| tjaalton | joysticks didn't "just work" before, since the driver is not installed by default, and it needed special attention to xorg.conf.. | 07:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Ng | tjaalton: sooo, got the new motherboard. today's daily live CD boots up, but I'm not seeing any X love ;) | 12:27 |
| Ng | the live cd is a bit useless for debugging though, so I'm gonna dist-upgrade the hardy install so I can at least ssh in and have persistent logs and stuff | 12:31 |
| Ng | hmm | 14:34 |
| Ng | it kinda works a bit | 14:35 |
| Ng | but it seems rather fragile | 14:35 |
| Ng | and when X does start, I'm getting no input from my usb kb/mouse | 14:43 |
| * Ng hmms | 14:43 | |
| Ng | X clearly hasn't crashed though, I can see the cursor blinking in the gdm username box, and numlock works | 14:43 |
| Ng | gar, why isn't sshd running | 14:45 |
| Ng | maybe this is bug 254840, but xserver-xorg-input-all is installed | 14:47 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 254840 in xorg-server "[intrepid] mouse and keyboard stop working under gdm and gnome" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/254840 | 14:47 |
| Ng | oh, haha, it's something to do with booting into recovery and starting gdm directly. normal boot seems to make input work \o/ | 14:49 |
| jcristau | hal not started, then? | 14:49 |
| Ng | probably something like that, yeah ;) | 14:49 |
| Ng | ok, next up, no Xv | 14:50 |
| jcristau | X gets the list of input devices from hal, so if that's not running you lose | 14:50 |
| jcristau | Ng: chipset is intel g4x? | 14:50 |
| Ng | yep, brand new board, G45, so X4000HD | 14:50 |
| jcristau | ok, so no xv is a bug in an ubuntu patch for xserver-xorg-video-intel | 14:50 |
| Ng | I wasn't at all expecting this to be easy/smooth, and I'm very happy to work through these issues :) | 14:51 |
| jcristau | it disables the textured video adapter by default | 14:51 |
| Ng | aha | 14:51 |
| jcristau | which is kind of a bad idea when there's no other adapter | 14:51 |
| Ng | yes :) | 14:51 |
| Ng | is that something I can re-enable by config, or do I need to wait for an updated package? | 14:51 |
| jcristau | Option "TexturedVideo" iirc | 14:52 |
| jcristau | in the device section | 14:52 |
| Ng | hmm, that means I have to make an xorg.conf! ;) | 14:52 |
| jcristau | printf 'Section "Device"\n\tOption "TexturedVideo"\nEndSection\n' > /etc/X11/xorg.conf should be all you need | 14:53 |
| Ng | ok | 14:53 |
| Ng | also, for some reason the display is dropping out every 30s or so | 14:54 |
| Ng | I'll check the DVI connection and stuff, probably need to duck out for a few hours, but then I'll be back on this :) | 14:54 |
| Ng | jcristau: thanks, btw :) | 14:57 |
| jcristau | np | 14:59 |
| * Ng boggles, something isn't working now, X isn't coming up at all | 20:30 | |
| Ng | jcristau: is there some way I can dial up the debugging on what the driver is doing? | 20:34 |
| Ng | the Xorg.0.log looks fine, but my TV is showing nothing :/ | 20:34 |
| Ng | I did poke the bios settings to give it 128MB of shared RAM, maybe that was a mistake | 20:35 |
| pwnguin | anyone feel like helping dig out a stupid xorg crasher? | 21:52 |
| pwnguin | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wacom-tools/+bug/259035 | 21:53 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 259035 in wacom-tools "Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in DeleteInputDeviceRequest() (wacom)" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 21:53 |
| * Ng tries git drm and intel | 23:56 | |
| Ng | hmm, that's not working particularly well, but I don't know much about how this works without gem (which I assume isn't available in intrepid) | 23:59 |
