ricotzmamarley, thanks!, copied09:52
mamarleyricotz: Thanks!10:04
mamarleytseliot: 364.15 is now ready to test to see if it fixes the DRM KMS PRIME issue for you.  Right now the default is still off.10:05
ricotzmamarley, make really sure to use the previous packaging as base10:07
ricotze.g. in 16.04 dkms.conf appeared again10:08
tseliotmamarley: ok, thanks, I'll let you know how that goes10:09
mamarleyricotz: Yes, I based all the 364.15 packages off of the 364.12 packages that were in the PPA.10:10
mamarleyI always do it that way.10:11
ricotzdebian/dkms_nvidia/dkms.conf10:11
tseliotmamarley: passing modeset=1 in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf doesn't always seem to work10:51
mamarleytseliot: What is the way to check if it is on again?10:52
tseliotmamarley: sudo cat /sys/module/nvidia_drm/parameters/modeset10:52
mamarleyHmm, yeah, it doesn't seem to be on here either.10:53
tseliotshutting down lightdm and rmmodding/modprobing nvidia-drm work10:53
tseliot*works10:53
tseliotalso the bug is fixed10:53
tseliotlet me check the initramfs10:54
mamarleyThe nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf file is a symlink.  Perhaps that has something to do with it?10:56
mamarleyI replaced the symlink with a regular file and it seems to work now.10:59
tseliotyes, that's the problem11:00
mamarleyThat file is managed with the alternatives system though, so I'm not sure what the real solution would be.11:00
tseliotI can customise the hook to copy the actual file11:00
mamarleyAh, OK.11:01
tseliotmamarley: ok, I have a hook that seems to do exactly what I need11:49
mamarleyGreat!11:49
mamarleytseliot: I am going to be either at work or away from a computer pretty much all day, so it would probably be better if you uploaded it.11:54
tseliotmamarley: sure, I will11:54
* tseliot -> lunch12:13
soeemamarley: i tested new driver in some games etc. all works fine. Thanks for packaging :)12:17
mamarleyNo problem :)12:34
tseliotmamarley: the hook is in place, the file is not a link in the initramfs, yet modesetting is disabled15:12
mamarleyArgh!15:12
mamarleyIs it always disabled or does it work sometimes and fail other times?15:14
ogra_grrr !!!15:14
ogra_did someone just upload livecd-rootfs 15:15
* ogra_ starts over 15:15
tseliotmamarley: not sure15:16
ogra_err15:16
ogra_echn15:16
tseliotogra_: I doubt complaining in this channel will help :P15:17
ogra_haha, yeah 15:17
mamarleytseliot: When I replaced nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf with a regular file, it worked on both systems I tried it on the first time.  I needed to leave though so I didn't have time to try again.15:17
tseliotmamarley: no, I'm an idiot. I forgot to set modeset=1 when I rebuilt :P15:20
mamarleyThat would do it :p15:21
tseliotsuccess15:39
tseliotok, I'm going to upload then15:40
tseliotmamarley: actually, I'll do it tomorrow and get rid of the whole grub-gfxpayload thing too, since that shouldn't be needed any more15:43
