| tjaalton | tseliot: should fglrx get removed on upgrade to 12.10 if the hw isn't supported anymore? | 09:02 |
|---|---|---|
| tseliot | tjaalton: I don't think we have some code that does that | 09:02 |
| tjaalton | that's.. critical | 09:03 |
| tjaalton | a friend just hit it | 09:03 |
| tjaalton | they get a broken desktop then | 09:03 |
| tjaalton | no unity | 09:03 |
| tseliot | :/ | 09:07 |
| tseliot | tjaalton: it's something that update-manager should do | 09:08 |
| tseliot | mvo: ^ | 09:08 |
| tjaalton | right, not possible to do it in the package itself | 09:10 |
| mvo | tjaalton: could you please mail me the logs of this upgrade? if fglrx is remove it should automatically revert to the ati driver (same for nvidia) | 09:22 |
| mvo | i mean, there is code for that | 09:22 |
| tjaalton | ok | 09:22 |
| tjaalton | mvo: I'll ask him to provide them, in case he actually did use u-m and not apt-get | 09:23 |
| mvo | tjaalton: please do, there is a xorg_fix_proprietary.py file in the release upgraer that will also write a log, so everything from /var/log/dist-upgrade/* will be useful | 09:24 |
| tjaalton | mvo: ok that's a relief :) | 09:24 |
| tjaalton | since it's not the first time hw support has been removed from a driver | 09:25 |
| mvo | tjaalton: well, sort of - if it works :) if ther eis a bug … | 09:25 |
| tjaalton | I guess we'd have a lot of bugs, which doesn't seem to be the case | 09:25 |
| mvo | tjaalton: meeeh, hold on a sec, so the flglrx driver is still installed but the driver simply dropped support? | 09:25 |
| tjaalton | mvo: that's my guess, he's not at the machine right now, but said it has some radeon on it | 09:26 |
| tjaalton | installed 12.04 last week, maybe installed the blob too since it's suggested.. | 09:26 |
| mvo | tjaalton: ok, let me double check the code | 09:26 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| mvo | tjaalton: I think we will need this: https://code.launchpad.net/~mvo/ubuntu-release-upgrader/warn-on-dropped-fglrx-support | 09:45 |
| mvo | tjaalton: would be great to get a proper bugreport and maybe your friend can help with the real-word verification? | 09:45 |
| tjaalton | mvo: sure, I'll ask | 09:46 |
| tjaalton | he's a power user, but max/solaris mostly :) | 09:47 |
| tjaalton | mac even | 09:47 |
| mvo | tjaalton: cool, once there is a bugreport, please link to this branch and we can do a SRU | 09:49 |
| tjaalton | ok, thanks | 09:49 |
| cheshair | hi! i have problems with my nvidia gt520 and ubuntu 12.10. can you give me any tips? | 10:24 |
| cheshair | i found this: http://www.upubuntu.com/2012/10/install-nvidia-driver-30460-in-ubuntu.html | 10:33 |
| cheshair | do you think it is a good way to have nvidia working on my new 12.10? | 10:34 |
| mlankhorst | mvo: ping ;) | 11:33 |
| mvo | mlankhorst: hi, sorry, just setting up a chroot now to test - what ppa do need to use to get xserver-server-lts-quantal | 12:31 |
| mlankhorst | ubuntu-x-swat/q-lts-backport | 12:32 |
| mvo | thanks | 12:32 |
| mlankhorst | i have ia32-libs package + wine1.5 from ubuntu-wine/ppa installed | 12:35 |
| mlankhorst | then apt-get install xserver-xorg-lts-quantal libgl1-mesa-{glx,dri}-lts-quantal{,:i386} should probably be enough to trigger it | 12:35 |
| mlankhorst | i guess as long as you have the unrenamed 32-bits packages first its enough | 12:36 |
| mvo | ok | 12:39 |
| mvo | mlankhorst: as you probably noticed I can reprdoce the issue which is a good step forward | 14:21 |
| tjaalton | woohoo, bug 1067872 was invalid after all :) | 16:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1067872 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) "Updating to xserver-xorg-video-intel Version: 2:2.17.0-1ubuntu4.2 busts X" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1067872 | 16:21 |
| twoxyo | Hi | 16:24 |
| twoxyo | Do you plan to build x-updates/nvidia-current for quantal ? | 16:25 |
| twoxyo | because when i try to install the precise version, i have unmeet dependency (xorg-video-abi-11) | 16:26 |
| bjsnider | it should be added to quantal very soon | 16:32 |
