tjaaltonBenC: hey, could you drop the commit mentioned on bug 197929?12:06
ubotuLaunchpad bug 197929 in linux "Backlight adjustment no longer works on Thinkpad X61s" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19792912:06
BenCtjaalton: We have a fix in git for that, I believe12:08
tjaaltonBenC: oh cool12:08
BenCmjg59: The backlight patch you sent to kernel-team@ a few days ago, does it fix 197929?12:09
mjg59No12:11
mjg59Completey unrelated. The one mentioned in 197929 should be reverted.12:12
BenCmjg59: Ok, thanks12:13

mjg59BenC: Based on the comment that #201591 is causing freezes when changing to X, I think we want that for hardy13:16
mjg59BenC: If another l-u-m upload is going to happen, #147087 would be nice to fix instead of having to direct people to some wiki page13:29
BenCmjg59: 201591 is already milestoned for release13:32
buttterzmorning13:32
BenCmjg59: Added 14708713:33
mjg59BenC: Thanks13:33
BenCamitk, smb: These are the bugs we should be looking at (filter to the ones assigned to kernel team) https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.0413:36
smbBenC: ok13:37
buttterzhello, i am interested in helping on the kernel side of the house -- i'm new to ubuntu and have read some of your documentation concerning contributions -- any recommendations13:40
BenCbuttterz: The URL I pasted above is most interesting at this point13:41
buttterzBenC , i figured as much :) so i was going to look into that anyways for giggles13:41
BenChmm, I'm not sure what to do with this ralink driver problem13:43
BenCdisabling the in-kernel drivers and moving the serial monkey stuff to lum seems like the right approach13:44
buttterzBenC , there has also been a few rumblings about wireless in +1 13:47
buttterzi was considering looking into that today -- i'm off for the week so i have some time13:47
BenCin +1?13:48
buttterzthe testing channel13:48
buttterzfor heron13:48
tjaaltonhmm, something between -8 -> -10 broke hibernate on thinkpad X61, the laptop is not powered off14:55
buttterztjaalton , i heard that too -- my buddy has been working on that because he has one i have a toughbook though so its not been an issue14:58
tjaaltonbuttterz: cool.. the hibernation itself works, ie. it resumes correctly etc14:59
buttterzbut you are referring to the physical state of the machine correct?14:59
tjaaltonyes15:00
mjg59tjaalton: And it works if you revert to -8?15:01
tjaaltonmjg59: yes. I wonder if the drm changes broke it15:01
tjaaltonI don't have -9 around15:02
mjg59Hm. Possible. Easiest way to tell would be to move i915 out of the way15:02
tjaaltoncool, I'll try15:02
mjg59X will start without it, and that avoids DRM being an issue15:02
tjaaltonyep, that did it15:08
mjg59Ok, cool15:09
mjg59Can you boot with the kernel option no_console_suspend15:09
mjg59And without quiet15:09
mjg59And see whether you get any interesting kernel output when it hangs?15:10
smbBenC: call?15:10
tjaaltonmjg59: sure, one sec15:11
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
tjaaltonmjg59: 2x "[ xxx ] drm_sysfs_suspend" is all I see15:18
tjaaltonhmm, seems that bug 197064 is related15:20
ubotuLaunchpad bug 197064 in linux "Hibernate fails on Centrino-laptop" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19706415:20
=== \sh_away is now known as \sh
mjg59tjaalton: Hm. Ok, interesting. Is the machine hard frozen at that point?15:29
tjaaltonyep, feels like it15:30
mjg59tjaalton: Ah, hang on. Might have something15:31
tjaaltonalso, there's a patch upstream: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/23/26915:31
mjg59Yeah, that's what I was just looking at15:31
mjg59Could you give it a go with that?15:33
tjaaltonyeah, I'll build a new kernel from git15:33
mjg59Sweet15:33
BenCtjaalton, mjg59: if that works, I'll target it for release15:34
johanbrIs there any chance the one-line patch from bug #39414 could be applied? Without it, headsets will be unusable for many people.15:35
ubotuLaunchpad bug 39414 in linux-source-2.6.15 "syslog is flooded with messages after connecting bluetooth usb dongle" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/3941415:35
BenCjohanbr: For dapper or hardy?15:36
johanbrHardy.15:36
alex_jonisounds assigned wrong (2.6.15..)15:36
BenCjohanbr: That patch looks a little scary15:37
BenCjohanbr: Is that in upstream kernel?15:37
johanbrReally? It's just a one-liner that turns off eSCO.15:37
BenCjohanbr: it hardcodes SCO_LINK for everything, which to me is pretty scary :)15:38
johanbrNo, it's not upstream yet. Marcel Holtmann had a patch, but the fix is buggy. No proper fix exists.15:38
BenCif there isn't a proper fix, I don't want to apply one that may be buggier than the original code15:38
mjg59BenC: It's disabling a feature which is buggy15:39
johanbrRight now, SCO does not work at all when talking to devices without eSCO support. I can't see how the patch could be buggier than that.15:39
BenCmayeb I'd feel better if I knew the difference between SCO/ESCO15:39
mjg59So the choice is really whether we support the buggy feature, or disable it15:39
BenCdo ESCO devices support being used as SCO-only?15:40
johanbrBasically, eSCO allows retransmission of lost packets.15:40
mjg59Yes, esco is supposed to be backwards compatible15:40
BenCah, then that's less scary15:40
johanbrBenC: There is also another patch in the bug that reverts the state to exactly what was there before, if you prefer that.15:40
BenCthe one-liner is preferred at this point (beta/release)15:41
johanbrSee also http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=987115:41
ubotubugzilla.kernel.org bug 9871 in Network "hci0 SCO packet for unknown connection handle 1" [Normal,New] 15:41

johanbrWonderful. Thank you.15:42
elmargolHi, BenC do you have a minute?15:54
elmargolYou changes bug #183928 to fix commited... somehow I don't see how you fixed this :/15:55
ubotuLaunchpad bug 183928 in network-manager "update iwlwifi to latest version" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18392815:55
BenCelmargol: How do you now see how I updated iwlwifi to the latest version?15:59
BenC*not15:59
elmargolBenC: last version is from 03/1116:00
BenCelmargol: Latest iwlwifi is 1.2.25 from 02/0416:01
BenCamitk, cking, smb: ping16:12
smbBenC: ack16:12
amitkack16:15
BenCWell, let's get started16:19
smbok16:19
BenCNot much to discuss other than wanted to make sure we focus on release milestoned bugs at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-8.0416:19
BenCFinal kernel upload is scheduled for 4-7/4-10, but I think we want to make sure to hit that on the early side (that's the latest)16:21
BenCsmb, amitk: Anything you've come across that you think is extremely important for release?16:21
BenCmjg59: Same question for you ^^16:22
mjg59Nothing further I'm aware of16:22
BenCSo far, all the bugs I've seen are "let's try to get it fixed for release", but none should really hold up the release16:22
smbBenC: Nothing in that category. 16:22
amitkBenC: bug 197929, haven't had a chance to revert the patch though16:22
ubotuLaunchpad bug 197929 in linux "Backlight adjustment no longer works on Thinkpad X61s" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19792916:22
BenCamitk: Right, that one is milestoned for release, so should be on the list16:23
BenC197929 seems to be the most important16:24
BenCanyone had a chance to look at ralink wireless drivers yet?16:24
smbThe fix (but thats sauce) to 140511 might be "nice to have" and it should not be intrusive16:24
smbno not yet16:24

ubotuLaunchpad bug 140511 in linux "Belkin USB bluetooth device loads wrong module" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/14051116:25

smbBenC: ok16:27
BenCOk, anything else from anyone?16:27
BenCGreat, thanks everyone16:29

tjaaltonBenC, mjg59: the patch worked fine, my laptop powers down again when hibernating :)18:58
tjaaltonI wanted to try the wlan-led patch as well, but that should be applied on top of lum?19:07
mjg59tjaalton: Sweet. Can you attach it to the bug if it's not there already?19:16
tjaaltonmjg59: sure19:17
mjg59tjaalton: Winning, thanks19:19
tjaaltonthat commit was already mentioned, but it needs a patch to fix a compile error19:21
JanChm, do I understand correctly that Ralink wireless is finally supposed to be fixed after 4 years ?  or will it only be "less bad" in hardy ?22:00
buttterzhey all, is there a real reason we don't supply seperatly patched kernels? say prepatches and andrew morton patches -- i know this is a release base OS but as an option?22:06
adincis someone involved to the bug 185470 regarding the iwl3945 kernel module for intels wireless 3945 device ?22:10
ubotuLaunchpad bug 185470 in linux "iwl3945 not functioning : microcode error" [Unknown,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/18547022:10
adincthere are many some people using this device, specially with notebooks, since hardy comes with this kernel module and has problems with microcode SW error i would like to ask if this can be expected to be solved with the release of hardy?22:12
tjaaltonadinc: you mentioned that you are willing to test any fixes if needed, so add those upstream patches to the current version and build it. the wiki-page has all the instructions22:14
adincyes22:14
adinci'm new to ubuntu, if you can point me to the said wiki page i can do the testing22:15
adincand which patches are we talking about?22:16
tjaaltonadinc: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/GitKernelBuild22:16

ubotuLaunchpad bug 185470 in linux "iwl3945 not functioning : microcode error" [Unknown,In progress] 22:16
adinctjaalton: i see, but i'm not familiar with the term upstream patch22:17
tjaaltonadinc: ok, in that case just wait for someone to test it22:17
adinctjaalton: but this can not be that complicated, aren't there patches available? applying the patches and compiling it is not that difficult22:18
tjaaltonadinc: you'd need to dig them up from git.kernel.org22:19
adincok22:19
adincwith upstream patch, you were trying to say patches from the developer below ubuntu, the kernel patches22:20
adincok, thank you very much so far22:20
