tjaaltonmorning bryce_, how's London?10:39
bryce_tjaalton: not too bad; was sort of sunny today10:39
bryce_I've had several people ask about touchpad breakages10:40
bryce_just a couple so far with X startup issues10:40
tjaaltonrecent?10:40
bryce_soren has found some issues with cirrus and kvm10:40
bryce_yeah10:40
tjaaltonok..10:40
ubotuNew bug: #144846 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 "Crashed when trying to install/download Nvidia drivers" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/14484610:40
tjaaltonI'm updating lrm with latest nvidia & fglrx..10:43
bryce_I've given soren some advice for fixing it, to try contacting the maintainer, etc.10:43
bryce_cool10:43
tjaaltonand closing a shitload of bugs10:43
tjaaltonsynaptics is dead upstream..10:43
bryce_asac has a bunch of fglrx issues, that could be quite helpful10:43
bryce_I spent about an hour with him this morning10:43
tjaaltonbut mjg59 promised to do some work on synaptics10:43
bryce_a couple people have complained about touchpad/synaptic issues10:43
bryce_like right click10:44
tjaaltonwell, the default config no longer has an entry for it, still waiting for i-h..10:44
bryce_in any case, things seem to be a lot more stable than last time I was here :-)10:44
tjaaltonactually, you could ask them to try putting the fdi file from /usr/share/doc/hal/examples to /etc/hal/fdi/policy10:45
tjaalton10-x11-input.fdi10:45
tjaaltonand edit the keymap to that file10:45
bryce_tjaalton: btw, are you planning on doing a new -intel relatively soon?10:45
tjaaltonif not 'us'10:45
tjaaltonI could10:46
tjaaltonjust a snapshot or with XAA too?10:46
bryce_I've got a patch for it, you could toss in10:46
tjaaltonok, cool10:46
bryce_bug 17577410:47
ubotuLaunchpad bug 175774 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[hardy] Enabling "Normal" effects produces badly drawn window shadows." [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17577410:47
tjaaltonoh that10:47
tjaaltondid you notice the msgs on xorg@?10:48
tjaaltonif we switch back to XAA that's not an issue anymore10:48
bryce_actually it is, if people wish to turn EXA on10:49
tjaaltonyep10:50
bryce_even if we go to XAA by default, XAA is deprecated so EXA bugs are still going to be relevant unfortunately10:50
bryce_so I take it you've no more hope of getting the libdrm/ttm stuff functional for hardy?10:50
tjaaltoncurrently I can't even test it :/10:51
tjaaltonprobably due to some version mismatch with the libraries10:51
tjaaltonI'll wait a week and retry10:51
bryce_ah10:52
tjaaltonI managed to build the driver, but it complained about some missing symbols10:53
tjaaltonthen I rolled back everything on my laptop to be able to use it :)10:53
bryce_are we able to configure things such that XAA is used for 965, but EXA is used for other intel chipsets?10:55
tjaaltonEXA is just as slow for !965 too :/10:55
bryce_hrm10:57
bryce_btw, I raised the issue about upstream dropping support for existing techs too swiftly when new techs are pushed out.10:58
bryce_Don't know if anything will come of it, but maybe next time it'll make someone give a little thought to transition planning10:58
bryce_today I think I'm going to try getting Q-FUNK's patches integrated10:59
tjaaltonupstream?10:59
bryce_xorg11:00
tjaaltoni mean you are trying to get those patches upstream?11:00
bryce_no, just build a ubuntu package11:00
tjaaltonah, ok11:00
* bryce_ wonders when Q-FUNK might pop in11:16
bryce_tjaalton: how things going with you?11:25
tjaaltonbryce_: trying to get this lrm out of the door, why?-)11:26
tjaaltonoh, I'm hungry too11:26
bryce_mm, fuud11:26
bryce_no reason, just curious11:27
tjaaltonlot of cruft in lrm11:27
tjaaltonbut one thing at a time11:27
bryce_yup11:27
tjaaltontonight I'll receive the PS3 our choir got as a gift from the singstar world record11:30
tjaaltonso I'll be playing with it for a couple of days until it's installed on the choir club flat11:31
bryce_cool11:32
tjaaltonmy wife is not looking forward to that..11:33
bryce_heh11:33
bryce_yeah my fiancée says I can get any computer stuff no questions asked, but just no PS3's or WIii's or etc.11:34
tjaaltonthe other day I tried 'frets on fire' (guitar hero clone), and she said that I'll never become a guitarist :)11:34
tjaaltonhehe11:35
bryce_hehe11:36
tjaaltonmvo: hi, do you understand why removing nvidia-glx* on amd64 fails like on bug 184212?12:00
tjaaltonbad ubotu12:00
* tjaalton slaps ubotu with a trout12:01
ubotuLaunchpad bug 184212 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 "package nvidia-glx-new 169.07+2.6.24.4-4.11 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 2" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18421212:01

tjaaltonhmmh, I wonder if fglrx depends on libstdc++5 anymore..14:40
bryce_whoa14:40
tjaaltonlrm build-deps on that14:40
bryce_weird14:41
tjaaltonsince Sep 2005..14:41
tjaaltonso I'd say no14:41
bryce_maybe their old config tool needed it?14:41
bryce_remove it and see if it builds?14:41
tjaaltonyeah14:41
tjaaltonit's just that installing the driver pulls in gcc-3.3-base and libstdc++514:43
tjaaltonthat's how I noticed14:44
bryce_mpt came to me with a problem that sounds a lot like bug 18407814:52

bryce_tjaalton: I am noticing a weird issue on 965 where new windows show static briefly for a fraction of a second before drawing16:52
bryce_tjaalton: bdmurray says he sees it too, on 945 without compiz16:52
bryce_tjaalton: have you seen this behavior?16:52

tjaaltonnot in a hurry or anything :P17:36
tjaaltonalways time for irc17:36
bryce_heh17:36
bryce_I'm still working through q-funk's patch17:36
tjaaltondoesn't merge easily?17:36
bryce_looks like it requires manual application on xserver 1.4, but so far looks straightforward17:36
bryce_no17:36
tjaaltonok.. gotta go now ->17:37
bryce_cya17:39
tjaaltonfck, missed the train, again17:43
tjaaltonmore beer then17:43
tjaaltonI didn't upload the lrm yet, but it's finished17:45
tjaaltonfinished as in ready17:46
bryce_oops, sorry about the train!18:02
tjaaltonhehe18:03

pcjc2_hi18:46
bryyceheya pcjc2_18:46
pcjc2_I'm finding myself motivated to do some X11 debugging after a recent reboot ;)18:46
pcjc2_I'm aware of the security update regression breaking java and wx apps..18:47
pcjc2_any word on updates around this time also causing system-wide profiles to spend inordinate amounts of time in memcpy shifting textures around?18:47
bryycehmm, not that I've heard18:48
keescookpcjc2_: the java/wx things is fixed.18:48
bryycethis on hardy or gutsy?18:48
keescooker, thing18:48
pcjc2_it doesn't appear to be the 1.3.0.0.dfsg-12ubuntu8.3 update, as I just reverted it18:48
pcjc2_Gutsy still18:48
bryycethere haven't been any other gutsy updates to X stuff18:49
bryycecan't speak about kernel things18:49
pcjc2_I'm trying to decipher the update logs.. but something is slowing this box to a crawl18:49
pcjc2_Work has been really hectic lately, but i'm still reading bug-mail. I heard the poor prognosis for EXA in Hardy.. shame18:50
bryyceyeah18:54
bryycewell, aside from the performance issues, there's a few other quirks that make EXA look not so ready for prime time18:54
bryyceone of which I posted a patch for yesterday18:55
pcjc2_I got the feeling more people were working on the intel driver recently18:56
bryycethere's certainly more motion18:56
pcjc2_I recently discovered the joys of trying to get a package into Debian.. no motion involved there18:59
pcjc2_gah.. reboot time, this machine is very unhappy indeed19:26
