toyo|deskdo any of you in here know when bug #88746 will be patched?03:59
ubotuLaunchpad bug 88746 in linux-source-2.6.22 "ehci_hcd module causes I/O errors in USB 2.0 devices" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/8874603:59
ln-let me guess: no.04:04
toyo|desk???04:04
toyo|deskoh about my question?04:04
toyo|deskdont know thought it would be worth a shot to ask04:04
toyo|desk:P04:04
ln-yeah. but i'm only a civilian, i have nothing to do with ubuntu development.04:05
toyo|deskthis bug pretty much renders my external hdd useless04:05
toyo|deskas it "dies" randomly04:05
toyo|deskwhen xfering data04:05
* toyo|desk is half tempted to build his own kernel based off of gentoo or suse or anything that dosent have this issue04:07
toyo|desklol04:07
ln-why not switch to another distro altogether.04:08
toyo|deskbecause I like this one, I just dont like that I cant use my external drive04:08
toyo|desk:D04:09
toyo|deskI used to use gentoo for several years, but that was way too much work, I eventually decided that I wanted to spend time using my computer rather than fixing it04:10
ln-well gentoo is quite an extreme case in that sense.04:10
toyo|deskswitching from gentoo to kubuntu was like switching from an old punch card computer to OSX04:11
toyo|deskanyway I am sorta confused by this marking of denied for gutsy on this bug report04:14
toyo|desk Declined  for Gutsy  by Henrik Nilsen Omma  04:14
toyo|desknot sure what is up with that04:15
crimsuntoyo|desk: Ben gave a fairly sensible explanation in one of the comments.04:15

ubotuLaunchpad bug 88746 in linux-source-2.6.22 "ehci_hcd module causes I/O errors in USB 2.0 devices" [High,Confirmed] 04:17
toyo|deskthat comment?04:17
crimsuntoyo|desk: precisely.04:18
toyo|deskbut did they even figure out why it happens?04:19
toyo|deskrather than using workarounds04:19
toyo|deskor is this something that is slated to happen upstream at some point04:20
ln-even if the cause and fix was known, it doesn't mean the bug would be fixed.04:20
toyo|deskhmm yeah I wonder if a bug report exists on kernel.org for the same thing04:21
crimsunwell, there's an upstream bug.  See http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583504:22
ubotubugzilla.kernel.org bug 5835 in USB "High Speed USB devices don't work when ehci_hcd loaded, work if removed" [Normal,New] 04:22
crimsunthere seems to be a workaround there, too.04:22
crimsunBTW, just a hint from past experience:  if you really, really want a certain something, then clone ubuntu-hardy.git, make the change, get lots of tests and testimony, and /then/ ask for a pull.04:23
toyo|deskheh04:26
crimsunhave you tried David B.'s suggestion?04:27
toyo|deskfrom kernel.org or launchpad04:27
crimsunhttp://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5835#c7204:28
crimsun(the former)04:28

crimsunapologies for the URL spam.04:28
toyo|deskthe modprobe.conf workaround?04:29
toyo|deskno I havent but I should try it04:29
crimsunerr, please don't use /etc/modprobe.conf, however.04:30
crimsuni.e., echo options usb-storage delay_use=1|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/usb-storage   or thereabout04:30
toyo|deskshould I then reload the module04:32
crimsunyes.  I'm not certain whether it requires a cold power-cycle.04:32
toyo|desk:/04:32
toyo|deskhmm it seems to be working so far04:36
crimsunthere's also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8692, which I believe is more relevant to you.04:36
ubotubugzilla.kernel.org bug 8692 in USB "USB storage freeze" [Normal,Assigned] 04:36
toyo|deskattempting to xfer 8GB04:36
crimsuncomments #55 onward in the latter bugzilla entry are notable.04:37
toyo|deskugh I think that one is my true issue the other bugs may have added to it however04:38
toyo|deskand yes I do have a VIA chip as well04:39
toyo|desk:(04:39
toyo|deskmy 8GB xfer died at 96%04:45
toyo|desklol04:45
toyo|deskso no the delay_use=1 didnt fix it04:46
toyo|deskbut yeah04:46
toyo|deskafter reading this thread I dont know if it will ever have a fix04:46
toyo|deskguess the best thing to do is either get a usb controller that is not via chip or just deal with it04:47
toyo|deskscrew it I am due for another pc anyway04:49
toyo|desk:P04:49
toyo|deskjust sucks because it of course works flawless in windows04:50

Kanohi rtg 13:36
Kanoi tried adding ath5k to lum, but somehow it did not compile13:36
lagartg: any ETA on a new LUM uploaded w/ aufs?13:38
Kanolaga: it has aufs13:39
lagaoh13:39
lagartg, Kano: just saw it. i must be blind13:40
Kanodid not check if there would be an update but aufs is included13:40
lagayes, i was waiting for a new upload13:41
=== LifeHacker is now known as tuxmaniac
rtglaga, Kano: stuff should be appearing in the archive by now, though I have not checked.13:46
lagartg: packages.ubuntu.com already has it13:47
lagathat's great news.13:47
rtgnow, back to fixing FTBS on sparc and ia64...13:47
rtgKano: is ath5k ready for prime time?13:49
Kanowanted to test it, also for some others13:49
Kano2.6.25 will have it by default13:49
rtgKano: please do, but I'm not adding it to lum unless its relatively stable and functional. I'll talk to Luiz about it.13:50
Kanocould you help me a bit with my patch?13:50
Kanohow to modifiy the Makefile correctly, i added "obj-$(CONFIG_ATH5K)              += wireless/ath5k/"13:51
Kanoin the ubuntu makefile, added CONFIG_ATH5K=m to config13:51
rtgsure, past into pastebin so I can see the whole Makefile13:51
Kanobut i think i have to modifiy the makefile of ath5k 13:52
maks_we have tons of ath5k bug reports13:52
maks_currently you need to be lucky afais13:52
Kanohttp://kanotix.com/files/kernel/kernel-update-pack-generic/source/lum-ath5k.patch13:53
Kanothats my test patch13:53
Kanoath5k-$(CONFIG_ATH5K_DEBUG)     += debug.o13:54
Kanoobj-$(CONFIG_ATH5K)             += ath5k.o13:54
Kanoi guess thats the part to change13:54
Kanoor do i just need to export CONFIG_ATH5K?13:56
rtgKano: change 'obj-$(CONFIG_ATH5K) += ath5k.o' to 'obj-m += ath5k.o'13:56
Kanowill try13:57
Kanortg: ok, that does not compile then...14:06
Kanomaybe too many changed needed14:06
rtgKano: it does not compile because the Makefile is wrong? or the source is wrong? in either case you're on your own.14:06
Kanoi think it needs changes to the wireless stack14:07
Kanoas you dont get it alone only as compat pack14:07
rtgKano: that would not surprise me at all.14:07
Kanoi guess i try a simpler module first like em8300...14:08

jaycall: How do I fix this git push error?20:20
jaycerror: remote 'refs/heads/master' is not a strict subset of local ref 'refs/heads/master'. maybe you are not up-to-date and need to pull first?20:20
rtgjayc: do a pull first, like it suggests?20:22
jaycrtg: Nothing has changed in the remote git, do I still need to pull?20:37
rtgjayc: try it, it can't hurt20:38
jaycwell I tried, and here is the log20:38
jayc Merge branch 'master' of ssh://zinc.ubuntu.com/srv/kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ume/hardy-ume20:38
rtgjayc: so, you did 'git pull origin master' ?20:39
rtgnow try 'git push origin master'20:39
jaycno, I just did `git pull`20:39
rtgjayc: 'git pull' is shorthand for 'git pull origin master' if your config is setup correctly.20:41
jaycok, thought so20:41
rtgwhat versio of git ? 'git --version'20:41
jaycgit version 1.5.2.520:42
rtgrecent enough. can you now push?20:42
jaycyes, 'git pull origin master' went through20:43
rtgok, now 'git push origin master'20:44
jaycpush also went through20:45
rtgwhen you pull you are synchronizing with the repo. You have to do that if there have been any changes in the repo wrt to your repo.20:45
rtggit it :)20:46
jaycI'm sure the repo did not change, so I was not sure why a pull was needed20:46
rtgjayc: I think amitk rebased against current Hardy 20:47
rtghmm, maybe not.20:47
jaycNo, I didn't see any log for rebase20:48
jaycby the way, I had done a git-rebase  on my local git with ubuntu-hardy20:48
rtgjayc: I just noticed that, which is why you had to pull first.20:48
rtgyou have 2 separate trees, both with common objects, but differe HEADs20:49
rtgs/differe/different/20:49
jaycgit it, I mean got it, Thanks :-)20:49

Kanortg: can you put that in lum: http://people.redhat.com/~heinzm/sw/dm/dm-raid45/dm-raid45-2.6.24-20080602a.patch.bz220:51
Kanoit is usally a kernel patch20:51
rtgKano: is it in the 2.6.24.Y tree ? I thought I saw that one of the 45 stable tree patches dealt with dm-raid.20:53
Kanono idea20:53
