=== asac_ is now known as asac [08:58] moin [11:29] Are there any kernel command line parameters I can use to modify anything about the scheduler's behaviour? [11:29] clocksource= [11:29] probably others, too [11:30] i tried "notsc" but that made it crash [11:31] how goes the kvm effort? i filed and/or commented on a flurry of launchpad bug reports [11:36] beginning with Bug #198957 [11:36] 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] soren: have you tried irqfixup, irqpoll, noirqdebug, acpi=off, acpi=noirq? [11:55] Not yet. I'll try those. [11:56] soren: can you remove the fix-released tag from that bug? [11:56] No. [11:56] Well, yes, I can, but I won't. [11:57] virt-manager. does. not. need. libvirt-bin. [11:57] did you read the later comments? [11:58] soren: ^^^ [11:59] Yes. [12:00] Can we discuss this in #ubuntu-virt, perhaps? It's not really #ubuntu-kernel material. [12:00] oops === smb_away is now known as smb_tp [14:55] rtg, ping [14:55] rtg: re akpm's note about edd=off being broken [14:55] mdomsch: I saw it. what do you think? [14:55] haven't you had that patch in the ubuntu beta kernels for weeks? [14:55] mdomsch: actually, for months. [14:56] mdomsch: I can grovel LP for EDD reports, but I don't remember seeing anything. [14:57] mdomsch: I think it went in during Jan/Feb timeframe. [14:57] edd=off> reference? [14:59] hey nice - http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.24-rc6-git8.id [14:59] I didn't realize they put the commit ids there [14:59] cjwatson, lkml this morning from akpm [15:01] we default to edd=off in Ubuntu though, right? [15:01] mdomsch: I'm not seeing anything in LP. I'm pretty sure Jose tested it thoroughly as well. [15:01] at least on Dell platforms. [15:01] cjwatson: yead, but lemme check for sure. [15:02] nothing between .24-rc6-git2 and -git8 in the git log that's obvious [15:03] which is where the reporter said it would be [15:05] cjwatson: the EDD defualt is off, but can be set at boot time. [15:07] nothing in the git diff between those either that could be related [15:08] mdomsch: bogus report perhaps? [15:18] amitk: CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE doesn't help much 'cause you have to recompile with the table path. [15:20] rtg: i thought it had a hardcoded path with filename in it? [15:21] amitk: the default is empty. [15:22] amitk: I didn't look at the code. Does it load the table dynamically? [15:22] he [15:22] y [15:22] I was just wondering if anything has being happening with the fan issue [15:23] rtg: yes, if it finds a certain file at the given path. [15:24] amitk: cool. that is way more useful to a distro. [15:24] are we referring to drivers/acpi/osl.c [15:25] cking: I think so. [15:25] if CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT is defined, it's hardcoded with file defined by CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE [15:26] cking: yeah, I'm just looking to see what that value was in hardy [15:26] rtg, perhaps [15:26] * mdomsch responds on lkml [15:26] BenC: no chance for #137043 for intrepid? [15:27] doko: highly unlikely [15:28] doko: never mind. I was thinking hardy [15:30] rtg: ok, let's try to sit down at uds, maybe I could add this with your help [15:30] doko: we are maintaining a UDS topics page. lemme find it... [15:30] rtg: I thought we relied on CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD - which uses /DSDT.aml [15:31] rtg: it is in /topic [15:31] amitk: that's far too handy [15:32] amitk: you're gonna have to elaborate. I'm far to dense this morning. [15:32] just type '/topic' [15:33] amitk: oh, you mean on IRC. [15:33] rtg: yeah, for the link [15:33] doko: ^^^ add your topic there. [15:40] cking: it appears that if you leave CONFIG_ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_FILE blank, then it defaults to /DSDT.aml in the initramfs. [15:41] rtg: a sensible fallback to a undefined DSTD_FILE :-) [15:42] cking: it looks like the default hardy behavior, so no changes required. that's just too easy. [15:43] rtg: iwhen it looks too easy and some sneaky difference bites later is what I don't like. [15:43] ^iwhen^when [15:45] rtg: there shouldn't be any difference in behaviour. That patch was is very good shape IMO. [15:56] 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] ...mind you the USB hub does not help my laptop resume since it draws to much power - a non-compliant hub! [15:58] cking: broken driver perhaps? [15:58] 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] ..not that I mind :) [16:07] BenC: ping [17:48] smb: ? [17:48] Is the Kernel Meeting already over ? [17:52] BenC: You can ignore the last ping. It was for the call. :) [17:53] phoenix24: there did not appear to be one 53 minutes ago [18:55] how can i check why my laptop fan doesn't work after returning from hibernation till i unplug AC ? [19:07] DB42: Sounds like an ACPI problem. [19:07] yeah, but i have no idea how to go about it [19:07] seen lots of complaints on launchpad with no solutions [19:08] i was hoping the move from 7.10 to 8.04 would fix it... but alas it does not [19:08] HP laptop? [19:08] lenovo 3000 n100 [19:08] the fan works ok normally, but when i hibernate / return it doesn't work till i unplug / replug the AC [19:08] the other day i forgot, and the laptop got to 90 degree Celusius or so [19:08] burning hot [19:09] Someone may have hacked up a working DSDT. [19:09] when i disconnected the AC is immidiatily shut down for thermal protection [19:10] where can i check [19:11] giyf [19:13] i'll look for lenovo 3000 n100 dsdt [19:14] is there a debug verbose mode for acpi where i can see what it does ? [19:14] http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-handheld-25/broken-suspend-and-hibernate-on-lenovo-3000-n100-running-ubuntu-530203/ [19:14] (might be related..) [19:15] yeah, i found it on google, doesn't seem relatd at all [19:15] and it's older version with different problems [19:18] any ideas how to debug acpi ? [21:40] 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] maybe the hardware emulates a mouse or something like that? [21:41] i have no idea [21:41] it probably uses the wacom interface [21:42] maybe... infact the right click doesn't work [21:42] try the wacom utils [21:50] is it possible to renice threads of a process?
