seb128chrisccoulson, what Laney said10:30
chrisccoulsonthanks10:30
tkamppeterlarsu, seb128, I have discovered a problem: In Raring we have switched the printer setup tool from s-c-p to g-c-c. The new g-c-c does not auto-download drivers from OpenPrinting, this functionality must be introduced as completely new feature. Askink upstream for implementing it will go a long process through GNOME design and also the upstream maintainer works at Red Hat and Red Hat would not put effort into a facility for downloading10:30
tkamppeter proprietary drivers.10:30
seb128tkamppeter, wasn't that a known issue before we changed?10:31
chrisccoulsonbut for some reason, when i run the actual test here, the black lines are invisible10:31
chrisccoulsonand it fails in the same way here too https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/raring-ppa-adt-ubuntu_mozilla_daily_ppa-firefox-trunk/10:31
larsuseb128, tkamppeter, yes, this was a known issue. I thought we figured out the auto-downloading was done by the s-c-p daemon that we are still using?10:31
seb128tkamppeter, larsu: it's listed in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-r-system-config-printer-vs-gnome-3-control-center10:32
seb128"The new printer tool doesn't handle proprietary drivers (design choice), switching to the GNOME version would break downloading of those drivers10:32
seb128-> we don't want to drop that feature in Ubuntu10:32
seb128  -> if it doesn't get in upstream, we'll have to patch the ubuntu version"10:32
larsuseb128, right, I think I talked to tkamppeter after that and we figured out that this is done by the daemon10:33
seb128k10:34
seb128tkamppeter, btw you are a workitem on that blueprint about... " Make sure driver auto-download works: TODO"10:34

ogra_cyphermox, could bug 1105068 be realted to your recent modemmanager question ?13:51
ubot2Launchpad bug 1105068 in ubuntu-nexus7 "getty on ttyGS0 causing lots of wakeups" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/110506813:51
seb128ogra_, the nexus meeting is at 5pm german time right?14:04
cyphermoxogra_: no it has nothing to do with it. It could indeed be caused by MM though.. not sure14:05
ogra_seb128, no, 5pm french time :)14:05
seb128ogra_, thanks ;-)14:05
cyphermoxogra_: my question was that I noticed that if I went very quickly after connecting the nexus 7 to open ttyASM3 in screen, I'd see AT commands sent by NM mess up with getty, but it settles down pretty quickly14:08
cyphermoxwhereas that bug is for ttyGS0 -- inside the nexus, as opposed to outside :)14:08
ogra_right, but it could be that getty gets confused by getting AT commands14:09
cyphermoxI think the fix will likely be the exact same thing though, and I discussed it with upstream, Dan seemed to say it shouldn't be blacklisted but I still don't understand why -- seems safe to blacklist that particular USB ID14:09
cyphermoxogra_: in both cases it's a new "modem" (serial device), and getting probed14:10
ogra_well, we could do it as distro patch worst case14:10
cyphermoxunless these wakeups come from something completely different14:10
cyphermoxogra_: oh yeah14:10
cyphermoxbut it still seems like a valid upstream patch -- if people are using that particular USB ID they are necessarily trying to do something special, since you can only get it if you use the kernel g_serial module, with the default settings14:11
ogra_hmm, i think the wakeups come from chraging the device14:11
cyphermoxbtw: why didn't we register a USB ID or just use a different one? ;D14:11
cyphermoxogra_: could be too14:11
ogra_hmm, or not14:12
cyphermoxmultiple 5V on a serial line?14:12
ogra_well, i just checked, still wakes up like crazy14:12
ogra_even with no cable plugged in14:12
cyphermoxit could very well be confusing the kernel14:12
ogra_so its neither14:12
cyphermoxah14:12
cyphermoxwell no14:12
cyphermoxit can still be MM14:12
ogra_on the nexus side, yeah14:12
ogra_shutting down MM on the nexus seems to not have any effect either14:13

cyphermoxyeah but eventstat interests me ;)14:30
ckingI wrote it for the power saving work in 12.0414:30
pittididrocks: hmm; bumping to 6000 now makes it "7 hours" :(14:30

cyphermoxof course it may be counterproductive to do that while connected to 3G over said bus...14:32
pittididrocks: two libo builds, and some disabled ones, sorry14:32
pittididrocks: but it'll be the next in line14:32

cyphermoxCking: hmm its special on the nexus with on board... It doesn't limit output to the number of lines on the terminal.14:43
ckingcyphermox, ah, so it's the  tty driver being a pain then?14:45
ogra_cking, do you have a 3G nexus ?14:48
ckingogra_, how do I figure that out?14:48
ogra_i wonder if that comes into play somewhere and interferes14:48
ogra_hmm, good question, i gues it shoudl offer you 3G networks in NM14:49
* ogra_ has never had a 3G one in his hands, in fact i only own an 8G model from the early days14:49
didrocksseb128: did you see quite some dconf crashes since yesterday's fix?14:49
didrocksseems there is nothing in errors on the first page14:50
ckingogra_, I can't see any 3G networks, so can't tell really14:51

didrocksdesrt: want to debug a dconf crash? do you need the stacktrace this time to get it fix or will you just be awesome once more and not using it? :)15:17
cyphermoxogra_: speaking of a 3G model, I wouldn't mind having my hands on one to make sure the modem works properly there. you know, maintaining MM and everything ;)15:23
cyphermoxcking: well, partly15:23
cyphermoxcking: the tty driver is being a pain because it's hard to easily readable data from eventstat unless you're on serial15:23
ogra_cyphermox, probably vanhoof has one15:23
cyphermoxcking: but then that will break the data you get if what you're interested in is how often the nexus wakes up because of the tty15:24
cyphermoxcking: otherwise, we use the g_serial module with no parameters, so it load up with the default USB ID15:24
ogra_else have your  managernapprove the expenses15:24
ogra_;)15:24
cyphermoxthat has the chance of being used elsewhere by people trying to really hook up some fake modem to MM15:25
cyphermoxI wish we could register our own, or kind of steak the USB ID from the actual nexus15:25
cyphermox*steal15:25
cyphermoxsince you know... it's a nexus15:25
ckingyup15:25
cyphermoxthough if we use that USB ID, then I definitely can't blacklist it in ModemManager, otherwise it will break tethering15:26
cyphermoxI think registering an ID with IANA or whatever costs money though15:26
cyphermoxthe current state isn't too bad, just a little tricky for some things ;)15:26
cyphermoxogra_: I've been thinking seriously about it15:27
cyphermoxbut then maybe I'd just buy it outright and keep it ;)15:27

bdrungSweetshark: if the raring version has the ppa paragraphs in it, you can keep them (to avoid additional work)15:58
