chrisccoulsonbryceh - you're lucky. i had someone paste their entire life story on 2 bugs i'm subscribed to today ;)00:40
chrisccoulsonthe same essay on each...00:40
bryceh"and then my dog ran over my girlfriend..."00:43
brycehchrisccoulson, I had one xkeyboard-config bug where two guys got into it hot and heavy over a crimean keyboard layout00:44
chrisccoulsonlol00:44
chrisccoulsonsome comments make for an interesting read ;)00:44
brycehsomething about what russians or turks did to tartars 200 years ago00:44
bryceheven made its way upstream, and the xkeyboard-config maintainer is in Moscow, and when he opted not to do the change asked for, whew knives flew00:45
jcristauyeah that one was wild00:46
RAOFHow do ants eat a laptop?00:49
RAOFHm.  My camera seems to have been infected by 10.04 branding.  Everything's a shade of purple, and streaky :(00:51

bjsniderwhat kind of ants were these exactly?00:58
brycehbjsnider, that calls for a pun but I can't think of one01:02

Sarvattwell XAA: disable render accel in -ati just now should fix part of bug #51395604:21

brycehSarvatt, yeah although I'm uncertain there was any configuration where EXA worked for jesse06:45
RAOFIs there any way we can fiddle with acpi lid status from userspace?  I'm suspicious that bug #53618 's low-res on laptop open is due to the intel assuming lvds is disconnected because the lid's closed, and so X bails with no screens.06:56
RAOFLeaving the actual bug as to why X is getting SIGQUITted.06:56
brycehRAOF, I recall there were some various acpi tools, but I don't remember if they could update the lid status06:58
RAOFHm.  i915 doesn't seem to have any lid-status options, either.  Are they just quirking lids on an as-discovered basis?07:05
brycehSarvatt, graph went down today :-) http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/X/Reports/ubuntu-x-swat/totals-lucid.svg07:22

brycehtjaalton, great07:25
tjaaltonbryceh: openchrome is twice on the graph07:27

brycehmaybe07:28
tjaaltonsame color though07:28
brycehbut I didn't do the remainder thing for this graph, as there weren't as many packages07:28

Sarvattremoving quiet splash makes plymouth segfault and boot is hung16:29
Sarvattnot removing it leaves the splash screen up 100% of the time and I can't get gdm to start right16:29
tseliotSarvatt: was this caused by a update of nouveau?16:33
tseliotan16:33
Sarvattno, plymouth :(16:34
Sarvattit was working fine with the same nouveau before these last few plymouth updates (back around 0.8.0-~12 or -~14)16:35

knittl\o/16:54
knittl:)16:54
Sarvattknittl: yeah the people that needed that fix were very easy to identify because they all had the same backtrace showing it still rendering after a VT switch (such as when suspending)16:56
knittli also need that fix ;)16:56
Sarvattricotz: commits prefixed dri/nouveau don't apply to gallium nouveau drivers so no need to rebuild and check those incase you're doing that17:02
Sarvattthats classic mesa nouveau_vieux_dri.so for <NV3017:03
ricotzSarvatt, not doing that ;-), thanks17:04
ricotzSarvatt, why does mesa hasnt got a "make dist"?17:04
Sarvattbecause mesa's build system is horrible :) the maintainers mostly use scons on windows.. you can use something like this though - tar --exclude=debian --exclude=debian/* --exclude=.git --exclude=.git/* -cf - mesa | gzip -9 >mesa_7.9.0+git20100318.xxxxxxxx.orig.tar.gz17:11
Sarvattuploading a new mesa to edgers now since it fixes the texture tiling problems on intel now that its defaulted to on17:12
Sarvatti need to bump libdrm in there but it needs a lot of build system changes, not enough time in a day17:14
brycehSarvatt, whoops, yeah it was down at the point I mentioned it to you17:26
brycehSarvatt, looks like a bunch of new nouveau reports came in plus some other stuff17:27

Sarvattoh didnt remove the lucid tag so no big deal17:36
brycehSarvatt, yeah it would have put lucid on there if it saw it17:36
bryceher, if it didn't see it there already17:37
brycehalthough admittedly it's not hard to confuse the scripts17:37
brycehahhh ok so that's why there's so many more packages listed17:38
brycehit used to crap out halfway through processing and was going through them package by package17:38

brycehmakes the graph look smooshed though.  hmm17:46

brycehaha there we go18:11
Sarvattwoohoo, my wife was using one of my laptops for 2 weeks or so and now she's complaining about going back to windows now that hers is fixed because she got so used to having all the useful info on the panel :) its just too bad I had lucid on there and she got frustrated hitting enter restarted gdm and the splash is pretty pointless on with non KMS since we only have the smooth transition stuff with KMS 18:14
Sarvattdrivers and its only there for a second18:14
Sarvattno photoshop is the deal breaker for her though18:14
Sarvattplus she hated the new min/max/close button placement and moving things to the right in the correct order looks messed up since the minimize button border is designed to be in the middle18:15
SarvattI dont think anyone on the design team uses gnome panel drawers because the background is screwed up also :)18:16
hyperairheh18:16
hyperairgo complain on #ayatana18:16
brycehSarvatt, email shuttleworth ;-)18:17
brycehSarvatt, my wife is not fond of the button movement idea either18:18
hyperairi am not fond of the button movement.18:18
brycehbut I have so far refrained from upgrading her to new ubuntus until they're released18:18

rafiyrlucid lynx, ubuntu 10.0419:56
tjaaltonyes, but you filed it against a project, not package19:56
rafiyrThe only thing that patch does is enable the wacom driver to support another manufacturer's hardware.  They didn't seem particularly interested when I sent the patch to the mailing list19:56
rafiyrAh19:57
tjaalton"Lucid Editor NOT UBUNTU"19:57

tjaaltonwho proposed the patches and when?19:58
tjaaltonI'd check the list19:58

brycehrafiyr, haven't run into any others20:02
rafiyrtjaalton: oh. I guess I misread or missed something, that was a while ago20:02
rafiyrwhen were you there?20:02
brycehrafiyr, btw it will work with various processes better to attach files individually to bug reports rather than in a tar20:02
tjaaltonrafiyr: since it needs kernel support too it's likely too late for lucid, especially since it's not upstream20:02
rafiyrunderstood20:03
brycehfor example, patch files get auto-detected and make it through certain filters so they bubble up to the top of priority lists20:03
tjaaltonindeed20:03
brycehalso makes it easier to look at the patches online, rather than downloading and uncompressing the tar20:03
rafiyrI'll check with jiri to see why its not upstream yet, and if he can fix that.20:03
brycehso stuff gets more review20:03
tjaaltonrafiyr: yeah it needs upstream review20:03
rafiyrI didn't see an obvious method to attach multiple patches20:04
tjaaltonone at a time20:04
brycehrafiyr, there isn't, just do separate comments for each20:04
rafiyrAh20:04
brycehwell, if you reply to a bug via email you can do multiple attachments20:04
brycehbut not thru the web20:04

Sarvattkazade: adding blacklist=nouveau to the kernel command line in grub should work20:13
tjaaltonSarvatt: but is plymouth busted as you suggested?20:14
kazadeSarvatt, thanks that's good to know. Luckily he had a previous kernel so that got him into vesa mode :)20:14
tjaaltonblacklisting does the same20:15
Sarvattit wont load the drm renderer for plymouth if nouveau is blacklisted so it should still work for vesa?20:15
Sarvatti haven't tested that20:16
rafiyrIf the march 10nth patch isn't applied to the release kernel, can we shift to using wacom instead of evdev by default?20:20
rafiyrMore context: wacom as the default driver to support the n-trig touch sensor.  wacom is already the default for the pen sensor.20:21
tjaaltonbryceh: you said on the n-trig patch that you uploaded something a week ago? the one in the archive was touched by me though20:48

tjaaltonand there's no wacom-tools anymore :)20:48
brycehtjaalton, durff20:53

=== BUGabundo is now known as BUGabundo_dinner
tjaaltonbryceh: that's one option21:02
brycehtjaalton, other options?21:03
* bryceh adds xsfbs21:04
tjaaltonwell that's probably the easiest one, though it adds some bloat to the diff21:06
brycehtjaalton, hey with the xorg-pkg-list versions report, I've been collecting each day's page, I guess for historical reference.  Is there actually some value to continuing to do that?21:19
brycehif you care only about the current day's versions, I could limit it to just producing one page, and get rid of the historical data21:20
brycehif there's some value to it I can leave it as is, it doesn't actually take up that much disk space21:21
tjaaltonbryceh: oh, didn't know/remember that. can't think of a reason to keep those right now21:26

rafiyrbryceh: If I just do a general update of the package will I get the fixed binary, or is that pushed to beta1?21:30
tjaaltonrafiyr: does it work without the kernel bits?21:30
brycehrafiyr, if you have the ppa installed, yeah you should get it by just doing a general update21:31
brycehif you don't have the ppa installed, then it will come via a regular update in a day or two21:31
tjaaltonthe archive is frozen, no?21:31
tjaaltonat least until tomorrow21:31
brycehtjaalton, right, which is why it will come in a day or two21:31
tjaaltonhum right21:32
rafiyrtjaalton: I think it should work fine with the 34-rc1 kernel21:32
rafiyrbut the last couple firmwares really broke everything, and will at least need that update21:32
tjaaltonrafiyr: so the kernel patches were from .34rc1?21:32
rafiyrtjallton: mostly, but the last one was a minor fix for BTN_TOUCH, that hasn't made it to the mainline yet.21:33
rafiyr-wacom doesn't really care about that event and is unaffected21:33
tjaaltonok21:33
tjaaltonwonder if the waltop will work with a similar patch21:34
rafiyrIt should be easy to test21:35
tjaaltonyeah I'll try that next weekend21:35
rafiyrI will need to test -wacom from that ppa.  I know the pen works fine, but I haven't used touch on such an old version for quite a while21:37
brycehrafiyr, I have a fujitsu multitouch laptop I can use for testing.  How do I check to see what mt hardware it uses?  lsusb, lshw, lspci don't give any indication of what manufacturer it is21:40
brycehother than Intel or 'Linux Foundation'21:41
rafiyrno vendor id?21:41
rafiyrBus 003 Device 002: ID 1b96:0001 N-Trig Duosense Transparent Electromagnetic Digitizer21:41
rafiyrThat first 4 digit hex code is manufacturer21:41
brycehrafiyr, nope21:41
rafiyris it serial?21:42
tjaaltonwhich model is it?21:42
rafiyrwacom was mostly serial for a long time21:42
brycehhttp://pastebin.com/gmkcEnfg21:43
rafiyrOh, try "sudo lsusb"21:43
brycehhttp://pastebin.com/p6zPqQP521:43
brycehlshw for good measure:  http://pastebin.com/GfWg11AR21:43
tjaaltonit's a wacom21:44
tjaaltonprobably serial then21:44
brycehhow can I verify that?21:45
rafiyrXorg.0.log21:45
Sarvatthmm thats odd, nouveau headers in libdrm get installed to ${includedir}/nouveau ?21:46
bryceh(II) config/udev: Adding input device Serial Wacom Tablet (/dev/ttyS0)21:46
brycehaha21:46
tjaaltonit doesn't work?21:46
rafiyrfor what its worth there was a press release that fujitsu and n-trig are going to work together for a next gen device.  One capable of supporting (gasp) more than 5 fingers21:46
brycehheh, like the most obvious place for it, didn't even think to look21:46
tjaaltonthe pen should work at least21:47
brycehrafiyr, awesome, the venusians will be so happy21:47
tjaaltonwow, I have ten fingers21:47
tjaalton:)21:47
rafiyrwell they actually said 10 or more21:47
tjaaltonlots of handwaving21:48
Sarvatttoo bad wacom only handles 1 or 2 finger gestures :D21:48
rafiyrplenty of talk about mt being interesting for multi-person interaction.  And for that, I could see wanting a bit more than 10.  Like for elementary schools wanting to support 10+ children finger painting on a giant table display that cost more than the teacher21:48
nishanthcan someone help me fix the desktop visual effects21:49
nishanth?21:50
tjaaltonjust ask, don't ask to ask21:50
Sarvattwould kind of help if you gave us more info on what the problem is :)21:50
brycehtjaalton, can I ping you?21:51
bryceh;-)21:51
tjaaltonbryceh: well you just.. oh, nevermind ;)21:51
brycehok, so stylus works out of the box.  nice.  no eraser though, and touch is not working21:51
nishanthwell i tried to change the appearance preference from none to extra and it does not do it21:52
rafiyris it just a matter of the X  config?21:52
nishanthit gives a prompt saying desktop effect could not be enabled after blinking a couple of times21:52
Sarvattwhere's this wacom patch at that extends it for n-trig support?21:52
Sarvattthe udev rules need updating for sure21:52
rafiyrhttp://ofb.net/~rafi/xf86-input-wacom_ntrig_2010_02_03.patch21:53
nishanthis there a way i can fix this?21:53
Sarvattnishanth: please run ubuntu-bug xorg and link the bug report here, we need to see logs21:54
rafiyrThe actual delta is just:21:54
rafiyr-{ 0xE3, 2540, 2540, &usbTabletPC   }  /* TabletPC 0xE3 */21:54
rafiyr+{ 0xE3, 2540, 2540, &usbTabletPC   },  /* TabletPC 0xE3 */21:54
rafiyr+{ 0x1 , 1122,  934, &usbTabletPC   }  /* N-Trig TabletPC */21:54
rafiyr 21:54
rafiyr-if (sID.vendor == WACOM_VENDOR_ID)21:54
rafiyr+if (sID.vendor == WACOM_VENDOR_ID || sID.vendor == 0x1b96)21:54
brycehmm, with some futzing in gimp, pressure sensitivity works, and the eraser will draw if I push hard, but no erasing21:54
nishanthcan you tell me how to do it plz... i am very new to linux21:54
Sarvattopen a terminal or press alt+f2 and type ubuntu-bug xorg21:55
brycehSarvatt, it's in the multitouch ppa you set up for me21:55
rafiyrbryceh: first off test the input device to make sure you're seeing the events (xinput test).  And if so, you might want to futz with the pressure curve setting with xsetwacom21:56
Sarvattsheesh chrome is using REDICULIOUS amounts of ram the past week or so, 10 launchpad tabs is using 1.5GB memory21:56
rafiyrYeah, things have gotten so bloated, lynx is eating 3.5MB, tsk tsk21:57
brycehrafiyr, yeah xinput test is seeing the eraser events21:57
rafiyrbryceh: xsetwacom -x get eraser Presscurve21:58
Sarvatti believe you need to create a input/wacom symlink and another symlink for input/wacom-touch for the touch device? the wacom udev rules are only creating the symlinks for wacom vendor id's21:58
tjaaltonare those links used by anything, or just for convenience?21:59
rafiyrDo udev and hal actually just poke at serial devices looking for wacom digitizers?21:59
rafiyrThe driver can certainly tolerate using a single device node for all three tools (that's the way I used to use it, until I split off touch).22:00
Sarvattoh it's a serial device? are you sure its even using wacom and not evdev then bryceh?22:01
tjaaltonevdev doesn't handle serial devices aiui22:02
rafiyrIf it did, you could check by trying to draw a straight line :)   (wacom smooths, evdev doesn't)22:02
Sarvattoh bryceh> +(II) config/udev: Adding input device Serial Wacom Tablet (/dev/ttyS0)22:03
nishanthok i did "ubuntu-bug -p xorg" it opened something called launchpad22:03
nishanthnow what?22:04
Sarvattguess he added the new match to the rules, are the subdevices not getting set up?22:04
Sarvattdo everything it says to file it and paste a link to the bug report when its done22:04
tjaaltonthe wacom rules already have entries for serial devices22:04
tjaaltonhas22:04
Sarvattyeah but only wacom and fujitsu22:04
tjaaltonand this was wacom22:05
Sarvatthuh.. i thought he was working with n-trig.. I'll shut up now :)22:05
tjaaltonhe thought so as well ;)22:06
tjaaltonI think22:06
tjaaltonnow I'll shut up22:06
rafiyr<sheep mode> shutting up</sheep mode>22:06
nishanthis there a way to fix the desktop visual effects22:07
nishanthalso does anyone know how to fix plymouth?22:07
tjaaltonwhat hw do you have?22:07
tjaaltonthe graphics card22:08
nishanthtjaalton : are you asking me?22:09
tjaaltonyes22:09
nishanthoh ok22:09
nishanthis there a way to find out what it is?22:10
tjaaltonlspci |grep VGA22:10
nishanthVGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)22:12
rafiyrWhile multitouch isn’t factory enabled for the touchpad, it can be turned on through the Control Panel.22:12
rafiyrbryceh: there's you're problem just go to the control panel...22:12
rafiyrMore seriously is the screen actually multi touch, or just the touchpad22:13
rafiyrThe xorg log should report the actual wacom model, I think, that might help to answer the question.22:13
rickspencer3RAOF, hi22:13
nishanthtjaalton: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)22:13
rickspencer3just checking wrt the x meeting on Thursday22:13
rickspencer3it's been a couple days, wondering if you've been able to make progress?22:14
tjaaltonnishanth: got it22:14
brycehyep, wacom.  draws nice straight lines22:14
nishanthtjaalton; is this some driver related problem?22:15
tjaaltonnishanth: if you already have effects working it's not a driver problem22:15
brycehgot the eraser working.  was a pebkac bug22:15
rafiyrwhat's pebkac?22:15
nishanthtjaalton: I dont have effects working22:15
tjaaltonbryceh: needed to configure it in gimp?22:15
bryceh(i.e. have to click the eraser on the eraser button first.  dhurr)22:15
RAOFrickspencer3: I presume you mean the meeting on Wednesday (or Tues your time?).  I've had some progress on the bug triage, but I wanted to finish off f-spot first.  I've got more time scheduled for X going forward.22:15
rickspencer3RAOF, yest hat meeting22:15
rickspencer3RAOF, ok, thanks22:16
nishanthtjaalton: i tried to change the visual effect from none to extra and it could not do it22:16
rafiyrum, yeah, with each physical tool, you click the gimp tool you want it to represent.  Just like drawing with the mouse.22:16
tjaaltonnishanth: then file the bug22:16
tjaaltonnishanth: create the lp account etc22:16
Sarvattthats an arrandale :(22:16
RAOFrickspencer3: I've got all the nouveau bugs in either upstreamed or waiting for information from the reporter state, at least.22:16
tjaaltonSarvatt: ok, so won't work?22:17
nishanthtjaalton: i did 22:17
rickspencer3RAOF, nice22:17
Sarvattit should work, theres just issues for some people, need a bug report to look at it more22:17
tjaaltonnishanth: so which bug # is it?22:17
tjaaltoncan't see it on the xorg list22:17
bryceh(--) Serial Wacom Tablet eraser: Wacom General ISDV4 tablet22:18
nishanthtjaalton: how can i check if it is there?22:18
bryceh(II) "Fujitsu FUJ02E3": Device reopened after 1 attempts.22:18
tjaaltonnishanth: check your profile bug stats22:19
Sarvatti dont see a nishanth user on launchpad, what name did you create the account with?22:19
brycehrafiyr, pebkac == 'problem exists between keyboard and chair'22:19
brycehor in this case I guess it should be pebsac == 'problem exists between screen and chair' ;-)22:20
rafiyr;)22:20
nishanthtjaalton : check now22:21
tjaaltonDriver"vesa"22:21
tjaaltonthere's your problem22:22
tjaaltonyou are not using the intel driver..22:22
nishanthis there a  way to know what driver i am using?22:22
tjaaltonfor one reason or another failsafe kicked in22:22
tjaaltonwell, vesa22:23
nishanthi think it is vesa22:23
tjaaltonI just said that :)22:23
tjaaltonit says so on your xorg.conf22:23
tjaaltonsudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf22:23
Sarvattnishanth: you manually changed the driver to vesa?22:24
Sarvattor did you install it recently with the safe graphics option maybe?22:25
Sarvattnot sure if casper's xforcevesa xorg.conf gets transferred if you install in that mode22:25
brycehwhat is "Virtual core XTEST pointer" ?22:26
tjaaltonthe appearance capplet should probably point out if the driver is vesa22:26
nishanthok i removed it22:27
nishanthtjaalton: why did you want me to remove it?22:27
tjaaltonnishanth: because you don't want to use it22:27
tjaaltonnishanth: then reboot22:28
nishanthi installed 9.10 with safe graphics mode and then i upgraded to 10.0422:28
nishanthso  all i had to do was remove xorg.conf?22:28
tjaaltonyes22:29
nishanthis there any other thing that i need to install to take its place?22:29
tjaaltonno22:29
Sarvattnope22:29
nishanthok22:29
Sarvattthat was the problem though, i'm surprised vesa even worked for you22:29
Sarvattmakes sense though, you should need to install karmic in safe graphics mode because its too old to support that new of a video card22:30
tjaaltonshould jockey offer to remove the obsolete xorg.conf if it knows the hw is properly supported?22:31
tjaaltonin the new version22:31
ricotzSarvatt, i think you need to update xserver-xorg-video-nouveau aswell http://cgit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau/commit/?id=e2146d3b29a4bea3d584c145e3190c3313692ed922:35
nishanthyay!! it worked22:36
tjaaltonthere you go22:37
nishanthbut still did not fix plymouth22:37
tjaaltonrun 'ubuntu-bug linux' then22:37
tjaaltonor perhaps it's plymouth again22:37
Sarvattricotz: i needed to update libdrm and such first before anything and that *just* finished... give me some time man :)22:38
nishanthso just type ubuntu-bug linux in terminal ?22:38
tjaaltonyes22:38
nishanthok22:38
tjaaltonit'll gather logs that the kernel team needs22:39
ricotzSarvatt, sorry dont wanted to push you22:39
brycehrafiyr, since this is a serial touchscreen laptop, is it at all relevant for our testing of MT?22:41
brycehotherwise I'll have to wait until the new hw comes22:42
tjaaltonbryceh: btw, some errors in the versions_current list. for instance -ati versions in debian are old22:43
rafiyrbryceh: if its mt, it will be eventually22:43
brycehtjaalton, ok I'll investigate22:43
tjaaltonbryceh: seems to be the only one22:44
nishanthstrange it did not give me a  new launch pad  page saying report it 22:45
Sarvattoops, looks like I got booted from freenode, nishanth: what exactly is your problem with plymouth?22:56
nishanthi dont see the plymouth animation when booting22:56
Sarvattwhen is the last time you updated your system?23:04
Sarvattyou don't see the ubuntu logo at all when you boot up?23:05
nishanthtoday afternoon23:06
Sarvatttheres not really much animation to it, if you boot fast enough I dont think it even loads the progress indicator dots, thats why I was wondering if you saw the ubuntu logo at all23:08
nishanthi am having a new problem now23:09
Sarvattwhoa is this new?? Get:1 http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu/ lucid/main libosmesa6-dev 7.9.0~git20100318.3c0eab71-0ubuntu0sarvatt [828kB] -- I swear it used to just say the ppa.launchpad.net part not the specific PPA its from23:09
nishanthmy mouse does not work on youtube videos23:09
RAOFSarvatt: Yeah, I think that is new.23:10
nishanthi think it has got to do something with compiz cofig setting manager23:10
RAOFnishanth: What do you mean by “does not work”, and why do you think it has something to do with ccsm?23:11
Sarvattfirefox or chromium? does it work with effects set to normal instead of extra?23:12
RAOFHooray for user-error bug reports.23:12
nishanthwell let us say you want to watch  a video from the middle  instead of the begining23:12
nishanthi am going to uninstall compiz23:12
RAOFnishanth: You mean: left mouse button doesn't work in youtube?  Right, nspluginwrapper bug.  Hold down the right mouse button & left click works :)23:13
nishanthoh it worked23:14
Sarvattnishanth: this kind of thing is more appropriate in #ubuntu+123:14
nishanthis there a way to fix it?23:15
apwbryceh, here are some test kernels with the i915 powersave turned off for <= 945: http://people.canonical.com/~apw/i915-powersave-broken-lucid/23:20
apw[    4.719350] [drm] dynamic power saving: broken=1 enabled=023:20
apwthat tells you that we think it was broken, and it was not enabled ... kerenel command line option is king23:20
apwbryceh, images are actually still syncing ... be there in < 10m23:21
apwSarvatt, RAOF ^^23:21
RAOFapw: Thanks.23:22
Sarvattapw:  sweet, will give it a spin as soon as its up23:25
Sarvattbtw i'm fairly sure only intel_i915gm_info intel_i945gm_info need it, it's a framebuffer compression problem here on mine and only those two have .has_fbc = 123:26
Sarvattbut being safe just incase is nice anyway :)23:29
RAOFDamnit!  apport-collect is failing again :(23:34
brycehRAOF, error?23:35
RAOFhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/537745/comments/5 seems to be one, and another apport-collect just set the tag without attaching anything.23:36
ubottuUbuntu bug 537745 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau "nouveau can't set screen resolution lucid 2.6.32-16" [Medium,Incomplete]23:36
brycehoh that nutty precondition failed thingee again23:37
RAOFI think the backtrace in that comment means that it's a launchpad problem, not an apport one, right?23:37
Sarvattoh hmm, i didn't think 915-945 ever had lvds downclocking support which would make the first hunk in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c useless but looks like it can23:41
