lagaso, i just send the patches as attachments to the list?00:39
=== asac_ is now known as asac
smb_tplaga, could it be that patch 1/6 is missing?01:23
lagait's stuck in moderation01:23
lagai forgot to add it, then sent another mail which is stuck now01:23
laga5/6 has a wrong subject line - it's past 2am here :)01:23
lagaG'night01:23
smb_tplaga, ah ok. yeah I figured that out. Und auch die Uhrzeit. ;-)01:24
abaqueirohello, I have this problem: I installed Ubuntu Server for sparc, I have 2 disk (hda, hdd) both with four partitions, the partitions 1º are only unused 8 Mb partitions, the partitions 2º are about 512 Mb, and I created a Raid1 device for the swap, the partitions 4º about 19Gb in both disk are for a RAID1 device, wich contain a ext3 filesystem (including /boot), ubuntu instalation was ok, until the instalation of silo, where it says there was an 05:49

* BenC likes the new ABI blacklisting15:31
BenCI can't remember the last time we've been able to do 4 mid-development kernel uploads without bumping the ABI15:31
=== _fs is now known as fs
lagaBenC: have you seen the aufs patch? ;)17:06
BenClaga: Yeah, I'll review it over the weekend17:08
BenClaga: thanks...Have you tested that it actually works?17:08
lagayes.17:09
laganot on a live disk, but it boots my diskless client17:09
lagait looks like i'm not supposed to set config options to "n", they need to be undefined instead. i'll send another patch to fix that.17:10
BenClaga: to make it easy, run "debian/rules updateconfigs"17:13
BenCthat's what I'll end up doing afterwards anyway17:13
adamwoodHi, I just attached a patch to launchpad bug #242448, I hope it's helpful18:40
rtgkirkland: '<adamwood> Hi, I just attached a patch to launchpad bug #242448, I hope it's helpful'18:56
kirklandrtg: adamwood: hiya, let me reboot ...  messages here are logged by my proxy18:56
kirklandadamwood: hi, do you have a kernel built that I can try?19:02
kirklandrtg: or perhaps you have one?19:02
adamwoodkirkland:Hi, I have a 2.6.24-21-generic .deb if you want it19:02
rtgkirkland: no, I was just looking at his patch. part of it at least is already in Hardy, so I'm not sure what he's got for sure.19:03
kirklandadamwood: please19:03
adamwoodkirkland:give me a min to upload it somewhere19:03
kirklandadamwood: which arch?19:04
kirklandadamwood: I'm going to install a new kvm19:04
adamwoodi38619:04
kirklandk19:04
rtgadamwood: I'm totally confused by your explanation in the bug report. you are referencing commits that are already in Hardy. How did you assemble your patch?19:06
adamwoodrtg:the commits are from around the 2.6.25-rc3 tag so they're not part of the Ubuntu- tags as far as I could tell.19:07
rtgadamwood: they are from the Hardy tree. How can they be 2.5.25-rc3?19:08
adamwoodrtg:something that confused me too, but running git tag -l on the hardy tree lists a lot of extra tags I was surprised to see.19:09
rtghmm, I wonder if someone pushed all of their fetch info from upstream.19:10
adamwoodrtg:I first downloaded the ubunut-hardy tree a couple of days ago so I don't really know, I just muddled through ;-)19:10
ogasawaraadamwood: I'm seeing the same one freshly cloned ubuntu-hardy trees19:15
ogasawaras/one/on/19:15
adamwoodogasawara:I hope that means I'm looking a little less stupid ;-)19:15
rtgadamwood, ogasawara: lemme see if I can clean things up. the LP message makes more sense.19:15
ogasawaraadamwood: heh, I thought I was going crazy for a while19:16
adamwoodkirkland: http://www.xephi.co.uk/files/linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic_2.6.24-21.41_i386.deb 19:18
adamwoodrtg:sorry if I've given you some extra work there, i just assumed the full tree was supposed to be included19:19
rtgadamwood: t'aint your fault.19:21
smb_tprtg, ogasawara, adamwood: the one could have been me when I pushed the re-worked head19:22
rtgadamwood: for future reference, the preferred way to backport a patch is to 'git cherry-pick', then resolve conflicts, etc. That way you preserve the provenance of the upstream patch.19:25
adamwoodrtg: thanks, I thought something like that which is why I linked to the sources, but I doubt applying the second patch I listed would be a good idea.19:26
rtgadamwood: you're right about the second one.19:26
rtgsmb_tp: assume the Hardy repo is offline for a bit.19:28
adamwoodrtg: there's only a 1 line change of any use in it anyway. Hence my patch just to keep things simple even though I knew it wasn't the best way to handle it19:28
kirklandadamwood: you don't happen to have an amd64 deb, do you?19:34
adamwoodkirkland: not ready made but I could probably build one tomorrow19:35
kirklandadamwood: okay, let me get a fresh vm19:36
adamwoodkirkland: I'll be going afk shortly (it's been a long day ;) ) but it can't be too hard to find my e-mail address on launchpad if you need me to build a different arch19:38
kirklandadamwood: okay, thanks19:38
kirklandadamwood: i'll update the bug status19:38
adamwoodkirkland: let's hope i'm not wrong then19:39
* adamwood is back19:41
soreiserhi there, i would like to know why "all_generic_ide" is not working with hardy. i really need it to make my old pc working. thanks21:37
Tallkensoreiser: it works, at least worked with server version21:38
alex_jonisoreiser: what's the error you're getting?21:38
alex_jonion some systems I used to use all_generic_ide, but then switched to irqpoll to make them work21:38
Tallkensoreiser: have you tried -- generic.all_generic_ide=121:39
Tallken?21:39
soreiserTallken, alex_joni just tried with ubuntu-server and ubuntu (8.04) and simply it does not work (i can see many I/O errors from dmesg loading). it works on xubuntu 7.10 instead :-/21:39
soreiserTallken no, should i try that too?21:39
Tallkenwhy not?21:39
Tallkensoreiser: add "generic.all_generic_ide=1" and hope for the best21:40
soreiserTallken, alex_joni i forget to say that it does not work only with livecd/install cd21:40
soreiseron grub it works21:40
Tallkenah21:40
Tallkendon't know then :/21:41
soreiserah and "generic.all_generic_ide=1" if i dont mistake i have already tried also this, some time ago21:41
Tallkenthe livecd boot system acts weird now and then21:41
soreiseralso all_generic_ide=1 <-- about this i'm sure21:41
alex_jonisoreiser: try the irqpoll option too21:41
alex_jonican't hurt21:41
soreiseralex_joni does is serves to my ide-problem? :-/ 'cause i have an old motherboard with the 34gb limit block and i need to get rid of it (all_generic_ide does :))21:43
alex_jonisoreiser: probably not21:44
soreiserthe problemTallken how can i install hardy-server on my old pc if that parameter not woks? is there any workaround?21:44
soreiseralex_joni irqpool has to do with hdd too? 'cause that pc is now down and i wuold like to be sure that it works to dont wait half hour for it to wake up uselessly ;)21:45
alex_jonisoreiser: I was bitten by this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/20663521:45
soreiserthis is what i get if all_generic_ide is not added: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/6454122/A%3A%5Cdmesg.txt21:47
soreisersee under, all those I/O errors21:48
soreiseralex_joni21:48
soreiseralex_joni excuse me, have you read when i wrote the problem is only for the livecd? have you any idea/workaruond?21:49
soreiserah, i forgot: on xubuntu 7.10 the parameter worked, on ubuntu 7.10 did not (livecd both i mean) what do you think about?21:50
alex_jonisoreiser: I would still try to add irqpoll and all_generic_ide as boot params for the LiveCD21:50
soreiseralex_joni both?21:51
soreiseror just irqpool?21:51
soreiser*poll21:51
alex_joniyes.. did you read the bug link I pasted?21:51
alex_joniboth21:51
soreisersorry no i didn't read it so much, 'cause i wanted to search the laucnhpad report i already did  sorry ;) ok i'll try it tomorrow then if i'll got troubles i will return here :)21:53
soreiserah alex_joni: <soreiser> ah, i forgot: on xubuntu 7.10 the parameter worked, on ubuntu 7.10 did not (livecd both i mean) what do you think about? <--21:54
alex_jonisoreiser: not familiar with xubuntu's livecd21:55
alex_joniand neither with ubuntu's 7.1021:55
soreiseralex_joni okey thank you anyway i'll try it tomorrow thanks again :)21:57
alex_joninp..22:00
soreiser;)22:01
rtgkirkland: when it is done building http://ppa.launchpad.net/timg-tpi/ubuntu will have a kernel with the ecryptfs patch from upstream e4465fdaeb3f7b5ef47f389d3eac76db79ff20d822:14
kirklandrtg: awesome, i have had a hell of a time getting an i386 vm up and running22:15
rtgkirkland: I'm outta here a bike ride. have a good weekend.22:15
kirklandrtg: nice!22:15
kirklandrtg: i bought a road bike yesterday22:16
kirklandrtg: Canondale22:16
rtgmine's a canondale too, but its a 15 year old F700 mountain bike. still works good.22:16
rtgthe thing I like about mountain biking is that there are no cars to run me over.22:17
kirklandrtg: i hear ya, this thing still scares me shitless22:17
rtgkirkland: like when you forget to unclip at a stop light?22:18
kirklandrtg: yeah, and doing 50mph down hill (well, i haven't done that yet)22:18
kirklandrtg: but it will scare me22:18
rtgkirkland: yeah, well be careful. gotta go.22:19
godlygeekcan anyone here explain to me how key presses on the keyboard get mapped to keycodes by the kernel?22:45
mjg59godlygeek: There's a table in drivers/input/atkbd.c23:00
mjg59godlygeek: There's a table in drivers/input/keyboards/atkbd.c23:00
godlygeekmaybe i'm missing something...23:05
godlygeekwhat's the distinction between keycode and scancode?23:06
mjg59scancode is what the hardware generates. keycode is what it gets turned into.23:06
mjg59keycodes are things in /usr/include/linux/input.h23:06
godlygeekah, ok.  i had them flipped in my head...23:06
godlygeeki'm going to try very hard to figure out how to get a sysrq button press on my macbook...23:07
godlygeekbecause not being able to use magic sysrq is absolutely killing me... i'd love to be able to cleanly unmount my disks when i crash... heh23:07
godlygeekone last thing.. if two key presses generate the same scan code (with showkey -s), this means that they look exactly the same to the kernel, since showkey -s does absolutely no translation... right?23:12
mjg59They should, yes23:13
godlygeekok.  mac docs say that fn-shift-f11 is printscrn on windoze, but that definitely doesn't do anything different from regular-old f11 here.23:13
mjg59Oh! USB is different.23:14
mjg59Entirely different.23:14
mjg59Showkey will probably lie to you when it comes to the raw scancodes, since there aren't any23:14
mjg59They're already abstracted by the HID protocol23:14
godlygeeki take it the internal keyboard in mac laptops are USB, then?23:14
godlygeeknever knew that.23:14
mjg59Yup23:16
godlygeekok.  well, pointers to what i should read up on to try to further my goal, then?23:16
mjg59Not sure. I'm really not sure how the sysrq stuff is implemented, I'm afraid.23:17
godlygeekwell, from what i can see, whenever the kernel gets a keycode it checks if it's for SYSRQ, if it's down, whether alt was pressed, etc, and waits for a new keycode for function to do...23:17
godlygeekso, that all makes perfect sense, except that my keyboard never gives it any scan codes that match the keycode for SYSRQ23:18
godlygeekso, it ought to be no different from the general question of "how do i make key XXX send keycode YYY"23:18
godlygeekexcept that it needs to be done on the lowest level possible, of course.  :)23:19
chris_goedoes anyone know why CONFIG_MD_RAID10 is not selected in hardy's kernel image?23:50
