| wzssyqa | i am on lucid,why it not run update-grub automatic? | 03:15 |
| lamont | wzssyqa: /etc/kernel-img.conf probably lacks these lines? | 03:25 |
| lamont | postinst_hook = update-grub | 03:25 |
| lamont | postrm_hook = update-grub | 03:25 |
| lamont | if so, there's a bug about that | 03:25 |
| wzssyqa | lamont: do_symlinks = yes | 03:26 |
| wzssyqa | relative_links = yes | 03:26 |
| wzssyqa | do_bootloader = no | 03:26 |

| wzssyqa | do_initrd = yes | 03:26 |
| wzssyqa | link_in_boot = no | 03:26 |
| lamont | yeah, so workaround is to add the postinst and postrm hook lines... | 03:26 |
| wzssyqa | lamont: o,ok,need report a bug? | 03:27 |

| ubot3 | Malone bug 470265 in grub "jaunty to karmic upgrade failed to update menu.lst (update-grub missing from kernel-img.conf)" [High,New] | 03:28 |
| lamont | feel free to add more detail if you can | 03:28 |
| wzssyqa | lamont: o ,it happens when update from 2.6.32-6 to 2.6.32-7 | 03:29 |
| lamont | well, the issue is that the hooks aren't there, so installing a kernel isn't told to run update-grub | 03:31 |
| ncss | i am having a problem with karmic (also same problem with jaunty) where kde freezes and on the serial console and syslog there are various Call Traces. Caps/Lock lights/unlights when pressed and I can do the magic sequence to reboot. while its initially frozen I can still ping from another machine and usually at some point afterwards the serial console and ssh becomes responsive so i can log in and then do a clean reboot. i have s | 03:32 |
| wzssyqa | lamont: when install a new kernel,it will update /etc/kernel-img.conf? | 03:33 |
| lamont | I don't believe so | 03:35 |
| lamont | as in you'll want to manually add those lines to kernel-img.conf | 03:35 |
| lamont | and then installing a kernel will run update-grub | 03:35 |
| lamont | the bug is around "why did this go away?" | 03:35 |
| wzssyqa | lamont: why it work well before? | 03:35 |
| lamont | I haven't been following it that closely, other than being affected by it. | 03:35 |
| lamont | *shrug* | 03:35 |
| lamont | (if we knew, then the bug would be fixed already) | 03:36 |
| wzssyqa | lamont: haha | 03:36 |
| wzssyqa | lamont: i run dpkg -S /etc/kernel-img.conf,it display noting | 03:37 |
| lamont | no. edit the file /etc/kernel-img.conf as root, add those two lines at the end of it | 03:38 |
| wzssyqa | lamont: i want to ask ,how the file produce | 03:39 |
| lamont | I haven't dug into it at all | 03:45 |

| amitk | apw: I'm about to switch my dev box kernel to lucid. Any gotchas you know about? | 12:48 |

| artir | i'd wait till alpha1 | 13:01 |
| artir | which is this thursday | 13:01 |
| apw | amitk, i updated one of my crashies to it yesterday and its in one piece so far | 13:39 |
| apw | the kernel seems fine, am on it on here. though i have no sensors | 13:39 |
| amitk | apw: thats good enough for me. karmic userspace/lucid kernel on its way. | 13:42 |
| apw | i have a couple of boxes in that configuration, the only oddy so far is the loss of sensors on one lappy | 13:43 |
| apw | i am suspicious i have i915 hangs in there, yet to be proven | 13:43 |
| Keybuk | apw: both options are sane | 15:19 |
| Keybuk | DEVTMPFS_MOUNT only affects people who don't use an initramfs and gives them a ready-populated /dev | 15:20 |
| Keybuk | it makes init=/sbin/sulogin work particularly well | 15:20 |
| apw | Keybuk, ok will enable both then :) | 15:23 |
| apw | Keybuk, pgraner is saying that his machine loses KMS if he doesn't disable vga16fb | 15:23 |
| apw | (disable == blacklist) | 15:23 |
| Keybuk | yeah, I found it odd that vga16fb stays loaded | 15:23 |
| Keybuk | I had expected it to fail to load as the driver was already taken | 15:24 |
| apw | Keybuk, any suggestions as to resolution? | 15:24 |

| ubot3 | Malone bug 494062 in linux "KMS Intel Fails with Lucid Kernel" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494062 | 15:26 |
| Keybuk | apw: find out why you get a framebuffer even when vga16fb fails to bind to a device | 15:30 |
| apw | Keybuk, what i don't quite get is i don't get the same behaviour no karmic userspace (even with vga16fb) disabled | 15:31 |
| apw | enabled eve | 15:31 |
| apw | Keybuk, it makes no attempt to try and confirm it can get the device | 15:33 |
| Keybuk | weird | 15:33 |
| Keybuk | maybe it's because the vga16fb doesn't claim devices | 15:33 |
| Keybuk | but writes to some special vga bios thing? | 15:33 |
| apw | i think it just used the vgastate module to handle things | 15:34 |
| apw | its entirly possible if you opened it it would work even with kms enabled | 15:34 |
| Keybuk | I guess we'll have to go with userspace trickery for this one then | 15:35 |
| apw | Keybuk, what i need to understand is why it works fine in karmic userspace | 15:35 |
| apw | for me its completely consistant | 15:35 |
| Keybuk | hmm | 15:35 |

| apw | heh nice | 15:36 |
| apw | Keybuk, what userspace trickery would you use ... | 15:37 |
| apw | something based on the uevent still? | 15:37 |
| Keybuk | hmm | 15:37 |
| Keybuk | on lucid, if I resume from suspend, I get a black screen | 15:37 |
| Keybuk | (backlight doesn't switch on) | 15:37 |
| Keybuk | and that's without vga16fb loaded | 15:38 |
| apw | Keybuk, that sounds like other people's whinge, and pgraner confirmed blacklist of the vga16fb didn't help either | 15:38 |
| apw | Keybuk, the same kernel seems to work for me on karmic userspace | 15:38 |
| pgraner | Keybuk: just filed 494066 on that issue | 15:38 |
| Keybuk | right, so not the same thing | 15:38 |
| Keybuk | huh | 15:38 |
| Keybuk | that's odd | 15:38 |
| apw | yep, i think so too | 15:38 |
| Keybuk | wonder whether some old karmic userspace was doing something | 15:38 |
| apw | well quirks have potentially just stopped working haven't they | 15:39 |
| apw | as part of pitti's halsectomy | 15:39 |
| Keybuk | yes... but shouldn't *have* quirks | 15:39 |
| apw | we're in a world of hurt :) | 15:40 |
| apw | yay upgrade wants to remove libc6, that should be fun | 15:40 |
| Keybuk | so I guess a plan B will be to load vga16fb manually in userspace | 15:41 |
| Keybuk | rather than relying on udev auto-loading | 15:42 |
| Keybuk | :-( | 15:42 |
| apw | Keybuk, can you trigger that from the uevent still ... | 15:42 |

| Keybuk | apw: yes, I think so | 15:42 |
| gaokai | anyone help me?please | 15:42 |
| Keybuk | I was thinking, for pci 0x03 devices (graphics cards), if we don't load anything by modprobe then load vga16fb | 15:43 |
| apw | i thought root= was your root paritition, its possible its allowed to be a major,minor encoded as hex | 15:43 |
| apw | yep, thats what the modalias does | 15:43 |
| apw | match wise | 15:43 |
| apw | Keybuk, so is that a 'drop that vga16fb modalias patch?' | 15:47 |
| Keybuk | if it's causing problems, yes | 15:49 |
| Keybuk | I think we should attempt a few hours of honest debugging first | 15:49 |

| leleobhz | its possible today to backport lucid kernel to karmic (or use the same package) or its better to use http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ? | 16:00 |
| apw | leleobhz, depends what you are trying to achieve, whats in the lucid kernel that you need | 16:00 |
| leleobhz | apw: i generally dont use mainstream kernels, but i want to test energy management and intel performance increase in my netbook and notebook | 16:01 |
| leleobhz | i have a dell inspiron 9 and a intel centrino notebook | 16:02 |
| leleobhz | ive read these things have improved a lot in 2.6.32 | 16:03 |
| leleobhz | apw: what you think about? | 16:06 |
| apw | leleobhz, depends what you are trying to achieve, whats in the lucid kernel that you need | 16:10 |
| leleobhz | apw: not specifically to lucid kernel, as kernel-ppa have the mainline packages | 16:11 |
| leleobhz | i just want to know the best way to have the kernel 2.6.32 and if possible, be updated about new build of .32 | 16:12 |
| apw | there is nothing out there right now that will get you updates like that no | 16:13 |
| leleobhz | apw: i thing i ill get a little speedup and a better energy control (i have a lot of issues with power consuption) | 16:13 |
| leleobhz | mmmm | 16:13 |
| leleobhz | so make no difference use lucid kernel in karmic and use mainline from kernel-ppa? | 16:13 |

| leleobhz | apw: ? | 16:25 |
| === bjf is now known as ___bjf | ||
| apw | leleobhz, the lucid kernel in karmic is going to be more likely to have ubuntu things enabled yes, though its in a lot of development instigated instability right now as we head into alphas | 16:26 |
| leleobhz | apw: ok, but comparing http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ to actual lucid kernel package, what of them can be more stable / less broken? | 16:34 |
| leleobhz | or is the same thing | 16:34 |
| apw | well the 2.6.32 package there will never change, its a one time deal | 16:34 |
| leleobhz | (the idea is: i dont know the diference from 2.6.32 from lucid and from mainline kernel) | 16:35 |
| apw | our lucid kernel changes as i change it to add features etc for the release | 16:35 |
| apw | the lucid kernel tracks with the lucid userspace for which its designed | 16:35 |
| leleobhz | apw: so mainline is more approach to vanilla kernel? | 16:35 |
| apw | it may work with karmic, and indeed many of the kenrel team run it that way, but its a lucky dip | 16:35 |
| apw | yes the mainline builds are literally mainline commits built with our config | 16:36 |
| leleobhz | i know its designed for lucid, but i think i should get a chance, because improvements in power saving, ssd handle and intel improvements is a very interesting thing | 16:36 |
| leleobhz | hmmm | 16:36 |
| leleobhz | understood | 16:37 |
| leleobhz | i think so ill try lucid kernel | 16:37 |
| apw | neither will be idea with karmic userspace | 16:37 |
| leleobhz | ? | 16:37 |

| leleobhz | :] | 16:41 |
| leleobhz | apw: i think i shoud give a try | 16:41 |
| leleobhz | its you that was published in wiki some tests with dell mini 10v? | 16:41 |
| apw | i am running it here right now, its 'ok' considering the time of the cycle | 16:41 |
| apw | a number of us test on that as a 'reference platform' for comparison | 16:42 |
| leleobhz | but performance and energy consumption is visible from .31 to .32? | 16:42 |
| leleobhz | apw: because as i said, ill test it also in my inspiron mini 9 | 16:42 |
| apw | not something i am focused on directly, interested in boot performance mostly at this point | 16:43 |
| apw | and getting new features such as radeon kms enabled | 16:43 |
| leleobhz | apw: boot performance is good too. and i use ssd, so i think i can get a great improvement | 16:58 |
| leleobhz | but the idea is make things with intel vga faster and reduce energy comsumption | 16:58 |
| leleobhz | will test lucid kernel | 16:58 |
| leleobhz | apw: thanks a lot for you time | 16:58 |

| syn-ack | I think I'll hang here till I happen to see him... I found a bug in his mainline apparmor patch | 18:07 |
| Keybuk | ... I wonder whether that will work | 18:07 |
| ev | I'd like to set apparmor=0 for the live CD kernel command line moving forward, given that the network-interface-security upstart job causes apparmor to run, which we definitely don't want on the live CD. | 18:25 |
| ev | Does anyone have an objection to that? | 18:25 |
| ev | I should note that while I could just remove that upstart job inside casper, I'd ideally like to guard against any job on the live CD from causing apparmor to run. | 18:26 |
| syn-ack | jjohansen, Ah, just the man I was looking for. :P | 18:26 |
| jjohansen | hi | 18:27 |
| syn-ack | jjohansen, I was the one who just sent you that email re: apparmor mainline | 18:27 |
| jjohansen | okay, just give me a few seconds while I bring up my mail | 18:28 |
| syn-ack | No worries. | 18:28 |
| syn-ack | I'm gonna go have a smoke anyway. brb | 18:28 |
| jjohansen | syn-ack: when did you pull the kernel? | 18:29 |
| syn-ack | jjohansen, first time about 12 hrs ago and just an hour ago | 18:29 |
| jjohansen | okay, just an hour ago should be good, give me a few minutes to look at this | 18:30 |
| jjohansen | 12 hrs ago was probably bad as it has been really unstable with lots of updates being pushed in | 18:31 |
| syn-ack | Will do. | 18:34 |
| syn-ack | Ah, the update just showed up on gitweb, jjohansen... lemme give this one a shot | 18:49 |
| jjohansen | syn-ack: just wait a minute there is something wrong with that update | 18:49 |
| syn-ack | ack. :/ | 18:49 |
| jjohansen | syn-ack: give it a try now | 18:52 |

| apw | jjohansen, whats the status of the AA update, the meeting implied it was ready? | 19:15 |
| jjohansen | apw: I am having success building it, and ran through testing. | 19:16 |
| jjohansen | syn-ack: reported a problem with his building and he is trying again right now | 19:16 |
| syn-ack | jjohansen, No go on my end, it left me with this nice error again: http://pastebin.com/d60d5e17f | 19:16 |
| jjohansen | hrmm, strange give me a minute | 19:17 |
| syn-ack | k | 19:17 |
| Keybuk | apw: OOI, which magic do you use to cut the generated kernel packages down? | 19:18 |
| jjohansen | apw: so apparently there is some build breakage under some circumstances | 19:18 |
| Keybuk | I know about flavours=generic, but how do you get rid of things like source, libc-dev, doc, udebs, etc. | 19:18 |
| apw | Keybuk, cut them down? | 19:18 |
| Keybuk | so the build doesn't | 19:18 |
| syn-ack | jjohansen, this is what I'm using to build: CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=3 fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-laptop-custom-5 kernel_image kernel_headers | 19:18 |
| apw | oh when i build i generally use like fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic | 19:19 |
| Keybuk | ah | 19:19 |
| Keybuk | yeah that doesn't work with pbuilder ;) | 19:20 |
| jjohansen | syn-ack: got it and replicated | 19:20 |
| apw | ah ... that i can imaging ... | 19:20 |
| syn-ack | jjohansen, Good deal | 19:20 |
| apw | jjohansen, so this is likely only going to affect 'mainline' users not me? | 19:21 |
| jjohansen | apw: this should only take a couple minutes to fix | 19:22 |
| jjohansen | its just an include statement not finding its file | 19:22 |
| syn-ack | Thats what I figured | 19:22 |
| jjohansen | strange that it works building one way and not another | 19:23 |
| syn-ack | What are you using to build with? | 19:27 |
| Keybuk | apw: I think it's funny that I instinctively bump the kernel ABI every time now | 19:46 |
| Keybuk | JUST IN CASE | 19:46 |
| jjohansen | syn-ack: give it a try now | 19:48 |
| syn-ack | standby | 19:49 |
| jjohansen | syn-ack: I had just been using make O= | 19:49 |
| syn-ack | ah | 19:49 |
| syn-ack | That is kinda funny that it wouldnt build then | 19:49 |
| jjohansen | it was a stupid little bug | 19:49 |
| jjohansen | yeah, strange that it would work with make O= but not make | 19:50 |
| syn-ack | jjohansen, "ITS ALWAYS SOME MUNDANE DETAIL" | 19:50 |

| jjohansen | yeah mundane love to trip me up | 19:51 |

| syn-ack | man, I'm still getting used to these Blinkenlights on my wifi killswitch | 19:52 |
