=== dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk === yofel_ is now known as yofel === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === micahg_ is now known as micahg [04:05] someone here have a recent system with an SSD and Intel video? [04:05] Define recent? [04:05] I have a Dell Mini 10v with SSD. [04:06] slangasek: Act fast if you need something. My pillow calls. [04:07] ScottK: can you test lp:ubuntu/initramfs-tools? [04:08] What do I need to do? [04:08] download, build, install, echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/framebuffer, update-initramfs -u, reboot [04:09] confirm that you get the right splash screen and that X comes up after [04:10] Sounds doable. [04:12] It's been a bit since I messed with the sacrificial lamb, so 220 packages to update first. [04:12] ok :) [04:15] 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] actually, come to think of it, this is all in the initramfs so SSD *shouldn't* make a difference at all [04:15] but more data points are still welcome [04:16] OK [04:35] Seems fine. [04:35] Rebooted a couple of times without issue. [04:37] cool [04:38] want to accept initramfs-tools from the queue then? :-) [04:39] (if not, no worries) === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [04:45] Done. [04:47] cheers [04:48] * slangasek uploads an nvidia-graphics-drivers to go with that [05:33] 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] Launchpad bug 460616 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "[i915] [i945gm] Black video playback with dual screen enabled" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/460616 [05:35] I had a look through the upstream ticket and upstream git, but was unable to precisely identify what fixed this [06:19] 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 ? === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter === htorque_ is now known as htorque [09:06] 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 === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === tikohumsup_ is now known as Rajsun === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [12:10] Please, how to resume from 'hibernation' or 'suspend' status pressing the 'usb keyboard' instead of press the computer power button? === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan === JanC_ is now known as JanC [14:29] infinity: uploaded. if accepted, it'll need another upload of libav-extra (though that's in multiverse) [14:41] Hrm. This would probably be easier to review if I unpack it and compare patched sources... [14:56] siretart: Go ahead with the -extra upload, this looks quite reasonable, letting it in. [14:56] The security team will thank you, I'm sure. :P === shayonj_ is now known as shayonj === dendrobates is now known as dendro-afk [20:02] 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] Launchpad bug 864803 in linux (Ubuntu) "GRUB_GFXMODE not passed to the kernel" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/864803 [20:06] cjwatson: yes, I know it was an imprecise statement but we're doing =keep by default so it seemed negligible [20:07] cjwatson: speaking of my misconceptions though, any thoughts on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootGraphicsArchitecture ? [20:10] 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) [20:12] slangasek: yeah, have started looking at it but won't have a full review for you until tomorrow [20:12] 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? [20:13] I'm pretty certain that gfxmode=auto was introduced well after gfxpayload=keep [20:30] 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 :) [20:32] stgraber: I guess plymouth-stop.conf should handle the vt switch? [20:32] how was this handled previously? did it stop working when we started using vt.handoff=7? [20:35] 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 [20:36] 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. [21:08] can i connect vnc output to the $DISPLAY var in ubuntu? [21:30] 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 [21:31] or rather I wrote the VBE mode detection for gfxmode=auto [21:49] slangasek: reproduced the missing vt switch on natty too (netinstalled so it may have been introduced in an SRU) === RAOF_ is now known as RAOF [22:33] 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 [22:39] infinity: is install time recorded anywhere? [22:40] micahg: yes [22:40] That's probably the least dirty solution. [22:41] I was dreaming up checking if a certain file exists, if not touch filename, and exit the cron. If it does, execute the cron. [22:42] But that's probably not clean. [22:42] I think infinity was using irony ;) [22:42] or something like it [22:42] Hah. [22:43] 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] I think I might be able to blame anacron, though. [22:44] In which case, the most elegant solution might be to smack some stamp files with a stick on install. [22:44] Pretend that cron has run recently, instead of, like, never. [22:44] Its 4 am and my neck hurts like crazy. I've temporarily lost the ability to spot sarcasm. [22:44] nigelb: can I suggest going to bed? [22:45] lifeless: I'm taking that suggestion right about now. :)
