| brucezhang | hi all, i have a camera supporting the Mjpeg and H264 format. Now i can play the mjpeg format streaming, but i have no idea to play the h264 format. the linux do not support the h264 format. | 01:48 |
|---|---|---|
| brucezhang | Could you give me some advices? | 01:49 |
| RAOF | I think that it's highly unlikely this is a kernel problem; looking further up the stack is probably what you need to do. | 01:56 |
| brucezhang | Hi RAOF , thanks for your reply. I want to add MPEG format to the V4L2 Driver. Do you have any ideas? | 02:10 |
| RAOF | brucezhang: Is the V4L2 layer currently incapable of forwarding mpeg streams on? It's not a problem further up? | 02:21 |
| brucezhang | In linux driver layer, V4l2 does not support the H264 format. | 02:30 |
| RAOF | It surely can't be too hard to add that :) | 02:32 |
| RAOF | You're basically just passing on data from the card, right? All that's needed is an extension of the content negotiation, and possibly some metadata? | 02:33 |
| brucezhang | i get data from usb dev. | 02:34 |
| brucezhang | by the command usb-devices, the MJPEG interface can mount the dirver, but the MPEG interface can not mount the driver. | 02:35 |

| tseliot | apw: ok, I was asking as, after porting some new radeon code to Maverick's kernel, the kernel works well but the ddx driver can't open the drm device | 15:21 |
| apw | could easily be the issue, i have a crap load of patches on the floor at the moment | 15:22 |

| smoser | cool | 17:11 |
| smoser | no. not for another 50 minutes, but if we're here and available we can get it out of the way | 17:11 |

| smb | just got another cup of tea | 17:11 |
| smoser | ok. you want to just do it here ? | 17:12 |
| smoser | i see no reason not to, unless others are annoyed by it | 17:12 |
| smb | Nah, they are mostly on holiday anyway. :) | 17:12 |
| smoser | ok | 17:12 |

| smoser | jj-afk, it looks like we've got a functional patch there ? | 17:13 |
| jj-afk | right I think we have this one | 17:13 |
| smoser | ok. so you are who supplied the kernel, that wasn't apparent to me | 17:13 |
| jj-afk | but the question is whether the patch is SRUable | 17:14 |
| smoser | really ? | 17:14 |
| jj-afk | yeah sorry, I built that at UDS | 17:14 |
| smoser | http://launchpadlibrarian.net/58956370/lp614853.patch ? | 17:14 |
| smoser | kind of looks SRUable to me :) | 17:14 |
| jj-afk | hehe | 17:14 |
| jj-afk | we can try | 17:14 |
| smb | Main question about sru ability is whether upstream takes it | 17:14 |
| jj-afk | upstream will not take it | 17:14 |
| smb | have you asked? | 17:15 |
| smoser | well, this is quite common, so we need to get a fix in for it. | 17:15 |
| smoser | who do we/I have to beg ? | 17:15 |
| jj-afk | smb: no but there hasn't been any desire to pickup the 2.6.35 fix that its backported from | 17:15 |
| smb | I think what jj-afk means is that it only covers things, but does not fix the main issue | 17:15 |
| jj-afk | smoser: we can send it to gregkh for the stable tree | 17:16 |
| jj-afk | but with it not going into newer kernels I doubt he will take it | 17:16 |
| smb | jj-afk, Though he usually wil reject it when there is no upstream | 17:16 |
| jj-afk | right | 17:16 |
| smb | yeah | 17:16 |
| smoser | i've not seen this on maverick (ie, newer kernels) | 17:16 |
| jj-afk | we can try to push it as an UBUNTU: SAUCE: | 17:16 |
| smoser | possibly still there, but we dont see it. only on linux-ec2. | 17:16 |
| smb | We will probably need to see who is upstream for that bit and see whether it is acceptable as temp solution | 17:17 |
| smb | until they find the real fix | 17:17 |
| jj-afk | smoser: the schedule is significantly different on newer but it still exists | 17:17 |
| smoser | well, ok. so will one of you push on that (and put these comments in the bug) ? | 17:17 |
| smoser | push on that == SRU | 17:17 |
| jj-afk | smoser: speaking of which can you bundle and upload the test kernel for me, I haven't been able to get my credentials to work | 17:18 |
| jj-afk | smoser: yes | 17:18 |
| smoser | jj-afk, where is that kernel ? | 17:19 |

| smoser | yeah.. .i'm not sure , i'd have to look at logs again if i've seen it on maverick. | 17:25 |
| jj-afk | smoser: I'm actually don't think it is 666211 but that they are related | 17:25 |
| smoser | ok. and do we think we're moving towards a fix for them ? | 17:25 |
| smb | something io related seems to be at least very slow | 17:26 |
| smb | or deadlocked | 17:26 |
| smoser | well, yeah, i think deadlocked. nothing goes that slow. | 17:26 |
| smb | but this is not so easy to understeand | 17:26 |
| apw | smoser, why doesn't 2.6.37-2.10userns1 work, that fits a pattern i use comonly | 17:26 |
| smoser | hallyn, ^ apw, i think that was to him | 17:27 |
| apw | jj-afk, i cirtainly did merge that patch for natty, i did not merge it anywhere | 17:27 |
| smb | smoser, we got similar messages when lucid ext4 had writeback problems. Things would go away eventually but very very slowish | 17:27 |

| apw | hallyn, can you tell me what goes wrong with that version number | 17:28 |
| smoser | smb, well, jay seems to be responding there, and it seems easily reproducible for him, so maybe we can get to a easy recreate scenario | 17:28 |

| apw | hallyn, good, it was hurting my head that it might not work | 17:31 |

| smb | jj-afk, knowing the xen code a bit better, would this give some clue to you? | 17:33 |

| smb | I was wondering whether the dom0 xenbus process could be at fault | 17:45 |
| jj-afk | hrmm, there was a patch that went into stable that I thought would help | 17:45 |
| jj-afk | smb: possible | 17:46 |
| jj-afk | the xen devices are split into front and backend and communicate over the xen bus | 17:46 |
| smb | and iirc that correctly that was some user-space process in dom0? | 17:47 |
| smb | smoser, how often did you see this? | 17:47 |
| jj-afk | hrmm, no I think its kernel | 17:47 |
| smoser | i've never seen this one | 17:47 |
| smoser | but i do not hit network io hard | 17:47 |
| smoser | so can one of you at least try to freshen your memory on that one (reading the links posted) and see if you think it might be reasonable to close at this point as "maybe fixed" | 17:47 |
| jj-afk | that is the problem its rare | 17:47 |

| smb | smoser, Oh, I assumed as you reported it | 17:48 |

| jj-afk | smoser: I used the natty kernel on maverick daily last week and smb booted it today | 17:56 |
| smoser | i dont come back up at all (using t1.micro though) | 17:56 |
| smoser | and its not user space in natty | 17:56 |
| smoser | see my most recent comments in that bug | 17:56 |
| smb | I used a m1.large | 17:56 |
| smb | ami-00877069 | 17:57 |
| smoser | right. so i did that with t1.micro 3 times this moring and it never came back up. | 17:57 |
| smoser | (and no console messages either... our lovely friend for that) | 17:57 |
| jj-afk | smoser: okay we will give it another round of testing | 17:58 |
| smb | We can trie again with a t1.micro I guess | 17:58 |
| jj-afk | yep | 17:58 |
| smoser | but look at the console logs | 17:58 |
| smoser | the volume gets mounte dread-write | 17:58 |
| smoser | and cloud-init even does some work | 17:58 |
| smoser | but then bad things happen | 17:58 |
| smoser | and kernel remounts ro | 17:58 |
| smb | because of io error | 17:58 |
| smb | that much is understandable | 17:58 |
| smb | but not really why those io errors happen | 17:59 |
| smoser | right... so i dont understand how you could suggest that that is user space or plubming | 17:59 |
| smoser | nothing should cause that | 17:59 |
| smb | because it booted for me | 17:59 |
| smoser | booted once | 17:59 |
| smb | and I was tinking of something (like udev) in userspace needing to adapt the size of the blkdev | 17:59 |
| smoser | maybe check that natty isn't runing ureadahead. | 17:59 |
| smb | as it seems to change from 0 to its actual size somewhere | 18:00 |
| smoser | ... | 18:00 |
| smoser | but the poitn at which it goes bad is *so* far up in the boot process | 18:00 |
| smoser | cloud-init runs at mounted=/ and network up | 18:00 |
| smoser | so much is already functional at that point | 18:00 |
| smoser | i just would have thought that any udev issues related to the above would have been past | 18:01 |
| smb | Lacking the exact details if the init i sort of assumed things went wrong roughly where we pivot over to the real root device | 18:02 |
| smoser | yeah... i had thought htat too | 18:02 |
| smoser | but its much further up , now seeing the cloud-init messages there. | 18:02 |
| smoser | the root device was functional, and lots of things happened before it goes bad | 18:03 |
| smoser | hmm... | 18:03 |
| smoser | but then i see | 18:03 |
| smoser | "An error occurred while mounting / | 18:04 |
| smoser | Press S to skip mounting or M for manual recovery | 18:04 |
| smoser | " | 18:04 |
| smoser | which i would htink is coming from mountall | 18:04 |
| smb | Hm, ok. Sadly we only see half of the picture | 18:04 |
| smoser | i'll poke ther e abit also | 18:04 |
| smoser | i'll try turning on mountall debug | 18:04 |
| smb | It could be also from remounting / rw | 18:04 |
| smb | after the fs ckeck step | 18:04 |
| smoser | and note, this occurs both on instance store and on ebs | 18:04 |
| smb | But press s sounds like mountall | 18:05 |
| smoser | which are different devices in the back | 18:05 |
| smoser | ok. | 18:05 |
| smoser | well, smb jj-afk thanks for your help. | 18:06 |
| smb | Ok, so I'll poke around ext4 deadlock, the order 5 allocation and the natty kernel on ec2 more tomoorow | 18:06 |
| smoser | i'll poke at the natty early next week from the user sapce side. | 18:06 |
| smoser | i'll send you all my notes too. | 18:06 |
| jj-afk | alright I'm out of here for the weekend | 18:07 |
| jj-afk | if there is anything pressing send me a mail it will be checked a few times | 18:07 |
| smb | jj-afk, You should formulate that more like tim | 18:07 |
| smb | ;-) | 18:07 |
| jj-afk | lol | 18:07 |
| smb | ogasawara, are you around | 18:23 |
| ogasawara | smb: yep | 18:23 |
| smb | ogasawara, Just wanted to ask about one sru for maverick (Disable intel_idle). I think we got enough acks for it and it only affects the virtual config. | 18:24 |
| smb | I believe Brad and Steve are not around today and tomorrow | 18:24 |
| ogasawara | smb: cool. yah, bjf has been handling Maverick SRU's and tree maintenance | 18:25 |
| smb | So just wanted to check with you whether i just can slip it into the tree tomorrow | 18:25 |
| ogasawara | smb: I'd be cool with that | 18:25 |
| ogasawara | smb: and I'm sure bjf[afk] wouldn't mind | 18:25 |
| smb | And hopefully I won't get into the way of the new process | 18:25 |
| ogasawara | smb: ahhh right I forgot about the mew process and possibly reverting patches | 18:26 |
| ogasawara | smb: I think sconklin was planning on reverting any unverified patches on Monday | 18:26 |
| smb | yes, and we don't know the new process enough ourselves to know how that exactly goes. | 18:27 |
| smb | probably I should wait then till monday | 18:27 |
| ogasawara | smb: so he actually might not want new patches applied. I recall him mentioning having a type of merge window for new SRU patches. | 18:27 |
| smb | and write myself an email to make me remember | 18:27 |
| ogasawara | smb: probably a good idea if it can wait till Monday | 18:27 |
| smb | Depends on whom you ask as always ;) But I would say yes, it is not super urgent | 18:28 |
| ogasawara | smb: yah, I've got some Lucid patches I want to apply but am waiting for the green light to push. | 18:29 |
| smb | ogasawara, yup, feels safer that way | 18:30 |
| smb | ogasawara, I'll be writing reminder mail to all of us. So we all not forget. :) | 18:30 |
| ogasawara | smb: sounds good | 18:31 |
| * apw suspects that this new process is going to exacerbate the need for a next branch for stuff thats ready for the next sru cycle | 18:31 | |
| smb | apw, could as well be done by modifying a proposed branch and merge it back | 18:31 |
| smb | But that is highly depending on personal taste | 18:31 |
| smb | iow, not mine to decide. :-O | 18:31 |
| smb | err meant :-P | 18:32 |
| smb | bloody o being too close to p | 18:32 |
| apw | yeah i suspect a next branch is easier process wise. as we can automate the 'commited' state on rebasing it ... but hey | 18:32 |
| * smb shudders a bit when hearing rebasing | 18:33 | |
| ogasawara | I really started to like rebasing in Maverick actually, but I think that was more because I was lazy and liked how I could easily edit/drop patches | 18:34 |
| apw | smb, only next never master, so ust the pending stuff | 18:35 |
| === bjf[afk] is now known as bjf | ||
| apw | so next is only a parking place for things with acks | 18:35 |
| smb | I guess it is really nice when you are the only one mangling the tree. It feels (just a feeling) a bit dirty for a released tree as it looses the info about what happened | 18:36 |
| smb | apw, Oh, ok. Sounds much better | 18:36 |
| * smb relaxes | 18:36 | |
| smb | ogasawara, rebasing is a bit like teleporting trees. You are there now but you have no idea how you get there. | 18:37 |
| bjf | smb, it's still not clear to me how the process will work (i have a batch of upstream stable sitting in my personal repo ready to push), i think after monday's revert run we should be able to get your intel idle in | 18:38 |
| smb | apw, Reminds me, you see any potter fans queuing up to your place? :) I beleive it was today | 18:38 |
| apw | right, and only the pending patches which are currently not even seen as they are not anywhere | 18:38 |
| apw | smb heh not as yet | 18:38 |
| bjf | smb, I can add the idle patch to my tree as well if that would help | 18:38 |
| smb | bjf, Sounds cool. If you don't mind i just send that nag mail anyway. Given the state of post-uds memory of mine I forget what I was thinking till then | 18:39 |

| godber | Anyone have a recommendation for how to isolate this problem? VV | 18:45 |
| godber | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/659422 | 18:45 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 659422 in linux (Ubuntu) "Boot failure after upgrading kernel to 2.6.32-25-generic (affects: 4) (heat: 133)" [Undecided,New] | 18:45 |
| apw | gober idid you get that reproducible again ? | 18:45 |
| godber | absolutely | 18:46 |
| godber | I went back and made sure I started fresh on 10.04.1 | 18:46 |
| godber | (I had accidentally started with an old lucid alpha iso) | 18:46 |
| godber | booting off the latest generic kernel fails | 18:47 |
| godber | generic-pae does not | 18:47 |
| godber | as I noted udevadm segfaults about half the time I run it when in the initramfs console | 18:48 |
| smb | fwiw, I did a i386 generic install just yesterday and got a booted 2.6.32-25-generic | 18:49 |
| godber | I compared the initramfses between the two versions and they match ... all but the kmodules of course | 18:49 |
| godber | on VMware ESX 4.1? | 18:49 |
| smb | no native | 18:49 |
| godber | works fine native | 18:49 |
| godber | AFAIK | 18:49 |
| smb | hm, something stepping on the toes of vmware...? | 18:50 |
| godber | _shrug_ I guess | 18:51 |
| godber | it also does not happen on VMware ESX 4.0 | 18:51 |
| godber | I had thought of two possible ways for me to narrow it down | 18:52 |
| godber | I had considered either rebuilding the kernel eliminating the new patches one by one | 18:52 |
| godber | or, comparing the configuration differences between the generic and generic-pae kernels | 18:52 |
| apw | gober that'd be a bisect | 18:53 |
| godber | apw, thanks, I am somewhat new at this level | 18:53 |
| godber | is there a handy way to do that? | 18:54 |
| apw | git bisect does the trick | 18:55 |
| godber | ok, thanks | 18:55 |
| godber | is there like a candidate kernel for the next release in a PPA somewhere I can try? | 19:16 |
| * cking yawns | 19:17 | |
| apw | ts | 19:21 |
| smb | godber, There is http://launchpad.net/~kernel.ppa | 19:22 |
| smb | err kernel-ppa | 19:22 |
| smb | but that is the same release. There is also the mainline kernels | 19:22 |
| smb | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ | 19:23 |
| godber | If I get this isolated down to a specific patch, whats the odds of getting the attention of someone who knows how to fix it? | 19:48 |

| rlpb | Any help on getting a panic backtrace out of Ubuntu please? I've tried CrashdumpRecipe but can't seem to get the machine to reboot after panic. I've tried sysctl -w kernel.panic=15 but that didn't seem to work | 22:43 |
| camden | hi folks | 23:32 |
| camden | I'm interested in trying out a kernel with the bfs patches, found at http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/ | 23:33 |
| camden | I'm having some trouble, in that I can't seem to get the patches to apply, I think because the minor version is different. is this something that someone around here has worked on? | 23:34 |
