aditiaanyone here know about high load average at startup issue?02:36
jk-aditia: how high?02:37
jk-(and how long after startup?)02:37

aditiait takes a while until my desktop fully appear02:40
aditiaI've upgraded to vanilla kernel02:41
aditiaand now back to stable lucid kerne;02:41
aditiabut it's still happen02:41
aditiaany idea to solve this issue02:43
aditia???02:43
jjohansenaditia: startup launches a lot of things in parallel, I'm not sure what they average is supposed to be but it wouldn't surprise me if at some points its above 1002:48

smbjjohansen, Ah yes, that actually was the one I was commenting on today. 16:39
* smb forgets the numbers quickly16:39
jjohansensmb: oh where I missed that.16:40
jjohansenBasically they are running their kernel with that hack on top of it.16:40
smbjjohansen, That fix for the divide by zero or another thing16:40
jjohansensince the underlying problem hasn't been fixed, the kernel just progresses to the next problem it causess16:40
smbI remember being told that they use some kernel from you16:41
jjohansenyeah the divide by zero16:41
smbBut I did not know exactly which one16:41
smbah ok16:41
jjohansenI built them a kernel to test the bug against, with the attached patch applied16:41
jjohansennow they are using it on their servers because it worked for them16:42
lamontsmb: right.  I'll make sure that gets tested this week.  last week's sprint did not provide me with the downtime I needed to do that testing16:42
smbI guess probably the softlockup panic together with paniconoops may be a next step16:42
smblamont, Ah ok. Sure. I just stumbled over some email and suddenly remembered16:42

jjohansensmb: yeah, I also asked joe to see if the will run a crashkernel16:43
lamontsmb: heh.  I've made  a note.16:43
smbjjohansen, right, probably me or you should also add that to the bug report16:43
jjohansensmb: I'll do it, I am updating a couple bugs right now16:44
smbjjohansen, ok sure. I think I am done with treading on any of those for today16:44

jj-afkrunning an errand17:39
tgardnercking, how well does fwts work if the kernel is booted with acpi=off ?18:02
ckingtgardner, well, most of the tests it inspects the ACPI tables, so that won't affect it.18:03
ckingit will give different results when it scans the kernel logs though18:04
tgardnercking, I'm researching a bug where the kernel won't boot woth ACPI enabled, so wondered if fwts might give up some clues18:04
ckingtgardner, it may help - it will be able to inspect the ACPI tables and maybe diagnose things. Make sure you are using the latest natty version to get all the goodness18:05
=== jj-afk is now known as jjohansen
ckinghttps://launchpad.net/~firmware-testing-team/+archive/ppa-firmware-test-suite-natty-stable18:06
tgardnercking, its an ASUS X71 (AMD Turion). I wonder if a microcode update might help?18:07
ckingtgardner, will the microcode help? It has to be installed by a booted system, kinda catch-2218:08
tgardnercking, according to the microcode module it installs at every boot. so, if it can get that far....18:08
tgardnercking, hmm, the web site lies, "Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual  CPU  T3200  @ 2.00GHz stepping 0d"18:10
ckingmost confusing.18:10
ckingI'd try disabling the apic first, , nolapic or nolapic_timer18:11
ckingAlso, it's it hanging forever, or just for a long time? I'd give it ~300 seconds to see if anything happens - then we can deduce if it's a timer and/or chipset "feature"18:13
ckings/it's/is/18:13
tgardnercking, will do. thanks for the suggestions18:13

bguthroHi - I realize this is the main forum for mainline development. Is there a separate forum for LTS .32 discussions, or is this the right place?19:47
tgardnerbguthro, its as good a place as any19:48
bguthroI'm working off of a .32 kernel, and am seeing hangs on the Lenovo X100e. It looks like this launchpad bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/591699 and this kernel.org bug: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15166 - I was hoping to brainstorm fixes with someone knowledgeable on DRM, or radeon (particularly VRAM mappings)19:50
ubot2Launchpad bug 591699 in linux (Ubuntu) "Lenovo Thinkpad x100e freezes when X blanks screen (affects: 7) (heat: 59)" [Medium,Triaged]19:50
bguthroI was recently introduced via email to Pat McGowen over at Canonical via email, who pointed me to the following fix: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6.git;a=commit;h=7547a917fa5f3b2406f52c7dcf7ec9ad3c8532eb 19:52
bguthroHowever, that's a massive merge changeset...I was hoping for something a little more surgical19:52
tgardnerbguthro, have you tried the Maverick or Natty LTS backport kernels?19:53
bguthroIs anyone on here well versed in DRM changes between .32 and .35?19:53
tgardnerbguthro, the Lucid kernel actually has a full backport from 2.6.33 plus stable updates19:53
bguthroI have. They work. Unfortunately, updating the entire kernel isn't an option for me19:53
tgardnerbguthro, why is that?19:54
bguthroI'm from virtualcomputer.com - we're currently based off of the lucid kernel, plus a stack of Xen patches. Updating to .35 will come into play on our next dev cycle, but we don't have the engineering resources to dedicate to that at this phase of our dev cycle.19:55
bguthroI've been asked to get the X100e working, and it freezes on me as soon as I load video.ko19:56
tgardnerbguthro, well, I'm not knowledgeable enough about the DRM subsystem to help much. Plus, its likely to be a deep driver settings issue.19:58
bguthrotgardner - Thanks anyway. I was hoping for a magical silver bullet, that I'm almost positive doesn't exist. But...it can't hurt to ask19:59
bguthroFWIW, I tested the this hang on lucid, with the following results:20:00
bguthro2.6.32.21 - backlight hang on Fn+Home20:00
bguthro2.6.34.6 - backlight hang on Fn+Home20:00
bguthro2.6.35.4 - backlight works20:00
bguthro2.6.36.999 (daily) - backlight works 20:00
tgardnerbguthro, you could get a list of patches to the ATI driver between 2.6.33 and 2.6.35. Maybe something will jump out at you20:00
mjg59There's a fix for that bug in the RHEL 6 kernel20:01
mjg59But, sadly, it's embedded in a single tarball20:01
bguthrowithout patches, I'm sure20:02
mjg59Correct!20:02
bguthromaybe I can chase down their git tree somewhere20:02
mjg59Nope20:02
bguthrono public git? boo.20:03
mjg59Indeed20:03
tgardnerbguthro, once you have the RHEL tarball you could always diff it against the base kernel to see whats changed. kind of tedious for sure20:05
bguthroright. this is RHEL, not Fedora. Of course. I'll see if I can at least chase down that tarball20:06
bguthroFWIW, you can get the RHEL6 combined patch from here: http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel/rhel6/042test003.1 20:20
bguthroUnfortunately, it is difficult to soft through for substantive changes, as it seems a significant portion of it is whitespace change, and/or changing C-style comments to C++ style.20:20
bguthroThat said, it gives me a starting place.20:21
tgardnerick. good luck.20:21
mjg59bguthro: Ug. Now I look at it, I don't think that patch did go into the kernel.20:23
mjg59Ah, no, it did20:24
bguthromjg59: Are you looking at the atombios changes - or is there a generic change in drm I should be looking for20:25
mjg59bguthro: It's in the radeon code, but it's not in atom20:25
mjg59Look for changes related to mc_vram_size20:26
bguthror600_vram_gtt_location certainly is interesting20:28
bguthroOK, this definetly gives me something to go on. Thanks a lot!20:29
