dholbachhey guys08:30
dholbachummm - how do I find bug reports for the kernel team?08:30
dholbachif we want to make the HUGDAY on Thursday a special kernel hug day, we need to make sure that people can find those bugs08:31
infinityAnything files on linux-source-2.6.15?08:35
infinityfiled, too.08:35
infinityAnd god know what other interesting criteria.08:35
dholbachit's a big chaotic08:35
dholbachbut i found something to work with08:35
dholbachhttp://launchpad.net/people/kernel-bugs/+packagebugs08:35
dholbachsome are still for the ubuntu-kernel-team08:35
dholbacha lot of stuff filed on Ubuntu, etc :/08:35
infinityWow, I'm brilliant.  I just deleted something I was uploading.08:36
dholbach:-/08:36
=== dholbach hugs infinity
dholbachI managed that too :-(08:36
=== infinity is puzzled.
infinityWhy do we need a team for kernel bugs, above and beyond the kernel team?08:37
infinityHow.. Confusing.08:37
dholbachyeah, what I thought08:38
dholbachwe need to be able to remove teams again08:38
dholbachor mark them inactive or something08:39
dholbachdoes http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/Draft look ok to the kernel team?09:03

ivokshi02:15
ivoksthere is small problem with kernel and input devices :/02:16
mjg59ivoks: Mm?02:20
ivoksmjg59: #3898902:21
ivoksmjg59: just reported (and noticed)02:21
mjg59ivoks: Uhm. You mean the device ordering is unstable?02:22
ivoksyes02:22
mjg59More likely to be a udev issue02:22
ivokscould be that too...02:22
mjg59Why's it a problem?02:22
ivoksif you configure alps touchpad in X02:22
ivoksas /dev/input/event202:23
ivoksafter reboot it doesn't work02:23
mjg59Why not just use the multiplexor?02:23
ivokshuh?02:23
mjg59Tell it to use /dev/psaux02:24
mjg59That's what the default configuration is02:24
ivoksok. will try that02:24
=== ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
ivoksnope02:26
ivoks(EE) Alps Touchpad no synaptics touchpad detected and no repeater device02:27
infinityNo joy on /dev/input/mice either?02:27
ivoksinfinity: IIRC no02:28
ivokswell, touchpad works02:28
ivoksbut synaptic driver doesn't02:28
ivoksso, touchpad works via /dev/input/mice, but not with dynaptic driver02:28
ivoksit has to be /dev/input/eventX if I'm not mistaken02:29
infinityHow painfully fragile...02:29
mjg59Uhm.,02:30
mjg59I'm really not convinced by that.02:30
mjg59My Alps pad is being read via /dev/psaux02:30
mjg59(As far as I can tell)02:30
ivoksand ALPS features work?02:30
ivokslike, hor-ver scroll, middle button02:30
ivokstap and drag02:31
ivokscause, ALPS works without features as /dev/input/mice02:31
ivoksi'll be back... just to try something else02:31
mjg59Well, the alps driver has bound to it02:32
=== ivoks [n=ivoks@ubuntu/member/ivoks] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
ivoksok, no, /dev/input/mice doesn't work with synaptics driver :/02:33
ivoksif it's an udev issue, that could be fixed with a simple rule, right?02:34
ivokslike apitek tablet it's fixed with /dev/input/aiptektablet 02:37

=== cjb [n=cjb@pool-151-203-216-9.bos.east.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
cjbHi.  Is there a way to force SMP/UP with kernel arguments, with smp-alternatives?10:28
fabbionedilinger: no10:29
dilingerok10:30
fabbionedilinger: it's just me, infinity and heno10:30
fabbioneso we keep it on -devel for now10:30
dilingeri figured it out anyways10:30
dilinger@$#!$ /root/xorg.conf crap, instead of it using /etc/X11/xorg.conf10:30
cjbdilinger: Augh, I hate that.10:30
fabbionedilinger: eh?10:31
dilingerfabbione: i had an xorg.conf in /root10:31
dilingerand was trying to figure out why stuff was broken; i was modifying /etc/X11/xorg.conf trying to fix it w/out realizing it was loading /root/xorg.conf10:31
dilingeraccording to xorg.conf(5x), it loads $HOME/xorg.conf10:32
dilingerbefore /etc/X11/xorg.conf10:32
dilingers/loads/searches/10:32
fabbioneoh10:32
infinityYeah, that's a rather annoying misfeature when trying to debug WTF is going wrong with a user's setup.10:35
dilingeri really can't imagine that ever being useful10:38
dilingeri assume the intent was for non-root users10:38
fabbionewell that assume you can run X as user... that is only partially possible becuase it needs to be suid oot10:39
fabbioneroot10:39
dilingeryep10:39
dilingeri recall being able to do it10:39
dilingerstartx10:39
fabbionegiven that X access /dev/kmem to gather some system info :)10:39
dilingeras non-root10:39
fabbioneyes10:39
fabbionebut it's suid root10:39
dilingerhm10:40
fabbioneif not startx -> X is10:40
dilingerare there any access checks there?10:40
fabbionesomething.. yes..10:40
fabbionethere is even a debconf question for it iirc10:40
dilingerit seems like a bad idea to have a setuid program that supports config files loading arbitrary modules from the (non-priv'd) users homedir10:40
dilinger       ModulePath "path"10:41
dilinger              sets  the  search  path  for loadable Xorg server modules.  This10:41
fabbionethere are probable some limitations on what you can load as user10:42
fabbionebut you can try10:42
dilingerso what's to stop me from taking the radeon driver, adding a little bit of code that spawns a socket on port 10101 that launches a (root) shell when connected to, compiling it against hoary's xorg, making an xorg.conf that specifies a ModulePath of my custom radeon driver, and doing a startx?10:42
fabbionethat perhaps the ModulePath is not parsed for users?10:44
fabbione-> bed10:44
fabbionegood night10:44

dilinger(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:9:0) found11:28
cjbHm.  The rt2400 wifi driver doesn't work with SMP (!).  Does it work with smp-alternatives, though?12:02
