| tjaalton | bryce: note that files in /etc are conffiles, and removing them needs extra care | 05:17 |
|---|---|---|
| tjaalton | so just renaming it means that people will have them both | 05:18 |
| bryce | tjaalton: oh for 60x11-localhost? | 05:21 |
| tjaalton | yes | 05:22 |
| bryce | how should it be done? | 05:22 |
| tjaalton | there are examples in that package | 05:22 |
| tjaalton | can't remember which script it was | 05:22 |
| tjaalton | x11-common.postrm | 05:24 |
| bryce | I'll have you review before I put in any changes | 05:24 |
| bryce | thanks for the heads up. | 05:25 |
| tjaalton | this is why I think the scripts should be in /usr/share/X11 or something | 05:25 |
| bryce | probably so | 05:25 |
| tjaalton | and leave /etc/X11/Xsession.d for the admin | 05:25 |
| bryce | yeah I think too much gets in /etc/X11 in general | 05:26 |
| tjaalton | I should probably fix mesa too at some point.. there's this script for fglrx which is obsolete, and the removal isn't handled properly | 05:27 |
| tjaalton | did you notice the comment about libdrm changelog? | 05:28 |
| tjaalton | looks like you edited the 2.4.5-1 entry | 05:28 |
| tjaalton | hum, shower-> | 05:29 |
| bryce | no missed that | 05:29 |
| bryce | tjaalton: what was the problem? | 06:20 |
| tjaalton | bryce: see the commit diff: http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/lib/libdrm.git;a=commitdiff;h=cf2534023a3fdce5b7a44b50d76defaa78ff78be | 07:05 |
| tjaalton | two missing changelog entries from 2.4.5-1 | 07:07 |
| bryce | ah sorry | 07:08 |
| bryce | boy, git and I really don't get along. | 07:09 |
| tjaalton | well it's due to a merge error, and no VCS could get it right :) | 07:10 |
| tjaalton | normally I'll first take what's in debian and then apply our changes on top of it | 07:11 |
| tjaalton | using meld | 07:11 |
| bryce | the sad thing is that the libdrm merge was worthless anyway, because -intel still won't build | 07:11 |
| tjaalton | but nouveau can be synced now :) | 07:12 |
| bryce | depends on some 2-line change needed in kernel drm code :-( | 07:12 |
| tjaalton | that's how it's going to be in the future | 07:12 |
| tjaalton | although it's been mostly an issue with intel, since they are changing things all the time | 07:13 |
| tjaalton | a stable driver? haha | 07:13 |
| bryce | yeah I know. I talked with tim about it yesterday and today | 07:13 |
| bryce | it's going to suck | 07:13 |
| tjaalton | someone from the kernel team should monitor the upstream drm code I guess | 07:14 |
| tjaalton | but maybe it's too much overheaed | 07:14 |
| tjaalton | -e | 07:14 |
| bryce | well, I guess if the changelog was the only thing messed up in the merge, that's pretty good, I worried more that there was something wrong in the .install's or something | 07:15 |
| tjaalton | did you bump the version in rules? (dh_makeshlibs -plibdrm2 -V'libdrm2 (>= 2.4.5)) | 07:22 |
| tjaalton | afaik no new symbols were added since 2.4.3, which is what debian has | 07:23 |
| bryce | I did bump the version, however I didn't know if that was needed or not | 07:27 |
| tjaalton | it'll make drivers built against this version not work with 2.4.3 while they should, but it's not a huge issue | 07:30 |
| tjaalton | meaning packages will depend on libdrm 2.4.5 and fail to install if only 2.4.3 is available | 07:31 |
| bryce_ | wow, https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+packagebugs is messed up | 16:22 |
| popey | is there general broken-ness in the evtouch input driver at the moment? I am getting xorg blowing up on calibrate | 16:22 |
| * popey has asked his mate to file bug 341215 | 16:24 | |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 341215 in xf86-input-evtouch "[Jaunty] calibration crashes xorg on HP TX1000" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/341215 | 16:24 |
| bryce_ | popey: did you look in lp? | 16:27 |
| popey | there is a couple of older reports that claim to be fixed | 16:27 |
| bryce_ | popey: then afaik there is no general brokenness. | 16:29 |
| popey | bryce_: guess that depends how common the evtouch is | 16:30 |
| bryce_ | you've not provided enough info in your bug report to say | 16:30 |
| popey | what's needed? | 16:30 |
| bryce_ | http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting | 16:30 |
| popey | i used ubuntu-bug so expected that to attach everything | 16:30 |
| bryce_ | I think it's not set up for -evtouch | 16:31 |
| bryce_ | I probably should fix that | 16:31 |
| popey | want me to file a bug? :) | 16:31 |
| bryce_ | nah I'm fixing it presently | 16:32 |
| popey | ta | 16:32 |
| popey | just realised this is using binary nvidia, bryce_ , should I test with nv too? | 16:34 |
| bryce_ | yep; if it's an -nvidia problem there's hardly anything we can do | 16:35 |
| popey | ok, will test under both | 16:36 |
| bryce_ | btw, why do you use -nvidia? | 16:37 |
| popey | its not my pc | 16:38 |
| popey | but the user is new to ubuntu, and i think he likes the 3d desktop stuff | 16:38 |
| bryce_ | hmm | 16:39 |
| bryce_ | if you and he ever feel like experimenting, there is also the -nouveau driver | 16:39 |
| bryce_ | we don't officially support it in canonical yet, but it's been getting lots of improvements lately and in karmic we may be looking at relying on it more | 16:40 |
| bryce_ | it would be interesting to hear if it works adequately for people's needs yet | 16:40 |
| popey | yeah, thats an idea | 16:44 |
| popey | didn't even realise it was packaged | 16:44 |
| bryce_ | yep | 16:44 |
| bryce_ | ok, added a bunch more x packages for apport support to our git tree. once alpha6 freeze is over it'll get uploaded. | 16:45 |
| popey | thanks | 16:48 |
| popey | ok, bryce_ it happens with -nv too | 16:51 |
| bryce_ | good, so it's something we can presumably fix | 16:52 |
| bryce_ | make sure the bug report has the necessary info (Xorg.0.log, lshal, etc.) | 16:53 |
| bryce_ | popey: also, did you try -evdev with this device? It doesn't work with all input devices but it'll probably become the universal input driver going forward | 16:54 |
| bryce_ | I think it doesn't handle touch devices very well yet though | 16:54 |
| popey | bryce_: not yet | 16:54 |
| bryce_ | ok, worth trying just in case | 16:55 |
| popey | bryce_: will go back there and get all the debug stuff, need to add dbgsyms etc to get a meaningful trace i guess | 16:55 |
| bryce_ | yep | 16:55 |
| popey | thanks for the help | 16:55 |
| bryce_ | sure, I'll subscribe to the bug to catch the updates for you | 16:55 |
| bryce_ | s/for/from/ | 16:56 |
