macoin which ubuntu git tree would i find drivers/char/drm/i915_drv.h?  I checked ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git but it's not there02:52
nigel_cFeisty, Gutsy and Hardy all have it.02:54
nigel_c(Haven't checked earlier ones)02:54
macoit's gone in intrepid?02:55
nigel_cNot there in my git trees.02:56
maco:-/ i wonder where those macros moved in 2.6.2702:56
macook ill look through lxr02:56

maconigel_c: thanks02:57
nigel_cYou're welcome03:04
NCommanderlamont, I'd like to have my ubuntu-jaunty-ports branch blessed as the offical jaunty ports branch since there is no existing jaunty ports branch, and I'd like to be able to upload it (with the kernel teams blessing)05:24

lamontand I'd like a installable 2.6.27 for ia6406:34
lamontand iwl4965.ko for intrepid/i38606:34
lamontinterestingly, iwl4965=y in config06:37
NCommanderhey lamont 06:55
NCommanderlamont, well, it compiles on ia64, but the box I have access to I don't own thus I can't even smoke test the kernels06:56
lamontthe final intrepid kernel was ftbfs06:56
lamontso my ia64 box here running intrepid has 2.6.24 :(06:56
NCommanderlamont, I'm talking jaunty06:56
* NCommander has a 2.6.27.4 ports branch w/ apparmour and Ubuntu drivers added06:57
NCommanderEven AuFS, though it needs some porting on ia6406:57
NCommanderIt builds on all port architectures (I just got sparc building tonight)06:57
lamontand for total amusement, my laptop works just fine with a livecd, not so fine with the hardy system upgraded to intrepid06:57
NCommanderWhat architecture is your laptop ;-)06:59
lamontdell inspiron 1520 == iwl4965, running i386 kernel06:59
NCommanderlamont, if you could smoke test my ia64 2.6.27.4 ports kernel, I'd apperiate it06:59
NCommanderlamont, try blacklisting iwl4965, and using iwlagn06:59
lamontthat'll happen at some point after I get a working laptop06:59
lamontiwlagn is what loads07:00
* NCommander notes someone needs to go through the config for ia64 and sanity checking07:00
NCommanderMost of the things that should be built as modules aren't, the upshot that virtually no udebs are being built07:00
NCommanderI dunno what hardware is present or not on most ia64s, so all I did was blacklist every udeb that didn't have a module compiled for it (i.e., ppp/slip/etc.)07:01
NCommanderTHe upshot is I bet the installer is going to be completely hosed until someone can look at it07:01
* lamont notes that he is totally ignoring ia64 tonight07:02
NCommanderlamont, HPPA w/ 2.6.27.4 also builds and gets udebs07:02
lamontditto07:02
NCommander:-)07:02
NCommandersparc?07:03
lamonttonight is: 1) fix laptop.  2) sleep07:03
* NCommander runs for cover07:03
NCommanderAh07:04
* NCommander needs to simply find what the kernel team wants before I find a sponsor for the ports kernel upload I want to do07:04
NCommandermorning abogani 07:17

Kanohi, how about adding a 2.6.28 based git tree?11:25
sebnerhi folks! is there any progress in getting the proposed fixes uploaded/What's needed for it?  bug #28331612:02
sebnerno bot? :\12:03
* lamont cries a little. sleep made things different... now I have no ethernet: eth0: Broadcom 44xx/47xx 10/100BaseT Ethernet 00:... is missing12:57
rtglamont: forcedeth?13:05
lamontmodule version missmatch for the win13:05

lamontssb_dma_set_mask etc, etc.13:06
lamont2.6.27-7.14 and .1513:06
lamontand it was me sleeping for a while, not the laptop. :(13:07
rtgoh, b44 which is dependent on SSB13:07
lamontand linux-b-m-g installed a new ssb.ko13:08
lamontbut not a new b44.ko13:09
rtglamont: do you mean lbm-intrepid?13:09
lamontwell, yeah13:09
lamontonce you dig through to l-b-m-2.6.27-7-generic :-)13:09
lamontcould I maybe have a working wireless _AND_ b44?13:09
rtglamont: ok, I remember this from Hardy. Can you start a LP report?13:10

lamontsure13:10
rtglamont: yes, as long as the wireless isn't b43.13:10

lamontthe wireless is iwl496513:10
rtglamont: I was gonna upload a new LBM today anyway. your timing is good.13:10

lamontso... against what source package?13:11
rtgjust linux-backports-modules13:11
rtglamont: be sure to assign me to it13:12

lamontrtg: already reported as 287450, now assigned to y13:16
lamontou13:16
lamontrtg: scream if you need more13:16
lamontmeanwhile, working wireless is actually more important than working wired.  so I guess that's a win13:19
rtglamont: well, I ought to be able to get both working. 13:27
lamontheh. ok.  if you need a tester, happy to help with that once I make the transition to town in a bit13:28
rtglamont: I think I have a b44 in my quiver of laptops13:29
lamontinspiron 1520, fwiw 13:29
rtglamont: cool. I'll bug you later this morning once I've got it uploaded (assuming wireless testing goes ok)13:31

apwrtg, hiya13:55
apwyou remember that sound thing, the crackling on alsa oss working one ... well i redid all my testing against the updated intrepid kernel and the problem is still there and again my home build module is working fine whereas the 'standard' one is not13:56
apwyou mentioned you had some issues with previously working laptops and i was wondering which ones they were13:56
rtgapw: you talked to me about this? If so, I don't remember. Is there a bug number?13:57
apwit was around the release so i can understand forgetting :)  bug #27357813:58
rtgapw: if OSS works, how does that make it a kernel issue? Seems more like ALSA library problems, perhaps pulseaudio?14:03
rtgapw: the other thing to look at is if there were quirks for your codec that went missing between Hardy and Intrepid14:04
apwrtg i agree the oss thing is confusing, but literally recompiling the module seems to make it work14:22
apwno other change, to userspace ... so something odd is going on for sure14:22
apwi can't see any quirks going away since 2.6.24 mainline14:23
rtgapw: can you get the same result by restarting pulseaudio ?14:25
apwnothing i did to pulse audio seemed to help at all14:26
rtgapw: 'killall pulseaudio; /usr/bin/pulseaudio -D --log-target=syslog' ?14:28
apwyep, that had no effect iirc, i can go reinstall the bad module and re-test if thats helpful14:29
rtgapw: the fact that you are getting any sound output at all indicates its probably not a kernel issue, especially if you are getting interrupts. run the sound test and watch /proc/interrupts for steady increases in IRQ count.14:30
rtgapw: also, describe in the bug report _exactly_ what you are doing wrt recompiling and insmod'ing etc.14:31
apwwill add that info to the bug, but litterally just built it using fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic14:32
apwand copied the built version out of the debian directory into /lib/modules14:32
rtgapw: thats the part that doesn't make sense to me. why would a recompile have any effect?14:32
apwindeed, its completely illogical as i recall you went to try rebuilding a kernel youself14:33
apwas i was compiling on a 64 bit install14:33
apwwith a different compiler from you, something like that14:33
apwwill go redo that test with pulse audio and write up what i have done here14:34
rtgapw: thanks14:34

jcastroogasawara: ~25 minutes until your session!16:35
ogasawarajcastro: thanks :)  I totally forgot about daylight savings being a factor so I would have been late!16:36
jcastroogasawara: yeah that's been going around, I'm just doublechecking people just in case. :D16:36
didrocksrtg: apprently your advice correct the "too hot wifi card bug". I put a commentary. Thanks a lot and keep me in touch if you need more advanced tests16:39
rtgdidrocks: I'll be updating LBM again later this morning, so watch for regressions.16:40
didrocksrtg: ok, I will16:42
didrocksrtg: basically, what was the cause of the issue? Too many calls to the Wi-Fi card?16:43
rtgdidrocks: dunno. I didn't have time to drill that deep.16:43
didrocksrtg: ok. the most important is that it is corrected :)16:44
drunkenkillahello17:22
drunkenkillai can't regulate the screen brightness... is this a problem, which can be solved with the next kernel-version?17:23
didrocksrtg: I think that finally, it didn't fixed it17:54

didrocksthen, I tried to switch back in a wired connexion17:55

TomJaegerSo about bug #276990...21:51
TomJaegerCan this patch please be applied to the intrepid kernel? http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=55d6a3cd0cc85ed90c39cf32e16f622bd003117b21:52
rtgTomJaeger: try linux-backports-modules21:54
TomJaegerThe patch is clearly 100% safe and in any case has gotten some testing in linux-backports-modules21:54
TomJaegerrtg: Not everybody knows about linux-backports-modules21:55
TomJaegerplus, the iwlagn module in linux-backports-modules generates all kinds of additional kernel oopses21:55
TomJaegerI'm completely dumbfounded by this.  Why exactly are we exposing users to a module that is known to cause kernel panics when there is a one-line patch upstream working around the problem?22:00
TomJaegerAnd if we care about stability, why on earth would we recommend anyone to install a random daily snapshot of compat-wireless?22:01
TomJaegerAnd is it really to much to ask to set the importance of this bug to High?22:03
rtgTomJaeger: how about posting a request to kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com lest I lose track of all the damn wireless bugs?22:09
trvdoes anybody know why linux-image-debug in intrepid is for 2.6.25 kernel and not 2.6.27? i want to find the vmlinux file for the current kernel22:22
TomJaegerrtg: done22:32
TomJaegerIt's kind of sad that I have to spend my time arguing for something so obvious but here you go22:34
