[01:22] <bjsnider> no more tearing in gnome-shell after the 3.1.92 update
[11:06] <hm> hello everyone 
[11:07] <hm> I have a question 
[11:07] <hm> please
[11:08] <hm> someone can help me please please
[11:10] <hm> I m running on this laptop the kernel 2.6.35, and everything work great, including 3D aceleration and efects, but when I select from the GRUB the new 2.6.38 just the screen is turning BLACK and the OS start with black screen
[11:10] <hm> my videocard is the Intel mobile 4 series (915) family
[11:12] <soreau> Does it work if you boot with nomodeset?
[11:12] <hm> Hi soreau
[11:12] <hm> how can do it ?
[11:12] <soreau> hi
[11:13] <soreau> /msg ubottu nomodeset
[11:13] <soreau> if you are in a channel ubottu is..
[11:13] <hm> wait wait....hehe now I m confusing,...
[11:14] <hm> should I type it from my console terminal ? isnt ?
[11:14] <soreau> hm: You might also try asking in #intel-gfx
[11:14] <soreau> nomodeset is a kernel parameter. /msg blah blah is something you type here on IRC
[11:14] <hm> hmmm... I will try it
[11:14] <shadeslayer> i was getting this last night : http://paste.kde.org/126601/
 A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter
[11:15] <shadeslayer> i was trying to boot kubuntu under EFI mode, with nomodeset and blacklisted the fglrx/radeon driver ( Macbook Pro 8,2 )
[11:16] <shadeslayer> any ideas how to fix? ( I think i need to recompile my kernel with the dual channel lvds patch )
[11:17] <soreau> shadeslayer: blacklisting fglrx is not enough
[11:17] <shadeslayer> soreau: ok, what else?
[11:17] <soreau> you need to uninstall it completely for radeon to work
[11:17] <shadeslayer> no no, i don't want to power on discrete graphics :)
[11:17] <soreau> alternatively, you can disable the intel chip if its an option in your bios
[11:17] <shadeslayer> soreau: don't have a BIOS :P
[11:18] <shadeslayer> Macbook's have EFI
[11:18] <soreau> Oh mac
[11:18] <shadeslayer> yep
[11:18] <soreau> good luck with that then
[11:18] <shadeslayer> heh :P
[11:18] <shadeslayer> well, i've figured everything out, i get it to boot and everything, can't bring up X tho
[11:21] <hm> I m reading that article that u posted soreau
[11:22] <soreau> Good, because that is what its there for :P
[11:25] <hm> and asking the same thing one the intel-gfx channel too
[11:43] <hm> Soreau , are u still there ?
[11:43] <soreau> nope
[11:43] <hm> well, I just started on the OS using the nomode set from the grub
[11:43] <hm> with the 3.0 kernel now
[11:44] <hm> and it started with graphics
[11:44] <hm> but
[11:44] <hm> no acceleration
[11:44] <hm> no compiz
[11:44] <hm> no 3D
[11:49] <hm> hello ?
[11:53] <hm> what I should do now ?
[11:56] <soreau> hm: You likely wont get 3D without kms
[11:56] <soreau> but you can tell them what you've found in #intel-gfx
[11:57] <soreau> show them the output of lspci|grep VGA
[11:57] <soreau> give them dmesg from the failed session
[11:57] <hm> yeah I got it
[11:57] <soreau> and X log if you can get it
[12:01] <hm> sadly...no one is answering on there 
[12:02] <soreau> sadly, you havent asked anything yet..
[12:02] <soreau> Are you sure your messages are reaching the channel? (is your nick registered?)
[12:03] <soreau> because I can tell you the answer to the first question is no
[12:03] <hm> if u can read me on here...well I suppose it work on there too
[12:04] <soreau> Thats not always how it works. Some channels require your nick to be registered to speak
[12:04] <soreau> due to spam and other reasons
[12:04] <hm> aahhh ...ok
[12:04] <hm> should I ask to the operator above on that issue ?
[12:05] <soreau> operator above?
[12:06] <soreau> you dont have to say a prayer.. just use a registered nick :P

[12:07] <hm> well assuming all these last issues with this OS, I ve to be very religious to make to work that :-)
[12:07] <soreau> Man, why is ubottu not in this channel
[12:08] <soreau> hm: heh, maybe it will help after all ;)
[12:08] <hm> hehe
[19:29] <mdeslaur> any known workaround for bug 858450 ?
[19:30] <mdeslaur> LP #858450
[19:30] <mdeslaur> did the bot die?
