| bryce | crdlb: I'm not at liberty to discuss that | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| crdlb | proprietary drivers suck so much ... | 00:01 |
| bryce | agreed wholeheartedly | 00:01 |
| crdlb | so I guess nvidia is going to drop 6 and 7 support soon :) | 00:02 |
| bryce | really? I hadn't heard anything about that | 00:02 |
| crdlb | no, I just mean they can follow ATI's lead now | 00:04 |
| bryce | ah, well -nvidia of course has the legacy driver situation going on | 00:07 |
| bryce | thankfully they've been providing updated builds of those | 00:07 |
| tormod | if it means they will concentrate (as in reassign) efforts on the open-source drivers, let fglrx slowly die | 00:07 |
| bryce | sweetness, -fglrx on hd4850 is good to go too | 00:08 |
| bryce | (previous test was on hd2600) | 00:08 |
| bryce | mm, fast too | 00:09 |
| tormod | bryce re hd2600, do you get issues like in bug 339647 | 00:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 339647 in xserver-xorg-video-ati "[M76] Screen tearing when playing back video on HD2600" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/339647 | 00:10 |
| bryce | heh, wish you'd asked like 15 min ago | 00:10 |
| bryce | I can give it a try later though | 00:11 |
| tormod | you're sitting with the card in your hand now :) | 00:12 |
| bryce | yeah I pulled it out to put the 4850 in; so am going to test that one a bit first | 00:14 |
| bryce | sad; 6.12.0 no workie on the hd4850 (white screen) | 00:23 |
| tormod | bryce: and that's not the white screen of compiz? | 00:26 |
| bryce | # ls -l /usr/bin/compiz | 00:30 |
| bryce | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12206 Mar 16 07:37 /usr/bin/compiz | 00:30 |
| bryce | also tried disabling dri, dri2, and glx, no change | 00:31 |
| bryce | also it's occurring before the gdm screen; usually the compiz whitescreen happens after login, right? | 00:32 |
| crdlb | always :) | 00:33 |
| crdlb | well, unless you have a gdm that uses compiz | 00:34 |
| bryce | startx fails too | 00:34 |
| bryce | XAA and EXA both failing same way | 00:36 |
| bryce | hmm, do we know any other tricks? | 00:36 |
| tormod | nothing in the logs? | 00:37 |
| bryce | http://bryceharrington.org/files/Xorg.0.log | 00:40 |
| jcristau | tried noaccel? | 00:40 |
| tormod | there is no XAA support for r6/7xx but I guess your option is just ignored | 00:42 |
| bryce | jcristau: good point | 00:42 |
| bryce | hmm, noaccel -> black screen instead | 00:44 |
| bryce | hmm, well maybe it's just dependent on the kernel stuff | 00:45 |
| bryce | speaking of which... alex just sent in the kernel patch to tim | 00:45 |
| bryce | heh, avivotool crashes the box | 00:53 |
| bryce | er, locks it up anyway | 00:53 |
| bryce | interesting; the reporters on bug 325394 found it fixed with the git snapshot | 01:43 |

| bryce | down to 13 bugs against xorg | 07:46 |
| tjaalton | whoa, less than 1700 bugs | 08:30 |
| tjaalton | btw, a fresh install doesn't seem to run dexconf at all, resulting in an empty xorg.conf | 08:32 |
| bryce | is that intentional? | 08:33 |
| tjaalton | don't think so | 08:33 |
| tjaalton | having no xorg.conf would be better | 08:33 |
| bryce | btw, I also noticed xserver-xorg-video-vesa doesn't seem to be installed by default (at least, it was missing on my test box after intrepid->hardy upgrade) | 08:33 |
| tjaalton | which means that -video-all was removed too? | 08:35 |
| bryce | yeah | 08:35 |
| bryce | # apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-all | 08:35 |
| bryce | xserver-xorg-video-all: | 08:35 |

| bryce | 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages | 08:35 |
| tjaalton | they seem to be installed on our fresh installations | 08:36 |
| bryce | hmm | 08:39 |
| tjaalton | so maybe a driver wasn't rebuilt when you did the upgrade? | 08:39 |
| tjaalton | unless it was recently | 08:40 |
| bryce | the upgrade was today | 08:41 |
| bryce | (for testing -ati 6.12.0 and the new -fglrx) | 08:41 |
| tjaalton | ok, the logs might have something | 08:41 |
| bryce | maybe. It's also my pretty heavily pummeled test box, so I don't trust bugs I see on it as representing ordinary users ;-) | 08:43 |
| bryce | although I would have thought the upgrade would pull that stuff in... | 08:44 |
| tjaalton | even --fix-policy doesn't seem to install -video-all | 08:44 |
| bryce | lp's funky for me; pops open the edit title widgets even when I don't want to edit them | 08:52 |
| bryce | tjaalton: 340807 | 09:18 |
| bryce | down to 10 xorg bugs, and soon will be down to 6! | 09:19 |
| bryce | tjaalton: bug #134401 you might know how to triage better than I | 09:20 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 134401 in xorg "[needs-packaging] add support for fujitsu tablet input device" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/134401 | 09:20 |
| tjaalton | bryce: yeah, that looks good now | 09:20 |
| bryce | maybe it belongs somewhere other than xorg | 09:20 |
| tjaalton | test it locally first :) | 09:20 |
| bryce | yeah, tomorrow maybe | 09:20 |
| tjaalton | uh, yet-another touchscreen driver | 09:21 |
| tjaalton | looks like it's a modified evtouch | 09:23 |
| bryce | maybe ought to recommend merging into that upstream, and wontfix in ubuntu? | 09:23 |
| tjaalton | yes | 09:23 |
| bryce | bug #250372 can probably be closed now, sounds like the issue is no longer present for the user. You should check that one though. | 09:24 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 250372 in xorg "Do not add /usr/bin/X11 to path, causes problems with relative symlinked binaries" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/250372 | 09:24 |
| bryce | right, bedtime for me. cya tomorrow. | 09:25 |
| tjaalton | night | 09:25 |
| tjaalton | bryce: looks like he modified the PATH locally, which fixed it. I'm not sure if the symlink is still needed or not | 09:29 |
| seb128 | somebody talked to me about a bug before? | 14:03 |
| seb128 | tjaalton: was that you? | 14:03 |
| tjaalton | seb128: yes, I forwarded it upstream | 14:08 |
| tjaalton | about nautilus | 14:08 |
| seb128 | tjaalton: no clue about it I've no nfs, but does it crash? | 14:09 |
| seb128 | you can run "gnome-desktop-item-edit .desktop" on the command line | 14:09 |
| seb128 | hum, the issue is with the nautilus properties? | 14:09 |
| seb128 | I've no launcher tab there | 14:09 |
| tjaalton | let me check | 14:09 |
| tjaalton | not quite the same, that one works :) | 14:10 |
| seb128 | do you get any error when the nautilus dialog close? | 14:10 |
| tjaalton | no, it just closes | 14:10 |
| tjaalton | nothing in .xsession-errors | 14:10 |
| seb128 | really weird | 14:11 |
| seb128 | not crashing? | 14:11 |
| tjaalton | nautilus is still running | 14:11 |
| tjaalton | it doesn't crash | 14:11 |
| tjaalton | and at least the jaunty version doesn't have a launcher tab (anymore?) | 14:11 |
| tjaalton | hmm, gotta run for now | 14:12 |
| tjaalton | I can debug it more tomorrow | 14:12 |
| seb128 | ok | 14:12 |
| seb128 | I doubt upstream will reply | 14:12 |
| seb128 | they mostly don't read bugzilla and I'm not sure they use nfs | 14:12 |
| tjaalton | yeah, bugtrackers are such a pain :) | 14:13 |
| tjaalton | but -> | 14:13 |
| marijus1 | i got kms to work now. but compiz doesnt work. metacity is fine except for video playback. do i have to take care of something special for compiz to work? | 17:28 |
| bryce | heh, 313027 has turned into a FOSS-vs-proprietary discussion forum already | 17:30 |
| marijus1 | hm? | 17:34 |
| bryce | tjaalton: for -intel I think I'm going to try a kludge to get around the kernel dependency so we can get 2.6.3 in. I'm guessing we probably can't hope for a kernel update for -intel at this stage. | 18:31 |
| bryce | assuming that works, then we need a quick decision on EXA vs. UXA for -intel for beta. | 18:32 |
| bryce | ok, it builds | 19:56 |
| bryce | and boots | 21:09 |
| bryce | froze up on gdm shutdown though (wtf?) | 21:09 |
| bryce | not a freeze; actually just the wireless connection dropped when I closed gdm | 21:22 |
| tjaalton | bryce: so you included the header with the driver? | 21:33 |
| bryce | tjaalton: not even that; I just s/I915_SETPARAM_NUM_USED_FENCES/4/ | 21:36 |
| tjaalton | heh | 21:37 |
| bryce | alright, seems stable enough. I'm uploading. | 21:39 |
| tjaalton | nice, something to upgrade tomorrow :) | 21:41 |
| bryce | ok, -fglrx next | 22:26 |
| bryce | superm1: (unless you would prefer handling it...) | 22:35 |
| bryce | superm1: hrm, looks like they did not list EPR#'s fixed, so our work flagging bugs seems to have been entirely for naught | 22:52 |
| bryce | packaging done, builds/installs ok, time to test | 23:35 |
| RAOF | I suppose it'll soon be time to ask for some nouveau FFe's. | 23:41 |
| bryce | ok looks good; uploading | 23:49 |
