rippskernel 2.6.31-1 broke my ati drivers00:12

ghindoHrm, I'm still on GDM 2.20...should I force an upgrade?00:15
Ian_Cornewell you're using karmic  to test new stuff?00:16
rippsDoes anybody here know how to fix my radeon drivers? I can't use dri, it the xorg.log says something about radeon.o is 2.0.0, but 1.17.0 or newer  is needed; disabling dri00:16

ubottuUbuntu bug 394985 in fglrx-installer "fglrx: Unknown symbol find_task_by_vpid" [Undecided,New]06:11
DanaGyargh.06:11
rippsOkay, my list of things that are bugging me right now: 1) I have to enter a password to use my wifi.  2) I have to enter the exact same password a second time to mount my ntfs harddisks.  3) I have to unplug and replug my wacom to get it working.06:17
SeveredCrossripps: You can blame DeviceKit for #2.06:18
SeveredCrossNot sure about #1, I don't have that issue.06:18
SeveredCrossActually, DeviceKit/PolicyKit.06:18
rippsSeveredCross: It's a gnome-keyring thing06:18
rippsI'm actually just unlocking my keyring06:18
SeveredCrossAh. Hmm, mine never asks me to unlock my keyring after login.06:18
SeveredCrossFor mounting disks, I get asked by DeviceKit every time.06:19
rippsSeveredCross: do you use autologin?06:19
SeveredCrossNope.06:19
rippsSeveredCross: see, gnome-keyring takes your password there06:19
rippsSince I have autologin, it needs credentials06:19
SeveredCrossAh-ha, that would explain it06:19
rippsAnd I'm okay with that to an extent, it's the fact that have to type my password twice from two seperate prompts when I login06:20
rippsI think you can unsecure the gnome-keyring, and have it work without a password, but I forgot how to do that.06:21
Ian_Corneit asks that when you give a password for the first time :p06:23
DanaGugh, anything I send with notify-send stays up for like 5 or 10 seconds.06:23
DanaGI thought it was only supposed to stay up for 1/2 a second!06:24
Ian_Corneaha :p06:25
Ian_Corne       -t, --expire-time=TIME06:25
Ian_Corne              Specifies  the  timeout  in  milliseconds at which to expire the06:25
Ian_Corne              notification.06:25
DanaG-t 75006:26
DanaG750 milliseconds is what I specify.06:26
DanaG11 SECONDS is what I get.06:27
Ian_Corneyeah doesn't seem to work :p06:28
rippsDanaG: it seems notify-osd ignores the time specified by notify-send06:28
DanaGYeah, but multiplying it by like 20... is absurd.06:28
rippsDanaG: It does 10 seconds, every time06:29
DanaGI thought they said the minimum should be like 500 milliseconds.06:29
DanaGI have a script that does this on a keypress:           notify-send -t 750 "Ambient Light Sensor" "OFF" -i stock_brightness #gnome-brightness-applet06:30
rippsDanaG: I think that can only be specified via code or dbus... or something... I'm not entirely clear on the specification...06:30
DanaGIf I want to toggle the thing twice... I have to wait 20 seconds before I know the final state AND it goes away.06:30
rippsDanaG: I'm not entirely sure if the timing can be controled yet, but if it can, I'm pretty sure it would have to be done directly. Your best to file a bug or ask a ubuntu-dev06:31
rippsIan_Corne: do you know how to remove a gnome-keyring password once I've made it?06:32
SeveredCrossripps: Seahorse.06:33
DanaGman notify-osd06:35
DanaGNo manual entry for notify-osd06:35
DanaGthaaanks.06:35
rippsNotify-osd is still in a stat of flux, things are still changing and features being changed and added. So right now, it's kinda hard to get a bead on it's api06:36
DanaG10 seconds is still pretty ridiculous for something triggered by a key.06:38
Ian_Corneripps: sorry i don't know06:39
Ian_Cornethere's a menu in applications->accesories->passwords and encry...06:40
DanaGoh yeah, and the notification title "Ambient Light Sensor" gets wrapped to two lines.  Any way to make it fit on one line, without making it look stupid (as in "Amb. Light Sensor" looks stupid)?06:41
DanaGoh, just Amb (with no dot) works.06:41
Ian_Cornebbl06:42
DanaGor just "Brightness Sensor"06:42
DanaGeh, looks best as "AmbientLightSensor" -- no spaces, but the proper name.06:45
DanaGAnyway... any chance of getting Ubuntu to patch find_task_by_vpid back into the kernel, temporarily?06:45
DanaGFor now, I'll just build my own ALSA for the 2.6.30 kernel.06:46
DanaGNifty thing with new GDM: you can make volume control keys work there.06:49
DanaGJust have to enable the media-keys plugin in the gconf thingy.06:49
DanaGhmm, ALSA calls my USB sound card an "Audio Advantage Roadie", but Turtle Beach calls it SRM, not Roadie.06:52
DanaGI believe the only difference between the two was the color of the case, though.06:52
DanaGugh, ALSA git server is being dog-slow.07:23
DanaG20 kilobytes per second.07:23
Ian_Corne:p07:24
DanaGwell, now it's 100 kilobytes per second.  Better, but still sucky.07:28
DanaGeh, I give up.07:30
DanaGI wish Ubuntu would temporarily patch that missing symbol back into the kernel.07:30
DanaG.. so then I could use 2.6.31 with fglrx.07:30
Ian_Cornehmm07:30
DanaGanyway, bye for now.07:31

Medo42I'm using the Xubuntu karmic alpha and gdm stopped working.14:10
Medo42I can start an x session manually as root when I kill gdm, with "sudo startx", but gdm only shows a black screen with movable "busy" mouse cursor.14:12

gnomefreakdoes that help14:13
Medo42No, same result.14:13

Medo42I also tried going back to the 2.6.30 kernel without any change14:14

Le-Chuck_ITAI told you that I see sort of a black vga cursor disturbing my X, but there is more14:38
Le-Chuck_ITAyou should see my console (tty1...n)14:38
Le-Chuck_ITAI have pieces of X windows over there :)14:38
Le-Chuck_ITAplease tell me you already know. If I have to report such a bug it will be a great headache14:39

rwwLe-Chuck_ITA: There's more information and a fix at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/39426314:43
ubottuUbuntu bug 394263 in linux "2.6.31 kernel breaks 3d for radeon x1600" [Undecided,Confirmed]14:44
Le-Chuck_ITAgreat14:44
Le-Chuck_ITAI love you14:44
Le-Chuck_ITAah it's just kernel, good14:44
rwwthere's a problem with the radeon driver and kernel mode-setting that causes a bunch of problems, including tty1...n not working, blocks on the screen, accelleration not working... that modprobe.d entry disables KMS which fixes all of that.14:45
gnomefreakand i thought nvidia was in bad shape14:45
Le-Chuck_ITArww: if you have an ATI, I never understood the plethora of driver options available. Basically I should stay with wathever ubuntu choses for me?14:45
* gnomefreak be back later to check on build14:46
Le-Chuck_ITAI mean the choice of the driver, not the options of a specific driver14:46
Le-Chuck_ITArww thanks!14:47
rwwLe-Chuck_ITA: it depends on your card. If the Hardware Drivers utility tells you that you can use the non-free ATI driver, that might be worth a look if you need 3D acceleration (compiz) and don't have it by default. Otherwise, yeah, I'd stay with the default14:47
rww(and the non-free ATI driver doesn't support a bunch of cards now, so don't bother with it if Hardware Drivers doesn't list it)14:48
Le-Chuck_ITAI have 3d accelleration by default, *very* fast for an old laptop, the only problem is some wrong video frequency that sometimes makes  my screen dark for a couple of seconds14:48
Le-Chuck_ITAand I can live with it14:49
rwwLe-Chuck_ITA: then I'd stay with what you have :)14:49
Le-Chuck_ITAwhat is KMS?14:49
rwwLe-Chuck_ITA: KMS = kernel mode-setting = setting up the graphics card inside the kernel at the beginning of boot, rather than when Xorg starts14:50
Le-Chuck_ITAis this the thing that caused my consoles not to be 80x25 anymore?14:50
rwwLe-Chuck_ITA: possibly. I never got it working right (it breaks my consoles), so I don't know if it does that.14:52
Le-Chuck_ITArww: reboot time, thanks again14:53
rwwgnomefreak: well nvidia's free drivers don't even attempt KMS yet, as far as I know ;)14:53
rwwoh, i lie, apparently they reverse-engineered it in nouveau. nifty.14:54
gnomefreakrww: not sure but i guess from last comment they do14:55
gnomefreakthey dont work nor does the 173 driver in our PPA or repos but upstream works14:55
Le-Chuck_ITArww: kms *is* responsible for the high-resolution ttys14:56
Le-Chuck_ITArww: now I know because I rebooted and they are back to good old 80x25. The high resolution ones are extremely slow on all computers I've seen them on. I hope some day the developers will change their mind on this.14:56
Le-Chuck_ITAAnother question: is Xorg *very* crashy for you since a week or less?14:59
Le-Chuck_ITAit tends to crash while I type14:59
rwwLe-Chuck_ITA: nope, it's working fine here. Is it still happening after putting in that modprobe.d line?15:00
Le-Chuck_ITArww: it's happening on two different pcs. The modprobe line solved all the new problems except this one15:01
Le-Chuck_ITAbut the other pc has an intel card. I suspect it's gdm15:01
rwwLe-Chuck_ITA: That'd be the other thing that changed last week, yeah.15:01

bmungerMesa DRI R20021:10
bmungerwow says the module is missing, probably using vesa, just installed the xorg module for fglrx21:11
kklimondayofel: thanks21:12
bmungeryofel: I installed the xorg fglrx module and restarted, now when it loads X it stays black and I cant switch to another terminal21:16
Sarvattfglrx isnt working with 2.6.31 yet21:16
bmungeroh great, I just screwed myself then.21:17
yofelI guess X segfaulted. There should be an option to repair X in recovery mode21:17
bmungeralright21:17
yofellike I said, I don't know much about atk21:17
Sarvattdo you have 2.6.30-10 to fall back to?21:17
bmungeryea I think so21:17
yofel*ati21:17
Sarvattbest to stick with that for now21:17
bmungersounds good I will give that a shot21:18
bmunger30-8 is last I have21:18
bmungershould work21:18
Sarvattwait R200, fglrx doesnt even support that21:19
Sarvattsorry, should have read the whole chat log21:19
bmungeroh21:19
Sarvattfglrx only supports R600+ now21:19
bmungerprobably why that kernel doesnt help21:19
Sarvattwhat kernel were you on?21:20
bmungernewest21:20
bmunger31.2 i think21:20
Sarvatt2.6.31-1 had radeon KMS enabled by default which doesnt have dri support in karmic yet21:20
Sarvattso you'd want to boot with radeon.modeset=0 added to grub21:20
Sarvattthat should be fixed and you should have dri support in 2.6.31-2 but it might not be, i would add it just incase21:21
bmungerwould that help with performance21:21
Sarvattyou can add it to /etc/default/grub21:22
Sarvattin the part that says GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="something"21:22
Sarvattjust add radeon.modeset=0 to the end of it, then run sudo update-grub2 afterwards21:22
Sarvattyeah it'll help performance ALOT21:22
bmungerremoving fglrx first21:23
Sarvattyep21:23
Sarvattcan just remove xorg.conf entirely, shouldnt need one anymore21:24
Sarvattyou'd want to uninstall fglrx from your system though21:24
bmungerOk made the changes, rebooting21:28
bmungerit says unknown option about the modeset21:29
Sarvattyeah thats normal, it still works21:30
bmungerok21:30
bmungerperformance is still the same21:31
Sarvattupload a dmesg and /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin?21:31
dupondjelotsa new updates today :)21:31
bmungerSarvatt: dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/211517/21:33
Sarvattdmesg looks fine21:34
bmungerSarvatt: Xorg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/211519/21:34
Sarvattthat looks fine too, its most likely just that the card is slow and thats the best performance you can hope to get on it right now21:38
Sarvattone last thing, can you do a cat /proc/mtrr and pastebin that?21:38
bmungerok21:38
bmungerSarvatt: mtrr: http://paste.ubuntu.com/211523/21:39
bmungerI know about the mtrr issue with jaunty intel21:40
Sarvattyep the performance is as good as you can get right now :(21:40
bmungerdoesn't seem to be the same here21:40
bmungerdang21:40
bmungerit's not so nice21:40
Sarvattare you sure it isnt any better? it should have been really messed up on 2.6.31-121:40
bmungerI was showing it off and it just ran like crap21:40
Sarvattdoes glxinfo say its using R200 or software rasterizer?21:41
bmungerwell when I installed it from alpha 2, I went directly to the terminal, bypassing X, then updated and rebooted21:41
bmungersays direct rendering21:42
bmungerif thats what you mean21:42
Sarvattthe opengl renderer string21:42
Sarvattyou can have direct rendering with software rasterizer21:43
Sarvattwhat you may want to do is install driconf and lower the options so its faster21:43
Turlhi, any special channel for networking/ufw support?21:43
bmungerMesa DRI R200 AGP 4x21:44
Sarvattset it to never sync to vblank, lower it to 16 bit depth in there21:44
Sarvattand maybe change the TCL to prefer hardware first21:44

Shane_FaganHey im having a little problem. I was installing updates to the kernel and ubuntu went to the login screen for some reason and now I cant install the update.22:16
hggdhShane_Fagan, on karmic?22:17
Shane_FaganYep22:17
Shane_FaganIll pastebin the error im getting22:18
hggdhprobably the gdm update -- 2.26.1 had an issue (solved on -0ubuntu3) where it unilaterally closed or opened a *new* gdm session22:18
Shane_Faganhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/211534/22:18
Shane_FaganOh but it broke updates to the kernel22:19
Shane_FaganSo how would I be able to fix that22:19
hggdhhold on, let me see the pastebin22:19
hggdhShane_Fagan, kernel 2.27 is *not* karmic22:19
hggdh2.6.27, I mean22:19
Shane_FaganI am on karmic22:19
billybigrigiPoRn: ubuntu-bug APPNAME22:20
Shane_FaganThat was just an old one I think that wasnt removed22:20
=== funkeh is now known as funkyHat
iPoRnallready submited the bug22:21
Shane_Fagancurrent kernel on my system is 2.6.31-1 generic22:21
hggdhShane_Fagan, what do you have on /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf?22:21
rwwShane_Fagan: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-July/000586.html was posted to ubuntu-devel-announce today. If you're using karmic, you really should be subscribed to that list.22:21
hggdhso far it does not sound like a critical issue, Shane_Fagan. What happens after this error?22:22
Shane_FaganI am on that list22:22
Shane_FaganNothing I think it already removed it22:23
charlie-tca__hggdh: I have to say if a person is running Xubuntu karmic, that gdm upgrade will cause the xserver not to start22:23
Shane_FaganIt says its not there in the error22:23
rwwsudo touch /lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/volatile/22:23
rwwsorry, mkdir, not touch22:23
Shane_FaganHmmm ill restart and see if that fixes it22:23
hggdhcharlie-tca__, that's even worse than I thought, then...22:24
charlie-tca__seems to be an issue with the xubuntu gdm screen and the upgrade22:24
hggdha reboot resolves it?22:24
charlie-tca__two fresh installs later, no reboot fixes it22:25
hggdhugh!22:25
charlie-tca__The only fix I got is not to install gdm 2.26.1-0ubuntu322:25
Shane_Faganrww: That didnt work22:25
charlie-tca__At least it seems to limited to Xubuntu22:26
Shane_FaganHmm brb just going to try restarting22:26
hggdhShane_Fagan, do you still have 2.6.27 installed?22:26
billybigrigcharlie-tca__: who said not to install 0ubuntu3?22:27
charlie-tca__I did, If you are running Xubuntu22:27
charlie-tca__I did two fresh installs before I figured it out22:27
hggdhcharlie-tca__, I have xfce and gnome; I was able to restart nicely on gnome. I will try xfce now22:28
charlie-tca__You are using the gnome gdm screen then22:28
hggdhand you?22:28

charlie-tca__Xubuntu gdm screen22:28
hggdhcourse22:28
shane_faganOk no luck the restart didnt fix the problem22:30
hggdhshane_fagan, per the pastebin, your issue seems to be related to the initramfs config file22:30

hggdhshane_fagan, http://pastebin.ca/148614122:35
hggdhthat's bizarre...22:35
shane_faganIf I add that on to my one do you think it will work?22:37
hggdhit is a good chance. I wonder what else may be hosed, though22:38
shane_faganNope still errors22:39
shane_faganHmmm the linux kernel update too isnt right22:39
shane_faganit should be 2.6.31-2 generic22:39
shane_faganim on -122:40
robin0800shane_fagan that ones got a few bugs22:40
shane_faganYep22:41
shane_faganIll file a bug I think and see if a kernel developer can help22:41
robin0800shane_fagan can't you upgrade to 222:42
shane_faganNo the gdm update made that update fail22:42
hggdhshane_fagan, the error on initramfs does not seem to be related22:43
shane_faganI know but when gdm logged me out it broke the 2.6.31-2-generic update22:44
shane_faganBecause it was halfway through the install of the linux update when gdm logged me out22:45
robin0800shane_fagan you could try sudo dpkg --configure -a22:45
shane_faganDid that already didnt help22:45

hggdhkklimonda, no, the only changes are in Edit/Preferences/Mail Prefs/General22:51

hggdhkklimonda, just checked on Evo, and even on gconf only these two fonts can be set22:54
kklimondahggdh: good lord..22:54
kklimondathis default font is the ugliest font i've seen in my life o.O22:54
hggdhkklimonda, what happens on Edit/Prefs/Mail Prefs/General?22:55
hggdh(the default is Gnome's)22:55
kklimondaI have changed them both22:55

hggdhshane_fagan, just the update-initramfs.conf -- see http://pastebin.ca/148614122:57

Q-FUNKthe 2.6.31 kernel oopses during bootup, near the end of the initrd loading. (both -1 and -2 oops).  how would I go about logging what happens to help the kernel team debug this?22:59
hggdh(and bllody evo git is barfing when I change the font :-(22:59
kklimondahggdh: btw - do you know if evo devs are working on some major overhaul of gui? :/23:00
hggdhkklimonda, there is work in progress for taking out bonobo, and there is anjal -- an evolution for the netbook. But I am not aware of a gui overhaul23:01
hggdh*very* not cool. Now my Evo 2.26.3 crashed23:02
Q-FUNKah, it seems that the last 2.6.30 works, so the regression must be since 2.6.3123:09
hggdhkklimonda, but I *did* change the fonts, and I did *not* see the changes23:10
kklimondahggdh: I think you have to restart Evolution for changes to take the effect23:11
hggdhI did... will do it again, though (last one crashed)23:12
kklimondahggdh: also as I said - the font used to display subjects in messages list can't be changed and the default one is used..23:12
kklimonda(the one set in gnome settings..)23:12
hggdhkklimonda, I confirm. Care to open a bug?23:14
