| pilne | i'll be back to gnome soon... i got a wild hair up my ass to try mate and i'm about to punch myself in the face | 00:15 |
|---|---|---|
| pilne | just thought I'd share a laugh | 00:15 |
| berglh | darkxst: i know this is kind of out of the scope of ubuntu-gnome, if i want to try a kernel patch for ubuntu gnome, do i just clone the ubutnu linux kernel git repo, patch the driver file and then build the deb (somehow)? | 03:04 |

| ricotz | darkxst, hi | 08:27 |
| darkxst | ricotz, hey | 08:27 |
| ricotz | darkxst, I am starting to play around with HiDPI | 08:27 |
| darkxst | does it work? I still dont have hidpi hardware | 08:27 |
| ricotz | while the ubuntu-gnome plymouth theme doesnt support it and also don't use the hacky solution of ubuntu .. | 08:28 |
| ricotz | I did this https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+sourcepub/6167873/+listing-archive-extra | 08:28 |
| ricotz | which surprisingly works ;) | 08:28 |
| darkxst | ricotz, yeh we don't have the 2x themes yet | 08:28 |
| darkxst | by hacky I guess you mean the 2-scale | 08:29 |
| ricotz | darkxst, it kind of works, but I have trouble with other hardware issues due missing proper skylake support | 08:29 |
| ricotz | darkxst, yeah, that is what i mean | 08:29 |
| darkxst | right sjylake really needs 4.5? | 08:29 |
| ricotz | more like 4.6 | 08:29 |
| ricotz | but ubuntu's 4.4 will get the 4.6 intel stack | 08:30 |
| darkxst | ha ok, sometime in the future ;) | 08:30 |
| ricotz | no already since 4.4.0-9.x | 08:30 |
| ricotz | aka i915_bpo | 08:31 |
| ricotz | anyway, I guess due the lack of hidpi on your side you havent pushed getting proper support to someones attention yet | 08:32 |
| darkxst | ricotz, file a bug ;) and yes, hopefully I can get a new laptop soon though | 08:33 |
| darkxst | though I do wonder why those patches never landed? | 08:35 |
| ricotz | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/core-1403-hidpi-boottime | 08:35 |
| ricotz | I assume just the lack of time and testing | 08:35 |
| ricotz | would be nice to have them pushed and getting a new plymouth release | 08:36 |
| ricotz | (with soname bump) | 08:36 |
| darkxst | ricotz, yes, I am aware that the Ubuntu plymouth dealt with hidpi at the them level | 08:36 |
| darkxst | I don't about know getting a transition through this late in the cycle | 08:38 |
| darkxst | but guess I could chat with halfline about pushing for an upstream release | 08:39 |
| ricotz | that would be great | 08:39 |
| darkxst | ricotz, you do realise rstrode is halfline on IRC ? | 08:42 |
| darkxst | (just looking the the gnome-hackers backlog) | 08:42 |
| ricotz | oh :\ | 08:42 |
| ricotz | he is | 08:42 |
| darkxst | not sure he would actually be around right now, but he should respond later | 08:49 |

| darkxst | ricotz, I think he is west coast US, business hours... | 08:52 |
| darkxst | though I often get confused by timezones ;) | 08:53 |
| ricotz | darkxst, alright, let's wait | 08:53 |
| darkxst | ricotz, what laptop did you get? | 08:55 |
| darkxst | (assuming its a laptop!) | 08:55 |
| darkxst | my trusty thinkpad T400 is well past its time! | 08:56 |
| darkxst | not sure I trust the lenovo inspired thinkpads now... | 08:58 |
| ricotz | I have a HP 2540p which is getting replaced by a XPS13 | 08:59 |
| ricotz | so it will still take some time for mesa and kernel to catch up with proper support | 09:02 |
| darkxst | skylake does seem to have been slower than past generations in gaining mainline support | 09:04 |
| ricotz | not sure, I have missed some generations in between ;) | 09:08 |
| * darkxst also but in general intel have been 6months ahead of hardware release | 09:09 | |
| ricotz | yeah, but there are still newer skylake revisions coming out which need their little tweaks | 09:10 |
| ricotz | before kabylake hits the floor | 09:10 |
| darkxst | certainly sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell and haswell all had pretty good release day support | 09:11 |
| ricotz | so hoping those current issue will get fixed soon :) | 09:16 |
| darkxst | should do! | 09:25 |
| darkxst | though I don't have any leverage with the upstream intel guyss | 09:26 |
| ricotz | darkxst, fyi the plymouth hidpi patches got pushed | 20:08 |
| ricotz | and of course mutter 3.18.3 and gnome-shell 3.18.4 | 20:09 |
