ScottKRAOF: If one comes back to the computer on a not infrequent basis and finds the monitor just says "out of range", what's the best way to troubleshoot it?03:06
RAOFHm.03:06
ScottKRAOF: Also, any word on the KDE logout fix?  Daughter #2's X crashes seem to be increasing in frequency.03:07
RAOFDoes simply moving the mouse make things work again?03:07
ScottKNope.03:07
ScottK(10.04 if it matters)03:08
RAOFNo word yet on the KDE logout fix; I had three days off after UDS (which was such a good idea I'll do it again next UDS!)03:08
ScottKHeh.  OK.03:09
RAOFAs for the other problem - can you SSH in?  Is the system otherwise responsive?03:10
RAOFI'd guess that something DPMS-based is going to be the problem, so just turning off display power management should result in the problem not being triggered (also good to check).03:11
ScottKI wasn't around when it happened to try.03:11
ScottKOK, so disable the thing that powers off the monitor?03:11
RAOFYeah.03:12
ScottKWill try that.  Thanks.03:12

jcristauspeakman: there isn't.11:31
speakmanI've "apt-get source xorg-server" and patched the source - but how do I rebuild it?11:52
speakmanjcristau: any idea?11:53
jcristaudpkg-buildpackage11:53
speakmanI've tried, but there's no .deb file in .. when it's done.11:54
speakmannow running debuild -uc -us11:54
speakmanShould I make a new "version" or something? or just patch and rebuild?11:54
tjaaltondepends how you plan to use it11:56
speakmanjust fixing the segfaulting with xinerama11:56
speakmanhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/65053911:56

tjaaltonfor a single computer? then it doesn't matter11:56
speakmanyes single computer11:56
tjaaltonthough there might be other updates coming to the package11:57
speakmanbut really; why isn't this fixed in the standard repo? I guess there's many folk using xinerama11:57
tjaaltonit was fixed ~two weeks ago, and the devs have been travelling since11:59
jcristaunot that many11:59
speakmantjaalton: oki11:59
speakmanwow, now it has generated ~ 10 .deb files.11:59
speakmanwhich package holds Xinerama?12:00
speakmanxserver-xorg-core?12:01
speakmanor xserver-common?12:01
tjaaltonit's the server providing it, so -core12:06
speakmanok, thanks12:06

speakmanGREAT! Now everything works!12:08
speakmanNow Xinerama works perfectly. But it keep telling me "Xlib:  extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0".". Why?13:38
tjaaltonwhich driver?13:42
tjaaltonhmm wonder if running xinerama disables randr13:43

tjaaltonspeakman: ^14:00
speakmanok14:10
speakmanWasn't RandR supposed to deprecate Xinerama?14:10
jcristauno14:10
speakmanhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinerama#Deprecation_of_XINERAMA14:12
speakmanHow do I combine them?14:12
jcristaucombine what?14:14
speakmanRandR + Xinerama?14:17
jcristauyou don't14:18
speakmanwhy? why does one thing have to exclude the other?14:18
speakmanand why does things like gedit complain about missing RandR extension?14:19
jcristauone thing has to exclude the other because you didn't write the code to make them work together14:20
jcristauand gedit complains because gtk is buggy14:21
speakmanbut RandR isn't actually required?14:23
jcristauno14:31
speakmanoki. wondering why gtk is moining about it...14:32
jcristauas i said..14:33

tjaaltonoh hey bryceh 22:51
brycehheya tjaalton22:57
tjaaltonbryceh: nitpick; substitute -ati etc with ati/nouveau/intel, since "-" points to the X driver package, which is just for X22:57
tjaaltonor even use vendor names22:58
brycehgood point22:58
tjaaltonand "the option of just running X" -> "...X clients inside Wayland", or something23:02
tjaaltonhmm, it's a wiki, I could do that myself23:06

tjaaltoninteresting time on the wiki server23:10
tjaaltonit's ~20min behind23:11
brycehtjaalton, wouldn't you need to run the X clients inside an X server running on top of wayland?23:13
tjaaltonbryceh: yes23:13

brycehtjaalton, do you know if debian has packaged libxkbcommon yet?23:31
tjaaltonbryceh: doesn't look like it23:32
tjaaltonat least git.d.o doesn't have it23:33
brycehok23:33
tjaaltonbut I guess it's a fairly standard library packaging wise23:35
