BenC | almost 150 bugs | 12:05 |
BenC | well, most were already fixed in breezy, a lot of others were fixed simply because we have 2.6.15 (containing patches needed) | 12:06 |
BenC | I did fix 30 or so in -8.10 though | 12:06 |
AcidPils | i would be happy if could fix this stupid segfault in my own code :( | 12:09 |

mgalvin | sorry to be annoying, but I am starting to write a review of flight 2, do we have an ETA of some kind? (today || end of the week)? | 03:44 |
infinity | "Soon" | 03:45 |
mjg59 | infinity: So, uh | 03:48 |
mjg59 | infinity: Is our ltmodem linked on boot like our fglrx and nvidia? | 03:48 |

BenC | go rent the full length video and enjoy! | 03:53 |
infinity | mjg59 : Yes. | 03:56 |
mjg59 | infinity: That's a relief | 03:56 |
infinity | BenC : -server-bigiron? | 03:56 |
mjg59 | Obvious GPL violation otherwise | 03:56 |
mjg59 | (They include Linux serial code) | 03:56 |
BenC | infinity: -server and -server-bigiron | 03:56 |
infinity | yes. Bug. -bigiron? :) | 03:57 |
infinity | mjg59 : Yeah, they have it in a seperate object, and we link them on boot. | 03:57 |
zul | BenC: i laid the groundwork for dbg in my development tree | 03:57 |
BenC | cool | 03:58 |
zul | just have to figure out the post-install crap | 03:58 |
infinity | s/Bug/But/ | 03:58 |
BenC | infinity: bug? | 03:58 |
BenC | oh, heh | 03:58 |
BenC | was agreed upon by several in #ubuntu-devel | 03:59 |
BenC | elmo, Kamion, and a few others | 03:59 |
BenC | bigiron being a word that only people who actually know what it is would consider installing the kernel | 03:59 |
infinity | Oh, sure, I don't get credit for the vga16fb change. :) | 03:59 |
BenC | shit, I meant to change that before finalizing | 03:59 |
BenC | sorry | 04:00 |
infinity | (Like I care) | 04:00 |
mjg59 | I did an identical change | 04:00 |
mjg59 | I claim copyright | 04:00 |

BenC | mjg59: FYI I did a hibernate on my P4 with intel IDE, and it worked fine | 05:17 |
BenC | usb and and wireless card came back up | 05:17 |
infinity | BenC : -8.10 is >= -rc5, right? | 05:28 |
infinity | Oh, rc5 is old, we must be caught up to that. | 05:32 |
BenC | no, -8.10 is -rc5 | 05:37 |
BenC | linus was gone for a week, and just got back | 05:37 |
BenC | he did a lot of merging yesterday, but it was too much for me to pull and be able to get -8.10 out for flight 2 on time | 05:37 |
infinity | Well, I did say ">=", not ">" | 05:38 |
infinity | So, we're on the same page. | 05:38 |
BenC | oh, missed that | 05:38 |
infinity | Woo, first attempt at compiling the new ATI driver fails MISERABLY. | 05:41 |
infinity | Go ATI. | 05:41 |
infinity | ... because they repacked the panel sources to exclude a header it needs... | 05:47 |
infinity | W... T... F... | 05:47 |
infinity | No other changes, except removing the header. | 05:47 |
infinity | HATE. | 05:47 |
BenC | lol | 05:55 |
fabbione | morning guys | 05:56 |
BenC | hey fabbione | 05:56 |
=== fabbione yawns | ||
infinity | OO, amd64 kernels are ready. | 05:57 |
fabbione | woo new crack | 05:57 |
BenC | amd64 always wins the first-build race | 05:58 |
fabbione | BenC: not always :) | 05:58 |
fabbione | there were times where sparc was winning :) | 05:58 |
infinity | Well, i386 has too many flavours. | 05:59 |
BenC | sparc only builds 2 kernels, it isn't allowed to compete yet :) | 05:59 |
fabbione | BenC: nah.. i was prebuilding the pkgs and made them enter the archive 5 minutes after the source :) | 05:59 |
BenC | lol | 05:59 |
infinity | CHEATING. | 06:00 |
fabbione | infinity: no.. they were properly sbuilded | 06:00 |
fabbione | you know.. that thing called pre-upload build test | 06:01 |
BenC | they had premature access to the source though :) | 06:01 |
infinity | CHEATING. | 06:01 |
infinity | And powerpc and i386 are in a dead heat for second place, both building packages right now.. | 06:02 |
infinity | ia64, as always, will be dead last (well, for the DC arches... I'm not sure where sparc and hppa fit in) | 06:02 |
fabbione | infinity: i would have done the same if we had m68k :) | 06:02 |
BenC | no, hppa is dead last | 06:03 |
infinity | m68k has too many subarches to play this game fairly. | 06:03 |
infinity | Slowest hardware in Debian, but we build more kernels than anyone else. | 06:03 |
fabbione | infinity: distcc :) | 06:04 |
infinity | If it were up to me, we'd drop all "old m68k" support, except for Amiga and Atari, and concentrate on ColdFire targets. | 06:04 |
fabbione | let's make an m68k cluster | 06:04 |
BenC | m68k is worse than i386 cpu's...I bet we could push min cpu for ia32 to 586 before debian got rid of m68k :) | 06:04 |
infinity | Who seriously wants to run a modern OS on a 68k Mac anyway? | 06:04 |
infinity | BenC : MY Amiga goes toe-to-toe with My Pentium 233MMX, so that seems fair. | 06:04 |
infinity | s/My/my/ ... Wow, I've been Microsofted. | 06:05 |
fabbione | ahaa | 06:05 |
infinity | Anyhow, if I can shoehorn ColdFire support into Debian's toolchain, m68k could become a reality for Ubuntu in microbuntu. | 06:06 |
infinity | Lots (and LOTS) of Linux/Coldfire projects out there right now in the embedded world. | 06:06 |
fabbione | infinity: what's Coldfire? | 06:07 |
infinity | ColdFire == Newage m68k. | 06:07 |
BenC | yeah, I have some Crestron equipment that I'd love to hack on | 06:07 |
infinity | Dropped a few "useless instructions", added a few new ones (hardware RNG and crypto accel, mostly), and bumped the speed a bit. | 06:07 |
BenC | does coldfire have mmu? | 06:08 |
infinity | Yeahp. | 06:08 |
infinity | Well, some do. Same at the oldskool m68k line, you can get them with and without MMU. | 06:08 |
BenC | I'd love to have ubuntu boot on my crestron touchscreen RF remove :) | 06:08 |
infinity | Obviously, we'd target the MMU varienty. The 68knommu target is much less interesting to Ubuntu. | 06:08 |
BenC | *remote | 06:09 |
infinity | The fastest ColdFires look to be on par with mid-range ARM, so it's no slouch. | 06:09 |
infinity | Not "fast", but "fast enough". | 06:09 |
BenC | it's got 32Megs of ram and 8megs of flash, plenty enough for OOo, firefox, and all of gnome | 06:10 |
infinity | (And very, very low power, hence why it's being used places where people are saying no to ARM) | 06:10 |
infinity | Oh, hey, LRM built. That can't be right. | 06:10 |
infinity | It surely MUST be broken. | 06:10 |
=== infinity oozes confidence. | ||
BenC | so lrm is uploaded? | 06:17 |
infinity | Nah. Testing on machines here to make sure I didn't bugger it. | 06:18 |
infinity | But I already uploaded the .orig.tar.gz to chinstrap, so I can fire off the rest rapidly when the kernel headers get NEWed. | 06:18 |
infinity | That 80 meg upload is hell on my connection. | 06:19 |
BenC | I have linux-meta ready | 06:20 |
infinity | Did you actually bump the ABI this time? :P | 06:21 |
infinity | (Last time it was a changelog entry with no debian/rules change..) | 06:21 |
BenC | yes :P | 06:23 |
infinity | Hey, someone has to keep you kernel genius types from getting a big head. :) | 06:24 |
BenC | my wife is good at stiffling my ego | 06:24 |
infinity | If by "stifling your ego", you mean "crushing your soul", mine's pretty good at that too. | 06:25 |
infinity | Is hppa still gcc-3.4 in this upload (and still the only gcc-3.4 arch)? | 06:25 |
BenC | yeah | 06:26 |
infinity | Hrm. | 06:26 |
infinity | Can I reliably extract the compiler from /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-$(ABI)/Makefile or something, rather than hardcoding it in each LRM upload? | 06:27 |
BenC | nah | 06:27 |
BenC | but if you used the kernel build system like a good module build, it would automatically do all this for you :) | 06:28 |
infinity | Some LRM modules do, not all. | 06:28 |
infinity | madwifi, for instance, is well-behaved. | 06:30 |
infinity | If it wasn't for that little ath_hal bit, I'm sure it would find its way into the main tree. | 06:30 |
=== infinity gets out and pushes his amd64 to build faster. | ||
infinity | BenC : -7.9 was also -rc5, yes? | 06:34 |
infinity | (or close enough)? | 06:34 |
BenC | close | 06:34 |
infinity | Kay. I'm testing some patches that were for "-rc5 and over", but I can't be bothered snagging the new kernels from the buildds to test... | 06:35 |
BenC | sweet, the big three are done | 06:35 |
infinity | Specifically, stuff targetted at the new vm_insert_page() stuff. | 06:36 |
BenC | anything new from nvidia for that? | 06:36 |
infinity | Yeah. Which is what I'm testing. :) | 06:36 |
BenC | I keep seeing WARN_ON()'s | 06:36 |
BenC | ah, cool | 06:36 |
infinity | Sometime, I need to sit down and backport some of these changes to the -legacy driver... | 06:38 |
infinity | Not that -legacy doesn't work, but I suspect it's getting flakier and flakier with each kernel release. | 06:38 |
fabbione | infinity: i assume we will have to drop it sooner or later | 06:39 |
fabbione | at a certain point it won't build anymore | 06:39 |
infinity | Upstream has committed to supporting it. | 06:40 |
infinity | zander keeps releasing patches for it. | 06:40 |
infinity | Just not as many as he does for the new driver. | 06:40 |
infinity | So, it builds, it works, it's just not as loved. | 06:41 |
fabbione | ok | 06:41 |
fabbione | hmm Kamion was mentioning a udeb pkg that does the default kernel selection in d-i | 06:45 |
fabbione | but i can't remember which one it is | 06:45 |
fabbione | ah there it is | 06:45 |
fabbione | base-installer | 06:45 |
infinity | Okay, NVIDIA stuff (old and new) works, now to test fglrx... Kiss the laptop goodbye. | 06:46 |
infinity | (fglrx will porbably still OOPS, from what I understand... ATI sucks) | 06:47 |
infinity | BenC : When do you expect 2.6.15 to be final? | 06:47 |
infinity | BenC : ATI "doesn't support unreleased kernels" like NVIDIA does. | 06:47 |
fabbione | infinity: i am pretty sure .15 is not too far from now | 06:47 |
infinity | Good. Then maybe the next fglrx release will stop sucking. | 06:48 |
infinity | Oh well, off to test this one anyway. | 06:48 |
fabbione | Linux v2.6.15-rc5 | 06:48 |
fabbione | 06:48 | |
fabbione | Hey, for no other reason than the fact that I'll be off-line for a | 06:48 |
fabbione | week. | 06:48 |
fabbione | 06:48 | |
fabbione | Of course, I could force everybody to just use git (and when I'm emperor | 06:48 |
fabbione | of the world, don't think I won't!), but it seems some people want to | 06:48 |
fabbione | just test official releases. Even if they are just -rc's. | 06:48 |
fabbione | 06:48 | |
fabbione | By the time I'm back, Andrew will have fixed all my bugs, and I'll | 06:48 |
fabbione | release it as 2.6.15 and take all the credit. | 06:48 |
fabbione | 06:48 | |
fabbione | Mwahahahaaa | 06:48 |
fabbione | 06:48 | |
fabbione | Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> | 06:48 |
infinity | What day was that? | 06:49 |
fabbione | Date: Sat Dec 3 21:10:42 2005 -0800 | 06:49 |
infinity | Okay, so triple his "one week" estimate, and that gives us a final release in 11 days or so. | 06:49 |
infinity | Not too bad. | 06:49 |
BenC | I think it will be a new years release | 06:50 |
BenC | christmas coming up, he wont be getting a lot done | 06:50 |

BenC | linux-meta uploaded, for the interested | 01:58 |
BenC | fabbione: ping | 01:59 |
jbailey | BenC: Hey - saw the unix.ko builtin in the changelog. I'm curious why you built it in, we loaded it in the initramfs. | 01:59 |
fabbione | BenC: pong | 02:00 |
fabbione | BenC: Adam did upload linux-meta too | 02:00 |
BenC | jbailey: Keybuk/Kamion said to build it in | 02:00 |
BenC | he did? | 02:00 |
fabbione | yes | 02:00 |
BenC | oh well, collision :) | 02:00 |
Kamion | jbailey: everything was loading it unconditionally - good sign that it should be built-in | 02:00 |
fabbione | BenC: what can i do for you? | 02:01 |
jbailey | Kamion: Except for larger kernels making building floppies and such suck a little bit more. | 02:01 |
BenC | fabbione: vtun is up if you want to push a kernel build | 02:01 |
Kamion | yeah, well I didn't really mind either way; I certainly see your argument | 02:01 |
fabbione | BenC: i am build gcj-4.1 now to track down the gcc (as) segfault | 02:01 |
fabbione | BenC: i noticed that the tunnel problems happen my side when the tunnel dies... | 02:02 |
Kamion | I didn't have any objections to building it in, but I don't think I said to build it in :) | 02:02 |
fabbione | so i could restart it easily | 02:02 |
BenC | fabbione: ah, didn't notice you were on there :) | 02:02 |
fabbione | BenC: eheheh i can sneak everywhere :P | 02:02 |
=== BenC feels violated | ||
fabbione | but vtun has a bug on the server side and doesn't ifconfig down / up when the tunnel restarts.. so it hangs | 02:02 |
fabbione | if i stop the server, ifconfig down, start the server, everything is cool | 02:03 |
BenC | Kamion: slight exageration on my part to avoid getting blamed :) | 02:03 |
fabbione | BenC: eheh :) | 02:03 |
jbailey | Kamion, BenC: It's not a big deal, since it's small. I'm occasionally hacking on floppy support for d-i in Debian. Having small kernels is really important. =) | 02:03 |
BenC | jbailey: does d-i itself need unix.ko? | 02:03 |
fabbione | BenC: did you see the mail from Claire? | 02:04 |
BenC | not yet | 02:04 |
fabbione | BenC: ok | 02:04 |
fabbione | let me know if you want to answer or should I | 02:04 |
fabbione | both ways work for me | 02:04 |
jbailey | BenC: Probably. I don't think I need it for the bit where I get the user to put in a new floppy into the drive and hit enter to load stuff off of it, though. | 02:04 |
BenC | fabbione: oh yeah, got that | 02:04 |
BenC | was going to email him this morning | 02:04 |
jbailey | BenC: That's Debian stuff mind you - I don't know that we care about floppy installs in Ubuntu. | 02:04 |
fabbione | BenC: ok perfect | 02:05 |
Kamion | BenC: yes, we need unix.ko, but having it built-in is fine too | 02:05 |
Kamion | i.e. we need the feature, not necessarily the module | 02:05 |
Kamion | floppy installs in Ubuntu have never worked yet, but they'd be really nice to do at *some* point | 02:05 |
BenC | well, I _had_ to switch to ide-core being built-in, so adding unix was a small increase compared | 02:05 |
jbailey | Kamion: Okay. Honestly, I had assumed we would never care here. | 02:06 |
BenC | otherwise it would have been a big todo exporting the kernel command_line out to the ide-core modules | 02:06 |
jbailey | Kamion: I still maintain that as long as we include openoffice in the default install, we clearly don't care about any machine older than about 5 years. =) | 02:06 |
jbailey | (And at that, they were high end machines 5 years ago) | 02:07 |
BenC | I will never ever ever try to do a floppy install for as long as I live | 02:07 |
BenC | how long has x86 been able to boot from floppy? | 02:09 |
BenC | err, cdrom | 02:09 |
=== BenC remembers doing nt4 installs that had to start with a 3 floppy set | ||
fabbione | at least 5 years | 02:09 |
fabbione | actually... 7 | 02:09 |
BenC | win95 install could be booted from cdrom, couldn't it? | 02:10 |
fabbione | yup | 02:10 |
Mithrandir | BenC: nt4 could boot off CD | 02:10 |
Kamion | I still get requests *shrug* | 02:10 |
jbailey | Mithrandir: SCSI Cdrom, yes. | 02:10 |
BenC | the original nt4 installs I did couldn't | 02:10 |
jbailey | Mithrandir: Not the first IDEs | 02:10 |
Kamion | from owners of laptops that don't boot properly off CD-ROM | 02:10 |
Mithrandir | jbailey: sure, but SCSI is teh way. | 02:11 |
Kamion | the laptop can run Ubuntu fine once it's installed, it's just that the BIOS is fucked | 02:11 |
fabbione | Kamion: point them to netboot :) | 02:11 |
BenC | I don't think I own a machine with a floppy anymore | 02:11 |
Kamion | fabbione: I do, but seriously dude, that's stupid and tedious for laptops | 02:11 |
jbailey | Mithrandir: SCSI is an indiciation that you came from the sabdfl "I have too much money" school of business. =) | 02:11 |
BenC | except my i2k, but I'd rip it out if I could | 02:11 |
Mithrandir | I think I first booted off CDROMs back before there were IDE cdroms. | 02:11 |
Kamion | or USB sticks, but they can't all boot from USB either | 02:11 |
Mithrandir | jbailey: my father worked at the university and brought all the new and shiny stuff home to play with^W^Wtest. | 02:11 |
Kamion | at the moment they have to use Smart Boot Manager which apparently is some kind of floppy->CD bootstrap weirdness | 02:12 |
fabbione | Kamion: i install my laptops with netboot... what's wrong with it? | 02:12 |
jbailey | Mithrandir: Yeah, I remember that from when my father owned the first computer store in the lowermainland | 02:12 |
Kamion | fabbione: not everybody is you | 02:12 |
fabbione | Kamion: i know.. and nobody will ever wish that :) | 02:12 |
jbailey | Mithrandir: All sorts of crazy new shit. Like 300 baud modems when all the cool kids had 110. =) | 02:12 |
Kamion | fabbione: not everybody has a convenient TFTP/DHCP setup on another machine, for one ... | 02:12 |
jbailey | fabbione: Or like me, who does, but can't be bothered to tweak his linksys to ignore a particular host. | 02:13 |
fabbione | jbailey: that's because you are lazy :) | 02:13 |
BenC | my ssh sessions on this satellite connection feel like 300 baud | 02:13 |
jbailey | fabbione: I'm not lazy enough, clearly. | 02:13 |
jbailey | fabbione: This is something I'm working on. | 02:13 |
fabbione | jbailey: you should just plug 2 ethernets in one machine and use it as a gw | 02:13 |
fabbione | BenC: i feel your pain! | 02:14 |
jbailey | fabbione: Nah. What I should do is hack the wireless box and run my tftp server on it directly. | 02:14 |
jbailey | fabbione: But since even the new linksys "L" boxes are crippled somewhat, I think I'll wait for another hobbiest hacking box. | 02:14 |
BenC | I wonder if I could turn dialup back on and have the linksys route my ssh traffic over that | 02:14 |
BenC | dialup was 5 times less lag than this dialup | 02:14 |
BenC | jbailey: get wrt54g(s) | 02:16 |
jbailey | They don't sell the s's anymore, apparently. | 02:16 |
BenC | I have my two running dd-wrt, and 7db atennas, and they work great | 02:16 |
BenC | yeah, they do actually, at walmart | 02:16 |
jbailey | Eh, really? | 02:16 |
BenC | just don't get v5 | 02:16 |
BenC | v4 is ok | 02:16 |
jbailey | BenC: I'll go look at my local store, otherwise can I get you to pick one up next time you're at walmart and I'll buy it off of you? | 02:17 |
BenC | sure | 02:17 |
jbailey | walmart probably has such a long stock line that they just haven't run out yet. | 02:17 |
BenC | yeah, I think that is the case | 02:17 |
jbailey | I need to head downtown today anyway at some point. I'll check future shop. | 02:17 |
BenC | g or gs, it's $50 and $80 | 02:17 |
BenC | ? | 02:18 |
jbailey | 'cause yeah The gs had 32mb of ram, IIRC? | 02:18 |
jbailey | BenC: http://www.futureshop.ca/ is a large computer chain here. | 02:18 |
BenC | don't think so | 02:18 |
BenC | just had the speed boost | 02:18 |
BenC | v5 only has 4megs | 02:18 |
jbailey | Mind you, I should probably go support the only union walmart in qubec. =) | 02:18 |
BenC | that's why they can't be hacked on | 02:18 |
BenC | lol | 02:18 |
jbailey | Hmm | 02:21 |
jbailey | I forgot that it's decemeber. Can't buy anything for myself - house rules. | 02:22 |
fabbione | speaking of which | 02:27 |
fabbione | i need a Gigabit switch | 02:27 |
BenC | who is going to be required to go to the distro sprint, all of the distro team? | 02:31 |
BenC | I was already planning a World Series of Power Circuit tournament that was on Feb 7 :/ | 02:31 |
BenC | s/Power/Poker/ | 02:32 |
=== zul [n=chuck@ubuntu/member/zul] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
zul | heylo | 02:34 |
fabbione | BenC: yes.. all of the distro team | 02:34 |
fabbione | that would include you as well | 02:34 |
jbailey | Note to BenC: If you have something important to you to do. Book it early. =) | 02:37 |
jbailey | That way at least you can fall back on the "But I paid for this already" argument. I don't know how well it works, mind you, but... | 02:37 |
BenC | it's already booked, I have a reservation with 3 other guys who are going to | 02:37 |
BenC | tournament fee paid | 02:38 |
mjg59 | When/where is the distro sprint? | 02:41 |
jbailey | Yeah, make sure you note these in your staffcalendar. | 02:41 |
jbailey | mjg59: End of January, in the UK. | 02:41 |
jbailey | mjg59: I think we didn't want you to have to leave your army or something. =) | 02:41 |
mjg59 | Haha | 02:42 |
mjg59 | Except I'm in New Zealand | 02:42 |
zul | which tournament BenC? | 02:42 |
mjg59 | You guys all suck | 02:42 |
BenC | zul: World Series of Poker Circuit even in Harrah's in Atlantic City | 02:42 |
zul | cool...im totally in the wrong area | 02:43 |
BenC | mjg59: you looked at #18164 at all? | 02:43 |
jbailey | mjg59: New Zealand? WTH are you down there? | 02:43 |
Kamion | jbailey: better class of sheep | 02:43 |
jbailey | mjg59: Haven't you seen from the Canonical folks what happens when you stand upside down for too long? | 02:43 |
mjg59 | LCA | 02:43 |
mjg59 | BenC: Yeah, Linux hates HPs | 02:44 |
mjg59 | It's worse on the nx6125 for some reason | 02:44 |
mjg59 | Haven't figured out if it's Linux or the BIOS | 02:44 |
mjg59 | I'll give it a kick at some point | 02:44 |
mjg59 | (Can somebody please check whether suspend is broken for them on x86 and work out why? I still don't have time, and won't until some time next year) | 02:45 |
BenC | the kernel.org bug report shows they are getting acpi thermal events from hw, just that they are getting out to userspace | 02:45 |
BenC | mjg59: I did /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh last night on my P4, and it worked | 02:45 |
mjg59 | BenC: Hibernate is fine, it's suspend that's broken | 02:46 |
mjg59 | BenC: Rather, the kernel bug shows that the DSDT is being executed, but not that stuff is getting to the higher kernel levels. Sigh. | 02:47 |
mjg59 | That'll be fun to track down | 02:48 |
mjg59 | Actually, it might not be too bad | 02:49 |
mjg59 | Sprinkle some printks through it, see where it's dropping them | 02:49 |
BenC | mjg59: how do I force suspend? | 02:50 |
mjg59 | BenC: /etc/acpi/sleep.sh | 02:51 |
mjg59 | Might need to enable it in /etc/default/acpi-support first | 02:51 |
BenC | how are others seeing it fail? | 02:59 |
BenC | mine didn't really do much, except corrupt my vga, and if up/down my network interface | 03:00 |
BenC | mjg59: the odd thing about that bug is that if they run acpi -t, it gets events, so to me it sounds like a kernel bug | 03:02 |
mjg59 | BenC: Machine hangs when it should go to sleep | 03:03 |
mjg59 | BenC: acpi -t executes further DSDT code | 03:03 |
BenC | setting acpi sleep to ram didn't work for me it seems | 03:04 |
BenC | acpi standby worked | 03:04 |
BenC | neither froze the machine though | 03:04 |
BenC | suspend to mem goes down (disables everything, I can see in dmesg), but comes right back up | 03:07 |
BenC | how do I enable suspend to disk? | 03:08 |
mjg59 | That's what hibernate does | 03:08 |
BenC | ok | 03:09 |
BenC | well, I didn't freeze up, -8.10-686 kernel | 03:09 |
BenC | standby fixed my vga console too | 03:10 |
mjg59 | Well, if it didn't actually sleep, then it's not going through the codepath that's failing | 03:10 |
BenC | how can I debug why it didn't sleep? | 03:10 |
BenC | maybe I need to build a acpi debug enabled kernel | 03:10 |
mjg59 | dmesg ought to give a hint | 03:11 |
BenC | says nothing | 03:12 |
BenC | after the last IRQ disable, it starts enabling irqs/devices again | 03:12 |
mjg59 | Right | 03:13 |
mjg59 | What does /sys/power/state look like? | 03:13 |
BenC | "standby disk", so I guess I don't have suspend to mem support | 03:13 |
BenC | my G4 does have suspend to mem | 03:13 |
BenC | guess I can give it a try | 03:13 |
BenC | ah, but that's isn't acpi, so probably pointles | 03:14 |
infinity | BenC : Sorry for the collision, I wasn't sure when you were coming back. | 03:19 |
BenC | no problem | 03:19 |

infinity | mjg59 : Say, when do I get my screen-lock (screen close) button working again? | 03:22 |
mjg59 | infinity: Oh, soon | 03:24 |
AcidPils | hi | 04:06 |
AcidPils | finally my acx module is working, but i dont know why :o | 04:06 |
BenC | did you upgrade to -8? | 04:06 |
AcidPils | nope :o | 04:07 |
BenC | heh, it may break again, but it may also work better :) | 04:07 |
BenC | can you install linux-restricted-modules and new linux-image-2.6.15-8? | 04:07 |
AcidPils | now i just have to get a link to my ap... | 04:07 |
BenC | brand new acx module (acx, not acx_usb or acx_pci), and new firmware | 04:07 |
AcidPils | *install* | 04:08 |
infinity | I assume the acx module exports all the right magic for udev to handle hot/coldplugging for every known device? | 04:12 |
AcidPils | <- get some beer and then reboot :o | 04:13 |
BenC | it loads the filenames from acx/default/ by default | 04:13 |
BenC | tries taicx1XXc%02x first (c == combined) | 04:14 |
BenC | falls back to loading tiacx1XX and tiac1XXrYY as seperate bins | 04:14 |
BenC | usb is always tiacx100usb | 04:15 |
BenC | by default it looks in acx/default/, but with firmware_ver module parm, it will replace default with whatever version you pass | 04:15 |
BenC | I hope udev can handle relative paths names for firmware files | 04:16 |
BenC | mjg59: 20894 claims suspend is working with -8.10, | 04:17 |
mjg59 | BenC: That's hibernate again | 04:18 |
BenC | the report says suspend to disk and mem | 04:18 |
mjg59 | Hmm | 04:18 |
mjg59 | Maybe it's fixed, then | 04:18 |
BenC | I asked for confirmation that it works for mem too | 04:19 |
AcidPils | hmm.. it works, exept for the missing link, but this is pebcak i think | 04:23 |
AcidPils | except | 04:23 |
BenC | zul: ping | 04:28 |
BenC | missing link? | 04:28 |
AcidPils | link is ok now, but still no ip | 04:29 |
AcidPils | Link Quality=38/100 | 04:29 |
BenC | link speed? | 04:30 |
AcidPils | 54mbit | 04:33 |
AcidPils | iwconfig output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5696 | 04:34 |
jbailey | BenC: BTW, I haven't been tracking carefully, but I haven't had X crashes in a few days I think. | 04:34 |
AcidPils | oh, theres a key :o | 04:34 |
jbailey | BenC: I only reliased it because of gnome-terminal breaking. I hadn't been as careful making sure I saved every few seconds before. | 04:35 |
BenC | jbailey: ooh, nice | 04:35 |
AcidPils | ok, key wasnt the problem | 04:35 |
BenC | your signal level is really low | 04:36 |
AcidPils | BenC: i know, but it worked already... two walls and a m ceiling | 04:37 |
AcidPils | i am happy that there is a link at all ;) | 04:37 |
BenC | yeah, it's progress :) | 04:37 |
zul | BenC: pong | 04:42 |
BenC | zul: 10834, you claimed to have it fixed in your git | 04:43 |
zul | is that the acpi one? i had to revert it i was going to look at it tonight.. | 04:44 |
BenC | ok | 04:55 |
siretart | AcidPils: nice essid ('default') | 05:00 |
AcidPils | i like it ;) | 05:01 |
jbailey | Far better than "linksys" | 05:03 |
jbailey | That just conflicts with the neighbours. = | 05:03 |
jbailey | ) | 05:03 |
AcidPils | *g* | 05:04 |
AcidPils | my neighbours dont know what wlan is ;) | 05:04 |
zul | BenC: basically its an annoying printk that i have to shutup | 05:08 |
zul | but the real fix is to get the motherboard infomration and add it to asus_acpi.c | 05:09 |
siretart | AcidPils: I don't know much about acx, but line 002 from your iwconfig output looks suspicous | 05:18 |
siretart | AcidPils: try it without encryption | 05:19 |
AcidPils | siretart: i did it already, nothing changes | 05:20 |
siretart | AcidPils: I think that Access Point: 00:00:00:00:00:00 should show your BSSID of your AP | 05:23 |
AcidPils | siretart: yes | 05:23 |
AcidPils | An address equal to 00:00:00:00:00:00 means that the card failed to associate with an Access Point (most likely a configuration issue) | 05:24 |
siretart | so try without encryption. one point less that can go wrong | 05:25 |
AcidPils | i have mn+ | 05:26 |
AcidPils | i have no enc atm | 05:26 |
siretart | your iwconfig out shows that. hm | 05:26 |
AcidPils | thats an old one | 05:26 |
AcidPils | with encryption | 05:27 |
siretart | ok | 05:27 |
AcidPils | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5697 <-- without its the same | 05:27 |
AcidPils | time to get some food brb | 05:28 |
siretart | Encryption key:1234-5678-91? looks weird. | 05:29 |
AcidPils | siretart: that was a test, simpel key so no typos ;) | 05:40 |
AcidPils | i set iwconfig wlan0 key off but still no ap :( | 05:41 |
BenC | AcidPils: what firmware got loaded? | 05:54 |
BenC | you may need a different version | 05:54 |
BenC | look in /lib/firmware/2.6.15-8-686/acx/ | 05:54 |
BenC | or whatever your kernel version is | 05:55 |
BenC | in there is a readme that shows what firmware versions are available for your acx111 pci | 05:55 |
BenC | so you can try doing "rmmod acx; modprobe acx firmware_ver=X.Y.X.B" to load different firmware | 05:56 |
AcidPils | 2.3.1.31 is loaded | 05:56 |
AcidPils | i try anotherone | 05:56 |
BenC | ok, try older ones then | 05:56 |
BenC | if you find that an older one works, shoot me your lspci -vvn for the device | 05:57 |
AcidPils | hmm, when i use 1.2.0.30 i get some feedback | 06:06 |
AcidPils | wlan0: association FAILED: peer sent response code 10 (Cannot support all requested capabilities in Capability Information field) | 06:06 |
AcidPils | when i make ifup wlan0 | 06:06 |
BenC | glad to hear it's actually working...the firmware naming/ver code I added without testing :) | 06:08 |
BenC | the firmware loading that is | 06:08 |
