| Takyoji | Is there any further information that I should (and am able to) disclose for this bug report? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/604192 | 00:12 |

| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 604192 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "Screen goes blank and flashes vertical stripes on 1s interval (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 00:12 |
| RAOF | Sarvatt: Rock on, dude, thanks! We've been publically targetting xserver 1.9 since UDS, and it looks like it's going to be in a better state than 1.8 anyway. | 00:38 |
| RAOF | Takyoji: An i845 chip? Dear lord, I'm surprised it works at all :/ | 00:39 |
| RAOF | Takyoji: If you're prepared to do a bunch of work, though, that bug looks like it would be amenable to a regression analysis via bisection. | 00:40 |
| Takyoji | out of curiosity, how would it not be able to work? :P | 00:44 |
| Takyoji | also, is there any specific guide(s) available for regression analysis? | 00:45 |
| RAOF | Hm. | 00:50 |
| RAOF | I'm not sure if we've got a bisection howto page on the wiki. Let me check. | 00:51 |
| RAOF | Takyoji: The basic principle would be to: (a) Check which component is broken (options here are xserver-xorg-video-intel, the kernel, mesa, or libdrm). | 00:51 |
| RAOF | (b) Check out the git source of that component, and run "git bisect" to rebuild it at different points between 9.10 and 10.04 to work out precisely when it broke. | 00:52 |
| RAOF | Takyoji: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bisecting is a bit of an overview; there's also the bisecting mesa page linked from there. | 01:04 |
| Takyoji | ahh, alrighty | 01:05 |
| Takyoji | So I don't even have to overlook the source code then; just simply find what exact revision broke it? | 01:07 |
| RAOF | Right. | 01:09 |
| RAOF | You can do that without needing to know anything about the source. | 01:09 |
| RAOF | First off, though, you need to know which component broke, so you'll want to try each of the 9.10 components in 10.04, one at a time. | 01:10 |
| Takyoji | So first I have to verify which component it even is, before going through bisecting, correct? | 01:16 |
| RAOF | Takyoji: Yes. Because you need to be able to identify a good point and a bad point in the same source. | 01:35 |
| RAOF | Then you can run a bisection over that git history. If you don't have a good *and* a bad point in the same git source then you can't checkout the commit half way between, work out whether it's good or bad, and then repeat. | 01:40 |

| RAOF | Alright ladies and gentlemen! Let your i8xx gpus feast on the joy that is https://edge.launchpad.net/~raof/+archive/aubergine | 09:31 |
| RAOF | Everyone *else* who feels like a test could ensure that it doesn't break your working Intel GPU. | 09:39 |
| Duke` | what's the difference with xorg-edgers? | 09:41 |
| RAOF | The re-introduction of a legacy, non-GEM UMS codepath. | 09:44 |
| RAOF | ie: work around the various longstanding breakages on i8xx cards which were caused by assuming various bits of the hardware actually worked by not using it. | 09:45 |

| vish | do we install the nvidia-settings package by default for all nvidia users? | 11:37 |
| tseliot | vish: the nvidia packages recommend nvidia-settings | 11:46 |
| tseliot | it's treated as a dependency | 11:47 |
| vish | tseliot: ah ok , thanks | 11:47 |
| tseliot | vish: BTW did the gtk guys reply to your request to integrate my patch for that papercut now that we know that Orca would work fine? | 11:48 |
| vish | tseliot: yeah , i'll have to poke ebassi again today.. | 11:49 |
| tseliot | vish: ah, good | 11:49 |
| vish | he was the one who requested review from accessibility folks | 11:49 |
| tseliot | ok, let's see if he decides to include the patch now or if he has further requests | 11:50 |

| scar_ | what's the most stable 2.6.35 kernel? I've tried the one that comes with mavrick alpha2 and I've tried lucid with linux-image-2.6.35-7-generic-pae. I know this is bit off topic but I'm trying to test xorg-edgers' nouveau driver so I need a 2.6.35 kernel | 16:17 |
