tjaaltonhehe06:56
tjaaltonthanks06:56
soee_mamarley: 390.12 beta :)(17:13
mamarleyricotz: Shall I work on 390.12 or are you already doing that?18:09
ricotzmamarley, I started to look at it, but if you want to do it?18:11
mamarleySure, I can take a stab at it.18:11
mamarleyI'm hoping they fixed the DRM atomic modesetting stuff for 4.15 compatibility.  I tried to patch 387 for those changes and it was well beyond my ability.18:15
mamarley(A minimal patch allows it to compile, but atomic modesetting doesn't work because the associated conftest fails.)18:16
ricotzmamarley, seems to build fine with 4.15rc618:18
ricotzif I am back in a few it didnt break too badly ;)18:19
mamarleyricotz: Does "[drm] Supports vblank timestamp caching Rev 2 (21.10.2013)." or something of the sort appear in dmesg?18:20
mamarley(Oh wait, on second thought, one would need to set "options nvidia_387_drm modeset=1" in /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf for that to work anyway.18:23
ricotzI am persistently running x11 ;)18:23
mamarleyricotz: Anyway, it looks like you already have most of the work for this done, so I guess there isn't any point in me going any farther?18:24
mamarley(Or I can do -settings?)18:24
ricotzI didnt really look at it, just plain taking the 387 package and throwing it into pbuidler ;)18:25
ricotzbionic only18:25
ricotznice that the license stuff is fixed18:26
mamarleyDefinitely.18:26
mamarleyricotz: So what do you want me to do?18:27
ricotzmamarley, would great if you could look at it properly18:33
mamarleyOK, I will do that.18:33
ricotzlike symlinking libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1.0.1 seems to be obsolete18:34
ricotzlrwxrwxrwx   1 root root       30 Jan  4 19:16 libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1 -> libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1.0.218:34
ricotz-rw-r--r--   1 root root    31976 Dez 20 16:44 libnvidia-egl-wayland.so.1.0.218:34
ricotzmamarley, thanks18:35
mamarleyNo problem.18:35
mamarleySo while they did fix the compilation with 4.15, atomic modesetting still doesn't work. :(19:21
mamarleyricotz: soee: nvidia-390 and nvidia-settings are uploaded to https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages, but the build queue is well and truly jammed, so it is going to be a bit before they actually compile.20:25
soee:-)20:26
mamarleysoee: Not sure if you saw above, but they these compile fine against 4.14.11 and 4.15-rc6, though atomic KMS doesn't work on 4.15-rc6.  I already tried to fix that with 387, but it is well beyond my ability.20:27
mamarley(KMS isn't the default though, so unless you go screwing around with /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphics-drivers.conf, you won't see anything different.)20:28
soeemamarley: and > 4.14.8 ?20:33
mamarleysoee: I only tested it with the two versions I named.20:34
soeepreviosu driver version failed to work with kernel 4.14.9 and higher20:34
soeeah sorry, 4.14.1120:34
soee:D20:34
ricotzmamarley, ok, yeah, those are precautions due to meltdown/spectre until the servers are patches20:47
mamarleyAh yes, that makes sense.  Wouldn't want anyone screwing around with other builds.20:48
ricotzexactly20:49
ricotzit has been some time since I build a kernel locally, but today it seemed necessary ;)20:50
ricotzmake sure to update firefox20:50
mamarleyI have been self-building kernels for one of my boxes ever since 4.14.3 because of a bugged e1000e patch that causes the interface on that box to not come up.20:51
ricotzoh20:52
mamarleyThere is another patch to fix it, but that patch hasn't been included yet. :(20:53
ricotzso this is even a mainline issue?20:53
mamarleyYes, it affects at least the current 4.14 and 4.15-rc builds.20:54
ricotzI see20:55
mamarley2018 was supposed to be better than 2017, but the first thing that happens is that we suddenly find out that almost ever computer is inherently insecure. :(20:57
mamarleys/ever/every20:58
ricotzespecially if the story breaks 5 days early20:59
soee:) but hey, only better things can happen now21:00
mamarleysoee: Like a nuclear war?21:02
soeenoone wins such war, so no chance for it :)21:03
