jbichadarkxst: could you respond to https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-release/2013-June/002428.html too?12:13
SonikkuAmerica(Are we in or out? I'd like to know so I can mess with testing myself)12:31
jbichaI believe darkxst has said we're in for Alpha112:33
SonikkuAmericaAwesome. ( Hey, I just got here. :) )12:33
SonikkuAmericaI need to see if the GNOME 3.8 session menu got itself fixed...12:34
jbichawhat was broken?12:37
SonikkuAmerica(This is with the PPA btw) I can't seem to change my online status... I click it, and the session menu disappears, then the whole top bar acts as if my mouse button was held down (when it's not_12:39
SonikkuAmerica)12:39
q_bjsnider, with apt-get remove , and restored the xorg.conf file back to it's original15:17
q_which, was blank15:17
bjsniderremove what?15:17
q_nvidia driver, this was from yesterday15:18
q_<bjsnider> qubit01, i asked you how you removed the nvidia driver15:18
=== q_ is now known as qubit01
bjsniderwhat was the package name15:18
bjsniderinstall mesa-utils and run glxinfo15:18
qubit01it was from nvidia ppa, package name was nvidia-current nvidia-settings15:19
qubit01ok15:19
qubit01Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0"15:19
qubit01Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig15:20
bjsniderwell, that's obviously a problem15:21
bjsnideryou should be using nouveau15:23
bjsnidermodinfo|grep nouveau15:23
qubit01modinfo , missing file name15:25
bjsnideri'm sorry15:26
bjsniderlsmod|grep nouveau15:26
qubit01i borked it ?15:26
qubit01ahh15:26
qubit01nothing15:27
qubit01thanks for the help by the way15:27
bjsniderok, so maybe it's still blacklisted15:27
qubit01do I need xserver-xorg-video-nouveau15:27
bjsniderpastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log15:27
bjsniderthat package is installed by default15:28
qubit01I think by installing the nvidia drivers it might have removed it15:28
qubit01?15:28
bjsniderno, i tdoesn't15:28
bjsniderthe module gets blacklisted15:28
qubit01https://www.refheap.com/1605815:30
bjsnideryou'r' eusing xorg-edgers15:30
qubit01how can you tell, and what is the default for 13.04 ?15:32
bjsnideryou have hybrid graphics15:32
qubit01I may have been a little tipsy when I tried this15:32
qubit01trying to get 3d acceleration for vmware player15:32
bjsniderqubit01, run the command dkms status15:35
qubit01nvidia-304, 304.88, 3.8.0-25-generic, x86_64: installed15:37
qubit01virtualbox, 4.2.10, 3.8.0-25-generic, x86_64: installed15:37
bjsnidernow uname -r15:37
qubit013.8.0-25-generic15:38
bjsniderapt-get purge nvidia-30415:38
bjsniderthen reboot15:38
bjsnideryou should be using the intel chip for graphics afterwards15:39
bjsniderif you're concerned with stability, edgers is not an appropriate choice15:39
qubit01ok, dpkg -l | grep nvidia reports https://www.refheap.com/1605915:39
qubit01what does the ii mean, removed ?15:39
qubit01do I need to purge the others as well ?15:40
bjsnideryou can get rid of settings15:40
qubit01ok rebooting15:41
qubit01bjsnider, you fixed it you brilliant bastard!15:45
bjsniderno big deal15:45
bjsnideri am a bastard though15:45
qubit01so the issue was I still had nvidia drivers installed ?15:46
bjsniderwhen you install one of the nvidia-xxx packages, they redirect libgl to the nvidia version. your chipset was choosing intel as the gpu, so you were mixing the intel graphics driver with nvidia's glx libs. that doesn't work15:47
bjsniderremoving the nvidia package linked the glx libs back to the standard mesa ones, which intel does use15:48
bjsniderso previously, you were getting a picture on the monitor and whatnot, but no opengl15:48
qubit01ahh i see, good to know!15:49
qubit01now, sadly, back to work :(15:49
qubit01what are you up to ?15:49
bjsniderworking, watching wimbledon15:50
bjsnideri'd still purge xorg-edgers though. it's not stable at all15:52
qubit01the mesa-utils package ?15:56
qubit01dpkg -l | grep edgers15:56
qubit01ii  mesa-utils                                8.0.1+git20110129+d8f7d6b-0ubuntu2+edgers                              amd64        Miscellaneous Mesa GL utilities15:56
bjsniderwell, where did you get xorg-server 2:1.13.4~git20130508+server-1.13-branch.10c42f57-0ubuntu0ricotz~raring16:23
bjsniderthat's from a ppa16:24
