still occurring after updating to gnome-settings-daemon-3.3.91-1.fc17

Also, forgot to mention that if I have the wacom tablet plugged in when I boot, it prevents Gnome shell from starting. I get a black GDM background, and when I log in, I get the fail screen.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2012-03-19 17:49:55 UTC
Proposing as a potential final blocker if this affects any system with a Wacom tablet attached (to be established). GNOME guys, can you please look at this? It seems a significant bug.

Comment 8 Daniel Belton 2012-03-20 03:18:27 UTC
I will be willing to provide whatever is needed for them to track down this bug. Just let me know what. 

I'm tired of having to unplug my tablet to start Gnome. :( None of the other desktop environments are affected, and I have switched to using KDM instead of GDM due to this issue. (Easy to switch back if you need me to run it when providing more information, though. and above information was running GDM)

Comment 9 Olivier Fourdan 2012-03-20 09:53:04 UTC
Created attachment 571333 [details]
Proposed patch

The crash is caused by a call to g_error() that triggers an abort. Error is triggered because the plugin fails to retrieve the settings for the stylus, because the stylus is not set (stylus = 0x0, stylus_settings = 0x0 frame #3 of thread #1 in the backtrace).

The stylus is obtained via the "last-stylus" property of the device, if the property is not set the valus is 0x0 and the associated settings can't be retrieved either.

The "last-stylus" property is not retrieved because it's not been previously set, as shows the error "Failed to get value for changed stylus ID" earleir in the logs (that warning will cause fhe function to return before settings the property in filter_events() from gsd-wacom-device.c).

So I think the best way to avoid such a crash is to actually check for the property in apply_stylus_settings() so that if the property has not been set we do not end up trying to retreive the settings of an undefined stylus which will rigthfully lead to an error.

Proposed patch attached.

Note: This patch is for gnome-settings-daemon where the affected source file belongs, but this very same file is duplicated in gnome-control-center when "make update-from-gsd" is run from within gnome-control-center/panels/wacom/ - So this needs to be fixed in both gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center packages.

Comment 10 Adam Williamson 2012-03-20 18:24:55 UTC
olivier: so the circumstance needed to trigger this bug is that you have to have a wacom tablet attached for which the 'last-stylus' property has not been previously set? In user experience terms, what circumstance is that? Any case where a tablet is connected that hasn't successfully been used in GNOME before?

Comment 11 Daniel Belton 2012-03-21 01:45:18 UTC
I have been thinking back and trying to think of anything that might have caused this on my end, and can't think of anything. 

I do remember, the first boot after the install (alpha tc1) worked fine, Gnome started. But after that, I had to unplug the tablet to get Gnome to start. 

I didn't even try to go into the settings for the wacom tablet on that first boot, though. It was mainly just tweaking my network settings and getting my drive mounts set up correctly. (One of the first things I do since my data was backed up on a NFS share.) 

And it was a full, clean install. Not an upgrade. Pulled an old drive off the shelf, wiped it, threw Windows 7 on it, and then Fedora 17.

Comment 12 Olivier Fourdan 2012-03-21 15:47:41 UTC

Indeed, the proposed patch fixes the effect, not the root cause. A new device is detected yet the tool fails to retrieve the tool id of the stylus.

I doubt it has to do with any previous use of the tablet in GNOME, as it's not related to gsettings as far as I can see, yet I am not entirely sure of the events that can lead to this error to occur.

The function that returns the tool id is xdevice_get_last_tool_id() from gnome-setings-daemon/common/gsd-input-helper.c duplicated as gnome-control-panel/panels/wacom/gsd-input-helper.c but that function will return -1 (failure) on many different cases so I cannot tell what step failed by looking just at the logs or the backtrace.

Yet, I wonder, what version of xorg-x11-drv-wacom is in use? I vaguely remember seeing something similar some time ago after the tool ID was added (versions 0.13.0-5, 0.13.0-6) but I cannot reproduce anymore using xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.14.0-2 so the xorg-x11-drv-wacom might be of some influence as well.

Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2012-03-21 17:30:13 UTC
Olivier: I wasn't asking because I query the patch - it's for the purpose of evaluating whether this is a blocker bug or not. It's important to us to try and figure out how many people it will affect.

Comment 14 Daniel Belton 2012-03-21 21:00:16 UTC
the version of xorg-x11-drv-wacom was 0.13.0-4.fc17 that was on the alpha install. 

Currently installed is version 0.14.0-2

And the problem still occurs with xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.14.0-2?

Comment 16 Daniel Belton 2012-03-22 21:13:04 UTC
yes, the problem is still occurring with xorg-x11-drv-wacom-0.14.0-2.

Comment 17 Olivier Fourdan 2012-03-23 07:52:11 UTC
Peter Hutterer found the culprit, it's in the definition of the bamboo pen and touch tablet in libwacom.

Can you retry after changing the "Styli" definition of /usr/share/libwacom/bamboo-pen-and-touch.tablet as follows:

Change:

   Styli=0xfffff

to:

   Styli=0xfffff,0xffffe

And retry.

Comment 18 Daniel Belton 2012-03-23 12:42:55 UTC
I made the change to /usr/share/libwacom/bamboo-pen-and-touch.tablet, but still I get the crash in the gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center 

However, it does appear that progress was made, somewhat. 

I no longer get the GLib-CRITICAL messages in my .xsession-errors file

Here is what I get now:

Compare this to what I was getting, and it does appear that some progress is being made :)

Comment 21 Olivier Fourdan 2012-03-27 07:49:31 UTC
Sorry, I think I gave you an incorrect procedure, can you use a semicolon as a separator instead of a comma in the tablet definition, ie:

Styli=0xfffff;0xffffe

Rationale: I think that should fix your issue, yet we still have g-s-d crashing when the tablet definition is not correct so the proposed patch is not sufficient.

Another fix for g-s-d if the stylus is not found in the libwacom database

I have opened a new bug upstream 672917 with this proposed patch.

Rationale is being that the assert() in gsd_wacom_device_set_current_stylus() can be reached because add_stylus_to_device() which is called from the cnstructor won't create the list if libwacom_stylus_get_for_id() fails and return NULL.

Note, gnome-control-center has a copy of gsd-wacom-device.c and will require a
similar fix as well.

Comment 23 Olivier Fourdan 2012-03-27 14:10:44 UTC
Daniel, in the meantime, does using a semicolon (instead of a comma) in the tablet definition as suggested in comment #21 fix the issue in your case?

Comment 24 Daniel Belton 2012-03-27 14:53:14 UTC
using a semicolon instead of a comma does indeed fix my issue here.

I can now have the tablet plugged in and Gnome shell starts properly, and the settings opens properly as well, without any signs of a crash so far. 

Everything seems to work as it is supposed to, at least so far anyway. 

So, I would say that an update with the changed /usr/share/libwacom/bamboo-pen-and-touch.tablet would be the correct thing to do. 

the corrected line that works:

Styli=0xfffff;0xffffe

Comment 25 Daniel Belton 2012-03-30 22:46:27 UTC
issue still exists in libwacom-0.4-1.fc17, kibwacom-data-0.4-1.fc7, so I am not going to close this one yet. 

The fix is still the same, though.

Discussed at 2012-04-20 blocker review meeting - http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2012-04-20/fedora-bugzappers.2012-04-20-17.01.log.txt . We don't have a clear consensus yet on whether this bug is a blocker (it's a subjective call as it's a question of how common the affected hardware is). We had a solid consensus to accept it as NTH.

Olivier, it seems like we have a fix for this, so why the delay in implementing it? Can we get it into F17 asap? Thanks!

Comment 27 Daniel Belton 2012-04-24 13:37:18 UTC
Adam, the affected hardware would be all of the Bamboo Pen & Touch (CTH-460) Wacom tablets. 

These were very popular among the "low-end" wacom tablets so the affected users could be numerous. 

The way I see this bug, there are really 2 bugs here.

1: The incomplete stylus definition in the /usr/share/libwacom/bamboo-pen-and-touch.tablet file which the fix has already mentioned here. All it needs is to be put into the libwacom-data package and pushed into the repo as an update.

2: the resulting crash in gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center. This crash was the result of the above incomplete stylus definition, but still should not have caused a crash. The patches to gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center should be put in to prevent this from happening again in the future, but as far as the fix for this bug, would not have to be implemented to prevent the crash if the fix for the stylus is in place in libwacom-data. 

(I also get a warning on all of the graphire tablet files in /usr/share/libwacom/ but those aren't causing a crash to occur.)

=== copy from .xsession-errors ===
(gnome-settings-daemon:1128): libwacom-WARNING **: Tablet 'usb:056a:0015' has no buttons defined, do something!

(gnome-settings-daemon:1128): libwacom-WARNING **: Tablet 'usb:056a:0014' has no buttons defined, do something!

(gnome-settings-daemon:1128): libwacom-WARNING **: Tablet 'usb:056a:0013' has no buttons defined, do something!
=== end copy ===

I believe the fix to libwacom-data for the stylus definition in /usr/share/libwacom/bamboo-pen-and-touch.tablet should be fixed and pushed into the repo, and the other patches could wait until they are tested better (if that is the reason for the delay) since the error actually causing the crash would be fixed.

Comment 28 Tim Flink 2012-05-01 21:50:47 UTC
Discussed in the 2012-05-01 blocker bug review meeting. There have been no new reports of this recently and we're leaning towards rejecting as a blocker for F17 final but will wait a little longer before doing so.

If the fix mentioned above does work, it would be nice to see it as an update before code freeze.

Comment 29 Christoph Brill 2012-05-03 08:26:47 UTC
Same bug hit me hard this morning. Happens on a "056a:0015 Wacom Co., Ltd Graphire 4 4x5", too.

Comment 30 Christoph Brill 2012-05-03 08:32:36 UTC
This is the log message I get in advance before gnome-settings-daemon crashes:

wacom-plugin-WARNING **: Could not set the current stylus ID 0x0 for tablet 'Wacom Graphire4 4x5', no general pen found

I think replacing the g_assert with a log message (see Comment 22) might be a good idea. Having gnome-settings-deamon crash is pretty awefull.

Unfortuantely, the fix is not yet accepted upstream, see upstream bug [1]

Yes, there was an update to libwacom and libwacom-data to version 0.5-1 which
causes a lot of problems since it basically throws any wacom tablet without a
stylus defined right into the same place as this bug. (It sets a default stylus
of 0xfffff if there is no stylus defined, which is what is causing this bug. An
incomplete stylus definition)

Could you capture the device description using "evemu-describe" and attach it to this bugzilla so we can try to reproduce although without the hardware?

evemu-describe is part of the utouch-evemu package in Fedora.

Comment 34 Adam Williamson 2012-05-03 17:57:41 UTC
Discussed at 2012-05-03 blocker review meeting. This was a close call, but agreed it's ultimately too much of a corner case to be considered a blocker, especially as it can be 'easily' worked around (unplug the tablet) if you know the cause. It will be documented in common bugs if not fixed by release. It remains an NTH bug.

Comment 35 Fedora Update System 2012-05-04 02:44:04 UTC
libwacom-0.5-2.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-7203/libwacom-0.5-2.fc17

Comment 36 Daniel Belton 2012-05-04 13:01:16 UTC
The libwacom/libwacom-data 0.5-2 update finally fixes the cause of this crash. The /usr/share/libwacom/bamboo-pen-and-touch.tablet has been updated to have a valid stylus definition (as referenced above, it was changed to "Styli=0xfffff;0xffffe"

I am assuming that gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center haven't been patched yet to prevent crashes if this occurs again, but the reason for this bug appears to be fixed.

Adam, should this bug remain open since the gnome-settings-daemon and gnome-control-center haven't been patched yet, and it's had quite a bit of discussion here? 

Or should it be closed (once determined this fix doesn't cause big issues someplace) since the root cause of this bug has been fixed?

Comment 37 Olivier Fourdan 2012-05-04 17:23:58 UTC
Daniel, would it be possible for you to provide the device description for your "Bamboo Pen & Touch" tablet using "evemu-describe" as per comment #33? 

That could help with testing, for those who don't have the device at hand.

Comment 38 Daniel Belton 2012-05-04 20:29:08 UTC
Sure can.
