bryceok, revert dialog seems to work, although my devel box for some reason borks up when setting to a lower resolution.  Only piece of hw I have that does that though.  Odd.05:15

bryceseb128_: with the three updated patches, what needs to happen is to replace the corresponding patches in the three packages, and then update all the other patches as needed since some of the code changes may cause minor breakage.16:15
seb128_bryce: ok16:15
brycedennda: ok no prob, yeah I know how it goes re:busy.  16:15
seb128_bryce: could you try to remove debug g_print calls in those patches? I would like to not have .xsession-errors flooded with non issues in hardy16:16
bryceseb128_: by "the three updated patches" I mean the redhat patches I posted at http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/XrandrGui/, not the revert dialog patches16:17
seb128_ok16:17
seb128_let's go by steps and get the revert changes in first16:17
brycethe revert dialog patches aren't ready for upload yet - in addition to the g_print() calls there's at least one situation I know of that will cause it to not work right16:18
seb128_ok16:18
seb128_also I commented on the bug, I just had a quick look to the gnome-desktop one16:18
brycewell, if you can work on the new redhat patches, I can continue work on the revert dialog to get that done in the meantime, and then help in with what remains for the redhat patches16:19
seb128_you like file in the return false cases16:19
seb128_s/like/leak16:19
seb128_in what order do you want to do things?16:19
seb128_update to current redhat versions first16:19
seb128_and then do the undo?16:19
bryceI think the revert dialog should get uploaded first; it's almost done.  I expect once the new redhat stuff is packaged we'll need to test it a day or so16:20
seb128__re16:23
seb128__sorry sucking dsl line today16:23
seb128__<seb128_> ok16:24
seb128__ btw you need to rebase your gnome-desktop changes on the current hardy version16:24
seb128__ the upload was only a shlibs update16:24
seb128__ so no conflict there, just the changelog and the .shlibs which changed16:24
seb128__bryce: ^ dunno if you got that before the disconnect16:24
bryceoh ok, I'd checked the base before I started but it must have been updated in the meantime16:24
seb128__yes, I did update yesterday to fix a bug16:25

brycephoronix test suite released (GPLv3)21:35
tormodhi there! I find it alarming how many GL screensavers are crashing nowadays, see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xscreensaver/ Of course most of them are nvidia and fglrx...21:53
tjaaltonhey, I've witnessed matrixview hanging my coworkers desktop :)21:54
tjaaltonon nvidia21:54
bryceyeah I've just triaged all the -fglrx bugs, and it seems there are a lot of DRI/DRM/GLX type of issues21:56
brycefrom the limited amount I've dug into them, I wonder if a kernel module is missing or something21:56
bryceI cut the number of -fglrx bugs in l-r-m by half :-)21:57
tormodwouldn't a missing module just disable DRI and actually avoid the crashes?21:57
brycewell you'd think so21:57
bryceI'm not really sure though - like I said I didn't dig into any of the bugs very far21:58
brycetormod: btw ati has been bugging me for our "top 5 bugs", so if you have some to suggest, I can pass them up the chain21:58
tormod(wildly guessing) could it be a compiler issue, some new defaults, broken optimizations etc?21:58
bryceI'm guessing they'll just say it's not their problem (kernel issue) or some such, but maybe then we'd have more info21:58
brycean ABI issue would be more likely I'd guess21:59
tormodati? as in Alex and Dave?21:59
bryceI don't really know enough about how the fglrx<->kernel integration is set up to say21:59
tormodor AMD?21:59
bryceah, I mean the ATI engineers inside AMD who develop fglrx22:00
tormodhard to pick the "top 5" since no reports have a useful backtrace22:01
tormodthey could have a look at my xscreensaver link above22:02
bryceyeah that's my thought too22:03
jcristauof course they don't have a useful backtrace, it's proprietary crap22:03
brycejcristau: well sometimes the surrounding X calls have some clues22:03
brycebut unfortunately most of the auto-gathered ones in launchpad don't even have that, so they're even more useless than usual ;-)22:04
Ngtjaalton: do you ever see a green console before/after suspend?22:04
tjaaltonNg: I've seen that yes22:04
Ngit started happening on mine a couple of days ago and has done on every subsequent suspend/resume (I've not rebooted yet)22:05
tjaaltonI'll check again after -13 is usable22:05
brycetormod: heh, can you see all the private crash bugs in xscreensaver?22:06
bryceyou're not kidding about there being a ton of crash bugs22:06
tormodbryce: no, ah don't tell me I just see the top of the iceberg22:06
Ngtjaalton: don't spose there's anything I can do while it's like this, is there? I really need to reboot to get an unoopsed kernel so I can get some debugging info for another bug ;/22:07
Ngtjaalton: s/do/do to debug this/, that is22:07
brycetormod: there's another 9 marked private.  I'll unprivate them22:08
tjaaltonNg: I'm not sure.. maybe -13 is better since there were some changes related to drm22:10
brycethere we go22:10
tormodthere are also some r300 and radeon crashes. Is apport working better than before?22:10
bryceI'd talked with pitti about it a couple weeks ago; apparently it had broken and stopped doing it's work correctly, but he kicked it and said it should work properly now22:11
tormodbryce: that might explain why these crashes started to flood a few days ago22:12
tormodbtw why is "cdrom" listed in NonfreeKernelModules?22:13
Ngtjaalton: ok22:13
brycetormod: heh I noticed that too.  nfi22:13
brycemaybe this has to do with it?  http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg32430.html22:15

bryceare you able to reproduce the problem?  I'd be interested to hear if setting Option "AIGLX" "off"  has any effect22:33
bryceit's weird, when I search on "[fglrx]" in xscreensaver, only 3 bugs come up22:33

bryceno, but bdmurray does22:46
tormodglplanet is also a screensaver22:46
tjaaltontormod: no I mean that according to the changelog the driver manager doesn't recommend installing fglrx anymore, if the user is running r300 or whatever the fglrx supports but also has good support in -ati&mesa22:46

tormodbryce: right! So if he doesn't follow up, who will? :)22:51
bryceprecisely22:51
brycealso I subbed ted gould who maintains xscreensaver; he should also be eyeballing this one22:52

tormodok here you are.22:53
brycetormod, I gather fglrx just gained AIGLX support in the latest version.  Maybe it's buggy?23:30
bryceI've encouraged a bunch of the -fglrx bug reporters to test turning it off.23:30
tormodwould make a lot of sense. when did the latest fglrx get in?23:31
tormodoff-topic: is the data I submit thru hwtest available on LP?23:32
