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