| Sarvatt | darn, it might have been good to mention somewhere like the changelog about the changes to DontZap handling with the updated xkeyboard-config bryce :D | 00:09 |
|---|---|---|
| Sarvatt | should I add it to the wiki maybe for the release notes? | 00:10 |
| Sarvatt | just having DontZap in xorg.conf isnt good enough to enable it anymore, need to setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp (you can map it to other things now as well and enable/disable in userspace) | 00:12 |
| bryce | Sarvatt: erf forgot about that | 00:12 |
| bryce | Sarvatt: yeah definitely need to get that documented | 00:12 |
| bryce | in fact I wonder if we ought to transition people... check if it is set in xorg.conf and then turn the option on for people | 00:13 |
| bryce | hrm | 00:13 |
| Sarvatt | thats a really good idea | 00:17 |
| james_w | we should make the dontzap package do the right thing as well | 00:29 |
| Sarvatt | its a checkbox option in the keyboard layout options now, would we even need the dontzap package anymore? | 01:03 |
| Sarvatt | "Key sequence to kill the X server" | 01:04 |
| Sarvatt | sent tseliot an email with a heads up about it getting updated in karmic today | 01:14 |
| bryce | Sarvatt: thanks | 02:13 |
| bryce | yeah the dontzap package becomes redundant | 02:14 |
| bryce | but it may still be of benefit in some cases | 02:14 |
| bryce | good to email alberto, he can take a look and decide. | 02:14 |
| hyperair | Sarvatt: i fell asleep waiting for fsck to finish (god knows why it triggered, i restarted it properly damnit! and i just fscked less than a frigging day ago! stupid ext4 >=( ), but anyway the stuff you told me to add to modules resulted in the black screen occurring *before* i could even type in my cryptsetup password | 03:13 |
| hyperair | cryptroot password i mean | 03:13 |
| hyperair | so i had to type it in blindly | 03:13 |
| hyperair | heh | 03:13 |
| Sarvatt | ah, how about booting with video=fbcon? | 03:13 |
| hyperair | Sarvatt: hmm i'll try that. kernel parameter right | 03:18 |
| Sarvatt | probably something to do with the whole cryptloop stuff :D | 03:18 |
| hyperair | Sarvatt: it doesn't blank out if usplash isn't on, by the way. | 03:18 |
| hyperair | if i boot without the 'splash' parameter, it doesn't blank out | 03:18 |
| Sarvatt | so I guess KMS has a problem with the cryptloop display stuff... | 03:21 |
| hyperair | Sarvatt: it does? | 03:23 |
| Sarvatt | apparently? its blacking out and not working under a real drmfb? | 03:23 |
| hyperair | Sarvatt: i don't really think so, because if i don't have that, the screen blanks out anyway, but *after* the cryptloop display stuff | 03:23 |
| Sarvatt | because you arent using the drmfb until later | 03:24 |
| hyperair | well yes, but how would KMS have issues with cryptloop? | 03:24 |
| hyperair | it doesn't exactly attempt to display anything, right? | 03:24 |
| hyperair | the cryptloop prompt is rendered by usplash | 03:25 |
| Sarvatt | doesnt it hook into usplash for the prompt? | 03:25 |
| Sarvatt | yeah | 03:25 |
| hyperair | as in, it talks to usplash | 03:25 |
| hyperair | hmm | 03:25 |
| hyperair | so you're saying that the usplash prompt causes problems with it? | 03:25 |
| hyperair | but why would it cause problems if it happened before i915 kicked in? | 03:25 |
| Sarvatt | because you dont use the drm fb until alot later normally (18 seconds in in your dmesg) | 03:26 |
| hyperair | but there aren't any further cryptloop prompts! | 03:27 |
| Sarvatt | just using intelfb or uvesafb or whatever it uses until then and it blacks out | 03:27 |
| hyperair | hmmm | 03:27 |
| hyperair | what does usplash use exactly? | 03:27 |
| Sarvatt | actually, looking at my bootcharts | 03:31 |
| Sarvatt | it looks like usplash in KMS just plain shuts off right after it starts and leaves the picture up | 03:31 |
| hyperair | what? | 03:32 |
| hyperair | O_O | 03:32 |
| Sarvatt | when i915 is built in and i have a KMS console up at 3 seconds in | 03:32 |
| Sarvatt | i should force a fsck and see if it shows the fsck stuff :D | 03:32 |
| hyperair | how bizarre O_o | 03:32 |
| hyperair | hmm | 03:32 |
| * hyperair is beginning to really hate fsck | 03:32 | |
| hyperair | 20 minutes for one round | 03:32 |
| hyperair | ugh | 03:32 |
| hyperair | what a pain | 03:32 |
| Sarvatt | my bootcharts without KMS have usplash going for a long time, with kms it stops 2 seconds after it starts and i dont get progress bars or anything | 03:33 |
| hyperair | i don't even know why my stupid /home loves to trigger fsck | 03:33 |
| hyperair | i se | 03:33 |
| hyperair | no progress bars eh | 03:33 |
| hyperair | then imo we should get usplash fixed before turning on KMS by default | 03:33 |
| hyperair | or remove it completely. | 03:33 |
| hyperair | no actually newbies have a tendency to think that black screen with scrolling text = spoilt computer | 03:34 |
| Sarvatt | probably the cryptloop :D | 03:34 |
| hyperair | meh | 03:34 |
| Sarvatt | (reason for the fscks i mean) | 03:34 |
| hyperair | no, i don't think so | 03:35 |
| hyperair | it never had an issue before this | 03:35 |
| hyperair | come to think of it, it never managed to unmount root because it was busy at the end of the shutdown cycle | 03:35 |
| hyperair | but cryptloop doesn't cache stuff does it | 03:37 |
| hyperair | it's pretty much synchronous in that all operations on it are written straight to the disk, unless i'm mistaken | 03:37 |
| Sarvatt | ext4 is marked needs fsck until its unmounted.. | 03:37 |
| Sarvatt | clears the flag when its unmounted cleanly | 03:38 |
| hyperair | which means /home is never unmounted cleanly | 03:39 |
| * hyperair facepalms | 03:39 | |
| hyperair | but hey i restarted it normally, surely the kernel should know to unmount all filesystems before shutting down *properly*?! | 03:39 |
| Sarvatt | shutdown script trying to unmount / before your cryptloop maybe? | 03:40 |
| hyperair | er doesn't it have to unmount / before cryptloop? | 03:40 |
| hyperair | either way if / needs fscking, i don't really care | 03:40 |
| hyperair | that takes at most 5 minutes | 03:40 |
| hyperair | i'm annoyed if /home needs fscking | 03:41 |
| hyperair | that takes at least 20 minutes | 03:41 |
| hyperair | ugh | 03:41 |
| Sarvatt | your cryptloop isnt somewhere on /? | 03:41 |
| hyperair | oh yeah it is | 03:41 |
| hyperair | it's on /dev/mapper | 03:41 |
| hyperair | /something | 03:41 |
| Sarvatt | i mean it might be trying to unmount the actual loop device before the file system inside is unmounted so that needs fsck, i had a similar problem with the shutdown scripts doing the kill wifi script before umountnfs by default.. | 03:49 |
| hyperair | no, you can't do something of that sort. cryptsetup does not allow you to do anything to the underlying block device before unmounting it | 03:50 |
| hyperair | and the LVM on top of cryptsetup won't allow that eitehr | 03:50 |
| Sarvatt | can you remove the loop module with it mounted? | 03:51 |
| hyperair | no i don't think you can | 03:51 |
| hyperair | it'll complain that it's "in use" | 03:51 |
| hyperair | also, some rounds of REISUB don't trigger an fsck, but some do | 03:51 |
| Sarvatt | how about the crypto module? | 03:51 |
| hyperair | hmm | 03:52 |
| hyperair | i think it would also complain about still being used | 03:52 |
| hyperair | lemme try | 03:52 |
| hyperair | actually come to think of it... what's the name of the module? O_o | 03:53 |
| hyperair | ah nevermind found it | 03:53 |
| Sarvatt | maybe add a sync to the shutdown script? | 03:53 |
| hyperair | module in use | 03:53 |
| hyperair | where is the shutdown script? O_o | 03:53 |
| tjaalton | xserver master switched back to zapping by default, so that the shortcut can be configured with xkeyboard-config 1.6 | 06:48 |
| tjaalton | I'm not sure there's much to migrate, other than documenting it | 06:49 |
| tjaalton | note that there's no shortcut defined by default | 06:49 |
| tjaalton | so it's effectively still off | 06:49 |
| tseliot | bryce: are you still there? | 08:35 |
| tseliot | nm | 08:43 |
| === crevette__ is now known as crevette | ||
| Ng | bah, rebooted this morning for a new kernel and my laptop wouldn't come out of dpms-off after lunch, had to do sysrq stuff | 15:59 |
| hyperair | Ng: that sounds fun. did you by any chance get to fsck in the dark later? | 16:41 |
| Ng | hyperair: heh, no, ext4 seemed to be happy just recovering things | 16:41 |
| hyperair | Ng: good for you. i had to sit through a 20 minute long fsck, faced with a black screen, because usplash doesn't like KMS. | 16:42 |
| Ng | ohh, there's an oops in my logs | 16:42 |
| hyperair | or KMS doesn't like usplash | 16:42 |
| hyperair | or something | 16:42 |
| hyperair | yeah there's always an oops when that happens | 16:42 |
| Ng | it's 915 related | 16:42 |
| hyperair | i couldn't capture it though, for some reason dmesg > dmesg.txt gave me a bloody blank file | 16:42 |
| Ng | which I guess isn't surprising | 16:42 |
| Ng | wow, multiple oopses | 16:43 |
| hyperair | heh | 16:43 |
| superm1 | hyperair, dmesg | tee dmesg.txt instead maybe then | 16:43 |
| Ng | I think they're all the same, some hung_task kernel thing | 16:43 |
| hyperair | superm1: i don't see how that would be any better | 16:43 |
| superm1 | well if plain ol 'dmesg' doesn't work, then i guess it wouldn't be any better | 16:43 |
| hyperair | heh | 16:44 |
| Ng | do we want bugs from i915 on the kernel? | 16:44 |
| Ng | (I would assume so) | 16:44 |
| hyperair | i would think so too | 16:46 |
| Ng | huh, the backtrace looks a lot like bug #384865 which is 9.04 | 16:46 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 384865 in linux "kernel oops with intel graphics when screensaver turns screen off" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/384865 | 16:46 |
| * Ng facepalms, it's 9.10 | 16:46 | |
| Ng | I guess this should be upstreamed | 16:48 |
| hyperair | heh | 16:57 |
| Ng | upstreamed and linked | 17:01 |
| hyperair | woohoo | 17:01 |
| Ng | bit weird having it in the kernel package in ubuntu and the intel video driver in bugs.freedesktop.org, but whatever | 17:01 |
| Duke` | Sarvatt: now intel KMS on jaunty works without xorg.conf file! | 18:10 |
| hyperair | since when did KMS require a xorg.conf? | 18:17 |
| hyperair | wasn't it some kernel module option? | 18:18 |
| crevette | hey a | 18:19 |
| Duke` | hyperair: previously, xorg server was trying to load i810 module instead of intel driver and failed... so I had to force manually the intel driver in a simple xorg.conf file | 18:21 |
| hyperair | i see | 18:21 |
| hyperair | great then =p | 18:21 |
| jcristau | Duke`: sounds unrelated to kms.. | 18:23 |
| jcristau | also doesn't sound like a problem, but meh | 18:23 |
| crevette | I've a problem with KMS, I boot with grub i915.modeset=1 ,I can see the splash screen but no gdm | 18:23 |
| hyperair | that sounds like the opposite of what i get | 18:23 |
| tjaalton | bryce: has the nouveau testing been with kms? our snapshot of the driver is quite old too | 18:23 |
| Duke` | jcristau: yeah was strange, but it did only when I enabled KMS | 18:23 |
| hyperair | i get gdm but i don't get the usplash | 18:23 |
| jcristau | Duke`: loading i810 was not the problem then. loading fbdev might have been. | 18:24 |
| crevette | my hardware is described at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting/ (bmillemathias) | 18:24 |
| Duke` | jcristau: ah yes, that was probably that | 18:24 |
| Duke` | http://pastebin.com/m20b737fc | 18:25 |
| crevette | my Xorg is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting/ | 18:25 |
| crevette | my Xorg is http://bmm80.free.fr/misc/X/Xorg.0.log rather | 18:25 |
| bryce | (sorry, was in #ubuntu-desktop meeting) | 18:35 |
| bryce | tjaalton: not going so good, so far. Getting black screens on 2 cards, and failsafe mode on the third. | 18:36 |
| crevette | hey no problem bryce, I was supposed you were in meeting, irc is low latency by nature | 18:36 |
| crevette | :) | 18:36 |
| bryce | Ng: for bug reports against the kernel that involve X issues such as KMS, etc. what we're doing is tagging them 'xorg-needs-kernel-fix' | 18:36 |
| bryce | Ng: this let's us find the X/kernel bugs more easily in the huge kernel bug pile | 18:37 |
| Ng | aha | 18:37 |
| Ng | bryce: thanks, added the tag | 18:38 |
| crevette | I didn't opened a bug yet, what should I attach as files to the bug (I already have Xorg.0.log) | 18:42 |
| crevette | and to which component should I the bug against? (xorg, intel driver, kernel?) | 18:42 |
| Sarvatt | thats an xorg-server problem crevette | 18:52 |
| Sarvatt | the exact problem just fixed for Duke` :D | 18:52 |
| Ng | now I just need to find someone to bribe/pester into fixing the problem :D | 18:53 |
| tjaalton | bryce: but is it with kms? would it be different without? | 18:53 |
| crevette | Sarvatt, what is the problem I arrived a bit late ... :) | 18:57 |
| Sarvatt | http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=commit;h=daf26a14473563aa7368c93246f483b11e009d23 | 18:57 |
| crevette | ah yeah, it seems to be that | 18:58 |
| crevette | because I see also the failsafe thingy trying to launch X just after and failing also | 18:59 |
| crevette | this patch was not sent upstreamN | 18:59 |
| jcristau | the patch is a hack | 18:59 |
| bryce | tjaalton: yeah this testing was with apw's kms kernel; I need to re-test with the stock kernel and !kms, and also probably should pull newer -nouveau bits | 19:01 |
| bryce | tjaalton: but so far the problems are making me lose some confidence on how far we can get with -nouveau this cycle | 19:01 |
| Sarvatt | well I got it working fully including 3d via gallium, some changes were needed. you need to drop the dependancy on linux-nouveau-source in the nouveau ddx when you use the KMS kernel, and the KMS kernel doesnt work in non KMS mode for me | 19:04 |
| Sarvatt | bryce: were you booting with nouveau.modeset=1 on the grub command line? | 19:07 |
| bryce | Sarvatt: no, I assumed the kernel was set up with that by default | 19:07 |
| Sarvatt | if i didnt use that it would try to boot in non KMS which wasnt working at all, dmesg flooded with errors and a black screen when x starts | 19:08 |
| bryce | ah, perhaps that's what I'm seeing ... trying | 19:09 |
| crevette | Sarvatt, so the fix will be available soon | 19:09 |
| tjaalton | bryce: ok.. I should try with my 8600GT | 19:09 |
| bryce | [ 0.000000] Unknown boot option `nouveau.modeset=1': ignoring | 19:11 |
| Sarvatt | did you drop the nouveau kernel source from the ddx install bryce? | 19:11 |
| bryce | this is with 2.6.30-8-generic #10~kms2-Ubuntu | 19:12 |
| Sarvatt | because if you built the kernel module with dkms just installing it normally you'll get the non KMS compatable one | 19:12 |
| Sarvatt | do you see symbol version mismatch errors in dmesg? you built an external module thats overriding the KMS compatable one if so | 19:14 |
| crevette | is the "i915.modeset=1" boot option supported in the karmic kernel, because I have the same error message than bryce | 19:14 |
| Sarvatt | i915 isnt in the initrd by default so it gives the error trying to pass it early | 19:14 |
| jcristau | bryce: that message is expected | 19:15 |
| jcristau | bryce: just means i915 is not built-in | 19:15 |
| bryce | how about "[ 25.697743] nouveau: Unknown parameter `modeset'" which appears later? | 19:15 |
| tjaalton | or nouveau, in this case | 19:15 |
| jcristau | tjaalton: yeah, that :) | 19:16 |
| tjaalton | bryce: maybe it's the dkms version Sarvatt mentioned | 19:16 |
| bryce | there are no messages in dmesg about mismatched versions | 19:16 |
| bryce | fwiw, I didn't build this kernel, this is from apw's package. | 19:17 |
| Sarvatt | did you install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau? because if you did it overrided the nouveau kernel module that has KMS support with the one from nouveau-kernel-source | 19:18 |
| bryce | ah, that could be; yes I updated -nouveau after installing the kernel. Will try redoing that | 19:19 |
| Sarvatt | unless you rebuilt xserver-xorg-video-nouveau without the linux-nouveau-source dependancy dropped | 19:19 |
| Sarvatt | err with it dropped I mean | 19:19 |
| Sarvatt | i'll make a ppa with everything right now | 19:20 |
| tjaalton | just force purge -source, and remove the module it built | 19:20 |
| bryce | nouveau-kernel-source: | 19:23 |
| bryce | Installed: 0.0.11+git20090515-0ubuntu1 | 19:23 |
| tjaalton | yep, that would suggest that it overrides the module from the kernel | 19:23 |
| bryce | tjaalton: but if I try purging it, it also tries to remove -nouveau itself | 19:23 |
| bryce | The following packages will be REMOVED: | 19:23 |
| bryce | nouveau-kernel-source* xserver-xorg-video-nouveau* | 19:23 |
| bryce | I'll just try reinstalling the kernel over the top first | 19:24 |
| tjaalton | that's why I said force purge :) | 19:24 |
| tjaalton | or use what Sarvatt will provide | 19:24 |
| tjaalton | or build -nouveau without the dep | 19:24 |
| Sarvatt | it'll probably take me about 30 minutes to get everything together, will be here though https://edge.launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/nouveau | 19:25 |
| bryce | tjaalton: that was with apt-get purge -f nouveau-kernel-source | 19:26 |
| tjaalton | dpkg --purge --force-depends nouveau-kernel-source? | 19:26 |

| tjaalton | heh | 19:30 |
| tjaalton | dropping the dependency should work | 19:31 |
| bryce | although I notice from the changelog, that nouveau.modeset=1 is probably unnecessary - * NOUVEAU: Pull in the Nouveau driver and enable KMS by default. | 19:31 |
| Sarvatt | ok everything uploaded to the PPA, just gotta wait to be built | 19:34 |

| Sarvatt | https://edge.launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/nouveau | 19:39 |
| tjaalton | bryce: ok, and what happens then on boot? | 19:39 |
| bryce | tjaalton: [ 22.776767] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: display fifo hung :( | 19:41 |
| bryce | heh, smilies in dmesg | 19:41 |
| jcristau | progress! | 19:41 |
| jcristau | :) | 19:41 |
| tjaalton | hehe | 19:41 |
| bryce | I had a brownish flash before it went black this time | 19:41 |
| Sarvatt | yeah thats without nouveau.modeset=1, i actually add options nouveau modeset=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf as well | 19:41 |
| bryce | alright, from the changelog it sounds like that's not necessary, but easy enough to test | 19:42 |
| bryce | SWEET | 19:43 |
| bryce | console switched to the tiny fonts | 19:43 |
| bryce | wow, login screen is fucked though | 19:43 |
| Sarvatt | oh yeah, you also have to add nouveau to xorg.conf | 19:43 |
| tjaalton | yeah it tries to use nv | 19:43 |
| bryce | mm, think I did that already, lemme check | 19:44 |
| bryce | Driver "nouveau" | 19:44 |
| bryce | Option "Randr12" "on" | 19:44 |
| bryce | yep | 19:44 |
| Sarvatt | its possible whatever driver you're using doesnt work with the kernel nouveau though, they bumped the api around 0605, the one in my PPA should work | 19:44 |
| tjaalton | releases ftw | 19:45 |
| bryce | ok, well it's a *very* dark screen, but i could make out gdm's login box, so did my credentials and it started the desktop session, however the screen is fully blank (backlight is on, screen is kind of off-black) | 19:45 |
| Sarvatt | oops, silly me, uploaded the ddx before the drm was finished building on x64 and lpia | 19:48 |
| bryce | [ 23.372708] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Unhandled PFIFO_INTR - 0x00000010 | 19:48 |
| Sarvatt | i386 is fine though, dont know if you're on x64 or not | 19:50 |
| bryce | murphy would have it no other way ;-) | 19:51 |
| Sarvatt | rebuilding amd64 now | 19:51 |
| Sarvatt | i should make a livecd for this :D | 19:51 |
| bryce | well, I need food anyway, so hopefully the amd64 stuff will be there when I get back | 19:51 |
| Sarvatt | amd64 or i386 for the livecd? | 19:57 |
| Sarvatt | well getting i386 because i dont think the script can handle building a amd64 one on my i386 machine i'm doing it on right now :D | 19:59 |
| Sarvatt | so i've gotta add nouveau to xorg.conf, and i'll echo options nouveau modeset=1 to /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf, sure i'm forgetting a step... | 20:00 |
| Sarvatt | hmm i force it to EXA and use option noaccel false too on my nouveau kms machine | 20:02 |
| Sarvatt | but i think thats why i have problems with nouveau gallium | 20:02 |
| Sarvatt | ahh heck, Recommends: still pulls in nouveau-kernel-source, reuploading another with it dropped completely | 20:36 |
| Sarvatt | glad i tried it out before building the livecd :D | 20:36 |
| Sarvatt | yeah i have to pass nouveau.modeset=1 to grub every time or it wont boot, even with options nouveau modeset=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau.conf | 20:48 |
| Sarvatt | there an easy way to make that the default option on a live cd? | 20:48 |
| tjaalton | not sure | 20:51 |
| Sarvatt | ok heres logs of everything working http://sarvatt.com/downloads/nouveau-kms.txt | 20:55 |
| tjaalton | you've got gallium there too? | 20:56 |
| Sarvatt | yep | 20:59 |
| Sarvatt | not packaged, built it locally | 20:59 |
| tjaalton | ok | 20:59 |
| Sarvatt | used ./configure --enable-glx-tls --disable-egl --disable-asm --with-dri-drivers= --enable-gallium-nouveau --disable-gallium-intel --disable-gallium-radeon --with-state-trackers=glx,dri --with-demos=xdemos,demos,trivial,tests | 21:00 |
| Sarvatt | then I use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/source/mesa-7.6.0~git20090613.18af7c38/lib LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=~/source/mesa-7.6.0~git20090613.18af7c38/lib/gallium <program> to run it | 21:01 |
| Sarvatt | hate these darn HP bioses, i need to fix the dsdt for every single one i have | 21:04 |
| Sarvatt | probably should mention i cant run anything more than glxinfo with gallium :D | 21:06 |
| Sarvatt | ahh ok isolinux/gfxboot.cfg you can append things to the command line | 21:23 |
| Sarvatt | with no xorg.conf, is there any way to tell xserver to prefer the nouveau driver, or am I going to have to make the xorg.conf only work for nouveau on the livecd? | 21:33 |
| tjaalton | not without patching the server | 21:39 |
| Sarvatt | can I add multiple device sections and have it go down the list to find a working one? | 21:41 |
| tjaalton | hmm yes | 21:42 |
| tjaalton | that's what the server does, in practise | 21:42 |
| Sarvatt | http://sarvatt.com/downloads/xorg.conf.txt | 21:45 |
| Sarvatt | that look ok to you? or do i need screens too | 21:45 |
| tjaalton | not sure, have you tried it? | 21:45 |
| jcristau | Sarvatt: yeah iirc you need one Screen for each Device | 21:49 |
| tjaalton | try running without one, see what the logfile looks like | 21:49 |
| jcristau | otherwise it'll just use the first Device | 21:50 |
| Sarvatt | i just stepped out for a few minutes and dont have another machine handy to try it, and i'm almost done building the livecd so it'd be a shame to restart x to test it on this | 21:52 |
| Sarvatt | would adding screen 0 to each device work possibly? | 21:53 |
| Sarvatt | ahh i'm just going to add the nouveau device, if anyone wants to use it on something else they can fix it in failsafe :D | 21:54 |
| Sarvatt | sure is fun building the squashfs on an atom cpu, hope my battery lasts | 21:57 |
| Sarvatt | building it based on https://edge.launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/xorg-testing so can test xserver 1.6.99.1 too | 22:02 |
| Sarvatt | need to update the xserver master hooks,because alot more builds now, just kdrive having problems | 22:03 |
| tjaalton | 1.6.99.1? | 22:11 |
| tjaalton | I see no such release | 22:11 |
| Sarvatt | not released yet, xserver master branch | 22:16 |
| Sarvatt | making the liveusb now to see if it works then i'll upload it | 22:16 |
| tjaalton | ah, so inventing release numbers then?-) | 22:22 |
| Sarvatt | no thats the version it reports | 22:33 |
| Sarvatt | no go on the livecd, xorg.conf gets overwritten with a default one on first boot | 22:34 |
| Sarvatt | AC_INIT([xorg-server], 1.6.99.1, [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=xorg], xorg-server) | 22:35 |
| tjaalton | Sarvatt: ah, ok | 22:37 |
| Sarvatt | cant figure out whats making it recreate a default xorg.conf, hmm | 22:43 |
| tjaalton | xserver-xorg.postinst | 22:46 |
| tjaalton | casper runs that | 22:46 |
| tjaalton | forgot that it's still not fixed in karmic | 22:47 |
| Sarvatt | hmm so if i comment the stuff from remove_conffile_prepare () { down to run () { out of xserver-xorg.postinst it should keep it? | 22:52 |
| tjaalton | maybe | 22:55 |
| jcristau | Sarvatt: rm xserver-xorg.postinst might be even better, for the live cd? | 22:56 |
| Sarvatt | even easier, will try that | 22:56 |
| jcristau | hrm. unless it still does something important. i'd need to check :) | 22:58 |
| jcristau | ah, right, it does the ln -s /usr/bin/Xorg /etc/X11/X | 22:59 |
| jcristau | but that probably doesn't need to be re-run on the live system | 22:59 |
| Sarvatt | yeah theres a link there already, phew | 23:01 |
| Sarvatt | ok i have a working livecd now, problem is you need to manually remove splash from the startup line. dont know if i should rebuild it with splash disabled by default or just note that :D | 23:49 |
| Sarvatt | ahh i can rebuild it manually without rebuilding the squashfs | 23:51 |
