tjaaltonhum, something broke my mouse09:14
tjaaltonI only get events on button release09:15
tjaaltondowngrading to the released xserver-xorg-core fixed it, hmm..09:36
wgranttjaalton: Released == not your property stuff?09:47
tjaaltonwgrant: right09:48
seb128is anybody there looking at the intel bugs on launchpad?09:49
tjaaltonseb128: bryce does09:49
seb128and is there a known issue that video playing crash on intrepid and intel?09:49
seb128tjaalton: ok, I was wondering because the 75 most recents bugs in the list look like they have not been triaged09:50
tjaaltonseb128: well there are hundreds of bugs that no-one has touched yet09:50
tjaaltonbecause of lack of time09:51
seb128ok, I'll rather use IRC nagging if you guys have too many bugs ;-)09:51
tjaaltonbick buck bunny works on my i965, compiz or metacity09:51
seb128tjaalton: video playing in totem gstreamer too? using XAA or EXA?09:52
tjaaltonseb128: with totem, EXA09:52
seb128I'm wondering why that doesn't work here09:53
tjaaltoncrashes right away?09:53
mvoBadAlloc (said seb128 earlier)09:57
seb128tjaalton: no, when trying to play a video09:57
wgranttjaalton: That's interesting...09:58
wgrant(the property stuff killing things, that is)09:58
wgrantVideo works fine on i915 here, with no xorg.conf.09:58
tjaaltonseb128: ok, maybe you can try with the old patch then (01_fix_compiz_video..)09:59
tjaaltondon't remember what that was for09:59
seb128I tried to re-enable this one and 11_textured_video_option.patch10:00
tjaaltondoes it work with metacity?10:00
seb128but I get a grey screen when starting to play a video and I had to reboot the hard way10:00
seb128I'll try later, I'm running the patched intel which crashes the box right now10:00
tjaaltonok10:00
tjaaltonseb128: bug 27936314:01
ubottuLaunchpad bug 279363 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[intrepid] video freezes on Intel card with 2.6.27-5 kernel" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27936314:01
tjaaltonseb128: probably the same that you are seeing? I noticed that I had -4 running when I tested it14:01
seb128tjaalton: no, I'm still running -4 and I've this bug for some weeks for sure, I just didn't bother until now because I figured somebody would fix the issue ;-)14:02
tjaaltonseb128: ah, ok14:02
tjaaltonsigh.. wouter stomp is a bit too eager to assing bugs against xorg14:08
tjaalton-sign14:08
seb128tjaalton: "to assign bugs"14:09
seb128tjaalton: he's triaging a lot, not always assigning to the right place though14:09
tjaaltonones that didn't have a package14:09
tjaaltonbug 279525 is clearly a kernel bug14:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 279525 in xorg "liveCD install-option X bug?" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27952514:09
seb128right, he's doing that for desktop bugs too14:09
seb128you can't really blame him, not easy to get packages right sometime14:10
tjaaltonright, but he's not on irc either?14:10
seb128I didn't complain about the wrong desktop assignments because that's often nearer of the right component than having none set14:10
tjaaltonso I could educate him ;)14:10
seb128tjaalton: he's wst on #ubuntu-bugs when connected14:11
tjaaltonseb128: ok, I'll hunt him down then ;)14:11
seb128tjaalton: doesn't seem to be often though, maybe better to drop him a mail14:11
seb128brb14:12
mvoseb128: I assume your gstreamer-properties is set to "auto" for video?14:58
mvoseb128: does it help if you move oyur xorg.conf aways?14:59
seb128mvo: right, let me try, using x11 or xv makes no difference14:59
seb128and mplayer doesn't work either15:00
seb128mvo: ok, works fine now15:03
seb128my xorg.conf had         Option         "AccelMethod" "XAA"15:03
tjaaltonhah15:03
tjaalton:)15:03
seb128but that was working before15:04
mvoaha, cool15:04
tjaaltonknown to be broken with compiz15:04
tjaaltonwell, broken with textured video15:04
seb128I probably set that ages ago to workaround other issues15:04
tjaaltonbut the patch was dropped since the performance is pretty good now15:04
tjaaltonat least I could not tell the difference15:05
superm1tseliot, bryce_ : FYI this is the final 177 driver: http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_177.80.html17:20
tseliotsuperm1: I had already filed a FFE for 177.78 but I will put 177.80 instead17:23
superm1tseliot, okay good17:24
superm1tseliot, was the FFe approved already/17:24
tseliotsuperm1: no, not yet17:24
tseliothttps://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/27509817:24
superm1tseliot, oh okay.  will you be including your shim in that same upload too?17:24
ubottuLaunchpad bug 275098 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-177 "Packaging request, please upgrade to ver 177.78" [Wishlist,In progress] 17:24
tseliotsuperm1: it looks like nvidia-xconfig is not broken in 17717:25
superm1tseliot, ah okay17:25
tseliotsuperm1: as regards driver 96 and 7117:25
superm1what about 173?17:26
tseliotsuperm1: I have added a simple check to blacklist them to Jockey17:26
tseliotsuperm1: I have to check 173 yet so as to be sure17:26
superm1tseliot, ah okay.  -96 and -71 are much lower priority anyhow since they're still not updated for xorg server 1.5 anyway17:27
tseliotsuperm1: the 3 lines fix for Jockey will avoid us to drop the dependency on 96 and 71 from nvidia-common17:28
tseliotsuperm1: which we need, otherwise Update Manager won't know whether it has to migrate users to "nv" or not17:28
superm1tseliot, ah17:30
superm1<shrug>, that nv being autoselected bug is still happening17:36
* tseliot > dinner17:37
tjaaltonsuperm1: ok, so the autoconfigured driver is used after all17:50
superm1tjaalton, i've got another laptop that upload is actually making worse too17:51
superm1tjaalton, where its picking radeonhd instead of radeon, causing X to not start17:51
tjaaltonsuperm1: that's.. amazing :)17:52
superm1tjaalton, i'll get some logs on a bug about it17:52
tjaaltonsuperm1: ok, thanks. sauna ->17:52
superm1tjaalton, okay bug 279713.  17:57

bryce_morning folks18:03
=== Ng_ is now known as Ng
tjaaltonhey bryce18:27
tjaaltonsuperm1: a lazy fix would be to drop radeonhd from video-all18:27
superm1tjaalton, since when did it enter video-all in the first place?18:29
superm1last i remembered it was universe18:29
tjaaltonxorg (1:7.3+11) unstable; urgency=low18:30
tjaalton[ David Nusinow ] * Add radeonhd to the -video-all depends18:30
superm1ah at which point we pulled it into main too18:31
tjaaltonyep18:31
superm1well why is it getting chosen though in the first place, I had thought RADEON was supposed to always tack precedence when it worked for the card18:32
bryce_hrm18:33
superm1(tack==take)18:33
bryce_slangasek pulled it in (to universe afaik) the other day (post-beta)18:33
bryce_didn't realize it was in video-all; might be best to exclude it until it builds against the released libdrm, mesa, etc.18:34
superm1well it might have already done that?  its a 1.2.1-2build2 18:34
superm1so it's had two go's at rebuilding against stuff since it entered ubuntu (i'm not sure of the timeline though)18:35
superm1bryce_, well this is a different laptop than you have, but it's the same series card, so you should be seeing the same behavior on that one I believe18:35
bryce_superm1: I've just brought it up to date to latest; how do I reproduce the problem?18:36
superm1bryce_, start X with a pretty blank xorg.conf18:37
superm1bryce_, and awe at the wonder that is a black screen18:37
bryce_hmm, came up ok for me18:37
* bryce_ tries reboot18:37
bryce_nope; seems to come up and allow logging in just fine18:38
bryce_ah wait, lemme remove my xorg.conf18:39
bryce_hrm, still working fine18:40
superm1bryce_, hum well it seems for me to be sitting at detecting the modeline 18:40
superm1bryce_, followed by a warning LVTMATransmitterSet: cannot get golden settings18:41
bryce_hmm, I have universe and multiverse enabled.  dpkg -l xserver-xorg-video-hdradeon returns nothing18:41
superm1hum i see xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd sitting in main actually though18:42
superm1and its rdepends show it as part of xserver-xorg-video-all18:42
superm1is your Xorg log showing RADEON selected or RADEONHD selected then?18:43
tjaaltonsuperm1: if there are multiple matches, it takes the last one18:44
tjaaltonor was it that the list is inverse18:44
superm1tjaalton, then perhaps should the ids be rearranged so that radeonhd is only selected in cases RADEON doesn't support it (rename that file so RADEONHD comes first)18:45
tjaaltonjcristau: were you aware of this^^, radeonhd picked instead of radeon, which would mean that debian is affected as well18:45
tjaaltonsuperm1: why not just drop it from video-all, so those who insist on having radeonhd still get it loaded18:46
superm1tjaalton, that sounds like a fine solution to me 18:47
tjaaltonsuperm1: cool18:47
tjaaltonpushed18:55
tormodhi bryce20:12
bryceheya tormod20:13
brycetseliot: btw I've finished testing your g-c-c changes and am uploading them.  thanks for fixing up the g-c-c control file; looks good now20:13
tseliotbryce: thanks a lot for taking the time to review everything and to upload the packages20:15
brycetseliot: I'm curious though if the version should be set for libgnome-desktop-2-7, rather than libgnome-desktop-dev; I'm a bit confused by that20:15
tormodbryce, you made some comments in a xscreensaver merge bug which I was not sure if you posted to the wrong bug. now I can't find the bug :)20:16
brycetormod: hmm, sounds like me20:16
tormodwhy is there no "latest bug activity" on the package page?20:17
tormodthere is on on the project pages...20:17
tormod*one20:17
bryceyeah I know...20:18
tseliotbryce: isn't gnome_rr_config.c in libgnome-desktop-2-7?20:18
tseliotand the header20:18
bryceI would think the header would be in the -dev package?20:19
brycebut I may just not know enough about gnome packaging20:19
tseliotlet me check20:19
tormodbryce, you closed bug #262422, no wonder I couldn't find it :)20:20
ubottuLaunchpad bug 262422 in xscreensaver "xscreensaver 5.07 feature freeze exception" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/26242220:20
tseliotbryce: either way, setting the build-dep to libgnome-desktop-dev will pull libgnome-desktop-2-7 too20:22
brycetseliot: right20:23
brycetseliot: should I make that one change?20:24
tseliotbryce: yes, please20:24
bryceok will do20:28
tormodbryce, I think you closed that bug by mistake?20:46
* bryce looks20:46
brycehrm, no I did upload that.  Maybe there was a problem with the upload20:47
brycetormod: I'll investigate after finishing with g-c-c20:47
tormodthanks20:47
tormoddid you notice bug #278471, XRRGetScreenResources again I guess20:48
ubottuLaunchpad bug 278471 in meta-kde "Screen flickers with KDE4" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27847120:48
brycetseliot: ok all uploaded.  Please could you update and doublecheck everything's working as it should?20:51
tseliotbryce: do you refer to compilation or to the functioning of the program?20:53
brycefunctioning20:54
bryceif it isn't compiling, it won't get into the archive.  But I'll get an email, so I'll keep an eye out for that.20:54
tseliotbryce: ok, I'll do it as soon as the update shows up here20:54
tseliotthanks again20:54
brycetseliot: hmm error with the s-r-e package20:59
bryceRejected:20:59
brycescreen-resolution-extra_0.3.dsc: Component 'utils' is not valid20:59
brycescreen-resolution-extra_0.3.tar.gz: Component 'utils' is not valid20:59
bryceFurther error processing not possible because of a critical previous error.20:59
brycethe other two seem to have gone through tho21:00
tseliotbryce: ok, we were worried about the wrong package then. Can I see the log?21:00
brycethat's pretty much all I got back21:01
brycetormod: weird, I have a .upload for xscreensaver saying it successfully uploaded it to rookery, but no sign of an Accept or Reject in my mail box21:05
brycewonder if those emails go to the sponsoree?21:05
bryceit built ok on my box.  hmm21:07
seb128usually those are incorrectly signed issues21:08
bryceI'll try resigning and reuploading then21:11
tormodbryce: which exactly are these packages? from ted's ppa?21:12
bryceyeah21:12
tormodok21:12
tseliotbryce: aah, I replaced contrib with utils. Setting Section to x11 only (i.e. "Section: x11") should solve the problem21:14
brycehuh, I see what happened, it went to my testing site rather than to upload.ubuntu.com21:14
bryceI must have typo'ed ubuntu or something21:14
brycetseliot: ok, will do21:14
tseliotbryce: I have also put the fix in my branch: https://code.launchpad.net/~albertomilone/screen-resolution-extra/main21:18
bryceok; I've re-uploaded s-r-e21:19
bryceand archive seems to have taken it21:19
bryceer wait21:19
brycetormod: archive has taken xscreensaver21:19
brycestill waiting for response on s-r-e21:20
jcristautjaalton: i guess i could kill radeonhd.ids, so you'd have to add it to xorg.conf21:26
brycetseliot: ok, s-r-e is accepted.  hopefully you can update to them now21:30
brycenot sure how long the build daemons require21:31
tseliotbryce: ok, I'll test them as soon as they are available21:31
tormodbryce: cool, thanks21:36
tjaaltonjcristau: I dropped it from video-all already, so that's enough for intrepid21:39
superm1tjaalton, and what about the nvidia thing?  You said autoconfigured driver was "Used after all"?  isn't the issue that the wrong autoconfigured driver was picked?22:15
tjaaltonsuperm1: there are two methods22:17
tjaaltonand the wrong one was used there, for whatever the reaseon22:17
