brycehRAOF, yeah, sounds plausible00:09
brycehplus I like one-liner patches ;-)00:11
brycehis that patching libxcb or xserver?00:11
brycehdang context-less git patches...00:11
Sarvattshould be libx1100:12
brycehhmm neither. 00:12
brycehyep there it is00:13
brycehwell, gotta run to a dentist appt.  bbiab00:13
RAOFWell, looks like I get to whip up an extra event queue for barriers.  Win.01:13
tjaaltonwhee, bug triage for an hour and my head hasn't exploded yet08:11
tjaaltonis there a difference in what multimonitor mode is used by default regarding if unity is running or not?08:24
tjaaltonlike, is the default cloned or extended08:24
tjaaltonseems to be extended on my laptop08:24
tjaaltonthen again, it has .config/monitor.xml..08:25
tjaaltonmeh08:25
tjaaltonyeah, cloned is the default08:28
tjaalton..but only if the second monitor is plugged in before lightdm starts08:29
tjaaltonwhat a nice mess08:29
seb128cnd, hey11:49
seb128cnd, so gtk guys landed smooth scrolling, etc11:50
seb128cnd, that broke mouse wheel scrolling on Ubuntu though11:50
seb128cnd, mclasen says to ping some xinput guy11:50
seb128cnd, a log is http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/871310/11:50
seb128"scroll valuator 2: vertical, increment -nan"11:50
seb128he says the "-nan" is the issue there11:50
seb128cnd, I would welcome you help debugging, that blocking the gtk update11:51
seb128cnd, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/871338/ is the xinput for that mous12:18
seb128mouse12:18
seb128"  increment: -nan"12:18
psypher246rye: ok I'm here12:34
psypher246not a huge fan of global menus, they ok when they workl12:34
ryehi, people. psypher246 has installed nvidia drivers via jockey, found them not to be good and uninstalled them via jockey gui. 12:34
psypher246but they don't work so well12:34
ryebut the system has nvidia-curent package installed12:35
ryepsypher246, global menus are more likely to be discussed in #ubuntu-unity :)12:35
psypher246i know :)12:35
ryeand nvidia-current left the blacklisting file so nouveau kernel module was not loadable 12:35
ryeso the question - should uninstalling binary drivers remove nvidia-current as well?12:36
=== chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson
tjaaltonrye: yes, it should13:02
ryepsypher246, please check whether the bug with nvidia-current is already filed13:02
tjaaltonactually, are you sure the driver is just disabled?13:03
tjaalton+not13:03
tjaaltonunticking the box only disables the driver13:04
tjaaltonand the bug should be against jockey13:04
tjaaltonif there is a bug..13:04
psypher246tjaalton: yes all I did in jockey was de-activate the recommended driver13:06
psypher246last time i did that and rebooted I had no issues, today i had to remove the blacklist file13:06
tjaaltonpsypher246: do it again and if you can reproduce it, file a bug against jockey13:07
psypher246ok cool, will do, thanks13:07
tjaalton("ubuntu-bug jockey")13:07
psypher246rye: thanks for the help 13:07
ryepsypher246, you are welcome13:07
tjaaltonso, re-enable, reboot, disable, reboot13:07
psypher246schweet13:08
psypher246tjaalton: do you use the nouveau driver at all?13:12
tjaaltonpsypher246: not really13:14
psypher246so you have never experienced this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/92671413:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 926714 in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau (Ubuntu) "continuous jerky mouse movements while using nouveau driver in 12.04" [Undecided,Confirmed]13:14
tjaaltonI could verify it though13:15
psypher246any attention to the issue would be great thanks. I have more issues with the prop drivers and this is the only thing bugging me on nouveau13:16
tjaaltoni could pop the gf8600gt in the test box..13:17
psypher246tjaalton: thanks, brb rebooting after nv install13:18
psypher246tjaalton: ok so I was not able to reproduce the jockey bug. this time when i removed the nvidia driver it deleted the blacklist file as well13:27
tjaaltonpsypher246: ok13:38
tjaaltonpsypher246: so the nouveau bug, it's about the mouse pointer stopping at times?13:38
psypher246tjaalton: yes, not just the mouse though, then entire screen freezes, but only it seems like only when the mouse is moving, for instance, if i'm not moving the mouse and wathinvg a video, no freeze, but move the mouse while the video is playing, the mouse and the video freezes13:41
tjaaltonappears to be fixed on 3.3rc613:47
psypher246tjaalton: is that kernel 3.3rc613:49
tjaaltonyes13:50
psypher246awesome13:50
psypher246did you experience it on earlier kernels?13:50
tjaaltonhaven't tried13:50
psypher246ok cool;13:51
psypher246you using a kernel PPA or installed it manually?13:52
tjaaltonmainline ppa13:52
tjaaltonnow the fix needs to be found and backported to 3.2..13:52
tjaaltonfixed in 3.3rc1 to be exact, and the diff to 3.2 is 116 commits, meh..14:16
tjaaltondiff to drm/nouveau14:17

cndseb128, ok, I'll take a look today15:22
seb128cnd, thanks15:22
seb128cnd, did I give you the xinput pastebin output here? I'm not sure now15:22
cndyeah15:23
seb128cnd, basically xinput list has "  increment: -nan"15:23
seb128cnd, sorry it has been some hours and I rebooted since so I'm not sure how much details I gave, ping me if you need any debug infos ;-)15:24
seb128cnd, that's with evdev btw, but my alps pad on synaptic seems to have the same issue15:24
cndseb128, I have a valid increment here on my macbook trackpad15:24
seb128hum15:24
cndand my magic trackpad15:24
cndseb128, can you get me a utouch-evemu device property file?15:25
seb128utouch-evemu: command not found15:25
cndfigure out the /dev/input/event* node15:25
cndthen: evemu-describe /dev/input/event* > device.prop15:25
seb128ok15:25
cndapt-get install utouch-evemu-tools15:26
seb128cnd, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/871594/15:28
cndwhy oh why does paste.ubuntu.com make you go through openid to get the download?15:29
seb128yeah, that's annoying15:31
seb128I guess it's to avoid sharing files in anonymous way over pastebining15:31
cndseb128, I get an increment of -1.0000 here15:32
cndthough the device name is garbled for some reason15:32
seb128cnd, ok, that would be correct :p15:32
cndlikely a bug in utouch-evemu15:32
seb128cnd, do you use fedora? ;-)15:32
cndso I don't really know what's going wrong for you15:32
cndnope :)15:32
seb128cnd, it's not only me15:32
seb128ricotz has the same issue15:32
cndhmmm15:32
seb128and he has it as well on edger with xorg 1.1215:33
cndseb128, can you pastebin your Xorg.0.log?15:33
cndoh, I see the issue with utouch-evemu I think15:33
cndpastebin downloaded with ^M instead of /n as line endings15:33
seb128cnd, http://people.canonical.com/~seb128/Xorg.0.log15:34
cndseb128, I don't see anything wrong with the log15:36
cndseb128, the next step would normally be me having to make debug builds with printf's and such15:37
seb128cnd, well, tell me what source need rebuild and give me a diff15:38
cndbut if you want to try debugging it yourself I can walk you through the steps15:38
seb128cnd, I can patch, build15:38
cndok15:38
seb128cnd, bah, it's fine for ubuntu-desktop for pitti and desrt15:39
seb128<didrocks> increment: -nan15:39
seb128ah, I feel not alone :p15:39
cndheh15:39
seb128we are both on x8615:39
seb128others are on amd6415:39
seb128clue?15:39
cndhmm, maybe15:40
cndI'm on amd64 too15:40
cndlet me try on my netbook15:40
cndaha :)15:40
cndI have -nan on my i386 netbook15:40
seb128\o/15:40
cndseb128, I'll try to get a fix for this today15:40
cndbut if it slips to tomorrow, will that be a problem?15:41
seb128cnd, thanks a lot15:41
seb128cnd, no, it's just blocking the GTK 3.3.18 upload15:41
seb128cnd, but that can wait a day15:41
seb128cnd, that gtk is in the ubuntu-desktop ppa if you want to test it15:42
seb128they landed multitouch and smooth scrolling15:42
mvo(cross-posting from #ubuntu-devel hoping for more results) can someone with a nvidia (either free or proprietary) run  "python /usr/share/pyshared/debtagshw/opengl.py " and tell me the renderer string please? same for the fglrx driver please :)15:42
cndseb128, ok, I hope to write an upstream test case for this issue when I figure out the fix15:42
cndthat's what will probably be the blocker timewise15:43
cndbut I already have to do it for another bug15:43
seb128cnd, can we throw a fix in our package while you write the testcases?15:43
seb128cnd, well anyway please let me know when you have a patch so I can test at least locally15:43
cndyeah, it's just a matter of getting work done :)15:44
seb128cnd, I will let you work then, thanks a lot of the quick response!15:44
cndsure15:44

eruditehermithey I was trying to follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics#Script_for_use_during_bootup but it is not turning my discrete GPU off and it consumes a lot of power. Can anyone help?22:59
RAOFHuh.  I'm not surprised that script doesn't work, there's no guarantee that vgaswitcheroo will be available when it runs.23:01
RAOFeruditehermit: You should be able to turn off your discrete gpu with echo OFF | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch23:01
RAOFIf that doesn't work, then you've got a system that vgaswitcheroo doesn't support, and... it's difficult.23:02
eruditehermitRAOF, it does work when I do it manually23:02
RAOFOk.23:02
eruditehermitRAOF, I wanted it to be a startup script23:02
eruditehermitRAOF, is there a way to make it work?23:04
RAOFThere is; let me nab you an upstart script.23:04
eruditehermitok23:04
eruditehermitawesome! :)23:04
RAOFeruditehermit: http://paste.ubuntu.com/872205/23:08
eruditehermitRAOF, what should I do with this?23:09
Sarvattdrop it in /etc/init23:10
Sarvattas something.conf23:10
eruditehermitthats it?23:11
broderuh, i don't think you can use && and || like that in start on blocks23:12
broderi think it has to be and/or23:12
RAOFHuh.  Something similar worked for me.23:15
RAOFMaybe accidentally :)23:15
broderi just checked the code - "and" and "or" are definitely the only recognized operators23:17
eruditehermitso I just replace && withand23:17
eruditehermitand || with or?23:18
broderyeah23:18
eruditehermitthen I just restart23:18
eruditehermitand it will do it?23:18
broderyou can run "sudo initctl reload-configuration; sudo initctl list | grep something" to make sure it gets picked up23:19
