aquariusIn bug 269652 danyer says that an update containing the fix for that bug is in the intrepid queue. How can I tell if the kernel I'm running contains the fix? In an up-to-date intrepid it's not fixed for me, so if it's believed to be fixed then I'd like to update the bug, but if the fix is still in the queue then I won't.00:45
IntuitiveNipplebug #26965200:46
IntuitiveNipplehmm, looks like the 'bot went away00:47
aquariusIt's a patch to sata_nv, which is apparently in the upstream kernel now. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/26965200:48
IntuitiveNippleAs the bug report says, it should be landing shortly in the repos. It's in git.00:53
aquariusah, cool. I looked in the queue and it wasn't there, so I couldn't tell whether that meant "it has been approved, it's in, you're running it, it hasn't fixed it" or "it's not in the queue yet" :)00:54
aquariussince it's the latter, I shall go away and wait. No worries.00:54
aquariusthanks!00:55
IntuitiveNippleI think when it leaves the queue, that means its gone to the repo :)00:57
aquariusah, so if that'd happened, I'd already have it :)01:00
aquariusta for the help!01:02
CarlFKbooted linux in vmware, cat /proc/cpuinfo model name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T760001:07
CarlFKis that a x64 ?01:07
IntuitiveNippleYes01:08
CarlFKgood.  but bad.  just relized it isn't an AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 01:09
CarlFKtrying to see if I can repo https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/254668 [2.6.27] pausing during boot01:09
IntuitiveNippleAhh, I thought that might happen at some point after the fast-path issues01:18
IntuitiveNippleprobably an issue around drivers/acpi/ec.c::acpi_ec_wait()01:22
CarlFKIntuitiveNipple: are you the TJ that just posted "I wonder if the patch-set..." ?03:37
IntuitiveNippleCarlFK: Yes03:41
CarlFKwana walk me through  bulding with that patch?03:43
CarlFKi used to build from kernel.org sources - and have kinda done some debuild03:44
IntuitiveNippleIf you're using git you can just cherry-pick the commit03:45
CarlFKi installed git a few days ago, what's the command?03:46
IntuitiveNippleYou'll need to clone the Ubuntu repo, then add Linus' repo as a remote so you can cherry-pick the upstream commit03:47
IntuitiveNippleIf you're not familiar with git it could be a bit too much all at once :)03:48
CarlFKcan't I apt-get source the ubuntu kernel source?03:49
IntuitiveNippleno03:52
IntuitiveNippleThis has a link to the GitGuide to get the Ubuntu git repo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMaintenance03:52
IntuitiveNippleAfter the Ubuntu git is clonded, you'd do "git-remote add linux-2.6 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git"03:55
IntuitiveNippleThen, create a topic-branch to do your testing: "git-checkout -b LP25466803:56
IntuitiveNippleThen, cherry-pick the commit and hope it merges cleanly: "git-cherry-pick 8553f321e0fd"03:57
IntuitiveNippleFrom there you can build the kernel following the instructions in the Wiki link I gave you03:57
IntuitiveNipplecorrection: The git-remote name can't have a dot in it... do this instead "git-remote add linux-26 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git"04:02
IntuitiveNippleAfter adding the remote, you'd need to do "git-fetch linux-26" before you can cherry-pick04:17
CarlFKIntuitiveNipple: thanks.  getting ubuntu-intrepid/.git/ - saved your notes, may get to it in a few hours 04:20
RyeBryeI'm trying to build my own custom kernel - following the instructions on the wiki. When it gets to the module check, it gets pissed at me and tells me to beg for mercy: http://ryan.pastebin.us/479905:45
RyeBryeIs the module check even relevant to me, since I'm not building a kernel for distribution - I don't see why it matters that I've disabled a few modules (that, and patching to support my motherboard's SPDIF out - is kind of the point of building my own kernel, isn't it?)05:46
RyeBryenm. in my module-check, I just disabled the line that makes it exit 1 if there are mising modules.05:54
CarlFKfirst time trying to build a kernel.deb  http://dpaste.com/82459/ EE: Previous or current ABI file missing!08:07
CarlFKtrying to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMaintenance but I guess i missed something 08:08
CarlFKhmm, myabe bash debian/scripts/misc/getabis 2.6.27 5.808:10
IntuitiveNippleCarlFK: Yes, that sounds likely08:11
CarlFK"This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to bean appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory; (expected linux_2.6.27.orig.tar.gz or ubuntu-intrepid.orig)"08:25
CarlFK continue anyway? (y/n) 08:25

CarlFKubuntu-intrepid$  debuild -us -uc -i -I; ended with  E: linux-doc-2.6.27: depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version depends: coreutils15:30
CarlFKis that expected ?15:30
bullgard4If I put a question in the channel #ubuntu-kernel, it usually will not be answered. There is (or was) a topic in it that prevents me from asking there even only occasionally. One exception is mjg59 who sometimes gave me valuable answers.15:58
lagatry the mailing list? although i'm not sure if that's the right place for these questions16:00
IntuitiveNippleIt is because, generally, we only talk about kernel development - not support issues.16:14
cathyaanother guy is tj who is pretty helpful16:37
cathya:P16:37
cathyaand of course most of them are awayu16:37
cathyaso.. you know16:37
IntuitiveNipplemostly, when we've got heads deep inside the code, the last thing we want is the distraction of IRC16:39
CarlFKIntuitiveNipple: I built without the patch just to get though without any errors.  is "debuild -us -uc -i -I" going to recompile everything, or do a make and just recompile what is needed?16:50
CarlFKI have never worried about it cuz most things build in under 5 min16:51
IntuitiveNippleCarlFK: I use a different method for building, so I couldn't really say17:02
IntuitiveNippleCarlFK: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMaintenance#Pre-upload%20test%20builds17:03
CarlFKIntuitiveNipple: http://dpaste.com/82517/ git-cherry-pick 8553f321e0fd fatal: Commit 8553f321e0fd29821135ac4797b5f37bf80ae2e9 is a merge but no -m option was given. 18:25
CarlFKman git-cherry-pick -m ... "option specifies the parent number (starting from 1)"18:27
CarlFKI think I understand the problem... not sure what parent number is18:27
IntuitiveNippleHmmm, yeah... give -m 1 a try for starters :) You can always git-reset --hard HEAD^ if it fails18:28
CarlFKhttp://dpaste.com/82518/  Auto-merged arch/x86/kernel/process_32.c (good, right?)18:31
CarlFKcommit stuff at end is just if I was going to push things back up, right?18:32
IntuitiveNipplecheck with git-log -118:37
IntuitiveNippleI thought that commit had several files, you might want to do git-show 8553f321e0fd to check all the changes it introduces are there18:38
CarlFKIntuitiveNipple:  i'm lost. http://dpaste.com/82519/  new stuff at line 12718:42
IntuitiveNippleCarlFK: You see the "Merge: be3be89... f8e256c..." after the git-show ?18:46
CarlFKyup18:47
IntuitiveNippleThat is the range of commits in the merge, to view you do: git-show  be3be89..f8e256c18:47
CarlFKgit-show  be3be89..f8e256c = fatal: object ranges do not make sense when not walking revisions18:48
IntuitiveNipplehmm18:49

CarlFK http://dpaste.com/82522/ no  'timers-fixes-for-linus' 19:07
IntuitiveNippleCarlFK: Ahhh, you'd need to either rebase the branch, or much easier, delete it and recreate it on top of the new master HEAD. Otherwise, when you checkout LP254668 it will return to the state that branch was in.19:10
CarlFKI knew i shouldn't have guessed at that step...19:16
CarlFKhow do I delete the branch ?19:16
IntuitiveNipplegit branch -D xxxxx19:17
ivoksgit is great tool :)19:23
CarlFKdoes this mean clean head? git checkout master;git pull; "Already up-to-date."19:26
IntuitiveNippleclean up files in the working directory that aren't in the index - possibly a "git-add ." followed by "git-commit ...", then you are working from a clean index19:35

ivoksopen the file :)19:41
CarlFKwell, I am not sure what i am looking for19:42
CarlFKthis all started with: "I wonder if the patch-set contained in commit 8553f321e0fd might solve this?"19:43
ivokscheck the diff from that commit19:43

ivokslook for that commit19:43
CarlFKlooks like it is in there 19:49

ivoksyou can get diff 19:51
ivoksgit diff commit-1 commit19:51
CarlFKwell, if i see 8553f321e0fd in git log, doesn't that mean it is already applied to git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git19:52
