| slangasek | someone here have a recent system with an SSD and Intel video? | 04:05 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottK | Define recent? | 04:05 |
| ScottK | I have a Dell Mini 10v with SSD. | 04:05 |
| ScottK | slangasek: Act fast if you need something. My pillow calls. | 04:06 |
| slangasek | ScottK: can you test lp:ubuntu/initramfs-tools? | 04:07 |
| ScottK | What do I need to do? | 04:08 |
| slangasek | download, build, install, echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/framebuffer, update-initramfs -u, reboot | 04:08 |
| slangasek | confirm that you get the right splash screen and that X comes up after | 04:09 |
| ScottK | Sounds doable. | 04:10 |
| ScottK | It's been a bit since I messed with the sacrificial lamb, so 220 packages to update first. | 04:12 |
| slangasek | ok :) | 04:12 |
| slangasek | in theory this branch fixes cryptsetup+binary video drivers, but it does carry an increased risk of a race condition causing vesafb to be loaded instead of the free drm driver for some users... want to get an idea of whether that's really a problem in practice | 04:15 |
| slangasek | actually, come to think of it, this is all in the initramfs so SSD *shouldn't* make a difference at all | 04:15 |
| slangasek | but more data points are still welcome | 04:15 |
| ScottK | OK | 04:16 |
| ScottK | Seems fine. | 04:35 |
| ScottK | Rebooted a couple of times without issue. | 04:35 |
| slangasek | cool | 04:37 |
| slangasek | want to accept initramfs-tools from the queue then? :-) | 04:38 |
| slangasek | (if not, no worries) | 04:39 |
| === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk | ||
| ScottK | Done. | 04:45 |
| slangasek | cheers | 04:47 |
| * slangasek uploads an nvidia-graphics-drivers to go with that | 04:48 | |
| Laibsch | Can somebody help me identify what fixed bug 460616 in natty? I'd like to see if it's possible to backport this to lucid. bryceh? | 05:33 |

| Laibsch | I had a look through the upstream ticket and upstream git, but was unable to precisely identify what fixed this | 05:35 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: writing it all down while it's fresh in my mind; would you care to cast an eye over https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootGraphicsArchitecture ? | 06:19 |

| hrw | I am going to hate LP build failures. my packages (armel-cross-toolchain-base and armhf-cross-toolchain-base) both ftfbs on launchpad. but when I built them locally in pbuilder or in LP chroot they got built fine. arghhhhhh | 09:06 |

| siretart | infinity: uploaded. if accepted, it'll need another upload of libav-extra (though that's in multiverse) | 14:29 |
| infinity | Hrm. This would probably be easier to review if I unpack it and compare patched sources... | 14:41 |
| infinity | siretart: Go ahead with the -extra upload, this looks quite reasonable, letting it in. | 14:56 |
| infinity | The security team will thank you, I'm sure. :P | 14:56 |

| cjwatson | slangasek: I've corrected Q-FUNK's misconception in bug 864803, but he says that that misconception came from you, so I thought I'd check whether that was an accurate representation or whether he misunderstood something | 20:02 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 864803 in linux (Ubuntu) "GRUB_GFXMODE not passed to the kernel" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/864803 | 20:02 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: yes, I know it was an imprecise statement but we're doing =keep by default so it seemed negligible | 20:06 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: speaking of my misconceptions though, any thoughts on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootGraphicsArchitecture ? | 20:07 |
| stgraber | slangasek: btw, reading through that wiki page reminded me of an issue I notice on that box I just reinstalled with Oneiric server. At boot time I get stuck on vt7 so I have to manually switch to vt1 to have a login screen. Any idea where that bug would be coming from? (I'd expect "something" to do a chvt 1) | 20:10 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: yeah, have started looking at it but won't have a full review for you until tomorrow | 20:12 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: some of the statements about GRUB are a bit inaccurate - how much do you care about when such and such a feature was introducd? | 20:12 |
| cjwatson | I'm pretty certain that gfxmode=auto was introduced well after gfxpayload=keep | 20:13 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: I care that we not include false statements, but probably can't be bothered to track down when the features were *actually* introduced where it's wrong. So we can just omit the references to the timeline :) | 20:30 |
| slangasek | stgraber: I guess plymouth-stop.conf should handle the vt switch? | 20:32 |
| slangasek | how was this handled previously? did it stop working when we started using vt.handoff=7? | 20:32 |
| slangasek | cjwatson: when I wrote that, I was thinking in terms of when features entered into the default usage in Ubuntu, btw, rather than when they became available upstream; not that this necessarily means I'm any more accurate | 20:35 |
| stgraber | slangasek: I don't remember seeing that pre-Oneiric but I'm going to do a minimal install of natty and oneiric in a VM to make sure. | 20:36 |
| bookpage | can i connect vnc output to the $DISPLAY var in ubuntu? | 21:08 |
| cjwatson | slangasek: can't quite remember; gfxpayload=keep was on and off for a while; I wrote gfxmode=auto support so that it would be easier to consistently make gfxpayload=keep the default and get a consistent video mode | 21:30 |
| cjwatson | or rather I wrote the VBE mode detection for gfxmode=auto | 21:31 |
| stgraber | slangasek: reproduced the missing vt switch on natty too (netinstalled so it may have been introduced in an SRU) | 21:49 |

| infinity | A shiny nickel to the first person who proposed a clean, regression-free, and vaguely elegant way to make cron.daily not run for a day after installation, so new user experience isn't horribly awful within the first 5 seconds. :P | 22:33 |
| micahg | infinity: is install time recorded anywhere? | 22:39 |
| lifeless | micahg: yes | 22:40 |
| nigelb | That's probably the least dirty solution. | 22:40 |
| nigelb | I was dreaming up checking if a certain file exists, if not touch filename, and exit the cron. If it does, execute the cron. | 22:41 |
| nigelb | But that's probably not clean. | 22:42 |
| lifeless | I think infinity was using irony ;) | 22:42 |
| lifeless | or something like it | 22:42 |
| nigelb | Hah. | 22:42 |
| infinity | It was born of grumpy, whether there was also ironic sarcasm involved is an exercise to the reader. | 22:43 |
| * micahg + IRC sarcasm = syntax error | 22:43 | |
| infinity | I think I might be able to blame anacron, though. | 22:43 |
| infinity | In which case, the most elegant solution might be to smack some stamp files with a stick on install. | 22:44 |
| infinity | Pretend that cron has run recently, instead of, like, never. | 22:44 |
| nigelb | Its 4 am and my neck hurts like crazy. I've temporarily lost the ability to spot sarcasm. | 22:44 |
| lifeless | nigelb: can I suggest going to bed? | 22:44 |
| nigelb | lifeless: I'm taking that suggestion right about now. :) | 22:45 |
