RAOFDarxus: Hey, could I get you to check a grub-gfxpayload-lists upload to fix your splash madness?04:03
tjaaltonseb128: 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
seb128tjaalton, sure09:14
tjaaltonor should I push it to the bzr branch? dunno if I can09:14
seb128tjaalton, do you have a upload rights for g-s-d?09:16
tjaaltonseb128: yes09:16
tjaaltoncore dev09:16
tjaaltonhmm i thought the bzr branches were owned by ~ubuntu-desktop09:17
seb128tjaalton, yes, but coredev is a subteam of ~ubuntu-desktop to resolve that issue :p09:21
seb128or rather member of ...09:21
tjaaltonah, ok09:21
seb128tjaalton, so feel free to push to the vcs, upload09:21
tjaaltonseb128: ok, will do09:22
seb128tjaalton, thanks09:25
Prf_JakobSarvatt, bryceh: Somebody broken the llvmpipe blacklist in Unity.12:52
DarxusRAOF: Just woke up, about to test.13:09
DarxusRAOF: Confirmed it works, updating bug.13:24
mdeslaurbryceh, tseliot: FYI, I am going to publish the driver security update for the stable releases in a few minutes13:35
tseliotmdeslaur: great, thanks, I'll take care of the driver in Precise soon13:36
tjaaltonmdeslaur: which driver?13:36
tseliotnvidia13:36
mdeslaurhttp://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/310913:36
tjaaltonhum, ok13:36
mdeslaurtseliot: thanks. Do you want my debdiffs for the older drivers?13:37
tseliotmdeslaur: only for the ones in oneiric, if possible, thanks13:38
mdeslaurtseliot: ok, sent via email13:41
tseliotmdeslaur: thanks13:41

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

brycehmdeslaur, thanks17:16
brycehPrf_Jakob, got details on the llvmpipe breakage?  need my help?17:16
mdeslaurbryceh: thanks for the help! :)17:16
Prf_Jakobbryceh: I just started the legacy driver by disabling vmwgfx.ko, and it looked like it used llvmpipe.17:30
Prf_JakobHmm I'm not getting llvmpipe when I just disabled 3D.17:32
Prf_JakobHmmm just retried it, it didn't happen...17:35
Prf_Jakobbryceh: sorry for the noise.17:35
Prf_Jakobbryceh: I would like to know if there is a possibility to get a fix in for the kernel driver?17:35
Prf_JakobAs I asked before.17:36
Prf_JakobBBL dinner.17:36
brycehPrf_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_Jakobbryceh: ah, its just a argument addition.17:54
Prf_JakobIs it even possible to do that?17:54
Prf_JakobI'm gussing modprobe is involved.17:55
brycehPrf_Jakob, ogaswara or apw would probably be the people to talk to18:10
brycehPrf_Jakob, by argument do you mean adding a kernel module parameter?18:11
apwyeah if its just changing the module config that is outside the kernel anyhow18:12
brycehapw, who controls that?  slangasek's team?18:15
Sarvattbryceh: 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 kernel18:19
SarvattPrf_Jakob: how's the llvmpipe blacklist broken? seems to be ok here still http://paste.ubuntu.com/925255/18:20
Sarvattblacklisting llvmpipe from using unity is intentional18:20
Sarvattah missed the later conversation about that one, sorry18:23
Sarvattbryceh: like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/925266/18:32
brycehSarvatt, right, thanks18:43
brycehPrf_Jakob, so if it's just changing a module param, we should be able to handle that using normal final freeze bug fixing processes18:44
brycehkey thing is to just assure that wide enough testing has been done to catch potential regressions18:44
Prf_Jakobbryceh: okay, thanks18:47
Prf_JakobSarvatt: Sorry for the noise, I should have verified the bug.18:48
Prf_JakobSarvatt: Thanks, how would I go about intructing QA noobs on how to test this?18:50
