[01:30] robert_ancell: hey [02:04] ARGH STUPID DAMN SSDs. [02:05] RAOF: ? [02:05] The ssd in my laptop has decided that it's *too good* to talk to the bios. Therefore, the bios sees it not. [02:05] hah [02:06] 'too good'? Is that hyperbole, or an actual error symptom ? [02:06] Hyperbole ;) [02:06] It no longer appears in the BIOS' list of devices; presumably it's not responding to SATA commands. [02:08] This is why déjà dup is set to daily backups. [02:23] RAOF, last week I had a problem where the SSD wouldn't come up, because the freakin' liveusb stick installed the boot loader on the usb stick. wtf. [02:24] That's a bit sub-optimal [02:24] RAOF, so the ssd only booted when the usb stick was installed. fun! [02:24] of course, easy to fix once I figured out what was going on, but eesh. [02:24] common problem with liveusb's with persistent storage enabled, apparently. [03:03] Does anyone know what "failed to set drm interface version" means? It's an error that I'm getting from X on three separate boxes with different graphics cards when trying to live-boot the precise daily CD image. [03:03] Given all the things I've heard about SSDs, I can't help but wonder if the tech is still a little immature. [03:05] thomi: "failed to set drm interface version" generally means one of two things: the drm modules aren't ready, or you don't have the requisite permissions. [03:06] Woot! Thank you deja-dup; now I have the actual code I want to palm off to robert_ancell :) [03:06] hmmm, I'm guessing it's the former, rather than the latter, since this is the live CD [03:06] RAOF: any idea how I'd check that? [03:06] Where are you seeing that? [03:06] RAOF, lost then found again? [03:07] robert_ancell: On an SSD that's died, then extracted from yesterday's backup. [03:07] RAOF: in the X log, instead of booting into the desktop I get the "system running in low graphics mode" dialog. [03:08] thomi: You could pastebin the Xorg.0.log; you could also try logging in to a VT and checking that the drm module's up and running - that'd be one of i915, radeon, or nouveau. [03:09] TheMuso, I've a bunch of systems on SSD's now, and anecdotally would say they're definitely no worse than HDDs generally [03:09] RAOF: the 'radeon' module is indeed listed in 'lsmod' [03:09] TheMuso, remember with HDD's there's a class of mechanical problems you can run into, which just aren't going to happen on SSD's. [03:10] robert_ancell: fyi; seb told me you were working on g-s-d 3.5; might want to merge with what's currently in lp:~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-settings-daemon/ubuntu if you have a local branch, I did an upload earlier. [03:10] thomi: If you start lightdm now, does it work? [03:10] bryceh: Yeah I know, same for both I guess, I've just heard of some pretty bad SSD failings, which surprises me for drives with no moving parts. [03:12] RAOF: I don't get an error, but I can't seem to switch to VT7, I just get a black screen. However, there's a chance that's the KVM I'm fighting with [03:12] * thomi checks logs [03:12] I think the vertex series is particularly bad; I heard similar bad things about vertex 2 drives, but (at the time I bought it) people were saying that the vertex 3 had resolved that. [03:17] TheMuso, maybe so. I always research my drive purchases on newegg and have yet to have an SSD failure (out of about a dozen I own currently). [03:18] TheMuso, of course having said that I'm sure tomorrow I'll have the SSD in my most critical system go down... [03:18] bryceh: how old is your oldest drive? [03:19] RAOF: OK, I finally beat the KVM into submission. Yes, if I start lightdm manually it works perfectly [03:19] thomi: In that case it sounds like a race between X startup and drm. [03:19] thomi: Are you only seeing this on radeon cards? [03:20] RAOF: nope, I have *exactly* the same issue on three separate machines running radeon, nvidia, and intel chipsets [03:20] That's very odd. [03:21] RAOF: possibly something to do with it being a PXE boot? [03:22] I dunno how that would change anything though, but I guess having an NFS FS might make some race conditions rear their heads [03:22] I guess it *could* be? But intel and nouveau are usually better at actually waiting for their devices to come up before bailing in that way. [03:24] RAOF: I am able to tweak the OS before it boots, so if there's a hack you can think of to make sure things happen in the right order I'm happy to try it out [03:25] micahg, hardy timeframe. [03:25] thomi: Loading the drm modules into the initramfs should rule out a race. [03:25] bryceh: a 4 yr old SSD? [03:27] micahg, hmm that doesn't sound right [03:27] hmmm [03:28] thomi: An easy way to get the drm modules into the initramfs is to install cryptsetup, then rebuild the initramfs. [03:33] RAOF: sp is the kernel module always called 'drm', or does that change between drivers? [03:38] thomi: There's drm.ko, drm_kms_helper.ko, and a hardware-specific driver - i915.ko, radeon.ko, nouveau.ko. [03:38] micahg, I'm a year off; it was right after berlin, which looks like it was the Jaunty sprint in Feb 2009 [03:39] bryceh: still, a 3yr SSD seems amazing [03:39] RAOF: thanks [03:42] micahg, yeah I got in early on ssd's. That particular drive has been hand-me-downed through a few systems. I've lost track of where it exists now but think it's in a netbook I gave to a relative. [04:06] RAOF: possibly a stupid question: Would it matter if I loaded a graphics driver in the initramfs that wasn't needed for the hardware? For example, I had the 'radeon' module in there and the machine had an intel card? [04:06] ...reason being: I have one OS image that serves several different machines [04:07] No; the modules will only autoload if the hardware they support is present, and (generally) will fail to load if you try to manually modprobe them on a system without hardware they can drive. [04:08] And won't *harm* anything even if they do load. [04:09] ok, cool [04:14] Good morning [04:40] hey pitti [04:40] I'm planning on starting on the drivers stuff "tomorrow", basically in a few hours [04:41] I'll poke your brain about the plans then :) [04:47] cyphermox: nice! [04:47] looking forward to the new GUI [05:41] good morning all [05:43] hey rickspencer3 [05:43] hiya pitti [05:43] pitti, how is your new upstream QA work going? [05:44] rickspencer3: some slow progress; still working on desktop backlog [05:44] rickspencer3: but I submitted my first kernel patch last week and did not get flamed (didn't get applied yet, though) [05:44] pitti, backlog of desktop work, or backlog of desktop QA? [05:45] rickspencer3: and I'm making some nice progress on the udisks2 test suite; it already helped to discover one bug in udisks2 itself, and one in util-linux, which is quite nice (and unexpected) [05:45] congrats! [05:45] rickspencer3: desktop work; some python3 porting and the like [05:45] but that's fine [05:46] well, looks like daily quality is still marching along, except KDE seems to be in some difficulties [05:46] yeah, today quantal is much better than yesterday [05:51] Good Morning. [06:03] good morning [06:10] 'morning didrocks [06:10] bonjour rickspencer3, ça va ? [06:11] ça va bien [06:12] expeté, je n'ai pas café [06:12] je dois sortir pour café biento .... [06:12] je dorm .... [06:12] zzzzzzz [06:13] didrocks, et tois? ça va? [06:14] rickspencer3: ça va bien! pas encore pris de café non plus, mais je vais me faire un petit thé bientôt [06:16] tu as la vie sànte [06:17] je sais pas si le thé est plus zen que le café, mais je préfère son goût === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter === rickspencer3_ is now known as rickspencer3 [08:06] hey [08:06] salut seb128, ça va? [08:06] lut didrocks, ouais, et toi ? [08:07] ça va bien :) [08:07] bonjours mes amis! [08:07] Sweetshark, guten tag! [08:08] ;) [08:12] seb128: I could need a helping hand with forcing gcc to 4.6 on quantal. I have "build-conflicts: gcc (>= 4:4.7~) [!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64], g++ (>= 4:4.7~) [!kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64]" but dpkg complains that g++ 4.7 whats gcc 4.7. yeah, right. but it shouldnt fiddle with g++ 4.7 anyway ... [08:12] seb128: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/107401324/buildlog_ubuntu-quantal-amd64.libreoffice_1%3A3.6.0~beta1-0ubuntu4_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz [08:12] Sweetshark, do you need to remove 4.7? can't you just build-depends on 4.6 and tweak CC= and equivalents? [08:16] seb128: maybe -- Im unsure, if the old build system respects CC in every corner ... [08:16] Sweetshark, the issue there is that build-essential depends on 4.7 [08:16] Sweetshark, I'm not sure you can remove build-essential from the buildds [08:17] seb128: right [08:19] well, the old bs should work on that too ... [08:19] Sweetshark, ? [08:19] bs? [08:20] seb128: old build system (or old bull****) ;) [08:21] heh, I see ;-) [08:28] hello mvo [08:29] mvo I added some patches to lp:~aptdaemon-developers/aptdaemon/ubuntu-precise to reduce the shame on errors.ubuntu.com :) [08:32] popey: hey Alan, how are you? [08:33] popey: do you guys plan to port unity away from libgdu to libudisks2 soon? udisks1 and libgdu are both obsolete [08:35] pitti, I doubt anyone is working on that yet, I'm not even sure they knew about that transition, can you open a bug? [08:35] sure [08:36] should be fairly easy [08:36] seb128, I chatted with DktrKranz yesterday. He'll update keybinder and get it ready for Wheezy in the next couple of days. [08:38] pitti: I was not aware of that [08:38] thanks! [08:38] popey, seb128: I filed bug 1012000 about it [08:38] Launchpad bug 1012000 in unity "Port to libudisks2" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1012000 [08:39] pitti, thanks [08:39] popey: please let me know if there is any trouble; I know udisks rather well, so can help if there are any questions [08:39] just got bug 1011997, which reminded me about this :) [08:39] Launchpad bug 1011997 in compiz "compiz crashed with SIGABRT in g_assertion_message()" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1011997 [08:40] I can reliably crash compiz by running udisks' test suite [08:40] delightful! [08:40] pitti, you probably want to talk to the unity hackers rather than the packagers, I will ping andyrock, I think he's the closer of a maintainer for that code [08:41] right; I pinged popey because I thought he would know best whom to assign/forward it to [08:41] seb128: merci [08:43] pitti, andyrock said he would work on it ... btw is the sigabrt a unity issue or a libgdu one? [08:44] I don't have the full stack trace yet, but I figure it's calling gdu_pool_get_by_device_file() with a NULL argument or so [08:44] it seems the code/logic for getting teh actual assertion message isn't working, meh [08:44] that even has a test in glib [08:44] * pitti puts that on his todo [08:44] pitti, https://launchpadlibrarian.net/107405806/Stacktrace.txt [08:44] stacktrace from the retracer [08:45] interesting stuff are optimized out...

[09:07] hey chrisccoulson ;) [09:07] chrisccoulson, hey, how are you? [09:07] didrocks, thanks [09:09] hi didrocks seb128 [09:10] i'm good thanks, how are you? [09:10] i'd be better if i didn't have to drop everything to fix a bug i can't even reproduce though ;) [09:11] Sweetshark, ping [09:11] jibel: pong [09:12] Sweetshark, hey, I have setup an environment in the lab that builds LO periodically [09:13] it's currently setup to build from the pre-release PPA on Quantal [09:13] Sweetshark, the results are here https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/quantal-pkg-libreoffice/ [09:13] lemme guess, you want a 3.6 beta building against gcc 4.6 on quantal? [09:14] Sweetshark, it's using 4.7 currently [09:14] and fails on i386 as expected [09:14] Sweetshark, amd64 builds but make check fail [09:14] https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/quantal-pkg-libreoffice/ARCH=amd64,label=albali/26/ [09:14] Sweetshark, is there any log I should collect from the build env when check fail ? [09:17] not as it is now, but with next upload (for quantal), ./debian/rules should set "ulimit -c unlimited" if you have gdb installed and that should give us a helpful stacktrace from the crashers ... [09:18] chrisccoulson, I'm good thanks [09:18] s/stacktrace/stacktraces/ [09:19] jibel: however, I am trying to force gcc=4.6 on quantal for now -- I dont see these issues on gcc-4.6. [09:19] jibel: so, it might be interesting to see if those are indeed introduced by gcc 4.7 [09:21] see https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/libreoffice-prereleases/+sourcepub/2504240/+listing-archive-extra for the current build of beta on quantal (hopefully against 4.6) [09:27] Sweetshark, ok, I updated the source and it's building. [09:43] jibel: as for archiving artifacts from that: while the logs should be a lot more helpful already with the new version and gdb around (because they then have stacktraces), it might actually be interesting to get the core dumps in the long run. [09:44] jibel: they should be generated by the build system then and might be rather helpful in debugging the issues ... === rickspencer3_ is now known as rickspencer3 [10:56] Laney, hey [10:56] hiya!

I'd like to start implementing the Drivers tab; but if it's all supposed to be stuff in our control center, seems like pretty high effort to reimplement the whole software-properties thing in g-c-c before being "able to" add drivers. [13:56] OTOH, if the plan is to have this in software-properties for now, I guess it's much simpler [14:08] cyphermox, can we embed python in g-c-c? I think we can't right? [14:08] cyphermox, well I was not at the session at UDS, did we sign to make it a proper panel? [14:09] pitti, ^ do you remember what was stupid us to make panels in i.e python? [14:10] seb128: we didn't use the shell for a long time, so it didn't matter :) [14:10] seb128: I have no idea on python in g-c-c [14:11] seb128: ok, so from what I see in the blueprint perhaps I'm jumping ahead a little bit [14:11] rodrigo_ looked into this, and AFAIR it was by and large "won't do" [14:11] pitti, well I think the "embed python" was discussed for u1 or similar in oneiric [14:11] there's no question of g-c-c in there, just software-properties [14:11] cyphermox, I would say "implement the design in software-properties" to start, we can do the "port to a g-c-c panel" later one, I think we do that most of the code will be able to be reused [14:12] yes, most likely [14:12] pitti, do you remember if there was a technical limitation that blocked i.e python panels? [14:12] seb128: I don't know the details, I'm afraid (I never did) [14:13] pitti, I guess the loader code would need to be updated, it's loaded .so atm [14:13] pitti, ok, thanks [14:13] cyphermox, so, yeah, forget about g-c-c in a first time [14:13] g-c-what?

[16:39] actually, may be one for #ubuntu-x [16:41] chrisccoulson, yep [16:41] bryceh, ah, thanks :) [16:41] (sorry, just asked on #ubuntu-x as well) ;) === rickspencer3 is now known as rickspencer3_ === rickspencer3_ is now known as rickspencer3 [17:00] see you tomorrow guys! :) [17:11] pitti, are you still around?

[22:16] robert_ancell RAOF TheMuso just a reminder about the meeting, wiki and agenda items: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2012-06-12 [22:17] and bryceh ^^ [22:18] * bryceh waves [22:50] howdy people from the other hemisphere [22:51] chrisccoulson: Hey there. [22:51] hi TheMuso, how are you? [22:51] chrisccoulson: Nice catch re unity and C++ ABIs. [22:51] chrisccoulson: Not too bad thanks, yourself? [22:51] TheMuso, yeah, that was a fun one. and i've spent all day today tracking down another nice bug :) [22:52] other than that, i'm not too bad thanks [22:52] * TheMuso feels much more justified in not liking C++ to the point where he feels he'd rather not learn more than he absolutely has to. [22:53] All this stuff that pops up with C++ ABIs and gcc issues every minor release puts me right off the language. [22:53] * micahg likes C++ much more than the PHP he used to work with [22:54] TheMuso, oh, C++ isn't too bad. it's the STL that sucks ;) [22:54] Its not hard to be better than php. :) [22:55] Yeah but thats rather heavily used afaik. [22:55] TheMuso robert_ancell RAOF bryceh doesn't look like any agenda items...so no meeting. please update the wiki when you get a chance. [22:55] * micahg thought the purpose of the STL was to not have to reinvent the wheel [22:56] the purpose of the STL is to make yourself suicidal :) [22:56] jasoncwarner_: Done thank, [22:56] thanks [22:57] jasoncwarner_, thanks
