| jbailey | fabbione: I have the kernel-package change done here locally. I haven't a clue how to test it. =) | 03:58 |
|---|---|---|
| jbailey | I've tried running the postinst and preinst with the right arguments locally, but I have a feeling that it gets attacked by sed or something on its way into the kernel package. | 03:59 |
| jbailey | Leaving me with the impression that I don't smoke enough weed to do this hack without assistance. | 03:59 |
| jbailey | fabbione: Can you proof the changes I've made? I've touched kernel/image.preinst, kernel/image.postinst and debian/changelog | 04:05 |
| jbailey | fabbione: I've put the files up on chinstrap. If they're all good, can you please use this when uploading -rc6? | 04:05 |
| fabbione | morning | 05:38 |
| jbailey | You're up early. =) | 05:38 |
| fabbione | yeah | 05:38 |
| jbailey | Do you have brain space to look at the kernel-package stuff I put on chinstrap now? | 05:39 |
| jbailey | Otherwise I'm headed off to bed in a moment. =) | 05:40 |
| fabbione | yeah sure | 05:40 |
| fabbione | you could have just uploaded dude :) | 05:40 |
| jbailey | I don't like doing untested uploads. | 05:40 |
| fabbione | it's not like i will get mad at you if you break breezy :) | 05:41 |
| jbailey | True. | 05:41 |
| jbailey | If you'd like, I can debsign and dput. =) | 05:41 |
| fabbione | i am diffing now :) | 05:41 |
| jbailey | 'k | 05:43 |
| jbailey | I've signed my local copy, so if you like I'll dput it. | 05:43 |
| fabbione | go ahead :) | 05:43 |
| fabbione | i will test it to build 12rc6 | 05:43 |
| jbailey | Whoosh, off she goes. | 05:46 |
| jbailey | I've pinged md about module-init-tools, which needs an update for the modalias magic. | 05:46 |
| jbailey | And I think it's now naptime. =) | 05:49 |
| jbailey | g'n =) | 05:49 |
| fabbione | good night jeff! | 05:50 |

| jbailey | Heya Tollef. Happy Birthday. | 01:35 |
| fabbione | hey jbailey | 01:36 |
| fabbione | jbailey: i just finished the build on i386 with the new kernel-package | 01:36 |
| jbailey | Cool! | 01:36 |
| fabbione | downloading the image right now for testing :) | 01:36 |
| jbailey | fabbione: If you could do two tests for me when you've got it? | 01:39 |
| fabbione | Setting up linux-image-2.6.12-1-686 (2.6.11.94-1.1) ... | 01:39 |
| jbailey | Aside from the regular install, try setting ramdisk = foo, and ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd in kernel-img.conf | 01:39 |
| fabbione | Failed to create initrd image. | 01:39 |

| jbailey | fabbione: Ugh. | 01:40 |
| jbailey | What's the perl equivalent of sh -x ? | 01:40 |
| Mithrandir | jbailey: it doesn't have any, sadly. | 01:40 |
| jbailey | Yar. | 01:40 |
| Mithrandir | it has a built-in debugger, though. | 01:41 |
| Mithrandir | I wish it'll grow a -x some day. | 01:41 |
| fabbione | jbailey: i think i know what is wrong.. just a few secs | 01:41 |
| Kamion | Mithrandir: yes it does | 01:46 |
| Mithrandir | Kamion: it does? What's the magic for that? | 01:47 |
| Kamion | PERLDB_OPTS='NonStop AutoTrace' perl -d | 01:48 |
| Mithrandir | oooh, shiny. | 01:48 |
| Kamion | LineInfo=foo to output trace to foo | 01:48 |
| Kamion | see perldebug(1) | 01:48 |
| jbailey | Creepy. =) | 01:48 |
| jbailey | Denis Ritchie said the debugging was twice as hard as coding... And perl is the reference implementation! | 01:49 |
| fabbione | jbailey: white spaces are not an opinion :))))) | 01:49 |
| fabbione | my $ret = system($ramdisk . | 01:49 |
| fabbione | this is your original line | 01:49 |
| fabbione | but it calls a command that doesn't exist | 01:49 |
| fabbione | - my $ret = system("mkinitrd " . | 01:49 |
| fabbione | + my $ret = system($ramdisk . | 01:49 |
| fabbione | note the space AFTER mkinitrd | 01:50 |
| fabbione | my $ret = system($ramdisk . " " . | 01:50 |
| jbailey | Oh, *lol* | 01:50 |
| fabbione | this will ensure a space after the command :) | 01:50 |
| fabbione | and works | 01:50 |
| fabbione | at least... | 01:50 |
| fabbione | let me reboot to see if it really works :) | 01:50 |
| Kamion | or just use system(LIST) rather than system(EXPR) | 01:50 |
| jbailey | fabbione: =) | 01:50 |
| Kamion | although that wouldn't work if $ramdisk can have both command and arguments, I guess | 01:50 |
| fabbione | Kamion: that's Manoj's code :))) | 01:51 |
| fabbione | Kamion: and yes.. there are options after | 01:51 |
| Kamion | ok | 01:51 |
| jbailey | Kamion: It can't, thankfully. =) | 01:51 |
| jbailey | The variable gets ( -e ) 'd in the preinst as a safety check. | 01:52 |
| fabbione | jbailey: so what's the second test you want me to do? | 01:52 |
| jbailey | fabbione: In kernel-img.conf try it with "ramdisk = foo", which should fail the preinst, and "ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd" which is just overriding the default with the default but should work. | 01:52 |
| fabbione | jbailey: sure | 01:53 |
| fabbione | You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version | 01:54 |
| fabbione | 2.6.12-1-686) but you do not seem to have a mkinitrd command in the | 01:54 |
| fabbione | path. This will break the installation, unless initrd-tools are also | 01:54 |
| fabbione | being installed right now. | 01:54 |
| fabbione | Could not find /bin/foo in path. at /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci/preinst line 190. | 01:54 |
| fabbione | The directory /lib/modules/2.6.12-1-686 still exists. Continuing as directed. | 01:54 |
| fabbione | but it doesn't die at preinsta | 01:55 |
| fabbione | clearly you might be bootstrapping the system | 01:55 |
| fabbione | and since the kernel Depends: on mkinitrd | 01:55 |
| fabbione | apt will ensure that mkinitrd is configured before configuring the kernel | 01:55 |
| jbailey | What's the point of the check if it does die? | 01:55 |
| fabbione | it will fail at a later stage in postinst | 01:55 |
| jbailey | doesn't | 01:55 |
| fabbione | that was ramdisk = /bin/foo | 01:56 |
| fabbione | so the preinstall doesn't and actually can't fail | 01:56 |
| fabbione | for the above reasons | 01:56 |
| fabbione | i need to do another test... | 01:57 |
| fabbione | jbailey: it seems to work fine | 02:01 |
| fabbione | with ramdisk = /foo and ramdisk = /usr/sbin/mkinitrd | 02:01 |
| fabbione | and no ramdisk | 02:01 |
| fabbione | (given the little fix in the postinst) | 02:01 |
| fabbione | i am upload kernel-package to fix that error | 02:01 |
| jbailey | Nice, thanks. =) | 02:02 |
| fabbione | * Bump Build-Deps on kernel-package 0.135ubuntu4 to include new postinst | 02:05 |
| fabbione | script to support ramfs. | 02:05 |
| fabbione | does it look sane? ;) | 02:05 |
| jbailey | I'd say "ramfs variable in kernel-img.conf" | 02:06 |
| jbailey | Otherwise I'd expect the gentoo kiddys to come demanding what this new ramfs thing we have is. | 02:06 |
| fabbione | jbailey: perfect :) | 02:07 |
| fabbione | that's what we want | 02:07 |
| fabbione | people being curious of what we do | 02:07 |
| fabbione | and take them out of the dark side of the force | 02:07 |
| jbailey | a'ight. As you see fit. | 02:08 |
| jbailey | At least your name is on the changlog entry. =) | 02:08 |
| fabbione | ahah | 02:08 |
| Kamion | "Add a simple cosmetic change"? dude. :P | 02:13 |
| fabbione | Kamion: i didn't want to make jbailey look stupid for a missing "space" | 02:14 |
| fabbione | come on.. he maintains glibc kernel-headers and half of the toolchain :) | 02:14 |
| jbailey | Kamion: It is simple. It appears to work, versus not appearing to work. Isn't that cosmetic? =) | 02:15 |
| fabbione | if it was somebody else i would have take out the sodomotron and larted him to death :))) | 02:15 |
| jbailey | *lol* | 02:16 |
| Kamion | I'm not sure "LART" is the right verb to use with the sodomotron | 02:16 |
| fabbione | Kamion: today you really want to take out the best of me, don't you? ;) | 02:16 |
| Kamion | unless you're using it in an unconventional way | 02:16 |
| fabbione | i am just trying to be nice :) | 02:16 |
| Kamion | :-) | 02:16 |
| jbailey | My version of a lart has always been a baseball bat with a rusty nail in the end. | 02:17 |
| jbailey | But it always could be a sodomotron, I guess. | 02:17 |
| fabbione | Kamion: admit it! you love when i start yelling at people: "I WILL STICK MY ARM IN YOUR ASS AND SHAKE YOU A FLAG IN THE WIND!" | 02:17 |
| jbailey | fabbione: Do you do that to get them excited or scare them? | 02:18 |
| jbailey | I ask only for information. | 02:18 |
| fabbione | haha | 02:18 |
| fabbione | to scare them :) | 02:18 |
| fabbione | elmo: i have the source for you... | 02:19 |
| fabbione | elmo: my ~ on concordia amd64/linux-source-2.6.12_2.6.11.94-1.1_all.deb | 02:19 |
| fabbione | you should be able to build your ppc64 custom kernel out of it | 02:20 |
| fabbione | the configs are still there if you want to look at them | 02:20 |
| fabbione | davis is still building, so i would appreciate if you can wait to reboot it | 02:20 |
| fabbione | i think i killed Kamion | 02:23 |
| jbailey | We need shirts for the. | 02:25 |
| jbailey | "OMG! I kill Kamion!" | 02:25 |

| fabbione | heheheh | 02:31 |
| elmo | fabbione: for ppc64? | 03:07 |
| fabbione | elmo: yes | 03:09 |
| fabbione | the source is _all :) | 03:09 |

| fabbione | OH CRAP | 04:20 |
| fabbione | no | 04:20 |
| fabbione | i did build it in breezy | 04:20 |
| fabbione | i am not sure you can have all the Depends: in hoary | 04:20 |
| fabbione | jbailey: it's because i cheated on davis just to check the build. it has the old postinst | 04:21 |
| fabbione | elmo: sorry.. i fucked that up.. i will prepare an image for you tomorrow | 04:21 |
| elmo | You are attempting to install an initrd kernel image (version | 04:21 |

| fabbione | elmo: i guess you dist-upgraded all the chroot?? | 04:21 |
| elmo | hum? | 04:21 |
| elmo | no, I was installing that into base | 04:22 |
| fabbione | because that's the error coming from kernel-package ubuntu3 | 04:22 |
| fabbione | hmmm | 04:22 |
| fabbione | it should have told you that you need initrd-tools installed | 04:22 |
| elmo | it did afterwards :) | 04:22 |
| elmo | linux-image-2.6.12-1-powerpc64-smp depends on initrd-tools (>= 0.1.78ubuntu1); however: | 04:23 |
| elmo | Package initrd-tools is not installed. | 04:23 |

| elmo | right, but that message comes from the preinst, I was using just plain dpkg | 04:24 |
| fabbione | elmo: just purge and reinstall the kernel | 04:24 |
| elmo | yeah | 04:24 |
| fabbione | that message should be there only if mkinitrd is not in path | 04:24 |
| elmo | don't worry I was always keeping the old good one ;) | 04:24 |
| fabbione | and it should still recover if mkinitrd tools is installed later | 04:24 |

| elmo | infinity: well, that's what breezy-test is for I guess | 05:53 |
| elmo | we can linux32 the builds, if you want | 05:53 |
| infinity | I just might. Warn me before you upgrade the kernels. | 05:53 |
| infinity | (I've run into issues where sparc64 hosts still needs to be linux32'd on some builds too) | 05:54 |
| infinity | Though, I'd hope those have all been fixed by now. | 05:54 |
| elmo | why? sparc buildds have linux32-ed since day 0 | 05:54 |
| elmo | the worst one is builds that break due to the presence of /lib64 | 05:54 |
| infinity | Yeah, I know the buildds do. | 05:54 |

| Kamion | *choke* | 06:01 |
| elmo | hey.. <random> | 06:31 |
| elmo | would the ability to upload packages purely to be test built be helpful? | 06:31 |
| Kamion | I thought that was a launchpad thing | 06:32 |
| elmo | the world is a launchpad thing | 06:32 |
| fabbione | re | 06:32 |
| fabbione | elmo: rocking!!! | 06:32 |
| elmo | but I'm doing breezy test anyway and we're not using it to rebuild the world, it'd be trivial to add yet another suite to the test archive | 06:33 |
| fabbione | elmo: and yes.. there is an option in .12 for timestamp printk | 06:33 |
| elmo | or heck even just use breezy-test itself | 06:33 |
| fabbione | Kamion: i think the timestamp is done seconds from boot | 06:33 |
| fabbione | Kamion: still better than nothing tho :) | 06:33 |
| fabbione | doko: you joking that ppc64 has been taken out of breezy goals???? | 06:34 |
| fabbione | doko: we got toolchain and kernel.. we need 2 libs and it's there | 06:34 |
| infinity | elmo : Allowing random uploads to a test archive could be very handy, yes. | 06:35 |
| fabbione | Linux davis 2.6.12-1-powerpc64-smp #1 SMP Wed Jun 8 13:16:35 UTC 2005 ppc64 GNU/Linux | 06:35 |
| === fabbione goes and masturbates | ||
| Kamion | BRAIN FLOSS | 06:36 |
| infinity | I doubt you'll ever get that one out. | 06:36 |
| Kamion | NOW, DAMNIT | 06:36 |
| fabbione | elmo: mind if i spin davis for a test??? | 06:36 |
| doko | fabbione: well, it was a hoary goal, but maybe it didn't get added to breezy | 06:37 |
| fabbione | doko: well we did it basically | 06:37 |
| fabbione | so i mean | 06:37 |
| fabbione | it's pointless to stop NOW | 06:37 |
| doko | we just add it again ;) | 06:37 |
| === fabbione gets ready to spin davis | ||
| doko | hmm, what is wrong, if ifup/ifdown hangs forever? | 06:39 |
| fabbione | elmo: btw .12 final should be out next week... so we won't have to wait for too long | 06:40 |
| doko | fabbione, which libs are missing? | 06:40 |
| fabbione | ncurses at least | 06:40 |
| fabbione | doko: basically you can just check the sparc Packages and see which libs are both 23/64 bit | 06:41 |
| fabbione | the same are missing on ppc64 :) | 06:41 |
| daniels | 23-bit? weird | 06:41 |
| fabbione | yeah well :) | 06:41 |
| fabbione | 32 | 06:41 |
| doko | heh, s390 has 31 | 06:42 |
| daniels | elmo: breezy-test> yes, very | 06:42 |
| daniels | elmo: sshing into all the machines, screen'ing, dchroot'ing, etc, and then checking back is a pain in the arse | 06:42 |
| daniels | elmo: double points if all the build logs get emailed to the uploader automatically :) | 06:42 |
| fabbione | elmo: since when davis has 3GB of RAM? | 06:42 |
| doko | fabbione, elmo plugged another CPU as well ;) | 06:43 |
| elmo | fabbione: it should have 4 | 06:43 |
| fabbione | where is the other one? | 06:43 |
| elmo | our porting machines are all meant to be dual proc, 4 Gb memory | 06:44 |
| fabbione | doko: eehhe | 06:44 |
| elmo | fabbione: dunno | 06:44 |
| daniels | fabbione: it's trying to migrate to concordia | 06:44 |
| elmo | I can't remember what 2.6.10 did | 06:44 |
| daniels | because davis isn't cool enough | 06:44 |
| fabbione | elmo: hmm it would be interesting to compare the 2 dmesg from 2.6.10 and 2.6.12 | 06:44 |
| fabbione | elmo: because jbailey noticed a few interesting things in the diff | 06:44 |
| fabbione | but it's definetely going MUCH FASTER | 06:45 |
| elmo | fabbione: ~james/kern.log* | 06:45 |
| elmo | kern.log.0 has a 2.6.10 one by the look of it | 06:45 |
| elmo | fabbione: but critically IS IT CRASHING? :) | 06:45 |
| fabbione | Jun 8 16:17:21 davis kernel: [ 0.000000] Memory hole size: 2048MB | 06:46 |
| fabbione | elmo: not yet.. i just started building the kernel... | 06:46 |
| fabbione | Jun 8 16:17:21 davis kernel: [ 17.212083] Memory: 2972400k/5242880k available (2672k kernel code, 2269804k reserved, 1308k data, 278k bss, 212k | 06:46 |
| fabbione | init) | 06:46 |
| fabbione | Jun 8 16:17:21 davis kernel: [ 17.212238] Calibrating delay loop... 66.56 BogoMIPS (lpj=33280) | 06:46 |
| fabbione | you got the same intersting values as jbailey | 06:47 |
| fabbione | he has a 4GB machine | 06:47 |
| fabbione | and it was reporting 4GB/6GB | 06:47 |
| elmo | lemme, go check the invoice, but I'm 99% sure it's got 4Gb | 06:47 |
| fabbione | still 66.56 Bogo | 06:47 |
| daniels | only 66.56?? dude my laptop is faster than davis wtf | 06:47 |
| === elmo hands daniels the glxgears-as-a-benchmark award | ||
| fabbione | May 14 09:47:41 davis kernel: Memory: 2071296k available (1768k kernel code, 916k data, 364k init, 1310720k highmem) | 06:48 |
| daniels | i bet it scores higher on glxgears too!! | 06:48 |
| fabbione | see 2.6.10 was able to see only 2GB | 06:49 |
| === fabbione larts daniels with a sodomotron | ||
| elmo | actually, sorry my bad | 06:49 |
| elmo | it appears it really only has 2Gb | 06:49 |
| elmo | so, err. | 06:49 |
| fabbione | wtf? | 06:49 |
| elmo | linux appears to be very confused | 06:49 |
| elmo | shall I down the box and check physically when you're done building? | 06:50 |
| fabbione | are you at the datacenter? | 06:50 |
| elmo | yes :-( | 06:50 |
| elmo | IBM ARE TEH SUCK | 06:50 |
| fabbione | i can stop now | 06:50 |
| fabbione | it really fast :) | 06:50 |
| fabbione | ok i am logged out | 06:50 |
| fabbione | i don't want to keep you there forever | 06:50 |
| fabbione | and i can run the build overnight :) | 06:51 |
| infinity | I can't imagine the kernel would just make up an extra gig of RAM. | 06:51 |
| fabbione | infinity: exactly | 06:51 |
| infinity | Well, not without crashing pretty damn soon after boot. | 06:51 |
| infinity | (As soon as it tried to map something in the nonexistant RAM) | 06:51 |
| infinity | On the other hand, PPC kernels since the dawn of time have been infamous for not finding all the RAM lying around in a system. | 06:52 |
| infinity | So my bet would be on 4 gig real, 3 detected. | 06:52 |
| fabbione | infinity: yes that's what i think | 06:52 |
| fabbione | jbailey: you should really check the ram on your machine too | 06:53 |
| infinity | (It could just be 1024+1024+512+512, though, and we're all speculating on a bug that isn't there) | 06:53 |
| fabbione | infinity: right | 06:53 |
| fabbione | that's why elmo is shutting down the machine :) | 06:53 |
| infinity | Heh. | 06:54 |
| elmo | hum, how very confusing | 06:54 |
| elmo | it appears to have 1+1+.5+.5 | 06:55 |
| fabbione | *infinity wins* | 06:55 |
| === infinity ^5s fabbione. | ||
| daniels | gypped | 06:56 |
| infinity | Or, bonus. If the invoice only says 1+1. | 06:56 |
| daniels | oh, look, a bed | 06:57 |
| infinity | Yeah, I keep saying I'm heading off to one of those. | 06:57 |
| infinity | I'll try again. | 06:57 |
| === infinity -> bed, again. | ||
| fabbione | ehhehe | 06:57 |
| elmo | but, err, we paid for 2 | 06:57 |
| elmo | score. | 06:57 |
| fabbione | ++ | 06:57 |
| fabbione | elmo: you should scare the shit out of Mark | 06:58 |
| fabbione | send him an email: "Fabbione's kernels add a GB of RAM on our PPC servers!!!" | 06:58 |
| Kamion | haha | 06:58 |
| Kamion | "... you slack-jawed hippy" | 06:59 |
| fabbione | brb | 07:00 |
| fabbione | elmo: i am going to spin davis to death :) | 07:07 |
| fabbione | let's see how it behaves | 07:07 |
| fabbione | let's start warming it up | 07:09 |
| fabbione | -j100 | 07:09 |
| fabbione | top - 18:14:22 up 13 min, 2 users, load average: 27.38, 16.02, 6.70 | 07:14 |
| fabbione | it doesn't go higher than that! | 07:14 |
| fabbione | the scheduler is really really nive | 07:14 |
| fabbione | nice | 07:14 |
| fabbione | elmo: i will let you know how it goes... | 07:25 |
| fabbione | right now it seems as fast as concordia :) | 07:25 |
| fabbione | i will have to time them | 07:25 |
| fabbione | :) | 07:25 |
| fabbione | elmo: with the ppc64 kernel davis seems much more stable | 08:15 |
| fabbione | 6 falvours no segfaults | 08:15 |
| elmo | fabbione: score | 08:16 |
| fabbione | if we can keep the kernel up for a while i will stress test it tomorrow | 08:17 |
| fabbione | but it looks good | 08:17 |
| elmo | sure, no problem leaving it up for a while; mdz actually wants me to test our binary kernels on at least one of each of our server types anyways | 08:21 |
| elmo | (rather than building my own, Imean) | 08:21 |
| jbailey | fabbione: Check the ram? | 08:26 |
| fabbione | jbailey: forget the ram thing : | 09:03 |
| fabbione | ) | 09:03 |
| fabbione | we figured the kernel was ok | 09:03 |
| jbailey | Lovely. =) | 09:06 |
| elmo | lamont: ? | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | si? | 10:28 |
| elmo | what is it you special cased? | 10:28 |
| elmo | *-test ? | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | yes | 10:28 |
| elmo | hum, special cased how? | 10:28 |
| lamont_r | -cat is also special cased, but believes in rockhopper... | 10:28 |
| elmo | how hard is it to change the special casing and/or add new ones? | 10:29 |
| lamont_r | just a matter of rolling the script, and since infinitiy backed out hte gross hammer-hacks in buildd.conf (no-auto-build), installing a new one is trivial | 10:30 |
| elmo | ok, cool | 10:30 |
| lamont_r | see /usr/sbin/build-chroot on any of the buildd's, and you'll see what special-cased means | 10:30 |
| === lamont_r can tell by the 460 package backlog, that hppa is into the quickly-built packages. :) | ||
