jewsucanuseogasawara, will ndiswrapper (with the 2 patches it needs) be included in the alpha 1 kernel or are the bkl calls to prohibitive?00:18
ogasawarajewsucanuse: not sure, have been tracking ndiswrapper for natty very closely00:18
jewsucanusethere are patches that allow clean compilation on 2.6.37, but there were concerns about how ioctl was being used.00:19

vishapw: hi, so what should i ask on the older bug, that they test your kernel and check if there are no problems?14:45
apwvish i have done so, and not had time today to see if they have taken notice yet14:46
vishcool!14:46

avinashhmvinashhm> hi, is any one familiar with lockdep asserting bugs .. I am stuck with a deadlock bug ..i wanted to know if a single task can hold multiple mutexes ???.. error @  @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/539017/ ... any help ???15:39
apwavinashhm, yes a process can hold any number of mutexes, obviously if you hold more than one you had really really better know what you are doing, ordering is key15:52
avinashhmapw, i am making sure it is in proper order .. last acquired first released .. but still i am having this lockdep error, of "recursive locking" .. i made sure with prints that i amn't acquiring same mutext without releasing .. but still it is cribbing ... :-(15:54
apwit seems likely lockdep is right, and its saying you have a lock you are re-taking15:54
apwthat sort of thing is common when you have the lock but interrupts are enabled and the interrupt handler takes the lock too on the same cpu15:57
avinashhmapw, but with prints above here are prints just b4 my mutex_lock and mutex_unlock api's .. so i amn't relocking a mutex which is already locked ... [ end number is the address of the mutext ] ... so i amn't re-taking.. 16:00
avinashhmso you mean here .. two processes are holding that lock .. one mine and the other interrupt handler ??16:01
apwthe protections are based on a cpu16:01
avinashhmapw, so what i can do to improve or get unlocked from here ??16:02
avinashhmapw, so how is it usually interrupts are disabled when we have the lock ?? please pardon me if my questions are childish .. but i amn't familiar with these ...first bug of this type :-)16:06
apwavinashhm, no interrupt handling is manual and separate16:07
avinashhmapw, so how are these type of problems solved usually ?? 16:07
apwavinashhm, debugging as you have indicated in combination with the lockdep output and reading the code16:08
apwits a very hard problem16:08
avinashhmapw, to be frank i still didn't understand the problem , is there any place i can look for to understand this lockdep description??? 16:10
avinashhmactually the problem is easily reproducible , during bootup .. need to trace ..16:10
avinashhmapw, seems like i am too tired of this problem from morning .. i ll debug further and see you tomorrow ..thanks for the help buddy ... 16:14
JFoskaet_, do you have bugs for me? :)16:16
skaet_have you gone through the ones from the status last week.  :)16:17
skaet_other than that,  I won't be taking a pass through the bugs until after alpha 1 goes out today.   Some last minute issues are going to keep me busy today.16:17

tgardnersconklin, any interesting status from the SRU test review meeting?17:58
smbtgardner, Wasn't there a bug report or some issue with Broadcom NetXtreme of some sort recently?18:06
apwtgardner, ok ... this is confirmed a grub graphics mode handoff issue 18:51
tgardnerapw, is there a known fix yet?18:51
apwtgardner, there is a work around, turnign off graphics handoff.  am working on whats wrong now18:52
apwi think its an unhandled pipe underrun, but am trying to confirm that18:52
tgardnerapw, I would have thought removing splash would have corrected it18:52
apwtgardner, nope doesn't change how grub hands off the screen18:53
ogasawarabjf, sconklin: lucid fsl-imx51 rebased and pushed to my repo for review - git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ogasawara/ubuntu-lucid.git fsl-imx5120:01
bjfogasawara, cool, will look at it in a bit, not to worried about it though20:02
ogasawarabjf, sconklin: assuming that looks good, package for review/signing is on zinc in my home dir under proposed-pkgs/lucid/linux-fsl-imx51_2.6.31-608.21_source.changes20:02
sconklinogasawara: both on a call, be with you in a sec20:03
JFoskaet_, I am assuming that, due to the alpha 1 release, that there will be no new bugs on the release team radar for kernel. :)20:23
JFofor this week, I mean20:23
skaet_JFo, don't make assumptions...  ;)   all sorts of interesting results coming up from the alpha.  ;)20:23
JFo:-/20:23
* JFo was only assuming for one day ;-)20:23
tgardnerskaet_, "interesting" == bad ?20:23
skaet_weather I'll be able to summarize or not by the end of the day, is a different matter.20:24
skaet_whether, even.20:24
JFoheh, ok20:24
ogra_acskaet_, how about we auto-assign them all to JFo then his assumption is true for the rest of us ;)20:24
skaet_ogra_ac, lol20:24

manjotgardner, Checksum doesn't match for /home/manjo/linux_2.6.35-24.42.dsc21:14
manjotgardner, I did a remote debsign 21:14
manjoand dput tells me checksum does not match21:14
manjotgardner, I signed the .changes and .dsc file 21:14
tgardnermanjo, you only need to sign the changes file, e.g., 'debsign -r tangerine.buildd:*.changes'21:16
manjotgardner, ack ... when I signed .changes I get No signature on /home/manjo/linux_2.6.35-24.42.dsc. so I signed the .dsc as well21:16
tgardnerhow are you packaging? Use the '-us -uc' options so that 'dpkg-buildpackage -S' doen't complain.21:17
manjotgardner, I did dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa  -rfakeroot -I.git -I.gitignore -i'\.git.*'21:20
tgardnerso, whats changed? You've done this before.21:20
bjfsconklin, we've had a lucid linux-mvl-dove in -proposed for a while now, any idea what the plans are w.r.t it? I have a rebased lucid linux-mvl-dove locked and loaded21:55
sconklinbjf: I have no idea - I thought that Ike or Eric or someone else was going to handle those21:56
bjfsconklin, i went ahead and handled it, all our branches should be very up-to-date at this point (ogasawara did fsl-imx51 earlier)21:57
sconklinbjf: great! You and ogasawara have blown this release out (in a good way)21:58
bjfsconklin, now i've got an upload and nowhere to go :-)22:00
manjotgardner, VirtFS is a 9P based passthrough filesystem for virtualized guests.22:21
tgardnermanjo, incidentally, I remembered that you should be using 'dput -u' when remote signing and uploading from a machine that doesn't have your GPG key22:22
manjotgardner, lp dos not allow me to use -u, -u I think says ignore signature  22:23
