RiotingPacifistis this the right place to come if im on crack?00:27
verbalshadowsure if you know how to help poor x users like me :P00:31
RiotingPacifistwell i think ive found a bug while on xorg crack (xorg-edgers ppa), but it looks like a packaging mistake rather than a real bug00:32
RiotingPacifisti can try and help with your problem but beyond the relatively simple i don't know much about how xorg works00:33
verbalshadowI need help figuring out what is make x crash w/ corruption ( "white scanlines" ) in a hard lock ( key/mouse don't work including magic ones alt-sysRq-REISUB )on lucid01:03

Q-FUNKhowdy!  in Lucid, restoring from hibernate on -intel takes more than a minute here.  is this a known issue?13:57
Sarvattbryyce: just dropping patch 100 is enough to make guest sessions and such work and stops the segfaults, finally got around to rebuilding with only that patch disabled. can we move the xf86CloseLog() down under return(signo) in xf86Init() maybe?16:06
Sarvattalso xserver-xorg-input-wacom looks like it should be mergeable now unless we were waiting for it to be in squeeze? it doesn't work with serial tablets yet but its working fine with usb on both my graphire 3 4x6 and intuos2 4x516:10
Sarvatterr xf86Init.c I meant16:11
seb128hey there16:27
seb128bryyce, guest session still crashes xorg with your update16:28
seb128so it seems to be a different issue16:28
apwbryyce, hey ... i am seeing i915 going to alll one color, typically black or white but i think i've seen a sort of blue.  and this is recoverable by a suspend/resume16:29
apwany suggestions as to whether this could be a mesa or kernel issue?16:29
apwtseliot, ^^16:29
tseliotapw: oh, do either dmesg or Xorg.0.log contain anything useful?16:30
Sarvattapw: after suspend/resume?16:31
Sarvattif so use powersave=0 module parameter for i91516:31
tseliotif that does it ^ then it must be some kms issue16:31
seb128what does powersave=0 tells us?16:32
Sarvatti915.powersave=0 is needed on my machine and quite a few other peoples to fix the flickering and lockups on a solid color like that16:32
apwnothing in dmesg16:32
seb128the mini10v has screen flickering after suspend16:32
seb128the powersave option workaround it16:32
seb128is that a known issue?16:32
* apw likes the sound of that16:32
* apw goes apply it16:33
SarvattI *really* think it needs to be the default module option for lucid16:33
apwSarvatt, if it fixes it for me and pgraner, it _will_ be the default in about 10s16:33
* Sarvatt cheers16:33
tseliot:-D16:33
pgranertseliot: why didn't you tell us this sooner we could have evaluated it for a default setting16:34
Sarvattseen 2 problems from it, 915-945 having flickering and hangs after suspend/resume and 965 flickering straight away after boot constantly16:34
Sarvattthere is a commit queued up for 2.6.32.4 that fixes the latter16:35
tseliotpgraner: sorry, had I known that I would have told you. I wasn't aware of the problem as I have spent most of the time on proprietary drivers :-/16:35
pgranertseliot: no worries, would have been helpful its killing apw and I we loose screen ever few mins16:36
tseliotouch16:36
seb128Sarvatt, is there a reference bug for the flickering bug?16:37
apwi can say even with a 32.4 kernel the flickering is not fixed on dell 10v, its different looking but still there16:37
Sarvattsure I can dig up lots for you, one minute16:37

* apw is back from suspend with powersave=0 ... will let you know if its the killer setting16:38

Sarvattsorry ignore that second one16:38
Sarvattstill digging, have a bunch bookmarked for these 2 major bugs i'm hitting16:39

ubottuUbuntu bug 492392 in linux "[lucid, intel] After suspend, flickering screen and then blank screen." [Medium,Triaged]16:39
apwsounds like what i would have written if i'd filed a bug instead of whining :)16:39
Sarvattguess those are the only two relevant ones to the flickering I was following, the other is alot more major and havent found a fix to it16:40
seb128Sarvatt, thanks16:40
Sarvattapw: yeah the "remove render reclock support" commit only fixes some flickering people are getting after booting from what I can see (lots of newer thinkpads hitting this), powersave=0 is still needed on 945GSE here where i'm only getting the problem after resume16:43
tseliotjbarnes: any updates on this ^^ ?รน16:44
Sarvatthe sent out [PATCH] drm/i915: disable LVDS downclock by default so powersave=0 wouldnt be needed for some of the cases16:45
apwyeah the flickering is only after resume on my machine here, the hard locks to a single colour are possible without suspend but defiantly more prevalent afterwards16:45
seb128i915.powersave=0 seems to workaround it there too16:45
seb128the issue is only after resume16:45
Sarvatti'm on as aspire one, pretty much the same machine you guys are using16:46
Sarvatton an aspire one rather16:46
* apw will let you know if this fixes me here, and i recon if so then its probabally prudent to turn it off by default and let people turn it on if they are brave16:46
apwso far ... so goof16:48
Sarvattlucky we didn't go to intel 2.10 yet, all those mini's would be locking up every hour or so with batchbuffer I/O failures :D been broken in intel git for a month and a half now16:50

kamalmostafatseliot: Is libGL broken again perchance?  All of the 'octave-*' packages seem to be FTBFS because of20:54
kamalmostafa  octave-3.2.3: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory20:54
kamalmostafa  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38045633/buildlog_ubuntu-lucid-i386.octave-image_1.0.10-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz20:54
superm1kamalmostafa, he's not signed in right now20:59
tjaaltonheh, that looks like fun to fix21:00
superm1kamalmostafa, is octave-3.2 missing a dependency on libgl1-mesa-glx though?21:03
tjaaltonno21:04
tjaaltonldconfig is not run yet, so it can't find the lib21:04
superm1Oh, fun fun21:08
superm1the postinst for libgl1-mesa-glx didn't run it?21:09
tjaaltonoh, it should have, but either it didn't or it doesn't work right21:14
superm1it looks like it tries pretty hard to do it.  it's in there twice21:20
kamalmostafatjaalton, superm1: I see a couple of libgl1-mesa-glx "issues" in that build log which may relate:21:29
kamalmostafa   Setting up libgl1-mesa-glx (7.7-0ubuntu6) ...21:29
kamalmostafa   update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/mesa/ld.so.conf to provide /etc/ld.so.conf.d/GL.conf (gl_conf) in auto mode.21:29
kamalmostafaand21:29
kamalmostafa   dpkg: warning: while removing libgl1-mesa-glx, directory '/usr/lib/xorg' not empty so not removed.21:29
tjaaltonthose are only informational21:29
kamalmostafaok.  do you suspect the problem to be in liblg1-mesa-glx or in octave-3.2?21:31
kamalmostafashould we expect to see a "Processing triggers for libgl1-mesa-glx ..." line in the build log?  There is none.21:33
tjaaltonit's not a trigger21:40
tjaaltonthe postinst should run ldconfig and the build should then see libGL21:41
tjaaltoncertainly a problem in mesa, not octave21:41
seb128bug #506510 is still happening I reopened it21:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 506510 in xorg-server "Xorg crashed with SIGSEGV in FatalError() when using guest session" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/50651021:41
kamalmostafatjaalton: okay, thank you for the clarification.  I tried building a different package (which) needs needs libgl1-mesa-glx, and it builds fine.  Why would that be?21:48
kamalmostafaThat package being "fraqtive"21:48
tjaaltonkamalmostafa: no idea21:49
kamalmostafatjaalton: okay, thanks again for the help.21:51
