| Sarvatt | sent a mail to kernel-team with a list of major intel bugs that need kernel patches since I can't get through to anyone with apw being on vacation :D had a bunch of radeon ones listed as well but all of them were cc'd to stable already | 16:17 |
| chrisccoulson | Should Xorg be able to control screen brightness when it's running on an inactive VT? I've noticed that gnome-power-manager is dimming the screen from an inactive user session (using xrandr), and I'm wondering if g-p-m needs to check if it's on the active console or not | 16:53 |
| Sarvatt | chrisccoulson: related to http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-power-manager/commit/?id=c7728fddf901635794edd7db299c7247f4c27ab3 maybe? is it a recent regression? | 17:07 |
| chrisccoulson | Sarvatt - that commit doesn't really affect brightess | 18:01 |
| chrisccoulson | i'm not sure if this is a recent regression or not, perhaps i just never noticed it before ;) | 18:02 |
| chrisccoulson | but gnome-power-manager has never checked whether it's on the active VT for display dimming | 18:02 |
| Sarvatt | where to start cleaning up all these X: ../../src/i830_batchbuffer.h:79: intel_batch_emit_dword: Assertion `pI830->batch_ptr != ((void *)0)' failed. bugs.. | 18:51 |
| Sarvatt | dpms events are hanging the gpu and giving batchbuffer I/O errors, and you get that assert when you switch VT's after its hung with that. almost all are dupes but the kernel guys are saying we have the fix in our kernel already even though the fix isn't applied when I check out the kernel source and look at the lines affected by the commit | 18:55 |
| Sarvatt | it's affecting a lot more than just 965+ like I thought, seen it as far back as 845 | 18:56 |
| Sarvatt | i probably dont notice it because i have g-p-m set to do nothing when i close the lid and such, my laptop turns off the display automatically when i shut the lid no matter what | 19:03 |
| Sarvatt | kind of annoying how it reloads the webcam every time i open the lid though :D | 19:04 |
| === radoe_ is now known as radoe | ||
| chrisccoulson | Sarvatt - i'm sure I remember having a similar issue to that a few weeks back | 20:05 |
| chrisccoulson | and then it worked | 20:05 |
| chrisccoulson | and now it's regressed again ;) | 20:05 |
| Sarvatt | chrisccoulson: yeah kernel guys are saying the fix is in the kernel but I'm looking at the source and the code removed from the fix is still there so its definitely not | 20:07 |
| Sarvatt | looks like it was just an oversight that it got dropped but we're getting a *massive* number of bugs about it | 20:08 |
| chrisccoulson | yeah, it does seem to affect quite a few people :-/ | 20:08 |
| Sarvatt | hopefully it'll be fixed soon :) | 20:08 |
| chrisccoulson | it will get escalated, as it's a beta-2 blocker now isn't it? | 20:09 |
| chrisccoulson | hmmm, it's not a blocker for beta-2 actually | 20:09 |
| chrisccoulson | Sarvatt - bug 447159 is the one isn't it? | 20:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 447159 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[i945gm] Xorg assert failure: X: ../../src/i830_batchbuffer.h:79: intel_batch_emit_dword: Assertion `pI830->batch_ptr != ((void *)0)' failed." [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/447159 | 20:10 |
| Sarvatt | if its not already closed because they thought the fix was already released, i brought it up on the kernel-team list though and pointed out that it wasn't really included in the latest kernels. usually I can bug apw about stuff like this but he's on vacation :D | 20:10 |
| Sarvatt | kind of, that assert happens when a VT switch occurs after the batchbuffer I/O error hang which happens when we dont have the kernel fix in but there are other things that can cause the batchbuffer I/O hangs too. I haven't seen any that weren't stemming from the kernel fix I'm talking about lately though) | 20:13 |
| Sarvatt | https://launchpad.net/bugs/535640 is the main one | 20:14 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 535640 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[gm45] GPU lockup de05bf80bf83cd22541cb55f1a2ee99e (xorg crash when opening the laptop lid)" [Unknown,Confirmed] | 20:14 |
| Sarvatt | but almost all of those duped in the one you linked are dupes of the one i just linked | 20:15 |
| chrisccoulson | ah right, i think i probably see all of those issues on my laptop at the moment | 20:16 |
| chrisccoulson | i get hangs on lid close and VT switching | 20:16 |
| === BUGabundo is now known as BUGabundo_dinner | ||
| Sarvatt | the original reporter in the one you linked has a problem because i915 loaded before the agp module did which is another fix, it's just getting *alot* of me-too's because its a problem now too | 20:17 |
| Sarvatt | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=commit;h=7b56712ff524ee55e38afaee3954d125f56a6070 is the fix | 20:19 |
| Sarvatt | was only in the 2.6.32-15 kernel | 20:19 |
| === BUGabundo_dinner is now known as BUGabundo | ||
| Sarvatt | what was that KMS wiki page again? I want to put a note on how to pack plymouth and such into the initrd so the boot isn't so ugly | 23:35 |
