[01:57] <robertknight> Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask.  There is a confirmed Ubuntu Dapper x.org radeon driver bug which is causing my system to lock up frequently, an updated version of the driver with the fix has been made available upstream.  How could I get this upstream fix into Dapper?
[01:58] <Burgwork> robertknight: is it fixed in edgy?
[01:58] <robertknight> It is fixed in edgy, but the fix has also been backported to the branch of X.org being used by Ubuntu Dapper.
[01:59] <zul> why not upgrade to edgy then?
[01:59] <robertknight> I do not want to upgrade my laptop to Edgy because I would prefer a stable / "safe" Ubuntu.
[02:01] <zul> edgy is pretty stable
[02:01] <pygi> zul, depends for who
[02:01] <pygi> we've seen a lot of weird problems
[02:02] <robertknight> I have Edgy on my desktop PC, but I do not want to upgrade my laptop.
[02:03] <robertknight> Besides, Dapper is supposed to be supported for 5 years, so I think that a fix for such a critical bug would be accepted.
[02:04] <robertknight> The bug in question is #16873
[02:05] <robertknight> My question really is who do I need to talk to if I want to raise the profile of a bug and get a fix made available.
[02:09] <robertknight> If it will help swing the deal I would be happy to make a donation to Ubuntu :)
[02:09] <crimsun> robertknight: your laptop uses the server install?

[02:10] <robertknight> What do you mean by "server install"?
[02:10] <crimsun> robertknight: only the server installation is supported for 5 years; the desktop installation is supported for 3.
[02:10] <robertknight> Ah.  Well Dapper is under 3 years old :)
[02:12] <robertknight> Either way, I'm hoping that for someone who is used to building Debian packages for Xorg drivers, this will not take very much of their time.  It is just a bit beyond me.
[02:14] <crimsun> I presume the patch in question is http://people.freedesktop.org/~airlied/radeon_rn50_memmap.diff ?
[02:16] <robertknight> Yes, but that patch applies to X.org 7.1.  The code has changed quite a bit since the 7.0 release which Dapper uses, so I couldn't just apply the patch to the source package.  As I said, the fixes have been backported to the X.org 7.0 branch for that driver.
[02:17] <crimsun> can you isolate the svn changesets?
[02:19] <robertknight> X.org uses git primarily I thought, but I think the relevant commits occurred somewhere amongst this lot: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati.git;a=log;h=654b1a65c7d093793d15961422c2606ec2bc744a
[02:21] <robertknight> There are lots of other useful commits in there though as well to fix periodic corruption in some apps for example.  Ubuntu is specifically mentioned in a recent fix.
[02:23] <crimsun> X.Org and its drivers are not my strong area (I'm an ALSA type), so I feel very uncomfortable applying dpatches without hardware on which to test
[02:24] <crimsun> I'm certainly willing to assist in pushing through an SRU if the diffs are isolated and verified correct
[02:24] <crimsun> in otherwords, if you can confirm with Dave/Ben which precise git changesets need to be applied, please list them in the bug report, and I'll help push through the SRU for dapper-updates
[02:28] <robertknight> Which 'Dave' are you referring to?
[02:29] <crimsun> Airlie.
[02:29] <crimsun> I'm subbed to the bug, so as long as updates are also piped there, I'll see them.

[01:29] <cbx33> that worked fine

[08:18] <Ornedan> Anyone know about progress on bug 68053?

[08:28] <seb128> Ornedan: look at the comments on the bug
[09:23] <Ornedan> seb128: I did. And as far as I can tell, no progress is being made
[09:23] <seb128> Ornedan: so you have your reply
[09:27] <Ornedan> Ha. Ha. Let me rephrase the question, then. "Does anyone here have knowledge about bug 68053 that has not been posted onto the bug page? Specifically, is it ever going to be fixed in the repository and/or will packages of the previous version of Eclipse be made available again so that people may rollback?"
