| ricotz | mamarley, still there? | 07:22 |
|---|---|---|
| ricotz | mamarley, copied 340 and 378, but needed to fix 340.102-0ubuntu0~gpu17.04.2 | 08:55 |
| === lol768- is now known as lol768 | ||
| ricotz | tseliot, tarballs for 304, 340, 375 and 378 are in the ppa (304 soon) | 09:17 |
| tseliot | ricotz: ok, thanks | 09:39 |
| tseliot | ricotz: BTW do the new drivers support 4.10? | 09:40 |
| tseliot | ricotz: never mind, 375 sure doesn't | 09:51 |
| mamarley | ricotz: I'm sorry. What did I mess up so I can watch out for that in the future? | 11:20 |
| mamarley | tseliot: Nope, but curiously both the 378 and 340 releases did make changes to reduce the size of the 4.10 patches. | 11:21 |
| mamarley | ricotz: I also have nvidia-settings, though I will need to upload the xenial package directly because of a version-number screwup I made in my staging PPA. | 11:22 |
| ricotz | mamarley, you simply uncommented the wrong line https://launchpadlibrarian.net/306441551/nvidia-graphics-drivers-340_340.102-0ubuntu0~gpu17.04.1_340.102-0ubuntu0~gpu17.04.2.diff.gz | 11:24 |
| mamarley | Oops, sorry. | 11:25 |
| mamarley | Yesterday seemed to be a mistake-happy day for me. I ended up catching most of them, but that one slipped through. | 11:25 |
| ricotz | mamarley, what is up the nvidia-settings xenial package again? | 11:26 |
| mamarley | My initial attempt FTBFSed because I tried to update it from the nvidia-settings package in the Xenial repository instead of the last one I had packaged. The failure was because they changed how stripping was handled since then. I looked at the diff between Xenial and Yakkety and discovered that the only difference was that in Yakkety and up it was compiled on more architectures, so I decided to just use the Yakkety package on Xenial too. | 11:28 |
| mamarley | However, I screwed up the version number by making it higher than I intended. I deleted that upload but it still wouldn't let me upload the proper version. | 11:28 |
| ricotz | mamarley, I see, ok | 11:31 |
| tseliot | ricotz, mamarley: my patch for 4.10 works well. I can't really test CPU hotplug here though. At least it builds and works on my testing box | 12:31 |
| tseliot | it's a bit of a corner case, anyway | 12:32 |
| tseliot | all tested with my GEFORCE GTX 1080 :) | 12:33 |
| tseliot | I've also noticed that they dropped support for my laptop's GPU in the transition from 367 to 375 | 12:36 |
| mamarley | Really, which GPU is that? | 13:13 |
| mamarley | tseliot: Is the patch available anywhere yet? | 13:54 |
| tseliot | mamarley: I'm going to upload today, so you should be able to see all the patches soon (I have to fix up the legacy drivers too) | 14:44 |
| mamarley | OK | 14:44 |
| ricotz | tseliot, hmm, with your latop's gpu support, are there known plans to drop older series again aka introducing a new legacy branch? | 14:58 |
| tseliot | ricotz: I don't think so | 15:02 |
| tseliot | and I'm not sure what to do with the stable Ubuntu releases. If I migrate users to either 340 or to 375, somebody is still going to end up with a broken system | 15:05 |
| tseliot | ricotz, mamarley: so the two legacy drivers support the new X ABI while 375 doesn't... | 15:15 |
| mamarley | Really‽ That's odd. | 15:15 |
| mamarley | Are you sure? Now that I think about it again, I'm pretty sure I ran 375 with my own build of xserver-xorg 1.19 for a while. | 15:17 |
| tseliot | mamarley: they didn't mention the new ABI in the release notes | 15:17 |
| mamarley | But I think it was added a few releases back. Even for 304 and 340, the new ABI was supported in the previous release. They just forgot to update the release notes for those. | 15:18 |
| tseliot | mamarley: you're right: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/driverResults.aspx/111596/en-us | 15:19 |
| tseliot | oh, and I had already added support for that in the package. My memory is really bad | 15:21 |
| tseliot | I think they broke the ABI again, though | 15:22 |
| mamarley | The X people did? I know they broke it again for 1.20, but there is no point in worrying about that yet. | 15:29 |
| tseliot | yes, no need to worry at this point, I think | 15:41 |

| tseliot | ricotz, mamarley: I have just uploaded all the drivers in zesty. Please give it some testing. While my desktop works, my laptop is acting up (in general) with 4.10 | 17:38 |
| mamarley | tseliot: OK, I will try. You are saying you think it is 4.10 and not the driver causing your laptop problems? | 17:40 |
| tseliot | mamarley: yes, even the network dies | 17:40 |
| mamarley | I have been running 4.10 on both my laptops and my desktop for a few weeks now without issues. I'm sorry you are having problems. | 17:40 |
| tseliot | it works fine on the desktop | 17:41 |
| mamarley | When you say all the drivers, does that include 378 too? | 17:43 |
| tseliot | 375, 340, and 304 | 17:43 |
| mamarley | OK. | 17:43 |
| tseliot | i.e. all the drivers that we support in Ubuntu | 17:43 |
