superm1yeah i'm aware of that config file thing.  i asked amd to not keep anything in /etc that's not a config file, but i might just add a mv_conffile clause to the postinst if i dont get a timely reply from them (which i dont expect)01:34
brycesuperm1: yeah I think that's a good idea01:36
wgrantHrm, I can't rebuild xserver due to the new linux-libc-dev having /usr/include/drm/drm.h, which libdrm-dev also has.05:26
tjaaltonwgrant: which version? mine doesn't have it05:59
tjaaltonmorning btw05:59
wgranttjaalton: linux-libc-dev 2.6.28-3.405:59
wgrantI downgraded to -2.3 and it works fine.06:00
wgrant(I'm applying the patch to stop xserver segfaulting with -intel, which caused me some annoyance this morning, and it making apt unhappy)06:00

wgranttjaalton: Ergh, sorry, I meant to move that bug hours ago but got distracted.06:09
tjaaltonwgrant: np06:11
tjaaltonhi bryce06:11
tjaaltonso the intel crash is fixed, but the kernel change means that anything that requires the drm headers fail to build06:12
wgrantIs the intel crash fixed?06:12
tjaaltonupstrea06:13
tjaaltonm06:13
wgrantAh, yes.06:14
wgrantServer 1.6 has the new pointer acceleration algorithm, doesn't it?08:18
wgrantI'm trying to get -synaptics 0.99.3 working reasonably.08:19
tjaaltonwgrant: yes it does08:20
wgrant-synaptics upstream has very strange defaults :(08:21
wgrantNo tap-to-click if you have buttons, for example.08:21
tjaaltonbryce: I'll try to fix vmmouse now, and see if it could be pushed upstream then08:42
brycetjaalton: ok08:48
tjaaltonbryce: I think we should get rid of a couple of packages, like x-x-v-tga and -vga09:32
tjaaltontga is usable only on alpha, and -vga is otherwise useless since we have vesa for x8609:33
tjaaltonboth are already in universe09:33
tjaaltonand have no bugs, ie. no one using them :)09:34

tjaaltonnvidia 180 seems to work but only with -ignoreABI11:08
tseliottjaalton: did you try the other flavours too?11:13
tjaaltontseliot: nope11:14
tseliottjaalton: in any case I'll have to try the drivers with the new X and (if they work) rebuild the packages11:15
tjaaltontseliot: can you force the ignoreABI in the drivers somehow?11:15
tseliottjaalton: I guess not. It's something you can force in the xorg.conf11:16
tjaaltonok11:17
mvohey tseliot! I was looking into the gnome-desktop update today and debian/patches/100_load_desired_settings.patch would need porting to the new 2.25.x code - could you please have a look? Is that somethign that can/should go upstream ?11:39
tjaaltontseliot: there's bug 308410 now.. where should the drivers be disabled, jockey?12:17

tjaaltonoh, you owned that already12:18
tseliottjaalton: I would like to install Jaunty and see how it goes here before I blacklist the driver12:18
tjaaltonbut it won't work anyway unless you force the option somewhere12:19
tseliotI'll see what I can do12:20
* tseliot > lunch12:29
seb128tseliot: any news about the patch update?12:33
tjaalton177 segfaults12:33
seb128tseliot: hello13:22
tseliotseb128: I have to patch and test a package in intrepid but after that I'll work on your patch (I guess today)13:22
seb128tseliot: ok, I'm going to drop the patch for now, it's blocking the whole GNOME for 2 weeks now13:22
seb128tseliot: I really want to get moving on those updates before holidays13:23
tseliotseb128: ok, no problem13:23
tseliotseb128: I'll let you know when the patch is ready so that we can re-include it13:26
seb128tseliot: ok thanks13:26
seb128tseliot: where are the specific api used?13:37
seb128ubuntu_gnome_rr_config_save_desired is used in g-c-c apparently but not g-s-d is that expected?13:37
tseliotseb128: g-s-d uses libgnome-desktop13:39
seb128tseliot: right, but none of those new api you added right?13:40
tseliottherefore I didn't touch g-s-d directly13:40
seb128ok13:40
mvohm, this sounds like we should add a stub for now or wait until the patch is done13:41
tseliotseb128: does this reply to your question?13:41
seb128I hate distro changes13:41
tseliotseb128: and so do I ;)13:41
crevetteseb128, I have 3 days of starting tomorrow, so I can manage to help a little at least13:41
crevette+ff13:41
crevetteoff13:41
seb128crevette: good thanks13:41
seb128tseliot: could you look to this patch update before the intrepid changes? there is probably no hurry for intrepid but we are blocking jaunty updates on this update now13:42
seb128I would say unblocking jaunty is higher priority than intrepid13:42
tseliotseb128: ok, I'll do it now13:43
seb128thanks13:43
tseliotseb128: did you put your source somewhere?13:43
tseliotthe new control-center which doesn't build, I mean13:43
tseliotand the new libgnome-desktop13:44
seb128mvo has the new g-c-c13:44
mvotseliot: new gnome-contorl-center is ported and in bzr13:44
mvotseliot: that should fine13:44
seb128tseliot: http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/gnome-desktop_2.25.3-0ubuntu1.diff.gz http://people.ubuntu.com/~seb128/gnome-desktop_2.25.3-0ubuntu1.dsc http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-desktop/2.25/gnome-desktop-2.25.3.tar.gz13:45
mvomaybe we should put gnome-desktop into bzr too? so that we can easily work on it together?13:45
tseliotmvo: yes, please13:45
* mvo waits for a yes/no from seb128 first13:45
seb128mvo: go for it13:45
seb128mvo: let me now if you put the current jaunty version and if I should push my changes or if you want to put directly my version there13:46
mvoseb128: I will put your version there I think13:47
seb128mvo: ok cool13:47
mvoseb128: you are on VAC ;) so I can do it, no problem 13:47
seb128hehe, that's true13:47
mvotseliot: bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/gnome-control-center/ubuntu ; cd ubuntu; bzr-buildpackage should give you the g-c-c bits13:48
tseliotmvo: ok, good. I think I have all I need now13:48
* tseliot gets the source from bzr13:49
mvohttps://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/gnome-desktop/ubuntu13:58
tseliotmvo: ok, thanks13:59
mvocheers, thanks for working on the patch update!14:00
mvotseliot: hm, while g-c-c applies all patches the changes do not compile anymore, I'm having a look now (somewhere in the xrandr capplet) but will not have that much time unfortunately for it today)14:26
tseliotmvo: libgnome-desktop is the problem14:27
tseliotmvo: I'm working on it anyway14:27
seb128mvo: that's because it requires the patch I commented in the gnome-desktop update14:28
seb128mvo: or g-c-c requires upstream changes due to the new gnome-desktop api breakage14:29
mvosome it it is api changes (_rr_screen_new() needs e.g. a GError now etc)14:33
mvosome of it is the libgnome-desktop14:33
mvoI commit what I have14:33
seb128mvo: look to the svn it's likely they updated the capplet there too14:34
seb128I guess they will roll a new tarball soon14:34
mvothe changes required are trivial, but the fact that the file xrandr-capplet.c is touch in a bunch of different patches makes it not easy for me to see where it should be applied14:38
mvo(well, the api changes, not the changes to make libgnome-desktop work :)14:38
mvotseliot: I fixed one of my mistakes in 80_apect_in_dropdown.patch in g-c-c (just FYI and to avoid duplication of work). still some smallish ones left, that seems to be just additions of a GError as last parameter15:31
* mvo -> break15:31
tseliotmvo: I'm still on the gnome-desktop part15:33
tseliotbut thanks for letting me know15:33
tseliotmvo, seb128: libgnome-desktop builds again (in pbuilder) \o/15:42
=== crevette_ is now known as crevette
seb128tseliot: excellent ;-)15:46
seb128tseliot: the change is ready to be used or do you want to do extra testing before?15:47
tseliotseb128: builds != works15:47
seb128ok15:47
tseliotI built it in pbuilder only. I have to install Jaunty to make sure that15:47
tseliotit works15:47
tseliots/I have/I want/15:48
seb128do you have the updated patch somewhere?15:49
tseliotseb128: I can upload it to my website if you want15:49
tseliotseb128, mvo: http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/gnome/jaunty/100_load_desired_settings.patch15:53
seb128tseliot: thanks15:55
tseliotseb128: I'll install Jaunty anyway since I'm really not confident with patches I didn't test myself (at runtime)15:56
seb128ok, let me know, I'll probably delay the upload until tomorrow now, it's getting late for a round of upload, newing, transition etc today15:57
tseliotseb128: sure15:57
mvotseliot: thanks, I check it out, feel free to upload it in bzr (but I'm fne with getting it from the website)17:09
tseliotmvo: I'm upgrading to Jaunty so as to try it at runtime. Then I'll put it in my bzr branch17:10
brycetjaalton: removing packages - sounds good17:40
tseliotbryce: is it a known bug the fact that the intel driver segfaults on jaunty? (xf86setcrtcconfig() or something similar)17:53
brycetseliot: which graphics chip?17:55
brycetseliot: it worked ok when I tested it prior to UDS, but didn't retest it yesterday.  I'll upgrade now and see17:56
tjaaltonyes it's known, and fix released already, but xorg-server doesn't build because of the libdrm/linux-libc-dev deathmatch17:56
bryceah ok17:56
tseliotok17:56
tseliotthe pci-id is 8086:27a2 anyway17:57
bryceah ok 96517:57
tjaaltonbryce: could you confirm the removal bugs and subscribe ubuntu-archive?18:06
tjaaltonI've requested -openchrome to be synced from experimental, there should be no changes left18:06
tjaaltonthat version merged the randr-branch, so a lot of the old bugs should get closed with it18:07
tjaalton(and new ones pop up, of course..)18:07
tseliotmvo: did you notice the compilation errors in xrandr-capplet.c? They don't depend on what I did. It looks like the author updated the function prototypes but the actual functions don't reflect these changes (e.g. line 1778). Shall I fix these bugs too?18:10
mvotseliot: that are probably the ones I ran into as well, it looks like its just the new GError argument18:11
tseliotmvo: right18:11
tseliotmvo: what do you suggest that I do?18:11
mvotseliot: feel free to fix, otherwise I have a go on it (seb mentioned there might be already fixes in svn for it, but its probably easy enough)18:11
mvo(easy enough == famous last words ;)18:12
tseliotmvo: ok, I'll make (yet) another patch. It should be easy to do18:12
tjaaltonbryce: btw, I tried to fix vmmouse, and just copying xf86OSmouse.h from -mouse makes it get forward, but fails building libvmmouse.la. probably something easy but didn't get to it yet18:13
bryceremoval bugs confirmed and u-a subbed18:19
tjaaltoncool, thanks18:21
bryceyesterday I banged xkeyboard-config down from 117 to 73 bugs :-)18:21
tseliot\o/18:22
tjaaltonooh :)18:22
bryceand went through all the ones related to hotkeys and gave troubleshooting advice18:22
brycethere's one keyboard bug that's got a ton of dupes.  I don't understand what's going on but I marked it confirmed.  It's been going on a while and seems to be some weird mis-interaction between the installer, x, and g-c-c18:23
brycekeyboard layouts seem to get forgotten or set up wrong during upgrades18:23
bryceanyway, probably something we should look into for jaunty.  I marked it critical for now.18:23
brycetjaalton: oh also might want to look at 308649 for xserver (patch was attached)18:26
tjaaltonbryce: yeah18:28
tjaaltonpushed18:30
tjaalton(not released yet if there are other fixed to include)18:33
brycetjaalton: did you want me to look into the vmmouse issue?18:47
bryceI also still need to update my signal patch, hopefully I can get to that today18:48
tjaaltonbryce: well, if you could that would be nice. probably something really simple18:48
tseliotmvo: did you upload the fix for the dropdown patch to the bzr branch?18:56
mvotseliot: hm, should be. let me check18:59
mvotseliot: rev36 should have it18:59
tseliotok19:00
* tseliot > dinner19:00
tjaaltonheh, alexia death seems to have figured out a way to fix wacom hotplug.. by using dbus20:53
tjaaltona set of dbus-send commands to add the devices20:53
bryceinteresting20:56
brycewould it solve it for us?20:56
brycetjaalton: btw I filed some sync req's for video drivers with a build number and new version in experimental20:57
bryce(listed at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/PackageNotes)20:57
tjaaltonthe driver would need to do that by itself, but we'll see what upstream thinks about it21:00
bryceok21:06
brycetjaalton: btw freeze immanent21:06
tjaaltonI've requested openchrome to be synced, so changed the merge to a sync on that page21:07
bryceok great21:07
tjaaltonand voodoo in experimental is just a rebuilt version, no point in merging that21:07
tjaaltonfreeze.. great21:08
tjaaltonbryce: hmm, what change does r128 have, or is the comment just an oversight :)21:36
brycetjaalton: hmm?21:37
tjaaltonthe PackageNotes page21:38
bryceah could be old info21:38
bryceotherwise, just an oversight21:39
tjaaltonheh, ok I'll remove that then.. could be mine too21:39
brycebtw, I'm preparing an email for amd and nvidia to summarize UDS decisions; could you review for me?  -- http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/86556/21:40
tjaaltonsure. libdrm is already 2.4.1, and 2.4.2 should be out soonish21:41
bryceany chance of 2.5.x?21:42
tjaaltonalpha2 has a prerelease of randr-1.3, so it doesn't support all the features yet21:42
tjaaltonI've no idea of libdrm versioning.. but they shouldn't care about libdrm anyway21:42
bryceok, I'll list it as alpha321:42
tjaaltonyes21:43
tseliotthe RandR capplet works again (after 3 patches), yay!22:09
tjaaltontseliot: great :)23:07
tjaaltonbryce: seems that hal 0.5.12-rc1 already has the patch to list joysticks having input.joystick capability23:07
tjaaltonor maybe not, but my joystick does list that now23:19
