[01:28] <LLStarks> so, ubot: bug 711568
[01:28] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 711568 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Dithering regression on Intel graphics with .38 Natty kernel (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/711568
[01:28] <LLStarks> gonna do some upstream testing
[01:30] <RAOF> The obvious interesting testing would be to find the commit which regressed things.
[01:30] <RAOF> There wouldn't actually be *that* many commits to the relevant code between the last working kernel and the first one that fails.
[02:14] <NCommander> If I have a segfault on startup with X, what's the best way to obtain a GDB trace? I tried to get a corefile, but failed miserably
[02:33] <bryceh> NCommander, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Backtracing
[08:42] <tjaalton> hmm, upgrading would remove -nv and -nouveau
[08:42] <tjaalton> and plymouth, by the looks of it
[08:45] <tjaalton> oh right, xorg-edgers fallout
[09:57] <gaelle_> hello, i have a problem with the intel driver in the xswat repository. I solves a big rendering bug i'm having with 10.10, but i can not use a dual screen setup anymore
[09:59] <gaelle_> the problem is, the second screen is working correctly, but the primary screen is shifted to the left by around 200 pixels. those 200 pixels on the right side of the screen that "should" be black, are filled with the leftmost 200 pixels of the second screen
[09:59] <gaelle_> the second screen is on the left of the first screen
[09:59] <gaelle_> i can't take a screenshot because on the screenshot everything looks correct
[10:00] <gaelle_> i could take a photograph if somebody would be interested
[10:10] <tjaalton> what's the original bug#
[10:10] <tjaalton> and the commit that claimed to fix it
[10:11] <tjaalton> and do you mean xorg-edgers or x-updates?
[10:13] <gaelle_> i mean x-updates. i don't have a original bug, never searched for it actually, just tested if the x-updates ppa would solve my problem
[10:13] <tjaalton> well, looks like it's a backported package from natty, and it's not generally supported
[10:13] <tjaalton> and it's an old release
[10:14] <tjaalton> the backported driver that is..
[10:14] <gaelle_> i see, so i should not use x-updates in 10.10
[10:14] <gaelle_> would xorg-edgers be better?
[10:15] <tjaalton> probably not :)
[10:15] <tjaalton> since it tend to follow the crack-of-the-day
[10:15] <tjaalton> tends
[10:15] <tjaalton> though I'm not sure how it is right now
[10:16] <tjaalton> you could try natty alpha2 once it's ready, and see if both of those are fixed
[10:16] <tjaalton> ..with no new regressions :)
[10:17] <gaelle_> i will do that. thanks for your help :) helps me to save some time ;)

[17:06] <bryceh> morning
[17:13] <tjaalton> evening :)
[17:17] <bryceh> tjaalton, how was your first day?  exciting?  dreadful?  mired in paperwork and subscription forms?
[17:18] <tjaalton> bryceh: just pending on getting shell access so I can configure procmail
[17:19] <bryceh> btw some of the internal lists are rather chatty, sometimes mindlessly so ;-)
[17:19] <tjaalton> filters will take care of it :)
[17:23] <tjaalton> I upgraded to current natty, seems to work ok
[17:23] <tjaalton> suspend still doesn't though
[17:27] <bryceh> tjaalton, nvidia?
[17:27] <tjaalton> nope, intel
[17:27] <bryceh> hmm, it's been working for me ok
[17:27] <bryceh> actually been quite reliable on several machines
[17:28] <tjaalton> mine just reboots on resume
[17:28] <tjaalton> on kernels newer than 2.6.35
[17:28] <bryceh> tjaalton, ok that sounds bad.  I'd suggest filing a kernel bug
[17:28] <tjaalton> done that some time ago
[17:29] <tjaalton> I'll poke people again after the .38-rc3 kernel is in the archive
[17:29] <bryceh> tjaalton, bug #?
[17:29] <bryceh> ok, that sounds good
[17:29] <bryceh> tjaalton, by the way, the technique for getting the kernel team to look at bugs is to pm JFo and ask him to "put it on the kernel team's review list"
[17:29] <bryceh> and then buy him a beer if it works ;-)
[17:30] <tjaalton> alright, brian already assigned it to the team (well, mine ;)
[17:34] <tjaalton> will make sure JFo knows about it if I can reproduce it with the post-alpha2 kernel
[17:34] <bryceh> tjaalton, exellent, good luck
[21:05] <bjsnider> Sarvatt, do you think it would be worthwhile to rebuild the 270 blob to account for the changes in natty?
[21:05] <Sarvatt> bjsnider: I dropped the abi stuff in the x-updates one so it'd work, it doesn't work with this xserver though
[21:06] <bjsnider> i thought they added support in the 270 blob?
[21:06] <Sarvatt> for xserver from december 7th, there have been 2 abi breaks since then
[21:07] <bjsnider> well, that's the end of that idea
[21:07] <Sarvatt> shouldn't be too much longer hopefully, they said the next 270 beta would work

[23:59] <bdmurray> bryceh: okay, you got me.  I have a terrible work around for bug 710630
