[01:48] <spettit> hey
[01:49] <spettit> i have a few questions and i need some help on where to direct them
[01:49] <BFTD> ok
[01:49] <spettit> i'm looking for some help with video drivers
[01:50] <spettit> i'm assuming this isn't the propper channel
[01:50] <BFTD> what OS?
[01:50] <BFTD> no
[01:50] <BFTD> but I'll start you off
[01:50] <spettit> i'm assuming this isn't the propper channel
[01:51] <spettit> i could use any help you could provide
[01:53] <BFTD> Well, the main help chan is #ubuntu, but if you have kubuntu then go into #kubuntu, or Xubuntu go to #xubuntu
[01:53] <BFTD> but what video card?
[01:53] <spettit> a nVidia 7600 GT
[01:54] <BFTD> nice card
[01:54] <spettit> a nVidia 7600 GS is listed in the HCL
[01:54] <BFTD> yeah that's fine
[01:54] <spettit> and it's PCIe 16x
[01:54] <spettit> i'm having a hell of a time getting the thing to run
[01:55] <spettit> and i've seen a few other people who have had problems with fiesty fawn getting it to run as well
[01:55] <BFTD> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[01:55] <spettit> that's it?
[01:56] <spettit> because after install i can't even get x to start
[01:56] <spettit> i had to install in text mode
[01:57] <BFTD> no
[01:57] <BFTD> then run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[01:58] <BFTD> or maybe its xorg-xserver
[01:58] <BFTD> I can never remember
[02:04] <spettit> thanks
[02:04] <spettit> i'll have to try that when i get hom
[02:04] <spettit> home

[10:24] <abogani> TheMuso: Bug #131029 would be great to have.
[10:29] <TheMuso> abogani: You mean the RT on PowerPC, yeah it would.
[01:08] <kraut> does anybody know, how i could send a magic-sysrq through a remote terminal-console over  cyclades tsc?
[02:56] <abogani> kraut: "echo char_of_sysrq_command > /proc/sysrq-trigger" ?
[03:30] <TheMuso> is there a way of binding a particular PCi device to a kernel module? I will be looking at a PCI device that I think may be a serial device, but there is a good chance the kernel serial drivers don't know about it.
[05:07] <Nafallo> x86_64 generic isn't tickless?
[05:09] <mjg59> Correct
[05:10] <Nafallo> is there a reason? :-)
[05:13] <mjg59> Becuse x86_64 doesn't support tickless yet
[05:36] <Nafallo> hehe. clear enough.
[05:36] <Nafallo> I'll go with x86 then.
[06:07] <elmo> e1000: 0000:02:00.0: e1000_probe: The EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid
[06:07] <elmo> ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled
[06:07] <elmo> e1000: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -5
[06:08] <elmo> I just got that on a laptop, which I swear to god, was working 2 weeks ago
[06:08] <elmo> can someone please tell me, why on earth, we don't just kill that check with EXTREME prejudice
[06:08] <elmo> it's complete crack
[06:15] <Nafallo> I have a weird error on Tribe-4 x86 :-)
[06:15] <Nafallo> I have to keep control pressed in for the live to boot...
[06:18] <mjg59> Nafallo: Turion?
[06:18] <Nafallo> yes
[06:18] <mjg59> Should be fixed in git
[06:18] <Nafallo> TL50
[06:19] <Nafallo> thanks :-)
[06:19] <Nafallo> ah. it works once its graphical :-)
[06:22] <mjg59> Because there's plenty of stuff generating interrupts then
[06:56] <Nafallo> aha :-)
[06:57] <Nafallo> I hope it's a new one soon then :-P
[07:00] <Nafallo> hmm. I can't boot at all from harddrive :-P
[07:05] <Nafallo> hehe. funny bug :-)
[07:09] <BenC> Nafallo: "nolapic_timer nohz=off"
[07:12] <Nafallo> BenC: thanks. any idea when you upload the fix? :-)
[07:13] <BenC> Nafallo: sometime before the next tribe :)
[07:13] <Nafallo> :-P
[07:16] <BenC> kylem: ping
[07:16] <kylem> yo
[07:16] <BenC> elmo: I believe e1000 has an mod param to ignore that
[07:17] <BenC> kylem: since I'll be gone next week, I'll need to hand over gutsy kernel to you during that time
[07:17] <mjg59> elmo: It's a bug - it's reading the eeprom before it's completely powered up the chip
[07:17] <kylem> BenC, yeah, that's fine.
[07:17] <elmo> BenC: users shouldn't have to twiddle mod params to get their wired network working though
[07:17] <mjg59> elmo: Try booting with the ethernet plugged in
[07:17] <kylem> elmo, can you test kernels on that box?
[07:17] <BenC> kylem: you can still reach me if you need to via email, but I don't suspect you'll have a problem
[07:17] <mjg59> Intel have known about this for over a year
[07:17] <elmo> mjg59: ok - but until that's fixed, can we just turn it off? :/
[07:18] <elmo> kylem: not that specific laptop, the owner just left for 2 weeks
[07:18] <kylem> BenC, it'll be fine, though i'll be off friday, so i'll make sure stuff gets done by then.
[07:18] <mjg59> elmo: I suspect that would be the sensible thing to do
[07:18] <kylem> elmo, fuck. ok.
[07:18] <BenC> kylem: thanks
[07:18] <kylem> elmo, i suspect it is fixed.
[09:00] <Mmike> Where do I find help on 2.6.22 kernel compilation with fiesty? I downloaded kernel src from kernel.org (2.6.22), got .config from gutsy, make oldconfig, make-kpkg, and got .deb that is 140 MB large... that's a bit too much, right? :)
[09:02] <mjg59> Disable CONFIG_KALLSYMS_ALL
[09:04] <Mmike> thnx, i'll try
[09:06] <Mmike> I tought I did disable that :) thnx
[09:36] <Nafallo> lamont: that will make that version come quicker I hope ;-)
[09:41] <BenC> mjg59: actually, it's CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
[09:54] <lamont> Nafallo: given that I successfully built -9.25hppa1 with that config, the (non-LP as yet for other reasons) hppa archive is happy.
[09:54] <lamont> which is to say, I'd like to see -9.26 soonish, just so that I can work through getting d-i and such built.
[09:55] <lamont> Plan is to light up hppa in LP real soon now.  (there's a little java debugging to do)
[09:55] <lamont> that also requires a small (arch/parisc) kernel patch to let gdb build, so that the gcj folks can have a working debugger.
[09:56] <Nafallo> :-)
[09:59] <mjg59> BenC: Ah, close :)
