amitkyou?08:21
* smb good mornings the channel08:22
* amitk good mornings smb08:24
smbhi amitk 08:24
amitk.. and adds "morning" to webster's dictionary as a verb08:24
cooloneyapw and amitk smb, good morning guys, what's up08:26
smbcooloney, I am (more or less) :-P08:26
apwamitk, heheh08:26
apwsmb, moin08:27
apwcooloney, just fighting aufs2 and the liveCDs08:27
cooloneysmb: do we still have the kernel debug package?08:27
smbapw, still?08:27
apwsmb, the fighting is now to ensure i've got and tested the right image08:27
smbcooloney, you mean on ddebs.ubuntu.com?08:27
cooloneyso if we wanna to debug a module, we need a .ko with debug info, right?08:27
apwi think its fixed08:27
apwcooloney, symbols are often helpful08:28
smbThe only problem might be I did not upload lately08:28
amitkapw: will union-mounts happen?08:28
smbThey would be there with the next security update08:28
apwamitk, too soon to tell, i am waiting on testing of it08:28
apwsmb, i think lucid is the only one missing isn't it?08:28
apwjust due to luck08:29
cooloneysmb: since our kernel package including the module which were --strip-debug, how's the debug kernel package?08:29
smbapw, Would need to check. I changed another one to the new format08:29
smbapw, Might have been karmic08:29
smbcooloney, Its packaged without strip08:29
apwsmb, yeah but last i looked there was .31 ones there08:29
smbcooloney, http://ddebs.ubuntu.com/pool/main/l/linux/08:30
cooloneysmb: yeah, so that's for debugging. but i never use that before. this question comes from TI guys08:30
smbcooloney, But if you need Lucid, it will take one or two more days08:30
smbcooloney, The package basically contains the unstrippeped modules and the full vmlinux08:31
cooloneysmb: thanks a lot. cool, fully understand now08:31
cooloneysmb: if someone wanna debug the modules, he can install this debug kernel package, right?08:31
smbcooloney, right, if they don't vanish again, which should not be the case, hopefully...08:32
* amitk recovers from hours of reading the "suspend blocker api" thread on LKML08:32
smbAn api to block suspend or one to find them?08:33
amitksmb: an api to block suspend after enabling "automatic aggressive suspend" (called opportunistic suspend by Google)08:35
cooloneyapw: is there any way to build udebs from a source package?08:35
cooloneyapw: i can use sbuild to get udebs. is there another way?08:35
smbcooloney, skip_dbg=false08:36
cooloneyi tried 'fdr binary-arch', but no udebs. 08:36
cooloneysmb: skipdbg=false for udebs?08:36
smberr udebs08:36
* smb clear his glasses08:36
cooloneysmb: i think that is for debug package, right?08:36
smbcooloney, Yeah, forget what I said08:36
smbcooloney, I would not thinks so because you need the modules to be build to create packages with the modules referenced08:37
apwcooloney, ok udebs are currently only enabled if you have /CurrentlyBuilding08:37
cooloneyapw: no idea what's /CurrentlyBuilding08:38
cooloneyapw: a directory which i need to create manually?08:39
smbcooloney, Its a file08:39
apwits possible that if you build binary-arch binary-udebs it will do it08:39
apwbut if you make /CurrentlyBuilding in the chroot, it will also build it08:39
smbcooloney, sudo touch /CurrentlyBuilding in your chroot08:40
* cooloney finds using sbuild to native build my ti-omap4 source package is very fast in tyler.mills08:40
* apw adds _documenting_ and cleaning up the controls for all releases to his TODO08:40
cooloneyjust 1 hr08:40
apwcooloney, that sounds acceptable to me08:41
cooloneysmb and apw, yeah, does that work for cross compiling?08:42
cooloney'fdr binary-arch binary-udebs' works for cross compiling? 08:42
apwthe problem is if linux-tools is enabled it does not work08:44
apwso yuo'll need do_tools=false at least to cross compile i think08:44
cooloneyapw, ok, no problem, i will try that.08:44
apwcking, hey ... when filing bugs on iso testing, is there any special magic for that?09:09
apwie. how do identify the bugs so they can be found09:09
ckingapw, there is a field in the bug tracker as per test case to enter the bug number - this is all I do09:13
apwcking, ok thanks09:13
ckingbut there may be some tags that I don't know about09:14
ckingAll the notes say is: "Please report any bugs you identify in Launchpad and report on the success or failure of the test in the tracker: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/"09:15
ckingapw, you biting the QA bullet - cool!09:15
apwcking, dipping a toe in the pool09:15
ckingsee how many bugs you can find - I aim for 4 each spin - usually it ends up as stupid ones (e.g. broken eye candy) 09:16
ericm_apw, I've added the link bjf mentioned in the reply to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MeetingHowTo for easier reference, hope that's OK09:20

ogralooking at https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.34-5.13/+build/1768097 we dont seem to build any omap udebs at all anymore13:06
=== smb-afk is now known as smb
apwogra, it seems unlikely we ever did13:13
ograwe did with the topic branch in lucid13:13
ogra(and we need them for netinst images)13:14
ograthere seem to also be issues with the DSS code on a beagle XM13:14
apwogra, yep but omap in maverick is a complete rebuild13:14
ograi know13:14
apwogra, its a shame noone ever tests things when they go in, only the day before the milest13:14
ograi'm just examining the omap3 kernel now and note down issues i find :)13:15
ograi dont test because A1 is due :)13:15
ograwe dont build A1 images for arm13:15
ograits just coincidence :)13:15
ograapw, btw, would there be a chance to not have the kernel produce an oops if it doesnt find its rootfs device and instead have it spit out a userfriendly error msg ?13:16
=== cking is now known as cking-afk
ograhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/443294/ is what i typically get if there is no rootfs device 13:17
apwogra, i thought it dropped to busybox13:17
ogranot if you dont have an initramfs13:17
ograsee the bottom of the paste13:18
apwthen its meant to tell you which things you have13:18
ograi seem to remember (from my pre ubuntu times) that it properly panicked and gave a useful error 13:18
apwogra, given that shows the card appearing the instant before it explodes i suspect this is not cause it doesn't find root13:18
ograi'm only using initramfs since ubuntu :)13:19
apwwhen my root is missing i see a panic which ends with a list of the filesystems and devices available13:19
ograweird13:19
ograi get the panic since i use arm 13:19
ograactually i got used to have it but thinking about it i remember it was not always that way13:19
apwfrom the panic i'd say that a timer is firing to flash the cursor, but the framebuffer didn't initialise13:20
ograyes, there are definately other issues with that kernel on the XM board i'm justy trying13:20
apw[    2.365386] Waiting for root device /dev/mmcblk0p2...13:20
apw[    2.385223] mmc0: new SD card at address aff713:20

apw[    2.395141]  mmcblk0: p1 p213:20
ograbut i see the oops across all arm arches13:20
apwfrom that you can even see that the disk was appearing, so its not at all clear its anything to do with root at all13:21
ograi also saw it on imx51 before or on dove when experimenting with SDs without rootfs and initrd13:21
apwnotice it dies here:13:21
apw[    2.490692] LR is at cursor_timer_handler+0x34/0x3813:21
apwthat sounds very suspicious13:21
ograhmm13:22
* ogra unpacks a rootfs to the SD 13:26
apwogra, that callback seems to be the cursor flasher ... every half second13:29
apwi think there is a bug in the omap fb which is leaving the cursor running when it fails to init13:30
ograyeah, you are right, i even get the oops with a valid rootfs in place13:31
ograthe DSS/frambuffer code is a mess on omap i guess we will need a bunch of patches from the linux-omap tree to make it work13:31
* apw can't hear you :)13:32
ogra(it doesnt work at all on the touchbook or zoom2)13:32
apwi am somewhat intriqued who tested the image and what on, cause it was tested13:32
ograand apparently also on the beagle XM13:32
apwi suspect just an official beagle is the only one supported13:32
ograit likely works on one of the older beagles13:32
ograXM is official13:32
ograzoom2 is official too but will need patches13:33
ograwe agreed to support all these devices 13:33
apwXM will be official at release, i am sure up to now we've not even had one13:33
ograAI touchbook would be a nice to have since its an actual ARM netbook out there13:33
ograapw, we have two in the company since about two months :)13:33
apwogra, and who has them ?13:33
apwi bet noone who is doing the kernel work13:34
ograamitk had one for kernel, not sure where it went13:34
ograi have one as well13:34
ograand i think there were even more13:34
ograplars and jamiebennet used to have one each iirc but i'm not 100% sure13:34
ograi am sure about the ones amitk and i have though13:35
apwshame that its eric doing the kernel work... ho hum13:35
ograheh13:35
ograerm, you mean bryan13:35
apwpossibly, the disconnect is the same13:35
ograhe is doing omap4 atm 13:35
ograand he is doing it awesome :) without having HW at all i got a fully working kernel for my blaze board :)13:36
apwthen i suspect noone is doing it13:36
apwho hum13:36
ograi know mpoirier and lag are supposed to do omap 13:36
ograunder leadership of cooloney and amitk 13:36
ograbut cooloney is busy with omap4 for the special 10.07 release13:37
amitkapw: ogra: The HW situation should improve soon(ish). We should probably revisit our HW allocations and get unused boards into hands of people that need them13:39
ograyeah13:39
dupondjeNow that there is some action here, could somebody tell me if http://dupondje.be/DSCF1025.JPG can be caused by a broken BIOS?13:42
apwdupondje, hard to say as thats not the first panic13:46
=== cking-afk is now known as cking
ckingdupondje, if you could capture more of the first panic then we could say for certain - the trace before the apic timer interrupt would be handy13:47
apwdupondje, the panic you do have implies a CPU is offline when we are not expecting it to be so, if its repeating then we are truly confused13:48
dupondjeI need full hd tv :P13:48

apwmpoirier_, arround an hour ?18:47
mpoirier_is there a way to disable all the udebs except the one you are interesed  in ?18:47
mpoirier_no, more than that.  I'll 'time' it next time.18:47
apwif you are considering that to make things faster you won't gain anything, as the whole kernel being built is a pre-requisite to generate any udebs18:48
apwmpoirier_, once i have this lot fixed I should be able to cross compile only one flavour and generate udebs for it18:48
apwwhich for me here takes about 20 mins18:48

Keybukapw: it hasn't happened yet18:51
Keybukapw: your initargs kernel didn't build, so there's no deb to try18:52
apwKeybuk, crap will sort that out18:53
Keybukdid the "was used" patches end up in the maverick kernel?18:54
apwKeybuk, nope not yet18:54

apwogasawara, you abuot ?20:15
ogasawaraapw: yep20:15
apwyo ... are you doing the -rc1 rebase 'next' ?20:15
apwas i am reminded it will need an aufs update before it will build right20:15
ogasawaraapw: was just starting20:15
apwso as soon as you have the base rebase, perhaps you can push it somewhere i can get to it20:15
ogasawaraapw: just squashing debian commits as we speak20:15
ogasawaraapw: ack20:16
apwand i'll do the update for aufs in the morning on top20:16

JFoexcellent!21:09
dupondjeneed to mark the bug as New again ? or you change status ? :)21:12
smoserhey all.21:14
smoserlets just pretend that i had a hardy xen domU running 2.6.24-24-xen21:14
smoserwhat would be the most reasonable way to get ext4 filesystem support for that pretend guest21:14
JFodupondje, I have changed it21:19
JFoI was reading over the bug21:20
dupondjeany idea what could be causing it ? could it be an instable BIOS version ?21:21
tgardnersmoser, I don't think you can. ext4 did not exist for 2.6.24 IIRC21:23
smoserwell, it does exist. its there.21:23
smoserat least ./Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt21:23
smoserits just likely old and buggy21:23
tgardnersmoser, its was probably a preview and marked EXPERIMENTAL21:24
smoseryes21:24
dupondjeJFo: also notice the segfaults, seems like some apps segfault randomly also :s21:28
JFodupondje, not sure what could be causing it. odd that some apps are segfaulting randomly21:30
dupondjeits totally random also 21:31
dupondjehappens since I changed CPU and did BIOS upgrade ... but before it was a single core, now quad .. so21:35
jjohansensmoser: define support?  You could build the module externally, but no one will provide any kind of support for ext4 on 2.6.2421:37
smoseri need it to work.21:37
smoseri'm guessing reasonable ext4 support is not backported that far back.21:38
smoserthe driver in 2.6.24 will probably compile and maybe even work.21:38
smoserright now our UEC images build system is running the aforementioned kernel version, and I want to build images with an ext4 filesystem, which requires mounting said filesystem.21:39
jjohansenI don't think reasonable ext4 support for 2.6.24 is viable21:39
jjohansenyou should be able to compile the fs and have it mostly work21:39
jjohansenthere will be bugs (ext4 still has bugs)21:39
manjosmoser, make sure you have latest bug fixes for ext4, lucid kernel is missing those too, Bug #588069 21:40

smosermanjo, i was assuming you had volunteered to backport for me21:45

smoserthanks all, i got somewhat what i expected.21:47
kamalmjg59: Hi -- A few weeks ago you proposed overriding the often-busted ACPI brightness control with an i915 opregion-based method -- I have implemented such a scheme -- are you available to talk about it?22:01
stentenCan someone help me finish triaging Bug #587136?22:30
ubot2Launchpad bug 587136 in linux (Ubuntu) "2nd Resume from Suspend results in reboot on Toshiba Satellite U400. Fixed in 2.6.34 Mainline. (affects: 2) (dups: 1) (heat: 22)" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/58713622:30
stentenSince it's a suspend/resume bug, there's absolutely no debugging information in the logs, and I'm at a loss of what else to ask for. What should the Status be in that case?22:31
* JFo looks22:31
mjg59kamal: For a few minutes, sue22:33
kamalmjg59: For review:  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kamal/i915bri~3e/22:33
kamalIt works very well on two out of three laptops I've tested, but on the third laptop the i915 method silently fails (its a "GM45" card -- pci-id 0x2a42 ... IS_I915G() and IS_GM45() are true).22:33
kamalPerhaps you might have a look at the patch and/or scratch your head about why it doesn't work on that GM45?22:33
JFostenten, he is on server?22:33
JFomay not be easy to test, but the mainline kernel testing would be nice22:33
JFoif he is willing and this isn't production22:34
JFoother than that, it looks almost ready22:34
stentenHe's on a Toshiba laptop.22:34
kamalmjg59: fyi, same patch in a git tree:  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=kamal/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/i915bri-3e22:34
JFohmm22:34
stentenAnd he's already tested with the 2.6.34 mainline, and the problem is resolved.22:34
JFostenten, all that is left is proper tagging fos subsystem22:35
JFohave you seen https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Tagging ?22:35
JFofor the subsystem tags?22:35
stentenWe got all the way to the RTC overwrite part in debugging, but he has questions in Comment #10 that I'm really not qualified to answer.22:36
JFocool22:36
mjg59kamal: Mm. Could be that the gm45 case is broken somehow.22:37
JFostenten, so this one needs the kernel-power tag and the kernel-needs-review tag22:37
mjg59kamal: That's broadly what I was thinking though, sure22:37
JFostenten, then it will be all set22:37
stentenJFo: Just saw that today (in your email actually). Tag it as 'kernel-power' and mark as Triaged?22:37
JFoyep22:37
mjg59kamal: I think it's worth posting this upstream, if only to try to find out if anyone's got a better idea22:37
JFodon't forget the kernel-needs-review tag22:38
JFothat way it gets on the radar from monday22:38
JFostenten, ^22:38
stentenIs 'kernel-needs-review' the part that tells you it needs a dev to look at it?22:38
JFowell, it is the bit that gets it reviewed for inclusion on the 'hot list'22:38
JFo:)22:38
kamalmjg59: ok, if you consider it decent enough to sign off on it (or ack, or whatever), I'll post it upstream (with a note that its known to fail on this gm45.22:38
stentenIs there any difference between the meaning of 'kernel-needs'review' and marking it as triaged?22:38
JFoyep22:39
mjg59kamal: I think post it to linux-acpi and intel-gfx as an RFC for the moment22:39
mjg59And we'll bounce some ideas around22:39
mjg59But I suspect that this is probably how it's going to be22:39
JFostenten, triaged simply means it has everything needed to go to a dev, not that it will necessarily get to one22:39
JFogiven the amount of bugs we have that is22:39
kamalmjg59: ah, got it, ok, I'll do that -- thanks much!22:39
JFostenten, are there any particular subsystems of the kernel that interest you?22:41
JFosound, graphics, etc.?22:41
stentenJFo: Not particularly. I'm working in xserver-xorg-video-intel with Geir Ove Myhr, and we get a lot of suspend/resume bugs that end up being reassigned to the kernel, so I like to followup on them.22:42
JFogood deal22:42
stentenJFo: Do you mind changing the Status on that bug to Triaged? I'm only a lowly Bug Squad member :)22:45
JFoI don't mind at all :)22:46
JFodone22:46
stentenThanks kindly.22:46
