queuetueHi, all.  I've got a running ubuntu hoary Athlon system, and I pulled the drives and put them into a new Athlon 64 system... and the disks get errors - buffer I/O on logical block 0...  I can boot the system with DSL cd just fine, and mount, fsck, manipulate the disks just fine, no errors.  But I try to boot ubuntu, and the disk errors come back.  Does anyone have a clue?04:15
Burgundaviaqueuetue, #ubuntu for help please04:16
queuetueActually, I tried there first, and I thought it might take someone at the developer level  to answer the question...  But if it's not possible to get help here, I'll go elsewhere.04:17
Mithrandirwhen the kernel has started loading or at the grub stage?04:19
queuetueMithrandir, After loading - Immediately after "starting Ubuntu" or "Welcome to Ubuntu"... Forget exact string.04:20
Mithrandirok04:21
Mithrandirsounds like a kernel bug.04:21
Mithrandirwhat kind of motherboard do you have?04:21
queuetueMSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI04:22
queuetue(It's Nforce 4 SLI based, if that helps)04:23
Mithrandirhmm04:23
Mithrandirothers report they have it working "with a little work", which can mean _anything_04:24
queuetueMithrandir, WHat direction would that work take?  I don't mind experimenting, but I'm at a loss as to where I should even start.04:25
Mithrandirqueuetue: I'd try booting with acpi=off, noapic, nolapic and any combination of those04:25
Mithrandiralso, does the 32 bit live CD work?04:26
queuetueMithrandir, I don't have on on hand, and no cd-burner (excet the one on the MSI) so I can't check atm.04:26

queuetueMithrandir, Ok, can you point me towards some topics to research?  (if not, good trip!)04:34
Mithrandirqueuetue: I think there might be some stuff on the wiki -- wiki.ubuntu.com04:34
Mithrandirsorry about not being more specific.04:34
danielsin general, nforce4 seems to be fine04:34
danielsi've never had a problem with my nf4-sli board04:35
queuetuedaniels, Would it matter that this is an install that started on 32-bit and then the disks were migrated?04:36

=== mroth [~mroth@mroth.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel
danielsit is in theory04:39
danielsi've never tried it04:39
queuetuedaniels, Any way  you can think of for me to install a "proper" amd64 kernel withotu being able to boot (although can access disks fine from DSL)04:40
queuetueCould I just chroot an use apt?04:41
danielsyeah, you could just chroot04:41
queuetueHow do people even *work* on windows machines? :)04:42
queuetueThe lack of flexibility mus be stifling.04:42

zygahey everyone :)09:34
robitaillehi!09:35
zygawow, new firefox security edition is out09:35
zyga1.0.309:35
robitaillea new firefox means a lot of questions in the mailing list:  "where is Firefox 1.0.3 in Hoary?".  Similar to Warty and Firefox 1.009:37
Burgundaviaalready seen a few09:39
Burgundaviaalmost makes it enough to just put it there, just to make them be quiet09:39
zygais hoary going to get it as a part of hoary-updates?09:39
desrt'security edition'?09:39
zygadesrt: bugfix release really09:39
zygahttp://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html09:39
desrtheh09:39
robitailleI believe most of the bug fixes in 1.0.3 are already in Hoary's firefox (from a comment from Thom a while back)09:40
zygapretty ugly bugs were fixed09:40
desrtholy crap09:40
desrtjavascript has lambda?09:40
zygadesrt: err.. no?09:40
Burgundaviarobitaille, then bumb the number, just to make people happy09:40
desrtit does09:40
desrthttp://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2005-33.html09:40
desrtor at least the mozilla people think it does :)09:40
zygadesrt: I'm reading that ATM09:41
zygadesrt: I think they mean something different than what you and I think ;] 09:41
zygaanonymous function09:41
desrti mean the lambda that ...09:41
zygahmm okaaay ;] 09:41
desrtya. that's the lambda i mean09:41
zyga:)09:41
=== zyga mistook lambda for closure
desrti don't imagine you get partial application with javascript :P09:42
desrtalthough you can use lambda as a basis for closures09:42
zygadesrt: partial application?09:42
desrt\x -> func arg x09:42
desrtya.. say like you have some function09:42
desrtplus x y = x + y09:42
zygaah09:42
desrtyou can partially apply it09:43
zygalet's use lisp notatnion - it's easier to read09:43
desrt(ie: give it a single argument09:43
desrt(plus 2)09:43
desrtthen you have a function that takes 1 argument and adds 2 to it09:43
zygadesrt: that's a closure, no?09:43
desrtthe act of giving 1 argument to a 2-argument function (and in general, n arguments to an m-argument function n<m) is called partial application09:43
desrtand it's a way of generating closures09:44
=== pitti [~martin@box79162.elkhouse.de] has joined #ubuntu-devel
zyga:-)09:44
zygaI see, I didn't know that term but I understand the thing it does09:44
desrtso, the idea is that any language that has lambda supports partial application09:44
desrtsay you have some function f x y09:44
desrtyou might not be able to say (f 5)09:44
desrtbut you can always say \y -> f 5 y09:44
zygaand call the result that with the remaining argument09:44

zygatoo bad it does not include the patch that fixes the infamous slashdot bug ;-)09:47
robitaillezyga,  you can always download and use a vanilla firefox if you want; it's pretty easy to install09:47
zygarobitaille: I like gnome integration :>09:47
robitaillezyga,  I do as well, that's why for Hoary I use Ubuntu's firefox.  For Warty, I wanted 1.0, so I was using my own then09:48

bluefoxicy801M, 184M08:36
=== bluefoxicy closes abiword and suddenly uses about 600 megs less swap.
bluefoxicyyeah I'm gonna call that a problem with the allocator08:37
bluefoxicy 3772 bluefox   15   0  183m  79m  19m S  0.0 10.7   0:04.75 abiword08:38
bluefoxicyclosed abiword, then reopenned with the same file08:38
zygabluefoxicy: could you compile abiword with debug and run it via valgrind?08:39
bluefoxicyzyga:  no, I have work in 20 minutes.08:39
zygabluefoxicy: ok08:39
bluefoxicyzyga:  but I believe that a lot of memory issues stem from the fact that I'm practically the only person I know of that actually understands that the design of the heap is a really bad idea08:40
zygabluefoxicy: ?08:40
zygabluefoxicy: why08:40
bluefoxicyand red hat (who controlls glibc and thus mallo()) doesn't care08:40
bluefoxicyzyga:  because if you allocate a ton of memory, then free most of it, except one byte at the end, you hold a ton of memory, as the heap is defined by start and length only08:40
bluefoxicythe heap can't be fragmented in allocation; it's one big block.08:41
bluefoxicyand thus, those unused areas will eventually get swapped out.08:41
zygabluefoxicy: hmm not so sure, are you confident that how it works?08:41
bluefoxicythen when you allocate again, you just swap them back in because thankfully glibc's allocator doesn't just infinitely allocate more08:41
bluefoxicyzyga:  I've tested it08:41
bluefoxicylemme find a test program.08:41
zygabluefoxicy: It's easier to check the source08:42
zygabluefoxicy: don't we have a slab allocator?08:42
bluefoxicyzyga:  not that allocator, the userspace allocator.08:43
bluefoxicythe kernel allocator handles physical->virtual mappings08:43
bluefoxicythe userspace allocator handles getting memory from the kernel and using it in such a way that it doesn't just eat up 40 gigs of RAM08:43
=== zyga thought that slab allocator was in userspace too
zygaerr but it's rather hard to believe that the us allocator is so dumb ;] 08:44
zyga(not that I really know)08:44
bluefoxicyzyga:  it uses brk(), except if an allocation is >128KiB it makes an mmap() segment08:44
zygammap is okay608:44
bluefoxicyit would be better to use say 4-20 meg mmap() segments as mini heaps so that when they empty out you can just free them back to the system08:44
bluefoxicyyou can't just use mmap() for everything because it always maps full pages08:45
bluefoxicyi.e. mmap()ing 5 bytes maps in 4096 bytes (think of fat, and small files, and you'll get it)08:45
zygabluefoxicy: well personally I don't assume I'm working with a perfect allocator and keep small stuff in their own allocation blocks08:45
zygabluefoxicy: I know how that works08:46
bluefoxicyI know08:46
bluefoxicyunfortunately using a huge block has problems, i.e. firefox starts at 40M and grows to 100, and stays there no matter what08:46
bluefoxicyor if you delete 6000 files in nautilus, it allocates 330M of memory to store information about what it's about to do08:46
bluefoxicythen it frees down to 300 instead of back to the usual 20M that it uses08:47
zygawell simple likned list of blocks that feeds a custom allocator is simple08:47
bluefoxicybut if it needs another 200 or so megs it's already allocated; most of that 300M is just empty space in the heap08:47
bluefoxicyproblem being it's empty allocated space that should be going back to the system, not to swap after 10 minutes08:47
zygabluefoxicy: I know little about how kernel works in this regard (overallocation)08:49
zygabluefoxicy: but you do have a point08:50
zygabluefoxicy: but ...08:51
=== Baby [~nena@baby.kavi.silver.supporter.pdpc] has joined #ubuntu-devel
zygabluefoxicy: isn't is then possible to have a custom allocator that knows about 128KiB stiupiditity and always maintains chunks in mmaped pages08:51
bluefoxicyhttp://rafb.net/paste/results/1pgZrc68.html08:51
zygabluefoxicy: then spitting them out as a page becomes empty?08:52
zyga(not that I care about performace for a moment)08:52
zyga(alhorightm performace that is)08:52
zygabluefoxicy: dropping heap holder...?08:53
bluefoxicyzyga:  problem being that if you simply mmap() a segment for every allocation, you allocate a 4096 byte page when you need a 60 .  You have to mmap() a small-ish area of a fair size, and use that as a heap, then scrap it when it empties.08:53
zygawhat does that mean?08:53
bluefoxicyzyga:  one byte at the end of the heap.08:53
zygabluefoxicy: I dont want to mmap everything08:53
zygabluefoxicy: mmap -> list of blocks per allocated maps 08:53
bluefoxicyzyga:  I malloc() like http://rafb.net/paste/results/B1ug1b73.html08:53
bluefoxicy25600 segments, then 100 bytes at the end08:54
zygabluefoxicy: smart08:54
bluefoxicythen I free the 25600 segments out of the heap, which now has abotu 100M of unused memory in it08:54
zygabluefoxicy: and shows the point08:54
bluefoxicybut the heap can't brk() down08:54
zygabluefoxicy: so let's change that ok?08:54
bluefoxicyUU----------------------------U08:54
zygabluefoxicy: we'll use a custom allocator on top of mmap08:54
bluefoxicyzyga: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17154708:54
bluefoxicyzyga:  exactly :)08:54
zygabluefoxicy: just say one thing to me - is there any limit to number of mapped pages? (per user)08:55
=== hypno [dan@koneko.dark-side.thinkgeek.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-devel
zygabluefoxicy: I once did a test08:55
bluefoxicyzyga:  Depending on security setup and system limits there is08:55
zygabluefoxicy: I've mapped one gig file, each page on it's own08:55
zygabluefoxicy: I could not get more than 10 pages 08:55
bluefoxicywli reports that the kernel can handle millions of mappings, more than a 32 bit CPU can actually account for managable ram08:55
bluefoxicywithout slowing down at all08:55
zygabluefoxicy: mapping the whole file with one call worked08:55
bluefoxicyheh08:55
zygabluefoxicy: I would gladly repeat that test :)08:56
zygaand re-run your test with a small custom allocator (with malloc interface of course)08:56

bluefoxicyzyga:  :) perhaps I should make a quick Ubuntu bug08:57
bluefoxicythat points at that bug08:57
zygabluefoxicy: I'm still reading your bugreport08:58
zygabluefoxicy: but ... isn't this a generic bug?08:58
zygabluefoxicy: why gnome?08:58
zyga(why ubuntu for that matter)08:58
zygacreate a small library with malloc free calloc and realloc 08:58
zygaand LD_PRELOAD it or something08:59
bluefoxicybecause gnome devs get hard-ons over using less memory08:59
zygabluefoxicy: I've seen that memory wiki - it's a great idea 08:59
lsuactiafnerok ppl, anyone here running ubuntu-5.04-install-amd64.iso? the kernel in 5.04 doesnt run my hardware setup, and i need someone to compile me a kernel, i got a .config for my system already, but am running 32bits and i dont want to cross-compile08:59
zygalsuactiafner: hmm I guess you should ask in #ubuntu09:00
lsuactiafneri did, they seem useless.09:00
zygabluefoxicy: BTW: how does new get it's memory? via malloc?09:00
dhonnlsuactiafner, you can compile your kernel under any linux distro09:01
lsuactiafnerand btw the lilo package installation in ubuntu-5.04-install-amd64.iso doesnt work09:01
lsuactiafnerdhonn : you cant compile a 64 bit kernel while running a 32 bit system with no cross compiler09:01
zygalsuactiafner: grub works okay (/me hugs big amd box)09:01
dhonnyou can09:02
dhonnget the compiler09:02
lsuactiafnerdhonn : with a cross-compiler... and i do not want to mess with gcc 09:02
zygabluefoxicy: is there any convenient .tar.gz with your tests?09:02
bluefoxicywork time09:02
bluefoxicyzyga:  download the link I showed with the source as text.09:02
dhonnwhat kernel works for you and what linux distro?09:02
lsuactiafnerzyga : lilo is better than grub09:02
zygabluefoxicy: msg me when you finish work please09:03
lsuactiafneri use slackware 2.6.11, some options in the ubuntu kernel conflicts with my hardware.09:03
dhonnjust copy the kernel over to ubuntu09:03
lsuactiafnerslackware 10.1 but kernel 2.6.11-409:03
zygalsuactiafner: I see09:03
dhonnand copy the /lib/modules/*09:04
lsuactiafnerdhonn : a 32bit kernel WILL NOT run binaries compiled for 64bit09:04
dhonnget the 64bit kernel from slack09:04
dhonnlsuactiafner, you say the slack 64 kernel works for you?09:05
lsuactiafneri'm running slackware in 32bit mode.09:05
dhonndamn09:05
lsuactiafnerslackware 10.1 is 32bit, patrick didnt like some nasty bugs with 64bit systems09:05
dhonnis there a 64bit kernel disto that works for you09:05
lsuactiafnerno. thats why i need someone currently running a 64bit system to compile me a kernel that will work for me, i got a .config file that will work09:06
