| lifeless | StevenK: is psb-meta buildable or relevant to lucid? | 10:36 |
| persia | lifeless: I'm fairly certain that the modules found in a prior release in a PPA won't work in lucid. I do not believe rebuilding those from source will help. | 10:41 |
| persia | There are rumours of a working PSB from Meego (started by me based on a MeeGo talk I attended), but I don't believe anyone has yet successfully integrated those with Ubuntu. | 10:41 |
| persia | There are also rumours that StevenK has a script in his IRC client that sets those who ask about PSB to auto-ignore, but I'm not sure how reliable those may be. | 10:42 |
| lifeless | :P | 10:45 |
| lifeless | lynne wanted [and got] a eeepc1101ha | 10:45 |
| persia | I see. Did it come with a preinstall, by chance? | 10:45 |
| persia | Seems not, based on looking up product information. | 10:47 |
| persia | In any case, last I knew the drivers were closed-source only, and also relied on some features not available (and in a different form than) our X. | 10:48 |
| persia | So not even the typical shim+blob solution is enough. | 10:48 |
| persia | They were made available in a seriously hacked form for a couple releases: so you could run those, but not lucid. | 10:49 |
| lifeless | persia: yeah; dkms module fails to build | 11:23 |
| lifeless | phys_to_gart not defined | 11:24 |
| persia | This is a recurring issue with the PSB drivers. I believe they worked for hardy and jaunty with sufficient extra bits, but I'm not convinced they worked for intrepid or karmic, and I'm sure they don7t work for lucid. | 11:25 |
| * persia has an unfortunately high number of PSB devices, and hopes they end up supported before they are so obsolete as to be unusable. | 11:26 | |
| lool | lifeless: ISTR people mentionning that it could be made to build under karmic | 11:31 |
| lool | in a launchpad bug | 11:31 |
| lool | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-psb/+bug/330906 | 11:33 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 330906 in xserver-xorg-video-psb "MASTER: GMA-500 lacks driver for 8.10 and 9.10 (poulsbo works only on 8.04 and 9.04)" [Wishlist,Triaged] | 11:33 |
| persia | lool: Wasn't there also some change to VESA to support 1024x600 ? | 11:35 |
| StevenK | Yes, the Gutsy stuff could be forced to work under Karmic. I have no idea how, and don't care to find out how. | 11:38 |
| persia | Gutsy? Jaunty? | 11:39 |
| StevenK | Er, Jaunty, yes | 11:39 |
| * persia has made that mistake about 20 times in the past couple days,having never made if before, and vaguely wonders how such an effective meme developed. | 11:39 | |
| lifeless | StevenK: looks like two trivial changes to make it build under lucid | 11:40 |
| persia | lifeless: The jaunty stuff? Cool. Care to toss it in a PPA? | 11:41 |
| persia | (or multiverse, if you're feeling brave) | 11:41 |
| * persia hasn't checked the license, but suspects it may be multiverse-OK) | 11:41 | |
| lifeless | persia: there is an eeepc-control ppa already | 11:41 |
| lifeless | it just needs a small update to it; its documented in the forums already | 11:41 |
| persia | lifeless: Yeah, but I'd like it for my non-ppa stuff :) | 11:41 |
| lifeless | just rebooting now to test it | 11:41 |
| persia | err, non-eee | 11:41 |
| StevenK | persia: Given how PSB still requires it's own DRM stack, I'd rather it not hit the archive. | 11:42 |
| persia | StevenK: Oh, right. This makes sense. | 11:43 |
| * persia had happily forgotten most of the details. | 11:43 | |
| StevenK | I wish I had. | 11:43 |
| lifeless | StevenK: so | 11:53 |
| lifeless | I have a loading psb module | 11:54 |
| StevenK | Right, that's only half the issue | 11:55 |
| StevenK | Now you need to make sure the X driver installs and works | 11:55 |
| lifeless | if you have any tips, that would be lovely. ;) | 11:57 |
| StevenK | See if it builds against the xserver in Lucid. | 11:57 |
| lifeless | StevenK: did the 3d one work previously, or just 2d? | 12:22 |
| StevenK | lifeless: Try 2d first, but 2d is probably the most trying to get working | 12:23 |
| lifeless | zomg cvs is a build-dep | 12:28 |
| persia | lifeless: Well of course. You always want to be able to track the revisions of changes that happen during build, and why not use the best available technology? | 12:31 |
| lifeless | http://www.nanoant.com/linux/compiling-kernel-iegd-10x-module-for-any-linux-distribution is interesting | 12:33 |
| persia | Looks like it solves the special-private-version-of-drm issue | 12:39 |
| lifeless | yes | 12:46 |
| lifeless | persia: speaking of sdks | 12:54 |
| lifeless | its a 124MB zip file. | 12:54 |
| * persia hates the very concept of sdks harder. | 12:54 | |
| lifeless | also with mandatory registration | 12:55 |
| lifeless | asking for physical address and phone. | 12:55 |
| persia | An SDK is just another way of saying "we wrote incompatible software: here's a random blob of stuff that might help you also write incompatible software. have fun!" | 12:55 |
| lifeless | very much not an end user solution; haven't looked at redistribution aspects of it yet | 12:55 |
| lifeless | Ima seeif itworks first. | 12:56 |
| persia | Either your keyboard went wonky, you're reflexes just had a significant shock, or your machine is under way too much load. | 12:56 |
| lifeless | nearly midnight | 12:56 |
| lifeless | ETIRED | 12:56 |
| persia | Indeed. | 12:57 |
| lifeless | oh, and hanging download. | 13:01 |
| * lifeless hates on this | 13:01 | |
| persia | In the morning the download may have finished. | 13:02 |
| lifeless | no | 13:06 |
| lifeless | its a broken bw cap I think | 13:06 |
| lifeless | 324K/sec - not my line speed, and no variation | 13:06 |
| lifeless | first connection hung, second is going well | 13:07 |
| lifeless | oh thats special | 13:14 |
| lifeless | it contains a windows exe | 13:14 |
| lifeless | persia: and a full jre | 13:22 |
| lifeless | and a copy of eclipse | 13:22 |
| lifeless | gnight | 13:23 |
