mtaylormorning lovely people... intrepid doesn't seem to have linux-image-debug-* packages ... is there somewhere I should be looking new, or do I just suck?01:39
trichobezoarWhoa there now.01:40
* lifeless prods randomly01:42
lifelesslamont: ^ any idea re: mtaylors query?01:42
lamontI thought they wound up in universe or something01:43
mtaylormtaylor@drizzle-x4450:~$ apt-cache search linux-image-debug01:45
mtaylornothing01:45
lamontthey're certainly buildable...01:45
* mtaylor added the ddebs repos and all01:45
lamontbut no, I haven't been following the kernel build output for a while01:45
mtaylordarn01:48
* mtaylor just needs a vmlinux file for oprofile use :(01:49
mase_worki hey guys , can those mainline kernel ppa's be installed in intrepid ?03:46

Keybukstgraber: hey, around?11:05
Keybuksmb_tp: around?11:12
Kanohi, did anybody else notice that 2.6.30 does not boot when a dvb-c card is installed in the system11:12
Kanoi have in every system such a card, a bit bad to have to remove it when i want to test a new kernel...11:13
Kanobudget-av/saa7146_vv driver11:15
smb_tpKeybuk, back12:35
Kanohi rtg , i did some testing, on a system with 04:07.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Philips Semiconductors SAA7146 [1131:7146] (rev 01)13:19
Kano2.6.30 does never boot13:19
Kanowhen i remove it it does13:20
Keybuksmb_tp: bumped a bug over to you13:20
Keybukbackporting the libusual disabling to jaunty for -updates along with your other upload13:20
Kanoit is using normally budget-av driver13:20
rtgKano: find the maintainer and send him an email13:21
Kanoi think at this point there is not even the driver loaded when it stops13:22
Kanothe last thing it does is to init alsa hda drivers13:22
smb_tpKeybuk, Can you drop me the number here? I seem to miss that13:26
Keybuksmb_tp: bug #36453813:27
smb_tpKeybuk, Thanks13:27
smb_tpKeybuk, Poor guy named smb (which is unfortunately not me) ;-)13:28
Keybukahh13:31
Keybuklol13:31
apwsmb_tp, if i read this bug right then we are reporting the disk blank when there is no disk at all, that i believe should have failed at the TOC lookup which was done as a raw command14:20
smb_tpIs that going down to the scsi layer? I see a few drive status and drive id calls from the cdrom driver but have not enabled debugging for below14:22
smb_tpFrom there it prints "No DVD+RW" / Unlocking door!14:23
smb_tpOk, I just see that is normal exit path14:24
=== asac_ is now known as asac
smb_tpapw, cdrom_id seems to do two ioctls CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS and CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY (which it prints out). Hm, did I miss a switch. That is only generic capability info14:30
apwsmb_tp, yeah but the blank bit coms from a raw status request14:32
apwvia sg14:32
apwand from the output from their commands it appears to have given its capabilities ok14:33
apwie. said it does CD and DVD and the like14:33
smb_tpNope, with a disk in it enters CDROM_MEDIA_CHANGED and displays more info. So this drive is ok. Seems you are right14:33
apwie. its run the profiles command successfully14:33
apwwhich again is a raw command14:33
apwthen it asks for a TOC and then the media info14:34
smb_tpSo the drive itself returns unititialized data14:34
apwboth raw commands, i would have expected the former to have said something implying there is no disk14:34
=== JayFo is now known as JFo
apwsmb_tp, trying to decode the commands it is using now, well trying to find the spec to see what they contain as answers to see if we are missing anything that tells us its empty14:35
smb_tpapw, On know I had it somewhere. looking at t10.org14:36
apwhttp://ldkelley.com/SCSI2/SCSI2/SCSI2-14.html#14.2.11 is where i am reading14:37
ckingthat's useful to know14:37
* cking notes apw is now the scsi cd-rom expert14:38
* apw notes that cking is the expert in all things h/w14:39
apwand reassigns the bug to him14:39
ckingheh14:39
cking..I'm just a bit twiddler, not a SCSI guru14:40
apwif i am reading the cdrom_id code right its saying "what can you do" and getting the CD/DVD bits back, then saying "give me the TOC from the disk" and its getting something valid enough not to explode, then moves on to saying "tell me about it" and thats going wrong as there really iusn't anything in the drive14:41
apwwhich implies to me the TOC result is unexpected in content14:41
smb_tpIs there any inquiry command to test the drive status ?14:41
cking..is this H/W related? What about checking the ISO image in kvm or similar14:42
apwsmb_tp, yeah it did that before hand14:44
smb_tpSo it seems on the drive I am looking at, the exit works. If I eject the disc it won't go further than generic caps14:44
apwcking, yeah i believe there are a specific couple of cdroms which exhibits this behaviour14:45
apwsmb_tp, yeah think thats right.  it does the toc command and gets an error14:45
apw(TOC is a raw scsi command in this case)14:45
apwsmb_tp, actually if you look at the bug itself it seems pitti may have picked up something from upstream for cdrom_id to fix this14:46
apwso all this may be moot14:46
smb_tpyeah maybe. FYI, the drive here exist with current profile 0x00, assuming no media14:47
apwwhich makes sense14:47
apwjust looking at the change from pitti14:47
rtgcking: do you have a mini-9 ?15:01
ckingrtg: nope15:02
ckingshould I?15:02
smb_tpcking, You are supposed to have a sample of _everything_ ;-)15:03
cking..what kind of samples are we talking about? :-)15:04
ikepanhcrtg: ok, but I have to do it tomorrow, I can not pick others desk for a mini-9 :P15:19
rtgikepanhc: ok, I'll ask one of the bug reporters.15:20
ikepanhcI need to go home, if any test result, I will post on launchpad15:22
amitkrtg: what is the magic git ref-log incantation you use to compare commits between two branches?16:23
=== zul_ is now known as zul
rtgamitk: I generally just create two log files of commits, e.g., 'git log --pretty=oneline' , then sort and diff for unique log messages16:24
amitkrtg: aah. I thought you'd gone hi-tech with git foo from apw 16:25
rtgamitk: there might be a cooler way to do it, but this one I can remember :)16:25
apwamitk, you can try and use git log --left-right A...B16:26
apwnote that that is three dots16:27
amitkapw: k, thanks16:27
* cking scribbles down more git magic16:27
apwthe < and > at the front tell you which branch they are on16:28
bryceapw: heya, I'm putting together a ppa for debugging X freeze issues18:25
bryceapw: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-freeze-test18:25
apwbryce, i saw something zap by me about that.  though i seem to think ihave to run some rather not what we are shipping kernel to get the features, right?18:26
bryceapw: I think it would simplify things a little for users if the 2.6.30-rc2 kernel was included in that ppa18:26
bryceapw: that's right18:26
apwyeah it would help i recon18:26
bryceapw: currently I'm linking to a kernel ppa for people to manually snag the debs for that kernel18:26
bryceis there a place I could grab the .dsc, etc. for 2.6.30-rc2 so I could copy it into this ppa?18:27
apwit never gets made into a source package per-see when making those, as currently ppas don't allow us to have a series of versions18:27
apwits likely they are deficient in some way for uploading18:28
apwi can cirtainly try and make one tho for that specific package18:28
brycethat would be very helpful, thanks!18:29
bryceyeah I know ppa's are braindead for doing series... I have quite a love/hate relationship with them18:29
bryceapw: fwiw, with X, I have a similar situation where I need multiple builds of -intel for different bugs, containing different patches; I ended up just creating multiple ppa's, one for each bug18:30
bryceapw: have you guys thought about mounting debugfs /sys/kernel/debug by default?  (Or is that more of a platform team decision?)18:45
bryceseems like there's lots of useful info there, that would be nice to make available for testers and bug reporters, at least during the development period18:46
rtgpgraner: kernel uploaded for LP 364678 "Globetrotter 3g modem not seen"18:57
