[01:00] <Le-Chuck_ITA> Hi all, I want to draw your attention to the following bug, which has been "quickfixed" by a clever guy who found out a line to comment out, but requires kernel developers attention to be sure it's a good fix. It's a regression from feisty, and since in gutsy for the first time suspend to disk and to ram work flawlessly on toshiba laptops with dual core enabled, I supppose it is worth a look. Bug is:

[01:01] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 152187 in linux-source-2.6.22 "Serial Wacom tablet fails to return from ACPI suspend to RAM" [Undecided,Confirmed] 
[01:02] <Le-Chuck_ITA> I hope somebody sees this, and thanks a lot.
[07:42] <tjaalton> I've got frequent crashes with dapper on a HP DL380G5, and I've got a call trace that starts from bnx2_poll
[07:42] <tjaalton> that would suggest that there's a bug in the broadcom driver?
[07:43] <tjaalton> (I took a photo of the trace)
[07:44] <tjaalton> I found this while searching for similar issues http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2103
[11:53] <tjaalton> please see bug 75767, I've confirmed that one. seems similar enough to mine
[11:53] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 75767 in linux-source-2.6.15 "kernel panic: killing interrupt handler" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/75767
[12:49] <andres> If I have made a kernel bugreport including a patch which is accepted upstream which fixes crashes and datacorruption, is there anything more I can do? (2.6.22 xen)
[13:13] <andres> (#164904 btw)
[13:19] <Kano> could some add a little patch for aufs?
[13:19] <Kano> patch/sec_perm-2.6.24.patch from aufs cvs
[13:20] <Kano> +EXPORT_SYMBOL(security_inode_permission);
[13:20] <Kano> mainly
[13:23] <Kano> http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/kernel-update-pack-generic-future-pure/source/sec_perm-2.6.24.patch
[13:25] <Kano> also i need one file more in the headers: 
[13:25] <Kano> fs/aufs/Makefile:tmpfs = $(shell grep '\#.*define.*TMPFS_MAGIC' ${srctree}/mm/shmem.c | \
[13:25] <Kano> so i need mm/shmem.c
[13:26] <abogani> Kano: Please use the right way: Clone hardy git repo, apply the patch, test resultant kernel, formatting patch as reported at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide  and send a patch to kernel-team ml. 
[13:26] <Kano> thats the original patch from aufs cvs
[13:26] <Kano> i would suggest to switch to aufs - unionfs is not working from lum
[13:27] <Kano> maybe the same issue,dont know
[13:28] <Kano> [ 4814.465576] aufs: Unknown symbol security_inode_permission
[13:28] <Kano> [ 5954.937595] unionfs: Unknown symbol security_file_ioctl
[13:28] <Kano> [ 5954.937662] unionfs: Unknown symbol security_inode_permission
[13:28] <Kano> it seems it is the same issue, just that unionfs needs even a 2nd export
[13:29] <abogani> andres: Depend from intrusive level of the patch and from type of bug which it resolve. Generally if the bug not meet https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates requirements is very difficult that the patch will be accepted.
[13:29] <Kano> so you need to add even 2 export statements...
[13:29] <Kano> i do not need to send anything, if you want a working unionfs...
[13:29] <andres> abogani: As I said, it causes, sometimes silent, data corruption. Has very little impact, is accepted upstream, only affects xen kernels.
[13:30] <andres> Its the xfs not using vunmap() issue.
[13:31] <andres> And is very hard to diagnose as the backtraces are quite random, as it can happen at every place where vmap's are used.
[13:31] <andres> abogani: so I dont see why it shouldnt adhere to the stable release guidelines.
[13:34] <andres> abogani: May I nominate it for some release, or should that only be done by ubuntu devs?
[13:36] <abogani> andres: You should send email to kernel-team ml.
[13:36] <andres> Ok.
[13:58] <Kano> what file to patch for the headers?
[13:58] <Kano> i dont get it currently where to write the extra files
[14:20] <andres_f> abogani: done
[14:22] <andres_f> Ugh. The mailing list is moderated.
[14:22] <andres_f> Do you moderate the lists regulary, or should I subscribe and repost?
[14:22] <Kano> !24
[14:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 24 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:22] <Kano> updated
[17:58] <andres> Is it planned to activate paravirt_ops in 2.6.24-generic by default?
[17:58] <andres> I think some distros are planning that and it is quite convienient.
[17:58] <andres> (and afaik the overhead is marginal)
[20:25] <sommer> hey, all I'm documenting the differences between the server and desktop editions and I just wanted to confirm this article is accurate?
[20:25] <sommer> http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/netos/article.php/3710641
[20:26] <sommer> basically just comaring /boot/config-version between a server and desktop install
[20:26] <sommer> comparing rather
[20:26] <ivoks> right, those are the differences
[20:27] <sommer> ivoks: cool I figured, but thought I'd double check
