| johanbr | bryce: About the Radeon lockup I asked you about a few days ago, there's a bug filed now (bug #234811). Hardy locks up completely when running 1440x900. Gutsy works fine. | 19:06 |

| bryce | johanbr: ok thanks, looking | 19:17 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: the drivers are ready however I would like to know which versioning scheme we should adopt. For example shall we put something like this in the changelog? nvidia-graphics-drivers-2.6.24 (2.6.24.500-500.30) intrepid; urgency=low | 19:23 |
| tseliot | I have adopted Debian's name schemes | 19:25 |
| tjaalton | tseliot: no need for the kernel version being there.. | 19:33 |
| tjaalton | better use the nvidia versions like debian | 19:34 |
| johanbr | bryce: Is it really possible to do anything (apart from maybe SysReq traces) when the machine locks up completely? | 19:38 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: one of the packages will be named nvidia-glx and should replace nvidia-glx-new. We have to make sure that we don't break dist-upgrades from Hardy to Intrepid therefore | 19:43 |
| tseliot | we should be careful about the version and about the control file | 19:44 |
| tseliot | maybe adding something like this to nvidia-glx would solve part of the problem: | 19:45 |
| tjaalton | tseliot: of course, but the version number is irrelevant if it Replaces another package | 19:45 |
| tseliot | Conflicts: nvidia-glx-src, nvidia-xconfig, nvidia-glx | 19:45 |
| tseliot | Replaces: nvidia-glx-src, nvidia-glx (<< 170.12+2.6.24.500-500.24) | 19:45 |
| tseliot | Provides: nvidia-glx, xserver-xorg-video-2 | 19:45 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: yes, of course | 19:45 |
| === federico3 is now known as f_shower | ||
| tseliot | tjaalton: this wouldn't automatically replace nvidia-glx-new with nvidia-glx in case of upgrade though | 19:47 |
| tjaalton | missing -new | 19:48 |
| tjaalton | oh | 19:49 |
| tjaalton | I thought it would make sense to rename current nvidia-glx as -legacy-96xx like in debian | 19:49 |
| tseliot | and I did it. I'm talking about nvidia-glx-new | 19:50 |
| tseliot | all the three flavours provide nvidia-glx | 19:50 |
| tseliot | maybe this is confusing you? | 19:50 |
| tjaalton | why?-) | 19:50 |
| tjaalton | why do they provide nvidia-glx | 19:51 |
| tseliot | so that they conflict with each other | 19:51 |
| tjaalton | and it should replace nvidia-glx-new, not nvidia-glx | 19:51 |
| tseliot | nvidia-glx-new becomes nvidia-glx | 19:51 |
| tseliot | nvidia-glx becomes nvidia-glx-legacy-96xx | 19:51 |
| tjaalton | right | 19:52 |
| tseliot | nvidia-glx-legacy becomes nvidia-glx-legacy-71xx | 19:52 |
| tjaalton | but the lines from control are wrong | 19:52 |
| tseliot | those lines, which I haven't changed yet, belong to what used to be the nvidia-glx-new-envy package | 19:53 |
| tseliot | any suggestions for the new control file? | 19:53 |
| tjaalton | make it ready first and I'll review it then | 19:54 |

| bryce | johanbr: yeah ssh in from another box and attach to the process | 20:47 |
| bryce | johanbr: see wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing for directions | 20:47 |
| johanbr | bryce: The network dies too. | 20:50 |
| bryce | hmm, then the issue may be in the kernel | 20:51 |
| johanbr | An all-Gutsy installation works, but Hardy with the Gutsy kernel hangs, so it doesn't appear to be in the kernel. | 20:52 |
| bryce | in any case, without a backtrace there is not more troubleshooting that can be done on it | 20:53 |
| bryce | make sure you're using a wired connection | 20:54 |
| johanbr | Is there a way of installing the Gutsy version of the radeon driver on Hardy, or has the X server changed too much? | 20:55 |
| bryce | well, you could apt-get the source and rebuild it against your xserver. It ought to work ok I should think. | 20:57 |
| johanbr | Alright, I'll walk him through that and we'll see what happens. Thanks for the help. | 20:57 |
| bryce | sure, good luck | 20:57 |
| bryce | mesa 7.1 rc1 was announced :-) | 21:11 |
| tjaalton | yep, finally :) | 21:18 |
| bryce | tjaalton: have you ever tried device Option "DRI2" ? | 21:24 |
| tjaalton | bryce: no.. haven't built snapshots in a while | 21:28 |
| tjaalton | seems that DRI2 is not happening until the TTM/GEM mess is settled | 22:04 |
| bryce | :-/ | 22:04 |
| bryce | I was afraid of that | 22:04 |
| kushal1 | jedimind, looking back, I don't know what I was thinking trying to add everything by hand. I cannot even believe I added over 60 of those by hand. I wish I could drag and drop using default settings | 22:24 |
| kushal1 | Hello, I am making a home DVD with about 200 short clips using Devede. I have already added about 60 files one at a time but my hand is starting to hurt. It is also really boring. Is there a way for me to add a bunch of mpg files on to the devede list like a batch or drag and drop? please let me know. thanks (please answer) | 22:37 |
| bryce | kushal1: I think you may be asking on the wrong channel | 22:38 |
| bryce | kushal1: this channel is only for discussing X11 | 22:38 |
| kushal1 | sorry, bryce | 22:44 |
