[02:00] <ogra> BenC, 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 -11

[02:05] <ogra> mjg59, thanks for the info 
[02:20] <soren> AFAIUI 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)?

[03:20] <BenC> rtg: rebooting in a sec to test the new iwlwifi
[03:21] <rtg> Big fire yesterday afternoon, my mirror isn't up to date. No power until this morning.
[03:21] <BenC> rtg: fire at your place?
[03:22] <rtg> No, downwind a few hundred yards.
[03:22] <rtg> Burnt up some power lines.

[03:22] <BenC> rtg: nasty
[03:23] <ogra> rtg, hey, mn works fine with WEP and the rt73 driver in gutsy (have no WPA networks here so i only can test WEP and unencrypted)
[03:23] <ogra> s/mn/nm/
[03:23] <rtg> So, lum and kernel et al are in the archive?
[03:23] <BenC> rtg: kernel is, I'm giving pkl some time to fix unionfs before we do lum
[03:24] <rtg> ogra: rt73 works? I'm amazed.
[03:24] <BenC> so am I
[03:24] <BenC> ogra: works with n-m too?
[03:24] <ogra> yep
[03:25] <mjg59> acx100 seems to have broken again for some reason
[03:25] <mjg59> I managed to lose my hardware for that, which is a pain
[03:25] <ogra> on a minimally local install on the classmate ... tested on the weekend

[03:26] <JanC> aren't all those rt* bugs concurrency issues, so not always reproducable ?   ;)

[03:37] <BenC> I'll work on that today and get an upload out tomorrow for it
[03:37] <rtg> Its important.

[03:40] <BenC> rtg: interestingly enough, I seem to be getting 85% signal now instead of ~75% like I was before
[03:41] <rtg> BenC: 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.

[03:45] <BenC> rtg: so far, no invalid packets reported in iwconfig
[03:45] <rtg> BenC: You should set up a loop and run some sustained bulk transfers. Maybe we can close the hiccup bug.
[03:45] <rtg> BenC: I'll do the same.
[03:45] <BenC> rtg: and more importantly, my dmesg isn't being flooded with operational messages :)
[03:46] <rtg> BenC: sounds like 2 steps forward. 
[03:47] <BenC> rtg: only problem so far is the lack of wifi led
[03:47] <BenC> I need to see what I can do to make ieee80211_led.c compile in this new mac80211
[03:48] <BenC> it was expecting some new led interfaces in the kernel I think
[03:48] <rtg> I think it was a config option. I might not have turned it on.
[03:48] <BenC> I tried enabling it, but the compile failed
[03:49] <rtg> BenC: The iwlwifi pile is  backport from 2.6.23-rc*, so it might not compile.

[05:19] <afs> hi! 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?
[05:21] <soren> afs: It's an empty file, IIRC? Could you check that?
[05:22] <BenC> afs: add -I/usr/src/linux-headers-`uname -r` to your CFLAGS in qemu
[05:22] <afs> tried that, didn't work (suspect that's a qemu bug)
[05:24] <afs> /usr/include/linuxcompiler.h is not an empty file on debian
[05:28] <rtg> BenC: have a look at the changelog for iwlwifi 0.1.16. I'm testing his updates. It might fix an iwl3945 RF kill issue.
[05:33] <soren> do any of our kernel flavours have HZ=1000?

=== Lure [n=lure@89-212-18-142.dynamic.dsl.t-2.net]  has joined #ubuntu-kernel
[06:07] <BenC> soren: HZ= doesn't make sens with our stock kernel, because it has dynticks
[06:08] <JanC> hm, on all architectures?
[06:08] <mjg59> BenC: My understanding is that it still affects the base timer granularity
[06:09] <mjg59> HZ=1000 on i386 would make sense
[06:09] <BenC> we got too many complaints about battery usage when we did that
[06:09] <BenC> and we have quite a few laptop models that fall into the AMD broken ioapic timer category
[06:09] <mjg59> Yes, but dynticks avoids that being an issue
[06:10] <mjg59> When the system is idle, you still get the power savings
[06:10] <Nafallo> mjg59: my acer died ;-)
[06:10] <mjg59> And when it's active, it's no worse
[06:10] <Nafallo> mjg59: just thought you might want to know ;-)
[06:10] <mjg59> Nafallo: I'm shocked
[06:10] <Nafallo> hehe
=== Keybuk [i=scott@nat/canonical/x-1ce0c73add6f6512]  has joined #ubuntu-kernel
[06:11] <BenC> mjg59: but the broken ioapic timer's don't get nohz, so they'll suffer
[06:11] <Nafallo> I've ordered a Dell D630 again :-P
[06:11] <mjg59> BenC: Uh. That shouldn't be the case.
[06:11] <mjg59> BenC: Lacking the apic timer isn't a blocker to nohz
[06:12] <BenC> mjg59: on the amd laptop I have, I had to add nolapic_timer nohz=on to get it to boot
[06:12] <BenC> I meant lapic timer
[06:12] <mjg59> Then there's a bug somewhere
[06:12] <BenC> nohz doesn't like not having lapic timer
=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak]  has joined #ubuntu-kernel
[06:14] <mjg59> BenC: I think limiting functionality in the name of providing a small increase in battery life on broken hardware is less than ideal
[06:15] <mjg59> But 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)
[06:16] <BenC> maybe I misunderstood the patch then
[06:16] <BenC> I can't tell if dynticks is enabled or not...is there a file in sysfs that will show that?
[06:17] <mjg59> Not sure
[06:17] <mjg59> You can work it out from /proc/timer_list, I think
[06:18] <BenC> there's a nohz_mode...guess I can check the expected values for that
