elcaseyhey, what's the status on the JMicron fix? Mid-next week?04:47
BenCwill be uploaded Sat04:48
BenCgive 24-48 hours for turn around on builds and archive process04:48
BenCI'd say by Monday for sure04:49
elcaseyoh nice04:49
elcaseymy current edgy install has just gotten so weird it's time to kill it, and I'd like to go with feisty now if it'll boot04:50
elcaseyit's supporting ralink wifi now, or still not worked out?04:50
BenCshould be working04:50
BenCwhich chip?04:50
elcaseyfinal question - i know it'll support compiz "out of the box" with supported drivers...will those also run beryl?04:51
elcaseyrt6104:51
BenCrt61 should work04:52
BenCif you can run compiz, you should be able to run beryl04:53
elcaseyexcellent!04:53
BenCberyl can be a little more intensive on the gpu though04:53
elcaseyseems the latest kernel will fix basically every linux issue i was having04:53
BenCso you may not be able to run it as well04:53
BenCglad to hear it04:53
elcaseywell, i have a 7950GT, but I had serious driver issues in my latests install04:53
elcaseyi'm actually running beryl on my intel 915 right now, which runs great, surprisingly. I've never tried compiz, i just may check it out.04:54
elcaseywhat version is monday's kernel going to be? 2.6.20-15?04:55
BenC-1305:01
elcaseyguess I got ahead of myself :P05:01
elcaseythanks very much, BenC05:02

tritiumBenC: atheros support wasn't touched in your latest fix for 2.6.20-12.20, right?  I can't even load ath_pci.  I get "Unknown symbol ath_hal_" errors.05:16
tritiumI have an AR521205:17
BenCare you sure you didn't disable it somehow with restricted-manager?05:17
tritiumI'll double check, but I highly doubt that.05:17
tritiumI run it, and it simply states my hardware doesn't need any restricted drivers.05:19
tritiumAnd "sudo restricted-manager" returns "modinfo: could not find module ath_hal" (among others)05:21
BenCsudo /etc/init.d/linux-restricted-modules-common start05:22
BenCsudo depmod -a05:22
BenCsudo modprobe ath_pci05:22
BenCsee if that does anything05:22
tritiumBenC: that did it.05:23
tritiumThank you.05:23
BenCnp05:23
tritiumI should say the module now loads, but network-manager still doesn't work with it.05:25

tritiumIs wireless with atheros AR5212 known not to work with 2.6.20?06:03
BenCtritium: -13 kernel upload has a new atheros driver, so probably wait for that06:45
tritiumBenC: great info.  Thanks.06:46
fabbioneah cool06:48
fabbioneabi change06:48
fabbionethat's exactly what i was looking for :)06:48
fabbionebecause also gfs2/dlm will change api ;)06:48
tritiumBenC: you already uploaded it?06:48
BenCtritium: No, should be available by Monday06:49
tritiumGreat.  Thanks!06:49
fabbioneBenC: can it wait at least your morning for upload? i want to finish to test these fixes06:51
BenCfabbione: Not uploading till Saturday (post beta)06:52
fabbioneBenC: ok perfect06:52
fabbioneshouldn't take me more than kernel build time + userland local rebuild and a couple of reboots to test06:53

Nafallohi! is there any way I can stop the race where I have two controllers, one SCSI and one using libata, and can never know which disks are sdb and which are sdf?07:53
Nafalloright now sdf and sdg are my RAID1 / :-P07:53
fabbioneNafallo: no you can't. that's why we mount by UUID07:54
fabbioneand what kind of problem is that anyway?07:55
fabbioneRAID doesn't need to know what devices are involved anyway07:55
fabbionenot to build the array at least07:55
fabbioneit uses the md superblock information to assemble it07:55
fabbioneso it doesn't matter how the devices are named07:55
fabbioneBenC, kylem:07:56
fabbioneChecking module listings...07:56
fabbioneModules have gone missing:07:56
fabbioneuvcvideo07:56
fabbioneWill not continue!07:56
fabbionemake: *** [build]  Error 107:56
fabbionethis is latest git07:56
Nafallowell, when I tried to restart newly upgraded feisty I got dropped into initramfs after it couldn't assemble /dev/md2 :-P07:56
fabbioneNafallo: that's not a kernel issue anyway.. talk to iwj and check mdadm bug list07:57
Nafalloso right now I've booted into one of the root-mirrors by plain luck :-P07:57
Nafallooki07:57
fabbionethe race is there rather than the kernel07:58
Nafalloah, right :-)07:58

moparisthebestdoes anyone know anything about the TCP congestion control plugins?08:10
moparisthebestfor example, how they work, and/or how one would go about writing a new one?08:10
Nafallofabbione: wait a moment... are we supposed to mount RAID1 as UUID now aswell?08:11
fabbioneNafallo: the filesystem on top of the raid.. yes.. if it has a uuid08:12
fabbionebut the problem is that mdadm is not assembling the raid08:12
fabbionethat's slightly different08:12
fabbionea raid has also a raid UUID08:12
fabbionethat's not the same as the filesystem UUID on top08:13
fabbionedon't get confused because they are 2 different thigns08:13
Nafalloyea, most likely cause it haven't loaded anything to get harddrives at that point :-)08:13
Nafalloso what should I have for root= on the kernel cmdline?08:13

fabbioneBenC: but the others seem to build from the kernel. tho i think it would be best to just update them 09:09

bdmurraymy laptop has a sd/ms-pro/mmc/xd reader and when I insert an xD card in it the kernel doesn't report it10:42
bdmurrayHow could I track that down or get some more useful information?10:42
mjg59It's not supported10:44
bdmurraywell, that makes it easy.  Is that true for all devices like that?10:45
mjg59The only xd readers we support are ones that connect via USB10:49
bdmurrayOh, so the one in my desktop is connected via USB.  So if future bugs come in about on board xd media readers they should be rejected?10:54
mjg59No, it's a valid bug10:57
mjg59It's just not one that's going to be fixed in the near future10:57
bdmurrayIs there a "master" bug for those then?  One that all dupes should go to?10:58

Nafalloata7.01 (sde) failed in the RAID5-array :-/11:05
Nafalloand that paste is from dmesg11:06
Nafalloshould I be worried? :-)11:06
mjg59What kernel?11:06
mjg59And does this always happen?11:06
Nafallolatest feisty11:07
Nafallo2.6.20-12-server11:07
Nafallono idea. the disk is new to me. plugged it in yesterday :-)11:07
mjg59See if the same happens with older kernels11:08
mjg59Then file a bug11:08
NafalloI'm doing a cat /dev/zero > /dev/sde now and will try to add it to the array again. we'll see what happens :-)11:08

Nafallobaah11:28
Nafallo[25195.000000]  Buffer I/O error on device sde, logical block 42307211:28

Nafallobroken hardware, right?11:28
mjg59Sounds like it11:29
mjg59But try it on a different port11:30
Nafallothe other ports have drives connected, but sure, I could swap some of them :-)11:30
Nafalloehrm, launchpad doesn't have older kernels?11:54
mjg59Correct11:56
Nafallohow irritating :-P11:57
Nafallothen I can't test older kernels11:58
Mithrandirit does, it's just well-hidden12:04
Mithrandirfind the previous version, find the build for the architecture you're interested in, and download the "resulting binaries"12:05
Nafalloah, kewl :-)12:07
