[11:29] <soren> Are there any kernel command line parameters I can use to modify anything about the scheduler's behaviour?
[11:29] <sn9> clocksource=
[11:29] <sn9> probably others, too
[11:30] <sn9> i tried "notsc" but that made it crash
[11:31] <sn9> how goes the kvm effort? i filed and/or commented on a flurry of launchpad bug reports
[11:36] <sn9> beginning with Bug #198957
[11:36] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 198957 in virt-manager "virt-manager needs libvirt-bin, but is not marked as required" [Undecided,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/198957
[11:38] <amitk> soren: have you tried irqfixup, irqpoll, noirqdebug, acpi=off, acpi=noirq?
[11:55] <soren> Not yet. I'll try those.
[11:56] <sn9> soren: can you remove the fix-released tag from that bug?
[11:56] <soren> No.
[11:56] <soren> Well, yes, I can, but I won't.
[11:57] <soren> virt-manager. does. not. need. libvirt-bin.
[11:57] <sn9> did you read the later comments?
[11:58] <sn9> soren: ^^^
[11:59] <soren> Yes.
[12:00] <soren> Can we discuss this in #ubuntu-virt, perhaps? It's not really #ubuntu-kernel material.
[12:00] <sn9> oops
[14:55] <mdomsch> rtg, ping
[14:55] <mdomsch> rtg: re akpm's note about edd=off being broken
[14:55] <rtg> mdomsch: I saw it. what do you think?
[14:55] <mdomsch> haven't you had that patch in the ubuntu beta kernels for weeks?
[14:55] <rtg> mdomsch: actually, for months.
[14:56] <rtg> mdomsch: I can grovel LP for EDD reports, but I don't remember seeing anything.
[14:57] <rtg> mdomsch: I think it went in during Jan/Feb timeframe.
[14:57] <cjwatson> edd=off> reference?
[14:59] <mdomsch> hey nice - http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.24-rc6-git8.id
[14:59] <mdomsch> I didn't realize they put the commit ids there
[14:59] <mdomsch> cjwatson, lkml this morning from akpm
[15:01] <cjwatson> we default to edd=off in Ubuntu though, right?
[15:01] <rtg> mdomsch: I'm not seeing anything in LP. I'm pretty sure Jose tested it thoroughly as well.
[15:01] <rtg> at least on Dell platforms.
[15:01] <rtg> cjwatson: yead, but lemme check for sure.
[15:02] <mdomsch> nothing between .24-rc6-git2 and -git8 in the git log that's obvious
[15:03] <mdomsch> which is where the reporter said it would be
[15:05] <rtg> cjwatson: the EDD defualt is off, but can be set at boot time.
[15:07] <mdomsch> nothing in the git diff between those either that could be related
[15:08] <rtg> mdomsch: bogus report perhaps?
[15:18] <rtg> amitk: CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE doesn't help much 'cause you have to recompile with the table path.
[15:20] <amitk> rtg: i thought it had a hardcoded path with filename in it?
[15:21] <rtg> amitk: the default is empty.
[15:22] <rtg> amitk: I didn't look at the code. Does it load the table dynamically?
[15:22] <Helvasca> he
[15:22] <Helvasca> y
[15:22] <Helvasca> I was just wondering if anything has being happening with the fan issue
[15:23] <amitk> rtg: yes, if it finds a certain file at the given path.
[15:24] <rtg> amitk: cool. that is way more useful to a distro.
[15:24] <cking> are we referring to drivers/acpi/osl.c
[15:25] <rtg> cking: I think so.
[15:25] <cking> if CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT is defined, it's hardcoded with file defined by CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE
[15:26] <rtg> cking: yeah, I'm just looking to see what that value was in hardy
[15:26] <mdomsch> rtg, perhaps
[15:26]  * mdomsch responds on lkml
[15:26] <doko> BenC: no chance for #137043 for intrepid?
[15:27] <rtg> doko: highly unlikely
[15:28] <rtg> doko: never mind. I was thinking hardy
[15:30] <doko> rtg: ok, let's try to sit down at uds, maybe I could add this with your help
[15:30] <rtg> doko: we are maintaining a UDS topics page. lemme find it...
[15:30] <cking> rtg: I thought we relied on CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD - which uses /DSDT.aml
[15:31] <amitk> rtg: it is in /topic
[15:31] <cking> amitk: that's far too handy
[15:32] <rtg> amitk: you're gonna have to elaborate. I'm far to dense this morning.
[15:32] <amitk> just type '/topic'
[15:33] <rtg> amitk: oh, you mean on IRC.
[15:33] <amitk> rtg: yeah, for the link
[15:33] <rtg> doko: ^^^ add your topic there.
[15:40] <rtg> cking: it appears that if you leave CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE blank, then it defaults to /DSDT.aml in the initramfs.
[15:41] <cking> rtg: a sensible fallback to a undefined DSTD_FILE :-)
[15:42] <rtg> cking: it looks like the default hardy behavior, so no changes required. that's just too easy.
[15:43] <cking> rtg: iwhen it looks too easy and some sneaky difference bites later is what I don't like.
[15:43] <cking> ^iwhen^when
[15:45] <amitk> rtg: there shouldn't be any difference in behaviour. That patch was is very good shape IMO.
[15:56] <cking> has there been considerable patching to make suspend/resume work OK in hardy? 2.6.25 just does not resume well on my laptop.
[15:57] <cking> ...mind you the USB hub does not help my laptop resume since it draws to much power - a non-compliant hub!
[15:58] <amitk> cking: broken driver perhaps?
[15:58] <cking> amitk: yeah - I just don't have the inclination to fix it right now.. it's bad enough sorting out other peoples bugs :-)
[15:59] <cking> ..not that I mind :)
[16:07] <smb> BenC: ping
[17:48] <BenC> smb: ?
[17:48] <phoenix24> Is the Kernel Meeting already over ?
[17:52] <smb> BenC: You can ignore the last ping. It was for the call. :)
[17:53] <sn9> phoenix24: there did not appear to be one 53 minutes ago
[18:55] <DB42> how can i check why my laptop fan doesn't work after returning from hibernation till i unplug AC ?
[19:07] <johanbr> DB42: Sounds like an ACPI problem.
[19:07] <DB42> yeah, but i have no idea how to go about it
[19:07] <DB42> seen lots of complaints on launchpad with no solutions
[19:08] <DB42> i was hoping the move from 7.10 to 8.04 would fix it... but alas it does not
[19:08] <johanbr> HP laptop?
[19:08] <DB42> lenovo 3000 n100
[19:08] <DB42> the fan works ok normally, but when i hibernate / return it doesn't work till i unplug / replug the AC
[19:08] <DB42> the other day i forgot, and the laptop got to 90 degree Celusius or so
[19:08] <DB42> burning hot
[19:09] <johanbr> Someone may have hacked up a working DSDT.
[19:09] <DB42> when i disconnected the AC is immidiatily shut down for thermal protection
[19:10] <DB42> where can i check
[19:11] <alex_joni> giyf
[19:13] <DB42> i'll look for lenovo 3000 n100 dsdt
[19:14] <DB42> is there a debug verbose mode for acpi where i can see what it does ?
[19:14] <alex_joni> http://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..)
[19:15] <DB42> yeah, i found it on google, doesn't seem relatd at all
[19:15] <DB42> and it's older version with different problems
[19:18] <DB42> any ideas how to debug acpi ?
[21:40] <Man_of_Wax> anyone 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 touchscreen
[21:41] <JanC> maybe the hardware emulates a mouse or something like that?
[21:41] <Man_of_Wax> i have no idea
[21:41] <sn9> it probably uses the wacom interface
[21:42] <Man_of_Wax> maybe... infact the right click doesn't work
[21:42] <sn9> try the wacom utils
[21:50] <kraut> is it possible to renice threads of a process?
