[00:08] anyone have any idea how I could fix LP: #979473? [00:09] bug 979473 [00:09] Launchpad 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/979473 [00:12] ah, looks like it's https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39949 [00:12] Freedesktop bug 39949 in Server/Ext/RandR "RandR panning & scaling don't work" [Major,New: ] [00:12] mdeslaur, heya [00:12] hi bryceh [00:14] mdeslaur, 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 workaround [00:14] hrm, probably a dupe of bug 883319 [00:14] Launchpad bug 883319 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/883319 [00:14] mdeslaur, RAOF has been doing most of the work around that feature, and I would suggest chatting him up [00:15] weird, I thought it was working 11.10...maybe I haven't used my netbook in a while... [00:15] yep, there's also a similar --panning issue [00:16] mdeslaur, yeah see my comments #5/6 [00:17] ok, I'll dupe it and I'll try the latest patch in the upstream bug. Thanks bryceh [00:18] mdeslaur, 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 issues [00:18] bryceh: cool [00:18] ROAF: HELP! :) [00:18] RAOF: HELP! [01:02] mdeslaur: You rang, m'lud? [01:07] RAOF: hehe, it's regarding bug #883319...do you have a fix in sight? [01:07] Launchpad bug 883319 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "xrandr --scale restricts area in which mouse moves" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/883319 [01:07] RAOF: I'm currently testing the last patch in the upstream bug for kicks [01:08] That's probably what the fix would look like. [01:08] RAOF: ok, bryceh thought I should nag you about it :) [01:08] It's not pointer-barrier related; it's ‘don't let the pointer wander off the crtcs’ related. [01:09] I can give the patch a bit of a review, though. [01:09] RAOF: ok, just booted with the patch, and it appears to solve my issue...i'll mention it in the bug [06:10] oh noes, can't make the desktop switcher popup go away [06:21] meh, it was some apport popup which stole the mouse focus [16:16] bryceh, Sarvatt: do you know of a bug for xinput erroring out when trying to list device axes? [16:16] I don't see any bugs against xinput [16:16] I can file one, I just figured someone else would have beat me to it [16:16] I have the fix in hand [16:18] google isn't finding anything either [16:18] I guess I'll make a new one [16:18] it's actually a bug in libxi, btw [16:43] there is one bug in libxi [16:44] 968218 [16:44] but it's not about xinput erroring out, so not your issue. Yes, file a new one [16:45] cnd, make sure you tag it 'precise' so it shows up on our lists [16:47] bryceh, done, bug 980041 [16:47] Launchpad bug 980041 in libxi (Ubuntu) "Button mask and labels are reported wrong, array offset of 1 element" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/980041 [16:48] it's uploaded, just waiting for approval [16:48] I got it in right before the final freeze, hopefully :) [16:49] ok [19:48] what is a better place for bug 979687? [19:48] Launchpad bug 979687 in ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu) "After booting i am dropped to console" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/979687 [19:54] bdmurray, hmm [19:55] bdmurray, stick it in nvidia-graphics-drivers, we'll figure out where it needs to go [19:55] sounds like it needs some upstart rule tweakage or something === himcesjf|py is now known as himcesjf === yofel_ is now known as yofel [23:08] here's the problem with that bug: [23:08] NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (No such device or address). [23:09] i wonder fi he installed using the nvidia-installer instead of nvidia-current [23:16] also 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] RAOF: any idea there? [23:17] only asking because you were talking about finding that out last uds and might have an idea [23:17] s/uds/sprint/ [23:18] oh there it is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/873495 [23:18] Launchpad 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] [23:22] i think the root of that bug is that lightdm stopped attempting 5 respawns before giving up and gives up at 1 now [23:23] err 2 attempts [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 35K Apr 12 17:38 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 46K Apr 12 14:46 /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11K Mar 2 16:28 /var/log/Xorg.1.log [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11K Mar 2 16:27 /var/log/Xorg.1.log.old [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14K Oct 21 14:30 /var/log/Xorg.2.log [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.9K Jul 26 2011 /var/log/Xorg.2.log.old [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14K Oct 21 14:30 /var/log/Xorg.3.log [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.9K Jul 26 2011 /var/log/Xorg.3.log.old [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14K Oct 21 14:30 /var/log/Xorg.4.log [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.9K Jul 26 2011 /var/log/Xorg.4.log.old [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14K Oct 21 14:30 /var/log/Xorg.5.log [23:23] -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.9K Jul 26 2011 /var/log/Xorg.5.log.old [23:23] that implies it was changed in october [23:31] it used to try respawning 6 displays but only does :0 now before dumping to failsafe [23:36] I need to add a retry button to failsafe-x [23:37] Xorg.1.log was me doing it from a VT, it definitely only tries to start once now before dumping to failsafe
