[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 632594] Re: xvfb 1.9 and/or metacity not working on the buildds

2010-10-28 Thread Andrew Cowie
If it's a case of a DBus dependency (and if not, we're swerving off
topic here) then the question is how to run a private DBus instance
for the build in question.

I ran into this ~2 years ago in that I had to run a a gnome-settings-
daemon privately under the Xvfb for metacity's themes to work, but that
*broke* when it all moved to DBus because gnome-settings-daemon would
quit with an error saying there already was already such a daemon one on
the bus ... ie, the real Desktop's one!

So how to start a new DBus channel that offers test / build isolation
but which everything running under that (X server?) would find (rather
than the user's real one, I don't know.

2010-10-28 Thread Matthias Klose
the failure mentioned in comment #7 is a followup error (trying to run
xvfb without xserver args (-s ...)). the primary failure is still to get
metacity starting / working the chroot.

2010-10-27 Thread Bryce Harrington
** Description changed:

  see the openjdk build logs, e.g.
  
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/6b20-1.9-0ubuntu1
  
  is this a metacity configuration error, or an xvfb error?
  
  the last working build was on Jul 30:
  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/openjdk-6/6b20~pre2-0ubuntu2
  
  mkdir -p bin
  ( \
  echo '#!/bin/sh'; \
  echo 'metacity  '; \
  echo 'pid=$!'; \
  echo 'sleep 3'; \
  echo '$@'; \
  echo 'kill -9 $pid'; \
)  bin/my-jtreg-run
  chmod 755 bin/my-jtreg-run
  echo 'xvfb-run -a -e xvfb-run.log -s -extension GLX my-jtreg-run $@'  
bin/my-xvfb-run
  if ! /bin/sh bin/my-xvfb-run true ; then \

In the error handling branch, the following call is erroneous:

   echo 'xvfb-run -a -e xvfb-run.log -s $@'  bin/my-xvfb-run; \

^ this command is missing a command to run.  See xvfb-run --help

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 632594] Re: xvfb 1.9 and/or metacity not working on the buildds

2010-10-27 Thread Bryce Harrington
The build log in comment #6 doesn't really give enough detail to be sure
what the error is, other than just that metacity couldn't be started up:

JAVAHarness
EXECXvfb
EXECmetacity
KILLXvfb
KILLmetacity
Exception in thread main java.lang.RuntimeException: 
metacity didn't start
at Harness.checkAlive(Harness.java:322)
at Harness.main(Harness.java:139)
make[1]: *** [doc] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build/buildd/java-gnome-4.0.16'
make: *** [debian/stamp-makefile-build] Error 2
dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

So, would be interesting to see a more detailed log, but seems quite
possible it could be the same bug.

2010-10-27 Thread Bryce Harrington
As to the question of how it entered the error path, I can't reproduce
the issue on maverick (pasting in the code and running it on a laptop
seems to work fine for me).  However, from the error messages in the
description:

Window manager warning: Failed to contact configuration server; the most
common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See
http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/  for information. (Details - 1: Failed
to get connection to session: Cannot spawn a message bus without a
machine-id: Unable to load /var/lib/dbus/machine-id: Failed to open file
'/var/lib/dbus/machine-id': No such file or directory)

...this seems to be suggesting your dbus service is missing.  Is that a
possibility?

2010-10-27 Thread Bryce Harrington
I spoke with kees about this this evening.  X doesn't depend directly on
dbus; it sounds like it is metacity's dbus dependency which is faulting
here.  Metacity exits with an error, so xvfb propagates that error up.
