| Mez | Hi all, looking for suggestions for gfx cards, as my current card refuses to play with my new machine (can't boot to live cd with it). Any suggestions ? | 13:04 |
|---|---|---|
| Mez | (hoping for 4 monitors) | 13:04 |
| ogra_ | mlankhorst, tjaalton, ... i'm seeing something like this on my dell xps 13 in trusty (ivy-bridge model) http://askubuntu.com/questions/313190/random-black-dot-on-the-screen do you know of any workaround/fix ? | 13:13 |
| tjaalton | ogra_: i occasionally see similar corruption on a focused terminator window, but it's very random | 13:24 |
| tjaalton | file a bug and i guess ickle will have something to try | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | yeah, it isnt costant ... i see it probably twice a day flashing by | 13:25 |
| mlankhorst | ogra_: maybe #intel-gfx knows? | 13:25 |
| tjaalton | i'm still on saucy though | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | intrestingly it doesnt seem to affect the panel and launcher | 13:25 |
| mlankhorst | file a bug in any case, maybe they have an idea | 13:25 |
| ogra_ | yeah, will do, it isnt urgent anyway | 13:26 |
| tjaalton | it's sna related | 13:26 |
| ogra_ | (not actually disturbing or some such, but would be good to have it fixed by release) | 13:26 |
| tjaalton | we're behind a few releases | 13:26 |
| ogra_ | ah | 13:26 |
| tjaalton | but the latest one has some gen4 regression | 13:27 |
| tjaalton | iirc | 13:27 |
| mlankhorst | funfun | 13:27 |
| tjaalton | some font issue, not a huge regression | 13:35 |
| mlankhorst | I think we should upload something newer though for intel | 13:39 |
| mlankhorst | maybe 907 napshot + gen7 regression fix? | 13:40 |
| mlankhorst | tjaalton: you ok with that? | 13:42 |
| Mez | Ok, I've managed to get X to a point where it crashes, I think (system beep, can't change VT, etc) | 13:44 |
| Mez | where would I find the logs for this ? | 13:45 |
| mlankhorst | dmesg? | 13:45 |
| tjaalton | mlankhorst: ah, upstream doesn't have more than that.. then yeah I guess that's ok | 13:47 |
| tjaalton | I could test it on my gen4 tho | 13:47 |
| tjaalton | ..tomorrow, public holiday today :) | 13:55 |
| mlankhorst | odd, xorg-server 1.15 build times out on i386 | 13:59 |
| jcristau_ | worked here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=xorg-server&arch=i386&ver=2%3A1.15.0-1&stamp=1389010723 | 14:00 |
| mlankhorst | https://launchpad.net/~canonical-x/+archive/x-staging/+build/5415802 ppa times out | 14:01 |
| Mez | mlankhorst: dmesg shows a normal boot - nothing new after starting X | 14:02 |
| mlankhorst | anything in xorg.0.log? | 14:02 |
| Mez | doesn't seem to be any errors or anything :( | 14:03 |

| Mez | http://pastebin.com/YsZu3GTW | 14:04 |
| mlankhorst | then obviously there is nothing wrong | 14:04 |
| mlankhorst | except why are you using vesa? o.O | 14:04 |
| Mez | mlankhorst: well, the machine boots to a black screen, so I have nomodeset set | 14:05 |
| mlankhorst | don't set nomodeset and try again | 14:05 |
| Mez | mlankhorst: give me a sec, but I *believe* that that makes for an unresponsive system... | 14:06 |
| Mez | ok, now I'm getting some interesting errors | 14:09 |
| Mez | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6703344/ | 14:10 |
| Mez | I'm getting a black screen though | 14:11 |
| Mez | I understand I'm a pain in the ass asking all these questions... but does anyone have the time to help me? I really would love to get my new machine working | 15:11 |
| tjaalton | Mez: upgrade your kernel | 15:41 |
| tjaalton | saucy is clearly too ld | 15:41 |
| tjaalton | +o | 15:42 |
| tjaalton | you could also just try blacklisting nouveau | 15:42 |
| Mez | tjaalton: I've actually tracked it down to gdm now | 15:45 |
| Mez | gdm doesnt like not being 3d | 15:45 |
| tjaalton | right, so blacklist nouveau.. | 15:50 |
| tjaalton | I bet the intel part can still do 3d | 15:50 |
| Mez | tjaalton: I want 4 screens... that's not going to run using 3d... | 15:50 |
| Mez | or... would it... | 15:50 |
| Mez | hmm... | 15:50 |
| tjaalton | Mez: you're not going to get any hybrid with it | 15:51 |
| Mez | ? | 15:52 |
| tjaalton | this is a hybrid machine right? | 15:52 |
| Mez | nope | 15:52 |
| Mez | Desktop machine. Onboard Intel | 15:52 |
| tjaalton | so disable the integrated chip | 15:53 |
| Mez | with a seperate nvidia | 15:53 |
| Mez | there's no option to | 15:53 |
| tjaalton | sure there is | 15:53 |
| Mez | tjaalton: I can take photos of my BIOS if you wish, but I went through EVERY option and there wasn't one | 15:53 |
| Mez | the only option was to make the onboard bitch at boot if you had a monitor connected to it. | 15:54 |
| tjaalton | don't attach a monitor to the mobo? | 15:54 |
| Mez | That's enabled, but the device is still there | 15:54 |
| Mez | Anyway, I don't think it's an issue with X anymore. I can get it happily working with X - but not with a full gnome session | 15:54 |
| tjaalton | well, I'd say it's a bit too much to expect X to work correctly in this scenario | 16:17 |
| tjaalton | blacklist i915.ko then and see what happens | 16:17 |
| Sarvatt | ricotz: hmm, libgl1-mesa-dev in the ppa needs to depend on libxcb-dri3-dev, libxcb-present-dev, libxcb-sync-dev, libxshmfence-dev it looks like | 17:29 |
| Sarvatt | updating it now | 17:34 |
| Sarvatt | uploaded a new bumblebee too, got a ton of emails over the weekend about it being busted | 18:02 |
