[Bug 1244578] Re: lightdm-session runs xrdb with -nocpp option

[Seth Arnold]

Preparing to replace lightdm 1.2.3-0ubuntu2.7 (using
.../lightdm_1.2.3-0ubuntu2.8_amd64.deb) ...

Verified that the ..2.7 version failed to handle #defines, the ...2.8
version worked as expected.

[Bug 1244578] Re: lightdm-session runs xrdb with -nocpp option

[Brian Murray]

Hello iGEL, or anyone else affected,

Accepted lightdm into vivid-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/1.14.2-0ubuntu1.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

[Bug 1244578] Re: lightdm-session runs xrdb with -nocpp option

[Jorge Niedbalski]

This is fixed on Wily, I am attaching the Vivid, Utopic and Trusty
patches.

** Description changed:

+ [Impact]
+ 
  lightdm-session runs xrdb for .Xresources file with the -nocpp option
  (Line 37 and 43), which prevents the xrdb from preprocessing the
  .Xresources file. Many configurations like the popular solarized color
  theme (https://github.com/solarized/xresources/blob/master/solarized)
  use this and you find some complaints about in on the internet
  
  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=164108
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1163129
  
http://superuser.com/questions/655857/urxvt-uses-pink-instead-of-solarized-until-i-run-xrdb-xresources/656213
  
  I don't see a reason for not using the preprocessor and so did the
  editor of Xsession (the option is not used in
  /etc/X11/Xsession.d/30x11-common_xresources)
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+  - Install solarized theme
+ https://github.com/solarized/xresources/blob/master/solarized
+ 
+ - Load default Xresources file (xrdb  .XDefaults )
+ 
+ - Now every macro supported by CPP will not work.
+ 
+ 
+ [Regression Potential] 
+ 
+ * No regression potential advised, small (0.001%) load average increase
+ on startup time because of enabling Cpp.
+ 
+ [Solution]
+ 
+ Backport default wily session to older releases.

[Roelof Kallenkoot]

I personally end up editing /usr/sbin/lightdm-session line 37 and 43
after every installation.

Completely agree with iGEL with his comment:  `and for these people,
xrdb won't even be executed - No loss in speed.`

Unless someone comes with a good reason not to fix this, this should
definitely be fixed.

xrdb has supported this feature for longer than the operating system
kernel we're all using has even existed. I see no reason to break
backwards compatibility just for the sake of breaking it.

As you say, most people don't have a .Xresources file, and for these
people, xrdb won't even be executed - No loss in speed. For those people
who do: I would argue, that the complications of your solution are far
worse than the 0.01 second the -nocpp option saves (tested on my crappy
400 Euro notebook from 2011). People expect standard features to work
out of the box these days.

[Bug 1244578] Re: lightdm-session runs xrdb with -nocpp option

[Olivier Mengué]

I think that cpp has been disabled for performance reasons: few people
use .Xresources, and fewer use cpp processing directives in their
.Xresources.

As you are manually editing your .Xresources only once in a while it
would be more efficient for session initialization to process your X
ressources definitions yourself through cpp just once after your
editing.

So I propose to mark this bug as WONTFIX.
