Sarvatttjaalton: where did you look? I wonder if there has been any mplayer rebuilds since xorg 7.5 was pulled in, bet that will have a problem with the new header layout02:12
Sarvattugh, yeah, mplayer hasnt built since xorg 7.5 was pulled in, something tells me its gonna have problems02:35
Sarvatti'll try it now02:36
Sarvattodd02:37
Sarvattthey packed the vdpau headers directly into the mplayer source, but it has a nvidia-185-libvdpau-dev build-dep02:37
superm1debian was not doing it right fo ra while05:17
superm1they were trying to find a way to have libvdpau be in contrib when it should have been in main so stuff could build dep on it05:18
Sarvattyeah I was just reading all about that, that was a silly bug05:24
Sarvattseemed like they were saying it didnt need to be a build dep because the only thing that used it had the headers bundled in with it already05:24
Sarvatt(which was a hack to get it to build with vdpau support before libvdpau-dev existed)05:24
superm1yup05:27
superm1well now more ffmpeg stuff can build dep on it too05:29
SarvattWell, since I have installed 195.30 on my gentoo box, I experience a constantly high performance with kwin and plasmadesktop. There must be something seriously wrong.06:01
SarvattI like that bug report :D06:02
Sarvattthe difference is really noticeable here in gnome too06:03
Sarvattsheesh this xrenderbenchmark is a little biased to these new nvidia drivers06:48
SarvattTransformation/Bilinear filter...................6000 frames in 2.01387 seconds = 2979.338 FPS   vs Transformation/Bilinear filter...................1322810 frames in 2.0001 seconds = 661372.593 FPS06:49
tjaaltonSarvatt: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/06:49
Sarvattahhhh thanks06:50
Sarvattevdev synaptics and mouse are the only input drivers on there? odd06:56
Sarvattdoesn't that mean keyboard mouse and such built with the old input abi?06:59
Sarvattah some of the others arent in main07:02
Sarvattand it looks like keyboards dropped :D07:02
tjaaltonSarvatt: no, it only lists packages that failed on some arch07:27
tjaaltonsparc/powerpc still don't have the new xserver07:27
tjaaltonand -keyboard was dropped, yes07:27
tjaaltonSarvatt: have you bisected which libdrm commit breaks your setup?08:14
Sarvattno I haven't, this is my main system I've got in the car with me all day while I was working 14 hour days because of the holidays so I've needed things to be stable08:33
Sarvattbut I'll actually try to start that now08:34
Sarvattbusy times all over :D08:34
Sarvattit would be so much easier if i could just install it system wide, hmm08:35
Sarvatthmm, should i start at a checkout of 2.4.16? they merged in a few branches just after 2.4.16 released and the commits went back08:36
Sarvattnot sure if it would include those commits if i start with master and mark 2.4.16 good 08:37
Sarvattodd thing with nvidia just now.. purged 195, installed 190, rebooted and got failsafe and the xorg.0.log says the nvidia module wasnt found, but i manually modprobed it fine08:39
Sarvattwhen i exited to console login08:39
Duke`which bug(s) are you hunting?08:40
Sarvattoh thats the x module nvidia failing to load08:41
Sarvattthe one you get too Duke`08:41
Duke`ok08:41
Duke`cool :D08:41
Sarvattthat started between 11-30 and 12-0308:41
Sarvattoh wow that package was screwed up, it didnt install nvidia-190-glx :D08:43
Sarvattoh, can just bisect it off of origin/ubuntu08:48
Sarvattwish it didnt take almost 24 hours to trigger a crash sometimes though :( how long have you managed without a crash Duke`?08:50
Duke`hum I think 2 days ago, but I'm on hollidays so I use my computer a bit less, and since I hate this bug I try to not provoque it :D08:52
Sarvattyeah, i figured out ways to prolong it too :D08:53
Duke`(navigating on the map of this site: http://france.meteofrance.com/ makes me crash sometimes)08:53
Sarvattscrolling with pageup/pagedown instead of the trackpad, avoiding flash, turning off thumbnails08:53
Duke`yeah08:54
Sarvattthanks i'll try crashing it with that site :)08:54
Duke`I don't know if bisecting is really the proper way for this sort of bug we can't reproduce easily08:54
Sarvattits only like 8 commits08:55
Duke`maybe it would be better to start with a broken version and decrease until the bug doesn't appear08:55
Sarvattonly reason i'm going to try08:55
Sarvattyeah i'm starting with 2.4.16 in origin/ubuntu on debian git08:55
Duke`because you can run during a week and still not be sure it's OK :D08:55
Sarvattmaybe i'll make some kind of script that opens nautilus, browses to a folder with about 6k videos in it, scrolls, deletes video thumbnails and repeats :D08:56
SarvattACTUALLY08:57
Sarvattits another bug but its kind of related and i can trigger it faster08:57
Duke`ah?08:57
Sarvatti'm having problems with flickering after resume from suspend on 2.6.32+ kernels08:57
Duke`I never had problem with thumbnails, but well I don't generate them everyday08:57
Sarvattand if i compound it with libdrm 2.4.16+ I can trigger the execbuff while wedged error right after resume08:58
Duke`do you know if someone at intel is actively hunting this bug too?08:58
tjaaltonare they aware of it?08:59
Sarvattdoesn't look like it, lots of bugs assigned to people and it seems like they're gonna release 2.10 any time now08:59
Sarvattthe guy who commited those libdrm commits that are causing us problems is on vacation08:59

ubottuFreedesktop bug 25475 in Driver/intel "[i915] Xorg crash / Execbuf while wedged" [Critical,New]09:00
tjaaltonah, great09:01
Sarvattwhoa, check out the speed difference between 195.30 and 190.42 nvidia blobs -- http://sarvatt.com/downloads/xrenderbenchmark-results.txt09:06
Duke`o_O09:07
Sarvatti cant even use AccelerateTrapeziods on this 8400M GS09:07
Sarvattsmells like nvidia benchmark fudging from windows leaking over to linux :D09:08
Sarvatt(not that optimizing it for glxgears fps wasnt already)09:09
Duke`in the bug report Tobias says he can trigger the bug in 5 mins or half an hour. Lucky guy. Or not.09:09
Sarvattme too,  it's called set up your online banking account09:10
Sarvattit crashed on me right when it popped up some info i needed to save :)09:10
Duke`Murphy law ftw!09:11
SarvattLOL09:13
Sarvattlast time I crashed -- I was writing a bug report response about the crash saying it was stable09:14
Sarvattguess I lost the bookmark I saved to that bug right before it crashed09:14
Sarvatt[264301.566382] (WW) intel(0): i830_uxa_pixmap_swap_bo_with_image: bo map failed09:16
Sarvattthat line shows up in xorg.0.log when it does the execbuff while wedged crash right after resume09:17
Duke`graaahh I've been bitten by the rabbit x_x09:17
Sarvattso its a different bug but maybe that'll be easier to bisect09:17
Sarvatthttps://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2559809:18
ubottuFreedesktop bug 25598 in Driver/intel "[965GM] Corruption on resume from hibernation with xf86-video-intel-git" [Critical,New]09:18
Duke`what does *-dbg packages bring exactly? do they replace the non-debug package, or do they just "add" symbols and still need the non-debug package to work?09:19
tjaaltonadd symbols09:20
Sarvattactually I'm wondering that too, i know it installs another copy but i'm not sure if gdb is just set up to read it from there or if it sets up an alternative to the files installed in the normal one09:25
Sarvattthey usually package in debugging aids in the dbg packages too, like intel_reg_dumper goes in the dbg package (or did at least)09:26
Sarvatti seem to remember tormod mentioning having made an extension to auto-xorg-git to aid bisecting at some point..09:28
Sarvattnot really much of a vdpau difference between 195.30 and 190.43 http://sarvatt.com/downloads/vdpau-benchmark.txt09:51
Sarvatttime to start crashing :D10:12
Sarvattwow I'm impatient at 5 am trying to crash this box. only been about 20 minutes and i'm thinking about starting it a few days later than 2.4.16 just incase10:30
Duke`have you crashed yet?10:34
Sarvattif you see me quit, I crashed :)10:42
Sarvattnope though, havent yet10:42
Duke`ok :)10:42
Sarvattwooonderful :D10:55
Sarvattfirst crash, nothing in the logs10:56
Sarvatthttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b7/Singapore_port_panorama.jpg10:57
Sarvattthat pic works great, it used to crash me reliably almost a year ago and I guess its back to doing it again10:57
Sarvattonly on 2.4.16 though!10:58
Sarvattdont know if i should mark 2.4.16 bad or try to get the execbuff while wedged error crash first10:58
Duke`I should not have loaded your crashpic >_<11:04
Sarvattcrashed you just loading it?11:08
Sarvatti opened it in about 20 tabs in 3 versions of firefox at the same time11:09
Sarvatttook about 30 minutes of that though11:09
Sarvatttrying the next step now halfway between 2.4.16 and Correctly set DRM_MAX_MINOR for all platforms. that worked right11:19
tjaaltonwhee, kernel crash while typing in oo.org11:30
Duke`Sarvatt, it crashed during loading (I don't know if it was totally loaded or not)11:31
tjaaltonwow, a reproducible crash too11:33
Sarvattyuck :)11:44
SarvattX frozen using 100% cpu at that commit11:45
Sarvatthappened again just using gnome-terminal after a reboot, i just marked it bad and moved on but i guess i cant be sure about it now11:46
Sarvattit draws that panorama picture a heck of alot faster at intel: Clear bo->used_as_reloc_target flag on destroy than 2.4.16, thats for sure11:51
Sarvattgit bisect doesn't really work when everything between good and the middle has different problems :D12:19
tjaaltonprobably true..12:37
Sarvattwell, tried everything i could bisecting it, too many problems needing later commits to fix it those few days.. now i'm trying 2.4.16 and reverting individual commits to see if it fares any better13:32
Sarvattstarted by reverting http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/drm/commit/?id=acb4aa671507aa181b3ff50ccf26a1c0d705a30913:36
Sarvattwell, no luck, went through all the bisect which didnt work then started reverting 1 intel patch at a time backwards from 2.4.16 and i'm at 3 reverts15:21
Duke`yeah it's hard to hunt15:34
_Narc_Hello everyone, sorry to bother, but I think I'm experiencing and important bug and nobody's able to help me on #ubuntu or ubuntu-bugs. Someone there told me to ask you : I recently updated Karmic and now my left click is almost dead. I can't focus, close, click buttons or tabs, etc. I disabled Compiz effects, but it still doesn't work. Thanks a lot.16:16
=== \vish is now known as mac_v
=== mac_v is now known as \vish
dyekHi! Is Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic using X11R7? Is libx11-6 considered old, or it continues in its role to provide the xlib interface for X11R7 while xcb is introduced?18:17
jcristauyes.18:18
dyekjcristau: Thanks.18:20
Sarvattlooks pretty promising, 6 hours of firefox huge image torture and no crashes reverting "intel: Repeat execbuffer after EINTR" and  "intel: Check and propagate errors from building reloc-tree" from 2.4.1620:11
