| apw | smb, did those (xen libvirt) build ok in the PPA ? | 12:45 |
|---|---|---|
| smb | apw, It built locally. I started a ppa build as well | 12:45 |
| smb | apw, You might check whether you got a "Breaks" in the libvirt version I got on chinstrap for you to make sure I did not only dream of pushing it there | 12:46 |
| smb | apw, The laptop I was provisioning just got near ready for testing | 12:48 |

| jsalisbury | rtg, there are a bunch of duplicates of bug 1305480 I linked all the dupes to your bug. Just let me know if you need me to do anything on that bug. | 15:58 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1305480 in linux (Ubuntu Trusty) "BUG: pcmC0D0p:0, pos = 16390, buffer size = 16384, period size = 1024" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1305480 | 15:58 |

| bjf | hatch, did you ever get your haswell macbooks booting properly? | 20:40 |
| hatch | bjf you bet! http://fromanegg.com/post/82251710943/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-a-mac-or-macbook :-) | 20:41 |
| bjf | hatch, had you filed a bug on that issue? | 20:42 |
| bjf | sforshee, ^ | 20:42 |
| hatch | bjf the bug was filed by someone else | 20:42 |
| bjf | ack | 20:42 |
| hatch | bjf it boils down to two things, not picking the +mac image and using the EFI installer | 20:43 |
| bjf | hatch, ack. seems like that +mac image isn't needed like it used to be | 20:43 |
| sforshee | bjf, hatch: it's bug #1284085 | 20:44 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 1284085 in linux (Ubuntu) "unable to boot after install on 2013 macbook air" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1284085 | 20:44 |
| hatch | yeah it's pretty confusing because the docs say to use that one if you have a mac :) | 20:44 |
| sforshee | I asked for testing of processor.nocst to see if that makes a difference, but no response from anyone yet | 20:44 |
| hatch | yeah thats the one | 20:44 |
| hatch | sforshee ohh I missed that - I don't have the legacy install any longer sorry | 20:45 |
| sforshee | bjf: note that I think apw was working to de-emphasize the +mac iso and possibly to get a release note | 20:45 |
| sforshee | he added a release note task at least | 20:45 |
| bjf | sforshee, yes, i think i saw that email | 20:45 |
| hatch | yeah that would really help | 20:45 |
| sforshee | would be nice to fix the bug, but most of the time I think the efi install is a better option anyway | 20:46 |
| hatch | yeah it looks like the mac needs to be at least a few years old now to not use the EFI option | 20:47 |
| hatch | and who uses computers that long :P | 20:47 |
| hatch | could a guy write a script that someone could run in osx to tell them what kind of install to use? | 20:47 |
| sforshee | hatch: I have no idea, I'm not really familiar with the reason the +mac image was needed in the first place | 20:48 |
| hatch | gotcha | 20:48 |
| hatch | it looks like the regular version has both installers | 20:49 |
| hatch | so yeah....not sure :) | 20:49 |
| hatch | Right now I'm just trying to figure out how to get my battery life back :) | 20:53 |
| sforshee | hatch: does your machine have hybrid graphics? | 20:58 |
| hatch | sforshee yep it has the new nvidia discrete card and the haswell iris gpu | 20:59 |
| sforshee | yeah, you'll only be able to use the discrete graphics and often power management there is poor | 20:59 |
| hatch | hmm....that's not really any goood :) | 21:00 |
| hatch | is this because noone has written a proper driver? | 21:01 |
| sforshee | there's a driver, but there are some issues with getting the discrete graphics working that haven't been fully solved yet | 21:02 |
| sforshee | there's been some progress recently, but afaik nothing that's in upstream linux yet | 21:03 |
| hatch | ahh ok, if I wanted to follow the development on this, where might I look? | 21:04 |
| sforshee | hatch: not sure if there's any discussion going on. Last thing I know about it was that mjg59 had some patches which were working for him. | 21:06 |
| sforshee | hatch: http://www.codon.org.uk/~mjg59/tmp/retina_patches/ | 21:06 |
| hatch | hmm cool, looks like there is some thunderbolt stuff here too, that's great becuase those also don't work :D | 21:07 |
| === DarkPlayer_ is now known as DarkPlayer | ||
| bjf | hatch, when you say thunderbolt doesn't work, there have been problems with it hotplugging in the past. i have to plug mine in and reboot. | 21:33 |
| hatch | bjf yeah that's what I have to do too, which is no good unfortunately | 21:34 |
| hatch | if we are going to convince people to run ubuntu over osx it's got to be pretty flawless imho | 21:34 |
| hatch | not that it's anyones fault of course | 21:34 |
| bjf | hatch, i talked to the intel folks about it. it's an issue with the apple firmware. not sure there is anything to be done about it. | 21:35 |
| hatch | ohhh ok, that's unfortunate, maybe someone will make some nice hardware like this without all the proprietary business :) | 21:36 |
| mjg59 | "issue" | 21:37 |
| mjg59 | Apple chose not to implement Thunderbolt in System Management Mode | 21:38 |
| bjf | mjg59, yes :-) | 21:38 |
| mjg59 | Which is obviously the correct choice | 21:38 |
| mjg59 | But Intel | 21:38 |
| hatch | seems like an odd choice | 21:47 |
| mjg59 | hatch: It means you can do things like tell the user when they've connected too many devics | 22:04 |
| hatch | ahh, I suppose that would be nice :) | 22:06 |
