| _stink_ | did do-release-upgrade -d from jaunty to karmic. have intel 82845G graphics. under karmic, my machine will idle at the gdm prompt forever just fine, and i can switch to a vt and use it just fine, ssh in just fine, etc. but once i log in via gdm, no matter into GNOME or failsafe xterm, within 5 minutes the machine "locks up". no mouse/keyboard response (CapsLock won't toggle), can't ssh in anymore. but sysrq+reisub will get me a | 04:16 |
|---|---|---|
| _stink_ | also, a liveusb of karmic always locks up as it's starting the desktop, and i suspect it's the same problem. | 04:19 |
| rickspencer3 | _stink_, was this today? | 04:20 |
| _stink_ | rickspencer3: i did the update Sunday, i think. the problem has persisted since then | 04:21 |
| _stink_ | er, did the *upgrade* to karmic Sunday. | 04:21 |
| rickspencer3 | _stink_, could you please do a dist upgrade today to get onto the very latest RC bits | 04:22 |
| rickspencer3 | and then do you know how to use ubuntu-bug to log a bug? | 04:22 |
| rickspencer3 | $ubuntu-bug xorg | 04:22 |
| _stink_ | know of it, haven't used it yet | 04:22 |
| rickspencer3 | ok, it's super easy | 04:23 |
| rickspencer3 | so first to get updated do: | 04:23 |
| rickspencer3 | $sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y | 04:24 |
| rickspencer3 | this will download the latest info about packages available, and then update to those packages | 04:24 |
| rickspencer3 | then if you still see the problem do | 04:24 |
| _stink_ | cool, doing that part now | 04:24 |
| rickspencer3 | $ubuntu-bug xorg | 04:24 |
| rickspencer3 | and this will open launchpad with a bug form, but also include every xorg related file | 04:25 |
| rickspencer3 | so in this way it will get assigned to the write packages, have your config info, etc... | 04:25 |
| rickspencer3 | so substantially increases the chances of someone seeing what is going wrong | 04:25 |
| rickspencer3 | hth | 04:25 |
| _stink_ | rickspencer3: thanks! | 04:26 |
| rickspencer3 | sure, np | 04:26 |
| rickspencer3 | thanks for the bug report :) | 04:27 |

| hyperair | is anyone around here free to look at a rather popular issue with PM and KMS with intel? bug #417599 | 16:55 |
| ubottu | Error: Could not parse data returned by Launchpad: The read operation timed out (https://launchpad.net/bugs/417599) | 16:55 |
| tseliot | hyperair: so pm-utils doesn't restore the backlight with KMS. Is this the problem? | 17:18 |
| hyperair | tseliot: it seems so. | 17:18 |
| hyperair | tseliot: i don't have a machine i could test with | 17:18 |
| tseliot | hyperair: I know that KMS broke backlight control with xrandr but that was fixed. I don't know if this is the reason why they disabled quirks if KMS is on. | 17:25 |
| tseliot | Maybe there are other problems with KMS | 17:25 |
| hyperair | hmm | 17:27 |
| hyperair | i think it was disabled because it was considered unnecessary | 17:28 |
| hyperair | including the whole chvt hack | 17:28 |
| tseliot | hmm... | 17:33 |
| tseliot | maybe it could be patched to override the kms check if passed, say, --quirk-override-kms | 17:36 |
| jcristau | that would be wrong | 17:38 |
| steveire | http://dpaste.com/110259/ Hi Trying to set up a dual screen system I get this when I select twinview. Does it mean anything? | 18:29 |
| steveire | All I get is a X cursoron my second screen. No "desktop" | 18:29 |
| steveire | http://dpaste.com/110265/ | 18:34 |
| steveire | Does this mean that x only knows about one screen? | 18:34 |
| bryce__ | steveire, depends on the driver | 18:48 |

| Amaranth | steveire: xrandr is useless with nvidia, don't pay attention to what it says | 20:25 |
