| ubottu | Launchpad bug 440233 in fglrx-installer "fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf" [High,Confirmed] | 00:13 |
| RAOF | johanbr: It shouldn't remove grub2 now - what package are you installing that does that? | 00:24 |
| johanbr | the kernel | 00:25 |
| johanbr | linux-image-2.6.30-something | 00:25 |
| RAOF | Why are you installing that kernel? | 00:26 |
| RAOF | (And what version, which particular xorg-edgers PPA are you thinking of?) | 00:26 |
| johanbr | I thought that was necessary | 00:26 |
| RAOF | You should just be able to install xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, and it'll pull in everything it needs. | 00:26 |
| johanbr | ahh, okay | 00:27 |
| johanbr | I'll give that a try... thank you! | 00:27 |
| * RAOF tries to remember if I uploaded the nouveau-kernel-source with kms+initramfs hook to xorg-edgers. | 00:28 | |
| johanbr | last update on that on Nov 2, apparently | 00:29 |
| RAOF | Not for lucid :) | 00:29 |
| RAOF | Not for karmic, either. | 00:30 |
| johanbr | no? | 00:51 |
| johanbr | oh, got it... https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa | 00:51 |
| johanbr | I was looking at https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/nouveau/+packages | 00:52 |
| johanbr | nouveau actually seems to work pretty well... | 01:07 |
| johanbr | but I have the feeling my laptop is running a little hotter | 01:07 |
| johanbr | but xv doesn't seem to work... is it supposed to? | 01:12 |
| RAOF | johanbr: Yes. What chipset do you have? | 01:55 |
| johanbr | 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1) | 01:56 |
| johanbr | X log: http://pastebin.com/f751b212b | 01:59 |
| johanbr | xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f473151b | 02:01 |
| RAOF | johanbr: You might want to grab them from the xorg-edgers PPA (although that'll also pull in a newer X). That looks like all's well, though. | 02:47 |
| johanbr | that's where I got the packages from | 02:47 |
| johanbr | or did you mean something different by "they" ? | 02:50 |
| johanbr | I mean "them" | 02:50 |
| RAOF | Ah. I just misread, sorry. | 02:52 |
| johanbr | I'll try asking on #nouveau | 02:54 |
| RAOF | johanbr: Incidentally, xserver 1.7 is in the xorg-edgers PPA for Lucid; you could concievably rebuild it against Karmic if you're on 9.10. | 03:02 |
| * RAOF has been watching #nouveau. | 03:02 | |
| johanbr | if I just pull in the 1.7 X server from lucid, is that likely to break anything? | 03:03 |
| spO | can one of you work on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/440233 | 03:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 440233 in fglrx-installer "fglrx fails at startup because of missing amdpcsdb.default + removal leaves bad settings in Xorg.conf" [High,Confirmed] | 03:10 |
| RAOF | johanbr: Possibly. I wouldn't simply pull the package without a rebuild at least. | 03:19 |
| johanbr | well, I'm about to give it a try now... if anything goes wrong, I can always revert to the karmic version manually | 03:21 |
| * johanbr likes living dangerously | 03:21 | |
| webbb82 | i just installed ubuntu-x what is it used for | 03:33 |
| johanbr | there's no package with that name | 03:34 |
| johanbr | at least not in the standard Karmic repos | 03:34 |
| webbb82 | via ubuntu-tweak | 03:35 |
| johanbr | then you'd have to ask the authors of ubuntu-tweak | 03:36 |
| johanbr | let's see if the updated X server works... | 03:39 |
| johanbr | hmm... that didn't work out so well | 04:16 |
| johanbr | the Lucid version of nouveau just gave me a garbled gdm screen | 04:17 |
| johanbr | even with the Lucid kernel and all X libraries updated | 04:18 |
