BenCmjg59: ping01:12
mjg59BenC: Hi01:20
BenCmjg59: You seem to be the right guy to talk to about usplash_write :)01:20
BenCmjg59: I have a script that is using INPUTENTER, and the second call doesn't seem to wait for an enter key...any ideas?01:21
mjg59I didn't write that code, I'm afraid01:21
BenCAh, then the manpage is misleading01:22
BenCor maybe you're the author of the manpage01:22
mjg59Oh, I wrote the rest of it01:22
mjg59Just not the input stuff01:22

mdzBenC__: I'm sure I"ve asked this before, but I don't remember...can I use either of the sets of prebuilt vmware modules with VMWare workstation?  if so, which one?  if not, what's my alternative?01:59
lifelessits the same modules for both workstation and server no ?02:00
BenC__mdz: Either -player or -server should work with workstation02:00
mdzBenC: I have the server modules installed, but can't get workstation to run02:01
BenCmdz: It's not simple getting it to use them though02:01
mdzvmware-config.pl tries to build the modules and fails (they don't compile)02:01
BenCmdz: is this workstation 5 or beta6?02:01
mdzBenC: 502:02
mdzis it easier with 6?02:02
BenCmdz: No, but I have beta6 tarballs that build02:02
BenCyou can probably snag the tarballs in lrm and put them in /usr/local/lib/vmware/modules/source/02:02
mdzI only have a license for 502:02
mdzmaybe it's time to try kvm02:02
BenCgrep vmx /proc/cpuinfo02:03
BenCif that doesn't show anything you might as well use qemu02:03
mdzit doesn't (this is an amd64)02:03
BenCOh, I forget what the amd64 flag is02:03
mdzopen /dev/kvm: No such file or directory02:04
mdzCould not initialize KVM, will disable KVM support02:04
BenCbut "modprobe kvm-amd" should only work if you support it02:04
BenCyou have to load the module manually02:04
BenCand you'll need to add yourself to the kvm group to access /dev/kvm02:04
mdzdoesn't load, oh well02:05
BenCqemu works pretty well02:08
BenCnot sure what you are using it for, but I used it for some install/kernel testing02:09

BenCusplash seems to be just dieing when I use INPUTENTER02:35
=== mjg59 [n=mjg59@cavan.codon.org.uk] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCmjg59: is there an easy way to test usplash from command line?02:42
mjg59BenC: Easiest is to ssh in03:03
BenCconfirmed...using any sort of input junk just fucks usplash all up03:32
BenCif it doesn't crash immediate, it will shortly after03:32
=== anibal [n=anibal@debian/developer/anibal] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
mjg59BenC: Probably some buffer overrun in there03:39
mjg59BenC: Tried valgrinding it?03:39
BenCnot yet03:40
pkl_mdz: BenC: the am64 VT flag is svm ...03:40
BenCmjg59: valgrind doesn't show anything useful03:46
BenCI think it might just be the fifo getting closed03:47
BenCmjg59: Found it...close(fifo_outfd) gets called when fifo_outfd isn't initialized to anything know03:51
BenCbetting it's closing random fd's03:51
mjg59BenC: Oh, urgh.03:55
mjg59BenC: It's in bzr - feel free to commit a fix :)03:55

BenCfree(inputbuf);05:01
mjg59Oops.05:05
BenCThis thing is whacked...usplash_write "INPUTENTER ..." doesn't block, but usplash does until it gets input05:08
kylemheh.05:11
BenCthe broken part is that the outfifo doesn't get anything when INPUTENTER is used05:15
BenCyay, it's working05:25
BenCthree bugs in one function05:28
BenCmjg59: Got the bzr url for usplash?05:32
mjg59Not to hand05:32
mjg59It's on Launchpad05:32
BenCsweet, the fixes give me working usplash stuff for driver-updates05:39

_MMA_BenC: Can you still use the -lowlatency kernels in Edgy?10:54
=== _MMA_ doesnt know if things have changed.
BenC_MMA_: Current kernels have problems with older hal10:54
_MMA_:(10:54
BenCyou can use it, but some things stop working (like inserted a CD or usb-storage drive wont auto-mount)10:55
_MMA_Ok. Ill let them know.10:55
_MMA_I have someone who wants to try it.10:55
BenCyou could pull in the newer hal with the rest of the deps that feisty kernel needs10:55
_MMA_Thanx.10:55
_MMA_Ok.10:55
BenChal, udev, module-init-tools, initramfs-tools10:56
BenCthat should cover it10:56
_MMA_It should just do it right? As a depend?10:56
_MMA_The update.10:56
BenCkernel doesn't depend on too many things like it's supposed to10:56
_MMA_Well it mess with a Edgy kernel?10:56
BenCI can conflict with older hal, but then it might cause older hal to get removed, so I don't do it10:57
_MMA_If they go back that is.10:57
BenCnot sure10:57
_MMA_Ok.10:57
BenCactually it does a little10:57
BenCinitramfs-tools wont generate initrd's for edgy kernels10:57
_MMA_hmm...10:57
BenCI should probably fix that, so that might not be true for feisty release10:58
_MMA_Ok. I have a guinea pig but this might deter them.10:58
lifelessisn't there a DRI ABI incompatability across edgy <-> feisty ?11:12
