[10:26] <tjaalton> furkan: ah, that's nice. i'll add it after easter
[10:28] <tseliot> darkxst: ok, thanks
[10:33] <darkxst> tseliot, np, let me know if you need testing of updated packages (though I am stuck on intel only laptop for easter break)
[10:36] <tseliot> darkxst: sure, thanks
[10:39] <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
[11:14] <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
[11:16] <darkxst> tseliot what DE? 
[11:16] <tseliot> darkxst: I always use unity
[11:18] <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.
[11:19] <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
[11:20] <darkxst> mutter on X11
[11:20] <tseliot> as that would need some patches that NVIDIA published
[11:20] <tseliot> oh
[11:20] <tseliot> hmm...
[11:21] <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> :/
[11:22] <tseliot> the thing is I only have a hybrid system with nvidia. No (functioning) nvidia-only system.
[11:23] <darkxst> and I only have a nvidia-only system (no hybrid)
[11:24] <darkxst> and its my main development machine so a huge pain when I have to reboot
[11:25] <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
[11:26] <ricotz> tseliot, I see, please at least paste a debdiff
[11:27] <ricotz> darkxst, heh, same here, nvidia-only dev-machine ;)
[11:27] <ricotz> xenial + some ppas is where the fun begins
[11:28] <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 :)
[11:29] <tseliot> ok, good
[11:29] <ricotz> tseliot, don't sit too long on such fixes ;)
[11:30] <darkxst> ricotz, I just run "devel" + staging on my dev machine, doesnt break often 
[11:31] <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!
[11:32] <darkxst> you have a system of git snapshots ;)
[11:33] <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.
[11:43]  * tseliot finally working on the initramfs hook
[12:08] <tseliot> ok, done. Rebuilding and testing now
[12:09] <tseliot> well, after lunch...
[12:09]  * tseliot -> lunch
[15:48] <tseliot> ricotz, mamarley: I have the initramfs hook and all the fixes here. I am going to upload all that to the PPA
[15:49] <tseliot> it works fine (with modesetting disabled) here
[16:10] <tseliot> uploaded
[16:11] <tseliot> the instructions on how to enable modesetting are in the changelog
[16:11] <tseliot> darkxst: ^
[16:39] <mamarley> tseliot: Cool, thanks!
[16:40] <tseliot> also, I am going to be off next week
[16:53]  * tseliot EOW \o/
