[00:12] <spO> hi
[00:13] <spO> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/440233
[00:13] <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]
[00:24] <RAOF> johanbr: It shouldn't remove grub2 now - what package are you installing that does that?
[00:25] <johanbr> the kernel
[00:25] <johanbr> linux-image-2.6.30-something
[00:26] <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.
[00:27] <johanbr> ahh, okay
[00:27] <johanbr> I'll give that a try... thank you!
[00:28]  * RAOF tries to remember if I uploaded the nouveau-kernel-source with kms+initramfs hook to xorg-edgers.
[00:29] <johanbr> last update on that on Nov 2, apparently
[00:29] <RAOF> Not for lucid :)
[00:30] <RAOF> Not for karmic, either.
[00:51] <johanbr> no?
[00:51] <johanbr> oh, got it... https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[00:52] <johanbr> I was looking at https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/nouveau/+packages
[01:07] <johanbr> nouveau actually seems to work pretty well...
[01:07] <johanbr> but I have the feeling my laptop is running a little hotter
[01:12] <johanbr> but xv doesn't seem to work... is it supposed to?
[01:55] <RAOF> johanbr: Yes.  What chipset do you have?
[01:56] <johanbr> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] (rev a1)
[01:59] <johanbr> X log: http://pastebin.com/f751b212b
[02:01] <johanbr> xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/f473151b
[02:47] <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
[02:50] <johanbr> or did you mean something different by "they" ?
[02:50] <johanbr> I mean "them"
[02:52] <RAOF> Ah.  I just misread, sorry.
[02:54] <johanbr> I'll try asking on #nouveau
[03:02] <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.
[03:03] <johanbr> if I just pull in the 1.7 X server from lucid, is that likely to break anything?
[03:10] <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]
[03:19] <RAOF> johanbr: Possibly.  I wouldn't simply pull the package without a rebuild at least.
[03:21] <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
[03:33] <webbb82> i  just installed ubuntu-x what is it used for
[03:34] <johanbr> there's no package with that name
[03:34] <johanbr> at least not in the standard Karmic repos
[03:35] <webbb82> via ubuntu-tweak
[03:36] <johanbr> then you'd have to ask the authors of ubuntu-tweak
[03:39] <johanbr> let's see if the updated X server works...
[04:16] <johanbr> hmm... that didn't work out so well
[04:17] <johanbr> the Lucid version of nouveau just gave me a garbled gdm screen
[04:18] <johanbr> even with the Lucid kernel and all X libraries updated
