Hello Daniel, or anyone else affected, Accepted nvidia-prime into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia- prime/0.5~hybrid0.0.3 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 . Thank you in advance! ** Description changed: SRU request: Please accept nvidia-prime (0.5~hybrid0.0.3) into precise-proposed. [Rationale] The fix . [Impact] Without this work, X will fail to start in some cases (see the "Full Explanation" section) on systems with hybrid graphics (Intel/NVIDIA). [Test Case] 1) Install the update on a hybrid system with Intel/NVIDIA GPUs 2) Make sure that the system can boot and that X doesn't fail. [Regression Potential] Low. Thanks to this fix, the xorg.conf, if anything, will have greater chances to work. - [Full Explanation] The BusID string created by prime-xconfig could be incorrect in any of the following cases: a) Any numeric component of the bus ID is greater than 9: prime-xconfig will write a hexadecimal value, but X will parse it as decimal. - b) The system has more than one PCI domain: `lspci -n` will show the PCI domain, which is normally hidden on systems with a single PCI domain. This breaks the formatting assumptions made by nv_get_id() about which fields are in which position. + b) The system has more than one PCI domain: `lspci -Dn` will show the PCI domain, which is normally hidden on systems with a single PCI domain. This breaks the formatting assumptions made by nv_get_id() about which fields are in which position. Besides the potential correctness issues, the generated BusID string is missing the following recommended (but optional) information: a) Bus type. According to xorg.conf(5) this should be "PCI:" b) PCI domain: omission of this field could lead to problems on systems with multiple PCI domains A patch against nvidia-prime 0.5.5 from Trusty is attached. The version on github seems to be behind that version by quite a bit. ** Changed in: nvidia-prime (Ubuntu Precise) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1282796 Title: prime-xconfig can write an invalid BusID string To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-prime/+bug/1282796/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
