[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1349282] Re: The gpu-manager should allow RandR offloading without bbswitch
This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.91.7 --- ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.91.7) trusty-proposed; urgency=medium * gpu-manager.c, gpu-manager.py: - Add support for testing core alternatives. This will be needed by fglrx. - Fix a regression that caused the gpu-manager to switch to mesa after enabling fglrx on hybrid systems (LP: #1310489). Also add a test case so that we don't regress in the future. - Check that either fglrx or nvidia is set in xorg.conf when xorg.conf is needed. - Check if kernel modules are blacklisted before choosing the driver (LP: #1310489). - Enable only GPUs with open drivers that have connected outputs. Attaching to GPUs that have no connected outputs would result in a black screen. - Allow RandR offloading even without bbswitch (LP: #1349282). - Fall back to mesa when failing to enable prime. - Do not try to enable prime if the nvidia driver is older than 331. - Do not abort if the settings for prime cannot be found. Try to create the file before failing. -- Alberto Milone alberto.mil...@canonical.com Fri, 29 Aug 2014 11:29:55 +0200 ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu Trusty) Status: Fix Committed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349282 Title: The gpu-manager should allow RandR offloading without bbswitch Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-settings” source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: SRU Request While bbswitch may fail on some hybrid systems (e.g. on the desktop or when the bbswitch module fails to build), this is not a good reason to prevent the system from offloading rendering to the NVIDIA GPU.

Hello Alberto, or anyone else affected, Accepted ubuntu-drivers-common into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /ubuntu-drivers-common/1:0.2.91.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository. Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-drivers-common - 1:0.2.98 --- ubuntu-drivers-common (1:0.2.98) utopic; urgency=medium * gpu-manager.c, gpu-manager.py: - Add support for testing core alternatives. This will be needed by fglrx. - Add the --backup-log parameter. This is only used for debugging and disabled by default. - Fix a regression that caused the gpu-manager to switch to mesa after enabling fglrx on hybrid systems (LP: #1310489). Also add a test case so that we don't regress in the future. - Check that either fglrx or nvidia is set in xorg.conf when xorg.conf is needed. - Check if kernel modules are blacklisted before choosing the driver (LP: #1310489). - Enable only GPUs with open drivers that have connected outputs. Attaching to GPUs that have no connected outputs would result in a black screen. - Allow RandR offloading even without bbswitch (LP: #1349282). - Fall back to mesa when failing to enable prime. - Do not try to enable prime if the nvidia driver is older than 331. - Do not abort if the settings for prime cannot be found. Try creating the file before failing. - Avoid false positives of unloaded modules. - Use the cleanup attribute. - Always use snprintf instead of sprintf. -- Alberto Milone alberto.mil...@canonical.com Wed, 27 Aug 2014 10:39:17 +0200 ** Changed in: ubuntu-drivers-common (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1349282 Title: The gpu-manager should allow RandR offloading without bbswitch Status in “nvidia-settings” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: The gpu-manager should allow RandR offloading without bbswitch.
