[08:22:10] <lair82> Good Morning Guys, Does anyone know how to go about creating an xorg.conf file on the current debian wheezy build?
[08:23:19] <lair82> I have been skimming the debian wiki and keep coming up with faults and errors, didn't know if anyone had done this and it would have been easier just to ask here.

[10:51:12] <seb_kuzm1nsky> good morning
[10:51:28] <cradek> hello
[10:54:51] <skunkworks> this branch fixes the XY config constraint violation issue https://github.com/robEllenberg/linuxcnc-mirror/tree/feature/spiral-arc-handling
[10:55:12] <skunkworks> (tested it on realtime - rob tested it on sim)
[10:55:16] <seb_kuzminsky> cool!
[10:57:12] <seb_kuzminsky> is this a pretty focused branch or does it have a bunch of unrelated changes in it?
[10:57:25] <seb_kuzminsky> is it (in rob's opinion & yours) ready to merge into 2.7?
[10:57:47] <skunkworks> well this is what he said "
[10:57:47] <skunkworks> It has a bunch of things in addition to a candidate fix for 2-axis machines, including better handling of spiral-shaped arc segments, and a crude warning system for the interpreter. It's passed all my automated tests on a sim build, so I'd be interested to know what it does on an RT build. "
[10:58:16] <skunkworks> So - I don't know if he had been following along with your spiral conversation..
[10:59:27] <seb_kuzminsky> hmm
[11:01:22] <cradek> it looks like 10 commits, all? about spirals
[11:01:28] <cradek> have not gone through them yet
[11:03:38] <seb_kuzminsky> i cound 45 commits
[11:03:41] <seb_kuzminsky> *count
[11:03:54] <cradek> oh hmm
[11:04:11] <cradek> I'm still trying to get it fetched
[11:05:09] <skunkworks> I get about that too (45) https://github.com/robEllenberg/linuxcnc-mirror/compare/feature/spiral-arc-handling
[11:05:28] <skunkworks> oh - it says 45 at the top..
[11:05:32] <seb_kuzminsky> it conflicts with dewey's arc-tolerance-in-ini patch, but that's ok
[11:05:39] <skunkworks> why was I counting them...
[11:05:39] <seb_kuzminsky> git log --oneline rob-ellenberg/2.7..rob-ellenberg/feature/spiral-arc-handling | wc -l
[11:05:42] <seb_kuzminsky> 45
[11:06:16] <seb_kuzminsky> i like reading rob's patches, they're clean and easy to follow
[11:07:20] <cradek> - if (!tcPureRotaryCheck(tc) && (tc->synchronized != TC_SYNC_POSITION)){
[11:07:23] <cradek> + if (!tcPureRotaryCheck(tc) && (tc->synchronized == TC_SYNC_VELOCITY)){
[11:07:49] <seb_kuzminsky> although the branch needs cleanup... commits like this should be squashed out:
[11:07:52] <cradek> I'm surprised by this in the first commit
[11:07:52] <seb_kuzminsky> https://github.com/robEllenberg/linuxcnc-mirror/commit/68d38c7a8a58361164b5b63c4498fe86759d5e4a
[11:08:12] <seb_kuzminsky> hmm yeah
[11:10:25] <cradek> it's changed back later
[11:16:09] <cradek> and then changed back the other way later yet
[11:16:52] <cradek> what do you think of the idea of interpreter warnings at load time?
[11:22:08] <seb_kuzminsky> there are only two valid TC_SYNC enums, so the diff you pointed out isn't as crazy as it first looks
[11:23:10] <seb_kuzminsky> and that check actually meant to apply to velocity mode only, so the new check is more clear
[11:24:28] <skunkworks> Rob is still my man crush...
[11:24:38] <skunkworks> sorry guys...
[11:24:40] <seb_kuzminsky> heh
[11:24:40] <cradek> I wonder if d97b971 can be moved to the beginning and put in 2.6
[11:24:59] <cradek> skunkworks: you're fickle that way. it used to be me.
[11:25:34] <cradek> skunkworks: (think I'll not list mine here)
[11:26:17] <skunkworks> well - you where rob V1...
[11:27:41] <skunkworks> *were
[11:28:48] <seb_kuzminsky> cradek: re d97b971, probably not? since 2.6 doesnt have the new tp. but maybe that commit changes things that didn't change with the new tp?
[11:29:22] <seb_kuzminsky> (also, wow you read fast)
[11:29:24] <cradek> oooh jeez that was stupid
[11:29:32] <cradek> forget it
[11:29:36] <cradek> no wonder sam has moved on
[11:30:28] <seb_kuzminsky> heh
[11:30:43] <seb_kuzminsky> i like the explanation of their hairy math in 9dfdb03
[11:31:07] <seb_kuzminsky> now *cradek* is proposing merging the new tp into 2.6
[11:31:10] <seb_kuzminsky> what has the world come to
[11:32:18] <skunkworks> it isn't? ;)
[11:36:31] <seb_kuzminsky> it's a bit jarring to have the mix of CamelCase and snake_case in tp, but i'm not goint to fuss about it
[11:38:26] <seb_kuzminsky> :q
[11:38:27] <seb_kuzminsky> oops
[11:38:32] <cradek> yes that's a revered tradition
[13:30:23] <seb_kuzminsky> i get 2 failures from runtests in rob ellenberg's spiral-arc-handling test
[13:30:30] <seb_kuzminsky> interp/bad and interp/plug
[13:30:34] <seb_kuzminsky> haven't looked in to it yet
[13:30:55] <seb_kuzminsky> (hoping rob will, instead of me)
[13:44:27] * skunkworks should run the run tests... I get the same errors.
[13:48:32] <seb_kuzminsky> i wonder if it'd be useful for us to have SAM, like we have SAI
[13:48:55] <skunkworks> stand alone machine?
[13:49:20] <seb_kuzminsky> motion
[13:51:55] <seb_kuzminsky> it would eat canon commands (in a format like what sai emits) and emit a time series of axis positions
[14:05:44] <skunkworks> seb_kuzminsky, all the run test pass on simulator build...
[14:06:55] <mozmck> seb_kuzminsky: what would the benefit of that be?
[14:07:11] <cradek> you could use it to write regression tests
[14:07:13] <mozmck> maybe allow motion to be replaced more easily?
[14:07:18] <cradek> of motiony things
[14:08:18] <seb_kuzminsky> skunkworks: i got my two failures in a uspace build on a vanilla kernel
[14:08:38] <skunkworks> I got the two failures on the rtai build.
[14:08:47] <skunkworks> I guess rob should know :)
[14:08:52] <skunkworks> *be told
[14:09:38] <skunkworks> I did --enable-simulator on my laptop. is that not the way to do it anymore?
[14:11:25] <seb_kuzminsky> skunkworks: in 2.7, instead of --enable-simulator you say --with-realtime=uspace
[14:11:46] <seb_kuzminsky> i think it still accepts --enable-simulator, and prints a warning that quickly scrolls off the top of the screen
[14:12:15] <seb_kuzminsky> mozmck: motion is a big, important component of linuxcnc, but we have basically no tests that tell us if we break it, and that's bad
[14:12:48] <seb_kuzminsky> i've been thinking about how to test it, and started a little bit in the branch called "motion-tests"
[14:13:39] <seb_kuzminsky> it's pretty awkward, because currently the only way to run motion is in a realtime machine config, and the test can't easily run in realtime, in lockstep with motion
[14:14:10] <seb_kuzminsky> so there's this gross hack of running halsampler to record what motion does, then analyzing it in userspace after linuxcnc is done
