| Kano | same for prism54 as p54pci has same ids | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| Kano | remove those from prism54 | 00:39 |
| Kano | very unlikely that a card will work when 2 drivers are loaded | 00:40 |
| mjg59 | Why? | 00:42 |
| mjg59 | Two drivers can't claim the same card | 00:42 |
| Kano | they do | 00:42 |
| Kano | in both cases | 00:42 |
| mjg59 | No. They don't. | 00:42 |
| Kano | of course | 00:42 |
| mjg59 | Really. They don't. | 00:42 |
| Kano | then buy glasses | 00:43 |
| mjg59 | No. It is impossible for two drivers to claim the same PCI device. | 00:43 |
| mjg59 | The kernel doesn't allow it | 00:43 |
| mjg59 | pci_enable_device() will fail | 00:43 |
| Kano | so which driver do you think will udev load | 00:43 |
| Kano | i would say the wrong one | 00:43 |
| mjg59 | It's arbitrary | 00:43 |
| mjg59 | It depends on the order of the inodes in /lib/modules | 00:44 |
| Kano | funny | 00:44 |
| Kano | why not make it deterministic by removing pciids like you did for ipw3945 | 00:44 |
| mjg59 | That's a perfectly reasonable request | 00:45 |
| Kano | my card only works with p54pci so remove it from prism54 | 00:45 |
| mjg59 | There are some cards with that PCI ID that work better with prism54 | 00:46 |
| Kano | also i would say that b43 - loaded via ssb should be used now and pciids removed from bcm43xx | 00:46 |
| mjg59 | I'd agree | 00:46 |
| Kano | softmac are more common today | 00:46 |
| Kano | and p54pci supports those | 00:47 |
| Kano | as far as i know did prism54 not even support wpa | 00:47 |
| mjg59 | Thanks, Kano | 00:47 |
| Kano | prism54 is really outdated | 00:48 |
| Kano | also i build the new 5 kernel without those ipw39/49 drivers. but it dont see em in lum yet | 00:49 |
| amitk | Have you considered sending in a patch to remove the pciids? To kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com and LKML... | 00:50 |
| Kano | thats something i can not do | 00:50 |
| amitk | Because? | 00:51 |
| Kano | i do not write kernel patches, the max is that i seek for code to make a driver work with a new kernel | 00:51 |
| Kano | therefore i did not announce my own variant of the dmraid45 patch for 2.6.24, but i would suggest to use it as soon as one official one appears like i did not the 2.6.22 kernel - you find still my message in your list | 00:52 |
| amitk | Then you might be better served writing email to the above email address with the pciids you want removed and your reasons. Putting it on IRC on a Friday night is a hard way get this fixed. | 00:53 |
| Kano | all? | 00:53 |
| Kano | as they are the same | 00:53 |
| Kano | i think it is easy enough to verify this with modinfo | 00:53 |
| amitk | Put it in email so it does not get lost | 00:54 |
| Kano | http://www.nabble.com/please-add-dm-raid45-2.6.22.1-20070724.patch.bz2-p13426286.html | 00:54 |
| Kano | that was my mail last time | 00:54 |
| Kano | there is no final 2.6.24 out therefore no offical patch for it yet | 00:54 |
| Kano | but thats a needed one | 00:55 |
| Kano | otherwise only kanotix will be able to use raid5 | 00:55 |
| Kano | as i patch that always | 00:55 |
| amitk | Thanks, Kano | 00:55 |
| tjaalton | amitk: hey, are you working on lrm? | 00:56 |
| amitk | tjaalton: sure | 00:56 |
| Kano | amitk: additional to that patch you need updated dmraid | 00:57 |
| Kano | but i can provide you that too, thats not the problem | 00:57 |
| tjaalton | amitk: I sent an email to the list earlier this week (forgot the subject though) with a couple of fixes | 00:58 |
| amitk | tjaalton: for the nvidia? | 00:59 |
| tjaalton | amitk: that and the convenience package for fglrx-amdcccle | 01:00 |
| Kano | btw. as you like your lrm package so much: ati updated fglrx | 01:00 |
| tjaalton | we know | 01:00 |
| tjaalton | or, at least I do :) | 01:00 |
| tjaalton | the list of known issues is longer than the list of fixed ones.. | 01:00 |
| tjaalton | which is no news | 01:00 |
| Kano | i think only the widescreen bug was fixed not much more | 01:01 |
| tjaalton | partly | 01:01 |
| Kano | the most funny part was the modline fix mentioned in the release notes | 01:01 |
| amitk | tjaalton: This week has been overloaded. We'll get to processing all the patches next week | 01:01 |
| Kano | http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7427&page=2 | 01:01 |
| Kano | one more modelines -> fatal server error for me... | 01:02 |
| tjaalton | amitk: there are also some reports about not being able to uninstall nvidia*. I'd like to fix that too | 01:02 |
| tjaalton | seems to affect amd64 only | 01:02 |
| amitk | ok | 01:03 |
| * amitk calls it a day. Have a good weekend guys | 01:03 | |
| tjaalton | hehe | 01:03 |
| tjaalton | "look at the time fly" | 01:03 |
| tjaalton | sheesh | 01:03 |
| tjaalton | I'll work on lrm this weekend and then send a patch on the kernel list.. | 01:05 |
| Kano | tjaalton: do you need a fix for the avm drivers or did you find it on your own? | 02:02 |
| Kano | i mean the objcopy -L hack | 02:04 |
| Kano | from Karsten Keil <kkeil@suse.de> | 02:05 |
| mjg59 | Is it legal to distribute the modified binaries? | 02:06 |
| Kano | i see no problem, i even got the test hardware for free | 02:08 |
| Kano | nobody will hurt you | 02:09 |
| mjg59 | Yes, but what does the license say? | 02:09 |
| Kano | read it if you like to | 02:09 |
| mjg59 | You're the one offering the patch | 02:10 |
| Kano | you find it in my avm package | 02:11 |
| Kano | http://kanotix.com/files/thorhammer/kanotix/non-free/avm/avm_3.11-18.dsc | 02:11 |
| Kano | this also adds a the cz mod of one driver | 02:11 |
| Kano | if you want to add that to your repository be sure you have got drdsl for i386+amd64 in it | 02:13 |

| crimsun | yes | 19:17 |
| crimsun | I was just about to comment that CFS is "causing" that | 19:17 |
| blueyed | Ok. So all those "use idle cpu in the background" programs need to get patched to change the cpu_share value for their user to something like 2? | 19:51 |
| crimsun | it's a feasible approach, but it would need more testing | 19:56 |
| blueyed | I think it's cumbersome to change all those packages. To be more futureproof we might want to use cgroups instead and put those scripts in this group - to make it easier to just apply cpu_share=2 to all of them. | 19:59 |
| blueyed | btw: I don't think cfs is good in this regard: a totally niced process from another user should not hug the whole cpu slices assigned to this user. | 19:59 |
| blueyed | I've linked a patch in the lkml post, it may be worth testing, if it applies and makes sense (just skimmed it) | 20:01 |
