lotuspsychjegood morning to all03:26
lotuspsychjehow was the night Bashing-om03:30
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Started off frightful at the end of ducasse's shift - now quiet . just a couple of wayland issues outstanding .03:32
lotuspsychjeBashing-om: tnx for the headsup, good we have the xorg session as backup03:32
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Yes, But wayland should work , Xorg for the times that some apps are not ported to wayland .03:35
lotuspsychjeaha03:36
lotuspsychjeunless on nvidia?03:36
Bashing-omlotuspsychje: Have not seen nearly as many nvidia/wayland issues as I had anticipated :)03:37

Bashing-omwell,, I still think optimus will not work as is .03:40
lotuspsychjeok03:42
Bashing-omSeems likely " Nvidia doesn't support VDPAU on Wayland. If you need video acceleration -> Xorg  "03:50

lotuspsychjegood evening to all16:08
lotuspsychjeluxio: did you get any wiser on your bug?16:09
luxioNot yet, I pretty much went to sleep after that and just woke up16:09
lotuspsychjeoh cool, good morning :p16:10
ducassehi lotuspsychje \o16:10
lotuspsychjeluxio: at least your system works with nvidia & wayland16:10
lotuspsychjehey ducasse had a nice mate?16:11
lotuspsychjehi immu16:11
immuhi lotuspsychje16:12
immui think i am in16:12
lotuspsychjeimmu: your on artful?16:12
lotuspsychjeevening TJ-16:12
immuno Solus16:12
immuwhy? what happ16:12
lotuspsychjejust curious16:12
immuok16:12
TJ-G'evening16:14
immulotuspsychje, you?16:14
lotuspsychjeimmu: xenial & artful16:15
immu17.04 & 17.1016:15
lotuspsychjeTJ-: luxio here tested artful on nvidia both xorg & wayland working on it16:18
TJ-lotuspsychje: not for very much longer :) well, at least once we move to kernel v4.14 anyhow16:19
lotuspsychjeTJ-: what will happen then?16:19
TJ-the proprietary driver will no longer build.16:20
lotuspsychjeouch16:20
immuwho is TJ- did we meet earlier?16:20
lotuspsychjetj is the legend16:20
immunever met him or saw him here lotuspsychje tj16:21
TJ-AMD introduced Secure Memory Encryption API in this 4.14 cycle, and it's enabled by default (to support AMD devices that use it). It adds a GPL-only kernel symbol sme_me_mask. This is part of the kernel's core memory-management sub-system. It caused a failure to build any non-GPL modules - e.g. nvidia. I reported it  at the rc2 stage. now at the rc5 stage and the kernel sub-system maintainer decided16:22
TJ-the GPL symbol will remain.16:22
immu4.14 hmmm16:23
TJ-That means, if we're using genericly built kernels that support both AMD and Intel CPUs this has to be enabled, which means non-GPL modules cannot be linked in. The memory-management sub-system is so core to everything I cannot see a way it can be worked around.16:23
immuaah 4.14 :)16:23
TJ-I doubt anything serious will be done about this (by nvidia) until after 4.14 is released and lots of users start to be affected16:23
immui was thinking on 4.4 line16:24
lotuspsychjeTJ-: so good we still have xorg as backup?16:24
TJ-when this GPL-symbol issue has hit previously there's been some change and it's been fixable, but for this one I don't see how it'll be possible when SME is enabled16:24
TJ-lotuspsychje: nothing to do with Xorg - this means the nvidia kernel driver cannot be built/linked in16:25
TJ-nouveau will be fine obviously16:25
lotuspsychjeTJ-: kk16:25
lotuspsychjeits a kernel thing then16:25
immubrb16:25
TJ-I think some other out-of-tree non-GPL modules will be affected too. I can't think of any module that doesn't need to use the memory-management sub-system16:25
lotuspsychjeevening sirru5h16:26
sirru5hlotuspsychje, I got 17.10 installed16:27
