SaviqMirv, hey, totally off-topic, I saw you were replying to a thread about tearing in xbmc/sdl in 14.04, that should be fixed in 14.10 already shouldn't it? do you know what I'd need to set up to get vblank on intel?06:50
didrockspopey: canary channel man! only for my laptop (already updated :p) ;)06:50
popey06:50
MirvSaviq: it's fixed in both 14.04 via SRU and 14.1007:09
MirvSaviq: the original problem at least07:09
MirvSaviq: and I can confirm it on my 14.04 xbmc + haswell setup07:10
SaviqMirv, 14.10, haswell + xbmc here, tearing :/07:10
* Mirv haz tear free, 24p output07:10
SaviqMirv, but it might be some configuration issue07:10
MirvSaviq: :( might be config sure, too07:10
Mirvof course, the problem field of tear free video is sufficiently complex to have numerous problem points07:11
Mirvit's been borken quite a few times07:11
Saviqhmm glxgears is vblanked at least07:11
* Saviq drops .xbmc07:11
SaviqMirv, thanks07:11
MirvSaviq: so you go middle of nowhere but get your xbmc with you? ;)07:13
SaviqMirv, I've to do *something* there don't I ;D07:13
Mirvhehe07:14
willcookemorning folks07:16
MirvSaviq: my possibly relevant settings (settings level expert) system | vertical blank sync: always enabled, video | sync playback to display: off (used to be on, was useful to set off in 14.04 to get 24p output), render method: advanced shaders (glsl), decoding method: hw - enabled vaapi + mpeg-4 vaapi07:17
SaviqMirv, thanks a bunch07:18
willcookewhat hardware Mirv,saviq?  Or specially, what video hardware07:21
Mirvwillcooke: both have intel haswell. I've 14.04 and all great, Saviq has tearing on 14.1007:22
Saviqwillcooke, haswell, hd4000 or so07:22
willcookecool07:22
willcookeI was playing with vlc and VA api the other day07:22
willcookeworked nicely, once I'd jumped through some hoops07:22
willcookeand to that end, I'm planning a session at our sprint to discuss getting HW accel. enabled by default for GStreamer etc07:23
Mirvmy biggest problem on 14.04 was that screen refresh rate didn't change to match the video, but turning that sync playback to display off helped (and I tested that lips seem to still move naturally compared to the speech heard)07:23
dufluSaviq: Anything that's fullscreen in Ubuntu should get "unredirected" (the same thing that we call "bypass"). In Xorg this also means the app has to do wait-for-vsync. In Mir, we have no such archaic requirement :)07:23
Mirvwillcooke: cool! it's about time to get that enabled everywhere by default.07:23
* willcooke invites Mirv to the session ;)07:24
didrockshey willcooke07:24
willcookemorning didrocks07:24
willcookedidrocks, good ideas coming in over G+ last night07:24
Mirvduflu: I think compiz is probably ok, the regressions happen on x.org server+drivers, libraries when things change. like that SDL saviq originally asked me about.07:24
Mirvwillcooke: ok :)07:24
dufluMirv: Well it /should/ tear in fullscreen by design :)07:25
dufluUnless you disable unredirect in CCSM07:25
didrockswillcooke: seeing that! loving it. I want that we discuss that more in detail with stuart live, I guess some parts should be on the base platform and not in udtc itself07:25
willcookedidrocks, excelelnt07:25
duflu... or add a blacklist entry.07:25
* duflu now remembers what he did just before leaving the Compiz project07:25
didrockswillcooke: oh, btw, not sure if you noted, but we start having volonteers and as well a lot of suggestions on the bug tracker: https://github.com/didrocks/ubuntu-developer-tools-center/issues07:25
didrocksvolounteers*07:26
willcookedidrocks, awesomesauce :)07:26
Mirvduflu: right, but then the libraries like SDL come into play and handle the syncing07:27
dufluMirv: Yeah I call it "archaic" but sometimes useful if used right. I saw a video recently where John Carmack mentioned doing the same thing on the Samsung Oculus project.07:29
dufluI've been thinking about giving Mir the same archaic "option"07:30
dufluAlthough Carmack's hack may only be equivalent to Mir's bypass feature. I don't know Android enough to be sure.07:35
SaviqMirv, ha, seems to be something in my session, all's nice and smooth in a guest session07:45
SaviqMirv, I can see the UI being quite slow here, not so in the guest session07:45
* Saviq needs a new $HOME07:45
Saviqhah, so unity being slow maybe is the same problem07:46
dufluSaviq: Sanity check: Is the dash still transparent/blurred when slow?07:51
Saviqduflu, it is, but late07:52
Saviqactually no, not any more, seems fine07:52
dufluSaviq: I think it would be opaque still if in software mode. But software mode would also explain tearing07:52
dufluAha! Software mode07:53
dufluYou have no GPU support07:53
Saviqduflu, hmm... glxinfo says haswell :/07:53
dufluSaviq: Yes, but they're different processes. Compiz/Unity7 can choose to use software rendering while clients still probe the DRI implementation07:53
dufluAnd in fact clients can still be accelerated while Compiz/Unity is software rendering07:54
=== Sweetsha1k is now known as Sweetshark
dufluJust not accelerated in composition07:54
Saviqduflu, right, any way to check why would unity do software? and how to check?07:54
dufluSaviq: ~/.xsession-errors07:54
dufluVarious users have reported spurious fallbacks to software mode. Not all explained07:55
Saviqduflu, hmm I might've just fixed it with dconf reset07:55
Saviqno07:55
Saviqduflu, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/8325328/07:57
Saviqnothing interesting in .xsession-errors07:57
Saviqand it seems to have been faster before I launched xbmc07:58
Saviqlike now I'm framedropping when switching workspaces07:58
dufluSaviq: compiz (core) - Info: Unity is fully supported by your hardware.07:58
Saviqmind you, I'm on 1920x1080+1920x120007:58
dufluSaviq: Yes there are a few long outstanding performance bugs with Unity7 on multimonitor, and generally with the unity-shell plugin07:59
dufluJust make Unity8+Mir work :)(07:59
Saviqduflu, indeed08:01
Saviqduflu, but even if I disable the external monitor, things don't get better :/08:01
dufluSaviq: I used to have to spend many hours every day to keep up with Compiz/Unity bugs. Now I'm a few years out of date, I know nothing08:02
Saviqduflu, actually now it did help, might be I need to restart unity to be able to get it in a working state on a single screen08:03
Saviqno tearing08:03
Saviqthanks guys08:03
Laneygooooooooood morning08:05
darkxstHey Laney08:07
Laneyyo darkxst08:11
Laneywie gehts?08:11
darkxstI'm good08:12
willcookehey Laney08:12
didrockswelcome back Laney!08:12
didrockshey darkxst08:13
Laneyhey willcooke et didrocks08:13
darkxsthey didrocks08:13
* didrocks likes the "et" :-)08:13
LaneyI trust the world broke without my input08:13
didrocksLaney: how were your holidays? :)08:13
didrocksLaney: sure, did you plan to take the week-end off? :p08:13
willcookeLaney, it was a close call with the GStreamer stuff :)08:13
didrocksoh right, the gstreamer one…08:14
Laneythe one that was something else?08:14
Laneyholidays were nice!08:14
dufluSaviq: Oh, also Xorg is incapable (by design?) of syncing to vblank on multiple monitors...08:15
Laneygood sun, good beer, food, seaside08:15
dufluNot sure if that was ever fixed or fixable08:15
Saviqduflu, yeah, that I knew, I just wasn't able to get no tearing across a single screen08:15
dufluSaviq: See? Mir is so much better already08:16
didrocksLaney: enjoyed Portland?08:17
Saviqduflu, it is!08:17
Saviqso yeah, seems unity just can't deal with multimonitor on this GPU, either screen is fine, but both leads to degrading performance08:18
Laneydidrocks: it's a fun place08:20
Laneythey have some big cool forested parks08:20
didrocksoh nice, I didn't stay long enough to see those parks08:20
MirvSaviq: note that I have only single screen attached to that haswell mini-itx pc08:20
Mirvmakes things slightly less complicated08:21
SaviqMirv, yeah indeed08:21
SaviqMirv, managed to get no tearing after all, thanks08:21
MirvSaviq: \o/08:22
Mirvoh, I see08:22
Mirvrestart unity after disconnecting external monitor08:22
margaTrevinho, after poking my users a little bit, feedback has been very positive, only one has said that they have seen the problem again after installing the packages, but I suspect they hadn't restarted the session.08:48
margaTrevinho, unfortunately, some of the users report that compiz crashes for them after unlocking. I have a bunch of crash files that I'll look into later today, but could it be that this change makes it more likely that compiz will crash?08:49

Sweetsharkwillcooke: heya09:07
Sweetshark(OTOH a really good sign that we get bug reports for something to be released in January 2015 in July 2014 -- really shows that we have decent manual test coverage now).09:09

willcookechrisccoulson, lulz - Chuckle Brothers :)14:57
chrisccoulsonhah :)14:58
willcookeYou know how Apple have these ridiculously photogenic people in their screen shots of the Contacts in an iPhone.  Well I move that Barry & Paul Chuckle should feature on the Ubuntu ones14:59
LaneyI think we should have the desktop team doing their best smouldering15:16
willcookeLaney, do you have merge rights to the right places? ;)15:21
LaneyMy fingers have been known to slip from time to time15:21
* willcooke . . o o O O ( Evil thoughts )15:24
LaneyI've sometimes thought about slipping an easter egg in :-)15:24
Laneythere are people who read the upload diffs though, spoilsports15:24
willcookeI remember when the desktop wallpaper got changed15:26
willcookethat was good lulz15:26
Trevinhomarga: there shouldn't be many changes causing crashes, but we might have lose something (or I might, when cherry picking the changes from trunk, as most of them are already in utopic, and we didn't experience many troubles there). Anyway if you've crash files I can look at, it would be nice (although probably they're with no debug symbols).15:50
margaTrevinho, some are very big crash files.15:56
margaI'll look into them and tell you if I find anything interesting15:56
Trevinhomarga: I seel, let me know15:57
