seb128hey lucas_ 11:20
lucas_hi seb128 :)11:20
seb128so, you've tried the distro ? :)11:21
lucas_yes, but I don't have much to say yet, since I ran into a problem with the screen going blank when gdm starts11:21
seb128utch11:22
seb128which video card ?11:23
lucas_nforce 211:23
lucas_with the nv driver11:23
lucas_I used my debian's XF86Config-411:23
lucas_nothing in XFree's logs11:23
seb128the warty one was not correct ?11:24
lucas_I wasn't sure, and I wanted to make sure it wasn't a config problem11:24
lucas_I'll try again later with other drivers11:25
seb128but on the first boot with the warty config you got a blank screen ?11:25
lucas_yes11:25
seb128fabbione: already heard about such problem ?11:25
lucas_the screen is all black11:25
lucas_(and the monitor doesnt go into power-saving mode)11:25
lucas_I then booted in single user mode and disabled gdm11:26
fabbionelucas_: please try to start X without gdm11:27
fabbioneand check the log file11:27
lucas_tried that, same results11:27
fabbionelet's isolate one problem at a time11:27
lucas_there's nothing relevant in X's log11:27
fabbionedid X in debian work with the same config?11:27
lucas_yes11:28
=== fabbione scratches his head
fabbionewhich version of X are you using?11:28
lucas_in debian ?11:28
fabbionedid you upgrade from the net after cd install?11:28
lucas_in debian, the unstable one11:28
lucas_in ubuntu the latest (I upgraded)11:29
fabbionelucas_: ok that can explain.11:29
fabbioneyour config is borked11:29
fabbionethe last X in ubuntu has some issues11:29
fabbionebe sure to use a working config11:29
lucas_can you define "working config" ? :)11:30
fabbionelucas_: the one you were using before?11:30
lucas_I'm using the one I'm using with debian11:31
fabbioneare you 100% sure? again there is a problem in X upgrade process in ubuntu that was mangling config file...11:31
lucas_I just checked.11:32
fabbionethat btw i am trying to fix now..11:32
lucas_oh, btw, am I supposed to see a bootsplash ? because I don't11:33
fabbioneno you are not11:33
lucas_ok11:33
fabbionenot to start X atleast11:33
lucas_no I mean during boot11:33
lucas_(nothing to do with the other problem)11:33
fabbionewhich chipset you have?11:35
fabbionenv?11:35
lucas_nvidia nforce11:35
lucas_nv driver yes11:35
lucas_(bootsplash works with vesa in my debian install)11:36
fabbione  * Grab from XFree86 CVS (2003-07-16) more updates to the nv driver.  Fixes11:37
fabbionehmmmmm11:37
fabbionelucas_: how would you feel to do a test for us and debian in one shot?11:37
fabbionei will help you.. but i need your help as well11:37
lucas_no problem11:37
lucas_but my X problem is ubuntu-specific11:38
lucas_it works in debian with the nv drivr11:38
lucas_and it has worked for ages11:38
fabbionelucas_: it is now.. it might be in debian too. that's why i need your help to test11:38
lucas_ok11:38
=== fabbione thinks the easiest way to test
fabbionedo you have debian on that machine too or only ubuntu?11:39
lucas_no, both11:39
fabbioneok perfect11:39
fabbioneswitch to debian, apt-get source xfree86 && apt-get build-dep xfree8611:39

fabbionedown to the bottom there is a section "Building the package"11:40
fabbionei need you to do that procedure11:41
fabbioneand try the packages from svn trunk11:41
fabbionethey contain the same nv drivers we have here11:41
fabbionetest the packages with the known working config11:41
fabbioneit will take you a while...11:42
fabbioneapprox 5GB of space and probably 1 hour or so to build X11:42
fabbione(depends how fast is your machine11:42
lucas_eh, why don't I just get the .deb from ubuntu and install them on debian ?11:42
fabbionelucas_: no. don't do that11:42
fabbioneyou will just install broken packages on a known working system11:43
fabbioneand i am pretty sure the problem is related to nv driver update11:43
lucas_ok11:43
fabbioneyou can try to borrow only the driver from ubuntu11:43
lucas_ok, I'm doing that now11:44
fabbionebut i much rather prefer if you can test the whole11:44

lucas_fabbione: so, with the nv_drv.o from ubuntu, X didn't start in Debian11:57
lucas_and with the nv_drv.o from Debian, X did work in ubuntu11:57
fabbionelucas_: goody.. at least we know where the problem is11:57
fabbionelucas_: i need you to do a reportbug in debian11:57
fabbionebecause it will affect the new Xfree86 upload11:58
fabbionedo the following:11:58

fabbioneonce you get an answer from the BTS12:00
fabbioneplease let me know the bug number12:00
lucas_I'll do that later (in an hour or so)12:00
lucas_ok12:00
fabbioneso that we can track in ubuntu too12:00
fabbionethanks12:01
lucas_hum the thing is, I didn't really tested the svn trunk version12:01
fabbionelucas_: well you tested the svn trunk version of the driver12:01
lucas_ok12:02
fabbionei did check12:13
fabbionethe updates only touches the nv driver and nothing more12:13
fabbioneso you can safely use newer drivers with the old packages12:13
