| calamari | anyone successfully using nvidia glx drivers in wily? | 03:17 |
|---|---|---|
| calamari | I'm getting "failed to initialize glamor at ScreenInit() time" | 03:18 |
| calamari | it's weird too, because in recovery mode I can do startx and that works without error, but in normal mode the above error | 03:43 |
| lordievader | Good morning. | 08:11 |
| calamari | mornin | 08:17 |
| lordievader | Hey calamari | 08:18 |
| calamari | I actually made some progress | 08:18 |
| calamari | I decided to ditch nvidia for the moment and focus on intel | 08:19 |
| calamari | and it gets as far as the lightdm screen | 08:19 |
| calamari | never gets to the desktop, but if I run startx my x apps load .. I can't see them tho, completely black screen | 08:20 |
| calamari | pretty sure I'm just going to have to give up and reinstall vivid | 08:21 |
| calamari | not sure why I'm having so much trouble.. xorg hasn't changed for years | 08:22 |
| lordievader | One of those hybrid things? | 08:29 |
| ikamusume | lordievader: hybrid? not sure I follow | 08:37 |
| ikamusume | it's ubuntu mate, if that's what you were asking | 08:38 |

| lordievader | Two graphics cards, one integrated one dedicated. | 08:40 |
| calamari | oh, yeah | 08:40 |
| calamari | it had been working fine that way under 15.04, I just disabled the intel card in the bios. | 08:42 |
| calamari | can't stay awake any longer.. bummed that I'll be spending my day tomorrow reinstalling. guess I've learned my lesson tho! | 08:45 |
| calamari | no more +1 for this squid! | 08:45 |

| Faux | Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch) | 09:16 |
| EriC^^ | thank you | 09:16 |
| lordievader | !schedule | 10:21 |
| ubottu | A schedule of wily werewolf (15.10) release milestones can be found here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseSchedule | 10:21 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:08 |
| skyjumper | anyone able to scroll gnome-terminal with screen running? | 12:22 |
| skyjumper | somehow shift-pgup and shift-mousewheel become escape codes when screen is running | 12:23 |
| sjoshi | Hello, where i can check the status of ubuntu15.10 e.g. how many bugs open and all that? | 12:42 |
| sjoshi | and what are those bugs | 12:42 |
| OerHeks | sjoshi, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily | 12:45 |
| sjoshi | thanks OerHeks, let me check that out | 12:45 |
| OerHeks | sjoshi, and this, total stats https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue437?action=show&redirect=UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter%2FCurrent#Ubuntu_Stats | 12:45 |
| freeroute | sup, anyone testing the beta of Kubuntu 15.10? What's your opinion? Stable? | 13:01 |
| lordievader | Last time I ran it, it was rather stable... But it is still a beta and in development. It could be broken tommorow. | 13:02 |
| fhf | willy is quite stable using mir and unity 8 | 13:03 |
| fhf | already, not tested normal version tvbh | 13:03 |
| fhf | tbh* | 13:03 |
| freeroute | lordievader: do you think it will get stable until finalrelease? | 13:27 |
| lordievader | Do I think it will stay stable? Likely, but I cannot look into the future. | 13:28 |
| freeroute | unfortunately me neither :( | 13:29 |
| techrx | Ubuntu 15.10 releases on the 22nd of October, correct? Are there any major differences compared to 14.04 LTS? | 16:54 |
| ckocagil | Hello all. What's the easiest way to use a kernel older than 4.2? | 20:23 |
| mcphail | ckocagil: install 14.04 :) | 20:23 |
| ckocagil | Argh. | 20:24 |
| ckocagil | I guess everything is too tied to 4.2 at this point? | 20:24 |
| k1l | ckocagil: what is the issue? | 20:24 |
| mcphail | ckocagil: not sure. You could try compiling and installing an older kernel. You can always roll "back" to 4.2 | 20:24 |
| ckocagil | k1l: I need the vmhgfs module from vmware tools | 20:26 |
| ckocagil | I patched it to build for 4.2, but I get kernel panic and rather not try to debug that | 20:26 |
| mcphail | ckocagil: vmware usually catch up very quickly after a new Ubuntu release, but I've never seen them support _prior_ to official release date. Can you be patient for a couple of weeks? | 20:27 |
| * mcphail has had this problem before | 20:28 | |
| ckocagil | I can try being patient, but I'll also look for other solutions for now | 20:28 |
| mcphail | ckocagil: Compiling an older kernel is very easy, so you could try that if you have some time | 20:29 |
| ckocagil | mcphail: sounds good to me | 20:29 |
| lordievader | ckocagil: You can stick with 15.04 until the end of it's support period. And periodically check if the vmware module works in 4.2. | 20:30 |
| ckocagil | lordievader: but where's the fun in that? :p | 20:30 |
| mcphail | ckocagil: the kernel makefiles are smart enough to do a "make install" in a debian/ubuntu-friendly way these days | 20:31 |
| ckocagil | mcphail: wow, that's actually pretty neat | 20:32 |
| mcphail | ckocagil: just remember to turn off all the debug stuff before compiling, if you use the Ubuntu kernel config. Otherwise you'll be compiling for weeks and the kernel/module sizes will be monstrous | 20:33 |
| mcphail | No idea if a pre-4.2 kernel will work, though | 20:34 |
| ckocagil | yeah. maybe I should debug the module. | 20:34 |
| lordievader | The other way around is usually easier, my 14.04 installs run 4.2 kernels. | 20:35 |
| mcphail | ckocagil: there are 4.1 kernels still lurking in the !mainline repo, if you want to try those | 20:36 |
| mcphail | !mainline | 20:36 |
| ubottu | The kernel team supply continuous mainline kernel builds which can be useful for tracking down issues or testing recent changes in the Linux kernel. More information is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 20:36 |
| mcphail | Are the proprietary nvidia drivers (from the default repos) working in wily just now? Just want to check before I break my install... :) | 20:39 |

| ckocagil | aaaand nope. wily's open-vm-tools-dkms crashes kernel 4.0.9 too. | 21:05 |
| * ckocagil sighs and looks up a kernel debugging guide | 21:05 | |
| fhf | gl hf | 21:06 |
| * ckocagil runs out of a cave, 20 years later, with a glorious white beard and shouts "at last I figured it out! where do I submit the patch?" | 21:08 | |
| mcphail | ckocagil: I think you're on a hiding-to-nothing. I'm sure there will be a binary-blob at the end of the rainbow | 21:09 |
| mcphail | ckocagil: best stick with 14.04, or wait for vmware to sort out their drivers | 21:11 |
| ckocagil | mcphail: the kernel modules are open source though | 21:11 |
| mcphail | OK. I thought they were shims for binary blobs. You might be in luck, then | 21:12 |
