[04:24] <tjaalton> shadeslayer: did you also install the linux-image-extra -package?
[04:24] <tjaalton> which has the drm drivers..
[04:24] <shadeslayer> yus
[04:25] <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
[04:26] <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
[04:27] <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! :)
[04:28] <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
[04:29] <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
[04:30] <shadeslayer> yeah
[04:32] <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
[04:33] <tjaalton> try blacklisting efifb
[04:34] <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
[04:35] <shadeslayer> should I just put it in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
[04:35] <shadeslayer> or blacklist-local.conf specifically
[04:36] <tjaalton> -local would be better, blacklist.conf is owned by module-init-tools
[04:37] <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
[04:44] <shadeslayer> iirc that was in
[04:44] <shadeslayer> and efifb doesn't help
[04:44] <shadeslayer> I get a coloured screen
[04:45] <shadeslayer> *and disabling efifb doesn't help
[04:49] <tjaalton> well, check that page for further ideas
[08:30] <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] <thumper> new code paths in compiz rendering seem to be hitting this more and more
[08:30] <tjaalton> new compiz where?
[08:31] <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..
[08:32] <thumper> anything I can do to help?
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <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
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <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
[08:37] <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
[08:38] <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
[08:39] <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?
[08:40] <thumper> Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset  
[08:40] <thumper> does that tell you?
[08:40] <tjaalton> yes
[08:41] <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 :)
[08:42] <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
[08:43] <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
[08:44] <thumper> hmm my destop no longer shows Desktop
[08:45] <thumper> tjaalton: probably have to reboot right?
[08:45] <tjaalton> yup
[08:46] <thumper> see you soon ...
[08:48] <thumper> tjaalton: nope... still there
[08:48] <thumper> tjaalton: first login causes it to freeze
[08:48] <tjaalton> duh
[08:49] <thumper> tjaalton: restarting was ok briefly
[08:49] <tjaalton> hmm, seems to work here
[08:49] <thumper> tjaalton: then compiz crashed...
[08:50] <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
[08:57] <tjaalton> ok let me upgrade my old laptop which should have the same generation chip on it..
[08:57] <tjaalton> 965GM but still
[08:58] <thumper> ok
[09:45] <tjaalton> thumper: seems to work fine on the other laptop too :/
[09:53] <thumper> :(
