smspillazbryceh: ping08:25
smspillazbryceh: do you know if some broken x server just got pushed ?08:25
brycehsmspillaz, xserver hasn't been upgraded, but I did push some new driver bits08:26
smspillazbryceh: hrm, let me give you a backtrace of what's going on08:26
bryceh(all booted and worked fine on the system I was using for testing)08:26
brycehbrb08:26
smspillazsure08:27
smspillazbryceh: I'll try repairing things first08:29
brycehsmspillaz, ok08:30
smspillaz(sorry to ping you on the weekend :/)08:30
smspillazuh-huh08:35
smspillazand now it's gone08:35
smspillazafter a few reboots08:35
smspillazbryceh: it was something about input devices though in the bt08:35

brycehmm, yeah crash in -evdev08:40
smspillazseems to happen on normal startup but if I drop to recovery mode, resume normal boot and then start X manually there seems to be no crash08:40
brycehthat's one of the aforementioned drivers I updated08:40
smspillazI figured :)08:40
smspillazlet me know how I can help further08:40
brycehsmspillaz, can you try downgrading to the previous xserver-xorg-video-evdev and see if it goes away?08:40
bryceher08:40
smspillazbryceh: sure. I'm not brilliant with by apt-foo, so how would I do that ?08:40
brycehxserver-xorg-input-evdev08:40
smspillazbryceh: sure. what's the command to downgrade things with apt ?08:41
brycehsmspillaz, easiest way is to look in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ and see if you still have the previous .deb08:41
brycehif so, then just dpkg -i <file.deb>08:41
brycehor, apt-get install <pkg>=<version>08:42
smspillazsure08:42
smspillaz3a2.6.0-1ubuntu1?08:43
smspillazwooo kernel panic!08:45
smspillazubuntu releases show just the accuracy of murphy's law it seems08:45
smspillazbryceh: hrm, even after installing that it seems I still have the crash08:46
smspillazbryceh: my only guess is that there might have been an ABI break which is not compatible with the nvidia driver - is there any way to revert to nouveau for now ?08:53
smspillazwill sudo apt-get install xorg-xserver-video-nouveau do it ?08:54
brycehooohhhhh08:54
smspillazoh?08:55
brycehyeah new 2.6.38 kernel will totally break -nvidia I'm sure08:55
* smspillaz yells at the drinking team08:55
brycehif you're using -nvidia, now's the time to uninstall it and begin your nouveau experience08:55
smspillazbryceh: but that doesn't really explain why the crash is in evdev08:55
smspillazbryceh: heh, although I kinda need direct rendering08:55
smspillazI actually use nouveau on my arch box though, it is very nice08:56
brycehif you need -nvidia you'll have to stick with a .37 kernel for the interim08:56
smspillazbryceh: is enabling nouveau's dri a pain right now ?08:57
smspillazreverting the kernel is going to open a can of worms for sure08:57
brycehthere's an optional package to install the nouveau 3d bits08:57
smspillazbryceh: also, as an aside, I don't see NVRM complaining and I see the nvidia logo on startup so I assume something is working08:57
smspillaz(nvidia logo because I had it installed from nvidia.com before, but then I purged it and installed it from the repos)08:58
smspillaz(so I still have Option "NoLogo" "0" in my xorg.conf :)08:58
brycehwell, if you downgraded -evdev (and restarted X) and it still behaves the same, then nvidia/kernel incompatibility is my next guess08:59
smspillazbryceh: yeah08:59
smspillazbryceh: what's the name of this package to enable nouveau dri ?08:59
brycehnvidia is pretty invasive so even though -evdev is an input driver it wouldn't surprise me08:59
brycehheh, was afraid you were going to ask that08:59
smspillazdude, I know how these things work :)08:59
smspillazjust can't be bothered googling it (jcbbgi [tm])09:00

Guest36276hello18:01
Guest36276could someone have a tip, I changed my  root partition size with live cd , not boot error, grub works, but when booting linux, it cannot boot, any good solutions_18:02
xapantuGuest36276, maybe you should go to #ubuntu, I think you would get more answers.18:07
Guest36276ok18:08
Guest36276i found solution, i think. I also removed swap partition, and that was the problem18:08
