| soreau | What is responsible for copy/paste functions in X? | 18:32 |
|---|---|---|
| soreau | Is it X or some other component? | 18:33 |
| lyhana8 | hi there, am I in the right place to ask for fglrx patching? | 20:14 |
| lyhana8 | patch is to be done on fglrx kernel module to compile again on kernels with CVE-2010-3081 fixed | 20:14 |
| ubot4 | lyhana8: The compat_alloc_user_space functions in include/asm/compat.h files in the Linux kernel before 2.6.36-rc4-git2 on 64-bit platforms do not properly allocate the userspace memory required for the 32-bit compatibility layer, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging the ability of the compat_mc_getsockopt function (aka the MCAST_MSFILTER getsockopt support) to control a certain length value, related to a "stack pointer unde | 20:14 |
| lyhana8 | need for ubuntu 10.04 | 20:14 |
| RAOF | soreau: X has a rich and complicated set(!) of copy-paste semantics :) | 22:44 |
| soreau | RAOF: Well it's rich with bugs now | 22:45 |
| RAOF | Sarvatt: Thanks for that pointer; I checked it out on Friday; that commit's not it :) | 22:45 |
| soreau | With recent X, seems 1.9.x, I have to copy twice before pasting | 22:46 |
| soreau | not that it's your guys fault but there are a whole slew of bugs in new X server | 22:46 |
| soreau | Delayed scrolling events for several seconds | 22:47 |
| RAOF | Copy twice before pasting? | 22:47 |
| soreau | Yes, first time sometimes doesn't work ie. empty string or old string is in the buffer | 22:47 |
| RAOF | Urgh. | 22:47 |
| soreau | have to do it twice on several occasions | 22:47 |
| soreau | but it's not just ubuntu, it's arch to (thus X) | 22:47 |
| RAOF | It's not _trivially_ reproducible here, but that sounds lovingly infrequent. | 22:48 |
| soreau | They really dropped the ball with 1.9.x | 22:48 |
| RAOF | I think the resources changes have triggered some edge cases. | 22:54 |
| RAOF | But by and large 1.9 seems pretty good. | 22:55 |
| bjsnider | soreau, what graphics driver is that? | 22:59 |
| soreau | bjsnider: for what? | 22:59 |
| bjsnider | on your system | 22:59 |
| soreau | RAOF: What are the benefits of 1.9.x? | 23:00 |
| soreau | I haven't found a single one yet | 23:00 |
| soreau | bjsnider: Gallium on rv350 | 23:00 |
| RAOF | It's got faster start up, the configuration is saner (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d, etc), there are a bunch of bugs fixed, GLX 1.4 actually works, etc. | 23:01 |
| soreau | glx1.4 didn't work in 1.8.2? | 23:21 |
| soreau | AFAIC, 1.8.x was doing great before whatever exploded in 1.9.x | 23:22 |
| soreau | because it's pretty buggy here | 23:22 |
| soreau | and I have no idea why FF is completely trashed after running for more than a couple hours (of course it's a definite major resource leak in FF since it happens on 10.04 and 10.10 after some update around the same time) | 23:23 |
| soreau | I can't even use FF anymore without restarting it all the time | 23:23 |
| soreau | likely nothing to do with X, but it's yet another frustration | 23:24 |
| RAOF | There were no end of problems with GLX 1.4 in 1.8 :) | 23:25 |
| soreau | I never saw any | 23:25 |
| soreau | I did see the faulty mesa warning go away though | 23:25 |
| RAOF | Maybe they were fixed by the time 1.8.2 rocked around, but it was trivially easy to crash X with a GLX 1.4 app. | 23:25 |
| * soreau wonders who the hell added that warning in the first place | 23:25 | |
| bjsnider | for whatever it's worth i'm not seeing any of this on nvidia | 23:26 |
| soreau | Any of what? | 23:28 |
| bjsnider | all these bugs you're describing | 23:28 |
| bjsnider | scrolling is fine, copy-paste is fine | 23:29 |
| bjsnider | afaik firefox is fine | 23:29 |
| soreau | The only X bug I mentioned was the copy/paste thing and FF is not an X bug | 23:29 |
| soreau | it's something wrong with their browser or some setting I inadvertently changed simultaneously on all of my boxes the use FF | 23:30 |
| bjsnider | thought you'd mentioned "a whole slew of bugs in new X server". not seeing them | 23:34 |
| soreau | Well for starters you can see compiz wallpaper | 23:36 |
| RAOF | I thought you'd tracked that down to a bug in libXdamage? | 23:36 |
| soreau | I managed to convince someone[TM] earlier today (finally) to put in a petition for a revert | 23:37 |
| soreau | See x.org ml | 23:37 |
| soreau | He was already convinced apparently but just hadn't bothered to do much about it until I bugged them to death :P | 23:37 |
| soreau | RAOF: Nope. | 23:38 |
| soreau | It's a bug in xserver | 23:38 |
| Wubbbi | Did the development of ubuntu 11.04 start? | 23:43 |
