[03:13] <MichaelP> I thought 13.10 came with Mir
[03:24] <bregma> well, 13.10 will be released in 3 months, who can tell the future so well?
[16:29] <d-snp_> hi :)
[16:30] <d-snp_> I just upgraded to ubuntu 13.10 and it seems to be working
[16:30] <d-snp_> but there's a weird bug with the resolution setting is there a commandline tool for repopulating the possible resolutions list?
[16:31] <d-snp_> when I booted into 13.10, it had VESA resolution, and mirrored displays but everything was 3d accelerated, so the drivers were working perfectly
[16:31] <d-snp_> I then managed to turn off mirroring, and for my 2nd display I could change resolutions
[16:32] <d-snp_> so now I have 1 monitor at good resolution, and the other at 640x480
[16:32] <d-snp_> so I'm pretty sure it's just a gui config bug ;)
[16:33] <d-snp_> also, out of interest is this mir now running directly on top of the hardware? no x in between?
[16:35] <d-snp_> root      6516  7.5  0.9 217896 57536 tty7     Ss+  18:12   1:42 /usr/bin/X -core :0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch
[16:35] <d-snp_> so X is still running? :(
[16:37] <d-snp_> am I running mir at all? how will I notice? :P
[17:04] <TheDrums> You aren't using Mir, no.  You should seek support in #ubuntu+1
[17:05] <d-snp_> alright thanks
[17:09] <d-snp_> alright, turns out I did things in the wrong order
[17:10] <d-snp_> upgrading to saucy for some reason removed the system compositor ppa
[17:10] <d-snp_> now I think of it, that's pretty obvious, as it probably picks the ppa for your distro
[17:10] <d-snp_> ok :P
[17:33] <d-snp_> alright! now I'm in business
[17:33] <d-snp_> it boots to a screen that says I'm in low graphis mode
[17:33] <d-snp_> but I can't use my mouse to press ok
[17:33] <d-snp_> I can use my keyboard to go to another terminal, and chat with you
[17:34] <d-snp_> the low graphics mode is in alt-f1
[17:35] <d-snp_> alt-f7 seems to have some left over output from the boot process
[17:35] <d-snp_> nothing on the other terminals
[17:37] <d-snp_> plugged my mouse out and in, that worked! :)
[17:42] <d-snp_> couldn't get out of the configuration window though
[17:43] <d-snp_> killed it, but don't know how to restart it, instead I ran mir_demo_server, and then mir_demo_client_eglflash etc and those work fine
[17:44] <d-snp_> it would be awesome if I could get it to do some basic compositing using a simple wm
[17:44] <d-snp_> is there anything like that?
[19:55] <racarr> d-snp_: There is something like that coming together as part of unity 8 (wm functionality) :) there is no straightforward way to run it with all the dependencies now.
[19:55] <racarr> p.s. channel not very active on weekend :)
[20:00] <d-snp_> I guess that's sort of a good sign, means everyone's fulltime on it right?
[20:01] <d-snp_> though a pity that there's no basic wm available yet
[20:01] <d-snp_> I'm reading the source of the render_surfaces example now
[20:02] <d-snp_> but the c++ is .. awkward :P
[20:05] <d-snp_> this syntax [&](..) { ... } .. what does that do? :D
[20:05] <d-snp_> is it like c#'s with( .. ) { ... } ?
[21:13] <pepper_chico> d-snp_, look out for c++ lambdas
[21:13] <pepper_chico> that's a capture by reference lambda/closure
[21:23] <d-snp_> ahhh
