[Bug 1376154] Re: data grid not displaying resultset is blank

2015-03-21 Thread Michael Petch
I originally did testing with Ubuntu 14.04 and this wasn't an issue as
the version of Glib in Ubunty 14.04 predated the change that created
this situation. Your output shows that you are using the latest official
Ubuntu 14.04 mysql-workbench. This has me curious if somehow your
version of Glib has been upgraded through a non-official source? Could
you provide me the output from this command:

dpkg-query -l libglib2.0-0 | grep glib

Yep that is exactly what is going on 2.42.2-0ubuntu1~14.04~ricotz0 is a
much newer version of Glib that causes this problem with mysql-workbench
(the problem was introduced as of 2.42). You are going to need to
acquire a newer version of mysql-workbench to get around the problem or
somehow downgrade Glib.

Peter and Angus you will need to open a new bug and tag it as
regression-update. Brian Murray said this in his last post In the event
that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please
report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-
update so we can easily find any regressions.

With that being said have you confirmed the latest mysql-workbench is
installed? What does the output from this command (open a terminal
window) say:

dpkg-query -l mysql-workbench-data mysql-workbench | grep mysql

As an addendum, it manifests itself differently in Trusty. The
application is usable, although it could in theory be unstable with
multiple threads under the right conditions. It doesn't crash outright.

In Utopic the problem is fatal as it will crash right as you start
playing which in effect renders the product unusable on that platform.

If I manually apply the patch to the original source and do a build it
works. I noticed when I did the Ubuntu build from source that the patch
didn't seem to get properly applied and the code it built was
essentially the unmodified code (not patched). The only thing I see
wrong was the patch had some fuzz in one of the hunks. Not sure if that
is related to the issue or not. If I get a chance tomorrow I'll
regenerate a new patch.

[Bug 1393105] Re: GNUbg crashes shortly after starting game

2015-02-11 Thread Michael Petch
I spent some time today playing with 1.02.000-2ubuntu1 AMD64 playing
against the computer and doing rollouts and analysis. The  latter two
are processor and thread intensive. I didn't observe any problems that
would be related to this fix.

I happened to copy the gnubg and gnubg-data files to my utopic system.
When I ran it and started a new match it crashed and I saw this:

GNU Backgammon 1.02.000  Feb 11 2015

Aborted (core dumped)

The date is clearly correct (Feb 11 2015) but it failed. I then
downloaded the source tar ball, the debian.tar.xz and the dsc file. I
then built the packaged from source with:

dpkg-source -x gnubg_1.02.000-2ubuntu1.dsc

and then

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

Running this release failed as well. I'm going to have to revisit the
patch and see if something was missed (in the patch) or if there is some
other environment related problem (library change/update etc). At the
time (a few months ago) it did work as expected and I had thoroughly
tested it.

[Bug 1393105] Re: GNUbg crashes shortly after starting game

2014-11-16 Thread Michael Petch
** Description changed:

  [Preamble]
  I am one of the primary upstream maintainers of the GNUbg project.
  
  [Impact]
  When a user starts a new match GNUbg will crash with this error (on the 
console):
  
  Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked
  Aborted (core dumped)
  
  This issue is a regression that appeared in Ubuntu 14.10 . It wasn't an
  issue in Ubuntu 14.04. This bug should be a high priority for this
  application because this bug renders the software completely unusable.
  
  [Test Case]
- To reproduce launch GNUbg and click the New icon to start a new match. 
Click Ok on the match parameters screen (no need to modify the settings). The 
match should start. You may need to hit Control-R to roll to roll the dice 
(alternatively click the middle of the board on the right side). Shortly after 
doing so the application will close down.

match should start. You may need to hit Control-R to roll the dice 
(alternatively click the middle of the board on the right side). Shortly after 
doing so the application will close down.
  
  [Regression Potential]
  The patch/bug fix attached to this report should be reasonably low risk and 
should not impact other software on the users system. Most regressions that may 
result from any new problems that could be introduced are that the analysis 
output may be slightly different.
  
  Upstream official software releases (1.03.000 and 1.04.000) have been
  using the fixes in this patch for a few months without any reported
  issues and as a result are considered well tested by the upstream
  maintainers.
  
  [Bug cause]
- New versions of Glib have extra assertions that may reveal hidden bugs. This 
happened with GNUbg. The problem highlighted issues in how we were using 
mutexes (creations/usage/cleanup). Older versions of Glib didn't have these 
newer assertions so the problem had gone undetected in previous releases.
+ New versions of Glib (= 2.41.2) have extra assertions that may reveal hidden

(creations/usage/cleanup). Older versions of Glib didn't have these newer 
assertions so the problem had gone undetected in previous releases although the 
bug is present but may invoke undefined behaviour.
  
  [Bug history]
- The set of changes in this patch were applied to the upstream version of 
GNUbg in July 2014 based upon a bug report of a user that was using a PPA 
version of Glib in Ubuntu 14.04. That bug and further information about the 
nature of this issue can be found here:

[Bug 1393105] Re: GNUbg crashes shortly after starting game

2014-11-16 Thread Michael Petch
Yes Adam,  I concur that this issue is on both Trusty and Utopic thanks
for amending the bug. I happened to update my original post earlier
while you were commenting and suggested that on other versions with
older  Glib the issue is present but still invoking undefined behavior.
So Trusty in my opinion is potentially unstable albeit with no known
crash.

This issue with the mutexes hasn't existed for the entire lifetime of
our project. This issue was introduced in May 2013 in preparation for
our official v1.00.000 release. In particular this set of changes:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gnubg/multithread.c?root=gnubgr1=1.74r2=1.75sortby=date

The change was to accommodate some structural changes and avoid
deprecated functionality in Glib = 2.32.0. Unfortunately this issue
slipped through the cracks. As a result, any official Ubuntu releases
that used a version of GNUbg  1.0 will not experience this problem
(Which is any Ubuntu release before Trusty). That leaves only the GNUbg
releases used in Trusty and Utopic as candidates for this change.

I don't have commit privileges so need sponsorship on this bug. My
understanding of the process is a bit lacking so you will have to bear
with me.

[Bug 1376154] Re: data grid not displaying resultset is blank

2014-11-16 Thread Michael Petch
This bug manifests itself in a number of different ways. All seem to be
related to no data being populated in what should be the ListModel
panes. Another way to observe this issue is to run mysql-workbench and
open the sakila_full model. Once open double click on one of the tables
in the diagram. At the bottom in the middle is a pane that should have a
column tab. Click on that tab and should see that it is blank.
Normally that pane would have a list of all the fields and their
attributes and allow you to add/modify/delete any of the columns.

This bug is a regression caused by changes in GLIB = 2.42.2. It is
rather severe in that it affects many aspects of the workbench from
querying databases to editing the EER disagrams.

This bug has been identified previously in Debian here:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=763356

The issue is a glib regression with glib = 2.42.0 . Oracle provided a
patch (referenced in this bug report) here:

http://bugs.mysql.com/file.php?id=21874bug_id=74147

The upstream bug associated with that patch can be found here:

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=74147

This bug has been fixed in Vivd Vervet (15.04) as can be found here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-workbench/6.2.3+dfsg-6

I am attaching a debdiff patch that seems to work well to resolve this
issue on Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (14.10) and is the same patch
(libglib2.42.patch) applied to mysql-workbench (6.2.3+dfsg-6) in Vivid
Vervet (15.04)

I am the primary upstream maintainer for GNUbg. Attached is a patch to
fix this bug. This patch is a small subset of the changes  that went
into GNUbg 1.03.000. to deal with this bug and two other fatal problems
These changes were related to issues with improper mutex
creation/usage/cleanup as well as a couple instability fixes and were
brought about because of changes in newer versions of glib.

These fixes are also available if one were to upgrade Ubuntu to use
GNUbg 1.03.000 or 1.04.000.

2014-07-25 Thread Michael Petch
Thanks for the files and trying out that test. That rules it out being
3D related and something bad in gnubgautorc that migrated from an old
version.

When specifically does it crash? At startup? or do you get the board
displayed and are able to play and then it crashes later on?

One thing I can think of trying is running gnubg with the -q option:

gnubg -q

You mentioned you have built from sources. I don't know your tech
knowledge but I am wondering if you know or have tried building a debug
version (with CFLAGS=-g option) and run gnubg with gdb. A backtrace
from GNUbg when it crashes might tell us something.

[Bug 1346567] Re: gnubg crashes soon after starting. Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked

2014-07-25 Thread Michael Petch
Thanks for the backtraces. It became clear when I observed the output
that you were using glib from a PPA that was an unofficial repository.
Upon looking at your attached dependency list I believe the reason this
crashes on your system and not a stock 14.04 is related to this:

libglib2.0-0 2.41.2~git20140714.79e63d4e-0ubuntu1~14.04~ricotz0 [origin: 
LP-PPA-ricotz-testing]
libglib2.0-data 2.41.2~git20140714.79e63d4e-0ubuntu1~14.04~ricotz0 [origin: 
LP-PPA-ricotz-testing]

You seem to be using Rico Tzschichholz gnome-testing which can make a
system unstable. In particular I have identified the glib entries above
since I believe they are the heart of the problem. It appears that there
is likely a bug being detected in GNUbg because of new checks that were
added to recent versions of glib. This is most likely a GNUbg bug, I
would have to investigate further when I get a chance to try the new
glib out on a system.

I believe the recent changes to GLib that likely influence this bug is this set 
of patches (see the part about detecting some mutex bugs):
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=731986

I believe if you were to downgrade glib back to the official Ubuntu
version that GNUbg would run albeit it with a bug that is likely going
unnoticed. If you could verify that the official glib works then we have
an explanation as to why your system is being affected and not others.

[Bug 1346567] Re: gnubg crashes soon after starting. Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked

2014-07-25 Thread Michael Petch
If you have an opportunity there are some things you might want to try
with the new glib.  I don't see an obvious bug in the code besides the
possibility of an optimization being done because a memory location is
volatile but isn't marked as such. The first thing to try is building
from source and doing so without optimizations CFLAGS=-O0 . Does the
problem exist?

I'd then like to know the output with it configured with
CFLAGS=-DDEBUG_MULTITHREADED . This will display additional text to
the console that might help me out.

Although you have marked the bug as invalid, I have an interest in these
last couple tests so I can check our code. It is possible in the future
that Ubuntu will use a newer glib and we'll be revisiting this issue
again. That is of course if there isn't a bug on the glib side.

I have moved this to confirmed. I am working on a fix. It appears that
there has been a real but hidden bug in our code since 2.32 related to
locking/unlocking/freeing mutexes. It appears this bug didn't exist on
WIN32 and any platform with glib2.32. Although it is hidden it could be
causing unexpected problems.

[Bug 1346567] Re: gnubg crashes soon after starting. Attempt to unlock mutex that was not locked

2014-07-23 Thread Michael Petch
Howdy,

I'm one of the upstream maintainers and it appears someone else reported
a similar problem with a recent update. I installed Ubuntu 14.04 from
scratch and installed the product and it ran okay.

With that being said a clean environment may be hiding the problem.  I'd
like you to attach a copy of your gnubgautorc file to this bug or email
a copy directly to mpe...@gnubg.org  . This file is found in in your
user directory in a folder called .gnubg . So that would be the file:

~/.gnubg/gnubgautorc

(Tilde is your home directory)

After sending me a copy of the file please do the following. Close all
copies of GNUbg. Go to your home directory and rename the .gnubg
directory to .gnubgold (rename it do not delete it). Run GNU Backgammon
again. It should detect that the ~/.gnubg directory doesn't exist and
rebuild a new one with default settings. I am curious if this bug still
exists if you do this?

Since I can't reproduce this, one theory is that it is a specific
setting from an older version of GNUbg is causing the problem. Resetting
to defaults will tell me if that is the case. Sending your existing
gnubgautorc file allows me to test with the exact settings being used.

Thanks

[Bug 932455] Re: GNUBG (backgammon) - Desktop stops responding to mouse clicks

2012-07-01 Thread Michael Petch
Hi VF,

The reason building from source doesn't fix this issue (at present) is
because the issue is in Debian Ubuntu systems only, and the workaround
is a Debian Ubuntu specific fix.  First of all, I'm going to recommend
downloading an installing the version you couldn't find
(0.90+20120127-3). Installing these packages should create the necessary
gnubg.desktop file so that when launched from a gnome3/unity menu it
should work properly. You must download gnubg and gnubg-data from these
locations:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/103709007/gnubg_0.90%2B20120127-3_amd64.deb
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/103697408/gnubg-data_0.90%2B20120127-3_all.deb

After downloading you can install them from the command line using:

sudo dpkg -i gnubg-data_0.90+20120127-3_all.deb
gnubg_0.90+20120127-3_amd64.deb

Once these are installed you should be able to launch GNUBG through the
GUI using the menus/icons, and there should now be a
/usr/share/applications/gnubg.desktop that contains Exec=env
LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 gnubg -w .

If you are rolling your own build from source you must alter how you
launch GNUBG. For example if you rolled your own build from source, you
could launch from the source directory using:

LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 ./gnubg

or if you installed GNUBG from source (and did a 'make install' to the
default /usr/local) directory you can launch GNUBG like this:

LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 /usr/local/bin/gnubg

Let me know how you make out.

If you are using a 32bit system then you'll want to install:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/103697407/gnubg_0.90%2B20120127-3_i386.deb

instead of the amd64 version I posted before. The gnubg-data files are
the same for both 32/64bit.

[Bug 932455] Re: GNUBG (backgammon) - Desktop stops responding to mouse clicks

2012-07-01 Thread Michael Petch
I have committed a change to the latest GNUBG source code. The change
will appear in future source code snapshots after July 1st, 2012 . It is
available as of this message in CVS. For those building GNUBG from
source, and wish to have GNUBG run properly on Ubuntu you must do the
following:

Normally you run  ./autogen.sh, followed by ./configure, followed by
make, and possibly sudo make install  .

For those familiar with this process, you must alter your configure
command slightly to include code to work around this bug and force
overlay scrollbars off. the configure process should be amended to be
something like:

./configure CFLAGS=-DNO_OVERLAYSCROLLBARS

With this change,  you should be able to run GNUBG without setting any
environment variables ahead of time. The downside is that GNUBG will
always run with standard scrollbars (not overlayed ones). This fix is
temporary until a proper solution can be put in place (And there is a
solution).

[Bug 1002063] Re: gnubg freezes desktop after analysing match

2012-06-26 Thread Michael Petch
Using a stock 12.04 AMD64 debian system I installed gnubg_0.9
+20120127-3 . Without the modification to the gnubg.desktop file it
fails as you describe. If I use a version with LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 it
functions properly.

This could be an environmental issue of some sort. First off where is
the gnubg.desktop file you are modifying? Is it the one in your user
directory or one in /usr/share/applications ?

When it runs (or you think it runs) with LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 how do
the scrollbars appear? Do they appear as standard scroll bars or do they
pop out at the edge as you pass over them? I'm asking this question
since how they will appear tells me whether LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 was
actually working.

What desktop environment do you use? Gnome3? Unity? KDE? etc?

2012-06-26 Thread Michael Petch
I should point out that based on the screenshot, overlay scrollbars are
still turned on, which means that GNUBG is not being launched with them
off. This was why I have requested the  procedure above. If that still
doesn't work there is the possibility that there is a gnubg.desktop file
in your user folder under ~/.local/share/applications  . Anything in
there will override what is in /usr/share/applications from what I
remember. If there is a file there for GNUBG, remove it or make sure
that it is a copy of the one in /usr/share/applications.

On my system here under 12.04 w/unity it does work.

On a technical note regarding this bug:

I have a long term solution for this bug that I will commit to CVS, but
it can't be made mainstream until one high priority bug is resolved in
the fix itself. GNUBG still uses a deprecated GTKList object, and I have
found the scrollbar issues are resolved when we stop using the
deprecated GTKList and replace it with GTKTreeView .

[Bug 932455] Re: GNUBG (backgammon) - Desktop stops responding to mouse clicks

2012-02-15 Thread Michael Petch
After spending an evening in the debugger I accidentally stumbled upon a
temporary solution to get GNUBG functional under Ubuntu 11.10 .

The issue involves a feature of Ubuntu's desktop that I despise - those
overlay scrollbars (scrollbars that popout past the edge of a window to
save real estate inside a widget). For some reason the overlay
scrollbars under Ubuntu 11.10 do not work with GNUBG for some *yet*
unknown reason.

If you want to turn overlay scrollbars off for just GNUBG so that
launching from the menu works then do this from a command terminal:

sudo nano /usr/share/applications/gnubg.desktop

Modify the line that starts with Exec= and replace it with this new one:

Exec=env LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 gnubg -w

This should allow GNUBG tro run properly, and you will notice it will
use standard scrollbars

[Bug 932455] [NEW] GNUBG (backgammon) - Desktop stops responding to mouse clicks

2012-02-14 Thread Michael Petch
Public bug reported:

Description:Ubuntu 11.10
Release:11.10

  Installed: 0.90+20091206-4.1
  Candidate: 0.90+20091206-4.1
  Version table:
 *** 0.90+20091206-4.1 0
500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/universe i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

This problem also exists on 64bit Ubuntu. This problem doesn't exist on
Ubuntu 11.04. If you build from the latest GNUBG source (CVS) the bug
still exists. This bug is not found in the product when built/installed
on Debian Wheezy or current Sid environments.

The bug is high priority since it renders the product and your desktop
unusable until the program is killed. To produce the problem start a new
match against the computer via File menu/New.../Click GNU Backgammon vs
Human/Click OK. Make a few moves against the computer. On the right hand
side in the move list under the gnubg column click one of the moves
the computer made. At this point the analysis pane will appear below the
move list and the mouse fails to respond to mouse clicks on the desktop
rendering Ubuntu useless. Killing the application manually does work.

Although the mouse doesn't work as expected  the keyboard still
functions, both on the desktop and in GNUBG.

This bug has been reported by a number of users and more info can be
found here:

+ The bug doesn't seem to be related to the X-Server. If I run GNUBG
+ remotely from Ubuntu onto another Xwindow system via SSH, I get similar
+ behavior. In this case only GNUBG stops responding to the mouse clicks.
