[10:04] <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
[10:07] <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.
[10:08] <soee_> mamarley: i;m on 390.25
[10:09] <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
[10:10] <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
[10:12] <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.)
[13:10] <ricotz> tjaalton, hi, are there installation problems expected for xcb 1.13-1?
[13:13] <tjaalton> ricotz: shouldn't, why?
[13:15] <ricotz> tjaalton, sorry, the installed old -dbg packages held them back
[13:17] <tjaalton> hmm ok
[19:04] <mamarley> ricotz: 390.48 is out.  I will handle it. :)
[19:05] <mamarley> (Which of course, still just means Bionic for now I guess.)
[19:34] <soee_> :(
[19:35] <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.
[19:40] <soee_> :D
[20:12] <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
[20:13] <mamarley> It's kind of pain to test locally now because there are so many dependent packages.
[20:13] <ricotz> how so?
[20:14] <ricotz> build them and install, easy to filter out the transitionals
[20:15] <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
[20:16] <ricotz> pbuilder working well for that
[20:18] <mamarley> True, but that then doubles the number of packages that need to be manually installed by filename.
[20:18] <ricotz> dpkg -i *.deb
[20:19] <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.
[20:20] <mamarley> Regardless, the package is ready in https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/staging/+packages.  nvidia-settings will be uploaded momentarily.
[20:21] <ricotz> a shell script comes in handy in this case
[20:21] <ricotz> oh already :)
[21:24] <ricotz> mamarley, did you notice 384.130?
[22:18] <ricotz> mamarley, I am going to push 390.48 to the other series
