bjsnidercantarell18:45
ricotzbjsnider, no it isnt available, i just customized them18:47
EagleScreenbryceh: can I expect an upload of intel driver 2.15.0 soon in X-Updates PPA??19:21
EagleScreenanyone else?19:21
brycehEagleScreen, perhaps, if someone has some freetime to do it, although with the release people are pretty busy19:35
brycehEagleScreen, would you be interested in joining the xorg-edgers team to help do updates?19:35
EagleScreeni am a beginer packager19:36

EagleScreenbut if you think I can help.. i'd join19:38
brycehEagleScreen, that's probably fine - there are scripts you run to generate the packages, so it doesn't require a heavy amount of packaging know-how (except when you need to troubleshoot problems, which others can help with anyway)19:39
brycehlet me dig up some additional info for you to look at 19:39
brycehEagleScreen, on https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers scroll down to "Contributors to xorg-edgers be welcome" and read that section19:41
brycehit shows where you can get the script, and how to run it to get a new upstream snapshot of a video driver19:42
brycehEagleScreen, give that a try and see if you can make a 2.15.0 snapshot driver for yourself19:42
EagleScreenok19:47
EagleScreenbut i was thinking in make stable 2.15.0 not a git snapshot19:48
EagleScreeni was playing with debian unstable (KDE) and i have seen that desktop effects works pretty well with my intel card, then i thougth it was by the 2.15.0 driver newer than 2.14 in Kubuntu natty, but now i see that debian esting with 2.14.0 also have good desktop effects19:50
EagleScreenin natty ther are very slow and KDE disable them19:51
EagleScreenso it must be another thing more than the 2.15.019:52
brycehEagleScreen, ok well one of us will eventually get 2.15.0 into x-updates once some of the more pressing issues are taken care of20:04
brycehactually with the release out now it's probably a good time to refresh x-updates.20:05
EagleScreenyes, but 2.15.0 may not fix the desktop effects issue since they work in Debian under 2.14.020:06
EagleScreenthe difference must be in another X package, may be some library20:06
Sarvattit's not in there yet because of libdrm, the nvidia package will depend on the newer libdrm (even though it doesn't use it) and a lot of people just install the nvidia deb from that PPA which will screw up things20:07
Sarvattkde effects being slow would be mesa20:07
brycehheya Sarvatt20:08
Sarvattmore than likely I bet you're seeing that blur is disabled automatically in debian, but its getting enabled in ubuntu which is leading to the disable effects fallback20:08
Sarvattheyo bryceh!20:09
EagleScreenboth natty and Debian have 7.10.220:09
Sarvattyeah but debian does not revert the commit that breaks direct rendering in KDE in their mesa20:10
Sarvatt(which means no blur automatically on intel)20:10
EagleScreenthen, direct rendering is broken now in Debian testing? how do I check it?20:12
Sarvatti'm not familiar with KDE to answer that, I think there's a lot that tells you if direct rendering is enabled? let me dig up the bug reports20:13
Sarvattlog rather20:13
SarvattEagleScreen: ~/.xsession-errors20:14
Sarvatton debian it will say20:14
bjsniderricotz, the problem ryan paul complained about in his review of gnome 3, where there's too much white space everywhere is due to the cantarell font. i just installed and tested it. the ubuntu font looks better from the standpoint of whitespace.20:14
SarvattDirect rendering:                       no20:14
SarvattRequires strict binding:                yes20:14
SarvattGLSL shaders:                           no20:14
Sarvattand on natty it will say20:14
SarvattDirect rendering:                       yes20:14
SarvattRequires strict binding:                yes20:14
SarvattGLSL shaders:                           yes20:14
bjsniderlooks like cantarell adds a lot of padding on the top of the letters20:15
EagleScreeni dont see that lines in the file20:17
SarvattEagleScreen: run kwin manually maybe? should be in the terminal output when you run it20:17
Sarvattalternatively, just disable blur and lanczos in kwin to stop the fallbacks20:21
EagleScreeni still dont see it, neither on terminal20:21
EagleScreeni dont know what blur is20:21
EagleScreenand how to disable it20:21
SarvattI dont know how to disable it in KDE either, was under the impression there was an option in the GUI to do it though. anyone else here know?20:23
Sarvattquite a lot of interesting linaro sessions this time around22:33
