| Tetsuo55 | hello i was asked to test with a mainline kernel | 16:27 |
| Tetsuo55 | Does that mean i use this one http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/current/ | 16:27 |
| Tetsuo55 | i am on a fully updated 10.10 ubuntu | 16:28 |
| charlie-tca | Tetsuo55: yes, that is the correct one | 16:31 |
| Tetsuo55 | it says my boot is full | 16:32 |
| Tetsuo55 | damn | 16:32 |
| Tetsuo55 | need to clean up | 16:32 |
| Tetsuo55 | will this now automatically be my new default kernel? | 16:39 |
| Tetsuo55 | or do i need to choose it from the boot menu | 16:39 |
| Tetsuo55 | i guess ill find out | 16:40 |
| Tetsuo55 | hmm | 16:47 |
| Tetsuo55 | with the daily kernel my screen problems are even worse | 16:47 |
| Tetsuo55 | now the monitor is stuck on 1024x768, and it hasnt even detected the laptop monitor | 16:47 |
| Tetsuo55 | does ubuntu add special patches for laptops and their ability to display on external monitors? | 16:48 |
| Tetsuo55 | (to the kernel) | 16:48 |
| hggdh | Tetsuo55: the Ubuntu kernel may have patches from upstream to address specific issues. The best way to find out is to look at the source package diff | 16:50 |
| Tetsuo55 | i just installed the kernel that was compiled today from git | 16:50 |
| Tetsuo55 | so that seems unlikely to me | 16:50 |
| Tetsuo55 | unless by upstream you mean not-yet-committed-to-kernel.org | 16:50 |
| hggdh | Tetsuo55: if you installed a kernel from the kernel ppa, then there are no Ubuntu patches | 16:51 |
| Tetsuo55 | yes | 16:52 |
| Tetsuo55 | ok finished burning natty nightly cd | 16:52 |
| Tetsuo55 | so lets see what happens there | 16:52 |
| Tetsuo55 | back, same problem on the latest natty build with regards to my hardware button not working | 17:29 |
| Tetsuo55 | now on to the problem with 10.10 where my monitors are not correctly detected by the daily mainline kernel | 17:29 |
| Tetsuo55 | i quickly saw an error flash by before the ubuntu desktop appeard | 17:29 |
| Tetsuo55 | is that logged somewhere so i can find it? | 17:30 |
| Tetsuo55 | could this be relevant? [drm:i915_gem_mmap_gtt] *ERROR* Attempting to mmap a purgeable buffer | 17:35 |
| roadmr | Tetsuo55: use the dmesg command and see if your error is there | 17:38 |
| Tetsuo55 | mtrr: type mismatch for e0000000,10000000 old: write-back new: write-combining | 17:41 |
| Tetsuo55 | [drm] MTRR allocation failed. Graphics performance may suffer. | 17:41 |
| Tetsuo55 | lp: driver loaded but no devices found | 17:41 |
| Tetsuo55 | [Firmware Bug]: Duplicate ACPI video bus devices for the same VGA controller, please try module parameter "video.allow_duplicates=1"if the current driver doesn't work. | 17:41 |
| Tetsuo55 | [drm:i915_gem_mmap_gtt] *ERROR* Attempting to mmap a purgeable buffer (6 times) | 17:42 |
| Tetsuo55 | those are the errors i get, sorry for not using pastebin but my screen is tiny | 17:43 |
| Tetsuo55 | i also get a lot more warnigns and even a segfault for other hardware | 17:43 |
| charlie-tca | QA Weekly meeting in #ubuntu-quality in 14 minutes | 17:47 |
| Tetsuo55 | Does this error suggest i need to install the kernel-matching headers?? bluetoothd[1281]: segfault at 7f4fdbbe4450 ip 00007f4ed9881664 sp 00007fff40f4d520 error 4 in libc-2.12.1.so[7f4ed980a000+17a000] | 18:09 |
| penguin42 | just looks like a bug in bluetoothd | 18:34 |
| cyphermox | Tetsuo55, you should probably open a bug against 'linux' about the i915 errors, and one different one for bluez if you can find a .crash file under /var/crash relating to the segfault line you copied | 18:37 |
| Tetsuo55 | i may have found a fix | 18:37 |
| Tetsuo55 | on google | 18:37 |
| Tetsuo55 | just 2 more unfixed errors left | 18:37 |
| Tetsuo55 | can i change this somewhere | 18:37 |
| Tetsuo55 | ACPI: Deprecated procfs I/F for AC is loaded, please retry with CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER cleared | 18:38 |
| Tetsuo55 | ill report them all once i finish trying the workarounds | 18:38 |
| Tetsuo55 | or does the ACPI thing require a recompile of the kernel | 18:38 |
| Tetsuo55 | thats one and the other (MTRR) is supposedly solved by doing this http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1285176.html | 18:40 |
| Tetsuo55 | brb | 18:40 |
| Tetsuo55 | ok better, many errors are gone now | 18:44 |
| Tetsuo55 | but one thing has failed to work | 18:44 |
| Tetsuo55 | disabling all animation fixed the errors i was having (that appeared 6 times) | 18:45 |
| Tetsuo55 | ohh i see my mistake | 18:52 |
| Tetsuo55 | rebooting again | 18:52 |
| Tetsuo55 | allright ive made some progress | 20:08 |
| Tetsuo55 | the videocard problems are being caused by MTRR mismapping (for some reason it thinks i have 32gb of ram and the resulting mapping is blocking videocard memory from being writable or something) | 20:08 |
| Tetsuo55 | now to fix it i need some way to specify the MTRR settings during bootup | 20:09 |
| Tetsuo55 | i have used a tool to generate the exact settings for my systems. but i dont know where to specify them | 20:09 |
| Tetsuo55 | hmm looks like there have been 9 bioses released since the current one i am using, and one contains a firmware update for the videocard | 20:12 |
| Tetsuo55 | that might fix the problem | 20:12 |
| Tetsuo55 | hmm how to run a windows bios update utility from ubuntu.... | 20:16 |
| trinikrono | can someone tell me what is the purpose of that depenencies.txt that are on all the bug reports, i realised it does not just list installed packages on a system , is the dependencies of the package itself? | 22:23 |
| micahg | trinikrono: yes, it should be the dependency tree of the package | 22:24 |
| trinikrono | oh cool :D | 22:25 |
| trinikrono | can bug 646699 be set to fix released since it is so in maverick | 22:51 |
| ubot4` | Launchpad bug 646699 in nautilus (Ubuntu) (and 1 other project) "Nautilus; unclear whether cut or copy used (affects: 1) (heat: 21)" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/646699 | 22:51 |
| yofel | trinikrono: hm true, they seem to be highlighted now, so setting to fixed is ok | 22:54 |
| yofel | it would be nice to have a changelog that says that it was fixed, but that's probably not the case here | 22:54 |
| trinikrono | yes because it was implemented without considering the bug | 22:56 |
| trinikrono | yofel: what about if the reporter wanted this feature in lucid, would that be considered a backport? | 22:56 |
| yofel | hm, I don't think nautilus is really backportable (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports) and we don't SRU new features | 22:58 |
| yofel | if anything it would be a backport | 22:58 |
| trinikrono | ok i will set as fix released and put a link to a article i found, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/nautilus-update-in-maverick-bring-many-new-fixes-changes/ | 23:00 |
| trinikrono | If a bug is fixed in the current development release, it is Fix Released. If the bug also needs to be fixed in a stable release, use the "Target to release" link to nominate it for that release. | 23:04 |
| trinikrono | yofel: can i do that? | 23:05 |
| yofel | trinikrono: that's used for SRU tracking https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 23:05 |
| yofel | read the "When" and decide if that applies here | 23:05 |
| trinikrono | oho so only serious bugs, i will tell him to request a backport if he really wants then | 23:07 |
| micahg | trinikrono: backports are for new features generally, FYI | 23:22 |
| Tetsuo55 | turns out the ubuntu kernel is heavily patched to work-around issues with my motherboard/videocard | 23:46 |
| Tetsuo55 | so the vanilla mainline builds are unusable | 23:46 |
| Tetsuo55 | the error still occurs, but in the official ubuntu kernel a few lines later a workaround is apploed | 23:47 |
| Tetsuo55 | applied* | 23:47 |
| Tetsuo55 | its the same for all the errors i had, they all have a workaround in place | 23:48 |
| Tetsuo55 | so i updated my tickets :) | 23:48 |
| penguin42 | Tetsuo55: Hey well it's good those fixes are there and work | 23:57 |
| Tetsuo55 | indeed | 23:58 |
| Tetsuo55 | unfortunately they are still required with current kernel git-head/tip | 23:59 |
| Tetsuo55 | its too bad because i wopuld like the wonders patch (new group scheduling) | 23:59 |
