psusiwhat the crap?  git-unpack-objects says it is unpacking 187,127 objects.... only it doesn't.... the objects aren't there05:29
psusishouldn't git-unpack-objects < .git/objects/pack/pack-xxxx.pack undo a git-repack?05:30

dolsonif there is a driver that I want to see get into Ubuntu, how do I make that request? do I open a bug on Malone?05:51
psusiif the driver is in the linux kernel, it should be in ubuntu already05:53
dolsonit isn't05:53
psusiit isn't in the stock kernel or it isn't built into the ubuntu build?05:54
dolsonI don't think it's in either. it's for Logitech Quickcam Communicate. I don't think it works with the `quickcam` module, and I did some searching, and I found http://home.mag.cx/messenger/ which has another driver05:55
dolsonunless I'm a moron and can't figure it out for myself.05:56
psusiif it isn't in the stock kernel, it won't go into ubuntu AFAIK05:56
dolsonwell there is a big list of add-on drivers in the kernel source tree, in the debian folder05:56
psusihrm.... interesting....05:57
dolsonpodxtpro is one of them that I can recall, and I don't think it's in a stock kernel05:57
=== psusi needs to figure out how to compare the ubuntu kernel git tree with linus's to see what's different
psusiit is open source right?05:58
dolsonyes, well, it looks like it's based on the qce code. I am going to look more into it, because I am not sure why it looks like the same stuff as the standard quickcam module.. modinfo quickcam doesn't show an alias for my vendor+device ID that I get from lsusb though05:59
=== psusi kicks git-unpack-objects
dolsonhrmm. that's not good. it makes a module called `quickcam`06:04

fabbioneBenC: if you did pull/push i will be glad to trash my local one and clone again...04:31
BenCI've got it, so yeah, go ahead and ditch your local repo04:31
BenCpush in progress04:32
=== fabbione frees up a few tons of GB
fabbioneBenC: note that the OCFS2 update has not been done via git-cherry04:33

desrtturns out my firewire woes are fixed by a patch that you personally signed off on for inclusion upstream :)04:38
BenCdesrt: really? :)04:39
BenCpoint me to it, and I'll include it04:39
desrtBenC; i've been annoying the heck out of you on launchpad :p04:39
BenCis it Al Viro's patch?04:39
desrtBenC; it seems like launchpad reduces the effectiveness of communication by a good 80%04:40

davyd_ok05:12
davyd_on #3055705:12
davyd_at the moment, on 2.6.15-1605:12
davyd_when my machine boots up, it is putting itself into C205:12
davyd_and the idle counter goes whack, and it clocks the CPU up05:13
davyd_if I force the machine into C1, the idle counter starts working05:13
davyd_but my CPU can't idle properly05:13
BenCdavyd_: what CPU type is this?05:14
davyd_Pentium <05:15
davyd_M05:15
davyd_on the i915 chipset05:15
davyd_incidently, and possibly related to this, is that my laptop is running very warm05:15
BenCwhich cpufreq module is being used?05:15
davyd_and the fan isn't engaging05:15
davyd_(it hard locked once because of this)05:15
davyd_BenC: userspace05:15
BenCyou're not using speedstep or anything?05:16
BenCpowernowd uses a kernel module05:16
davyd_oh, right, let me look05:16
davyd_where is that kept now, it is no longer in proc05:16
BenClsmod | grep cpu05:16
davyd_speedstep_centrino05:17
davyd_but yeah, it counts idle ticks properly in C1, but not C2, never seems to go into C305:17
davyd_the fan is also not engaging reliably05:17
davyd_my machine was at 64C05:18
davyd_since my options were C1 or dodgy idle times causing the CPU to clock up05:18
BenCwas there a prior 2.6.15 kernel that worked ok?05:18
davyd_the fan trip would appear to be 114C05:19
davyd_(as a result the machine hard locked)05:19
davyd_BenC: I've not have a lot of success with Ubuntu 2.6.1505:19
davyd_2.6.12 worked perfectly05:19
BenCwhat was the first 2.6.15 kernel you used?05:19
davyd_I didn't personally try, but someone said Debian 2.6.15 was working on this05:19
BenCbut that doesn't help me much :)05:19
davyd_two secs05:20
davyd_the first 2.6.15 I have installed is -1505:20
BenCtrying to find out if there was a point where this went bad with our kernel05:20
davyd_I only upgraded this machine to dapper about a fortnight ago05:20
BenCok, so you've only used very recent ones05:20
BenCany chance of you trying flight 1/2/3 liveCD's to see if they fix anything?05:20
davyd_someone with an ASUS has had this problem forever05:20
BenCI assume you are using the -686 kernel, have you tested the -386 kernel?05:21
davyd_I haven't tested -386, I can05:21
BenCyeah, that would help a little05:21
davyd_interestingly, forcing C1 seems to stop cpufreq from working, scrollkeeper update didn't clock my CPU up from 600Mhz05:22
davyd_ok, I'm installing linux-image-2.6.15-16-38605:22

davydfan cut in and out to cool the machine down05:39
davydsky2 still seems busted though :-(05:41
BenCok, so we have an SMP issue05:41
BenCthe 686 kernel is compiled with SMP support, it's really the only difference from the 686 kernel05:41
BenC386 kernel05:41
BenCPlease annotate the bug about this...I would stick with the 386 version (it's really not a performance hit as most people would think)05:45
bluefoxicythe 686 kernel can see more than 900M of RAM05:45
BenCso can 38605:46
bluefoxicyno it can't05:46
bluefoxicyunless I missed something new05:46
BenC386 kernel has highmem05:46
bluefoxicyin Dapper?05:46
BenCyes05:46
bluefoxicybut not breezy05:46
BenCwe aren't talking about breezy :)05:47
bluefoxicyok just making sure05:47
bluefoxicyI know the 386 has never had highmem before05:47
davydhmm, on the network front sk98lin is also dysfunctional05:50
davydhave you had any reports on ethernet usefulness with dapper and the R200?05:50
davyd(you can tell I use wireless all the time, but that I perhaps forgot to install the -restricted package)05:50
BenCnot that I recall05:51
davydok, I just booted into Windows to check the hardware was actually working05:52
davydsky2 gives me an interface, but does no link detection or dhcp05:53
davydsk98lin, which used to work, doesn't even give me an interface05:53
davydI suppose I should file this as a separate issue05:53
BenCyeah, I probably need to update the sky2 driver05:53
=== bluefoxicy holy craps at all the patches in -mm
davydok, -386 seems sane06:08
davyddo you want me to file on sky2?06:08
BenCI marked it on my todo, so no need06:15

bluefoxicypsusi:  the via dri in 2.6.15 seems horridly broken, do any of the devs have via chipsets, or do you know if it's part of mainline?09:26
bluefoxicyif it's part of mainline I'll hit the lkml with the bug.09:26
psusivia dri?  I have a via chipset, but my video card is an ati radeon 9800 pro09:27
bluefoxicymy via chipset has a via video adaptor in its north bridge09:27
psusiewww.... don't use it... integrated video sucks ;)09:27
BenCI have a VIA EPIA, I can try that some time09:28
psusiit robs memory space and time from the cpu09:28
bluefoxicy0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. S3 Unichrome Pro VGA Adapter (rev 01)09:28
bluefoxicypsusi:  I don't need heavy video09:28
bluefoxicyI'm running VESA right now, and if I play any animated videos the CPU hits 100% and they lag and X drags and shit.09:28
psusibluefoxicy: that's fine... it's still slowing down processing because of the stollen memory cycles09:28
BenCthat doesn't sound like a kernel issue09:29
psusiwhat exactly does "horrbily broken" mean?09:29
bluefoxicywith the Via driver, I can actually seek back and forth while playing videos, and I get decent GLX gears performance, and the CPU usage is lower.09:29
BenCMy VIA EPIA M10k dies completely in windows if I startup any opengl apps :)09:29
bluefoxicypsusi:  um, well, if I use the via driver in X09:29
bluefoxicymy kernel oopses several times09:29
bluefoxicyand somewhere between an hour and 5 hours in I get a hard freeze (kernel level memory corruption?)09:30
BenCah, that's a different story :)09:30
psusioopsesses are not good ;)09:30
BenCyeah, dem oopsses is bad tings09:30
bluefoxicyat first I thought it was because of rhythmbox so I filed a bug against rhythmbox, then i changed the bug saying it was video related, and worked down :)09:31
bluefoxicy(I thought it was rhythmbox because it seemed playing shit in rhythmbox made my kernel freeze in about 5 minutes)09:31
=== psusi wishes there was something like Soft Ice for the linux kernel

bluefoxicyBack in the day of 2.6.12 there wasn't even a driver IIRC09:44
bluefoxicyI KNOW there was no X driver in breezy09:44
