LLStarksi'm having a problem with b44 loading in 2.6.31-1001:46
LLStarkscan someone help me?01:47
Q-FUNKhowdy!  would anyone know what broke KMS yesterday and how to fix it?09:01
smbQ-FUNK, There had been disturbances in the (buildd) force which broke things in general. I am currently checking whether it is better now09:10
Q-FUNKsmb: buildd and upstart, yes.09:11
Q-FUNKthis transition to event-based eveything is extremely ill-timed, to say the least.  it really should have been pushed to karmic+1.09:12
smbI agree, the timing was not ideal. It seems if you can do an upgrade using a chroot now, it seems to be at least in a usable state09:14
smbI saw some errors flying by but at least a gui comes up with a usable mouse09:14
smband bash09:14

Unggnuhi all12:11
UnggnuI just wanted to ask if someone can take a look at this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/42166212:12
ubot3Malone bug 421662 in linux "Dell Inspiron 1525 WLAN (Intel 3945) doesn't work with Ubuntu Kernel in Karmic [regression]" [Undecided,New] 12:12
UnggnuKarmic release isn't far away so I am worried :)12:12
UnggnuIt seems that the Ubuntu kernel thinks that WLAN is disabled while it is not. At least the mainline kernel and the old ones don't have this problem12:14
JanChm, I have a laptop with a 3945ABG wlan, but it's not a Dell12:33
UnggnuJanC, yes, someone else confirmed that it worked with his 394512:34
UnggnuI also need the backport modules in Hardy so I guess it is a special card :)12:35
JanCUnggnu: maybe different radio chip ?12:37
UnggnuIt was the standard model. You couldn't change it when you were ordering the Ubuntu Dell Notebook.12:38
UnggnuI would have prefered the 4945 or how it is called but it was not possible from Dell12:38
JanChm, main pci-id is the same, but yours is subsystem 8086:1021, mine is subsystem 8086:100112:40
UnggnuI guess we need another one with a Dell Inspiron 1525 and the same radio chip :)12:41
apwcjwatson, is ia64 ok for builds?  that one failed to build for chroot issues for .34, are we expecting admins to resubmit those or at this stage is it do your own?14:06
cjwatsonia64 is hosed14:07
cjwatsonpackage maintainers don't need to worry about it14:07
apwok thanks14:07
cjwatsonbasically, ignore ia64 for the time being, until somebody gets dbus ported14:08
cjwatsonhttp://launchpadlibrarian.net/29635553/buildlog_ubuntu-karmic-ia64.dbus_1.2.16-0ubuntu2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz14:08
cjwatsonalso, in general, you can ignore "chroot problem" as a failure - buildd admins will take care of that14:09
apwcjwatson, thanks for the info14:10
rtgapw, have you noticed if ccache is still working for you?14:11
apwcan't say i have noticed ...14:11
rtgon karmic, tha is14:11
* apw looks at his stats14:11
apwsmb, do you have karmic available for testing on your aspire one?14:32
apwwondering if the rfkill works ok on there14:32
smbapw, Yep, got a card with it. Should I upgrade it or not for the test?14:33
apwwouldn't need upgrading i don't think if its pretty recent14:33
smblets see14:34
* smb is booting14:34
smbLooks a bit old -9 kernel only14:34
smbapw, At least with that kernel I got wireless14:38
apwdoes rfkill work do you know14:39
smbThe physical switch or the command?14:39
smbIf I pull the wireless switch I loose connection but it is something hardware internal as it is not reflected in hard blocked state14:41
apwso the wireless disable switch works ok on yours ... with the default kernel14:42
apwand it comes back ok when you toggle it again?14:43
* smb just says goodbye to his card games adn updates14:43
smbapw, Right14:43
apwstrange, we have a patch to fix your machine which is not in karmic, and seems to apply14:43
smbIt acts a bit weird as the software is not notified (nm tries to reconnect like mad)14:43
apwyet you are ok without it, i guess i'll drop it then14:43
smbif you mean the patch to not do soft rfill in acer-wmi14:44
apwyeah that one14:44
smbupstream acer-wmi completely blacklists the aa114:44
apwahh ok, then its got fixed that way, nice14:44
smbseems the whole wmi interface there is buggered14:44
apwso i can sensibly drop it14:44
smback14:45
apwgood enough14:45
rtg*sigh* it doesn't pay to update some days. my raid0 server has stopped booting after running /scripts/init-bottom14:48
ogrartg, it really helps to read the topic in #ubuntu-devel where such breakage gets pre-announced 14:49
ogra(or at least announced on discovery)14:49
rtgogra, too many channels...14:49
ograpfft14:50
ograbut i agree we should kill things like -kernel, -arm, -mobile -desktop and go back to just use #ubuntu-devel again14:50
ograall that annoying fragmentation only came up over the last years14:51
rtgogra, maybe I'll just install Hardy 'cause its my build box.14:51
gaspaogra: +114:51
ogragaspa, sadly its way harder to close channels than to open them :)14:52
gaspaI know.14:52
gaspabut for me it's quite a problem, I'm interested in lots of different areas... and I just can't have so much opened tabs ...14:53
ograi only have 26 open atm14:54
gaspaO_o you won.14:54
ograon bad days its 40 :)14:54
gaspausually over the 15th I start to kill them.14:54
gaspa:P14:54
apwpgraner, do you now have a PC Beep channel in your alsa mixers?  wondering if you are affected by bug #331589 on karmic or not14:58

pgranerapw: on which box (or all of them?)15:00
apwi am unsure which one you were seeing it on, i think you are listed as affected, but likely your 133015:00
pgranerapw: that one no longer has karmic on it :-(15:00
apwmanjo has one, i'll ask him15:01
pgranerapw: I'll have to boot a usb stick and test. I have yesterday's daily on usb, I'll try as soon as I can get access to it15:01
pgranerapw: manjo is onsite today15:01
apwhe likely has the kit with him then, and running karmic :)15:01
pgranerapw: right now I can get to the 1330 due to -EWIFE15:02
apwi suspect touching that machine before the weekend is a bad plan for you full stop15:02
apwit can wait for manjo and i've sent email to TheMuso as the bug i am wondering about was from him15:02

apwrtg, deliberate action or a disaster recovery?15:52
rtgapw, total borkage after this last update15:53
apwrtg ahh i was lucky to miss that, left just in time15:54
apwrtg in jaunty we enabled GADGET_DUMMY_HCD and that had some fallout for the ABI and you worked round it with:16:25

Q-FUNKre17:16
Q-FUNKhas anyone found the reason why KMS no longer works in Karmic?17:29

Q-FUNKcdE|Woozy: could be it. any known cure?17:34
cdE|WoozyI "solved" it by rebooting until it loads in the correct order :)17:34
cdE|WoozyI don't know how the order in which those modules are loaded is determined17:35
apwnormally load order is determined by udev17:39
apwthe new parallel probe for pci in the kernel might trigger some instability in order17:39
apwrtg there seem to be 6 patches applied to jaunty that didn't get upstream or into karmic, since we forked off karmic.  do you want me to mail them to the list for review or you happy for me to apply them17:46
rtgapw, lets run 'em through the list first17:54
apwrtg ack17:55
apwrtg ok ... the analysis in all its gory details is up, as is a separate thread with the patches i want in18:36
apwsmb, jaunty sru review is out on email18:37

devinheitmuellerHello all.  I filed bug #403642 almost two months ago and it's supposedly milestoned for Karmic Alpha 6.  Is there any chance this is going to happen?  It's just a PULL request - no actual code changes required.18:38
ubot3Malone bug 403642 in linux-firmware "Include xc5000 firmware in Karmic (now properly licensed)" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/40364218:38
rtgdevinheitmueller, its on my todo list, but its likely too late for A618:39
devinheitmueller:-/18:39
devinheitmuellerI'm obviously pretty disappointed to hear that, especially since the linux-firmware module got three updates since the ticket was filed, and it's just a pull request (it's not like I'm demanding that somebody investigate and fix a bug).18:42
devinheitmuellerrtg: Is there anything I could have done differently that would have effected the outcome here?18:44
rtgdevinheitmueller, actually, I din't even notice the bug until a couple of days ago when I was working on something else. You could always send a git pull request to the u-k-t list, which would have gotten my attention.18:45
devinheitmuellerBut weren't you were the one that set the milestone to A6?18:46
rtgdevinheitmueller, uh, maybe. I can't remember.18:46
devinheitmueller(yes, you were)18:47
devinheitmuellerIf I had any reason to believe that sending pull requests to the ml would have helped, I would have been doing that weekly.  Instead I sat by and waited patiently after being told it was "in progress".  I guess lesson learned for next time.18:48
devinheitmuellerrtg: Thank you very much!20:48

Wickedis there any legit reason why ipv6 was hard coded into the kernel...and not as a module....so the only way one can truely disable ipv6 is to compile there own kernel?20:54
Wickedit seems like a big mistake to me....and to think its such a small fix...that with all the kernel updates it has not been fixed...20:55
Wickedwhich makes me think there may be something else im not seeing.......as to make sense of why its not fixed.20:55
