[00:15] <Darxus> Woohoo, I've got lots of bfs patched .debs.  Built with just "debuild" even.
[00:15] <Darxus> debuild is how LP builds, right?
[00:31] <Darxus> It finished building!
[00:34] <micahg> does anyone have a workaround for bug 414560?

[00:35] <micahg> I tried the PPA in the upstream comment as well as the regular backports
[01:58] <Darxus> What initiates file signing during debuild?  It's not doing the signing of the .dsc file.
[01:59] <Darxus> I tried doing it manually, but the sha1 checksum is apparently somehow different than that generated by the command of the same name.
[02:01] <Darxus> Oh, interesting, there are two checksums.
[02:03] <Darxus> Three.
[02:09] <Darxus> Wow, I actually got all the checksums recalculated, and both the .changes and .dsc resigned properly so dput is uploading.
[02:09] <Darxus> That was unpleasant.  Three checksums?

[02:16] <Darxus> And LP rejected it.  Grr.
[02:27] <Darxus> Woohoo, LP accepted it this time.  It rejected it because there wasn't a blank line before the gpg signature at the bottom of the .dsc.  Grr.
[02:27] <Darxus> It'll be a merical if it builds.
[02:42] <Womble2> Darxus: The signing step is debsign
[03:44] <Darxus> Womble2: Thanks.
[03:47] <Darxus> Huh, one of the architectures built.  The other two are still going.
[03:52] <Darxus> Womble2: I'm not finding references to debsign in this package.
[03:55] <Darxus> My debdiff includes several files I didn't touch.  Almost certainly because they're automatically generated, but not removed by debian/rules clean.  Can I add rming them to debian/rules clean?  Open a bug for it?
[03:56] <Darxus> debian.master/control.stub debian.master/control debian/control.stub debian/control 
[03:58] <Darxus> I guess that problem will probably need a more complicated solution.
[04:35] <dhon_> hi
[04:36] <dhon_> I'm trying to build a more recent ftdi_sio driver on 8.04 but I'm having troubles
[04:36] <dhon_> cc1: error: /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build/include/linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory
[04:37] <dhon_> that's the first of many errors
[04:37] <dhon_> linux headers are installed
[04:38] <dhon_> and the build alias seems to be ok: /lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-generic
[04:39] <dhon_> is it likely that this version of the driver requires a more modern kernel?
[04:39] <Darxus> What do the driver docs say?
[04:45] <dhon_> the package I downloaded only contains ftdi_sio.c, ftdi_sio.h, Makefile and Rules.mak
[04:45] <dhon_> I can't see a reference to min kernel version in those file
[04:47] <dhon_> I should mention that this is a g-OS netbook, which is based on 8.04 - but I'm not sure if it's exactly the same
[04:49] <Darxus> It's entirely possible that the kernel and driver are incompatible versions.  I wouldn't assume which one is too new / old.
[04:55] <dhon_> a page I've found suggest that the kernel headers are not configured
[05:02] <dhon_> is there a way to acquire the config for the current kernel? I thought it would be in /proc/config but it's not there
[05:03] <dhon_> nor is it in the linux-source package
[05:03] <hyperair> /boot/config-`uname -r`
[05:04] <dhon_> ah, perhaps apt-get source linux-image-generic?
[05:04] <dhon_> ah ok thanks
[05:05] <hyperair> all the make-kpkg'd kernels put their configs there as wel
[05:05] <hyperair> +l
[05:06] <dhon_> so I just copy this to /usr/src/`uname -r`/.config
[05:06] <dhon_> err sorry, to the headers directory?
[05:07] <Darxus> dhon_: The .config in the linux-image package source is built from... several pieces.
[05:07] <Darxus> There's a main pice, then a piece for each architecture, then a piece for each flavor, and you cat them together.
[05:07] <Darxus> But getting it out of /boot/ is better :)
[05:08] <dhon_> :) thanks
[05:08] <dhon_> good to know
[05:15] <dhon_> ok, so I have the config file, but I'm still not sure how to create modversions.h from the kernel headers?
[05:19] <dhon_> it sounds like this might be a driver for 2.4, not 2.6
[05:20] <dhon_> modversions.h no longer exists in 2.6?
[05:20] <Womble2> 2.6 has Modules.symver
[05:21] <Womble2> or even Module.symvers...
[05:21] <dhon_> the ftdi page states that ftdi_sio is in the mainline kernel now, so is it likely that a driver from 2.6.31 (say) would compile on 2.6.24 or is this a bad idea?
[05:22] <Womble2> depends on how much its driver class (net, serial, ...) has changed
[05:25] <dhon_> I'm not even sure if the driver is the problem - I'm getting IOErrors from pyserial when reading from a USB/RS485 adapter
[05:26] <dhon_> it seems to only happen under heavy load, but then occurs on every successive read
[05:27] <dhon_> so I was thinking it may be related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/linux/+bug/376128
[05:27] <ubot3> Malone bug 376128 in linux "ftdi_sio doesnt work propertly" [Medium,Fix released] 
[05:27] <dhon_> even though it's a different kernel version
[05:29] <dhon_> I guess I should look at the patch from that fix and see if it applies to my version
[06:05] <Darxus> [    6.540427] nvidia: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
[06:05] <Darxus> I watched dkms rebuild that module, how would it have a different symbol version?
[07:24] <dhon_> as a follow up: the latest ftdi_sio is not compatible with 2.6.24
[07:24] <dhon_> the usb_serial structs have changed
[07:24] <dhon_> and there were a few other problems
[07:24] <dhon_> so it looks like a kernel upgrade is in order
[07:24] <dhon_> thanks for the help

[13:15] <smb> apw, you proy mean acpid

[13:15] <apw> smb, your tester has woken up on that one
[13:16] <smb> by now most drivers have input drivers, so maybe it is what is left of hald ...
[13:16]  * smb goes having a look
[13:17] <smb> apw, I would suspect acpid in that case
[13:17] <apw> yep asked him to test without acpid, so we can see if its to blame there
[13:17] <smb> He reported some things visible when doing acpi_listen
[13:18] <apw> yeah thats what i thought
[13:18] <smb> Could we have a remnants of that handling left? and b) why did the module not load
[13:18] <smb> I check the acpi ids and there seemed to be one match
[13:20]  * smb wonders what that last update did to his netbook. ssd busy, back to the login screen, no mouse...
[13:31] <apw> smb, one assume it didn't load cause its not listed in the module aliases
[13:31] <apw> if it did match then we need to get the dmesg to see
[13:32] <smb> apw, Its sort of a special acpi alias (the dmesg shows nothing (the normal one))
[13:32] <smb> I double verify to see the id in the acpidump
[13:33] <smb> and then need to look how that match might b made
[13:41] <smb> apw, So from the dsdt: "Device (HKEY) { Name (_HID, EisaId ("MAT0019"))..." and from modinfo panasonic_laptop: "alias:          acpi*:MAT0019:*"
[13:42] <apw> that is odd indeed
[13:42] <apw> smb, udev log might tell us yes?
[13:43] <smb> The basic question would be, does having that Id in acpi generate an event?
[13:45] <smb> apw, Looking into /sys/bus/acpi should tell I guess
[13:45] <smb> apw, /sys/bus/acpi/devices actually
[13:56] <smb> apw, Ok, I guess I have some reasonable questions posted to proceed

[14:53] <slytherin> and those are the only disks not mounting on this drive.
[14:54] <apw> and do we know if this is a generic issue or drive specific?
[14:55]  * apw shoves a mission: impossible region 2 disk in his drive to find out
[14:56] <apw> that seems to mount ok and play
[14:57] <apw> slytherin, is it _all_ css disks?  could your drive be in region 0
[14:58] <apw> also does this work on older kernels?  from older releases?
[14:58] <slytherin> apw: It is issue with all CSS disks. The drive region is 5.
[14:58] <apw> do you have an older jaunty kernel on your machine still 2.6.28-* ?
[14:59] <apw> if so you might try booting that, the karmic userspace should just about work i would think
[14:59] <slytherin> Nope sorry. I can try installing it tonight.
[14:59] <apw> that would be worth trying, as would a latest mainline kernel
[15:00] <slytherin> I already tried daily build from 2 October from mainline builds PPA. That didn't help.

[15:01] <mac_v> i'm using grub2
[15:01] <slytherin> apw: This might be drive (or driver) specific issue. Funny thing is that everything else works. non-CSS DVDs, audio CDs, Video CDs etc.
[15:01] <apw> slytherin, i added that to the bug too so its not lost forever in the irc logs
[15:02] <apw> slytherin, yeah i am reading CSS stuff on the dvd drive in my laptop, so its not a general issue
[15:02] <apw> cking_, was there some way to tell grub 2 not to touch the console at all
[15:02] <mac_v> apw: how do i disable output?
[15:02]  * cking_ draws a blank on that
[15:03] <slytherin> apw: Let's say the issue is present with jaunty kernel as well. What is the way forward?
[15:03] <apw> slytherin, oh do you have the CSS decoder libaries installed?
[15:03] <apw> libdvdcss2 i think its called?
[15:04] <slytherin> apw: yes I have.
[15:04] <apw> hrm, then you have what i have ...
[15:04] <apw> so i am suspicious its device related then
[15:05] <apw> mac_v, hmmm not sure off the top of my head
[15:05] <apw> but i think grub2 has an option to not change the display at all
[15:06] <mac_v> apw: the weird thing is , when i upgraded to interpid this problem did not arise... but when i did a fresh reinstall of interpid this started :/
[15:06]  * cking_ missing the connection between grub2 and DVDs
[15:06] <apw> yep dunno what the difference between those two would be
[15:06] <apw> cking_, different issues
[15:06] <apw> two different people
[15:07] <cking_> I need more coffee and need to sleep more that's for sure
[15:07] <apw> one has a webcam which they think worked in windows when the mbr was a windows one, and does not once grub is installed
[15:07] <apw> and i was wondering if we can ask grub to leave the machine alone more to see if its init which is upsetting the world
[15:08] <apw> mac_v, is the webcam builtin?
[15:08] <cking_> has the DVD drive been regionalised? Sometimes new ones are not set
[15:08] <apw> could it be a bios issue  wonder
[15:08] <apw> cking_, i wondered that too ... how does one tell though
[15:08] <slytherin> cking_: yes it has been, I checked with regionset
[15:09] <mac_v> apw: yes
[15:09] <cking_> slytherin, stupid question time: has this DVD been seen to work on other kit?
[15:10] <slytherin> yes, I can play it find on my ibook, powerpc with jaunty. In fact I can play all the DVDs I have on ibook.
[15:14] <cking_> slytherin, it's a E616 DVD drive?
[15:14] <slytherin> I don't know the details. Only that it is a Asus DVD drive. I borrowed it from a friend with the intention of buying if it worked all right.
[15:15] <cking_> I had a look at the boot message, it's looks like an ASUS E616. I've seen similar comments about this drive: http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?board_id=2&model=DVD-E616&id=20051224212843290&page=1&SLanguage=en-us
[15:15] <cking_> ..which may indicate it works on older DVDs but maybe not on newer ones.
[15:16] <slytherin> let me ask my friend if he faced similar problem
[15:17] <apw> that would be very odd indeed.  be interesting to see if windows can use it too
[15:17] <cking_> just a hunch
[15:20] <apw> yeah i can see why you think that, i would be not buying one of those drives from the whining about them on google
[15:21] <apw> and the errors do look like the drive is getting all upset and stopping responding at the bus level
[15:23] <slytherin> I guess I will return it to my friend. :-) I should have logged the bug earlier.
[15:30] <Kano> slytherin: why do you mount dvd?
[15:31] <Kano> many of the problematic ones have extra copyprotection and can be only played using lindvd
[15:31] <slytherin> Kano: My DVDs are not like that. They play fine on my laptop.
[15:32] <Kano> then the drive could be faulty
[15:39] <slytherin> Kano: It woks for everything other than region coded drives.
[15:39] <Kano> then it is clear
[15:39] <Kano> you need to set the region code first
[15:39] <Kano> regionset - view and modify the region code of DVD drives
[15:40] <mjg59> 15:08 < slytherin> cking_: yes it has been, I checked with regionset
[15:40] <mjg59> Do keep up
[15:41] <Kano> slytherin: if you have got win try to play it there, if it asks then it was not set
[15:41] <cking_> heh
[15:42] <Kano> or just flash rpc1 firmware
[15:45] <slytherin> I don't have windows. Stopped using that 5 years ago. I will try rpc1 firmware
[15:47] <lamont> 2.6.31-13.42 ... does anyone really want that for ia64, or can I kill that build and let other stuff make progress, since I assume there'll be an even newer kernel sometime, yes?
[15:55] <slytherin> apw: Can that DVD issue be anyway related to DMA? I see lot of 'link is slow to respond', not sure what that means. And not sure why it comes with only region coded disks.
[15:55] <apw> slytherin, the first thing that occurs is that the drive is reported frozen it seems
[15:55] <apw> then we get annoyed and reset it and then it occurs agian ...
[15:56] <apw> so i'd say it looks like the drive is going away when we do the 'what you got in there then' call
[15:56] <slytherin> hmm, so might be related to drive status reporting, right?
[15:56] <apw> i assume when you say the drive is region 5 that the disks are the same region
[15:56] <apw> slytherin, very hard to say ... all i can see if it dissappearing off the bus
[15:56] <apw> thats not a very nice thing for it to do
[15:57] <slytherin> apw: yes. some of the disks are same region, but the problem appears irrespective of the region. Anyway I will try latest kernel and jaunty kernel.
