| SiDi | hi people | 15:11 |
|---|---|---|
| SiDi | Does anyone mind telling me if theres an "official" PPA for the latest kernels ? | 15:12 |
| dandel | !bug 338701 | 15:28 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 338701 in linux "acpi_irq is not set properly." [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/338701 | 15:28 |
| ubot3 | Factoid bug 338701 not found | 15:28 |
| dandel | I got that bug bisected, and it was a pain ( took over 40 kernel compiles to pinpoint which file and patch caused the break ) | 15:30 |
| dandel | SiDi, Do you know how to build the kernel yourself? (it's rather painless once you get used to it ) | 15:34 |
| SiDi | dandel: i never compiled a kernel :) | 15:34 |
| dandel | want to learn? | 15:34 |
| dandel | After all, knowing how to compile it makes it much faster for yourself to run a bisect to pinpoint where something broke ><; (if it does ) | 15:35 |
| SiDi | what you said is really reassuring me :] | 15:35 |
| dandel | Do you want vinilla kernel or ubuntu kernel ? | 15:36 |
| SiDi | Ubuntu :P | 15:37 |
| SiDi | Let's not take too many risks | 15:37 |
| dandel | SiDi, vinilla kernel is "better" to test against, because that is what all the other distributions pull. | 15:38 |
| SiDi | Alright then | 15:38 |
| SiDi | anyways, if its an epic failure i'll go back to my current one :) | 15:38 |
| dandel | yea. | 15:38 |
| * dandel gets list of packes to install. | 15:39 | |
| dandel | ok, the packages listed here are very useful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 15:40 |
| SiDi | Reasons for NOT compiling : You have no idea what you are doing. Thats totally me | 15:41 |
| SiDi | i'll ping you when i'm ready :) got an apt-get already running for at least half an hour :X | 15:41 |
| dandel | oh, and do you have git-core installed too? | 15:42 |
| SiDi | i got git yeh | 15:44 |
| dandel | after you get the required compile tools, pick a directory and run this command to get the kernel code for vinilla... git clone linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git | 15:46 |
| SiDi | ack | 15:46 |
| dandel | Oh, once you have the git, it's actually fairly fast to update to latest code :D | 15:47 |
| SiDi | Well, my bandwidth is all but fast :] | 15:47 |
| dandel | I understand. | 15:47 |
| dandel | the clone always takes the most time. | 15:47 |
| dandel | however, the when the update is ran, which is "git pull", it takes a lot less time. | 15:49 |
| * SiDi uses Git for other projects :p | 15:49 | |
| dandel | I only have maybe 5 commands total i use to build the kernel each revision, and 2 of those are to simply put it in the boot manager. | 15:54 |
| SiDi | Is there a laptop kernel flavour btw ? | 15:54 |
| dandel | the laptop kernel flavor is the kernel itself :P | 15:55 |
| dandel | The kernel actually has no differences between laptop and desktop, although server might have some slight tweaks on how it's configured. | 15:56 |
| SiDi | okey :) | 15:57 |
| dandel | I was actually testing my laptop the past 3 or 4 days with various revisions on the vanilla kernel. | 15:58 |
| apw | there are some vanilla kernel .debs in the kernel-team site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds | 15:59 |
| dandel | ah, APW, just the person i wanted to see. | 16:00 |
| * apw becomes transparent | 16:00 | |
| dandel | har har... I got the bug which i was working on finally pinpointed to the exact patch. | 16:00 |
| SiDi | apw: thanks :D | 16:01 |
| apw | dandel, sounds good | 16:01 |
| dandel | Yea, but when i unroll that patch, the acpi works again, but it undoes what that patch is supposed to do. | 16:01 |
| apw | thats a start at least | 16:02 |
| dandel | does the bot have commit patch info support? | 16:02 |
| apw | dunno, never thoought to test that | 16:03 |
| dandel | Oh well, here's the patch details though (this one breaks my acpi)... http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=729b2bdbfa19dd9be98dbd49caf2773b3271cc24 | 16:04 |
| apw | you added that to the bug? | 16:04 |
| apw | and which bug? | 16:04 |
| dandel | !bug 338701 | 16:04 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 338701 in linux "acpi_irq is not set properly." [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/338701 | 16:04 |
| ubot3 | Factoid bug 338701 not found | 16:05 |
| apw | doh silly ubot3 | 16:05 |
| dandel | Yea, well, on the kernel bugzilla, it's bug 12873 | 16:05 |
| ubot3 | dandel: Error: Could not parse data returned by Malone: The read operation timed out | 16:05 |
| dandel | I did an unroll patch against 2.6.30-rc4 and it fixed it | 16:06 |
| dandel | I'm not exactly a happy camper because this bug took 4 days worth of commit testing and compiles to pinpoint. (which was 42 compiles from last count) | 16:09 |
| apw | dandel, that commit pointed there is a merge of a bunch of things, did you have a more specific sha1? | 16:18 |
| dandel | Actually, yes. | 16:20 |
| dandel | look at the actaully link to the kernel.org patch i pasted in irc 15 min ago. | 16:20 |
| apw | ahh yes ... | 16:21 |
| apw | we need that in the bug too so its not lost | 16:22 |
| dandel | recheck the page, i posted the git report. | 16:23 |
| apw | thanks ... hmmm | 16:23 |
| dandel | I think it's possibly related to the fact this laptop might be able to wake up from sleep if the battery is low. | 16:24 |
| SiDi | Hey again | 16:59 |
| dandel | hi. | 16:59 |
| SiDi | dandel: thanks for your links. i'll hack my kernel later, i forgot i needed a stable machine for an oral exam in a few weeks :) | 16:59 |
| Balrog_ | Hi ... is Ubuntu's 2.6.28 kernel supposed to work with the Compaq Armada M700? I get this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346889 | 19:10 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 346889 in linux-meta "Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6 (Kernel 2.6.28) crashes Compaq Armada M700 during boot-up." [Undecided,New] | 19:10 |
| Balrog_ | anyone wants to help figure out what's going on? | 19:11 |
| dandel | Darling, have you tried booting and seeing if any crashes/warnings occur during boot? | 19:18 |
| Balrog_ | Yes ... seems to crash on drivers | 19:19 |
| dandel | Can you get the log and put that up? | 19:20 |
| Balrog_ | How would I get the log? It crashes early in the boot process | 19:21 |
| dandel | Second computer. | 19:21 |
| dandel | and also check to see if /var/log/dmesg.1 exists i think. | 19:22 |
| Balrog_ | it hangs for a while at "Loading hardware drivers," then hangs for good at "Loading manual drivers" | 19:22 |
| Balrog_ | I'll get the logs ... they're located in /var/log under what names? | 19:23 |
| dandel | /var/log/dmesg.1 or /var/log/dmesg.0 or something like that might have it | 19:23 |
| Balrog_ | ok. | 19:23 |
| Balrog_ | give me a few minutes | 19:23 |
| Balrog_ | dandel: I have logs | 19:30 |
| dandel | ok... put those up | 19:30 |
| Balrog_ | dandel: it's crashing before anything gets logged | 19:32 |
| dandel | hmm | 19:33 |
| dandel | try building the kernel 2.6.29 or 2.6.30-rc4 kernel and see if that works. | 19:35 |
| dandel | I looked at the spec for that laptop, have you tried another distribution's boot disk with a 2.6.28 kernel or newer? | 19:38 |
| apw | i think they have tries 2.6.29.1 from the kernel-ppa | 19:39 |
| Balrog_ | OK. I'll be away for a bit. | 19:40 |
| Balrog_ | dandel: and apw: 2.6.29.2 crashes :) | 20:33 |
| Balrog_ | :( * | 20:33 |
| Balrog_ | I think I'm going back to Intrepid | 20:33 |
