[Bug 332716] Re: workrave doesn't notice input
It's called for the event XRecordStartOfData. Tracing through init_xrecord shows: the server claims to support version 1.13. It seems to pass plausible parameters to create the context and it then opens a separate datalink, which also seems correct. Then it enables the context on that datalink, and that immediately runs the callback with reasonable values to say XRecordStartOfData. Then after that the callback's not run again and we XRecordEnableContext doesn't return either. -- workrave doesn't notice input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 332716] Re: workrave doesn't notice input
OK, so it turns out that I did not have the record module loaded in my xorg.conf file. That file claims to have been generated by dexconf, but it may be wrong, or it may at least be an unusual setup. I'm going to add it and see if that helps. If it does, I'd say this is still a workrave bug though maybe a minor one: it tries to detect whether or not the server supports XRecord, but apparently not successfully. Or arguably it's a xorg bug if it claims to support XRecord even when the module's not loaded. This is a bit similar to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=350296. -- workrave doesn't notice input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 332716] Re: workrave doesn't notice input
Not quite so simple; X.0.log shows that record is loaded by default even if it's not specified there. That explains why the server reports that it supports the extension. -- workrave doesn't notice input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 332716] Re: workrave doesn't notice input
Bryce suggested running xtrace, and a trace is attached. My interpretation of it is this: xtrace can't totally decode the RECORD extension messages but it can see them happening. Workrave opens a separate server connection for the callbacks, which seems to be how XRecord is documented to work, and in this trace that's (I think) the lines starting with 003: Around line 998 after initializing connection 003, it sends a RECORD- Request(137, 5) gets a reply, and nothing more on that channel. So that would be consistent with what I saw in gdb in comment 5 above, and seems to show it's not just something in the client or libraries causing the events to be ignored. recordstr.h has 52 #define X_RecordEnableContext 5 /* Enable interception and reporting */ ** Description changed: Binary package hint: workrave + + Workrave is a program to encourage you to take typing breaks.

[Bug 332716] Re: workrave doesn't notice input
Comparing Xorg.0.logs from a working session (e.g. intrepid) with one from the current broken case might show something of use. xtrace output to see what's getting communicated between server and client could be of use too. This could help show whether the xserver is delivering keyboard hit data or not. If it's delivering output to the client, then we know for certain the bug's in the client; otherwise, the bug is at a lower level (xserver, kernel, whatever.) Since Hardy there's been a huge amount of change in the input subsystem of X. A lot of code and functionality has moved out of keyboard drivers and X, into the kernel via the 'evdev' module, and HAL is used to manage, coordinate, and configure it. This has been a pretty massive change, and a LOT of the recent keyboard/mouse regressions we've seen in the last two releases have been due to some aspect of this change. While this bug doesn't fit the normal symptoms of hal/evdev bugs, it is worth a mention. You could try forcing X to use the old non-hal/non- evdev keyboard/mouse handling and see if the issue goes away; if it does, that proves it's a bug in this new subsystem. -- workrave doesn't notice input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 332716] Re: workrave doesn't notice input
If you'd like to pursue this as an Xserver issue (which the evidence collected so far seems to point to), then please add an 'xorg-server' task and attach some additional debug info we need for X by running `apport-collect 332716`. I can push it upstream from there, and we can see if they have some useful suggestions. I'd also encourage you to report this bug to the workrave upstream, in case they have insights. If it does turn out to be an Xserver problem, they may still appreciate knowing about the issue. -- workrave doesn't notice input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332716 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I rebuilt this with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='debug nostrip' and amongst other things it emits the following: X11InputMonitor::run X11InputMonitor::run_xrecord X11InputMonitor::init_xrecord X11InputMonitor::init_xrecord use_xrecord= 1 X11InputMonitor::init_xrecord X11InputMonitor::terminate X11InputMonitor::stop_xrecord X11InputMonitor::run_xrecord X11InputMonitor::run X11InputMonitor::stop_xrecord X11InputMonitor::terminate X11InputMonitor::~X11InputMonitor X11InputMonitor::~X11InputMonitor It does seem to be trying to use XRecord but not getting anywhere.
