[01:39] <zul> there ported to 2.6.17
[02:25] <desrt> zul; xen?
[02:25] <desrt> you sexy beast
[12:12] <`ph8> anyone tried out the jmicron fix yet?
[01:20] <ph8> Mithrandir: around per chance? I've noticed the new kernel which should fix all these darn jmicron issues didn't make it into today's daily image as advertised on the bug report, any idea when the new kernel will make it to a daily image?
[01:22] <Mithrandir> ph8: is the version you need currently built and published?  (As in, is it available if you browse archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.17?
[01:22] <Mithrandir> )
[01:23] <ph8> struggling to connect to archive. - sec
[01:23] <ph8> ben implied in the bug report it would be on the install cd today
[01:23] <mjg59> Mithrandir: launchpad claims that 2.6.17-9 is published
[01:23] <ph8> ah, kinky
[01:24] <mjg59> ph8: The timing may not have worked out for that
[01:24] <ph8> and -8 is in the current isos right?
[01:24] <mjg59> I've no idea. I assume so.
[01:24] <ph8> ja
[01:24] <ph8> so it might mean waiting another day? :(
[01:24] <ph8> archive.'s not working for me
[01:25] <Mithrandir> you want alternate or desktop?
[01:25] <ph8> (can't connect)
[01:25] <ph8> alternate
[01:25] <ph8> but there may also be people waiting for desktop
[01:25] <ph8> there's lots of people watching the report/posting on the forum
[01:25] <Mithrandir> i386?
[01:25] <ph8> amd64 :o)
[01:25] <ph8> just to be mega-difficult
[01:26] <Mithrandir> running now
[01:27] <ph8> you legend :o
[01:27] <ph8> i've got to hop to windows (meant to be working from home today, alledgedly)
[01:27] <ph8> brb
[01:27] <ph8> well `ph8 is here, that's on my work machine
[01:33] <`ph8> back
[01:38] <Mithrandir> `ph8: hmm, the old binaries doesn't seem to have been expired yet, I need to poke it a bit
[01:39] <`ph8> use the large pitch fork. :o)
[01:39] <`ph8> rm -rf ftw
[01:40] <`ph8> The kernel on today's (2006-9-22) daily iso is version 2.6.17-7.20 from
[01:40] <`ph8> Sept. 18, not the fixed 2.6.17-9.23, so it's not to be expected to work
[01:40] <`ph8> what was just posted on the bug report, if it helps
[01:40] <Mithrandir> seems like linux-meta needs an upload too.
[01:42] <`ph8> does that mean waiting for ben?
[01:44] <Mithrandir> nope, but it means waiting a bit for it to be published.
[01:44] <`ph8> ah
[01:44] <Mithrandir> actually, I think I'll hold this off and get it coordinated with new LRM.
[01:45] <`ph8> time enough for me to go and get a haircut without missing my chance to grab a download? ;) or several haircuts?
[01:45] <`ph8> LRM?
[01:45] <Mithrandir> linux-restricted-modules.
[01:45] <Mithrandir> yes, you can go get a haircut.  I need to poke somebody to fix this.
[01:46] <zul> dont poke me im off to work
[01:49] <`ph8> lol
[01:49] <`ph8> cheers for the concern mith
[01:49] <`ph8> i'll bounce off shortly then
[01:49] <`ph8> out this evening as well :(
[01:49] <`ph8> that's a shame
[01:53] <Mithrandir> oh well, let's hope this works, then
[01:57] <`ph8> :o)
[02:44] <zul> neuralis: ping
[02:48] <neuralis> zul: pong
[02:48] <neuralis> what's up?
[02:48] <zul> is it possible can you create an ubuntu-xen-2.6.17 git?
[02:49] <neuralis> sure
[02:49] <zul> danka
[02:49] <neuralis> you can also create a 2.6.17 branch
[02:50] <zul> i could do that as well
[02:50] <neuralis> which is probably more natural
[02:50] <neuralis> it's what upstream does.. but whichever you preer.
[02:50] <neuralis> prefer, even.
[02:50] <zul> we have two different gits for dapper and edgy so i would like to do the same
[02:55] <neuralis> done
[02:55] <`ph8> Mithrandir: back, any joy?
[02:57] <zul> neuralis: thanks..
[04:25] <zul> BenC: close but no cigar on the xen porting
[04:26] <BenC> suckage
[04:41] <ivoks> hi
[04:42] <ivoks> BenC: ping
[04:42] <ivoks> BenC: latest source doesn't fix the jmicron bug
[04:42] <ivoks> BenC: but i got it working with little modifications
[04:43] <ivoks> BenC: still, ich8 doesn't work and i didn't manage to backport fix from 2.6.18
[04:43] <BenC> can you send me the changes?
[04:43] <BenC> and is this the 9.23 source?
[04:43] <ivoks> sure
[04:43] <ivoks> yes
[04:43] <BenC> ivoks: According to even JMicron, the patches I pulled into 9.23 should have fixed things
[04:44] <BenC> Also note that they said a BIOS update may be needed for some things to work
[04:44] <BenC> like grub booting
[04:44] <ivoks> heh :)
[04:45] <zul> hah...so i wasnt going crazy with the jmicron stuff
[04:45] <ivoks> we'll see :/
[04:45] <ivoks> i spent whole day today trying to install edgy on a box with r1000, ich8 and jmicron
[04:46] <BenC> zul: There was another part that was needed that included ide-generic changes and a pci quirk addition
[04:46] <ivoks> BenC: i'll send you everything tomorrow... is that ok?
[04:47] <zul> BenC: yeah i saw
[04:48] <ivoks> i have to check everything; maybe i'm bringing false alarm :/
[04:51] <BenC> ivoks: Time is important...I have 20 some odd people watching my every move on this bug :)
[04:51] <ivoks> hehe
[04:51] <ivoks> BenC: i have a client with non-working machine :)
[04:51] <ivoks> btw...
[04:51] <ivoks> i tried with 2.6.18, and it worked (ihc8, jmicron)
[04:52] <BenC> problem is, I pulled in all the changes for ich8 and jmicron from 2.6.18
[04:52] <ivoks> but installation failed while detecting hardware, creating partitions...
[04:52] <ivoks> um...
[04:52] <zul> hehe..
[04:52] <ivoks> BenC: you didn't... :/
[04:52] <ivoks> BenC: this i'm 100% sure
[04:52] <ivoks> ata_piix.c has big diff
[04:52] <BenC> can you at least point me to this mysterious commit that I missed?
[04:53] <BenC> ata_piix has a big diff because of the libata changes
[04:53] <ivoks> right
[04:53] <ivoks> but it's missing some parts related to ich8
[04:53] <Mithrandir> BenC: hope you don't mind that I uploaded a new ubuntu-meta
[04:53] <ivoks> just a second
[04:53] <BenC> Mithrandir: not at all, but could you find out about getting l-r-m for i386 out of dep-wait?
[04:54] <BenC> Mithrandir: and can you make sure that daily CD's are building with the latest kernels? Some people reported that the ones from today are using 7.20 kernel, which isn't even the latest one I uploaded almost a week ago
[04:54] <Mithrandir> BenC: daily cds use linux-generic.
[04:54] <ivoks> (maybe i was drunk whole day:/)
[04:55] <BenC> Mithrandir: linux-generic should have been pointing to 8.22 for the cd build today
[04:55] <BenC> ivoks: I'm very interested in what changes you needed for the JMicron stuff...if you could just point out a commit from 2.6.18 gitweb, that would be enough
[04:55] <ivoks> i downloaded whole source and cherrypicked from it :/
[04:56] <ivoks> BenC: i will tell you everything... now i just have to get ready for wedding :)
[04:56] <Mithrandir> /pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.17/linux-image-2.6.17-8-generic_2.6.17-8.22_amd64.deb
[04:56] <Mithrandir> is the one which went into this morning's amd64 image
[04:56] <BenC> Mithrandir: hmm
[04:56] <BenC> some ppl are using the wrong CD images then
[04:57] <Mithrandir> I need to find out why lrm is in dep-wait, though
[04:57] <BenC> Mithrandir: I don't suppose there's anyway you can do a half-daily cd build after this new kernel is ready, could you? :)
[04:57] <BenC> Mithrandir: I think it was because linux-source on i386 didn't build for awhile
[04:57] <BenC> and l-r-m could build when it was uploaded
[04:58] <BenC> it just needs to be kicked or something
[04:58] <Mithrandir> BenC: I could poke one when I get home after dinner and a concert.  Which means aroudn 0000 UTC or so
[04:58] <BenC> Mithrandir: excellent, thanks
[05:01] <`ph8> and that one will have the kernel with the jmicron fixes in? ;)
[05:01] <`ph8> hi ben btw
[05:02] <BenC> ph8: it should, but ivoks was saying the latest source didn't work for him, didn't clarify, and left
[05:03] <BenC> jmicron is sending me eval boards, so worst case is I get it all working then
[05:03] <BenC> will reduce the turn around time on "patch kernel, upload, wait for it to build, wait for CD images, wait for users to test"
[05:03] <`ph8> that was good of them
[05:04] <`ph8> what ich8, that affects sata detection?
[05:04] <`ph8> because from what i've heard it sort of sounds like the new one fixes the satas at the very least and the cdrom drive detection issues can be worked around with a USB disk
[05:04] <`ph8> which would be fine
[05:04] <`ph8> s/what/what's
[05:13] <`ph8> anyone?
[05:31] <ivoks> hi, again
[05:31] <ivoks> BenC: find . -name jmicron.c doesn't find anything in kernel source
[05:31] <ivoks> while in upstream there is jmicron.c
[05:32] <ivoks>  drivers/ide/pci
[05:32] <BenC> bcollins@grayson:/org/linux-2.6$ head -3 Makefile 
[05:32] <BenC> VERSION = 2
[05:32] <BenC> PATCHLEVEL = 6
[05:32] <BenC> SUBLEVEL = 18
[05:32] <BenC> bcollins@grayson:/org/linux-2.6$ find -name jmicron.c
[05:32] <BenC> bcollins@grayson:/org/linux-2.6$ 
[05:32] <BenC> I see nothing
[05:32] <ivoks> huh?
[05:32] <ivoks> i have -rc7
[05:33] <BenC> same here
[05:34] <ivoks> http://www.archlinux.org/~tpowa/2.6.18/PKGBUILD/jmicron-ide.patch
[05:34] <ivoks> this is what i've added
[05:35] <ivoks> but i realize that i made a mistake
[05:35] <ivoks> it should use libata, this patch is for basic IDE support
[05:36] <BenC> it shouldn't be needed for this to wrok
[05:36] <BenC> ide-generic should handle it
[05:36] <BenC> I think your missing something
[05:36] <BenC> JMicron has two functions on the PCI device
[05:36] <BenC> a stock IDE function, and the SATA function (handled by ata_piix)
[05:37] <ivoks> i tought ata_piix is different bug (ich8 related)
[05:37] <BenC> the reason things are broken for CDROM's is because ata_piix grabs the whole PCI device, and doesn't let ide-generic grab the second function for IDE
[05:37] <BenC> the quirk fixups are supposed to fix that
[05:37] <BenC> err, ahci I mean
[05:37] <BenC> sorry, s/ata_piix/ahci/ for JMicron
[05:37] <ivoks> ah... ok :)
[05:38] <BenC> Jmicron has SATA and ATA on the same PCI device, and that's what was causing the problems
[05:38] <ivoks> ok
[05:38] <ivoks> so, basicly, new kernel should work
[05:39] <ivoks> sorry for introducing confusion :(
[06:16] <`ph8> kernel out on a daly image tomorrow? :)
[06:16] <`ph8> * daily
[06:17] <`ph8> it's another tomorrow, but this one sounds like it actually might happen :D
[06:17] <zul> `ph8: please be patient
[06:35] <`ph8> nps..
[06:35] <`ph8> back tomorrow then
[06:44] <svu_tv> BenC, ping?
[06:44] <BenC> svu_tv: pong
[06:44] <svu_tv> BenC, I tried today's live cd (well, the one marked as 2209) - it stil does not boot on g5 ;)
[06:44] <svu_tv> BenC, are your changes in it?
[06:45] <BenC> doesn't contain the new kernel
[06:45] <BenC> one tomorrow will
[06:45] <BenC> everything is built, but it didn't get done in time for today's cd build
[06:46] <svu_tv> BenC, ok, I see. sorry for bother, i'll try tomorow
[06:47] <BenC> np
[07:28] <Xnix> anyone in here know about the ACPI_DSDT patch in the latest git of ubuntus kernel tree
[11:16] <BenC> 6 more weeks...just keep telling myself that
[11:16] <BenC> I wonder how well this sat dish will hold up to a double barrel 12 guage, because that's about what I want to do to it
[11:18] <crimsun> we will all cheer when you receive better connectivity
