ali1234hmmm!!!!!!00:16
ali1234init: job logrotate failed to stop00:16
ali1234that is the only one00:16
ali1234it's all starting to fit together00:17
ali1234so... let's see what happens if i wait a minute before logging out00:17
ali1234yeah... the delay is only 5 seconds if that logrotate is not running00:19
ali1234aaaaaaand... fixed00:50
ali1234urgh... this code doesn't even actually work00:58
bluesabreso... not fixed?01:19
ali1234well the delay is fixed01:26
ali1234no idea what side effects it would have though01:26
ali1234the quiesce code is really silly... it prints a list of "slow" jobs... but it doesn't do it after most of the jobs have stopped01:30
ali1234it has a routine that tries to figure out how long to wait, but it returns 5 seconds by default even if there are no jobs to wait for - that's half the problem01:32
bluesabreits pretty awesome that you've been able to crack down on this so much01:36
Unit193Which?  The lag or the indicators? :P01:38
bluesabrewell, pretty much everything he's been working on :D01:39
ali1234:O02:05
ali1234ok the reason it always waits at least 5 seconds?02:06
ali1234it doesn't even send the shutdown request until the end of the wait period02:06
ali1234that's why there's a different result depending if you log out or shut down02:07
ali1234i think the logout bug is invalid, sorry02:51
ali1234the 5 second delay exists to catch any jobs that start after upstart told all jobs to stop02:52
ali1234it only happens on logout because in all other situations everything is going to get killed anyway02:52
drcso it's a feature not a bug...it does exactly what it's supposed to, just not what some people want?02:53
ali1234pretty much yes. that's what it looks like anyway02:53
ali1234i suspect ochosi found it particularly annoying cos he is logging in/out in under a minute repeatedly to test things02:54
ali1234in that case, the logrotate job will cause an extra 5 second delay - but only if you log out less than 1 minute after you logged in02:54
ali1234which, let's face it, is not usual user behaviour02:55
* drc tries to remember the last time ochosi was described as normal....02:56
ali1234perhaps the logrotate script can be fixed to that the sleep it does can be interrupted02:57
drcand with that thought, off to bed02:57
skellatali1234: How much of a regression do you think will be caused with our proposed simple fix?  Shall I add a comment to the bug that this may be something we end up addressing in Release Notes as a "Known Issue"?  Beta 2 Freeze is tomorrow FWIW.03:01
ali1234what fix is that?03:01
skellatLP Bug 1227212 where somebody was talking about commenting a line out03:02
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1227212 in upstart "Session logout takes too long" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/122721203:02
skellatThough my memory may be faulty03:02
ali1234ah that... well, that means xubuntu does not use upstart to manage the session at all03:03
ali1234the thing is though, the 5 second delay is obviously there for a reason03:03
skellatProbably to let something gracefully quit03:03
ali1234no03:03
ali1234it's to prevent new processes starting after everything is told to quit03:04
ali1234at least that's what it looks like03:04
skellatOkay03:04
ali1234but the bottom line is either they delay is needed, in which case it's better to have it, or it's not needed and it should just be removed from upstart03:04
skellatThat makes sense 03:04
skellatHave we had input from Steve Langasek yet?03:05
ali1234no03:05
skellatI had a root canal & major filling done today so it has been a Weird Wednesday for me03:05
skellatWhat time zone are you in?03:06
skellatAs I know Steve Langasek is on the Pacific seaboard of the US so he may or may not still be up03:06
ali1234er... BST?03:06
ali1234it's 4am here03:07
skellatAh03:07
skellatNo worries03:07
ali1234anyway, the exact cause is pinpointed in my last comment03:07
skellatI'm stuck in the middle in Ohio03:07
ali1234any upstart dev should be able to confirm that the delay is really there for the reason i speculated03:07
skellatOkay03:08
skellatWell, we'll wait & see what he has to say then.03:09
skellatIf we don't hear anything we may have to roll such into a Release Notes "Known Issue" for Beta 2.03:10
ali1234it's not even an issue03:10
ali1234it's only 5 seconds03:10
ali1234i think it's expected behaviour really03:10
skellat:-)03:11
skellatWe'll let it marinate then and see what comes of it03:12
ali1234anyway, not using upstart means using something totally different with a whole other set of problems, so i wouldn't recommend that at all03:13
skellatYeah, I've been watching the conflagration on the Debian side over systemd.  It hasn't been pretty03:14

ubottubug 1190526 in upstart (Ubuntu) "init crashed with SIGABRT in nih_discard()" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/119052603:18
ali1234hmm so the whole quiesce stuff was added in a big lump by james hunt in february and nobody else has ever touched it, so you might have to ask him what it's supposed to do03:19
* Unit193 hopes they don't go systemd.03:23
skellatUnit193: That would be calling down death from above on our position03:26
skellatali1234: I suppose so03:26
skellatEXCELLENT.  Steve Langasek just chimed in on the bug.03:27
skellatImportance shifted to High, Status is Triaged, and now assigned to James Hunt for resolution03:27
ali1234fair enough03:28
skellatSteve Langasek called it as the expected shutdown procedure is *not* happening in what you've described03:28
ali1234it still looks like it is by design, but the design is wrong :P03:29
ali1234but who knows03:29
skellatThe biggest example of the design itself being wrong in the US in cards was the Ford Pinto.  Smack the gas tank of that thing in a collision & the car exploded into flames.  Otherwise it was a drivable car.03:30

brainwashbluesabre: what a bummer, I should have checked the control file of xubuntu-default-settings more precisely, it states that "lightdm-gtk-greeter (>= 1.0.0-0ubuntu2)" is required, so adding "Provides: lightdm-gtk-greeter,.." to lightdm-gtk-greeter-gtk2 won't change anything, because of the version requirement11:13
brainwasha limitation of "Provides"11:13
bluesabrebrainwash, ah, bummer11:49
knomeoi bluesabre 11:49
knomebluesabre, apparently, the uploads by daniel have been related to *having a patch in the bug*, so maybe you'd like to do that for the shimmer-themes package as well11:50
bluesabreah11:52
bluesabreochosi: need some bugs :D11:52
brainwashbluesabre: do you think, that adding the gtk2 greeter package to the dependency list of xubuntu-default-settings might be an option to consider? so if one the gtk greeter packages is installed on the system, xubuntu-default-settings won't complain12:00
brainwashbut maybe I'm the only one who still want to use the gtk2 greeter :)12:01
bluesabrebrainwash: well, the gtk2 greeter is only available in that PPA, so I might be able to ship a daily xubuntu-default-settings in that PPA as well with a patch that removes the version check12:03
knomebbl12:03
bluesabreseeya knome12:03
knomebluesabre, btw, remember you scheduled a meeting @ 15UTC today ;)=12:04
bluesabreknome, I gave you an action item to reschedule or cancel said meeting ;)12:04

knomebluesabre, no, that's fine... if people show up, feel free to have the meeting12:05
bluesabrek, if I'm around :)12:05
knomebtw, it looks like the beta freeze is postponed until monday, but other freezes (doc/ui) stand today12:05
bluesabrelame12:05
knomeheh12:05
knomewell, that does make sense (documentation team needs to know the UI is stable, has nothing to do with beta)12:06
knome(the non-existent documentation team, i know i know!)12:06

bluesabrehard to keep docs up-to-date when we are in between having indicators and not12:07
elfyindeed12:08
elfybut I wasn't talking about us :)12:08
bluesabretrue12:08
bluesabreI expect at least one more api change following beta2 freeze12:08
elfythere's at least 4 weeks left for sabdfl to decide something just has to be released and start the argument up again :)12:09
bluesabrenah, I think he's content with what's being delivered this release12:10
elfy:)12:10
bluesabrethe big changes come with 14.04 and unity812:10
elfyI sort of take notice of that stuff - but tend to forget it all really quickly12:10
ochosibluesabre: you could get in touch with someone to upload the themes-package...12:10
bluesabreochosi: not quite sure who to ping, and I'm away from my laptop so I can't do anything if there's any additional work to do12:11
elfyfinal beta is next week isn't it? 12:20
bluesabre?12:21
bluesabreyeah, beta2 is next week12:21
