| aegis | Hey all, is there a working kernel I can install that will allow Ubuntu to start? | 00:54 |
|---|---|---|
| aegis | The latest upgrades caused my system to fail... It's specifically a problem with grub-pc, lvm2, and I believe udev | 00:55 |
| aegis | Also, does anyone know why my system always wants to upgrade to a pae version of the kernel when I am only using 1 GB of RAM in a 32 bit system? | 00:58 |
| rsalveti | bjf[afk]: just to understand better, any reason why 2.6.35-23.37 is still not in proposed? at least I can't find it at omap | 04:15 |
| bjf[afk] | rsalveti, omap3 or omap4 ? | 04:21 |
| rsalveti | bjf[afk]: omap 3 | 04:21 |
| rsalveti | I saw that it did build fine for arm, but still can't find at proposed | 04:22 |
| bjf[afk] | rsalveti, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.35-23.37/+build/2033772 | 04:22 |
| rsalveti | yup, shouldn't it be at the proposed repo already? | 04:23 |
| rsalveti | or do we need someone to approve it first? | 04:23 |
| bjf[afk] | should be, where are you looking? | 04:23 |
| rsalveti | I tried to find it by activating http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports maverick-proposed | 04:24 |
| rsalveti | then I went to the http address and can't find it there | 04:24 |
| rsalveti | http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/pool/main/l/linux/linux-image-2.6.35-23-omap_2.6.35-23.37_armel.deb | 04:25 |
| rsalveti | hm, it's here, why I can't find it with apt | 04:26 |
| bjf[afk] | rsalveti, after you added it, did you "apt-get update"? | 04:26 |
| rsalveti | yup, can't find it | 04:27 |
| rsalveti | http://paste.ubuntu.com/531536/ | 04:27 |
| rsalveti | I got many updates from different packages, but not for the kernel | 04:28 |
| bjf[afk] | rsalveti, not sure what to tell you at this point, you could try #ubuntu-release but i'm afraid since it's the weekend your not likely to find any help | 04:28 |
| rsalveti | yeah, np, will ping them later then | 04:29 |
| rsalveti | thanks anyway :-) | 04:29 |
| rsalveti | then what are the following steps to move it from proposed to main/ | 04:29 |
| rsalveti | ? | 04:29 |
| rsalveti | bjf[afk]: oh, ok, the package is there but the meta-package is not requesting it yet | 04:32 |
| rsalveti | it's still depending on the 23.35 | 04:32 |
| rsalveti | that's why apt-get upgrade doesn't pull it by default | 04:32 |
| rsalveti | no, it seems to be fine | 04:34 |
| rsalveti | argh | 04:34 |
| rsalveti | apt-get install linux-image-omap gets the correct kernel, but apt-get upgrade doesn't | 04:34 |
| rsalveti | nevermind, after another apt-get update I now can find everything it needs and apt-get upgrade gets it fine | 04:38 |
| rsalveti | weird | 04:38 |

| kaushal | Hi | 13:41 |
| kaushal | what exact information i need to look into the reason behind kernel panic | 13:42 |
| kaushal | I have encountered Kernel Panic umpteen number of times | 13:42 |
| kaushal | whats the best way to handle it | 13:42 |
| hyperair | netconsole | 13:42 |
| hyperair | or a serial cable | 13:42 |
| kaushal | hyperair: Are you referring to me ? | 13:43 |
| hyperair | yeah i guess i am | 13:43 |
| kaushal | ok | 13:43 |
| kaushal | not sure i understand about your answer though | 13:43 |
| kaushal | hyperair: understood now | 13:49 |
| hyperair | =) | 13:49 |
| kaushal | Also why kernel panic occurs | 13:49 |
| kaushal | How do we fix them | 13:50 |
| hyperair | i'm sure you've seen a segfault before, right? | 13:50 |
| hyperair | a kernel panic happens when the kernel segfaults =p | 13:50 |
| kaushal | segfault occurs due to bad RAM ? | 13:50 |
| hyperair | programming errors. | 13:52 |
| hyperair | bugs | 13:52 |
| hyperair | but yeah i figure bad RAM can cause it too.. | 13:53 |
| hyperair | anyway use netconsole and get a backtrace, and then file a bug | 13:53 |
| hyperair | that's the best way to handle a panic. | 13:53 |
| kaushal | hyperair: thanks | 13:54 |
| kaushal | file a bug ? | 13:54 |
| hyperair | yes. | 13:54 |
| kaushal | is it on launchpad ? | 13:54 |
| hyperair | file a bug. | 13:54 |
| hyperair | yeah. | 13:54 |
| kaushal | so backtrace means the kernel messages ? | 13:54 |
| hyperair | bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux | 13:54 |
| hyperair | i think. | 13:55 |
| hyperair | you want something that looks like a series of function calls | 13:55 |
| hyperair | something that says Call Trace: | 13:56 |
| hyperair | followed by a bunch of lines that looks like this: | 13:56 |
| hyperair | [<ffffffff8167411d>] schedule_timeout+0x20d/0x310 | 13:56 |
| hyperair | well similar to it anyway | 13:56 |
| kaushal | hyperair: Are there Ubuntu Specific documentation for Understand Kernel ? | 13:58 |
| hyperair | nope. | 13:58 |
| hyperair | wait, yes there is | 13:58 |
| hyperair | at wiki.ubuntu.com | 13:58 |
| hyperair | but i forgot where | 13:58 |
| hyperair | you'll have to poke around a bit. | 13:58 |
| hyperair | there's something in the title of this channel | 13:59 |
| kaushal | Hi | 14:38 |
| kaushal | I would like to contribute to the Ubuntu Kernel Team | 14:38 |
| kaushal | How do i start with | 14:38 |

| m4t | hey, does ubuntu's kernel build use special LD_FLAGS versus stock vanilla kernel.org 'make'? | 23:48 |
