fabbioneBenC: ping?12:33
gabbslinux-headers-2.6.24-20-openvz depends on linux-headers-2.6.24-20 however Package linux-headers-2.6.24-20 is not installed.13:42
gabbsany idea guys how to fix that? can I build that headers deb seperately?13:42
smb_tpgabbs, you need the basic headers which can be build with the binary-headers target13:43
smb_tpfakeroot debian/rules binary-headers13:43
gabbscheers smb_tp 13:43
smb_tpgabbs, np :)13:44
rtgwow, only 2 days to get a patch in Linus's tree. that has to be the fastest ever. '[PATCH] uvcvideo - Add support for MEDION E1210 webcam'14:16
ckingrtg: that's speedy14:33
rtgcking: yeah, it should make Kano happy.14:33
ckingrtg: and all MEDION E1210 webcam users too14:34
ckingrtg: Are you hammering the Intrepid kernel on any of your boxes?14:37
rtgcking: nope. I've been totally focused on Hardy LTS issues.14:37
rtgwhy?14:38
BenCfabbione: ?14:39
ckingrtg: I upgraded my server and had a whole load of ssh lockups - fortunately the current git has a fix for this bug. Good way to waste 2 hours figuring out the problem14:39
rtgcking: which network driver?14:39
rtgor was it in the network stack?14:39
rtgBenC: can you take a look at davis dmesg and tell me what you think?14:40
ckingrtg I suspect it was this : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1090314:40
rtgcking: ah, you have a wireless interface on your server?14:42
ckingrtg: yep - cause I'm sick.14:42
rtgcking: perhaps its better then drilling holes for a cable :)14:43
ckingrtg: it's a cheep RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI - does the trick though14:43
rtgcking: I'm thinking of doing the same for this SuperMicro cabinet I received last week. Its so shrill I can't stand to have it in the house.14:43
ckingrtg: yep - this was I can shove the box into the loft. It's just a pain when it goes wrong when I fowl up an upgrade 14:44
rtgcking: crawling on hands and knees in the attic?14:45
BenCrtg: davis dmesg?14:45
ckingrtg: fortunately my attic is very high14:45
rtgBenC: davis.canonical.com is ill since the LTS upgrade.14:45
* cking thinks "Liberate tutemet ex inferis" should be "Liberate tutam me ex inferis"..14:56
BenCrtg: could you point me to what exactly I am looking for?15:15
BenCfound it15:16
rtgend of dmesh.15:16
rtgblah, can't type15:16
BenCNo thoughts on that right this sec, but I'll check into it later15:17
rtgBenC: its the second time davis has had problems, but this one looks different.15:17
rtgI wish I'd have kept the first one. Maybe Ng has it squirreled somewhere.15:18
Ngrtg: the thing I captured is davis:/home/rtg/cmsj-dmesg.txt15:24
rtgBenC: ^^15:24
BenCNg: thanks15:24
Ngnp, it's the same file that's been there since before, so all I did was check its filename ;)15:26
BenCMaybe I should break out my G5...but I suspect this is an smp issue and I'm UP15:32
rtgBenC: it takes awhile, usually I have to thuimp it pretty hard with some kernel builds.15:33
rtgcking: what package runs when a new ABI kernel is installed in the grub menu? 15:36
ckingrtg: Urrmm... not sure.15:38
rtgcking: hmm, it has to be a post install hook. Michael Fey is having issue with a netbook.15:39
rtgs/Fey/Frey/15:39
ckingrtg: This is an area where my knowledge is distinctly lacking15:41
rtgcking: buried somewhere in debian/control-scripts/postinst is the answer15:42
ckingrtg: ah.. more layers of stuff15:42
rtgcking: standard debian packaging cruft15:42
ckingrtg: ..as I said, "more layers of stuff" :)15:43
rtgI wonder if update-initramfs does it?15:43
maks_no15:44
maks_it does try to call lilo to not fuck you up although15:44
rtgmaks_: but what builds the new entry in grup? 15:44
maks_update-grub15:44
BenCrtg: it's probably /etc/kernel-img.conf stuff?15:44
rtgis grub smart enough?15:44
rtgah, maybe update-grub15:45
maks_if it is indeed given as hook in /etc/kernel-img.conf15:45
maks_not maybe rtg :)15:45
rtgOMG thats an ugly script.15:46
ckingit appears that /etc/kernel-img.conf  have hooks for update-grub15:46
rtgyep15:47
BenCrtg: yeah, it was ripped from kernel-package, and I actually diluted it down a bit15:47
BenCrtg: it could use a rewrite, but I've been of the opinion that "it works, leave it alone"15:47
rtgyou'll get no argument from me.15:48
ckingBenC: ..even if it is a maintenance nightmare in waiting15:49
BenCcking: feel free to step up to the plate :)15:49
ckingBenC: Maybe when all the bugs are fixed :-)15:49
cking..and the sun has turned into a lump of coal15:50
gabbswhen I compile the target "custom-binary-openvz", which config do I have to alter ?16:04
rtggabbs: debian/binary-custom.d/openvz/config.*16:06
gabbsand my selection of the processor type will decide if its i386 or amd64?16:06
gabbshmm ... no, that cant be lol - so which one gets taken? and whats figuring that out?16:07
rtggabbs: it depends on your platform, but dpkg-architecture tells the build which one to use. You can spoof it using a chroot wherein you can build 32 bit targets using a 64 bit host.16:11
gabbsah, cheers for that information! ツ16:13
fabbioneBenC: drbd module doesn't load in 2.6.26-316:14
fabbioneBenC: just a plain modprobe will fail.16:14
BenCfabbione: the only error path I see for that is -EINVAL, which means "connector" cn exists16:18
gabbs/root/openvz/debian/build/custom-source-openvz is not clean, please run 'make mrproper'16:43
gabbswhat does that mean?16:43
gabbsI run make mrproper, rerun AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules custom-binary-openvz and it fails again16:43
rtggabbs: are you using the spurce package, or have to cloned the git repo? mrproper removed the debian directory16:45
rtgs/spurce/source16:45
gabbsI cloned it from the git repo, yea16:46
gabbsthen edited with make menuconfig the config file and tried to build the packages16:46
BenCfabbione: fixed in git16:46
rtggabbs: ok, 'git checkout -f' to recover, but it will also blow away any local changes16:46
gabbsrtg, those local changes thou (changes config) seem to cause this?16:47
rtgdunno, depends on what changes you've made.16:47
rtgcan you at least build without any local changes?16:47
gabbswell, literally only a make menuconfig, selected the debian/binary-custom.d/openvz/config.i386, exited - agreed to save, started build16:48
rtgmake sure you have a stable build environment first. see if 'debuild -b' will at least start. it ensures that all build deps are satisfied.16:49
gabbshmm .. whats debuild ?16:50
rtginstall devscripts16:50
rtgsudo apt-get install devscripts16:50
gabbswell, I am getting an output here16:51
gabbsThis package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory;16:51
gabbs(expected linux_2.6.24.orig.tar.gz or openvz.orig)16:51
gabbsI assume thats ok if I got it from git ?16:51
rtgthat fine. what command did you run?16:52
gabbsoh damn, I did a -d instead of -b16:52
* gabbs blushes16:52
gabbswell, I did not confirm the "continue anyway?"16:53
rtgok, try 'debuild -b'16:53
gabbsdpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -b failed16:53
gabbsshould I switch to a non-priv user first?16:53
rtgit should be bitching about unmet build dependencies16:53
rtgyou can also build from a standard user login16:54
gabbsoh, I missed that one! kernel-wedge16:54
* gabbs loads it16:54
rtggabbs: once 'debuild -b' has gotten opast the first few lines you can kill it and run ' fakeroot debian/rules clean custom-binary-openvz'16:56
gabbsso I don't have to meet all deps?16:57
gabbsbecause some seem a bit excessive16:57
gabbsah, works now16:58
rtggabbs: thats what deps are all about. if you don't meet them, then you're on your own16:58
gabbsthe above command will start compilation, right?16:58
gabbsbecause I'd need to modify the config still16:59
rtggabbs: make sure you can build from the repo _first_, then make modifications.16:59
gabbsrtg, good point - thou when I execute the command, I get the same error msg17:00
gabbsthe weird part is, I did compile a kernel like that roughly 4 hours ago17:00
rtgsoren: is there a secret to installing kvm on Hardy? 'apt-get install kvm' produces "FATAL: Error inserting kvm_intel (/lib/modules/2.6.26-4-generic/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko): Operation not supported"17:01
rtgsoren: never mind. I booted the Intrepid kernel.17:01
rtggabbs: what is the error message?17:02
gabbsdoes any of this give you an idea what might be wrong rtg: http://rafb.net/p/RwgOKt39.html ?17:02
gabbsI notice the "silentoldconfig" - could that cause problems?17:02
rtggabbs: 'make mrproper;git checkout -f'17:03
gabbsafterwards issue the command for compilation again?17:04
rtgfakeroot debian/rules custom-binary-openvz17:04
gabbswithout AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 ?17:05
rtgyes - without AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=117:05
gabbsah, seems to compile now17:05
gabbsshould I stop it and try with a changed config or let it run?17:06
rtglet it finish17:06
gabbshm, thats gonna take an hour or so, but ok17:06
gabbsbtw, does anyone know what a halted boot sequence after "Checking 'hlt' instruction... done." ?17:29
BenCfabbione: you will need to get drbd utils to build-dep on the new linux-libc-dev (>= 2.6.26-4.10) so that it can pick up the correct linux/connector.h where CN_{IDX,VAL}_DRBD are defined17:39
BenCfabbione: and make sure to undef the internal ones (idx is conflicting with uvesafb)17:42
BenCconnector idx sync between kernel/userspace is pretty dumb...I would think there would be a way to do connectors by name, but I can't seem to find that mechanism17:43
