So this is the delay from: 2012-04-12 16:36:11,789 - softwarecenter.backend - INFO - add_repo_add_key_and_install_app() 'private-ppa.launchpad.net/commercial-ppa-uploaders/bobby/ubuntu precise main' '1024R/75254D99' 'Bobby,bobby' ... (apparently 4 failed attempts before)... 2012-04-12 16:40:07,105 - softwarecenter.backend - INFO - _on_reload_for_add_repo_and_install_app_finished() <AptTransaction object at 0x587b370 (aptdaemon+client+AptTransaction at 0x66b5c80)> True Bobby,bobby
during which time USC is unable to see /var/lib/apt/lists/private- ppa.launchpad.net_commercial-ppa- uploaders_bobby_ubuntu_dists_precise_Release.gpg This would indeed indicate that USC wasn't able to access the private PPA until then, but is strange as the only LP script that I can imagine causing this delay is the one updating the ht-access for the private PPA - that's currently scheduled to happen every minute (cronscripts /generate-ppa-htaccess.py has a crontab with * * * * *). Indeed, checking the logs for generate-ppa-htaccess.py and assuming that the above logs are all -0300 (Natalia's tz) shows it happily chugging along nearly once-per minute until {{{ 2012-04-12 19:36:33 INFO Logging INFO and higher messages to /srv/launchpad.net/production-logs/lp_publish/generate-ppa-htaccess.log 2012-04-12 19:36:33 INFO Creating lockfile: /var/lock/launchpad-generate-ppa-htaccess.lock 2012-04-12 19:37:14 INFO Logging INFO and higher messages to /srv/launchpad.net/production-logs/lp_publish/generate-ppa-htaccess.log 2012-04-12 19:37:14 INFO Creating lockfile: /var/lock/launchpad-generate-ppa-htaccess.lock 2012-04-12 19:37:35 INFO Starting the PPA .htaccess generation 2012-04-12 19:38:10 INFO Logging INFO and higher messages to /srv/launchpad.net/production-logs/lp_publish/generate-ppa-htaccess.log 2012-04-12 19:38:10 INFO Creating lockfile: /var/lock/launchpad-generate-ppa-htaccess.lock 2012-04-12 19:39:10 INFO Logging INFO and higher messages to /srv/launchpad.net/production-logs/lp_publish/generate-ppa-htaccess.log 2012-04-12 19:39:10 INFO Creating lockfile: /var/lock/launchpad-generate-ppa-htaccess.lock 2012-04-12 19:39:50 INFO Committing transaction... 2012-04-12 19:39:56 INFO Finished PPA .htaccess generation }}} (more context for log https://pastebin.canonical.com/64326/) which seems to indicate that: 1) Started at 19:36:33 but didn't even start PPA.htaccess generation (perhaps lockfile existed? Need to check the lp code) 2) Restarted at 19:37:14 but didn't commit the transaction or finish the htaccess generation. 3) Restarted at 19:38:10 but didn't even start PPA .htaccess generation, before finally 4) Restarted at 19:39:10 and finished 46 seconds later. I've put that in an LP bug 982938 so we can track it (we may have to investigate/fix ourselves, just let me know). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/980241 Title: Purchasing software took almost 5 minutes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/980241/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
