cr3dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg does not seem to prompt for the video driver anymore, is this a known change?17:06
tjaaltoncr3: yes17:21
cr3tjaalton: is this a bug or is there another way to reconfigure xserver-xorg now?17:22
tjaaltoncr3: what do you mean?17:31
tjaaltonit's not a bug17:31
tjaaltonthe xserver uses the best driver available, unless you want to use binary blobs17:32
jcristauif you want to change it, 'vim' works fine17:32
tjaalton:)17:32
tjaaltoncr3: for restricted drivers, use the driver manager. soon it'll have cmdline interface as well17:34
brycehi seb17:47
brycehmm, no seb17:47
seb128hi18:01
seb128does anybody sees what is wrong there http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/xorgbug?18:04
seb128that's the xorg conf written by displayconfig-gtk on gutsy when selecting the monitor corresponding to the configuration and the corresponding xorg log because it starts in failsafe mode after using displayconfig-gtk18:05
bryceno permission to view the xorg.conf18:07
seb128bryce: fixed18:07
brycedo you have the Xorg.0.log from the original boot attempt?18:09
seb128original boot?18:09
brycethe attempt to launch X prior to the failsafe attempt18:10
bryceXorg.0.log.old perhaps18:10
seb128bryce: http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/xorgbug/Xorg.0.log.old18:10
seb128the box boots correctly after installation18:10
seb128the problems start happening after using displayconfig-gtk to configure a monitor18:11
seb128bryce: http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/xorgbug/xorg.conf.1 is the stock working config18:12
bryceah ok18:12
brycewell I think we are going to deprecate displayconfig-gtk now18:12
seb128ok, so not worth debugging ;-)18:12
bryceprobably not18:12
brycemy guess is that an incorrect monitor configuration got selected18:13
seb128what will be the recommend wait to configure a CRT monitor when the default resolution is not adapted?18:13
seb128well, the selected model is the one connected to the PC18:13
seb128and selecting a generic monitor with a non too high resolution doesn't work either18:14
seb128I don't have the log for those though18:14
seb128I've not been on the buggy box, just doing remote debugging18:14
brycewell, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server is still the best way to do it (we even recommend it still when displayconfig-gtk fails)18:14
bryceideally, I think we know a lot better now how to quirk monitors and update drivers to fix these sorts of issues directly18:15
seb128well, my fix is "sudo cp xorg.conf.1 xorg.conf" which works fine18:15
* bryce nods18:15
seb128but I've issue explaining why selecting the right monitor leads to a situation why I need to do command line magic to get a working box again ;-)18:15
seb128why -> where18:16
bryceyep, well in such cases we'll just need to apologize and promise to try to sort out why the monitor was not autodetected18:17
bryceI think we can leave displayconfig-gtk available for people to install and use if they wish; although like you see, it doesn't give a guarantee of a correct config either18:18
ubotuNew bug: #195669 in xorg (main) "pc running at low resolution " [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19566918:19
seb128bryce: and do you see what is wrong in this one? http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/xorgbug/Xorg.9.log I think that's another try with a generic monitor which should be no issue18:22
seb128bryce: would hardy be better? I can give a daily CD to try ;-)18:22

ubotuLaunchpad bug 198450 in gnome-settings-daemon "gnome-settings-daemon crashed with SIGSEGV" [Medium,New] 18:37
seb128bryce: this user still get a crash using the new versions18:38
seb128version rather, I did upload your gnome-desktop update but no gnome-settings-daemon change18:38
bryceseb128: sorry, I'm feeling ill, and suspect I am going to be taking some sick days19:15
bryce198450 probably needs the gnome-settings-daemon change19:17
bryceseb128: hard to say without knowing the Xorg.0.log and/or driver19:18
brycewhen I looked into this monday, I saw there's two different mechanisms that can lead to the crash at the same spot in the code, so both the gnome-desktop and gnome-settings-daemon fixes are needed to 19:19
bryceI haven't ruled out that there might be more than those two ways for it to get to that point with an invalid pointer, so we do need to watch for additional crashes.19:20
seb128bryce: ok, no hurry, get well19:41
seb128I've to go19:41
