[regression] jason fails to sleep at proper hours, despite solar status

[Jason Smith]

Steps to reproduce

1) Open IRC at New York high noon
2) Observe logged in users

Expected results:
A distinct lack of Sams.

Actual results:
Sams everywhere!

Update 2/2/2012:

It seems like this bug is now happening with Jason. Reassigning.

[Robert Carr (robertcarr)]

I can reproduce this using irssi and unity trunk.

[Gord Allott (gordallott)]

fully upgraded system, still happens here.

its been this way for like two cycles now, i'm moving to arch unless this is fixed

[Paul Sladen (sladen)]

Maybe the indicator-weather icon is broken, and so it's not possible to tell when it's sunny?

[Vadim Rutkovsky (roignac)]

We're going to add a simple hack - if smspillaz is logged in then show 'Zzz' icon

Could somebody prepare a mockup for new icon?

[Marco Biscaro (marcobiscaro2112)]

AFAIK, this is a regression (it was not happening some weeks ago).

[Ngassam Nkwenga (cyrildz)]

In fact this bug is very critical: since the bug appeared Unity keeps logging me out : saying the proper hours for sleeping are not set.

[enubuntu (mr.tennents)]

Please move this bug from #861710 to #2 (or #1!!) it's very important!

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Perhaps a duplicate of bug 805087?

[Sam Spilsbury (smspillaz)]

LOL

[Sam Spilsbury (smspillaz)]

I think this is a bug in compiz. There's so much bling that it simulates solar patterns and thus the body is never able to adjust its internal clock.

[Sam Spilsbury (smspillaz)]

In order to fix this we'll need to turn paint-fire on by default

[manny (estelar57)]

>In order to fix this we'll need to turn paint-fire on by default

finally !

[Jono Bacon (jonobacon)]

I have a sneaking suspicion this bug is going to keep getting bumped to the next milestone. ;-)

[Ngassam Nkwenga (cyrildz)]

So I think didirocks would not be capable to build Unity with this bug.

Update : Compiz with Paint-fire turn ON burns my GPU . Oneiric will not be released on time
may be the whole Distro is affected by this bug

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

I've seen this behaviour in micahg also, so it may be worth checking if they share a common wakeup event handler or something...

[Steve Beattie (sbeattie)]

One of the worst affected by this bug is jjohansen; I suspect copy-and-waste code may be to blame.

[Andrea Cimitan (cimi)]

also happens using unity-2d with metacity

[Manish Sinha (मनीष सिन्हा) (manishsinha)]

It can be reproduced using Compiz on Oneiric

[John Lea (johnlea)]

Marked 'won't fix' for ayatana-design, if Sam started sleeping there would definitely be a negative UX impact.

[Ngassam Nkwenga (cyrildz)]

So the Design team won't help us to design a proper work flow for Sams ? That just means Unity would stop running as it depends on Compiz.

[Andrea Cimitan (cimi)]

Seriously, can we SRU this?

[Alin Andrei (nilarimogard)]

I'm attaching a patch - it's just a work-around but it should help. This should default in Ubuntu 11.10.

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

If this bug doesn't get fixed in time, I'll move to arch for good!

[Bilal Akhtar (bilalakhtar)]

Why is this marked "Fix Committed" in Compiz? I managed to reproduce this bug using irssi running on top of the latest linux kernel, latest Xorg from xorg-edges AND the latest compiz & unity from trunk! Sam was still online, so its definitely not fixed yet!

[Roland (Rolandixor) Taylor (rolandixor)]

I cannot confirm this bug until I have added Sam on G+, so this should remain as critical.

[Roland (Rolandixor) Taylor (rolandixor)]

That's it! I'm switching to AtheOS!

[Roland (Rolandixor) Taylor (rolandixor)]

I suggest we blacklist the sun in Sam's part of the world, it seems we can't get this bug "fixed".

[Andrea Cimitan (cimi)]

This morning I woke up and I found a new mail in my canonical work mailbox from Sam, linking me a unity branch to test. We can't mark this as Won't Fix

[jhfhlkjlj (fdsuufijjejejejej-deactivatedaccount)]

Has this bug been fixed with the release of 11.10?

[quequotion (quequotion)]

If I give up using compiz with nvida, would it fix this bug?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

It's possible this bug may be automatically resolved by the time 12.04 is released. The solar status should reach a threshold that causes a steady feedback loop to avoid the symptoms described in the bug description...

Too bad I'm not going to be in perth very soon ;-)

[Gianfranco Costamagna (costamagnagianfranco)]

I personally think this bug is related only to "sam's mom" package, maybe forwarding it upstream? :)

[Charles Kerr (charlesk)]

This isn't a bug; it's an undocumented feature.

[Sam Spilsbury (smspillaz)]

It seems like this bug is now happening with jason

[Sam Spilsbury (smspillaz)]

This is a regression since I definitely recall that jason used to sleep at proper hours. And so did robert too!

[Roland (Rolandixor) Taylor (rolandixor)]

I was thinking, we could use a dirty hack, but it might not work.

We could try sleeping pills.

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

clearing the critical/high list. hope no one minds :D
