tormodbryce, I started a little on the -ati bugs... a drop in the ocean00:14
tormodshouldn't EXA be default for radeon soon?00:32
bryce_yeah we need to switch over to that00:53
bryce_should be more stable now than it was in hardy00:53
bryce_btw, bdmurray says he'll wait until alpha-4 is out to do the script to request people retest against that00:56
bryce_since alpha-3 doesn't include the latest version of the driver00:56
tormoddown to 2 New ati bugs now...01:13
tormodzero New ati bugs!01:30
pwnguindoes anyone have an idea how to better work with wacom on reporting bugs?01:37
pwnguinhttps://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=525124&aid=2030106&group_id=6959601:38
ubottuSourceforge bug 2030106 "Erratic Pen movement on x41t laptop" [Pri: 5,Closed fixed] 01:38
pwnguinthat one is supposedly fixed upstream01:39
pwnguinin another report the developer said:01:39
pwnguin"It could be a mismatch between your OS and the linuxwacom version.  As a general rule of thumb, we recommend everyone upgrade to the latest linuxwacom release when there are issues with Wacom device.  If problem stays, post your questions to linuxwacom-discuss@lists.sourceforge.net before filing a bug.  This is the best (and fastest) way to get your problem resolved."01:40
tjaaltongreat, bibblepro works on intrepid.. upgrade time06:30
tormodbryce: RFC https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/ResponseRadeon11:11
pwnguintormod: needs more formatting ;)15:39
tormodit's for pasting into bug reports.15:39
pwnguindone15:39
tormodthanks!15:40
pwnguinwell, it would be done if wiki wasnt ass slow15:40
tormodit's done!15:40
tormodafter updating the wiki, it takes its time to mail notifications around. but the update is pretty much instantaneous15:41
pwnguinanyways, im not a fan of canned responses15:41
tormodpwnguin: it's better than no response... there are 170 ati bugs15:42
pwnguinso you're going to work with all 170 reporters?15:42
pwnguinyou're a braver soul than I :)15:43
tormodthis canned response doesn't go to all 170 bugs :)15:49
tormodbut its probably usable for 20-30 of them15:50
tormodand who said I will post it myself :)15:50
pwnguinthere's a new wacom release out15:53
pwnguinclaims to fix a few bugs reported it that are also in LP; how should I request a new version get brought into intrepid?15:54
pwnguinbonus points for answers that don't involve waiting for debian developers who are three months behind16:05
tormodis the old version based on debian?16:11
pwnguinsometimes16:11
pwnguinwacom-tools in ubuntu is kinda painful16:12
pwnguinsomeone ages ago decided an epoch bump was a good idea16:12
pwnguinnow the importer is broke16:12
pwnguinmeanwhile, the debian maintainer is just a bit slow on new releases16:12
pwnguininvestigating a bit, it seems the openSuse guy broke wacom for us16:14
brycepwnguin: yeah I raised the slow-wiki issue in my call with mdz a few days ago.  He's going to speak with IS about it.17:48
pwnguinhey bryce17:48
bryceheya17:48
pwnguinim kinda confused on how to deal with wacom17:49
pwnguinpeople report bugs, but upstream wants them to build the latest and join the ML and so on =/17:49
brycegot a pointer to the new upstream version?17:50
pwnguinwhat type of pointer?17:50
bryceurl?17:50
pwnguinhttp://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom/linuxwacom-0.8.1-2.tar.bz217:50
pwnguinthats the latest dev17:50
pwnguinlinuxwacom.sourceforge.net is the homepage, it's decent17:51
brycepwnguin: do you know how to build packages?  The next step if you don't want to wait for debian is to produce a new version of the package17:51
pwnguini do17:51
pwnguinbut im reading that it doesnt build on debian17:52
bryceah17:52
pwnguini havent tried yet, so maybe it's just forum people being forum people17:52
brycegive it a shot, and if there's issues during build pastebin them and I'll take a look17:53
brycemight be just dependency issues or autoconf stuff17:53
pwnguinsomeone on their ml suggested that rolling back danny kukawka's patches fix things17:54
pwnguinwhich is a bit aggrevating17:55
tjaaltonbah, so gnome-screensaver not starting seems to be a consolekit problem23:19
pwnguinbugjam question: where do fglrx bugs that crash X go?23:36
jcristauto hell23:39
pwnguinmore seriously, when they're reported against "xorg", what would be a better package23:41
pwnguinhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/15648023:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 156480 in xserver-xorg-driver-ati "ati-prop-driver, dualhead, X freezes" [Undecided,Incomplete] 23:41
jcristauseriously, they should go whatever provides fglrx, imo, or some other alias for /dev/null23:45
pwnguinthats kinda the question23:46
pwnguinwhat provides fglrx?23:46
jcristauoh. no idea :)23:48
