| verbalshadow | how do you debug a x crash that causes a hardlock and you can't get a backtrace even with when you remote in | 02:06 |
|---|---|---|
| verbalshadow | if the crash the machine can't even accept new ssh connections | 02:07 |
| verbalshadow | s/if /and | 02:07 |
| RAOF | verbalshadow: You can try mounting the root filesystem with the “sync” flag; that'll probably slow disc i/o substantially, but should ensure that (almost) all of the log files get written out to disc before it dies. | 02:07 |
| RAOF | You can also try netconsole, to send dmesg out over the network to another machine. | 02:09 |
| verbalshadow | RAOF: thanks do i just add sync to the boot command ?? | 02:11 |
| RAOF | I think you'd want to edit /etc/fstab | 02:12 |
| verbalshadow | ok, i wish i could figure out what the hell is wrong it is killing me | 02:17 |
| bryyce | tjaalton, are your xorg (1:7.5+1ubuntu1) changes in git? | 11:45 |
| tjaalton | bryyce: uh, seems not | 12:00 |
| tjaalton | bryyce: I can fix the changelog version when I push | 12:01 |
| tjaalton | also will add wacom back to -input-all | 12:01 |
| tjaalton | bryyce: do you want to release it too? | 12:02 |
| AlanBell | morning all | 12:48 |
| AlanBell | I am wondering if there is anything I can do to assist with progress on bug 428769 | 12:49 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 428769 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "compiz starts with a blank screen on a 2048x1152 monitor" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/428769 | 12:49 |
| AlanBell | any further information I can add, or point me in the direction of the code responsible and I will have a poke about and see what I can find | 12:49 |
| AlanBell | the issue occurs with Lucid Alpha 2 | 12:50 |
| AlanBell | compiz works perfectly on the same hardware in Jaunty | 12:50 |
| tseliot | superm1: it looks like more transitional packages will be needed: bug #510390 | 15:51 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 510390 in nvidia-graphics-drivers "broken alternatives broke vdpau in mplayer" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/510390 | 15:51 |
| tseliot | you're gonna love it :-P | 15:51 |
| apw | bryyce, about? | 16:48 |
| superm1 | tseliot, i'm not convinced | 16:55 |
| superm1 | does mplayer build-dep on libvdpau? | 16:56 |
| superm1 | (eg does it do it right..) | 16:56 |
| superm1 | i can double check tonight if a fresh install has the same problem with mythtv | 16:56 |
| superm1 | which does have a proper build-dep on libvdpau | 16:56 |
| tseliot | superm1: that would be welcome | 16:56 |
| tseliot | I guess it built against the old (nvidia?) libvdpau | 16:57 |
| superm1 | tseliot, for now, i think just a C/R on that 185 package should be sufficient for upgraders though, no? | 16:57 |
| superm1 | looking over https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+changelog i'd agree with that | 16:58 |
| bjsnider | that old mplayer has an ancient vdpau in it | 16:59 |
| bjsnider | it does not play well with the newer libvdpau | 16:59 |
| superm1 | okay so lets get that fixed before we get any new transitional packages in place | 16:59 |
| bjsnider | i'm sure reinhard has it in mind to refresh it | 16:59 |
| superm1 | bjsnider, do you by chance have a patch for it that you might share with siretart? | 16:59 |
| bjsnider | he had to fix that stupid ffmpeg problem first though | 17:00 |
| tseliot | superm1: this is exactly why I pinged you before doing any actual work | 17:00 |
| bjsnider | superm1, i just used reinhard's update command from the debian scripts | 17:00 |
| superm1 | bjsnider, the ffmpeg problems should be fixed now i think | 17:01 |
| bjsnider | so my version is newer out of svn or whatever it is. may e git. i don't remember | 17:01 |
| bjsnider | yeah that's good, so everything should be refreshed, all of the encoding libs like theora, x264 etc. and vlc and mplayer | 17:01 |
| tseliot | superm1, bjsnider: can you add a comment in bug #510390 | 17:02 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 510390 in nvidia-graphics-drivers "broken alternatives broke vdpau in mplayer" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/510390 | 17:02 |
| tseliot | so as to explain what's required | 17:02 |
| bjsnider | why does it say fix released? | 17:02 |
| tseliot | bjsnider: because there was a bug | 17:03 |
| tseliot | maybe we should open a different bug report | 17:03 |
| tseliot | the bug was the lack of libvdpau.so in /usr/lib/ | 17:03 |
| tseliot | which is no longer the case | 17:03 |
| bjsnider | my ppa still has that newer mplayer from a few months ago. if someone wants to try it they're welcome. | 17:04 |
| bjsnider | but i don't use lucid | 17:04 |
| bjsnider | i could ask somebody in +1 i guess | 17:04 |
| bjsnider | tseliot, is the nvidia vdpau lib now int he same place as it always was? | 17:05 |
| tseliot | bjsnider: it's compliant with what Nvidia explained in bug #432172 | 17:07 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 432172 in nvidia-graphics-drivers "nvidia-180-libvdpau packages both libvdpau and libvdpau_nvidia" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/432172 | 17:07 |
| bjsnider | wait a minute. how could fta have both nvidia-current and the 185 libvdpau package both installed? they contain the same files. so obviously the locations must have changed | 17:10 |
| bjsnider | mplayer needs to be refreshed so that it finds the new location and that old package has to be forced out | 17:10 |
| bjsnider | in my view | 17:10 |
| tseliot | right but the links will make it work | 17:12 |
| tseliot | no doubt on the fact that mplayer needs to be rebuilt against the new vdpau | 17:12 |
| Q-FUNK | on Lucid, since a few days, I seem to have a situation where pressing ALT+F* makes the system switch to a vcons, instead of calling whatever shortcut the desktop has defined. | 17:15 |
| Q-FUNK | has the kernel and/or X server suddenly changed from CTRL+ALT+F* to ALT+F* to change vcons? | 17:15 |
| tseliot | maybe gnome did? | 17:16 |
| Q-FUNK | tseliot: gnome still has its shortcuts as before. as son as I return from whichever vcons I was sent to, the correct gnome action took place and is waiting for me to interact. | 17:22 |
| tseliot | oh | 17:23 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: ^^ | 17:23 |
| superm1 | bjsnider, okay well i filed a bug in debian to get mplayer patched to stop hacking it's own vdpau support in | 17:41 |
| superm1 | are there any other packages yo uknow that do this? | 17:42 |
| superm1 | ffmpeg should be fixed now | 17:42 |
| bjsnider | what i meant by the notion that there are problems witht hat build vis a vis vdpau is that there are playback bugs and things that were fixed in 2008 | 17:43 |
| bjsnider | not that it couldn't find the vdpau libs or drivers | 17:43 |
| jcristau | mvo: i resent your xserver patch, hopefully keithp will take it now :) | 17:45 |

| mvo | jcristau: cool, thanks. fingers crossed :) | 17:54 |
| superm1 | well the new stuff dlopen's from a new place too I thought, so that's a bit important as well | 17:55 |
