| tjaalton | shadeslayer: did you also install the linux-image-extra -package? | 04:24 |
|---|---|---|
| tjaalton | which has the drm drivers.. | 04:24 |
| shadeslayer | yus | 04:24 |
| tjaalton | ok | 04:25 |
| tjaalton | time to chat with #intel-gfx then i guess | 04:25 |
| shadeslayer | I *think* dmesg saves the logs of previous boots as dmesg.n.gz | 04:25 |
| tjaalton | it sholud | 04:25 |
| tjaalton | *should | 04:25 |
| shadeslayer | so I gunzipped the last couple of logs and they were empty | 04:25 |
| tjaalton | could you try a livecd? | 04:26 |
| shadeslayer | already did :) | 04:26 |
| tjaalton | to rule out a funky install | 04:26 |
| tjaalton | k | 04:26 |
| shadeslayer | needs nomodeset as well | 04:26 |
| shadeslayer | I think I've pretty much tried out everything :D | 04:26 |
| tjaalton | well, maybe efi is playing tricks here | 04:27 |
| shadeslayer | could be | 04:27 |
| shadeslayer | tjaalton: ok so one thing that I don't understand | 04:27 |
| tjaalton | is this the latest revision of mbpro? | 04:27 |
| shadeslayer | nope | 04:27 |
| shadeslayer | 8,2 | 04:27 |
| tjaalton | i'd expect that to work | 04:27 |
| tjaalton | try fedora17! :) | 04:27 |
| shadeslayer | CONFIG_DRM_I915=m | 04:28 |
| shadeslayer | CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS=y | 04:28 |
| shadeslayer | tjaalton: tried already :P | 04:28 |
| shadeslayer | doesn't boot *at all* | 04:28 |
| tjaalton | kms built into the drm driver | 04:28 |
| shadeslayer | https://twitter.com/rohangarg/status/236890703375003648 | 04:28 |
| tjaalton | right, mjg59 should know this stuff | 04:29 |
| shadeslayer | exactly, he said that it's most likely a bug ( as you can see from the conversation we had ) | 04:29 |
| tjaalton | since he has worked with macbooks | 04:29 |
| shadeslayer | yeah | 04:30 |
| shadeslayer | earlier, if I didn't provide a xorg.conf it used to say VBIOS out of memory | 04:32 |
| shadeslayer | or was it trying to address out of bounds memory ... can't remember | 04:32 |
| tjaalton | try blacklisting efifb | 04:33 |
| shadeslayer | for my current issues? | 04:34 |
| tjaalton | yes | 04:34 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 04:34 |
| tjaalton | echo "blacklist efifb" >> /etc/blacklist-local.conf | 04:34 |
| tjaalton | or such | 04:34 |
| shadeslayer | ofcourse | 04:34 |
| tjaalton | then boot without nomodeset | 04:34 |
| shadeslayer | should I just put it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | 04:35 |
| shadeslayer | or blacklist-local.conf specifically | 04:35 |
| tjaalton | -local would be better, blacklist.conf is owned by module-init-tools | 04:36 |
| shadeslayer | rebooting | 04:37 |
| tjaalton | "the i915 driver requires a patch activating dual LVDS channels, otherwise it will show nothing but a black screen;" | 04:37 |
| tjaalton | huh | 04:37 |
| tjaalton | http://dentifrice.poivron.org/laptops/macbookpro8,2/ | 04:37 |
| tjaalton | would assume that's in the kernel by now | 04:37 |
| shadeslayer | iirc that was in | 04:44 |
| shadeslayer | and efifb doesn't help | 04:44 |
| shadeslayer | I get a coloured screen | 04:44 |
| shadeslayer | *and disabling efifb doesn't help | 04:45 |
| tjaalton | well, check that page for further ideas | 04:49 |

| thumper | hello magic X people | 08:30 |
| thumper | with the new compiz, I keep hitting this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/966744 | 08:30 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 966744 in compiz (Ubuntu Quantal) "[i965] Resume from suspend leaves me with black screen or a screen of the desktop before it suspended. Compiz hung in intel_update_renderbuffers() from intel_prepare_render() from brw_draw_prims()" [Critical,Triaged] | 08:30 |
| thumper | new code paths in compiz rendering seem to be hitting this more and more | 08:30 |
| tjaalton | new compiz where? | 08:30 |
| thumper | I'm using the unity-team staging ppa | 08:31 |
| tjaalton | precise or quantal | 08:31 |
| thumper | it is the one we want to release into quantal | 08:31 |
| thumper | OpenGL/ES work | 08:31 |
| tjaalton | yes, would be nice to get it fixed.. | 08:31 |
| thumper | anything I can do to help? | 08:32 |
| tjaalton | if you're seeing it in quantal, then it's not fixed yet | 08:33 |
| thumper | no... | 08:33 |
| thumper | no it's not | 08:33 |
| tjaalton | there were people seeing it fixed in quantal | 08:33 |
| thumper | hmm... | 08:34 |
| tjaalton | actually, xorg-edgers but they aren't that different | 08:34 |
| thumper | my symptoms are a little different but I'm told the stack trace is the same | 08:34 |
| tjaalton | told by who? | 08:34 |
| thumper | duflu (compiz dude) | 08:34 |
| tjaalton | ok | 08:34 |
| thumper | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/1173379/ | 08:35 |
| thumper | that is from the hang I got in compiz | 08:35 |
| thumper | htop showed 100% cpu usage on one core | 08:35 |
| thumper | but no item had any cpu usage | 08:35 |
| thumper | perhaps kernel | 08:35 |
| tjaalton | yeah | 08:35 |
| tjaalton | can you reproduce it at will? | 08:36 |
| thumper | pretty much every time I log in | 08:36 |
| tjaalton | huh, ok | 08:36 |
| thumper | I have to switch to a vt and restart compiz | 08:36 |
| tjaalton | then perhaps try a newer mainline kernel from the mainline ppa? | 08:36 |
| tjaalton | but that doesn't help? | 08:36 |
| tjaalton | restarting | 08:36 |
| thumper | actually no, restarting compiz would get it to hang in the same place | 08:37 |
| thumper | I had to restart light-dm | 08:37 |
| tjaalton | right | 08:37 |
| tjaalton | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.6-rc3-quantal/ | 08:37 |
| tjaalton | get linux-image and -extra | 08:37 |
| tjaalton | which ppa is it, I can give it a go | 08:38 |
| thumper | ppa:unity-team/staging | 08:38 |
| thumper | you'll be one the bleeding edge with compiz/unity | 08:38 |
| thumper | tjaalton: shall I install the linux-image and -extra? | 08:39 |
| thumper | I'm downloading them now | 08:39 |
| tjaalton | thumper: yeah please | 08:39 |
| thumper | ok | 08:39 |
| tjaalton | which intel hw gen is it? | 08:39 |
| thumper | Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset | 08:40 |
| thumper | does that tell you? | 08:40 |
| tjaalton | yes | 08:40 |
| tjaalton | i've got gen6 (sandybridge) ready for testing.. | 08:41 |
| tjaalton | but the original bug is seen on that too, so probably doesn't matter which gen it is | 08:41 |
| thumper | my ivybridge laptop lands in the country tomorrow | 08:41 |
| thumper | biggest/fastest I could find | 08:41 |
| tjaalton | nice | 08:41 |
| thumper | system76 | 08:41 |
| tjaalton | ouch :) | 08:41 |
| thumper | maxed out gazelle pro | 08:42 |
| thumper | stopped at 480gig ssd | 08:42 |
| tjaalton | nah, i'm just a thinkpad junkie, so been spoiled by t420s for a year now | 08:42 |
| thumper | as the 600 was sataII not sata III | 08:42 |
| thumper | I can't stand the damn red nipples | 08:42 |
| thumper | would drive me spare just to know it was there | 08:42 |
| tjaalton | the best feature they have :) | 08:42 |
| * thumper hates them | 08:42 | |
| thumper | ok, debs downloaded | 08:43 |
| tjaalton | i hate touchpads, then again this is the first laptop for me that has one | 08:43 |
| * thumper wonders where chromium put them | 08:43 | |
| thumper | hmm my destop no longer shows Desktop | 08:44 |
| thumper | tjaalton: probably have to reboot right? | 08:45 |
| tjaalton | yup | 08:45 |
| thumper | see you soon ... | 08:46 |
| thumper | tjaalton: nope... still there | 08:48 |
| thumper | tjaalton: first login causes it to freeze | 08:48 |
| tjaalton | duh | 08:48 |
| thumper | tjaalton: restarting was ok briefly | 08:49 |
| tjaalton | hmm, seems to work here | 08:49 |
| thumper | tjaalton: then compiz crashed... | 08:49 |
| thumper | kernel was at 100% cpu again | 08:50 |
| thumper | seems to have settled again for a while | 08:50 |
| tjaalton | so could be related to the older generation after all | 08:50 |
| tjaalton | ok let me upgrade my old laptop which should have the same generation chip on it.. | 08:57 |
| tjaalton | 965GM but still | 08:57 |
| thumper | ok | 08:58 |
| tjaalton | thumper: seems to work fine on the other laptop too :/ | 09:45 |
| thumper | :( | 09:53 |
