Laneypretty good thanks08:04
Laneylast night I played Papers Please then fell asleep during the football ;-)08:04
seb128what a boring game08:05
Laneyfound out the result this morning though08:05
seb128neither team wanted to risk playing and taking a goal08:05
didrocksPapers Please isn't a boring game :)08:05
Laneyyeah that's what happens I guess08:05
Laneyyou just tighten up because the stakes are high08:05
seb128Germany didn't08:05
Laneydidrocks: it kind of is in a way, but that's also the point08:05
seb128they scorer 7-108:05
seb128scored08:06
LaneyI mean that I can understand why a game might be like that08:06
didrocksLaney: training for the China trip? :)08:06
Laneyeven if I don't like games decided on penalties08:06
seb128right, same here08:06
Laneydidrocks: I always take the bribes ;-)08:07
didrocksahah08:07
Laneyor let people in if they have a good story08:07
* Laney is the best guard08:07
Laneyhm08:32
Laneywhat's happened to ubuntu-bug?08:33
Laneyit's trying to call "whoopsie-upload-all" now, whatever that is08:33

pittiLaney: workaround: use apport-cli08:34

darkxstHey Laney, pitti, seb128 , didrocks09:18
didrockshey darkxst!09:18
seb128hey darkxst09:18
darkxstvery wet down under!09:19
Laneyyo09:19
pittihey darkxst09:21
pittibonjour seb12809:22
seb128pitti, salut, ça va ?09:22
pittiseb128: ça va bien ! I've been debugging an umockdev regression with latest X.org synaptics driver for hours, and finally found the reason09:23
pittiseb128: did you see last night's game?09:23
pittiI didn't, and after reading the outcome this morning I'm glad that I didn't09:23
darkxstso what is happening with gnome-desktop then? I can't reproduce your races (Laney)09:24
Laneywas hoping Robert would reply, no news since my email09:24
darkxstLaney, ok09:25
darkxstwe have a similar bug on trusty but pretty sure that is due to mismatch between gnome-shell using displayconfig and g-s-d xrandr using direct xrandr calls09:26
Laneycan you think how I can debug early start of the displayconfig that gets bus activated?09:27
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|tea
Laneythe problem is any subsequent launches make the problem get fixed09:27
Laneyso I really need to get inside the first one09:27
darkxstLaney, I tend to drop in wrapper scripts in place of the real binary09:28
Laneybut I'll need it to start an interactive process (gdb)09:28
darkxstI did manage to do that once09:30
Laneymaybe I can upstart launch a terminal which runs gdb and sets the breakpoints and so on ...09:32
=== alan_g|tea is now known as alan_g
seb128pitti, sorry, was otp for visa stuff ... yeah, I saw the game, most boring game ever09:48
seb128none of the team dared playing09:48
pittiseb128: yeah, I read the summaries this morning09:48
seb128they just turned round with the ball in the middle waiting09:48
pittiafraid to win..09:48
seb128for the whole match09:48
darkxstLaney, I have in the past launched gdb in an xterm via wrapper script, however not sure if you can set a  breakpoint from commandline, I probably used g_breakpoint in the code)10:11
Laneyyou can give it a script to run10:11
darkxstLaney, oh '-iex'10:12
didrocksFatal Python error: PyImport_GetModuleDict: no module dictionary!10:26
didrockshum…10:26
didrocksno info of where this happened10:26
didrocksand core dump10:26
seb128gdb!10:28
darkxstdidrocks, I am going to say, welcome to the horrendous world of python bindings ;)10:29
didrocksheh10:29
didrocksI'm sure it remembers good story to mvo as well10:29
darkxstseb128, pybt is at best pot luck10:30
darkxstI do a fair bit of my PhD work in a python wrapper around a c++ library10:31
darkxstit is impossible to find the underlying bugs (in the library) via any combination of python, gdb and what not10:32
LaneyI had similar with python-apt a little while ago10:33
Laneyall of the marshalling makes it a nightmare10:34
LaneyI did manage to use faulthandler to get a quite good backtrace though10:34
darkxstLaney, maybe, but it seems a lot quicker to just write test cases in c++ and gdb that10:39
Laneydepends where the bug is10:41
darkxstLaney, right, in our case the python stuff is just bindings for c++ code, so bugs are 99% in the c++ code10:42
darkxstits all pretty crap though, a lot of bugs are just python GC'ing objects etc10:45
darkxstI would happily send python to the furnaces, but I have well thousands of lines of code here ;(10:48
Laneyshoulda used haskell :-)10:50
darkxstLaney, I didnt write the libraries, and if I did they wouldn't have been rubbush c++10:51

* didrocks encounters again a python bug… http://bugs.python.org/issue2104411:12
ogra_blame barry11:12
didrocksfor everything!11:12
ogra_:)11:12
didrocksI wonder why issue only shows up when the decompression is threaded though11:14
davmor2didrocks: no for every and anything you blame popey for python specifics you blame barry and for stuff breaking you blame ogra_  :D11:15
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch
didrocksok, workarounded this bug11:31
didrockswill then poke barry11:31
didrockstime for a late run11:32
didrocksthen, once back, will look at the tracker MIR (finally)11:32
darkxstdidrocks, yay!11:37

margaI don't understand this policy of asking people that are affected by exactly the same bug to file new reports12:22
margaeg: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/122199512:22
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1221995 in linux (Ubuntu) "0a12:0001 Bluetooth Dongle (Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd) doesnt work on ubuntu 13.10" [Medium,Incomplete]12:22
margaThe original bug already included all the info. A bunch of us said "We have the same issue", then we were asked to file new reports (what for?!).12:23
margaIn the new report filed, it was asked "When did this start happening?" which was already answered in the original report.12:23
margaThen, someone else said, "I have this issue too", and they were asked to file yet another bug report.12:24
margaWhat's the point of all this duplicates? Spreading the information about one problem in separate bugs only makes tracking the bug harder.12:25

didrocksczajkowski: I'm one of the organizer of the desktop room FYI, not sure still if we'll have an Unity talk this time15:39
czajkowskididrocks: ah you already got told you got the room ?15:40
didrocksczajkowski: not yet (it's in october), but the request is done. It would be surprising to not have a room for the desktop environments though ;)15:41
