brokenthornHello people03:34
brokenthornI want to know how much will ubuntu break if I use a patched vanilla kernel (2.6.16-beyond)03:34
brokenthornAre any patches applied to the ubuntu kernels critical to it's well function?03:35
cjbbrokenthorn: Should work.03:44
fabbioneall the bug fixes03:44
fabbioneBenC: please pull from my dapper tree03:46
fabbionethere should be only a cosmetic change left for debian/changelog03:47
brokenthorncjb, What does usplash require in the kernel?03:47
mjg59Nothing03:47
mjg59Other than vga16fb03:47
mjg59Well, strictly, any working framebuffer03:47
fabbionewe also fixed other stuff like modular vesa03:48
alex_jonimjg59: hi, any idea who maintains/knows about usplash on dapper?03:49
mjg59Me03:49
mjg59Or Scott03:49
alex_jonimjg59: yay .. I tried following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto03:50
alex_jonibut it stays black03:50
alex_joniI do notice an 'splash not found' or similar, while doing 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-...'03:51
mjg59That's unrelated03:52
mjg59No idea, I'm afraid. The instructions look correct03:52
alex_jonimjg59: any idea how to debug? any options to usplash?03:52
mjg59Nope03:52
mjg59gdb is your best bet03:52
alex_joniok, thanks.. 03:53
infinityalex_joni: Have you tried just running it at the command line, waiting for it to time out, and see if it had anything angry to say?03:53
infinity(Like a failed assertion because your splash image was bigger than your framebuffer, for instance)03:53
alex_jonirunning what at the command line?03:53
infinityusplash03:54
alex_joniinfinity: nice point.. will try03:54
alex_joniinfinity: how long is the timeout?03:57
alex_joniinfinity: you were right.. 'Assertion 'yy + pixmap->height <= bogl_yres' failed.'03:59
=== tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@59.92.58.55] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
bernard_that's pretty angry ;)04:13
alex_joniinfinity: is there any way to make the picture centered?04:33
alex_joniinfinity: if it's smaller, then it defaults top-left. I tried making the picture wider (630px, but it still is off..)04:34
alex_joniinfinity: nm, I'm just beeing stupid today :(04:38
alex_jonimjg59: is there any place where I can read how the usplash stuff works?04:40
mjg59Nope04:40
mjg59The code is pretty straightforward, though04:40
alex_jonimjg59: I am wondering how to build a deb that contains the new usplash04:41
alex_jonior will a new make-kpkg already do that?04:41
mjg59No04:43
mjg59You need to provide the file in /usr/lib/usplash and update alternatives04:43

zulhey04:44
infinityzul: Hey dude, 2.6.12 failed on amd64 the same way that 2.6.10 did (more or less)04:44
infinityzul: 2.6.12 also failed on sparc.04:44
infinityzul: You want the logs?04:45
zulinfinity: meh..04:45
zulyeah 04:45
zulim fixing breezy as we speak04:45
alex_jonimjg59: as a post-install ?04:46
mjg59alex_joni: Yes04:46
alex_jonimjg59: ty, so I guess I need to hack the make-kpkg debian/rules04:46
zulinfinity: good morning to you too :)04:46
infinityalex_joni: Ideally, you don't want to distribute it with your kernel image.04:47
alex_joniinfinity: why not?04:47
mjg59It would tie a kernel to a given picture04:47
mjg59Put the artwork in a separate package (which is how kubuntu, xubuntu and edubuntu do it)04:47
=== tuxmaniac [n=aanjhan@59.92.40.159] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
alex_jonioh.. ok, I'll investigate04:48
infinityzul: Sent.04:49
zulthanks...ill take care of it now04:50

alex_jonimjg59, infinity: thanks, looks exactly like what I need04:52

brokenthornmjg59, You said that usplash needs nothing than vga16fb or strictly any working framebuffer. 05:44
brokenthornmjg59, I've chosen vesafb-tng05:44
brokenthornmjg59, what default mode should I pass: 640x480@60?05:45
brokenthornmjg59, So that bootsplash won't stay centered or scale ugly if so05:45
brokenthornAnyone else know?05:45

BenCinfinity: is l-r-m uploaded for dapper?07:31
mjg59BenC: Hrm. CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND possibly ought to have been switched on.07:36
BenCmjg59: ok, done07:39
mjg59Ta07:39
bernard_mjg59: how experimental is that still?07:46
mjg59To the best of my knowledge, not very07:49
mjg59(Now - it used to be horribly flaky)07:49
mjg59Biggest issue is that it's also tied into device suspend as well as host suspend07:51
bernard_and the device suspend code isn't so crash hot?07:57
bernard_or just the fact that devices have to be suspended as well now?07:59
zulwhee...fixing FTBS is fun..08:00
mjg59Yeah08:00
mjg59Hm. I should really set up a linux-laptop git tree at some point08:00
BenCzul: already fixed hoary/breezy FTBFS08:00
zulhoary yes, breezy still working it08:01
BenCI already did I mean :)08:01

BenCzul: did you use the dpatch I sent you?09:05
BenCI put that into my breezy tree and it built09:05
zulgrr...let me try again...09:06
BenCthat patch does add about 50 lines, and I thought I had it patched when I checked the file size09:07
BenCI didn't, but now that I do, I still don't see a GENERIC_NOP8 in there09:07

WebMavenBenC: Whn do you think I'll see the new kernel as an update for Dapper?11:31
BenCzul: in the debian/changelog, change just bump the version on the same changelog entry11:38
BenCzul: and rename the debian/00list-* files to that version11:38
BenCWebMaven: it's up to the -security folks, I have no idea11:38
BenCthey are probably waiting on the breezy update to finish11:38
BenCzul: debian/patches/00list-* files I mean11:39
BenCdon't forget the hppa one11:39
WebMavenBenC: OK. So when will the Breezy update finish?11:40
BenCWebMaven: when it happens11:40
=== WebMaven rolls eyes
WebMavenBenC: Do you have an educated guess, based on your past experience?11:41
BenCanywhere from 1 hour to 7 days11:42
WebMavenWow. Okay....11:43
WebMavenI guess I'll just wait then....11:43
crimsun_BenC rocks, but he can't predict the future. Yet.11:43
WebMavenWasn't asking for a prediction, just a guess.11:43
=== WebMaven settles in for a long wait.
=== lloydinho [n=andreas@rosinante.egmont-kol.dk] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCWebMaven: you do realize that this fixed kernel isn't going to act any different than with acpi=noirq kernel command line, right?11:51
WebMavenRight.11:56
zulBenC: breezy kernel built on amd6411:57
WebMavenBut then, I won't have to worry about re-applying the fix when I do a kernel upgrade, or install the K7 kernel.11:57
WebMavenFor example, I just un-installed the 2.6.17 kernel you had me test, and had to apply the flag to the 2.6.15 kernel that was applied by default.11:58
WebMavenI hate doing that.11:59
WebMavenI deal with a lot of FS, and install, upgrade, and modify it all the time, but it's all at the web-app-server level.12:00
WebMavenI really don't want to even have to think about the OS at all, and prefer think about the desktop as little as possible.12:00
WebMavenI know I'm acting a bit like a dog with a bone here, but I wasn't the first reporter for this bug, and I wouldn't be worrying about testing the new kernel so much if the previous reporter hadn't been blown off with only a workaround and no permanent fix.12:03
