[00:47] * kamalm frowns -- here's a puzzler - I sent my patch to LKML and cc: achiang more than 2.5 hours ago but it hasn't appeared on LKML (archive or my subscription) - I received my bcc: copy and I think achiang received the cc: copy but why hasn't it hit LKML? been plenty of other traffic since then. :-( [00:50] kamalm: lkml has a delay [00:50] I don't know why exactly, but it's a multi-hour delay [00:54] kamalm: i got it twice, actually [00:54] cnd: ah, okay then, that would explain it. By looking at the "Date:" headers on other messages, it appeared to me that there was no "extra" delay - i'll keep waiting [00:55] achiang: I actually did re-send it again, after thinking that my excessively long To: line might have been the problem I fixed that and re-sent. (wasn't patient enough - oops). [00:55] nod [00:59] * cnd fears lkml too much to resend unless it's been over a day :) [00:59] oh wait, kamalm, this is your acpi patch right? [01:00] yes [01:00] did you send it to linux-acpi? [01:00] yes [01:00] ok [01:00] hasn't arrived there either [01:00] I don't think sending it to lkml is required as well [01:00] are you subscribed to linux-acpi? [01:01] Documentation/SubmittingPatches said that you should also send to linux-kernel "unless you have a good reason not to" [01:01] cnd: I think I'm not sub'd to linux-acpi [01:02] kamalm: ahhh, I learn something new every day then :) [01:03] looks like LMKL might have a "greylist delay" thing going http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org/msg149954.html [01:06] cnd: re: linux-acpi -- I'm not subscribed but watching its archive page for my post to appear. I wonder if it accepts posts from non-subscribers. I *am* subscribed to LKML [01:06] kamalm: it does. i'm on it. your mail hasn't hit the list yet [01:07] kamalm: i'd recommend going for a beer or a walk. :) [01:08] and speaking of beer... it's about that time. :) [01:08] i suppose I should be on it too... why not, just one more list, right? yeah, I've decided that it's probably a greylist delay so I'll just wait till tomorrow :-) beer sounds right. [01:13] * JFo recommends Crown Royal Black if you haven't tried it yet :) [01:17] JFo: is that whisky? [01:17] cnd, yep [01:18] sounds good to me, but all I've got here is some jim beam [01:18] that works too :-) [01:18] * JFo goes off to refill his glass and watch a movie [01:18] night all [01:19] at the rate I've been traveling though, I hardly need anything between my various trips [07:11] Hi. Does 10.04 have a kernel that has DMA remapping option enabled ? It is essential for kvm device passthrough virtualization [07:15] cmug: do you know the CONFIG_ parameter? [07:18] jk-, CONFIG_DMAR [07:18] CONFIG_DMAR=y [07:18] CONFIG_DMAR_DEFAULT_ON=y [07:19] # CONFIG_DMAR is not set [07:19] :( Is that same for every available kernel image ? [07:19] this is the generic flavour though... [07:19] yeah, perhaps there should be a linux-image-virtualization or something ? [07:23] doesn't look to be enabled in -server [07:26] :( I guess it's not called Experimental for no reason. But AFAIK it is crucial for the device passthrough functionality [07:26] and it's kind of a showstopper for me [07:27] not keen to build you own? [07:29] I like updates [07:29] everyone likes updates :) [07:29] Yeah [07:30] Maybe somebody can create a PPA with the kernel with DMAR enabled [07:30] maybe it already exists, don't know [07:30] i volunteer you to do that :D [07:31] I can do that if I knew how [07:31] Need to investigate [07:31] btw, is lucid released today (28th) ? [07:32] no [07:32] 29th [07:33] ok, I was just hoping since it is still 27th in the west coast of USA :) [08:11] too late to request something for 10.04 i assume? [08:12] given that it's out tomorrow, probably yes :) [08:15] aww :( [08:16] i'll wait till 10.10 then [09:33] csurbhi, so what's going wrong - I've not see this kind of problem before === Ng_ is now known as Ng [11:25] * akgraner waves to apw - got a sec? [11:25] akgraner, wassup [11:26] Open week :-D stuffs - see pm [16:16] * JFo stretches out [16:18] hi there cking :) [16:20] JFo, hiya [16:20] JFo, Rikki can't test the patch til Friday [16:21] akgraner, hmmm [16:21] is this an issue for you all [16:21] I think they are wanting this to go into a day 0 update [16:21] she is doing some livestreaming [16:21] and steve will need the confirmation before he releases it from proposed [16:21] hmm let me call her [16:21] ok [16:22] k [16:22] don't quote me as that is an interpretation [16:22] *nods* [16:25] JFo, nope she can't til Friday - they yanked out her HD and her machine is the what they are using for streaming [16:25] those changes should be in the kernel in the kernel pre-proposed PPA [16:25] She wants to be a good bug reported - but the computer they were going to use for streaming never showed up yesterday [16:31] csurbhi: so basically server team was looking for an update on ext4 performance and I haven't followed if there has been anything new recently [16:33] jjohansen, I havent done any benchmarks recently [16:34] and have not read anything on osnwes or phoronix report as well [16:34] psurbhi: okay, so basically the same status as at the sprint [16:34] yes [16:34] psurbhi: it came up because of this http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_lts_perf&num=2 [16:35] looks like phoronix, rerunning the same tests again a couple weeks ago [16:35] ok [16:36] ya, comparing 2.6.24 ext3 and 2.6.32 ext4 :O [16:42] * JFo goes to have some lunch === bjf is now known as elBoto === elBoto is now known as bjf [16:58] elBoto list [16:58] bjf: Admin, Channel, Config, Misc, Owner, and User [16:58] can you hear me now ?

[17:26] ah this bot is stupid [17:26] ... and what does he do [17:26] what kind of bot is it, supybot? [17:27] elBoto [~supybot@pool-98-108-129-180.ptldor.fios.verizon.net] [17:27] guess so :) [17:27] pgraner: ping [17:28] jussi, he is in London, so he may be out for the night [17:28] jussi: pong [17:28] or not :) [17:28] JFo: nope I'm omnipresent [17:28] pgraner: hi, may I pm? [17:28] jussi: sure [17:28] pgraner, hah! [17:28] Hi, where can I find linux-image-2.6.32-20-generic? I can't find it in packages.ubuntu.com nor in http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/... I think it's the last one that'll boot with my intel 845 graphics card. [17:29] (-19 boots, -21 doesn't, and I never tried -20) [17:32] alkisg, I have been fortunate enough to never need to go back to an older kernel that I hadn't installed [17:32] vanhoof, was going to add a launchpad plugin to it [17:32] bjf, any iodea where older kernels are located? [17:32] JFo: I wish I was so lucky... :) [17:32] read, older recent kernels? [17:32] JFo, nope, was asking you that yesterday :-) [17:32] alkisg, :) [17:32] bjf, oh yeah :-) [17:33] apw, you still around? [17:33] JFo, wassup [17:33] apw, where would one go to find 32.20 kernel now? [17:33] bjf and I were wondering yesterday too [17:33] jfo an old build you mean? [17:33] yessir [17:34] apw, yes please :) [17:35] JFo, they are all in the launchpad librararian [17:35] hmmmm [17:35] * JFo goes to look [17:36] https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory [17:36] then click on the version you want, and then the build arch you want [17:36] and there are the .debs [17:36] ah hah! [17:36] thank you sir [17:36] Thank you both very much :) [17:37] JFo, that rocks! [17:37] bjf, that does very much [17:57] @list [17:57] bjf: Admin, Channel, Config, Misc, Owner, and User [18:03] @list [18:03] apw: Admin, Channel, Config, Misc, Owner, and User [18:06] bjf: use your powers and change topic :) [18:07] amitk, just tried and failed === bjf changed the topic of #ubuntu-kernel to: Home: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/ || Lucid Kernel Version: 2.6.32 || Ubuntu Kernel Team Meeting - May-17 - 17:00 UTC [18:15] apw, sconklin: did "UBUNTU: SAUCE: KMS: cache the EDID information of the LVDS" get dropped on purpose or was it just lost with the drm backport as well? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=commit;h=c5155725948be57010c4a558a1b9c5ddefb864c3 [18:21] Sarvatt, hrm not sure ... i thought that was an upstream job, and should still be in [18:22] Sarvatt, i cannot see the expected messages in dmesg from it ... could you email me to remind me to look pls [18:27] sure thing, sorry I didn't bring it up directly earlier [20:06] I'm attempting to debug a suspend-resume issue with a new Dell Inspiron i3 based machine using the following methods: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspend but am running into a brick wall. Was hoping for some other pointers. [20:07] bjf says manjo might be a good resource...if you're around [20:08] bguthro, is the problem with suspend or resume ? [20:08] Resume: Things seem to go down fine...but never come back. I always have to cold boot. [20:08] bguthro, what graphics card do you have ? [20:08] are you able to ssh to the box ? [20:09] no. completely dead. The backlight doesn't even light up. The power light goes from pulsing, to solid...and I get a blip of the HDD, but then it is just stuck [20:10] I've tried adding modules to the list to unload in /usr/lib/pm-utils/defaults - but no dice, so far [20:10] I've also reproduced this on an i5 (also an inspiron) [20:11] graphics card is the integrated i3 chip [20:11] it uses the i915 driver, though [20:11] bguthro, have you tried using PM_DEBUG & PM_TRACE ? [20:12] I tried the echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace - Is there more I can try? [20:12] bguthro, the instruction are in linux-2.6/Documentation/power/s2ram.txt [20:13] I'll take a look, thanks [20:13] bguthro, also looks at basic-pm-debugging.txt [20:14] bguthro, its hard to remote help debug suspend/resume issues without real hw in front [20:15] bguthro, if you can try that then we can figure out the offending module / device [20:15] bguthro, also try with nokms [20:15] will i915 still boot? I've had issues with that in the past... [20:16] but I'll give it a shot [20:16] bguthro, ie nomodeset [20:16] I guess I tried with i915.modeset=0 [20:17] ok [20:18] bguthro, All drivers: nomodeset - this will disable the kernel modesetting feature [20:23] the only hash matches I got was against "tty tty57" - attempting with nomodeset now, but X doesn't seem too happy. I'm not getting any graphics [20:24] plymouth came up (somewhat garbled) - and then it became unresponsive. [20:26] yeah...even booting without "splash" - X fails to come up properly. [20:26] unfortunately, this machine has no serial line, and no dock...so I can't even see if a trace is coming out or not. [20:39] bguthro, what model of dell is it ? [20:39] testing all modes in /sys/power/pm_test succeed, but when I echo none to it, the system does not come back. According to the documentation, this suggests that it is in the invocation of the platform firmware [20:40] It is an Inspiron 1434 [20:40] sorry 1464 [20:40] bguthro, my dell contact is offline, I will check with him to see if there is a bios update for this [20:40] also seen on a 1764 [20:40] or firmware [20:41] * manjo makes of note of the dell models [20:41] I updated the Bios today to the latest posted on the site. [20:41] I did not check for firmware [20:42] bguthro, I will check on these models.. [20:42] thank you [20:42] to see if they have any recommendations [20:43] bguthro, pm me your email [20:49] bguthro: that sounds a lot like what kamalm was working on. [20:49] bguthro: which kernel? [20:50] 2.6.32-21-generic [20:52] bguthro: any chance you could try an upstream kernel? and pass acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable on the kernel cmdline? [20:59] bguthro, achiang: the acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable feature looks like it was applied to Lucid http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=summary (see the Zhang Rui change) but I'm not sure where one would get a binary .deb which includes it. [21:00] I'm not opposed to rebuilding myself. Should I just clone the git tree? [21:01] bguthro: this will be much easier: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc5-lucid/ [21:02] ah yes, look at all those tasty kernels in .../mainline :-) thanks achaing [21:02] will give it a try after filing the launchpad bug for manjo [21:03] bguthro: which bug is that? a bug for this s/r problem? [21:03] achiang, he is filing now [21:04] won't it just be dup'ed to whatever bug kamalm fixed with his recent patch that adds dell machines to the quirk list? [21:04] manjo: ^^ [21:04] kamalm: what was the LP bug for your dell fix? [21:05] achiang, yes if its the same bug [21:05] achiang: nope -- my patch specifically adds 3 different "Dell Studio" models -- no effect on other models [21:05] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/553498 [21:05] Malone bug 553498 in linux "Dell Studio 1558 (Arrandale) hangs on resume from suspend" [Medium,Fix committed] [21:05] kamalm, that looks diff [21:05] lets wait for bguthro to finish filing his bug :) [21:08] grrr...got all the way through, and it failed.

[21:21] bguthro: the symptoms do sound the same -- the acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable sounds like a good thing to try here. [21:22] with .32 or the .34 referenced above? [21:22] kamalm: manjo: btw, i had a conversation with lenb on #acpi this am ; intel are aware of these crappy BIOSes coming out [21:22] not sure what action they plan on taking right now [21:22] maybe forceful beating about the head and shoulders with a cluebat [21:23] well dell says they do a good job of testing bios etc before they release machines ... [21:23] Well, everyone's signed off on the generic fix other than Len [21:23] I guess they test only with windows [21:23] manjo: i have some great property in florida i'd like to sell you too. ;) [21:23] achiang, how many acres do you have ? [21:23] mjg59: the generic fix being to just force sci_enable on all the time? [21:24] I am not intersted in 42 [21:24] manjo: as many as you'd like. ;) [21:24] heh [21:24] kamalm: No, to do the register write if the system fails to set it itself [21:24] hi.. I'm trying to use mainline kernel , but why is there no *all.deb for this kernel? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.11-lucid/ [21:25] So, in order, follow the spec, do something that's mildly against spec, do something that wildly violates the spec [21:28] OK, so .34 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-rc5-lucid/linux-image-2.6.34-020634rc5-generic_2.6.34-020634rc5_amd64.deb and the acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable flag seems to do the trick [21:28] bguthro, cool... can you throw that info in the bug ? [21:29] achiang, so this bad bios that vendors are aware of ? [21:29] kamalm: Is this a generic flag in the .32 kernel - or is this only accepted upstream? (ie - can I Cherry-pick it for a build) [21:29] manjo: according to irc scuttlebutt, yes [21:29] maybe not dell, but lenovo are aware [21:30] bguthro, might be good to put that info in the bug ... I pointed jerone at it ... he will follow up with dell [21:31] manjo: bug updated [21:31] thnx [21:31] bguthro: as far as I know, the fix has been applied upstream -- we cherry-picked it from kernel.org (I think). [21:33] folks, according to the map it seems 2.6.32-21.32 is 2.6.32.11 mainline , but it doesnt have the *all.deb package.. how do i test with the mainline version then? [was asked to check for a bug] [21:33] not there for > http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.11-lucid/ [21:34] manjo: still trying to understand this statement: " we track degu on ^^ #bug" [21:34] manjo: are you telling me to join a channel? [21:37] kamalm: Same acpi_sleep=sci_force_enable added to 2.6.32-21-generic to no effect. Did this get cherry picked after this binary was built for us.archive.ubuntu.com? [21:37] achiang, my fingers did not follow my brain on that one [21:38] bguthro: looking [21:39] manjo: ok, just trying to make sure you're not asking me to take some action of some sort. :) === bjf is now known as bjf[afk] [21:39] heh [21:40] achiang, now don't make me the action man :) [21:40] bguthro: per http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=shortlog the acpi_sleep= feature was added 5 days ago and so first appears in 2.6.32-22. [21:41] bguthro: I'm afraid I don't know how that relates to binaries on us.archive.ubuntu.com. [21:42] kamalm: sounds like I'm one digit off.

[23:38] If previous is true, should it be sent upstream? [23:39] Finally, since it does display clear data from the previous session, is this to be considered as a security issue? (And is it a bug in Karmic rather, that doesn't clear the video buffer properly?) [23:40] arand, do you have a dual boot setup ? [23:43] manjo: ubuntu kk & ll yes (and 3xWindows) [23:45] arand, does that commit you posted on the bug link fix the issue ? [23:46] manjo: Ah, no. That's the version (and from what I know the specific commit) of the upstream kernel I tested, and confirmed that the issue is still present, on. [23:46] I'll clarify that in a comment...
