| soee_ | mamarley: do you know if existing driver version needs some patched for kernel 4.16-rc7 ? I have tried it with nvidia driver but it on sddm screen i have black scren and when i move mouse sddm content is rendered square by square and i can login but only with some defautl resolution | 10:04 |
|---|---|---|
| soee_ | so i winder if this is driver or kernel issue | 10:04 |
| mamarley | soee_: 390.42 does need a patch for 4.16, but the result of not having the patch would be that the driver wouldn't load at all, not the problem you are seeing. | 10:07 |
| soee_ | mamarley: i;m on 390.25 | 10:08 |
| mamarley | That one would probably need a patch too, but I never tried it. | 10:09 |
| soee_ | could you test the 4.16-rc7 in some free time? | 10:09 |
| mamarley | I'm already running 4.16-rc7. | 10:09 |
| soee_ | oh interesging | 10:09 |
| soee_ | usually when installing kernel that will not work with nvidia driver i have an error in console shown | 10:10 |
| soee_ | installing this versin there was no error but the problems later after reboot | 10:10 |
| mamarley | The problem with 390.42 and 4.16 was a symbol not being found when the module is inserted, which would not show up when the driver was installed. On my system it prevented X from starting entirely; I'm not sure what is going on with you. (The patch works around the symbol problem and allows the driver to load successfully.) | 10:12 |
| ricotz | tjaalton, hi, are there installation problems expected for xcb 1.13-1? | 13:10 |
| tjaalton | ricotz: shouldn't, why? | 13:13 |
| ricotz | tjaalton, sorry, the installed old -dbg packages held them back | 13:15 |
| tjaalton | hmm ok | 13:17 |
| mamarley | ricotz: 390.48 is out. I will handle it. :) | 19:04 |
| mamarley | (Which of course, still just means Bionic for now I guess.) | 19:05 |
| soee_ | :( | 19:34 |
| mamarley | soee_: Sorry, I would if I could. If for no other reason than because I currently respond to many emails asking me why we don't have 390.42 yet. | 19:35 |
| soee_ | :D | 19:40 |
| ricotz | mamarley, great, does it still require the 4.16 hack? | 20:12 |
| mamarley | ricotz: Yes. :( | 20:12 |
| mamarley | But the 4.15 patch is removed. | 20:12 |
| ricotz | I see | 20:12 |
| mamarley | It's kind of pain to test locally now because there are so many dependent packages. | 20:13 |
| ricotz | how so? | 20:13 |
| ricotz | build them and install, easy to filter out the transitionals | 20:14 |
| mamarley | Instead of having 3ish packages to dpkg -i, now there are at least 10. And since the i386 stuff is split out now, you have to uninstall those packages from the previous release to prevent a conflict. | 20:15 |
| ricotz | you want to install (nearly) *all* anyway for testing | 20:15 |
| ricotz | just built i386 and amd64 locally | 20:15 |
| ricotz | pbuilder working well for that | 20:16 |
| mamarley | True, but that then doubles the number of packages that need to be manually installed by filename. | 20:18 |
| ricotz | dpkg -i *.deb | 20:18 |
| mamarley | That's exactly what I did, but that caused a bunch of conflicts and dependency errors, eventually requiring that I remove everything NVIDIA and start from scratch to fix. | 20:19 |
| mamarley | Regardless, the package is ready in https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages. nvidia-settings will be uploaded momentarily. | 20:20 |
| ricotz | a shell script comes in handy in this case | 20:21 |
| ricotz | oh already :) | 20:21 |
| ricotz | mamarley, did you notice 384.130? | 21:24 |
| ricotz | mamarley, I am going to push 390.48 to the other series | 22:18 |
