tseliotmamarley, ricotz: does the patch for linux 4.6 apply correctly in the 367.35 driver for you? It seems to fail here09:43
tseliotmamarley, ricotz: oh, it's commented out, never mind09:45
ricotztseliot, make sure to make it 4.7 compatible ;)12:02
ricotzwhich will likely land soon in yakkety12:02
tseliotricotz: yes, I'm going to upload 367 with support for that. I also need to fix up the legacy drivers12:20
tseliotthe legacy drivers both build against 4.713:05
ricotztseliot, iirc it was drm related13:13
tseliotricotz: yes, it was, for 367. You never know what breaks in the kernel though ;)13:14
tseliotok, 367 uploaded13:14
mamarleyIt will be interesting to see if GCC6 busts the kernel module build.13:25
* tseliot is not looking forward to that...13:28
ricotztseliot, remember when patching the uvm module is needed it breaks on non-amd6413:40
ricotztseliot, where did you upload it?13:41
ricotzhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-36713:41
tseliotricotz: 367 needs to be approved by an archive admin first13:42
ricotzah it is in the new-queue13:42
tseliotit's in yakkety-proposed NEW13:42
tseliotyes13:42
ricotzI hope you used the ppa tarball13:43
tseliotI did13:43
tseliotI always check13:43
ricotzgood :)13:43
ricotztseliot, did you understood the note above?13:48
tseliotricotz: this one? "patching the uvm module is needed it breaks on non-amd64"13:49
ricotzyes13:49
tseliotI'm on the call, so, I can't really check13:49
tseliot*a call13:49
ricotz+--- a/kernel/nvidia-uvm/uvm_linux.h13:49
ricotz++++ b/nvidia-uvm/uvm_linux.h13:49
ricotz^ this wont be available on non-amd64 module builds and therefore make the patch-apply fail13:50
tselioterr... I'll think of a solution13:50
ricotzdkms_nvidia.conf might have a mechanism to check13:50
tseliotif it doesn't I'll use a macro in the code13:51
ricotzturning on PATCH_MATCH will at least prevent problems on <4.713:51
* ricotz totally forgot about that issue13:52
tseliotI think there is a check in the code13:53
tseliot#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(4, 7, 0)13:53
ricotzno, to prevent the patch to be applied13:54
tseliotok, I see what you mean13:55
tseliotricotz: I have a fix, and I'm going to test/upload it soon15:08
tseliotok, uploading to a PPA for testing...15:29
tjaaltonRAOF: hi, do you remember why mesa ships libGL.so link pointing to mesa/libGL.so? means that it's always there, no matter what ldconfig knows22:44
RAOFtjaalton: I do not recall that, no.22:44
RAOFtjaalton: If I were to guess, it would be to satisfy the OpenGL Linux ABI.22:45
tjaaltonright22:45
RAOFWhich requires that /usr/lib/libGL.so exist.22:45
tjaaltonthere's bug 160911022:45
ubottubug 1609110 in mesa (Ubuntu) "Do we still need the mesa or mesa-egl directories in /usr/lib/<arch>?" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/160911022:45
tjaaltonwine is unhappy, but i'd say just cripple wine now too22:45
RAOFWhy that's hardcoded to point at mesa rather than being an alternative dependent on the master update-alternatives state is not in my memory.22:45
tjaaltonwell it has to point somewhere :)22:46
tjaaltonthough it could be via alternates too, right22:46
