berniehas anyone ever reported a bug that makes the display remain black with only the mouse cursor moving?02:39
berniei'm experiencing it on a desktop with nvidia and a laptop with intel gfx, so it's probably not a driver issue02:40
bernieit happens after switching on the screen on the desktop and after resume on the laptop, when one normally would see the gnome-screensaver-dialog02:41
berniethe unity process has crashed, compiz is still running02:41
thumperhmm...02:43
thumpertrust me on this, but if unity crashed, compiz wouldn't be running02:43
thumperbernie: how often do you get it?02:43
berniewell but i don't see "/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/unity" on the machine with the black screen02:44
bernieit's present on the machine where i'm typing (oh, but i started it manually from the console because it had previously crashed here too)02:44
berniethumper: i'd say about once every 2-3 days02:45
thumperbernie: perhaps a better indicator would be, what ration of success to bug do you have when coming back to the computer02:46
thumperis to 1 time in 10,02:46
thumper1 in 502:46
thumper?02:46
thumperbug to good (in those cases :)02:46
berniethumper: maybe 1 in 10... it seems to happen on display hot plug or hot remove02:47
berniethumper: i filed this bug earlier today: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/100880802:47
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1008808 in Compiz "Compiz hangs with a black screen" [Undecided,New]02:47
thumperbernie: yeah, I thought I saw the bug fly past02:47
berniethumper: but now i have a live machine which we could use to debug the problem in real time02:47
berniethumper: since it's not reproducible at will...02:48
berniethumper: ok, compiz isn't stuck somewhere... if i strace it i see it talking with X02:48
berniethumper: also, the mouse cursor changes shape near the middle of the screen, probably where the password prompt should be02:49
dufluHi bernie, regarding your black screen problem, could you please tell me what graphics driver you're using?02:53
bernieduflu: xserver-xorg-video-intel_2:2.17.0-1ubuntu402:53
bernieduflu: but it also happened today on my desktop which has the proprietary nvidia driver02:54
duflubernie: OK, thanks. Unfortunately that means it's a bug I'm not yet aware of so don'02:56
duflut have a quick fix02:56
dufluFurther discussion will be in the bug itself...02:56
bernieduflu: there are a bunch of errors from compiz in ~/.xsession-errors:02:56
bernieWarn: glXCreatePixmap failed (multiple times)02:56
berniecompiz (decor) - Warn: failed to bind pixmap to texture02:57
bernieduflu: ok, i'll add what i found so far02:57
duflubernie: That's not related I think. And it's something that we have fixed in compiz 0.9.802:57
bernieduflu: is there a package in precise-proposed or some ppa?02:58
duflubernie: No, sorry, not yet because 0.9.8 breaks compatibility with unity in precise. That needs to be resolved and both put in the same PPA. Will take time.02:58
duflubernie: Thanks for adding the extra details. I will get to reviewing the bug formally today. It was already in my queue.03:00
berniethanks a lot03:00
berniei'm glad to help by providing logs or running debug binaries. i can also use gdb if needed.03:02

davidcallemhr3, ping14:44
davidcalleApparently, latest libunity breaks gi introspection.14:46
mhr3davidcalle, pong14:46
davidcallemhr3, do you know where it could come from? configure.ac has been modified for GTK. Probably related.14:53
mhr3oh?14:56
mhr3davidcalle, can you pastebin the new gir?14:59
davidcallemhr3, you mean /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Unity.py ?15:00
mhr3davidcalle, /usr/share/gir-1.015:01
davidcallemhr3, http://pastebin.com/9LpQZaLB15:03
greybackcbradsha_: ping15:10
mhr3davidcalle, the girs are identical15:18
mhr3what's exactly the problem you're seeing?15:18
davidcallemhr3, that's what bothers me. I've tried it on two machines. from gi.repository import Unity fails with "ERROR:root:Could not find any typelib for Unity"15:20
mhr3davidcalle, and do you have the typelib?15:20
mhr3davidcalle, /usr/lib/girepository-1.015:21
davidcallemhr3, yes, the Unity one is missing.15:21
davidcallemhr3, yes as in "that's it"15:22
mhr3didrocks, ^^ typelib missing for latest libunity15:22
didrocksinteresting, I ship it though15:23
didrocksso multiarch didn't work for you?15:23
mhr3typelib isn't arch-independant15:23
didrocksdavidcalle: you have it under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0/Unity-5.0.typelib15:23
didrocksright?15:23
didrocksor i386 if you have an i386 machine15:23
davidcalledidrocks, it's here (on 64)15:24
didrocksdavidcalle: so, it seems that gir doesn't know how to read multiarch15:24
mhr3bad gir, bad!15:24
mhr3or well, pygi?15:25
didrocksyeah, should be pygi15:25
didrocksI can workaround this for now15:25
didrocksnot really fun, we loose the multiarch benefit15:25
didrocksbut well15:25
didrocksmhr3: davidcalle: ok, next commit will be fine, I moved the file and tested15:33
davidcalledidrocks, thanks a lot15:34
didrocksdavidcalle: yw :)15:34

cr3hi folks, might anyone happen to know where /usr/lib/unity/autopilot.py might come from?19:14
Zhenechdpkg -S /usr/lib/unity/autopilot.py19:14
cr3Zhenech: exactly, no match, I wonder if it's something that existed and got removed at some point. I'm about to see if there might be a related log message in lp:unity19:15
Zhenechif removed, the file would be gone19:16
Zhenech(is it maybe a symlink?)19:16
cr3Zhenech: no symlink, but I am finding tools/autopilot and test/autopilot in lp:unity, not sure if it used to be installed at some point though19:17
