tormod | bryce, I started a little on the -ati bugs... a drop in the ocean | 00:14 |
---|---|---|
tormod | shouldn't EXA be default for radeon soon? | 00:32 |
bryce_ | yeah we need to switch over to that | 00:53 |
bryce_ | should be more stable now than it was in hardy | 00:53 |
bryce_ | btw, bdmurray says he'll wait until alpha-4 is out to do the script to request people retest against that | 00:56 |
bryce_ | since alpha-3 doesn't include the latest version of the driver | 00:56 |
tormod | down to 2 New ati bugs now... | 01:13 |
tormod | zero New ati bugs! | 01:30 |
pwnguin | does anyone have an idea how to better work with wacom on reporting bugs? | 01:37 |
pwnguin | https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=525124&aid=2030106&group_id=69596 | 01:38 |
ubottu | Sourceforge bug 2030106 "Erratic Pen movement on x41t laptop" [Pri: 5,Closed fixed] | 01:38 |
pwnguin | that one is supposedly fixed upstream | 01:39 |
pwnguin | in 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 |
tjaalton | great, bibblepro works on intrepid.. upgrade time | 06:30 |
tormod | bryce: RFC https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/ResponseRadeon | 11:11 |
pwnguin | tormod: needs more formatting ;) | 15:39 |
tormod | it's for pasting into bug reports. | 15:39 |
pwnguin | done | 15:39 |
tormod | thanks! | 15:40 |
pwnguin | well, it would be done if wiki wasnt ass slow | 15:40 |
tormod | it's done! | 15:40 |
tormod | after updating the wiki, it takes its time to mail notifications around. but the update is pretty much instantaneous | 15:41 |
pwnguin | anyways, im not a fan of canned responses | 15:41 |
tormod | pwnguin: it's better than no response... there are 170 ati bugs | 15:42 |
pwnguin | so you're going to work with all 170 reporters? | 15:42 |
pwnguin | you're a braver soul than I :) | 15:43 |
tormod | this canned response doesn't go to all 170 bugs :) | 15:49 |
tormod | but its probably usable for 20-30 of them | 15:50 |
tormod | and who said I will post it myself :) | 15:50 |
pwnguin | there's a new wacom release out | 15:53 |
pwnguin | claims 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 |
pwnguin | bonus points for answers that don't involve waiting for debian developers who are three months behind | 16:05 |
tormod | is the old version based on debian? | 16:11 |
pwnguin | sometimes | 16:11 |
pwnguin | wacom-tools in ubuntu is kinda painful | 16:12 |
pwnguin | someone ages ago decided an epoch bump was a good idea | 16:12 |
pwnguin | now the importer is broke | 16:12 |
pwnguin | meanwhile, the debian maintainer is just a bit slow on new releases | 16:12 |
pwnguin | investigating a bit, it seems the openSuse guy broke wacom for us | 16:14 |
bryce | pwnguin: 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 |
pwnguin | hey bryce | 17:48 |
bryce | heya | 17:48 |
pwnguin | im kinda confused on how to deal with wacom | 17:49 |
pwnguin | people report bugs, but upstream wants them to build the latest and join the ML and so on =/ | 17:49 |
bryce | got a pointer to the new upstream version? | 17:50 |
pwnguin | what type of pointer? | 17:50 |
bryce | url? | 17:50 |
pwnguin | http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/linuxwacom/linuxwacom-0.8.1-2.tar.bz2 | 17:50 |
pwnguin | thats the latest dev | 17:50 |
pwnguin | linuxwacom.sourceforge.net is the homepage, it's decent | 17:51 |
bryce | pwnguin: 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 package | 17:51 |
pwnguin | i do | 17:51 |
pwnguin | but im reading that it doesnt build on debian | 17:52 |
bryce | ah | 17:52 |
pwnguin | i havent tried yet, so maybe it's just forum people being forum people | 17:52 |
bryce | give it a shot, and if there's issues during build pastebin them and I'll take a look | 17:53 |
bryce | might be just dependency issues or autoconf stuff | 17:53 |
pwnguin | someone on their ml suggested that rolling back danny kukawka's patches fix things | 17:54 |
pwnguin | which is a bit aggrevating | 17:55 |
tjaalton | bah, so gnome-screensaver not starting seems to be a consolekit problem | 23:19 |
pwnguin | bugjam question: where do fglrx bugs that crash X go? | 23:36 |
jcristau | to hell | 23:39 |
pwnguin | more seriously, when they're reported against "xorg", what would be a better package | 23:41 |
pwnguin | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/156480 | 23:41 |
ubottu | Launchpad bug 156480 in xserver-xorg-driver-ati "ati-prop-driver, dualhead, X freezes" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 23:41 |
jcristau | seriously, they should go whatever provides fglrx, imo, or some other alias for /dev/null | 23:45 |
pwnguin | thats kinda the question | 23:46 |
pwnguin | what provides fglrx? | 23:46 |
jcristau | oh. no idea :) | 23:48 |
* pwnguin headdesks | 23:48 |
