brittricotz: I was quickly just wondering if the latest version of fglrx was going to make it into raring07:56
brittit isn't specifically about the package, but moreso about how it is decided when to pull in a newer version07:57
ricotzbritt, tseliot is taking care of that, but he isnt around currently07:57
britti gotcha07:57
brittwell that's ok, I just noticed that your name was taged on the package so I thought I'd ask07:58
brittI was just confused on why fglrx-updates in the stable repo never seems to get updated past the standard fglrx package07:58
brittI'll wait to see if I can snag him for a question or just send him an email though07:59
brittthank you for your time though :-)08:00
ricotzyeah ask him, or maybe bryce wants to present the fglrx master plan ;)08:00
mlankhorstguten tag09:10
apwmlankhorst, had any reports of raring locking up ?  oldish intel h/w, dunno if it is compix or X12:14
mlankhorstraring should be mostly the same as quantal at this point12:15
mlankhorstonly thing newer is xserver-xorg-video-intel I think12:15
apwi just upgraded from there, literally this am, and not happy12:15
tjaaltonwell there's sna and newer kernel12:15

tjaaltonoops, ugly url12:15
apwi have definatly lost updates12:15
mlankhorstbut opengl is the same, I think12:16
apwi hit a button in pidgin (which is broken it seems) and when i did 'X' has locked12:16
apwand i have a nice static screen now, nothing in Xorg.log or dmesg as far as i can see12:16
mlankhorstapw: you could try xserver-xorg-video-intel from quantal12:16
apwjoy12:16
tjaaltonapw: does the mouse pointer move, can you change the vt?12:16
apwmouse moves yes12:17
mlankhorsttjaalton: older intels have a really nice failure mode :-)12:17
tjaaltonso try killing compiz12:17
apwi can change to VT1 but on trying to come back only my internal LCD has come back to X the other ... not so much12:17
tjaaltonI've had compiz lock up a few times on my ivb when I return to my session from the wife's12:17
apwand now i cannot change VTs any moe12:17
tjaaltonheh12:17

apwany debug steps, or should i start killing things to see what changes12:23
tjaaltonyeah, try killing compiz12:23
jcristausounds like gm4512:24
apwnice, it is immune to kill -912:24
tjaaltontop-of-the-line gen4 :)12:24
mlankhorstapw: pssh, only init is really immune to kill-912:25
mlankhorstif you mask it off12:25
apwmlankhorst, not if things are broken ...12:25
apwi cannot attach to X either, it just hangs trying and now strace is stuck12:25
mlankhorsttrue :D12:25
apwi think this is well bust12:25
tjaaltonnothing in dmesg?12:26
apw[ 1920.816540]  [<ffffffffa00e92e5>] intel_crtc_wait_for_pending_flips+0x75/0xd0 [i915]12:26
tjaaltonahah12:26
apwnot this again, can't they do anything right12:26
tjaalton:)12:26
mlankhorstnot our problem then! :D12:26
apwhave we lost that fix ...12:27
* apw goes check12:27
tjaaltonwell they rewrote modesetting12:27
* apw *cries*12:27
apwthanks guys12:27
mlankhorstnp!12:27
tjaaltonthere is intel-gpu-tools with a kms_flip test12:27
tjaaltoniirc12:27
mlankhorsti think that one could even be made to work on nouveau12:27
tjaaltonso you should be able to trigger it by just running that (and not X)12:27
apwcool, though i think we were carrying a sauce patch for some flippage breakage12:28
tjaaltonapw: can you repro it in X?12:28
tjaaltonapw: there was some fix for precise in -intel12:28
apwoh maybe that was what i was thinking12:28
tjaaltonthe "blank screen on resume" bug12:28
tjaalton+infamous12:28
apwyeah12:29
mlankhorstwith 5 different possible causes!12:29
tjaaltonright12:29
tjaaltonjust like the drm/whatever race12:29
apwonly 5 lets dogpile some more12:29
mlankhorsttjaalton: hey at least it's no longer intel locks up on every hardware out there everywhere :D12:29
tjaaltonmlankhorst: yeah it's genuinely better now, and ickle looking at lp bugs directly, winning12:30
mlankhorsthaha we should push for him to be debian maintainer and get ubuntu ppu12:30
mlankhorst>:X12:30
tjaaltonapw: you could file it too12:30
tjaaltonubuntu-bug xorg12:30
tjaaltonor x-x-v-i12:30
apwso switching vts works ok before i run anything12:32
apwthough the act of doing so kills unity i think12:32
apwhas anyone complained that vga output seems 'wobbly'12:36
tjaaltonit's working here with snb12:37
apwi should clarify, that my head is telling me it is flickering very slightly, which i have never noticed before12:38
tjaaltonapw: one bug suggests that upstream does have a fix for gm45 hanging in X/compiz12:45
tjaaltonso if you can reproduce this one, then maybe try the drm-intel-nightly mainline build for a while to see if it's any better12:45
tjaaltonwe can then pull the fix for 3.812:46
tjaaltonand identify it too..12:46
apwtjaalton, ok got a ref to that bug as well so i can look at the proposed fix12:48
tjaaltonapw: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1114370 but it doesn't point out anything specific12:51
ubottuUbuntu bug 1114370 in xf86-video-intel "[gm45] Hard hang when plugging, unplugging, or turning off LG 55LE5400 TV" [Medium,Confirmed]12:51
tjaaltonapw: some commits are also cc: stable13:05
tjaaltonbut apparently they're aware that not all pageflip issues are fixed yet, if i'm parsing the pull request right13:05
apwjoy13:07
apwi am struggling to work out how i am reporducing it13:07
apwand i think compiz is breaking seapratlu first13:07
apwwhat a pile of dung R is on this machine13:07
tjaaltonhmm, I should check how 965gm is doing..13:08
