=== asac_ is now known as asac [03:30] Man this regex is getting evil. === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [05:03] It's aliveā€¦ it's ALIVE! [05:12] That's rather nice. 3 build failures, two of which were an insufficiently sentient regex. [07:34] sigh, chromium is not that usable (for my workflow), and firefox keeps "hanging" every 10s for 1s, what else is there.. opera? [07:35] That firefox thing seems pretty awful. What's it doing? [07:36] It's not doing something brain-dead like fsyncing the history database again? [07:36] beats me. the cpu-usage spikes every few seconds, and that's when scrolling etc is paused [07:37] even typing a comment on a bug.. [07:37] :( [07:37] Know of any useful ati cherry-picks offhand while I'm patching it to build against 1.10? [07:38] ah there's no 6.14-branch for bugfixes.. [07:39] there was something on debian-x@ iirc, unless it was that build-fix [07:39] Probably the build-fix. [07:40] The changelog entries post-6.14 don't link to any bugs not caused by commits post-6.14. I think I'll just fix the build then :) [07:41] yeah, can't seem to find it either [07:50] Ooh. I should add Sarvatt's disable-pageflip-on-palm patch. [07:59] yeah that firefox laggy behavior is really irritating. I'm using chromium now because of that. [07:59] I'm trying with some extensions disabled, but we'll see if it helps or not [08:01] what's most irritating with chromium is that typing '/' doesn't initiate search, and tabbing on the address bar doesn't select the next one on the list, need to use the cursor keys [08:02] and there's a limit of tabs per window, since you can't see the title [08:02] yeah [08:03] there should be a 'firefox compatibility' -extension for it :) [08:03] I do like that the location bar doubles as a search field, but I miss the reliable autocomplete [08:03] The awesome bar is actually pretty awesome, yeah. [08:04] best thing so far about chromium is I can right click on my bug graph svg's and choose "Open in a new window" [08:04] the fact I can't do that in firefox has been a bit of a bummer [08:04] btw, since when does neither of them open the windows on the correct workspace? [08:05] probably a compiz bug, annoying [08:06] Alright. Once the builds are done, ubuntu-x-swat/ppa should be nicely installable. [08:06] hum, I should prepare -fpit [08:06] RAOF, :-) [08:09] Let's go make some pasta! [08:11] yay mesa 7.10.1 [08:18] building xinput-calibrator_0.7.5-1 [08:20] dang, still can't do fullscreen youtube [08:20] will have to try intel-drm-next tomorrow [08:23] bryceh_, RAOF: objections for pushing xinput-calibrator to natty? it's not in debian yet for some reason (been on the mentors-queue for some time), sent an email to Tias about the status but haven't heard back yet [08:23] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xinput_calibrator [08:24] tjaalton, no objections, in fact I think packaging it was down in my todo list somewhere [08:25] bryceh_: yeah I was about to do it too, then noticed that tias had done it himself [08:25] built without any warnings/errors [08:25] No objections, but you'll need the obvious FFe. [08:25] yep [08:26] tjaalton, IIRC when I played with it, it spit out stuff you paste into xorg.conf. I thought it could use a bit more integration so it actually would offer to store that info to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ or some such [08:26] tjaalton, of course that was like >1 yr ago so maybe it's changed [08:26] bryceh_: yeah, would be nice to integrate that with the installer [08:27] for now it'd just be a replacement for the calibrator in evtouch [08:27] * bryceh_ nods [08:42] bug 731810 [08:42] Launchpad bug 731810 in linux (Ubuntu) "X is broken post upgrade to Natty (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/731810 [08:43] mvo: tjaalton: Take a look at the currentDmesg.txt [08:45] lag: attach Xorg.0.log too [08:46] tjaalton: It just says out of memory [08:47] did you get your upgrade issues sorted? [08:48] tjaalton: Uploaded [08:48] tjaalton: This is my upgrade issue [08:49] yesterday you said that sources.list was still on maverick, and nvidia wouldn't install due to that [08:49] anyway, try putting 'nopat' to the kernel cmdline [08:50] as a kernel boot option [08:50] tjaalton: I saw that on a previous bug report [08:51] tjaalton: I have just installed the latest nVidia driver from their website [08:51] uh [08:51] no [08:51] it won't work [08:51] :( [08:51] Why not? [08:52] unless it's the beta driver [08:52] this is a kernel bug [08:52] does 'nopat' help? [08:53] Don't know yet [08:53] does the nouveau driver work? [08:53] if you purge nvidia [08:54] tjaalton: Trying nopat now [08:59] tjaalton: I think I'm going to have to uninstall nVidia's driver [08:59] please :) [09:04] Okay, that's now uninstalled - trying nopat [09:05] nopat with nvidia didn't work? [09:05] Not with nVidia's driver [09:06] Trying it with nvidia-current [09:09] Just a purple screen [09:10] try without nvidia [09:10] Now some flashing (after 5muns) [09:10] so it'd load nouveau [09:10] nvidia-cirrent is still installed [09:10] purge it [09:17] [ 43.639] (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) [09:17] remove xorg.conf [09:21] Ooooooooo [09:21] We have a login prompt [09:22] We have desktop [09:22] ok so it's a bug in nvidia after all.. [09:22] So what aren't I going to get? [09:22] Compiz? [09:22] right [09:23] there's libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental, but it's pretty much unsupported [09:24] And I don't get a choice as to which desktop I want [09:24] And everything looks just a little bit crap [09:24] Do you think I should try to install nvidia-current again? [09:24] unity2d should work [09:25] I don't get a choice [09:25] No selection items at the bottom [09:27] I'm going to try and install nvidia-current again [09:39] No joy [09:39] That sucks ass [09:40] Who picks up nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) bugs? [09:40] tseliot [09:40] what's up?

[09:42] tseliot: I took out splash from the cmdline [09:42] No difference [09:42] lag: that would be plymouth's splash [09:42] it's not the same thing [09:42] tseliot: Okay, how do I take out Grub's? [09:44] lag: can you attach your grub.cfg, please? [09:46] tseliot: Done [09:51] lag: since this is just a temporary thing, please try editing that file as in this patch: [09:51] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/577746/ [09:51] then do *not* update grub but just reboot [09:52] if this works I think I can fix it in the nvidia package [09:59] tseliot: Do I have to install nvidia again then? [09:59] lag: no, if it's already installed there's nothing else you should do but reboot [09:59] It's not [09:59] I had to uninstall it to get a desktop up [10:01] lag: ok, reinstall it then [10:02] tseliot: Doing that now [10:02] good [10:02] tseliot: How do I change back settings - will they rectify after one reboot or will I have to revert the patch? [10:03] lag: if you do update-grub your changes will go away [10:10] tseliot: Nope [10:11] tseliot: I received a loging [10:11] login* [10:11] tseliot: After logging in, the first window opened (Xchat) then crashed [10:11] tseliot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577753/ [10:26] lag: can I see your dmesg, please?

[10:39] lag: the one that you used when booting [10:40] tseliot: http://paste.ubuntu.com/577768/ [10:42] hmm... let me see how I did it in my natty machine [10:42] x loaded fine this time did it not? [10:48] tjaalton: Well, I don't think fine is the word I'd use [10:48] The whole thing locked up on login [10:51] lag: but x loaded up [10:51] tjaalton: Something did [10:51] I saw the outline of the first app that was visible (XChat) [10:51] Then nothing ... [10:52] so you autoload apps on your session? [10:52] lag: I lost the changes to my grub.cfg file but I guess we can edit the file a little better [10:52] tjaalton: I do [10:52] tjaalton: If I had to load them all by hand every day, I'd shoot myself! [10:53] lag: so the system locks up completely, or does for instance the mouse cursor move? [10:53] Mouse moves and even changes to the resize cursor when over the edges of the window [10:53] But I can't actually resize [10:54] so the session is broken, not the driver [10:54] Everything's working in the background, I can SSH in [10:54] that's natty for you [10:54] try with a classic desktop [10:54] That is with the Classic Desktop [10:54] unity is broken here as well [10:54] then with a clean session [10:55] How do you mean? [10:55] failsafe gnome session [10:55] for instance [10:56] dunno where the session stuff is stored [10:56] ah, seems to be .config/gnome-session [10:57] nope [10:57] tjaalton: I'll have to do it in a minute, as I have a meeting now [10:57] .config/autostart maybe [10:57] lag: please try this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/577777/ [10:57] tseliot: X is up [10:59] tjaalton: yes, it is but vesafb can cause a number of problems with some nvidia and amd cards, not only prevent X from starting [10:59] and vesafb is still in his dmesg [11:00] tjaalton: if it's a bug in Unity i.e. it can't be reproduced using the classic desktop, then it's a different issue [12:24] Hi honey, I'm home [12:24] tseliot: [12:24] [ 44.690] (EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0) [12:24] [ 44.690] (II) LoadModule: "vesa" [12:24] lag: that's not a problem [12:24] it's just the autoloading stuff [12:24] Okay [12:25] lag: you have to make sure that dmesg | grep vesa doesn't return anything [12:25] lag: the last diff that I gave you should help [12:25] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/577777/ [12:25] set gfxpayload=text [12:25] I did that [12:26] lag: and remove the line that loads the modules [12:26] i.e. if [ "$linux_gfx_mode" != "text" ]; then load_video; fi [12:26] tseliot: Yep, it's gone [12:27] lag: so, what's the output of "dmesg | grep vesa"? [12:27] tseliot: Rebooting now - the dmesg was full of crap [12:28] ok [12:28] tseliot: No Vesa stuff [12:28] lag: good. Now see if you can reproduce the problem [12:28] if you still can, then it's a different issue [12:29] Yep, still there [12:29] how do you know you're starting the classic desktop? [12:29] What log will be most useful now? [12:29] unless you've chosen it from the gdm menu [12:29] I did choose it from the menu, the same thing happened [12:29] then move your .config/autostart away [12:30] further advice probably from #ubuntu-desktop [12:31] this command should tell you whether you're running unity "grep -i unity ~/.xsession-errors" [12:31] instead of the classic desktop [12:31] Okay, rebooting [12:32] classic still shows unity-window-decorator there [12:33] In fact, with the driver installed I don't get a choice [12:33] No option at the bottom of the login prompt [12:33] ouch [12:34] do you still have maverick on sources.list? [12:37] Starting unity-window-decorator [12:37] That's the only thing it says [12:38] create a new user and try with that [12:55] tjaalton: Lookup [12:55] tjaalton: Lockup* [12:56] then it's something for #ubuntu-desktop [12:59] tjaalton: Nice demonstration of your Teflon shoulders there :D [13:03] lag: well debugging this started over 4h ago [13:04] and debugging user sessions is not my expertise [13:39] does anyone know if vesafb does content handoff to the X server; like the drm drivers do? [13:45] doubt it. [13:53] tjaalton, heard of any trackpad issues lately? [13:53] a bunch of fixes were pushed to xorg-server yesterday and Kaleo is reporting issues with his trackpad [13:54] I'm wondering if anyone else is having issues [13:55] cnd: haven't seen any new bugs related to that [13:55] tjaalton, ok, thanks! [14:01] lag: try booting with nopat added to grub [14:01] Sarvatt: I did [14:01] suggested already :) [14:01] oh, missed that [14:01] Sarvatt: I also found that on an old bug report :) [14:11] btw, I found the cause of my excessive i915 wakeups [14:12] Apparently both evolution and thunderbird are drawing a _lot_, I'm guessing it's the constant progress spinners [15:50] bjsnider, hi. I have a new xorg.log from todays crash. did you add more debug to it? [15:50] bjsnider, http://pastebin.com/jjHCe0FR [15:53] This was X hanging on bootup before any applications started up. My hardware is Asus EN210 (GeForce 210) Nvidia card with 10.10 ubuntu desktop. If anyone can help diagnose why X keeps hanging and reaching 100% cpu, would be most appreciated... [15:54] there's a generic error message printed on line 327 [15:55] codemagician, http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46678 [15:55] do that thing [15:55] okay [15:59] bjsnider, I guess I should read the link on part 1 for stability? [15:59] couldn't hurt [16:00] codemagician, you know you can use the nouveau driver instead of nvidia right? [16:00] may I ask.. why does the log show different version of the kernel to my uname output? [16:00] bjsnider, i didn't know that. [16:01] if you remove nvidia-current and delete /etc/X11/xorg.conf and then reboot you'll get nouveau [16:02] how to I remove the nvidia-current with sudo apt-get remove ? [16:02] right [16:03] is nouveau another alternative driver? [16:03] i mean... why are there two [16:04] you must be very new to linux if you're asking why there are two [16:05] bjsnider, yes, I recently switched from imac [16:05] i guess its open source [16:05] and nvidia are proprietary? [16:05] nvidia is a proprietary driver produced by nvidia. its license is incompatible with the gpl. nouveau is an open gpl driver already in the kernel produced by many developers [16:06] aha, I see [16:06] but mostly ben skeggs of red hat (i think that's his name) [16:06] do I need to remove nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings ? [16:07] no [16:07] so now I just delete the xorg.conf and reboot? [16:07] codemagician, why didn't you want to use the excellent mac osx? [16:07] bjsnider, I like to get my hands dirty [16:07] it's such fun to use and so delightfully expensive [16:08] bjsnider, linux seems more fun to learn [16:08] is this situation you're in now fun? [16:08] bjsnider, actually the most annoying thing about the iMac was the mouse acceleration [16:09] bjsnider, ha ha. good point. well its new install, so I should give it a chance [16:09] you're installing ubuntu on an imac? [16:09] bjsnider, rome wasn't built in a day [16:09] bjsnider, i gave the mac to my sister and built a new machine [16:09] you built this computer from scratch? [16:09] bjsnider, yeah, built from parts [16:10] bjsnider, i7 core, P6 asus Mobo, X-25 SSD [16:10] bjsnider, I went for the graphics card because its got a big heatsink with no fan [16:10] bjsnider, i like the silence [16:10] that should work fine [16:11] you nough all-intel, which is the right move [16:11] bought, i mean [16:11] i checked on linux compatible websites first [16:11] i was tempted to go for the i5 with built in GPU [16:11] but I thought having nvidia was going to give me more flexibility in future [16:12] and you're using maverick? [16:12] i've always had nvidia graphics cards and they've always been great [16:12] yes, maverick [16:13] how did you install ubuntu? where did you get it? [16:13] would it have been better to go for LTS version [16:13] I downloaded from ubuntu directly and made a USB pen [16:13] using the windows USB installer app [16:14] are you dual-booting or something? [16:15] no, i used a separate laptop [16:16] i have a windows laptop so I can test websites with IE [16:16] I'll try a reboot now [16:16] hopefully i'll be back in a moment [16:16] i would have used the amd64 desktop install cd [16:17] i have intel processor [16:18] i read online that 32bit version would give more choice of packages [16:18] i'll reboot. back in a moment! [16:20] I'm on Nouvea now [16:20] codemagician, amd64 covers all 64-bit processors except the itanium [16:20] I assumed amd meant AMD processors only [16:22] intel uses amd's code that allows 32-bit code to run on a 64-bit processor [16:23] aha, i see [16:23] i followed the sheep [16:23] performance isn't really an issue [16:23] just stability [16:24] i386 gets you an easier time with flash, maybe some 3d games if that's your thing. otherwise amd64 is faster [16:26] the adobe flash player crashes my firefox every other youtube video [16:29] ooooook [18:06] bryceh_, about? i've almost got a PPA to test for the vesafb triggered GPU hangs [18:13] Amaranth: ^^ [18:14] cool [18:14] is there a ppa for intel-drm-next? [18:14] just http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/ [18:17] bryceh_, well once the kernels finish building my ppa:apw/purple is worth a test [18:19] whoops, if you install an image without installing the headers first you get lots of dkms failure fun :) === vish is now known as evilvish [18:35] apw, awesome [18:52] apw, ok, I'll keep an eye on the build and go beat the bushes for testers once the .deb is ready. thanks! [18:58] ok so it seems drm-intel-next has some really weird failure [18:59] gdm starts and I even get a tooltip because the mouse is on something but the keyboard and mouse don't work and based on the way the power button and ctrl-alt-del work I think X isn't getting keyboard/mouse grabs [21:45] hmm, quite a lot of things on https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+uploaded-packages show failures to build in the archive now because they were copied to a screwed up test build archive but they built in ubuntu fine, what the heck [21:51] Amaranth: That sounds like X just hasn't loaded any input drivers. [21:52] RAOF: why would changing the kernel cause that? [21:52] Dunno? [21:52] Did you happen to change anything else at the same time? [21:53] Can you flip the keyboard into raw mode and VT switch? [21:53] if you move the mouse, switch to a vt and come back is the mouse in a different spot? [21:53] Of course, you can only switch to a VT if (a) X has loaded a keyboard driver or (b) you've raw-mode'd the keyboard :) [21:57] chvt over ssh [21:57] Well, that too. [22:35] looks like page flipping might be a problem on agp radeons too, need to keep an eye out on ati freeze reports and have them try disabling it [22:36] darn, vish isn't here [22:36] I remember him saying his rv515 was freezing on .38 [22:39] may end up having to make that disable pageflip on palm patch disable unconditionally by default [22:54] Sarvatt: Do we have any metrics on that? Obviously my radeon hardware is perfectly happy with pageflip.\ [22:55] nope, just something to keep an eye on for now [22:56] ati bugs must be going to other packages, hardly anything in natty [22:56] compiz/unity soaking up all our bugs? :P [22:57] >:) [23:02] here's one potentially https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/725580 [23:02] Launchpad bug 725580 in xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) "black screen on boot on radeon 9200 (affects: 2) (heat: 347)" [Undecided,Incomplete] [23:15] info->ChipFamily <= CHIP_FAMILY_RV350 would cover a big chunk of the AGP's [23:16] Heh.
