| Sarvatt | pheeeew, so many X bugs about the unity-3D issue. vanvugt rocks for duplicating so many of these already | 18:10 |
|---|---|---|
| Sarvatt | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/963633 https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/963093 https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/949296 covers the vast majority of X bugs in the past week | 18:10 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 963633 in unity (Ubuntu Precise) "Unity 5.8: Login to blank screen (all black or just wallpaper)" [Critical,Confirmed] | 18:11 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 963093 in unity (Ubuntu Precise) "Unity 5.8: Flickering and corruption on Unity UI elements" [Critical,Confirmed] | 18:11 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 949296 in gnome-settings-daemon "gnome-settings-daemon always prevents suspend when proprietary nvidia drivers are used." [Medium,In progress] | 18:11 |
| Sarvatt | Darxus: err, your bug is with the nvidia blob, you need to use nvidia-settings to change resolutions I believe not the gnome display settings dialog? | 19:01 |
| Sarvatt | Darxus: i think you got caught in some bug bot wars reassigning things automatically :P | 19:02 |
| bjsnider | both can change resolutions | 19:04 |
| Sarvatt | not refresh rate though apparently, thats what i meant | 19:05 |
| Sarvatt | well his bug was that the gnome one shows it as an unknown monitor | 19:06 |
| bjsnider | it does do that | 19:09 |
| Darxus | Sarvatt: I was also seeing it with nouveau. | 19:45 |
| Darxus | Sarvatt: And I don't see it with nouveau when I boot back to oneric. | 19:45 |
| Darxus | Sarvatt: My problem, I believe, is that my monitor is not being detected properly. With either driver. | 19:46 |

| === RAOF_ is now known as RAOF | ||
| RAOF | cnd: Whom do I have to bribe with beer to get 3-finger-tap-as-middle-click working again? | 22:52 |
| Sarvatt | RAOF: thought that was disabled intentionally to never return? | 22:53 |
| Sarvatt | interferes with gestures? | 22:53 |
| johanbr | synclient ClickFinger3=2 doesn't help? | 22:59 |
| Sarvatt | maybe if you ClickPad=0 first | 23:02 |
| Sarvatt | (me is just guessing he's referring to his magic trackpad) | 23:03 |
| johanbr | Speaking of multi-finger things, what's the likely culprit if geistest says "error subscribing to gestures"? some daemon not running? | 23:21 |
| johanbr | RAOF, I just discovered tapping at the top right gives me middle click, I don't know if that's an acceptable substitute | 23:23 |
| RAOF | FREAKY! | 23:24 |
| RAOF | Bah. Heaven forfend that the kernel could dump some sort of state to disc before hard-freezing. | 23:37 |
| bjsnider | has that ever been discussed? | 23:39 |
| bjsnider | it would seem like a good idea | 23:39 |
| bjsnider | kind of obvious | 23:39 |
| RAOF | The obvious trouble is: when you've hard-locked, you're broken. | 23:39 |
| bjsnider | the windows kernel does that | 23:39 |
| cnd | Sarvatt, RAOF, it's disabled by default, but you can enable it with synclient TapButton3=2 | 23:43 |
| cnd | you don't need to disable clickpad support | 23:43 |
| RAOF | Cool. | 23:43 |
| cnd | johanbr, it's probably attempting to subscribe on the root window | 23:43 |
| cnd | but only one utouch client can subscribe to a window at the same time | 23:43 |
| cnd | and if you're running unity, then unity already has a subscription | 23:43 |
| johanbr | cnd, ahh... | 23:44 |
| cnd | so you want to use geistest with the -w option to specify a different window | 23:44 |
| cnd | bjsnider, there have been many attempts over the years to save state to disk when a kernel oopses | 23:45 |
| cnd | many of them are even in the mainline tree I think | 23:45 |
| cnd | one or two may be compiled into the ubuntu kernel | 23:45 |
| cnd | but they require manual setup | 23:45 |
| johanbr | I think I've seen a kernel patch that writes some state to nvram... | 23:45 |
| cnd | and sometimes are hardware and environment specific | 23:45 |
| cnd | cking actually added a patch to save a limited backtrace hash to the hw clock | 23:46 |
| cnd | since the hw clock is maintained across boots | 23:46 |
| Sarvatt | oh god that patch was so screwy | 23:46 |
| johanbr | oh, that's probably what I'm thinking of | 23:46 |
| cnd | Sarvatt, yeah, it's a really interesting piece of debug work | 23:46 |
| cnd | cking does crazy stuff | 23:47 |
| Sarvatt | it screwed up your time, completely breaking vblank timestamps next boot :) | 23:47 |
| cnd | like outputting console over speakers using binary code, and using a mic from another computer to turn it back into a visual console | 23:47 |
| cnd | or flashing your caps lock leds to diagnose suspend/resume problems | 23:48 |
| RAOF | Now *that's* an awesome hack. | 23:48 |
| cnd | RAOF, http://smackerelofopinion.blogspot.com/2011/08/debugging-s3-suspendresume-using.html | 23:48 |
| RAOF | Yeah, I know it. | 23:49 |
| cnd | anyways, it's still my sunday, so I'm going to stop chatting on irc and go play video games :) | 23:49 |
| RAOF | Excellent plan! | 23:50 |
| Sarvatt | on a tales of graces f break here :) | 23:51 |
| johanbr | Hmm, geistest refuses to register anything, though... I wonder if that's because I'm using a clickpad | 23:54 |
