[13:22] <RAOF> tjaalton: Good news, everyone!
[13:24] <tjaalton> libglvnd commit merged?-)
[13:24] <RAOF> tjaalton: Kindly drop the Mir EGL platform patch to mesa at your leisure.
[13:24] <tjaalton> oh!
[13:24] <tjaalton> nice
[13:25] <tjaalton> I'll do that once the next rc/release arrives
[13:25] <tjaalton> which is long overdue
[13:25] <RAOF> tjaalton: Also that. But that glvnd commit actually just means that EGL won't crash when trying to use Mir clients; it doesn't make Mir clients *work* :)
[13:27] <tjaalton> ha, ok
[14:40] <tjaalton> RAOF: btw, do you mean all the patches, or just egl-platform-mir.patch?
[14:59] <RAOF> tjaalton: All the patches, yes. egl-platform-mir, egl-platform-rs, khr_platform_mir.
[15:00] <tjaalton> ok cool
[15:41] <tjaalton> hmm after bionic we're able to sync mesa, who'd have thought :P
[15:42] <tjaalton> not that it actually gives anything, and "loses" history
[17:52] <RAOF> tseliot: Is nvidia/intel hybrid expected to work in Bionic now (or soon?). There's no obvious way to power down the nvidia card.
[17:53] <tseliot> RAOF: I am working on it right now. I am going to drop bbswitch in favour of nouveau + vgaswitcheroo. It works here, but it needs a little work
[17:54] <tseliot> so, soon ;)
[17:55] <RAOF> Cooll, cool.
[17:55] <RAOF> Will that also work with the binary driver? I quite like full performance ;)
[17:57] <tseliot> RAOF: so, you will be using nvidia+intel by default, then you can type in "sudo prime-select intel", reboot, and you'll only have intel. Then "sudo prime-select nvidia", reboot, and nvidia will be back
[17:59] <RAOF> Rad.
[17:59] <RAOF> I mean, it'd be nicer without the reboot, but just working fully again will do for now 😎
[17:59] <tseliot> RAOF: this is how it works: when you run "sudo prime-select intel", that will blacklist nvidia, then a systemd service will load nouveau if nvidia is not loaded, then nouveau makes it possible to use vgaswitcheroo, and a systemd service (or a udev rule) will switch off the iGPU
[18:00] <tseliot> RAOF: I'm really working around a bug in systemd: https://github.com/Witko/nvidia-xrun/issues/32
[18:00] <tseliot> plus GDM has no way to run scripts when you log out
[18:02] <RAOF> Ah, yeah. That's not fixed?
[18:03] <tseliot> not really
[18:04] <RAOF> Do you even need the vgaswitcheroo bit? As far as I can tell the nvidia driver appears to power down the card when it is unloaded.
[18:05] <RAOF> I guess if you've got a mux?
[18:05] <tseliot> RAOF: even then, I can't unload nvidia because of logind
[18:05] <tseliot> and no, no mux here
[18:06] <RAOF> Right.
[18:09] <RAOF> Huh. logind doesn't appear to be holding nvidia open here.
[18:09] <RAOF> But Xorg is, and so is budgie-wm.
[18:09] <RAOF> Although I'm using lightdm.
