| tseliot | Sarvatt: where did you find nvidia-2.6.36-ioctl.patch? Did you write it yourself? | 15:34 |
|---|---|---|
| Sarvatt | nope, nvnews forum, lets see if I can dig up the post | 15:35 |
| tseliot | Sarvatt: ok, it was just to know what to give you credit for in the changelog ;) | 15:38 |
| diverse_izzue | hi all. i have an external screen that i've long used with my former laptop, which had an ATI X1400 chip, without issues, using Xrandr. I now have a thinkpad T400s, with intel graphics, running Ubuntu Lucid, and while xrandr detects the display, and lets me turn it on, i simply cannot get it to show an image. ideas? | 15:52 |
| * tseliot is finally uploading the new nvidia driver | 16:16 | |

| ubot4 | Ubuntu bug 623272 in notify-osd (Ubuntu) "Notification's background doesn't show completely (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/623272 | 17:49 |
| seb128 | could somebody comment on it and reassing, | 17:49 |
| Sarvatt | seb128: done, thanks | 17:59 |
| seb128 | Sarvatt, thank you | 18:00 |
| Sarvatt | no problem, sorry you get bugs like that. pixman is going through a rough spot | 18:04 |
| Sarvatt | i just fixed that in the ubuntu version but guess I haven't updated it from git in edgers since that fix, whoops | 18:06 |
| Sarvatt | RAOF: how about we just change the autoconfig logic for 8xx to use fbdev and leave KMS enabled? | 20:22 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt: By 8xx you mean 845/855 or all of them? | 20:22 |
| Sarvatt | just making it break instead of adding intel to the list so it tries vesa (and fails) and then fbdev (which'll work with KMS) | 20:23 |
| Sarvatt | ScottK: not sure, he wanted to disable KMS on i830, i845g, i855 at the kernel level which would force them over to vesa | 20:23 |
| Sarvatt | but it looks like 865 is as bad off as the others now | 20:24 |
| ScottK | That wasn't my experience yesterday. | 20:24 |
| ScottK | I got the one crash on logout, but the experience during the session was as good or better than lucid. | 20:24 |
| Sarvatt | how long did you use it? | 20:26 |
| ScottK | I used it for a couple of hours and left the live session up most of the day. | 20:26 |

| ScottK | Did theirs work on Lucid? | 20:27 |
| Sarvatt | finding tons of duplicates of this from people on 865 | 20:27 |
| ScottK | OK. Maybe I'm just lucky. | 20:27 |
| Sarvatt | good question :) | 20:27 |
| ScottK | All i865 != all other i865, so who knows. | 20:27 |
| Sarvatt | most look like crashes while watching videos using Xv if you want to try to break yours | 20:28 |
| ScottK | OK. Next time I'm free to reboot it into a live session. | 20:28 |
| Sarvatt | ScottK: I have 2 PPA's that may potentially fix the problem, would you mind giving them a shot at some point? I'll add the info to your bug report if so | 20:34 |
| ScottK | OK | 20:34 |
| Sarvatt | appreciate it ScottK, sorry to be a hassle :) | 20:39 |
| ScottK | No problem. | 20:40 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt: I'll go do it now, so I don't forget. | 20:44 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt: One problem I have in Maverick that's a carry forward from Lucid is I'm always in 2048 X 1536 after booting. | 20:56 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt: I'm up in the live session now, so just let me know what you want me to do. | 20:56 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt: I've even got kwin effects including blur (just had to knock it's intensity down a bit). | 20:58 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt: Playing youtube videos works nicely. What should I do to break it. | 21:03 |
| ScottK | Got your bugmail. Trying now | 21:20 |
| Sarvatt | ScottK: argh, I'm sorry, xchat isn't pinging me for some reason. You got the bug mail with the 2 PPAs? | 21:32 |
| ScottK | I did. | 21:33 |
| ScottK | Trying it now. | 21:33 |
| Sarvatt | any luck with either? the first is versioned lower than the second if you want to try them in order | 21:33 |
| Sarvatt | ah ok | 21:33 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt: What's the easiest way to make sure I know which one is actually running? | 21:35 |
| Sarvatt | hmm | 21:35 |
| Sarvatt | well with the first one you won't have a seamless plymouth - X transition | 21:35 |
| ScottK | I didn't. | 21:36 |
| Sarvatt | yeah thats working then | 21:36 |
| ScottK | Successful logout (no crash) with the first. | 21:36 |
| Sarvatt | oh boy | 21:36 |
| Sarvatt | RAOF: copy-fb patch causing problems on more than just sandybridge here | 21:37 |
| Sarvatt | ScottK: knowing if the second works properly will help a bunch also because it has a slightly modified version of the patch causing the issue | 21:37 |
| ScottK | OK. Trying it now. | 21:38 |
| Sarvatt | thanks man, you're confirmed something i've feared since it looks like there are a large number of bugs being caused by that patch :( | 21:38 |
| ScottK | Sarvatt: No crash on the second one either. | 21:41 |
| Sarvatt | \o/ | 21:41 |
| Sarvatt | ScottK: thanks! | 21:41 |
| ScottK | You're welcome. Thank you for caring about ancient shit. | 21:41 |
| ScottK | bad news though. | 21:42 |
| ScottK | enabling desktop effect with #2 froze the system. | 21:42 |
| Sarvatt | thats ok, it's not related | 21:42 |
| ScottK | OK. | 21:43 |
| ScottK | All done then? | 21:43 |
| Sarvatt | second one is a newer source than what's going to be in maverick, the refreshed patch only applies to that newer version as-is so just need to bring back some of the changes into our version | 21:43 |
| Sarvatt | ScottK: for now, thanks a bunch! I'll let you know when I have an updated package to try if you don't mind, working on it now because it also breaks a machine I'm trying to fix | 21:44 |
| ScottK | Excellent. | 21:44 |

| Galaxor | Hi. I'm using 10.04 amd64. I just added the ppa ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and did an apt-cache update. I want to install the latest nvidia driver, but I did apt-get install nvidia-current, and it said no new updates. I said apt-cache show nvidia-current and it says version 195, not 256, like I'd hoped. | 23:07 |
| Sarvatt | you need to sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade, not apt-cache | 23:12 |
| Galaxor | The apt-get upgrade does not indicate that it is going to upgrade nvidia-current | 23:15 |
| Galaxor | It's only going to upgrade nvidia-173-modaliases nvidia-96-modaliases | 23:16 |
| Galaxor | (and some other packages that don't start with 'nvidia-*' | 23:16 |
| Galaxor | ) | 23:16 |
| Sarvatt | try dist-upgrade? what version is installed now? | 23:17 |
| Galaxor | 195.36.24-0ubuntu1~10.04 | 23:19 |
| Galaxor | Isn't dist-upgrade for - like - going from ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04? | 23:20 |
| Sarvatt | nah it allows packages to upgrade that bring in new packages | 23:21 |
| Galaxor | Well, that gives the same list of packages that it's going to upgrade. Is it like, if I upgrade those packages then the next round will become available? | 23:22 |
| Sarvatt | i'm not sure why it's not showing up, does it offer anything if you sudo apt-get install nvidia-current? | 23:23 |
| Sarvatt | (don't let it install if it does) | 23:23 |
| Galaxor | nvidia-current is already the newest version. | 23:24 |
| Galaxor | is what it says. | 23:24 |
| Sarvatt | can ya run this command in a terminal? | 23:25 |
| Sarvatt | sudo apt-get install pastebinit && aptitude show nvidia-current -vv | pastebinit | 23:25 |
| Sarvatt | or just put the output from aptitude show nvidia-current -vv on a pastebin somewhere | 23:26 |
| Galaxor | http://pastebin.com/52AEfv5h | 23:27 |
| Galaxor | (fortunately, I already had pastebinit installed) | 23:27 |
| Galaxor | It looks like I have two nvidia-current packages installed -- one from Archive: lucid-updates and one from Archive: now. The one from Archive: now has not Filename or MD5sum listed. Does that mean anything? Or is that just saying "that's what you have installed now", and is normal output? | 23:32 |
| Sarvatt | i'm stumped. the extra Archive: now one is normal | 23:35 |
| Sarvatt | try opening up synaptic and forcing the version to the newer one and see what happens? | 23:36 |
| Sarvatt | or try sudo aptitude install nvidia-current=256.52-0ubuntu0sarvatt3~lucid | 23:37 |
| Galaxor | All right, it looks like it's willing to upgrade it in this case. | 23:38 |
| Sarvatt | did it have to remove anything? | 23:39 |
| Galaxor | It doesn't look like it. It looks like it'll go cleanly. Should I do it? | 23:41 |
| Sarvatt | just tried it in lucid with that package and it upgraded fine, I have no idea what happened | 23:41 |
| Sarvatt | yeah | 23:41 |
| Sarvatt | might want to check nvidia-current-modaliases and nvidia-settings versions too while yer at it and upgrade those if they didnt | 23:41 |
| Sarvatt | nvidia-settings will be 256.44, no changes between 256.44 and 256.52 | 23:43 |
| bjsnider | looks like he just hadn't upgraded yet | 23:44 |
| bjsnider | he didn't have two different versions installed | 23:44 |
| Sarvatt | off to the store for hurricane supplies, whee | 23:44 |
| === Sarvatt is now known as Sarvatt|gone | ||
| Galaxor | Sarvatt: Good luck! | 23:45 |
| Galaxor | Thanks. | 23:45 |
| Galaxor | bjsnider: Yeah, it was just weird because apt-get upgrade wasn't detecting that these packages had new versions available, even though they showed in aptitude show -vv | 23:47 |
| Galaxor | bjsnider: But if I install them with aptitude and specify the newer versions, it seems to be installing just fine. | 23:47 |
| Galaxor | Okay. I installed the latest nvidia driver and it fixed the xdamage/vino issue, so I'm happy with that. | 23:58 |
| Galaxor | but video playback with Xv still does not work. | 23:58 |
