tepsipakkia regression in feisty-kernel: it accepts only 256 characters on the commandline08:58
tepsipakkiwhere ->edgy accepted 102408:59
fabbionetepsipakki: file a bug. 09:11
fabbioneyou should know that by now09:11
tepsipakkiok, I'll reopen the one from a year back ;)09:13
tepsipakkiin fact, pxelinux accepts "only" 512 chars so that needs fixing as well, in another bug09:17
Mithrandirit hasn't occured to you that if you need to pass in half a k of text you might be doing something wrong?09:20

lkolbeis this the right place to ask?02:31
BenClkolbe: Old version of kernel-package I suspect02:55
=== pmjdebruijn [n=pmjdebru@pmjdebruijn.xs4all.nl] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
lkolbeWell, I tried with both 9.001ubuntu15 from ubuntu dapper, as well as a rebuilt 10.065 from debian sid02:57
lkolbeand it always things the version is "kernel-image-.." instead of "kernel-image-2.6.19"02:57
lkolbeand then it fails ...02:57
lkolbethanks for listening so far :)02:58
=== calavera [n=calavera@195.Red-80-26-32.staticIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel

fabbioneBenC: ping?04:34
BenCfabbione: pong04:34
fabbioneBenC: did you talk with cjwatson about the kernel upload?04:34
fabbioneI had to push a 7.11 on his behalf to fix missing isofs04:35
fabbionebut my git here still doesn't frigging work04:35
fabbioneit's a one line change for debian/d-i/....04:35
BenCfabbione: That's ok, because ubuntu-2.6 git is at 2.6.20-git now04:35
fabbionethe rest is only to workaround the ABI checker because i couldn't fetch all the ABI's04:35
BenCfabbione: If you can send me a diff, I'll include it for git04:35
fabbionedoing04:36
MithrandirBenC: how come that it didn't ftbfs?  Isn't isofs required for any udebs?04:36
BenCMithrandir: I redid the udeb's for feisty to clean things up04:37
Mithrandirok.04:37
BenCguessing I missed that module04:37
fabbioneMithrandir: the kernel module is in the deb but not copied in the isofs.. that's not FTBFS04:37
fabbionehem04:37
fabbioneisofs/udeb04:37
Mithrandirfabbione: ok, so it was just missing from the correct udeb package list04:38
BenCright04:38
fabbioneMithrandir: yeps04:38
fabbioneBenC: http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/cocktastic.diff04:39
fabbioneout of the entire diff you need a one liner :)04:39
fabbioneand the debian/control is still due to LC_ALL=C thingy04:40
=== BenC worries about that URL being in his browser history
BenCfabbione: Should isofs really be "?"04:41
fabbioneBenC: i was not sure if it was module on all kernels.. so i just made it a failsafe04:41
fabbioneBenC: you are welcome to remove ? if you are sure it's not required04:41
fabbionei didn't have all the images handy due to port being out of sync and blablabla04:41
BenCpretty sure it is required04:41
fabbioneso i couldn't verify04:41
fabbioneoh and btw.. we need to update the getabis script to cope with the new lowlatency kernels04:42
MithrandirBenC: also, can you make the kernel build faster?  > 4 hours is getting excessive..04:42
Mithrandir(or our i386 buildd is shit and should be taken out and shot)04:42
fabbioneMithrandir: the latter :)04:42
fabbionei so totally blame our buildd04:43
BenCyeah, it only takes about 40 minutes for me04:43
kylemlet's just disable all the drivers for Mithrandir's hardware04:43
fabbioneMithrandir: kernel build can fork... ask James to add CPU's.. many many CPU's with tons of sweet ram04:43
Mithrandirkylem: I think "some" people might complain if X40s suddenly stopped working.04:43
fabbionekylem: no, you really don't want to do that04:43
kylemfabbione, no shit.04:44
fabbionekylem: he has more hw than anybody else04:44
fabbionekylem: it mean basically # CONFIG_BUILD_KERNEL is not set04:44

BenCjbailey: for regressions (like with qla2xxx), then the current way you guys have been doing things seems to be working07:30
BenCjbailey: I don't know if we need anything more formal than an lp bug, and support pinging the kernel team till they wake up and get on it :)07:31
BenCjbailey: Maybe you, I and Matt need to formalize how much priority we put on this stuff in comparison to our normal work though07:32

BenCsuperm1: I recall looking at lirc before, but I think it was too crappy to include or something11:21
BenCsuperm1: I also remember ivtv11:22
superm1well i know that there was a lot of breakage for it in edgy11:22
superm1i2dc and gpio wouldnt build11:22
BenCcan you send me URL's to both so I can take a quick look?11:22
superm1newest ivtv should have no trouble and uses module-assistant. http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/x11/ivtv-source11:23
BenCmodule assistant means nothing when including it in the proper kernel11:23
superm1and actually that version won't go against 2.6.19 - its intended for 2.6.17, i can get a package in that will though11:23
superm1oh i see11:23
BenCI want upstream source tarballs11:24
superm1k, let me find the 2.6.19 tarball then.11:24
BenC2.6.19+11:24
BenCwe are going to have 2.6.20 in feisty11:24
superm1http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/archive/0.9.x/ivtv-0.9.0.tar.gz11:24
=== _human_blip_ [n=mike@220.157.65.29] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
superm1as of now 0.9.0 is intended for 2.6.19, i'm not sure what their take will be on 2.6.2011:25
superm1and as for lirc, the CVS snapshots should build against 2.6.19 with less trouble on gpio and i2c, but it would probably be better to get the newer lirc in feisty before adding a snapshot of just the modules11:26
superm1so probably hold off on the lirc until I can settle that with -motu11:27
BenCsuperm1: ivtv seems to build ok11:30
BenCI'll try to get it included in the next upload11:30
superm1okay cool11:30
superm1how soon will the pre2.6.20 kernels start popping up though?11:31
BenCthis week11:31
superm1and this built fine against the pre 2.6.20 or the 2.6.19 currently there though?11:31
BenCpre-2.6.2011:31
BenCmy local tree11:31
superm1okay great then.  dont need to do too much digging to watch out for breakage :)11:31
BenCI'll depend on you to test if it actually works, I just compile it :)11:32
superm1hehe okay11:32
superm1okay i'll see if i can't sort out the lirc mess to make sure we have something that would compile cleanly with all the modules.  i'll ping you again once i sort that with -motu11:33
superm1thanks for getting this in :)11:33

=== Bluhd [n=michael@64.191.168.24] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BluhdI've got a question about the timing resolution about the kernel12:13
Bluhdwhenever I run Rosegarden, it complains that the kernel's timing resolution is too low12:14
Bluhdis this related to the fact that if you use sleep(1); in C++ that it sleeps for one second instead of one millisecond?12:15
