sebner1hi, is there a known issuse with intel gm 915 and kernel intrepid?14:13
BenCsebner1: it's better to mention your probably then to ask if there is a problem14:33
sebner1BenC: my sisters laptop has a intel gma 915 and with hardy and a intrepid kernel it's not booting everytime. sometimes it`'s "No Screens found". but just with the updated kernel. if I also update xorg the same remains14:34
BenCsebner1: /var/log/Xorg.0.log and dmesg would be helpful14:38
amitksebner1: by 'not booting', do you mean the X doesn't start?14:44
BenCamitk: that's the assumption I was going on :)14:45
sebner1amitk: yes but I solved the issuse. it is a kernel issuse. disable usplash solves it.14:55
johanbrBooting Intrepid with splash usually (but not always) makes my Dell 1420 go haywire. The splash never appears and the speaker starts beeping like crazy. Is this known?14:57
johanbrBooting the hardy kernel behaves the same way, so it looks related to the intrepid usplash rather than the intrepid kernel.14:58
BenCamitk: that was terrible unhelpful...I would have liked to have actually fixed that15:01
BenCsmb_tp: I'll ACK that amd SB700 hpet patch in kernel-team@ for hardy15:03
BenCsmb_tp: and I'll pull it in for intrepid15:03
smb_tpBenC, It looks safe enough. At least only having effect on a specific hw. 15:06
smb_tpBenC, I was not sure Hardy was targetted15:07
johanbrTo answer my own question, yes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/253399/15:10
amitkBenC: despair not... I can reproduce it on my laptop. Just upgraded kernel-only to Intrepid. With splash, I only get a blank screen. On disabling splash, everything works.15:25
BenCamitk: are you using any video= or vga= cmdline options?15:38
BenCamitk: does installing v86d fix things?15:38
amitkBenC: no video= or vga=15:41
amitki guess v86d is an intrepid-only package..15:41
BenCit is, and you'll need latest initramfs-tools to go with it15:48
amitkBenC: will have to wait a bit, I lost wireless (3945) on the upgrade.15:50
BenCamitk: update linux-restricted-modules-common to get the firmware15:53
amitkhmm... /lib/firmware/<kernel-version> wasn't created15:53
amitkBenC: ack, just discovered ^15:54
BenCamitk: right, because it's all general in /lib/firmware/ now (not kernel version specific)15:55
fransman I have build a Ubuntu kernel for a Cobalt Raq server box. It has only ttyS0 as output, so no tty's/no video but that's ok for testing. The kernel is booting in a second stage fired-up by a embedded kernel. This all goes nice. But it look's like this new kernel is less verbose at startup.16:23
fransmanit show only booting kernel... Ubuntu intrepid (development branch) deblnxsrv15 ttyS0 deblnxsrv15 login:16:23
fransmanwhat do I've got to do to get it more verbose?16:23
amitkBenC: installing v86d solves the problem16:25
BenCamitk: interesting...I'd say that's a bug in uvesafb if it causes that problem without v86d installed16:26
BenCfransman: remove "quiet" from the kernel cmdline16:27
fransmanBenC: It's a Linux server box that does not boot with Grub16:28
fransmanSo there is no quiet in the boot line16:28
BenCfransman: you have to be passing some sort of cmdline to the new kernel no matter how you boot (even with kexec), so check that cmdline16:28
BenCfransman: or try console=ttyS016:29
fransmanIt does already boot with command line: 'console=ttyS0,115200 debug ip=off '16:29
fransmanBut it does not more then pasted16:30
BenCfransman: then I'm at a loss16:30
fransmanbut we will find out in the next day's for sure16:32
fransmanthanks for your support BenC:16:32
BenCfransman: np, let me know how things go16:32
fransmanI do16:33
amitkfransman: does the box have BIOS over serial?16:36
fransmanyes16:36
fransmanso it show boot state 0 and 1, but it's less verbose on the kernel in 216:37
mptI have a reproducible kernel panic when running the Intrepid alpha 3 live CD inside VirtualBox. Where should I report it, and with what information?16:38
amitkfransman: Was something changed in the bios?16:40
fransmanno please16:40
fransmanwe are hacking linux not bioses16:41
amitkfransman: I meant changing bios options :)16:42
fransmanIn this box you can not change bios options16:42
fransmanthere is even no bios screen16:43
fransmanit all embedded 16:43
fransmanbuild on linux16:43

aboganiIs it meeting time?17:13
aboganiWhat is the last useful day for push a custom kernel flavour in Universe?17:13
amitkabogani: a new flavour not covered by the ports package?17:13
BenCSorry, meeting is now17:14
* BenC got caught up in 2.6.2717:14
aboganiamitk: No the "old" -rt kernel flavour...17:14
=== soren changed the topic of #ubuntu-kernel to: Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | Kernel Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam | Latest kernel upload: 2.6.26-5.14 (based on 2.6.26 final) | Latest news: Please test last-good-boot, now in intrepid (grub/module-init-tools) | Next meeting: Aug 5, 16:00 UTC | Kernel Team machine: http://kernel.ubuntu.com
BenCI don't have much in the way of topics for this meeting...Intrepid is moving along, now is a good time for testing (kernel has settled)17:16
amitkabogani: ASAP, we are getting close to Alpha4 :)17:16
BenCabogani, amitk: Actually universe freeze is way later than the rest of the dist (somewhere around beta?)...as long as no one wants CD's with -rt on it :)17:17
aboganiBenC: I'm the only man on the planet that would be happy to see a Ubuntu LiveCD with -rt kernel.... :)17:18
BenCabogani: what about ubuntu-studio?17:19
BenCOk, so as far as agenda's go...let's just open the floor to some general questions/comments :)17:22
aboganiBenC:  Sorry I'm very busy with build system of the -rt kernel flavour and i'm not informed about Ubuntu Studio status except that Cory hope to have the kernel asap.17:22
BenCAnyone have any questions about intrepid kernel, features and such?17:22
BenCabogani: ok17:22
BenCOk...guess we'll call this meeting...if anyone has anything they would like to discuss, please feel free to ask17:26
aboganiBenC: What i'll do when i have a working rt kernel source package? Should i put it on REVU? Or pass it to an UKT member (that is canonical employer)?17:26
BenCabogani: REVU17:26

amitkBenC: from uvesafb documentation:22:18
amitkNote that the v86d userspace helper has to be available at all times in22:18
amitk+order for uvesafb to work properly.  If you want to use uvesafb during22:18
amitk+early boot, you will have to include v86d into an initramfs image, and22:18
amitk+either compile it into the kernel or use it as an initrd.22:18
BenCamitk: I know that part22:32
BenCamitk: but uvesafb not working shouldn't mean it destroys the video22:32
mjg59Is vga= being passed at the command line?22:33
mjg59Because, if so, grub's probably programming a mode22:34
amitkmjg59: no vga= or video= is being passed.22:35
amitkohh.. and it seems to mess up resume too. I see the pointer for a bit, then blank screen, just like on login with splash enabled22:38
Nganyone about with a 4965 wireless chip? it takes ages to connect to wireless on resume, but normally it connects really quickly. If I poke it to try a new connection after resume it's pretty quick too22:54
mjg59I think that's just n-m taking its time to rescan22:56
