[01:05] <bandit5432> 304.30-0ubuntu1~xedgers~precise1 only showing the color blue when playing games
[01:08] <bandit5432> and the nvidia forums would be down becuas of hacking
[06:08] <mlankhorst> hm I'm pretty sure I had a dream RE'ing nouveau..
[06:12] <tjaalton> you'd end up having the blob? :)
[06:52] <cousin_luigi> Greetings.
[06:52] <cousin_luigi> Does the current nvidia-graphics-drivers contain the privilege escalation bug?
[06:55] <jcristau> yes
[06:57] <cousin_luigi> Oh, so it would be pointless to add the x-swat repository just to address that?:/
[06:59] <jcristau> unless you're switching to nouveau at the same time..
[07:04] <cousin_luigi> :|
[07:04] <cousin_luigi> nouveau is horribly slow
[07:13] <cousin_luigi> thanks, bbl
[07:31] <LLStarks> can i add this to the hybrid graphics spec since the necessary x bits are starting to land?
[07:31] <LLStarks> http://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/prime-notes.txt
[08:17] <tjaalton> there, all relevant drivers uploaded to quantal-proposed
[08:17] <tjaalton> should make {input,video}-all installable
[08:20] <tjaalton> didn't care about the rest, might be time to banish them from the archive too :P
[08:31] <tjaalton> mlankhorst: i guess there's no need to update xorg for -proposed?
[08:31] <tjaalton> anything else missing?
[08:32] <mlankhorst> erm libxrandr needs updating to build with the 1.4.0 bump
[08:33] <mlankhorst> but nearly done with i915 for now, I got it to hang by removing the part where I signal fence completion :)
[08:33] <tjaalton> ok
[08:33] <mlankhorst> which means that the code actually does block like it should and wait for completion
[08:34] <tjaalton> i'll have some lunch soon, after that will upgrade my other laptop to see it's still working with -proposed
[09:12] <mlankhorst> hehe
[09:13] <mlankhorst> I should as well when it works
[09:13] <mlankhorst> ironically you're just in time
[09:13] <mlankhorst> http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~mlankhorst/linux/log/
[09:13] <mlankhorst> kernel side: done-ish
[09:17] <tjaalton> if llstarks comes back, the url can be added to the blueprint imo, with a note that most of it is already in released modules
[09:17] <tjaalton> but now, lunch ->
[09:18] <mlankhorst> as soon as libdrm comes along, just need to pull my git tree + other drivers for prime updates
[09:25] <seb128> tjaalton, "  * Sync from unreleased debian git."
[09:25] <seb128> tjaalton, you should use -0build1 in those case rather than -0ubuntu1
[09:25] <seb128> tjaalton, so they are auto-syncable next cycle, if they really are in a syncable state
[09:27] <mlankhorst> seb128: doesn't matter much, whole xorg usually needs to be manually updated
[11:13] <tjaalton> seb128: good point, didn't think of that. i'll probably be the one syncing them so no harm done :)
[11:17] <mlankhorst> tjaalton: can i see somewhere how the build status is going?
[11:18] <tjaalton> mlankhorst: should be all built
[11:19] <tjaalton> vmware got built immediately, and it was the last one
[11:19] <mlankhorst> ah perfect
[11:19] <mlankhorst> time to run the rename script again then
[11:20] <tjaalton> does it only rename the drivers that *-all depend on?
[11:20] <mlankhorst> I have no idea, think it had a few more
[11:20] <mlankhorst> but we'll see
[11:44] <mlankhorst> too tempting to see if I can put up my own kernel somewhere with all the changes I was using..
[13:26] <tjaalton> mlankhorst: duh, forgot vmmouse
[13:26] <tjaalton> and geode
[13:27] <mlankhorst> geode :D
[13:29] <tjaalton> indeed
[13:31] <cweiske> Hi. I've read that dmx has been included in X.org a while ago. is it still necessary to install xdmx then?
[13:32] <jcristau> if you want to use Xdmx you need the xdmx package..
[13:36] <cweiske> but isn't dmx and xdmx the same? giving me the ability to add remote displays to the currently running server?
[13:37] <jcristau> i don't know what you read
[14:19] <tjaalton> bryceh: in retrospect, you probably could've kept the patch from -0u10.4 when dropped the other ones :)
[14:20] <tjaalton> anyway, easy to re-enable
[14:35] <tjaalton> ok, finally upgrading to the proposed stack
[14:53] <tjaalton> lightdm starts, ship it!
[14:53] <tjaalton> X.Org X Server 1.12.99.902 (1.13.0 RC 2)
[14:56] <mlankhorst> awesome
[14:56] <tjaalton> on intel anyway
[14:57] <tjaalton> X.Org X Server 1.12.99.902 (1.13.0 RC 2)
[14:58] <tjaalton> oops
[18:06] <cousin_luigi> Greetings.
[18:07] <cousin_luigi> Is there a ppa for the nvidia beta (304.xx) driver? 
[18:09] <Sarvatt> cousin_luigi: ya can grab it here https://launchpad.net/~sarvatt/+archive/nvidia
[18:09] <cousin_luigi> Sarvatt: Thanks, man!
[18:10] <cousin_luigi> Sarvatt: Do you happen to know if the privilege escalation bug has been addressed in that release?
[18:10] <Sarvatt> no it hasn't, that was released after the driver was
[18:10] <mdeslaur> cousin_luigi: there is no fix for that yet
[18:10] <cousin_luigi> Sarvatt: I see, so it's not worth bother trying:/
[18:11] <cousin_luigi> mdeslaur: Just how severe is it? Can it be triggered by a specially crafted image loaded in a browser for example?
[18:12] <cousin_luigi> I could live with it if it was only local.
[18:12] <mdeslaur> cousin_luigi: no, it's a local privilege escalation...a non-root user can become root
[18:13] <jcristau> just need a browser arbitrary code execution bug to make it remote
[18:13] <cousin_luigi> mdeslaur: Yes, I tried the sample code snippet.
[18:14] <cousin_luigi> jcristau: And would you consider such a possibility to be remote?
[18:14] <mdeslaur> jcristau: 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] <jcristau> mdeslaur: true
[18:14] <cousin_luigi> Am I being paranoid for using nouveau because of it then?
[18:14] <jcristau> cousin_luigi: there's some of those every month or so
[18:14] <mdeslaur> cousin_luigi: are there other users on your machine besides yourself?
[18:15] <cousin_luigi> mdeslaur: No.
[18:15] <mdeslaur> cousin_luigi: then yes, your are slightly paranoid :P
[18:17] <cousin_luigi> jcristau: oh...
[18:17] <cousin_luigi> jcristau: How come this one was published so widely?
[18:18] <mdeslaur> jcristau: hrm? some of what every month?
[18:18] <jcristau> code exec bugs in firefox
[18:18] <cousin_luigi> oh right
[18:18] <mdeslaur> oh, yes, in firefox sure
[18:19] <cousin_luigi> isn't it the official browser, still?:)
[18:19] <jcristau> though probably not so many with a public exploit
[18:19] <mdeslaur> cousin_luigi: as opposed to what? chromium that has as many?
[18:19] <jcristau> cousin_luigi: it's no different with other browsers
[18:20] <cousin_luigi> mdeslaur: Sure, I couldn't understand the tenour of your answer.
[18:20] <mdeslaur> oh, hehe
[18:20] <mdeslaur> didn't mean to imply that firefox was any different that any other browser
[18:21] <cousin_luigi> Any hints that nvidia will address the problem anytime soon? nouveau causes tearing for me:/
[18:22] <jcristau> you should probably either stop being paranoid or get used to the tearing
[18:23] <cousin_luigi> The latter would probably be easier;)
[18:35] <cousin_luigi> Well, thanks everyone.
[18:35] <cousin_luigi> bbl
[19:47] <tjaalton> mlankhorst, bryceh: I'm sending a note about the -proposed stack to -devel/-x
[19:54] <bryceh> tjaalton, ok
[19:58] <tjaalton> bryceh: so I'll add that it'll get to quantal after some more testing and possibly some updates
[19:58] <tjaalton> also, not updating the obsolete drivers which are candidates for removal from the archive
[19:59] <bryceh> hmm, if we drop drivers in quantal I suppose we'll have to be careful about dropping them in the lts backport
[20:00] <tjaalton> that's automatic
[20:00] <tjaalton> they won't build
[20:00] <tjaalton> added notes on package_status.html
[20:01] <tjaalton> so they're really old, such that -video-all dropped for 11.10
[20:08] <bryceh> ok
[20:16] <tjaalton> sent
[20:16] <mlankhorst> hey
[20:21] <bryceh> bbl
