furkantjaalton: the new radeon TearFree feature fixes my problem19:05
tjaaltonfurkan: guess it just hides the problem then19:31
boaxhello22:52
boaxthere is a critical bug in ubuntu 15.04!22:52
boaxi am talking in #ubuntu-devel and in  #xorg-devel22:52
boaxin two days there should be the release of 15.04 and its fully unusable on some machines!22:53
boaxhow to reproduce: dd the most recent daily build into an usb pendrive, boot from it, open libreoffice -> there is an Xorg server crash22:53

boaxthis report here looks same: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=19566622:55
RAOFboax: Is there an Ubuntu bug filed?23:23
boaxRAOF: i was able to face that all down23:24
boaxhttp://pastebin.com/9K0W1NwU23:24
boaxis related to an gnome 3.14 bug23:24
RAOFboax: You should have got a prompt to submit an error report to Launchpad?23:25
boaxRAOF: check the last message here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=19481923:25
boaxthe bug is somewhat strange. it come on few machines but on those machines it always come23:25
boaxand makes those machines somewhat unusable23:25
RAOFSure.23:26
RAOFHave you filed a bug on launchpad?23:26
RAOFHave you got a ‘submit error’ popup?23:26
boaxi cant beleive that i am the only one with that bug23:26
boaxor are there only that few people who test upcomming versions like 15.04?23:26
RAOFBecause if you submit the bug that way, it'll come attached with all sorts of useful debugging information.23:26
boaxthe solution for the bug seem to be: backport some things from recent gnome versions that fix that error or bump the version of gnome to the recent one that dont cause this error23:27
RAOFNeither of those is the solution to an X server crash.23:28
RAOFAt best, that's a workaround.23:28
RAOFIf you submit the bug report to Launchpad we'll get a full backtrace, with symbols, and it'll be much more likely that we can fix it.23:28
boaxRAOF: you are a dev that could help when reported the way you explain here?23:31
RAOFYes.23:31
boaxokay. to help you providing the information you need i have to start the system that crashes, let it crash and then when it ask me if it should send the crash report  have to answer yes?23:33
boaxhow can that be done on an machine that does not have an internet connection?23:33
RAOFHah. That's a little more difficult, but not too much.23:33
boaxi have an usb pendrive that can travel the data from the one to the other machine23:34
RAOFWhen the machine crashes it should generate a /var/crash/_usr_bin_X_something_or_other.crash file.23:34
boaxokay. i get that for you :)23:35
RAOFOn a machine with an internet connection you can then run “ubuntu-bug that_crash_file”, and it'll do the reporting bits.23:36
boaxRAOF: okay. i have the file after making it 777 to be able to copy it to the usb pendrive as a normal user. its about 5mb. the machine i have internet on is not ubuntu. should i upload the file to you?23:39
RAOFOk; if you can put it somewhere I can download it.23:40
boaxuploading... have you already an idea on what part the bug could be? Xorg server?23:41
RAOFIf the X server's crashing it's an X bug.23:44
RAOF(Almost certainly)23:44
boaxyou got the file? Check your query ;)23:45
RAOFYup.23:46
RAOFYou've hit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/144345623:46
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1443456 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in fbBltOne()" [Medium,New]23:46
boaxi told tarpman that he was right with guessting that this could be the error :)23:50
boaxcan i help somehow to debug that error?23:50
boaxi think its more then "Medium". Its critical or blocking23:50
boaxRAOF: can i do something else to help you debugging this error?23:54
RAOFNo, it seems pretty obvious what the immediate problem is; glamor shouldn't be passing in a NULL destination to fbCopy.23:55
RAOFThis doesn't look like something that should block the release, but should be fixed in an early update.23:59
