soreauThere is a bug that causes xv video playback to have strange colors on rv350. I went to bisect ddx but now I see that the bug is somehow related to xorg-edgers repo because I installed master xf86-video-ati to /opt/xorg and if I point X to load these modules, video playback is fine. However even after ppa-purging and reinstalling xorg-edgers, the problem persists. I also have confirmed at least one other person had this issue using xorg-edgers15:43
soreauThe question is, how can I figure out what's wrong when using xorg-edgers? Old stuff lying around? (I haven't installed anything other than xorg-edgers and ddx to /opt/xorg so far and it's a relatively clean install) or ubuntu patches? (where can I find the patch list xorg-edgers uses on top of master git component?) or any other random oddity? Really not sure how to diagnose it further15:46

codemagicianbjsnider, another point (not sure how relevant it is) but this seems to happen within the first 10mins of startup.  If I manage to survive longer then the machine holds up.  I switch my machine off each night17:15

andypiperhi folks... I have a weird Natty alpha 3 issue which may be X related18:26
andypiperI installed a fresh Natty Alpha 3 on a netbook (AAO)18:27
andypiperbut on boot, no input buttons / clicks work18:27
andypipersame applies for both synaptics touchpad... and USB mouse18:27
andypiperif I go out to console a rmmod/modprobe psmouse it sometimes gets better18:27
andypiperbut even then only tap-to-click works, the trackpad buttons don't18:28
andypipershould I file this against X in lp?18:28
bryceh_andypiper, the rmmod/modprobe workaround sort of suggests it's a kernel bug18:31
andypiperyes... I thought that might be the case. Hrm.18:31
andypiperokies.18:31
bryceh_andypiper, to 'linux' might be the better package.  But if you're unsure, file 'ubuntu-bug xorg' and we can take a look before sending it to the kernel queue18:31
andypiperdo you mean file against both? sorry I'm confused by that statement :-)18:32
andypiperor tag it with those fields?18:32
bryceh_andypiper, a standard diagnosis method would be to try booting older or newer kernels and see if the functionality comes back18:32
andypiperright - but at the moment this is just a stock new Natty alpha 3 install... would need to hunt out older kernels I guess18:33
bryceh_'ubuntu-bug xorg' is a command to run which will file the bug for you (and attach a mess of files we like to have)18:33
andypiperoh! cool18:33
* andypiper goes off to try it18:33
bryceh_'ubuntu-bug linux' works equally well too18:33
andypiperok I'm going to reboot that machine to get it in the right "state" and then VNC over to run that.18:34
andypipersince currently the tap-to-click is in a working state at least (trackpad buttons not though)18:35
andypiperdid wonder if it was an xorg.conf setting I'd missed on the trackpad, but so far I've not messed with the config files18:35

trinikronohey guys i found a bug 721080 and i was wondering if it was a dupe of 702090?20:15
ubot4`Launchpad bug 721080 in ubuntu "[arrandale] GPU lockup a5cb7103 (IPEHR: 0x01800002) (affects: 1) (heat: 254)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/72108020:15
bryceh_hi trinikrono20:20
trinikronoo/20:20
bryceh_trinikrono, the error codes there look different than the prototypical 702090 crash20:20
bryceh_trinikrono, however the thing to check is to look in the CurrentDmesg and BootDmesg for where the "GPU hang" message is20:21
bryceh_typically with 702090 this will be during boot, towards the end of the boot sequence20:21
bryceh_so like either at the end of BootDmesg or the top of CurrentDmesg20:21
trinikronook20:22
bryceh_also, oftentimes there'll be more dmesg spew following the error, because it resets the GPU and keeps on truckin'20:22
trinikronobecause the i915errorstate makes no sense to me as yet20:22
trinikronobryceh_: so i can still mark it against xserver-xorg-video-intel right20:22
bryceh_trinikrono, if you're curious to learn, there is a tool available which converts the error codes into actual messages20:22
bryceh_trinikrono, yes20:22
trinikronowell i am curious, i seem to be finding xorg bugs everywhere i go20:23
trinikronoi use savage though if that makes a difference20:23
bryceh_trinikrono, yeah it does; the GPU dumps and i915errorstate stuff is particular to the -intel driver, but savage uses the -savage driver20:24
bryceh_trinikrono, here's a doc with a higher level explanation of the gpu dump stuff:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/InterpretingIntelGpuDump20:24
bryceh_trinikrono, I think part of the problem with -savage is that since the userbase for it is much smaller than other video drivers, us ubuntu-x guys don't pay that much attention to it20:25
bryceh_trinikrono, however if you'd be interested in doing bug triage or other work on the driver, it could help a lot, and we'd certainly be able to give you tips and pointers20:25
trinikronoyes i spoke to tormod a few weeks ago about some of the savage bugs , so if i can help i will20:27
bryceh_cool, yes he keeps an eye on -savage and is a great resource20:27
trinikronobryceh_: in your x org bugs do we look for upstream bugreports in freedesktop or is it different?20:31
bryceh_trinikrono, sometimes yes, however I tend to just forward the bugs upstream and let upstream decide whether they're dupes.  Often it's difficult for us at the distro level to know for sure20:35
bryceh_trinikrono, but I do always at least google around to see if the bug has been reported anywhere outside ubuntu (and sometimes this turns up dupes inside ubuntu too)20:36

Sarvattneed to figure out whats needed for this mesa wayland stuff ricotz pointed out still22:03
bryceh_thanks Sarvatt22:04
* bryceh_ patch pilots22:04
bryceh_Sarvatt, wayland?  I have some notes that Darxus provided on what mesa patches would be required in order for doing newer wayland snapshots22:04
RAOFFrom memory, you need the wayland protocol stuff built first, then build mesa against that, then you can build the wayland demos with EGL support.22:05
Sarvattthe patches are upstream, there's a new wayland egl platform to use but need to figure out where all the deps go22:05
RAOFThat sounds like a job for Super bryceh_, though :)22:05
bryceh_ick :-)22:06
Sarvattalso I was a bit confused about the wayland packaging, wayland-client.pc is in libwayland-client-dev, but both the library and protocol headers are in wayland-dev and there's no dependency on either of them for the other?22:06
RAOFlibwayland-client isn't a dependency of libwayland-client-dev?22:07
Sarvattnope22:07
Sarvattunless i'm missing something22:07
bryceh_it's entirely possible I did not do that right22:07
RAOFThat seems unlikely to be correct.22:07
RAOFNot that anyone's going to notice for a while :)22:07
bryceh_splitting out the client and server bits was pretty recent, and I don't think I did much testing of the -dev packages (certainly not on a clean machine)22:08
Sarvattsudo apt-get install libwayland-client-dev22:08
SarvattThe following NEW packages will be installed:22:08
Sarvatt  libwayland-client-dev22:08
Sarvattsudo apt-get install libwayland-client022:08
SarvattThe following NEW packages will be installed:22:08
Sarvatt  libwayland-client022:08
Sarvattshould wayland-client.h should be in libwayland-client-dev where the .pc is and wayland-client-protocol.h in the wayland-dev one?22:10
ricotzSarvatt, bryceh_ http://people.ubuntu.com/~ricotz/wayland/22:11
ricotzmoving the headers might be useful for a nicer organization22:11
bryceh_sure22:14
RAOFDo clients need wayland-client-protocol.h?22:15
bryceh_RAOF, looks like clients don't include it directly, but instead include wayland-client.h, but then that has this:22:18
bryceh_./wayland/wayland-client.h:#include "wayland-client-protocol.h"22:18
bryceh_so... yes22:18
RAOFI guess this would be more obvious were we packaging a more recent snapshot where these things are actually in different tarballs.22:19
bryceh_yep22:19
bryceh_in fact that's one reason I didn't worry too much about the packaging at this point; I think it's going to need a pretty heavy revamp due to the split up of the repo22:20
bryceh_also, it seems debian is moving away from using xsfbs, so that needs to be dropped and a more pure dh approach used instead (which I think ricotz proposed before and looks suitable)22:21
bryceh_I think there's also been some changes to licensing in recent snapshots, so copyright needs to be reviewed 22:21
RAOFIt was certainly moving to... MIT?  Or from MIT to LGPL?22:23
RAOFOne of the two :)22:23
Sarvattwow, that looks to be the most painless transition ever - https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa/+builds?build_text=&build_state=all22:23
bryceh_the latter22:23
RAOFSarvatt: Yeah, the API change from 1.10RC2 to 1.10 isn't big :)22:24
Sarvattthe packaging changes were though, I figured something would break at least22:25
SarvattI didn't change where I was syncing drivers from expecting things to break and fix it after, guess unstable worked fine22:26

bryceh_you'll need a skeleton22:32
RAOFYou can get a skeleton by running “X -configure”; I think you'll need at least a Device section to hang that Option line on.22:32
jcastroah awesome22:32
Sarvattjcastro: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577213/22:33
RAOFI take it that the fusion netbook isn't a bundle of Just Works™ then?22:33
jcastroRAOF: I am close! 22:33
jcastroI think it's just an option that's hosing it22:33
jcastroSarvatt: that totally works!22:36
Sarvattneed to disable pageflip on fusion then?22:36
jcastroyeah, let me update the bug22:37
jcastroand confirm with the OP22:37
jcastrothere are only 2 fusions shipping right now, I have one and he has the other22:37
Sarvattits a kernel bug but we could flip it over as the default option in the X driver easily until its fixed22:37
SarvattI think i915g wants to be in dri-alternates now with 7.11 :P22:45
RAOFYeah, I think so too.22:45
brobostigon!bug 73009922:46
ubot4`Launchpad bug 730099 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "[i915gm] GPU lockup 0c40b170 (ESR: 0x00000001 IPEHR: 0x02000011) (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/73009922:46
brobostigonisuffer from that, it not nice, that bug sucks. :(22:47
RAOFHm.  That's not going to be the gen2 relaxed alignment stuff.22:49
* RAOF has a browse.22:49
brobostigoni need a clever man or women to explain to me, whay a gpu lockup is to start, so i know what it is.22:50
bryceh_RAOF, yeah it's that i915/i945 freeze bug that ickle thought the relaxed fence patch would fix22:51
bryceh_brobostigon, it's when the display stops updating, but usually you can still move the mouse and ssh in22:51
RAOF915 isn't gen2, is it?22:51
bryceh_dunno22:51
RAOFOh, bah.  Yes it is :)22:51
Sarvattnope first of the gen322:52
brobostigonbryceh_: ah, i see. yes, i canstill move the mouse and ssh in, yes.22:52
bryceh_brobostigon, if you want a lot more technical details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/InterpretingIntelGpuDump22:52
bryceh_or for just troubleshooting directions (mostly out of date and not relevant for your case) there is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze22:53
brobostigonbryceh_: thank you, how would this be fixed, what can i add onto the bug, to help it get fixed?22:53
bryceh_I think we have a large surplus of debug info at this point ; the next action for this particular bug is blocked waiting on upstream to provide a patch22:54
RAOFIf it were gen2 I'd be tempted to try libdrm 2.4.24, but I don't think that codepath will apply here.22:55
bryceh_RAOF, do you have ideas on other next actions for this?22:55
brobostigonbryceh_: would it be possible to talk to them, to get it moving alittle,?22:55
bryceh_brobostigon, I've already been poking at them, but no response (I think ickle might have been on vacation last week)22:55
brobostigonbryceh_: ok, that is something atleast isnt it, thank you. :)22:56
bryceh_also, since this is like 99% likely to be a bug in kernel drm code rather than X itself, it might be appropriate to try to get kernel team attention onto it22:56
bryceh_brobostigon, one thing to test that might turn up some useful info would be to try reproducing the bug on a non-Ubuntu distro (debian, redhat, etc.)22:57
bryceh_one that also has the 2.6.38 kernel ideally22:57
brobostigonshould i try a new kernel, for example  from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ?22:57
bryceh_that would demonstrate the bug is or is not due to something particular to the Ubuntu kernel or plumbing layer22:57
RAOFIt might be worth trying the new libdrm anyway.22:57
RAOFI'll throw it up in aubergine.22:57
bryceh_brobostigon, yes, although others have already tested the latest kernel and found it didn't change anything22:58
bryceh_brobostigon, there is also the drm-next builds that the kernel team provides, which may be a better thing to test22:58
bryceh_"I'll throw it up in aubergine."  If I had a sig I'd put that in it.22:58
brobostigonbryceh_: i could try a debian sid, from sd, on this machine. it will take ait of work, but it could be done.22:58
brobostigoninstalling from live usb, too sdhc.22:59
brobostigonanf then booting of sdhc.22:59
bryceh_brobostigon, it could help in case the kernel team isn't looking at it on the assumption that it's an upstream bug, and upstream isn't looking at it on assumption it's a ubuntu-specific issue ;-)22:59
bryceh_fwiw, I have a 945 and have not seen this freeze myself23:00
bryceh_however this i945 seems to be magical and is immune to half the bugs that *should* be affecting it23:00
brobostigonbryceh_: would debiantesting be new enough, and then pulling the kernel from experimental?23:00
bryceh_brobostigon, that seems a reasonable base for testing23:01
bryceh_I don't know what kernel is in experimental, but anything 2.6.38-ish should do the trick23:01
brobostigonbryceh_: ok, i will try that tommrow, and report back, 23:01
bryceh_brobostigon, great, thank you23:01
brobostigonits definatly, the newest stablekernel release.23:02
Sarvattits a dupe of  bug #71509623:02

brobostigondifferent ESR and IPEHR.23:02
Sarvattkees: didn't you have that bug too? I thought I remembered you and ickle talking about it23:02
Sarvatt730099 is a dupe of 715096, 730099 isn't your bug?23:03
brobostigoni filed 730099 myself.23:03
keesSarvatt: yeah, I just hit it once ever though23:04
bryceh_fwiw, I suspect ALL of the i915 and i945 lockups are the same bug, even though they differ in ESRs and IPEHRs23:04
keesSarvatt: my really annoying bug is the i915 corruption23:04
bryceh_I think it is a bit hw-specific and maybe conditional-specific as to what error code actually pops up, but my gut says they probably have the same underlying root cause23:04
brobostigonwhat are ESR's and IPEHR's ?23:05
bryceh_brobostigon, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/InterpretingIntelGpuDump23:05
brobostigonbryceh_: is that the same page you pointed me at earlier? i havent managed torread it yet,23:05
bryceh_brobostigon, it is23:06
brobostigonbryceh_: ok, i will read it, for bed time reading. :)23:06
