[00:04] hi [05:48] anyone around? [05:48] I have a quick question about gnome-settings-daemon and xserver-xgl [05:52] m1ndctrl: Oooh, that's a blast from the past! [05:53] glad to see someones up :) [05:53] Actually, I'm working on gettings xgl running across 4 monitors in one x session [05:53] I've had this running no problem in 8.04 [05:53] I'm on 10.04 now [05:53] and I'm 95% there. [05:54] I can get compiz working, and indeed xgl is running - however, gnome won't start. [05:54] Xgl has been *entirely* dead for quite some time. [05:54] agreed. [05:54] but it's the only way it will work. [05:54] unless you know of another way? [05:55] Unless those 4 monitors are all being driven by a single GPU, no. [05:56] indeed the problem is that I'm running two seperate gpu's [05:56] Right. XRandR doesn't yet address that use-case. [05:57] any idea why gnome fails though with xserver-xgl? [05:58] Oooh, boy. Not without logs, no. [05:59] can you point me where to look other than xsession-errors? [05:59] the error mentions debugging in gdb.. but i'd prefer to not venture there if possible [06:00] Oh, something's died with a X error? [06:00] mind if I paste what it says here? [06:00] Yes. Use a pastebin instead. [06:00] (It's the right thing to do anyway :)) [06:00] paste.ubuntu.com is one such service. [06:02] http://pastebin.com/cDA9HKvA [06:02] sorry [06:02] i just dumped my entire .xsession-errors [06:03] That's better than fine, that's good. It's almost always undesirable to paste less than the full log ;) [06:04] i execute this script in the gnome session I have configured (i just added a new entry as xgl.desktop to execute the following: http://pastebin.com/q5GNbged [06:04] i've tried ommiting the --display=:0, i've also tried changing DISPLAY=:1 and doing --display=:1 but no luck. [06:07] and as a random, sligtly humourous sidenote - when i execute glxgears X dies and i'm back at the login after it restarts. [06:07] not sure if that tidbit is worth anything, but thought I'd throw it out there. [06:08] Hm. That suggests that you're using nvidia… what drivers? All but the oldest nvidia drivers should be able to handle what you're doing without Xgl [06:08] i'm using 195 drivers [06:09] if i try it without xserver-xgl and i try and boot with each 2 twinviews and xinerama enabled I simply get a black screen and nothing else [06:11] i'm thinking it's not a driver issue.. maybe I'm wrong, I don't know - before it was running on the 173 drivers [06:11] maybe i should give that a go [06:12] but i'm not getting any X errors - just gnome... [06:16] RAOF: still there? [06:16] m1ndctrl: I am now. [06:16] ah k [06:17] in case you missed: [06:17] m1ndctrl> i'm using 195 drivers [06:17] 01:09 < m1ndctrl> if i try it without xserver-xgl and i try and boot with each 2 twinviews and xinerama enabled I simply get a black screen and nothing else [06:17] < m1ndctrl> i'm thinking it's not a driver issue.. maybe I'm wrong, I don't know - before it was running on the 173 drivers [06:17] 01:11 < m1ndctrl> maybe i should give that a go [06:17] 01:12 < m1ndctrl> but i'm not getting any X errors - just gnome... [06:18] m1ndctrl: Those errors were gnome trying to use X features unsupported (or incorrectly supported) by Xgl. [06:18] awww crap. that sounds bad. [06:19] perhaps I could try downgrading gnome to the 8.04 version? [06:20] You could, I guess. You might as well stay on 8.04 if you wanted to do that, though. [06:21] agreed :) a realization that's coming to form now. [06:21] however, my main reason for upgrading was due to transcoding issuse [06:21] I transcode 1080p files to my ps3 across my network [06:21] and 8.04 is slow [06:21] my issues are resolved on 10.04 [06:21] transcodes much better [06:23] i'm not sure why exactly... it's weird... [06:28] i truly don't care about the xgl effects however running the regular metacity non composite session results in horrible refresh rates and rendering when i have a bunch of programs open [06:28] something that simply doesnt happen with xgl [06:30] Hm. [06:32] There might be some other craziness in your setup causing this. What happens if you just run 2 separate X screens, each TwinView'd up? [06:32] with xserver-xgl or without? [06:33] Without xserver-xgl [06:33] with - nothing, same issue - xgl works - i can open all programs - but gnome wont start [06:33] without - i get black screens across all four monitors [06:33] they receive an input [06:33] i see them all switch to dvi [06:33] and then nothing - black screen - system idles [06:33] And if you only use two of the screens? [06:33] works fine [06:34] And if you use three screens? [06:34] Or one screen from each GPU? [06:34] 2 screens per gpu - 4 screens total. [06:34] so i do 2 x twinview then combine with xinerama [06:34] so that I can move windows across all four. [06:36] I was under the impression that you could actually just use twinview for all four, although I've never had a dual-gpu system. [06:36] i've tried it without using xinerama and it will work - however i'm limited to using the screens in pairs and not across all four [06:37] this is why i use xinerama to bind them all together [06:37] if i try with the regular xserver i receive the Xlib: missing RandR extension [06:37] which i'm assuming is RandR not knowing how to handle two gpu's? [06:42] m1ndctrl: No, that's Xinerama disabling RandR. [06:42] hmmm okay. [06:44] I'm trying to revert to an older nvidia driver [06:44] just to see if that resolves the issues [06:44] if not - i'm gonna head to bed [06:44] thanks for the help RAOF === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan [08:13] hey [08:13] pitti, hello [08:13] bonjour seb128 [08:14] pitti, how are you?

[20:00] ok the +v's will get fixed here in a minute [20:38] back [20:40] anyone know if bug 574050 is an upstream issue or something to do with our integration? [20:40] Launchpad bug 574050 in totem "totem detects HDV video but doesn't seem to know it can play it" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/574050 [20:40] i'm pretty sure its not really totem at fault but is it gstreamer in general, or something else? [20:41] no clue from me :) [20:41] though it does seem related to gstreamer [20:42] would it be gstreamer at fault for not knowing it already could play the file and then in totems case actually play it anyway [20:42] seems like maybe pitivi may be doing some additional checking and refusing to import, instead of just going along like totem does [20:45] ccheney, upstream issue in any case we do no change there [20:46] seb128: ok [20:46] try #gstreamer for questions though or #pitivi if that's a pitivi issue [20:47] seb128: seems to be rooted in gstreamer issue and pitivi probably is just using return codes from gstreamer properly while totem isn't (pure guess on my part) [20:47] it complains but works in totem and complains and refuses to do anything in pitivi [20:47] seb128: hey. do you think it would be possible to get ubuntuone-client 1.2.1-0ubuntu2 into -updates from -proposed? the bug has been changed to verification-done [20:48] dobey, when did it get uploaded? pitti reviews the queue almost daily but standard delay is 7 days [20:49] seb128: originally on Apr 21, as the patch was supposed to go into lucid final, but apparently there was some confusion with the upload queue then, and the older verseion got accepted to lucid. i think it made it to -proposed "5 days ago" according to LP [20:50] ok, so 2 extra days [20:50] ok :-/ === highvolt1ge is now known as highvoltage === almaisan-away is now known as al-maisan [21:52] hmm ... do we know if mvo disabled the hardy -> intrepid upgrade path? [21:52] i mean intrepid is EOL ... does its archive still exist? [21:53] asac: It's been moved to old-releases shortly. [21:55] hmm ... but do we still offer the hardy->intrepid>jaunty ... upgrade path? [21:55] or just hardy -> lucid LTS/LTS upgrades? [21:57] asac: Interesting point. === al-maisan is now known as almaisan-away
