[11:15] <fgimenez> hi Saviq, yesterday i took a look into this https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/generic-deb-autopilot-runner-vivid-mako/2080/console during my vanguard turn
[11:15] <fgimenez> Saviq, i haven't confirmed it yet but it seems that the messages are coming from the dbus package http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/dbus-python/vivid/view/head:/dbus/proxies.py#L413
[11:16] <fgimenez> Saviq, this seems to be the loop http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/dbus-python/vivid/view/head:/dbus/proxies.py#L386
[11:17] <Saviq> fgimenez, oh, I'd think the exception would be raised in that case?
[11:17] <fgimenez> Saviq, i'll try to confirm it this evening and ping you with the results
[11:17] <Saviq> fgimenez, thanks

[15:27] <fgimenez> elopio, it seems  that Savic's issue https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/generic-deb-autopilot-runner-vivid-mako/2080/console comes from the dbus library
[15:28] <fgimenez> elopio, i've managed to reproduce something similar http://paste.ubuntu.com/10871535/ by modifying this function http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/dbus-python/vivid/view/head:/dbus/connection.py#L602
[15:29] <fgimenez> elopio, this happens when calling autopilot/introspection/_search.py#get_proxy_object_for_existing_process, but there's no exception raised, should ap be aware of any timeout?
[15:32] <elopio> fgimenez: lots of information, that's good, thanks!
[15:33] <elopio> and I don't know. I'm still parsing what you are saying. fgimenez: it would be better to send an email to veebers, with cc to the qa list.
[15:34] <elopio> fgimenez: the issue is that unity is dying, right? What you are digging is to report a better error message in that case? or am I completely lost?
[15:35] <fgimenez> elopio, yep, ap is trying to get the proxy object for the unity8 process, but it has already died, or is not accessible by dbus
[15:36] <fgimenez> elopio, then it seems that dbus spends a lot of time asking the introspection tree
[15:36] <fgimenez> elopio, locally and with a custom error_handler it doesn't take too much, in jenkins the job timeout is expired
[15:41] <fgimenez> elopio, will put it together in an email, i'll try to understand first which objects are queried exactly in dbus after the first error
[15:53] <elopio> fgimenez: nice.
[15:58] <elopio> fgimenez: Saviq: about restarting as a workaround while you solve the unity hang, I think I prefer to keep the tests failing.
[15:59] <Saviq> fgimenez, in our case unity8 is deadlocked in dbus (bug #1421009)
[15:59] <ubot5> bug 1421009 in qtbase-opensource-src (Ubuntu) "unity8 sometimes hangs on boot" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1421009
[16:00] <Saviq> elopio, meh, but we might get ↑ fixed soon anyway
[16:14] <elopio> Saviq: that would be perfect :)
[20:29] <balloons> veebers, heya. So mhall is away in London this week, but apartly IS is running into some trouble with his request to land things (including the docs). Just wanted to give you a heads up
[20:32] <veebers> balloons: ack thanks. Any idea what the issues are?
[20:35] <balloons> veebers, my brain is failing me at this hour. Presumably they are noted in the ticket should you have a link handy
[20:35] <balloons> we can inquire directly with IS; might be better
