[06:56] <ubotu> New bug: #220887 in xserver-xorg-driver-ati "Radeon M6 / fail to detected the screen on PowerBook3,3" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/220887
[08:23] <tjaalton> bryce_: I'll ask pitti about jockey & wacom, and if it could be possible to get something even for 8.04.1
[08:28] <bryce> tjaalton, ok
[08:28] <bryce> tjaalton: btw I finally packaged up those -ati patches for testers
[08:28] <bryce> tjaalton: looking through the bug tracker, there's a ton of bugs that look like it might fix; I'm requesting people test.
[08:30] <tjaalton> bryce: nice, the number of ati bugs has (almost) gone through the roof :)
[08:30] <bryce> yeah :-/
[08:31] <bryce> I feel kind of bad because I focused most of my hardy triaging time to intel, knowing that drivers like -ati needed attention too. But only so many hours in the day...
[08:32] <tjaalton> yeah.. and I was being selfish about the damn nvidia blob (which I use nowadays, like all the boxes at work..)
[08:32] <bryce> but I am going to focus exclusively on -ati now for a little while and see if I can bring its bug count down too. maybe whatever tricks I learned doing -intel will help
[08:32] <bryce> tormod seems to have been giving -ati some attention though
[08:41] <ubotu> New bug: #220103 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24 (restricted) "Madwifi randomly disconnects and reconnects; causes networkmanager to flood logs" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/220103
[08:43] <tjaalton> I'm also thinking that we shouldn't be _too_ paranoid about pushing fixes in -updates.. things tend to sit in -proposed for way too long. I hope the stable release manager would handle some of the bureaucracy there, or cut it down
[08:56] <ubotu> New bug: #186095 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (main) "hardware destroyed!" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/186095
[09:01] <ubotu> New bug: #189867 in xserver-xorg-driver-nv "enabling fastwrites and SBA" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/189867

[09:20] <ubotu> New bug: #190356 in xserver-xorg-input-mouse (main) "Aquila L1 tablet malfunctioning" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/190356
[09:31] <bryce> tjaalton: that's something I've been worried about myself
[09:32] <bryce> tjaalton: I'll follow your lead in how best to get fixes rolled out to folks, I could definitely use some advice. In the past when I've tried doing SRU's they seem to end up stuck in limbo
[09:36] <bryce> tjaalton: for today's -ati package I would like to get extensive testing before we push patches in it.
[09:38] <tjaalton> bryce: yeah..
[09:38] <tjaalton> I could test it on the r200 I still have
[09:38] <seb128> bryce: don't try to push 15 patches in one SRU, too complex to give that good testing and figure what can create issue for who
[09:38] <bryce> seb128: I wasn't planning to
[09:39] <seb128> ok, just mentionning it in case
[09:39] <bryce> seb128: the combined package is there mainly for ease of testing. If we find it fixes specific bugs, I want to ferret out which patch did the actual fix.
[09:39] <seb128> ok
[09:39] <bryce> presently we have a bunch of patches but don't know what bug id's they might solve.
[09:39] <seb128> there is no reason for SRU to be stucked if there is a testcase and some user can confirm the update fixes the issue
[09:45] <bryce> seb128: well there's more minutia to take care of than that... must set subscribers, bug states, etc. just so, else it gets ignored
[09:46] * bryce wishes for a nice simple "SRU this bad boy" button
[09:46] * bryce . o O (greasemonkey script? hmm)
[09:56] <seb128> bryce: right, the wiki instruction were not nice, I discussed that with pitti and he simplified the page now
[09:56] <seb128> that's basically
[09:56] <seb128> - have a test case
[09:56] <seb128> - attach the debdiff, explain how you fixed the bug
[09:57] <seb128> - subscribe ubuntu-sru
[09:57] <seb128> which is not too complicated
[09:57] <bryce> yeah, now that's straightforward
[09:58] <bryce> maybe pitti has too much german in him? ;-)
[09:58] <seb128> bryce: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates, read the procedure please and let me know if you think that's clear enough
[09:59] <bryce> seb128: yeah I read that after it was updated; it's a lot clearer (still more steps than your nice process, but clearer).
[10:00] <seb128> well, those are basically the same steps but using a verbose description ;-)

[16:56] <seb128> bryce, james_w: the xrandr capplet asking if the settings should be applied or not is buggy, not sure what it the issue but it often doesn't revert when it should
[16:57] <seb128> it's not consistant though, I can get it not working on then working after restarting the capplet in the same session
