tjaaltonit's not on the 1.4-branch though07:35
tjaaltonbryce: the reporter is not subscribed on bug 144068 :)09:46
ubotuLaunchpad bug 144068 in xorg "X graphical interface not loading." [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/14406809:46
tjaaltonso maybe just close it as invalid (it's nvidia blob related anyway)09:47
seb128hum15:13
seb128is xorg eating modifiers every now and then a known issue?15:14
tjaaltonseb128: you mean that the special keys don't work?15:30
tjaaltonctrl,alt,shift..15:30
seb128yes, that's not called modifiers?15:30
tjaaltonI guess they are :)15:31
seb128looks like it keeps generating this event when that happens15:31

tjaaltonI haven't seen that but I've been using evdev.. gues there's a bug open for that15:31

brycetjaalton: that sounds fine18:31
brycetjaalton: fwiw, now that triaged bugs are at 0 New, I've turned attention to Incomplete bugs with a response, and have begun working my way through them18:32
bryce(starting with some old ones -- so if you notice reports that are invalid or whatever, please feel free to handle accordingly)18:32
tjaaltonbryce: ok, cool18:33
tjaaltonI noticed that there are at least two mesa patches upstream that affect some compiz related crashes, but they are not on the stable branch for some reason18:35
pwnguinheh19:23
pwnguin"And it turns out null-pointer dereferences are bad."19:23
tjaaltonyeah, that was one of them :)19:26
ubotuNew bug: #186017 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (restricted) "kaffeine-xine crashed with ATI Radeon official drivers" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18601719:26
pwnguintjaalton: so uh, do i need to back/forward port the patch?19:33
tjaaltonpwnguin: the xkbLED patch?19:35
pwnguinyea19:35
tjaaltonask if it could be included in the 1.4-branch19:37
tjaaltonthat's the best approach imho19:39
brycetjaalton: hey btw, colin and I were wondering what further work is needed for input support / hal?19:51
brycetjaalton: if there's work still needed, I want to set aside some time to assist with that19:51
tjaaltonbryce: gravity has some patches that would make it use the configuration on xorg.conf19:51
tjaaltonso no need to edit some bizarre fdi file19:52
tjaaltonhe hasn't published them yet afaik19:52
tjaaltonbut please poke him about it :)19:52
bryceok19:53
bryceaside from that, is the autoconfiguration of input devices all squared away, or is there more feature development work needed?19:54
bryceor are we back to just bug squishing?19:54
pwnguindoes that mean i wouldnt need an xorg.conf for say, wacom?19:57
brycepwnguin: yes that's the intent19:57
tjaaltonactually, that depends on how the wacom driver is doing19:57
tjaaltonbryce: mjg59 said once that synaptics needs some love, and he promised to do something about it but I don't know if he's had the time yet19:58
bryceok, maybe we should follow up with him20:03
tjaaltonit was before christmas though :)20:03
brycein fact he was at the sprint in london for one day last week20:04
tjaaltonand now at LCA20:04
bryceted asked him some questions about reusing the synaptics approach for configuring wacom and other things20:04
brycehe was talking about needing an X extension similar to xrandr, but for input devices, in order to do all this stuff right20:05
brycehrm, which I'd taken notes20:05
bryceok, I'll follow up with him at some point.  I suspect this is going to take more time than we have for hardy20:06
tjaaltonyeah20:06
brycebtw, I've had some emails with glatzor, mpt, and others to get the plans sorted out for the xrandr gui tool20:07
seb128hey bryce20:08
bryceheya seb12820:08
tjaaltonbryce: cool, right now it's pretty useless :/20:08
seb128bryce: didn't you read my comment before?20:08
bryceseb128: oh I must have missed it20:09
bryceseb128: btw, I got confirmation regarding your advice on gnome-control-center preferring C - http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnomecc-list/2007-November/msg00043.html20:09
bryceseb128: sorry, could you repeat the comment?20:10
seb128bryce: no, I switched computer since, basically that's modifier not working every now and then, I think that's an xorg issue20:11
tjaaltonyes, I'll dig up the bug20:12
seb128when that happens the cursor is directly hidden in widget that do that on key events20:12
seb128and xev confirm that xorg seems to generate continuous events20:12
seb128I copied the xev event on the chan, I've it on my laptop and can attach it to a bug or copy it again later if required20:13
bryceseb128: ah ok; sorry technically I'm on holiday today so am trying not to work (it's hard!) but I'll look into it tomorrow after I finish more ubuntu-mobile stuff, if you can send me the bug20:13
seb128ups, sorry20:13
seb128technically I've finished my work day ;-)20:13
seb128right20:13
seb128let me know when you look at it, there is no hurry20:14
seb128I'm just hanging around in case of one of the late GNOME 2.21.90 upload is an issue for the CD build20:14
brycecool20:14
tjaalton17:31 < seb128> looks like it keeps generating this event when that happens20:14

bryceyeah I plan to spend today on getting inkscape further along for the release :-)20:14
seb128tjaalton: thanks20:14
bryceok, got it, I'll investigate more tomorrow20:15
seb128thanks20:15
seb128I'm using compiz there in case that's revelant, I'll try without it if that happens20:15
bryceoh btw, is there a LP# for this?20:16
tjaaltonI bet there is20:16
seb128not from me, but Hobbsee mentionned she has a such issue for some time and somebody else too20:16
seb128I doubt that's due to the wm, I tried switching to no desktop effect and activating the option again and that didn't fix it20:17
bryceok, I'll search if someone already put in a report.  I may ask for your Xorg.0.log and xorg.conf later20:17
seb128so that looks like an xorg issue20:17
seb128sure20:17
seb128I'll copy those next time I run into the bug20:17
brycemaybe check ~/.xsession-errors too, just in case20:18
seb128ok20:20
seb128will do that tomorrow, I doubt I'll work enough to trigger it again today ;-)20:20
bryceseb128: btw, I was looking at some dejavu font issues yesterday.  Is that package owned by Arne?  20:20
seb128nobody owns package in ubuntu ;-)20:21
bryceit appears some of his patches from Gutsy were not ported forward to Hardy, so there were regressions20:21
bryceahh, "Is he the person that normally would keep an eye on that package?"20:21
seb128I don't think arne did lot of packaging changes yet but he's the fonts contact, so if you have any change to do there might be a good idea to talk to him first20:21
bryceok good, I described the solution for the user reporting the problem and asked that he contact arne about it20:22
tjaaltonseb128: so the modifier key is 'stuck' for a while?20:28
seb128the events seem to be loop generated or something like that20:29
seb128I've looked to the logs but there was nothing obvious there20:29
tjaaltonI can't find any bugs with that description on LP20:34
tjaaltonhehe, freedesktop bug 1353820:45
