cpaelzermwhudson: I putt a decent summary in the bug so that the next that might come by only need to read the last comment and knows about the overall state05:37
mwhudsoncpaelzer: ah ok :)05:46
mwhudsonsponsors unsubscribed, i'm not in ~sru-verification so can't unsubscribe them05:46
cpaelzermwhudson: thanks, this is one of the cases that became super urgent around release and then everybody kind of forgot about the open debdiff for the config example05:47
cpaelzermwhudson: pitti: thanks for continuously pushing to get this into a proper state05:47

michael-vbGood morning.  I asked a question yesterday, but got no response.  See paste below:07:52
michael-vb(17:09:06) michael-vb: Afternoon.  Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but someone will probably know what is.07:52
michael-vb(17:09:06) michael-vb: I have the following problem with my VirtualBox Ubuntu 16.04 guest with development Guest Additions installed: when I start the guest I get the message "The system is running in low-graphics mode" (on VT 2) even though the X server is running fine (on VT 7).07:52
michael-vb(17:09:06) michael-vb: I would very much like to know exactly what logic triggers that message so I can work out why I am triggering it and change whatever is responsible (I am the developer of the VirtualBox guest driver and Additions installer).07:52
michael-vb(18:04:34) michael-vb: Interesting - I just booted the guest system twice with a loaded host (rebuilding VirtualBox) and did not get the "low-graphics mode" message.07:52
michael-vb(18:27:01) michael-vb: CRITICAL: session_get_login1_session_id: assertion 'session != NULL' failed in the lightdm log file.07:52
michael-vb(18:31:13) michael-vb: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=81476007:52
ubottuDebian bug 814760 in lightdm "randomly fails to start" [Normal,Open]07:52
sladenmichael-vb: https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2016/07/06/%23ubuntu-devel.html#t15:0907:56
sladenmichael-vb: http://askubuntu.com/questions/141606/how-to-fix-the-system-is-running-in-low-graphics-mode-error07:57
michael-vbFound that already.07:57
michael-vbI am wanting to understand this as a developer, not as a user.07:57
michael-vbsladen: it was following from that askubuntu question that I found the system log entry.07:59
michael-vbThe session clearly gets started just after lightdm checks whether it is running.07:59
michael-vbAs I said, this does not happen under high load.  I suppose the question is, who would understand this stuff well enough to tell me how I can avoid triggering it.08:01
michael-vbOr what causes the session to start too late, or lightdm too early.08:01
michael-vbI assume that some dependency is not specified well enough somewhere.08:03
sladenmichael-vb: apt-get source lightdm && grep -r "Error message"   is probably the most effective way of identifing the logic causing the error (if it is coming from lightdm)08:03
michael-vbBut it is annoying, because if it hits users they will blame us first, not you!08:03
sladenmichael-vb: I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of lightdm; the developer was Robert Ancell in the DX team08:04
sladenmichael-vb: if it's happening so of the time (seemingly randomly), then there's probably a race condition08:05
michael-vbI'm sort of suspecting that it is related to the change to systemd which upset some expectation in lightdm.08:06
sladenwillcooke: if you're around later, could you get in contact with michael-vb (upstream developer of VirtualBox guest driver), about debugging and resolving the "The system is running in low-graphics mode" message.  https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2016/07/07/%23ubuntu-devel.html#t07:52 onwards08:08
michael-vbwillcooke: and michael dot thayer at oracle if I am not on IRC at that time.08:08
michael-vbsladen, willcooke: thanks.08:08
willcookeTrevinho, is this something you can help with? ^08:11
willcookeIt looks like it's a problem with X rather than Unity though08:11
willcooke"problem"08:11
willcookemaybe tjaalton knows what triggers it? ^08:11
tjaaltonI don't, if lightdm is randomly not starting on debian (which doesn't have "failsafe-x")08:14
tjaaltonsounds like a lightdm bug to me08:15
willcookeoki08:17
willcookethanks tjaalton08:17
willcookemichael-vb, Hmm, I can't see anything obvious here.  Please log a bug in Ubuntu against lightdm if there isn't already one, and we take take a look.08:30
michael-vbwillcooke: to me it sounds like an init dependency problem.08:30
sladenmichael-vb: can we get as much of the (known good) information into a Launchpad bug report08:31
michael-vbIf I understood all this GNOME-systemd-login stuff better...08:31
michael-vbsladen: sounds reasonable.08:31
sladenmichael-vb: and then get that linked to/from the debbugs and Askubuntu pages08:31
michael-vbOh how nice, for reasons unknown I can no longer trigger it.08:33
willcooke\o/08:33
willcookefixed!08:33
willcookecertainly smells like a race then08:34
michael-vbI think that is clear enough from the Debian bug.08:34
michael-vbI think that someone from the systemd camp would be best placed to solve it.08:34
michael-vbBut before I open a bug report I will at least try to track down the error in the lightdm sources.08:36
sladenyes, it would be good to point in the bug report exactly where the origin of the assert is coming from, but if it can't be found, please file the bug report (and link to this IRC log and anytthing/everything that you've already found, so that we've got a trackable braindump in one place)08:39
michael-vbThe assertion is easy to find, I am trying to logically work out the callers.08:40
michael-vbAh, (about to show my lack of understanding of these things) is Ubuntu still using console-kit instead of systemd-logind?08:42
michael-vbI see "console-kit-daemon" in that Debian bug logging.08:42
pittihell no08:44
pittimichael-vb: we switched to logind in saucy, I believe08:44
pittioh, LXDE is still using it08:45
michael-vbAh right, logging from systemd-logind there too.08:45
pitti(at least apparently)08:45
michael-vbThis is an absolute plain Ubuntu installation.08:45
pittithen it shouldn't even be installed08:45
michael-vbNo "L", "K" or anything else.08:45
michael-vbGot the error again.  Booting from power off did not produce it, clean rebooting did.08:47
michael-vbWill open a bug.08:48
michael-vbIt would be good if I could find some way to at least avoid triggering the race, otherwise both we and you will have lots of annoyed users.08:49
mwhudsonRAOF: yeah08:51
cpaelzerpitti: any hint where I do it wrong that my local adt is unhappy (http://paste.ubuntu.com/18689738/) while e.g. last build of the same looks good https://objectstorage.prodstack4-5.canonical.com/v1/AUTH_77e2ada1e7a84929a74ba3b87153c0ac/autopkgtest-yakkety/yakkety/amd64/c/clamav/20160706_174652@/log.gz08:56

pitticpaelzer: oh, I tested xenial; as soon as my system load drops < 8 again, I'll re-test the y version10:27
cpaelzerpitti: sure - but for me it fails X&Y10:27
cpaelzerrunning with adt-virt-lxd adt/ubuntu/yakkety/amd64 triggers the same for me10:29
cpaelzerhmm, pitti is this permission denied happening at the host or guest level i.e. would running with sudo make any difference?10:30
pitticpaelzer: no, that's something guest-level10:30
cpaelzerpitti: even more interesting, when running with -ddd on adr-run and -d on adt-virt-lxd it works10:44
sladenmichael-vb: did you manage to work up a bug report?  Do you have the bug number in Launchpad so that it can be triaged?11:20
cpaelzerpitti: I got it working by adding the debug flags, and now I can remove them and it still works with the lxd case11:21
cpaelzerpitti: I'm running the kvm one just to be sure, but consider this strange issue resolved for now11:21
cpaelzerpitti: thanks for your help11:21
cpaelzerpitti: it keeps showing up in the kvm based adt - if your system load is low it would be nice to hear what happens for you if you just throw the same command I listed above at your system11:31
pitticpaelzer: running11:32
pitticpaelzer: my fingers protest about typing "adt-run", though :)11:33
pitticpaelzer: also, calling adt to build the package is annoying and unnecessary..11:35
pittibut oh well, it's almost done now, doesn't take too long11:36
cpaelzerpitti: I wanted to stick close to what failed initially for me - of course to test what is in the archive could be done way more efficient :-)11:37
pitticpaelzer: yep, get the same11:37
cpaelzeroh really11:37
cpaelzerpitti: bug report then?11:37
cpaelzerI got around it by switching to LXD and you neither want nor have to solve it like "now" - so I'd create a bug for you - ok?11:38
pittiyes (not sure whether against clamav or autopkgtest, but start with the latter -- reassinging is esay)11:38
pittithanks11:38
cpaelzerok11:38
pitticurious that -d helps, that sounds like an odd race11:38
pittialso, with -B it works fine, so the built package is somehow broken/strange11:39
cpaelzerpitti: well it only did in the lxd case, I'll put it in the bug11:39

naccgeneral question, the version of cobbler shipped in 16.04 (and presumably for some time) doesn't work OOB. I believe it is worth SRU'ing the version from 16.10 to 16.04 (sync'd from Debian), which does work OOB (and builds fine in 16.04). I don't believe there will be a clean upgrade path for users, though. Can I add cobbler to the release notes post-release? Feels icky if so. Or should I just pursue a23:45

naccjbicha: rbasak: ok, cool, I'll propose the SRU then, given that23:48
naccjbicha: makes sense! :)23:48
rbasakIf the package in 16.04 is completely broken then an SRU carries no regression risk so is generally OK.23:48
rbasakOTOH if it works, then I see what you're saying but it's up to the SRU team really.23:48
rbasak(ie. if it can be made to work)23:49
naccrbasak: i just did a quick test and installed and started cobbler as packagined in 16.04. It throws a python exception immediately :)23:49
naccrbasak: the 16.10 version runs fine23:49
rbasaknacc: then it sounds like an SRU should be fine :)23:50
naccrbasak: yeah, and i think it will close ... 10-15 bugs :)23:51
naccrbasak: verifying that now23:51
naccrbasak: what's the appropriate debdiff to provide in such a case? Or can I simply request we backport and version appropriately the 16.10 version? i have it in a ppa via requestbackport23:53
rbasaknacc: yeah a debdiff probably doesn't make sense. Perhaps point to a PPA with instructions on what to do with the changelog (eg. drop a ~ppa suffix, etc). Or put a full source package up somewhere, eg. people.c.c.23:54
naccrbasak: ack, thanks; also, can i just close cobbler bugs not updated since 11.04/11.10? i'm 99% sure they simply don't apply anymore and no one cares23:55
rbasaknacc: I would do that with an explanatory comment and an invitation for others to reopen if they think still relevant.23:57
naccrbasak: ack, thanks23:57
