=== schmidtm_ is now known as schmidtm [13:04] 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] (hoping for 4 monitors) [13:13] 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 ? [13:24] ogra_: i occasionally see similar corruption on a focused terminator window, but it's very random [13:25] file a bug and i guess ickle will have something to try [13:25] yeah, it isnt costant ... i see it probably twice a day flashing by [13:25] ogra_: maybe #intel-gfx knows? [13:25] i'm still on saucy though [13:25] intrestingly it doesnt seem to affect the panel and launcher [13:25] file a bug in any case, maybe they have an idea [13:26] yeah, will do, it isnt urgent anyway [13:26] it's sna related [13:26] (not actually disturbing or some such, but would be good to have it fixed by release) [13:26] we're behind a few releases [13:26] ah [13:27] but the latest one has some gen4 regression [13:27] iirc [13:27] funfun [13:35] some font issue, not a huge regression [13:39] I think we should upload something newer though for intel [13:40] maybe 907 napshot + gen7 regression fix? [13:42] tjaalton: you ok with that? [13:44] Ok, I've managed to get X to a point where it crashes, I think (system beep, can't change VT, etc) [13:45] where would I find the logs for this ? [13:45] dmesg? [13:47] mlankhorst: ah, upstream doesn't have more than that.. then yeah I guess that's ok [13:47] I could test it on my gen4 tho [13:55] ..tomorrow, public holiday today :) [13:59] odd, xorg-server 1.15 build times out on i386 [14:00] worked here: https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=xorg-server&arch=i386&ver=2%3A1.15.0-1&stamp=1389010723 [14:01] https://launchpad.net/~canonical-x/+archive/x-staging/+build/5415802 ppa times out [14:02] mlankhorst: dmesg shows a normal boot - nothing new after starting X [14:02] anything in xorg.0.log? [14:03] doesn't seem to be any errors or anything :( === jcristau_ is now known as jcristau [14:04] http://pastebin.com/YsZu3GTW [14:04] then obviously there is nothing wrong [14:04] except why are you using vesa? o.O [14:05] mlankhorst: well, the machine boots to a black screen, so I have nomodeset set [14:05] don't set nomodeset and try again [14:06] mlankhorst: give me a sec, but I *believe* that that makes for an unresponsive system... [14:09] ok, now I'm getting some interesting errors [14:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/6703344/ [14:11] I'm getting a black screen though [15:11] 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 [15:41] Mez: upgrade your kernel [15:41] saucy is clearly too ld [15:42] +o [15:42] you could also just try blacklisting nouveau [15:45] tjaalton: I've actually tracked it down to gdm now [15:45] gdm doesnt like not being 3d [15:50] right, so blacklist nouveau.. [15:50] I bet the intel part can still do 3d [15:50] tjaalton: I want 4 screens... that's not going to run using 3d... [15:50] or... would it... [15:50] hmm... [15:51] Mez: you're not going to get any hybrid with it [15:52] ? [15:52] this is a hybrid machine right? [15:52] nope [15:52] Desktop machine. Onboard Intel [15:53] so disable the integrated chip [15:53] with a seperate nvidia [15:53] there's no option to [15:53] sure there is [15:53] tjaalton: I can take photos of my BIOS if you wish, but I went through EVERY option and there wasn't one [15:54] the only option was to make the onboard bitch at boot if you had a monitor connected to it. [15:54] don't attach a monitor to the mobo? [15:54] That's enabled, but the device is still there [15:54] 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 [16:17] well, I'd say it's a bit too much to expect X to work correctly in this scenario [16:17] blacklist i915.ko then and see what happens [17:29] 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 [17:34] updating it now [18:02] uploaded a new bumblebee too, got a ton of emails over the weekend about it being busted
