RAOF | Darxus: Hey, could I get you to check a grub-gfxpayload-lists upload to fix your splash madness? | 04:03 |
---|---|---|
tjaalton | seb128: hey, the g-s-d wacom patch was approved by the wacom maintainer, I've yet to push it upstream, but you could add it to the package :) | 09:13 |
seb128 | tjaalton, sure | 09:14 |
tjaalton | or should I push it to the bzr branch? dunno if I can | 09:14 |
seb128 | tjaalton, do you have a upload rights for g-s-d? | 09:16 |
tjaalton | seb128: yes | 09:16 |
tjaalton | core dev | 09:16 |
tjaalton | hmm i thought the bzr branches were owned by ~ubuntu-desktop | 09:17 |
seb128 | tjaalton, yes, but coredev is a subteam of ~ubuntu-desktop to resolve that issue :p | 09:21 |
seb128 | or rather member of ... | 09:21 |
tjaalton | ah, ok | 09:21 |
seb128 | tjaalton, so feel free to push to the vcs, upload | 09:21 |
tjaalton | seb128: ok, will do | 09:22 |
seb128 | tjaalton, thanks | 09:25 |
Prf_Jakob | Sarvatt, bryceh: Somebody broken the llvmpipe blacklist in Unity. | 12:52 |
Darxus | RAOF: Just woke up, about to test. | 13:09 |
Darxus | RAOF: Confirmed it works, updating bug. | 13:24 |
mdeslaur | bryceh, tseliot: FYI, I am going to publish the driver security update for the stable releases in a few minutes | 13:35 |
tseliot | mdeslaur: great, thanks, I'll take care of the driver in Precise soon | 13:36 |
tjaalton | mdeslaur: which driver? | 13:36 |
tseliot | nvidia | 13:36 |
mdeslaur | http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3109 | 13:36 |
tjaalton | hum, ok | 13:36 |
mdeslaur | tseliot: thanks. Do you want my debdiffs for the older drivers? | 13:37 |
tseliot | mdeslaur: only for the ones in oneiric, if possible, thanks | 13:38 |
mdeslaur | tseliot: ok, sent via email | 13:41 |
tseliot | mdeslaur: thanks | 13:41 |

Prf_Jakob | Sarvatt: So, we have bug that we probably like to get a fix in for. | 15:20 |
Prf_Jakob | Or work around. | 15:20 |
Prf_Jakob | The work around is you give the vmwgfx module the argument "enable_fbdev=1" | 15:22 |
Prf_Jakob | Luckely the bug only happens when you syspend the VM from inside the guest. | 15:25 |

bryceh | mdeslaur, thanks | 17:16 |
bryceh | Prf_Jakob, got details on the llvmpipe breakage? need my help? | 17:16 |
mdeslaur | bryceh: thanks for the help! :) | 17:16 |
Prf_Jakob | bryceh: I just started the legacy driver by disabling vmwgfx.ko, and it looked like it used llvmpipe. | 17:30 |
Prf_Jakob | Hmm I'm not getting llvmpipe when I just disabled 3D. | 17:32 |
Prf_Jakob | Hmmm just retried it, it didn't happen... | 17:35 |
Prf_Jakob | bryceh: sorry for the noise. | 17:35 |
Prf_Jakob | bryceh: I would like to know if there is a possibility to get a fix in for the kernel driver? | 17:35 |
Prf_Jakob | As I asked before. | 17:36 |
Prf_Jakob | BBL dinner. | 17:36 |
bryceh | Prf_Jakob, it is hard but not impossible; there is a process to follow for that. As a general rule, the fix needs to get into the mainline kernel first (and ideally also the stable kernel) | 17:44 |
Prf_Jakob | bryceh: ah, its just a argument addition. | 17:54 |
Prf_Jakob | Is it even possible to do that? | 17:54 |
Prf_Jakob | I'm gussing modprobe is involved. | 17:55 |
bryceh | Prf_Jakob, ogaswara or apw would probably be the people to talk to | 18:10 |
bryceh | Prf_Jakob, by argument do you mean adding a kernel module parameter? | 18:11 |
apw | yeah if its just changing the module config that is outside the kernel anyhow | 18:12 |
bryceh | apw, who controls that? slangasek's team? | 18:15 |
Sarvatt | bryceh: x-x-v-vmware could install a modprobe.conf rule to add the option, or it could just be twiddled to default on in the kernel | 18:19 |
Sarvatt | Prf_Jakob: how's the llvmpipe blacklist broken? seems to be ok here still http://paste.ubuntu.com/925255/ | 18:20 |
Sarvatt | blacklisting llvmpipe from using unity is intentional | 18:20 |
Sarvatt | ah missed the later conversation about that one, sorry | 18:23 |
Sarvatt | bryceh: like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/925266/ | 18:32 |
bryceh | Sarvatt, right, thanks | 18:43 |
bryceh | Prf_Jakob, so if it's just changing a module param, we should be able to handle that using normal final freeze bug fixing processes | 18:44 |
bryceh | key thing is to just assure that wide enough testing has been done to catch potential regressions | 18:44 |
Prf_Jakob | bryceh: okay, thanks | 18:47 |
Prf_Jakob | Sarvatt: Sorry for the noise, I should have verified the bug. | 18:48 |
Prf_Jakob | Sarvatt: Thanks, how would I go about intructing QA noobs on how to test this? | 18:50 |
