Sarvatteww, nasty crash when using nvidia binary drivers with fullscreen flash in firefox 3.5 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46943900:03
ubottuMozilla bug 469439 in Plug-ins "Crash when enabling fullscreen flash video [@ @0x110430 ]" [Critical,Assigned]00:03
superm1Ng, because for karmic it's not getting any care to "keep" working per UDS discussions00:53
superm1its just around in case it needs to be revived because it's easier to keep the arch up and "running" than re-bootstrapping it00:53
superm1Sarvatt, apparently that happens with AMD drivers too apparently00:54
superm1if you LD_PRELOAD libGL.so.1 it works okay though00:54
Sarvatthmm something changed.. xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.7.99.901+git20090708.40e7c950-0ubuntu0sarvatt.dsc: Version older than that in the archive. 2:2.7.99.901+git20090708.40e7c950-0ubuntu0sarvatt <= 2:2.7.99.901+git20090708.0402f4f3-0ubuntu0sarvatt01:28

Sarvattstopped reading past the . or something?01:30
brycepossibly, not sure01:31
Sarvattwill have to look over the huge dpkg changelogs01:31
Sarvattodd that the .r1 trick still works01:36
Sarvatt OK: xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.12.99+git20090708.r1.8c03c1fd.orig.tar.gz01:36
Sarvattahh ati is still broken because of the dri2 abi changes, guess i'll manually go in and change all DRI2BufferPtr to DRI2Buffer2Ptr to fix it01:38
hyperairSarvatt: downgraded and it works.03:23
Sarvatthyperair: things are fixed now, or at least they should be04:25
hyperairSarvatt: great! lemme go test04:38
Sarvattjust ati still broken, not sure if i want to kludge it or wait for the real fix that'll probably get commited right after i upload04:40
hyperairheh04:42
Sarvattchanging everything in src/radeon_dri2.c to DRI2Buffer2Ptr works but im not sure which parts i should leave unchanged for the non xserver 1.6.2 situation04:42
hyperairi'd say wait then =\04:43
Sarvattmesa and libdrm moving to bzr?04:43
Sarvattjust got a bunch of ** Branch linked: lp:ubuntu/karmic/mesa04:43
hyperairO_o04:45
RAOFOh, sweet lord, please yes!04:45
RAOFDeliver me from git.04:45
* Sarvatt groans04:52
* hyperair groans too04:53
Sarvattoh you're one of "them" :D04:53
RAOFI can use git, but all sorts of parts of it are still wrong.04:53
hyperairi'd say the same about bzr =\04:54
Sarvattdo you use KDE too?04:54
RAOFSuch as not having a monotone versioning scheme :)04:54
Sarvatti'm just teasing, please dont get offended :)04:54
hyperairyou mean revision numbers?04:54
RAOFhyperair: bzr certainly has its flaws; I just don't run into them as often.04:54
RAOFhyperair: Yes, I mean revision numbers.04:54
hyperairRAOF: i kinda like git's better. at least when you look at a commit ID, it is *unique*04:55
RAOFAnd I think bzr's flaws are in a different direction to git's, generally.04:55
hyperairunlike bzr's04:55
hyperaircommit #10 can mean one commit on one repo, another on another repo, and yet another on another repo04:55
Sarvatti just spent way too much time wrapping my head around git and am partial to it04:55
RAOFStockhlom syndrome :P04:55
hyperairi spent more time wrapping my head around svn than git =\04:56
hyperairmostly because i had never used a vcs before that04:56
RAOFhyperair: I guess so.  I find "trunk, r2013" makes more sense than <insert 128bit SHA hash>04:56
Sarvatti like to pretend svn never existed personally LOL04:56
RAOFEh.  Until I tried to use branches, I was quite happy with svn.04:57
hyperairRAOF: i just find it a little confusing after merges04:57
RAOFOnce I _did_ try branches... oh. my. lord.04:57
hyperairlol04:57
hyperairi was happy with svn until i found bzr04:58
hyperairsimply because it allows you to have a local repository04:58
RAOFgit log should default to topological sort, too. :)04:58
hyperairrather than having to create a repository elsewhere, and then checking out04:58
hyperairgit's power comes from custom aliases =p04:59
hyperairalias log into log --graph and you'll be happy =D04:59
Sarvattuntil you go to git log > ChangeLog :D04:59
RAOFBut it's not the default, so people do silly things like insist you rebase rather than merge so that you don't add commits that appear to be in a release without actually being in a release.05:00
hyperairwell you can dump your git log --graph into the ChangeLog and then see the topology in the ChangeLog =D05:00
hyperairRAOF: who is this "people" O_o05:01
RAOFGStreamer.05:01
hyperairclub those people in the head then05:01
tjaaltonbzr.. meh06:53
hyperairgit - 2; bzr - 1.06:54
hyperair=D06:54
tjaaltonI guess the branches were done automatically06:59
jonathan__Can some1 help me or point me in the right direction of the 845GV drivers?18:04
Sarvattthey're called xserver-xorg-video-intel and installed by default18:05
jonathan__I have " unknown " for my display stuff18:05
Sarvattare you using KMS?18:06
jonathan__so everythings stuck 800x600 and i'm a n00b at that18:06
jonathan__this*18:06
Sarvattwhat ubuntu release?18:06
jonathan__9.0418:06
Sarvattthere's updates available in this PPA you can try https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates18:06
jonathan__thanks a ton18:06
Sarvattif that doesnt work theres even newer updates in another PPA but it'll uproot all of X so it'd be good to see if those work first18:07

Sarvatteww! whats that bryce?18:08
Sarvattthat looks like the cursor corruption I get on intel in the middle of the screen :D18:09
bryceSarvatt, some bug pgraner (kernel team manager) discovered after updating this morning18:09
Sarvattwhats it a bug in? was that just booting up?18:11
bryceguess so, I don't have any details other than the photo18:11
bryceI suggested he log a bug report18:11
jonathan__-_- all this is confusing. ubuntu + stoned = bad idea.18:12
Sarvattadd the PPA sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list, sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade18:12
Sarvattthen reboot18:12
jonathan__Should i mention this is my first time using linux...... ever lol18:13
jcristaujonathan__: can you put your /var/log/Xorg.0.log on a pastebin?18:14
jonathan__1 sec18:14
Sarvattopen up a terminal in applications - accessories - terminal18:14
jonathan__I know about terminal18:14
jonathan__well not a lot, just its the command thingy lol18:14
Sarvattsudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list18:14
jcristauthat might give an idea as to why you only get that resolution18:14
Sarvattyeah what jcristau said :)18:15
jcristaubefore you mess with random ppa packages :)18:15
jcristau(ok, not random, but still)18:15
jonathan__lol18:15
jonathan__http://apoboc.pastebin.com/d57634d8218:17
tjaaltonthat's not intel, but openchrome18:18
tjaaltonthe one in 9.04 is full of fail, modesetting-wise18:19
jonathan__confused already lol18:20
Sarvattyou have VIA graphics not intel graphics18:22
jcristauSarvatt: there's a "does xorg-edgers work well on debian/sid ?" question on debian-x.  do you know of a reason it wouldn't?18:22
jonathan__lame, My pc case says NEW! intelRextreme graphics 845gv lol18:22
jonathan__what a peice18:22
Sarvattxserver and mesa are built differently mainly, they might have the extra mesa bits installed from debian if they go that route18:23
Sarvattbut there are a few people using it fine over on the phoronix forums18:24
jcristauthat's just libGLw though, iirc.  nothing uses that :)18:24
Sarvattyeah :D18:24
Sarvattwe use origin/debian-unstable or experimental for debian/ on everything else so it shouldnt be a big deal18:26
jonathan__alright I can handle this 800x600 for a cpl days, Just going to buy an nvidia card18:27
tjaaltonyou can force the resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf18:27
tjaaltongoogle for more18:27
tjaaltonor man xorg.conf18:28
Sarvatttheres an updated openchrome on x-updates, looking into it now to see if theres any fixes lately we can bring in on there18:29
tjaaltonthe randr1.2-branch was applied a bit too late for jaunty18:29
tjaaltonand development seems a bit slow these days :/18:29
Sarvatteww svn18:30
tjaaltonSarvatt: indeed..18:53
Sarvatttoo bad he left, it probably would get fixed updating from jauntys to x-updates openchrome looking at the revision history18:55
bryceSarvatt, on bug 385832 do we just need to pull that patch in?19:01

Sarvattnope i'm pretty sure it was part of a larger patch series19:01
Sarvattbut that was the specific commit so i quoted it19:01
bryceah gotcha, so in that case maybe we should just pull in the git20090702 snapshot into karmic.  what do you think?19:03
Sarvattit was a 6 part patch series with the 5 commits before it, i dont know whats needed19:03
Sarvattsounds good :)19:05
bryceon it19:05
Sarvattthe dpms fix is really important IMO19:05
Sarvattand thats in there19:05
bryceok19:05
bryceyeah let me know what bugs get fixed by this, and I'll make sure they're mentioned in the changelog19:06
Sarvattif you pulled a newer one you could just do a no change rebuild whenever xserver is updated, but it'll require updating intel whenever xserver is updated if you do 070219:07
Sarvatti mentioned a bunch in the x-updates changelog if it helps any19:07
Sarvattahh mostly for the dpms thing i guess, lets see19:07
Sarvatti'll dupe the xrandr modes ones to Bug #38583219:08

brycegreat19:12
bryceyeah your changelog is about perfect19:13
bryceI'll merge it with our previous changelog19:13
bryceoh also I usually itemize the specific patches that were dropped, for extra clarity19:14
Sarvattgood to know, will do that in the future. still learning the ropes :)19:18
bryceyep, you're doing good :-)19:19
bryceSarvatt, have you thought about applying for MOTU?  I think you're pretty much ready19:19
Sarvattyeah I have been looking into that but I've had my hands full lately, plus I felt a little awkward about it because I've only been in the community for 3 months.. I think I'll take some time out today and put some effort into applying if you say that :)19:25
bryceyou've done considerably more than the typical motu applicant, you're definitely well qualified.19:28
bryceSarvatt, how many people have sponsored uploads for you, besides me?19:30
Sarvattnoone19:32
Sarvattjust the 5 uploads from you19:33
bryceok, so maybe that's something we could kick up a bit19:33
brycealso I'll definitely vouch for you, but it usually helps a lot to have several sponsors since they like multiple sources of feedback about an applicant19:34
bryceSarvatt, so what you could do is look through http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/PkgList/versions_current.html for little things needing merges, and post debdiffs, and then ask for upload sponsoring from me, tjaalton, superm1, and one or two others19:36
Sarvatti think there was a builder problem in the last mesa upload that you sponsored from me http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28787457/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-armel.mesa_7.5~rc4-1ubuntu3_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz19:36
SarvattSession terminated, killing shell...make: *** [binary-arch] Terminated19:36
Sarvatt ...killed.19:36
SarvattBuild killed with signal 15 after 150 minutes of inactivity19:36
brycedah19:37
bryceweird, I've not seen that particular build failure before.  Was it only arm that failed or any other platforms?19:37
Sarvattwas just looking at my uploads and saw it failed on armel, that looks transient though and i dont see any problems with the build19:37
bryceit's probably not a big deal that arm failed, it's rather new19:37
bryceok I think we can ignore it.  afaik X doesn't work on arm yet anyway19:38
Sarvatteww, really? I'm looking into an arm platform to buy to work with things19:39
bryceon that merge page, the "Notes" title links to a wiki page where you can list status/notes about merges you work on, or todo items about the merges that are needed19:39
bryceif you look at the history of that Notes page you can see examples from timo and I19:40
bryceyeah I think arm is framebuffer only19:40
Sarvattah thanks for the heads up! sorry I was sidetracked looking into mesa there when you said it :)19:40
bryceSarvatt, with the merges, the red links are good opportunities (esp. the minor drivers, those are usually easy), and also packages that are showing to have a git snapshot might be worth refreshing with a newer snapshot19:43
Sarvattoh nice, you have this page automatically updating? I thought you just took a snapshot in time when you linked it on ubuntu-x19:43
bryceright it updates automatically19:44
bryce(three times an hour)19:44
Sarvattthere are quite a few things with git snapshots that have had releases upstream I imagine, they went and tagged releases on a ton of things this past week19:44
bryceyeah, I noticed19:45
bryceso this is actually a really good point to be working towards MOTU19:45
brycethose upstream versions will get packaged by Debian soonish (typically they do them within a week or so if there's nothing funky)19:46
brycea lot we can file sync requests for, but there will be a bunch that need manual merges19:46
brycegood practice :-)19:46
Sarvattthank you very much again for all of the help bryce, I appreciate you going out of your way to help me with this19:50
brycenot a problem :-)19:53
* bryce --> lunch bbiab19:59

Sarvattmight be worthwhile syncing pixman from debian experimental, it reenables SIMD extensions on arm21:16
Sarvattconsidering i think ubuntu is only targetting armv6 and higher in the first place unlike debian who needed to disable it because runtime detection wasnt working before21:20
tjaaltonSarvatt: pixman with xserver 1.6 has issues21:24
tjaaltonpixman 0.15.x I mean21:26
Sarvattdarn it, i should have checked the lists before uploading a new 15.15, getting this too http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2009-July/046366.html21:26
Sarvattah i think i saw something about a regression on 1.6 branch with 15.x on the lists21:27
Sarvattnow that you mention it21:27
tjaaltoncan't find the reference anymore though21:27
tjaaltonthe recent video driver updates were pretty irrelevant, btw21:31
Sarvattme neither, checked xorg and xorg-devel for the past 3 months hmm21:32
Sarvattyeah i know, it was just to pad a motu application :D most stuff was just the loader symbol lists getting removed21:33
