mdeslauranyone have any idea how I could fix LP: #979473?00:08
mdeslaurbug 97947300:09
ubottuLaunchpad bug 979473 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "when --scale is used with xrandr, mouse doesn't move beyond original size" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97947300:09
mdeslaurah, looks like it's https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3994900:12
ubottuFreedesktop bug 39949 in Server/Ext/RandR "RandR panning & scaling don't work" [Major,New: ]00:12
brycehmdeslaur, heya00:12
mdeslaurhi bryceh00:12
brycehmdeslaur, I seem to recall this trouble started around when the pointer barriers work went in.  I don't know if there's a simple switch to turn that off, but if there is I suspect that'd be your workaround00:14
mdeslaurhrm, probably a dupe of bug 88331900:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 883319 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88331900:14
brycehmdeslaur, RAOF has been doing most of the work around that feature, and I would suggest chatting him up00:14
mdeslaurweird, I thought it was working 11.10...maybe I haven't used my netbook in a while...00:15
brycehyep, there's also a similar --panning issue00:15
brycehmdeslaur, yeah see my comments #5/600:16
mdeslaurok, I'll dupe it and I'll try the latest patch in the upstream bug. Thanks bryceh00:17
brycehmdeslaur, yep.  and please do raise with RAOF; I'm not sure if this is on his radar, but he's the go-to-guy for pointer barrier issues00:18
mdeslaurbryceh: cool00:18
mdeslaurROAF: HELP! :)00:18
mdeslaurRAOF: HELP!00:18
RAOFmdeslaur: You rang, m'lud?01:02
mdeslaurRAOF: hehe, it's regarding bug #883319...do you have a fix in sight?01:07
ubottuLaunchpad bug 883319 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/88331901:07
mdeslaurRAOF: I'm currently testing the last patch in the upstream bug for kicks01:07
RAOFThat's probably what the fix would look like.01:08
mdeslaurRAOF: ok, bryceh thought I should nag you about it :)01:08
RAOFIt's not pointer-barrier related; it's ‘don't let the pointer wander off the crtcs’ related.01:08
RAOFI can give the patch a bit of a review, though.01:09
mdeslaurRAOF: ok, just booted with the patch, and it appears to solve my issue...i'll mention it in the bug01:09
tjaaltonoh noes, can't make the desktop switcher popup go away06:10
tjaaltonmeh, it was some apport popup which stole the mouse focus06:21
cndbryceh, Sarvatt: do you know of a bug for xinput erroring out when trying to list device axes?16:16
cndI don't see any bugs against xinput16:16
cndI can file one, I just figured someone else would have beat me to it16:16
cndI have the fix in hand16:16
cndgoogle isn't finding anything either16:18
cndI guess I'll make a new one16:18
cndit's actually a bug in libxi, btw16:18
brycehthere is one bug in libxi16:43
bryceh96821816:44
brycehbut it's not about xinput erroring out, so not your issue.  Yes, file a new one16:44
brycehcnd, make sure you tag it 'precise' so it shows up on our lists16:45
cndbryceh, done, bug 98004116:47
ubottuLaunchpad bug 980041 in libxi (Ubuntu) "Button mask and labels are reported wrong, array offset of 1 element" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/98004116:47
cndit's uploaded, just waiting for approval16:48
cndI got it in right before the final freeze, hopefully :)16:48

bdmurraywhat is a better place for bug 979687?19:48
ubottuLaunchpad bug 979687 in ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "After booting i am dropped to console" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97968719:48
brycehbdmurray, hmm19:54
brycehbdmurray, stick it in nvidia-graphics-drivers, we'll figure out where it needs to go19:55
brycehsounds like it needs some upstart rule tweakage or something19:55

bjsniderhere's the problem with that bug:23:08
bjsniderNVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such device or address).23:08
bjsnideri wonder fi he installed using the nvidia-installer instead of nvidia-current23:09
Sarvattalso he's booting in 13 seconds, did the sleep 1 requirement before lightdm for nvidia to settle for faster booters ever get fixed?23:16
SarvattRAOF: any idea there?23:16
Sarvattonly asking because you were talking about finding that out last uds and might have an idea23:17

Sarvattoh there it is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/87349523:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 873495 in lightdm (Ubuntu) "LightDM fails to start when installed in OEM mode after nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates are installed" [Medium,Triaged]23:18
Sarvatti think the root of that bug is that lightdm stopped attempting 5 respawns before giving up and gives up at 1 now23:22
Sarvatterr 2 attempts23:23

Sarvattthat implies it was changed in october23:23
Sarvattit used to try respawning 6 displays but only does :0 now before dumping to failsafe23:31
brycehI need to add a retry button to failsafe-x23:36
SarvattXorg.1.log was me doing it from a VT, it definitely only tries to start once now before dumping to failsafe23:37
