mxpxpoddoes anyone here use the netgear MA111 for wireless network?12:04
mxpxpodI'm having a problem where when I unplug it, /proc disappears12:04

chrisaI need to find a wlan usb adapter that doesn't use wlan ng (ie: no ma111 or dwl-122)12:08
chrisaSo tired of that driver12:08
mxpxpodchrisa: yeah, same here12:08
mjg59chrisa: Currently, that's awkward12:09
mjg59The CVS orinoco driver has support for some USB devices, but I think that's abou tit12:09
mxpxpodchrisa: I think there's one in dongle form that uses prism54 that I've thought about getting12:09
chrisawlan ng wouldn't be so bad if the normal wireless tools worked with it12:10
mxpxpodhmm, it unmounted my /home dir as well12:10
mxpxpodbut if I mount /proc and /home, everything is fine (I think)12:10
chrisaWhat makes you think the driver did this?12:10
mxpxpodchrisa: it's the only thing that does that when I unplug it12:11
chrisaand of course you're watching syslog and messages, rrrrrriiiggght?12:11
mjg59chrisa: We're seeing this with various wireless drivers12:12
mjg59It's very odd12:13
chrisaoh? Neat12:13
jon1012yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh MY HACK OF THE GNOME-PANEL WORKS :D12:14
jon1012oops excuse me :$12:14
jon1012lol12:14
mxpxpodmjg59: hmm, it only happens the first time I insert it12:15
mxpxpodafter I remount everything, it doesn't seem to do it anymoer12:15
mxpxpodwell, except that I can't remount swap, sysfs, tmpfs, or devpts12:16

jon1012humpf why does the had to change the gnome menu systeme in hoary yesterday ? :(12:29
jon1012all my apt database is broken and my gnome menu also :/12:29
TDhi, are there any forum admins here? i don't mean to interrupt but i was browsing them, and i noticed that one of the moderators (!) is consistently posting links to pirate packages of commercial linux software12:31
TDi was wondering who i should speak to about that12:31
mjg59TD: Is that ubuntuforums.org?12:32
TDyeah. not official?12:32
mjg59Nope12:32
mjg59Good thing to LART, though12:32
TDah ok, i see. sorry, the branding made it look like a part of the main ubuntu forum12:32
TDs/forum/site/12:32
mjg59They gateway the mailing lists12:32
jon1012(what software did this administrator post links for ? :/)12:33
TDcrossover and cedega12:33
mxpxpodchrisa: ok, so what am I looking for?12:33
jon1012erf ok :/12:33
TDrussian warez sites12:33
mjg59Grah.12:33
mjg59Asking on #ubuntu might be a better bet12:33
TDk12:33
mjg59I'd expect some of them to hang out there12:33
mjg59Sorry about that :(12:33
jon1012bad, because if people want crossover, they can help and become advocate... :/12:34
jon1012if they want it without paying i mean :)12:34
TDyeah. we practically give it away these days12:34
jon1012yup12:34
jon1012I'm an advocate12:34
jon1012(a proud advocate in fact :p)12:34
TDit's 99.something% LGPL anyway. so it's kind of annoying to see people recommending that newbies warez it.12:34
jon1012sure...12:34
TDcool, what app?12:34
jon1012Photoshop 7 mainly :)12:35
jon1012I'm in a multimedia school, in graphic communication12:35
jon1012crossover is really great :)12:35
TDthanks12:35
jon1012really bad that people want to go to pirate sites for it :(12:36
TDit happens. some of them even try and get tech support.12:36
TDusing linux doesn't magically change (some) human nature, unfortunately12:36
jon1012(they don't understand that they kill wine and crossover doing this)12:36
jon1012yes :(12:36
lamont_rsucky connectivity. :-(12:36
TDi think we'll survive. have done for a fair few years now, and more corporate work is coming in these days. those dudes play it straight12:37
jon1012td > if you want any help, contact me at jondesign@jondesign.net (my advocate adress is jondesign@altern.org, but it's my old adress ^^)12:38
Kamionmxpxpod: lamont has been tracking down the unmounting problem and knows roughly where it is now; it's apparently in one of the udev scripts12:39
TDthanks :)12:39
lamont_rKamion: or at least apparently so.12:39
mxpxpodKamion: oh really... so udev is being a brat12:39
Kamionmxpxpod: /etc/dev.d/default/ somewhere12:39
lamont_rthat is, fixing the script to not generate an error from umount (and therefore exit with an error, appears to make the problem go away12:40
lamont_r /etc/dev.d/default/unmount.dev or so.12:41
lamont_rwrap the whole thing in if [ -n "$DEVICE"] ; then ... fi12:41
lamont_ror whatever the name is...12:41
=== TD [~mike@foghorn.codeweavers.com] has left #ubuntu-devel ["ERC]
mxpxpodlamont_r: that works for me12:44
mxpxpodjust modified it and unplugged then re-plugged my usb device and it doesn't unmount everything12:44
lamont_rwoot12:44
mxpxpodand it's $DEVNAME12:44
mxpxpodlamont_r: have you figured out the problem with udev unmounting /dev before unmounting the drives yet?12:45
lamont_rnow, for extra credit, add an else clause that says 'exit 1'12:45
lamont_rand see if it once again trashes everything... 12:45
lamont_rthat's fixed in 2.12j12:45
lamont_ralthough you want -2, not -1 if you use cryptoloop devices12:45
mxpxpod2.12j?12:46
lamont_r2.12j-212:46
mxpxpodof what?12:46
lamont_rfixed upstream - mount_2.12j-2_${arch}.deb12:46
lamont_rer, for hoary that's mount_2.12j-2ubuntu1_${arch}.deb12:47
mxpxpodlamont_r: ah, gotcha12:47
sid77bye all12:47
lamont_rI don't remember if that fix made todays dinstall run in debian or not, but -2ubuntu1 is certainly in hoary12:47
mxpxpodlamont_r: adding that else doesn't trash everything12:49
lamont_rvery interesting12:50
mxpxpodlamont_r: wait... where did you want that else?12:51
lamont_rKamion: you need things much beyond 1AM (9 minutes from now...)?12:51
lamont_ractually, you'll still have connectivity, it'll just get more sucky.12:51
lamont_rmxpxpod: when $DEVNAME==""12:53
lamont_rthat is, as an else clause for the if that you just added...12:53
Kamionlamont_r: pretty sucks already ... ;)12:53
mxpxpodlamont_r: ok, yeah, that's what I added...12:53
Kamionlamont_r: nah, should go to sleep12:53

calcat least on the ones i have disassembled in the past11:34
thommjg59: right. i think we got a bit handwavy when it came to DSDTs11:34
thomtuo2: it makes red wine taste fucking disgusting11:34
tuo2thom: depends on the initial quality of the wine, mate.11:35
mjg59thom: Every time the user changes the amount of RAM, they need a new DSDT. Every time they upgrade their BIOS, they potentially need a new DSDT.11:35
tuo2And this wasn't real good....11:35
thommjg59: yah11:35
tuo2might be better off killing the palette11:36
calcyou could take all the data that has to be there and plug it into skeleton dsdt so that the code doesn't infringe copyright i suppose11:36
thomtuo2: this is well off topic11:36
tuo2thom: true. Sorry.11:36
thommjg59: like i said, handwavy11:36
calcthe dsdt is generated dynamically by the bios?11:36
calci didn't notice that part when reading the acpi spec, eyes must have glassed over11:37
mjg59calc: It tends to be. The spec doesn't require it.11:37

=== hazmat [~hazmat@c-24-15-10-12.client.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel
robtayloryeah, i suppose the only 2 sane opttions are either a) make dsdt interpreter more robust or b) store a diff for each bios version of each machine (and hope diffs help us avoid the ram issue.. ) :/11:45
robtaylora bunch of diffs would help in either case ;)11:46
calci think it got somewhat more robust after ~ 2.6.611:46
mjg59It did11:46
robtaylorcalc: still doesnt work on my laptop ;)11:46
mjg59But there's a reasonable argument for making it bug-for-bug compatible with Windows11:46
calcmy laptop was completely broken in numerous ways and i filed a bunch of bug reports about it at osdl and len fixed them for me :)11:46
calceg now the acpi ports are reserved by default11:47
calcinstead of getting reused for various things like cardbus11:47
calcmjg59: yep11:47
mjg59But upstream won't do that11:47
calcupstream is slowly doing it ;)11:48
calcas each new device which is broken has bug reports filed about it11:48
mjg59calc: No, they won't make it fully bug-compatible with the Windows stack11:48
calcso they are refusing to fix bugs that are shown in particular hardware now?11:49
robtaylormjg59: well nothing to stop us making a 2.6.x-acpi bitkeeper branch....11:49
mjg59calc: No, that's fine11:50
calcok11:50
calcwell being bug for bug compatible isn't really needed as long as all laptops work under linux ;)11:50
mjg59But they won't alter the interpreter so it behaves brokenly11:50
mjg59And that's the only way to be compatible with Windows11:50
calceventually linux will be bug for bug compatible to be able to attain that goal11:50
=== calc doesn't get it, oh well ;)
elmommph, alt-tab is broken for me11:51
seb128broken in which way ?11:52
=== calc bbl, gone to bed
robtaylorcalc: if you submit a bug. 1st thing you're told is to find a 'fixed' dsdt//11:53

seb128xev even11:54
calcrobtaylor: hmm they never mentioned that to me, linus even emailed me wrt the io port issue ;)11:55
mjg59calc: But that was actually an acpi bug11:55
calcyea, previously they solved the io port issue via quirks for every chipset (gag)11:56
mjg59Whereas on lots of machines the dsdt isn't anywhere near spec-compliant11:56
calcbut my dsdt also was broken in various interesting ways which they worked around11:56
elmoseb128: err, not sure xev seems a bit whack too.. i'll upgrade, then login/logut, and if I can reproduce, come and show you11:56
seb128ok11:56
calci don't remember the exact details since it was about 6mo ago11:56
mjg59calc: There's a limit to the dsdt workarounds you can do that are guaranteed to be safe11:57
calctheir were weird irq issues though11:57
calcer there11:57
mjg59The Windows interpreter allows accesses that are invalid, presumably hoping that the dsdt never actually does something bad with them11:57
calciirc the irq query returned invalid data or something like that11:57
mjg59Linux forbids that11:57

Kamiondid that driver get renamed?05:59
fabbionei understood that there were missing udebs from the lists05:59
fabbioneKamion05:59
fabbionenot that i am aware of05:59
mjg59That driver got renamed, I think05:59
Kamionit's not in 2.6.8.1 either though06:00
mjg59It's 643xx06:00
mjg59(now)06:00

Kamionfabbione: hang on a sec06:03
fabbioneKamion: sure... take all the time you need06:04
fabbionei am trying to figure out an easy path to package the kernel without too much crack06:04
Kamionthey seem to have disappeared in either 2.6.8.1-18 and 2.6.8.1-1906:04
Kamionin fact mv64340_eth disappeared from the .deb at that time, for no reason that's explained in the changelog06:04
fabbioneKamion: i am really sure i didn't change anything in terms of compilation06:05
fabbioneother than adding the udeb generation from linux-source06:05
fabbioneand adding sparc06:05
fabbionebut no config updates or anything took place in 2.6.8.2106:05

=== fabbione needs some crack
mdzelmo: have you grepped for data.tar.gz in katie?06:11
mdzelmo: the python API is such that if you want data.tar.gz, you ask for it by name06:11
mdzelmo: I've fixed the bit where it will abort if it isn't present, and fixed apt-ftparchive contents06:11
mdzelmo: anything else would be a problem external to apt06:11
elmomdz: yeah, I know it does dude, but there was a bit of python-apt that needed fixed :P06:12
mdzelmo: which bit?06:13
mdzthe only problem I found which I thought would affect katie was the check which bombed out if data.tar.gz was missing, in libapt-inst06:14
mdzpython-apt doesn't reference data.tar.gz06:14
elmoRejected: diveintopython_5.4-1ubuntu1_all.deb: deb contents timestamp check failed [exceptions.SystemError: This is not a valid06:14
elmoDEB archive, missing 'data.tar.gz' member] 06:14
elmothat bit in []  doesn't come from katie ...06:15
mdzyep, that's the bit I fixed06:15
elmowell okay, after the : ;P06:15
elmook06:15
mdzso if that's the only error you encountered, we're in good shape06:15
mdzkatie doesn't actually do anything with data.tar.(gz|bz2), right?06:15
elmo"do" how?  it does checks on it06:15
elmoactually, it's just the timestamps check that matters immediately06:16
elmoI'll have to fix the NEW checking stuff too, but that's less critical06:16
mdzah, ok06:20
Kamionfabbione: right, looks like it's just mv64340_eth; if you restore the CONFIG_MV64340_ETH* config entries from 2.6.8.1-19, s/MV64340/MV643XX/g on that, and s/mv64340/mv643xx/g on debian/d-i/powerpc/modules/powerpc/nic-modules, that should do it06:24

Kamionuh. you run kernel-wedge with || true?06:35
fabbioneKamion: isn't the driver built on 2.6.9 at all? afaik it does, but i can double check that06:36
fabbioneKamion: yes, we already discuss it a few days back.06:36
Kamionit's not built at all; you need to change the config06:36

mdzit is not clear whether the bug is in scsi or usb07:41
mdzI am on the CC list for the kernel.org bug; there has been no activity that I saw07:41
Kamionat the moment we are using 2.6.9 in the installer and 2.6.8.1 in the installed system, which is crack07:41
Kamionit will result in hotplug desync07:41
