| alkisg | I'm trying to pass 'us,gr' as the keyboard layouts in Xephyr, but the comma is seen as a parameter separator so it doesn't work: | 08:49 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | $ Xephyr :1 -keybd ephyr,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkbrules=evdev,xkblayout=us,gr,xkboptions=grp:alt_shift_togge -ac -reset -screen 1024x600 -query 127.0.0.1 | 08:49 |
| alkisg | [it gives me this warning]: Kbd option key (gr) of value ((null)) not assigned! | 08:49 |
| alkisg | Does anyone know the correct syntax? | 08:49 |
| tjaalton | use doublequotes? | 08:50 |
| alkisg | I tried them around "us,gr", but I got the same warning (and still not working): | 08:51 |
| alkisg | Xephyr :1 -keybd ephyr,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkbrules=evdev,xkblayout="us,gr",xkboptions=grp:alt_shift_togge -ac -reset -screen 1024x600 -query 127.0.0.1 | 08:51 |
| RAOF | You might need to escape the quotes; it's possible your shell is eating them. | 08:54 |
| alkisg | I also tried \", nothing, and I tried to quote the whole command line in '', again no joy | 08:54 |
| alkisg | Xephyr :1 -keybd 'ephyr,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkbrules=evdev,xkblayout="us,gr",xkboptions=grp:alt_shift_togge' -ac -reset -screen 1024x600 -query 127.0.0.1 | 08:55 |
| alkisg | Kbd option key (gr") of value ((null)) not assigned! | 08:55 |
| alkisg | Is some other separator acceptable, like e.g. xkblayout=us|gr ? | 09:00 |
| alkisg | Ah, got it: $ Xephyr :1 -keybd ephyr,,xkbmodel=evdev,xkbrules=evdev,xkblayout=us+gr:2,xkboptions=grp:alt_shift_toggle -ac -reset -screen 1024x600 -query 127.0.0.1 | 09:07 |
| tjaalton | how did you figure it out? no manpage even mentions '-keybd' | 09:08 |
| alkisg | Yup I know :( | 09:08 |
| alkisg | I googled and googled and found some broken examples | 09:09 |
| tjaalton | ok | 09:09 |
| alkisg | Then 2 hours later I got it working with trial and error :-/ | 09:09 |
| ScottK | alkisg: It might be useful to file a bug with suggestions for improving the man page while this experience is fresh in your mind. | 13:56 |
| alkisg | ScottK: hmm ok, but against which package? the Xephyr man page only lists 3 options, maybe those that are specific to Xephyr itself. Maybe the rest of the options are Xorg options, to be documented in `man X`? But I can't even find "query" in `man X`... | 14:00 |
| alkisg | Is "X -query" documented someplace else? | 14:01 |
| ScottK | Dunno. | 14:01 |
| tjaalton | Source: xorg-server | 14:01 |
| ScottK | There we go. | 14:01 |
| alkisg | Ah, "query" is documented in `man xserver` | 14:02 |
| alkisg | `Xephyr --help` does show the available TinyX options. So they're just missing from the Xephyr manpage... | 14:23 |
| Sarvatt | http://people.ubuntuwire.org/~wgrant/rebuild-ftbfs-test/test-rebuild-20110413-natty.html errr nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 is in the archive? | 17:15 |
| Sarvatt | been in there since karmic apparently, dont think thats intentional | 17:17 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| bryceh | Sarvatt, yeah was wondering about that myself. Shouldn't we drop it (or at least close out the bugs)? | 20:42 |
| tjaalton | should be removed | 20:45 |
| tjaalton | maybe bugbot would then stop reassigning bugs there :) | 20:49 |
| Sarvatt | bryceh: did you mean to have a desktopcouch dependency in xdiagnose? | 20:51 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, no | 20:51 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, I used quickly to generate the project, I'll bet that pulled it in for preferences or some such (which I don't use) | 20:52 |
| bryceh | heh, I ended up deleting so much stuff quickly generated it would have been easier to generate the project from scratch ;-) | 20:53 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, does bugbot assign bugs there? if so I should fix that. Thought it was directing them to the general nvidia package | 20:54 |
| Sarvatt | wasn't sure if there was some feature you were planning that used it or something | 20:54 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: bug 718742 as an example | 20:54 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 718742 in xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) "Cyborg R.A.T.7 Right Click Issue (affects: 1) (heat: 8)" [Undecided,Won't fix] https://launchpad.net/bugs/718742 | 20:54 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, thanks I'll investigate | 20:55 |
| tjaalton | or bug 765850 | 20:55 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 765850 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) "unable to rotate display left or right (affects: 1) (heat: 3257)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/765850 | 20:55 |
| bryceh | heh, I've got some weird bug where sometimes right clicking to bring up the context menu in chromium causes the area that was occupied by the context menu to remain (doesn't re-render) showing a static clipping from the browser window | 20:58 |
| bryceh | vt switching causes those regions to turn gray | 20:59 |
| bryceh | a sufficient amount of switching desktops seems to eventually make the issue go away | 20:59 |
| bryceh | this on an rv770 with -ati on 2.6.38.8.22 | 21:01 |
| tjaalton | hmm bug 771344 is the one jane has? | 21:04 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 771344 in xorg (Ubuntu) "external monitor does not work (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/771344 | 21:04 |
| bryceh | yeah I think all those arrandale bugs are the same | 21:04 |
| bryceh | tjaalton, seems to be fixed with newer kernel, but having hard time finding someone willing to bisect | 21:05 |
| seb128 | you might be able to convince pitti to try ;-) | 21:06 |
| bryceh | ok bugbot's nvidia-180 issue is fixed | 21:09 |
| bryceh | ok desktopcouch excised from xdiagnose. | 21:12 |
| tjaalton | bryceh: good to hear that there's progress | 21:22 |
| cnd | bryceh, tjaalton: either of you interested in trying to resolve bug 762768? | 21:22 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 762768 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) "cannot select text with left click with touchpad (affects: 1) (heat: 10)" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/762768 | 21:22 |
| cnd | I think the resolution would be to try to get the input device properties to find out if it's a clickpad | 21:23 |
| cnd | input device properties are a new functionality of the kernel evdev interface in natty | 21:23 |
| cnd | if it's a clickpad, then set the area bottom edge | 21:23 |
| cnd | I'd take it and fix it myself, but I'm swamped right now | 21:23 |
| cnd | there should already be some code in my synaptics patches to determine if the trackpad is semi-mt, so you can use that as reference | 21:24 |
| bryceh | cnd, can you describe what needs done on the bug report itself? Then whichever of us wants to pick it up can take it from there | 21:33 |
| cnd | bryceh, yeah | 21:35 |
