[01:39] <mjg59> BenC: Any chance you could turn off all the new experimental RTC class stuff?
[01:40] <mjg59> BenC: Or rtc-cmos, at least - it's impossible to load it because CONFIG_RTC has already claimed the io ports, but by having it enabled /proc/acpi/alarm is broken.
[04:30] <burzum> hi
[04:31] <mjg59> BenC: Thanks!
[04:32] <burzum> im running ubuntu 6.06 kernel 2.6.15-26-server and need to compile dmraid into the kernel, how do i do that? how get i the correct sources?
[06:35] <crimsun> burzum: apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r)
[06:36] <crimsun> burzum: you may find the wiki link in the /topic helpful
[01:00] <st3> hi everybody, i'm a maintainer of bcm43xx
[01:00] <st3> some ubuntu users are reporting a broken bcm43xx driver, so i'd like to know what driver version you put into ubuntu kernel "2.6.20-15-generic #2 SMP x86_64"
[05:10] <manchicken> Was the atiixp fix ubuntu or upstream?
[08:53] <stiv2k> can someone help me i cannot load this module powernow-k8 on my laptop
[08:54] <stiv2k> for cpu frequency scalign
[08:54] <stiv2k> i have a turion64x2
[08:54] <stiv2k> ubuntu 7.04 amd64 install
[08:54] <st3> you should paste your dmesg to pastebin.com or such
[08:54] <stiv2k> i was gonna paste it here its only 3 lines if you dont mind
[08:54] <st3> (i'm not from ubuntu team)
[08:54] <st3> yes, please do it
[08:55] <stiv2k> [ 2256.872227]  powernow-k8: Found 2 AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-52 processors (version 2.00.00)
[08:55] <stiv2k> [ 2256.871759]  powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure
[08:55] <stiv2k> [ 2256.872478]  powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure

[08:55] <st3> so i'd say you can't do power scaling on your processor
[08:55] <stiv2k> correct
[08:56] <stiv2k> its stuck at 1.61 ghz
[08:56] <st3> no, wait
[08:56] <st3> you probably need the freq_table module
[08:57] <stiv2k> i loaded that module
[08:57] <stiv2k> but i still cant load powernow-k8
[08:58] <stiv2k> ?
[08:59] <st3> wait...
[09:01] <st3> try loading the acpi-cpufreq module
[09:01] <stiv2k> yeah that gives teh same thing here
[09:01] <stiv2k> FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.20-16-generic/kernel/arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device
[09:02] <st3> did you somehow disable ACPI?
[09:02] <stiv2k> hmm im not sure this is a fairly fresh install
[09:02] <stiv2k> how can i check?
[09:03] <st3> ok, so you probably didn't :)
[09:04] <st3> (maybe you changed something in the BIOS settings, though)
[09:04] <stiv2k> coolnquiet works fine in windows
[09:04] <stiv2k> so bios settings should be ok, i haven't tinkered with those
[09:05] <st3> ok
[09:06] <st3> do you get "BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects" or still "MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure" now?
[09:06] <stiv2k> in dmesg?
[09:06] <stiv2k> powernow-k8: MP systems not supported by PSB BIOS structure
[09:07] <st3> ok...
[09:08] <st3> please try "modprobe processor"
[09:09] <stiv2k> done
[09:09] <st3> what does modprobing powernow-k8 say now?
[09:10] <stiv2k> same thing
[09:10] <st3> very strange
[09:10] <st3> well, off to dinner, bbl
[09:10] <stiv2k> pfft
[09:10] <stiv2k> thanks anyway
[09:10] <st3> (maybe post a bug report to launchpad or blame ubuntu in some way :)
[09:37] <st3> stiv2k, please see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8075
[09:37] <stiv2k> ok
[09:38] <st3> (and http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=178585 , always the same bug)
[09:38] <stiv2k> st3: anything specific i should be lookign for
[09:40] <stiv2k> st3: just to double check] 
[09:40] <stiv2k> how can i make sure acpi is enabled or disabled
[09:41] <st3> dmesg | grep ACPI
[09:41] <stiv2k> seeing a LOT of results
[09:41] <stiv2k> so i guess its enabled
[09:41] <st3> yep :)
[09:41] <stiv2k> ok so at these bug trackers
[09:41] <stiv2k> what am i looking for
[09:41] <stiv2k> and are there solutions
[09:42] <st3> if i were you, i'd post a bug report at launchpad.net/+ubuntu
[09:42] <st3> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
[09:43] <stiv2k> k
[10:11] <JanC> stiv2k: if you file a bug, maybe also link it to the upstream bug report
[10:13] <stiv2k> whats that JanC ?
[10:14] <JanC> didn't st3 point to someone with the same bug at kernel.org ?
[10:15] <stiv2k> yeah
[10:16] <JanC> after you have submitted your bug report, you can link upstream bug reports to it
[10:17] <JanC> then the Ubuntu developers and everyone else who's subscribed to the report on launchpad will get informed when it gets fixed in upstream
[11:03] <defendguin> i'm trying to install an updated version of a kernel module but after i install and modprobe the module it is using the old module how can i prevent this?
[11:03] <st3> how did you check it's using the old module
[11:03] <st3> ?
[11:04] <st3> and how did you install the new kernel module?
[11:04] <defendguin> dmesg output 
[11:04] <defendguin> it says the version number when i modprobe it
[11:05] <defendguin> there is a custom written script to build and install the module
[11:05] <st3> what module is it?
[11:05] <defendguin> gspca
[11:06] <st3> ok, what does the script do?
[11:06] <st3> please try this: move your old module to another location (maybe add a .old to the filename)
[11:06] <st3> then run your script and issue depmod -a
[11:06] <st3> and try again
[11:07] <st3> probably, either ubuntu or the custom script doesn't install the module in the default location, so you get two modules within the same /lib/modules tree
[11:07] <defendguin> lets see
[11:08] <defendguin> mkdir -p /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/
[11:08] <defendguin> rm -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/spca5xx.ko
[11:08] <defendguin> rm -f /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/media/video/gspca.ko
[11:08] <defendguin> install -c -m 0644 gspca.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/media/
[11:08] <defendguin> /sbin/depmod -ae
[11:09] <st3> does every command succeed?
[11:09] <st3> i bet some rm -f doesn't
[11:09] <defendguin> looks like it
[11:09] <st3> well, try to manually remove the old modules and see what happens
[11:10] <st3> either you won't be able to load it or you will load the new one
[11:10] <st3> (you can check the path where the old module is with modinfo [module name] )
[11:10] <defendguin> where is the ko file supposed to be kept?
[11:10] <defendguin> ahhh
[11:11] <st3> ehhh :)
[11:11] <st3> (to find the old .ko file, cd /lib/modules; find | grep pca)
[11:13] <defendguin> perfect
[11:13] <defendguin> it loaded the right one this time
[11:14] <defendguin> i just gotta figure out how to keep this from being over written each time there is an update to the kernel
[11:40] <defendguin> st3:  why would it say this in my dmesg output?
[11:40] <defendguin> [16338.444000]  /home/supertux/Desktop/gspcav1-20070512/gspca_core.c: [gspca_set_isoc_ep:907]  ISO EndPoint found 0x81 AlternateSet 7
[11:40] <defendguin> why that path?
[12:11] <st3> defendguin, because you compiled it on your Desktop
[12:11] <st3> that's not related at all
[12:18] <defendguin> i was just wondering why
[12:18] <defendguin> i thought it might have been looking for that file or something
