[01:46] <olli> hey RAOF
[01:46] <olli> evening
[01:46] <RAOF> Various tarballs are sauntering up to U1.
[01:46] <olli> RAOF, awesome!
[01:47] <olli> thx
[01:47] <RAOF> Taking a relaxed stroll through my ADSL pipe.
[01:47] <olli> :)
[01:47] <olli> do you need me to upload something?
[01:47] <olli> it seems like there is enough time until the meeting
[01:47]  * olli counts hours until 5am
[01:48] <RAOF> About 12 :)
[01:48] <olli> 12?
[01:48] <olli> I count 9
[01:48] <RAOF> Hm. 10?
[01:48] <olli> 9h 12min
[01:48] <olli> 7:48pm here
[01:48] <olli> meeting in my cal from 5-6am
[01:49] <RAOF> Meeting is 10pm my local time, and it's 11 minutes to 12 here.
[01:49]  * RAOF checks calendar.
[01:49] <olli> hm
[01:49] <RAOF> Ah.
[01:49] <olli> I never get these TZs right
[01:49] <RAOF> No, it's 9pm my local time :)
[01:49] <olli> :)
[01:50] <RAOF> Anyway, the upload is about half done; it'll be done in plenty of time for 9pm :)
[01:51] <olli> RAOF, when you send the mail, mind suggesting an IRC channel (ask if that works... it's china...)
[01:51] <olli> and if it doesn't we can try something like gg doc
[01:51] <RAOF> On freenode?
[01:51] <olli> to just share stuff, links to files in the local fs, etc
[01:51] <olli> RAOF, yeah
[01:51] <olli> we could probably just use this one here actually

[02:52] <duflu> It feels familiar. I think I came up against similar in Compiz
[02:54] <RAOF> Well, there's currently no scheduling at the GPU level, so clients are perfectly capable of flooding.

[03:20] <RAOF> Or, I guess, both? :)
[03:20] <olli> the latter
[03:22] <olli> RAOF, the Mesa U1 link doesn't work for me
[03:23] <RAOF> Grr. Let me check.
[03:24] <RAOF> Oh, man. The fact that the mesa link randomly ends in ‘Xserver’ is confusing :)

[03:57] <duflu> It sounds very close to the symptoms being discussed yesterday
[03:58] <duflu> Wow, building a kernel is much slower than it used to be.
[05:04] <jono> RAOF, do you know what the status is on the ATI blocker that is blocking Mir from updating in the archive?
[05:04] <RAOF> jono: It's being frustrating and awkward.
[05:04] <jono> RAOF, I can imagine
[05:05] <jono> still blocked I presume
[05:05] <RAOF> But it's not actually an ATI blocker; it's an IPC problem that only appears on that machine for some reason.
[05:05] <jono> ahhh
[05:06] <jono> RAOF, do you think we should hold off the call for testing for the packages in the archive until this is fixed?
[05:06] <RAOF> Maybe? It's a race condition that seems to be pretty hard to hit, though.

[06:30] <RAOF> Man our tests take a long time to run under valgrind!

[07:01] <mlankhorst> RAOF: poke sumits on irc, but yeah I haven't had any feedback on my fence patch either
[07:02] <RAOF> sumits-away it is!
[07:04] <duflu> mlankhorst: Your vblank patches work brilliantly for Mir. Strangely stuck at 30-45Hz in X though.
[07:05] <duflu> Maybe Compiz is just trying to do *too much* every frame
[07:07] <mlankhorst> duflu: I still get > 100 fps every time, I guess double vblank somewhere
[07:07] <duflu> mlankhorst: Well, Mir had a nice healthy 60Hz with the patches
[07:08] <duflu> And buttery smooth
[07:15] <dholbach> good morning

[07:16] <dholbach> hi duflu
[07:22] <mlankhorst> duflu: my gtx 480 can drive 2 panels at 2560x1440 without problem on bootspeed
[07:23] <duflu> mlankhorst: Admittedly I have only tested a G210 so far
[07:24] <mlankhorst> it's stuck on 135 mhz memory clock
[07:24] <mlankhorst> your clock is more than that
[07:25] <duflu> mlankhorst: How to force it higher?
[07:25] <mlankhorst> so trust me if it's stuck on 30 fps
[07:25] <mlankhorst> it's because of a double vblank path
[07:27] <mlankhorst> the only times boot speeds have given me issues have been when I was running real 3d applications, not the compositing manager :P
[07:28] <mlankhorst> oh and 1080p video decoding won't work on boot speeds ;P
[07:39] <mlankhorst> duflu: sec if you want to recompile the ddx you can probably kill off a vblank

[09:00] <duflu> Dear radeon: Give me an error, or display my buffer. Doing neither is not very friendly.
[09:01] <alf__> duflu: is this with the dmabuf fix applied?
[09:01] <duflu> alf__: I have no idea what you mean. But I have tested up to kernel 3.10.6 and get the same bug
[09:02] <duflu> alf__: What is it? What does it do?
[09:02] <alf__> duflu: dmabuf fix = fix for not pinning video buffers to system memory that mlankhorst was working on
[09:03] <alf__> mlankhorst: does 3.10.6 contain the dmabuf pinning fixes?
[09:03] <duflu> alf__: Yeah mean for nouveau? Yes tested that and it works. But no luck with radeon... though I can't test kernel 3.11 with radeon due to other errors
[09:04] <mlankhorst> alf__: 3.11 does, which is in the archive
[09:05] <mlankhorst> I don't think it qualifies for stable, but it can be backported if you care
[09:05] <duflu> alf__: Yeah I ran into that on nouveau and confirmed 3.11 works. You mean a similar fix is required for radeon?
[09:06] <alf__> duflu: yes, it's a dmabuf issue affecting both nouveau and radeon
[09:06] <duflu> alf__: OK. I just gave up trying 3.11 on radeon due to strange errors. I'll have to go back to it
[09:11] <alf__> duflu: what problems do you get with 3.11?
[09:13] <duflu> alf__: I saw odd Mesa/kernel errors and then full system hang. But that was raring + 3.11 kernel. I will try saucy daily image now...
[09:13] <duflu> It's difficult when I can't upgrade this machine to saucy yet, and it's the only one I can put video cards in
[09:14] <alf__> duflu: why can't you upgrade?
[09:14] <duflu> alf__: It's my "stable" server/desktop
[09:15] <alf__> duflu: perhaps have an partition for unstable installations?
[09:16] <duflu> alf__: Perhaps. But that's a last resort
[09:17] <alf__> duflu: btw, I have a radeon, so if you want me to try something with saucy + 3.11 I would be happy to
[09:17] <duflu> alf__: If I need help, I'll let you know thanks. I'll live-boot saucy for the rest of the day...

[16:28] <mterry> racarr, heyo!  Got a sec to talk about mir sessions in u-s-c?  I'm testing on my nexus4 and the_shell_session_container() seems empty (yet mir/lightdm/u-s-c seem to be up and I see things on the screen).  What populates that list?  (seems to be sessionmediator in mir, but not sure what calls its connect() method)
[16:40] <alan_g> BRB - I've broken VT switching, need to restart some stuff
=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|EOD
[17:25] <racarr> mterry: the protobuf_message_processor
[17:26] <racarr> but if things are working the session container is almost certainly being filled
[17:26] <racarr> you could check for open session, etc, well "connct" with
[17:26] <racarr> MIR_SERVER_SESSION_MEDIATOR_REPORT=log
[17:26] <racarr> perhaps, you are getting the_shell_session_container in a weird way
[17:26] <racarr> i.e. if you just store the CAchedPtr return value
[17:26] <racarr> err
[17:26] <racarr> well, you need to hold
[17:26] <racarr> a strong reference to it
[17:26] <racarr> or you might end up with two
[18:27] <mterry> I got disconnected, resending in case I was already timed out...
[18:27] <mterry> <mterry> racarr, sorry, was away for lunch
[18:27] <mterry> <mterry> racarr, it seems that it's filled from platform-api.  So apps themselves might fill it...  but I think the shell/greeter aren't.   Not sure if they should or even if I'm reading the situation right
[18:28] <racarr> mterry: Ah ok
[18:28] <racarr> it's filled from the RPC layer as basically
[18:28] <racarr> the session is like connection or something
[18:28] <racarr> there is no session for shell/greeter surfaces.
[18:29] <racarr> i.e. inprocess
[18:29] <mterry> racarr, but don't they act as a client for the u-s-c?  I'd think they'd call mir_connect to connect to the system mir
[18:30] <racarr> no, so
[18:30] <racarr> we don't have nested mir at the moment, but lets say we did and then
[18:30] <racarr> there is USC, which iwll jjust hve one session
[18:30] <racarr> "session mir"
[18:30] <racarr> and the session mir has application sessions, and shell surfaces, etc.
[18:30] <racarr> in the session mir
[18:30] <racarr> the shell surfaces, are all inprocess clients
[18:30] <racarr> so there is no mir_connect, and no session
[18:31] <racarr> there could be a session of some sort invented I guess. haven't come up with a usecase/sensible way to do it so far
[18:35] <mterry> racarr, shell surfaces are inprocess clients to what?  To their own mir servers?  But aren't they also clients to the u-s-c?  So they'd do a mir_connect to it, I would have thought.  I guess I'm missing how u-s-c views the shell surface, if it doesn't think of them as a client session...
[18:35] <racarr> mterry: u-s-c never sees shell surfaces
[18:35] <racarr> u-s-c just sees
[18:36] <racarr> greeter, maybe bootsplash and stuff like that, and one surface
[18:36] <racarr> for each user session
[18:36] <mterry> racarr, ok, sorry.  I guess when I said 'shell surface' I meant user session surface
[18:36] <racarr> oh ok like the whole
[18:36] <racarr> session
[18:36] <racarr> that
[18:36] <mterry> racarr, so greeter/user should be registered as sessions in u-s-c, right?
[18:36] <racarr> should be in the_session_container yeah
[18:37] <racarr> but, we don't have nested mir at the moment so you couldn't actually do that right?
[18:37] <mterry> OK, I'm not seeing that now.  So somewhere that's being messed up (and may be my own patches...)
[18:37] <mterry> racarr, we don't have nested mir?
[18:37] <mterry> racarr, how is u-s-c supposed to work then?
[18:37] <mterry> just xmir?
[18:37] <racarr> yep just xmir
[18:37] <racarr> nested mir is still in progress
[18:37] <racarr> some parts of it started to land
[18:38] <mterry> racarr, ok.  So maybe I'm still getting ahead of myself.  :(   /me is eager to try to test whole system integration with a split greeter on phone
[18:38] <racarr> :(
[18:39] <racarr> you could use little Qt apps that display a picture as fake session clients of u-s-c
[18:39] <racarr> to get things going
[18:39] <racarr> it just wont be as satisfying lol
[18:39] <mterry> racarr, well, I'm actually able to get the greeter and shell to be run by lightdm
[18:39] <mterry> racarr, but they don't seem to talk to u-s-c at all, and I can't switch between them
[18:40] <racarr> I don't know what exactly is going on byt my guess is its just
[18:40] <racarr> two entirey seperate mir servers
[18:40] <mterry> hrm
