lfittlBenC: is it intentional that /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.19-*/include/linux/config.h does not exist anymore?01:49
zulyep01:50
lfittlk, so if I package a kernel module I should replace it with linux/autoconf.h, right?01:51
zuli think you remove it totally01:52
lfittlwouldn't that cause problems if there are #ifdefs that require the config #defines?01:52
zuli think it was an empty file in 2.6.15 but i would have to look at the code01:53
lfittlfor 2.6.17 it was: #include <linux/autoconf.h>01:54

BenClfittl: Remove it completey02:03
BenClfittl: The module build system adds "-include .../autoconf.h" now02:04
BenCso it's explicitly always there02:04
lfittlBenC: k, thanks02:09
zulBenC: ping 02:40
BenCzul: pong02:41
zulshould the patch for #6244 go in edgy or bump it to fiesty02:41
zulit looks trivial enough for edgy02:41
zuler...6244402:42
BenCzul: let me check02:56
BenCzul: Looks suitable for edgy-updates02:57
zulcool02:59
zulfunny that patch is crack03:02

KnowledgEngihello04:02
KnowledgEngii have a big problem with the kernel04:04
KnowledgEngithe problem is that i need to use a software named rosegarden04:04
KnowledgEngithis software need a particular kernel04:05
KnowledgEngia low-latency kernel04:05
KnowledgEngithis is a software for musician04:05
KnowledgEngiand work realtime04:05
KnowledgEngiand without a low-latency kernel there is problem with system timer04:06
KnowledgEngiSystem timer resolution is too low04:08
KnowledgEngiRosegarden was unable to find a high-resolution timing source for MIDI 04:08
KnowledgEngiperformance.04:08
KnowledgEngiThis may mean you are using a Linux system with the kernel timer 04:08
KnowledgEngiresolution set too low. Please contact your Linux distributor for more 04:08
KnowledgEngiinformation.04:08
BenCKnowledgEngi: Probably is two fold04:17
BenCKnowledgEngi: We can provide a kernel with a proper timer, however that kernel would not be suitable for all people, especially those not needing high resolution timers04:17
BenCKnowledgEngi: Second problem is that we always get folks wanting this feature, but no one puts in the time to implement or test it04:18
BenCusually we end up hearing about it after release04:18
KnowledgEngiyou work in the ubuntu comunity ?04:18
KnowledgEngiwe are ubuntu developers?04:18
KnowledgEngiyou04:18
BenCyes, we == kernel developers == mainly me04:18
BenCnewly kylem, but for references to the past me :)04:19
KnowledgEngiwow04:19
KnowledgEngi:)04:19
KnowledgEngiis very important for me becouse i work with music04:19
KnowledgEngiand i studi music composition in a music school04:19
KnowledgEngistudY04:19
KnowledgEngiand under ubuntu i has much problem with midi software and notation software04:20
BenCright, I understand the issue04:20
KnowledgEngii do not use other tutorial about kernel building04:21
KnowledgEngibecouse i think that is possible that after i can have other problems04:21
BenCthere is an ubuntu specific tutorial at the URL in the topic04:21
KnowledgEngihttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryKernel04:23
KnowledgEngithis page?04:23
BenCyes, look for Build link04:23
KnowledgEngimy english is terrible, i'm italian. Can you tall me the specific link good for my problem?04:24
BenCI do know that dapper has the proper frequency04:24
BenCso if you are using edgy, maybe switch to dapper04:24
KnowledgEngii'm use edgy04:24
BenCoh wait, no I switched it back in dapper04:25
BenCbecause of the problems it was causing for laptop users (low battery life)04:25
KnowledgEngii have a pc with case04:25
KnowledgEngii have not a laptop04:25
KnowledgEngi:)04:25
BenCI know, but the kernel is the same either way...and we can't help the 0.1% of users trying to do music just to make 5% of users reduce battery life04:26
KnowledgEngii hope that in the next ubuntu release there is a possibility to install a prebuild low-latency kernel04:27
KnowledgEngiusing synaptic04:27
KnowledgEngi:)04:27
BenCprobably is, no one is asking for it much04:27
BenCI hear about it once every 2 to 4 months from one person04:27
KnowledgEngimuch people in channel relater with linux audio speack about this problem with rosegarden and kernel04:28
BenChard to justify the extra build and space on mirrors for a handful of people04:28
KnowledgEngiin this age much people work with music04:30
KnowledgEngiDj too04:30
KnowledgEngiis not a rarely problem :)04:30
KnowledgEngii know much people that do not use linux becouse have problem with audio04:31
KnowledgEngiand midi04:31
KnowledgEngifor me now is sufficent just a document that show me the procedure that i need for solve this problem04:33
KnowledgEngithe firsth step that i need is this?: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild?highlight=%28CategoryKernel%2904:38
BenCthat's the only document you need04:39
KnowledgEngii need upgrade to ubuntu dapper ?04:40
KnowledgEngior ubuntu edgy is ok04:40
KnowledgEngi?04:40
BenCedgy is newer than dapper04:41
BenCstick with edgy04:41
KnowledgEngimy english is terrible04:42
KnowledgEngii know that edgy is the new release04:42
KnowledgEngibut i do not know if is compatible with this how-to04:42
KnowledgEngibecouse 10 minuts ag you tall me something about dapper04:43
BenCthe howto clearly says it is for edgy04:44
KnowledgEngi. /boot/config-2.6.17-10-generic05:04
KnowledgEngiwhere i must to copy it before build the kernel ???05:04
KnowledgEngiis possilbe that there is an error in the how-to05:05
KnowledgEngiuser@ubuntu:/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17$ ls -l debian/config/i386/05:05
KnowledgEngils: debian/config/i386/: Not a directory05:05

KnowledgEngii do not know if is correct05:08

KnowledgEngibecouse i neet to rebuild it05:20

dade`someone knows if the function to disable console suspend on suspend to ram can be enabled in ubuntu 2.6.19-6 kernel without recompiling ?07:44
mjg59Depends what you mean by console suspend07:50
dade`it's an option in power management section of kernel config07:51
mjg59Oh. In that case, no.07:52
mjg59You want netconsole to work?07:52
dade`CONFIG_DISABLE_CONSOLE_SUSPEND=y07:52
dade`ok07:52
dade`I'm not really skilled, never used netconsole07:53
mjg59Why are you worried about the console_suspend option?07:55
dade`I want to see why kernel 2.6.19 freezes during suspend to ram, even without piix support07:56
kylemBenC, ok, merged and compiled ok for edgy.07:56

fabbioneand i would like to handover to either you or Ben the gfs merge from redhat08:05
kylemi saw something about pata_via today. hold.08:05
kylemor not, nm. :/08:06
fabbionekylem: http://sources.redhat.com/cluster/ <- in .19 we are tracking CVS HEAD08:06
fabbionekylem: would you like to be in charge of keeping it up to date in .19?08:06
fabbionealso.. Ben did some patching to make it build in .1908:06
fabbionebut it's all in one git commit08:06
fabbionei would like to have the .17 -> .19 patch separated so i can submit it upstream08:07
mjg59Are we doing the ->libata transition?08:07
mjg59If so, someone really needs to pull all the code from -mm08:07
mjg59Plus all the patches that Alan just through at lkml08:07
fabbionenote that i am not asking you to take over GFS testing.. just merging upstream bits into our tree.08:07
kylemfabbione, i can probably do that.08:07
fabbionekylem: ok, can you let me know by the end of your day?08:08
BenCkylem: Sweet, can I pull now?08:08
fabbionekylem: an email or /msg will do08:08
kylemBenC, not yet, still some more patches to go in first.08:08
BenCok08:08
BenCI got the pata_via bug, btw08:08
zuli have a bunch of patches for dapper-updates as well08:08
BenCit's an initramfs thing08:08
kylemmjg59, yeah, that's probably where i saw it, on mm.08:08
fabbioneBenC: initramfs? the OOPS?08:09
BenCoh, that's right, you ended up with an oops08:09
kylemBenC, alright, won't spend time on that then.08:09
fabbioneBenC: see 7282408:09
fabbionekylem: no he is talking about another pata_via bug08:09
BenCfabbione: that's the one that doesn't occur when you remove quiet/splash?08:10
BenCor is it random?08:10
kylemfabbione, ah.08:10
fabbioneBenC: it happens at random. I did re-test and it doesn't matter if you have quiet/splash08:10
BenCok08:10
fabbionethat one in the pic is without quiet/splash08:10
kylemthat's nasty.08:10
fabbioneit looks like it happens ONLY at boot08:10

fabbioneand no OOPS08:11
fabbioneproblem is getting there :)08:11
BenCI may end up switching via back to ide if it isn't an easy fix, but I'll try emailing AC about it08:11
fabbionewell point him to the OOPS08:11
fabbioneperhpas he knows08:11
fabbioneor how can i stress test the system in a useful way08:11
fabbioneit looks to me something related to bus/disk scanning08:12
fabbionesince it doesn't happen after it boots08:12
kylemi don't see anything related in rc5-mm2.08:13
kylemfabbione, if you just want me to update the whole of ubuntu/fs/gfs/ from cvs, and make sure it builds, that's not a problem.08:20
BenCfabbione: I thought the same thing, sounded like a race between device initialization completion and first use of the disk08:21
