| fabbione | hey jbailey | 05:55 |
| jbailey | Heya Fabio | 05:56 |
| fabbione | jbailey: we need to get klibc to build on sparc... | 05:57 |
| fabbione | actually.. B-D can't even be satisfied | 05:57 |
| jbailey | fabbione: Hmm, I thought it was building. | 05:58 |
| jbailey | Which b-d? | 05:58 |
| fabbione | on kernel headers? | 05:58 |
| fabbione | you are still using the -1- abi reference... | 05:58 |
| fabbione | we are up to 6 and soon to 7 :) | 05:58 |
| jbailey | Ah, thought I had updated that. | 05:58 |
| jbailey | Bloody abi bumps. | 05:58 |
| fabbione | retarded klibc :) | 05:58 |
| jbailey | *lol* | 05:59 |
| fabbione | jbailey: the append to initr* patches... | 06:00 |
| fabbione | i saw a bug about them... | 06:00 |
| jbailey | I have a bug report for initramfs asking for vesafb and fbcon to be auto added on i386 | 06:00 |
| jbailey | I thought the kernels had all the framebuffer stuff built in automatically. | 06:00 |
| fabbione | eh it did with initrd... | 06:00 |
| jbailey | fabbione: I need to hack more on it. The classic initrd case is OOPSing at startup, and I haven't troubleshot it yet. | 06:00 |
| fabbione | placing the modules in /lib/modules/$ver/initrd | 06:01 |
| jbailey | Sorry? I'm having trouble following. | 06:01 |
| jbailey | (My bad for telling you something else at the same time as you told me something) | 06:01 |
| fabbione | fabbione@gordian:/lib/modules/2.6.12-4-686/initrd$ ls | 06:02 |
| fabbione | capability.ko vesafb.ko | 06:02 |
| fabbione | the modules in that dir are automatically added to the initrd | 06:02 |
| jbailey | Right, but I thought that you said that you inicluded all the necessary framebuffer things in the kernel for each arch. | 06:02 |
| jbailey | So I didn't bother including them. | 06:02 |
| jbailey | (There's alot of historical cruft in initrd-tools) | 06:02 |
| fabbione | we build them as module.. and we ship them.. that's all | 06:03 |
| jbailey | Ah, okay. | 06:03 |
| fabbione | i don't include them automatically anywhere.. | 06:03 |
| jbailey | If you didn't, I wouldn't have a console on ppc... | 06:03 |
| fabbione | jbailey: i think some arches must have fb in the kernel | 06:03 |
| fabbione | others don't or can't | 06:04 |
| jbailey | Ah, okay. So it's a per-arch thing then. | 06:04 |
| fabbione | yup | 06:04 |
| jbailey | 'k | 06:05 |
| fabbione | jbailey: the best thing you can do to see it, is to grab all -images- from jackass and dpkg -c them | 06:05 |
| fabbione | to get an idea | 06:05 |
| fabbione | something you can easily do from either chinstrap or rookery | 06:05 |
| fabbione | i need to wake up my wife... brb | 06:06 |
| fabbione | re | 06:14 |
| fabbione | jbailey: klibc.. you said you were going or planned to change it to use l-k-h | 06:14 |
| fabbione | if that doesn't work, i can still provide you with a meta package to B-D on | 06:15 |
| fabbione | so you don't need to get too crazy about abi bumps | 06:15 |
| fabbione | specially after release.. when we might bump ABI in a security update | 06:15 |
| fabbione | and klibc won't build anymore | 06:15 |
| jbailey | Right, it just hasn't been top on my priority list when sorting all the initramfs-tools stuff out. | 06:16 |
| jbailey | Now that it's in use, I want to clean up things like this. | 06:16 |

| doko | libc6-dev-amd64 | 08:19 |
| doko | I'm not sure, if these headers really work at the moment, I didn't get feedback from jbailey yet. so you might try amd64-libs-dev instead | 08:20 |
| fabbione | well i need something a bit more tested.. since i need to ask elmo to install these possible B-D on concordia | 08:29 |
| fabbione | also.. what's the minimal version of gcc-3.4 that i need to use... | 08:29 |

| Mithrandir | I think perhaps there is something in the hoary kernel which leaks loads of memory. | 10:17 |
| fabbione | that's called X and GNOME | 10:18 |
| Mithrandir | on a server? | 10:19 |
| fabbione | you should have specified it before :) | 10:20 |
| Mithrandir | :-P | 10:22 |
| Mithrandir | my slabinfo showed me those nice numbers: | 10:22 |
| Mithrandir | biovec-1 5925600 5925825 16 225 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 26337 26337 0 | 10:23 |
| Mithrandir | bio 5925623 5925743 128 31 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 191153 191153 0 | 10:23 |
| Mithrandir | which means it has allocated almost 6M objects of size 16 and 128, a grand total of ~850MB. | 10:23 |
| Mithrandir | that hurts a bit when the box runs SA and some other stuff. | 10:24 |
| Mithrandir | compared to the box freshly booted: | 10:26 |
| Mithrandir | biovec-1 1347 1800 16 225 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 8 8 0 | 10:26 |
| Mithrandir | bio 1341 1581 128 31 1 : tunables 120 60 0 : slabdata 51 51 0 | 10:26 |
| fabbione | weird | 10:27 |
| Mithrandir | nothing special here, runs apache2, random user processes, does have a raid5 with evms, but that's just devmapper. | 10:28 |
| fabbione | hmmmm no idea really... | 10:35 |

| Mithrandir | ah, it seems to be related to the fact that my SATA controller generates some spurious errors which then causes memory leaks in the raid code. | 10:56 |
| fabbione | ah neat bug | 10:59 |
| Mithrandir | yeah | 11:00 |
| Mithrandir | oh well, I'm off to hack the live cd. | 11:00 |
| fabbione | JaneW: ping? | 11:12 |
| JaneW | fabbione: pong | 11:13 |
| fabbione | JaneW: i need a little help with the wiki update... | 11:14 |
| JaneW | ok | 11:14 |
| fabbione | we agreed to make a list of deferred points inside specs | 11:14 |
| JaneW | (thought you needed a name) ;) | 11:14 |
| fabbione | but i am not sure how you want me to do that | 11:14 |
| JaneW | which spec? | 11:14 |
| fabbione | LinuxKernelRoadmap is 90% implemented, shipped, tested... | 11:14 |
| fabbione | JaneW: name is for after Colony 3 release ;) | 11:14 |
| JaneW | fabbione: cool, what's deferred? | 11:15 |
| fabbione | but there are still a few deferred points... | 11:15 |
| fabbione | JaneW: the list of deferred points is in comments inside the spec itself | 11:15 |
| JaneW | fabbione: once I create a deferred column and list the stuff there, you can make the LKR completed. | 11:15 |
| fabbione | i did never change the specs, but only added comments on what happened/when and why | 11:15 |
| JaneW | ok, I'll go look | 11:15 |
| JaneW | oh in the spec... | 11:15 |
| fabbione | same goes for InstallerVolumeManager... | 11:16 |
| fabbione | JaneW: yes.. | 11:16 |
| JaneW | the ubuntu wiki is much slower that the UDU one... | 11:16 |
| fabbione | that was the easiest to keep detailed track of stuff | 11:16 |
| fabbione | without "altering" the original specs.. | 11:16 |
| fabbione | i did only add comments to them | 11:16 |
| fabbione | sort of status tracker | 11:17 |
| JaneW | fabbione: is it 2 items? | 11:17 |
| fabbione | JaneW: ? | 11:17 |
| fabbione | what do you mean by "2 items"? | 11:18 |
| JaneW | fabbione: there's 2 things in the spec that says DEFERRED | 11:18 |
| fabbione | checking.. i remember there were a bit more | 11:18 |
| fabbione | there are more... | 11:19 |
| JaneW | oh | 11:19 |
| fabbione | i will update the page with "DEFERRED" | 11:19 |
| fabbione | some of them are not capital letters :) | 11:19 |
| JaneW | ok thanks | 11:21 |
| JaneW | fabbione: can I make the rest of the goal completed (light green i.e. 100% done) ? | 11:25 |
| fabbione | JaneW: yup... | 11:27 |
| JaneW | YAY! *clap* | 11:27 |
| fabbione | there.. page updated... | 11:27 |
| JaneW | thanks | 11:27 |
| JaneW | shew the wiki is SLOW | 11:27 |
| fabbione | did i ever mention that i HATE wiki? | 11:28 |
| JaneW | fabbione: hehe, ok I see 6 DEFERRED's now... | 11:28 |
| fabbione | yes that's correct.. | 11:28 |
| === fabbione updates InstallerVolumeManager | ||
| fabbione | JaneW: InstallerVolumeManagement looks good enough for me | 11:31 |
| fabbione | the last comment from 2005-07-14 is the same as reported to the meetingh | 11:31 |
| fabbione | there are no updates since than | 11:31 |
| JaneW | fabbione: has InstallerVolumeManagement had more testing yet? | 11:34 |
| JaneW | fabbione: and do you think it will change before it can be marked completed? | 11:34 |
| fabbione | JaneW: it won't change because we can't support our 3 arches | 11:35 |
| fabbione | it will be completed for real in breezy+1 | 11:35 |
| fabbione | there is nothing we can do more for breezy | 11:36 |
| JaneW | can I make it complete then? for purposes of tracking what need to be done now | 11:36 |
| fabbione | JaneW: it's ok with me or we can move it to implemented -> deferred | 11:36 |
| fabbione | because the real target of the spec can't be achieved | 11:36 |
| JaneW | it is useable at all? | 11:36 |
| fabbione | on the other side the logic has been implemented and it works | 11:37 |
| Mithrandir | is the spec "LVM/EVMS by default" or "possible to use LVM/EVMS"? | 11:37 |
| fabbione | yes yes.. it works | 11:37 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: yes | 11:37 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: "yes" is a terrible answer to an "or" question | 11:37 |
| JaneW | ok, then lets say complete? Although are portions deferred, in which case I;ll add it to deferred as well? | 11:37 |
| JaneW | Mithrandir: LOL | 11:37 |
| fabbione | damn.. i can't workaround you ;) | 11:37 |
| fabbione | "This spec considers our options for setting up logical volume management in the installer by default." | 11:38 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: do you think we can get a fix for the slab issue into hoary, it's kinda critical that servers run out of memory after a month. | 11:38 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: i think so.. i can pass it at memory leak/ddos | 11:38 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: great, thanks. :-) | 11:39 |
| Mithrandir | just tell me if you need somebody to test the update | 11:40 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: well if you can test it yourself that'd be great | 11:42 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: that patch doesn't apply to -10, so we need to backport it a bit. | 11:42 |
| fabbione | a one liner that doesn't apply is an issue... | 11:42 |
| === fabbione checks | ||
| Mithrandir | the surrounding code has changed, but I think it's doable anyhow | 11:43 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: i can't find the code at all... | 11:49 |
| fabbione | not even in .12 | 11:50 |
| Mithrandir | http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/07/msg00231.html ? | 11:51 |
| Mithrandir | it's relative to http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-raid&m=111155701929593&w=2, I think | 11:54 |
| fabbione | the first patch you pasted is in .13 git | 11:54 |
| fabbione | and it applies to a function called | 11:55 |
| fabbione | super_written | 11:55 |
| fabbione | that's not in .10 or .12 | 11:55 |
| Mithrandir | the missing link is in the theaimsgroup link, though | 11:55 |
| JaneW | fabbione: ok InstallerVolumeManagement is completed in the main table and listed in deferred too, I hope that is ok. | 12:00 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: the patch at http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2005/07/msg00231.html seems to be the correct one | 12:00 |
| fabbione | JaneW: sure.. that's fine | 12:00 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: | 12:01 |
| fabbione | static int sync_page_io(struct block_device *bdev, sector_t sector, int size, | 12:01 |
| JaneW | fabbione: all your goals are completed - you can go on holiday again ;) | 12:01 |
| fabbione | on line 332 has been splitted into 2 functions | 12:01 |
| fabbione | that's why it doesn't apply | 12:01 |
| fabbione | JaneW: i would love to.. but i guess somebody won't be happy about it :) | 12:02 |
| fabbione | JaneW: i still need to push the SoC stuff in... | 12:02 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: if you can test that patch, i will add it as security thing for hoary | 12:03 |
| fabbione | given that a memleak is NOT good | 12:03 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: ok, I'll do that. Can you prepare images or should I? | 12:04 |
| fabbione | now.. time to prepare some food and to get a long break | 12:04 |
| fabbione | Mithrandir: up to you.. if you can do it > * | 12:04 |
| JaneW | fabbione: yes I hope the SoC stuff completes well, and I could give you some more goals if you are looking? ;) | 12:05 |
| fabbione | otherwise give me time till tomorrow.. i guess i will have to prepare a hoary security update | 12:05 |
| fabbione | JaneW: thanks but i have enough stuff to do :) | 12:05 |

| (JaneW/#ubuntu-kernel) Mithrandir: are we likely to get anothing completed there for Breezy, or will it need to be deferred? | 01:50 | |
| (Mithrandir/#ubuntu-kernel) that depends on whether I should concentrate on getting it into ok-ish shape or not. | 01:50 | |
| (Mithrandir/#ubuntu-kernel) I think it's doable for breezy | 01:50 | |
| (Mithrandir/#ubuntu-kernel) but at the moment I'm not working on my goals but rather picking up various loose threads around. | 01:51 | |
| fabbione | JaneW: i doubt there is a chance to get Xen for breezy | 01:53 |
| fabbione | that means a FeatureFreeze breakage | 01:53 |
| fabbione | + ENOTIME to do a deep test | 01:53 |
| Mithrandir | fabbione: it'd be universe for now. | 01:54 |
| Mithrandir | and yes, mdz wouldn't be happy about the freeze exception | 01:54 |
| fabbione | imho it's pointless to spend that many resources for a universe package | 01:54 |
| Mithrandir | (I'd imagine) | 01:54 |
| fabbione | given that the patch in 2.0.6 is for .11 | 01:54 |

| fabbione | lamont: we can't compile it for all arches | 09:42 |
| fabbione | some of them don't have standard RTC | 09:43 |
| jbailey_ | fabbione: Heya. | 09:43 |
| fabbione | jbailey_: we populate it manually. | 09:43 |
| jbailey_ | Okay, so I'll just trust that you guys will continue to handle that directory for now. | 09:44 |
| jbailey_ | I had missed it in the initramfs-tools stuff. | 09:44 |
| fabbione | jbailey_: i would love to kill it.. | 09:45 |
| fabbione | if you want you can take it over via initramfs | 09:45 |
| fabbione | it's only wasted space on duplicate modules | 09:45 |
| jbailey_ | That would work too. How do you decide what goes in? | 09:45 |
| jbailey_ | fabbione: It's hardlinked, so there's no wasted space. | 09:45 |
| fabbione | jbailey_: i don't decide.. really. i found it from warty and ported forward.. | 09:46 |
| jbailey_ | fabbione: Mmm.. Then let's leave it there for now and decide for 6.04 | 09:46 |
| jbailey_ | It's the least amount of work for me to just pull it from there, and then at least we can handle it during feature hacking time. | 09:46 |
| fabbione | sure | 09:47 |
| fabbione | works for me | 09:47 |
| fabbione | lamont: i will look at it again, but i remember that problem... | 09:50 |
| zul | laster | 09:51 |
| lamont | jbailey: dunno - haven't gotten there yet | 09:56 |
| jbailey | lamont: Well, even on your test build, though. | 09:56 |
| fabbione | jbailey: libc seems to be broken on sparc | 09:56 |
| lamont | jbailey: I thought it was a gcc front end fix | 09:56 |
| fabbione | it makes apt-utils -> apt-ftparchive segfault | 09:56 |
| jbailey | fabbione: Just this most recent update? | 09:56 |
| === lamont was offline from wed thru sunday, hopingto worry about things later this week, | ||
| fabbione | jbailey: i did try both debian 2.3.5-3 and our latest | 09:57 |
| lamont | kyle was playing with the debian side of things, and planning to followup with me afterwards | 09:57 |
| lamont | jbailey: you're referring to the GOT issue? | 09:57 |
| jbailey | lamont: Whatever the issue was that commenting out that patch was. | 09:58 |
| jbailey | Was that the GOT issue, or was that a different one? | 09:58 |
| jbailey | fabbione: Hmm. | 09:58 |
| lamont | jbailey: commenting out the patch fixed that issue. | 09:58 |
| jbailey | lamont: 'k | 09:58 |
| lamont | the new issue is that we have GOT abs syms in shlibs, which makes many things unloadable. | 09:58 |
| fabbione | jbailey: it actually leads to a "Bus Error" | 09:59 |
| jbailey | lamont: Mmm, tasty. | 09:59 |
| jbailey | fabbione: Right. But why do you think it's glibc? | 09:59 |
| fabbione | because downgrading glibc make it working again? | 09:59 |
| lamont | gcc.gnu.org/PR23369 | 09:59 |
| jbailey | fabbione: glibc doesn't generally do memory allocation, it may have had something in it before that was forcing alignment by doing an extra copy or something that doesn't exist now. | 10:00 |
| jbailey | fabbione: We'll need to trace it to the call before it SIGBUSes and figure out what it's being called with. | 10:00 |
| fabbione | jbailey: the bus error comes right during a pread | 10:00 |
| fabbione | iir | 10:00 |
| fabbione | iirc | 10:00 |
| jbailey | Right, so is the buffer that's handed in correctly alligned? | 10:01 |
| fabbione | i will need to do it again in a chroot | 10:01 |
| jbailey | Sure, we can play dueling screen sessions again. =) | 10:01 |
| fabbione | jbailey: yes.. but not before i finish to download a few torrents :) | 10:01 |
| fabbione | i am not in the mood to stop them now | 10:01 |
| jbailey | fabbione: I'm about full up for today anyway. | 10:01 |
| fabbione | jbailey: dude.. it's like 10pm here :) | 10:02 |
| jbailey | Exactly. =) | 10:02 |
| fabbione | jbailey: did you install your sparc? | 10:02 |
| jbailey | No, I've been away the past few days. | 10:03 |
| fabbione | ah right... | 10:03 |
| fabbione | forgot about that | 10:03 |
| jbailey | Reminds me that I should ask Simon is I can borrow his null modem cable to get it setup. | 10:03 |
| fabbione | jbailey: make one... | 10:04 |
| fabbione | it's easy .. | 10:04 |
| jbailey | I used to have a nice breakout box for doing things like that. | 10:05 |
| fabbione | yeah i need to get one again | 10:05 |
| fabbione | speaking of which... i need the console cable for the U60 | 10:05 |
| fabbione | BenC: do you happen to have the schema of the connectors around? | 10:05 |
| fabbione | U60 has the big fat female (DB25) | 10:06 |
| fabbione | to connect to a normal serial port (9 pin or whatever it is now) | 10:06 |
| BenC | schema? | 10:12 |
| BenC | you just need a regular serial cable, and a NULL modem terminator on it (or a NULL cable) | 10:13 |
| BenC | regular 25-9 pin adapters work ok with the sparc serial too | 10:14 |
| fabbione | BenC: hmm weird... i saw the SUN guy using a DB25 to RJ45 -> Cisco RJ45 (all crossed) -> RJ45 DB9 | 10:14 |
| fabbione | the other solution didn't work.. | 10:15 |
| BenC | ugly | 10:15 |
| BenC | I have a 25pin cable, with a 9-25pin adapter and a null term | 10:15 |
| fabbione | that's what i tested.. | 10:15 |
| fabbione | i will try again | 10:15 |
| BenC | should work | 10:15 |
| fabbione | http://edition.cnn.com/2005/US/08/16/computer.frenzy.ap/index.html | 10:55 |
| fabbione | AHAHHAHA | 10:55 |
| === fabbione goes to sleep | ||
| fabbione | cya tomorrow fellas | 10:58 |
