debug logs for the presence service and connection managers not working

[tomeu]

because these services are auto-activated by the dbus daemon and we set the env vars too late during startup.

Instead of sourcing ~/.sugar/debug in bin/sugar, we should do it in whatever script launches dbus-session, before it does so.

In SoaS this is in .Xclients.

Thanks for the update on this. I had no luck so far with it on soas - doing it in .Xclients

[erikos]

in .Xclients I do:

xsetroot -def

export SALUT_DEBUG=all

eval $(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)

The variable is exported fine when I check in the terminal session. But there are no salut logs been written.

[erikos]

Ok, cool - I had to define the logfile as well.

export SALUT_LOGFILE=~/.sugar/default/logs/telepathy-salut.log

Works now. Let's see how we do that best on soas.

[erikos]

Let's just source the debug options file in the .Xclients - just needs to be before "eval \\\$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)"

if [ -f ~/.sugar/debug ]; then
	. ~/.sugar/debug
fi

eval \\\$(dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session)

Might be good to add to an xinitrc.d file...I'm trying this out in my soas-devxo branch:

cat > /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/000-source-sugar-debug-settings.sh <<EOF
if [ -f ~/.sugar/debug ]; then

. ~/.sugar/debug

fi
EOF

(not sure about the tilde-expansion but we'll see...)

NOTE:
soas-strawberry still has typos in the ~/.sugar/debug file. Missing spaces:

see  http://dev.sugarlabs.org/ticket/718 it says it was fixed but soas-strawbeery still contains this.

Commited patch just source debug files before starting python code
