bandit5432304.30-0ubuntu1~xedgers~precise1 only showing the color blue when playing games01:05
bandit5432and the nvidia forums would be down becuas of hacking01:08
mlankhorsthm I'm pretty sure I had a dream RE'ing nouveau..06:08
tjaaltonyou'd end up having the blob? :)06:12
cousin_luigiGreetings.06:52
cousin_luigiDoes the current nvidia-graphics-drivers contain the privilege escalation bug?06:52
jcristauyes06:55
cousin_luigiOh, so it would be pointless to add the x-swat repository just to address that?:/06:57
jcristauunless you're switching to nouveau at the same time..06:59
cousin_luigi:|07:04
cousin_luiginouveau is horribly slow07:04
cousin_luigithanks, bbl07:13
LLStarkscan i add this to the hybrid graphics spec since the necessary x bits are starting to land?07:31
LLStarkshttp://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/prime-notes.txt07:31
tjaaltonthere, all relevant drivers uploaded to quantal-proposed08:17
tjaaltonshould make {input,video}-all installable08:17
tjaaltondidn't care about the rest, might be time to banish them from the archive too :P08:20
tjaaltonmlankhorst: i guess there's no need to update xorg for -proposed?08:31
tjaaltonanything else missing?08:31
mlankhorsterm libxrandr needs updating to build with the 1.4.0 bump08:32
mlankhorstbut nearly done with i915 for now, I got it to hang by removing the part where I signal fence completion :)08:33
tjaaltonok08:33
mlankhorstwhich means that the code actually does block like it should and wait for completion08:33
tjaaltoni'll have some lunch soon, after that will upgrade my other laptop to see it's still working with -proposed08:34
mlankhorsthehe09:12
mlankhorstI should as well when it works09:13
mlankhorstironically you're just in time09:13
mlankhorsthttp://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mlankhorst/linux/log/09:13
mlankhorstkernel side: done-ish09:13
tjaaltonif llstarks comes back, the url can be added to the blueprint imo, with a note that most of it is already in released modules09:17
tjaaltonbut now, lunch ->09:17
mlankhorstas soon as libdrm comes along, just need to pull my git tree + other drivers for prime updates09:18
seb128tjaalton, "  * Sync from unreleased debian git."09:25
seb128tjaalton, you should use -0build1 in those case rather than -0ubuntu109:25
seb128tjaalton, so they are auto-syncable next cycle, if they really are in a syncable state09:25
mlankhorstseb128: doesn't matter much, whole xorg usually needs to be manually updated09:27
tjaaltonseb128: good point, didn't think of that. i'll probably be the one syncing them so no harm done :)11:13
mlankhorsttjaalton: can i see somewhere how the build status is going?11:17
tjaaltonmlankhorst: should be all built11:18
tjaaltonvmware got built immediately, and it was the last one11:19
mlankhorstah perfect11:19
mlankhorsttime to run the rename script again then11:19
tjaaltondoes it only rename the drivers that *-all depend on?11:20
mlankhorstI have no idea, think it had a few more11:20
mlankhorstbut we'll see11:20
mlankhorsttoo tempting to see if I can put up my own kernel somewhere with all the changes I was using..11:44
tjaaltonmlankhorst: duh, forgot vmmouse13:26
tjaaltonand geode13:26
mlankhorstgeode :D13:27
tjaaltonindeed13:29
cweiskeHi. I've read that dmx has been included in X.org a while ago. is it still necessary to install xdmx then?13:31
jcristauif you want to use Xdmx you need the xdmx package..13:32
cweiskebut isn't dmx and xdmx the same? giving me the ability to add remote displays to the currently running server?13:36
jcristaui don't know what you read13:37
tjaaltonbryceh: in retrospect, you probably could've kept the patch from -0u10.4 when dropped the other ones :)14:19
tjaaltonanyway, easy to re-enable14:20
tjaaltonok, finally upgrading to the proposed stack14:35
tjaaltonlightdm starts, ship it!14:53
tjaaltonX.Org X Server 1.12.99.902 (1.13.0 RC 2)14:53
mlankhorstawesome14:56
tjaaltonon intel anyway14:56
tjaaltonX.Org X Server 1.12.99.902 (1.13.0 RC 2)14:57
tjaaltonoops14:58
cousin_luigiGreetings.18:06
cousin_luigiIs there a ppa for the nvidia beta (304.xx) driver? 18:07
Sarvattcousin_luigi: ya can grab it here https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/nvidia18:09
cousin_luigiSarvatt: Thanks, man!18:09
cousin_luigiSarvatt: Do you happen to know if the privilege escalation bug has been addressed in that release?18:10
Sarvattno it hasn't, that was released after the driver was18:10
mdeslaurcousin_luigi: there is no fix for that yet18:10
cousin_luigiSarvatt: I see, so it's not worth bother trying:/18:10
cousin_luigimdeslaur: Just how severe is it? Can it be triggered by a specially crafted image loaded in a browser for example?18:11
cousin_luigiI could live with it if it was only local.18:12
mdeslaurcousin_luigi: no, it's a local privilege escalation...a non-root user can become root18:12
jcristaujust need a browser arbitrary code execution bug to make it remote18:13
cousin_luigimdeslaur: Yes, I tried the sample code snippet.18:13
cousin_luigijcristau: And would you consider such a possibility to be remote?18:14
mdeslaurjcristau: sure, but if you have a browser arbitrary code execution bug, it doesn't need the nvidia bug to become root...it just needs to be patient :)18:14
jcristaumdeslaur: true18:14
cousin_luigiAm I being paranoid for using nouveau because of it then?18:14
jcristaucousin_luigi: there's some of those every month or so18:14
mdeslaurcousin_luigi: are there other users on your machine besides yourself?18:14
cousin_luigimdeslaur: No.18:15
mdeslaurcousin_luigi: then yes, your are slightly paranoid :P18:15
cousin_luigijcristau: oh...18:17
cousin_luigijcristau: How come this one was published so widely?18:17
mdeslaurjcristau: hrm? some of what every month?18:18
jcristaucode exec bugs in firefox18:18
cousin_luigioh right18:18
mdeslauroh, yes, in firefox sure18:18
cousin_luigiisn't it the official browser, still?:)18:19
jcristauthough probably not so many with a public exploit18:19
mdeslaurcousin_luigi: as opposed to what? chromium that has as many?18:19
jcristaucousin_luigi: it's no different with other browsers18:19
cousin_luigimdeslaur: Sure, I couldn't understand the tenour of your answer.18:20
mdeslauroh, hehe18:20
mdeslaurdidn't mean to imply that firefox was any different that any other browser18:20
cousin_luigiAny hints that nvidia will address the problem anytime soon? nouveau causes tearing for me:/18:21
jcristauyou should probably either stop being paranoid or get used to the tearing18:22
cousin_luigiThe latter would probably be easier;)18:23
cousin_luigiWell, thanks everyone.18:35
cousin_luigibbl18:35
tjaaltonmlankhorst, bryceh: I'm sending a note about the -proposed stack to -devel/-x19:47
brycehtjaalton, ok19:54
tjaaltonbryceh: so I'll add that it'll get to quantal after some more testing and possibly some updates19:58
tjaaltonalso, not updating the obsolete drivers which are candidates for removal from the archive19:58
brycehhmm, if we drop drivers in quantal I suppose we'll have to be careful about dropping them in the lts backport19:59
tjaaltonthat's automatic20:00
tjaaltonthey won't build20:00
tjaaltonadded notes on package_status.html20:00
tjaaltonso they're really old, such that -video-all dropped for 11.1020:01
