[00:04] <LLStarks> bryce_, xrender works on lucid 10.04.2
[00:04] <LLStarks> want me to bisect maverick dailies and alphas?
[19:05] <knittl> hi
[19:05] <knittl> i cannot install nvidia-current, here's a fresh jockey.log: http://paste2.org/p/1272453
[19:05] <knittl> i haven't managed to install it for at least three versions of ubuntu
[19:06] <knittl> logfile was removed before starting jockey and then copied after trying (and failing) to install it
[19:09] <bjsnider> looks like it did install
[19:09] <knittl> bjsnider: it pops up a message box, telling me 'failed to install, see log file'
[19:09] <knittl> and then jockey says 'driver was just disabled, is already in use' or something along that line
[19:10] <knittl> and when i start jockey again, it says 'a different version of this driver is in use'
[19:11] <bjsnider> can you pastebin glxinfo?
[19:11] <bjsnider> and dkms status
[19:12] <yofel> dkms seems to have built fine from the log, but:
[19:12] <yofel> 2011-02-27 20:03:34,054 ERROR: update-alternatives: warning: skip creation of /usr/lib32/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 because associated file /usr/lib32/nvidia-current/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 (of link group gl_conf) doesn't exist.
[19:12] <knittl> bjsnider: yeah, can do
[19:13] <knittl> bjsnider: http://paste2.org/p/1272461
[19:13] <bjsnider> yofel, known error message. it is inconsequential
[19:13] <yofel> ah
[19:13] <knittl> bjsnider: http://paste2.org/p/1272462
[19:14] <bjsnider> knittl, can you start nvidia-settings without an error message?
[19:14] <yofel> why would something inconsequential be logged as "ERROR" though?
[19:14] <knittl> bjsnider: no, i'm running nouveau atm
[19:14] <knittl> $ lsmod|grep video
[19:14] <knittl> video                  18951  1 nouveau
[19:14] <yofel> knittl: can you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[19:15] <knittl> $ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:15] <knittl> ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
[19:15] <bjsnider> knittl, please install nvidia-current through jockey and reboot
[19:15] <knittl> no xorg.conf here
[19:15] <bjsnider> yofel, ask pitti
[19:15] <bjsnider> it's a logging issue but it's no big deal
[19:15] <yofel> k
[19:16] <knittl> should i generate a new xorg.conf?
[19:16] <knittl> using nvidia-xconfig?
[19:16] <bjsnider> jockey will do that for you
[19:16] <bjsnider> you can check before you reboot
[19:16] <knittl> bjsnider: read 5 lines above
[19:16] <knittl> there's no xorg.conf
[19:17] <bjsnider> install nvidia-current through jockey
[19:17] <knittl> (i'm using natty btw, but this issue has bugged me since nvidia-current was introduced)
[19:17] <knittl> bjsnider: i did. well, i *tried*
[19:17] <bjsnider> i don't care if you get an error message
[19:17] <knittl> bjsnider: i start jockey. i select nvidia-current and click install
[19:18] <bjsnider> knittl, have you done a wipe and reload since before lucid?
[19:18] <knittl> it installs, gives an error/warning (you don't care, ok. i wouldn't care if it was a bogus message)
[19:18] <knittl> i close jockey and there's still no xorg.conf
[19:18] <bjsnider> it probably is a bogus message
[19:19] <bjsnider> ok, you can use nvidia-xconfig
[19:19] <knittl> i think i had to reinstall once, because my root file system was damaged
[19:19] <knittl> knittl@kbook:~$ jockey-gtk 
[19:19] <knittl> knittl@kbook:~$ # told jockey to install nvidia-current
[19:19] <knittl> knittl@kbook:~$ ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[19:19] <knittl> ls: cannot access /etc/X11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory
[19:20] <knittl> i'll use -xconfig
[19:20] <bjsnider> ok, create the file yourself and i'll pastebin what should be in it
[19:20]  * knittl rebooting
[19:26] <knittl> woohoo, i'm in X
[19:26] <knittl> with -current
[19:26] <knittl> but my external monitor is currently ~100 km north
[19:27] <bjsnider> knittl, are you on i386 or amd64?
[19:27] <knittl> 32bit
[19:27] <bjsnider> of course
[19:27] <knittl> jockey still tries to tell me 'a different version of this driver is in use'
[19:27] <bjsnider> and can you do glxinfo again?
[19:27] <knittl> bjsnider: 32bit/i386
[19:28] <knittl> sure
[19:28] <knittl> just a sec
[19:29] <knittl> http://paste2.org/p/1272487
[19:29] <knittl> nvidia-current has always worked with a single monitor here (laptop screen)
[19:29] <bjsnider> and you're able to launch nvidia-settings without issue
[19:29] <knittl> most of the time i had to install it manually with apt-get though
[19:29] <knittl> yes
[19:31] <bjsnider> well, i thought this bug had been fixed
[19:31] <knittl> which bug exactly?
[19:31] <bjsnider> obviously jockey exited because of meaningless warnings without setting up your xorg.conf and telling you the driver was activated
[19:31] <knittl> it still believes the driver is not activated
[19:32] <bjsnider> knittl, the errors on lines 340 and 341of your jockey log would only happen on an i386 system.
[19:33] <bjsnider> perhaps it's been under the radar because not many people still use i386
[19:33] <knittl> bjsnider: http://www.thehappy.de/neo/jockey-nvidia-current.png
[19:35] <bjsnider> jockey's message to you is just a by-product of the real issue
[19:35] <knittl> jockey does only recognize amd64 drivers? oO
[19:37] <bjsnider> knittl, sounds like it's bug 552653
[19:37] <ubot4> Launchpad bug 552653 in jockey (Ubuntu) "[Lucid] Jockey gives message that it failed to install nvidia hardware driver (affects: 49) (dups: 8) (heat: 274)" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/552653
[19:37] <knittl> i'm subscribed to that bug ^^
[19:40] <bjsnider> knittl, did you use the nvidia-installer at some point?
[19:41] <knittl> not since i had to reinstall ubuntu. iirc
[19:41] <bjsnider> well you should talk to tseliot about this tomorrow
[19:41] <bjsnider> he'll be here in the morning
[19:42] <knittl> i've talked to him a lot of times already :D
[19:42] <knittl> but ok. maybe the day after tomorrow, i won't have much time tomorrow
[19:42] <bjsnider> about this issue?
[19:42] <knittl> about jockey failing and about my second monitor not being managed
[19:44] <knittl> maybe 270 fixes the monitor issue. i don't care much about jockey failing as long as the driver works :D
