clivejomamarley: so how did the FW5.22 installation go?10:08
mamarleyclivejo: It went fine.  The systems seems to function fine.  I launched several applications and played around with them without any apparent problems.10:09
mamarleyGood job :)10:09
clivejoIm still fighting with this router10:10
clivejostopped working over night10:10
clivejoI was using it on my laptop fine last night, but when my phone connects it says internet not connected and disconnects10:12
clivejohow do you remove just one icon from the panel?10:13
clivejoI keep dragging and dropping the  browser and creating a permanant shortcut10:14
mamarleyThe way with which I am familiar is to unlock the panel, mouse over the undesired icon, and click the "X" on the popup that appears.10:15
clivejoah10:17
clivejohave to click the hamburger menu and put it into edit mode10:17
soeemamarley: activities work fine on 5.22 ?10:18
clivejoLOL Ive removed the entire panel numberous time to get rid of it!10:18
mamarleysoee: I don't use activities and don't know how to test them.10:18
soeeclivejo: ... :D10:18
clivejolooks like the networkmanager-qt got some movement10:20
clivejopatch has made it into yakkety10:22
mamarleyIs there anything else to be done before FW5.22 can be backported to Xenial?10:24
clivejomamarley: there are some major changes to the way things are structured10:26
mamarleyBetween 5.21 and 5.22?10:26
clivejoIt looks like FW and Plasma will have to be shipped together otherwise there will be major breakage10:26
clivejoKDE have moved stuff about10:26
mamarleyAh, I see where you rebuilt Plasma in the staging-frameworks PPA too.  I didn't notice that when I upgraded the VM.10:27
clivejosplit packages up, new ones going into FW10:27
mamarleyOh wait, I was actually looking at staging-plasma.10:28
clivejoI havent rebuilt Plasma on FW5.2210:28
clivejothere was a release about kwallet needing to be respun due to a regression10:28
clivejoIm basically waiting on that (i cant find the respun tarball)10:29
mamarleyYeah, sorry, I was looking at staging-plasma, not staging-frameworks.  Clicked the wrong link.10:29
clivejooh10:30
clivejothey have named it the same!10:30
clivejoI was looking for kwallet v5.22.0-rc210:31
clivejoduh!10:31
sittertarball names do not change until tarballs go public10:31
clivejoah, I didnt know that!10:31
clivejothanks sitter10:32
clivejositter: how is Jon?10:32
clivejohe back to work?10:32
sitterclivejo: still alive ^^10:38
clivejosore I bet10:38
clivejositter: whats going on with translations, are they being shipped with the actual packages now?10:40
soeeItalian Military to Save Up to 29 Million Euro by Migrating to LibreOffice :)10:44
sitterclivejo: frameworks/plasma always shipped translations in the package10:47
sitterI do not have the faintest idea why apps doesn't10:47
clivejovery strange why they shipping them in two packages10:48
soeebleh, Nextbuttons still does not work in installer11:28

mgraesslinhey, did you disable drkonqi in favor of apport in the 16.04 release?12:23
acheron88That's a shame :( http://scarlettgatelyclark.com/2016/kubuntu-farewell-my-friends/12:30
BluesKajclivejo:  is there a fix for activities in plasma 5.6.3 ,? I had to revert to 5.5.5 12:34
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Anyone using YY and plasma 5.6.3 done a system upgrade today?13:41
soeemamarley: ^ ?13:41
mamarleyclivejo: Yeah, I upgraded earlier this morning on Yakkety with both FW5.22 and Plasma 5.6.3.13:42
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> I think I had a kernel upgrade and I'm not able to get login screen13:42
soeeCliv what kernel are you running now ? 4.6 ?13:43
mamarleyHmm, let me try it again.13:43
mamarleyOops, I just remembered that I can't remotely access the laptop with the VM due to a network configuration thing I was testing.  It will have to wait until later, sorry.13:45
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Yup seems to be the kernel13:45
clivejosoee:  on 4.4.0-21-generic now, but wont load Nvidia driver in 4.4.0-22-generic13:45
mamarleyclivejo: Try reinstalling the NVIDIA driver?  Perhaps it just didn't get compiled for 4.4.0-22 for some reason.13:46
soeewell 4.4.0-22 works fine for me on Xenial with latest nvidia driver13:47
clivejoremoving13:49
clivejogoing for reboot13:50
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> This is something more serious14:04
soeeoh ?14:05
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Removed nvidia driver14:05
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> And reinstalled14:05
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Can't build the driver14:05
soeewhat?14:06
mamarleyWhich driver version?  What error was made?14:06
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> And I removed the one for .2114:06
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> So I cant get into my desktop now14:06
acheron88361.42 builds OK here on kernel 4.4.0-2214:07
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> I noticed a GCC update14:10
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Kernel package headers not supported14:10
mamarleyacheron88: Are you on Xenial or Yakkety?14:11
acheron88mamarley: xenial, so toolchain may be different clive's thinking upon it14:14
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> This is yakkety14:14
mamarleyYeah, that's probably it.  -22 is not a major kernel upgrade, so I would be surprised if it broke NVIDIA compilation.14:14
mamarleyI did not see the problem because, of course, my VM does not have an NVIDIA graphics card.14:14
acheron88I hesitating over yakkety upgrade ATM14:15
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> I'm fed up. Not having a good day today14:16
acheron88Have a Nvidia card here as well, so may be a consideration14:16
acheron88may have to try in a VM/chroot to see, if it will build in those14:17
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Router is fecked so have to rely on mobile data which is pathetic here14:25
soeeCLiv new router is not an option?14:29
* mamarley would recommend something on which OpenWRT/LEDE could be installed.14:30
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> I'm in middle of no where. Things have to be ordered and mailed out14:49
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> (Photo, 1280x720) https://irc-attachments.kde.org/O9zUJq7M/file_20.jpg14:50
mamarleyYeah, definitely looks to be toolchain-related.14:50
* mamarley wonders if it might be a good idea to bring KF5/Plasma/etc. to Xenial first for a while until a little farther along in the development process when this sort of thing is less likely to happen.14:52
mamarleyIt would facilitate easier and more thorough testing.14:52
soee340 driver version, so old ?14:55
mamarleyMaybe he has a 8xx0/9xx0 card?14:55
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Sorry guys. Running out of patients with this. I'll be out of action for a bit until I get this sorted out15:20
* mamarley slaps clivejo's router around a bit with a large trout.15:21
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Yeah just the prefect storm. Cant fix it without a decent connection to down the packages15:22
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> BTW can some report this to ubuntu-devel about the errors compiling drivers15:27
acheron88perhaps try going back to nouveau as a stopgap?15:27
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> I've tried. Can't get sddm to start15:29
acheron88kwin/plasma runs OK here with that, albeit a bit laggy15:29
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Just black screen15:29
acheron88ummmm...15:29
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Just having a bad day!15:31
acheron88just seeing if I can get it to compile on yak's toolchain15:34
acheron88clivejo: I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/16364083/15:42
BluesKajmy network-manager widget no longer loads the icon or the associated VPN list, I canopen the nm-connection-editor but the context menu to make a connection isn't loading with right click,....I have this huge error message popup that starts with ERROR loading QML file ....15:49
BluesKajwonder if anyone else has this issue15:50
acheron88someone else said they had issues configuring vpn with that?15:56
acheron88not sure if same issue though...15:58
acheron88clivejo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/157498216:25
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1574982 in dkms (Ubuntu) "Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG: -fstack-protector-strong not supported by compiler" [High,Confirmed]16:25
murthysgclark: Just saw your post? whats happening?16:31
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> So if I install that updated package gcc-defaults I should be able to compile kernel modules again?16:46
soeethat i do not know16:53
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> *clivejo shakes a trout at soee*16:55
acheron88clivejo: trying to get the gist of that, and think it could be new patched kernel from the kernel team that is needed?16:58
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Looks like a setting needs to be passed to compiler16:59
acheron88yes, sounds like that would fix in short term. While new kernel with revised headers is the more permanent fix?17:03
acheron88clivejo: adding 'EXTRA_CFLAGS += -fno-pie -fno-stack-protector' to /usr/src/nvidia-340-340.96/nvidia-modules-common.mk after line 40 seems to fix compile in a chroot here17:16
acheron88then do 'dkms build nvidia-340/340.96 -k 4.4.0-21-generic'17:17
acheron88and 'dkms install nvidia-340/340.96 -k 4.4.0-21-generic'17:17
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> I've no data plan left to download the driver again17:18
acheron88is it not in your apt cache?17:18
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Nope17:18
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> And even 52mb on 2g is like watching paint dry17:19
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> *clivejo throws router out the window*17:20
acheron88when I tried in chroot it used packages - libcuda1-340 nvidia-340 nvidia-opencl-icd-34017:21
acheron88I see them in /var/cache/apt/archives/ of my chroot still17:22
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> :)17:28
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> It built the module17:28
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> How do I make the system install it?!?17:28
acheron88should auto install with dkms17:29
acheron88if not, then those 2 dkms commands earlier will do17:29
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Oooooo17:30
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> That looks better17:31
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Fingers crossed17:31
acheron88may build. big question is does it load and work on boot though17:32
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Nope driver won't load17:32
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Still blank screen17:32
acheron88rebooted?17:32
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Yup17:33
acheron88after a 'update-initramfs -u -k all'17:33
acheron88may need that ^^^17:34
acheron88then reboot17:35
acheron88whenever I've had to rebuild the nvidia driver for some reason17:36
acheron88I always do the 17:36
acheron88dkms build17:36
acheron88dkms install17:36
acheron88update-initramfs17:37
acheron88then reboot17:37
acheron88If it doesn't work after that, it fubar in some other way17:37
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> See the nvidia installer is there any way to hack it to add the extra flags17:45
acheron88the one invoked by dpkg in the debs? or the binary .run one from nvidia's site?17:47
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> .run17:47
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> I have an old driver in a backup folder17:47
acheron88you can run the nvidia website one as extract only, then hack the nvidia module code and run the installer from the extracted folder I think17:48
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> You happen to know how to extract it?17:49
acheron88make it executable and run with a flag I think? 2 secs 17:49
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Sorry everything is so slow on my phone17:50
acheron88run the .bin file from command line with '--extract-only' flag17:51
acheron88should give you a 'NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-340.96' folder with and executable called 'nvidia-installer' in that17:54
acheron88and the mudule code to add the compiler flags to in a 'kernel' subfolder17:54
acheron88I've only had variable luck with that method in the past though, so good luck if you try it17:56
BluesKajacheron88:  so the kernel module for the nvidia 340 is corrupted then. I got an error message to that effect earlier whe i was trying to install it on 16.10 17:56
acheron88not corrupted, but doesn't work well with the GCC/toolchain and kernel headers currently in yakkety I think?17:58
BluesKajyeah this kerenel, 4.4.0-22-generic17:58
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Can't get -21 or -22 to work17:59
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> It compiles the modules with no errors17:59
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> But just a blank screen17:59
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> It should flash the nvidia logo for like a second18:00
BluesKajI have to use nouveau with Xrender backend , OpenGL just cause allkinds of problems18:00
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Before dropping into plasma login screen18:00
acheron88Yep, compiling and installing is one thing. Working on runtime is another completely18:00
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Shame I purged the working one for -2118:01
acheron88I was pondering whether to risk yakkety. Now I know to avoid on this Nvidia machine for a bit18:02
BluesKajand NM widget errors out inwith some QML not loadinhg message 18:02
IrcsomeBot<Clifford> Looks like I'll be out of action for a few days!18:02
BluesKaj I had the same nvidia problems yesterday with 16.04 18:03
mamarleyThe problem experience by clivejo is caused by the gcc in Yakkety and therefore does not affect Xenial.  You probably had some other problem.18:04
KurousagiMK2linux (4.4.0-22.39) buid witch gcc-5 (5.3.1-14ubuntu2)... in YY gcc-5 (5.3.1-19ubuntu1) with --enable-default-pie.18:04
BluesKajthe 340 driver is getting long in the tooth anyway...may need to invest in a better gpu if this keeps up18:04
acheron88KurousagiMK2: is that a fixed -22 build?18:05
BluesKajI should have done a clean install of Xenial instead of just installing to / and setting the mountpoint for /home when I regressed from Yakkety18:07
acheron88oh. no.18:07
BluesKajyeah 18:07
BluesKajbut i did  totally clean Yakkety install this morning so at least nouveau works ok with Xrender18:09
KurousagiMK2try kernel 4.6-rc7 for YY from this ppa https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/ppa18:11
acheron88BluesKaj: yes, I did a cleanup with a fresh install of xenial on this machine a couple of weeks ago, and nouveau works well enough if you don't want OpenGL fancy stuff18:11
sick_rimmito/18:13
BluesKajKurousagiMK2:  does the kernal work ok for you18:29
KurousagiMK2on YY yes.18:31
acheron88aha: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/kernel-ppa/mirror/unstable.git/commit/?id=c1613c321d28bf3f180e3b34ed1c82b4f7d9050318:44
acheron88and nvidia module builds, loads and runs to sddm login with that?18:45
KurousagiMK2should, bun for nvidia-graphics-drivers-364 need patch to add support for Linux 4.6. https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+sourcepub/6403042/+listing-archive-extra18:51
valoriehello folks, I've been called to my dad's bedside - taking my travel computer, but the wifi is awful there so no irc. I should have telegram, but unknown whether I'll even open the laptop there19:10
valoriettyl19:10
ovidiuflorinyofel clivejo so I take it that the SRU for the networkmanager-qt went through?19:14
ovidiuflorinI see the bug is fixed released19:14
soeeclivejo: has bad day 19:19
soeehis router is dying and system not working :)19:19
mamarleyThat's why I suggested that it might be a good idea to package the new stuff for Xenial for a while until Yakkety has time to become more stable.19:21
soeemamarley: yup but usual way to do stuff is current -> previous19:42
mamarleyBut that won't work if problems with the system prevent packagers from packaging and testers from testing.19:43
