[04:13] <RAOF> Now.  Does this *still* crash X?  Who knows!
[04:13] <RAOF> No!  Cool!
[04:30] <RAOF> Oh, that does :(
[04:40] <RAOF> Ensuring X doesn't crash would be more fun if testing didn't mean that X crashed :(
[04:43] <ajmitch> at least when you find that X doesn't crash, you know you've done something right
[04:46] <RAOF> Well, yeha.
[04:56] <RAOF> Doesn't make the failure mode any less obnoxious :)
[09:15] <RAOF> I'm looking for a sponsor for a tiny mesa upload to fix crashes in clutter apps with multiple stages like Quadrapassel - http://cooperteam.net/Packages/mesa_7.9~git20100924-0ubuntu2.dsc
[10:13] <tjaalton> RAOF: check
[10:15] <tjaalton> uploaded
[14:15] <andrewaclt> hi, when I try and watch a movie (vcl or Movie player) xorg crashes it seems and it returns me to the login screen. The only thing funny in Xorg.log.old is "intel(0): drmDropMaster failed: Bad file descriptor." This started happening overnight :/
[14:41] <andrewaclt> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9907713#post9907713 describes my issue, if anybody is willing to take a look :)
[14:53] <Sarvatt> andrewaclt: it's because you have drm_kms_helper.poll=N, that only works on a newer kernel and prevents the module from loading on the older one unfortunately
[14:54] <Sarvatt> because the module parameter didn't exist back in 2.6.32
[14:54] <andrewaclt> I see
[14:54] <andrewaclt> So it's loading the wrong module?
[14:55] <Sarvatt> it's not loading the module at all, if you remove that it should work again
[14:55] <andrewaclt> I see, thanks.
[14:55] <Sarvatt> no problem, sorry for not mentioning that when you were testing the newer kernel
[15:02] <andrewaclt> Sarvatt, Thanks, I'm glad a asked here, otherwise that would of taken me forever to figure out :)
[19:59] <Sarvatt> ugh, need to go through this mess of patches for xorg-server in maverick and see if one of them is the cause of server-1.9-branch failing to pass the tests now - http://launchpadlibrarian.net/56814698/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick-amd64.xorg-server_2:1.9.0%2Bgit20100930%2Bserver-1.9-branch.4d2542a1-0ubuntu0sarvatt_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[20:00] <ricotz> Sarvatt, hi, what do you think about adding kernel 2.6.36 to edgers?
[20:01] <Sarvatt> would be much appreciated if you want to put it in there
[20:02] <Sarvatt> are amd64 kernels building in PPA's again yet?
[20:02] <ricotz> would takes some time to upload it for me, but the current natty kernel runs fine here
[20:02] <ricotz> there is a commit which should solve this space issue
[20:02]  * Sarvatt nods
[20:03] <ricotz> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-natty.git;a=commit;h=2a96002816aec5f2dae290d473ee3620090088b0
[20:04] <Sarvatt> it could get hairy for external module users since they aren't going to bump the ABI till natty opens
[20:04] <ricotz> right, hmm
[20:05] <Sarvatt> wont be that long though and its not installed by default unless we do a meta package too anyway
[20:07] <ricotz> ok, i will upload it
[20:15] <Sarvatt> hmm maybe http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?h=server-1.9-branch&id=d4ef63f602325a9920dc1cbf64e3969dfa394d5f really did break the xserver tests
[20:16] <jcristau> there's a bugzilla about it regressing some stuff
[20:17] <jcristau> https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30267
[20:17] <ubot4> Freedesktop bug 30267 in Input/Core "openarena mouse faliure since dix: don't create core motion events for non-x/y valuators" [Normal,Reopened]
[21:40] <achiang> hello, which library provides this API - XkbChangeTypesOfKey() ; is it libxkbfile?
[21:41] <vish> gah! why does something in stock always not work for me :( 
[21:41] <vish> if i use the mainline kernels, i dont have problems with X :(
[21:44] <jcristau> achiang: libX11
[21:44] <achiang> jcristau: thank you. i have a bug with a test case
[21:45] <achiang> jcristau: it's present in lucid and still present in maverick. i haven't gotten around to testing upstream yet, because i haven't figured out how to test the latest upstream
[21:46] <vish> when did the drm changes land ? was that in .32-16 ?
[21:49] <Sarvatt> vish: yeah but there have been quite a few updates since then with drm bits from .34 and .35 stable even. what's wrong now?
[21:49] <jcristau> achiang: that function hasn't changed in years, it's either a server bug or it's not fixed upstream
[21:49] <jcristau> achiang: so best to file your bug there imo.
[21:49] <vish> Sarvatt: remember i had shown a video, of /only/ the guest session flickering?
[21:49] <achiang> jcristau: i don't know much about this actually; i'm passing the bug along for a customer who discovered it. would you like to see the test case?
[21:49] <vish> its been the same issue since then
[21:50] <Sarvatt> radeon? the new_pll problem?
[21:50] <vish> yup, thats the one
[21:50] <jcristau> achiang: i wouldn't know what to do with it :)
[21:50] <achiang> jcristau: or, i can just file an upstream bug, that's easy enough
[21:50] <jcristau> xkb scares me.
[21:50] <Sarvatt> they disabled new_pll on rv515 but i think you had a rv530?
[21:50] <vish> i have RV515
[21:51] <Sarvatt> oh maybe i had those backwards, or the proposed kernel with the fix isnt out yet
[21:51] <vish> well, i'm on maverick :)
[21:51] <Sarvatt> mainline .35.x works?
[21:52] <Sarvatt> they ripped out new_pll completely in .36 afaik
[21:52] <vish> i was using mainline maverick kernel on a lucid system, but now i'm fully on maverick stock
[21:52] <vish> and still the same ol issue
[21:53] <Sarvatt> sounds like the fix only got backported to lucid, and will come down from the next .35 stable update, let me make sure
[21:54]  * vish files a bug again .. 
[21:54] <vish>  i think the last one got duped to some other bug with the flickering..
[21:55] <Sarvatt> http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=0d9958b18e10d7426d94cc3dd024920a40db3ee2
[21:55] <Sarvatt> there it is  upstream, dont see it in ubuntu/ubuntu-maverick.git
[21:57] <vish> Sarvatt: should i file the bug in kernel? or in -ati ?
[21:57] <Sarvatt> its in 2.6.35.5
[21:58] <Sarvatt> vish: it shouldnt even be needed, we'll get it free whenever the kernel can get updated next
[21:59] <vish> Sarvatt: hehe, i tried waiting for this lucid last time :D , and maverick is here.. 
[21:59]  * vish crosses fingers this time ;)
[22:00] <Sarvatt> i know there's a 2.6.35-23 kernel in a kernel team ppa somewhere..
[22:01] <Sarvatt> https://edge.launchpad.net/~leannogasawara/+archive/kernel-ppa
[22:02] <Sarvatt> pretty sure thats intended to go in maverick before the release, or on the same day
[22:02] <vish> cool!
[22:03] <Sarvatt> at least you dont have an rv530, the need the same quirk and dont have it yet :)
[22:03] <vish> :)
[22:05] <vish> i need to check the new_pll quirk too! iirc, the last time what it did was delay the problem much longer..
[22:05]  * vish tries ppa and makes sure.. ;)
[22:42] <Sarvatt> wow people weren't kidding about the conservative governor being a lot better than ondemand in recent kernels
[22:52] <achiang> Sarvatt: hm, where's a link to that train of thought?
[22:53] <Sarvatt> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2010-September/012168.html
[22:55] <achiang> Sarvatt: interesting thanks
[22:55] <Sarvatt> it seems more willing to go into higher p-states for shorter periods of time and chrome feels more responsive because of it, of course it could be all in my head :)
[22:56] <Sarvatt> things have been unbearably slow all throughout maverick here
[22:56] <achiang> Sarvatt: but if you read through to the end of the thread, you see this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2010-September/012176.html
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
[23:00] <achiang> Sarvatt: well, mjg59 says "conservative takes longer to drop back to lower frequencies; So it's just about plausible; Depending on the workload..."
[23:27] <mrooney> hey all, I'm testing Maverick and getting frequent X restarts when using the proprietary nvidia drivers, is there value in debugging the issue and filing a bug?
