BenC | add it to /boot/grub/menu.lst in the kopt | 02:04 |
BenC | and rerun update-grub | 02:04 |

infinity | BenC : Pong. | 04:30 |
BenC | infinity: with -8.0, I am doing a lrm 2.6.15.3-1 | 06:26 |
BenC | new acx firmware and filenames for that firmware | 06:26 |
BenC | -8.10 I mean | 06:26 |
BenC | just a heads up | 06:27 |
fabbione | morning | 07:03 |
BenC | hey fabbione | 07:04 |
fabbione | hey Ben | 07:04 |
fabbione | BenC: I got a regression somewhere, but i think it's udev related | 07:04 |
fabbione | midiC$something devices are now created in /dev instead of /dev/snd | 07:05 |
fabbione | that's one | 07:05 |
fabbione | the airo module for pci cards is problematic | 07:05 |
fabbione | it is loaded properly but it doesn't work at the first shot | 07:05 |
fabbione | i need to unload and reload to make it going | 07:05 |
fabbione | reproducible quite often. what do you want me to do to try debugging it? | 07:06 |
BenC | airo cs works perfectly for me, that's weird | 07:06 |
fabbione | airo cs yes | 07:06 |
fabbione | this is Pci | 07:06 |
BenC | not sure, is it a regression? | 07:07 |
fabbione | yes.. | 07:07 |
fabbione | it also tends to change interface name | 07:07 |
BenC | want to start recompiling kernels? :) | 07:07 |
fabbione | like at the first time is eth2 | 07:07 |
fabbione | unload -> reload -> eth0 ? | 07:07 |
fabbione | yeah sure i have no problems with that | 07:07 |
BenC | not sure about that | 07:07 |
fabbione | recompilng it's not an issue | 07:07 |
fabbione | one of the pci ethernet (marvell) always shows up as eth1 | 07:08 |
fabbione | even if alone on the system.. | 07:08 |
BenC | ok, you'll need git | 07:08 |
fabbione | it's kind of weird | 07:08 |
BenC | and compile out of the tree | 07:08 |
fabbione | yeah | 07:08 |
fabbione | will try that during the week | 07:08 |
BenC | git-log, find hte sha1's for "Linux v2.6.1[432] " | 07:08 |
BenC | git-branch 2.6.14 <sha1> | 07:09 |
fabbione | i know it works on .12 | 07:09 |
BenC | do that for 2.6.1[432] | 07:09 |
BenC | git-checkout 2.6.13 | 07:09 |
fabbione | yup | 07:09 |
BenC | build, and if it breaks, good, if not try 2.6.14 | 07:09 |
fabbione | eheheh | 07:09 |
BenC | once you find work/nowork | 07:10 |
BenC | then start using git-bisect | 07:10 |
fabbione | what does that do? | 07:10 |
BenC | you could just start out with 2.6.12 and HEAD | 07:10 |
BenC | git-bisect makes your life a lot easier :) | 07:10 |
BenC | git-bisect start | 07:10 |
BenC | git-bisect good 2.6.12 | 07:11 |
BenC | git-bisect bad HEAD | 07:11 |
BenC | it will bisect the commits, and checkout at the middle point | 07:11 |
BenC | you build, you test, and you come back and do "git-bisect <good|bad>" | 07:11 |
BenC | it wil bisect again, and you keep doing that cycle until it tells you "This commit broke it" | 07:12 |
fabbione | ah cooooolness! | 07:12 |
BenC | good/bad depends on whether your test suceeded or failed | 07:12 |
fabbione | yeps | 07:12 |
fabbione | that was clear | 07:12 |
BenC | it's so simple I feel I have to overexplain it :) | 07:13 |
fabbione | ahah | 07:13 |
BenC | it's what I used to track down the sparc64 oops on my e3k | 07:13 |
fabbione | yeah it makes sense | 07:15 |
fabbione | assuming that when you bisect you can actually build | 07:15 |
BenC | yeah, you can bump up/down the commit it stops at if you hit a bad spot | 07:17 |
fabbione | i see you are brave enough to readd misdn | 07:18 |
fabbione | it was removed because upstream sucks | 07:19 |
BenC | doko requested it | 07:19 |
fabbione | at least it did at that the time | 07:19 |
BenC | it's compiling cleanly | 07:19 |
fabbione | ok | 07:19 |
fabbione | they must have started again | 07:19 |
fabbione | it was OOPSorama in hoary | 07:19 |
BenC | heh, didn't say I tried using it :) | 07:19 |
fabbione | .../usb/media/podxtpro/.tmp_versions/podxtpro.mod | 2 | 07:19 |
fabbione | i think there is a leftover in git | 07:20 |
fabbione | yeah | 07:20 |
fabbione | create mode 100644 drivers/usb/media/podxtpro/.tmp_versions/podxtpro.mod | 07:20 |
BenC | thanks, removed | 07:21 |
fabbione | no problem.. i just woke up and bored to death as you can see ;) | 07:21 |
BenC | heh, try perusing bugs for 3 days | 07:22 |
BenC | I think I've gone through half of them | 07:22 |
BenC | bad thing is, if I stop now, I don't think I'll remember where I left off | 07:22 |
fabbione | ahah | 07:22 |
fabbione | [UBUNTU:debian] Add ABI files (missing hppa and sparc still) | 07:23 |
fabbione | <- they are in the archive now | 07:23 |
fabbione | if you want i can push them | 07:23 |
BenC | I have them | 07:23 |
fabbione | up to you | 07:23 |
fabbione | ok | 07:23 |
BenC | just need to commit it | 07:23 |
BenC | my abi grabbing script is smooth | 07:23 |
BenC | I need to put it in the debian/bin/ | 07:24 |
fabbione | that's a good idea | 07:25 |
fabbione | hmmm smoke :) | 07:27 |
infinity | BenC : Which firmware are you grabbing for acx_pci stuff?... I've been all over the interweb and seen many conflicting reports on what we should be shipping. | 08:33 |
infinity | BenC : Also, I already rolled a .3 with updated nvidia and ati drivers, so we may as well just do this all at once. | 08:33 |
infinity | BenC : And I'm going to send out a mail to -devel/-users today to have people test vga16fb at 640x400 with kernels I've tossed on people.ubunut.com. Would it be worth holding off on -8.10 until I gte reports back from that? | 08:34 |

BenC | infinity: sorry, went to bed | 02:57 |
BenC | infinity: but yeah, I can hold off. I'll get you a tarball of the firmware I have | 02:57 |
BenC | infinity: bad thing is there is a table of firmware, different cards need different versions, but the driver (even the new one) isn't smart enough right now to load different versions for different cards | 02:58 |
BenC | the new driver is smarter than the old one though | 02:58 |
BenC | like the RADIO16.BIN thing is totally broken with the new driver | 02:58 |
BenC | you have to have a pristine firmware tree (no firmware of other names that it looks for) in order for things to load right | 02:59 |
BenC | so you really can't have acx100 and acx111 firmware sitting together | 03:00 |
BenC | infinity: I have an idea | 03:43 |
BenC | infinity: so wake up! :) | 03:44 |
=== infinity is here. | ||
infinity | About to send mail to -users and -devel about the vga16fb thing, so I'm here for a few minutes. | 03:59 |
infinity | What's your stellar idea? | 03:59 |
infinity | (Can we not just fix acx_pci to DTRT about firmware, whatever TRT is?) | 03:59 |
infinity | Map certain filenames to PCI IDs or something? | 04:00 |
infinity | (or something less crude, if that's possible) | 04:00 |
infinity | BenC : flashy noisy nick alert. | 04:00 |
BenC | hey | 04:13 |
BenC | I have a fw tarball | 04:13 |
BenC | several different versions for acx100/usb acx100/pci and acx111/pci | 04:14 |
BenC | we'll have a default (newest version) | 04:14 |
BenC | and the module will take firmware_ver=X.X.X to use a different version if they need to | 04:14 |
BenC | if they have do that to get it to work, they'll be instructed to send us lspci/lsusb output so we can code it into driver | 04:15 |
BenC | infinity: flash back | 04:15 |
BenC | I'll send you the tarball when I'm done | 04:16 |

infinity | Anyonw want to give this a quick read? | 04:22 |
infinity | http://cerberus.0c3.net/~adconrad/vga16fb.txt | 04:23 |
infinity | BenC : Does acx_pci even support USB devices?... Or do we now have an acx_usb or something? | 04:23 |
infinity | BenC : Also,want to read over that mail before I hit "send"? | 04:23 |
BenC | we have acx_usb | 04:23 |
BenC | but, the new driver is usb/pci combined | 04:24 |
BenC | yeah | 04:24 |
BenC | it's just acx.ko | 04:24 |
infinity | Anyhow, however you work the firmware is up to you, since you have to maintain that driver. | 04:24 |
infinity | I just hope it works "out of the box" for the majoriy of users, and requires tweaking for a tiny subset. | 04:24 |
infinity | Oh, while I'm asking them to give me output proving they're not doing something dumb, "lsmod | grep fb" might be nice too. | 04:28 |
infinity | Updated. | 04:31 |
=== infinity prepares to click "send" and head to bed... | ||

BenC | yep :) | 04:37 |
infinity | Ignore the few spelling mistakes (timstamp -> timestamp, etc), I just spellchecked in Thunderbird. That's all fixed. | 04:37 |
BenC | btw, ia64 has vga16fb and vesafb now | 04:38 |
infinity | Just want to know if the general procedure gets the point across and if you think it'll generate useful reports from otherwise not-always-useful-but-well-meaning users. | 04:38 |
infinity | Sure, but our users don't run ia64. You can test it for me there, if you want. :) | 04:38 |
BenC | I'll also test it on my nvidia geforce4 with tvout | 04:38 |
BenC | can't yet, waiting for lamont to get my elilo that supports initramfs :) | 04:38 |
infinity | I thought he already uploaded it to Debian..? | 04:39 |
infinity | Or was he just talking about it? | 04:39 |
infinity | Anyhow. Text looks sane? | 04:39 |
BenC | yeah | 04:39 |

infinity | I hope I don't get moderated into oblivion on -users... I can never remember what address I have subscribed there. | 04:40 |

BenC | it's not going to be the official one, is it? :) | 04:44 |
infinity | Also, I don't expect this to change your tvout situation at all, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if it does. | 04:44 |
infinity | No, it was just a quick hack to shrink the artwork. | 04:45 |
infinity | I'll put a proper one back in in the next upload. | 04:45 |

BenC | weird | 04:59 |
infinity | I don't like the sounds of that. | 04:59 |
BenC | I don't even see the usplash screen, but my system stays in 640x400-70, and the console works great | 04:59 |
BenC | before vga16fb would break even console | 04:59 |
infinity | Did you have usplash 0.1-25 installed? | 04:59 |
BenC | wonder why I don't see it | 04:59 |
infinity | If you have -24 or earlier, your usplash will be black. | 04:59 |
infinity | Maybe I should have made that more explicit in the mail. :) | 05:00 |
BenC | I have 0.1-25 | 05:02 |
BenC | even reran update-initramfs -u to make sure | 05:02 |
infinity | Are you getting a black screen until usplash exits, or n ousplash at all, or..? | 05:02 |
infinity | What do you get if you run "usplash" as root from a console (and wait around for it to timeout and exit)? | 05:03 |
BenC | black screen | 05:04 |
infinity | Rather curious about console output after it exits, if any. | 05:04 |
BenC | seems to timeout on boot | 05:04 |
BenC | after it exits I get normal scrolling output | 05:04 |
infinity | Yeah, I mean if you run it manually right now. | 05:05 |
BenC | this system is only partially upgraded to dapper (just what the kernel needs) | 05:05 |
BenC | anything you can think of that I might need to upgrade too? | 05:05 |
BenC | how long does it take to timeout? | 05:06 |
infinity | Not off the top of my head. If usplash is using the right (read: mjg59's goofy temporay) artwork, and usplash is 0.1-25, it SHOULD work. | 05:06 |
infinity | Timeout if 15 seconds. | 05:06 |
infinity | s/if/is/ | 05:06 |
BenC | it timed out, and my screen stayed black | 05:06 |
infinity | Roughly. The timer seems a bit goofy on some systems. | 05:06 |
BenC | can't get console back now | 05:07 |
infinity | chvt to X and back? | 05:07 |
infinity | Anyhow, I think this means you and I have a date tomorrow to look into this more. | 05:07 |
infinity | Interesting that I've fixed your console, but broken usplash. | 05:08 |

BenC | czr: see topic | 11:23 |
czr | BenC, the topic didn't answer my question. problems solved though, I built my own git from sources | 11:26 |
BenC | yes it does | 11:26 |
BenC | it says to install git-core | 11:26 |
czr | it says to get git-core for dapper | 11:26 |
BenC | apt-get install git-core | 11:26 |
=== czr is running breezy | ||
czr | anyhow, problem solved. | 11:27 |
BenC | if you're building with the 2.6.15 configs, you'll have to be running dapper anyway, atleast a little | 11:28 |
BenC | breezy kernel-package will not like some things either | 11:28 |
BenC | so unless you are doing straight "make" and installing the vmlinuz and modules by-hand, you'll run into trouble | 11:29 |
czr | well, I wasn't going to build kernels actually | 11:29 |
czr | wanted to check whether the ext2online resizing patches are present in the kernel sources or not | 11:29 |
BenC | the git repo is not for breezy | 11:29 |
BenC | breezy kernel is in baz | 11:29 |
czr | I noticed. baz? | 11:29 |
BenC | or just "apt-get source linux-source-2.6.12" | 11:29 |
czr | ok, thanks | 11:30 |
BenC | you'll need to enable deb-src line in your sources.list | 11:30 |
czr | yeah, I've been using debian for about 6 years, I think I'll manage ;-) | 11:30 |
BenC | then why didn't you do apt-get source to start with? :) | 11:31 |
czr | someone just pointed to the wiki page so I thought that is the way in ubuntu :-) | 11:31 |
czr | is there a nice list of patches applied versus vanilla anywhere? | 11:32 |
BenC | debian/patches/ | 11:32 |
czr | thanks | 11:32 |
BenC | also, there's a list in /usr/share/doc/linux-image-2.6.12-9*/ | 11:32 |
czr | -10 now I think | 11:33 |
BenC | FYI, Ubuntu isn't that much different from debian, so whereever you look there, chances are it's the same way on ubuntu | 11:33 |
=== czr nods | ||
czr | maybe I'm going the wrong way about it though. the problem is that ext2online doesn't work on breezy over LVM2 | 11:34 |
czr | and it works on RHEL4u2 | 11:34 |
czr | so I should really look at RH kernel sources first to locate the stuff that they put there | 11:35 |
BenC | does it need a patch to work? | 11:35 |
dilinger | yes | 11:35 |
dilinger | rhel has had a patch in there for a while | 11:35 |
czr | I think so | 11:35 |
dilinger | it was merged into upstream at some point, i forget when | 11:35 |
BenC | I'm pretty sure we don't have that patch | 11:35 |
czr | well, ext2online fails on breezy, so breezy doesn't | 11:35 |
BenC | unless it's in upstream, then dapper would probably have it | 11:35 |
BenC | what is ext2online? | 11:36 |
czr | although I'm not sure why ext2online fails. All I get is 'resize failed while in kernel' :--) | 11:36 |
czr | grows ext2/3 fs:s while they're mounted | 11:36 |
dilinger | it's an old patch by andreas dilger | 11:36 |
czr | comes in ext2resize-package (breezy/univ) | 11:36 |
czr | dilinger, you sure about the upstream merge? | 11:37 |
dilinger | positive | 11:38 |
dilinger | i remember being very pleased when it happened | 11:38 |
czr | great | 11:38 |
czr | RH had some problems getting it into RHEL4 :-) only got there in update2 | 11:39 |
czr | which kernel will dapper be using? | 11:39 |
czr | -15? | 11:39 |
BenC | yes | 11:39 |

czr | hmm. would the universe end if I'd build a -15 from vanilla sources manually and install it in breezy? | 11:40 |
czr | does udev need changes, etc? | 11:40 |
BenC | you may be missing some devices on your desktop | 11:43 |
BenC | but generally it should work | 11:43 |
BenC | it doesn't take a whole lot to install the dapper kernel | 11:44 |
BenC | it only updates a few packages | 11:44 |
BenC | udev mainly, and it will remove hotplug, since it's obsolete | 11:44 |
czr | ah, will all the hotplug helper scripts go too? | 11:44 |
BenC | yeah, but udev handles it mostly | 11:44 |
BenC | may want to add "auto eth0" to /etc/network/interfaces though | 11:45 |
czr | yes, I wondered about that in some distros which have both udev and hotplug scripts | 11:45 |
BenC | 2.6.15 allowed udev to be cleaned up a lot, and hotplug to just disappear | 11:45 |
czr | ah, it's using hotplug. good idea | 11:45 |
czr | well, I'll give it a spin soon | 11:46 |
czr | the ext2online is really nice feature | 11:46 |

dilinger | i wonder if he's still working for cfs | 11:57 |
czr | ah, thanks dilinger | 12:03 |
