[02:44] <pwnguin> dandel: intrepid or jaunty?
[02:45] <pwnguin> dandel: fwiw, my laptop acpi keys work today, they didnt a few datys ago
[02:55] <dandel> intrepid/jaunty from hardy
[02:55] <dandel> i used the jaunty kernel on intrepid and the keys worked.
[02:55] <dandel> however when i do a suspend it kicks out almost always and the battery power don't always read the status right.
[02:56] <dandel> i posted the bug details too, i checked everything, and some change in how interrupts where handled caused this.
[03:00] <dandel> i even included the traceback i got during boot too... 1 sec... going to boot up the laptop, is the update path from 8.10 to 9.04 cleared to not fail in any manner?
[03:02] <dandel> oh, and when i turn the laptop off with shutdown on the 2.6.27 and 2.6.28 kernels it resets the system
[05:55] <dandel> ok... 2.6.28-5 disables irq9 on me... with the latest dev files.
[06:17] <dandel> and suspend is just as broken as ever.

[07:11] <dandel> i got the update done, to the 2.6.28 kernel, however regression is still there on suspend

[10:35] <Ng> (I spied apw mention a similar thing elsewhere around the same time popey mentioned it ;)
[10:37] <apw> popey, ?
[10:38] <apw> yeah i am whining about it
[10:39] <apw> popey, ahhh ... yes your bug is a dup
[10:39] <dballester> hi to all
[10:40] <apw> popey, bug #306310
[10:40] <ubot3> Malone bug 306310 in linux "Resume (from memory) goes back to sleep automatically" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/306310
[10:40] <dballester> I'm using desktop ubuntu 8.10 kernel 2.6.27-9-generic x86_64, looking for /proc/sys/vm/page_cache and doesn't exist. Do you know if you use any patch invalidating the user to modify the % of memory usable as cache?
[10:41] <dballester> or have you introduced a new way to do it?
[10:41] <dballester> thanks
[10:43] <popey> thanks apw 
[10:44] <apw> i did a fair bit of analysis on it and on my laptop there seem to be two separate buttons pressed, and and xevent detected.  i suspect if you get 'only' two suspends for each press, that you get one hal key and one xevent
[10:45] <apw> you should find things ok if you use user-switcher menu to suspend
[10:52] <apw> popey, could you test the user-switcher suspend
[10:53] <popey> ok
[10:54] <popey> yes, thats fine
[10:55] <apw> perfect, so it does sound exactly like the one i have marked it dup of
[10:55] <apw> i am not convinced it is a kernel issue.  or i should say its possible that getting two hardware keys like i do for a triple suspend may well be
[10:56] <apw> but i think there is an interaction between X and hal which is triggering the remaining (your only) two suspends
[10:57] <popey> would xev tell me if I'm getting two events?
[13:39] <LimCore> hi
[13:39] <LimCore> it seems that sata performance is epically low in some ubuntu kernels. I get x10 slower time transfer (6 MB/s) then normal for this hard drive (60 mb/s)... Any chance to have this fixed soon?

[17:33] <klotz> I have installed linux-crashdump in Intrepid and am getting "memory not reserved" on reboot; I would like to debug a kernel crash.  I have searched launchpad.  Can anyone help me validate my linux-crashdump procedure?
[18:12] <CarlFK1> klotz: I have no idea what crashdump is, but do you know about netconsole?
[18:12] <CarlFK1> (sounds like it may be the same)
[18:13] <CarlFK1> klotz: on buggy box: modprobe netconsole netconsole="@/,@192.168.1.155/"
[18:14] <klotz> linux-crashdump preserves vmcore after a crash and lets you analyze it; I am filing a bug on it not working and will post bug number here.  But thanks for news on netconsole.  I will read up on it; perhaps there is some dmesg output being lost.  Thank you CarlFKl.
[18:15] <CarlFK1> on 192.168.1.155 box: $ netcat -u -l -p 1133
[18:17] <klotz> Thanks I will do that, CarlFK1.  Bug for linux-crashdump installation is 321970.
[18:26] <klotz> CarlFK1 I used "@/,6892@192.168.x.y/" since I wasn't sure 1133 was default port or not. thanks!
[18:26] <CarlFK1> did it dump anything?
[18:27] <klotz> No output from netcat yet.  modprobe succeeded.  dmesg says "network logging started"
[18:27] <CarlFK1> whoops, 1133 isn't...  6666 is :0

[23:44] <JesperHansen> Is it possible to compile the Atheros 802.11 from module-assistant? If yes, then what is the name of the wireless card in MA?
[23:45] <maxb> JesperHansen: "the Atheros 802.11"? You mean the ath5k driver?
[23:45] <maxb> Or possibly ath9k
[23:45] <maxb> or possibly even madwifi
[23:46] <JesperHansen> ye... Perhaps one of them. I only see the alias in Hardware Drivers
[23:48] <maxb> ok, well, first up: Which release of Ubuntu are you using? And then, why do you want to compile it?
[23:49] <JesperHansen> 8.10 and I want to use the 2.6.28 kernel tree so I can get ext4, so I can get rid of the intense fsync() hang in firefox on sqlite commits
[23:51] <maxb> I'm not aware of an m-a packaging of the module but if you are building your own kernel, why not just build the atheros module as part of it?
[23:52] <JesperHansen> atheros module is in the 2.6.28 tree?
[23:53] <maxb> Well, it's certainly in the 2.6.28 jaunty kernel, which I assume means its in the standard tree
[23:53] <mjg59> Yes, ath5k and ath9k are both in .28
[23:55]  * JesperHansen sets in for a compile
