Updated and Optimized Ubuntu Free Graphics Drivers

[oibaf]

@jsa1983: I backported glamor 0.5.1 (which is the same of what already was there but with a new version number, which is now required anyway by updated ati).

I am posting this from a KDE 4.11 session while admiring kwin's window decorations... so it works. However, the package kde-window-manager requires libwayland0 (>= 1.0.2) and libwayland 1.2 seems to be split across three different libs, none of them libwayland0-1.2, so in order to install kde-window-manager its .deb control file must be edited in order to delete that dependency or to change it to (I assume) libwayland-client0.

Yes, this is why I asked the output of apt-cache rdepends a few posts ago. I'll see to backport that package in my test PPA if you identified the package (not on the main PPA so to not overwrite kde 4.10 package). Which PPA is that package from so that I can backport and recompile from it?

@pali:

And you planning in future add radeonsi support also to precise? Because precise is supported until 2017.

@oibaf: Is there any problem to compile radeonsi also for precise in your ppa?

Yes, the lack of free time

@Vincenzov

Try updating again, maybe it is a problem of a package still not fully build when you updated. If not then complain to who didn't the tests when I asked some days ago

I need the output of:

apt-cache rdepends libwayland0 libwayland-client0 libwayland-server0 libwayland-dev libwayland-cursor0

on your failing system.

Hi!

IIRC it is one of the kde packages from Kubuntu backports, but I'll check that tonight when I get home and will tell you the exact source package. And thanks for updating glamor to 0.5.1. I saw that dependency yesterday after Michael's post about glamor being enabled in the ati DDX.

@Vincenzov: thanks, you should remove weston, I tried rebuilding it in my test PPA, but the version currently in Debian does not build with Wayland 1.2. As soon as an updated version will be released I'll backport it. Why do you installed it, BTW? EDIT: I suppose you installed it but there is no proof you did, indeed, you should try to see what package requires the 1.0.5 Wayland that prevents upgrading to 1.2.

I get the same error message... libgtk-3-0 seems to depend on it?

Ah, I did a

sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-client0_1.2.1-1~r~gd_amd64.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-server0_1.2.1-1~r~gd_amd64.deb

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-cursor0_1.2.1-1~r~gd_amd64.deb

and it seems to install fine.

I get the same error message... libgtk-3-0 seems to depend on it?

 libgbm1 : Depends: libwayland-client0 (>= 1.2.1) but it is not going to be installed
           Depends: libwayland-server0 (>= 1.2.1) but it is not going to be installed

 libgtk-3-dev : Depends: libwayland-dev (>= 1.0.0) but it is not going to be installed
.

I updated yesterday gtk+3.0 packages, that should then depends on libwayland-client0, not libwayland0, probably you just did the update when the new wayland was built, but still not the updated gtk+3.0 packages. If someone has the same problem, should just do a sudo apt-get update and then dist-upgrade again.

@jsa1983

Thanks, the updated kde-workspace packages are building now in a new PPA, see the notes I added at https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers

If they build fine (try in a hour) adding this PPA should make kde 4.11 properly work again. This will break again however if/when kubuntu PPA updates this package, so let me know and I'll do a rebuild again.
