BenC"...this document refers to domains as abstract isolated environments in the platform to which a subset of host physical memory is allocated."01:35
BenCI love reading tech speak to my friends, just to see the look on their face01:35
BenCKeeps them from asking me the same question all the time.."What are you reading?"01:36
Nafallohaha01:42
zulBenC: virt?01:51
BenCVT-d01:53
BenCIO virtualization from Intel01:53
BenCpretty cool stuff, let's you put a devices IO into a domain so that only the driver, or the guest system can access it...sort of like jail for devices01:54
BenCthat way the device cannot scribble DMA all over memory, and guest systems can have direct access to devices on the host without worrying about compromising the host01:55
BenCSo you can insert a network card, and SATA card, and have it assigned directly to the virtual machine01:57

BenClifeless: yo02:03
lifelessthink I'm running into the multiply-mounted squashfs bug in 2.6.10-17 here with ubuntu-on-tap02:03
lifelesswondering what the workaround on the livecd was so I can reproduce it02:03
BenCThe workaround was to not do it02:04
BenCthe fix is in edgy-security02:04
lifelessok,so I'm using the livecd squashfs as-is, I presume that means I have the fix...02:04
BenCare you getting a zlib oops from the kernel?02:05
lifelessyes02:05
BenCyou have the workaround on the current edgy live-cd02:05
lifelessthe stock 6.10 iso ?02:05
BenCshould be, yes02:05
BenCthe workaround was to copy directly from the squasfs root mount, as opposed to mounting temp and copying from there02:06
lifelessrighto, so that should still be in place02:06
lifelesslet me see02:06

BenCbest person to ask is cjwatson, he does ubiquity and did the workaround02:07
lifelessnow you say that there is a fix - you mean kernel fix yes? - in edgy-security ?02:07
BenCright, the kernel in edgy-security has a fixed squashfs02:07
BenCthere was talk of an edgy point-release to pull it and other things in, but I've no idea if that will happen02:07
lifelessah-ha, I dont have security on my master machine02:08
kinemaIs there a list of patches that have been applied to the various "official" Ubuntu kernels?  I looked on the wiki but wasn't able to find anything02:08
lifelessI'll install that kernel and generate a initrd and see.02:08
lifelessthanks!02:08
BenCkinema: It's all in the git repo via revision history02:09
kinemahmm... that's a pretty obious one is it?  now i feel kind of stupid.02:10
kinemaBenC: Have you had any luck getting the liveCD to boot in KVM?  I saw you making inquires on the KVM list recently.02:11
BenCkinema: I'm not sure I'm qualified to do the real-mode 32-bit changes needed for it02:12
lifelessBenC: whats the fixed kernel-version ?02:12
kinemaUnderstandable... that's some pretty gritty work.02:12
BenClifeless: Can't recall02:13
kinemaDoes anyone know if it's possible to patch a kernel with the d80211/devicescape code using just the headers or if a from the ground up custom kernel is required.02:20
mjg59There's a one-line patch needed to the main kernel02:23
kinemamjg59: for d80211?  I thought all the code was in the wireless-dev tree still.02:24
kinemamjg59: what one-line patch?02:33
kinemawhat kernel is feisty herd 2 running?02:41

crimsunor rc4, don't remember immediately, but it has many, many patches02:43
Nafallorc4 I think02:43
kinemaif it's heavily patched I think I'll just download linus' rc5 and patch it myself.02:44
kinemaugh.... gitweb is slow!02:57
kinemapainfully slow02:57

jes-o-matkylem, BenC: I'd like to retest #37452 but till now it's quite unclear to which git you have uploaded your patch. http://kernel.org/git/ states that both of your dapper-updates repos haven't been updated since weeks?02:48
BenCjes-o-mat: Use dapper-proposed repo to get the built kernel02:48
kylemer, oops, did i forget to push? :\02:49
kylemi did, terribly sorry.02:51
jes-o-matBenC: is there also a proposed update for the u-i somewhere?02:51
BenCu-i?02:51
jes-o-matubuntu-installer =)02:52
jes-o-mat. o O (just named it like that because of d-i ;)02:52
BenCthe installer doesn't get rebuilt in -proposed, but you can surely rebuild it using the debs/udebs in -proposed02:52
jes-o-matbut will there be some officially supported install medias available?02:53
jes-o-matso to say 6.06.2?02:54
BenChttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelUpdates02:56
BenCthat explains how fixes in -proposed get to stable02:57
BenCbasically, it needs testing before it gets into a stable kernel, and then it's left in the hands of the release team as to whether or not a point release occurs for new CD's02:57
MithrandirBenC: s/release team/stable release team/ :-)02:58
kylemBenC, http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2007/01/15/intel_robson_pcie_approval/02:58
jes-o-matBenC: where shall test-reports being send to? reply to #3745202:59
BenCkylem: I wonder if the linux community has even pondered how to make use of that03:00
BenCjes-o-mat: To the bug report is the best place03:00
kylemBenC, i am... :)03:00
BenCkylem: Storing your pr0n passwords is not a legitimate use :P03:00
kylemjes-o-mat, if you could cc me privately as well, it would be good. my bugmail folder is pretty large.03:00
kylemBenC, no... suspend to disk.03:00
BenCUsing it for /boot would be nice too03:01
BenCwonder if the BIOS provides compatibility for accessing it like a normal drive03:01
kylemjes-o-mat, i picked the patches to backport out of one report there, if they didn't help, i can pretty quickly have a new kernel out for you to test, but if it requires me finishing going through bugs then it will take longer. :)03:01
jes-o-matthe x4100 are currently blocked by some collegues, but I expect that I can reinstall them tomorrow03:02
kylemok.03:03
jes-o-matbut it's quite unhandy, because I need to install to a single disk from CD, install kernel from proposed and then assemble the RAID to verify03:03
jes-o-matkylem: that is just waiting for your changes: http://boschman.de/gallery/v/bjoern/tec/sun-x4100/dsc00077.jpg.html :-)03:07

Keybukrandom thought ... is it possible to re-exec a crashed process based purely on the memory map of the process?12:08
kylemKeybuk, how do you mean?12:15
kylemKeybuk, like, program fully terminates, dumps core. then some time x later you want to rerun it? or immediately re-execute it on crash?12:16
