[17:54] <Sarvatt> ricotz: have you tried a unity session on your xserver 1.11/nvidia machine?
[17:54] <Sarvatt> or just gnome 3?
[18:14] <ricotz> Sarvatt, just gnome3 and gnome-fallback
[18:15] <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
[18:16] <ricotz> ok, i could check it too here
[18:17] <Sarvatt> how broken is cairo? :)
[18:18] <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 :)
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <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
[18:21] <ricotz> so make dist is actually working well if you have a patched kernel ;)
[18:21] <Sarvatt> ya dont skip the tests?
[18:22] <ricotz> there is no forced tests, and many of them are failing anyway currently
[18:23] <ricotz> so stripping them doesnt hurt here and reduces the tarball to 3,4mb instead of 30mb
[18:25] <ricotz> brb
[18:27] <Sarvatt> oh the magic is listed in RELEASING
[18:28] <bjsnider> i don't think there's an nvidia driver that actualy supports 1.11
[18:29] <Sarvatt> the 275 long term one does, 285 has problems but theres a server patch to get around it
[18:30] <Sarvatt> ricotz has been using 285 fine with gnome 3 at least
[18:30] <bjsnider> is the long term driver packaged?
[18:31] <Sarvatt> nope
[18:31] <bjsnider> is the aplattner patch in ubuntu's xserver 1.11?
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <bjsnider> i'm looking at the thread on nvforums about this
[18:35] <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
[18:36] <Sarvatt> its not "supported" it just works for now
[18:36] <Sarvatt> with ignoreabi
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <Sarvatt> could upload a jockey that adds IgnoreABI automatically, they seem to be due to release a new driver soon though
[18:40] <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
[18:41] <Sarvatt> i dont care that much, its missing hardware support for newer stuff :P maybe bring it up with tseliot though?
[18:42] <bjsnider> yeah but jockey should be able to sort through that stuff with the modaliases
[18:48] <ricotz> Sarvatt, this didnt went so well :\
[18:57] <bjsnider> unity didn't work?
[18:59] <ricotz> not for me here
[18:59] <ricotz> of course with xedgers ppa
[19:31] <bjsnider> well, that might make a difference
