coz_hey guys I am not sure about this... which aspect of ubuntu would be responsible for right click drive icons with no unmount available?02:36
RAOFcoz_: That would be something on the desktop; probably nautilus.02:43
coz_RAOF,  ah ok thanks  I was  getting confused about who would be responsible   :)02:45
RAOFHey, asac.  Bouncy network?03:03
Sarvatti think he switched to your old isp :)03:23
RAOFMan, anything touching i965g in any way is a one-way ticket to GPU hang.03:32
Sarvattanyone know if anyone has started debianizing mesa/demos? kind of hesitant to update mesa in edgers now with it gone03:32
Sarvatti'm not even putting that in libgl1-mesa-dri-gallium on edgers its so broken :D03:33
RAOFNot at this point, no.03:33
RAOFThere's no release with mesa/demos yet, is there.  I'm not sure if Debian want a snapshot, even in experimental.03:34
RAOFHowever... asking in #debian-x would make that clearer :)03:34
Sarvatti guess it wont remove the old mesa-utils on upgrade and it doesnt really change much so its not that big a deal03:36
RAOFYeah.  It shouldn't use any non-public ABI, which means that it'll survive just fine.03:42
RAOFOnce there's a release we can split out the demos, and there will be much rejoicing.03:42
RAOFMan, why doesn't debian have dbgsym infrastructure yet? :(03:43
Sarvattdoes debian still require locally built and uploaded binary packages for amd64?03:52
Sarvattor am I crazy and did they never do that? i haven't looked into it as much as I should have03:53
RAOFI don't think they ever* required that.03:54
RAOF* For values of “ever” extending multiple years back.03:54
RAOFYou *are* required to locally build and upload a binary package, from what I can gather.03:55
RAOFSarvatt: Hey, did you ever end up packaging libkms?04:34
lucazadehi Bernardo10:16
alf__RAOF: Hi!10:19
alf__Has there been any progress on the Mesa package with OpenGL ES support?10:24
macobryceh: you declined Bug #563100 a while ago, believing it to be a bug in the proprietary nvidia driver.  upstream, it was declared an X bug, and there is a 1-line patch to fix it. can you give it another look?12:59
ubot4Launchpad bug 563100 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled (affects: 33) (dups: 5) (heat: 232)" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/56310012:59
macobryceh: also, others on lp are adamant that there's not really a proper workaround since nouveau can't handle having 2 graphics cards in use at once13:00
akoya-6805do you expect ati multi-gpu configurations to work?13:03
macono idea. have they ever?13:08
macooh wait thats not in context of the bug i was just talking about for nvidia users13:09
maco(since you just /join'd)13:09
macoignore me :) im not an X person13:09
* akoya-6805 ignores maco13:12
coz_maco,  interesing...not x person either but I have noticed an issue with cursor on both single an dual monitor systems here... not responding well or jumping about the screen particularly on single monitor 13:13
siriusnovaHowdy13:28
siriusnovayou guys running the ubuntu-x-swat ppa?13:28
tseliotakoya-6805: it should work with fglrx14:02
akoya-6805not if one card is "legacy" ;)14:06
akoya-6805#radeon guys said i'need the vga arbiter...14:09
tseliotakoya-6805: you can't use fglrx and radeon at the same time, therefore, when I said "fglrx", I excluded this use case14:11
tseliotif you use Lucid, the arbiter is available. I'm not sure if radeon supports multiple GPUs14:12
akoya-6805fair enough14:13
jcristausure it does.14:13
akoya-6805with kms it's generally expected to work14:13
akoya-6805(accourding to #radeon adamk)14:14
tseliotI've never tried myself. I guess it's just RandR that doesn't make use of multiple gpus14:14
akoya-6805http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/439310/14:15
akoya-6805see for yourself, although that is with ums14:15
tseliotok14:16
tseliotakoya-6805: so what's the problem?14:17
tseliotor were you just asking?14:17
akoya-6805i guess my question had been answered ;) 14:19
akoya-6805but:now i have to troubleshoot kms14:19
akoya-6805reading on that now...14:19

dupondjehi guys. Is there somebody awake here atm ?17:08
bjsniderwhat an amusing article on phoronix about the openchrome driver, or whatever it's being called now17:10
dupondjehttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/562802 => any idea whats causing that ? seems to only happen with nvidia driver, not with nouveau17:11

AzelphurHi, anyone know how I'd hide the mouse pointer permanently?17:24
AzelphurIt's for a touch screen device, and there's no mouse going to be connected. So the mouse pointer just gets in the way17:25
Sarvattchrisccoulson: have you seen this? http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/xorg-x11-server/xserver-1.7.0-randr-gamma-restore.patch?view=markup17:57
Sarvattregarding the gnome-screensaver failing to restore gamma the second time problem17:57
chrisccoulsonSarvatt, that looks like it might fix it17:58
chrisccoulsonSarvatt - could you point RAOF to that when he's online?18:01
Sarvattyepyep18:01
chrisccoulsonthanks18:03
Sarvattmesa dropped 3MB off the tarball size by dropping demos, i was deleting progs/objviewer before making the tarball before too so it's probably closer to 10MB+ :)18:13
bjsniderSarvatt, did that adjustment to powermizer fix your gpu?18:32
bjsnideri need closure on that anecdote18:32
dupondjesomebody has any idea on my issue ?18:44
dupondjenobody ? :D19:00

Sarvattbjsnider: i haven't had time to test it, will test it now19:32
brycehmvo, Sarvatt, I've put in a suggestion that the xorg-edgers ppa-purge might be worthwhile to add to python-software-properties:  https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~bryceharrington/software-properties/rm-apt-repository/+merge/2598819:36
brycehmvo, Sarvatt, and rename it to 'rm-apt-repository' so it is matchy to 'add-apt-repository'19:37
Sarvattbryceh: nice, thanks for that!19:52
Sarvattbjsnider: no it didn't fix it unfortunately :(19:52
bjsniderthat's odd19:57
bjsniderwhat are you saying, that mobile chip users have to use an old blob?19:57
Sarvatti'm trying 173 out now to see if it fixes it, 195 and 256 for sure are screwed up19:58
Sarvatt256 even moreso, metacity is unusable with it19:59
Sarvattwith 195 just gl/glx are screwed up19:59
Sarvatthttp://sarvatt.com/downloads/nvidialol.png20:02
Sarvattthats what 256 looks like20:02
dupondjedidn't had issues with 256 btw, installed it yesterday20:02
Sarvattare you on a laptop?20:02
dupondjeyep20:02
Sarvattwhat GPU?20:03
dupondje01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce Go 7900 GS] (rev a1)20:03
bjsniderit's only the panel that's a bit screwed up20:03
bjsniderdupondje, the opengl version you're getting from glxinfo is 2.1 right?20:03
Sarvattbjsnider: yeah, unfortunately theres no way to fix it so it always looks like that, 195 gets that same corruption maybe 1/10 boots20:03
dupondjebjsnider: can't check anymore, removed it again, as it didn't fix the issue I had with firefox20:04
Sarvattdupondje: tried unpatching cairo?20:05
Sarvattrebooting into 173 now, lessee if it works20:05
dupondjeSarvatt: nope20:05
Sarvattdupondje: does it happen with an upstream firefox build?20:06
Sarvattor just the ubuntu ones20:06
Sarvatti'd try rebuilding firefox without the cairo patches20:06
Sarvattlike have you tried firefox 3.6.whatever straight from mozilla?20:07
dupondjeSarvatt: tried daily from mozilla ppa, and same issue, gonne try a version directly from mozilla 20:10
Sarvattyeah the daily ones have the same patches20:10
Sarvattcompiz looks lovely - http://sarvatt.com/downloads/nvidialolcompiz.png20:12
Sarvatt173 isn't any better :(20:12
virtualdsarvatt: http://www.openbsd.org/songs/song39.ogg :p20:15
bjsniderSarvatt, wait a minute now...let's think about this. 173 isn't any better? that code hasn't been touched in a very long time. why couldn't this be a hardware problem?20:19
Sarvatti'm not putting it past being a local problem i'm missing (old libs hanging around or something), setting up a clean lucid liveusb with persistant storage to try the blob out there now20:20
Sarvattand lol virtuald :)20:21
Sarvatti did use to install the drivers from nvidia.com manually for years on this thing20:21
bjsniderthat's right because you said it doesn't happen on a livecd20:21
Sarvattit didn't start having this problem until the move to alternatives in lucid20:22
Sarvattwell more specifically when we moved to 195, it worked fine when it was first moved to alternatives20:23
bjsniderthis is why i clean install the root partition every 6 months20:23
Sarvattsometime in early feb/late january20:23
bjsniderrolling upgrades work in theory but not in practice20:23
Sarvatti dont see *anything* it could be though20:23
jcristaubjsnider: tell that to the people who've been upgrading for 10+ years.20:24
bjsniderwell, they always seem to have problems they're willing to live with20:24
jcristau*shrug*20:24
Sarvatti've been using ubuntu as a rolling release switching to the new dev release as soon as it opens since intrepid at least with no problems20:25
bjsniderapparently not20:25
Sarvattnot sure thats actually the problem here :)20:25
Sarvatthmm what's /usr/lib/nvidia/pre-install20:26
dupondjeSarvatt: same issue with firefox straight from mozilla :(20:26
Sarvattdupondje: ah ok so its not the cairo patches..20:28
dupondjescrolling on launchpad is a disaster20:28
dupondjeXorg going to 100% cpu, and lagging like hell20:28
Sarvatthappen in other browsers too?20:29
Sarvattcant even use firefox at the moment to test it since all my machines are on maverick and firefox is broken because of the client side decorations :D20:29
dupondjeits better in Chromium it seems20:33
dupondjemax 30% cpu load or so20:34
Sarvattdo you have a quad core?20:34
dupondjedual20:35
Sarvattis it any better in a newer firefox or anything? 3.7?20:36
dupondjesame issue it seems20:36
dupondjebut gonne try to switch to nouveau now, as I didn't had that issue on it before I switched to nvidia20:36
Sarvattor is there any firefox release where you can't reproduce it so you can rule out things besides firefox being borked?20:36
dupondjebrb20:38
dupondjeand indeed20:41
dupondjenouveau has no single issue20:41
Sarvattoh you just had the problem with the blob? why am I not surprised? :D20:41
Sarvattwas it just with compiz enabled too?20:42
dupondjeno compiz enabled20:42
dupondjenot on nvidia nor nouvea20:43
dupondjeu20:43
dupondje:)20:43
dupondjeso fast with nouveau :) its a dream :D20:45
dupondjesadly nouveau doesn't have power control, it kills my battery :D20:47
dupondjeSarvatt: we can conclude that the nvidia driver is just 'broken' ? :(20:55
Sarvatt32 bit livecd - compiz isn't garbled but causes lots of pauses with the WAIT in xorg.0.log, glxinfo still locks up the system for 10 seconds or so..  argh :(21:23
Sarvatttime to try karmic out again21:23
Sarvattthrowing another wrench in it - when i deactivated nvidia-current and activated nvidia-173 it left nvidia-current installed and set up, no wonder if wasn't any different :)21:36
kklimondahey, is there a semi-official ppa with updates for X drivers?21:41
kklimondalike newer version of nvidia 195 driver for lucid21:41
Sarvattwow, that sucks.. it actually is a hardware problem i'm having. karmic is screwed up too and so is windows22:03
Sarvattkklimonda: x-updates22:03
Sarvatthttps://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates22:04
Sarvatti think tseliot put 195.36.24 in -proposed too if you dont want to jump to 25622:07
kklimondaSarvatt: either I'm blind or there is no 195.36.24 there - only a beta driver. I know that 195.36.24 may get uploaded to lucid-proposed at some point but now I don't see it anywhere.22:09
Sarvatti still have the sources around for the 195.36.24 that was in x-updates before if you want it22:10
Sarvattlet me find a PPA to throw it in22:10
Sarvatturg, nouveau 3D is working fine, what the heck22:11
kklimondaSarvatt: I don't need them - I'm just writing a small howto on updating sound and graphics drivers for stable Ubuntu releases. Right now on my LoCo forum there are a lot of people suggesting compiling alsa from sources and installing nvidia drivers from nvidia.com22:11
Sarvattwell that place is x-updates, I may have jumped the gun updating to 256 early but the same could be said about upgrading to 195.36.24 because I did it while those were beta too :) the 256 ones will probably be branded official instead of beta in a week given the track record for the past year worth of updates22:22
dupondjeAll we need is nouveau ;)22:24
Sarvattyup nouveau 3D actually works \o/22:27
Sarvattcant get 3D working right with the blob in karmic or lucid all the sudden for some reason22:27
dupondjeSarvatt: with git version or what ? :)22:28
Sarvattyea xorg-edgers22:28
dupondjesweet :)22:29
dupondjePower Management would be sweet also but alot of improvement has been done already22:29
Sarvattneed to use the 2.6.34 kernel in the ppa on lucid to use it though, not installed automatically22:30
dupondjeor Maverick ?22:31
Sarvattyea the one in the PPA is the maverick kernel copied over to lucid22:31
Sarvattnouveau hasn't been working in maverick stock for a few weeks now, needs to be rebuilt..22:32
dupondjeits a dilemma again :) go Maverick with issues, but bleeding edge :) or stay Lucid :p22:34
Sarvattif you use gnome i would just use lucid+ppas for awhile, maverick is all kinds of messed up thanks to the gtk client side decorations stuff being enabled :)22:36
dupondjenew kernel version is being pushed to the ppa also it seems :)22:40
Sarvattyeah just saw it was uploaded to maverick and copied it over. pcie aspm finally enabled in a ubuntu kernel \o/22:44
Sarvattwhat the heck is going on there - http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49099476/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick-i386.xserver-xorg-video-ati_1:6.13.99%2Bgit20100525.428125c0-0ubuntu0sarvatt_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz23:00

Sarvatthmm gnome-control-center's appearance preferences gives a warning that the blob isnt installed and needs to be to activate desktop effects even though it works fine on xorg-edgers, wonder if thats in the desktop effects integration patch or jockey23:21
Sarvattlooks like its the jockey-gtk --check-composite call23:22
SarvattRAOF: you were asking if I packaged up libkms?  http://sarvatt.com/downloads/patches/libkms.patch23:57
Sarvattit still doesn't build though23:57
RAOFSarvatt: Thanks.  I thought that while I was futzing about with egl/gles/openvg I might as well get the kms framebuffer drivers working, too.23:58
Sarvatti've got libegl here too - http://sarvatt.com/downloads/patches/egl.patch23:59
Sarvattthe egl/gles stuff needs a seperate branch of mesa 7.8 though i think?23:59
