sorenAre there any kernel command line parameters I can use to modify anything about the scheduler's behaviour?11:29
sn9clocksource=11:29
sn9probably others, too11:29
sn9i tried "notsc" but that made it crash11:30
sn9how goes the kvm effort? i filed and/or commented on a flurry of launchpad bug reports11:31
sn9beginning with Bug #19895711:36
ubotuLaunchpad bug 198957 in virt-manager "virt-manager needs libvirt-bin, but is not marked as required" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19895711:36
amitksoren: have you tried irqfixup, irqpoll, noirqdebug, acpi=off, acpi=noirq?11:38
sorenNot yet. I'll try those.11:55
sn9soren: can you remove the fix-released tag from that bug?11:56
sorenNo.11:56
sorenWell, yes, I can, but I won't.11:56
sorenvirt-manager. does. not. need. libvirt-bin.11:57
sn9did you read the later comments?11:57
sn9soren: ^^^11:58
sorenYes.11:59
sorenCan we discuss this in #ubuntu-virt, perhaps? It's not really #ubuntu-kernel material.12:00

mdomschrtg, ping14:55
mdomschrtg: re akpm's note about edd=off being broken14:55
rtgmdomsch: I saw it. what do you think?14:55
mdomschhaven't you had that patch in the ubuntu beta kernels for weeks?14:55
rtgmdomsch: actually, for months.14:55
rtgmdomsch: I can grovel LP for EDD reports, but I don't remember seeing anything.14:56
rtgmdomsch: I think it went in during Jan/Feb timeframe.14:57
cjwatsonedd=off> reference?14:57
mdomschhey nice - http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.24-rc6-git8.id14:59
mdomschI didn't realize they put the commit ids there14:59
mdomschcjwatson, lkml this morning from akpm14:59
cjwatsonwe default to edd=off in Ubuntu though, right?15:01
rtgmdomsch: I'm not seeing anything in LP. I'm pretty sure Jose tested it thoroughly as well.15:01
rtgat least on Dell platforms.15:01
rtgcjwatson: yead, but lemme check for sure.15:01
mdomschnothing between .24-rc6-git2 and -git8 in the git log that's obvious15:02
mdomschwhich is where the reporter said it would be15:03
rtgcjwatson: the EDD defualt is off, but can be set at boot time.15:05
mdomschnothing in the git diff between those either that could be related15:07
rtgmdomsch: bogus report perhaps?15:08
rtgamitk: CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE doesn't help much 'cause you have to recompile with the table path.15:18
amitkrtg: i thought it had a hardcoded path with filename in it?15:20
rtgamitk: the default is empty.15:21
rtgamitk: I didn't look at the code. Does it load the table dynamically?15:22
Helvascahe15:22
Helvascay15:22
HelvascaI was just wondering if anything has being happening with the fan issue15:22
amitkrtg: yes, if it finds a certain file at the given path.15:23
rtgamitk: cool. that is way more useful to a distro.15:24
ckingare we referring to drivers/acpi/osl.c15:24
rtgcking: I think so.15:25
ckingif CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT is defined, it's hardcoded with file defined by CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE15:25
rtgcking: yeah, I'm just looking to see what that value was in hardy15:26
mdomschrtg, perhaps15:26
* mdomsch responds on lkml15:26
dokoBenC: no chance for #137043 for intrepid?15:26
rtgdoko: highly unlikely15:27
rtgdoko: never mind. I was thinking hardy15:28
dokortg: ok, let's try to sit down at uds, maybe I could add this with your help15:30
rtgdoko: we are maintaining a UDS topics page. lemme find it...15:30
ckingrtg: I thought we relied on CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD - which uses /DSDT.aml15:30
amitkrtg: it is in /topic15:31
ckingamitk: that's far too handy15:31
rtgamitk: you're gonna have to elaborate. I'm far to dense this morning.15:32
amitkjust type '/topic'15:32
rtgamitk: oh, you mean on IRC.15:33
amitkrtg: yeah, for the link15:33
rtgdoko: ^^^ add your topic there.15:33
rtgcking: it appears that if you leave CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE blank, then it defaults to /DSDT.aml in the initramfs.15:40
ckingrtg: a sensible fallback to a undefined DSTD_FILE :-)15:41
rtgcking: it looks like the default hardy behavior, so no changes required. that's just too easy.15:42
ckingrtg: iwhen it looks too easy and some sneaky difference bites later is what I don't like.15:43
cking^iwhen^when15:43
amitkrtg: there shouldn't be any difference in behaviour. That patch was is very good shape IMO.15:45
ckinghas there been considerable patching to make suspend/resume work OK in hardy? 2.6.25 just does not resume well on my laptop.15:56
cking...mind you the USB hub does not help my laptop resume since it draws to much power - a non-compliant hub!15:57
amitkcking: broken driver perhaps?15:58
ckingamitk: yeah - I just don't have the inclination to fix it right now.. it's bad enough sorting out other peoples bugs :-)15:58
cking..not that I mind :)15:59
smbBenC: ping16:07
BenCsmb: ?17:48
phoenix24Is the Kernel Meeting already over ?17:48
smbBenC: You can ignore the last ping. It was for the call. :)17:52

DB42how can i check why my laptop fan doesn't work after returning from hibernation till i unplug AC ?18:55
johanbrDB42: Sounds like an ACPI problem.19:07
DB42yeah, but i have no idea how to go about it19:07
DB42seen lots of complaints on launchpad with no solutions19:07
DB42i was hoping the move from 7.10 to 8.04 would fix it... but alas it does not19:08
johanbrHP laptop?19:08
DB42lenovo 3000 n10019:08
DB42the fan works ok normally, but when i hibernate / return it doesn't work till i unplug / replug the AC19:08
DB42the other day i forgot, and the laptop got to 90 degree Celusius or so19:08
DB42burning hot19:08
johanbrSomeone may have hacked up a working DSDT.19:09
DB42when i disconnected the AC is immidiatily shut down for thermal protection19:09
DB42where can i check19:10
alex_jonigiyf19:11
DB42i'll look for lenovo 3000 n100 dsdt19:13
DB42is there a debug verbose mode for acpi where i can see what it does ?19:14
alex_jonihttp://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-handheld-25/broken-suspend-and-hibernate-on-lenovo-3000-n100-running-ubuntu-530203/19:14
alex_joni(might be related..)19:14
DB42yeah, i found it on google, doesn't seem relatd at all19:15
DB42and it's older version with different problems19:15
DB42any ideas how to debug acpi ?19:18
Man_of_Waxanyone knows if evtouch driver or some other driver for tablet pc are already included in hardy kernel? My tablet pc seems to works without xserver-xorg-evtouch drivers but I can't figure out a way to calibrate the touchscreen21:40
JanCmaybe the hardware emulates a mouse or something like that?21:41
Man_of_Waxi have no idea21:41
sn9it probably uses the wacom interface21:41
Man_of_Waxmaybe... infact the right click doesn't work21:42
sn9try the wacom utils21:42
krautis it possible to renice threads of a process?21:50
