ograBenC, hey, could it be that linuc-ubuntu-modules is a bit out of sync ? seems people using ltsp with unionfs/squashfs/nbd setup are seeing a lot of unionfs noise in the dmesg outputs since the swithc from 2.6.22-10 to -1102:00
=== ivoks_ [n=ivoks@4-229.dsl.iskon.hr] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
mjg59ogra: unionfs is currently broken02:05
ograyeah, ltsp users are moaning :)02:05
ogramjg59, thanks for the info 02:05
sorenAFAIUI the netconsole stuff in the kernel is only one-way. It's only good for spewing kernel output and such to a remote host.. Is there a more full featured mechanism for setting up a "real" networked console (if the hardware doesn't have it built in, obviously)?02:20
BenCogra: everyone is moaning :)02:24

\shs/enabled/enabling/02:40
BenC\sh: it's not modular02:41
\shBenC, right ;) so it's enabled by default?02:43
BenCno, not on i38602:44
\shBenC, but on amd64...that's whats more important ;)02:44
BenConly on sparc and powerpc02:44
\shBenC, I filed a but about it on amd64...this is important for java devs on x86_64 ...02:45

\shBenC, using my self made 2.6.22.2 it's working perfectly...and when it's enabled via kernel paramenters (sysctl.conf) it works more perfectly..but it's not needed by default, only when you use this feature02:50
BenCrtg: rebooting in a sec to test the new iwlwifi03:20
rtgBig fire yesterday afternoon, my mirror isn't up to date. No power until this morning.03:21
BenCrtg: fire at your place?03:21

rtgSo, lum and kernel et al are in the archive?03:23
BenCrtg: kernel is, I'm giving pkl some time to fix unionfs before we do lum03:23

ograon a minimally local install on the classmate ... tested on the weekend 03:25
rtgogra: I have a CMPC. Do you have directions and/or an image somewhere? I can test WPA.03:26
JanCaren't all those rt* bugs concurrency issues, so not always reproducable ?   ;)03:26
ogrartg, i dont have any gutsy image yet ... mdz moaned about my decision to take a squashfs image for that thing, i'm waiting on a meeting for a proper decision03:27

BenConly thing I've done is connect via WEP03:32
rtgIf it compiles, ship it :)03:32
rtgBenC: you won't forget debian/control-scripts/* will you?03:36
rtgSeeing activity on the DKMS bug reminded me.03:37
BenCrtg: err, I did forget03:37
BenCI'll work on that today and get an upload out tomorrow for it03:37
rtgIts important.03:37
BenCyeah, critical in fact03:37
zulhow is the dkms revu coming in universe coming?03:38

ubotuLaunchpad bug 121676 in ubuntu "add DKMS to Ubuntu" [Wishlist,Incomplete]  03:38
zulwell if it needs a uvf for universe let me know since im on the uvf team i can get it rammed through03:39
BenCrtg: interestingly enough, I seem to be getting 85% signal now instead of ~75% like I was before03:40
rtgBenC: The real indicator is 'at what bit rate does it run?' and  'with how many retries?'. Ultimately throughput is the goal. Signal level can be quite misleading.03:41

BenCscp doesn't report mbits :)03:43
rtgBenC: Thats not too bad. Is it better then before?03:44
BenCconnected at 54g03:44
BenCrtg: before was about 1.8M/sec03:44
BenCrtg: so far, no invalid packets reported in iwconfig03:45
rtgBenC: You should set up a loop and run some sustained bulk transfers. Maybe we can close the hiccup bug.03:45
rtgBenC: I'll do the same.03:45
BenCrtg: and more importantly, my dmesg isn't being flooded with operational messages :)03:45
rtgBenC: sounds like 2 steps forward. 03:46
BenCrtg: only problem so far is the lack of wifi led03:47
BenCI need to see what I can do to make ieee80211_led.c compile in this new mac8021103:47
BenCit was expecting some new led interfaces in the kernel I think03:48
rtgI think it was a config option. I might not have turned it on.03:48
BenCI tried enabling it, but the compile failed03:48
rtgBenC: The iwlwifi pile is  backport from 2.6.23-rc*, so it might not compile.03:49
zulanyone got an opinon on bug 13988104:33

mjg59It would be nice if someone would actually get it into a state where it'll be accepted upstream04:34
BenCzul: Yeah, the patch is useless without userspace to support it04:35
mjg59BenC: There's userspace in the archive04:36
BenCmjg59: ah, last I heard it wasn't there04:36
BenCmjg59: but I also remember that the patch is pretty intrusive04:36

afshi! I'm trying to compile qemu but it can't find /usr/include/linux/compiler.h. This include file belongs to package linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic, but ends up in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.20-16-generic/include/linux/compiler.h. Is this normal behaviour?05:19
sorenafs: It's an empty file, IIRC? Could you check that?05:21
BenCafs: add -I/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` to your CFLAGS in qemu05:22
afstried that, didn't work (suspect that's a qemu bug)05:22
afs/usr/include/linuxcompiler.h is not an empty file on debian05:24
rtgBenC: have a look at the changelog for iwlwifi 0.1.16. I'm testing his updates. It might fix an iwl3945 RF kill issue.05:28
sorendo any of our kernel flavours have HZ=1000? 05:33

=== Lure [n=lure@89-212-18-142.dynamic.dsl.t-2.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCsoren: HZ= doesn't make sens with our stock kernel, because it has dynticks06:07
JanChm, on all architectures?06:08
mjg59BenC: My understanding is that it still affects the base timer granularity06:08
mjg59HZ=1000 on i386 would make sense06:09
BenCwe got too many complaints about battery usage when we did that06:09
BenCand we have quite a few laptop models that fall into the AMD broken ioapic timer category06:09
mjg59Yes, but dynticks avoids that being an issue06:09
mjg59When the system is idle, you still get the power savings06:10
Nafallomjg59: my acer died ;-)06:10
mjg59And when it's active, it's no worse06:10
Nafallomjg59: just thought you might want to know ;-)06:10
mjg59Nafallo: I'm shocked06:10
Nafallohehe06:10
=== Keybuk [i=scott@nat/canonical/x-1ce0c73add6f6512] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCmjg59: but the broken ioapic timer's don't get nohz, so they'll suffer06:11
NafalloI've ordered a Dell D630 again :-P06:11
mjg59BenC: Uh. That shouldn't be the case.06:11
mjg59BenC: Lacking the apic timer isn't a blocker to nohz06:11
BenCmjg59: on the amd laptop I have, I had to add nolapic_timer nohz=on to get it to boot06:12
BenCI meant lapic timer06:12
mjg59Then there's a bug somewhere06:12
BenCnohz doesn't like not having lapic timer06:12
=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
mjg59BenC: I think limiting functionality in the name of providing a small increase in battery life on broken hardware is less than ideal06:14
mjg59But I was also under the impression that the turion issue had been fixed without the need to disable the lapic timer (the issue was that the code was incorrectly thinking that the timer continued in C2, which it didn't)06:15
BenCmaybe I misunderstood the patch then06:16
BenCI can't tell if dynticks is enabled or not...is there a file in sysfs that will show that?06:16
mjg59Not sure06:17
mjg59You can work it out from /proc/timer_list, I think06:17
BenCthere's a nohz_mode...guess I can check the expected values for that06:18
