[09:58] <Keybuk> cking: heh, the only documentation I could find about ioctl (FIBMAP) was your blog! :D
[09:59] <cking> now that's amusing :-)
[09:59] <cking> glad the blog is doing something useful :-)
[10:00] <Keybuk> (we use it for sorting the readahead lists on rotary hard drives)
[10:03] <cking> Keybuk, does it work on all filesystems in a sane manner?
[10:12] <Keybuk> cking: it works on ext[34]
[10:12] <Keybuk> and seems to work on btrfs
[10:12] <Keybuk> that's *all* I care about ;)
[13:50] <apw> smb, you have a bug which is about the wrong kernel getting selected as the next kernel when a kernel is installed
[13:50] <apw> can you remember the #
[13:51] <smb> apw, I remember there was one. But I have to dig for it
[13:51] <apw> if it takes more than a minute, don't bother i don't need it for anything other than a comment
[13:53] <smb> apw, must be bug 364029
[13:53] <ubot3> Malone bug 364029 in linux "boots into busybox with 2.6.28-11-generic kernel." [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/364029
[13:54] <smb> apw, It is not directly about selecting the wrong kernel, but related to what is in the / link
[13:54] <apw> right but thats the one thanks
[14:42] <Keybuk> rtg_: when's the next kernel upload scheduled for?
[14:43] <rtg_> Keybuk, gotta wait until after A3 is done. Friday perhaps?
[14:43] <Keybuk> ok
[14:43] <Keybuk> that works for me
[15:04] <rtg_> apw, do you know how the LKML tip-bot works?
[15:04] <apw> rtg_, not explicitly but i assume its reporting on the tip tree as people add branches there
[15:22] <amitk> rtg_: have you considered patchwork for our ML? http://ozlabs.org/~jk/projects/patchwork/
[15:26] <rtg_> amitk, have you used patchwork ?
[15:27] <amitk> rtg_: not personally. But it is used on several lists nowadays including the OMAP list
[15:28] <rtg_> amitk, ok, I'll get on my list of things to think about.
[15:28] <amitk> and netdev
[15:28] <amitk> http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/netdev/list/
[15:28] <amitk> rtg_: you can put it on the bottom of you TODO pile. But it looked interesting...
[15:29] <rtg_> amitk, if davem is using it, then it likely has some merit. he reviews a boatload of patches.
[15:30] <amitk> rtg_: more than review, it is useful to ensure that patches posted to the list are not lost
[16:04] <Keybuk> how clever do we think the kernel's I/O scheduler is?
[16:41] <dinh> \n
[16:45] <apw> Keybuk, better than it was before karmic
[16:46] <Keybuk> ;)
[17:47] <apw> weekly meeting in 10 mins
[17:59] <apw> *** kernel meeting starting over on #ubuntu-meeting
[17:59] <apw> a
[22:40] <Athunye> Hello.
[22:40] <Athunye> When I have to pass boot options to the kernel, should I remove the -- that are in the end of the line?
[22:43] <manjo> Athunye, are you doing it on the grub edit line ? 
[22:47] <Athunye> manjo: I'm editing the line. Although, my ubuntu does not show my Ethernet card in lspci, and wireless is detected but does not connect. 
[22:48] <Athunye> So, I'm looking for boot options that could help me on this issue...
[22:48] <manjo> Athunye, are you already booted into the system ? 
[22:48] <manjo> what version of ubuntu are u running (please tell me atleast jaunty :)  )
[22:49] <Athunye> Yes. Jaunty. I'm using the live cd now.
[22:50] <Athunye> Wireless tries to connect for about 40 seconds and then gives up, saying that I'm disconnected...
[22:50] <manjo> can you do lspci -vvnn | less ? 
[22:50] <manjo> look for Network Controller 
[22:52] <Athunye> Bradcom BCM4312
[22:52] <manjo> ah crap
[22:52] <Athunye> I already had it working, but I had to reinstall the system...
[22:53] <Athunye> It worked out of the box before. (the wireless card at least)
[22:53] <manjo> it should say in your lspci -vvnn Kernel modules:
[22:53] <manjo> see what driver it needs
[22:53] <manjo> and modprobe that driver 
[22:53] <Athunye> It uses wl
[22:53] <manjo> ok
[22:53] <manjo> lsmod | grep wl
[22:53] <Athunye> It is loaded.
[22:54] <manjo> hmmm
[22:54] <Athunye> Well, perhaps the problem is in the wireless router.
[22:54] <Athunye> and what about the Ethernet card?
[22:54] <Athunye> I know it is should use the module atl1c
[22:54] <manjo> ieee80211_crypt_tkip ? 
[22:55] <Athunye> Yes. It is loaded as well
[22:55] <manjo> what ethernet card do you have ? 
[22:56] <manjo> Ethernet controller: ? 
[22:56] <Athunye> When I still was able to see it in lspci it was Atheros L1C Gigabit Ethernet
[22:56] <Athunye> after I did an update-pciids
[22:56] <Athunye> Because it was being called attansic, wich is not the correct
[22:57] <manjo> hmm... you did an upgrade of jaunty ? 
[22:57] <Athunye> No. I tried a fresh install
[22:57] <manjo> did you install restricted modules ? 
[22:57] <Athunye> No, because I do not have connection
[22:57] <manjo> ah heh
[22:58] <manjo> hmm... 
[22:58] <Athunye> The only boot option I haven't tried yet is acpi=off
[22:58] <manjo> does the your wireless try to connect ? 
[22:58] <manjo> what does dmesg say ? 
[22:58] <Athunye> Yes.
[22:59] <Athunye> eth0: no ipv6 routers present
[23:00] <manjo> wlan0: ? 
[23:00] <Athunye> No. It gets called eth0 
[23:00] <Athunye> The other was called eth1
[23:02] <Athunye> I even tried karmic alpha 2
[23:02] <Athunye> I'm trying noapic
[23:02] <manjo> Athunye, what happens with alpha2 ? 
[23:03] <jjohansen> Athunye: have you tried disabling ipv6?
[23:03] <Athunye> No single card gets recognized.
[23:04] <Athunye> jjohansen: No. I don't know how to do that. :D
[23:04] <manjo> jjohansen, even mine says no ipv6 router .. that is normal message 
[23:04] <manjo> its bad if his card does not get recognized in karmic 
[23:04] <Athunye> It sure is. 
[23:04] <jjohansen> manjo: yeah, but I have seen people report turning it off make things magically happen
[23:04] <Athunye> I was hoping 2.6.30 would make things better.
[23:04] <manjo> jjohansen, oh!
[23:05] <manjo> Athunye, lets try turning off IPV6 sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[23:05] <manjo> Find the line: alias net-pf-10 ipv6
[23:05] <Athunye> Mandriva does get the wireless working.
[23:05] <manjo> change to
[23:05] <manjo> alias net-pf-10 off
[23:06] <manjo> or alias net-pf-10 off ipv6 rather 
[23:06] <manjo> and reboot
[23:06] <Athunye> Just a moment, please
[23:07] <jjohansen> actually I was thinking more ipv6.disable=1 in grub
[23:08] <manjo> apw, you know of the issue where Atheros  L1C Gigabit Ethernet not recognized in karmic ? 
[23:08] <manjo> jjohansen, heh or that 
[23:08] <manjo> Athunye, jjohansen's method is more straight fwd I think...
[23:09] <Athunye> Should I put that after title ... -generic. Am I right?
[23:11] <manjo> yeah you can put it before ro quiet splash
[23:11] <Athunye> And how coma 2.6.30 does not have wl?
[23:11] <Athunye> how come*
[23:12] <jjohansen> which 2.6.30?
[23:13] <Athunye> The .deb ones I tried to install (I could not compile because I could not eve install ncurses-devel run make menuconfig.
[23:14] <jjohansen> Athunye: hrmm from alpha2?
[23:14] <manjo> Athunye, linux-restricted-modules
[23:16] <Athunye> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30/
[23:17] <Athunye> It says "ignoring unknown option ipv6.disable=1
[23:17] <manjo> jjohansen, are you sure of that option ? 
[23:18] <jjohansen> manjo: hrmm, I know it exists in some kernels, I just assumed it was present
[23:18] <manjo> heh
[23:19] <Athunye> manjo: I don't have /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[23:20] <manjo> vi
[23:21] <Athunye> yes. I don't have that file.
[23:21] <jjohansen> how about  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6
[23:21] <manjo> alias net-pf-10 ipv6 off
[23:21] <manjo> alias net-pf-10 off
[23:21] <manjo> alias ivp6 off
[23:22] <Athunye> Waht about /etc/sysctl.conf?
[23:24] <manjo> once you reboot you can see if ipv6 is on by using the command " ip a | grep inet6 "
[23:24] <manjo> Athunye, you can also create a /etc/modprobe.d/bad_list 
[23:24] <manjo> with those lines 
[23:25] <jjohansen> you can add net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1 to /etc/sysctl.conf
[23:25] <manjo> in the bad_list file you can say alias net-pf-10 off
[23:25] <manjo> and reboot 
[23:25] <manjo> Athunye, either way .. so you have so many options now to turn off IPV6 :) more than you needed to know 
[23:28] <jjohansen> hrmm, doing a little googling turned this up http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/04/howto-disable-ipv6-at-ubuntu-jaunty.html
