| furkan | tjaalton: on Ubuntu 15.04 i'm still having major problems with changing my desktop resolution | 17:55 |
|---|---|---|
| furkan | with both displays connected, when i change my screen resolution the desktop just turns black with only the mouse cursor visible | 17:55 |
| furkan | and it doesn't recover until i switch to a VT and restart lightdm | 17:55 |
| tjaalton | file a bug | 17:56 |
| tjaalton | try newer kernels | 17:56 |
| tjaalton | bisect if fixed | 17:57 |
| furkan | not a kernel issue, i've tried older and newer | 17:57 |
| furkan | i've also tried older and newer ddx | 17:57 |
| furkan | and mesa | 17:57 |
| furkan | i think that only leaves xorg and lightdm | 17:57 |
| tjaalton | lightdm has nothing to do with it | 17:58 |
| tjaalton | 04:52 < MrCooper> it's more likely a driver issue than an xserver issue | 17:58 |
| tjaalton | missed that one? | 17:58 |
| tjaalton | file a bug on bugs.freedesktop.org | 17:59 |
| furkan | driver doesn't seem to make a difference | 17:59 |
| tjaalton | uh | 17:59 |
| tjaalton | meaning it's not fixed yet | 17:59 |
| tjaalton | the driver is in kernel | 17:59 |
| tjaalton | that does modesetting | 17:59 |
| tjaalton | anyway, I'm off | 17:59 |
| furkan | tjaalton: issue isn't present in 14.04 though (i have a separate partition set up) so it seems like a regression | 18:01 |
| tjaalton | nothing new | 18:01 |
| tjaalton | things happen | 18:01 |
| tjaalton | file a bug | 18:01 |
| furkan | oh i'm not throwing blame anywhere, just looking for a way to narrow down what caused it | 18:02 |
| tjaalton | probably not finding it here I'm afraid :/ | 18:02 |
| furkan | np, i'll file one on freedesktop and see if they have suggestions for debugging | 18:03 |
| furkan | i figure there's more of a chance it'll get fixed if i do some debugging work, but i just don't know what to try | 18:03 |
| tjaalton | they'll know more | 18:04 |
| furkan | tjaalton: crazy as it may sound, it just occured to me to log out of unity, log in with xfce, and turns out i can change my desktop resolution without issue | 19:34 |
| furkan | does that indicate that it could be an issue with unity, or still a driver problem? | 19:34 |
| furkan | with unity, this is the error i get in Xorg.log, after changing the resolution: http://pastebin.com/ZW6akHf9 | 19:40 |
| furkan | didn't notice it before, as it takes some time to come up | 19:40 |
| tjaalton | trying to run it non-root? | 20:08 |
| tjaalton | sounds like you broke it | 20:09 |
| furkan | non-root? | 20:12 |
| furkan | can't remember changing that | 20:12 |
| furkan | root 5926 7.2 0.8 654248 131936 tty7 Ssl+ 15:33 2:54 /usr/bin/X -core :0 -seat seat0 -auth /var/run/lightdm/root/:0 -nolisten tcp vt7 -novtswitch | 20:13 |
| furkan | seems to me like it's running as root? | 20:14 |
| tjaalton | seems so | 20:14 |
| tjaalton | try #radeon then | 20:14 |
| furkan | alright, i'll also make sure i can reproduce it from a live USB to make sure i didn't break anything.. | 20:16 |
