[08:41] oSoMoN, ça va bien, et toi? [08:47] on fait aller :) [08:47] good morning desktopers [08:47] lut oSoMoN [08:47] salut seb128 [08:48] lut jibel [08:54] morning all [08:55] hey willcooke, how are you today? [08:56] hey seb128. Long story ;) [08:57] hey willcooke, seb128 [09:02] morning! [09:05] hi Laney [09:08] hey willcooke [09:09] hey Laney [09:18] hey Laney, how are you? [09:27] hey oSoMoN, hey seb128! [09:28] seb128: good, getting back into it! [09:28] being spammed on lots of gnome irc channels [09:28] good week / good day off? [09:29] not a week, just a longer w.e :) and yes, spent some days in France that was nice and relaxing [09:29] what about you, good week off? [09:31] yeah, lots of pub / walk / hanging out [09:31] opened email 0 times which was fun yesterday ;-) [09:31] cold though [09:33] :) [09:33] snow? [09:34] we had a bit over the w.e, that was nice [09:35] little bit on the hilltops [09:35] but not much :( [09:35] it was icy on some days though and the place is very hilly [09:35] so sliding around [09:35] funscary [11:06] jbicha, hi, I am going to pick up your proposed firefox packaging changes for the next trunk build, and forward-port from there [11:29] kenvandine, you had a machine with nvidia hw, iirc? [11:36] oSoMoN: he does. but he uses nouveau AIUI [11:38] right, I remember now [11:38] kenvandine, any chance you can switch temporarily to the proprietary driver to help me debug the chromium snap issue? [11:38] * Laney is using nvidia [11:39] but if you need any actual snap help I might not be the best person :-) [11:40] Laney, you’re using the proprietary drivers? [11:41] yeah [11:41] don't tell rms [11:43] Laney, I won't, if you can confirm that the chromium snap doesn't work ;) [11:44] oSoMoN: stable? [11:45] yes, stable [11:46] as a bonus if you can try beta and edge that'd be nice, but I expect the result will be identical [11:47] yeah it's just a black window [11:48] and apparmor isn't happy [11:48] ok, that's consistent with what popey and others are seeing [11:48] Laney, what are the denials? [11:49] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26118048/ [11:52] Laney, any seccomp denial? [11:53] https://paste.ubuntu.com/26118073/ saw those on beta/edge [11:53] all black too [11:54] hmm, seccomp, where's that? [11:56] on my machine I get them in /var/log/audit/audit.log [11:56] they should be in syslog/journal [11:56] * Laney doesn't have that [11:56] what does it look like? [11:57] I mean I have entries from audit in journal but they look the same as those denials to me [11:57] just with AVC at the start [11:58] that syscall=133 entry is mknod, looks like the same issue that mvo looked into [11:59] Laney, would you mind stracing it to confirm the node it fails to create? see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/stracing-snap-commands/1433 [12:02] oSoMoN: yeah, the only mknod it shows is for /dev/nvidiactl [12:05] oSoMoN: I still see this syscall=133 issue, iirc when we talked last you looked into the chromium source to see if its needed, we should have that in the core snap but I guess chromium is building its own sandbox or something(?) [12:07] yeah, I *think* the relevant code is here: https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/content/gpu/gpu_sandbox_hook_linux.cc?sq=package:chromium&l=195 [12:09] oSoMoN: did you talk to jdstrand about the mknod issue on nvidia with chromium yet? maybe we can just add it [12:11] mvo, I did a while ago, but I don't remember the outcome of the conversation [12:13] oSoMoN: thanks, I wonder if we could simply allow mknod in the confinement with argument filtering on nvidiactl [12:14] oSoMoN: but something for jdstrand to decide :) [12:15] yeah [12:15] I don't recall otoh what you are referring to [12:16] jdstrand, see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-chromium-62-0-3202-62/2569/42 [12:16] (but we can't arg filter in the manner described because we can't arg filter on the path) [12:16] the chromium snap fails to render when run on nvidia hardware with the proprietary drivers [12:17] and this appears to be down to something chromium tries to do with /dev/nvidiactl [12:21] oSoMoN: this seems related to chromium's own seccomp sandbox [12:22] I mean, based on the incompleete strace [12:23] there is something very wrong there. it successfully stats, later gets ENOENT from seccomp, it tries to stat, gets eperm, then tries to mknod [12:23] I mean, none of that seems like it should go together [12:24] why would you stat a file that you got ENOENT on? why would you mknod a file you got EPERM on? [12:25] yeah, that doesn't look right [12:26] the seccomp denial is for open. we allow that so that should be chromium's seccomp sandbox [12:26] in fact I think the relevant code is https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/gpu/ipc/service/gpu_init.cc?type=cs&q=nvidiactl&sq=package:chromium&l=83 [12:26] I suspect there may be an interaction between chromium's namespace setup and the per-snap mount namespace [12:28] * oSoMoN is lost in (sandbox) translation [12:28] I don't have nvidia hardware [12:29] I wonder if you passed --no-sandbox (is that the right option) to chromium if it would make it work [12:29] that might give a clue if it is sandbox interactions [12:30] yes, if you pass --no-sandbox, you get a window [12:31] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/Zs63UnQq/chromium_snap_on_nvidia_with_no_sandbox [12:35] oSoMoN: that may be a clue ^ [12:36] ah, that's a good clue indeed [12:36] popey, do you get hw-accelerated rendering? see the output of chrome://gpu [12:37] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/3lhImbzG/I%20think%20so [12:37] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/HDGGxDgW/unsnapped%20chrome%20on%20same%20machine [12:38] so not quite the same, no [12:39] oSoMoN: CanAccessNvidiaDeviceFile() should return true with just apparmor (access() isn't mediated by apparmor). if the chromium sandbox sets up a mount namespace, its possible it isn't accounting for snap-confine's mount namespace [12:43] oSoMoN: also the fact that it is trying to mknod should indicate that this is happening in the privileged code since the process would need CAP_MKNOD to have any chance of success with that call [12:45] the forum post is a bit light on details. I don't see any reference to logged denial (or lack thereof) [12:46] oSoMoN: it might also be interesting to add 'capability mknod,' to the chromium apparmor profile and running without --no-sandbox. capability denials are rate limited and may not always show up [12:47] jdstrand, see https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/call-for-testing-chromium-62-0-3202-62/2569/25 [12:48] oSoMoN: that's with an old snapd though. the udev_enumerate error should be fixed [12:49] oSoMoN: what was happening there is that nvidiactl wasn't udev tagged since nvidia is a proprietary driver and not allowed to use sysfs [12:49] oSoMoN: because eit wasn't udev tagged, it wasn't added to the per-snap device cgroup [12:51] ok [12:53] oSoMoN: you could try this: add 'capability mknod,' to the apparmor profile, then add 'mknod' to /var/lib/snapd/seccomp/bpf/snap.chromium...src, then do 'sudo /snap/core/current/usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp compile /var/lib/snapd/seccomp/bpf/snap.chromium....src /var/lib/snapd/seccomp/bpf/snap.chromium....bin [12:53] (also reload the apparmor profile) [12:54] jdstrand, I don't have nvidia hw myself, Laney/popey can you try that? [12:54] oSoMoN: if that works, then do an strace of the working version [12:55] to reload the apparmor profile, do 'sudo apparmor_parser -r /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.chromium.chromium [12:55] so those ...src and ...bin files would by snap.chromium.chromium.src and snap.chromium.chromium.bin, respectively [12:55] be* [12:56] and the strace should use https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/stracing-snap-commands/1433 [12:57] oSoMoN: ok [12:58] jbicha: stuck at first step - "add 'capability mknod,' to the apparmor profile... wat? [12:59] sorry jbicha , i meant jdstrand :) [12:59] popey: add 'capability mknod,' to /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.chromium.chromium, then run 'sudo apparmor_parser -r /var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.chromium.chromium [12:59] ' [13:00] popey: you have r3604 of the core snap? [13:00] (ie, 16-2.29.4.2) [13:00] yes [13:00] k [13:02] popey: after you load the apparmor profile, then modify /var/lib/snapd/seccomp/bpf/snap.chromium.chromium to have mknod. then do: sudo /snap/core/current/usr/lib/snapd/snap-seccomp compile /var/lib/snapd/seccomp/bpf/snap.chromium.chromium.src /var/lib/snapd/seccomp/bpf/snap.chromium.chromium.bin [13:02] done that [13:02] now need to reload apparmor profile..? [13:03] popey: then do: sudo strace -u -e '!select,pselect6,_newselect,clock_gettime' -f -D -vv -o ./chromium.trace /snap/bin/chromium [13:03] popey: yes, see above [13:03] ok [13:03] all done, now to trace [13:04] ok, chromium launched [13:04] and giant trace file made [13:04] popey: did it not launch before? [13:05] previously it launched but blank window [13:05] it only launched successfully with --no-sandbox [13:05] popey: and you launched without using --no-sandbox? [13:05] on this trace session, yes [13:05] ok, can you make that trace available somewhere? [13:05] on it [13:06] jdstrand: http://people.canonical.com/~alan/chromium.trace.gz [13:06] popey: also, can you paste the output of cat /sys/fs/cgroup/devices/snap.chromium.chromium/devices.list? [13:07] jdstrand: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26118453/ [13:08] popey: when ready, can you undo your apparmor and seccomp changes (reloading the apparmor profile and recompiling the seccomp profile) and run the strace again, reporting if it broke again? [13:08] is removing / reinstalling the snap sufficient to undo that? [13:09] yes [13:09] and then again after a reboot [13:10] (to make sure the cgroup is cleared) [13:10] ugh [13:10] I _really_ don't want to reboot [13:10] the reboot is less important at this moment [13:11] popey: I need to run an errand, but will checkc back [13:12] jdstrand: http://people.canonical.com/~alan/chromium.trace2.gz [13:12] kk [13:13] popey: did the second trace fail again? [13:13] yes [13:14] popey: let me rephrase. after reinstalling, did it fail in the same way as before you made the apparmor/seccomp changes? [13:14] yes [13:14] blank window [13:14] ok [13:14] first trace is what I would call a "successful" launch of chromium - a browser window appeared. Second trace is what I'd call a "fail" - an empty window containing a grab of what was under the window when launched [13:16] I think the first stat is snap-confine [13:21] so the successful trace.gz shows it is trying to mknod /dev/nvidiactl for no good reason, it is getting EPERM, ignoring it and moving on and trying to open() it [13:21] this doesn't seemed to be coded correctly [13:22] oSoMoN: ^ (feel free to look at trace.gz (the successful run with apparmor/seccomp changes) and trace2.gz (the unsuccessful one without) [13:22] ) [13:22] jdstrand, popey : ack, thanks [13:22] going for a quick lunch and I'll take a close look [13:23] oSoMoN: if you could figure out where it is mknod()ing that, comment it out, I suspect it would work. an upstream patch for the needless mknod() would obviously do more than that [13:24] oSoMoN: soon, with tyhicks' seccomp won't kill PR, this would also go away [13:24] oSoMoN: (I suspect) [13:24] ok, I really need to go [13:24] bbl [13:31] oSoMoN: jdstrand looks like this is where they do it? https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/content/gpu/gpu_sandbox_hook_linux.cc?q=kNvidiaCtlPath&l=195 [13:31] oSoMoN: actually, you technically wouldn't need to send up an upstream patch. you distro patch to remove the mknod until tyhicks PR lands, then can remove. granted, upstream is wrong and burning syscalls [13:31] ok, really leaving === mpt_ is now known as mpt [14:09] ricotz: thanks! 😀 [14:30] ok, it's meeting time [14:31] #startmeeting Desktop Team Weekly Meeting - 2017-12-05 [14:31] Meeting started Tue Dec 5 14:31:15 2017 UTC.

[14:42] - avahi: Received the patch for advertising services on localhost. It is actually a one-liner! One of the GSoC 2017 students did it for me. I have reviewed it and now I am preparing for testing it. Now 18.04 will ship the complete driverless printing fun, including USB. [14:42] - Google Summer of Code 2018: Sahil (who did the PCLm support in cups-filters, for Mopria and WiFi Direct) got his first job starting in July 2018 (congrats), but wants to do (and we want, too) the GSoC 2018, too. He has the next two months free, so he will do his GSoC 2018 in Dec 2017, Jan 2018, and May 2018. Similar will probably happen with Nilanjana. I will probably mentor these students. If all works out 18.04 will already have some GSoC 201 [14:42] 8 code, shipping one month before start of official GSoC 2018 coding. [14:43] - Google Summer of Code 2018: Continued planning.

[14:47] seb128: btw, I filed the MIR needed for latest udisks LP: #1735499 but it needs libblockdev to get autopkgtests and 2 more MIRs [14:47] Launchpad bug 1735499 in udisks2 (Ubuntu) "[MIR] libblockdev" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1735499 [14:49] jbicha, thanks, those are for the recommends? what features are missing without those extra plugins? [14:49] seb128: sorry I arrived few minutes later, thanks for pasting :) [14:50] Trevinho, no worry, good morning, how are you today? [14:50] seb128: libblockdev-crypto2 is for LUKS so I think we really want that, but I haven't looked very closely at all of it [14:52] seb128: I'm good, thanks... what about you? [14:54] Trevinho, I'm good thanks [14:54] great to hear :) [14:59] What component in 17.10 creates the .local and .config directories? [15:03] mdeslaur: I guess the first app that is launched and that might need them? :o [15:04] hrm, I'm looking at bug 1735929 and trying to figure out what that might be [15:04] bug 1735929 in Ubuntu "security problems with incorrect permissions for ubuntu 17.10" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1735929 [15:06] mdeslaur, I would guess gnome-settings-daemon but it might be that other components who need those dirs create them if they don't exist as well [15:08] mdeslaur, https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-settings-daemon/tree/plugins/housekeeping/gsd-housekeeping-manager.c#n391 [15:08] mdeslaur: so I think, one thing we can do is having a component creating them earlier with proper rights... [15:08] popey: mind doing another test for me? [15:08] might be even a migration script, no? [15:08] Trevinho, ^ that code is supposed to be that no [15:08] seb128: yeah, but it might run after other things in session I guess [15:09] hmm, I don't see mkdirsnoop in https://github.com/iovisor/bcc [15:09] but it would be the perfect tool to discover who creates the directory, if it existed [15:10] maybe fatrace [15:11] mdeslaur: not sure if adding just an inotify monitor would help in saying the process who creates things [15:11] I mean the package called fatrace [15:12] Isn't it xdg-user-dirs-update? [15:12] hey tedg [15:12] hey tedg [15:12] oh hey tedg [15:12] mdeslaur: what about having something ship those directories in /etc/skel/ ? [15:12] hi tedg [15:13] tedg, that handles images/videos/templates/etc not the private dirs [15:13] Howdy folks, ah, I thought it did all of them. [15:13] jbicha, what about stack unreliable workarounds rather than fixing the bug? :) [15:13] stacking* [15:13] it does make ~/.config but only because that's where user-dirs own config lives [15:13] IIRC [15:14] that component didn't change for years though, so if we are looking at a bug it's not likely there [15:14] Perhaps it should make .local and that would fix mdeslaur's bug ;-) [15:15] popey: when you have a moment: http://paste.ubuntu.com/26119147/ [15:15] hey tedg! :) [15:16] * tedg blushes from all the hellos :-) [15:18] popey: actually, make that http://paste.ubuntu.com/26119164/ (the first should be enough so if you started with that, that's fine) [15:20]
