| kklimonda | hum, any idea on bug 800022? people seem to have to export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="fglrx" for va-api to work (and some applications not crashing) | 09:43 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 800022 in fglrx-installer (Ubuntu) "XvBA Hardware Acceleration doesn't work" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/800022 | 09:43 |
| kklimonda | or is it an incorrect link.. | 09:48 |
| RAOF | hyperair: No, I'm pretty sure that's not it - I talked with whot, and he said it was a known limitation in the implementation that he needs to fix :/ | 09:52 |
| hyperair | RAOF: you mean the scroll-jamming is a known implementation? | 10:14 |
| hyperair | er known limitation | 10:14 |
| hyperair | that sucks =\ | 10:14 |
| RAOF | Apparently so. | 10:14 |
| hyperair | is he around? | 10:15 |
| hyperair | i'd like to ask which value's overflowing | 10:15 |
| hyperair | perhaps we can have a hack in place to stop this from happening | 10:15 |
| RAOF | No, he's not. | 10:16 |
| RAOF | Why are gentoo users so *aggresively* ignorant when asking for help? | 10:18 |
| bryceh | RAOF, :-/ | 16:00 |
| bryceh | sadly they're that way when giving help sometimes too... | 16:00 |
| mlankhorst | Ah ignorant helpers are even worse. :( | 16:18 |
| bryceh | cnd, posted reviewed-by to the xorg-devel list for that branch. | 16:57 |
| cnd | thanks! | 16:58 |
| cnd | I'm preparing an SRU of xorg-server right now | 16:58 |
| bryceh | cnd, I didn't spot anything that directly concerns me, it looks fine. but it seems a lot of code to consider for sru'ing | 16:58 |
| cnd | yeah | 16:58 |
| cnd | they are all necessary though | 16:58 |
| cnd | they're the results of me seeing input lockups and such | 16:59 |
| bryceh | there's some changes which are just code refactors, and others (if I understand right?) enable functionality that wasn't functioning before. | 16:59 |
| bryceh | cnd, for getting it accepted into sru, if you could elaborate on those bugs it might help in getting it approved | 17:00 |
| cnd | the code refactoring changes were required for subsequent fixes | 17:00 |
| cnd | I don't remember any new functionality | 17:01 |
| cnd | but I will be sure to provide a detailed summary of the change | 17:01 |
| bryceh | cnd, it's certainly possible I just misunderstood some comments as meaning it enabled functionality that wasn't working before | 17:02 |
| bryceh | 2efbed23 "When activating an explicit grab, update owning listener" I guess was the one that I wondered about being new functionality. | 17:06 |
| bryceh | cnd, anyway, other than that, good work! hope the sru goes in smoothly. | 17:09 |
| cnd | bryceh, ahh yes | 17:09 |
| cnd | that is kinda new functionality, kinda bug fix | 17:09 |
| cnd | but without it, popup menus won't work | 17:09 |
| cnd | so if on a touchscreen you press on a gtk app menu | 17:09 |
| cnd | or in the menu bar | 17:09 |
| cnd | and you hold as the menu drops down | 17:10 |
| cnd | then you drag your finger down | 17:10 |
| cnd | without the change, the menu won't see the events | 17:10 |
| cnd | and you have to lift your finger and touch again to actually select an item | 17:10 |
| bryceh | ah, yeah that does sound like a bug fix. Was it working previously or has it just never worked? | 17:10 |
| cnd | it was working previously because another bug was shadowing it :) | 17:11 |
| cnd | whot had been telling some folks that he thought it wasn't really fixable | 17:11 |
| cnd | some of the gtk devs had asked | 17:11 |
| cnd | so it's new functionality in that it wasn't a bug that was planned to be fixed :) | 17:11 |
| bryceh | interesting | 17:11 |
| bryceh | cnd, maybe just toss a sentence in the description like "Fixes broken popup menus, where they fail to..." | 17:12 |
| cnd | yeah | 17:13 |
| bryceh | do we have a bug # open for that? if so link that in too. | 17:13 |
| bryceh | cnd, also, are all these patches together one bug fix, or do they address distinct problems? I suspect if you can break it into several SRUs they'll go through the process faster than going in as one big lump | 17:14 |
| bryceh | but maybe chat up one of the SRU admins about that, maybe it doesn't matter (or would be more work than worth) | 17:14 |
| cnd | bryceh, I'm targeting them to bug 974887 | 17:15 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 974887 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "unity 3d touch stops registering clicks" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/974887 | 17:15 |
| cnd | I plan to note each patch individually to explain why it's needed | 17:15 |
| cnd | but in the packaging it will be one big squashed patch | 17:15 |
| bryceh | cnd, ok | 17:23 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, what do you think the regression potential is for the SRU bug #968218 ? | 18:03 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 968218 in libxi (Ubuntu Oneiric) "ssh x11 forwarding precise to oneiric causes glibc malloc(): memory corruption" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/968218 | 18:03 |
| jcristau | ha, reminds me of bugs.debian.org/660411 | 18:05 |
| bryceh | jcristau, indeed, it's the same bug (and same patch). thanks for the pointer | 18:06 |
| jcristau | you're not fixing that for the older releases? | 18:06 |
| jcristau | it's still somewhere on my to-do list to fix it in squeeze... (http://bugs.debian.org/661652) | 18:09 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 661652 in release.debian.org "pu: package libxi/2:1.3-7" [Normal,Open] | 18:09 |
| bryceh | jcristau, looks like the SRU was proposed only for oneiric. but if the issue is affecting earlier releases, would certainly make sense to sru it for those as well. | 18:10 |
| jcristau | it affects squeeze so presumably also lucid | 18:11 |
| cnd | argh! | 18:29 |
| cnd | why is the escape key mapped to "delete everything I just wrote in the bug description update" | 18:30 |
| cnd | I often hit escape out of habit because I'm a vi user | 18:30 |
| cnd | and I just lost a good 20 minutes of write up | 18:30 |
| jcristau | sometimes i do that with ^w | 18:30 |
| bryceh | Sarvatt, mind doublechecking my hackjob on your patch? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libxi/+bug/968218/comments/16 | 18:36 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 968218 in libxi (Ubuntu Oneiric) "ssh x11 forwarding precise to oneiric causes glibc malloc(): memory corruption" [High,Triaged] | 18:36 |
| Sarvatt | bryceh: the upstream commit should apply directly? | 18:36 |
| jcristau | Sarvatt: not to lucid | 18:37 |
| jcristau | bryceh: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/jcristau/libxi.git;a=commitdiff;h=d33c64350c961e3b096565b30e1e98f7c9a569dc is what i had if that helps | 18:37 |
| jcristau | Sarvatt: (no touch / scroll stuff in XI 2.0) | 18:37 |
| bryceh | jcristau, thanks | 18:42 |
| cnd | bryceh, do you have a bug for the change you made to xorg-server for re-enabling patch 227? | 19:08 |
| cnd | or: how should we propose the SRU with the touch changes and that change? | 19:09 |
| bryceh | cnd, 930936 would be the bug | 19:11 |
| cnd | bryceh, how did it get disabled? | 19:14 |
| cnd | oh, it was never enabled... | 19:16 |
| cnd | d8e24bf6634b0ef80a21ac1d1b13412d88aa7800 | 19:16 |
| cnd | oops | 19:18 |
| cnd | http://paste.ubuntu.com/937318/ | 19:18 |
| cnd | bryceh, I've updated the bug report for the SRU | 19:25 |
| bryceh | cnd, ok thanks | 20:08 |
| Sarvatt | note to self: don't try cnd's crack jupiter ppa :) | 22:17 |
| cnd | Sarvatt, huh? | 22:17 |
| Sarvatt | pointer acceleration is all screwed up in 0ubuntu11~jupiter7 | 22:17 |
| cnd | really? | 22:17 |
| cnd | I just uploaded to proposed | 22:18 |
| Sarvatt | moving 1 finger from top to bottom at a steady speed, the acceleration is all over the place | 22:18 |
| cnd | so if it's broken I need to fix it | 22:18 |
| cnd | Sarvatt, what device? | 22:18 |
| Sarvatt | bcm5974, macbook air 4,2 | 22:18 |
| cnd | I don't have any issues here | 22:18 |
