* ogra has massive probs trying to build amitk's linux-lpia package, wasnt the bi check dropped in intrepid ? 01:18
ograhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/18547672/buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-lpia.linux-lpia_2.6.27-4.6_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz shows that it fails in abi-check-lpia even though i added appropriate ignore files01:20
* ogra gives up and hopes someone else will then build a -4 kernel for lpia01:27

rafalare there some test versions for 2.6.27 yet?  im on 8.04 adm6402:28
=== rafal is now known as limcore
persialimcore, Test versions for 2.6.27 exist only in 8.10.  8.04 is exceedingly unlikely to receive them.03:08
limcorecan I somehow test 8,10's kernel and perhaps drivers, while remaining (other software) at 8.04?03:10

NCommanderI have some questions on how the ubuntu git tree rebases new releases into the tree07:39
* NCommander is attemtping to figure out how to rebase the linux-ports tree07:39
NCommanderThe log on some of the tags suggests its merged and not rebased on a new release, but I'm not sure if thats right or not07:40

apwmdz, they don't exactly have a lot of helpful comments in there do they11:02
NCommanderAnyone here a kernel git wizard?11:03
* NCommander is trying to figure out how to rebase the git repo without it exploding in my face11:03
apwwhich repo you looking at11:04
NCommanderlinux-ports11:06
* NCommander kicks xchat11:06
NCommanderI'm trying to rebase from 2.5.24 which is the basis of that repo against linus 2.6.27 tree11:06
NCommanderBut I don't think I"m doing it right since I either seem to pull old patches into the tree, or it stops every patch with a conflicts11:07
apwthats a big jump11:07
apwcan you paste the url you cloned the original from11:07
apwthen i can try it and see what it does to me11:07
NCommanderYeah11:08
NCommanderBut the ports tree has relatively few Ubuntu specific patches11:08
NCommanderapw, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid-ports.git;a=summary11:09
NCommander(thats the ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid-ports.git branch)11:09
NCommanderPersonally, my gut instinct is to merge, but thats a bad idea since the Ubuntu patches will get pushed into the history instead of sitting ontop11:09
apwmy gut concurs11:10
* NCommander notes he has a dislike for git11:10
NCommanderDamn tool nearly as painful to use as CVS when it comes to preventing yourself from shooting yourself in the foot11:11
NCommanderand it used to be close to arch in terms of user friendlyness :-P11:11
apwthey do appear to be merging the stable branch in there11:13
NCommanderThe ports repo has seen no love this release11:14
NCommanderMyself and TheMuso are working to make at least powerpc ports not suck11:15
apwmy rebase stops on the first patch with what appears to be a trivial merge which i would have expected git to detect and merge11:20
NCommanderyeah11:21
NCommanderSame problem11:21
NCommanderIt looks like they did SOMETHING to break the repos history11:21
NCommanderBut of which I'm am unsure11:21
NCommanderI'm tempted just to take the debian folder, and start with a fresh 2.6.27 tree11:22
NCommanderhey BenC 11:24
NCommanderBenC, I was wondering if you can help solve a rebasing mystery with linux-ports (and help create a kernel.u.c account)11:25
apwNCommander: went through the whole rebase, can't say i was very careful but the main pain is near t11:47
apwthe beginning, most of the merges seemed pretty and most of the last bunch of patches rebased ok11:47

D2_WONHi guys, i have a problem... i have installed Kernel-2.6.24.21-rt on Ubuntu Hardy by linux-rt package. After a while time, the system crashes and generate I/O Error, and i can not run any process. Sorry for my bad English.15:03
aboganiD2_WON: Can you report exactly the I/O Error?15:07
=== limcore is now known as limcore_
aboganipersia, rtg : I just uploaded a synced version of the rt patchset on my PPA (against 2.6.27 7.11) together to lrm-rt package. Moreover I have tested rt kernel with DKMS packages (in my case with nvidia video driver) and it works.16:02
elmargolIs there a new feature in intrepid to change the clock speed of my nvidia GPU? or memory?16:42
rtgBenC: so what is the new firmware package? my i3945 isn't working too well after an update a few minutes ago.17:39
BenCrtg: linux-firmware, but it isn't up yet18:12
rtgBenC: its breaking my rice bowl. no firmware, no wireless.18:13
rtgBenC: I sure like this USB stick as an install medium. cuts it down to about 8 minutes.18:41
BenCI need to set mine back up18:43
BenCI wonder when the next publisher run is...linux-firmware is still pending18:44
BenCrtg: do you want me to just send you the firmware file?18:44
rtgBenC: I've been using Evan's usb-creator package.18:44
rtgBenC: I'm just reinstalling. I had a version that worked, so I'll just avoid updating. the i3945 issue is related to kernel and not much else.18:45
BenCrtg: zinc:~bcollins/ if you need it18:45
rtgBenC: 'tanks18:45
ScottKWhat source package provides linux-firmware?  My test server (running the server kernel) can't seem to find it and so is a bit stuck at the moment.18:57
rtgScottK: wait until the archive catches up. its in a bit of flux right now.18:58

chrisf_i used to op there many moons agao20:02
chrisf_before timecop was in GNAA20:02
chrisf_laga: i quit going there because my interests are not in computers as much anymore20:04
mdzrtg: I tried unloading and reloading iwl3945 and its dependencies a few hundred times on davidm's machine, and can't get it to crash20:18
rtgmdz: BenC and I are speculating its an interrupt problem. He pointed out a bug report that says something else: http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1778#c1520:19
BenCmdz: It seems to be a race with other modules loading in parallel20:20
BenCguessing on the same IRQ (not much reason for a race otherwise)20:20
rtgmdz: can you 'cat /proc/interrupts' on Davids machine?20:22
BenCchrisf_: if you want to go all opensource, buy intel :)20:22
chrisf_yeah :)20:22
chrisf_ben: i guess iam behind the times LOL20:22

rtgmdz: ah, try booting with nomsi (after removing the /etc/modprobe.d load delay)20:25
BenChmm...MSI20:26
rtgmdz: rather, thats 'pci=nomsi'20:26
BenCwe had to disable MSI by default on a previous release, but I think it was affecting e100020:27
BenCchrisf_: yeah, been awhile20:27
rtgyeah, but the 3945 is about the same vintage20:27
chrisf_ben: congratulations in being a part of the ubuntu team :)20:29
BenCrtg: oooh...someone on the original bug report did mention that disabling iwl3945(rfkill) and using e1000 resulted in a hang as well20:29
BenCchrisf_: Thanks, been here more than 3 years now :)20:30
chrisf_ben: now i have two things i want to play with ubuntu muhahha installing WoW and getting nvidia's piece of trash top run on this20:30
chrisf_i am already having WoW withdrawals20:31
mdzdavidm: ^^20:31
BenCchrisf_: install Ubuntu, and you should get nvidia enabled without much problem20:31
chrisf_yeah i have ibex on here now20:31
chrisf_and nvidia is being a little *** to me20:32
rtgchrisf_: nvidia-glx-177 ?20:32
BenCchrisf_: System => Administration => Hardware Drivers20:32
chrisf_naww card is too old20:32
chrisf_nvidia-glx-9620:32
BenCchrisf_: that panel will tell you exactly which one you need, and install it for you20:32
mdzrtg: I've spoken to davidm, and have him trying two things20:33
chrisf_yeah it wont install or compile the module20:33
BenCchrisf_: what's the compile log say?20:34
rtgmdz: make sure he's remove the modprobe load delay.20:34
mdzrtg: 1. reproducing the failure with an instrumented modprobe, so that we can try to see which modules are being loaded in which order at the point when it hangs20:34
mdzrtg: 2. pci=nomsi20:34
mdzrtg: I already did20:34
rtgmdz: cool20:34
BenCmdz: that's likely to be enough to offset the race to not happen20:34
mdzBenC: I told him how to back it out in case it doesn't trigger anymore20:34
chrisf_Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.27-7-generic (i686)20:37

chrisf_You must run a dkms build for kernel 2.6.27-7-generic (i686) first.20:37
chrisf_Done.20:38
tseliot1chrisf_: see this bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/25110720:38

rtgdrat20:47
chrisf_ben: hehe i am no longer in florida20:47
chrisf_this place is for the birds20:47
chrisf_i hate the cold weather!20:48
mdzrtg,BenC: is there any way to get the kernel to log a message whenever a module is loaded? that would be handy here20:51
rtgmdz: I'm not seeing anything.20:53
mdzrtg,BenC: I've just noticed that david has a modified boot process which is loading modules in parallel with the rest of the boot process20:58
rtgmdz: how is his different then Jane's ?20:58
mdzrtg: I don't have access to Jane's system at the moment, but I highly doubt she would have that change20:59
mdzit might be a useful way to try to trigger the problem though, dunno20:59
rtgmdz: I'm sure her's is stock.20:59
mdzrtg: you can try it by commenting out the logic which calls udevsettle in /etc/init.d/udev21:01
mdzrtg,BenC: do we have any strong indications that either silbs or davidm's problem is actually related to 3945?21:03
BenCmdz: yes21:03
BenCmdz: sleeping 5 seconds before loading 3945 solves it21:04
mdzBenC: given that it's a race, that workaround you provided could easily throw things out of whack and cause it to not trigger21:04
mdzeven if the problem isn't in 394521:04
BenCmdz: the bug report has 10 dupes and lots of subs that all have found it to be iwl3945 (blacklisting other modules doesn't help)21:04
BenC3945 is the common factor21:05
mdzBenC: the description says that -1 worked while -2 didn't.  has anyone bisected?21:05
mdzor reviewed the diff?21:05
chrisf_hmm aptitude is pretty nice21:06
BenCI haven't21:06
BenCbut then, I can't reproduce it either21:06
chrisf_ben: from what i am reading, nvidia really doesnt want to support legacy users21:07
BenCmdz, rtg: Got to get a kid off the bus and fix dinner...21:08
mdziwl3945 didn't change at all between -1.2 and -2.321:13
rtgmdz: as far as I can tell, it's had no love in awhile.21:13
chrisf_well i gotta reboot, as i was speaking they updated the nvidia packages21:14
chrisf_reboot21:14
rtgmdz: 32 bit kernel?21:15
davidmrtg, in conversation with mdz I just realized that while I have the Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG hardware I am not really using it as my machine is hooked via Ethernet21:21
rtgdavidm: its still loading, and that is when you are getting hung up.21:21
rtgdavidm: that's a 32 bit kernel, right?21:22
davidmyes21:22
davidm32 bit machine21:22
rtgdavidm: maybe thats why I can't repro. I'm resinstalling with i38621:22
davidmmy Ethernet controller is Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller21:23
rtgdavidm: e1000e ?21:24
davidmYes21:25
davidmThis 'pci=nomsi' did not effect the bug, still happened.21:26
rtgdavidm: yep, heard that.21:26
davidmrtg, OK, just making sure :-)21:26
rtgdavidm: drat, I'm 10 for 10 on a 32 bit kernel. no hangs. I'm gonna blast off for awhile.back in a couple hours.21:41
mdzdavidm: please put that info into the bug as well, bug 263059 seems closest21:50
NCommanderhold BenC 22:01
NCommander*hola22:01
mdzBenC,rtg: davidm just managed to reproduce without usplash, on a text console22:36
mdzBenC,rtg: seems like a hard hang, no sysrq possible22:39
NCommanderBenC, I sent you an email requesting a kernel.u.c account so I can work on the linux-ports tree for PowerPC.22:40
mdzI'm having him attach a photo to the bug22:40
mdzrtg: he has it reproducing on the console more often than not.  maybe we should try instrumenting the driver to see where it's breaking?22:50
davidmhellp22:51
davidmhello22:51
davidmthat is 22:51
davidmrtg, my laptop is now doing 3+ out of 5 locking at boot with usplash not in boot so you can see much better what is going on.22:51
davidmrtg, do you or pete want my laptop for testing?  I can fedex out tonight22:52
davidmrtg, pgraner either of you about?22:59
ARCKEDALovely.23:00
mdzdavidm: tried phoning pgraner?23:00
davidmI did no answer home or cell23:00
davidmI'm about to call Tim23:00
mdzdavidm: random theory: could you try temporarily disabling the hwclock init script, which runs directly after S10udev, and see if that affects it?23:11
davidmWill do23:14
davidmabout to reboot.23:16
davidmOK that was fun, mdz no real change, first two boots good, next 4 NG then a good one and I'm here reporting.23:30
mdzdavidm: thanks for checking23:30
mdzdavidm: since you've had a few more boots, can you comment on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263059/comments/95 ?23:30
davidmNP, for sure it's more broken then not at this point.23:30
davidmWill do23:31
mdzdavidm: if we can confirm that, it should narrow the field a lot, and perhaps rtg can chase it down23:31
davidmIt stops in differnt places, sometimes at the channels line, sometimes past that into another driver23:32
mdzdavidm: I know, but I'm only interested in the lines coming from 3945 and 8021123:33
mdzdavidm: the normal sequence is:23:33
mdz[   17.379861] iwl3945: Detected Intel Wireless WiFi Link 3945ABG23:33
mdz[   17.523620] iwl3945: Tunable channels: 11 802.11bg, 13 802.11a channels23:33
mdz[   17.524272] phy0: Selected rate control algorithm 'iwl-3945-rs'23:33
mdzbut I have never seen it get as far as that third line when it hangs23:33
davidmOK, I'll go punch the reboot button a bunch more and pay close attention to the lockup points.23:34
davidmback in a bit.23:34
davidmI have my shipping box by the by so I can send this unit out.23:34
davidmOK, documented a series of hangs one after the other.23:56
