SarvattKeybuk: did you ever have a bug filed about your RS600 problem?03:55
KeybukSarvatt: RS600 ?04:00
Keybukthat sounds like a kind of bike04:00
Sarvattlatitude XT?04:00
Keybukoh, the Radeon thing?04:01
Sarvattyeah04:01
Keybukno, I don't think I ever filed a bug04:01

ubot3Malone bug 544590 in linux "[RS600] video freeze with KMS (X and plymouth) (upstream patches available)" [High,Triaged] 04:02
Sarvattwas that commit I linked in there the same one that they put together for ya to fix it?04:03
Sarvattdrm/radeon/kms: initialize set_surface_reg reg for rs600 asic04:03
Keybuknot sure, the laptop and my notes are 5000 miles away04:03
Keybukbut it sounds familiar04:03
KeybukI don't think I ever actually got around to testing it04:03
Sarvattahh ok04:03
Keybukgot distracted by the nvidia which needed more active help from me04:04
Keybukremind me when I'm not in SF04:04
Sarvattthat GPU is like the rarest of the rare of ATI's, they pulled them from the market during the AMD/ATI merger 04:04
Sarvatt(and it's unusable with lucid without nomodeset at the moment)04:04
Sarvattit's ok, got 2 testers to build kernels for to be sure the fixes work :)04:05
Keybukyeah, that's what I was told upstream04:06
RAOFSarvatt: That's the GPU with GTT issues where it'll eventually corrupt all your ram, isn't it?04:08

artnayany chance to include new files into linux-firmware? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/56030610:18
ubot3Malone bug 560306 in linux "[lucid] ATI hd5xxx cards wrongly doing kms?" [Undecided,Confirmed] 10:18
apwartnay, whats the issue?13:53
artnayapw: there are several setups (seems like affected are only i5/i7 and 5xxx users) which don't even boot using live CD. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/560306 has the details and links.13:56
ubot3Malone bug 560306 in linux-firmware "[lucid] ATI hd5xxx cards wrongly doing kms?" [Undecided,Confirmed] 13:56
artnayif you compare the output of "dpkg -L linux-firmware | grep radeon" and http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/dwmw2/linux-firmware.git;a=tree;f=radeon;h=3dc32482fcf179c43e2fcc0b30303f231774820a;hb=HEAD it seems that 5xxx series is missing firmware files (which probably would help with the boot issue)13:57
artnayI could be totally wrong but that's the only way I see it at the moment.13:58
artnaythe bug was filed against linux but I moved it against linux-firmware (where it belongs AFAIK)13:59
apwartnay, ta14:00
tgardnerapw, I synced with dwmw2/linux-firmware before I left. Seems that he's added a few new files.14:02
tgardnerapw, here it is: 'radeon: add evergreen family microcode.'14:03
apwyeah looks like a rebase may be in order before release14:04
apw_if_ we can confirm it doesn't change any files at least14:04
apwotherwise selective picks at least14:04
tgardnerapw, I'm thinking I'll on;y add the evergreen stuff. there are lots of other changfes, but we should SRU them after the fact14:04
apwfair enough14:05

apwmjg59, to kernel-team@ ??19:45
apwor upstream, or :)19:45
mjg59apw: Upstream19:47
mjg59Should be on -acpi and -pci19:47
apwcool ... thanks for the heads up19:47
apwkamalm, your patch was miss categorised cause i missed removing the SRU: prefix20:29
apwi'll fix that up and repush it20:30
kamalmapw: thank you sir.   I must admit that I was^Wam confused about which [TAGS] and TAGS: to add or not add, and what purpose they all serve20:31
apwkamalm, yet another thing which is not well documented.  we tried to clean up the templates, and they are a hell of a lot better but they are not right still20:32
kamalmapw: well, we have in debian/commit-templates:  sauce-patch and upstream-patch  (but no just "patch" as the wiki claims).   I think I added [Lucid] and SRU: manually, following examples I'd seen, but I felt like I was mostly just guessing (and hoped some kindly human would fix it before a script got its mitts on it).20:34
apwputting things in [] are good as they get stripped automatically on applicaiton and [SRU Lucid] is probabally an appropriate prefix20:35
apwbut yes its all a bit broken and i've added it to our next sprint agenda for review20:35
apwtgardner, do i remember correctly that you were looking at the radeon firmware issue?20:49
tgardnerapw, yep, I uploaded a PPA linux-firmware this morning for the Evergreen series and asked for test results.20:51

kamalmcking: around?  I still get no joy from the acpi_osi workaround for bug 53947721:50
ubot3Malone bug 539477 in gnome-settings-daemon "Video out hot key sends super + p + return on many upcoming Dell & HP systems" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/53947721:50
ckingkamalm, care to send me your DSDT again and I will see why it fails22:01
kamalmcking: again?  I never sent it to you before (but will be happy to do so) -- lets make sure I'm even using the workaround correctly.  I've tried booting with acpi_osi="Windows 2006" and acpi_osi="!Windows 2009" but neither helps -- is that syntax proper (i.e. the quotes and the !) ?22:02
ckingkamalm, my fail, try this acpi_osi=\"!Windows 2009\"22:05
ckingkamalm, if that fails, send me your dmesg output22:06
kamalmcking: okay, that *does* work (yay!)22:07
kamalmcking: perhaps you would like to post a comment to the bug with this new and improved workaround?  The last post on the matter suggest using "Windows 2006".22:08
ckingkamalm, well !Windows 2009 will work until a new version appears and the kernel picks it up, then it will fail again22:14
kamalmcking: it'll do for now anyway -- I note that jerone's comment #20 in that bug recommends acpi_osi="Windows 2006" (with no backslashes) so it would not get processed correctly -- but I find that \"Windows 2006\" isn't helpful anyway.22:18
ckingkamalm, the Windows 2006 method may/may not work depending on the order and how the OSI probes are handled in ACPI. It's ugly and broken 22:27
ckingI've update the bug22:27
kamalmcking: thank you (for the update, and for the workaround!)22:28
ckingkamalm, thank ppetraki for this one22:28
ckingI like comment 22:29
ckingoops, I like the penultimate comment on the bug report22:29
kamalmthank you ppetraki :-)22:29
