[04:03] <RAOF> Darxus: Hey, could I get you to check a grub-gfxpayload-lists upload to fix your splash madness?
[09:13] <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 :)
[09:14] <seb128> tjaalton, sure
[09:14] <tjaalton> or should I push it to the bzr branch? dunno if I can
[09:16] <seb128> tjaalton, do you have a upload rights for g-s-d?
[09:16] <tjaalton> seb128: yes
[09:16] <tjaalton> core dev
[09:17] <tjaalton> hmm i thought the bzr branches were owned by ~ubuntu-desktop
[09:21] <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
[09:22] <tjaalton> seb128: ok, will do
[09:25] <seb128> tjaalton, thanks
[12:52] <Prf_Jakob> Sarvatt, bryceh: Somebody broken the llvmpipe blacklist in Unity.
[13:09] <Darxus> RAOF: Just woke up, about to test.
[13:24] <Darxus> RAOF: Confirmed it works, updating bug.
[13:35] <mdeslaur> bryceh, tseliot: FYI, I am going to publish the driver security update for the stable releases in a few minutes
[13:36] <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
[13:37] <mdeslaur> tseliot: thanks. Do you want my debdiffs for the older drivers?
[13:38] <tseliot> mdeslaur: only for the ones in oneiric, if possible, thanks
[13:41] <mdeslaur> tseliot: ok, sent via email
[13:41] <tseliot> mdeslaur: thanks

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

[17:16] <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! :)
[17:30] <Prf_Jakob> bryceh: I just started the legacy driver by disabling vmwgfx.ko, and it looked like it used llvmpipe.
[17:32] <Prf_Jakob> Hmm I'm not getting llvmpipe when I just disabled 3D.
[17:35] <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?
[17:36] <Prf_Jakob> As I asked before.
[17:36] <Prf_Jakob> BBL dinner.
[17:44] <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)
[17:54] <Prf_Jakob> bryceh: ah, its just a argument addition.
[17:54] <Prf_Jakob> Is it even possible to do that?
[17:55] <Prf_Jakob> I'm gussing modprobe is involved.
[18:10] <bryceh> Prf_Jakob, ogaswara or apw would probably be the people to talk to
[18:11] <bryceh> Prf_Jakob, by argument do you mean adding a kernel module parameter?
[18:12] <apw> yeah if its just changing the module config that is outside the kernel anyhow
[18:15] <bryceh> apw, who controls that?  slangasek's team?
[18:19] <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
[18:20] <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
[18:23] <Sarvatt> ah missed the later conversation about that one, sorry
[18:32] <Sarvatt> bryceh: like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/925266/
[18:43] <bryceh> Sarvatt, right, thanks
[18:44] <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
[18:47] <Prf_Jakob> bryceh: okay, thanks
[18:48] <Prf_Jakob> Sarvatt: Sorry for the noise, I should have verified the bug.
[18:50] <Prf_Jakob> Sarvatt: Thanks, how would I go about intructing QA noobs on how to test this?
