dandel_hmm... i found a bug with the ext3 subsystem used for the virtual partition install of ubuntu 9.04 :/ (when using kernel 2.6.32-rc7)00:34
=== dandel_ is now known as dandel
dtchen_reported upstream?00:35
dandelsomewhat.00:35
dandeli'm trying to reopen a bug that got closed ><;00:35
dandeli haft to figure out how to over ethernet send the debug ><; (the crash happens upon resume)00:35
dandel2.6.28 (which is used in 9.04 by default does not display this bug, but the system still crashes shortly afterwards)00:36
* dandel checks 2.6.32-rc6 for bug.00:37
dandelthat also displays the bug (go figure)00:39
dtchen_and rc8?00:42
dtchen_rc7*00:42
dandeli'm testing 2.6.31 ><;00:42
dandel2.6.31 also does the crash on resume 0o00:43
dandeli know it's some sort of module change... the crash does not occur when i suspend with testing via s2ram on init=/bin/bash00:45
dandelit'd be excellent if i could get the kernel dmesg stuff to go to my tower (the laptop lacks serial ports tho)00:51
macois one of your USB ports a debug port?00:55
dandelno clue.00:55
dandelhowever, the kernel did not panic, so the log is scrollable (although it is a little short)00:56
dandelhow can i make the usb port a debug port?00:57
macohttp://www.coreboot.org/EHCI_Debug_Port00:58
dandelYes, the usb does support debug 0o'01:00
macothis time, im bookmarking that link. i had to search through last december's chatlogs to find it :P01:01
dandelso how do i run the device as a debug port then?01:02
dandel(Keep in mind that i have 2 EHCI controllers, and both of them support debug)01:02
* dandel makes note that both the laptop and tower have debug port capability on the usb.01:08
macoive never done it myself. the $83 pricetag on that hardware was a bit steep for me01:09
dandel><;01:09
dandelany idea on how to get the debug to go over ethernet?01:09
macospose you could ssh in before it breaks...01:11
dandelcan't01:11
macoright....suspend/resume01:11
macoi wasnt thinking01:11
dandelhmm... my only option now is to start gutting module trees with the modprobe blacklisting.01:33
dandelok... got the crash down to about 15 modules which i can't unload.02:39
hagabakawhy doesn't the kernel ppa work as a repository now?03:41
asabilhi all12:08
teabaghello all, I am getting this error during the makefile process14:28

_Narc_Hello, Kernel Wizards. I got a little something to ask you. I had/I'm having/ a hard time figuring out if a bug is coming form the kernel or from something else. It's network related, especially to the r8169 module... Anyone I could explain to ? Thanks20:36
dtchen__Narc_: please don't ask to ask.21:41
dtchen__Narc_: and, it's better if you have a bug report reference.21:41
_Narc_dtchen_: Sorry. The problem is I don't have a bug report yet because I waited to have an advise here to submit it under the right package.22:27
BenC_Narc_: you can file a bug report against just ubuntu and specify the package later22:28
BenC_Narc_: since you know it is in ubuntu, you know you will have to file a bug report anyway, so best to do it from the start and narrow down the exact package after it's been triaged a bit22:29
_Narc_BenC: Good idea, I didn't think about that. I came here to ask because someone on ubuntu-bugs told me it was weird and to ask to someone who knows the kernel better. But I'll do that, thanks.22:30
BenC_Narc_: you can still explain here if you can provide enough detail22:30
_Narc_BenC: Yes, I even have too much of them. Too make a long story short, it's been months that I experience network hangs/ deconnexions when the network was under heavy load, using bittorrent (Miro) for example. I tested with a different router, changed nothing. Then I looked in syslog and found this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/318620/ . 22:35
BenC_Narc_: not so sure that's a bug at all...22:37
BenC_Narc_: if anything, it is kernel, but just saying that the driver may be acting as expected22:38
_Narc_With different people on ubuntu-bugs, we thought it was a r8169 issue. But now I discovered that changing the default port in Miro stops it. So, I need your help determining if it's Miro who's talking nonsense to the kernel or the kernel who can't handle it.22:38
_Narc_Oh really22:38
_Narc_Two people on ubuntu-bugs told me it was an Oops22:38
BenCit's not an oops at all22:38
_Narc_Oh22:38
BenCit's a WARN_ON() in the driver22:38
BenCoops == crash, WARN_ON() == driver got something unexpected from the hardware and tried to handle it22:39
BenClikely in this case, that means resetting the device22:39
_Narc_Ok, it means it's just telling that something is wrong, but acting as expected ?22:39
_Narc_Ok22:39
BenCthat's an initial guess22:40
_Narc_It's really something already :)22:40
_Narc_Do you know if the SYN flood messages just at the beginning could trigger this ?22:40
_Narc_Or is it unrelated 22:40
_Narc_Because I had a lot of them. 22:41
BenCI believe it is directly related22:41
BenCneed to find out why the kernel thinks it is getting syn-flooded22:42
_Narc_Oh. That's interesting, because that's what I thought, and I unabled the syn flood cookies, and it still hanged. But changing Miro's default port from 8500 to 51413 solves it. So, I wondered why one and not the other...22:43
_Narc_I say Miro specifically because it's the only app who's doing this. On this port. And the syslog message I showed you does not appear at each network hang. 22:46
_Narc_So, hardware, kernel, miro... I'm not good enough to figure out. Ask me if you need any other info.22:47
BenC_Narc_: do not disable syn cookies, that causes more problems22:48
BenC_Narc_: quite possible you need to lower some limits in Miro so that it doesn't cause flooding on your connecting22:48
_Narc_Yes, that's what I did. But the strange thing is that I only get the syn warnings when miro's port range are 8500-8600. So, it's not a kernel issue you say, because it's acting brave and try to handle miro's/my hardware crappy packets, right ? 22:52
BenC_Narc_: I believe so23:00
_Narc_Ok, thank you very much then. I'm starting to understand this more. It's probably a Miro bug then. Because my hardware is not exotic.23:02
