toresbeHello folks :)15:57
toresbeI think I have what appears to be a bug on a fresh Karmic install. "Enable wireless" is greyed out in nm-applet.15:58
toresbeI was thinking I should enclose the WLAN-relevant part of dmesg, the relevant parts of syslog and the output of nm-tool, iwconfig and ifconfig16:01
toresbeany more or less?16:01
greg-gtoresbe: that is a good set of info. I'm wondering if it might be kernel related (kernel not recognizing the card?)16:15
dtchenI'd add /proc/interrupts16:16
greg-gtoresbe: ^ I'd trust dtchen  :)16:19
mranddtchen: So besides wrong kernel and volume set to zero, mind sharing some bug numbers for the most common audio bugs and fixes?  [re: dtchen: ahhh. After a long week, finally inbox zero for new Karmic audio bugs.]16:19
=== YDdraigGoch is now known as WelshDragon
dtchenmrand: I blogged about this already.16:21
dtchendrowninginbugs.blogspot, see the latest16:21
mrandcool.  Thanks!16:21
mrandfunny title, btw.16:21
mrandeven if it is accurate16:21
dtchenbest to keep things lighthearted, I find16:22
mrandI saw a case of the wrong kernel when someone did a upgrade-manager -d (before Karmic was released).  The upgrade jumped him directly from 8.04 or 8.10 to Karmic, but didn't give him the karmic kernel.16:24
toresbeah, no, sorry, I was imprecise. It is greyed out, but the card works perfectly when used with iwconfig/dhclient.16:24
toresbeAdditionally, nm-tool displays the card.16:24
greg-gtoresbe: ahh, nevermind about my idea then :)16:25
dtchentoresbe: network-manager-applet is the affected src16:25
dtchenI'm a bit dismayed that the hal/devicekit/udev convergence is leading to a requirement to have perfectly aligned bits from the kernel upward16:26
_Narc_Hi everyone, sorry to bother again. Anyone here can tell me if a Live CD issue - or suggestion - concerning error messages from the installer should be assigned to the ubiquity package ? Thanks a lot.18:10
micahg_Narc_: depends on the issue18:13
micahgah error messages from the installer18:13
micahgdo you have a pastebin of the errors?18:13
_Narc_Yes, it's someone from Brainstorm, suggesting that the message "Unable to read block ..." is not very user-friendly...18:14
_Narc_It's not a really a bug, just an idea, but someone on Brainstorm told him to post a bug report18:15
_Narc_So I wondered...18:15
dtchenyes, affecting ubiquity and setting the Importance to Wishlist is fine18:19
micahgwell, we'll set the impotance, you can file the bug :)18:19
micahgoops18:19
micahgimportance18:19
dtchenI'm not setting any impotence!18:19
_Narc_Haha18:19
_Narc_Good for you then18:19
_Narc_Okay, I'm affecting it to ubiquity then.18:20
_Narc_THanks18:20
dtchenah, here come the comments: "Why didn't you test any hardware?"18:22
dtchenI'm at a loss how I'm supposed to test hardware that I don't physically possess. The fact that the user doesn't help test *before* the final release isn't helpful, either. So -- how do we test before we test?18:23
dtchenI need a time machine, preferably a TARDIS.18:23
micahgsimulator?18:23
micahgis it possible to have unit tests for audio like you do for code?18:24
dtchenwhat sort of simulator?18:24
micahgidk18:24
micahghw simulator18:24
dtchensure, that will test the kernel layer and nothing else18:24
dtchenand of course that presumes that the model is 100% correct18:24
micahgwell, all test suites assume that18:24
dtchen(which it isn't and can't be, because the drivers themselves aren't current/correct)18:24
dtchentest suites can deal with their own layer18:25
dtchenthey can't deal with a broken bios, a broken linux, a broken alsa-lib, etc.18:25
micahgah18:25
dtcheni.e., writing a test for hda-emu won't mean a thing for the broken Dell bioses18:25
dtchenor Toshiba bioses, or ASUS bioses, or Acer bioses, ...18:26
_Narc_...so if I get this right, about Live CD bugs, any problem encountered before the installer actually booted is to be filled under the kernel and anything happening after under ubiquity, right ?...18:39
dtchenwell, no; there's also casper.18:42
_Narc_Oh... It's more subtle then.18:44
_Narc_I'll read about that, thanks.18:44
Awsoonn_bug 478572 <- I'm lookign for assistance on where to go next on resoliving this issue.18:55

dtchenAwsoonn_: install linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic and reboot19:02

Awsoonn_dtchen: why do I want to use karmic-proposed ? and do I want to use the backports and proposed or just one or the other?19:06
dtchenAwsoonn_: for the new kernel. And linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic has nothing to do with the karmic-backports pocket.19:07
dtchenAwsoonn_: linux-backports-modules-2.6.31-15-generic is in karmic/universe, not karmic-backports/universe19:07
Awsoonn_dtchen: you are a great help, Thank you so much19:08
dtchennp19:09
Awsoonn_do you think that it would be a good idea to encorporate this into Jockey so that it automaticly installs the drivers for this card when detected?19:10
dtchenthat would probably require promoting linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) into main, which isn't going to happen19:11
dtchennot that it isn't possible, of course19:11
dtchenis your symptom resolved after rebooting with linux-backports-modules-karmic-generic installed?19:12
Awsoonn_fglrx is not in main, but is part of jockey's make-it-happen-action, I'm thinking a similar action might be do-able. I'm installing now19:12
dtchenfglrx is in restricted19:12

Awsoonn_i am updating from proposed now, all updates are applied.19:23
Awsoonn_I just wanted to leave a note in LP before proceeding. :)19:24
_Narc_Sorry to interrupt with a noob question but where am I supposed to fill a KernelOops concerning the 2.6.31-14 kernel... since linux-source doesn't have any 2.6.31...and I can't find any linux-headers/image... If I sounds too stupid just ignore me btw.19:27

_Narc_Yes, sure, but which package ? I'm sorting bugs without package, I'm not the reporter.19:29
Awsoonn_the package is 'linux'19:29
Awsoonn_if you're still unsure post the bug number here and we'll take a peek19:30

Awsoonn_yea, look at the oopsText.txt19:34
Awsoonn_you can see that this error was caused by a resume error19:34
_Narc_pm-utils then.... ?19:35
Awsoonn_so it can be filed under linux, and I think there is a group you can subsribe that handles these kinds of erros, let me look through teh wiki19:35
JonyBlazefirst check to see if its a duplicate19:36
JonyBlazeother bugs it looks like have the same problem19:36
Awsoonn_I actually think I had this bug this morning... :) I failed to look into it very deeply though.19:37
_Narc_Ok, thanks. I suspected pm-utils because of "power/suspend_test" and "pm-suspend Tainted" but was about to fill it under kernel, to avoid taking bad initiative.19:37
_Narc_I'll check for dupes, yes19:38

_Narc_The oopstext is the same but it's not on the same architecture. does it matter ?19:42
JonyBlazeit might in some cases but not always19:44
_Narc_is there a way to know ?19:45
Awsoonn_intuition. :)19:45
_Narc_to avoid asking each time19:45
_Narc_Haha19:45
_Narc_Yeah19:45
_Narc_I guess I'm not intimate enough  with the kernel yet19:46
Awsoonn_I'd say that is jsut about right, you learn more and more as you go, in this case I'd say no, and since you've found one duplicate yOu might wnat to round up other dups19:46
Awsoonn_when did you begin triaging?19:47
_Narc_Few days ago19:47
_Narc_Noob really19:47
Awsoonn_right on, I'm glad to hear that you're sticking to it. :)19:47
_Narc_But I read.19:47
_Narc_Yes I do, I really like to, and as you say, it's a very good way to learn and help at the same time19:48
Awsoonn_We always need triagers :) epsecially ones that ask questions and read the wiki. :)19:48

dtchenwell, not really translated, but explained. That's even cooler.19:50
Awsoonn_I think it's ok to makr them as duplicates in this case. it is the same line of code that is throwing the error afterall19:51

=== Awsoonn_ is now known as Awsoonn
_Narc_is it okay to mark them both as duplicates of each other ?19:57
_Narc_'Cause #417842 has a huge list of dupes19:57
Awsoonnonly mark the new one as a dupe of the bigger one19:57
Awsoonnthe bug with the more information is the 'original' and the other one is the 'duplicate', and yea, it has a TON. :P19:58
Awsoonni read into it a ways down and this error is simply stating that reusme took longer than 5 seconds and it is reporting to LP so that the issue can be investigated more.19:59
_Narc_It has been or will be investigated obviously with a huge list like this :P20:00
_Narc_Ya, I still got mixed up with duplicates20:01
Awsoonn*nods* hence the huge importance of grouping dups, which apport is doing an awesome job of. :)20:01
_Narc_by grouping you mean looking for some and marking them as such ? or something else I don't know yet ?20:03
_Narc_Sorry I misread.20:08
Awsoonnyea, if there is a bug that you think might have a lot of dups, you can look for them and mark them as a dups of one another.20:13
AwsoonnThere is a lot of things that a triager can do :D20:13
Awsoonnwhat do you hope to do for Ubuntu someday Narc? (just curious)20:14
_Narc_Well, I've been a huge fan of computing and open-source philosophy for years now, and I hope one day - when my programming skills will be way better - I could help improving it too.20:15
_Narc_For now, I decided to do what I can do, translating, triaging, a bit of evangelism too :)20:16
Awsoonn:) are you a student by chance?20:17
_Narc_Sort of.20:17
_Narc_I'm an "autodidact".20:17
