[07:18] <mlankhorst> RAOF: not much, once you import it it's kept alive through the gem handle
[07:20] <mlankhorst> if it's a self import the dma-buf will die, but you don't need it in that case anyway
[07:21] <RAOF> mlankhorst: I suspected as much. Boo, ish.
[07:22] <mlankhorst> boo for sane design?
[07:31] <RAOF> Well, if the gem handle didn't keep it alive be a quick and simple way to revoke access to buffers ;)
[07:37] <RAOF> mlankhorst: Your x-x-v-nouveau upload in quantal-proposed doesn't close a bug?
[07:49] <mlankhorst> RAOF: it was from the previous rejected one
[07:50] <RAOF> mlankhorst: You should include the bug numbers of the things that it's fixing (ie: include the previous changelog). Does the regression not have a bug #?
[07:50] <mlankhorst> erm the previous changelog is included
[07:51] <mlankhorst> 1:1.0.3-0ubuntu0.1 was rejected
[07:51] <RAOF> But you didn't include that changelog in the changes file, which is where we extract the bugs from.
[07:52] <mlankhorst> ah
[07:52] <RAOF> So you would have wanted to do ‘debuild -v$PREVIOUS_UBUNTU_VERSION’
[07:52] <RAOF> Which I think would be ‘debuild -v1:1.0.2-0ubuntu4’?
[07:56] <mlankhorst> ok I'll re-upload
[08:01] <mlankhorst> wow, someone was building nouveau on sparc, crazy
[08:19] <mlankhorst> oh well it's there now
[08:43] <alkisg> Hi, Precise 12.04, Intel 82G33/G31, google-earth complains "unsupported graphics card... need 16MB of VRAM" and it doesn't start at all.
[08:43] <alkisg> I've tried different combinations of the BIOS DVMT settings to no avail. Even tried setting videoram 32768 in xorg.conf, didn't do anything either.
[08:44] <alkisg> Is this a bug in google-earth? Is it a problem with linux not being able to handle DVMT? Will a BIOS firmware update help? Can I do anything to make google-earth work in that system?
[08:45] <mlankhorst> error messages lie :p
[08:45] <alkisg> So, a bug in google-earth?
[08:48] <mlankhorst> I would just check if your configuration is correct first, and look up that error message in google
[08:48] <alkisg> I tried both before coming here, of course
[08:49] <alkisg> I wonder though if this is my problem: (1) google-earth misdetects vram due to dvmt, (2) it prompts to continue and it *would work* anyway, but (3) it crashes because of this bug, and not because of the vram problem:
[08:49] <alkisg> http://code.google.com/p/earth-issues/issues/detail?id=1477
[08:50] <alkisg> I.e. I just found out that people report that google-earth 7 crashes in linux in general...
[08:50] <mlankhorst> there you go then :)
[08:51] <alkisg> It seems weird though that only 10 people would be affected from oct 31, 2012 up to now
[08:51] <alkisg> And that there wouldn't be a fixed released after so many months...
[08:52]  * alkisg tries in another PC...
[08:55] <alkisg> Nope it does work on an nvidia-based PC
[09:08]  * alkisg installed the ancient http://packages.medibuntu.org/pool/non-free/g/googleearth/googleearth_5.1.3533.1731-0medibuntu1_i386.deb which works fine, and calls it a day :) Thanks!
[09:53] <mlankhorst> fwiw, never trust error messages with suggestions
