marcin_antdesrt, hi12:09
=== desrt seems to be on the ACPI hitlist lately
desrtwhat's up?12:09
marcin_antdesrt,  I got Asus M6703RB laptop and breezy12:09
marcin_antwith 2.6,12-8 kernel12:10
desrtk12:10
marcin_antand my problem is that ACPI doesn't work12:10
desrti probably can't help you too much there :/12:11
marcin_anttheoretically asus M6R is supported but it cannot see battery12:11
=== netjoined: irc.freenode.net -> kornbluth.freenode.net
=== fs [i=fs@213.178.77.98] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
desrtdoes ACPI see the battery?12:11
marcin_antno - it says that there is no battery at all12:11
marcin_antthere are bugs in dmes12:12
desrteek :/12:12
marcin_antand I got a bug in dsdt12:12
marcin_antbut I don't know what to do with this bug12:12
desrtya... that's definitely outside of my realm of understanding12:12
desrtBenC is your man :D12:12
marcin_antok, so I need to wait for him12:12
desrtfabbione is a fun guy to bug too :)12:12
marcin_antI'll try to compile 2.6.13 kernel in the meantime but I don't think that it could solve these problems12:13
marcin_antok12:13
=== desrt doesn't really understand this ubuntu 2.6.12 business
BenChey12:15
desrtw3rd.12:15
marcin_antdesrt, heh then stupid question - what is source package for linux-image?12:16
marcin_antBenC, hi12:16
desrtlinux-source12:16
BenClinux-source-2.6.1212:16
marcin_antapt-get source linux-source?12:16
desrtmarcin_ant; and copy your config file from /boot/ to .config and run 'make oldconfig'12:16
desrtapt-get install12:16
BenCmarcin_ant: are there any bios upgrades for your system?12:16
marcin_antBenC, yes - already flashed bios12:17
desrtit will download a tar.bz2 to /usr/src... you can unpack it if you are a member of the 'src' group12:17
BenCmarcin_ant: and there is still a bug with dsdt?12:17
BenCmarcin_ant: got a dmesg output?12:17
marcin_antdesrt, yes I know but I thought about something that could allow me to build new kernel package12:18
marcin_antdesrt, anyway I'll try this 12:18
marcin_antBenC, just a moment12:18
BenCmarcin_ant: if you unpack the kernel source, you can do build a new package with make-kpkg12:19
marcin_antBenC, hmm where could I paste dmesg output for this channel?12:21
BenCemail it to me, ben.collins@ubuntu.com12:22
marcin_antBenC, ok12:22
marcin_antBenC, almost ready12:29
marcin_antBenC, ok, sent12:33
marcin_antBenC, you got some info about system, dmeg output and dsdt.dsl and iasl dsdt.dsl output12:34
marcin_antBenC, ah and small info - I forgot to write this in mail12:35
marcin_antBenC, asus_acpi module doesn't load at boot I had to run this module manually to get some info about system12:38
marcin_antBenC, are you there?12:51

mjg59The ndiuswrapper makefile is broken for amd6405:05
mjg59Which is presumably why it doesn't build05:06
mjg59Oh argh the kernel's ndiswrapper build it mad05:10
=== zul [n=chuck@CPE0006258ec6c2-CM000a73655d0e.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
zulmeh...05:13
mjg59zul: Did you see me talking about ndiswrapper?05:13
zulmjg59: nope lagging like hell05:13
mjg59zul: ndiswrapper in the kernel source is trivially broken on amd6405:14
mjg59It shouldn't include divdi3 there05:14
zulok..is it broken in the newer version?05:15
mjg59Looks like it05:16
mjg59Basically, OBJS := divdi3.o is wrong05:16
zulhmmm....got a patch? ;)05:16
mjg59There should be a ifdef CONFIG_X86 OBJS +=divdi3 endif or whatever05:16
zulgimme a sec..05:16
mjg59Oh, or is CONFIG_X86 defined for amd6405:17
mjg59Wargh05:17
mjg59ifndef CONFIG_X86_64 or whatever, then :)05:17
mjg59ifeq ($(CONFIG_X86_64),n)05:18
mjg59OBJS += divdi3.o05:18
mjg59endif05:18
zulokie dokie ill make a patch05:18
mjg59And then remove divdi3 from the first OBJS05:18
zulthat syskonnect stuff is a pain in the ass05:18
mjg59Hm05:18
mjg59Then ndiswrapper needs enabling on the x86 kernel configs05:20
mjg59I've poked elmo to get the userspace stuff done05:20
mjg59Then I have a patch to get it to load the driver for my card...05:20
zulmmmmm...ok05:20
mjg59x86_64 kernel configs, that is05:21
zulcool...ill get to it as soon as i get this test kernel to build05:22
mjg59Rock, thanks05:22
zulno prob05:24
zul*sigh* at least one of my patches work05:51
mjg59:)05:52
zulmjg59, its building ill commit it tomorrow05:54

pawdrodoes anyone know if kernel newer than 2.6.10-5 has better memory usage, because i have 256 ram and in many cases ive got 3-6mb ram free04:19
pawdrousing ubuntu04:20
zulpawdro which kernel are using? 386?04:23
pawdro38604:23
pawdroive got 1.2GHz04:23
pawdrocomputer04:23
zultry using the 686 kernel04:24
pawdrohmm04:26
mjg59pawdro: Having little free memory is good04:29
mjg59The kernel will use it to cache stuff04:29
pawdromjg59: why's that?04:29
mjg59It'll throw it away when you need more RAM04:29
mjg59There's no point in having RAM that isn't used for something04:29
pawdrobut if I buy another 512, it'll speed up? won't it?04:34
mjg59Probably a little, yes04:35
mjg59It depends what you're running04:35
pawdrorecently firefox(2-4 tabs) xmms 04:37
pawdroand gadu gadu client04:38
pawdrou'll probably wont know it04:38
pawdroand it's impossible to see some avi because ive got 3-4 ram free and movie slows down04:39
pawdro:/04:39
mjg59pawdro: This is very unlikely04:40
mjg59pawdro: The figure you want to look at is the line that says -/+ buffers/cache:04:40
pawdrohow can I check it?04:40
mjg59pawdro: Run "free"04:40
pawdroyes;] 04:41
mjg59pawdro: This is the wrong place to be asking - #ubuntu would be better04:41
pawdrook ok04:41
=== sivang [n=sivang@box79162.elkhouse.de] has left #ubuntu-kernel []
marcin_antpawdro, remember that linux uses a lot of ram for buffer04:56
marcin_antpawdro, so in fact this ram is not used but taken for buffers04:56
marcin_antpawdro, you need to run free04:56
marcin_antpawdro, and take a look on second line of it's output04:56
BenCmarcin_ant: hey04:57
marcin_antpawdro, in first line you got 'used' and in second you got 'used - buffers'04:57
marcin_antBenC, hi04:57
pawdromarcin_ant: can I paste 'free' here?04:57
marcin_antpawdro, well propably yes04:58
marcin_antpawdro, I won't scream ;)04:58
marcin_antBenC, and what about this asus acpi thing?04:58
pawdrobut i can be kicked:>04:58
BenCmarcin_ant: you may want to contact the ACPI upstream maintainer and get him a copy of your dsdt to see why there is a parse error04:58
pawdroor not:p04:58
pawdro             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached04:59
pawdroMem:        256808     241396      15412          0       5584      9382404:59
pawdro-/+ buffers/cache:     141988     11482004:59
pawdroSwap:       626524      29896     59662804:59
pawdroso any conclusions?04:59
BenCmarcin_ant: have you tested that system with windows?04:59
marcin_antBenC, yes04:59
BenCdoes windows see the battery?04:59
marcin_antBenC, it works ok - this battery is ACPI\PNP0C0A\O (ISA) Microsoft ACPI blablabla somethingsomething I don't remember :)05:00
marcin_antpawdro, pretty simple situation05:00
pawdro?05:00
pawdroand?05:01
marcin_antpawdro, your system uses 242396 but 141988 is really taken05:01
marcin_antpawdro, and 114820 goes for buffers/cache05:01
zulhey BenC 05:01
pawdrook05:01
mjg59pawdro: You have 114MB of free memory05:01
BenChey zul05:01
zulhow is it going?05:01
BenCnot too bad05:02
BenCzul: you have several patches in your repo?05:02
pawdromjg59: there's nothing i can do to improove it?05:02
mjg59pawdro: In what way? You have plenty of free memory05:02
mjg59BenC: Are you doing another build before preview?05:02
zulyeah you already merged them, i had the same patches that you already commited05:02
marcin_antpawdro, you can turn off firefox,xmms, gadu gadu and Xfree and work with emacs on console ;)05:03
BenCmjg59: I don't have a timeframe for another build, other than when I can get as many fixes as possible into the repo05:03
marcin_antpawdro, you will only have to download ekg as gg client ;)05:03
BenCzul: really? damn, sorry05:03
mjg59BenC: Ok05:03
zulno problem...thats why we should sit down and not duplicate each other05:03
mjg59BenC: I've got a few fixes for input stuff for you05:04
BenCwell, I saw one you said you would get, but I didn't notice till after I did it05:04
pawdromarcin_ant: I see :D but there's no way to improve it? like changing parameters or changing scripts?05:04
pawdroor I have to buy some ram05:04
pawdro:>05:04
zulBenC, yeah i know05:04
mjg59pawdro: Why do you want more RAM? You have plenty of free RAM05:04
marcin_antpawdro, but seriously if you got problems with avi it's propably problem with player/codecs/video output settings/your graphics card driver05:04
BenCmjg59: cool, send them whenever you're ready05:04
pawdroin fututre (next 2 monts) I want to use eclipse05:05
pawdroand it's required 512 ram05:05
zulBenC, besides none of my patches are applying corectly anyways05:05
pawdroso I have to buy another 512 ram05:05
pawdroor more?05:05
marcin_antpawdro, you propably can get some extra speed by tweaking hdparm settings05:05
marcin_antpawdro, 512 for eclipse is minimum05:05
pawdromarcin_ant: it's tweaked;] 05:05
marcin_antpawdro, I suggest emacs - it's much better than eclipse ;)05:06
pawdromarcin_ant: so U suggest to buy 512 or 1gb?05:06
marcin_antpawdro, it depends what do you want to do with eclipse05:06
pawdrowrite programs:d05:06
pawdroand start learning it05:06
marcin_antpawdro, java programs or java websites?05:06
pawdromaby db or cryptography05:06
pawdroprograms05:07
pawdroand things i mentioned05:07
marcin_antpawdro, then 512 propably will be enough05:07
marcin_antpawdro, 512 is not enough if you want to hack some servlets and run at least one tomcat instance05:07
marcin_antpawdro, you got 1,2 Athlon right?05:08
zulmjg59, ill commit the ndiswrapper stuff after i finished my work work05:08
pawdromarcin_ant: buying 512 ill hace 76805:08
pawdrohave*05:08
pawdroceleron  1.2 tualatin05:08
pawdroand ram is dimm sdram05:08
pawdro:/05:08
pawdrounfortunatelly05:08
marcin_antwell then 768 will be definetly enough05:09
marcin_antbut believe me - eclipse will not run _fast_ on this machine05:09
pawdromarcin_ant: I suppose05:09
pawdroand i'm thinking about jbuilder 200505:09
marcin_antI got Athlon 1,2 GHz with 512 ddr and eclipse from ubuntu breezy05:09
pawdrobut it's not discussion for that channel05:10
marcin_ant(compiled with gcj) is acceptable but slow05:10
pawdroyhm05:10
zulplease take it to #ubuntu guys05:10
pawdrook05:10
marcin_antin fact eclipse is _fast_ on >3 GHz machines05:10
marcin_antzul, ok05:10
mjg59zul: Thanks!05:11
marcin_ant:)05:11
marcin_antsorry ;)05:11
pawdro;] 05:11
pawdrosorry 205:11
pawdromarcin_ant: r u pole?05:11
mjg59zul: Still having trouble with the sk98lin stuff?05:26
zulyeah..patch kind of works but it doesnt will look at it this week05:26
