[00:10] <RAOF> alf__: whether or not to put versioned depends on the dev package really depends on whether the package requires headers that new to build against.  I think the answer there is “yes”.
[05:36] <RAOF> Hah!  I know why my GM45 wasn't seeing any of the crazy troubles other people were — it's because I wasn't using dual-head.  Light up a second monitor and it gets much more satisfyingly dead!
[13:05] <Kano> hi, will maverick receive all updates for intel q2 drivers like libdrm?
[15:07] <bjsnider> tseliot, the alias in the modprobe.conf file "nvidia nvidia-current" is no longer being created by the packaging scripts. I just checked the maverick build and also the lucid ppa version. the file has the blacklist lines but not the alias
[15:07] <tseliot> bjsnider: I'm pretty sure it did it here. Let me check
[15:08] <bjsnider> i checked the amd64 build. maybe it works on the i386 one
[15:10] <tseliot> bjsnider: both i386 and amd64 have it here. Are you checking the nvidia-current-modaliases package or nvidia-185-modaliases?
[15:10] <bjsnider> i'm checking the nvidia-current package
[15:10] <bjsnider> i'm talking about the /lib/nvidia-current/modprobe.conf file
[15:11] <tseliot> ah, modprobe, sorry, I misread your message
[15:11] <bjsnider> echo "alias nvidia $(PKG_module)" >> $(CURDIR)/debian/$(PKG_driver)$(PKG_configdir)/modprobe.conf
[15:11] <bjsnider> that line isn't working for some reason
[15:12] <bjsnider> but the previous line is, the one that creates the file and puts the blacklist lines in it
[15:12] <tseliot> alias nvidia nvidia-current (on amd64)
[15:12] <tseliot> same in i386
[15:13] <tseliot> let me check the packages from launchpad
[15:13] <bjsnider> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/256.35-0ubuntu1/+build/1815988/+files/nvidia-current_256.35-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
[15:13] <bjsnider> that is what i checked
[15:18] <tseliot> bjsnider: I opened both http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51118394/nvidia-current_256.35-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb and http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51089588/nvidia-current_256.35-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[15:18] <tseliot> and both of them have the file in the right place and with the right content
[15:18] <tseliot> (I opened them with Archive manager)
[15:20] <bjsnider> every time i open the file here it has the wrong content
[15:20] <bjsnider> what is wrong with this system
[15:21] <tseliot> maybe you ran out of space in / ?
[15:22] <tseliot> or some memory corruption
[15:23] <bjsnider> when you open the file with archive manager, what is the path being used?
[15:29] <bjsnider> for me it opens out of ~.cache/.frxxxx
[15:32] <tseliot> /tmp/.fr-szP3xY/usr/lib/nvidia-current/modprobe.conf
[15:33] <bjsnider> ah, so yours is opening out of /tmp
[15:33]  * tseliot nods
[15:33] <bjsnider> i have 12 gb of free space in root, so i'm not sure why it isn't being used
[15:38] <bjsnider> tseliot, how big is your / partition?
[15:39] <tseliot> bjsnider: I have 9.4Gb of free space
