| shwag | what kernel does dapper server install by default ? | 12:36 |
|---|---|---|
| BenC | the -server kernel | 12:37 |
| shwag | what is the difference between linux-image-686 and linux-686-smp ? they both actually appear to be SMP | 12:37 |
| joefso23jh | with and wihtout preempt? | 12:43 |
| JanC | -smp is a meta-package | 12:43 |
| joefso23jh | I pulled 2.6.19 from git today | 12:44 |
| joefso23jh | and I got: http://pastebin.ca/270903 | 12:45 |
| JanC | to make sure those who had an smp kernel in previous versions of Ubuntu didn't get stuck with an old useless kernel after an upgrade | 12:45 |
| joefso23jh | (while building the same config from 2.6.19 feitsy) | 12:45 |
| joefso23jh | s/the/with the/g | 12:45 |
| JanC | shwag: almost all kernels are smp-ready since dapper | 12:47 |
| kylem | joefso23jh, so? | 12:47 |
| joefso23jh | is there any fix? | 12:48 |
| shwag | Yah it looks like, linux-686-smp is preemt ... while linux-image-server is not preemt. | 12:48 |
| kylem | it's in git. not uploaded. | 12:48 |
| joefso23jh | so it's known? | 12:48 |
| kylem | why don't you go get the source from feisty. | 12:48 |
| joefso23jh | cause packages.ubuntu doesn't seem to be uptodate | 12:48 |
| shwag | uhh...how do I safely remove linux-686-smp from my system ? | 12:49 |
| joefso23jh | apt-get remove --purge ? | 12:50 |
| shwag | joefso23jh: will that put grub back properly ? | 12:52 |

| BenC | Keybuk: ping | 04:01 |
| Keybuk | BenC: yo | 04:03 |
| BenC | Keybuk: I think I figured out the missing bit for "the plan" | 04:03 |
| dade` | maybee this one will sleep WITH macbook | 04:04 |
| BenC | Keybuk: I was wondering how all this would work when udev didn't have a "rule" for device->driver, and we wanted binding to just work...udev had no info on this | 04:04 |
| dade` | (wow sexy) | 04:04 |
| Keybuk | go on? | 04:04 |
| BenC | Keybuk: So what I am going to do is make the kernel send a "match" event for when it would normally bind with a device, so that udev can send that bind to the driver | 04:04 |
| Keybuk | how do you mean? over the netlink socket? | 04:05 |
| Keybuk | how would you know udev was on the other end? | 04:05 |
| BenC | if auto-bind is disabled, the kernel would send an event of some kind saying "this driver and device match, do something", and whatever is on the other end would do that thing | 04:06 |
| BenC | Keybuk: unless I'm missing something, in the plan you have now, if udev disables auto-bind in the kernel, there's nothing that says to actually do the binding on devices that don't have a specific driver rule | 04:07 |
| BenC | kylem: I don't see CVE-2006-4572 listed in your dapper changelog | 04:09 |
| kylem | BenC, i still haven't heard back from patrick, i pinged him again last night. | 04:09 |
| Keybuk | BenC: the plan was that there'd be a generic rule | 04:09 |
| BenC | kylem: So are we uploading dapper without 4572 fix? | 04:10 |
| Keybuk | make DRIVER= work like NAME=, so the first one sticks | 04:10 |
| Keybuk | then just do specific stuff early | 04:10 |
| kylem | BenC, yes, pitti wanted it uploaded because of a local root hole, iirc | 04:10 |
| Keybuk | and as a final rule, just have a general ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", DRIVER="modprobe $env{MODALIAS}" | 04:10 |
| Keybuk | (where modprobe is the udev builtin thing) | 04:10 |
| zul | so breezy is ok as well since it doesnt have CVE-2006-4572 and its already been uploaded previously | 04:10 |
| Keybuk | BenC: the one thing I was thinking; bind and unbind override the usual device tables, yes? | 04:11 |
| BenC | Keybuk: Sure, that will load the driver, but I mean what will cause the bind? | 04:11 |
| kylem | BenC, 4572 isn't exactly what i'd call a critical hole... | 04:11 |
| BenC | kylem: Ok, just making sure I had everything | 04:11 |
| Keybuk | BenC: I was thinking we just make udev always do it | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | so as well as making /dev nodes, one of its other primary functions is to bind devices and drivers | 04:12 |
| Keybuk | so after processing a rule, if there's any DRIVER set, it binds it | 04:13 |
| BenC | Keybuk: but what if there's no driver set? :) | 04:13 |
| Keybuk | we'd set one from the alias tables? | 04:13 |
| Keybuk | as a default rule | 04:13 |
| BenC | ok | 04:16 |

| BenC | joefso: Is this ubuntu-2.6? | 07:32 |
| bronson | Can anyone suggest a version number for my linux-vserver enabled kernel? I'm basing it off kernel 2.6.17.1-10.35 and adding vserver 2.0.2.1 | 07:34 |
| bronson | Would that be 2.6.17.1.vserver2.0.2.1-10.35? | 07:35 |
| bronson | Or should I change something else? | 07:36 |
| BenC | bronson: I actually suggest just making a new flavour | 07:42 |
| bronson | BenC: sounds good. How do I do that? | 07:43 |
| BenC | bronson: Copy debian/config/i386/*.generic to *.vserver-2.0.2.1 | 07:43 |
| BenC | and edit was needed | 07:43 |
| BenC | then do : debian/rules debian/control.stub | 07:43 |
| bronson | Ah, OK. | 07:43 |
| BenC | and do the normal build | 07:43 |
| bronson | Would it make sense to have generic-vserver2.0.2.1, server-bigiron-vserver2.0.2.1, etc? | 07:44 |
| bronson | That would make sense to me, anyway. :) I'll try it. | 07:45 |
| bronson | BenC: I also need to change the files in debian/abi/2.6.17-10.34/i386 right? | 08:44 |
| BenC | no | 08:44 |
| BenC | ignore those | 08:44 |
| BenC | bronson: Edit debian/rules and set skipabi=true | 08:45 |
| bronson | ah, ok. Will do. | 08:45 |
| bronson | I notice that the kernel is .34 but the abi is still .33 in the 2.6.17 git tree. | 08:45 |
| BenC | .33 is not the ABI | 08:47 |
| BenC | the ABI is 10 | 08:47 |
| BenC | .33 and .34, those are the release revs | 08:47 |
| BenC | it increments everytime we do an upload...the 10 is only incremented when the ABI changes | 08:48 |
| bronson | I mean, the directory is named debian/abi/2.6.17-10.33 | 08:48 |
| BenC | right, we keep the previous abi's to compare with the current build | 08:49 |
| bronson | cool. | 08:49 |
| BenC | current ABI's are only known after the build, so we can't very well keep those in the upload | 08:49 |
| bronson | :) got it. | 08:49 |
| bronson | thanks. | 08:49 |
| bronson | BenC: skipabi was true because I'm using AUTOBUILD=1. | 08:56 |

| joefso | well 1) we already have lowlatency in feitsy 2) ck isn't that dificult to main, most of the time it applies clieanly ontop of the git tree | 09:20 |
| BenC | joefso: You are more than welcome to provide such kernel packages yourself though | 09:20 |
| === anibal [n=anibal@debian/developer/anibal] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| BenC | joefso: You've no idea what it takes to maintain the kernel once you've added patches that modify stock kernel code | 09:21 |
| BenC | security, updates, changes from upstream, all these things break it | 09:21 |
| BenC | I just spent the past two days getting our ubuntu/* drivers to build under 2.6.20-pre git | 09:21 |
| BenC | that's easy because it didn't touch stock kernel code | 09:22 |
| joefso | well, most of the time con just takes vanilla and then inclues latest stable into his patchset. However just applying them from broken-out is not much work until now, atleast those a re my experiences. And I have used it for quite some time now. The only thing I havn't really done is benchmark them to ubuntu kernels. | 09:22 |
| joefso | well perhaps I should take it for testing through ubuntuforums? | 09:23 |
| joefso | and see where it gets me | 09:23 |
| joefso | and how the community reacts | 09:23 |
| BenC | joefso: What is in -ck that would be so beneficial? | 09:23 |

| joefso | *-ionice | 09:24 |
| BenC | why are those patches not in mainline kernel? | 09:24 |
| BenC | that's not really a question, it's more of a statement | 09:25 |
| joefso | yes I noticed | 09:25 |
| BenC | they aren't in there because they aren't stable yet | 09:25 |
| joefso | did you ever had time to take a look at it? | 09:25 |
| BenC | give me a URL? | 09:26 |
| joefso | and I remember some time where andrew morton would put ck code into -mm | 09:26 |
| joefso | http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/ | 09:26 |
| BenC | -mm isn't a stable tree by any means :) | 09:27 |
| BenC | eh, it already gets a big NO | 09:27 |
| BenC | latest is against .18, and we are doing .20pre | 09:27 |
| joefso | take a look at the patches dir | 09:27 |
| joefso | perhaps i(havn't looked yet) there are patches for .20pre in testing patches | 09:28 |
| BenC | even .19 is not good enough | 09:28 |
| joefso | and if it's worth con kolivas could even provide it, if we would just ask, or else fix up the broken diffs our selves. Form the point I have seen it all he does until now is keepon syncing code with current stable. | 09:29 |
| BenC | joefso: 33 changes files, and 125k diff | 09:30 |
| BenC | that's more than our current delta against the mainline kernel | 09:30 |
| BenC | by almost double | 09:30 |
| bronson | BenC: Instead of creating different flavors, I need to create packages with an entirely different base name? Does that sound right or am I missing something? | 09:30 |
| BenC | bronson: Why? | 09:30 |
| bronson | Because if I only change the flavor, my package will still claim to be built from Ubuntu's source package. | 09:31 |
| bronson | It's not though... I've applied the linux-vserver patch. | 09:31 |
| === Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| BenC | it will be linux-image-2.6.17-10-vserver package name though | 09:32 |
| bronson | But it still claims to be built from linux-source-2.6.17-10 right? | 09:32 |
| BenC | if you want that much differentiation from our source, I can't help you...way too much involved | 09:32 |
| bronson | Well, the source issues are solved. It's the packaging issues that are stumping me. :) | 09:33 |
| BenC | you're getting into common packaging questions that are probably best solved in #ubuntu | 09:36 |
| bronson | Am I? Not many people there have dealt with control.stub... | 09:37 |
| bronson | Or kernel flavors. | 09:37 |
| BenC | but you want to change the source package | 09:38 |
| BenC | which actually is as simple as editing the changelog | 09:38 |
| bronson | Or building with -sa. | 09:39 |
| bronson | I guess you're right -- it's not a problem. I must have screwed up reprepro somehow. | 09:42 |
| bronson | My package's source package: linux-source-2.6.17_2.6.17.1-10.34.vserver2.0.2.1.tar.gz :) | 09:43 |
| bronson | I don't think there's quite enough version numbers in there... maybe I could add grsecurity. | 09:43 |

| joefso23 | hello | 10:43 |
| joefso23 | I'm unable to use "!" when invoking dialog --yesno "tekst" 5 80 | 10:44 |
| kylem | and? | 10:44 |
| joefso23 | when i add a ! to the "tekst" I get: rror: Expected no more than 3 tokens for --yesno, have 5 | 10:45 |
| kylem | how is this a kernel problem. | 10:45 |
| joefso23 | damn wrong channel | 10:45 |
| joefso23 | excuse me | 10:45 |
| kylem | ps: add a \ | 10:45 |
| joefso23 | no won't do, but anyway excuse me | 10:46 |
| kylem | works in zsh. ;-) try single quotes instead of double in bash. | 10:47 |
| bronson | BenC: When I run debian/rules debian/control.stub, a bunch of packages get "-ref" added to their names. | 10:59 |
| bronson | Is there an easy way to make -ref not appear? | 10:59 |
| BenC | bronson: no | 11:00 |
| bronson | So just live with it? :) | 11:00 |
| bronson | OK. | 11:00 |
| BenC | you're trying to do stuff that the build system there wasn't designed to do | 11:00 |
| BenC | you're sort of on your own :) | 11:00 |
| bronson | True. I can live with that. Hope you don't mind if I ask you easy questions though. | 11:01 |

| === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| bronson | BenC, can you tell me briefly where -ref comes from? | 11:09 |
| BenC | what do you mean by -ref? | 11:09 |
| bronson | linux-headers-2.6.17-10-ref | 11:09 |
| BenC | I don't know what -ref is | 11:09 |
| bronson | (from the debian/control file) | 11:09 |
| BenC | is that what it actually says? | 11:10 |
| bronson | Yes, it showed up when I ran debian/rules debian/control.stub. | 11:10 |
| bronson | I'll dig deeper. | 11:10 |
| BenC | if you actually see "-ref" then you likely buggered something to make it do that | 11:10 |
| BenC | head -1 debian/changelog | 11:10 |
| BenC | let me see that | 11:10 |
| bronson | The full line is "Package: linux-headers-2.6.17-10-ref" | 11:11 |
| bronson | not all names have -ref, just some. | 11:11 |
| bronson | here you go: linux-source-2.6.17 (2.6.17.1-10.34.vserver2.0.2.1) edgy; urgency=low | 11:11 |
| bronson | No, it didn't show up when I ran debian/rules debian/control.stub . That went OK. | 11:14 |
| bronson | I'll dig into this further before asking more. And start with a fresh git tree. | 11:15 |
| BenC | that's the problem | 11:17 |
| BenC | do not add the .vserver2.0.2.1 in the versioning | 11:17 |
| bronson | Ah, good. | 11:19 |
| bronson | Is there a place I can maintain a rev number? I don't expect to get this package right the first time. :) | 11:19 |
| bronson | Or do I just need to bump the .34 to .35 and diverge from your upstream package? | 11:20 |
| BenC | that's the idea | 11:21 |
| bronson | OK, will do. | 11:21 |
| bronson | Thanks. | 11:21 |
