lamontBenC: 121978... does a -updates upload of lrm make sense for that?18:12
BenClamont: yeah18:13
lamontBenC: want me to do it?18:13
BenClamont: sure18:13
lamontand is there anything else that should go in?18:14
BenClamont: for lrm, there's a bug about invisible files not getting removed in nvidia-glx packages18:19
BenCBug #10621718:20
ubotuLaunchpad bug 106217 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.20 "Hidden file does not get removed when switching from nvidia-glx-new/nvidia-glx-legacy to nvidia-glx causing X not to start due to mismatch of versions" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/10621718:20
BenCthere's a patch18:20
lamontrock18:20
lamontapplying provided patches is about my effort level today18:21
lamontBenC: the one that went to the kernel team last week?18:23
BenClamont: that bug report has a patch to fix the hidden files remaining18:25
lamontright18:28
* lamont notes in passing that his definition of "test" for this lrm upload consists of making sure it compiles on gutsy/i38618:35
zulsounds about right :)18:36
* lamont then needs to debug his laptops video regression with gutsy18:38

zasfhi all19:11
zasfI'd like to build latest fglrx driver19:11
zasfbut (like every time) I have to fight with the kernel headers19:11
zasfit says that the UTS release doesn't match current version: 2.6.22.919:12
zasfin gutsy19:12
zasfwhy that? should kernel version be 2.6.22-14-generic?19:12
zasfshould NOT kernel version be 2.6.22-14-generic?19:12
Lutinkylem or BenC : would you mind having a look at bug #129910 please ?19:21
ubotuLaunchpad bug 129910 in linux-source-2.6.22 "tty[1-6] are active but display nothing in Gutsy" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/12991019:21
BenCzasf: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic19:21
zasfBenC: I have that installed19:22
BenCLutin: I don't have time to look at it yet19:22
LutinBenC: ok19:22
BenCzasf: then you have some local problem, or fglrx has a broken build setup19:22
BenCzasf: maybe force the kernel directory somehow19:23
BenCShould point to /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic19:23
BenCzasf: are you building an old fglrx?19:23
BenCzasf: and why not use the one we include?19:23
Lutin(this bug is mistakenly shown as new, it's set as critical on initramfs-tools)19:23
zasfbecause 8.42.3 brings aiglx support :D19:24
zasfIt could be my fault, but I make-kpkg modules_image doesn't work19:24
maks_Lutin: 129910 is a .config story19:24
zasfThe UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h19:24
zasf     "2.6.22-14-generic" 19:24
zasfdoes not match current version:19:24
zasf     "2.6.22.9" 19:24
BenChow does it get 2.6.22.9 as the current version?19:25
zasfI just remove the package and reinstalled it (linxu-headers-generic)19:25
BenCzasf: what does "uname -a" show?19:25
zasf# uname -a19:25
zasfLinux gutsy 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux19:25
Lutinmaks_: don't catch why :/19:25
maks_Lutin: fb not build modular, BenC had been asked to revert that change irc19:26
zasfthat happened before in feisty and edgy. I always have to do a combination of 'make-kpkg debian', make scripts, etc to get it working19:26
zasfand editing include/linux/version.h19:27
BenCmaks_: s/revert/re-apply our local patch/19:27
zasfI like installing kernel modules with "make-kpkg modules_image" and not using mod-ass19:27
BenCmaks_: stock kernel doesn't let you build vga16fb modular19:27
maks_/boot/config-2.6.23-rc9-amd64:CONFIG_FB_VGA16=m19:28
Lutinmaks_: it's modular. the issue is that it's not in /lib/modules/whatever/initrd and that the modprobe option used to load the modules in the initrd scripts is different, from what I've read19:28
Lutins/initrd/initramfs-tools/219:28
BenCmaks_: maybe it's vesafb that can't be modular then19:28
BenCone of them we've been patching forever and a day19:28
maks_yes we kicked the b0rked Xu vesafb patch :P19:31
* Lutin doesn't understand if what happens to the fb in gutsy is wanted or not19:34
maks_Lutin my logs have this19:39
maks_21:22 <Lutin> maks_: yeah, but here is the point :) in ubuntu the scripts for an19:39
maks_y *fb) module. which can't be found, as the framebuffer is not a module in gutsy19:39
maks_ :)21:22 <mjg59> Because somebody changed the config for no obvious reason19:39
maks_21:23 <mjg59> BenC: I thought you were changing that back? :)19:39
maks_#ubuntu-kernel.2007-09-28.log19:39
mjg59Yes, that was supposed to get changed back19:41
Lutinmaks_: well now that's module, but stilln vesafb and fbcon aren't in /lib/modules/whatever/initrd , which still causes them not to be loaded, unless I'm mistaken19:44
BenCmjg59: yeah, rtg got the modular patch back in19:45
maks_check /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kernelextras19:45
maks_Lutin also update-initramfs has a "-v" switch19:45
maks_tells you exactly whats added to initramfs19:46
Lutinmaks_: it tells me it doesn't load it in the initrd19:47
maks_well then this hook is faulty19:51
Lutinmaks_: not sure ... ${MODULESDIR}/initrd/* refers to /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/initrd, right ?19:54
maks_Lutin have not the ubuntu hook under the eyes, but below there should be other stuff19:55
Lutinmaks_: after that there's a case which loads some extra modules, depending on the content of ${MODULESDIR}/initrd/19:57
Lutinhence my question :)19:58
imbrandonBenC, what is the policy about adding FS's to linux-backport-modules , as the name implied i assume it can be done post release ...19:58
zasfthere must be something wrong in debian/ruleset/modules.mk, since it keeps saying that I have 2.6.22.919:59
BenCimbrandon: generally that package isn't for adding things, it's mainly for updating hardware drivers19:59
* Nafallo wants to shrink an xfs :-/20:00
BenCimbrandon: what fs are you talking about?20:00
zulfatx probably20:00
imbrandonfatx , i have been working with zul to get the patches right, its being looked at upstream and fedora has it20:00
Nafallohehe. imbrandon wants xbox format still ;-)20:00
imbrandonNafallo, well thanks to zul we got it working ;)20:01
zulBenC: ive added the patch to linux-ubuntu-modules but not backport20:01
Nafalloboxbuntu :-P20:01
imbrandonBenC, if not thats cool, i can deal with just trying to get it in for hardy20:01
imbrandoni was just wondering 20:01
Lutinmaks_: yep, that's it. comes from fbcon and vesafb not being in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/initrd20:02
BenCimbrandon: oh, we can get it in for hardy in linux-ubuntu-modules (backports-modules is for post-release updates that are too intrusive for linux-source/lum)20:03
zulBenC: ill send a patch tonight then20:03
imbrandonahh sounds great, i was just hopeing ;) i'll keep poking zul then and we'll just target hardy20:03
* zul is swiss cheese20:04
imbrandonzul, btw i'll leave that .img file up too incase someone wants to test it without an xbox20:04
imbrandonat the same url20:04
zulsure20:04
imbrandoni was looking too fatx is VERY similar to fat3220:05
imbrandonlol20:05
imbrandonto bad it couldent have "just worked"(tm)20:05
JordiRhello21:55
JordiRcan somebody tell how can I blacklist a restricted driver?21:55
JordiRI mean, to not be loaded on boot time21:55
JordiRwhat is the file that I need to modify?21:56
JordiRNobody knows it?22:04
Lutin/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-* ?22:06
Lutin(don't know, just guessing)22:06
JordiRI've found it googling it's /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common 22:08
JordiRThanks anyway22:08
tonyyarussoHi, I was wondering if someone could please give an answer regarding a) The reasoning behind the changes that caused, and b) The most "proper" way to go about fixing Bug #129910.  (I'd be very grateful to the person who gives me my consoles back...)23:47

tonyyarusso(Note the _17_ duplicates too)23:47
Lutintonyyarusso: asked the channel before, got no real answer. although the causes of the bug are well known, there doesn't to be a hurry about fixing that bug23:51
tonyyarussoLutin: :(23:51
tonyyarussoWell, I'll wait and see what I can learn for now at least.23:52
LutinI'd be happy to work on a patch if needed, and even more to get a real answer. the fact that it got no answer while being set as critical for a month is quite disappointing23:53
mjg59Remove vga= from your kernel command line23:53
tonyyarussomjg59: That results in a completely unusable console resolution.23:55
Lutinmjg59: or fox on you system, I know. what I don't get is why no one in the team even bothered answering to the bug. if you don't want to support fb, I can't get why don't you tell it and close the bug23:55
Lutinfix*23:55
tonyyarussomjg59: It works for an occasional cp or whatever, but trying to run irssi or anything else meaningful is a lost cause.23:56
