lagahum. i wonder if canonical could throw some money at the aufs guy. he's apparently unemployed and he just sent a request for donations to the aufs-users mailing list.09:35
lagaof course, gregkh won't count that towards upstream contributions ;)09:35
balbirHi, Looking for some help with whom to ask about enabling a kernel option/feature (bugzilla?)12:17
aboganibalbir: Kernel team mailing-list should be the right place.12:50
TheMuso./c14:03
balbirabogani: Thanks, I was away for a while, just saw your response14:43
munckfishsmb_tp: Is linux-ports-meta going to be "in" the beta?15:11
Ben1rtg, amitk, smb_tp, cking: fyi, while working on crashdump, I totally boogered my hd, so I15:23
Ben1'm on a tmp system till I get things sorted out15:23
=== Ben1 is now known as BenC
rtgBenC: sucks to be you :)15:24
ckingBenC: owch. virtualbox is your friend15:24
BenCcking: vbox kernel module is crashing under 2.6.27 :/15:24
munckfishrtg: With whats included in linux-ports now I'd be happy to upload it in order to catch the beta.15:24
munckfishif that's possible.15:25
rtgBenC: ^^^ thats a universe package, right?15:25
ckingBenC: really? I'm running virtualbox 2.0.2 on 2.6.27-3 fine yesterday15:25
BenCrtg: no15:25
BenCcking: 64-bit?15:26
ckingyep. with all the fancy virtual assistance modes on too15:26
cking..ah.. let's clarify: 64 bit host, 32 bit virtual15:27
rtgBenC: ok, I've never built the ports package on the buildd. Is there anything special about it, or is it just a straightforward upload to ubuntu?15:27
BenCcking: I was using the kernel module source in the repo and the module would crash on load15:27
munckfishDoes anyone konw anything about linux-ports-meta and whether it's likely to be included?15:28
munckfishI believe people are still having to manually select kernel to use on install15:28
BenCrtg: straight forward...same as regular kernel15:28
BenCI thought smb did the linux-ports-meta15:28
rtgBenC: HE MAY HAVE. i'LL GET IT SORTED OUT.15:29
rtgwhoops.15:29
smb_tpmunckfish, BenC I did the preparations but I am missing the step to get it into beta15:29
cking..I just downloaded the VirtualBox 2.0.2 deb file (Hardy version), downloaded the kernel headers and installed the deb file - and I'm running Alpha 6 32 bit server fine in it15:29
smb_tprtg, No need to shout. I hear. :)15:29
rtghar, har15:29
smb_tprtg, Who would I have to bug to get linux-ports-meta into the beta15:30
rtgsmb_tp: me or BenC I guess.15:31
smb_tprtg, Ohhh! >:-)15:31
BenCsince my gpg key is in an unknown state, that means rtg15:31
rtgsmb_tp: if you wanna package the ports kernel and meta, just lemme know when your done.15:31
smb_tpmunckfish, You had worked on the ports source?15:33
munckfishsmb_tp: yes15:33
munckfishadded some PS3 specific changes15:33
smb_tpmunckfish, So that is all in the repo now and we could try to package that15:34
BenCsmb_tp, rtg: For ports, I would follow an always-bump-abi upload rule15:34
munckfishsmb_tp: yep15:34
munckfishBenC: may I ask why?15:34
munckfishis that to prevent wasting time?15:35
rtgmunckfish: makes it easier to revert to a previous kernel.15:35
* BenC wonders whos long brown hair he keeps pulling out of his pocket15:35
munckfishah ok I see15:35
rtgBenC: too much info.15:35
lagaBenC: was she pretty?15:35
lagacops usually have short hair, so we can rule that out.15:36
BenCI surely hope so15:36
BenChehe15:36
munckfishBenC: I thought you had long hair?15:36
BenCmunckfish: not since a year ago15:36
munckfishhttp://behindubuntu.org/interviews/BenCollins/15:36
munckfishah ok15:36
munckfishgetting less rock'n'roll?15:36
* munckfish used to have long hair too and knows what it feels like to lose it15:37
BenCgetting more single and need to be clean cut :)15:37
BenCI saved the pony tail in a bag....wanna buy it?15:37
rtgman, thats just gross.15:38
laga7msg BenC i'll buy it for rtg15:38
BenCrtg: you know you offered me $20 for it :)15:39
BenCI'm pretty sure I've thrown it away by now15:39
rtghuh, on that note I think I'll go make some breakfast. biab.15:39
BenCjust took longer to let go of it than it did to cut it off15:39
lagaso, would canonical like to donate to the aufs author? (no, it's not met)15:39
lagas/met/me/15:39
BenClaga: if he's willing to do a full on merge to upstream, maybe15:40
BenCbut not anytime soon15:40
lagaBenC: upstream won't accept unionfs or aufs AFAIK15:40
BenClaga: not much point then :/15:41
lagabut yeah, i was just wondering if canonical had a policy on such things. i didn't mean to spam the channel ;)15:41
BenCthat would be the gain for us, not having to maintain it out-of-tree15:41
lagato be fair, the gain right now is that it actually works ;)15:42
BenCFor our purposes, so does unionfs 1.415:47
BenCbut users want features in aufs, so we've moved on to that15:47

Zhenechheya guys18:15
Zhenechi'm the maintainer of tp-smapi in debian and would like to know why you decided to patch tp-smapi into your kernels18:21
Zhenechrather then providing modules packages as we do18:21
Ben1tp-smapi?18:22
=== Ben1 is now known as BenC
ZhenechBenC, yeah, thinkpad smapi driver for querying the EC18:23
BenCZhenech: remind me what that is18:25
BenCZhenech: but the short answer would probably be because we didn18:25
BenC't want to have to have ppl install a separate package18:25
Zhenechibm/lenovo thinkpads have an embedded controller, which can e.g. controll the charging of the battery18:26
Zhenechtp-smapi offers a interace to these settings18:26
Zhenech(http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Tp_smapi)18:26
BenCthen my answer stands...tighter bindling helps us keep it stable18:27
pwnguinlaga: don't worry, im sure greg k-h will hire him! gregk-h promised there were jobs just waiting for kernel hackers18:27
* Zhenech fetches your kernel git18:28
BenCis it such a bad thing that we do that?18:29
BenC*bundling18:29
IntuitiveNippleBenc: l-u-m commit 2e0a73b13cfe2c8c2d620b46a74013435e30c18b18:29
ZhenechBenC, well, I probably won't do that, but it's not as bad that it could break something easily (besides of compilation of the kernel itself)18:31
ZhenechBenC, but its kinda not usefull for people who dont know the interface (and I'm waiting for git to look which docs you ship)18:32
BenCZhenech: we likely don't ship the docs....we include it for things like acpi-support to use, IIRC18:33
Zhenechthere is no acpi support in tp-smapi18:33
Zhenechthats what thinkpad-acpi is for18:33
Zhenechand that is in linus tree18:33
Zhenechthe only two things tp-smapi does is battery info/control and better hdaps sensor readings18:34
BenCI mean for userspace to use, but not the user directly18:35
Zhenechah you mean the acpi-support package18:36
* Zhenech looks at the source18:37
BenCthen it's probably used by hal18:38
BenCright18:40
ZhenechBenC, you dont ship hdaps_ec anymore?18:46
IntuitiveNippleFor Hardy, it's in l-u-m ubuntu/hwmon/18:48
IntuitiveNipplesee the l-u-m commit I mentioned earlier18:48
ZhenechIntuitiveNipple, but not for intrepid?18:48
Zhenechthere is no l-u-m for intrepid as far i can see18:51
rtgBenC: did we get a new compiler version in Intrepid? I'm getting ABI errors on memcpy using the ABI files you commited for 2.6.27-4.518:55
BenCweird18:58
BenCnot that I know of18:58
rtgBenC: it is weird. I can't rebuild the version I successfully uploaded just last night. hmmm19:00
IntuitiveNippleZhenech: I don't see it in the logs, for ubuntu-intrepid or ubuntu-intrepid-ports. u-i-p has what looks at first glance like a duplicate drivers/hwmon/hdaps.c19:00
ZhenechIntuitiveNipple, drivers/hwmon/hdaps.c is the in-kernel hdaps driver (at least it looks like it)19:02
IntuitiveNippleZhenech: yeah, thats what I said. It looks to be a dupe of the one in u-i  ... I'm just waiting for an update to finish so I can't diff the two repos right now (plus I'm stuffing a chicken!)19:02
Zhenechok19:04
IntuitiveNippleBenC: is it possible u-i commit ed464174f93b accidentally left out hardy l-u-m ubuntu/hwmon/hdaps_ec.c ?19:06
rtgNg: what display graphics do you have on your e1000e based machine?19:11
mjg59rtg: He's got an X3100-based system19:13
mjg59965GM19:13
rtgmjg59: I was following up on Jiri's comment on LKML that so far all affected machines appear to be i96519:14
smb_tpIntuitiveNipple, The hdaps_ec came from the thinkpad smapi package. I am not sure why it is in u-i-p but not in u-i19:15
smb_tpCarlFK, There have been C1E news upstream. Put a new kernel to the usual place to try.19:26
CarlFKsmb_tp:  on my way19:28
IntuitiveNipplesmb_tp: The u-i-p  hdaps.c is an older version than the one in u-i (has some newer IDs added). The hardy l-u-m hdaps_ec.c has some significant differences to hdaps.c (from the tp_smapi-0.36 source tarball). I wonder if those difference ought to be integrated or are no longer necessary/19:29
Zhenechthey should be intrgrated imho (but from 0.37 tp-smapi source)19:30
Zhenechafk, food :)19:30
smb_tpIntuitiveNipple, The one from tpsmapi had some improvements regarding to some axis inversion. And it worked together with tp_smapi trhough the common ec driver. otherwise one one can be loaded. I have to check how well the kernel one does19:31
CarlFKsmb_tp: what kernel params should I be using? currently doing apic=debug debug19:32
smb_tpCarlFK, Just leave it that way, but frankly, from the changes I very much hope this is not needed and boot goes smoothly19:33
* smb_tp knows he said so before...19:33
CarlFKI was wondering when you were hoping for problems :)19:33
smb_tpCarlFK, Who ever is hoping for them. :)19:34
IntuitiveNipplesmb_tp: is it worth mailing-list post just so it is on the radar?19:35
smb_tpIntuitiveNipple, I believe it is worth it. Might also be worth to see why this doesn't get into upstream19:40
IntuitiveNippleokay... I have no idea about it but since I've just tracked all the changes I'll post one before I forget so others can consider it19:40
smb_tpIntuitiveNipple, Ok, thanks19:41
CarlFKsmb_tp: it paused... will post dmesg19:43
smb_tpCarlFK, *argh* Oh well, so I can just re-add my debugging messages...19:45
CarlFKso that's why it didnt work... you angered the debug gods 19:46
lagapwnguin: haha19:47
smb_tpCarlFK, Looks like it. Alright, lets add so much debugging the system is near paused by them. ;-)19:47
CarlFKsmb_tp: do you want dmesg now, or wait for the extra debugging ?20:06
smb_tpCarlFK, Wait for the extra debugging. I don't expect much change in the current dmesg20:07
=== _Traxer is now known as Traxer
=== borschty_ is now known as borschty
smb_tpCarlFK, Ok, there is a 4-6smb2 now and it should please the debug gods. If that pauses you probably have to write down the previous messages as far as they are visible... It is really noisy21:52
CarlFKon my way21:59
CarlFKsmb_tp: it overflowed the dmesg buffer :/23:11
smb_tpCarlFK, Did it pause somewhere before?23:12
CarlFKnope23:12
CarlFKim posting what I have - might be useful 23:12
smb_tpCarlFK, the enter and exit broadcast might be just too much... Ok, thanks23:13
CarlFKhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/17938610/dmesg24ck.txt23:13
CarlFK[    2.595651] hpet_resources: 0xfed00000 is busy23:15
CarlFKthat's the onlything I find interesting but I don;t know what to look for :)23:17
smb_tpCarlFK, No there isn't really much to see. I remove the noisy ones and put that up later23:25
smb_tpCarlFK, What seems to be useful: both cpus were not in broadcast while that pause between 3 and 17 secs happened.23:36
CarlFKevery little bit helps 23:38
smb_tpCarlFK, It surely does. This was again the first stall (before marking tsc unstable)? And you pressed a key after some time.23:41
CarlFKyep - actually plugged in AC23:41
CarlFKpluggin in AC keeps me from having to hold down a key to get it past the other pauses 23:42
smb_tpCarlFK, Does that mean plugging in AC somehow prevents the other pauses, while pressing a key has to be repeated?23:43
CarlFKright23:43
CarlFKif I hold down the shift key, (or probably any other key) it doesnt pause 23:43
CarlFKi don't know if it is keyrepeat or what23:44
CarlFKstarting the boot with AC plugged in still pauses23:44
CarlFKat the same place 23:44
smb_tpCarlFK, Might be something like this. And plugging in the AC maybe triggers some charging updates...23:45
mjg59Does plugging in AC change the available C states?23:46
CarlFKbut it doesn't explain the initial pause if it is already on AC23:46
mjg59/proc/acpi/processor/*/power would tell you23:46
mjg59CarlFK: Until the processor module is loaded, C state behaviour may be different23:46
smb_tpmjg59, CarlFK might be something to follow. Since it is clear now that at least the cpus have not gone into an idle state during that time23:47
smb_tpSo maybe C1E is not at fault there...23:48
CarlFKhttp://dpaste.com/80368/ /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/power  23:48
mjg59CarlFK: Is that on AC or DC?23:48
CarlFKac23:48
mjg59And on battery?23:48
CarlFKhttp://dpaste.com/80370/  both 23:49
mjg59Huh. It's never going into C2 or C3 anyway.23:50
mjg59Which sounds like some different type of failure23:50
