[10:40] <btm> so after upgrading from jaunty to karmic, upstart is imploding a bit with  "init: rc-sysinit main process (862) terminated with status 134". /etc/init has only four files, while apt seems to believe there should be more. if there's something I should poke at or preserve specifically that would help diagnose what happened here please let me know.
[10:52] <btm> starting up in recovery mode: "init: rc-sysinit main process (863) killed by TERM signal"
[11:15] <btm> rc-sysinit.conf:58 sets DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL to true if inittab lacks an initdefault line which I assume breaks the telinit call at the end of the script. commenting out the 'check for default runlevel in /etc/inittab' section fixes my bootup.
[18:59] <sadmac2> btm: there was a fix for something in that area in recent trunk
[19:02] <plautrba> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Escott/upstart/0.6/revision/1206/conf/rc-sysinit.conf  this?
[19:03] <sadmac2> yeah. I'm kind of splitting my attention right now but that's the first bell that rang
[23:08] <btm> sadmac2: word. Bug #405847 too. Don't know why I missed that one last night.
[23:08] <btm> (in ubuntu)


[01:21] <joern> i have a problem that may actually not be between keyboard and chair
[01:21] <joern> conf-file contains these bits:
[01:21] <joern> start on (started foo and started bar and started baz)
[01:21] <joern> stop on (stopped foo or stopped bar or stopped baz)
[01:21] <joern> initially, when foo, bar and baz start, this service starts as well, good
[01:22] <joern> when stopping baz, this service stops, good
[01:22] <joern> when restarting baz (foo and bar are still running), this service does not start
[01:23] <joern> does upstart require every one of (foo, bar, baz) to transition into started, or only the entire expression to transition?
[22:29] <tylerflint> so let's say I need to send a signal to a process that was started with upstart
[22:30] <tylerflint> what is the best way to do so?


 Ensure to install the backports PPA: https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs#Kubuntu_Backports (re @IrcsomeBot: <uel> I'm getting constant and anoying kdeinit5 crash notification, seems like it's related to thumbnails on kubuntu 20.04; how can I troubleshoot this?)
[09:02] <zex> Hello
[13:22] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[13:58] <thefish> hi BluesKaj
[13:58] <BluesKaj> hi thefish
[17:16] <user|94> Hello! Broke my Kubuntu installation recently and after making a copy of my home folder in the live usb, I am now reinstalling, can I just take that copy of the home folder and replace the home folder completely after booting into the new installation ?
[18:28] <oliver_> hi
[23:07] <ezekielatra> does anybody know hot to get this https://medium.com/@McGivrer/nautilus-to-show-epub-covers-f334db03d68e working on kubuntu 21.04?


[00:01] <jbarnes> compiz may have rotation plugins
[00:01] <jbarnes> but you wouldn't get rotated cursor movement in that case
[00:01] <jbarnes> but maybe that's ok
[00:01] <jbarnes> no other branches available afaik
[00:01] <bryce> ok thanks
[00:29] <Sarvatt> tjaalton: thanks! sorry about that, I had to run out again right after I got in. the problem with the fglrx/nvidia patches were that if someone has an xorg.conf without a driver explicitly being named it would default to the first one in the list then fail
[00:30] <Sarvatt> like if they had a default xorg.conf
[00:31] <Sarvatt> or used the default as a template to add an option
[00:36] <Sarvatt> when i start up with the default xorg.conf only it tries to load fglrx and aborts after on my powerpc machine
[05:51] <hyperair> Sarvatt: i just recompiled mesa-utils with -O0, and the segfaults stopped happening.
[05:51] <hyperair> i mean mesa
[05:58] <hyperair> i said to soon. it just crashed.
[06:01] <hyperair> ...and i still can't get the line number. what the hell?
[06:34] <tjaalton> Sarvatt: right.. that one
[09:41]  * hyperair has discovered that gdb allows one to continue running a segfaulted X.
[10:23] <Ng> hmm wasn't there a jaunty PPA which has newer intel drivers, but not quite as crack-fuelled as xorg-edgers?
[10:24] <tjaalton> xorg-updates?
[10:25] <Ng> https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates/ :)
[10:25] <Ng> ta
[12:20] <tjaalton> libdrm 2.4.12 merged & uploaded
[12:27] <bryce> tjaalton, who is this raphael character and why is this the first I've noticed him?
[12:27] <tjaalton> raphael geissert, openchrome maintainer in debian
[12:27] <tjaalton> recently became a DD too
[12:28] <tjaalton> IIRC
[12:28] <bryce> I'm failing to understand why he's being pissy about an svn update in ubuntu
[12:29] <tjaalton> a bit over-sensitive imho
[12:30] <bryce> yeah, ok, tempest in teapot, I'm going back to bed
[12:30] <tjaalton> heh, night
[13:06] <tjaalton> I'll disable the fglrx/nvidia autoconfig patches in order to get the new xserver uploaded
[13:21] <tseliot1> tjaalton: what are the fglrx/nvidia autoconfig patches?
[13:22] <tjaalton> tseliot1: they modify the tables to try those before nv/ati
[13:23] <tseliot1> tjaalton: aah, nice
[13:23] <tjaalton> just that they fail when there's a minimal xorg.conf
[13:24] <tseliot1> because of the depth?
[13:24] <tjaalton> so they can't be used until the logic is fixed
[13:24] <tjaalton> and I'm not sure that's happening anytime soon
[13:24] <tseliot1> I meant defaultdepth
[13:24] <jcristau> no, not because of that
[13:25] <tjaalton> without a conffile the server builds one of it's own, and fills it with multiple device entries
[13:25] <tjaalton> but that's not happening when you have the conf
[13:26] <tjaalton> it should be fixed to add those after the one(s) from the conf, I think
[13:26] <tjaalton> or by some other means
[13:27] <jcristau> i think it needs something like duplicating the screen and device sections, and setting the Driver for each device section according to the matches
[13:27] <tseliot1> yes, I noticed that behaviour (when no conf file is available)
[13:36] <tjaalton> uploaded
[15:30] <tjaalton> jbarnes: bug 394273, driver specific or in the xserver? pitti thinks it's the server, and I'm not sure about it anymore :)
[15:33] <jcristau> tjaalton: aiui the kernel driver will use the lid information for lvds
[15:33] <jcristau> whenever that patch lands
[15:44] <jcristau> but otherwise, the decision on what mode(s) to use when more than one output is enabled is done by the server, and currently it tries to use a mode that works on all outputs
[15:45] <tjaalton> but apparently it did work before kms
[15:46] <jcristau> where's the log for that?
[15:46] <tjaalton> gzipped in that bug
[15:46] <tjaalton> oh
[15:46] <tjaalton> not the old one afaik
[15:47] <jcristau> gzipped attachments ftl :)
[15:47] <tjaalton> yes, and apparently he's been using the packages from edgers
[15:47] <tjaalton> so it's xserver master
[15:48] <tjaalton> hmm no, it's 1.6.1foo
[15:48] <jcristau> i don't think the server's heuristic has changed since 1.5.x
[15:49] <tjaalton> right
[16:34] <maxb> The standard Ubuntu orange stripy progress bar seems to be causing Xorg to use a pathologically huge amount of my CPU in karmic (nvidia). I don't remember this always being the case
[17:06] <jbarnes> tjaalton: oh not sure about that one... lemme look
[17:08] <jbarnes> ah yeah, jcristau is right, there's a lid patch for that
[17:08] <jbarnes> should land soon
[17:08] <jbarnes> in the -next tree
[17:09] <tjaalton> jbarnes: thanks for confirming, so I'll move it to the kernel then
[17:10] <jbarnes> yeah it's the kernel that tries to match the modes
[18:24] <Sarvatt> xserver needs the libselinux build dep dropped for ubuntu
[18:26] <Sarvatt> we've still got the --disable-xselinux universally, and its stuck in a dep wait because its not in main
[18:28] <Sarvatt> oh its waiting on libaudit-dev
[18:33] <bryce> are we at 2.6.31-4 for the kernel now?
[18:34] <bryce> yep looks like, cool
[18:44] <bryce> jbarnes, Sarvatt:  http://people.canonical.com/~bryce/drivers.svg
[18:45] <bryce> http://people.canonical.com/~bryce/upstream.svg
[18:49] <maxb> *blink* wow
[19:06] <tjaalton> Sarvatt: hrm, wonder why meld didn't show that. that dep was dropped the last time
[19:06] <tjaalton> well, maybe it's time to really get those in main
[20:16] <Sarvatt> hmm, thinking it might be a good idea to make a script or package in edgers that reverts everything so people can revert it easier
[20:20] <Sarvatt> any suggestions on the best way to do that? i was just thinking of grepping sources for edgers and commenting it out then apt-get updating and making it do a sudo apt-get install <package>/distro for every package in there
[20:23] <bryce> Sarvatt, hmm, seems like there ought to already be a "manage ppa subscriptions in sources.list" type app out there
[20:24] <bryce> Sarvatt, in any case, it would probably be smart to slap a GUI on it for maximum user easiness
[20:25] <bryce> tjaalton, thanks for syncing all those packages
[20:25] <bryce> that was on my todo list for today :-)  wee
[20:25] <jbarnes> bryce: haha nice
[20:25] <Sarvatt> i wish apt recorded more details on packages like the source of it instead of just saying http://ppa.launchpad.net for all PPA packages
[20:26] <bryce> Sarvatt, btw, mvo has typically been extraordinarily helpful in apt matters; he might also be able to steer you towards existing code for managing this stuff
[20:27] <jbarnes> bryce: nice note too, thanks
[20:27] <jbarnes> I'll have to reply with something similar when I get back from vacation
[20:27] <bryce> jbarnes, :-)  Yeah I feel like we've hit a solid milestone with -intel
[20:28] <Sarvatt> whoa, those graphs are nuts bryce, you've been busy! :D
[20:30] <bryce> I think I'm going to try putting this level of focus on -ati next
[20:31] <bryce> Sarvatt, hopefully we can pull in the kms stuff for -ati into karmic, and then use the same approach to get -ati bug reporters to test
[20:36] <virtuald> Is there any way I can use an ICM file extracted from a windows driver archive to correct the colors on my second display?
[20:37] <virtuald> tried to use xcalib but it didn't work out
[20:50] <mvo> Sarvatt: I'm happy to talk about issues with apt - maybe tomorrow? its getting late here in my TZ :)
[21:04] <tjaalton> bryce: np, requestsync makes it easy to do
[21:17] <Sarvatt> ahh not going to be as easy as i thought, forgot that it would go and install the things that arent currently installed if i do that for every package so i should at least have it parse the installed package list and only do things currently installed somehow
[21:47] <bryce> Sarvatt, if it's too tricky, a starting point might just be to list the steps on a wiki page.  We can point people to that, and use it as a starting point for figuring out how to script it up
[22:24] <virtuald> how do i see if i run kms or some other fb?
[22:35] <virtuald> now i see it is, drm printk's when i switch to console
[22:36] <virtuald> though it switches to resolutions i don't want
[22:36] <virtuald> and i have to configure x to get the right resolutions
[22:36] <virtuald> is that a bug?
[22:38] <virtuald> i even have to add a modeline to get 1152x864@75Hz on my second monitor
[23:57] <TwoToneSpirit> Hello everyone.  I'm wondering if two users, sitting at different terminals, can use the same instance of X and share the work environment (ie, two cursors and mouse pointers).
[23:58] <TwoToneSpirit> My dream really is to just have one gnome workspace that is shared between two computers - I'd drag stuff there to leave for my girlfriend and she'd do the same for me.  Or we'd work together on that workspace.
