tjaaltonlooks like xorg-server has been accumulating a bunch of crashers all over the place12:16
tjaaltondrivers etc12:16
=== ubott2 is now known as ubottu
tjaaltonuh, how can a system running on nouveau crash with a trace that points to ../src/sna/sna_threads.c?12:58
tjaaltonahh hybrid, of course..12:59
bjsnideruse the bios switch, turn off one of the chips13:09
bjsniderif you don't have a switch, that's unfortunate13:09
tjaaltonnah triaging bugs13:10
bcurtiswx_why would .Xauthority file not let me login from lightDM even with the 664 user:user for permissions13:34
bcurtiswx_upon removing the file it let me login, but appeared to have the right permissions to allow me to login13:35
bjsnidermine is 600 user:user13:35
bjsnidermaybe it wasn't permissions. maybe the file was corrupt13:36
bcurtiswx_bjsnider: so then what was causing it to become corrupt?13:36
bcurtiswx_i haven't purposely messed with that file specifically, only done updates in Saucy13:37
bjsniderimpossible question to answer13:37
bcurtiswx_it's happened twice in the past week13:38
bcurtiswx_past 2 weeks*13:38
bcurtiswx_It's a simple workaround and all, but seems like possibly a bigger issue13:38
bcurtiswx_there's no error that says your .Xauthority file is corrupt that would clue even experienced users into why it happens if they see it for the first time13:39
bjsniderwell, i dunno. i'm not on saucy yet, and i don't log in with lightdm13:40
bjsniderfile a bug if you want13:40
bjsnidershould be against lightdm i suppose13:40
bcurtiswx_I will next time it arises, that way i can attach my .Xauthority file to the bug report13:41
bjsniderbugs don't arise, they manifest themselves14:23
bjsnideri don't understand this movie by nvidia. are they saying the blob isn't good enough?15:08
bjsniderthey'd rather have people using nouveau?15:08
tjaaltonthey want distros to provide better OOTB experience15:09
tjaaltonwhich is not happening15:09
tjaaltonright now15:10
bjsnideri see15:10
tjaaltonyou need to read the original announcement, not phoronix ;)15:10
bjsniderthey want the first boot to be better just before users are prompted to install the blob15:10
tjaaltonphoronix jumped the gun15:10
tjaaltonit's a start15:11
bjsnideri'm reading ars15:11
tjaaltonyeah that's more accurate15:12
tjaaltonactual quotes15:12
tjaalton"basic 3d rendering"15:12
tjaaltonmaybe related to libglvnd too15:13
bjsnidernot sure why all of a sudden after so many years they'd make this decision15:13
bjsniderthey had their own nv driver for that15:13
bjsniderthey abandoned it15:14
tjaaltonmaybe it took years to get this far15:14
tjaaltonbehind the curtains15:14
tjaaltonthey abandoned nv because nouveau was already the default on distros and doing kms15:14
bjsnideryes but that would have been the time to make this movie15:15
tjaaltonand nv was obfuscated15:15
tjaaltondoubt they were just sitting on the docs15:15
tjaaltonjust writing them takes time15:16
bjsniderthey had to be written down somewhere originally15:16
bjsniderthey're not keeping everything in their heads over there15:16
bjsniderit takes time to redact aspects of them that are patented15:17
tjaaltonexactly15:17
tjaaltonand make the lawyers happy15:17
bjsnideri don't think it would take this much time15:17
bjsniderthey could have claimed they were going to do this around the time they abandoned nv15:18
