| tjaalton | bryce: whoa, you closed a couple of intel bugs :) | 07:22 |
| bryce | :-) | 07:23 |
| bryce | tjaalton: halfway to my goal of reducing -intel to <100 bugs | 07:24 |
| tjaalton | I guess there are a lot of bugs on drivers which should really be against mesa | 07:25 |
| tjaalton | DRI, 3D etc | 07:26 |
| bryce | could be | 07:26 |
| bryce | it's interesting how much easier it is working on bugs once they're cataloged properly | 07:26 |
| tjaalton | right | 07:27 |
| bryce | so like today since I'd finished with New, I just focused on bugs marked 'Incomplete' | 07:27 |
| bryce | next time I'll focus on the confirmed ones and get them upstreamed | 07:28 |
| tjaalton | or ask to try with hardy | 07:28 |
| bryce | I did that a lot today | 07:28 |
| tjaalton | yeah | 07:28 |
| bryce | it was interesting just how large a portion of the bugs were plain old out of date | 07:28 |
| bryce | sort of makes me think how unproductive a lot of the bug reporting efforts are - the bug report never gets seen upstream, yet the issue got fixed anyway, so the effort of reporting the bug merely generated work, with no benefit. | 07:30 |
| bryce | not really their fault though of course | 07:30 |
| tjaalton | I think our documentation should be changed to use 'lspci -nn | grep VGA', which should be enough. -vvnn creates too much noise | 07:31 |
| tjaalton | thats partly because there are too many bugs open | 07:32 |
| tjaalton | ..still | 07:32 |
| tjaalton | so if we only had those that we are certain about, it would be easier to identify new ones and forward upstream | 07:32 |
| bryce | yup | 07:34 |
| tjaalton | having a release biannually doesn't really help :P | 07:36 |
| bryce | in any case, I feel like we're making good progress with them | 07:37 |
| bryce | I'd like to get to a point where I can focus on creating fixes more than just managing bug loads | 07:38 |
| tjaalton | a reasonable goal indeed :) | 07:57 |
| tjaalton | yay, we are below 1600 bugs (1580) | 07:58 |
| bryce | nice; where is that totaled? | 07:59 |
| tjaalton | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+packagebugs | 07:59 |
| tjaalton | that's my start page when triaging | 07:59 |
| tjaalton | bbl | 08:01 |
| bryce | ah cool | 08:01 |
| bryce | looks like most bugs are in lrm | 08:02 |
| tjaalton | yeah :/ | 08:52 |
| tjaalton | ati needs a cleanup as well | 08:53 |
| tjaalton | maybe I should put the BTFH hat on and start bashing :P | 08:53 |
| bryce | hehe :-) | 09:12 |
| tjaalton | bryce: did you notice my comment about the bug list you showed me? only one of them has been tested against the ~latest driver, and the rest should be fixed according to upstream (I actually closed some of them) | 09:19 |
| tjaalton | this was about intel vs. i810 | 09:19 |
| bryce | oh cool, no I missed that | 09:20 |
| tjaalton | so it looks like i810 could be dropped IMHO | 09:20 |
| bryce | was that this page? http://people.ubuntu.com/~ogasawara/qa-hardy-list-archive/sort-by-package/current-buglist.html | 09:20 |
| tjaalton | 12:04 < bryce> 114331 135093 147189 157610 16887 131972 and probably others | 09:21 |
| tjaalton | nope, that :) | 09:21 |
| bryce | ahh | 09:21 |
| tjaalton | 147189 is the one that seems to be valid now, and I forwared it upstream | 09:22 |
| bryce | ok | 09:23 |
| bryce | there were some more 8xx ones I looked at in doing the triage today. I don't remember whether I asked for them to be re-tested or if they looked legit | 09:24 |
| bryce | but yeah, I think we're getting close to being ready to deprecate it | 09:26 |
| tjaalton | I asked Shaun (147189) to try the latest driver | 09:26 |
| tjaalton | since it seems that the past week there has been some changes that should fix issues with i830 | 09:27 |
| Ng | ooh, new -intel this morning :) | 09:38 |
| bryce | heya Ng | 09:38 |
| Ng | hey hey :) | 09:38 |
| Ng | how evil am I for using EXA, greedy migration and "ExaNoComposite" "false"? | 09:39 |
| Ng | seems to make EXA as nippy as XAA | 09:39 |
| tjaalton | for me just the greedy stuff is enough (965) | 09:40 |
| tjaalton | bryce: we actually toyed with the idea to use EXA only for 965 and use greedy :) | 09:40 |
| tjaalton | this was on #ubuntu-desktop yesterday | 09:40 |
| bryce | not a bad idea actually | 09:44 |
| tjaalton | and XAA for the rest | 09:46 |
| tjaalton | I'm not sure if it's doable, but.. | 09:46 |
| bryce | yeah, I was wondering if that's feasible myself | 09:47 |
| bryce | bedtime... night | 09:48 |
| tjaalton | greedy makes it use CPU more, so I haven't tried what happens to the battery lifetime | 09:48 |
| tjaalton | night! | 09:48 |
| Ng | hmm | 09:48 |
| Ng | there's something odd about the new driver | 09:48 |
| tjaalton | Ng: oh? describe | 09:49 |
| Ng | tjaalton: it's quite hard to describe, but things like the fading in of menus is more like a flicker | 09:49 |
| Ng | and it almost seems like colours are made up of 8bit gif dithering | 09:49 |
| tjaalton | hmm | 09:50 |
| tjaalton | Ng: you had 945? | 09:51 |
| Ng | nah this is 855 | 09:51 |
| tjaalton | ah ok | 09:51 |
| Ng | gonna try pulling out those options | 09:53 |
| Ng | it's possible my eyes have just gone funny ;) | 09:53 |
| Ng | no, that didn't help :/ | 09:54 |
| Ng | going back to XAA doesn't seem to have helped either | 09:58 |
| tjaalton | ok, so it seems like a regression then | 09:59 |
| Ng | a pretty hard one to describe, but for example glxgears - the green gear looks like it alternates between light green dots and dark green dots instead of all of the pixels being a uniform green | 10:02 |
| Ng | I should still have the old package, I'll give that a try again just to be sure I'm not mad | 10:04 |
| tjaalton | hehe | 10:04 |
| Ng | nope, definitely not mad :) | 10:06 |
| Ng | 2:2.2.0+git20080107-1ubuntu2 is better | 10:06 |
| jcristau | should be pretty easy to bisect then | 10:07 |
| tjaalton | yes, since that version had all the commits up to ~Jan 31. | 10:07 |
| Ng | filed as #189868 | 10:14 |
| tjaalton | thanks | 10:15 |
| tjaalton | looks like the only possible commit which broke this is "Allow non-strict free order for bo_list" a70b59bd44d14e77c9e522dbe225b62a8bcf3050 | 10:37 |
| Ng | tjaalton: I'd be happy to test a build without that :) | 10:48 |
| jcristau | Ng: git-revert a70b59bd; make :) | 10:48 |
| tjaalton | Ng: I'll reply to the bug, 'patch -R < foo' should work too :) | 10:51 |
| tjaalton | yeah, menus work fine on my 965 | 11:01 |

| Ng | in a browser I get a patch | 11:45 |
| tjaalton | 928 bytes | 11:45 |
| Ng | this is a patch to i830_memory.c, right? | 11:46 |
| tjaalton | yes | 11:47 |
| Ng | it's not reverse applying cleanly. just looking at why | 11:47 |
| tjaalton | it's not that huge either, so you can just edit by hand if all else fails :) | 11:48 |
| Ng | I sure wish patch could tell me why though | 11:50 |
| * Ng shrugs. visual inspections suggest I reverted it by hand fine, but the patch still doesn't apply. gonna build it and see what happens ;) | 11:53 | |
| Ng | tjaalton: nope, still doing it without that patch, afaics | 12:00 |
| tjaalton | bah | 12:00 |
| tjaalton | Ng: look at the commits since the one 13 days ago, list found here http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel.git;a=shortlog;h=xf86-video-intel-2.2-branch | 12:08 |
| tjaalton | and apply one at a time on top of the working driver | 12:08 |
| tjaalton | but I guess you don't have the sources anymore? | 12:08 |
| tjaalton | you can find it here: http://users.tkk.fi/~tjaalton/dpkg | 12:10 |

| tjaalton | could be the same commit that causes the breakage | 17:35 |

| Ng | tjaalton: yeah, I'll try and work through the patches this weekend | 17:48 |

| tjaalton | so, we could drop -i810 with 2.2.1 final | 19:37 |
