brycelibdrm2 uploaded00:02
brycetjaalton: when you get a chance, I'd love to have your review on it, to make sure I haven't loused things up too badly00:04
bryceI ended up keeping all the nouveau stuff using tormod's config option00:06
brycedunno if it works though, it would be nice if someone could test it out00:06
bryceI've tested on -intel and it seems ok; -amd could use a doublechecking00:06
tjaaltonbryce_: did you push your changes?04:54
bryce_tjaalton: for libdrm?  I thought so04:55
bryce_bryce@chideok:~/src/libdrm/libdrm-ubuntu-git-2.4.5$ git commit -a04:56
bryce_# On branch ubuntu04:56
bryce_nothing to commit (working directory clean)04:56
bryce_bryce@chideok:~/src/libdrm/libdrm-ubuntu-git-2.4.5$ git push origin ubuntu04:56
bryce_Everything up-to-date04:56
bryce_guess so04:56
bryce_I've got -intel merged and ready to go, but it isn't building04:56
tjaaltonhmm ok, didn't see the message on debian-x@, but maybe it's just my filters04:57
bryce_I guess libdrm hasn't hit the mirrors yet or something.  Seems to be building ok - https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/libdrm/2.4.5-0ubuntu104:57
tjaaltonI'll probably have time to look at it today04:57
tjaaltonbut if it builds.. :)04:57
bryce_since alpha-6 is frozen just now, I'm debating about whether to hold off on doing -intel04:57
bryce_oh also tim gardner's in town so I talked with him about the -ati drm kernel stuff, gave him airlied's tree/branch, and he'll be pulling it in maybe tonight04:58
tjaaltonoh04:58
bryce_so I'm wondering whether to put in a git snapshot of -ati while I'm at it...04:59
bryce_or wait until post alpha-6 for that.  maybe that'd be safer04:59
tjaaltonthat'll give accelerated 2d on r6xx+04:59
bryce_right04:59
* bryce_ growls at bug reporter on 24777104:59
tjaaltonheh05:00
tjaaltonwe sold our flat last week btw, it took only three days05:01
bryce_whoa, congrats05:01
bryce_that's the hard part, in this market ;-)05:02
tjaaltonnow we have two months to find a new place05:02
tjaaltonyea05:02
tjaaltonh05:02
bryce_think that gives you enough time?05:02
bryce_how tight are your criteria?05:02
tjaaltonour neighbor has their flat on sale since August, and the buyers had been looking at that for some time but weren't pleased with it, so when our flat came up they contacted us immediately05:03
bryce_heh, nice05:03
tjaaltonwell, there are a couple of candidates, but they all tend to have something wrong with them05:03
* bryce_ nods05:04
tjaaltonso we need at least three bedrooms and an office05:04
tjaaltonthird kid on the way..05:04
tjaaltondue next August05:04
bryce_congrats again :-)05:04
tjaaltonthanks :)05:05
* bryce_ still working on 1st05:05
tjaaltonoh and that also means that I'll have to get another car :/ :)05:05
tjaaltonbut I'm not into SUV's (even the "european" kind), so the list of models that can take three kid seats isn't long05:06
bryce_you could get a pickup and then just throw them all in the bed05:07
bryce_if one pops out, well you got spares05:07
tjaaltonhehe :)05:07
bryce_yeah 5 person family kind of rules out the cooler cars...05:08
tjaaltonmy first porsche will have to wait :)05:09
bryce_hey you could get a Humvee05:09
bryce_then when the kids grow up, you can replace the babyseat with a mounted SMG.  now that would be cool05:09
tjaaltonthere's one in the neighborhood :)05:09
bryce_an SMG?  wow, no wonder you want to move05:10
tjaaltonwithout any cool gadgets :)05:11
bryce_ah05:12

ubottuLaunchpad bug 339982 in xorg "X hangs for no apparent reason" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33998205:14
tjaalton"that happens"05:15
bryce_yeah05:18
bryce_I wish we had a better procedure for troubleshooting X hangs05:18
bryce_wow, why do we get so many -nvidia bug reports?05:46
tjaaltona cynical answer would be that because people use it even if it's buggy :)05:49
bryce_but why do they keep insisting on reporting bugs about it??05:53
tjaaltonout of despair..05:54
bryce_silly fools05:58
tjaaltonbut now we have tseliot working on them full time ? :)05:58
bryce_some day I'm going to write a script that scans the xorg bugs and moves all the bugs mentioning nvidia to the appropriate tracker, and give some automatic message about the iniquity of running proprietary drivers, and the hopelessness of trying to get support for them05:59
bryce_I have a feeling tseliot will be too busy with oem stuff05:59
bryce_I'm also going to write a script that looks at xorg bug reports with fewer than 3 lines of description and just auto-close them as "not enough info"06:00
tjaaltonah, so that's what he was appointed to06:02
tjaaltonafk, gone to work->06:04
bryce_heh, queried all the -177 bugs for patches... nada07:16
tjaaltonnvidia? hardly surprising ;)07:17
bryce_at least I checked ;-)07:19

bryce_good night07:26
tjaaltonnight07:26
tjaaltonbryce_: the libdrm merge looks fine, but did you touch the 2.4.5-1 changelog entry? looks like some parts were dropped from there09:20
Ngdoes libdrm 2.4.5 bring anything exciting? :)13:13
* Ng still needs to track down what's causing occasional X deaths13:13
bryce_hrm, the libdrm 2.4.5 didn't enable -intel 2.6.3 to build17:48
bryce_tjaalton, jcristau: does the -intel 2.6.2/.3 driver also require kernel drm changes?17:52
bryce_hrm, yeah /usr/include/drm/i915_drm.h is provided by linux-libc-dev now, however the changes 2.6.2/.3 needs are in libdrm17:58
bryce_bugger17:59
bryce_looks like we need http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0f973f27888e4664b253ab2cf69c67c2eb80ab1b in the kernel18:24
mnemoafter install updates just now my xorg no longer starts on intel g4518:25
mnemoI get:18:25
mnemo/etc/gdm/Xsession: Beginning session setup...18:25
mnemo/etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-localhost: 4: Syntax error: Bad fd number18:25
mnemois that a known issue?18:25
mnemothis is my 60x11-localhost file:18:27
mnemohttp://pastebin.com/f66a6fde18:27
mnemothe >& part looks like a typo18:27
mnemothat file ships in x11-common18:28
tjaaltonbryce_: yes, it'll need some commit(s)18:28
mnemobryce_: and x11-common was updated by you today according to debian/changlog18:29
bryce_mnemo: that's right18:35
mnemothe file in the source package has the same typo18:36
seb128urg18:36
seb128if that's a change which will breaks x startup for everybody upgrading better to hurry on a new upload18:37
mnemoi think it is yeah18:37
bryce_seb128: yeah this is the change asac had asked for18:37
* crevette stops its upgrade18:38
mnemobryce_: my xorg starts again with I just leave out the &18:38
bryce_https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/27635718:39
ubottuUbuntu bug 276357 in xorg "disable xauth for local users" [High,Fix released]18:39
bryce_mnemo: hmm18:39
mnemobryce_: yeah its bash typo only18:39
mnemothe xauth fix is good but the redirection is bad18:39
bryce_this is identical to what redhat used and asac asked for - http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/xorg-x11-xinit/devel/localuser.sh?revision=1.2&view=markup18:39
mnemothey probably meant 2>&1 > /dev/null or just ">/dev/null"18:40
mnemohmm, strange maybe the RH guy did the typo then?18:40
mnemoi've never seen >& before but im not bash expert18:41
bryce_maybe they use a better shell than us ;-)18:41
mnemoyeah18:41
seb128did anybody test this change?18:41
bryce_I've seen >& elsewhere before18:41
crdlbhe probably meant &>18:42
seb128mnemo: could you open a bug about that so we can track the issue?18:43
mnemowill do18:43

ubottuUbuntu bug 340676 in xorg "xorg fails to start due to "bad fd number"" [Undecided,New]18:47
mnemoi think the default sh in ubuntu is dash and the default sh in fedora is bash, isnt that so?18:48
mnemostill that doesnt look like valid bash to me18:49
crdlbdoes that script get run by sh? I'm pretty sure &> is a bashism anyway18:50
mnemothe upstream version has #!/bin/sh18:52
mnemobut the ubuntu version doesnt have it18:52
mnemoso maybe it's some weird sh:ism18:52
mnemoI'll test it18:52
mnemohmm its sourced by Xsession though so I cant just add #!/bin/sh to test it18:53
mnemobryce_: what command can I use to install the 5ubuntu15 version?19:00
* maxb is puzzled. packages.ubuntu.com claims that no package contains an 60x11-localhost in any release.19:00
mnemomaxb: use "dpkg -S 60x11-localhost"19:02
maxbI don't have an /etc/X11/Xsession.d/60x11-localhost file19:02
mnemomaxb: did you install the latest updates for jaunty? I think bryce added just now19:03
maxbI can't see any recent uploads of x11-common in jaunty-changes19:05
maxboh, there it is19:05
maxbHmm, the jaunty-changes emails seem to be lagged several hours behind uploads19:08
mnemobryce_: do I need to enable some special repo to test it, or should I fetch the .deb from somewhere and "dpkg -i" on it? this is what I see now --> http://pastebin.com/m6603bd8519:16
bryce_mnemo: should be in the regular repo soon.  I basically just backed out the &> change19:20
mnemommkay19:21
bryce_uf, it's lunchtime and I still haven't had breakfast...  bbiab19:21
=== seb128_ is now known as seb128
maxbbryce: a small thing... but the new 60x11-localhost doesn't follow the naming convention that seems to be established for Xsession.d entries, of NNpackagename[_suffix]22:55
brycemaxb: good point22:59
brycemaxb: I can't fix it easily at the moment; please file a bug to do the rename and assign to me23:00
maxbwill do23:00
