dokofabbione: can the amd64 kernels handle >= 4GB machines?10:42
fabbionedoko: no10:42
fabbionenone of our kernels are compiled with > 4GB support10:43
dokowould it be penalty for machines with <4GB?10:43
fabbioneyes10:47
fabbioneit introduces an extra layer in the mm10:47
dokoand with 4GB, you can only use 3,7GB or something like that. You don't have plans for >4GB support, don't you?11:03
fabbionedunno.. never used linux with more than 2GB11:03
Mithrandirwell, with 4GB, it's faster to use the <4GB model than the >4GB model in most cases.11:05
Mithrandirsince PAE is stinking shit.11:06

fabbionechmj: no idea03:26

BenChey04:06
fabbionedid you have a nice weekend?04:06
BenCnormally I'd say yes, but no :)04:07
fabbioneyou need to get a better inet connection :)04:07
BenCmy connection seems to be fine04:07
BenCmy ssh sessions don't timeout04:07
BenCjust IRC04:07
fabbioneyou keep pinging out04:07
fabbioneah ok04:07
fabbioneBenC: can i reassing all the kernel bugs to you?04:08
BenCyeah, let me have it04:08
=== BenC prepares his inbox
fabbioneBenC: eheh i will do it tomorrow :)04:08
fabbionethere is no rush ;)04:08
fabbionei remember there is a trick to do that in crapzilla...04:08
BenCfabbione: is there really a mac_hid module that is needed for ppc users to use apple mice?04:09
BenCI thought normal hid would work04:09
fabbioneBenC: i guess you are talking about James bug, aren't you?04:10
BenC1378704:10
fabbionethat module is available on ppc32 only04:10
fabbioneit's not even in the PPC64 Kconfig tree04:11
=== BenC isn't using it on his g4
BenCwhat types of apple mice need that module?04:11
fabbioneno clue.. i don't have a ppc at all04:11
fabbioneanyway 13787 is sort of duplicate of 1382604:11
BenCit's not a driver at all04:12
BenCit's a 2+3 mouse button emulator for apple mice04:13
BenCwell, not a driver in the sense that it is needed to use the mouse04:13
fabbioneget ready for a 270 mails of spam from crapzilla04:13
fabbioneshould be done :)04:14
fabbionehmm nobody did close the bugs from 7.11???04:16

zulhey...you changed some of my bugs as well..04:20
ivokswho?04:20
fabbionezul: i did it in a batch...04:21
fabbionesorry.. take them back and coordinate with BenC04:21
zulok..04:22
BenCfabbione: I closed 13787, can 13826 be closed you think? I can't see how he enabled ADB in the PPC64 config anyway, since it seems it shouldn't be able to do so04:24
BenCmaybe he used a PPC .config or something04:24
fabbioneBenC: i am not sure how he managed to get there...04:24
fabbionebut elmo definetely has CONFIG_PPC6404:24
fabbioneno idea if he forced it there04:25
BenCoh, that's J Troup's bug?04:25
BenCshould be closed by default then :)04:25
fabbioneahhaha04:25
fabbionePEBAK KTHXBYE04:25
fabbione:P04:25
BenCfabbione: weird, if I do "make menuconfig ARCH=ppc64" it let's me choose ADB and ADBHID options04:27
fabbioneyeah.. but the mac stuff in that dir is not for ppc64 afaik04:36
fabbioneit doesn't build at all04:36
fabbionenothing in that dir does04:36
BenCthere are a couple of G5 things in there04:37
BenCSMU and         tristate "Support for thermal management on PowerMac G5"04:37
fabbionehmm we do build SMU04:37
BenCmostly it's ADB stuff04:37
fabbioneit's mandatory for ppc6404:37
BenCyeah, IMO it should be "default y" and depend PPC_PMAC6404:38
fabbionepossibly.. my ppc64 knowledge is quite limited to what benh tells me04:38
BenClooks like the email flood stopped04:40
fabbioneyeah04:41
fabbionewe need to check other pkgs/status too04:41
fabbionelike PENDINGUPLOAD04:41
fabbionei don't think the search i did got them04:41

jammcqfabbione: just got the bugzilla email04:50
jammcqthanks for adding FUSE to the kernel04:50
fabbioneoh that was done a long ago...04:50
jammcqwill make LOTS of ltsp folks happy04:50
fabbionei noticed only now because the bug was against kernel-package04:50
fabbionewhilst it should have been linux :)04:50
fabbionebut it has been in the kernel for while04:50
jammcqoh04:50
jammcqcool04:50
fabbionei think it was done the kernel immediatly after you asked for it in irc..04:51
jammcqthat's what I like... I ask for things, and they happen :)04:51
fabbionejammcq: i am glad it will be helpful :)04:52
fabbionejammcq: don't ask for money or sex.. i am running out myself ;)04:52
jammcqdamn04:52
BenCjammcq: you work with ltsp?04:52
fabbionejammcq: of course fuse will cost you a beer ;:P04:52
jammcqok, i'll think of something else04:52
jammcqBenC: yeah, it's my project04:52
fabbioneBenC meet jammcq, jammcq meet BenC04:52
jammcqhello benc04:52
fabbionejammcq: BenC is the new kernel maintainer as of today .)04:53
jammcqah, cool04:53
BenCjammcq: do you know if matt's changes to use bindfs overcame the problems with unionfs being broken in the latest kernel?04:53
jammcqfabbione: where are you going?04:53
zulim still a flunky04:53
fabbioneBenC: yes. he doesn't use unionfs anymore.. hence my proposal to kill it from the kernel04:53
fabbionejammcq: back to userland...04:53
BenCfabbione: gladly04:53
jammcqBenC: hmm, dunno.  matt's methods are different from standard LTSP.  But, once the bugz are worked out, we'll prolly adopts the ubuntu way04:53
jammcqfabbione: Ubuntu-userland?04:54
fabbionejammcq: yup :)04:56
jammcqcool. I look forward to see all you guys at the next ubuntu mtg.  Looks like we'll have a bunch of ltsp guys there this time04:58

BenCmjg59: ping07:19
mjg59BenC: Hi07:20
BenCmjg59: hey, have you seen bug 13786 yet?07:20
BenCI'm inclined to assign it to you and usplash07:21
mjg59Yeah07:21
mjg59Uh07:21
mjg59It's not a usplash issue07:21
mjg59The framebuffer doesn't work in the installer, either07:21
BenCthing is, vga16fb is known not to work on all hardware, especially laptop/lcd situations07:21
BenCwell, true07:21
mjg59The issue is that the installer doesn't communicate that to the installed system07:22
BenCproblem is that he removed splash and added vga=normal to the grub conf, and it still loaded vga16fb07:22
BenCatleast that's what the reporter claims07:22
mjg59Yes, that's initramfs07:22
mjg59if you include modules, they get autoloaded07:23
mjg59I need to check if jeff's fixed that yet07:23
jbaileymjg59: Hmm?07:23
jbaileyIt depends on how you include them.07:23
jbaileyAnything in modules.d gets auto loaded.07:23
mjg59jbailey: Ah. I don't think I've had a chance to look at it since you provided an alternative mechanism07:23
jbaileyYou can do things conditionally with hook scripts now at build time.07:23
mjg59Ok07:23
jbaileyTake a look at /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/07:24
mjg59So yeah, there's a multitude of bugs here:07:24
BenCso remove modules.d/usplash07:24
mjg591) vga16fb is broken on some hardware and probably shouldn't be07:24
jbaileyThe two interesting functions are "manual_add_modules" which adds the module to the initramfs but doesn't load it.07:24
mjg592) the installer doesn't usefully tell the system that the framebuffer is broken07:24
jbaileyand force_load which adds the modules to the initramfs and does load it.07:24
mjg593) usplash is including modules the wrong way07:24
BenChow can the installer know that the framebuffer is broken?07:25
BenCif they disable it from the command line?07:25
mjg59Yes07:25
BenCwhat's the name of the installer package?07:26
mjg59debian-installer07:27
BenChow does "splash" get added to grub.conf?07:27
jbaileyIt seems to have been there for ages.07:27
mjg59It's put there by default07:27
BenCok07:27
mjg59Either d-i or grub, I guess07:27
jbaileyYeah, it's there even in Hoary.07:28
BenCok, filed a bug for debian-installer07:30
BenCeven if it's a grub default, the installer should be responsible for overriding it, IMO07:30
BenCmjg59: you have a bug for the module loading problem?07:31
BenCin usplash07:31
mjg59BenC: Not filed07:34
