smbjjohansen, heya08:50
smbjjohansen, One could say good morning to you as well. :) Though good night usually is more appropriate. ;)08:51
jjohansen:)08:51
smbjjohansen, Any news from the sky?08:52
smb(iow how's the clouds looking)08:53
jjohansenI haven't looked up yet08:53
jjohansenits just been one of those days08:54
smbYou mean there is too much rain coming down to see any cloulds. :)08:54
jjohansenits snowing09:02
jjohansenboth literally and figuratively09:02
smbI would prefer snow to the cold rain here09:03
jjohansenyeah, snow is kind of nice, its been cold drizzle for the last week09:03
jjohansenI don't expect the snow to last09:03
apwshame, no skiing down the west hills then?10:16
jjohansenhrmm, there just might be10:17
jjohansenits almost enough to cover the grass here, so the west hills should have a fair bit more10:17
ograapw, could someone from the kernel team have  look at bug 511747 (specifically comments 43-45) it seems that the two lines would make additional HW work with maverick so i would think it makes sense to add that as SRU10:46
ubot2Launchpad bug 511747 in xf86-input-evtouch (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 1 other project) "support for Acer 1420P (affects: 6) (heat: 37)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/51174710:46
ogra(teh fix seems to be upstream too already)10:47
apwBAH patchworks is in a HEAP10:51
ograthats why i'm pĆ¼atch pilot today ;)10:53
ogra*patch10:53
ograseems that bug is falsely filed against evtouch and the patches are super trivial10:54
apwogra, well get it over on to linux at a minimum 10:55
ograapw, done10:58
apwogra, can't look at the stupid patch as patchworks is a heap10:59
apwbut if its upstream someone can send the patch to the kernel-team list to get it reviewed10:59
ograwell, but you can look at the patches on the bug10:59
* ogra adds a comment about this10:59
* smb walks off11:00
* jjohansen waves good night11:01
ogrado we have a wikipage that mentions how to get a patch into the ubuntu kernel ? 11:01
* ogra cant find anything 11:01
* ogra finds a million pages on how to compile your own kernel, but no instructions on how to supply a patch the proper way11:02
ograah, that seems to mention a policy: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/KernelGitGuide?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam/KernelGitGuide#Pushing changes to the main repo 11:04
apwogra, have you tried the FAQ ?11:04
apwhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/FAQ#Can I get a patch included in the Ubuntu Kernel? / How can I submit a patch to the Ubuntu Kernel?11:05
ografunny that neither google nor the wiki search spit that out11:05
apwthe wiki search SUCKS, i am supprised at google though11:06
apwogra, i've found and pasted the official upstream commit into that bug11:49

smbjjohansen, Hm, we do not have pv-grub for lucid-ec, have we?17:17
jjohansenno.  Luicd is not pv-grub17:17
jjohansenmaverick is the first pv-grub kernel17:17
jjohansenthough a lucid kernel will boot inside of a maverick pv-grub instance17:18
smbjjohansen, Then this is the occasion where you can teach me how to test lucid-ec kernels ;)17:18
smbor do you just do that (lucid on maverick)17:18
jjohansensmb: no we do a whole install, bundle and upload for lucid17:19
smbI see17:19
JFo<-lunch17:27
smbbjf, Do you know whether lucid-ec2 went to updates along with the main kernel or will that get handled sperately?17:40
bjfsmb, i believe pitti was going to hold ec2 back to give it more testing17:41
smbok17:43
smbbjf, thanks17:43
jendaphi, I can't boot ubuntu ... it drops to busybox and can't find any harddrive - i.e. ls /dev/disk finds nothing as well as /dev/sd*17:48
jendapthe problem is I'm running maverick and I'm not doing anything fancy on this machine as it's my main working machine17:48
jendapis it possible that some of the latest updates would just break initrafs or vmlinuz the way it can't find disks on dell workstation?17:49
smbjendap, There have been problems with creating the initrd sometimes17:49
smbAre you able to boot into an older kernel17:50
jendapbtw: the compuer was not restarted for five days, today electricity went out and after it it did not boot again17:50
jendapold 2.6.32 boots17:50
jendapreinstaling 2.6.35 does not help17:50
smbHave you tried running update-initramfs17:50
jendapI assume it's run automatically by reinstalling all linux-* packages, right?17:51
smbwould be something like "sudo update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.35-25-generic"17:51
jendapsmb: thanks, I'll try it and reboot ... I'll be back in a minute17:52
smbjendap, ok. not sure it is done automatically when there is the same version already installed17:53
jendapsmb: no change :(17:59
smbHm. Any error messages during boot? Or in dmesg?17:59
=== cmagina is now known as cmagina-lunch
jendapnothing obvious18:00
smbThe result with busybox and no devices sounds a bit like a udev problem on boot.18:02
jendapyes18:02
smbWhen there were those problems, people would see some message about udevadm 18:02
jendapok, is it possible to mount usb flash disk from busybox?18:03
jendapit should be, right?18:03
smbdepends18:03
smbif udev is broken there is no automatic load of usb-storage18:03
jendapI would save the dmesg output ;-)18:03
smbyou could try to modprobe it and see18:04
smbalso maybe try to call udevadm trigger18:04
jendapok, I'll be back soon18:04
jendapuudevadm trigger? how?18:04
jendapoh, its just a command, sorry ;-)18:05
smbyep :) np18:05
jendapok, I'll be back..18:05
zulsmb: ping can you have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/676245 its blocking UEC testing on natty18:27
ubot2Launchpad bug 676245 in linux (Ubuntu) "Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 not recognised on install (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [High,New]18:27
=== cmagina-lunch is now known as cmagina
jendapsmb: there's no usb-storage, there's only usbhid driver within initramfs18:29
jendapso I don't know how to get dmesg from there ... unless I modify initrafs18:30
=== cmagina is now known as cmagina-meeting
jendapI have to go now, I'll try different kernel tomorrow (perhaps the one form natty) or I just use the old one18:30
smbjendap, That is strange. Sounds a bit like generating the initrds is not right18:32
smbjendap, Probably check the file size of the old and new ones18:33
smbwhether there is a huge difference18:33
jendapsmb: that's a good idea! :-) that's it18:33
jendapthe new one has half the size18:33
smboh and have you /boot in a separate partition?18:33
smb(just for generally checking there is enough free space)18:34
smbdf -h18:34
jendapno18:34
jendapabout 100G free18:34
smbOk, at least that is not a problem then18:34
jendapI don't know how this automatic initramfs generation works ... is it in the wiki?18:36
smbit is using the same command (update-initramfs), so you should be able to use that until the initrd looks reasonable18:37
smbSeems the ones I have are all around 11M18:38
jendapsmb: ok, that's fine ... I'll fix it tomorrow18:38
smbLucid ones were 14M18:38
smbjendap, ok18:39
jendapI just feared it might be problem for more users, but it seems it's not ;-)18:39
jendapsmb: thanks!18:39
smbjendap, Have not heard something yet. you are welcome18:39
smbjendap, Oh jsut one thing18:41
jendapyes18:41
smbThe version number I used for the update-initramfs was just an example18:41
smbYou would have to use the same as the kernel you want to create the initrd for18:42
smbProbably 2.6.35-23-generic18:42
jendapI've noticed ;-)18:42
smbok18:42
jendapthanks18:42
smbJust relaized and wanted to make sure :)18:42

smbogasawara, Heh. Ok. Hm, is intel_idle then something to go on the frankenpage as well?19:08
komputesJFo: just sent you additional info via email19:08
ogasawarasmb: I think if we throw it into LBM it doesn't need to go on the frankepage19:09

tgardnerapw, did you really mean to push all this cruft onto natty master ? I've got master-next ready to go20:29
apwtgardner, yep, thats the stuff i am happy with20:29
* apw checks he hasn't spannered20:30
tgardnerapw, but did you want to carry it on master? Its likely not buildable without some ignore.modules scaterred around20:30
apwtgardner, there is actually very little on there20:31
apwmostly a few additional modules for architectures, no subtractions20:32
apwand i have built it all20:32
apwit may seem vastly different as i have been rebasing to drop some old cruft which was interfereing20:32
tgardnerapw, indeed? It looks like a bunch of modules got built in, so I would have expected the module check to break.20:32
apwyeah you have a point, but it id20:33
apwbut meh20:33
apwi'll get it building here and fix it up20:34
apwtgardner, go ahead and push your bits to master-next and i'll clean master20:34
tgardnerapw, start with master-next20:34
tgardnerapw, its already up to date20:34
apwtgardner, ta20:35
apwtgardner, master next is well out of date20:37
apwtgardner, at least whats in ubuntu-natty is20:37
apwit matches my backup bracnh and pretty old20:37
tgardnerapw, so you squashed a bunch of commits on master?20:38
apwtgardner, i dropped some old stuff yes, and cleaned up some interacting patches which were wrong20:39
apwtgardner, is that what you have on master-next ?20:40
tgardnerapw, so I should reset master-next HEAD ?20:40

apwif you have new stuff on there20:43
apwi can handle extracting them, as i know the tip as is20:43
apwin the meantime i'll sort out the modules.list20:43
tgardnertomorrow lets chat about how we're gonna use master-next20:43
apwtgardner, sure ... i am currently using it more as an incoming queue20:44
tgardnerI'm gonna go back to porting SID auto-cgroups to Lucid20:45
apwtgardner, is there going to be anything dropped on master-next ?20:45
tgardnerapw, nothing important.20:45
apwtgardner, ok ...20:47
apwyeah i am sort of assuming that to do the very invasive things i am doing right now that i need to do those somewhere other than where incoming new bits are going, cause i am making a huge mess :)20:48
apwtgardner, ahh i see why my testing worked ... we have no abi files right now cause of all the bad kernels in the last few uploads20:49
tgardnerapw, right. I was startnewrelease and adding some ignores.20:50
apwobvious and stupid of me,20:50
tgardnerjust crank turning. you can trash master-next and make it look the way you want20:51
apwwill do20:51
tgardnerbjf, I'm looking at maverick-meta. don't forget ogasawara's pull request for the media packages20:52
tgardnerlikely the same for lucid-meta20:52
ogasawarabjf, tgardner: just fyi, I'd only done the media packages for maverick20:53
tgardnerogasawara, what ABI did those media packages go out with?20:54
ogasawaratgardner: lemme check20:55
tgardnerogasawara, doesn't look like its gone out yet20:56
ogasawaratgardner: 2.6.35-23.1320:56
bjftgardner, you have it "under review" in patchworks   (actually, i'd missed it so thanks for the reminder)20:56
tgardnerbjf, I've acked both the LBM and meta pulls20:56
tgardnerogasawara, there ain't no 'UBUNTU: upstream IR updates' in the Maverick LBM repo, so I don't think its been pulled yet.20:57
ogasawaratgardner: you're right, was looking at my repo and thought they'd been pulled20:58
tgardnerbjf, would you like me to do the packaging and upload for Maverick LBM and meta ?20:58
bjftgardner, the easy answer would be yes, however, I need the practice20:59
tgardnerbjf, you'll have to futz with maverick meta since smb has already rolled the ABI for pre-proposed20:59
