Sarvattgoodbye SNA in edgers! :(18:20
brycehSarvatt, problems?18:20
Sarvattyeah too many reports of problems that only happen under unity18:21
brycehmm18:22
brycehSarvatt, might be worth mentioning to Intel at tomorrow's meeting; I got your invite, are you planning to attend it?18:23
jcristaui've seen ickle mention sna not liking unity a few times18:24
Sarvattyeah they know, there was a bug where ickle said he wasn't even going to look at it until unity is valgrind clean thats been sitting for 2 months :P we wont be turning it on until 12.10 at the earliest anyway and I'm getting tons of complaints (well ~15 emails a week) about it, oddly i dont have any problems on any of my machines18:32
Sarvattyeah i'll be on the call tomorrow, shared the calendar entry vanhoof made about it because you werent on it for some reason18:36
ricotzSarvatt, did you get the ubuntu-p kernel to compile? i was getting a message like "unsupported kernel version" from the buildscripts yesterday18:45
Sarvattyep, one sec18:45
SarvattDEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=parallel=64 AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 skipabi=true fakeroot debian/rules no_dumpfile=1 binary-headers binary-generic18:46
Sarvattneed the no_dumpfile=118:46
ricotzah, thanks!18:46
ricotzparallel 64 sounds nice :P18:47
Sarvattyeah kernel team quad xeon X7550, 9 minutes or so :P18:48
ricotzSarvatt, hehe18:49
ricotzi hope darktama will rebase nouveau soon, there are too many conflicts to go through them :\18:50
Sarvattholy crap thats a lot of commits18:52
Sarvattit already missed the merge window so imagine they will18:53
ricotzexactly ;)18:55
barryhi folks.  i installed fglrx and it killed my display.  is there any useful diagnostics i can gather for you before i try to uninstall and reinstall the free driver?19:37
Amaranthusany idea who I should poke about bug 603599 and bug 69800919:37
ubot4Launchpad bug 603599 in mesa (Ubuntu) "Please build the vmwgfx driver (affects: 2) (heat: 14)" [Wishlist,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/60359919:37
ubot4Launchpad bug 698009 in linux (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Request to enable vmwgfx driver in kernel config (affects: 1) (heat: 15)" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/69800919:37
brycehAmaranthus, apw would probably be the best guy to talk to about kernel graphics drivers20:03
Amaranthusgood, you just pinged him for me :)20:04
brycehmight be EOD; you might want to email him just in case Amaranthus20:05
=== Amaranthus is now known as Amaranth
AmaranthDidn't even notice my nick was wrong20:06
SarvattAmaranth: while vmwgfx in mesa requires X to build and X requires mesa to build I dont see it getting fixes unless you have any ideas on how to get around that20:07
Sarvatts/fixes/fixed/20:07
Amaranthah, right20:08
Amaranthwell, just getting the kernel side would help me :)20:08
Amaranthand we don't need the X driver for GL, do we?20:09
Prf_JakobYou do20:10
Sarvattit builds both the X driver and GL driver inside mesa20:10
Sarvatti guess one way would be to have another mesa source package that builds it just for vmwgfx with its own packages that replace the mesa ones like the proprietary drivers?20:16
Sarvattthat'd be a nightmare20:16
Prf_JakobSarvatt: do you really need to replace libGL, can't you just get the vmwgfx_[dri|drv].so from there?20:20
Sarvattthats a good point, you'd know better than me :) if thats the case it'd be a lot easier though, i'll try it out20:26

AmaranthSarvatt: You only need the files Prf_Jakob mentioned, I just did a manual build and copied those to the right places21:28
Prf_JakobAmaranth: you got it to work?21:28
AmaranthPrf_Jakob: I've been running Ubuntu in fusion with working GL/GLES acceleration for like 3 weeks now, it works fine21:28
Prf_JakobNice!21:29
* Prf_Jakob works for VMware and on that driver.21:29
Amaranthsome weird screen corruption sometimes but usually forcing a redraw fixes it21:29
Prf_JakobWhich compositor?21:30
Prf_JakobUnity?21:30
Amaranthyeah21:30
Prf_JakobOk21:30
Prf_JakobI haven't seen anything like that I think21:30
Prf_JakobNext time it happens can you take a screenshot?21:30
Amaranthmay have to do it with a camera, usually touching anything makes it go away21:31
Prf_JakobDoing it in Mac should be enough (cmd + shift + 4) 21:32
RAOFSarvatt: We could have cyclic build-depends just fine.  It'd make bootstrapping a new architecture that much less fun, but I don't plan on bootstrapping a new architecture anytime soon :)22:28
