.02:52
RAOFOh, wow.  They really have changed seahorse, haven't they.03:03
TheMusogrrr something mucks up metacity settings at every reboot for my session. I have to delete the metacity gconf settings files to restore proper behavior.04:02
RAOFWould it be too much to ask for GNOME stable releases to really only fix bugs and not change behaviour?04:05
TheMusoTHis is in quantal...04:06
* RAOF is processing the SRU queue04:08
TheMusoah ok.04:09
TheMusoI knew that, but was not sure if you were talking about my comment.04:09
TheMusoBut stable GNOME updates changing behaviour has happened before afaik.04:10
TheMusoI don't know how it was dealt with though.04:10
RAOFLaney: You're not core-dev?!04:21
LaneyRAOF: Indeed. I got the cli-mono packageset which meant that I could upload everything I needed to touch often in main.08:51
RAOFFair enough.08:51
LaneyHowever that is probably changing :P08:51
geserRAOF: he knows how the DMB works and avoids to start his core-dev application :)08:52
Laneyactually I did start it the other day08:53
Laneyyou might be able to guess the URL08:53
geseroh08:53
LaneyI still have a healthy fear of the DMB though …08:54

chrisccoulsonhmmm, now to break firefox in quantal!13:31
MrChrisDruifGo ahead...I'm using Chromium ;-)13:33
chrisccoulsoni am more than happy to break that too13:36
chrisccoulsonwell, perhaps if i cared about it ;)13:36
MrChrisDruifGhehe, go ahead ;-) I've got still more back-up browsers =P13:43
MrChrisDruifNot the most sophisticated, but "workable" ^_^13:43

dobeyheh, whenever people do that sort of stuff, it always looks good until they start actually running applications that do more than background status monitoring :)13:47

bcurtiswxnow that folks 0.6.9-1 is in ubuntu quantal, there is a fix in there that should make it into Precise. Do I cheery pick that fix and patch folks in precise and add an -ubuntu1 to it ?15:01
bcurtiswxcherry*15:01
Laneyyeah, that works15:02
bcurtiswxmdeslaur, thanks for the sync btw :)15:02
Laneyas long as precise < precise-proposed <= quantal15:02
geserbcurtiswx: -2ubuntu0.115:02
mdeslaurbcurtiswx: np15:02
bcurtiswxgeser, the quantal version is 0.6.9-1 i'm not understanding why that goes to -215:05
bcurtiswxin precise15:05
Laneythe precise version is -215:05
Laneyso -2ubuntusomething15:05
Laney0.1 or 1 are both fine15:05
geserbcurtiswx: precise has 0.6.8-2 and the usual next version for a SRU would be 0.6.8-2ubuntu0.115:06
jbichaor you could use 0.6.9-1~precise1 if you're just backporting from Debian/quantal15:07
bcurtiswxgeser, ah yes. I was staring at my rmadison and.. lets just say these pain killers may be working REALLY well :)15:07
bcurtiswxmornin' kenvandine15:08
kenvandinegood morning15:08
bcurtiswxok im trying to pull lp:ubuntu/precise/folks but maybe since it was a sync thats not right because I received an error15:10
bcurtiswxwell branch would be the right term15:11
geserthat branch is the right one15:14

kenvandinebcurtiswx, give me 5 minutes15:35
bcurtiswxkenvandine, im in no rush. I'm trying to do some data manupilation on lots of datasets which are each a half GB in size :)15:48
chrisccoulsonw00t, closed my first WI :-)17:17
chrisccoulsonso,i've nearly closed as many as last cycle already!17:18
bcurtiswxchrisccoulson, adding a WI of "Fix typo in next WI" and subsequently closing it, doesn't count.. :P17:46

bcurtiswxkenvandine, in empathy does edit->preferences still have a checkbox that says "automatically connect on startup" in precise? (I'm at work on an older release)18:30

chrisccoulsongah, ffs19:57
micahgchrisccoulson: can you disable thumb2 on armel while you're at it? (or I can do it over the weekend otherwise)20:02
chrisccoulsonmicahg, i disabled it last week20:02
micahgoh, hrm20:02
micahgI guess I'll have to dig at some point this cycle (shouldn't matter for older releases, so no rush)20:03
chrisccoulsonhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mozillateam/firefox/firefox-trunk.head/revision/121720:03
micahgchrisccoulson: right, I thought I saw that :), still seems to be unhappy, so probably just needs a patch somewhere, no rush though20:05
jbrettanyone here want to help me triage an apparent gdk problem, so that I may file a more intelligent bug report than "mouse gets stuck"? :)  I guess I'll just explain, and then you can tell me to go to #ubuntu if asking here isn't appropriate..22:18
jbrettso, since my 12.04 upgrade, at least a couple times a day, I'll get into this mode where the window I'm using seems to grab the focus, and won't let go.  I.e. I can move around the desktop, but I can't select or type into any other window.22:19
jbrettwhenever I click on another window, I get an entry in ~/.xsession-errors saying "Gdk-CRITICAL**: IA__gdk_window_get_events: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed"22:20
jbrettthen two following "g_object_ref" and "g_object_unref" G_IS_OBJECT failed assertions, presumably from the same presumed object.22:21
jbrettwhat component/package do I file this against?22:22
chrisccoulsonjbrett, if you run the particular application with G_DEBUG=fatal_criticals, that will make the application abort on those error messages22:23
chrisccoulsonthen you can get a stacktrace22:23
chrisccoulson(as described https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace)22:23
jbretthmm, ok.  I never know which application it's going to be, but I guess I can just run the whole desktop with that variable.22:24
jbretti.e. it's not application specific.  This time, it happened to occur while I was in xchat, so I can type this :)22:25
jbrettsometimes it's chrome, sometimes it's gnome-terminal, etc...22:25
chrisccoulsonjbrett, sounds more like a compiz or unity bug then tbh ;)22:34
chrisccoulsoni thought it was just an issue with a specific application22:34
chrisccoulsonbut if not, then that's more difficult ;)22:34
brycehyeah was going to say sounds like a window manager issue22:34
brycehjbrett, tried it with unity2d or gnome fallback?22:34
jbrettyeah, it's not specific to compiz or unity though.  I tried killing unity/compiz and running metacity --replace, and the same thing happens in metacity after a few minutes.22:34
chrisccoulsonjbrett, how do you normally recover it?22:35
jbrettso it's some underlying library thing, I guess, I just don't have a clue which library to start with.22:35
jbrettI reboot :)22:35
jbrettI'm tempted to blame the nvidia driver.22:36
chrisccoulsonjbrett, have you checked if there are any suspicious errors in dmesg?22:36
jbrettyes, nothing in dmesg or syslog.22:36
chrisccoulson:(22:36
chrisccoulsonthat sucks22:36
jbrettthe only place I can find any errors that make sense is in ~/.xsession-errors.22:36
chrisccoulsoni'm not sure what else to suggest. that's not really my area of expertise22:36
chrisccoulsonperhaps bryceh has some more ideas :)22:36
brycehwell, xorg would be my next idea ;-)22:37
brycehso yeah, feel free to `ubuntu-bug xorg`, and if it's not xorg it can be moved from there22:37
jbrettok, I'll do that and see where it goes :)22:38
jbrettthanks22:38
brycehjbrett, I hope it's not the nvidia driver though; that's obviously rather hard to fix...22:38
jbrettno kidding.22:38
brycehif you do suspect -nvidia, try purging it and booting with just -nouveau22:38
jbrettunfortunately, nouveau won't even recognize my card.22:38
jbrettI'm running the identical config on another machine with nouveau, and don't see this problem, that's why I'm suspicious.22:39
brycehyep, well so much for that idea :-)22:39
jbrett"identical config" means a 12.04 install with rsync'd /home -- obviously not completely identical, and different hardware..22:40
brycehwell, it's not an issue we've had many reports on (that I know of), and if it was a widespread bug I'm sure people would be reporting it; sounds pretty annoying.  So it's likely something peculiar either with your hardware or your install (or just a really obscure bug)22:46
jbrettyeah, I spent quite a while trying to figure out what was messed up with my config -- that's why I duplicated it on another machine.22:51
jbrettbut something could obviously be mucked up with the install/upgrade.22:51
brycehjbrett, yeah took a look thru all the nvidia reports we got for precise; none about mouse focus22:57
