robert_ancellRAOF, so I still cant get weston to run outside of X without locking up my video - any debugging techniques?03:11
RAOFrobert_ancell: EGL_LOG_LEVEL=debug should get you some video debugging info. I've generally found that ensuring that I can r/w to /dev/input/*, and that there's not a second GPU to confuse things makes it work for me.03:17
robert_ancellRAOF, so I have:03:18
robert_ancell00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 18)03:18
robert_ancell01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310M] (rev a2)03:18
robert_ancellwould that be confusing it?03:18
RAOFrobert_ancell: Possibly.03:25
RAOFrobert_ancell: I've found that it will often attempt to start on the (totally useless) radeon on this laptop rather than the intel.03:25
robert_ancellRAOF, so I'm not getting any debugging that I can see.  I can ssh in and start lightdm and recover however04:04
robert_ancellRAOF, and via ssh weston seems to have stopped (not showing in ps)04:04
RAOFrobert_ancell: Ok. I can run as root ‘XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp weston’, and have it work.04:10
robert_ancellRAOF, can I just build weston from a branch and play with that?04:12
RAOFrobert_ancell: Aha! Try setting EGL_PLATFORM=drm; that's worked for me, apart from the bit where it crashes lightdm when you try to switch away from the weston VT.04:20
RAOFrobert_ancell: So, the two failure modes I see are: (a) failure to set EGL_PLATFROM=drm, which results in weston SEGVing in an XCBgetX11ish function, and (b) permissions failure on /dev/input, which results in weston SEGVing in backend_init.04:46
RAOFrobert_ancell: Avoiding both of those, the weston in system-compositor-scratchpad reproducibly works for me.04:47
robert_ancellRAOF, I think it loads the drm backend correctly as I get on the console:04:49
robert_ancell[...] Loading module '/usr/lib/weston/drm-backend.so'04:50
robert_ancell[...] initializing drm backend04:50
robert_ancellthen stop04:50
RAOFEGL *also* needs to load the correct backend (setting EGL_LOG_LEVEL=debug should show what it's picking); for some reason it's defaulting to the X11 backend, which is nonsence.04:51
RAOFAlso, weston > weston.log 2>&1 FTW ☺04:51
RAOFhttp://paste2.org/p/2064089 is what it should look like if you've not got the right permissions on /dev/input04:53
RAOFhttp://paste2.org/p/2064090 is what it should look like with a successful start.04:54
test_RAOF, hmm, pandaboard just locked up04:55
* RAOF is hoping that means robert_ancell has discovered the ‘vt switching from weston kills lightdm’ problem.04:56
test_RAOF, btw, does your pandaboard sometimes only have  a low resolution04:56
=== test_ is now known as robert_ancell
RAOFtest_: Yes, but mostly my pandaboard has not booting.04:56
robert_ancell:(04:56
robert_ancellRAOF, what is this vt switching problem?04:57
RAOFIt seems that if I VT switch from weston's VT back to X, lightdm dies.04:57
robert_ancellinteresting04:57
RAOFOf course, *weston* dies when you try to VT switch away from it, because it mistakenly tries to drop master, but it shouldn't also take down lightdm :)04:57
robert_ancellso I'm pandaboarding X at the moment and sshing into my laptop trying to run weston04:58
RAOFOk. Did you get the pastebin logs of a failed and successful weston startup?04:59
robert_ancellRAOF, can you explain this, to get my laptop working again after weston dies I start lightdm to get input back, then have to 'stty sane' the console back04:59
RAOFI think weston fiddles with the VT mode; unclean shutdown might leave it in an awkward state.05:00
robert_ancellRAOF, another win for the VT subsystem!05:00
RAOF:)05:00
robert_ancellI haz log, attempting to start ff in under 1 minute to paste it05:01
RAOFpastebinit!05:01
TheMusoPastebinit is a time saver for sure, in fact IMO anything that allows you to post something to a website without actually ahving to use a web browser is a time saver. :)05:02
robert_ancellhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1070700/05:02
robert_ancellhandy05:03
robert_ancelland yeah, card1 is nvidia according to syslog05:04
RAOFAh. So that's totally working up until the point where it tries to set the mode; you're actually using the nvidia card, I presume?05:05
robert_ancellRAOF, nope, intel (card0)05:06
RAOFAha.05:06
RAOFThat would be a problem ;)05:06
robert_ancelland the X log confirm it05:06
RAOFmodprobe -r nouveau, try again.05:06
robert_ancellRAOF, why would it pick card1 over card0?05:06
RAOFSodomy non sapiens05:06
robert_ancellRAOF, weston says no: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1070707/05:09
robert_ancellat least I have a core this time05:09
RAOFRight.05:10
RAOFThat's what it looks like if weston doesn't have permissions to /dev/input05:10
robert_ancelland with sudo it is happy :)05:10
RAOFFor what it's worth, weston will pick the last first drm device enumerated by udev with ID_SEAT=seat005:12
robert_ancelllast first?05:13
RAOFOh, sorry. First.05:14
RAOFAnd since we don't annotate drm devices with ID_SEAT, it'll pick the first drm device enumerated by udev.05:14
robert_ancelland I can seem to vt switch between lightdm and weston here ok05:14
RAOFMaybe because you're running as root?05:14
robert_ancellperhaps?05:14
RAOFYeah, works fine as root.05:17
RAOFTime to turn on the fourth computer in this room to test this nouveau driver...05:43

didrocksdesrt: me too!13:42
desrtremember i did you a favour when we had UDS in orlando?13:42
desrti need the same favour for oakland :)13:42
didrocksdesrt: ahah, yeah, no worry ;)13:43
didrocksdesrt: TBH, it's not that complicated this time, at least, for me ;)13:43
desrtmaybe i should ask seb, then :)13:43
desrti think he shared some 'complications' with me13:43

bcurtiswxwhat might cause the auto resize by dragging windows to the left or right side of the screen to not work13:45
desrtbcurtiswx: did you look at ccsm the wrong way? :)13:46
bcurtiswxi had to drag the window like 6 times before it would let me13:46
didrocksbcurtiswx: working quite well for me. Try to grab sam or duflu when they are around13:47

bcurtiswxdidrocks, i also have an issue (once in a while) where loading windows and closing windows cause my mouse cursor to stop moving and freeze. its so unpredictable though..13:48
seb128bcurtiswx, kenvandine: hey, is there any way one of you could verify the empathy SRU on precise or find some user to verify it?13:49
kenvandinehey seb12813:50
bcurtiswxseb128, i didn't know i could (since I put it together)13:50

desrtseb128: i finally landed my wip branch on dconf13:50
seb128desrt, oh, nice13:50
desrtseb128: will probably be another week of fixing up remaining issues and writing unit tests then we can begin the 'real' work :)13:50
seb128bcurtiswx, if you can confirm the archive version works and set the bug to verification-done it would be great13:51
seb128desrt, ;-)13:51
bcurtiswxseb128, sure.13:51

didrocksThe goal is to have special helper for common operatoin like [dconf-*]13:52
desrtdidrocks: i don't like it13:52
didrocksand general one for special cases not handled, like [script]13:52
didrocksah :)13:52
didrockswhat's up with it?13:52
desrtit looks like a keyfile but it's not13:52
didrocksthat's true13:52
desrtwhy not just use shellscripts?13:52
desrtwe have such luck with robustness and reliability with using those in postinst rules :D13:53
desrt(no.. but seriously..)13:53
didrockswell, do you want to add everytime the same transactional that for common operation, it's easy to miss13:53
didrocksand yeah, I wanted to emphase on the reliability :p13:53
didrockss/that/stuff13:53
desrti'm not sure you gain much reliability by using a weird file format that nobody understands properly13:54
desrtparticularly when the examples you have listed here are all one-liners with the dconf commandline tool13:54
desrti also find your dconf examples to be a bit odd13:54
didrocksdesrt: well, removing the old directory, is not13:55
bcurtiswxkenvandine, i'm having window freezing and mouse freezing issues13:55
didrockswhich one?13:55
desrtdidrocks: the ones about setting or adding keys13:55
bcurtiswxit's getting painful to load windows and things due to the wait13:55
desrtyou would never want to do this13:55
didrocksdesrt: well, we already had that into the past13:55
desrtyou'd rather change the system default13:55
didrockslike adding a key in a list?13:55
desrtdidrocks: so with GSettingsList one of the requirements is that you can have a situation like the launcher and add a new item to it (from the system level) without modifying the user's config at all13:56
didrocksyou are speaking about +/apps/compiz/plugin_list = "fooplugin" right?13:56
bcurtiswxseb128, any idea what may cause my desktop to freeze (mouse stops moving and maximization movement freezes for example)..13:56
desrtsame could be said for compiz plugins13:56
didrocksindeed13:56
didrockswe already had that13:56
didrocksso it's a real case13:56
bcurtiswxseb128, it happens when i load windows and maximize/minimize13:56
desrtdidrocks: i'm saying that GSettingsList will let you manage this case in a better way13:56
desrtie: no script required at all13:56
bcurtiswxseb128, even switch windows in my browser13:56
seb128bcurtiswx, no, maybe check session logs and xorg ones13:56
didrocksdesrt: are you sure it will be there in time this cycle?13:57
desrtdidrocks: i do think it might make sense in some cases to remove items or reset them13:57
seb128bcurtiswx, is that precise? when did that start?13:57
desrtdidrocks: i will spend the rest of this week finishing my dconf cleanup and then i'm in a good place to start proper work on this13:57
desrtit won't take more than a month13:57
desrtso i think it's not a problem13:57
bcurtiswxseb128, it's precise and it's been an issue for a few weeks.. i can't reproduce it, because at times it all works fine..13:57
didrocksdesrt: ok, so for the rest, it's just one or two liners, so you would say, shell script only?13:58
seb128bcurtiswx, weird, I don't know :-(13:58
desrtdidrocks: i think the shellscript approach is pretty reasonable13:58
desrtdidrocks: it's already established as the universal hook language :)13:58
bcurtiswxseb128, hmm, so debug would start at session logs and xorg logs13:59
didrocksdesrt: ok, if there is another way to handle lists, yeah, the whole extra sugar isn't needed13:59
didrocksdesrt: thanks for your input!13:59
desrtdidrocks: GSettingsList is something like my highest priority for this cycle now14:00
didrocksdesrt: great, if you need real test cases or so, do not hesitate to ping me :)14:00
desrtdidrocks: let's have a fun testcase.  do an upload of my dconf 'wip/reorg' branch to the desktop team ppa ;)14:01

mterryseb128, jbicha: we don't want to move to guile-2.0?17:14
Laneymterry: I'd say it's more of a "can't" or "won't"17:15
Laneyi.e. the rdeps of -1.8 in main are tough to port, and 2.0 ftbfs on arm17:15
Laney(it was already agreed we wouldn't keep two guiles in main)17:15
mterryLaney, right, but the ftbfs is unlikely to be fixed?  (I haven't looked at it yet)17:15
mterryAh, ok17:15
seb128mterry, it's not a transition I'ml wanting to put efforts in only to update a card game17:16

mterryLaney, seb128: so we upload a 3.4.is.3.2?17:16

mterryLaney, but in the style of GNOME, I imagine it would be ported with only Klondike and Spider maybe  ;)17:21
seb128mterry, I'm starting to believe we should maybe just swap it for some other games, Laney had puzzle ones ;-)17:21
seb128mterry, they might just let one game with one card, like "guess which card is face down" :p17:23

mdeslaurseb128: I believe launching pkexec from a .desktop file, either by clicking it in nautilus, or with gnome 2 wouldn't work...which is why the wrapper was needed18:09
mdeslaurseb128: I'm not quite sure if that's still the case with unity, or with gnome-shell, or nautilus anymore18:09
seb128mdeslaur, it's still the case with unity, that's why I was asking, cf bug #102011518:47

chrisccoulsonnobody uses chromium! ;)20:04
seb128chrisccoulson, it seems so! ;-)20:04
seb128chrisccoulson, though from errors.ubuntu.com no one use firefox either, no bug coming from it ;-)20:05
chrisccoulsonseb128, that's because it has no bugs20:05
seb128micahg, hey, could you or somebody from xubuntu look at bug #962469? it's the 3rd most popular bug on errors.ubuntu.com today20:05

micahgseb128: firefox is blacklisted in apport (and I would guess in whoopsie as well)20:05
seb128chrisccoulson, lol20:05
seb128micahg, yeah, I was mostly trolling chrisccoulson ;-)20:05
micahgseb128: I tried to get the upstream dev to look at it, will try again20:06
seb128micahg, thanks20:06

robert_ancellRAOF, anyway to make X or Xephyr run as non-root with Wayland?23:14
RAOFrobert_ancell: You should be able to run X under wayland as non-root. At least until I rip out it's input handling in favour of the real X drivers.23:16
RAOFrobert_ancell: Of course, the way it's set up you need to spawn wayland and X from a display manager for that to work.23:17
RAOFBut that's because weston doesn't quite know what to do with xwayland's root window.23:17
robert_ancellRAOF, yeah, I'm getting "X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting.", but does that go away when you have all the DM signalling ducks in a rot23:18
robert_ancellrow23:18
RAOFOh, right! The wrapper!23:18
RAOFIf you run /usr/bin/Xorg instead that message will dissapear23:20
robert_ancelloh, magic23:24
robert_ancellRAOF, "Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.1.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.1.log.old""23:25
RAOFHah.23:25
RAOFOh, of course. This works for me locally because I set --prefix=$HOME/.local23:25
thomiI notice that unity trunk is no longer being built into packages in the unity-team staging PPA for precise. Does anyone know if it's just not being built, or being put somewhere else?23:26
RAOFrobert_ancell: You'd need to pass -logfile somewhere that's user-writable23:27
thomiautopilot is failing because it can't get unity trunk from a PPA anymore, and several required quantal packages are still broken...23:27
* RAOF loves how that's in a section “Device Dependent Usage”23:27
robert_ancellRAOF /dev/null seems to work :)(23:28
robert_ancellRAOF /dev/null seems to work :)23:28
robert_ancellRAOF, I wonder if we should consider removing the X log file at some point.  It seems to be from the "when X was central to everything" time but we log it effectively in LightDM, and upstart logs everything above that effectively23:29
RAOFrobert_ancell: We could certainly do that - you'd want to set -verbose to something higher than default, and -logverbose to 0. And also make a massive documentation push so people know where the hell those logs have gone.23:30
robert_ancellRAOF, yeah, I think we'd want to start encouraging people to look at the LightDM logs now, and then remove the old ones in the future some time23:31
RAOFFirst you'd want LightDM to pass a sufficient -verbose value so that it actually picks up everything that Xorg.0.log does by default.23:32
