[00:22] <bryce> xorg ------------> 25
[00:44] <bryce> xorg --------------> 18    DONE
[00:45] <bryce> tjaalton: for maybe the first time, the xorg package has mostly only bugs that are relevant to it :-)
[00:45] <bryce> plus three that don't have enough info so it's not sure where to file them
[01:24] <bryce> tjaalton: could you add a section to X/GitUsage explaining how to add a new package to git control?  E.g., xserver-xorg-video-ati
[06:07] <tjaalton> bryce: wow!
[06:07] <tjaalton> bryce: sure, I'll look at it later today
[06:08] <tjaalton> it's basically just 'git checkout -b ubuntu' while you're on the branch that you want to branch from
[06:08] <tjaalton> and then 'git push origin ubuntu' to push it the first time
[08:07] <jcristau> bryce: i have no clue about the radeon driver
[12:31] <btQuark> there's something i always wonder about
[12:32] <btQuark> how can one construct such utter bullcrap as the fglrx driver
[12:33] <btQuark> and why can nvidia construct something that is stable and equipped with a nice user interface and good functionality
[12:33] <btQuark> i've just tried the newest fglrx straight from the amd website and it is plain offensive
[12:33] <btQuark> an insult
[12:36] <btQuark> i mean, at least it does not crash after seconds
[12:37] <btQuark> it 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 before
[12:38] <btQuark> and they're still not able to the least to make their own powerplay work on linux
[12:38] <btQuark> the opensource driver does a better job - i actually felt the graphics chip being grilled although not used
[12:39] <btQuark> and they dont even seem to have heard the word posix
[12:39] <btQuark> if the ati/radeon driver would only have dri2 and some more speed optimizations
[12:39] <btQuark> it would be perfect
[12:39] <btQuark> maybe some more optimizations in for the powerplay
[17:01] <superm1> tseliot, are all of your changes in the latest gcc upload, or did seb128 need to merge in a few more?
[17:01] <seb128> what changes?
[17:02] <superm1> tseliot said that there were a few updated patched for the gnome display tool that he sent to you to put in
[17:02] <superm1> i was going to update my vendor fallback patch after they were in the archive
[17:02] <seb128> I did upload 2.25.90 with his patches yesterday
[17:02] <seb128> go for it
[17:02] <superm1> okay great thanks
[17:03] <tseliot> right
[17:05] <bryce> morning
[17:06] <superm1> g'mornin
[17:08] <tseliot> morning
[17:33] <seb128> superm1: btw did you get that patch discussed or review by somebody?
[17:33] <superm1> seb128, me and tseliot talked about it 
[17:33] <seb128> superm1: and when you open a bug upstream this way it would be nice to tag the patch, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PatchTaggingGuidelines
[17:34] <superm1> seb128, 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] <seb128> I'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 components
[17:34] <seb128> thanks!
[17:45]  * NCommander shines the bryce light into the midnight sky
[17:45] <bryce> yep?
[17:45]  * NCommander hopes you can help w/ an evdev issue
[17:45] <NCommander> bryce, 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 work
[17:45] <NCommander> any ideas
[17:48] <bryce> NCommander: not offhand; ogra may know, he's the master of touch devices
[17:48] <NCommander> bryce, he sent me to you.
[17:49] <bryce> tell me more about what you've already tried
[17:49] <NCommander> InvertX/InvertY
[17:49] <NCommander> Which didn't seem to work
[17:50] <bryce> did you file a bug report?
[18:02] <NCommander> bryce, well, it might be user error, w.r.t to syntax and such, I was hoping if you would know
[18:04] <mahfiaz1> is there good how-to on adding synaptic device to xserver?
[18:06] <bryce> NCommander: that's possible; I've never had a touchscreen to experiment with so am unfamiliar with the syntax myself
[18:06] <NCommander> Right, that's my problem.
[18:07] <tjaalton> bryce: I edited the GitUsage page a bit, 'Basic Tutorial' now mentions that pull/checkout is how you also create the ubuntu branch
[18:09] <bryce> tjaalton: ok, I have a couple evdev revs to commit, but git is not working for me at the moment
[18:09] <bryce> $ git push origin ubuntu
[18:09] <bryce> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
[18:10] <tjaalton> you mean the ones that were uploaded already?
[18:12] <bryce> *ubuntu2 was uploaded already, *ubuntu3 is still in process here
[18:12] <bryce> I'm having bug 328127 currently, which may be why git is broken
[18:13] <tjaalton> ok, ubuntu2 is missing from git
[18:13] <bryce> right, I'm just saying I'll get it in as soon as I sort out my git breakage :-)
[18:13] <tjaalton> heh, figured as much :)
[18:15] <tjaalton> I'll upgrade to see if I have the same problem
[18:15] <bryce> the `unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK` workaround doesn't seem to solve it btw
[18:16] <tjaalton> what do you have as the origin url in .git/config
[18:16] <tjaalton> I suspect the docs need an update :)
[18:17] <bryce> [remote "origin"]
[18:17] <bryce> 	url = git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev
[18:17] <bryce> 	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[18:17] <tjaalton> bingo
[18:17] <tjaalton> I have 'url = ssh+git://tjaalton-guest@alioth.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/x-x-i-e
[18:17] <bryce> yeah I was just following the directions in the docs to get to this point
[18:17] <tjaalton> so if you clone like in the docs -> fail
[18:18] <tjaalton> oh wait, the docs are right :)
[18:18] <tjaalton> the wikipage I mean
[18:18] <bryce> well the docs are for xorg/xserver, so for -evdev I started from the git URL printed out when I did an apt-get source
[18:18] <tjaalton> you can change it directly in .git/config and it should work
[18:19] <tjaalton> right
[18:19] <bryce> oh oops, already rm -rf'd the tree
[18:19] <tjaalton> hehe
[18:19] <bryce> $ git clone git clone ssh://user-guest@alioth.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/debian/xserver-xorg-input-evdev
[18:19] <bryce> Initialized empty Git repository in /home/bryce/src/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/git/.git/
[18:19] <bryce> fatal: no matching remote head
[18:20] <bryce> hrm
[18:20] <tjaalton> you need to change the $user
[18:20] <bryce> dah, right
[18:20] <bryce> hrm, still getting the same thing
[18:21] <bryce> git makes me feel like such an idiot ;-)
[18:21] <bryce> is 'pkg-xorg' right in the url?
[18:21] <tjaalton> no
[18:21] <tjaalton> sorry, yes
[18:21] <bryce> hrm
[18:21] <tjaalton> but s/debian/driver/
[18:21] <bryce> ok... is my username 'bryce'?
[18:22] <bryce> yep
[18:22] <tjaalton> check the config from your xorg-server?
[18:23] <bryce> $ git clone git clone ssh://bryce-guest@alioth.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/debian/xserver-xorg-driver-evdev
[18:23] <bryce> Initialized empty Git repository in /home/bryce/src/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/git/.git/
[18:23] <bryce> fatal: no matching remote head
[18:23] <tjaalton> 20:21 < tjaalton> but s/debian/driver/
[18:23] <tjaalton> :)
[18:23] <bryce> what is the standard way for determining the url for a given package?
[18:23] <bryce> same thing
[18:23] <tjaalton> from the frontpage of git.d.o maybe
[18:24] <tjaalton> append '.git'?
[18:24] <bryce> ok, I think I looked for xkeyboard-config there yesterday but didn't see it
[18:24] <bryce> nope
[18:25] <tjaalton> it's called -input-evdev btw :)
[18:25] <bryce> aha got it
[18:26] <bryce> git clone git+ssh://bryce-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev
[18:26] <bryce> needed the +ssh (and maybe s/alioth/git/)
[18:27] <tjaalton> I used the one you pasted earlier and just changed s/driver/input/
[18:27] <tjaalton> xkeyboard-config is pkg-xorg/data/xkb-data
[18:28] <bryce> aha
[18:28] <bryce> yeah, would be too consistent for it to be named xkeyboard-config ;-)
[18:28] <tjaalton> ype
[18:29] <tjaalton> yep
[18:45] <bryce> tjaalton: committed and pushed
[18:45] <bryce> tjaalton: mind verifying it pushed right?
[18:48] <tjaalton> bryce: sure :)
[18:49] <bryce> pushed one more small typo fix
[18:49] <tjaalton> bryce: evdev?
[18:51] <tjaalton> reboot, brb
[18:57] <mahfiaz1> is there any trick to get external monitor to work on T61 with nvidia (Quadro NVS 140M)?
[19:01] <bryce> mahfiaz1: nvidia-config ?
[19:03] <tjaalton> bryce: I can't see any changes in evdev.git
[19:05] <mahfiaz1> bryce, 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 try
[19:10] <bryce> tjaalton: hrm
[19:10] <bryce> $ git push origin ubuntu
[19:10] <bryce> Agent admitted failure to sign using the key.
[19:10] <bryce> Password: 
[19:10] <bryce> error: src refspec ubuntu does not match any.
[19:10] <bryce> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
[19:10] <bryce> error: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://bryce-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev'
[19:11] <tjaalton> bryce: probably still something wrong in your .git/config then
[19:11] <bryce> [remote "origin"]
[19:11] <bryce>         url = git+ssh://bryce-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev
[19:11] <bryce>         fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[19:12] <tjaalton> looks correct
[19:12] <bryce> *sigh*
[19:12] <tjaalton> maybe the agent error is messing things up
[19:12] <bryce> yeah could be
[19:12] <tjaalton> dunno
[19:12] <tjaalton> right
[19:13] <tjaalton> because you don't actually have a password on alioth
[19:13] <tjaalton> this relies on key-authentication
[19:14] <bryce> after doing the `unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK` workaround, I try:
[19:14] <bryce> $ git push origin ubuntu
[19:14] <bryce> error: src refspec ubuntu does not match any.
[19:14] <bryce> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
[19:14] <bryce> error: failed to push some refs to 'git+ssh://bryce-guest@git.debian.org/git/pkg-xorg/driver/xserver-xorg-input-evdev'
[19:15] <bryce> $ git push
[19:15] <bryce> Everything up-to-date
[19:18] <tjaalton> you have a local branch called 'ubuntu'?
[19:19] <tjaalton> 'git status'?
[19:21] <tjaalton> can you login to git.debian.org?
[19:25] <bryce> $ git status
[19:25] <bryce> # Not currently on any branch.
[19:25] <bryce> nothing to commit (working directory clean)
[19:25] <bryce> and no, I cannot log into git.debian.org
[19:28] <tjaalton> you need to 'git checkout -b ubuntu origin/ubuntu' first..
[19:28] <tjaalton> to create the local branch
[19:29] <tjaalton> mentioned on wiki, then you can start committing stuff
[19:29] <bryce> yes, I did that...  it shows your -1ubuntu1 commit in debian/changelog
[19:30] <bryce> the last git log message before I added mine was:
[19:30] <bryce> commit 56826701ad181dba4fdacc157ca53454ed12f20b
[19:30] <bryce> Author: Timo Aaltonen <tjaalton@cc.hut.fi>
[19:30] <bryce> Date:   Thu Jan 22 15:22:25 2009 +0200
[19:30] <bryce>     Update the changelog for release.
[19:31] <tjaalton> but the 'not currently on any branch' suggests that you are on top of origin/ubuntu
[19:32] <bryce> maybe I forgot the -b ubuntu when I did the checkout
[19:33] <bryce> ok, I think maybe it pushed now
[19:33] <bryce> sheesh I suck at git
[19:33] <bryce> too many flags I guess
[19:34] <bryce> do you see it now?
[19:34] <tjaalton> success :)
