NET||abusehey guys. anyone gone through 14.04 desktop upgrading to kernel 3.16.x?10:27
NET||abuseis it worth it?10:27
NET||abuseany major teething issues? Package support issues?10:28
NET||abuseespecially the bumblebee type setups.10:28
NET||abusequiet today, anyone in? :)10:40
MooDoono i'm not here10:40
NET||abusespooky! :)10:41
bashrcme neither10:41
NET||abuseso has anyone gone through installing linux-image-generic-lts-utopic on an existing 14.04 box?10:41
popeyi have only one 14.04 box10:43
popeyI should probably install that10:44
JamesTaitNET||abuse, yes, several. I've noticed precisely zero difference. :)10:44
JamesTaitWhich is as it should be, I suppose.10:44
NET||abusehehe, "Shuffling Zombie Juror"10:44
NET||abuse80 changes and fixes to Btrfs filesystem10:45
NET||abusethat wins it for me.10:45
popeyyeah10:45
popeythats why I'm doing it10:45
popeymy server is on 3.1310:45
NET||abusemy home server is on 14.1010:45
NET||abuseand already on 3.1610:46
NET||abusethat's where my primary btrfs is. but..10:46
NET||abusemy main work lappy is 14.0410:46
NET||abuseand it's still on ext410:47
awilkinsNot really been tempted to use btrfs on my workstations yet10:51
popeyi used it on my laptop for a while, but then switched back to ext411:01
awilkinsPossibly a mistake to chose a file system name that can be mistyped as "barfs" with jus tone error11:05
NET||abuseoh god guys, emergency convert dilema11:07
NET||abuseI convinced our scrum master to install 14.10 on his laptop yesterday, he's now experience some pretty aweful graphics performance, seems to be an open bug on this issue11:08

lubotu3Launchpad bug 1386721 in Ubuntu GNOME "Graphics Slow After Upgrade 14.04 - 14.10" [Undecided,Confirmed]11:09
NET||abuseanyone else run into this?11:09
NET||abuseI have to fix this as i dont want my first convert in this office to fail .11:09
awilkinsIs it Ubuntu GNOME you installed?11:13
NET||abuseno11:13
NET||abuseunity11:13
NET||abusebase install, no custom ppa's or anything11:13
NET||abusehe's using an xps 15, so you know, optimus.. but intel is the default driver11:13
NET||abuseso his intel performance is the issue here.11:13
awilkinsHmm11:14
NET||abusehe's not setup any bumblebee stuff himself, unless there's something in 14.10 by default for optimus?11:14
awilkinsI think in 14.10 if you visit the "additional drivers" tool there will be an option for you11:14
NET||abusehe enabled the additional drivers for nvidia from the standard software & sources stuff, but they're not really used by default as far as i can tell11:14
awilkinsStick the output of lsmod on a pastebin somewhere11:15
NET||abusesince it's optimus, intel and nvidia are there, but there's not an option in the bios to suppress the nvidia card,11:15
NET||abuseok, one sec.11:15
NET||abusehere iit is11:16
NET||abusehttp://dpaste.com/3WXP65E11:16
awilkinsSo definitely running on the Intel chip and not the nvisia11:17
NET||abuseyep11:17
NET||abusesame as my own laptop11:17
awilkinsOh, hold on11:17
NET||abusei've 14.04 on the same hardware11:17
awilkinsnvidia too11:18
NET||abuseoh, both drm are loaded.11:18
NET||abuseyou think that's an issue?11:18
awilkinsDunno11:18
awilkinsYou could try blacklisting the nvidia module11:18
NET||abusehow do you find out what's driving the current render context?11:18
NET||abusehuh,, aparently that's what bumblebee does, (at least as far back as 2012,11:19
awilkinsHave you tried installing bumblebee11:19
NET||abusenope11:19
NET||abuseis it available in 14.10 default repo's?11:19
awilkinsApparently11:20
awilkinsYup, in universe11:21
awilkins(and for Trusty too)11:21
NET||abusejust had him install that and reboot (with added nvidia support) and it now seems to have fixed the issue.11:25
NET||abusegonna post this experience on that bug11:25
NET||abusesome one else said they had bumble bee installed and still experienced issues.. i'll have to monitor the situation.11:36

diddledanso much hate in bug #126825713:33
lubotu3bug 1268257 in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331-updates (Ubuntu) "nvidia-331-updates 331.38-0ubuntu3: nvidia-331-updates kernel module failed to build, with only error: "objdump: '... .tmp_nv.o': No such file"" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/126825713:33
diddledannobody is actually commenting with anything useful just with hatred saying "I'm gonna go debian, so poo on you!"13:34
awilkinsIt's a wee bit annoying13:35
awilkinsBut fixable with a 1 line workaround...13:35
awilkins(each time it occurs)13:35
awilkinsThey should just write that into the bug description TBH13:36
awilkinsHmm, I can edit it13:36

zmoylan-pithey sign Laney up for triple glazing companies cold calling lists...14:34
Laneyoh noes14:34
knightwisehmm... need to figure out hibernate on this Surface pro115:01
knightwiserebooting is a little bit of a drag15:02
davmor2Laney: but cold coffee is the only way to drink it, 1: you're a coder so forget about it, 2: you work for Canonical so get pulled into meetings and forget about it, 3: you work at Canonical so get pulled into coding debates and forget it, 4: Buy a thermal Mug end of cold coffee :P15:06
awilkinsOr just roll with it and make frappes15:11
zmoylan-piget a usb heated mug... http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0016LE4HM?*Version*=1&*entries*=015:11
awilkinsreally? What kind of thermal output can you get out of 500ma at 5V? And is it good for your motherboard?15:12
zmoylan-piwouldn't take much heat to really slow down your coffee going cold15:14
intrbizUSB 3, 2A @ 5V would be 20W, which would take about a minute to raise 250ml of water by 1 degree Kelvin based on my back of an envelope maths15:14
awilkinsYeah, but you also have to take into account the heat radiated from the cup and the surface of the coffee15:15
intrbizawilkins: sure, would need good insulation15:15
awilkinsI suppose that one is insulated and also has a lid15:16
awilkinsIs it actually a USB mug?15:16
awilkinsOr is that a USB form factor 12V connector - says it's a 12V mug15:16
awilkinsIt's probably Naughty to run 12V through a USB plug15:17
zmoylan-pithere are usb variants these days i've seen, that one just showed up on quick search15:17
* zmoylan-pi remembers seeing a cpm computer that had 240v running through part of the motherboard after it was modified by engineer instead of the usual 12v15:18
intrbizUSB sockets seem to be rated for 30V15:18
intrbizUSB 3,1 is going to allow upto 100W of power15:20
zmoylan-piwill have to make a cover to prevent babies sticking wet fingers in usb sockets...15:21
ali1234that's 20A...15:21
zmoylan-pis/babies/eejits/15:21
popeythems some fat cables15:21
intrbizIIRC USB 3.1 neogates the voltages to reduce the current required15:22
diddledanerr, neogates?15:22
zmoylan-piclose enough15:22
intrbizdiddledan: however you spell it15:23
intrbizUSB 3.1 can go upto 20V @ 5A15:24
diddledanintrbiz, I'm not sure what you mean so can't work out how it should be spelt :-p15:24
moreatiUSB 3.1 negotiates higher voltages/currents, before it delivers that power through the cable. Unless the infant can talk USB they'll get the default 5V/100 - 500 mA15:25
intrbizdiddledan: negotiates is what I mean :P15:25
