robruattente, ok, so I have some kind of issue here where gnome-settings won't load any panels, and also won't exit. if I click on the x, the window disappears for a second but then pops right back up, and if I try to click on any of the panels, none of them load00:01
robruattente, `killall gnome-settings-daemon` made it go away...00:06

Laneyc++ symbols files are just pain11:08
seb128don't use .symbols with it...11:08
Laneythat might be the correct solution ;-)11:09
chrisccoulsonpkgkde-symbolshelper to the rescue11:09
Laneyoh yeah, is that good?11:10
chrisccoulsoni use it for libmozjs, although i have to admit, mbiebl did most of the work to set that up11:10
chrisccoulsonand i can't remember off the top of my head how to do it, but it's quite simple11:11
chrisccoulsonhttp://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/symbolfiles.html11:11
Laneybut but but... my amazing shell pipeline to demangle and sed it all into a working state11:12
* Laney tries it :P11:12
ogra_cyphermox, how the heck did you find out about the -J option for getty ? it doesnt seem to be documented anywhere (manpage, --help etc dont show it)11:17
seb128Laney, chrisccoulson: the most annoying part is when the mangling is slightly different between archs and your amd64 made .symbols fails the build on armfh11:21
seb128Laney, chrisccoulson: I think didrocks played with pkgkde-symbolshelper by then for unity stuff and just gave up at the end, there was always issues11:22
chrisccoulsonseb128, yeah, i guess it's easier for libraries that don't change their public symbols a lot11:24
chrisccoulsonjibel, if i provided test results in junit xml, would jenkins show failures without my test suite having to exit with a non-zero exit code?11:25
jibelchrisccoulson, publication of junit test results is not enabled for autopkgtest, but that's something we could add.11:30
jibelchrisccoulson, if FF testsuite already generates junit result files, I can do it for your PPA11:31
chrisccoulsonjibel, i think there is only 1 test suite that currently is able to do that. i'd need to add support for the others11:32

chrisccoulsonwe'll get there eventually :)11:48
lifelesschrisccoulson: what test runner are you using?11:50
lifelesschrisccoulson: if you need junit output, and its python, there is a library I wrote - junitxml, in ubuntu or on pypi11:51
lifelesschrisccoulson: if you have subunit, just pipe through subunit2junitxml11:51

ogra_apw, thanks, also could we switch from g_serial to g_composite with the next upload ? i have a tester in #ubuntu-arm who claims it works fine for him and we want serial as well as networking (for transfering files)  on the OTG port12:44
apwogra_, i have no idea how to do that :)12:44
ogra_apw, thats USB_CDC_COMPOSITE instead of USB_G_SERIAL12:44
ogra_in the config12:45
apwogra_, i can get you a kernel with that to test, how can i test it12:45
apwor ... can you test it :)12:45
ogra_you should be able to use "screen  /dev/ttyACM0 115200" from a PC when connected via USB ... and at the same time you should also see a usb0 device on that PC when connected12:46
ogra_and yeah, i can indeed test it :)12:46
apwusb0 of type 'network' in this case12:46
ogra_right12:46
ogra_that gadget driver porovides both at the same time12:46
ogra_so in the future we could have a samba setup on the nexus so poeple can excange data12:47
ogra_and at the same time still have serial debugging consoles12:47
apwso as it is i do not have anything on ACM0 is that expected ?12:49

apwwas looking for G_13:10
ogra_ah, heh13:11
ogra_i wish we could build that as modules13:11
ogra_but sadly the tegra hacks prevent us13:12
apwso CDC_COMP... =y is needed, =m is not enough ?13:12
ogra_right, somehow the power supply and battery drivers are tied deeply into the gardget code13:13
ogra_and they require =y13:13
apwsigh ...13:14
apwwith the right exports they could probabally all move =m13:14
apwbut ...13:14
ogra_apw, testing the patch from above now ... what i just notice is that "Energy when full" in upower seems to be reset every boot instead of using a fixed value from the battery13:15
ogra_so the 100% are actually a totally variable value13:15
ogra_i suspect thats the reason for the jumpy behavior13:15
ogra_apw, every bit that becomes a module gets me nearer to be able to pull plymouth into the initrd ... having them =m would be awesome13:16
apwogra_, why does it prevent plymouth?  space ?13:17
ogra_yep13:17
ogra_my bootimg cant be beigger than 8M (kernel+initrd+header)13:18
ogra_currently the kernel is 4.5M13:18
ogra_and plymouth would turn my initrd into another 4.5M pile13:18
apwogra_, ok that does work, i get a TTY and USB0, but it really upsets NM13:26
apwogra_, network manager tries to connect to it immediatly13:27
apwogra_, is that really what we want to happen by default ?13:27
apwnm is just cylcing over and over trying to connect13:27

apwogra_, unless you have anytyhing else you can think of13:41

robruahhhh ok ;-)17:27
robruqengho, what were you saying about udev switching devices out from under you? I didn't realize that was possible. Can that happen without an underlying hardware plug/unplug event?17:29
qenghorobru: It happens.  I watch it with "udevadm monitor".17:31

robruqengho, surely there's a way to verify that the image was copied correctly?17:34
qenghodd it off, perhaps.17:35
qenghorobru: also, this machine mounts it fine.17:35
robruqengho, the only trick is that it's a 650MB image and an 8GB SD card... I'll have to look up how to tell dd to only grab x many bytes, with x = the original image size....17:36
qenghoI can truncate.17:37

ogra_its is completely unconfigured ... largely the same you get running debootstrap17:39
ogra_(there arent even any networking bits in it)17:39

robrusarnold, lots of images on that page... should I be looking at omap3 or omap4?17:41
ogra_oh, no, i'm lying, 12.04 was still preinstalled17:41
ogra_12.10 is just like an x86 iso17:41
sarnoldrobru: omap4 for pandaboard17:41
qenghoogra_: so, the 12.04 preinstalled result will run on the SD card.17:41

robruqengho, latest raring image not working for me; same failure: shows bootsplash, then screen loses signal / powers down, pandaboard gives heartbeat continuously but nothing happens.18:03
qenghorobru: that sounds familliar, all except no signal.  I was getting cramfs shell.18:04
qenghorobru: I have heard that we should abandon R for now and use P.18:05
robruqengho, I'm not really familiar with the cramfs shell... but during bootsplash I can hit 'esc' on my keyboard and witness that various booting steps are happening, but then right when you expect lightdm to show up, I get nothing instead.18:05
robruqengho, yeah, flashing P now18:05
robruqengho, yeah, so that precise-preinstalled image doesn't boot on my pandaboard. all I get is two solid lights.18:13
robrufollowed the instructions exactly, from gunzip to dd to sync.18:13
seb128robru, what monitor do you have connected on the board? do you use an adaptor dvi->hdmi?18:15
robruyeah, dvi monitor.18:15
seb128hum, I think there was a gotcha there18:15
seb128like pitti and others didn't manage to get that work18:15
ogra_if the leds are solid from the first second oyu did something wrong18:15
qenghorobru: *Solid* lights, though.18:15
seb128it might be that your box is working but your connection to the dvi monitor is not18:16
ogra_robru, you made sure to dd to the device not to a partition ?18:16
robruqengho, ogra_ seb128 : oh wait, soemthing is happening now. dunno, they were solid for several minutes... now it's booting18:16
robruogra_, yeah, definitley dd'd to the device18:16
ogra_right, if it move on then its fine18:16
robruhmmm, odd that it would randomly start working now. this has been dogging me all week18:17
ogra_starting ubiquity can actually leave you with a black screen for quite a while (a minite or two), an SD card is simply a bad medium18:17
ogra_also if you see something like out of syc from your monitor switching to console and back can fix that18:18
robruogra_, do you mean a signal of blackness? or no actual signal? because my monitor would report there was "no signal" and then power down. until now. this is the first time ubiquity would even start18:18
ogra_well, not sure i dont see such issues, it really depends on the monitor afaik18:19
robruso, ubiquity is working, only issue is that the screen is way skewed (like it's sending a 4:3 signal and my widescreen is stretching it to fill the screen)18:20
ogra_what kind of monitor is that ? HD capable ?18:20
robruogra_, yep, it's a 1080p, just no HDMI connector, DVI only18:21
ogra_if the driver doesnt get proper EDID data it falls back to something like 800x60018:21
ogra_by default it should always use the highest resolution it detects18:22
robruogra_, do you think a cable that is HDMI at one end and DVI at the other end would interfere with EDID? I've never had any issues with any other hardware detecting the resolution of this screen. I routinely plug it into my PC and my laptop18:22
ogra_for some monitors you need to use their auto-adjust functions though18:22
ogra_(to have the full scxreen pic displayed properly)18:23
ogra_no, i use such cables here too (but also plain hdmi cables)18:23
kenvandinerobru, i had a terrible time getting hdmi->dvi working on my panda board18:27
kenvandineso i switched to a monitor with hdmi18:27
kenvandinei spent hours trying to get it to work... then someone told me it wouldn't18:28
kenvandinepgraner maybe...18:28
robrukenvandine, heh. well I unfortunately can't just shell out for a new monitor right now, much as I'd like to... unless the company wants to buy me one ;-)18:28
ogra_try the "other" HDMI port too ... might be that it is better at reading EDID (or worse)18:29
ogra_(teh signal is the same on both, just that the plain HDMI socket has sound)18:30
robruogra_, which one is the "plain" HDMI port?18:31
robruright now it's plugged into the one nearer to the USB18:32
ogra_the one that has HDMI written next to it on the PCB18:32
ogra_they are labeled18:32
robruogra_, yeah, screen is stuck at 1024x768. dunno18:41
robruogra_, also, I keep getting "wired network disconnected" notification bubbles... there never was a wired connection, did it wireless from the start. no idea why it keeps freaking out about the wired being disconnected.18:41
ogra_even when you boot the boatd when plugged into the other port ?18:41
qenghorobru: if you're interested in the udev stuff,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/1590398/18:44
ogra_robru, the NM messages are a bug thats fixed in an SRU, update :)18:44
robruogra_, heh,ok, updatind now18:44
qenghoThat's a DD.  At start of dd, "sdb", and at end, sdb is gone and sdc{,1,2} exist.18:45
robruqengho, oh, no, I didn't see anything like that. I saw one or two little notices but nothing that crazy18:45
qenghoOkay, I'm switching to all new hardware.  I don't trust anything now.  Brb.18:45
robruqengho, hehe, maybe. although I will admit that I didn't start udevadm until after the dd already started, so maybe I just missed the notices. who knows.18:46

robruqengho, mine's working now too, not sure what changed, other than the install image. I guess I was just using bad images all along.19:30

mterrybryce, here's the version list for that env: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1590518/19:35
qenghoOkay, I lied. This new SD card is throwing IO errors, and that's making fsck on boot think there are things to fix, which is causing a fsck+reboot loop.19:36

brycemterry, not getting a good stack trace out of the crash file - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1590572/19:58
brycemterry, can jenkins do ubuntu-bug after a crash?  that might be more helpful19:59
* bryce --> lunch, bbiab19:59
mterrybryce, hm20:03
mterrybryce, and actually file a bug?20:03
mterrybryce, there may be non-ubuntu packages involved, which ubuntu-bug hates, eh?20:04
seb128just get one of the jenkins guys to install the -dbg on the server?20:04
seb128it's probably going to be easier than having to figure the ubuntu-bug thing20:05
mterryseb128, does that help with creation of crash files?  (not sure why jenkins having dbg would help)20:07
seb128mterry, yes, you would get the debug inofs in the dump without need for retracing20:07
mterryseb128, ooh nice20:08
mterrybryce, we can install -dbg packages in jenkins if it will help.  Do you figure xserver-xorg-core-dbg and what else would likely be useful in an x crash?20:12
brycemterry, libdrm, mesa, the ddx driver20:50
brycehard to say for certain without knowing what it's crashing in.20:50
robrubah, got back from lunch to discover pandaboard heartbeat had stopped. I had updates installing while I left...20:53
brycemterry, make sure to pick up dmesg and Xorg.0.log subsequent to the crash, (and jockey details if a proprietary driver is loaded), if you don't want to run ubuntu-bug.  I'd like to also know the exact versions of any X packages involved20:53
brycesome day we can chat over beers about why automated testing systems ought to be able to generate proper bug reports when they find errors ;-)20:56
robruogra_, qengho: so I've rebooted my pandaboard, and it has a heartbeat, but there's no picture on my screen. my screen seems to be toggling back and forth between having a signal and not having a signal, so the pandaboard seems to be repeatedly trying, and failing, to discover my screen. dunno what the hell happened. some update broke it I guess.20:57
brycemterry, you may be able to just `python3 /usr/share/apport/package-hooks/source_xorg.py` to get it to spit out  an X report even if there are non-compliant packages installed20:59
mterrybryce, I think we can run ubuntu-bug.  I didn't realize we could just save it to a file.  We'll do that and include it in the jenkins output artifacts21:04
mterrybryce, and install some of those dbg packages21:04
mterrybryce, thanks!21:04
brycemterry, cool sounds good21:04
brycemterry, if you can repro the crash and log in and attach gdb to it, that would be an alternative way to capture a full backtrace if ubuntu-bug still doesn't pan out21:06
brycemterry, meanwhile I'll go through some of the recently reported xserver crashes, maybe we have a dupe crash somewhere21:06
brycemterry, btw what's the video driver on the system?  intel?21:07
mterrybryce, nvidia21:10
bryceoho21:11
mterrybryce, sorry, I should have mentioned that earlier21:11
brycemterry, no prob, but it does change the nature of the beast.  Gathering a backtrace isn't likely going to work.21:14
qenghorobru: Sad panda.21:14
bryceguess this explains what was wrong with the core...21:15
mterrybryce, ah.  I guess that makes sense.  I forgot how nvidia integrates itself in ther21:15
