| Sarvatt | ricotz: have you tried a unity session on your xserver 1.11/nvidia machine? | 17:54 |
|---|---|---|
| Sarvatt | or just gnome 3? | 17:54 |
| ricotz | Sarvatt, just gnome3 and gnome-fallback | 18:14 |
| ricotz | are there problems? | 18:15 |
| ricotz | btw, i uploaded a cairo snapshot to my staging ppa | 18:15 |
| Sarvatt | ah ok, one guy saying unity doesn't work but gnome 3 does. i'll update my nvidia box the wife is using to oneiric and try it out | 18:15 |
| ricotz | ok, i could check it too here | 18:16 |
| Sarvatt | how broken is cairo? :) | 18:17 |
| ricotz | it is working quite well :) | 18:18 |
| Sarvatt | had all kinds of fun when i was updating that when 1.10 was in the rc phase | 18:18 |
| ricotz | it also includes a regression test with my name now :P | 18:18 |
| Sarvatt | lots of subtle corruption popping up, progress bars, gradients | 18:18 |
| Sarvatt | cool, throw it in edgers if ya want :) | 18:18 |
| ricotz | could you grab it and test it first? | 18:19 |
| Sarvatt | sure, can ya give me a few days using it to see if i notice anything first? | 18:19 |
| ricotz | the tarball is a bit stripped now due failing make dist | 18:19 |
| Sarvatt | yeah make dist on cairo is fun | 18:19 |
| Sarvatt | there were some env variables that made it work though, heck if i can remember | 18:19 |
| Sarvatt | (work as in not take 20 hours) | 18:20 |
| ricotz | it would actually work, but there are too many test images referenced in one makefile which break the commandline argument length | 18:20 |
| ricotz | so make dist is actually working well if you have a patched kernel ;) | 18:21 |
| Sarvatt | ya dont skip the tests? | 18:21 |
| ricotz | there is no forced tests, and many of them are failing anyway currently | 18:22 |
| ricotz | so stripping them doesnt hurt here and reduces the tarball to 3,4mb instead of 30mb | 18:23 |
| ricotz | brb | 18:25 |
| Sarvatt | oh the magic is listed in RELEASING | 18:27 |
| bjsnider | i don't think there's an nvidia driver that actualy supports 1.11 | 18:28 |
| Sarvatt | the 275 long term one does, 285 has problems but theres a server patch to get around it | 18:29 |
| Sarvatt | ricotz has been using 285 fine with gnome 3 at least | 18:30 |
| bjsnider | is the long term driver packaged? | 18:30 |
| Sarvatt | nope | 18:31 |
| bjsnider | is the aplattner patch in ubuntu's xserver 1.11? | 18:31 |
| Sarvatt | xserver hasn't been updated in a few weeks because the release manager has been at conferences and stuff, it'll be in 1.11.1 http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel/2011-September/025062.html | 18:32 |
| Sarvatt | gonna put that in edgers 1.11 if its not in 1.11-branch tomorrow | 18:32 |
| bjsnider | that would fix issues as lng as ignoreabi is used in xorg.conf | 18:33 |
| bjsnider | until a new driver is released | 18:33 |
| Sarvatt | nope that was something else | 18:33 |
| bjsnider | i'm looking at the thread on nvforums about this | 18:34 |
| Sarvatt | i read it, extension abi didnt get bumped before 1.11 released | 18:35 |
| bjsnider | but i might not be fully understanding it | 18:35 |
| bjsnider | but somebody asks if the patch would allow the driver to work without ignoreabi, and plattner says no | 18:35 |
| Sarvatt | its not "supported" it just works for now | 18:36 |
| Sarvatt | with ignoreabi | 18:36 |
| bjsnider | yeah, that's what i mean | 18:37 |
| bjsnider | in other words, at least it works fine, even thought he extra option is still needed | 18:37 |
| Sarvatt | could upload a jockey that adds IgnoreABI automatically, they seem to be due to release a new driver soon though | 18:38 |
| bjsnider | maybe the long term stable driver should be packaged as "nvidia-stable" or something and preferred over -current, while current would also be available | 18:40 |
| Sarvatt | i dont care that much, its missing hardware support for newer stuff :P maybe bring it up with tseliot though? | 18:41 |
| bjsnider | yeah but jockey should be able to sort through that stuff with the modaliases | 18:42 |
| ricotz | Sarvatt, this didnt went so well :\ | 18:48 |
| bjsnider | unity didn't work? | 18:57 |
| ricotz | not for me here | 18:59 |
| ricotz | of course with xedgers ppa | 18:59 |
| bjsnider | well, that might make a difference | 19:31 |
