maxbI have a weird problem (bug 492392) for which I'm contemplating bisecting the kernel. Are there instructions on how best to do this on Ubuntu?11:31
ubot3`Malone bug 492392 in linux "[lucid, intel] After suspend, flickering screen and then blank screen." [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/49239211:32
apwmaxb, not really any goo dones i know of11:44
maxbGuess I'll just try a vanilla-style kernel build from upstream git and hope that works out for me11:46
jk-_maxb: if you're just looking at trying a mainline kernel, take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds11:49
=== jk-_ is now known as jk-
maxbwell, the main objective is to bisect11:51
jk-sure11:52
maxbGah, If I wasn't on holiday I could probably bisect with the prebuilt drm-intel-next images :-/11:57
maxbNet connection here just isn't up to it, though11:57
apwmaxb whats the intel h/w there?12:10
maxbapw: "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)"12:48
maxbIn an Aspire One12:48
maxbkernel build on netbook is slooooow12:49
maxbI think I need to trim down the config12:49
apwmaxb, don't do that, it hurts12:49
apw(building on a netbook, i have heard reports of 5 hours12:49
maxbShorter than running the Launchpad testsuite, then12:49
maxb:-)12:49
dandelmaxb, does your netbook have a solid state disk?12:49
maxbNo, HD12:50
apwwell at least it won't die as well12:50
apwmaxb how slow is your downlink where you are?12:50
apwif you only have to download the binary package, its 20mb12:51
maxbI'm starting to think that would be better :-)12:52
maxbIt's ADSL, but pretty poor ADSL12:52
dandelapw, the final bug result from the acpi team of linux on ubuntu bug number 338701 has been decided.12:52
apwso at least 3Mb/s12:52
maxbhah12:52
maxboh, maybe, in megabits/s12:53
maxb26MB for an image isn't that bad. Repeat many times over for bisecting, however...12:53
* maxb ponders USB-booting brother's desktop into linux :-)12:54
apwmaxb it needs to be a quick USB stick to not be slower12:55
apwmaxb should be like 8 or 10 max for a bisect no?12:55
apwi am doing one now, with builds, and its sayind ~612:56
apwarrrg, and i just built the wrong damn thing12:58

NCommanderapw, the bot just checks the nick so I just changed my to bjf so I could #endmeeting :-)13:07
apwvery sensible.  i think that means its been that way since tue last week13:07
apwand that makes sense cause we had a netsplit and he couldn't finish the meeting13:07
NCommanderapw, its a pity the bot doesn't just auto-timeout after awhile13:15
apwor take #endmeeting DAMMIT13:16

crimsunbjf-afk: I've completed the powerdown fixes for Analog Devices HDA codecs. In lieu of rebuilding kernel images, may I toss you the patch and ask you to apply it for your c-o-d debs so that we can get testing coverage before I officially submit it?15:40
crimsunbjf-afk: also, I'm just about finished with similar fixes for Realtek HDA codecs, should be finished around the first week of the new calendar year given holidays, etc.15:41
rtgcrimsun, you should send him an email. I think he's scheduled for vacation until Jan 4,15:45
crimsunrtg: cheers15:46
apwtjaalton, about?16:23
tjaaltonapw: yo16:27
apwtjaalton, do you have a copy of roaf's nouveau-scratchpad branch anywhere?  the one with the four exports etc for nouveau|16:28
apwhis site seems to be in a hole16:28
tjaaltonapw: would it be easier to pick them up from what went in .33?16:29
apwand it sounded like you had seen it when we talked yesterday16:29
tjaaltonI haven't copied it, no16:29
apwi don't want the whole heap of drm changes16:29
tjaaltonjust the nouveau ones16:29
apwfor this intial evaluation, i want to test his contention that it can be pulled in16:29
apwi'll have to go look whats in .33 then ... hoping to save some scrabbling16:29
tjaaltona sec, I'll give you the emails16:30
apwi have the branch name, just its down16:30
tjaaltonno I mean the ones airlied sent16:30

ubot3`Malone bug 499422 in linux "[lucid] early segmentation fault in libc during startup" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/49942218:41
apwcurrently reported against the kernel.  there are rumors that it goes away if you turn of KMS, but also random reports of it ocurring with some kernels and not others18:41
apwsounds like a race somewhere to me18:41
apwi think a task on wait-for-root is appropriate at least for now, is that udev?18:42

mptHi, I have a packaging question: Why do all the kernel image packages have "Section: base" rather than "Section: kernel"?18:49
KeybukI think the kernel section is new18:50
apwhrm, hadn't heard there was a new section for kernels18:50
Keybukmpt: we don't keep up to date on debian-policy as obsessively as Debian do18:51
Keybukapw: added about six months ago; http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/03/msg00010.html18:51
mptI'd thought maybe it was old and being abandoned. I hadn't thought it was new and just not yet adopted. :-)18:51
mptthanks Keybuk 18:52
apwKeybuk, should be we switching?18:52
mptKeybuk, I see that message has definitions of the new sections, but <http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-subsections> does not. Is there a list of official definitions somewhere?18:53
* apw is half sure we just changed them18:53
apw    UBUNTU: Use section 'admin' rather than 'base'18:54
apwyeah our kernels are in admin now18:54
mpt"admin" isn't "kernels" either18:55
mptor "kernel", I should say18:56
apwadmin _is_ where the archive admins asked us to move it to though18:56
apwperhaps we don't have a kernels in ubuntu18:56
mptWe do, it contains half a dozen packages18:56
Keybukmpt: debian-policy has the list somewhere18:57
apwwell cjwatson supplied the patch to change it to admin ... hrm18:57
mptdrbd8-source, linux-firmware-nonfree, batman-adv-source, etc (this is all in 9.10)18:57
Keybukmpt: in fact, it has the list at the URL you just gave18:57
mptKeybuk, yes, I'm looking for definitions of each of those.18:57
Keybukoh, doubt it18:57
Keybukit's probably worth a bug assigned to cjwatson to make a decision18:58
Keybuksection can affect things like CD image generation18:58
Keybukmoving the kernel suddenly could break things18:58
apwyeah ... he changed it to match the archive overrides as that made accepting new kernels much easier18:58
mptKeybuk, ok, I'll report it unless someone who can't stand someone as ignorant as me doing it says they'll do it first ;-)19:00
apwfeel free, could you tag it lucid please19:01
mptIs drbd8-source (for example) still in "kernel" section in Lucid? I'm not running it yet, and packages.ubuntu.com doesn't say19:07
mpt(and neither does <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/drbd8-source/2:8.3.3-0ubuntu1>)19:09
mptReported bug 499557. Thanks for the info19:15

dhillon-v10hey guys, I am looking at the bug here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/287576 what should be done in this case, it seems that the bug has been fixed for one person but not others19:17
ubot3`Malone bug 287576 in linux "usb devices not recognized automatically when plugged in a hub" [Medium,Incomplete] 19:17
apwwas the one person the reporter?19:30
apwdhillon-v10, looks to be the reporter who is reporting things are fixed19:31
apwnoone else has repsonded to testing requests, so as its fixed for the reporter pretty much by definnition it is fixed, and it appears we released a stable update to fix it, so Fix Released19:32
apwi would move it Fix Released with the comment "if you are still having issues it must be another similar issue and needs a new bug"19:33
dhillon-v10apw, thanks that's one bug down :D19:35
apwcool.  like the sounds of that19:37
