[12:50] ispiked: What hardware? [12:50] mjg59: the same as you. [12:50] mjg59: dell d610. [12:50] Have you got the latest acpi-support ?

[04:26] "suspend the computer" [04:26] Oh, the Gnome one? No, that triggers gdm to execute pmi [04:27] mjg59: what is that? [04:27] It's a script that ends up executing /etc/acpi/sleep.sh, so it's broadly the same [04:34] it'd be nice if scroll lock would work (with the light, too). [04:34] might file a bug for that.

[02:10] ok [02:11] hey BenC [02:11] i was just talking with Kamion [02:11] i did fix a couple of kernel d-i things for him [02:11] mind to pull from my repo? [02:12] doing that now [02:12] thanks [02:14] hmmm [02:14] if you have time it would be a good idea to fire up a full build on sparc [02:14] mine is chaoking on OOo2, gcc-3.4 and gcj-4.1 [02:14] these d-i changes are always hairy without a build [02:14] the other arches are ok [02:15] I do full builds on all 6 arches before release [02:16] ah cool [02:16] even better [02:16] sparc64 is done in 12 minutes, so it's easiest :) [02:16] BenC: i was wondering.. can i get access to your sparc somehow that doesn't distrurb you? [02:16] disturb [02:16] yeah, I can try setting that up today [02:16] since you use the box for testing [02:17] i could just use it while you sleep to push some big pkgs to a fine tuned buildd there [02:17] and skip stuff like gcc-* here [02:17] i will send you my ssh key [02:17] no need to run TODAY [02:17] sometimes, when you have time [02:18] sure thing, I'll setup dchroot for you and sudo access inside that chroot [02:18] nah [02:18] i will send you a chroot :) [02:18] ok, just send a url, and I'll unpack the chroot :) [02:20] BenC: sure.. i just need to pack it first ;) [02:21] don't forget your rootkit :) [02:21] of course :) [02:22] it's funny when people tell us: "no you can't get access to my machine to debug this kernel problem.."

[03:15] see how they go, and if they start breaking shit, back them out [03:15] unless I can fix them (or jgarzik can help me) [03:16] The obvious breakage is that drives will move from hda to sda [03:16] I don't think he's keen on me using them in the dist [03:16] hmm [03:16] On the other hand, it means we can do hotswap properly [03:16] upgrades will get messy though [03:17] maybe I can default the combined_mode to IDE === CataEnry [n=Enrico@host149-23.pool8250.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [03:17] until lately I hadn't realized how much of a mess things were between ide and ata/sata/pata [03:21] what do you suggest?

[05:48] infinity: both [05:48] infinity: so i'd just need to backport udev? [05:48] dilinger: you'll have to sync a few packages to dapper aswell [05:49] mainly udev, and ditch hotplug [05:49] BenC : Well?.. :) [05:49] ok [05:49] thanks [05:49] i'll give it a shot on my laptop, first [05:49] and once i'm locked out of a usable system, i'll try the opteron server ;) [05:49] infinity: should/could I add server-{low,high}end to lrm? [05:50] Hrm. [05:50] Are we building wireless drivers for -server targets? [05:50] dilinger: you should be able to add dapper to sources.list, and install the kernel, and then remove it [05:51] infinity: right now, -server is just a tuned version of the normal targets (HZ, disable-preempt) [05:51] same hw support [05:51] I assume that might change? [05:51] For now, I wouldn't bother. We'll discuss it later. [05:51] highend supports numa/bigsmp/summit/es7000 targets [05:51] ok [05:51] If we want atheros and acx_pci support, we'll have to do it. [05:52] I may want to tweak things to not bother including the video crap on -server targets. [05:52] well, all the kernel video crap is in there too [05:52] I hope that will go away. [05:52] me too [05:53] But, yeah. Let's discuss it tomorrow. [05:53] If you're doing an LRM/linux-meta ABI bump tonight, just leave restricted out of the server stuff in linux-meta for now. [05:53] We'll sort it later when we're sure what we want. === ..[topic/#ubuntu-kernel:BenC] : Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | New git tree for dapper: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide | 2.6.15-7.9 uploaded (The "My momma made me do it" release) [05:54] ok [05:54] ehhehe [05:54] cool [05:54] new crack :) [05:54] BenC: btw.. it's GO on ppc.. or at least it was last pull i did [05:54] dunno if you read the scrollback === ispiked [n=ispiked@Lee-12-238.rh.ncsu.edu] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [05:54] i did also test the Airport Extreme2 driver [05:54] but it fails on me [05:55] mjg59 got it working [05:55] BenC: are you getting any feedback on CD-ROM/DMA issues since we switched to 2.6.15? [05:55] you have to do some manual shit [05:55] fabbione: I had to do: [05:55] mdz: zero [05:55] interesting [05:55] only thing I've heard about cdrom was the atapi stuff with sata controllers [05:55] and that was a seperate issue [05:56] I thought we'd fixed that long ago [05:56] iwconfig foo essid bar; iwconfig foo channel baz; ifconfig foo up; iwlist scan; iwconfig foo essid bang [05:56] BenC : Keybuk fed you a patch for ide stuff that fixed mdz's DMA issues, no? [05:56] infinity: yes [05:56] (And the CDROM on sata thing should be fixed in this upload too, right?) [05:56] BenC: is that in -7.9? [05:56] mjg59: trying now.. but i have no idea what chan i am using [05:56] it wasn't dma directly, it was ide-generic/modular-ide crack [05:56] mjg59: how can i figure that out? [05:57] BenC: is modular ide a bad idea? why isn't it upstream? [05:57] mdz_: IDE maintainer is a pain [05:57] BenC : For LRM's ABI bump, you should be able to just bump "abi_version" in debian/rules, add a new changelog entry, and build the source package. (make sure you have kernel-wedge installed) [05:57] BenC : Should be smooth sailing. [05:57] breezy's ide was that it loaded all the ide controller drivers, and then ide-generic, and let them fight it out, then removed any that didn't win [05:57] that doesn't work for dapper [05:58] infinity: yeah, I have it ready to upload once I see a success report for atleast one arch :) [05:58] BenC : Rock. [05:58] Kay, I'm off to bed, then. We'll revisit the LRM-on-server-kernels thing later. [05:58] mdz: the way breezy handled drivers grabbing devices was bad [05:58] mjg59: my T42 with 2.6.15-6 failed to come back from STR today [05:59] dapper will low the correct drivers instead of doing a free-for-all [05:59] s/low/load/ [05:59] mdz_: When suspended, did it have the hard drive LED on? [05:59] (previously /sys/power/state was empty, but that's fixed now) [05:59] mjg59: it wasn't on when I tried to resume at least [05:59] if anything doesn't get loaded, or is loaded incorrectly, Keybuk assures me he will correct it in initramfs :) [06:00] the moon light was on, though the fan was still running [06:00] mdz_: If the fan was still running, it hadn't suspended [06:00] or maybe it was just radiating heat [06:00] anyway it was hot [06:00] Right [06:00] Sounds like it froze on the way down [06:00] I've had my Thinkpad do something like that. I'll look into it. [06:00] any testing I can do? [06:01] mjg59: do you get this in your dmesg: [26120.102096] bcm43xx: FIXME: Possibly broken code in bcm43xx_phy_setupg() at drivers/net/wireless/bcm43xx/bcm43xx_phy.c:346 [06:01] mdz: btw, I don't think we are going to do kernel-wedge and kernel-package merging for dapper [06:01] See if it's reproducible? [06:01] fabbione: Yeah [06:01] mjg59: hmmmm [06:01] BenC: something scary there? [06:01] what channel should i use? [06:01] things work for us now, and kernel-package 10 in debian is way way way different [06:01] fabbione: Whatever channel your AP is on [06:01] mjg59: i have no clue... [06:01] we have patches in wedge and package for powerpc stuff, and custom update-initramfs usage [06:02] fabbione: iwlist scan should tell you === fabbione tries again from scratch [06:02] mdz: it's not impossible to merge those into the new packages, just that there's no pressing need to do so, that I can see [06:02] BenC: bugfixes? [06:02] that's the usual reason [06:03] most of the bugs fixes between our version and 10 in debian, is fixing things that broke when they split the debian/rules file up [06:05] mdz: -7.9 has -server kernels for i386, btw [06:05] BenC: so it'll need queue/new processing on i386? [06:05] yes [06:06] it's an abi bump anyway [06:06] ah, right [06:06] BenC: what's new and cool in the server flavour? [06:06] Keybuk: could you take a look at debian #342057, BusLogic not loaded because !sysfs (seems needed for vmware testing of initramfs-tools). [06:06] abi tracking will start with this upload too [06:06] mdz: HZ is down to 100 (suggested for server), and preempt is disables (enabled for desktop) [06:06] that's for low/high end server [06:07] highend also has generic bigsmp/numa/summit/es7000 support [06:07] 64CPU max, and 64Gig max [06:08] BenC: sounds like material for https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes [06:08] BenC: please add an entry there under the server section [06:08] ok [06:09] mdz_: the -server kernels will land only on the -server CD [06:09] we will install by default the low end, with high end available [06:10] would be nice if we could detect highend [06:12] mjg59: do you have a 54M net at home? [06:12] fabbione: No [06:12] did you force the speed? [06:12] Yup [06:12] Sorry, forgot to mention that === fabbione hits mjg59 [06:12] ;) [06:12] It doesn't do speed autonegotiation properly yet [06:12] where in that process? [06:12] or just after [06:13] my ap doesn't feel the mac at all [06:14] actually [06:14] did you use dhcp on top? [06:14] or just static === fabbione mumbles a bit [06:16] Either [06:16] dmesg should show that it's authenticated if it's been successful [06:16] mdz: added [06:17] [ 450.499743] SoftMAC: Sending Authentication Request to 00:04:e2:d9:0a:dc. [06:17] it doesn't when i am in 11MB [06:17] fabbione: I think it ought to get a response, too [06:17] that's my neibourgh AP [06:17] 802.11g speeds currently don't work [06:17] that's at 54MB [06:17] Set it to 11 and then set the essid again? [06:17] o [06:17] maybe the AP is configured for g-only? [06:19] nope [06:19] i don't see any outgoing request to/from my AP [06:19] not even in dmesg [06:19] BenC: my ap is 11 only [06:19] it definetely can't do more than that [06:19] ah [06:19] fabbione: Does iwconfig show the correct essid and frequency? [06:19] i was trying my neighbour only becuase it's 54MB :) [06:20] i can see the frequency keep changing [06:20] otherwise the essid is fine [06:20] Uhm. [06:20] i wonder if the fact that i am not broadcasting the essid might confuse the driver [06:20] Have you explicitly set the channel? [06:20] yes [06:20] Yes, that might currently break it, I guess === fabbione changes [06:22] *cough*fuck cisco*cough* [06:25] i can't even find how to do it again [06:40] woo [06:41] mjg59: i got the AP to see the interface and viceversa [06:41] Any joy? [06:41] but no IP joy [06:41] Cool [06:41] [ 557.190722] SoftMAC: Sending Authentication Request to 00:02:8a:21:18:59. [06:41] Try configuring it manually rather than using dhcp? [06:41] yes [06:41] that's what i am doing right now [06:43] no joy either [06:43] it complains about authentication [06:43] but i have no authentication config on my AP [06:43] only filters by mac-address [06:43] so it's open, no wep/wap? [06:45] nope [06:47] if i run iwscan list a few times in a raw i see the AP at intervals.. [06:47] but that might be normal [06:48] How does it complain? [06:51] BenC: getting bugreports on debian initramfs-tools of !sysfs drivers that are fixed in your tree? [06:51] SoftMAC: Rates not sorted! [06:52] SoftMAC: Authentication timed out with 00:02:8a:21:18:59 [06:52] BenC: could you push those to linus, are they already in mm? [06:52] makx: uh, say that again? :) [06:52] I'm not sure what you mean [06:53] buslogic has sysfs support in your tree for example. :) [06:53] mjg59: i will fight with it tomorrow again.. gotta cook dinner [06:53] s/sysfs/module-device-table/ you mean? [06:53] indeed magic keyword. [06:54] it's not proper support, it's just a hack to get udev/hotplug to load the driver [06:54] for linus to take it, the driver(s) would also need to be converted over to the PCI callbacks for hotplug support [06:55] right now they only probe when loaded, if you insert a new device, the module has to be unloaded/loaded again to probe it [06:55] these are the same things we had in breezy [06:55] BenC: Is he being all prissy now about correctness? Sheesh. ;) [06:56] it's a convenience, but IMO, it's lying to have a module-device-table and not be able to support the hotplug callbacks for which is was designed for :) [06:57] makx: what are the chances that debian would want to clone ubuntu's git tree, and sync non debian/* changes? [06:58] the major thing would be some of the non-free stuff that debian would want to ignore (and purge from it's branch) [07:04] BenC: i assume the git tree includes all the external drivers and patches? [07:04] debian doesn't really want to maintain that stuff, they'd only be interested in bugfixes === CataEnry [n=Enrico@host149-23.pool8250.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [07:14] Hi === jbailey_ [n=jbailey@modemcable139.249-203-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [07:18] BenC: you didn't pull the last changes to d-i? [07:23] they are not in the changelog === fabbione goes for dinner [07:29] BenC: if you can do that Kamion will love you [07:29] perhpas fire up a 7.10 right away? [07:29] bbl [07:29] I did a pull and saw two changes from you in git-log [07:29] yes [07:30] but the changelog in the archive doesn't have them [07:30] * Stop providing ext2-modules and ship it for all arches. [07:30] not sure why, did you commit it? [07:30] it's missing [07:30] oh crap [07:30] ext2-modules is not listed in debian/control, so I assume all is well [07:31] i didn't commit the changelog [07:31] heh, shame on you :) [07:31] if you check debian/d-i/i386/package-list [07:32] # This file is used to build up the control file. The kernel version and [07:32] # "-di" are appended to the package names. Section can be left out. So can [07:32] # architecture, which is derived from the files in the modules directory. [07:32] # It overwrites specifications from /usr/share/kernel-wedge/package-list. [07:32] # [07:32] Package: kernel-image [07:32] Package: fat-modules [07:32] Priority: standard [07:32] it should look like that [07:33] yeah, it does [07:33] ok [07:33] do you have d-i/sparc/modules/sparc64/ext2-modules ? [07:33] yep [07:34] great [07:34] than it's missing only the changelog entry === fabbione goes and sits in a corner [07:34] thanks dude [07:34] sorry for the panix [07:34] panic [07:35] no problem :) [07:36] i did add the changelog entry and committed it for the sake of completness [07:36] it should be in my archive if you want to pull it [07:36] and i must run to cook now :) [07:36] later [07:37] later === mdz_ [n=mdz@69-175-232-197.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === mdz_ [n=mdz@69-175-232-197.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === trevilor [i=gnu@p549CE2DA.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === mdz_ [n=mdz@69-175-232-197.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === jbailey [n=jbailey@modemcable139.249-203-24.mc.videotron.ca] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === mdz_ [n=mdz@69-175-232-197.vnnyca.adelphia.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [11:14] BenC: zero. [11:14] heh [11:14] you tree went in completly different direction. [11:14] unless ubuntu kept feature additions in a separate tree.. === mdke [n=matt@ubuntu/member/mdke] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [11:16] hi all. my laptop doesn't get very far into the boot process due to (i think) the hard drive getting a new device name under the new dapper system, I wondered if anyone fancied some debugging with me? [11:17] hmm what's your root on? [11:17] it is on /dev/sda7 [11:17] or rather, it was [11:17] i rather think that now it is on /dev/hda7 [11:17] timing trouble with udev picking up ide-generic before your sata driver. [11:17] do you have latest udev installed? [11:18] updated yesterday [11:18] what does dpkg -l udev show? [11:18] today I can't get close enough to boot [11:18] you don't have an old kernel to boot into??? [11:18] oh yeah i could do that [11:18] brb [11:20] if your initramfs got update too you need to pass some boot param to break at some point. [11:20] and then there is some manual stuff to load your right driver and kick off init. [11:25] makx, ok i can boot with the old kernel, but I had to reboot back into breezy again cos the network card isn't working [11:25] most of the initscripts didn't seem to start [11:25] anyhow, it is version 076 of udev [11:26] weird because I could boot yesterday, with the new kernel [11:26] which revision [11:26] ubuntu5 [11:26] is that right? [11:26] should be [11:26] oh well, no worky [11:27] fabbione on #ubuntu-boot had the same trouble as you. [11:27] maybe we have similar laptops [11:27] fabbione, did you resolve? [11:28] this hard drive is weird, it is sda for warty, hda for hoary, and sda again for breezy :) [11:28] well hda for hoary is because of the old kernel. [11:29] makx, ok so any ideas? shall i just file a bug? [11:29] ooh changed from warty to hoary, then no idea.. [11:29] well i'm debian initramfs-tools maintainer i could you get booted, but i've some work atm [11:29] i don't need to boot, but i'd like it to get fixed [11:30] so I'll file a bug [11:30] then check if there is not already a bug around against udev/initramfs-tools? [11:30] and add your lspci output info. [11:31] will do [11:31] will lspci from breezy be ok? [11:31] yes. [11:31] makx, thanks for your help [11:32] mdke: np, Keybuk on #ubuntu-boot is your udev dude. [11:32] yeah i will bother him [11:33] he is not around atm. [11:33] no he isn't [11:33] he'll get my bug :) [11:38] BenC: elilo tested and working [11:38] with initramfs? [11:39] not yet [11:39] well good that you could get it to work, because I was not having any luck even with initrd :) [11:40] BenC: http://people.debian.org/~lamont/elilo.efi [11:40] drop that in your efi directory and see how things go [11:41] mind you, you may want to rename the existing one to something else first, [11:41] so you can rename it back from efi-shell to get a working system afterwards... :) === lamont goes to a place where bluetooth is absent, so he can get his phone and headset happy again
