| alkisg | Some schools are starting to report nouveau segfaults recently. The weird part is that they're still in the same 12.04 installation that they were for years. | 08:53 |
|---|---|---|
| alkisg | [ 63.415500] firefox[2221]: segfault at 4 ip b0a28e79 sp bfc5d0d0 error 4 in nouveau_vieux_dri.so[b0a1f000+2f000] | 08:54 |
| alkisg | Linux pc01 3.13.0-83-generic #127~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 11 12:54:55 UTC 2016 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux | 08:54 |
| alkisg | xserver-xorg 1:7.6+12ubuntu2 | 08:54 |
| alkisg | Should I be looking for a xorg regression, or could it be that firefox is now trying some opengl code that it wasn't trying in the past, and it's breaking existing installation? | 08:55 |
| alkisg | They report that it happens when they're "just surfing" or "right clicking to save a picture" | 08:55 |
| tjaalton | ancient stuff, not really interested, sorry | 08:57 |
| * alkisg doesn't see any recent xorg updates for 12.04 in the apt logs... | 09:04 | |
| tjaalton | because there haven't been any in years | 09:06 |
| tjaalton | but they're running the trusty stack, or kernel at least | 09:06 |
| alkisg | The kernel only | 09:06 |
| tjaalton | so check the kernel then | 09:06 |
| alkisg | Hmm you think the kernel is more likely the cause than firefox? | 09:06 |
| alkisg | For now this seems to work around it : "rm -f /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/nouveau_vieux_dri.so" | 09:06 |
| alkisg | ...that's for 3d support only, isn't it? | 09:07 |
| tjaalton | yes | 09:07 |
| alkisg | Cool, they'll be fine without it :) | 09:07 |
| alkisg | Thank you tjaalton | 09:07 |
| tseliot | one more vulkan driver... | 14:25 |
| mamarley | tseliot: Where is that? I see only 364.16. | 14:29 |
| tseliot | mamarley: https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver | 14:32 |
| tseliot | 364.91 | 14:32 |
| mamarley | That appears to be only for Microsoft® Windows®. | 14:33 |
| tseliot | right. I'm not sure why I've just received a notification about it. 364.16 is already in the vulkan PPA BTW | 14:33 |
| mamarley | Yep, I installed it yesterday. I get a segfault from vkcube though… | 14:34 |
| tseliot | :/ | 14:34 |
| tjaalton | vkcube is broken | 14:35 |
| tjaalton | try sascha willems demos | 14:35 |
| Azelphur | Hey folks, odd question. I bought a little bluetooth gamepad, connects and works fine (it identifies as a keyboard and sends keystrokes). I'm wondering if there's some way I could abuse it as a macro pad? binding the keystrokes it sends to run commands, I know of stuff like xbindkeys but I don't think it can do per-device binds? | 21:52 |
