| ne0futur | hi all, I need to install sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 03:35 |
|---|---|---|
| ne0futur | and I dont understand why it needs to install a nvidia kernel | 03:35 |
| ne0futur | no way to have madwifi without the nvidia stuff ? | 03:35 |
| spstarr | Where can I find nightly builds of the kernel? | 03:41 |
| ne0futur | http://kernel.org/ | 03:45 |
| spstarr | so you don't have a snapshot build like the fedora folks with git snapshots? | 03:48 |
| ne0futur | spstarr: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-intrepid.git;a=summary | 05:05 |
| spstarr | looks 'old' | 05:07 |
| spstarr | .27? | 05:07 |
| spstarr | in intrepid | 05:07 |
| * spstarr looks for karmic kernel | 05:07 | |
| ne0futur | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/FAQ | 05:08 |
| ne0futur | ubuntu is debian based | 05:08 |
| spstarr | yeah i know | 05:08 |
| ne0futur | if you want cutting edge kernel and apps . . . I d recommend something like mandriva | 05:08 |
| ne0futur | but its less stable most of the time | 05:08 |
| spstarr | well once .32 comes out i wont need cutting kernel | 05:08 |
| spstarr | its only the r6xx stuff i want to use | 05:08 |
| ne0futur | you can also build your own kernel its not _so_ hard | 05:08 |
| spstarr | sure, and have, taking ubuntu's .config | 05:09 |
| spstarr | .32 will be out sooner than later | 05:09 |
| cobradevil | Hello all | 06:07 |
| cobradevil | I'm testing ubuntu karmic and wanted to ttry fs-cache | 06:08 |
| cobradevil | the read speedup for nfs is the thing i'm interested in because of a terminalserver configuration | 06:08 |
| cobradevil | i was looking at the kernel config and saw that the config option for CONFIG_NFS_FSCACHE is not set | 06:09 |
| cobradevil | is there a specific reason why it hasn't been enabled? | 06:10 |
| hifi | latest 2.6.31 has no fbcon | 06:17 |
| hifi | oh, sorry, no, it's just not loaded automagically anymore | 06:18 |
| hifi | which kills video signal if used with radeon kms | 06:22 |
| hifi | uh, that wasn't so clear, if radeon module is loaded with kms and no fbcon is loaded you get no signal for virtual terminals | 06:23 |
| ne0futur | hi all, for madwifi I need to install sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | 06:26 |
| ne0futur | and I dont understand why it needs to install a nvidia kernel, no way to have madwifi without the nvidia stuff ? | 06:27 |
| ne0futur | furtermore trying to install it fails : | 06:27 |
| hifi | linux-restricted-modules is a metapackage probably | 06:27 |
| ne0futur | i couldnt find another way to get madwifi | 06:29 |
| ne0futur | is itpossible to find a kernel with the ath_pci module on ubuntu | 07:19 |
| ne0futur | seems it ned a more recent kernel than those in ubuntu | 07:20 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: have you tried the karmic kernel? | 07:46 |
| === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson | ||
| ne0futur | amitk_: i need to upgrade all my distro to get the recent kernel ? | 08:43 |
| maxb | ne0futur: You're looking in the wrong direction, ath_pci is old and removed | 08:45 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: no, not upgrade the distro. But you can get just the karmic kernel and see if that helps. It has the new ath5k drivers. | 08:46 |
| maxb | karmic kernel won't give madwifi, though it will give an up-to-date ath5k which might be a suitable replacement | 08:50 |
| maxb | Though that seems to be an inadvisable course of action without first trying linux-backports-modules | 08:50 |
| ne0futur | hum ill try to see how i can try this kernel | 09:01 |
| ne0futur | apt-cache search karmic gives nothing | 09:01 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: what release are you running currently? | 09:03 |
| amitk_ | maxb makes a good point. Try linux-backports-modules for that release and see if that solves your problem. | 09:03 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: If not, you can simply download the karmic kernel .deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-image-2.6.31-10-generic (depending on whether you run 32-bit or 64-bit) and try that. | 09:05 |
| ne0futur | /etc/debian_version says lenny/sid | 09:08 |
| ne0futur | i cant find a /etc/ubuntu-release | 09:08 |
| ne0futur | but i instsalled a ubuntu ;) | 09:09 |
| ne0futur | I dont want to upgrade distro cause i dont want kde4, kde3 is perfect for me | 09:09 |
| ne0futur | ah I found /etc/lsb-release | 09:10 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: what does /proc/version_signature and /etc/lsb_release say? | 09:10 |
| ne0futur | says DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy | 09:10 |
| ne0futur | 2.6.24-24.60-generic | 09:11 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: in that case best try the linux-backports-modules packages | 09:11 |
| ne0futur | ( downloading the .deb from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/linux-image-2.6.31-10-generic is not ok with this ubuntu release ?) | 09:11 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: that release is very old. I don't think anybody has tested such a new kernel with Hardy. | 09:12 |
| ne0futur | (another question is there a best kernel for a thinkpad laptop than the -generic kernel ? ) | 09:12 |
| ne0futur | hum ok | 09:13 |
| ne0futur | if I upgrade my ubuntu will I be forced to migrate to kde4 or is it possible to stay on kde3 ? | 09:13 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: that is a question for #ubuntu. I think the default might be KDE4 but it might be possible to get KDE3 back. | 09:14 |
| ne0futur | ok thanks | 09:14 |
| ne0futur | i ll try the .deb first and then think on upgrading or using backports | 09:15 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: I'd try backports first, the .deb next and then think of upgrading :) | 09:15 |
| ne0futur | my other problem is that I nmeed an old xorg to have my intel graphics card working well with flash/3d | 09:15 |
| ne0futur | I switched fron mandriva to ubuntu for this reason : | 09:16 |
| ne0futur | https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=53468 | 09:16 |
| amitk_ | apw: I've got a new branch, fsl-imx51-next, in my local tree. Should I overwrite the fsl-imx51 in the karmic git tree or just create a new temp branch for you to review? | 09:16 |
| ubot3 | qa.mandriva.com bug 53468 in Hardware "very slow flash and graphics when using intel 945GM video card" [Major,New] | 09:16 |
| amitk_ | ne0futur: you can try out new Ubuntu releases using the livecds/liveusb. So you can check it out without reinstalling your OS. | 09:17 |
| ne0futur | yup i ll try this | 09:17 |
| amitk_ | apw: I want to get this uploaded today if possible | 09:17 |
| ne0futur | thanks | 09:17 |
| apw | amitk_, hiya | 09:21 |
| apw | let me just check the current branch | 09:21 |
| apw | amitk_, we seem to have one commit since the last tag, so assuming you have that, then you can push to the main branch | 09:23 |
| * amitk_ checks | 09:23 | |
| amitk_ | apw: yes, I got the one from Tim removing ABI/version from vmlinuz name | 09:26 |
| apw | then i can't see any issue pushing it it, is it a rebase? | 09:28 |
| apw | i assume so, as the old one is -6.25 based | 09:28 |
| amitk_ | apw: rebased onto 878e32db158b972b443c5cd8370b2d52068bcaaf (master). Though I see 22 commits since then. | 09:29 |
| apw | probabally rebase pretty simply onto the latest tag i'd assume as there aren't any rebases since then | 09:30 |
| apw | but if you've tested that one, that seems like a major improvement | 09:30 |
| apw | over -rc6 | 09:30 |
| amitk_ | apw: I don't see the -10 tags | 09:30 |
| apw | sometimes i find you need to git fetch --tags origin to get them all | 09:31 |
| apw | i don't know why sometimes it doesn't get them | 09:31 |
| amitk_ | git fetch -t still doesn't get me a Ubuntu-2.6.31-10* | 09:32 |
| apw | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=summary | 09:32 |
| amitk_ | nevermind, I am blind | 09:32 |
| apw | yet they really are there, gitkweb shows them | 09:32 |
| amitk_ | I'll rebase onto -10.34 | 09:32 |
| apw | these arm kernels really are a lot of work | 09:35 |
| amitk_ | apw: you should see the tree I'm about to push :) | 09:36 |
| apw | am i going to barf? | 09:36 |
| apw | heheh ... | 09:39 |
| apw | amitk_, hopefully the rebase will be unremarkable to that tag | 09:41 |
| amitk_ | yeah, unremarkable. No config changes too. I'll just push the changelog, skip abi and module checks and push the branch | 09:44 |
| amitk_ | apw: I'm a bit confused. Should debian/abi be touched or debian.fsl-imx51/abi ? | 09:46 |
| apw | abis are in the per branch space, so .fsl-imx51 | 09:47 |
| apw | getabis is still broken | 09:47 |
| amitk_ | apw: then why are debian/changelog debian/control, etc. created? | 09:49 |
| apw | those have to be in those places as they are used by build system | 09:49 |
| apw | built stuff is mostly still in debian as a result | 09:50 |
| amitk_ | apw: test building once before pushing | 09:58 |
| apw | cool | 10:17 |
| ogra | amitk, do you know if the imx51 package uses the very same postinst -generic uses ? | 10:42 |
| ogra | i dont get any link in / which makes alternate and netboot installs fail miserably since flash-kernel urgently needs these links | 10:42 |
| ogra | apw, ^^^ ? | 10:43 |
| ogra | http://paste.ubuntu.com/273349/ ... | 10:44 |
| apw | ogra, as far as i know its a direct copy | 10:44 |
| ogra | ~ # grep symlink target/etc/kernel-img.conf | 10:44 |
| ogra | do_symlinks = yes | 10:44 |
| ogra | but according to the log (and my inspections) the symlink isnt created | 10:45 |
| apw | ogra, do they get made on on the dove images? | 10:45 |
| ogra | no idea | 10:45 |
| ogra | NCommander, did you try out alternate installs on dove yet ? | 10:46 |
| apw | ogra, isn't the install of the kernel failing anyhow | 10:46 |
| ogra | update-initrmafs is failing because it calls readlink | 10:47 |
| ogra | looking for /vmlinz and /initrd.img | 10:47 |
| amitk_ | apw: ogra: I see a slight diff | 10:47 |
| apw | is that the three new postrm's ? | 10:47 |
| amitk_ | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/273351/ | 10:48 |
| ogra | amitk, thats only error messages if i reasd it right | 10:49 |
| amitk_ | yeah, seems to be just messages | 10:49 |
| ogra | Sep 17 17:59:47 in-target: Setting up linux-image-2.6.31-100-imx51 (2.6.31-100.7) ... | 10:50 |
| ogra | after that the symlinks should exist | 10:50 |
| apw | Sep 17 17:59:48 in-target: Failed to create initrd image. | 10:50 |
| apw | Sep 17 17:59:48 in-target: dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.31-100-imx51 (--configure): | 10:50 |
| apw | Sep 17 17:59:48 in-target: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 | 10:50 |
| apw | Sep 17 17:59:49 in-target: Package linux-image-2.6.31-100-imx51 is not configured yet. | 10:51 |
| ogra | apw, yup, thats the fallout of the missing links | 10:51 |
| apw | it seems to have failed in such a way that its not configured | 10:51 |
| ogra | Sep 17 17:59:48 in-target: readlink: missing operand | 10:51 |
| ogra | thats the actual error | 10:51 |
| ogra | update-initramfs looks for /vmlinuz | 10:51 |
| ogra | which the postinst of linux-image-2.6.31-100-imx51 should have created before running update-initramfs | 10:52 |
| amitk_ | ogra: and it works in the desktop install images? | 10:55 |
| ogra | yes | 10:55 |
| ogra | but desktop doesnt need flash-kernel ... even if it would have gone through update-initramfs, it would have failed in flash-kernel, the links in / are essential on armel | 10:56 |
| apw | ogra, are tehy on the desktop images? | 10:57 |
| apw | that log there, how was it generated, is there a command line to do that or something? | 10:58 |
| ogra | thats the output of d-i | 10:59 |
| ogra | the desktop images dont use d-i | 10:59 |
| apw | but does the kernel installed there have it | 11:00 |
| apw | also when you install kernels manually do they normally maintain the links | 11:00 |
| apw | obviously they do in the main kernel, and the script is identicle | 11:01 |
| ogra | yes, the desktop images have /vmlinuz and /initrd.img | 11:01 |
| ogra | else they wouldnt be installable :) | 11:01 |
| apw | so generally the install is making them then | 11:02 |
| ogra | (flash-kernel, as i said above ) | 11:02 |
| ogra | right | 11:02 |
| ogra | the linux-image postinst reads /etc/kernel-img.conf and creates them | 11:02 |
| ogra | in d-i installs /etc/kernel-img.conf is created by base-installer right before linux-image* is installed | 11:03 |
| ogra | in live setups /etc/kernel-img.conf is created by livecd-rootfs right before the linux-image-* package gets installed in the chroot | 11:03 |
| ogra | same procedure two different environments and outcomes | 11:03 |
| apw | have you looked at an x86 alternate installer image? | 11:04 |
| apw | perhaps they are all broken | 11:04 |
| ogra | heh | 11:05 |
| ogra | someone would have noticed that ... the log is from A6 testing :) | 11:05 |
| ogra | i produced it yesterday with the A6 candidate image | 11:05 |
| apw | not necessarily perhaps its not important on the alternate if you don't have flash-kernel | 11:05 |
| ogra | given that i386 all passed i doubt they have that issue | 11:06 |
| ogra | flash-kernel is run a lot later | 11:06 |
| apw | fair | 11:06 |
| ogra | though i'm not sure why the readlink error shows up | 11:06 |
| ogra | if [ -L /initrd.img -a -e /initrd.img ]; then | 11:06 |
| ogra | linktarget="$(basename "$(readlink /initrd.img)")" | 11:06 |
| ogra | fi | 11:06 |
| ogra | if [ -L /boot/initrd.img -a -e /boot/initrd.img ]; then | 11:06 |
| ogra | linktarget="$(basename "$(readlink /boot/initrd.img)")" | 11:06 |
| ogra | fi | 11:06 |
| ogra | neither of the files exist yet, so the if statement isnt fulfilled | 11:07 |
| ogra | (thats from update-initramfs) | 11:07 |
| ogra | so it shouldnt call readlink at all | 11:07 |
| apw | so i'd say it can't be that readlink which failed | 11:08 |
| ogra | there is no other readlink involved i think | 11:08 |
| ogra | Sep 17 17:59:48 in-target: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.31-100-imx51 | 11:09 |

| apw | Sep 17 17:59:48 in-target: readlink: missing operand | 11:11 |

| ogra | Sep 17 17:59:48 in-target: readlink: missing operand | 11:11 |
| ogra | thats the error | 11:11 |
| apw | that comes from hook-functions in initramfs | 11:11 |
| apw | yes but there are more readlinnks in that file | 11:12 |
| apw | which is run by innitramfs | 11:12 |
| apw | mkinitramfs | 11:12 |
| ogra | outfile="$(readlink -f "$outfile")" | 11:12 |
| ogra | oh you are right | 11:12 |
| apw | thats like /sys is broke | 11:13 |
| ogra | i see the error msg, buit i dont get why sys would be involved at all | 11:14 |
| apw | there are errors about things in sys not being there | 11:14 |
| apw | which are surly not right | 11:14 |
| apw | and led to it exiting 1 | 11:14 |
| apw | which led to the kernel install failing | 11:15 |
| apw | if [ -z "${block}" ] || [ ! -e /sys/block/${block} ]; then | 11:15 |
| apw | echo "mkinitramfs: missing ${block} root ${root} /sys entry" | 11:15 |
| apw | echo "mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most" | 11:15 |
| apw | echo "mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug" | 11:15 |
| apw | exit 1 | 11:15 |
| apw | that was what it didn't cope with, not syaing the readlink is irrelevant, but its not what triggered the failure of kernel install directly | 11:15 |
| ogra | apw, yeah, just found that too | 11:16 |
| apw | so i think that means the kernel links likely would have gotten made 'shortly' but initramfs blew chunks so it stopped | 11:16 |
| ogra | yup | 11:16 |
| ogra | so its an installer issue, sorry for bothering you guys ... i'll try to find out why base-installer didnt mount /sys | 11:18 |
| apw | ogra, not sure if it was mounted or not hard to tell from the error | 11:18 |
| apw | there may yet be an issue that /sys/block was missing for some kerenl reason, but see if you can find out if it was mounted | 11:18 |
| ogra | well, i see that it isnt mounted atm, | 11:19 |
| apw | ahh | 11:19 |
| ogra | ~ # mount | 11:20 |
| ogra | rootfs on / type rootfs (rw) | 11:20 |
| ogra | none on /proc type proc (rw,relatime) | 11:20 |
| ogra | none on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime) | 11:20 |
| ogra | tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime) | 11:20 |
| ogra | devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) | 11:20 |

| ogra | /dev/sda1 on /dev/.static/dev type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=1,data=ordered) | 11:21 |
| ogra | tmpfs on /target/dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime) | 11:21 |
| ogra | neither /proc nor /sys are mounted under /target atm | 11:21 |
| apw | if thats 'mid install' then that seems broke | 11:21 |
| apw | amitk_, is this an abi-bumper, i assume it is with this huge pile of patches | 11:22 |
| amitk_ | apw: yes, and adds a module or two. So you could ignore abi and module checks | 11:22 |
| apw | ok | 11:23 |
| apw | i'll do that | 11:23 |

| apw | ogra, i have the tree and it should be uploading imminently | 13:45 |
| * ogra hugs apw | 13:46 | |
