|
[00:06] <desrt> also: unless you use proper access control at the kernel level, i can always ship my own nvidia driver blob and hit up the device node for myself |
|
[00:07] <RAOF> Well, you can try. :) |
|
[00:08] <RAOF> I think we *do* have proper access control, actually. |

[05:59] <mlankhorst> god morning |
|
[06:45] <pitti> Good morning |
|
[06:51] * olli waves at pitti |
|
[06:54] <pitti> hey olli |
|
[07:31] <didrocks> morning |
|
[07:37] <pitti> bonjour didrocks |
|
[07:38] <pitti> didrocks: btw, if/when you plan to work on the enabled(preset) or similar things, you know src/test/test-install.c? with those unit tests this is much easier and faster to reproduce/iterate/fix |
|
[07:41] <didrocks> pitti: oh nice, I'll work with that. Thanks to the pointer :) |
|
[07:41] <pitti> didrocks: and it's rather important to have tests for this behaviour, too :) |
|
[07:42] <didrocks> pitti: It would be good to have some other feedbacks anyway |
|
[07:42] <didrocks> yeah :) |
|
[08:00] <didrocks> pitti: so, for alternatives, I was thinking about using systemd alias rather than handling ourselves the symlinks |
|
[08:00] <didrocks> that removes a little bit of internal systemd knowledge that we put in postinst |
|
[08:01] <pitti> didrocks: not sure what you mean? |
|
[08:02] <didrocks> pitti: here is an example for lightdm: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~didrocks/lightdm/systemd-alias/revision/2099 |
|
[08:02] <pitti> didrocks: oh, for the display-manager; I thought for wants/ :) |
|
[08:03] <didrocks> ah no, for the thing I was thinking yesterday evening :) |
|
[08:03] <didrocks> so, how to treat alternatives, basically |
|
[08:03] <pitti> didrocks: oh, I like that! |
|
[08:03] <didrocks> the benefits is that it's compatible with existing ones, so we don't need to migrate everything in one shot :) |
|
[08:04] <didrocks> if you +1, I'll propose patches to debian (and maybe upload right away in ubuntu?) |
|
[08:04] <pitti> didrocks: but please note that e. g. systemctl reload won't work under upstart/sysv |
|
[08:05] <didrocks> pitti: that's the thing I need to test, will it error out? |
|
[08:05] <didrocks> (need to start a vm to test) |
|
[08:05] <pitti> fairly sure |
|
[08:05] <didrocks> let me have a try |
|
[08:05] <didrocks> if so 2>/dev/null || true |
|
[08:06] <pitti> didrocks: is-enabled/enable etc. also work without systemd, but this one might not -- so it at least needs to be guarded |
|
[08:06] <pitti> didrocks: [ -d /run/systemd/system ] |
|
[08:07] <didrocks> pitti: you prefer to guard that only call? like [ -d /run/systemd/system ] && systemctl daemon-reload |
|
[08:08] <didrocks> yeah, it's failing |
|
[08:11] <pitti> didrocks: I'm not 100% sure about is-enabled; if that works without systemd, use it; otherwise we need to check the file system directly as previously |
|
[08:11] <didrocks> pitti: it does, just tested |
|
[08:15] <didrocks> pitti: ok, so that would look like this in the end: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~didrocks/lightdm/systemd-alias/view/head:/debian/lightdm.postinst#L72 |
|
[08:17] <pitti> didrocks: why do you need the daemon-reload at this point? you didn't change anything yet? |
|
[08:18] <didrocks> pitti: we just dropped a new .service file from the package installation, no? |
|
[08:18] <pitti> didrocks: oh, for this one |
|
[08:18] <didrocks> and on upgrade, we added the alias |
|
[08:18] <didrocks> yeah |
|
[08:19] <didrocks> I was hoping that we would have some option like --force-unless-mask |
|
[08:19] <pitti> didrocks: so please run this by Josselin Mouette |
|
[08:19] <didrocks> but seems a little bit overkill :) |
|
[08:19] <didrocks> ok, doing |
|
[08:20] <pitti> didrocks: I worked with him on the sprint on that general scheme, and has a great understanding of that |
|
[08:20] <pitti> didrocks: and we should hten have the same approach in gdm |
|
[08:20] <didrocks> right :) |
|
[08:20] <pitti> didrocks: so to be clear, this is no functional change, just simpler/fewer file system assumptions, right? |
|
[08:20] <pitti> (on the way -- possibly -- to reducing symlinks in etc) |
|
[08:21] <didrocks> pitti: exactly, it's the same mechanism as of today and the results in term of symlinks are the same |
|
[08:22] <pitti> purrfect |
|
[08:22] <didrocks> but we don't rely on internals |
|
[08:22] <didrocks> so, hoping that if we can convince on clearer /etc… :) |
|
[08:22] <pitti> even if not, using the official is-enabled/enable API is better anyway |
|
[08:23] <didrocks> yeah |

[10:37] <mlankhorst> so we will use microsoft? :P |
|
[10:39] <chrisccoulson> mlankhorst, short answer - no ;) |
|
[10:40] <larsu> long answer? |
|
[10:40] <larsu> (which I presume is the more interesting one) |
|
[10:40] <chrisccoulson> larsu, the same :) |
|
[10:41] <larsu> haha :) |
|
[10:42] <larsu> short answer: no. Long answer: nein |
|
[10:45] <chrisccoulson> lol |
|
[10:45] * didrocks remembers the buzz when we talked about switching to Yahoo on the netbook edition in 2010 |
|
[10:45] <didrocks> and all those hard words against us |
|
[10:46] <didrocks> I think Mozilla won't have the same treatment "because" |
|
[10:47] <ogra_> well, they are at least clever enough to do everything at once ... their advertisement tiles one month, the default search engine next |
|
[10:48] <ogra_> we always waited til one issue settled to fire up the next :) |
|
[10:48] <didrocks> indeed :) |
|
[10:49] <larsu> didrocks: they're just changing providers, whereas it looked like we wanted to extract more money and are greedy |
|
[10:52] <didrocks> larsu: well, they are doing that as their deal is closing, so they want to extract some money, which is understandable :) |
|
[10:56] <larsu> didrocks: of course, but it doesn't seem like that to the public |
|
[10:56] <larsu> at least that's the impression i get |
|
[10:56] <larsu> or they just like mozilla better :P |
|
[10:58] <ogra_> nah, the public just freaks more out over scientist shirts than over apps ... the fashion moved on ;) |
|
[10:59] <larsu> that freak-out was justified though |
|
[10:59] <ogra_> oh come on ... he wore a present his GF made for him on his big day ... |
|
[11:00] <larsu> you mean its better that he and his girlfriend feel good than all the people he works with? |
|
[11:01] <larsu> how about this: "my girlfriend once gave me a 'the people that make ubuntu are idiots' tshirt and I wore it to UDS - I don't know why the people there were offended" |
|
[11:02] <ogra_> well, seeing how petty the web got over the last ten years i slowly start not feeling bad that i'm a german anymore |
|
[11:02] <ogra_> he never claimed he didnt know why people are offended |
|
[11:02] <ogra_> and he aplologized ... |
|
[11:03] <ogra_> what i find horrible is that thw world got so humorless that he had to |
|
[11:08] <didrocks> it's really true (and sad) that now, everything is a base of controverse |
|
[11:08] <larsu> ogra_: ya, they certainly overreacted - just saying the sentiment was justified |
|
[11:08] <larsu> didrocks: that's not true |
|
[11:08] <didrocks> soon, we'll have everyone suited the same, with the same hair cut, in a very white room |
|
[11:08] <ogra_> overreaction might be *the* word describing this decade :) |
|
[11:09] <didrocks> larsu: I'm not talking about that particular case, but seeing the number of meaningless "buzz" we are seeing… |
|
[11:09] <didrocks> buzz on $random polemics |
|
[11:09] <ogra_> and i'm scared where that might go ... socially ... |
|
[11:09] <didrocks> ogra_: completely agree |
|
[11:10] <didrocks> the president has his tie knot never done right -> first world problem |
|
[11:11] <didrocks> (and this really happened for months in France) |
|
[11:13] <larsu> didrocks: obviously this is a different problem and I totally agree there |
|
[11:13] <larsu> the press was talking about whether the 1st lady is allowed to have a tatoo in Germany for a while |
|
[11:13] <larsu> ridiculous. |
|
[11:14] <ogra_> well, that just the press being the press ... |
|
[11:14] <ogra_> *that's |
|
[11:15] <didrocks> the press wasn't like that before… |
|
[11:15] <didrocks> or not that much |
|
[11:15] <didrocks> and it's because the society asks for this |
|
[11:16] <ogra_> its a two edged thing ... it is to generate more money due to more sensationalism ... the society gets more numb ... you need more sensationalism ... etc etc |

[17:18] <achiang> didrocks: maybe no one cares about switching to yahoo because everyone who does care already switched to chrome ;) |
|
[17:18] <didrocks> achiang: ahah, I'm sure this is not untrue :) |
|
[17:20] <achiang> btw, i understand there is still some bug in unity/compiz 14.04.1 where resuming on multi-monitor setup results in lost window placements... |
|
[17:20] <achiang> is that stuck in the sru queue somewhere? |
|
[17:23] <didrocks> hum, I didn't hear about it, bregma? ^ |
|
[17:23] <didrocks> or Trevinho? ^ |
|
[17:24] <Trevinho> achiang: never heard of that... |
|
[17:24] <Trevinho> achiang: get a crash also? |
|
[17:24] <Laney> I have similar |
|
[17:24] <achiang> no crash, it's just unity/compiz losing its mind |
|
[17:24] <Trevinho> weird... and i *only*suspend... :o |
|
[17:24] <bregma> achiang, I haven't heard of a problem on simple resume |
|
[17:24] <Laney> if I turn one of my monitors off then it gets disabled as far as the system is concerned |
|
[17:24] <achiang> bregma: it's one of my worst papercuts :( |
|
[17:24] <Laney> this messes up the window placement |
|
[17:25] <Laney> i.e. they all get put on one monitor |
|
[17:25] <bregma> oh, unless it's the timing-related problem where a monitor does not come back online right away and Compiz thinks it's been removed |
|
[17:25] <Trevinho> ah, well... that's because one monitor gets turned off, and thus it's what we have to do.. |
|
[17:25] <Trevinho> it might be the case where you unplugged it |
|
[17:25] <bregma> Trevinho, it shouldn't move the windows to a different workspace |
|
[17:26] <achiang> in my case, chrome on laptop display (maximized) before suspend, will resume maximized on external monitor |
|
[17:26] <Trevinho> mh ChrisTownsend did some work on that |
|
[17:26] <bregma> which is what it does for me when I lose my monitor (damn that loose connection) |
|
[17:26] <achiang> i also have workspaces turned on |
|
[17:26] <achiang> and this is over vga, not anything fancy like displayport or hdmi |
|
[17:27] <bregma> either way, there's no queued fix for that at the moemnt |
|
[17:27] <achiang> how can i collect debug information? |
|
[17:27] <achiang> to file a bug? |
|
[17:29] <bregma> "ubuntu-bug compiz" should do the trick |
|
[17:29] <achiang> ok |
|
[17:30] <achiang> also, is there a way to restart a unity session from the command line? |
|
[17:30] <achiang> i have another hard to reproduce on demand (but happens about 2x a week) where resume from suspend results in compiz and parts of unity (like unity-panel-service) going crazy |
|
[17:31] <achiang> and no new windows can be opened |
|
[17:31] <achiang> the only way i can recover is to reboot the entire machine |
|
[17:31] <achiang> would be nice to just restart unity if possible |
|
[17:35] <bregma> achiang, 'setsid unity >/dev/null 2>&1 &' should work |
|
[17:36] <achiang> bregma: awesome, thanks |
|
[17:36] <achiang> bregma: i can do that from VT1, and it'll restart on VT7? |
|
[17:36] <bregma> you'd want to set DISPLAY=:0.0 |
|
[17:38] <bregma> ideally you could just type 'restart unity7' from the command-line, but doing it from a VT means needing to set your DBUS_SESSION and UPSTART_SESSION_ID and that can get complicated |
|
[17:38] <Trevinho> achiang: doing that from VT1 you'd also need dbus... |
|
[17:39] <achiang> hm |
|
[17:39] <Trevinho> ouch bregma preceded me :P |
|
[17:39] <achiang> i mean, my goal in this scenario is to preserve my session, like all my open editor windows, etc. |
|
[17:39] <Trevinho> achiang: but, if you've a terminal open in your session, once yuou load it you can restart from there |
|
[17:39] <bregma> I guess I should write a quick script just for this purpose, except it would be tricky on a multi-seat system |
|
[17:40] <achiang> Trevinho: ah, so if i have a terminal open in the session, i can just type that "setsid" command without worrying about anything else? |
|
[17:41] <Trevinho> achiang: if you have a terminal, and you get a compiz crash... then you can go to vt1, launch "unity", and then go to vt7.... There launch "unity" again from the terminal |
|
[17:41] <Trevinho> in this way it will load all the proper dbus and upstart env vars |
|
[17:41] <Trevinho> (and many others :)) |
|
[17:42] <bregma> eval "$(tr '\000' '\012' </proc/$(pidof compiz)/environ | grep DBUS_SESSION) $(tr '\000' '\012' </proc/$(pidof compiz)/environ | grep UPSTART_SESSION) restart unity7" |
|
[17:42] <bregma> that should work |
|
[17:42] * bregma wishes he could get more obscure in public |
|
[17:42] <achiang> Trevinho: what if unity is still mostly running, but can't do interesting things like open new windows? |
|
[17:42] <achiang> bregma: ok, run that from an open terminal in existing unity session, or run from VT1? |
|
[17:43] <Trevinho> achiang: mh, that's a weird case |
|
[17:43] <bregma> achiang, either one should work |
|
[17:43] <achiang> Trevinho: well, i hit it about 1.5x per week |
|
[17:43] <achiang> bregma: thx |
|
[17:45] <achiang> seems exacerbated by running spotify desktop client + hipchat desktop client |
