=== Lure_ is now known as Lure [09:14] cluk what is broken about it? was it mising the asm directory, that was an issue triggered by a bad find upload === Nicke_ is now known as Nicke === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [12:17] smb, you have a thinkpad with hardy, can you check if the thinkpad/thinkvantage key produces an X keysym. using xev you should see that key produce XF86Launch1 [12:25] all, today is one of our regular kernel bug days ... come play with our fun bugs, free erm karma to those who help :) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/BugDay/20090512 [13:19] Just returned [13:19] apw, the key does not produce events by default [13:20] apw, The problem, iirc, is that the acpi events arrive but are mapped to a keyboard key that is normally not existent (with fakekey) So the keyboard driver ignores is [13:20] it [13:42] smb, ok so that is officially still broken in hardy [13:43] apw, Yeah, and it actually was some deliberate change from upstream to ignore non-existent keys. This is where fakekey has its limit and the drivers in general should use input-events [13:43] But thats probably a too big change for hardy [13:43] yeah ... fair enough ... [15:07] morning [15:07] we need a topic update.. === amitk_ changed the topic of #ubuntu-kernel to: "KERNEL BUG DAY 12-May-2009 | Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | Kernel Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam | Latest news: Released 2.6.28 kernel for Jaunty/9.04. | Kernel git trees: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git | Latest kernel upload: 2.6.28-12.43 based on 2.6.28.10 final" === amitk_ is now known as amitk [15:26] smb, on this thinkpad, does the command 'setkeycodes e073 148' sort out your thinkpad key thing? so its seen in Xev ? [15:27] apw, confirmed [15:27] smb so we have a work around for hardy and intrepid [15:28] no point in updating those two to fix something we have a simple work around for imo [15:29] apw, Yeah, as it is long ago I am not sure I remember correctly, there had been some notes that this keycode you set might be in use by another key. But in general, yes [15:29] when you say its visible, is it visible carrying the XF86Launch1 key symbol? [15:30] smb, ^^ [15:32] Hm, don't see it: [15:32] KeyPress event, serial 30, synthetic NO, window 0x4800001, [15:32] root 0x88, subw 0x0, time 25518768, (110,79), root:(1400,134), [15:32] state 0x0, keycode 159 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES, [15:32] XLookupString gives 0 bytes: [15:32] XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: [15:32] XFilterEvent returns: False [15:34] smb, what does 'xmodmap -pk | grep Launch1' say [15:34] "" [15:35] hrm [15:48] * apw notes that the current rate he will finish his 20 bug day bugs by about 2 am [15:48] how are other people doing? [15:50] apw, similar [15:51] * apw has reached 6 after 8 hours ... not good [15:51] ok 7 hours [17:44] * apw actually gets to the bottom of his list of bugs [17:44] * apw pokes a couple of community ones for 'fun' [17:57] apw, Hrmpf, how did you do that? [18:00] smb_tp, once you get to the Incompletes if they have been asked for feedback like a year ago by leann i felt happy closing them asking for a reopen if it stille xisted [18:01] and most of my incompletes were like that [18:01] the highs near killed me [18:01] maybe I should jump to the incompletes and get back to the highs later... === mdomsch is now known as mdomsch_food === mdomsch_food is now known as mdomsch [18:59] hi , i have a small problem related to initrd and I was hpoing someone could shed some light [19:00] Im looking to change the usplash theme but I cant exactly do an update initramfs -d becauyse I have separated ubuntu because im doing a pxe boot [19:00] when I say separated [19:00] I mean one part is vmlinuz and initrd , the other part is a squashfs file downloaded via http [19:01] when I simply replace the .so file , ubuntu moans at boot up that it cant find a usplash theme [19:01] that will work with my resol [19:01] however with the default .so file , it doesnt complain [19:01] I changed the file , repacked initrd with cpio and gzip , but still im missing something to make it all work [19:01] any ideas someone ? [19:02] please ? :O [19:03] names [19:04] filenames you mean ? [19:04] devel0: the /etc/alternatives/usplash-artwork.so symlink is used to select which .so to pack into the initramfs cpoio [19:04] I was aware of that but why cant i just have the default usplash-artwork.so in /usr/lib/usplash/ ? [19:06] I'm stil not completely following the problem, can you try explaining it in a different way (what's "resol") ? [19:07] btw, for future reference, usplash doesn't have anything to do with the kernel. It runs entirely in userspace [19:07] yeah i know , i just thought that maybe since this is a boot issue I could get a helping hand from you guys [19:08] basically I have initrd.gz outside the distro and i use pxe to boot it with vmlinuz (ubuntu's kernel), then I have a squashfs file which contains the root filesystem [19:08] I cant do an update-initramfs on my initrd.gz file , I can only pack it again with cpio and gzip [19:08] or maybe I can via the live boot [19:08] hmmm [19:08] brb [19:08] :D === maco_ is now known as maco [19:46] hi there [19:47] can someone help me with a self compiled kernel? i have an error like "sata link down" during boot [19:48] sladen [19:48] I cant get round it [19:48] I was wondering if you could help [19:48] is there someone that can explain what integration the usplash .so file has with the initrd archive ? [19:48] beyond the fact that it sits inside it [19:56] hello? [19:57] noone here, who can help me? [20:09] devel0: no integration, other than getting copied in there by /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/usplash [20:09] devel0: initramfs is flexible enough that the same initramfs should do you for PXE and non-PXE boot IIRC. [20:10] im boggled as to why it complains only by replacing the .so [20:10] devel0: best place to ask would be the LTSP / Edubuntu people [20:10] when i replace the .so file , i get a failed to init screen init thingy [20:10] oh [20:10] devel0: where did you get this new .so from? [20:12] i tried many [20:12] i tried kubuntus for example [20:12] edubuntus , and a few others [20:12] even custom ones from the net [20:12] i dont get it , seriously im puzzled , i just went through the script in the initramfs tools that is used to copy usplash [20:12] I do the same thing but manually [20:12] this is crazy :) [20:16] remember that the theme is a loadable executable file. Is it built to the same version as the usplash itself. [20:16] this is why my query about "where did you get it" [20:16] exactly how did you install this other usplash theme? [20:16] omg does the so file have to match the libusplash.so ver ? [20:17] did you compile it yourself. Does it work with the test script [20:17] devel0: uh huh. [20:17] brb :) [20:17] is there a way to know what ver was used to build an so ? [20:18] dpkg -l | grep usplash [20:19] and apt-cache show usplash-theme-ubuntu says that it depends (it's compiled for) usplash (>= 0.5.30) [20:19] im trying something i didnt before [20:19] the simplest of things [20:19] making the so executable [20:19] hoping it might work [20:20] im not too sure the usplash version makes much of a difference [20:21] ok making the file exec didnt work [20:21] leme sync the versions [20:21] *blinks* [20:22] devel0: put simply if usplash and the library (theme) it is dlopening are not speaking the same language (the same ABI) then it's not going to work [20:23] devel0: just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-artwork-usplash if you want something else [20:27] just recompiled an .so [20:27] worked like a charm [20:27] :) [20:27] How can I thank you ? [20:28] * devel0 dances [22:38] anybody knows about boot sequence in a mixed IDE/SCSI situation at the point where root filesystem is loaded? [22:38] mounted that was [22:39] at least it is not insane as on #ubuntu [22:39] but looks quiet like in a grave [22:39] anybody alive here? [22:39] maaaaan, linux is a trip, i tellya [22:40] oki doki [22:50] yeah i know what you mean [22:50] when you say "linux is a trip" [22:50] :D [22:50] sorry I cant help
