| RAOF | Sarvatt: So, the question with nouveau_vieux is twofold: (1) Do we actually have the CD space to ship it by default, and (2) is it stable enough? | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| RAOF | With bonus (3): do we really want to add this feature by default after beta :) | 00:07 |

| alf__ | Hi! Are there any experimental packages for Mesa 7.9 somewhere? | 08:40 |
| vish | alf__: there is a mesa7.9 ppa from Sarvatt , might be what you are looking for | 08:42 |
| alf__ | vish: Great, thanks! | 08:43 |
| RAOF | alf__: There's also xorg-edgers if you don't care to follow what will (hopefully!) be in Maverick, or ppa:raof/mesa-egl. | 09:58 |
| ari-tczew | Sarvatt, around? | 12:26 |
| Sarvatt | tseliot: 256.52 got rereleased as 256.53 and marked stable it looks like - http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-256.53-driver.html . also got a little patch to make nvidia work on 2.6.36 i'm going to throw in the x-updates package - http://sarvatt.com/downloads/patches/nvidia-2.6.36-ioctl.patch | 15:13 |
| Sarvatt | no announcement on nvnews.net forums about it and no nvidia-settings tag in git yet though | 15:14 |
| tseliot | Sarvatt: yes, I had noticed the new release on phoronix but I wasn't aware of the existence of that patch. I'd still prefer to wait until I talk to Nvidia about the driver | 15:14 |
| Sarvatt | no worries, I'm going to hold off updating x-updates anyway since its the same driver and I dont want conflicting orig.tar.gz's in there :) | 15:15 |
| tseliot | good | 15:17 |
| Sarvatt | 1.3kb in kernel/nv-kernel.o and the version change in the makefile is the only difference | 15:20 |
| tseliot | it's likely that they simply marked the driver as stable by adding some signature | 15:23 |

| ari-tczew | Sarvatt, after upgrade to nvidia 256.52 from x-updates, my gdm won't login | 16:04 |
| Sarvatt | what do the logs say? | 16:04 |
| Sarvatt | i'm guessing could not find nvidia kernel module? | 16:05 |
| Sarvatt | do you have headers installed for the kernel you booted? did dkms install it right? | 16:05 |
| bjsnider | everything's fine here, so it's specific to his system | 16:05 |
| ari-tczew | Sarvatt, it's not nvidia issue | 16:05 |
| Sarvatt | what kernel are you using? | 16:06 |
| ari-tczew | Sarvatt, -19.28 | 16:07 |
| ari-tczew | Sarvatt, http://paste.ubuntu.com/486339/ | 16:07 |
| bjsnider | Can't open /home/ari/.profile | 16:07 |
| Sarvatt | yah that just says it failed, check /etc/gdm/:0.log or /var/log/Xorg.0.log? | 16:07 |
| ari-tczew | but .profile file exist! | 16:08 |
| bjsnider | is it executable? | 16:09 |
| ari-tczew | bjsnider, I don't know. here is it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/486341/ | 16:10 |
| bjsnider | well i don't know if that's the cause of the problem or not | 16:11 |
| bjsnider | mine has 755 permissions | 16:12 |
| bjsnider | the content of the file is fine | 16:12 |
| ari-tczew | bjsnider, I can't check this one now, because I'm on windows xp now. | 16:12 |
| bjsnider | line 34 of /etc/gdm/Xsession says test -f "$HOME/.profile" && . "$HOME/.profile" | 16:14 |
| bjsnider | so it seems like it's stopping at that point because that command didn't return the right results | 16:15 |
| bjsnider | so you need to go back into ubuntu and fix that file | 16:15 |
| bjsnider | i suppose | 16:15 |
| tseliot | Sarvatt: does the radeon DDX driver in xorg-edgers cause problems with Unity? | 16:34 |
| Sarvatt | am I on he right track here for backporting mesa to lucid which doesn't have regex support in dpkg-gensymbols? http://pastebin.com/THW7gA74 I haven't been able to find any info on what to do in this situation in any of the library packaging guides and just went off of what was done in libdrm-radeon1 | 20:43 |
| jcristau | just don't mention the private symbols in the symbols file | 20:45 |
| Sarvatt | and man, sandybridge is in *rough* shape. managed to get a KMS+intel ddx desktop up eventually but GL is rendering all black | 20:45 |
| Sarvatt | oh, even easier then! thanks | 20:46 |
| jcristau | especially for a ppa where nothing should be built against it anyway | 20:46 |
