[02:39] <bernie> has anyone ever reported a bug that makes the display remain black with only the mouse cursor moving?
[02:40] <bernie> i'm experiencing it on a desktop with nvidia and a laptop with intel gfx, so it's probably not a driver issue
[02:41] <bernie> it happens after switching on the screen on the desktop and after resume on the laptop, when one normally would see the gnome-screensaver-dialog
[02:41] <bernie> the unity process has crashed, compiz is still running
[02:43] <thumper> hmm...
[02:43] <thumper> trust me on this, but if unity crashed, compiz wouldn't be running
[02:43] <thumper> bernie: how often do you get it?
[02:44] <bernie> well but i don't see "/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/unity" on the machine with the black screen
[02:44] <bernie> it'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)
[02:45] <bernie> thumper: i'd say about once every 2-3 days
[02:46] <thumper> bernie: perhaps a better indicator would be, what ration of success to bug do you have when coming back to the computer
[02:46] <thumper> is to 1 time in 10,
[02:46] <thumper> 1 in 5
[02:46] <thumper> ?
[02:46] <thumper> bug to good (in those cases :)
[02:47] <bernie> thumper: maybe 1 in 10... it seems to happen on display hot plug or hot remove
[02:47] <bernie> thumper: i filed this bug earlier today: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1008808
[02:47] <thumper> bernie: yeah, I thought I saw the bug fly past
[02:47] <bernie> thumper: but now i have a live machine which we could use to debug the problem in real time
[02:48] <bernie> thumper: since it's not reproducible at will...
[02:48] <bernie> thumper: ok, compiz isn't stuck somewhere... if i strace it i see it talking with X
[02:49] <bernie> thumper: also, the mouse cursor changes shape near the middle of the screen, probably where the password prompt should be
[02:53] <duflu> Hi bernie, regarding your black screen problem, could you please tell me what graphics driver you're using?
[02:53] <bernie> duflu: xserver-xorg-video-intel_2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4
[02:54] <bernie> duflu: but it also happened today on my desktop which has the proprietary nvidia driver
[02:56] <duflu> bernie: OK, thanks. Unfortunately that means it's a bug I'm not yet aware of so don'
[02:56] <duflu> t have a quick fix
[02:56] <duflu> Further discussion will be in the bug itself...
[02:56] <bernie> duflu: there are a bunch of errors from compiz in ~/.xsession-errors:
[02:56] <bernie> Warn: glXCreatePixmap failed (multiple times)
[02:57] <bernie> compiz (decor) - Warn: failed to bind pixmap to texture
[02:57] <bernie> duflu: ok, i'll add what i found so far
[02:57] <duflu> bernie: That's not related I think. And it's something that we have fixed in compiz 0.9.8
[02:58] <bernie> duflu: is there a package in precise-proposed or some ppa?
[02:58] <duflu> bernie: 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.
[03:00] <duflu> bernie: Thanks for adding the extra details. I will get to reviewing the bug formally today. It was already in my queue.
[03:00] <bernie> thanks a lot
[03:02] <bernie> i'm glad to help by providing logs or running debug binaries. i can also use gdb if needed.
[11:34] <greyback> cbradsha: hello

[11:35] <cbradsha_> greyback: hi
[14:44] <davidcalle> mhr3, ping
[14:46] <davidcalle> Apparently, latest libunity breaks gi introspection.
[14:46] <mhr3> davidcalle, pong
[14:53] <davidcalle> mhr3, do you know where it could come from? configure.ac has been modified for GTK. Probably related.
[14:56] <mhr3> oh?
[14:59] <mhr3> davidcalle, can you pastebin the new gir?
[15:00] <davidcalle> mhr3, you mean /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/overrides/Unity.py ?
[15:01] <mhr3> davidcalle, /usr/share/gir-1.0
[15:03] <davidcalle> mhr3, http://pastebin.com/9LpQZaLB
[15:10] <greyback> cbradsha_: ping
[15:18] <mhr3> davidcalle, the girs are identical
[15:18] <mhr3> what's exactly the problem you're seeing?
[15:20] <davidcalle> mhr3, 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] <mhr3> davidcalle, and do you have the typelib?
[15:21] <mhr3> davidcalle, /usr/lib/girepository-1.0
[15:21] <davidcalle> mhr3, yes, the Unity one is missing.
[15:22] <davidcalle> mhr3, yes as in "that's it"
[15:22] <mhr3> didrocks, ^^ typelib missing for latest libunity
[15:23] <didrocks> interesting, I ship it though
[15:23] <didrocks> so multiarch didn't work for you?
[15:23] <mhr3> typelib isn't arch-independant
[15:23] <didrocks> davidcalle: you have it under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/girepository-1.0/Unity-5.0.typelib
[15:23] <didrocks> right?
[15:23] <didrocks> or i386 if you have an i386 machine
[15:24] <davidcalle> didrocks, it's here (on 64)
[15:24] <didrocks> davidcalle: so, it seems that gir doesn't know how to read multiarch
[15:24] <mhr3> bad gir, bad!
[15:25] <mhr3> or well, pygi?
[15:25] <didrocks> yeah, should be pygi
[15:25] <didrocks> I can workaround this for now
[15:25] <didrocks> not really fun, we loose the multiarch benefit
[15:25] <didrocks> but well
[15:33] <didrocks> mhr3: davidcalle: ok, next commit will be fine, I moved the file and tested
[15:34] <davidcalle> didrocks, thanks a lot
[15:34] <didrocks> davidcalle: yw :)
[15:58] <mzcl-mn> good afternoon
[15:59] <mzcl-mn> did you notice that after last upgrade to mesa drivers people are complaining about unity failing back to unity 2d?
[16:00] <mzcl-mn> I for one experienced this with the drivers I got from the amd site
[16:01] <mzcl-mn> to get back I had to uninstall those and use either the ones in jockey or the ones that came with the distro
[16:02] <mzcl-mn> is this reported yet?
[16:02] <mzcl-mn> I mean already... ;(
[16:02] <mzcl-mn> :(
[19:14] <cr3> hi folks, might anyone happen to know where /usr/lib/unity/autopilot.py might come from?
[19:14] <Zhenech> dpkg -S /usr/lib/unity/autopilot.py
[19:15] <cr3> Zhenech: 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:unity
[19:16] <Zhenech> if removed, the file would be gone
[19:16] <Zhenech> (is it maybe a symlink?)
[19:17] <cr3> Zhenech: 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 though
