| tjaalton | furkan: ah, that's nice. i'll add it after easter | 10:26 |
|---|---|---|
| tseliot | darkxst: ok, thanks | 10:28 |
| darkxst | tseliot, np, let me know if you need testing of updated packages (though I am stuck on intel only laptop for easter break) | 10:33 |
| tseliot | darkxst: sure, thanks | 10:36 |
| darkxst | I'll dig into plymouth a bit more when I get back, 99.9% sure it should work, so either an issue with intialization of DRM or a bug in plymouth | 10:39 |
| tseliot | ricotz, mamarley: now I do get cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset -> Y . The only problem is that all I can see is a black screen. Something must have broken hybrid graphics | 11:14 |
| darkxst | tseliot what DE? | 11:16 |
| tseliot | darkxst: I always use unity | 11:16 |
| darkxst | I've not tried that yet, but probably best to leave the modeset option out by default | 11:18 |
| darkxst | for now | 11:18 |
| mamarley | Hmm, maybe the new DRM KMS implementation is incompatible with the existing PRIME implementation. I haven't tried it with an optimus system though. | 11:18 |
| darkxst | mutter segfaults also nothing to do with PRIME | 11:19 |
| tseliot | it's certainly incompatible with SLI. Who knows what else that breaks. I'll report that to nvidia | 11:19 |
| tseliot | darkxst: mutter with Wayland? | 11:19 |
| darkxst | tseliot, no there is no code for that yet | 11:19 |
| darkxst | mutter on X11 | 11:20 |
| tseliot | as that would need some patches that NVIDIA published | 11:20 |
| tseliot | oh | 11:20 |
| tseliot | hmm... | 11:20 |
| darkxst | tseliot, it could also be GNOME bug, but dont force the kernel option on until things are working | 11:21 |
| darkxst | just fix alias, and preloading of initramfs | 11:21 |
| tseliot | I won't. I'm changing it back | 11:21 |
| tseliot | :/ | 11:21 |
| tseliot | the thing is I only have a hybrid system with nvidia. No (functioning) nvidia-only system. | 11:22 |
| darkxst | and I only have a nvidia-only system (no hybrid) | 11:23 |
| darkxst | and its my main development machine so a huge pain when I have to reboot | 11:24 |
| tseliot | heh, no nvidia or any kind of testing on my workstation. I even run trusty here. | 11:25 |
| tseliot | the testing boxes run xenial or whatever else I need | 11:25 |
| ricotz | tseliot, I see, please at least paste a debdiff | 11:26 |
| ricotz | darkxst, heh, same here, nvidia-only dev-machine ;) | 11:27 |
| ricotz | xenial + some ppas is where the fun begins | 11:27 |
| tseliot | ricotz: I can probably do better than that. I'll remove the modeset=1 argument from the udev rule, and keep it in the modprobe file, set to 0. This way it's easy change it back to 1 for testing | 11:28 |
| mamarley | I actually have a system that supports Optimus, but it has a hardware mux and I leave it in NVIDIA-only mode because I hate tearing. | 11:28 |
| ricotz | tseliot, alright, then push it that way | 11:28 |
| tseliot | good old multiplexers :) | 11:28 |
| tseliot | ok, good | 11:29 |
| ricotz | tseliot, don't sit too long on such fixes ;) | 11:29 |
| darkxst | ricotz, I just run "devel" + staging on my dev machine, doesnt break often | 11:30 |
| mamarley | If I understand things correctly, the DRM KMS support will eventually allow for "proper" Optimus (rendering only the game/whatever on the NVIDIA card and supporting vsync). | 11:31 |
| ricotz | darkxst, I better don't tell what I am pulling in here | 11:31 |
| darkxst | hmm, hardware multiplexers don't work with prime | 11:31 |
| darkxst | ricotz, don't worry we all know! | 11:31 |
| darkxst | you have a system of git snapshots ;) | 11:32 |
| ricotz | it isn't that worse ;P | 11:33 |
| tseliot | mamarley: yes, that and probably SLI too. And yes, tearing should go away, that will need kernel patches too. | 11:33 |
| * tseliot finally working on the initramfs hook | 11:43 | |
| tseliot | ok, done. Rebuilding and testing now | 12:08 |
| tseliot | well, after lunch... | 12:09 |
| * tseliot -> lunch | 12:09 | |
| tseliot | ricotz, mamarley: I have the initramfs hook and all the fixes here. I am going to upload all that to the PPA | 15:48 |
| tseliot | it works fine (with modesetting disabled) here | 15:49 |
| tseliot | uploaded | 16:10 |
| tseliot | the instructions on how to enable modesetting are in the changelog | 16:11 |
| tseliot | darkxst: ^ | 16:11 |
| mamarley | tseliot: Cool, thanks! | 16:39 |
| tseliot | also, I am going to be off next week | 16:40 |
| * tseliot EOW \o/ | 16:53 | |
