ubotuNew bug: #126861 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (main) "OpenGL crashes x61s" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/12686102:27
brycebeh, backporting mesa from git-head is a PITA08:09
bryceit's not worth this much effort :-P  I'm calling time08:10
tjaaltonhehe08:13
brycebtw, we probably should move libpciaccess-dev into main during hardy; if/when people ask for xserver backports we'll want that in08:14
brycehuh, this is odd - https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bugs08:18
bryceare those misfiled bugs?08:18
tjaaltonno, it's the "upstream component"08:19
tjaaltonmeaning upstream xorg08:19
tjaaltonalthough it's misnamed08:19
bryceoh, is this how launchpad tracks bugs linked to it from bugzilla?08:19
tjaaltonit's not automatic, someone has created that one08:20
brycehuh08:23
tjaaltonwhen you mark a bug to affect a project, it selects this "X.org X server" automatically for some components, like savage08:25
tjaaltonit would be better to have just X.org I think08:27
bryceyup08:27
tjaaltonbut there's no way to edit the project08:28
tjaaltonoh, there is X.Org already08:28
tjaaltonah, so xorg-server is a subproject08:29
superm1twb, what exactly were you trying to accomplish with openchrome?09:33
twbBecause I don't want to rollout hardy, I'm trying to force xserver-xorg to use vesa in xorg.conf09:33
twbI'm doing fully automated d-i net installs to a bunch of (hopefully) homogeneous laptops.09:33
superm1twb, would a backport of openchrome help then?09:34
superm1perhaps09:34
twbPossibly09:34
twbI tried seeding these, which apparently had no effect:09:34
twbxserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/autodetect_video_card boolean true09:34
twbxserver-xorg xserver-xorg/config/device/driver select vesa09:34
twbOh damn09:34
superm1if you want to grab the dsc and build it on gutsy you can give it a spin09:34
twbNow I *read* the first one I see it should be false :-/09:34
superm1hehe09:35
superm1:)09:35
twbI wasted ninety minutes testing that09:35
tjaaltonyes, set that to false and it should work09:35
superm1you will get a lot better performance out of openchrome than vesa, so if these all support openchrome, it would be worthwhile to switch it over09:35
tjaaltonthat's what I use here :)09:35
twbI'm quite cabable of backporting by hand should the need arise, but for the immediate future I want to make vesa work.09:35
superm1k09:36
superm1bryce, speaking of which, should that MIR idea for openchrome be revisited now?09:36
tjaaltonbryce: are you still around?09:36
superm1considering it uses a different module name 09:36
superm1and no longer just 'via'09:36
tjaaltonsuperm1: it probably should09:36
tjaaltonand perhaps replace via as the default (like fedora9 does)09:37
superm1well but not all the cards support openchrome?09:37
tjaaltonI thought it was just a fork09:37
superm1it forked from unichrome at some point09:38
tjaaltonhmm09:38
superm1but there was separate development, and hence different supported hardware09:38
superm1i swear there is a table somewhere that lists it all09:38
superm1let me see if i can find it09:38
tjaaltonthe driver code :)09:38
twbUpstream svn openchrome calls itself openchrome_thingy.so09:39
twbWhere thingy ~= dri09:39
superm1so via forked into unichrome, and unichrome forked into openchrome09:40
superm1http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=HardwareCaveats09:40
twbIncidentally if anyone knows how to simply tell the default driver to work on the LCD head, that would be great, too.09:44
tjaaltonhmm, so 2d is supported for all of them?09:44
twbI tried telling it the panel resolution (1280x800, yecch) and playing with the Fn-<display> chord, but only got garbage on the laptop LCD except when using svn openchrome or vesa.09:44
twb(Telling it in the device stanza, I mean.)09:44
tjaaltonopenchrome seems to support lot more chips than via09:48
twbSomebody suggested that the via driver is just an old snapshot of unichrome09:48
twbHe might have been on crack at the time, tho...09:49

pochuHey folks. The bug we talked about the other day has been fixed upstream, and commited to HEAD, see freedesktop bug #13108. The launchpad bug is 173265. This affects (afaik) only intel chipsets, and the way to reproduce is to put a video in the background (e.g. hide it with another window), and after some seconds (more than 10 it seems) display it.21:02

pochubryce: thanks. Let me know if you need me to do some tests :-)21:26

tjaaltonbryce: I haven't succeeded to build a livecd :/22:56
brycehrm; should we just go ahead and push it out, and see how it goes?22:56
tjaaltonbecause openoffice refuses to install22:56
tjaaltonI guess so22:56
bryceok, do you want to upload it, or I could ask slangasek?22:57
tjaalton(the new openoffice depends on a library that is in universe, and doesn't build)22:57
tjaaltoneither works22:57
bryceok, go ahead and upload; I'll let slangasek know it's incoming22:58
tjaaltonso now that I push the change, it'll upload a new version automatically?23:08
tjaaltonah no23:13
bryce<bryce> slangasek: we're fairly confident that the change fixes the issue, and at least certain it won't make anything worse, so I'm going to have timo go ahead and upload it23:21
bryce<slangasek> ok23:21
bryce the OOo build issue is also on my list to chase up today23:21
bryce<cjwatson> bryce: patch looks fine to me, if it'll do the job23:29
bryce<bryce> cjwatson: cool thanks23:29
tjaaltoncool23:30
tjaaltonpushed already23:30
tjaaltonand now uploaded23:31
tjaaltonhopefully that's all it takes :)23:31
brycethanks!23:33
tjaaltonyeah, I'll test the daily cd tomorrow23:43
tjaaltonfor some reason those have been generated without any OOo issues23:43
tjaaltonbut even better if the new version is built by tomorrow23:44
tjaaltonbedtime again, cya ->23:44
