jbarnesbryce: ok just wanted to make extra sure the gpu was hung00:19
jbarnesalbert23's last dump shows that we started executing junk00:19
bryceI've waited a couple hours since the freeze, and no files in /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0 have changed00:21
pwnguinbryce_: what's the purpose exactly, of adding lspci entries to the bug descrption?04:12
bryce_pwnguin: needed for upstreaming the bug04:34
tjaaltonCaesar: yes?05:53
Caesartjaalton: libxcb06:42
CaesarWe're seeing problems with it in Hardy06:42
CaesarOn amd6406:43
CaesarBoth the 64-bit version and what's in ia32-libs06:43
CaesarApparently the problems went away when I rebuilt the ia32-libs version without optimisation06:44
CaesarMake of that what you will06:44
CaesarI haven't tried making a non-optimised 64-bit version yet to see if that solves the other problems06:44
CaesarI was wondering if you had any thoughts on the whole situation? There's been one or two libxcb-related bugs bouncing around I think06:44
tjaaltonCaesar: which ones?06:49
tjaaltonand what problems?06:49
Caesartjaalton: various crashes06:51
CaesarI'm not VPNed into work at the moment, so I can't check our bug tracking system06:51
tjaaltonok, are they on lp too?06:52
tjaaltonI'd be interested to know if they happen on jaunty too06:53
tjaaltonsince we're going to be fully 64bit in a few months ;)06:53
tjaaltonI know that there used to be some java issues06:53
tjaaltonbut java was fixed since06:53
tjaaltonand so was libxcb, so that it can't fail the same way anymore06:54
Caesarjava was one of the problematic things06:54
CaesarLet me see which lp bugs we're subscribed to06:55
CaesarSo there's #22062806:58
Caesarand #232364 is less pressing06:58
CaesarI'd have to doublecheck what we've got internally tomorrow06:59
tjaaltonsure06:59
tjaaltonso there's a patch for the former.. have you tried backporting it?07:00
CaesarNot yet07:01
CaesarI've still been trying to wrap my head around all of the issues07:01
tjaaltonthink I've seen this bug myself, good to know there's a fix :)07:01
CaesarActually, let me search my email, that should turn up something useful07:01
tjaaltonI'll be moving the next week or so, which means I'm unable to work on it before early May perhaps, but I'll keep an eye on it because it seems important07:03
CaesarYeah, it seems to be fairly important07:04
CaesarI think we did a backport of that patch for a single user to see how it worked out for them07:05
CaesarFirefox still seemed to crash, just less07:05
tjaaltonI'll assign myself to the bug07:05
CaesarI had someone look at some other crashes, and he said:07:06
CaesarI can't see how $EBX is meant to be maintained.  The generated code looks optimised (non static functions have been inlined).  This feels like an optimization bug.07:06
Caesar(that was for the ia32-libs version)07:06
CaesarSo I went and rebuilt it without optimisation07:06
Caesarand that seemed to fix the problem07:06
CaesarSo something's very wrong if just changing the optimisation level fixes the problem07:07
tjaaltonthat was some other bug?07:07
CaesarYeah07:12
CaesarIt's very internal, so it's hard to file a meaningful lp bug07:12
tjaaltonheh, ok07:13
tjaaltoncould that be a compiler bug?07:14
CaesarI guess it could be07:14
tjaaltontalk to doko about it07:14
tjaaltonhe might have ideas07:14
Caesarok07:14
Le-Chuck_ITAHi there, I have Xorg crashing on "first reboot" after installing jaunty. It worked for months, but the latest version of X works only on first boot, that's very strange. Perhaps related to kernel. It's bug #36448810:03

mnemotjaalton: or why did you set wacom-tools on it?10:23
tjaaltonmnemo: because it's likely a dupe of another bug (can't find it now)10:24
mnemoaaah ok10:25
mnemodoes wacom-tools request xorg.log etc just like xorg does when you run the apport-collect thing?10:26
tjaaltonnot necessarily a wacom bug, could be in the xserver10:26
tjaaltonyes10:26
mnemook would you like me to change it back to wacom-tools then?10:26
tjaaltonyes10:26
mnemowill do10:26
tjaaltonthanks10:26
mnemotjaalton: btw, I have wacom HW10:27
tjaaltonmnemo: ok, you could check bug 358643 and see if you can reproduce the issues10:30

tjaaltonthere are also proposed fixes, and I've yet to grok the reply from gomyhr10:31
mnemoits my gf's wacom actually so I never tried it in ubuntu before.... anyway now when I connected it, things just worked out of the box...10:34

tjaaltonright, it works if you _don't_ have anything in the conffile10:35
tjaaltonbut I'm worried about the people upgrading :)10:35
tjaaltonit'll be mentioned on the release notes though10:36
tjaaltonbut an SRU would be nice10:36

tjaaltontseliot: have you had time to prepare the new stable nvidia for testing?11:12
tseliottjaalton: I prepared and I'm using 180.51 but I think it's still a prerelease11:12

tseliotno regressions so far11:14
tseliotwe might do an SRU when the stable version is released11:15
tjaaltonright11:15
tjaaltonI should probably test the gf9600gt's a bit more11:15
tjaaltonwe'll be getting a 100 of those :/11:15

apwjbarnes, hi ... trying to get a handle on the tiling performance issues associated with MCHBAR, and wondering what happened with the patch 'allocate MCHBAR space & enable if necessary', i think i remember there being a replacement proposed  but cannot find it11:45

Ngis there anything i can quickly do to get debugging before i have to reboot?13:19
Ngi have a quick gdb bt13:21
tjaaltonNg: do you have all the bits (2.6.30 + patched i915.ko, the reg-dumper=13:21

sorenAn acquaintance of mine just ran update-manager to do the intrepid->jaunty upgrade and it told him that there wasn't an fglrx driver for his card. It's an x1400. Is that accurate?14:07
sorenIf it is, he'll be moved to the free driver, right? I'm told they don't support 3D acceleration.14:09
sorenIf that's indeed the case, the upgrade will mean he'll lose 3D capabilities. However, I don't see any mention of anything like this in the release notes?14:09
mvosoren: what is the pci id of this card (the x1400) ?14:09
sorenmvo: I'll check.14:09
mvosoren: I doN't think he will loose 3d acceleration, but it may be less well supported, iirc the x1400 is a r500 based card and the 3d support for the free driver is pretty solid there14:10
mvo(compiz should run just fine, not sure about more advanced stuff like real games)14:10
sorenmvo: 1002:714514:16
mvosoren: from the modaliases it looks like this is indeed just r600+ support now14:20
sorenfglrx, you mean?14:20
sorenSo he'll be automatically switched to the free driver? That's the one called "radeon", is it?14:21
mvosoren: yes - and http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature looks pretty good for the r50014:21
sorenmvo: Fantastic. Thank you.14:21
mvosoren: let me know how the upgrade goes and if everything works as expected please14:21
sorenmvo: Still... I understand why he was startled by that message. Losing 3D would be a showstopper for lots of people, I think.14:22
sorenmvo: Will do.14:22
Ngare we could to put in such a message for i965?14:23
mvosoren: right. I understand. I'm not familiar enough with the free ati driver to judge how well the individual chips are supported, so I decided to go with the "conservative" message14:24
mvoNg: only in a sru at this point14:24
tjaaltonsoren: the r5xx series has free 3D support14:24
tjaaltonsince intrepid14:25
sorentjaalton: Cool.14:25
sorenI'm just passing the message on... He was rather concerned by the message, and the release notes don't mention anything about this.14:26
Ngmvo: fair enough14:26
jcristauand r6/7xx will probably get it for the next release14:26
sorenPerhaps it's worth mentioning the transition in the release notes.14:27
sorenmvo: He's doing the upgrade later today and promised he'd get back to me with the results. I'll keep you posted :)14:27
mvojcristau, tjaalton: is it "good enough" to not show a warning at all for all r5xx chips?14:35
tjaaltonmvo: where's the full text?14:35
mvohttp://paste.ubuntu.com/155350/14:36
tjaaltonI guess it could only worry people14:39
tjaaltonalthough the text is technically correct :)14:40
Shappie__Hello, is there a way to disable the RandR extension of Xorg?14:56
Shappie__It conflicts with my fglrx driver from ATi (9.4)14:56
Mirvmvo: for basic desktop (3D) usage it should be enough, and largely at least there is zero reduction in desktop effects. games do suffer until radeon-rewrite comes for karmic.14:56
MirvI've played stuff like Neverwinter Nights on my (former) Radeon X800 without problems, but things like Doom 3 do not work (yet)14:57
mvoMirv: thanks! that is valauble information, so the warning is probably a good idea14:58
Mirvmvo: warning, or just a release note about decreased game performance on R50014:58
jcristauShappie__: that doesn't make sense14:58
Mirvof course, there might indeed be a bunch of gamers using something like X1650-X1950, for them it's an important piece of information14:59
Shappie__jcristau: What you mean? When i type in terminal the command with sudo aticonfig to make dualscreen setup its says error due to RandR 1.2 enabled14:59
Shappie__You need the exact error? I have it somewhere...14:59
Mirvbut if using the warning message, just remove the "desktop effects, and "15:00
jcristauShappie__: shrug.  i don't know what aticonfig is, so i probably couldn't help with it anyway.15:00
jbarnesapw: it's under "pnp: add PNP resource range checking function" on intel-gfx16:19
jbarnesapw: I split it in two because the pnp part needed to be generic16:19
apwjbarnes, ahh thanks will look at it16:29
apwjbarnes, i see that bjorn came back with an alternative generic check, did that get tested yet?17:02
jbarnesapw: no, do you have a test platform you could try it with?17:03
jbarnesyou'd need to add an EXPORT_SYMBOL for it and a prototype17:03
apwi have users who are upset its not working17:03
jbarnesshould be easy to do though17:03
apwso i suspect they would be willing to test anything, as their performance sucks without your fix17:03
jbarneswould be great to get some test results so we could push it upstream soon17:04

jbarnesbryce: I thought the sony panel problem was fixed?20:41
brycejbarnes: might be, this known issue list is old (2.6.1-ish)20:42
jbarnesat least the linked bug is fixed :)20:42
* jbarnes checks the commit id20:42
tjaaltonbryce: I will take the crappy oem tablet with me tomorrow, so I can play with the patches20:43
tjaaltonand update relnotes accordingly20:43
jbarnesbryce: yeah 2.6.3 has the sony panel fix so you can remove that bit20:43
bryceokies20:43
brycetjaalton: awesome thanks20:44
jbarnesbryce: also, tv out properties and the sdvo tv stuff should be pretty easy to backport, you could ping yingying about getting that done maybe20:45
tormodbryce: re wiki: the link to fd.o 19274 is wrong20:52
brycejbarnes: is that strictly -intel stuff or does it require kernel changes?20:53
jbarnesfor non-kms they're just 2d driver updates20:53
brycetormod: ok thanks, what should it be linked to?20:54
* bryce hmms @ sru-ability of tv stuff20:54
jbarnesdon't know how much user demand you have for it20:55
jbarnesanyway just a thought since upstream has those bits20:55
bryceyeah20:55
brycewe've got one TV out properties related bug, but it's medium priority20:57
brycelooks like we don't have a lot of user demand for it; guess we'll just snag it for karmic when we merge20:59
tormodbryce: I googled for "frontbuffer rendering broken" and found 19174 :)21:10
