[00:29] <ScottK> How well is Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD supported in Maverick/Natty?
[00:46] <RAOF> About as well as any other intel card; 2D/3D should work well, but there's not (yet?) any support for the video decoding hardware.
[00:46] <RAOF> ScottK: Also, how's the KDE bug travelling?
[02:17] <Amaranth> bryceh: you didn't actually mark the unlockrect bug private
[02:18] <Amaranth> there we go, launchpad took a few tries but I managed to do so
[02:23] <bjsnider> RAOF, there is support for the video decoding through vaapi. the vaapi driver is in maverick and natty
[02:23] <bjsnider> the vaapi code anyway
[02:23] <bjsnider> but i can't say if it works well or not
[02:32] <RAOF> bjsnider: Last I saw of it, libva would assert() if you tried it on that card.
[02:32] <bryceh> Amaranth, hmm still is marked public
[02:32] <bjsnider> RAOF, with the code in maverick?
[02:32] <bryceh> gods how I hate working with proprietary companies
[02:32] <RAOF> bjsnider: With whatever's latest.
[02:33] <Amaranth> bryceh: ok, so launchpad must have lied to both of us
[02:33] <Amaranth> bryceh: I can't believe they gave you such a BS list and now want it private though
[02:33] <bjsnider> RAOF, well, i say give it the old college try anyway
[02:33] <bryceh> Amaranth, indeed
[02:33] <Amaranth> Perhaps they don't want people to know they don't even know how their own driver works :)
[02:34] <bryceh> Amaranth, I wouldn't argue with you on that
[02:34] <bryceh> Amaranth, so there was nothing useful in that information they gave us, anyway?
[02:34] <Amaranth> bryceh: nothing at all
[02:35] <Amaranth> bryceh: We either do what they say they are limited to or have always _not_ done what they say we are limited to so the limits are clearly not true
[02:35] <Amaranth> I suppose unity may be doing something extra that the list could help sort out but I question the validity of the entire list
[02:36] <Amaranth> and I've just tried 3 times to mark the bug private, it won't stick
[02:36] <bryceh> I'm reporting it to launchpad
[02:36] <Amaranth> perhaps because I'm not subscribed
[02:37] <Amaranth> the security bit seems to stick
[02:37] <Amaranth> but even after subscribing explicitly private won't
[02:40] <bryceh> sheer craziness
[02:45] <ScottK> RAOF: Seems fine.  I'm having a hard time getting Sylvia to reply to the bugmail though.  I'm on travel now for $WORK.  I'll reply over the weekend if she doesn't.
[02:47] <RAOF> ScottK: That's ok.  It won't hurt to let the patch can bake for a while in an actual xserver release before foisting it on all of Maverick.
[02:49] <bryceh> Amaranth, bug #705713
[02:49] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 705713 in launchpad "Timeout trying to set bug private (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/705713
[06:18] <RAOF> Damn you, mklib.  Stop foiling my every move!
[06:20] <bryceh> tired
[06:21] <RAOF> You are, or I am?
[06:21] <RAOF> Or, I guess, both :)
[06:25] <bryceh> well, I definitely am
[06:30] <bryceh> car battery dead.  I don't drive enough anymore apparently
[06:32] <RAOF> :)
[06:32] <tjaalton> bryceh: you still have the same audi?-)
[06:33] <bryceh> tjaalton, yep
[06:34] <tjaalton> cool, me too
[06:34] <bryceh> wife wants me to sell it and get a minivan
[06:34] <tjaalton> bah
[06:34] <tjaalton> quattro ftw
[06:34] <bryceh> to which I say no no no
[06:35] <RAOF> Too few kids to have a minivan!
[06:35] <tjaalton> we have three, and the a4 is surprisingly "roomy" for us :)
[06:36] <tjaalton> though now we'd have to get the middle "seat" in the back to have a three point safety belt installed
[06:36] <tjaalton> other than that it's been great
[06:37] <bryceh> yeah we've gotten along fine with just a sedan, although vacation trips are tough due to all the baby crap we have to cart
[06:38] <bryceh> strollers and highchairs and whatnot
[06:38] <tjaalton> ah i remembered you had the avant
[06:39] <tjaalton> you have 2/3 of the backseat to use, luxury :)
[06:39] <tjaalton> "when I was a kid..."
[06:45] <bryceh> plus I think half the crap we don't really need
[06:45] <bryceh> once we forgot the portable highchair.  It was not a problem:
[06:45] <bryceh> http://www.bryceharrington.org/files/belt_chair.jpg
[06:47] <RAOF> Awesome.  McGyver baby!
[07:07] <RAOF> You win again, mesa!
[07:07]  * RAOF heads to dinner.
[07:09] <tjaalton> bryceh: heh :)
[11:47] <alkisg> I have a school lab with intel 845 cards which is unstable with 10.04 and stable with 10.10.
[11:47] <alkisg> Is there anything that I could update in 10.04 so that I stick to LTS releases for policy reasons? Or the only solution is to upgrade to 10.10?
[11:56] <tjaalton> it'd probably need newer drm-modules, libdrm and the intel driver (possibly mesa too, if 3d works at all)
[11:56] <tjaalton> so delicate backporting and it could work
[11:56] <tjaalton> make a dkms package of the drm modules from .35
[12:53] <alkisg> Thank you tjaalton, I'll try backporting those
[13:04]  * alkisg tries https://launchpad.net/~glasen/+archive/intel-driver ...
[13:05] <tjaalton> yeah there might be a ready ppa already
[13:05] <tjaalton> -ready
[13:05] <tjaalton> ..but that's likely not it :)
[13:06] <alkisg> Oh. I thought it had the newest intel driver + drm there
[15:42] <seb128> bryceh, here?
[17:21] <bryceh> yep
