aboganicking: Ho Colin! Any news about bug #177895?09:19
ubotuLaunchpad bug 177895 in linux "Kernel 2.6.24-2 causing ~1000 wakeups by "Rescheduling Interrupts"" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/17789509:19
ckingabogani: When I applied your patch to the current kernel source I got a lot of patch errors. I believe I sent you an Email about this last week. Did you receive it?09:20
aboganicking: Oh, Sorry Yes i received it!09:22
* abogani really need a coffee...09:22
ckingabogani: It seems that your kernel sources are out of sync with the current tree..09:23
* cking coffee - me too09:23
aboganicking: I can give you one if you came here! ;)09:24
ckingabogani: The coffee could be cold by the time I arrive :-)09:24

ubotuLaunchpad bug 177895 in linux "Kernel 2.6.24-2 causing ~1000 wakeups by "Rescheduling Interrupts"" [Medium,In progress] 11:39
dade`rescheduling interrupts occurs much less frequently11:40
ckingubotu: I will look at the 2.6.25-rc7 patches to see if we can patch the scheduler to fix this11:55
pwnguindoes ubotu recognize such language?11:56
ckingpwnguin: oops should have directed this to dade` 12:07
pwnguinim just glad to discover that i wasnt the only one to notice that problem12:29
BenCGood morning ppl13:21
ckingHi BenC13:21
BenCYou guys probably noticed I didn't do an upload this weekend13:21
sorentim did?13:21
BenCMostly because of time, but also because I didn't get the cpu1 suspend/resume issue fixed, but I am close to it13:21
BenCNo one did that I know of13:21
sorenrtg uploaded one last night.13:22
soren13.23.13:22
BenCDamnit, I wasn't ready for one yet13:22
BenCOh well, just means we will have another13:22
BenCWell, that's a given since everything non-x86 failed to builkd13:23
BenC*build13:23
BenCmjg59`: your vt font patch broke non-vga arch builds13:26
BenCvt_ioctl.c:(.text+0x44864): undefined reference to `vga_con'13:26
mjg59`BenC: Hm. The entire lot probably wants to be CONFIG_X86, then.13:44
rtgBenC: hmm, no good deed goes unpunished.13:50
=== bullgard5 is now known as bullgardDL4
rtgBenC, mjg59`: fixed vga_cons issue with CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE14:49
BenCrtg: Great, thanks14:50
BenCrtg: I want to get the cpufreq fix in before next upload, and I think that should be all we need right now14:50
rtgBenC: ok14:51
BenCWe should review the milestoned bugs tomorrow to make sure we aren't missing anything we want though14:51
rtgBenC: I'll have the ABI stuff ready by then.14:51
rtgI mean the ABI bits from the failed builds.14:52
BenCrtg: Can you take a look at bug #20050915:31
BenCrtg: I'm going to bring it up with Intel as well15:31
rtgBenC: it ought to be fixed in LBM w/1.2.2515:32
BenCrtg: Ok, want to fix up the bugs to point to lbm and add a blurb to that affect?15:40
rtgBenC: Leann has already mentioned the fix in LBM.15:41
rtgI'll change the project pointer15:41
BenCmdomsch: hey17:08

tseliotBenC: did you have a look at my patch? It won't take long, I promise18:25
BenCtseliot: I'll check it shortly18:25
tseliotthanks18:27
tseliotBenC: here's the link (just in case): http://www.albertomilone.com/tseliot_patch.patch18:28
BenCrtg: is ipw3945 supposed to be in hardy lum+lrm?18:29
rtgBenC: no, ipw3945 should be completely excised.18:29
rtgBenC: besides, the regulatory daemon is gone. the last release in which it appeared was Gutsy.18:30
BenCrtg: there's still remnants of it around, like microcode and modprobe.d files (lum and lrm, in that order)18:30
rtgBenC: ok, I'll cleanup.18:31
rtgBenC: what do you think about http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=abogani/ubuntu-hardy-rt.git;a=commit;h=2070509e4474bf29715fa049c13204a4a4025442 ? Its seems straightforward, but it does make changes at a fundamental level. Also, why didn't we see this problem with Gutsy?18:34
BenCrtg: not sure...maybe certain config options have exacerbated the problem (nohz, etc)18:36
rtgBenC: shall we try it? We have at least one more upload to back it out if it causes problems.18:37
BenCrtg: Yeah, hanging machines is bad enough we should at least look into it. From the description, it sounds like only dmi listed machines will see code changes...any chance we can get a test by someone with that machine?18:38
rtgBenC: I'll pursue it and get a test build out this afternoon.18:39
BenCtseliot: +  * removing madwifi?18:42
BenCtseliot: +  * changed to main?18:43
tseliotBenC: my repository will provide only the nvidia and ati driver18:44
BenCtseliot: ah, so this isn't for lrm proper...my mistake18:45
tseliotBenC: as regards "main", I had to do that otherwise the packages wouldn't build in the PPA :-(18:45
BenCtseliot: I can see that conflicting though, for the linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-X-flav packages though18:45
BenCtseliot: people will expect them to provide the same modules that ours provides18:46
tseliotBenC: the only packages which I build are nvidia-glx, fglrx, etc. nothing that begins with linux-restricted-modules-*18:47
BenCtseliot: ok, not so much of a problem in that case18:47
tseliotit doesn't cause any problem with the official l-r-m here18:47
tseliotBenC: using my PPA will avoid the problems related to local builds18:48
tseliotBenC: as Envy used to do18:48
BenCtseliot: all looks good then18:48
tseliotBenC: great! can you send an email to Daniel and Michael saying that it's all ok? Otherwise I can do it myself18:49
BenCtseliot: please pass on my ack, I don't have the email handy18:49
tseliotBenC: ok. Thanks for your time :-)18:50

adinchello, there is an comment on bug  185470 that linux-backports modules 2.6.24 are available in order to solve the iwl3945 driver problem. can someone please tell me what backports modules differ from the normal ubuntu modules?19:06
adincubuntu kernel modules19:06
BenCadinc: it's for us to update modules without affecting people and risking regressions19:11
BenCadinc: it's so people can opt-in19:12
BenC...to newer versions of a driver19:12
adincsince there is a suggestion testing a newer module, i try to understand what changes if i use this package19:12

infinityAny plans to fix the {ppc,sparc,hppa} configs for the vga_con undef ref breakage?19:29
BenCinfinity: done in git19:30
infinityYeah, I backscrolled after I asked.19:31
infinityThanks.19:31
BenCinfinity: good to see you'll be at UDS this time around19:32
infinitySo, while I'm asking "questions that have probably already been answered", is LBM/LUM/LRM/meta on the way (since things built fine on the supported arches), or are we waiting to fix the non-supported ones too?19:33
BenCinfinity: fixing first19:34
BenCinfinity: planned upload tomorrow after the kernel IRC meeting, when we'll review the milestoned bugs19:34
infinityKay.  This upload should fix the last of my "stuff doesn't quite work right on my new laptop" bugs, so I'm anxious to give it a seal of approval.19:34
rtginfinity: you don't have to wait for the kernel team to produce the bits, you could do it in advance on your PPA.19:38
infinityrtg: Well, yes, I could, but that involves taking time out from doing other things. ;)19:39
infinityAnd, really, I could do it locally (which is way faster than the PPA machines), but again... "Other stuff".19:40
* infinity will just wait another day.19:40
rtginfinity: np :)19:40
