seb129hi13:43
seb129I've issue with dapper being very slow to boot on a recent enough computer (PIV 2.4GHz), each boot line is taking some seconds, everything is very slow from the initramfs first line to the distro use13:44
seb129debian does the same on the box, windows works correctly13:44
seb129does anybody has an idea on any workaround or something I could try to get it working? Using acpi=off or noapic options make no difference13:45
mjg59seb129: How much RAM?13:45
seb12951213:47
mjg59Hm.13:47
mjg59Sorry, no idea in that case13:48
seb129that's slow from the start of the boot13:49
seb129"checking if image is initramfs" takes over 10s for example13:50
seb129when booting in debug mode from the grub entry the load is around 2.5 after the boot13:53
seb129and that's standard command line mode without anything special running13:53
=== \sh_away is now known as \sh
maks_seb128: you are not seb129 ?14:37
seb128maks_: I'm back to my desktop14:38
seb128but yes that was me14:38
maks_ok i've once seen that14:38
seb128connecting from somewhere else14:38
seb128ah?14:38
maks_it was due to non matching ram14:38
seb128non matching?14:39
maks_stock kernel or debian kernel but shouldn't matter14:39
maks_seb128: yes 2 modules that were from different type14:40
maks_put one out and everything was fine14:40
seb128ok, thanks14:40
seb128will try that14:41
maks_seb128: i rember top giving an incredible 0.2 load on that box14:41
seb128what is weird is that windows is running normally on the box, shouldn't this sort of issue impact on any OS installed?14:41
maks_:)14:41
maks_afair that box worked fine on 2.414:41
maks_but any 2.6 would be trouble14:42
seb128ok, thanks for the hint14:42
wiphi people15:52
wipi have a issue with the RT kernel15:52
wipmadwifi cannot compile15:52
wipthe option of the kernel for the wireless is not setup correctly15:53
wipno problem with the generic kernel15:53
wipwhat's next? how long it will take to release a new RT with this option enable?15:53
* amitk points at abogani for -rt work, but he is not online15:53
_MMA_wip: I believe theis is a known bug. Im looking now.15:54
_MMA_*this15:54
wip_MMA_: oh no. i really don't want to compile my kernel15:55
wip_MMA_: when i was young and so motivated i was compiling every week :)15:55
pittihi guys15:55
* _MMA_ waves.15:56
amitkhi pitti15:56
pittiBenC: how difficult would it be to add a kernel patch that disables ptrace()/LD_PRELOAD if a particular bit in the executable's ELF header is set? (i. e. what the kernel automatically does for set{g,u}id binaries)15:57
pittihey amitk15:57
pittiBenC: calling prctrl(SET_DUMPABLE, 0) from within the app doesn't work, because it's a race condition15:57
BenCpitti: does this patch exist, or will we need to write it?15:57
pittiBenC: I don't know of an existing patch15:58
henrixwip: it seems that this is reported on Bug #13066515:58
ubotuLaunchpad bug 130665 in linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 "madwifi fails to load: ath_pci: Unknown symbol _ath_hal_attach" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/13066515:58
pittiBenC: I'm not saying that we need to write it, just asking how much effort that would take15:58
BenCpitti: and is this elf header bit defined somewhere, or are we making something up that may end up conflicting elsewhere?15:58
pittiBenC: that needs to be defined with upstream, etc.15:58
pittiBenC: right, we shouldn't make up something ubuntu specific; but let's just pretend we would have a defined field15:59
wiphenrix: since i installed gutsy, the rt package did not updated once. is there a time frame for releasing the rt-kernel?15:59
wiphenrix: it's just a matter of enabling wireless option in the kernel15:59
_MMA_wip: abogani will be the guy to talk to. He might be back on later.16:01
henrixwip: the bug report refers that you just need to built madwifi modules yourself. no kernel recompilation. about new release... don't know. you need to ask abogani16:01
* wip noted16:01
wiphenrix: weird, the compilation on RT failed, saying that the kernel doesn't have the wireless options enable16:02
wiphenrix: no problem on generic kernel16:02
henrixwip: sorry, I can not help you further :( your sure you have the latest linux rt image?16:03
henrixwip: 2.6.22.14.21, I believe...16:04
pittiBenC: according to elf(5) there is a field uint32 e_flags which could be used for that (no defined flags so far)16:08
pittiBenC: that should be discussed upstream16:08
wiphenrix: yes. the message when compiling madwifi in RT is: Please enable wireless extensions.16:08
BenCpitti: ok, sounds easy at first glance16:08
pittiBenC: I just wonder how much code it would take to call the same dumpable protection that's used for suid binaries for ones with that flag16:09
wiphenrix: v14+ required, v17+ recommended; option CONFIG_NET_RADIO (kernel 2.6.22 and later: CONFIG_WLAN_80211)16:10
pittiBenC: is lkml free to post for anyone, or do I need to subscribe?16:10
BenCpitti: it's wide open16:10
pittiBenC: cool, thanks; I'll give it a shot then16:10
maks_pitti http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-taboos.txt16:10
maks_:)16:10
pittiheh16:11
henrixwip: hmm... I just checked and -rt kernel does have CONFIG_WLAN_80211 configured as a module16:12
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
wiphenrix: thanks for taking the time16:12
henrixwip: sorry for not being that useful :(16:13
wiphenrix: do you have 1 min to check other requirements16:13
henrixwip: correction: it has CONFIG_WLAN_80211 built-in, not as a module16:13
wiphenrix: i guess it's okay, cause: No module versioning support - option CONFIG_MODVERSIONS16:14
wiphenrix: Wireless Extensions support in kernel16:14
wiphenrix: can you check for thoses:16:14
wiphenrix: option CONFIG_SYSCTL16:14
wiphenrix: option CONFIG_CRYPTO16:14
pittiBenC: ok to CC: you?16:14
wiphenrix: option CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC16:14
wiphenrix: option CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES16:14
wiphenrix: many things... sorry16:15
henrixwip: if you have the -rt image installed, you can just grep your file /boot/config-2.6.22-14-rt ;)16:15
BenCpitti: yes, please16:15
wiphenrix: excellent thanks!16:16
henrixwip: CONFIG_SYSCTL=y; CONFIG_CRYPTO=y; CONFIG_CRYPTO_HMAC=y; CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES=m16:16

wiphenrix, _MMA_: problem fixed! i had to use the very last svn version17:59
wipit compile fine and the wireless is now fully working17:59
_MMA_wip: I see. Thanx for the FYI.17:59
henrixwip: great ;)17:59

zenroxok i have a quick question23:55
zenroxi built a kernel out of the hardy's git repo23:55
zenroxbuilt just fine23:55
zenroxinstalled fine23:56
zenroxbut when i boot up i cant get it to reconize the nvidia module i built agenst it23:56
zenroxam i missing something23:56
Kanoi guess teh restricted modules are making problems23:57
zenroxnever made the restricted modules23:57
zenroxbut made the linux-ubuntu-modules23:58
Kanowell i would uninstall everything with restricted, i hate that package ;)23:58
zenroxi agree23:58
zenroxbut i built the nvidia sepratly23:58
zenroxtried modprobing it and i get error inserting module23:58
