jgbryceh: beta 2 wouldn't even boot at all on that Latitude XT I've got.  Sigh.00:06
brycehjcristau, what do you think of this patch - http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32728179/xserver-xorg-backclear.patch00:19
brycehjcristau, it's from the fglrx folks and solves a rather longstanding issue for fglrx users, but I'm uncertain how it'd affect !fglrx folks00:19
brycehjcristau, anyway my guess is the patch just pushes issues to other use cases00:44
Sarvattbryceh: that bug makes my head hurt01:59
Sarvattread probably 200 comments on it just now, i'd say 90% of them are people giving *really* bad advice people might actually try :)02:00
Sarvattahhh darnit, the new git-core update we got made me think my packaging repos were messed up and I started over, but the huge warnings are happening everywhere now after all02:02
brycehSarvatt, yeah there's a lengthy blog post I did a while back on all the evils of me-too storms02:04
Sarvattoops, looks like it was an actual change in git functionality that broke how I use it, crap02:04
Sarvattno, i'm just an idiot and was updating the wrong package. need sleep :)02:06
Sarvattbryceh: yeah I remember that, almost makes me wish we could tag bug comments as inappropriate and have a filter for them :)02:07
brycehyep02:08
RAOFThat's an interesting idea.  Allow maintainers to flag comments as “The maintainer thinks that taking this advice is a BAD IDEA” or somesuch.02:08
brycehI still think we need launchpad to require > N karma in order to comment on someone else's bug, especially once it's gotten more than a dozen comments02:08
RAOFThat would probably work, particularly if it encouraged people with insufficient karma to file a new bug.02:12
bryceh(or just click 'affects me too')02:12
RAOFThat too.02:13
RAOFAlthough we'd miss bugs that way.02:13
Sarvattis affects me too even useful? if it affects someone I want to see their system info02:13
RAOFBecause there's a significantly higher than 0 chance that this particular bug does *not* affect them too, and they've got a different one.02:13
Sarvattspecifically if its a bug requiring a hardware specific quirk to be added02:14
brycehSarvatt, it's useful in making the reporter feel they have done their part, without cluttering our bug tracker with useless 'me-too' comments ;-)02:14
RAOFThat could have a technological solution - if apport-collect didn't laboriously attach everything as an individual comment, but instead just added a link with “here's the data of another person who thinks they've got this bug” we could make that happen.02:15
RAOFMaking apport-collect less intrusive would be a worthwhile goal regardless, I tihnk.02:16
brycehyep02:16
RAOFLaunchpad just isn't sufficiently awesome.  It'd be useful to be able to issue queries like “what hardware has been reported affected by this bug”, and suchlike...02:18
brycehor the inverse... "Show me what bug reports have been reported against this hardware"02:20
RAOFHell, yes.02:20
brycehimagine if launchpad had the ability to show you a list of bugs that excluded ones that aren't applicable to it02:20
bryceher applicable to the hardware you are on02:21
brycehwould eliminate many false-positives02:21
brycehwell, one day we'll have that, in time for debugging our flying cars02:21
* bryceh > dinner02:27
Sarvattpart of me wants to drop a huge number of patches in edgers packages just so things are closer to upstream for people asked to test on bug reports, but then the other part wants to do things like backporting EXA from master to 1.7 branch :D02:32
KiBiat 3:30am? Crazy guy02:32
KiBiSarvatt: please backport EXA stuff; that'll spare me some work :)02:32
KiBi(the other part here needs to sleep, sucky one..)02:33
RAOFSarvatt: Dropping patches in edgers seems reasonable to me; upstream bug testing is one of its purposes.02:33
SarvattKiBi: I've been doing it for a month or so already - http://sarvatt.com/downloads/patches/exa_backport_to_1.7.6.patch02:33
KiBiah, fat huge patch :)02:33
KiBi(thanks for the pointer anyway)02:34
Sarvatthaven't heard any complaints, i've been doing it that way because i dont have time to bring in xserver 1.8 and rebuild the world and its supposed to be a significant speed up02:35
Sarvatt(plus it fixes the xfig crashing the server bug)02:38
Sarvattthats just a git diff xserver-1.7.6..master exa/ btw02:41
KiBiSarvatt: what I wanted to do would be more like cherry-picking targeted fixes so I guess I'm going to sleep later :)02:52
Sarvattoh nice, http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=1760d2bef9f5b248cb2332f6ebf0220eb02bab42 applies to our 1.7.6 too, can finally test out chromium webgl :)03:02
AmaranthSarvatt: But then programs will start trying to use it and almost certainly run in to some sort of bugs04:44
SarvattI'm not suggesting using it ubuntu or anything, i'll be glad if I do find something broken by it so I can report it :)04:49
AmaranthWell I can't say bug 562773 was unexpected but I was rather surprised to see it filed against compiz06:14

Dr_JakobOk I'll try17:53
Sarvattupgrading doesn't work, CRC errors, it's not specific to xserver-xorg-core-dbg for me and it happens to any dbg packages for things currently in use when I  upgrade17:54
Dr_Jakobah ok17:54
Dr_JakobStill get the CRC error tho...17:55
Sarvattapw: sorry looking into it in 20 minute chunks between jobs so its taking awhile, really need to find out the panic message when it panics for him but it seems related to the external tmds on there17:55
Dr_Jakobthis is 64bit btw...17:56
Sarvattodd, i've been having that problem for months and that routine works for me every time17:57

apwbryceh, about?19:02
brycehyeah19:07
apwbryceh, rickspencer3 says you have some machines which have 'serious i915 issues'19:27
apwand so i am wondering what the issues are, as the kernel is uploaded19:27
brycehapw, ??19:31
brycehapw, afaik the only thing we're really worrying about at this stage are a few 8xx cards19:31
apwbryceh, hrm if you don't know then i guess they don't exist19:31
brycehbut we shut off dri in them the other day in ums19:32
apwthen perhaps its all nothing19:32
brycehwe might ask you to do a couple more kms blacklists, but testing so far isn't indicating it solves the freezes anyway19:32
brycehapw, do you need to roll a kernel rev to add blacklists?19:33
apwyep blacklists are a full kernel upload19:33
apwdo you think you have a few you need?19:33
apwif so we might want to plan on getting one upload like late friday with the accumulation19:33
apwand start asking for permission19:34
brycehwell like I said we have been considering it for a few 8xx chips, but so far testing with i915.modeset=0 on those cards hasn't shown it improves things, so maybe not19:34
apwi have a bad dell bug outstanding which i need to get fixed, which if i do i suspect will be allowed past freeze too19:34
brycehlet me check the state of the bug reports in question19:34

* vish brb20:10
apwbryceh, are you asking for more than those 3 ID above to be blacklisted on that bug ?20:11
brycehapw, yeah, while we're at it we may as well do the earlier chips.  I don't think anyone has been testing them but if these three dont' work, those older ones won't either20:12
brycehapw, those earlier ones aren't even supported upstream any longer in the newer -intel so we're going to have to drop them down to -vesa 20:13
brycehapw, what do you think?20:14
apwi am really in your hands ... that sounds plausible20:14
brycehapw, fwiw, blacklisting kms is going to give us only marginal benefits as near as I can tell, so I'm a bit on the fence20:14
apwbryceh, as in they are as bad on UMS as well?20:15
apwbryceh, these older ids don't seem to be in the driver, so i don't think it will attach to i91520:15
brycehapw, yeah the testers say the freezes still happen, just less often20:15
