| ogra_ | hey, are there any known probs with the new X abi and themeing ? | 12:27 |
|---|---|---|
| ogra_ | i'm using an nvidia tegra driver over here, according to nvidia it should work fine with ABI 11 but i see a lot of small issues in firefox, with the overlay toolbars and general themes | 12:28 |
| tjaalton | ogra_: probably a driver bug then | 14:11 |
| Sarvatt | ogra_: try downgrading to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pixman/0.24.0-1 ? | 15:19 |
| ogra_ | Sarvatt, ah, thanks, will try that later today | 15:19 |
| * ogra_ has meetings all over the day | 15:19 | |
| tjaalton | oh right, that got updated | 15:20 |
| Sarvatt | ogra_: I'm not sure what kind of corruption you're getting, but there is a bug in the newer pixman | 15:20 |
| Sarvatt | https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=55873 | 15:20 |
| Sarvatt | instead of https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=55872 with 0.24.0 | 15:20 |
| Sarvatt | oh got updated? | 15:20 |
| Sarvatt | ah got my hopes up they already released a revert of what broke it :) | 15:21 |
| tjaalton | nah meant that I synced 0.24.2 | 15:21 |
| jcristau | ssp posted a revert patch for that one aiui? | 15:25 |
| Sarvatt | yeah http://mid.gmane.org/ye8ehunr1fm.fsf@llama16.cs.au.dk http://mid.gmane.org/ye8y5sv8s46.fsf@llama16.cs.au.dk | 15:26 |
| orated | Hello! | 15:30 |
| orated | I need some help with Dell XPS 15 dual graphics card. I used - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/Machines/Laptops/Dell/XPS/15#Optimus_.2BAC8_Graphics_cards - and followed - echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch - command to turn off the card but it gives error of - # ls -l /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch ls: cannot access /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch: No such file or directory - As per lspci, | 15:33 |
| orated | there there is Nvidia card detected but I'm not able to switch if off. How to fix this? | 15:33 |
| tjaalton | it's not possible to select from bios? | 15:34 |
| orated | No, I don't see any option in BIOS to disable second graphics card | 15:35 |
| orated | tjaalton: But howcome switch directory is not present in my system? | 15:41 |
| tjaalton | orated: no idea.. | 15:42 |
| tjaalton | using the distro kernel and not your own? | 15:43 |
| orated | Well, the instruction in the same wiki to completely disable the Nvidia card works though | 15:44 |
| ogra_ | Sarvatt, hmm, now i had time to read the bug, i think my issues are worse than just badly rendered triangles | 15:44 |
| orated | 3.0.0-15-generic | 15:44 |
| tjaalton | yeah blacklisting nouveau makes sense | 15:45 |
| orated | But I'm not sure if its completely disabled | 15:45 |
| tjaalton | check the power usage | 15:45 |
| orated | yes before blacklisting I remember the number but not the unit.. I remember 159 (unit) and after blacklisting, now it says - grep rate /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state - around 3000 mA | 15:47 |
| orated | which changes to 1mA to at times unknown | 15:48 |
| orated | on battery | 15:48 |
| orated | power in watts but the command listed in wiki gives current | 15:49 |
| orated | cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state gives no value for power here | 15:49 |
| tjaalton | use powertop-1.13 | 15:56 |
| orated | tjaalton: I don't think its possible to get power rating with a software tool. I tried powertop.. It gives Summary: 1008.9 wakeups/second, 0.0 GPU ops/second and 0.0 VFS ops/sec and table, nothing in watts | 16:09 |
| tjaalton | that's why I said powertop-1.13 | 16:15 |
| orated | ok installed 1.13 now | 16:20 |
| orated | and pinned it | 16:20 |
| tjaalton | it's a separate package, no need to pin | 16:21 |
| orated | ok | 16:21 |
| orated | I used http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/powertop | 16:21 |
| orated | and locked the version* | 16:22 |
| tjaalton | the archive has both versions | 16:22 |
| orated | ah | 16:22 |
| orated | Well, I will use from the archive later then. Now after running powertop, is the number within brackets under Top causes for wakeups in mW ? | 16:23 |
| orated | I see Wakeups-from-idle per second : 138.1 interval: 15.0s no ACPI power usage estimate available | 16:24 |
| tjaalton | run powertop-1 | 16:25 |
| tjaalton | hmm | 16:25 |
| jcristau | orated: on battery, or ac? | 16:25 |
| orated | ah | 16:25 |
| jcristau | the acpi power usage estimate thing only works on battery afaik | 16:26 |
| tjaalton | right | 16:26 |
| orated | ok on battery - Power usage (ACPI estimate): 38.9W (2.7 hours) | 16:26 |
| tjaalton | wow :) | 16:26 |
| tjaalton | my t420s takes ~9 | 16:26 |
| orated | Now, what does - 888.0 represent in Top causes for wakeups: 53.0% (888.0) [Rescheduling interrupts] <kernel IPI> ? | 16:27 |
| jcristau | it represents 888 wakeups | 16:27 |
| orated | I'm not sure how does it conform if the secondary GPU is disabled | 16:28 |
| orated | probably not | 16:28 |
| tjaalton | right, sounds like it's still powered on | 16:31 |
| orated | any other suggestion then? | 16:33 |
| tjaalton | not really.. | 16:34 |
| orated | It says now - Power usage (ACPI estimate): 31.4W (3.2 hours) (long term: 100.1W,/1.0h) | 16:35 |
| orated | Ok | 16:35 |
| tjaalton | this thinkpad is the only hybrid gfx machine I've had | 16:35 |
| tjaalton | and it has a bios option to choose | 16:35 |
| orated | thinkpad allows to disable secondary gfx card in bios, yes | 16:36 |
| orated | anyway thanks tjaalton jcristau | 16:44 |
| bryceh | cnd, for bug 754000 the branch is in the patch pilot queue for upload sponsorship, but it's a bit ambiguous whether it should go in | 19:27 |
| ubot4` | Launchpad bug 754000 in xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) (and 4 other projects) "Running Unity disables Xorg's 3-finger click support (middle click) (affects: 55) (dups: 4) (heat: 245)" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/754000 | 19:27 |
| bryceh | cnd, should I upload it, or should I put the branch back to work in progress to remove it from the sponsor queue? | 19:28 |
| bryceh | (I've checked that it builds and written a changelog entry) | 19:28 |
| bryceh | cnd, I don't have touch hardware I can test it on, but am wondering maybe just toss the patch in and see if anyone complains? | 19:51 |
| cnd | bryceh, the patch doesn't apply to precise anymore | 21:21 |
| cnd | and I worry that it could have regressions if applied as an SRU | 21:21 |
| cnd | unfortunately, I haven't had enough time to test it | 21:21 |
| cnd | but it modifies a moderately complex area of the code | 21:22 |
| bryceh | cnd, ok sounds like you would be against it, so I will unmark it for sponsorship | 21:24 |
| cnd | bryceh, I can leave a comment if you are busy | 21:24 |
| bryceh | I'm patch piloting today, so it's what I'm supposed to do | 21:25 |
| cnd | ok | 21:27 |
| bryceh | cnd, ok it's dropped from the sponsor queue | 21:39 |
