ko2hello, can you help me with that: http://dpaste.com/285764/10:32
ko2what could be the error? 1) too old Intel Driver?, 2) Desktop Effects? I have no compiz installed, 3) X-Server-Settings?, 4) ?10:33
ko2i wanted to update the intel driver from: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/10:34
ko2But there is no version for hardy. Is there an alternative? I don't want to compile from scratch10:34
ko2?11:00
tjaaltonupgrade to lucid11:12
tjaaltonthat's an alternative..11:12
ko2i cannot, i MUST use hardy11:15
tjaaltonthe compile the package11:16
tjaalton+n11:16
ko2ok, do you think that could make everything better? e.g. in the program i want tot use: if i select the green color and draw, then the pink color draws. 11:17
tjaaltonno idea11:17
tjaaltonnote that hardy will be obsoleted next april11:17
ko2ok11:18
bjsnideri wonder why he MUST use hardy?14:07
tjaaltondidn't bother to ask14:11
njpatelI had a question about intel 4500 :15:01
njpatelactually, two15:01
njpatel1. Does the DisplayPort work with ubuntu?15:01
njpatel2. Through the displayport and the vga, could it drive two 1920x1080 monitors without causing a fire?15:01
njpatelalso, with some form of 3d performance, game level not required15:02
ko2hello, i want to update my Intel Graphics driver from https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ , but there is no Hardy Version. I have Kubuntu Hardy Heron installed15:07
tjaaltonyou asked already15:08
tjaaltonupgrade15:08
ko2yes, but i got no answer, i cannot upgrade15:08
tjaaltonwhy not?15:08
ko2i have two usb cameras whose driver only work until hardy heron15:08
ko2industrial cameras15:08
tjaaltonwhich ones?15:09
ko2from IDS, uEye UI-1210-C15:09
tjaaltonsounds weird that they wouldn't work on a newer release. have you verified it?15:10
ko2i contacted the support and they said that these cameras use a closed source kernel module for the access to usb15:10
ko2i did not verify 100%15:10
ko2but i can do, but if the work a bit strange things may happen15:11
tjaaltonboot a livecd and see yourself?15:11
ko2but what if the work and sometime they do strange things i cannot prove at the moment?15:11
ko2"what if they work"15:12
tjaaltonthen compile  the driver like I said earlier15:13
tjaaltonfor hardy15:13
tjaaltonhmm wait15:13
tjaaltoniirc that driver version wouldn't work on hardy, so you're out of luck15:13
tjaaltonsince it needs kms15:13
ko2kms?15:14
tjaaltonkernel mode setting15:14
ko2kernel module support?15:14
ko2ok15:14
ko2hm15:14
ko2nearly everything worked under UBUNTU hardy, why this little problem with KUBUNTU?15:14
ko2there are just colors inverted and some little pixels not shown15:15
ko2does lucid lynx not allow closed source kernel modules to acces the usb?15:15
JanCko2: closed source kernel modules to access USB sounds pretty illegal to me  ;)15:16
tjaaltonko2: you had completely different hw15:17
ko2illegal? that is what the support told me, but i'll try15:23
ko2but glxinfo | grep render  tells me good things15:23
ko2rendering is acitve etc.15:23
tjaaltonit still depends on which driver/hw you have how buggy it is..15:26
bjsnidertjaalton, aren't you glad you chose to enter into that last conversation?15:49
bjsniderit was so rewarding15:49
tjaaltonyeah, a great way to start the week :P15:51

tseliotSarvatt: what do we use as a fallback in Ubuntu? fbdev or vesa?18:02
tseliotI think it used to be the latter18:02
Sarvattboth, vesa fails to load if a KMS driver is loaded and it uses fbdev18:03
tseliotSarvatt: ok, last time you mentioned a trick to cause the module to fail, something like radeon=sucks ?18:04
tselioton boot, I mean18:04
Sarvattyeah radeon.anythinginvalid=1 works18:04

mdeslaurdoes our nouveau have 3d support for unity now in natty?18:05
* mdeslaur asks before switching from nvidia back to nouveau18:06
Sarvattmdeslaur: if you install libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental18:07
Sarvattthere's 3D support for older cards (geforce 4 era) in the default package18:07
mdeslaurSarvatt: cool, I'll try that...thanks!18:08
cndbryceh, do you know what the status of xorg-server in maverick-proposed is?18:19
cndI've got a patch I need to get into maverick to fix gesture crashes18:19
cndso what should I be doing right now?18:19
cndshould I based a branch off of maverick or maverick-proposed?18:20
brycehcnd, let me check18:23

albert23cnd: if you do an SRU for xserver, Raof wants to fix bug 651294 in Maverick. Is it possible to combine the 2 in one SRU?18:26

bryceh  Installed: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu718:27
bryceh  Candidate: 2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7.118:27
albert23cnd: thanks18:27
brycehcnd, so yeah there's something in maverick-proposed, however it appears to not have been committed to git18:28
cndbryceh, I thought we were moving to bzr for packaging, seeing as how bzr seems to integrate with git alright18:28
cndbut besides that, what should I do?18:28
cndI've got bug 67001618:28
ubot4Launchpad bug 670016 in xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Xorg crashes when performing gesture (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/67001618:28
cndIt has a patch for xorg-server and xserver-xorg-input-evdev to fix the issue18:29
cndand it's tested and ready to go18:29
brycehcnd, hmm, well the date on this change is Nov 22nd18:30
brycehso it looks like someone needs to fill or kill this out of proposed18:30
brycehI think that's the first step18:30
bryceh(bug #650539)18:31
ubot4Launchpad bug 650539 in xorg-server (Ubuntu Maverick) (and 6 other projects) "SRU: Launching a Qt app crashes X when using Xinerama (affects: 95) (dups: 10) (heat: 591)" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65053918:31
brycehhrm it looks stuck18:32
bryceh(there's a possible regression)18:32
brycehcnd, ok so number your change  2:1.9.0-0ubuntu7.218:37
cndbryceh, should it be based on top of 7.1?18:38
cndor is that patch being dropped?18:38
brycehcnd, yes18:38
cndok18:38
brycehcnd, assume it is being kept18:38
bryceh(if it isn't, it's not something you'd need to deal with)18:38
mdeslaurwow, nouveau is absolutely horrific with images.google.com18:42
cndbryceh, ok, I've updated the branches linked to the bug as appropriate18:45
cndbryceh, what should I do next?18:45
cndbryceh, btw, weren't we switching to using launchpad bzr for the X packaging, since bzr seems to have good git support now?18:46
cndor was it the other way around? :)18:46
brycehoh right, I didn't answer you18:46
brycehsorry, yeah we've been discussing that, but we're still using git for xserver18:47
brycehon my todo list is to mess around with the bzr<->git support with xkeyboard-config and see if it works as smoothly as advertised18:47
cndahh, that's right18:48
brycehbut just been too busy with other things so far18:48
cndwell, I've only updated lp, but if you need me to do some git pushes I can do that18:48
brycehright, so the next step is to get the bug report in SRU shape18:48
brycehcnd, that'd be great - for most X packages we don't bother setting up a git branch for srus and just push them in, but there's enough stuff for xserver that we've been keeping a branch for all of its changes18:49
cndbryceh, ahh right, I can get it in sru shape18:49
brycehcnd, clearly we're inconsistent on doing that though, but that's the idea18:49
brycehcnd, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates explains what's needed18:50
=== Bernardo|Away is now known as jbs
cndbryceh, currently natty has the same gesture stack as maverick, but natty won't have the gesture stack in the end18:51
bryceh650539 is a pretty good example of the level of detail we shoot for in sru's18:51
cndshould I worry about preparing a natty version?18:51
brycehyou should either do that, or explain in the sru why/when something else will be fixing it18:51
brycehe.g. "This fix will come automatically when we update to foobar 1.2.3"18:52
brycehif there's any chance the other fix might conceivably not go in, I'd tend to upload that to the development version to, just to be safe18:53
=== jbs is now known as Bernardo|Away
cndbryceh, the bug report is ready for sru19:07
cndI'm working on the git sync now19:07
brycehcnd, excellent19:18
cndbryceh, you want me to push both 7.1 and 7.2 to the debian git repo?19:19
cnd7.2 includes my patch for xserver19:19
brycehyes19:20
brycehcnd, if you can do them as two separate commits, that'd be ideal in case the 7.1 change has to be reverted19:20
brycehbut no biggie if that's too complicated19:20
cndnah, it was easy19:20
cndbzr diff -c <revno>19:21
cndgit apply19:21
cnddebcommit19:21
brycehoh nice19:21
cndI even fixed up the author for Alberto's change :)19:23
cndbryceh, http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-xorg/xserver/xorg-server.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/ubuntu-maverick19:23
cndbryceh, anything else I can do to help?19:23
brycehcnd, all that's left is to upload it to -proposed and sub the sru team, and I'll take care of that for you, thanks for doing all the heavy lifting :-)19:24
cndgreat!19:24
cndnow, back to multitouch work...19:24
cndbryceh, if you would, please review my xserver-xorg-input-evdev debian/control change closely19:26
cndI want to make sure I got the dependency right19:26
brycehok19:26
=== Bernardo|Away is now known as jbs
=== jbs is now known as Bernardo|Away
brycehcnd, what would happen if someone updated to this version of -evdev without upgrading xserver?19:37
cndbryceh, probably a crash as soon as they tried to perform a gesture19:37
brycehi.e. would it break any worse than already?19:37
cndyes19:37
cndfor example, I've never seen this crash19:37
brycehmm ok19:37
cndbut others see it multiple times a day19:37
cndso it would be worse for me :)19:38
brycehthen I think technically the control file looks correct to me19:38
cndok, thanks19:38
brycehbut I wonder if it might make the sru process easier if the patch could be done in a way that won't crash regardless of xserver version?19:38
cndI don't think there is a way, unless you check the debian package version of the server in the evdev source code19:38
brycehiow, there could conceivably be cases where someone wishes to use an older xserver for some random reason...  would be nice to let them continue doing so without having to also pin -evdev19:38
cndyeah, I understand why that would be nice, but I'm not sure how we could make that happen19:39
cndessentially, the ABI of the xserver is being bumped19:39
cndbut it's a private ABI that only evdev knows about19:39
cndhence why there's no change to the header files of the server19:39
brycehcnd, what about some sort of #define in an xserver header, and then mess up -evdev with some #ifdef's ?19:41
brycehyeah, I know, fugly19:41
cndbryceh, yeah, I'd rather not touch upstream xserver headers19:42
cndand I don't want to make the patches more complicated than needed for an sru19:42

brycehSarvatt, hey where is that edid write kernel patch you pointed me at the other week?  I've lost track of it.21:26
Sarvattbryceh: http://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg00802.html21:33
brycehSarvatt, thanks21:33
Sarvatthmm, hd 5xxx acceleration looks to be a bit much to just pull into x-x-v-ati 6.13.221:49
Sarvattwe still don't get 3D out of the box on those, just saw a bug on natty about it21:49
brycehSarvatt, yeah what's still needed there?22:23
Sarvattton of commits just after 6.13.2 released22:23
brycehI saw that it's marked on the ati features page such that it looks like it'd work, however I was messing around with it on my evergreen card the other day and couldn't get it to do other than software rendering22:24
Sarvattjust the x-x-v-ati side22:24
Sarvattits supported in the kernel and mesa already22:24
brycehgreat, we should pull in the newer -ati then22:26
Milos_SDHi23:29
Milos_SDCan nvidia binary driver cause xserver to use all the memory?23:30
Milos_SDcan that be the nvidia driver memory leak?23:30
brycehanything can cause a memory leak23:35
brycehhowever, most typically what causes X to use up memory is usually client applications23:35
bjsniderhe left the room before you said that23:37
brycehah23:37
ionWell, he displayed more patience than should be required of people. He waited for almost a minute before leaving.23:38
