| bullgard4 | "~$ lsmod | grep 8139; 8139cp 24704 0; 8139too 27520 0." I would like to prevent that one of the 2 modules will be loaded because after a while after booting my computer looses its LAN connection. How to prevent 8139cp from being loaded at boot time? | 04:33 |
| bullgard4 | (There is no modules.conf.) | 04:34 |
| crimsun | e.g., echo blacklist 8139cp|sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 04:45 |
| bullgard4 | crimsun: There is no /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. | 04:54 |
| sn9 | then you're not running ubuntu | 04:56 |
| bullgard4 | sn9: "~$ cat /etc/issue: Ubuntu 8.04 \n \l" | 05:00 |
| sn9 | then you have /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist | 05:01 |
| bullgard4 | sn9: Your statement is false. I have checked that by using mc. | 05:02 |
| sn9 | pastebin ls /etc/modprobe.d/ | 05:03 |
| bullgard4 | sn9: "~$ ls /etc/modprobe.d; aliases, alsa-base; arch; arch-aliases, blacklist20080116; blacklist.dpkg-dist; blacklist-framebuffer; blacklist-modem; blacklist-oss; blacklist-scanner; blacklist-watchdog; bluez; fuse; fuse; ipw3945; isapnp; libpisock9; libsane; lrm-video; nvidia-kernel-nkc; options; toshiba_acpi.modprobe." | 05:08 |
| sn9 | type: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 05:11 |
| bullgard4 | sn9: "~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a" does not produce an output. A following "~$ls /etc/modprobe.d/" obtains the old result. | 05:15 |
| sn9 | why is there a "blacklist20080116" and a "blacklist.dpkg-dist" in there? | 05:16 |
| bullgard4 | I have made a backup file "blacklist20080116" on 16th of January 2008 because my Gutsy did not work properly with my framebuffer console. Subsequently my framebuffer console did work all right. -- I do not know why there is a 'blacklist.dpkg-dist' file. May be I knew but if so, I have forgotten. | 05:20 |
| sn9 | the filenames are ignored -- the fact that it's in that folder means it gets used | 05:22 |
| bullgard4 | sn9: I am sorry but I do not understand your message. Pleas say it in other words. | 05:23 |
| sn9 | your renaming from "blacklist" to "blacklist20080116" did nothing, because the name of the file does not matter | 05:24 |
| sn9 | it's still in that folder, and that's what counts | 05:25 |
| sn9 | touble is, you have two of them now | 05:25 |
| sn9 | you should delete both, and immediately reinstall the pkg that owns it | 05:26 |
| bullgard4 | sn9: In January 2008 I made a backup copy of the 'blacklist' file then. | 05:27 |
| bullgard4 | The original 'blacklist' file has gone. | 05:27 |
| sn9 | but that was gutsy, and you're on hardy now | 05:27 |
| * sn9 refrains from yelling "do as i say!" | 05:28 | |
| bullgard4 | Yes, and I have not changed anything in the /etc/modprobe.d directory by hand myself. | 05:29 |
| sn9 | except making the backup | 05:29 |
| sn9 | that was a change, and one you shouldn't have done | 05:29 |
| bullgard4 | sn9: I have made the backup in January 2008 and changed the 'blacklist' file subsequently. But this was under the Gutsy reign. | 05:30 |
| sn9 | if you need to add additional blacklist entries, you should always create a new cfile for them, not edit existing ones | 05:30 |
| sn9 | s/cfile/file/ | 05:30 |
| bullgard4 | Hm, if I made a mistake in Gutsy, how can I repair this faulty Hardy configuration now? | 05:32 |
| sn9 | i just told you | 05:32 |
| sn9 | you should delete both, and immediately reinstall the pkg that owns it | 05:32 |
| bullgard4 | I do not understand what you mean by "the package that owns it". What DEB program package do you mean? | 05:34 |
| sn9 | sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist20080116 /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.dpkg-dist ; sudo apt-get --reinstall install module-init-tools | 05:35 |
| bullgard4 | I have done so. Now "~$ls /etc/modprobe.d does not show a 'blacklist' file either. | 05:44 |
| sn9 | it redownloaded and reinstalled, right? | 06:15 |

| bigcx2 | hey all | 09:22 |
| bigcx2 | i'm trying to do a custom kernel with the hardy release candidate live cd | 09:22 |
| bigcx2 | and i've gotten it to boot but i get hung on: | 09:23 |
| bigcx2 | Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1, 0) | 09:23 |
| bigcx2 | and i've googled the crap out of it | 09:23 |
| bigcx2 | i get a bunch of answers like | 09:23 |
| bigcx2 | enable X in your config and it will work, etc. | 09:24 |
| bigcx2 | but I can't get anything to fly | 09:24 |
| bigcx2 | i was hoping the pro's might have some ideas | 09:24 |
| bigcx2 | here's my config: | 09:24 |
| bigcx2 | http://clecol.net/config | 09:25 |
| bigcx2 | if anything is glaringly obvious i would appreciate the help | 09:25 |
| bigcx2 | my e-mail is ccole2@mix.wvu.edu | 09:26 |
| bigcx2 | thanks | 09:27 |
| amitk | bigcx2: have you recompiled l-u-m on the live cd? | 09:28 |
| soren | bigcx2: unknown-block(1, 0) smells like a problem loading your initramfs. | 10:31 |
| soren | bigcx2: Oh, live cd, you say? | 10:32 |
| soren | bigcx2: Remastered live cd with your own kernel, is it? | 10:33 |
| amitk | soren: he proabably left out unionfs/squashfs | 10:34 |
| soren | amitk: Probably, yeah. | 10:35 |
| soren | *shrug* | 10:35 |
| Kano | hi, why do you use old drivers for pdc old? it would work fine with new pata ones. also when can we expect 2.6.24.5 merged? | 11:44 |
| amitk | Kano: 2.6.24.5 will not be merged | 11:47 |
| Kano | why not? as update? | 11:47 |
| amitk | only important fixes will be cherry picked | 11:47 |
| Kano | see no reason to do that | 11:47 |
| amitk | Kano: we have some reasons - chief among them being avoiding introducing more regressions | 11:48 |
| Kano | is there a power pc iso somewhere? | 11:53 |
| maks_ | ppc ubuntu is dropped afaik Kano | 12:12 |
| Kano | but there is still a powerpc part in the kernel? | 12:12 |
| BenC | Kano: there are still ppc iso's | 12:15 |
| BenC | Kano: look in ports on cdimage.ubuntu.com | 12:15 |
| Kano | thx | 12:16 |
| BenC | Kano: And in regard to 2.6.24.5, we don't have the luxury of being able to merge without concern...regressions are a real issue (we've had them before because of .y updates) | 12:17 |
| Kano | well 2.6.24.4 is used or not? | 12:18 |
| BenC | Kano: we are at .3 + cherry picks from .y | 12:18 |
| Kano | hmm | 12:19 |
| BenC | We'll probably look into a full sync for 8.04.1 | 12:19 |
| BenC | which is just a little more than 3 months away | 12:19 |
| Kano | is there a way to sync it manually? | 12:19 |
| BenC | Check out our git and pull from 2.6.24.y :) | 12:20 |
| Kano | have to look into that how that works... | 12:20 |
| BenC | Basically git-clone of our tree, and git-pull of the 2.6.24.y stable git URL | 12:20 |
| Kano | ah | 12:21 |
| Kano | will try that now | 12:21 |
| Kano | is there already a 2.6.25 git for u? | 12:23 |
| Yetiszaf | is there something more powerfull than SysRQ for debugging? I currently have a fresh hardy-install that crashes randomly so hard that SysRQ is not responding any more. | 12:31 |
| Kano | Yetiszaf: fglrx used? | 12:32 |
| Yetiszaf | Kano: Nope. | 12:33 |
| Yetiszaf | it's using madwifi and nvidia, but it has to be madwifi then. | 12:33 |
| Yetiszaf | and I can't get any information out since it virtually stops at zero. | 12:34 |
| Kano | i guess so, try blacklist ath_pci | 12:34 |
| Kano | and use ndiswrapper instead | 12:34 |
| Yetiszaf | 'k. I'll try that when I'm home. | 12:35 |
| Yetiszaf | anything known about special Cards crashing? | 12:35 |
| Kano | or disable it using the restricted modules tool | 12:35 |
| Yetiszaf | thanks. | 12:37 |
| Yetiszaf | Anything else that can be done to get more information from the kernel? | 12:42 |
| Kano | BenC: well a "trivial" merge does not seem to be possible | 12:42 |
| Kano | BenC: http://paste.debian.net/1240 | 12:42 |
| alex_joni | cjwatson: ping | 13:06 |
| BenC | mjg59: ping | 13:26 |
| Florob | Hi, I was wondering how the prepare-ppa-source script in git is meant to be used, because it just deleted my git branch twice (my branch is in linux-2.6.24 and the script does "rm -rf ../linux*") | 13:31 |
| cjwatson | alex_joni: pong | 13:37 |
| alex_joni | cjwatson: short question, if it's not a bother.. do you remember where the /etc/apt/sources.list for an installed system gets created? (I need to add a custom repo, and don't seem to remember - it was something casper related iirc) | 13:39 |
| cjwatson | alex_joni: apt-setup | 13:48 |
| cjwatson | alex_joni: in the case of a desktop installation it's borged into the ubiquity package, /usr/lib/ubiquity/apt-setup/ | 13:49 |
| alex_joni | cjwatson: oh, that's right.. thanks | 13:49 |
| alex_joni | cjwatson: and that is used both when installing from the Live system and when using the boot option to install? | 13:54 |
| cjwatson | yeah | 13:57 |
| alex_joni | nifty :) | 13:58 |
| cjwatson | BenC: did you get anywhere with that hang during installation? | 14:18 |
| BenC | cjwatson: I'm writing up a summary of what I've done over the weekend | 14:18 |
| Jeeves_ | Can anyone here form an answer on my last question in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/58170 ? | 14:45 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 58170 in linux-source-2.6.15 "Kernel race condition if nfs mounts present on real or virtual nodes [kernel BUG at lib/radix-tree.c]" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 14:45 |
| sn9 | is help.ubuntu.com down for anybody else? | 14:51 |
| sn9 | i was in the middle of editing a page | 14:53 |
| elmo | it should be back now | 14:53 |
| mjg59 | BenC: Hi | 15:34 |
| BenC | mjg59: hey, have you looked into kernel mode setting at all? | 15:39 |
| Jeeves_ | I guess not? | 15:43 |
| tjaalton | BenC: is .25 or .26 planned for Intrepid? kernel mode-setting might make it in .27 AIUI | 15:43 |
| BenC | tjaalton: .26, but we might consider pulling in the feature | 15:44 |
| rtg | tjaalton: no firm plan yet, but likely .26 | 15:44 |
| tjaalton | yeah, that's what I had in mind too.. | 15:44 |
| === amitk changed the topic of #ubuntu-kernel to: "Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | Kernel Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam | Latest kernel upload: 2.6.24-16.30 | Latest news: Intrepid plans open: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/UDS/May2008 | Next meeting: April 22, 16:00 UTC | Kernel Team machine: http://kernel.ubuntu.com" | ||
| mjg59 | BenC: To what extent? | 15:49 |
| BenC | mjg59: I'm interested in the feature in general, but haven't had a chance to look at it other than the simple article I read | 15:50 |
| tjaalton | bryce said that keithp hopes to rewrite it within a month or so :) | 15:51 |
| tjaalton | but this is second hand information.. | 15:51 |
| mjg59 | BenC: The model is basically to move the code in X that bangs the hardware into the kernel | 15:53 |
| mjg59 | BenC: I'm not sure that the userland API is nailed down yet, so it probably won't hit mainline for a little while yet | 15:54 |
| BenC | mjg59: right, but I'm looking at the benefit of cleaner boot screens, vt switching, and linux BSOD type stuff | 15:54 |
| BenC | especially the latter | 15:54 |
| mjg59 | The BSOD stuff hasn't been implemented yet | 15:55 |
| BenC | That's what I figured...sound like a good project for ubuntu though | 15:55 |
| BenC | the improved suspend/resume was another bonus | 15:58 |
| BenC | even if this is all just for intel gfx at the moment | 15:58 |
| bigcx2_ | hey all | 16:07 |
| bigcx2_ | how would i call debian/rules if i just wanted to build unionfs and squashfs | 16:08 |
| bigcx2_ | for l-u-m | 16:08 |
| bigcx2_ | or even all of the fs/ | 16:09 |
| Kano | you would need to change the config, but usally you should build sound too | 16:12 |
| bigcx2_ | i don't need sound | 16:13 |
| amitk | bigcx2_: just edit debian/config/i386 to your liking | 16:14 |
| bigcx2_ | Kano: which config are you talking about | 16:14 |
| bigcx2_ | hm | 16:14 |
| Kano | the default config has no sound card support | 16:14 |
| bigcx2_ | mk | 16:15 |
| bigcx2_ | gotcha | 16:15 |
| bigcx2_ | it's failing on d-i stuff | 16:28 |
| bigcx2_ | which i don't want | 16:28 |
| bigcx2_ | No module interdependencies found. This probably means your modules.dep is broken. | 16:28 |
| bigcx2_ | If this is intentional, touch /usr/src/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24/debian/d-i-i386/no-modules | 16:28 |
| bigcx2_ | which i did | 16:28 |
| bigcx2_ | i touched it | 16:28 |
| bigcx2_ | but somewhere along the line it got hosed | 16:29 |
| bigcx2_ | this is my command: debian/rules binary-arch arch=i386 flavours="386" | 16:30 |
