[00:54] <aegis> Hey all, is there a working kernel I can install that will allow Ubuntu to start?
[00:55] <aegis> The latest upgrades caused my system to fail... It's specifically a problem with grub-pc, lvm2, and I believe udev
[00:58] <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?
[04:15] <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
[04:21] <bjf[afk]> rsalveti, omap3 or omap4 ?
[04:21] <rsalveti> bjf[afk]: omap 3
[04:22] <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
[04:23] <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?
[04:24] <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
[04:25] <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
[04:26] <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"?
[04:27] <rsalveti> yup, can't find it
[04:27] <rsalveti> http://paste.ubuntu.com/531536/
[04:28] <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
[04:29] <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> ?
[04:32] <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
[04:34] <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
[04:38] <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
[13:41] <kaushal> Hi
[13:42] <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
[13:43] <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
[13:49] <kaushal> hyperair: understood now
[13:49] <hyperair> =)
[13:49] <kaushal> Also why kernel panic occurs
[13:50] <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 ?
[13:52] <hyperair> programming errors.
[13:52] <hyperair> bugs
[13:53] <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.
[13:54] <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
[13:55] <hyperair> i think.
[13:55] <hyperair> you want something that looks like a series of function calls
[13:56] <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
[13:58] <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.
[13:59] <hyperair> there's something in the title of this channel
[14:38] <kaushal> Hi
[14:38] <kaushal> I would like to contribute to the Ubuntu Kernel Team
[14:38] <kaushal> How do i start with
[23:48] <m4t> hey, does ubuntu's kernel build use special LD_FLAGS versus stock vanilla kernel.org 'make'?
