pittismb: Jockey, I try to forget about it :-) , but I guess I can still answer questions09:29
=== mcclurmc_away is now known as mcclurmc
smbpitti, So I am not completly sure about whether its pebcak but starting with jockey-text which since yesterday (with precise-proposed enabled) fails running, and apport asking me about submitting the report and then just ignoring my yes09:30
pittismb: sounds liek a regression from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/jockey/0.9.7-0ubuntu7.6 then09:30
pittismb: tseliot and bryce recently changed jockey to include the experimental nvidia drivers, that might have something to do with it09:31
smbpitti, If "from" means introduced by, yes seems like it09:31
didrocksdarkxst: excellent!09:31
smbpitti, I am sure it did work the day before because the steam client I am playing around with always asked me about the newer fglrx09:32
smb(which failed to install then btu oddly succeeded today in text mode. gah!)09:32
pittismb: if you can confirm it's a regression in -proposed (try downgrading and killing jockey-backend), can you please follow up in bug 1080588 ?09:33
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1080588 in jockey (Ubuntu) "jockey suggests not installable packages on renamed stack" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/108058809:33
pittismb: apport didn't open a firefox tab? or it just crashed? do you have a /var/log/*apport*.crash?09:33
smbpitti, Should be able to try that, yep. :) Anyway apport seems to come up and it seems like the real upload part is not executed. And that seems to be the the same with another Precise box without proposed and Quantal09:33
smbpitti, It seems just to exit after saying upload09:34

pittididrocks: done09:37
didrocksthanks :)09:37
pittismb: yeah, we never did that in stable releases though (at least not for crashes)09:37
pittismb: hm, I'm afraid I need to defer to ev about why whoopsie doesn't upload the report09:38
smbpitti, Ok, sure. Well maybe it *does*, I just have no clue how I would know09:39

pittismb: displaying your sent errors is quite hard right now, that's known09:41
smbpitti, *grumble*09:41
smbtseliot, Basically everything looks "normal" and after clicking send report nothing happens. But as I learn this is normal and I probably did not try doing that for released releases for a while... :-P09:42
pittididrocks: oh, our GPU freeze is the top crasher in 13.04 for today on errors.u.c.09:42
didrockspitti: I have freeze, but not crasher now09:44
didrockslike some write on disk freeze the ui for 30s09:44
didrocksand then, back to life09:45
tseliotsmb: if there really was a crash it should be in /var/log/jockey.log09:45
smbpitti, So I guess *if* I want to create a bug for a stable release now, I have to unpack the *.crash, create a bug with that title and run apport-collect for the rest after it is created?09:46
pittismb: see privmsg09:47
smbpitti, yup thanks09:49
smbtseliot, There are things in there and it is some type problem in jockey-text -l, just ranting about my inability to know that I have sent info. ;)09:50

wbgs_gaminghello guys will you be releasing a Openbox version of ubuntu casue thats really like the only version that works for me somthing like Openbox with either lxde,xfce or tint2 panel ?20:19
sarnoldwbgs_gaming: you can always install and run whatever window manager you want, no need for a different version of ubuntu.20:23
wbgs_gamingsarnold I was thinking of making a my own distro but i need more help if I dont get linux running good then i might as well as throw my pc out lol20:24
wbgs_gamingcould I use Ubuntu as base for open box style distro also might run low latency kernel20:25
sarnoldwbgs_gaming: yeah, there's no need for that :) you just need to make sure you get your windowmanager of choice installed...20:25
sarnoldwbgs_gaming: you sure could20:25
wbgs_gamingsarnold you a dev20:25
sarnoldwbgs_gaming: but making a new distribution is a fair amount of work.20:26
wbgs_gamingI think ubuntu tweak can uninstall useless apps right20:26
wbgs_gamingi wanna strip ubuntu down to its core and just have a menu where you can choose to install games in teh repositroy and when steam release have that there along side POL20:27
wbgs_gamingthe liter te kernel the better20:28
wbgs_gamingwe re only focusing on browsing the net and gaming -_-20:28
wbgs_gamingthe distro should be under 500mb20:29
ogra-cbuse lubuntu then20:30

ogra-cbit has an openbox install that you can pick as your default desktop on the login manager20:31
ogra-cband its under 500M20:31
sarnoldyou get to pick exactly what you want. :)20:31
ogra-cbno20:31
ogra-cbdont use ubuntu-core20:31
wbgs_gamingsarnold any how thanks alot for your help I think ill reinstall ubuntu and try my idea DE's lag my pc also Lubuntu has errors all the time in 12.10 and the graphics preformence is junk with AMD20:31
ogra-cbunless you know exactly what you are doing20:31
sarnoldwow20:31
wbgs_gamingwhat you reconmend20:31
sarnoldwbgs_gaming: try lubuntu first.20:31
wbgs_gamingsarnold already have20:32
ogra-cbwell, you could do a cmonnadline install using the mini iso, then install openbox and xorg and be done20:32
ogra-cb*commandline20:32
wbgs_gamingsarnold Xubuntu is what i like but snap to screen is a pain alwasy enabling and teh AMD graphics dont preform up to par20:32
sarnoldwbgs_gaming: indeed, amd has historically been a pretty poor partner20:33
wbgs_gamingwell on all the ubuntu distros AMD has not preformed upto par20:33
sarnoldwbgs_gaming: nvidia has done better, if you don't mind running proprietary drivers20:33
sarnolds/ubuntu/linux/20:33
wbgs_gamingwell i am not gona switch to nvidia just to run Linux lmao20:34
sarnoldintel's drivers on the other hand are open and good.20:34
sarnoldtheir performance may not be nvidia, but I'd pick intel every time. they're a good partner. :D20:34
wbgs_gamingnot as powerfull and again that requires me buying another pc20:34
wbgs_gamingthe only soulution is openbox too bad there aint a flavour of that ubuntu has every thing but that20:35
wbgs_gamingany how i am gona reinstall my ubuntu i burned it too fast before i am gona try it agian see how it goes.20:36
wbgs_gamingsarnold thansk alot and ttyl20:38

jtaylorachiang: pkg -L valgrind | grep supp21:39
jtaylordpkg21:39
achiangjtaylor: hm, let me ask another way. i want to ship a suppression file for fontconfig. is there a standard way to do so?21:40
jtaylorachiang: python3 places a file in the valgrind folder21:42
achiangah, ok21:42
jtaylorbut I kind of doubt that is really how it should be done21:42
jtaylora valgrind.supp.d folder would be nice21:42
jtaylorbetter ask the valgrind maintainers21:43
infinityLooks like they go in /usr/lib/valgrind/${package}.supp21:45
infinitySeems reasonable.21:45
=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan
infinityDon't know why you'd need another level of abstraction.21:45
infinityachiang: ^21:45
jtaylorinfinity: we have .d folders for so much why not for this too?21:46
infinityWhy would it need one?21:46
achianginfinity: yep, i'm playing with ${package}.supp now21:46
jtaylorconsistency21:46
jtaylorif I wouldn't have found python3 in there I would never have guessed that that works21:46
jtaylor(if it even works, did not test it)21:47
achiangstrange, i dropped fontconfig.supp into /usr/lib/valgrind and it doesn't seem to get autoloaded (or used or whatever)21:48
jtaylorI'll file a bug in valgrind, at least a clear strategy for package should be documented21:49
infinity       --suppressions=<filename> [default: $PREFIX/lib/valgrind/default.supp]21:49
achiangok, /usr/bin/valgrind is a wrapper21:49
infinity           Specifies an extra file from which to read descriptions of errors to suppress. You may21:49
infinity           use up to 100 extra suppression files.21:49
infinity^-- I see no mention that they'll be autoloaded (except for default)21:49
achiangthat calls valgrind with a --suppressions arg21:49
achiangfor the libc-dbg package21:50
infinityRight, but it's not going to autodetect all others.21:50
achiangnod21:50
infinityMaybe it could/should?  I dunno.21:50
achiangwell... so here's the thing21:50
achiangwe want to recommend to lots of people to start valgrinding packages everywhere for the nexus721:51
achiangbut i don't want to be flooded with false positives21:51
infinityAre suppression files sufficiently well namespaced that they can't clash/conflict?21:51
jpdsjtaylor: Erm, .d is for a configuration file that can be split into other configuration files.21:51
achiangi can write suppression files, but it would be super nice if valgrind would automatically use them21:51
infinityIf not, then autoloading /usr/lib/valgrind/*.supp would be a losing strategy.21:51
jtaylorjpds: kind of applies to suppression files21:52
achiangno clue really, which is why i'm asking here. :)21:52
jtaylorjpds: you can cat them together or just add multiple --suppression args21:52
infinityjpds: I could see an argument for moving suppressions to /usr/lib/valgrind/suppressions/, but that would not only require patching valgrind, but every package that already ships the other way.21:52
infinityWhich doesn't seem like a win, just for aesthetics.21:53
achiangignoring the aesthetics question for now, how about simple tractability? the namespace issue seems annoying (but not insurmountable)21:53
jtaylorbtw someone should merge valgrind from unstable21:53
* jtaylor hides21:54
infinityachiang: The file namespace is clear, it's $package.supp, and we can't have conflicting package names.21:54
jtaylorinfinity: what is with user suppressions?21:54
infinityjtaylor: Those tend to be in your build directory.21:55
achianginfinity: nod. i'd agree with that21:55
jtaylorthere are reasons to have those system wide21:55
jtaylorthough probably rare21:55
achiangthe next question is, how to make valgrind magically use them21:55
achiangi don't want a situation where well-intentioned (but not super technical) folks flood LP with bogus reports21:56
jtaylorachiang: if lib/valgrind/ does not work then file a bug21:57
jtaylorto me it looks like a useful feature21:57
infinityachiang: The wrapper could be changed to walk /usr/lib/valgrind/*.supp and use them all, I'm just unsure if that's a good idea.21:57
infinityI don't know enough about valgrind suppressions to say one way or the other if you actually always want them all loaded.21:58
achiangjtaylor: see above, i wrote a fontconfig.supp and put it into /usr/lib/valgrind, but it doesn't get autoloaded. and i think i agree somewhat w/infinity that it might not be a good idea21:58
achiangmaybe a better way to do this would be to write a user-friendly valgrind wrapper that knows to load specific suppression files based on the app you're profiling. except that's signing up for a *lot* of manual maintenance21:59
infinityachiang: Actually, that wouldn't be wildly difficult.21:59
achiangsketch an outline for me?22:00
achiangsee also discussion here - https://code.launchpad.net/~achiang/ubuntu-nexus7/valgrind-ubuntu-dbg-packages/+merge/13484122:00
infinityachiang: Well, for C, it's easy.  Parse ldd output, trace owners of libraries to map lib->package, add $package.supp to command line.22:00
achiangmaybe some sort of apport wrapper thingy that not only installs the -dbg packages but also adds $package.supp to cmdline?22:01
infinityachiang: For interpreted languages, a bit stickier, you'd need to parse the dpkg depends for the package, since there's no simple way to know all the deps of a shell script, for instance.22:01
infinityapport-retrace does indeed have most of the magic already, perhaps it could be leveraged for valgrindiness too.22:02
achianginfinity: i don't mind doing a simple thing first and then iterating to something fancy later22:02
infinitySince it also handles debug symbols and the like.22:02
infinitypitti / ev / bdmurray: Opinions on the suitability of genericising apport-retrace to also do valgrind dep-tracking magic?22:04
achiangbut we run apport-retrace on the server side, right? i'd want something that's dead simple for users to run... the end goal is: ./wrapper <app> => *useful* log to upload to LP22:04
achiang(without multiple rtts)22:04
infinityachiang: It can be run locally too.  Some people do.22:05
infinityachiang: But this is more about possibly refactoring its dependency tracing and ddeb-installing magic, so it could be used in a valgrind wrapper, not really about retracing.22:06
infinityBut writing code twice seems silly.22:06
achianglibnih? ;)22:06
infinityNot my project. :P22:06
achiangbut yeah, +1 to code reuse22:06
infinityI'm a glibc maintainer, I believe in improving on old codebases, obviously.22:06
infinity(We'll ignore the ancient history of libc4 and libc5...)22:07
achianginfinity: looks like pitti is suggesting exactly that -- apport-valgrind <package>22:10
infinityachiang: Great minds and/or fools.22:10

achiangguess i should go stare at apport code22:11
achiangoh, oops, it was actually this comment where he suggests it - https://code.launchpad.net/~achiang/ubuntu-nexus7/valgrind-ubuntu-dbg-packages/+merge/134841/comments/29134322:12
infinityachiang: Right, of course that should be "apport-valgrind <binary> -- -args" with apport figuring out the package itself, but otherwise I agree that seems a sane way to go.22:14
achianginfinity: so not being entirely familiar w/apport, would someone be able to have a long running process in the -S sandbox?22:16
infinityachiang: I'm not hugely familiar with it myself, but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.22:20
infinityachiang: Though, sandboxing may be overkill.  apport can do sandbox-free as well, I believe?22:20
infinityachiang: Just means removing the ddebs/-dbgs you install, instead of blatting a sandbox chroot.22:21
* slangasek looks around for the library that libnih is redundant with ;)22:21
infinityslangasek: Possibly glib?22:22
slangasekI think that might've been the joke, but I know I'd much rather use libnih than glib22:22
infinityslangasek: Wasn't the intent to write a slimmer and more targetted glib, to avoid having glib as a low-level system dep, and then glib ended up a low-level dep of everything else anyway?22:22
slangasekit didn't22:22
slangaseknot at that level22:22
infinityPretty close.  It's required on Debian/Ubuntu.22:23
slangasekhmm, that appears to be a bug?22:24
slangasekI don't see any Prio: required revdeps in Ubuntu22:24
infinityudev?22:24
slangaseknope22:24
infinityYep...22:24
slangasekthough that reminds me, I should probably see about getting libjson moved to /lib before I reboot again22:24
slangaseklibjsonc22:24
slangasekah, udev does depend on it, weird that grep-available doesn't know this22:25
slangasekok, so *why* does udev depend on glib? :)22:26
infinityLooks like a ton of the utils in /lib/udev link it.22:27
slangasekonly /lib/udev/udev-acl22:28
infinityslangasek: You and I have divergent definitions of "only".22:29
infinityslangasek: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1380670/22:29
slangasekinfinity: only one of those is from the udev package22:30
infinityAhh.22:30
infinityFair enough.22:30
slangasekthe rest are hooks to the crazy train22:30
infinitySeems like mostly a non-issue since any sufficiently interesting system will have glib installed anyway.22:33
infinityThough, if that's the only thing dragging it into initrds as well, that's a bit irksome.22:33
