| ricotz | mamarley, hi, if your testing was fine then go ahead and copy/upload | 07:44 |
|---|---|---|
| mamarley | ricotz: Will do, thanks! | 11:06 |
| jcastro | ricotz: do you think regular copies of mesa from xorg-edgers to graphics-drivers would make sense? | 17:13 |
| ricotz | jcastro, hard to say, obviously it is not only mesa, but also llvm, libdrm and likely libva for proper support | 17:18 |
| jcastro | right | 17:18 |
| ricotz | and the most common 2d-drivers | 17:18 |
| ricotz | this works fine for non-lts release, but lts with hwe stack is problematic | 17:19 |
| jcastro | does the HWE stack pull in all that stuff itself? | 17:19 |
| ricotz | hwe stack as a different "namespace" | 17:19 |
| jcastro | Like, I wonder if the answer is just "the HWE stack will be pulling in all that stuff anyway" | 17:19 |
| ricotz | so those packages are not compatible and won't be installed | 17:19 |
| mamarley | Ooh, Mesa 13.0.1, nice! | 17:22 |
| * mamarley installs. | 17:22 | |
| ricotz | jcastro, and the snapshot in xedgers is 13.0.1 , currently | 17:22 |
| mamarley | And sorry, I forgot to copy those drivers before I left for work. I will do it when I get home. | 17:26 |
| ricotz | mamarley, no hurry, better be careful ;) | 17:29 |
| ricotz | (this hits quite some users) | 17:30 |
| mamarley | Indeed. I did test both driver versions before uploading. I can't test every supported distro though because I don't have that many boxes/that much storage space. | 17:37 |
| mamarley | jcastro: Do you by any chance have any numbers about how many people use the PPA? | 17:39 |
| jcastro | mamarley: yeah let me fire off the script | 17:39 |
| ricotz | mamarley, I installed 4.9 here on zesty and the nvidia patch but havent rebooted into yet | 17:42 |
| ricotz | nvidia-370370.28-0ubuntu0~gpu16.04.2xenialamd6411016 | 17:42 |
| ricotz | nvidia-367367.57-0ubuntu0~gpu16.04.1xenialamd645845 | 17:42 |
| ricotz | this might be the most interesting numbers | 17:42 |
| mamarley | I checked to make sure both 367 and 370 would boot and 3D acceleration worked on my laptop. I also checked to make sure they would still compile against <4.9 (i.e., the patch for 4.9 did not apply in those cases). | 17:43 |
| mamarley | Are those download counts? | 17:44 |
| ricotz | yes, for those specific builds | 17:46 |
| mamarley | Eleven thousand installs, whoa. That's actually kind of scary. | 17:46 |
| ricotz | plus like 5000+ scattered around | 17:47 |
| mamarley | I guess it is also surprising that so many people are still on Xenial. I would think the driver crack addicts like me would also want the latest stuff otherwise as well. | 17:48 |
| ricotz | not really, many want to have a stable base, with some cherry-picked crack ;) | 17:49 |
| mamarley | I know I have gotten a bunch of emails about when 375.10 is going to be in the PPA. I was hoping NVIDIA was going to release the next 375 driver sometime this week. That driver should support the xserver 1.19 ABI, so I can try out the PPA build I did of that on my non-Intel-GPU systems. | 17:50 |
| mamarley | And indeed they did! 375.20 is apparently out! | 17:57 |
| mamarley | soee: You're sleeping on the job again! | 17:57 |
| ricotz | hehe, this was basically there since 1 hour? | 17:58 |
| mamarley | I will package and test it once I get home. | 17:59 |
| ricotz | sounds good! :) | 18:00 |
| mamarley | This should also fix the segfault-on-exit problem. | 18:00 |
| ricotz | yes, that is the blocker | 18:02 |
| jcastro | mamarley: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23496674/ | 18:31 |
| jcastro | the ppa-stats script I use is here btw: https://github.com/marcoceppi/gypsy-danger | 18:32 |
| mamarley | Ah, cool. Thanks! | 18:32 |
| jcastro | sometimes it misses certain versions in the PPA, I haven't investigated why yet | 18:32 |
| soee | mamarley: i was out :D | 19:50 |
| soee | mamarley: ping me when you have it in your staging ppa | 19:51 |
| mamarley | Sure thing :) | 19:51 |
| tjaalton | so.. someone wants stable mesa backports | 20:32 |
| tjaalton | the headline of the graphics-drivers ppa says "proprietary gpu drivers", which today means nvidia | 20:35 |
| tjaalton | right now the reason why zesty doesn't have 13.0 is that the mir patch hasn't been tested yet | 20:55 |
| tjaalton | and I don't have a working unity8 setup | 20:56 |
| mamarley | ricotz: soee: 375.20 is uploaded to https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages and the 367 and 370 updates have been copied/reuploaded as applicable to https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages. :) | 21:34 |
| mamarley | 375.20 was all that I was expecting it to be (crash-on-exit fixed, xorg 1.19 supported) and more (compiles cleanly against kernel 4.9 without patching) | 21:36 |
| mamarley | ricotz: So it looks like 375.20 isn't entirely bug-free either. On my desktop, it seems to have issues with several OpenGL applications running at once. If I launch several Chromium windows, for example, a game would crash if I launched it. | 23:04 |
| mamarley | That doesn't happen on my laptop though. | 23:05 |
| mamarley | Or, more annoyingly, if I have Chromium running, the KDE lock screen gets stuck and unusable. | 23:05 |
