| RAOF | Prf_Jakob: I think you might need the alternate installer for that. | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Prf_Jakob | Upstart to the rescue! | 00:02 |
| Prf_Jakob | init=/sbin/upstart text did the trick | 00:03 |
| RAOF | Heh. | 00:03 |
| RAOF | I don't think you'll be able to *install* from there. Unless this is a precursor to installing some extra driver and then bringing up X :) | 00:03 |
| Prf_Jakob | Well Ubuntu 15.04 fails to boot on my MacBooPro5,1 | 00:04 |
| Prf_Jakob | X fails to start* | 00:04 |
| RAOF | Sigh. | 00:05 |
| RAOF | How do they manage to make so many revision-specific problems? | 00:05 |
| Prf_Jakob | Oth, X now works perfectly with nouveau on my MacBookAir3,1. | 00:07 |
| RAOF | And I've just been at a sprint where at least two people had two different MBP revisions that worked fine. | 00:07 |
| Prf_Jakob | Both Mac's use Nvidia GPU's booting under EFI. | 00:07 |
| Prf_Jakob | The MBP is one of those dual GPU lappys with two nVidia chips. | 00:08 |
| RAOF | Ah, *that* vintage. | 00:08 |
| RAOF | I'm fairly sure that there has been an Ubuntu release where they worked :/ | 00:09 |
| Prf_Jakob | (Even OSX can't switch between without restarting the GUI) | 00:09 |
| Prf_Jakob | Yeah (Can't remember if I had to use blobs tho) | 00:09 |
| RAOF | Woot! 15.04 successfully brings up this dual-AMD laptop, *and* doesn't panic when it decides to turn one of the GPUs off! | 00:10 |
| Prf_Jakob | Always something | 00:12 |
| Prf_Jakob | Installing nvidia current on the USB disk. | 00:12 |
| Prf_Jakob | Lets see if X starts then | 00:13 |
| Prf_Jakob | Oh right, wont start with nouveau module loaded. | 00:32 |
| Prf_Jakob | I will look into this some more tomorrow, do you guys want a bug report on this? | 00:32 |
| RAOF | Yes, please. | 00:33 |
| RAOF | But, obviously, no promises :/ | 00:33 |
| Prf_Jakob | Fair enough :) | 00:37 |
| alkisg | Hi, in Ubuntu 12.04.1, the manpage of xprop mentions that it does support "u" (unicode), but when I try it, it says "bad format" and I have to use "s" instead. In 12.04.5 (newest xorg) it's supported. | 08:11 |
| alkisg | apt-get source x11-utils etc => the code does have support for '8u' there | 08:12 |
| alkisg | Would that be a bug in xprop that needs some SRU? | 08:12 |
| alkisg | Yup, it looks like "case 'u'" is missing from the function Set_Property(), while it's there in all the rest of the code | 08:55 |
| alkisg | https://sources.debian.net/src/x11-utils/7.7%2B3/xprop/ChangeLog/ ==> commit 0d069c0edae83f70ac10fab1a3c04d8197e277c4 | 09:04 |
| alkisg | Enable setting property of type UTF8_STRING. Fix "bad format character: u" error for format '8u', e.g.: xprop -root -f _NET_WM_NAME 8u -set _NET_WM_NAME LG3D | 09:04 |
| alkisg | Would it be easy to SRU that to 12.04.1 (x11-utils=7.6+4)? | 09:05 |
| alkisg | The upstream commit is at http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xprop/commit/?id=0d069c0edae83f70ac10fab1a3c04d8197e277c4 | 09:26 |
| === alkisg is now known as work_alkisg | ||
| tseliot | work_alkisg: it would be a standard SRU. Feel free to file a bug report against that package (describe the problem and how to reproduce it), and I'll be happy to include the change for you (please ping me when you're done) | 14:27 |
