| cwillu | lamont, probably missing firmware | 01:11 |
|---|---|---|
| cwillu | lamont, you should have relevant files in /lib/firmware | 01:12 |
| lamont | cwillu: it works with the lucid kernel, just not with the maverick one | 01:12 |
| cwillu | lamont, check the folder :p | 01:12 |
| lamont | OTOH, the gobi chip dislikes the lucid kernel | 01:12 |
| lamont | will do | 01:12 |
| cwillu | lamont, iirc, firmware is placed in a kernel-version specific folder | 01:12 |
| cwillu | although it doesn't have to be | 01:13 |
| lamont | now if I only knew what file I was looking for | 01:14 |
| cwillu | lamont, is there a firmware folder for the maverick kernel? | 01:28 |
| cwillu | actually, I might expect a message in dmesg about not being able to find it if that's the issue; should probably check for that | 01:28 |
| lamont | it didn't look like it even found the device | 01:33 |
| lamont | but bigger fish to fry this evening, I'll worry more about it in a few days | 01:33 |
| miked595 | I'm running the i7-980x cpu. It should have 12 threads but cpuinfo only shows 8. http://pastebin.org/403849 not sure where to start. Running kernel 2.6.32-23-generic-pae #37-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 11 09:26:55 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux | 03:37 |
| cwillu | do we have a silly compile-time constant limit set I wonder? | 04:40 |
| lamont | grep -c ^proc /proc/cpuinfo | 05:01 |
| lamont | 16 | 05:01 |
| lamont | to be fair, that's a hardy machine | 05:01 |
| lamont | but I can't see lucid _reducing_ such a limit | 05:01 |
| cwillu | lamont, CONFIG_NR_CPUS=8 | 06:20 |
| cwillu | so, yes, the limit was reduced :p | 06:20 |
| cwillu | lamont, looks like the 64 bit kernels use a higher limit | 06:21 |
| cwillu | config-2.6.32-22-generic:CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 vs 8 | 06:22 |
| cwillu | server kernel may or may not have a higher limit as well | 06:22 |
| zykes- | cwillu: yes opposed to being a module. | 08:22 |
| * cwillu_at_work scrolls up | 08:23 | |
| cwillu_at_work | oh, the loop module | 08:23 |
| zykes- | yes, it makes using loop-aes a nightmare | 08:23 |
| cwillu_at_work | having it built-in? | 08:23 |
| cwillu_at_work | why? | 08:23 |
| cwillu_at_work | I'm pretty sure that sort of thing is the reason it's built in | 08:23 |
| cwillu_at_work | is loop-aes a replacement for loop? | 08:24 |
| zykes- | yes | 08:26 |
| zykes- | you replace the loop module with it | 08:26 |
| cwillu_at_work | if so, you should consider the wisdom of using a module which overrides standard functionality in order to provide some specific (and incompatible) behaviour | 08:26 |
| cwillu_at_work | having the module built-in means one doesn't have to do various insane things to allow the system to boot from an encrypted rootfs | 08:27 |
| cwillu_at_work | (i.e., you can't load the module if it's on the rootfs, unless you put in it initramfs, which is fragile, and unrecoverable without alternate boot media if it breaks) | 08:28 |

| TeTeT | when I place a custom kernel in a repo, e.g. linux-image-2.6.32-24-generic-pae, do I need to also add linux-image-generic-pae? | 09:27 |

| abogani | TeTeT, It isn't mandatory but it is more simpler to type when a user install it. | 09:38 |

| ogasawara | RAOF: a while ago you sent us an email about discussing common bug tags for X and the kernel | 10:51 |
| ogasawara | RAOF: is that something you'd still like to discuss? And if so, we should all get together this week face to face. | 10:51 |
| RAOF | Yeah, I would still like that. When's good? | 10:53 |
| ogasawara | RAOF: say 3pm-ish today? | 10:54 |
| RAOF | I think that'll be good. | 10:54 |
| RAOF | I'm booked with arm after lunch, but that shouldn't take too long. | 10:54 |
| ogasawara | RAOF: what room will you be in? | 10:55 |
| ogasawara | RAOF: or just come down to the kernel room | 10:55 |
| RAOF | Yeah, that'll work. | 10:55 |
| RAOF | I'll join you in the kernel room. | 10:55 |
| RAOF | I know where that is :) | 10:55 |
| ogasawara | RAOF: ack | 10:55 |
| ogasawara | JFo, apw: ^^ just fyi | 10:56 |

| amitk | apw: Could you send Mathieu to the Linaro room to debug a IGEPv2 problem? | 15:17 |
| cooloney | amitk: Mathieu is not in our kernel room now | 15:17 |
| cooloney | amitk: if i see him, i will ask him come | 15:18 |

| hyperair | does anyone know why there's this annoying "+" appearing at the end of my packages all the time? | 16:41 |
| hyperair | and what's include/config/kernel.release? grep doesn't seem to show anything touching it, but that keeps getting created, with the + in the version | 16:41 |
| ogasawara | akgraner: do you know how to lock down a wiki page so it can't be modified? | 17:11 |
| komputes | I'm havin a problem with testing the mainline kernel. I have read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/MainlineBuilds and still have an issue. | 18:50 |
| komputes | I need linux >2.6.33 for TRIM support, so I added ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa and tried to install linux-maverick, yet that package is not found. | 18:51 |
| komputes | Separate issue - This bugs last comment http://launchpad.net/bugs/532451 suggests that there is a linux-backports-modules-2.6.32 package in lucid-proposed which corrects this issue. I am unable to find this package. | 18:56 |
