jewsucanuseapw or ogasawara. why was the ndiswrapper patch pulled from 2.6.36 buil\ds?00:33
ogasawarajewsucanuse: dunno, I myself don't touch the 2.6.36 mainline builds.00:34
ogasawarajewsucanuse: and I suspect apw is already sleeping as it's almost 1am his time00:34
jewsucanusenot the mainline, the natty builds.00:34
ogasawarajewsucanuse: natty builds?00:34
jewsucanuseyah.00:35
jewsucanuse2.6.36-0.200:35
ogasawaraheh, I knew the natty tree was open, didn't know we were building kernels yet00:35
ogasawarajewsucanuse: tgardner put the initial natty tree together so would have to ask him00:35
jjohansenI don't think we are officially yet00:35
jewsucanuse  * [Config] Disable aufs, dmraid-4.5, ndis-wrapper00:36
jewsucanusetim gardner00:36
jewsucanusehttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.36-0.100:36
jjohansenright none of that is surprising, we will revisit those at uds00:36
ogasawarajewsucanuse: unfortunately tgardner is away on holiday for the next week, but I recall he sent an email saying he'd disabled a few items because they possibly broke the build?00:36
bjfjewsucanuse, that's usually because they don't apply cleanly right now and need some love, so rather than hold everything up they were disabled00:36
jewsucanuseokay. i see.00:37
jjohansenI know we are looking at overlay fs to replace aufs, whether that happens, well we will have to wait and see00:37
bjfjewsucanuse, what ogasawara said :-)00:37

avinash_hmhi, i have writtent a program client program to find the load ... 'clnt' .. when i do 'strace clnt address', it says "strace: clnt: command not found" ... i have already compiled including debugging information [g3] ..08:17
avinash_hmanything special to do , when we want to use strace ??08:17
RAOFIs clnt in $PATH?  You probably need to run it as “strace ./clnt address”08:18
avinash_hmRAOF, perfect ... that was the problem .. thanks :-)08:19

lagsmb: I notice that Maxim has been CC'ed in that 'patch'08:25
lagsmb08:25
lagsmb: The  answer is, yes the kernel will now hang again08:26
smblag, Joy08:26
smbMaybe one should intervene to that thread then... at least bring up the issue08:27
lagI will 08:28
lagNext on my  TODO list08:28
smblag, cheers08:29
lagsmb: Okay, their changes 'should' not re-introduce the bug08:38
lagsmb: They are not _moving_ the code back, they are _duplicating_ it08:39
lagsmb: The code in pm_notify will still be doing the removing 08:39
smbah, because it is done first?08:39
lagYeah08:40
smbOk, ugly but may work08:40
lagpm_notify runs _before_ any suspend functions08:40
lagYeah, it is ugly08:40

lucentI've narrowed down the firewire issue to being a regression between kernels, and not an inherent problem with the new firewire stack09:15
lucentnow busy with a full set of tests and reporting back to Stefan Richter for more discussion09:16
smbsounds to be on a good track then. :)09:17
lucenthow about the other regression though, I found bug 66031509:19
ubot2Launchpad bug 660315 in linux (Ubuntu) "U232-P9 USB Serial adapter not working in Ubuntu 10.10 (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/66031509:19
lucentworks in 2.6.32-24-generic, broken in 2.6.35-22-generic09:19
lucentmct_u232 module...  how to know if something is changed between then and now?09:20
lucentI'd like to do bissection and know what change broke it but I don't know how to do that09:20
smbIts possible to do a rough initial approach, using the mainline kernels09:21
smbhttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/09:21
smbThat has builds for 2.6.33, .34 and .35 (and the rc versions too)09:22

tseliotapw: have you ever faced this problem with git? https://pastebin.canonical.com/38684/13:51
diwicsmb, hmm, there is a lbm-alsa-distro-flavour package, are you saying it doesn't build properly?14:44
smbdiwic, no I am saying it would probably not have build correctly if it had been enabled. But it has not been enabled yet, so nothing to worry about14:45
smbI just thought to fix the typo while I saw it14:46
diwicsmb, are you saying this package doesn't exist? http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic14:47
smbdiwic, I assumed so because the comment sayd "enable alsa after release" and do_alsa is set to false14:48
diwicsmb, then you're very likely wrong ;-) might want to talk about it with bjf[afk] as he built lbm recently14:49
smbdiwic, Oh, we are talking about *Maverick* btw ;)14:50
smb(sorry did not notice lucid in your link above, otherwise I could have told before)14:51
diwicsmb, hmm, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.35 <- it still exists there14:53
smbRight, that would be the source package. Which produces (or does not produce) binary packages with extended names like net or input or alsa14:54
diwicsmb, I'm just confused that things are building although there are typos. But as long as you have everything under control, I'm satisfied :-) 14:57
diwici e there *were* typos. 14:57
smbI agree about the potential of confusingness. :) It should be under control. As I said the expected effect of this would have been someone flipping the switch to "now build an lbm-alsa" and then going "heck, why does it still not build"14:59

hallynjj-afk: ttx suggested i ask you for advice on https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/hardware-server-n-unprivileged-mounts - should it be called hardware-server or hardware-kernel (or other-server) ?15:39

smugglerFlynnI wanted to install backported maverick kernel on my lucid machine16:03
JFosmugglerFlynn, it is located here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/16:04
JFoas there is a size limit on the LP PPA16:04

jjohansenhallyn: I don't really seeing it called hardware-* as it really doesn't have anything to do with hardware17:11
jjohansenhallyn: then again looking at the tracks, and since its about mounting hardware- it is17:12

=== bjf is now known as bjf[afk]
hallynjjohansen: the user mounts is mostly kernel work, but really 'mounting devices' isn't necessarily relevant, bc then you worry about all of the possibly exploitable holes in fs reading code20:03
hallynjjohansen: so that's why at first bind mounts and sysfs/proc would be the most likely to be allowed20:04
hallyn(and clean tmpfs)20:04
hallynso, should it be 'other-security-n-unprivileged-mounts' maybe?20:04
* hallyn shrugs20:04
jjohansenhallyn: thats what I was expecting.  yeah I think I would do other-security-20:05

manjojjohansen, did you fix an MCA with EC2 recently ? I recall you did something of that sort ... by backporting some patches ... 20:46
jjohansenmanjo: I reverted a patch21:02
jjohansenmanjo: it was to do with load reporting on the Lucid kernel, and I could have applied the upstream version of Chase's patch or just done a revert, as they work out to the same thing21:03

sense_Is it possible that for some reason options you add to /etc/modprobe/alsa-base.conf are ignored on Maverick? I've got the feeling my system does.21:37
