Sarvattsweet, flash has vdpau and crystalhd acceleration now00:14
RAOFcrystalhd?00:16
Sarvattthat broadcom card a lot of netbooks ship with to do video acceleration00:23
Sarvattthey're pretty cheap, i've got a spare full sized mini pcie slot in my netbook and it's tempting :)00:24
RAOFHeh.00:40
bjsniderSarvatt, not on 64 bit it doesn't01:19
RAOFEh.01:22
bjsnideri'd like to see flash go the way of realplayer01:23
bjsniderremember realplayer?01:23
ionDoes Flash still do scaling and color format conversion in software even though using VDPAU?02:01
RAOFI think VDPAU's powerful enough to actually make that work; whether Flash uses it or not I don't know02:04
ionAh, sorry, i mixed up VDPAU and VA-API. I’ve tried xvba-va-driver (which provides VA-API for fglrx), and vlc seems to still use Xv or one of its equivalents with it, which lead to my question.02:10
Sarvatthmm yeah our libvdpau is still all kinds of messed up regarding 32 bit on amd64, we just dropped the 32 bit build because ia32-libs is in universe, it needs to be built with --with-module-dir=/usr/lib32 to work there from what I can see02:11
Sarvattyou have to set the moduledir path at compile time to adjust where it looks for the drivers looking at this http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/libvdpau/commit/?id=0537b13e292bc772e984872a3986e41fb51f925802:15

Sarvatt(with flash 10.2 beta on i386 of course)02:33
bjsniderwho uses i386 anymore?02:38
Sarvatti care about wine and using xorg-edgers without the mess that is ia32-libs :)02:43
bjsniderwell, perfect ia32-libs02:46
bjsniderdon't abandon 64 bit just for that02:46
Sarvattyeah let me just upload a 700mb package every day when I update mesa02:47
bjsnideria32-libs is now 700 mb?02:47
Sarvattia32-libs_20090808ubuntu10~wineppa1.tar.gz (795.0 MiB)02:48
RAOFWe should be getting multiarch Real Soon Now™02:49
bjsnidermight as well just use the i386 cd image02:49
Sarvatt64 bit kernel 32 bit userspace would be ideal but they said no to that idea at UDS02:49
hyperairSarvatt: why so?02:50
hyperairRAOF: it was Real Soon Now™ a year ago.02:51
Sarvatt"just use 64 bit" "we've got too many kernel flavors" "We should be getting multiarch Real Soon Now™" :)02:51
* hyperair sighs02:51
Sarvattreally though I think its real soon now for real this time02:52
hyperairi guess02:52
hyperairSarvatt: at the dpkg level?02:52
hyperairafaik it needed some FHS transitioning to be done.02:52
RAOFMy understanding is that Linaro wants it, and has someone doing it.02:53
hyperairRAOF: multiarch, or the 64-bit kernel and 32-bit userspace02:54
SarvattI heard people bugging slangasek about it at a bunch of sessions :)02:54
RAOFMultiarch.02:54
hyperaircool02:54
RAOFI guess at least in part because there's a bunch of ARM architectures which reasonably exist in parallel.02:54
hyperairhm02:55
Sarvattit was mostly NAKed because you can do 64 bit kernel 32 bit userspace now anyway if you do it manually and supporting it would be a nightmare with all the little problems it causes :)02:59
Sarvattlast I checked blobs wouldn't work so haven't tried it yet03:01
SarvattRAOF: the do nothing approach is probably the best, I dont think option 2 will even be possible with fbcon built into the kernel? plus nvidia is installable with persistant storage and booting off of usb to test isn't that tall an order.. that being said I'd love to see nouveau on there by default even if just to see the impact while it's early in the cycle and easily backed out if it truly is bad off which would be opposite to my experiences wit07:42
Sarvatth it07:42
Sarvattwe need a ddx update07:43
RAOFYeah.07:43
RAOFI was going to get to that after getting mesa master to not segfault when alt-tabbing in compiz.07:43
Sarvattwill get edgers updated to natty's mesa packaging this week07:45
brycehRAOF, uh oh looks like the last minute code for 1.10 is knocking on the door07:53
Sarvatthopefully xinput 2.1 that we wanted to do 1.10 for in the first place makes it :)07:54
RAOFAh.  That's an impressive 190 unread X messages since yesterday!07:54
RAOFMany of which seem to be ‘ack, pulling these reviewed patches’, though.07:55
brycehnope, keep reading07:55
RAOFEven if 1.10 doesn't make it in, the new input ABI has :)07:55
Sarvattthere may be an fpit release!07:56
Sarvattit's been broken (but fixed in git) since xserver 1.707:56
brycehsee keith's post about delaying the freeze so he can slip in per-crtc-pixmap ;-)07:57
RAOFHah.07:57
Sarvattwas actually starting to package stuff for xorg-edgers until I saw that a few hours ago :)07:58
brycehSarvatt, feeling better I take it?07:59
Sarvattyep! never eating from that chinese food restaurant again, thats for sure08:00
brycehugh I hate stomach flu08:01
Sarvattit doesn't look like its all hooked up yet but the bailer plugin for compiz looks like it would help quite a bit if we did enable nouveau08:04
Sarvattthere's infrastructure there for different levels of reduced functionality if it detects problems08:04
RAOFThat's also where the blacklist will live.08:04
mvoget well bryceh08:04
RAOFWe're *going* to need one, and the DX guys know it.08:05
brycehmvo, oh thanks!  However it was Sarvatt who had stomach flu, I'm actually fine08:05
SarvattRAOF: yeah blacklist is in there now, blacklisting a few 8xx intels08:05
mvooh, missed that - in this case: Sarvatt: get well :)08:05
RAOFSarvatt: Not that it needs to do that, what with us loading fbdev on them :)08:06
Sarvattthanks mvo, i'm all better now :)08:08
Sarvatthttp://sarvatt.com/downloads/patches/065_add_bailer_and_detection_plugins.patch08:08
Sarvattthats the bailer patch, dont have the bzr branch link handy08:08
tjaaltonRAOF: what about option (3): make it easy to install nouveau dri in the livecd. it should be pretty straightforward I think08:12
tjaaltonjust apt-get; logout -> respawn X08:13
Sarvattoh even better idea!08:14
Sarvattwhere to hook that in would be the question08:17
tjaaltonyep08:18
tjaaltonis jockey on the livecd?08:19
Sarvattjockey maybe? where it offers restricted drivers it could offer unsupported ones too?08:19
tjaaltonright08:19
Sarvattmight not even need the logout if it can be made to just start compiz with the unity plugin after installing it08:26
arahello all10:01
arain alpha 1 testing I am seeing a weird error with my mini9 10:01
ara the live session works correctly (X session shows), but when I install10:01
ara the X session starts (I can hear the gdm bang sound), but the screen is completely black10:01
ara any ideas?10:01
ara I tried to kill X or going to another ttx to check the logs, but I couldn't10:01

mvodoes the live session has unity/compiz ? it smeels like unity and or compiz kill it via their opengl requirements10:35
aramvo, yes, the live session does have unity/compiz10:37

Sarvattgo figure, waited about 24 hours of using nvidia 260.19.26 to see if it was stable before uploading it to the PPA and now it's completely busted after I upload it :)16:30
bjsniderworks fine here16:31
bjsniderwhy did they release it with no changelog?16:32
Sarvattok I take back the completely busted thing, just glxgears having the problem so not really  a big deal. [89457.337477] NVRM: Xid (0001:00): 8, Channel 00000001 and a 30 second or so hang every time I run it16:33
Sarvattthey didn't really release it yet, someone just asked for a beta update and they  haven't announced it because they forgot the changelog16:35
bjsniderglxgears works here16:36
apwbryceh, who knows anything about intel register dumps ?16:58
brycehapw, anholt, jbarnes sometimes18:28
apwbryceh, so i have a box in my hand which shows the goes black failure mode when grub hands off the video in graphics mode18:29
brycehapw, pipe underrun just means that it noticed not enough graphics data came through18:55
=== tmzt_g2root is now known as tmzt
brycehapw, which is kind of a silly error - of course no data is coming through, the GPU locked up18:55
apwbryceh, i am not showing a gpu lockup18:56
apwbryceh, i suspect we are reprogramming the graphics while it is runnning, and don't do it right, leading to the underrun18:56
brycehapw, ah18:56
apwbryceh, but i am unsure if the underrun is an end of the world event or just 'not very handy'18:57
brycehapw, yeah dunno18:57
