JaneWhello08:36
=== JaneW tries to be more in time for fabbione today...
fabbioneJaneW: eheh don't worry my far far away lovely lady :)08:38
fabbionei don't think i will upload a kernel today08:38
fabbionefor 3 reasons:08:38
fabbione1) it's friday and you never break stuff on friday08:38
fabbione2) in 7 hours i will start my holidays08:39
fabbione3) i won't be able to test all the changes before 208:39
=== desrt is reminded
fabbioneJaneW: speaking of 2).. i need somebody to take care of my students....08:39
fabbionehey desrt 08:39
desrt'sup?08:40
fabbionedesrt: did you grab my patch for gentoovision?08:40
desrtoh no08:40
desrtwhere is it?08:40
fabbionehttp://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/gentoovision_random_o.diff08:40
desrtoo08:40
fabbionechangelog:08:40
fabbione* add first cut for randomization08:40
fabbione* compile with gcc-snapshot08:40
fabbione* use random -O to break the code better08:40
fabbione* reduce the compile time to 200ms08:41
fabbionei mean.. they RUN FAST!08:41
desrtk.  i seriously want actual build log support08:41
JaneWfabbione: glad to hear about all 3 reasons, but especially 1 :)08:41
desrtplus.. i got some suggestions from #gnome-hackers08:41
desrtwe should have an option to emulate different CPU types08:41
fabbionebtw.. gtk_timeout_add is "dangerous"08:41
fabbioneit tends to segfault08:41
desrthm.  has never done so for me.08:42
fabbionedesrt: ehehe that too08:42
JaneWfabbione: re your students, how long will you be gone again? A week or 2 right? Can you suggest someone appropriate to fill for you there?08:42
fabbione2...08:42
fabbionedesrt: it does for me if i reduce the time to 100ms08:42
desrtoh no.  your patch rejected :P08:42
fabbioneJaneW: suggesting?08:42
desrti cleaned up the source a lot compared with the one you made the changes to :P08:43
fabbioneJaneW: hmmm...08:43
fabbionedesrt: put it in a RCS :)08:43
fabbionedesrt: but i think we should have 2 runtime options.. --random | --use-reallog .. or something like that08:43
desrti agree08:44
fabbioneJaneW: i would probably suggest infinity .. but he is awake now.. so he will complain.. 08:44
=== fabbione points the finger at jbailey
desrtare you a C programmer?08:44
fabbionedesrt: not really.. i don't write code on a regular base, so it's always rusty and hackish08:44
desrtit's valid for a function to return char *08:45
desrtyou don't have to cast to int then back to char * again08:45
fabbionedesrt: tell that to gcc-4.0 :)08:45
desrtdesrt@moonpix:~/code/desrt/gentoovision$ gcc -o gentoovision gentoovision.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0` -Wall08:45
desrtdesrt@moonpix:~/code/desrt/gentoovision$08:45
desrti made the change to your code... no complaint here08:45
desrthahah.  gcc-snapshot08:45
desrti love it :)08:45

desrtbtw.  the memset isn't required... sprintf will add the proper termination08:48
fabbionedesrt: i prefer to wipe the memory...08:49
fabbionei am just paranoid about string handling.08:49
desrti think i am going to write a buildlog capture utility now :)08:50
desrtperl is best, i suspect :)08:51
desrtoh man.. perl makes getting high resolution timing information a pain in the butt08:52

desrti got awesomeness09:21
fabbioneuh?09:21

desrtyour diff is in there too09:23
desrti just tarred up what i had :)09:23
fabbioneahaha cool09:24
desrtthis is what i want :)09:24
desrtbtw.. build logs gzip down to about 10% of their original size09:24
fabbionewe should still consider doing some sed on the logs09:25
fabbionefor -O and gcc-snapshot :P09:25
desrt:)09:25
desrtyes09:25
fabbionedude you should put it in a RCS09:25
desrtwhere?09:25
fabbioneso we can work on it together.. after my VAC09:25
fabbioneRCS= cvs.. svn.. baz.. tla...09:26
desrti don't think we have anywhere that we both have accounts09:26
fabbionedesrt: if we use baz we don't need to share an account09:26
desrti think it's final home will be gnome cvs09:26
fabbionewe can just publish our branches09:26
desrt*its09:26
desrtk.  i refuse to use baz for something like this :P09:26
fabbioneoh ok.. well i don't have access there09:26
fabbionefor small stuff it's fun to use :)09:26
desrt(./configure --prefix=/opt/gnome; make -j3) 2>&1 | ~/code/desrt/gentoovision/time.pl > logfile09:27
desrt^^ this is how you generate the logs with timing info09:27

fabbionebut again.. we need to share at least one RCS :/09:28
fabbionei don't want to start fiddling with patches09:28
fabbioneit's a pain09:28
fabbione(still after my holidays)09:28
desrti'm gonna talk to the gnome-screensaver maintainer09:28
desrtnod :)09:28
desrtwhere are you going, btw?09:28
fabbioneoh well.. if you get it in there directly the better09:28
fabbionei will stay home... have to work in and outside the house09:28
fabbionepainting/doing walls and stuff09:29
fabbionebut i won't be spending time in here09:29
desrti should talk to sebastien and find out if breezy will use gnome-screensaver or xscreensaver by default09:29

desrtit's good to get away from work09:29
fabbioneehheh09:29
fabbionewell i work from home!09:29
fabbionethere is no such a thing like going away :(09:29
desrtright... but to completely cut yourself off and refuse to do anything work-related09:29
desrthow long have you been working for ubuntu anyway?09:30
fabbionefrom the beginning09:30
desrthow did you get involved?09:30
fabbionehehh.. i got a mail from Mark, asking me if he could phone me09:30
fabbionei almost trashed it as spam09:30
desrthmm.  why did he email you, though?09:31
fabbionebut i was like.. nah.. let's see09:31
fabbionesomebody mentioned me to him09:31
fabbioneand it's some sort of nostalgic reasons09:31
desrtcool :)09:31
fabbionehe was one of the first apache1.3 maintainers in Debian09:31
desrtwere you a kernel hacker before?09:31
desrtor debian guy?09:31
fabbioneand i have been maintaing for a while ...09:31
fabbionedebian guy09:31
fabbionethan we did build the apache team09:32
fabbionetook down the bugs from > 200 down to 4609:32
desrtubuntu has a nice mix of people09:32
fabbioneafter that i got too busy again09:32
fabbioneand now is up to 100 and something again i think09:32
fabbionei didn't do an upload in ages09:32
fabbionedesrt: i am a royal bastard.. how can you say that i am nice!09:32
fabbioneyou are ruining my reputation! :P09:33
desrti wasn't talking about you09:33
desrt:)09:33
fabbioneah ok thanks :)09:33
=== fabbione feels better
desrti'd love to work for ubuntu if i had any time :P09:33
fabbionedesrt: ehe you are already doing your sharing of stuff09:34
fabbioneall the time you spent with me for the kernel headers and stuff...09:34
fabbioneidiotify...09:34
desrthahah09:34
fabbionethat's hell of a lot of work for a volunteer...09:34
desrti mean more seriously though09:34
desrtmy dream is to upload :)09:34
fabbioneyou mean that the kernel is not serious enough for you? ;)09:34
fabbionedesrt: ehehe... start joining the MOTU's09:35
desrtya.. crimsun tried to get me involved with that09:35
fabbioneit's a good place to start with09:35
fabbionewell actually.. the only place09:35
desrt:)09:35
desrtbut again... i'll only say that i wish i had the time09:36
desrtmy boss is already annoyed that i spend too much time working on gnome, etc09:37
desrthe's totally good-natured about it, though09:37
fabbionei understand that...09:37
desrthe says things like "but don't you find the kernel to be SO MUCH more exciting than messing around with gtk?"09:38
fabbioneehheheh09:40
desrtactually... i suppose i can count the kernel-related stuff we've done as work-related09:40
desrtsince that -is- my job09:40
desrti feel a little better already :)09:41
fabbionewell you can still hack kernel stuff into ubuntu09:41
fabbioneand push stuff back09:41
fabbionethat's a valuable contribution09:41
desrtour stuff is pretty special-purpose09:41
fabbionei wouldn't mind to merge from you stuff, if you do it09:41
fabbioneoh in that case yeah...09:41
desrtit's extremely high performance network drivers and a runtime system for a cluster09:42
fabbionedesrt: are they going to be GPL drivers?09:42
desrtyes09:42
desrtthey have to be09:42
fabbionewell why not include them in ubuntu than...09:42
fabbioneat what stage is the code?09:42
desrtbecause they really serve no purpose to anyone who isn't hacking the kernel09:43
desrti can send data across the network at full wire speed with approximately 0% CPU utilisation on both ends09:43
fabbionethat's cool09:43
desrtwe have some nice evil hacks, too09:44
desrtto make the data receipt favourable09:44
desrtie: it gets written directly into the memory where it will be used... with all of the junk like headers/checksums/etc conveniently stripped out09:44
desrtsome nice scatter/gather tricks to make that work :)09:45
fabbioneare these drivers associated to special hw?09:45
desrtintel gigabit ethernet cards09:45
fabbioneoh.. kweel09:45
desrttoday was christmas at work... i got 4 boxes of dualport cards09:45
desrtplus 30 gigs of ram09:45
fabbioneEHHEHE09:45
fabbioneah09:45
fabbionei wouldn't mind both :)09:46
desrtso now all the ram and pci slots on my powermacs are full09:46
fabbionethe only reason why i don't run gbic is the switch09:46
fabbionea good one is way too expensive09:46
desrtah... all of our links on the intel cards are point-to-point09:47
desrtgigabit is nice... it has automatic cross-over detection09:47
fabbioneyeah but i can't use p2p without tons of cards :)09:47
fabbione+ i use a lot vlans 09:48
fabbioneso a switch is mandatory09:48
desrtwe got a bunch of 8 port gigabit switches for $150 each, i think09:48
desrtbut they don't do anything like vlan09:48
desrtjust unmanaged dumb switches... the most they do is blink their lights :)09:48
fabbionethe smallest switch i have here is a Cisco 292409:48
fabbioneyeah and i don't like stuff like that09:48
desrtthis is in your home? :)09:48
fabbionei need managed :)09:49
fabbioneyes09:49
desrthahah09:49
desrtwow.  i have an 8 port 10/100 here :P09:49
desrti feel so ghetto09:49
fabbionelet me take a pic :)09:49
desrtoh btw.. can i nuke your account on copacetic?09:50
fabbionedesrt: sure.. go ahead..09:51
fabbionei tough i told you last time...09:51
desrthm.  i may have missed the message09:51
fabbionehttp://www.fabbione.net/new_office.jpg09:52
fabbionehttp://www.fabbione.net/new_office2.jpg09:52
fabbionethis is after last weekend09:52

desrtholy crap09:52
desrthow many channels are you on?09:52
fabbionewhat you can't see in the pics is all the other equipment hidden behind me09:52
fabbionestill unconnected09:52
fabbione15/1609:53
fabbionenot that many09:53
fabbionebut i use different client sessions for each network09:53
desrtis that a sun switch or rackmount server?09:53
fabbioneserver09:53
desrtheh09:53
fabbioneit's the Ubuntu sparc buildd :)09:53
desrtl33t.09:54
desrtwoh09:54
desrtwhat crazy country do you live in?09:54
fabbionedk09:54
fabbionewhy?09:54
desrtweird plugs09:54
fabbioneoh yeah09:54
desrtbtw: smoking will kill you :)09:55
fabbioneso does bitching smokers :P09:55
fabbionedesrt: btw.. the plug you see in pic 2 with 3 pins in a raw is italian09:55
fabbionenot danish09:55
desrtit's funny that ubuntu sparc builds on a server sitting in a corner in your house09:55
fabbionethey look 6 because of the shade09:55
fabbionethere is another buildd in a uni in sweden09:56
desrtthat's a little more normal09:56
desrthappen to know where ppc builds?09:56
fabbionedesrt: hosting here is too expensive09:56
fabbionedesrt: yes they are at the Lodon DC09:56
fabbionelike all the others09:56
fabbioneonly sparc and hppa are not in the DataCenter09:56
fabbione(..yet)09:57
desrtwe had one of those ciscos at work until we got rid of it09:57
desrtit was too noisy09:57
desrtand it was seriously underutilised09:58
desrtthese two pictures are taken at different times09:59
desrtdeceit!09:59
fabbioneuh?10:00
fabbioneyeah the pics have been taken with a week difference10:00

lamontthat's me ripping major pieces of kernel out of .config, slowly turning itanium into defconfig, trying to find the fatal option05:25
fabbionedid i mentioned it before?05:25
=== lamont was just venting
fabbione:)05:25
fabbionelamont: if you don't have time to do it, open a bug and i will fix it when i am back05:26
lamontI'll fix it05:26
=== fabbione is waiting for m68k to finish cron.d

=== fabbione grins
dokofabbione: assuming we have a i386 biarch compiler again, please can we build an amd64 kernel for i386?06:08
fabbionedoko: i am VAC06:08
fabbionedoko: but assuming.. i can try06:10
fabbionenot as breezy goal tho06:10
dokofabbione: not as a breezy goal, or not for breezy?06:13
fabbionedoko: it depends what that implies in terms of changes into the kenrel build infrastructure06:14
fabbioneif it is easy, than yes.. otherwise sorry no..06:14

lamontfabbione: btw, CPAD fix committed11:17
fabbionelamont: ok :)11:18
jbaileyfabbione: I know how two systems that I can routinely produce some sort of severe crash that keeps me from running sudo on.  Some day  when you're bored, I should get you to show me how to troubleshoot this...11:19

fabbionejbailey: the hw is broken.. change it11:20
jbaileyon the console11:20
jbaileyfabbione: Eh?  Two systems, different arch's, same glibc tests...11:21
fabbionei dunno.. that's amd64, isn't it?11:21
jbaileyamd64 and ppc, yeah.11:21
fabbionei have no idea...11:21
fabbionenot today at least :)11:22
lamontSCORE!!! it booted... much smaller bracket to play in now.11:22
=== jbailey misses the Hurd where he could at least attach gdb to pieces.
fabbionemy brain is basically turned off11:22
fabbionelamont: cool!11:22
jbaileyfabbione: Right, that's why it's some day when you're bored.11:22
=== fabbione hands kgdb to jbailey
lamontfabbione: of course, some of it was turning things into 'yes' that were 'module' before.11:22
jbaileyfabbione: apt-cache search doesn't find it. /me googles.11:22
fabbionelamont: i would blame initrd for that11:23
fabbionejbailey: it's not a package11:23
lamontmuch smaller, fwiw, is +330/-80 on the diff11:23
fabbioneit's a patch iirc..11:23
lamontactually, I'm leaning toward CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME and firends11:23
=== jbailey needs to go out an get food for when his wife comes home.
jbaileyfabbione: Thanks.  Lamont would probably love the buildds to stop dying whiler we're at it too. =)11:23
lamontnow that's just amusing...11:24
jbaileySomehow running simple interface tests blocks a test indefinetly, and kills whatever sockets sudo needs to run.11:24
lamontah, probably hotplug stuff11:24
lamont(why the network doesn't autoconfig)11:24
fabbionelamont: I am not 100% sure how you are playing with the configs11:24
lamontfabbione: with a sledge hammer11:25
lamontanything taht prints a kernel message is considered "good".  Things that machine check before the first printk are considerd "fail"11:25
fabbionebut you need to always compared the generated .config in the build dir with the original and the expected config yuo are modifying11:25
lamontand it's semi-binary-search week11:25
lamontyes11:25
fabbioneyou might manually disable an option that might be turned back by Kconfig and you don't know...11:26
lamontso I have defconfig (good) and itanium (fail), and several passes between, as I make itanium look more and more like defconfig...11:26
fabbioneor switch something to m and at the end is y11:26
lamontoh, it's vi .config; make oldconfig; diff; diff; diff.11:26
lamontand occasionally make menuconfig11:26
fabbionethe config is still changed :)11:26
fabbionebut i guess you know that11:27
fabbioneanyway it's time for me to sleep11:27
lamontthe config is changed in 'make oldconfig', and then I diff it.  once I like the diff, then I build, which does another make oldconfig, but so what11:27
lamontg'night11:27
fabbionethe first of the 2 amiga is distupgrading to sarge11:27
jbaileyfabbione: You starting the m68k port?11:27
fabbionejbailey: no. my 2 amigas are too slow for that11:28
fabbionejbailey: that's why i was asking about the cross compiler11:28
jbaileyfabbione: Right, but there are apparently decent emulators for m68k now.11:28
jbaileyfabbione: m68k is one of the micro-buntu targets that I was thinking about.11:28
fabbionejbailey: yes.. but waht i was thinking about is to try to build breezy via cross compile11:28
=== lamont just wants a bootloader for uae...
jbaileyI wouldn't do it in a cross compiler.11:28
jbaileyI'd do it in an emulator.11:28
fabbioneand use the results to test on real m68k11:29
jbaileyMost apps don't cross compiler well.11:29
fabbionejbailey: afaik emulator will boot AmiOS11:29
fabbionenot linux11:29
jbaileyIf I get bored this weeked I'll look for the link I found.11:29
fabbionebut if you know of any of these emulators that can run m68k i will be glad to give it a shot11:30
jbaileyI was putting stuff together to run on my ia6411:30
fabbionei don't mind to setup a buildd 11:30
jbailey(The most power EVER consumed by an m68k!)11:30
fabbionehahaha11:30
fabbionei also promised Al Viro to test his stack smasher something on m68k11:30
fabbioneso that they can finally kill that 120K patch that linus will never accept 11:31
jbaileyBut if you are interested in this, I'll also get around to writing down the embedded Ubuntu stuff that Thom and I talked about.11:31
=== lamont tries the promising PRINTK options as the only real diff from itaniu
lamontm11:31
fabbionejbailey: i don't mind to use one of my m68k as test machine...11:31
fabbionei have fun with them11:31
fabbionebut no real bootstrapping or compiling there...11:31
jbaileyRight.  I'm not willing to debug on them though, so.... =)11:32
fabbione+ i know a bit of m68k asm...11:32
fabbionei think i still remember most of it :)11:32
jbaileyIt would be a lovely excuse for me to learn it.11:32
jbaileyGotta run.  g'n Fabio! (And l8r, all)11:32
fabbionea long time ago i did propose Simon Richter to work on a linux boot loader to install directly in the bootblock11:32
fabbioneinstead of having to boot AmiOS first11:33
fabbionecya Jeff11:33
fabbionenight guys11:33
