brycexorg --------------> 18    DONE00:44
brycetjaalton: for maybe the first time, the xorg package has mostly only bugs that are relevant to it :-)00:45
bryceplus three that don't have enough info so it's not sure where to file them00:45
brycetjaalton: could you add a section to X/GitUsage explaining how to add a new package to git control?  E.g., xserver-xorg-video-ati01:24
=== pwnguin_ is now known as jldugger
tjaaltonbryce: wow!06:07
tjaaltonbryce: sure, I'll look at it later today06:07
tjaaltonit's basically just 'git checkout -b ubuntu' while you're on the branch that you want to branch from06:08
tjaaltonand then 'git push origin ubuntu' to push it the first time06:08
jcristaubryce: i have no clue about the radeon driver08:07
btQuarkthere's something i always wonder about12:31
btQuarkhow can one construct such utter bullcrap as the fglrx driver12:32
btQuarkand why can nvidia construct something that is stable and equipped with a nice user interface and good functionality12:33
btQuarki've just tried the newest fglrx straight from the amd website and it is plain offensive12:33
btQuarkan insult12:33
btQuarki mean, at least it does not crash after seconds12:36
btQuarkit just crashes after i move a window with video content - but it had Xv and i was not in need to switch to X11 rendering with my Workstation Graphics board as needed before12:37
btQuarkand they're still not able to the least to make their own powerplay work on linux12:38
btQuarkthe opensource driver does a better job - i actually felt the graphics chip being grilled although not used12:38
btQuarkand they dont even seem to have heard the word posix12:39
btQuarkif the ati/radeon driver would only have dri2 and some more speed optimizations12:39
btQuarkit would be perfect12:39
btQuarkmaybe some more optimizations in for the powerplay12:39
superm1tseliot, are all of your changes in the latest gcc upload, or did seb128 need to merge in a few more?17:01
seb128what changes?17:01
superm1tseliot said that there were a few updated patched for the gnome display tool that he sent to you to put in17:02
superm1i was going to update my vendor fallback patch after they were in the archive17:02
seb128I did upload 2.25.90 with his patches yesterday17:02
seb128go for it17:02
superm1okay great thanks17:02
tseliotright17:03
brycemorning17:05
superm1g'mornin17:06
tseliotmorning17:08
seb128superm1: btw did you get that patch discussed or review by somebody?17:33
superm1seb128, me and tseliot talked about it 17:33
seb128superm1: and when you open a bug upstream this way it would be nice to tag the patch, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PatchTaggingGuidelines17:33
superm1seb128, ah was not aware of these guidelines.  i'll make those changes in bzr then (but won't bother with uploading to the archive again with just commented changes like that)17:34
seb128I've no strong opinion on the change but it would be nice to get somebody in the desktop team to approve your change before uploading desktop components17:34
seb128thanks!17:34
* NCommander shines the bryce light into the midnight sky17:45
bryceyep?17:45
* NCommander hopes you can help w/ an evdev issue17:45
NCommanderbryce, I'm playing with some ARM hardware with a working touchscreen, but the touchscreen is inverted. I tried the inverted options in xorg.conf, but they dn't seem to work17:45
NCommanderany ideas17:45
bryceNCommander: not offhand; ogra may know, he's the master of touch devices17:48
NCommanderbryce, he sent me to you.17:48
brycetell me more about what you've already tried17:49
NCommanderInvertX/InvertY17:49
NCommanderWhich didn't seem to work17:49
brycedid you file a bug report?17:50
NCommanderbryce, well, it might be user error, w.r.t to syntax and such, I was hoping if you would know18:02
mahfiaz1is there good how-to on adding synaptic device to xserver?18:04
bryceNCommander: that's possible; I've never had a touchscreen to experiment with so am unfamiliar with the syntax myself18:06
NCommanderRight, that's my problem.18:06
tjaaltonbryce: I edited the GitUsage page a bit, 'Basic Tutorial' now mentions that pull/checkout is how you also create the ubuntu branch18:07
brycetjaalton: ok, I have a couple evdev revs to commit, but git is not working for me at the moment18:09
bryce$ git push origin ubuntu18:09
brycefatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly18:09
tjaaltonyou mean the ones that were uploaded already?18:10
bryce*ubuntu2 was uploaded already, *ubuntu3 is still in process here18:12
bryceI'm having bug 328127 currently, which may be why git is broken18:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 328127 in gnome-keyring "gnome-keyring-daemon returns Agent admitted failure to sign using the key." [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/32812718:12
tjaaltonok, ubuntu2 is missing from git18:13
bryceright, I'm just saying I'll get it in as soon as I sort out my git breakage :-)18:13
tjaaltonheh, figured as much :)18:13
tjaaltonI'll upgrade to see if I have the same problem18:15
brycethe `unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK` workaround doesn't seem to solve it btw18:15
tjaaltonwhat do you have as the origin url in .git/config18:16
tjaaltonI suspect the docs need an update :)18:16
bryce[remote "origin"]18:17
bryceurl = git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev18:17
brycefetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*18:17
tjaaltonbingo18:17
tjaaltonI have 'url = ssh+git://tjaalton-guest@alioth.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/x-x-i-e18:17
bryceyeah I was just following the directions in the docs to get to this point18:17
tjaaltonso if you clone like in the docs -> fail18:17
tjaaltonoh wait, the docs are right :)18:18
tjaaltonthe wikipage I mean18:18
brycewell the docs are for xorg/xserver, so for -evdev I started from the git URL printed out when I did an apt-get source18:18
tjaaltonyou can change it directly in .git/config and it should work18:18
tjaaltonright18:19
bryceoh oops, already rm -rf'd the tree18:19
tjaaltonhehe18:19
bryce$ git clone git clone ssh://user-guest@alioth.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/debian/xserver-xorg-input-evdev18:19

brycefatal: no matching remote head18:19
brycehrm18:20
tjaaltonyou need to change the $user18:20
brycedah, right18:20
brycehrm, still getting the same thing18:20
brycegit makes me feel like such an idiot ;-)18:21
bryceis 'pkg-xorg' right in the url?18:21
tjaaltonno18:21
tjaaltonsorry, yes18:21
brycehrm18:21
tjaaltonbut s/debian/driver/18:21
bryceok... is my username 'bryce'?18:21
bryceyep18:22
tjaaltoncheck the config from your xorg-server?18:22
bryce$ git clone git clone ssh://bryce-guest@alioth.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/debian/xserver-xorg-driver-evdev18:23
bryceInitialized empty Git repository in /home/bryce/src/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/git/.git/18:23
brycefatal: no matching remote head18:23
tjaalton20:21 < tjaalton> but s/debian/driver/18:23
tjaalton:)18:23
brycewhat is the standard way for determining the url for a given package?18:23
brycesame thing18:23
tjaaltonfrom the frontpage of git.d.o maybe18:23
tjaaltonappend '.git'?18:24
bryceok, I think I looked for xkeyboard-config there yesterday but didn't see it18:24
brycenope18:24
tjaaltonit's called -input-evdev btw :)18:25
bryceaha got it18:25
brycegit clone git+ssh://bryce-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev18:26
bryceneeded the +ssh (and maybe s/alioth/git/)18:26
tjaaltonI used the one you pasted earlier and just changed s/driver/input/18:27
tjaaltonxkeyboard-config is pkg-xorg/data/xkb-data18:27
bryceaha18:28
bryceyeah, would be too consistent for it to be named xkeyboard-config ;-)18:28
tjaaltonype18:28
tjaaltonyep18:29
brycetjaalton: committed and pushed18:45
brycetjaalton: mind verifying it pushed right?18:45
tjaaltonbryce: sure :)18:48
brycepushed one more small typo fix18:49
tjaaltonbryce: evdev?18:49
tjaaltonreboot, brb18:51
mahfiaz1is there any trick to get external monitor to work on T61 with nvidia (Quadro NVS 140M)?18:57
brycemahfiaz1: nvidia-config ?19:01
tjaaltonbryce: I can't see any changes in evdev.git19:03
mahfiaz1bryce, I tried it, but it ends up in loop of X restarts, it seems like there is some problem like it cannot initialize after some change of settings, things start to work after restart. I will give it some more try19:05
brycetjaalton: hrm19:10
bryce$ git push origin ubuntu19:10
bryceAgent admitted failure to sign using the key.19:10
brycePassword: 19:10
bryceerror: src refspec ubuntu does not match any.19:10
brycefatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly19:10
bryceerror: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://bryce-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev'19:10
tjaaltonbryce: probably still something wrong in your .git/config then19:11
bryce[remote "origin"]19:11
bryce        url = git+ssh://bryce-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev19:11
bryce        fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*19:11
tjaaltonlooks correct19:12
bryce*sigh*19:12
tjaaltonmaybe the agent error is messing things up19:12
bryceyeah could be19:12
tjaaltondunno19:12
tjaaltonright19:12
tjaaltonbecause you don't actually have a password on alioth19:13
tjaaltonthis relies on key-authentication19:13
bryceafter doing the `unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK` workaround, I try:19:14
bryce$ git push origin ubuntu19:14
bryceerror: src refspec ubuntu does not match any.19:14
brycefatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly19:14
bryceerror: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://bryce-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev'19:14
bryce$ git push19:15
bryceEverything up-to-date19:15
tjaaltonyou have a local branch called 'ubuntu'?19:18
tjaalton'git status'?19:19
tjaaltoncan you login to git.debian.org?19:21
bryce$ git status19:25
bryce# Not currently on any branch.19:25
brycenothing to commit (working directory clean)19:25
bryceand no, I cannot log into git.debian.org19:25
=== mahfiaz1 is now known as mahfiaz
tjaaltonyou need to 'git checkout -b ubuntu origin/ubuntu' first..19:28
tjaaltonto create the local branch19:28
tjaaltonmentioned on wiki, then you can start committing stuff19:29
bryceyes, I did that...  it shows your -1ubuntu1 commit in debian/changelog19:29
brycethe last git log message before I added mine was:19:30
brycecommit 56826701ad181dba4fdacc157ca53454ed12f20b19:30
bryceAuthor: Timo Aaltonen <tjaalton@cc.hut.fi>19:30
bryceDate:   Thu Jan 22 15:22:25 2009 +020019:30
bryce    Update the changelog for release.19:30
tjaaltonbut the 'not currently on any branch' suggests that you are on top of origin/ubuntu19:31
brycemaybe I forgot the -b ubuntu when I did the checkout19:32
bryceok, I think maybe it pushed now19:33
brycesheesh I suck at git19:33
brycetoo many flags I guess19:33
brycedo you see it now?19:34
tjaaltonsuccess :)19:34
