mjg59bcollins: Around?01:21
mjg59bcollins: I suspect there may have been a mismerge when you were trying the new ACPI patches01:22
mjg59(The ones you reverted, that is)01:22
bcollinsshouldn't have been01:22
bcollinsI did git-revert01:22
mjg59bcollins: On boot, I get a pile of "Could not allocate new owner id", and then ACPI gets disabled01:22
bcollinsin reverse order01:22
mjg59bcollins: When you were applying them in the first place01:22
mjg59Before you reverted them01:23
mjg59I've just reapplied them to figure out what went wrong01:23
bcollinsah01:23
bcollinsit's probably got something to do with the 64bit long id thing to 256 max01:23
mjg59We had a patch applied to deal with the owner_id stuff, which conflicted with the acpi-ca patches01:23
bcollinsthat was the only real conflict in applying them01:23
mjg59Yeah01:23
bcollinsright01:23
mjg59So I'm suspicious about these errors01:23
mjg59bcollins: Indeed - just found a line that was missing01:29
mjg59acpi_gbl_next_owner_id_offset never gets set back to 0, so everything explodes01:29
BenCah01:31
mjg59And yes, that works much better now01:31
mjg59Though pnpacpi has got broken - looks like there's a patch for that, though01:32
mjg59BenC: Any chance we can have those back, then? :)01:32
BenCyeah, want to send me your diff? :)01:32
mjg59Hmm. Though interrupt routing still seems a touch confused.01:33
mjg59Yeah, a pile of stuff is ending up on irq 0. Hm.01:35
mjg59BenC: How can I disable MSI? I'm sure there's a boot parameter, but I can't find it01:43

mjg59Ah - actually, this could be due to slightly changed acpi semantics - I may just need to rebuild all my modules...01:49
mjg59BenC: Ok, got a fix for the interrupts02:16
mjg59BenC: So I've sent you two patches, both to be applied after the acpi-ca patches are un-reverted. One fixes ACPI owner-id stuff, and the other fixes gsi allocation so PCI devices get interrupts02:23

BenCzul: I have macox running and using my rt2500 pci wireless card02:43
zulsweet..02:44
zulcan you dual boot with it?02:44
BenCyeah, I have it dual booting with ubuntu02:44
BenCit's cool, the osx86 website has a howto for ubuntu install/dualboot of osx86 :)02:44
BenCwith a caption that says "the one that started it all"02:44
zulmmmmmm...need osx02:44
BenCwe need to figure out how osx does it's splash screen, it looks the same as it does on ppc hw02:45
BenCand it looks perfect on my nvidia/tv-out mame system, whereas our usplash looks a little corrupted02:45
zulhmm..maybe i should do it at work...tell my boss is for educational purposes02:46
mjg59BenC: Where did you get an rtl2500 driver?02:47
BenCit'll need a p4 or athlon system (sse2 minimum, sse3 prefered)02:47
mjg59Or is it just ported from BSD?02:47
BenCmjg59: posted on a osx86 forum from someone who got it from the hw vendor02:47
BenCit's a native driver02:48
mjg59Sweet02:48
BenCi386/ppc fat02:48
mjg59I note that the iMacs still have Broadcom wireless02:48
mjg59BenC: Does it do suspend/resume?02:48
BenChmm...haven't tried that yet02:49
mjg59Oh, Pentium Ms have sse2 too02:49
BenCoh crap02:50
BenCI almost forgot, I've been wanting to test the darwine02:50
BenCit's x86 only right now, but it's the whole reason I installed osx8602:50
BenCit doesn't seem to support my built-in UHCI host controller either02:51
BenChad to install a OHCI card02:51
BenCUHCI is supported but my 82801 chipset seems to not work well (as reported by others too)02:52
BenCoh wow, now that I spent all this time installing osx86, there's a ppc version of darwine that runs win32 apps02:54

bluefoxicyyou know05:40
bluefoxicythe amd64 kernels in dapper are -VERY- -UNSTABLE-.05:41
bluefoxicyI can barely stay up 15 minutes.05:41
infinityThey're stable for me.  Guess I'm just lucky...06:02
infinity(Or you have hardware we don't like... Have you filed bugs?)06:02
bluefoxicyI can't determine the root cause to file a bug.06:06
bluefoxicyLast time I installed (about 1 hour ago) it froze when I tried to even boot a -k8 kernel, screen got green lines06:06
bluefoxicynow, I have to boot a k8 kernel, the generic 2.6.15-15 does the same.06:06
bluefoxicythis means the problem is not repeatabel.06:07
bluefoxicymm ok06:07
bluefoxicyI can address 85TiB of virutual memory space06:07
bluefoxicyI should not have problems with gimp dying when I hit 1GiB of allocated shit anymore.06:08
fabbionebluefoxicy: try to boot with noapic06:08
bluefoxicyfabbione:  i will the next time this thing freezes.06:09
bluefoxicyfabbione:  would that be localized to x86-64 only?  I have been running a 32 bit dapper stabilly for quite  while.06:09
fabbioneit might be06:11
bluefoxicyfabbione:  is there anything that need be said about JFS re not using it ever?06:12
fabbionebluefoxicy: -EPARSE06:13
bluefoxicyI tried to install with a jfs root, it seemed slightly tempermental. . . the system froze 2 or 3 times, and after that last one the dpkg database was hosed (I did not use apt or synaptic on that boot), the GDM Human theme was destroyed (was not written to at any point during that boot cycle), and gnome ceased to function properly (panel wouldn't start)06:13
fabbionedunno i don't use JFS06:13
fabbionefile a bug06:14
bluefoxicyso i'm on xfs now, which I have experienced things such as reset-button-while-writing etc etc and have a /home on xfs that's like forever old and has been through many failures and never lost data06:14
bluefoxicyand I'm thinking, "Damn, it looks like JFS might just be flakey."06:14
bluefoxicyfabbione:  yes but what kind of bug?06:14
bluefoxicy"JFS appears to be very shakey and easy to damage, it should probably never be used" doesn't seem very descript.06:14
fabbionea bug in which you write whatever is happening?06:15
fabbioneBen will ask you for info06:15
fabbioneto see what he needs to know06:15
bluefoxicyalright06:15
bluefoxicyout of curiousity, do any of the ubuntu devs use jfs?06:16
fabbionei don't06:16
fabbionei am not stupid enough to use these useless filesystem06:16
infinityI just use ext3, since that's the default.  I'm lazy that way.06:16
bluefoxicyI installed with ext3 recently (a few months back) and it ate 900 megs more space or so o_o06:17
infinityI used to use xfs, when I was more interested in tweaking to the Nth degree.06:17
bluefoxicyI used to use reiserfs, when I didn't mind using piles of trash o.o06:17
infinityI'd recommend ext3 or xfs to anyone, tell poeple to stay way the hell away from reiser, and I have no real opinion of jfs.06:17
bluefoxicytrash that works pretty well, but still trash06:17
bluefoxicyheh, you noticed it's a horribly implemented maze of shit too huh?06:18
infinity<shrug>.. The code could ber perfectly elegant and lovely, and it wouldn't change the fact that it eats filesystems for breakfast.06:18
infinitys/ber/be/06:18
bluefoxicyeh, reiser always seemed stable to me integrity-wise06:19
bluefoxicybut its underlying design is a bastardization06:19
infinityYou were lucky. :)06:19
bluefoxicyhans reiser was and is like06:19
bluefoxicy"OMG, XATTRS?  NOOOOOOOOOOOOO IDIOT."06:19
bluefoxicythat was the beginning.  Let's not implement what normal people implement in our own way; let's change what we want to say a file system is and does.06:20
bluefoxicyit went farther with Reiser4; someone described Reiser4 as having a symptom where "all directories are symlinks" or something06:20
bluefoxicybesides the fact that Reiser4 added a new syscall that goes DIRECTLY into reiser4's code, past the kernel vfs06:21
bluefoxicywhen I started to realize what a psychopath hans was, I decided I should move away from reiserfs06:22
bluefoxicyRight now I think he's an apprentice to other famous loons, including Theo de Raadt and RMS06:22
bluefoxicyI'm sure he'll master the art of lunacy in time.06:22
bluefoxicybug filed.06:26
bluefoxicyfabbione:  any ideas on the grub-install bug btw?06:27
bluefoxicyfabbione:  grub-install hangs if you run it with /boot on xfs06:27
fabbioneknown xfs problem06:27
fabbionesometimes searching and reading docs will be helpful for you06:28
bluefoxicyfabbione:  yes but what confuses me is06:28
bluefoxicyI just run grub-install to prepare /boot/grub06:28
bluefoxicythen kill it06:28
bluefoxicyand run grub06:28
fabbionedid you read the documentation?06:28
bluefoxicy"root (hd0,6)"  (or whatever partition is / with /boot on it) and "setup (hd0)" and it's good to go.06:28
fabbioneif so you wouldn't be confused06:28
bluefoxicyno, not really06:28
bluefoxicydo you have a link06:29
fabbioneit's in grub-install each time you attempt to run it06:29
bluefoxicyum, grub-install doesn't give me output06:29
fabbionethat means you didn't even read the output from grub-install06:29
fabbioneit does06:29
bluefoxicyDue to a bug in xfs_freeze, the following command might produce a segmentation06:30
bluefoxicyfault when /boot/grub is not in an XFS filesystem. This error is harmless and06:30
bluefoxicycan be ignored.06:30
bluefoxicyfabbione:  not helpful.  *digs at command*06:30
fabbionebbl06:30
bluefoxicyoh come on06:31
bluefoxicyyou give me a load of crap and then run off06:31
bluefoxicyso does anyone else know?06:31
fabbionebluefoxicy: i need to go to the bathroom.. do you mind?06:31
bluefoxicyoh fine06:32
fabbioneor should i send you to #ubuntu06:32
fabbione?06:32
fabbioneyou decide06:32
bluefoxicyjust go06:32
bluefoxicyi'm gonna sleep06:33
bluefoxicyI still find it odd though that grub-install freezes but grub works perfectly06:33
bluefoxicymore odd that some idiot wrote an xfs_freeze call into grub-install06:33
bluefoxicyconsidering if /boot is on / the result is grub-install -> xfs_freeze -> access / -> xfs is frozen -> deadlock06:34
bluefoxicy(happens during the ubuntu installation process if you try to install grub in said situation)06:34

Mithrandiris there any way to extract the contents of a tmpfs in such a way that you can shove it into a file with ext[23]  or something?12:24
fabbioneuh?12:25
MithrandirI have a tmpfs unionfs mounted on top of another file system.12:25
fabbioneok...12:25
MithrandirI'd like to pull all the files out of the tmpfs and put them somewhere (in an ext2 filesystem)12:25
fabbionetar ?12:26
Mithrandirhow can I get the stuff which is just in the tmpfs?12:26
fabbioneahhh12:26
fabbionethat way..12:26
Mithrandirnote the "unionfs" part. :-)12:26
fabbionei don't think you can at all12:26
fabbioneor perhaps you can use timestamps?12:27
fabbionesee at what time you mount12:27
fabbioneand copy everything that has been modified since than?12:27
Mithrandirew.  I guess that'd be possible, though ugly.12:27

=== infinity senses that BenC missed a word in that question...
BenCyes, I did03:34
BenCMithrandir: it's in CVS03:34

BenCmodule is squashfs03:35
BenCthey may have a tarball, but I just grabbed CVS03:35
BenCalready tested booting the liveCD with v3 filesystem, so it should be good03:36
Mithrandirthey haven't released anything, so I'm a bit wary of just grabbing CVS.03:36
=== mxpxpod [n=BryanFor@wuw-ojr3gmca.dybb.com] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCwell, v2 is broken we know that, and v3 booted fine with no oopses, so I think the best bet is to move to v303:40
BenCMithrandir: you can always repackage squashfs tools with a v2 and v3 mksquashfs03:40
mxpxpodBenC: so, I've figured out that bcm43xx is causing syslog to go crazy03:40
BenCmxpxpod: yeah, I've heard, I removed some debug output from ieee80211 in the next kernel upload03:41
BenCMithrandir: and then you could just use v3 for ppc03:41
mxpxpodBenC: no, I mean that it's causing syslogd to spawn new processes03:41
BenCmksquashfs == v2, mksquashfs3 == v303:41
BenCmxpxpod: oh, I don't see how that's possible03:41
mxpxpodBenC: I don't either03:41
mxpxpodBenC: but last night I had about 50 syslogd's running03:42
MithrandirBenC: true dat.03:42
mjg59mxpxpod: If you're using our suspend script, it ought to be unloaded and reloaded over suspend03:42
mjg59mxpxpod: Is that happening?03:42
mxpxpodmjg59: which suspend script?03:42
mjg59Oh, is this on PPC?03:42
mxpxpodmjg59: yup03:42
mjg59That's probably more complicated03:42
mxpxpodBenC: and the syslogd's didn't spawn until I ifup'ed my ae03:43
mxpxpodat first I thought it might be a daemon I was running that was doing it (apache, avahi, postgresql, etc.)... but I shut all those down and it still happened03:47
fabbioneBenC: do you think you have time to pull from Dave and test the resulting kernel on your e3k ?04:17
