[00:07] <^AndreA^> Hi everyone
[00:08] <^AndreA^> sometimes (when I transfer big files) my Ubuntu freezes...
[00:09] <^AndreA^> just before doing that it logs some errors in the messages and kern.log logs (that's why I'm here) :-)
[00:09] <beata|lemur> Freezes *hard* or just turns into molasses? I'm just a user these days, I'm afraid.
[00:10] <^AndreA^> it simply stops responding...
[00:11] <^AndreA^> and needs to be turned off manually....
[00:11] <^AndreA^> I was wondering if anyone could help me "translating" those messages to English... LOL
[00:11] <^AndreA^> something like:
[00:11] <^AndreA^> ata8.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED
[00:12] <^AndreA^> ata8.00: status: { DRDY }
[00:12] <^AndreA^> ata8: hard resetting link
[00:12] <^AndreA^> ata8: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
[00:12] <^AndreA^> etc etc...
[00:13] <^AndreA^> any idea anyone?
[00:15] <^AndreA^> if i limit the transfer (eg: rsync --bwlimit=xyz) the computer works fine...
[00:17] <^AndreA^> maybe if I'm in the wrong chat someone could also direct me to the right one...
[00:19] <beata|lemur> I'm unsure myself, but it sounds more of a hardware issue than a driver one.
[00:19] <^AndreA^> for SMART the disk seems to be fine...
[00:20] <^AndreA^> this error says "host bus error"
[00:21] <^AndreA^> res 40/00:04:49:21:3d/00:00:01:00:00/40 Emask 0x32 (host bus error)
[00:23] <^AndreA^> I've also thought it might be the SATA cable...
[00:24] <^AndreA^> even though that one should always work or not...
[00:24] <^AndreA^> it shouldn't be something random...
[07:24] <rsalveti> can someone help updating the natty meta package for ti-omap4?
[07:25] <rsalveti> latest kernel available is 2.6.38-1207.10, that was published at march 26, but meta still needs an update
[07:25] <rsalveti> meta is using Ubuntu-2.6.38.1206.5
[07:25] <rsalveti> cooloney: ^
[07:25] <rsalveti> apw: ^ :-)
[07:28] <cooloney> rsalveti: ok, i will take a look at it
[07:28] <rsalveti> cooloney: thanks!
[07:28] <cooloney> rsalveti: or let apw and rtg know that
[07:29] <cooloney> rsalveti: np, man
[07:29] <cooloney> rsalveti: it's time for you to go to sleep
[07:29] <rsalveti> cooloney: yeah, going afk now :-)
[07:50] <fairuz> morning
[10:39] <ogra_> apw, is anyone working on the meta update for omap4 ?
[10:39]  * ogra_ sees you were pinged above for it 
[10:48] <cooloney> ogra_: i'm working on that. 
[10:48] <smb> ogra_, That apw is only virtual (bip)
[10:48] <smb> The real one is on holiday. :)
[10:48] <cooloney> ogra_: will try to ping rtg to update 
[10:49] <cooloney> smb: hehe, yeah, long time no chat, man
[10:49] <cooloney> how's going
[10:49] <smb> cooloney, Not too bad. :) Beside all the winching about xen. :-P
[10:49] <smb> cooloney, Are you doing well?
[10:53] <cooloney> smb: cool, so you do like the word "virtual" now
[10:53] <cooloney> smb: i'm very good, thx. 
[10:53]  * cooloney gonna out for an early dinner. 
[10:57] <ogra_> smb, cooloney-afk, ahh, thanks !
[13:36] <ogra_> tgardner, !
[13:37] <tgardner> ogra_, dude
[13:37] <ogra_> we are in the pretty urgent need of an omap4 meta for the beta images 
[13:37] <ogra_> would you mind uploading one ? :)
[13:38] <tgardner> ogra_, checking. I thought I had.
[13:38] <tgardner> ogra_, indeed, you're right.
[13:38] <ogra_> :)
[13:46] <tgardner> ogra_, [ubuntu/natty] linux-meta-ti-omap4 2.6.38.1207.6 (Waiting for	approval)
[13:46] <ogra_> thanks
[13:47] <ogra_> i'll care for the rest
[13:52] <rsalveti> cool
[13:54] <ogasawara> sweet, 2.6.39-rc1.  /me gets ready to open the O tree
[14:11] <tgardner> ogasawara, did you get a chance to use bjf's create-cve-tracker tool?
[14:11] <ogasawara> tgardner: I did when I was previously working some cve's
[14:11] <ogasawara> tgardner: has it changed recently?
[14:12] <tgardner> ogasawara, no, but its had many improvements since I last used it. its pretty handy.
[15:51] <doko> ogasawara: please could you have a look at https://launchpadlibrarian.net/67694047/buildlog_ubuntu-natty-i386.linphone_3.3.2-3ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[15:51] <doko> linux/videodev.h not found
[15:52] <doko> I did see something similiar in xine-lib and just disabled something in the build. but is this really expected?
[15:53] <ogasawara> doko: looks correct, linux/videodev.h doesn't exist.  I suspect it should be linux/videodev2.h
[15:54] <Sarvatt> doko: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg27519.html
[15:54] <doko> Sarvatt: could you care about this build failure?
[15:56] <cooloney-afk> tgardner: hey tim, could you please update the natty meta package to use our latest 1207.10 ti-omap4 release?
[15:57] <tgardner> cooloney-afk, it was upload a couple of hours ago. 2.6.38.1207.6	 release (main)	 1 hour 50 minutes ago
[15:58] <cooloney> tgardner: ah, great, thx. i'm just back to home and forget to ping about that before i left for dinner
[15:58] <tgardner> cooloney, ogra_ is trying to build some release iamges from it as we speak
[16:00] <cooloney> tgardner: actually i tried to update meta package myself before you are online, but not sure about how to do that
[16:00] <tgardner> cooloney, it takes a special kind of magic.
[16:00] <cooloney> tgardner: so for this mapping, need i just an entry at debian/changelog file?
[16:00] <tgardner> cooloney, yep. I use 'dch -i' to start the entry.
[16:01] <cooloney> tgardner: yeah, it is, because i just saw an entry in every git commit log
[16:02] <tgardner> cooloney, the meta packages don't have as much infrastructure in the rules file as the rest of the kernel packages. its much simpler
[16:02] <cooloney> tgardner: interesting, how does the system know the kernel mapping? just get that info from the changelog file? 
[16:03] <tgardner> cooloney, the binary packages are constructed using the ABI which is extracted from the changelog.
[16:07] <cooloney> tgardner: so just adding an entry in changelog is enough, right? magic to me
[16:07] <cooloney> and it looks like this:
[16:07] <cooloney> linux-meta-ti-omap4 (2.6.38.1206.5) natty; urgency=low
[16:07] <cooloney> +
[16:07] <cooloney> +  * linux-ti-omap4 2.6.38-1206.7

[16:07] <cooloney> + -- Tim Gardner <tim.gardner@canonical.com>  Thu, 24 Mar 2011 06:33:55 -0600
[16:08] <cooloney> tgardner: oh, i think you didn't update the natty-meta tree in our git server
[16:09] <tgardner> cooloney, you're right. lemme check whats there 'cause its clashing when I push
[16:09] <cooloney> tgardner: no worries, as long as ogra_ got what he want, -:)
[16:10] <tgardner> cooloney, well, I do have to get the repo consistent
[16:12] <tgardner> cooloney, uh, it helps if I push the right branch. all up to date now.
[16:30] <cooloney> tgardner: great, i got updates now, thx
[16:30]  * cooloney is going to sleep.

[17:54] <kristian-aalborg> jjohansen: hey
[17:54] <jjohansen> ki kristian-aalborg
[17:55] <kristian-aalborg> I was thinking of something... would you perhaps be interested in putting together a tutorial for the procedure I'm trying to do? 
[17:56] <kristian-aalborg> I'm planning to start a website about using old laptops for this and that ;)
[18:01] <bjf> brb
[18:02] <jjohansen> kristian-aalborg: hrmm, I'm not sure what there is to add on the current procedures, but if they aren't sufficient then I will definitely do some updating
[18:03] <kristian-aalborg> I'd say the whole "build from (tweaked) old config" guide is missing
[19:57]  * bjf -> lunch
[20:03] <jjohansen> -> lunch
[20:07] <bekks> hi
[20:08] <bekks> I'm here cause I'm supporting a "case" in #ubuntu-de - someone has a SAS attached LTO4 tape drive, which doesnt show up neither in lsscsi, nor in /dev/*mt*, BUT has an entry in /dev/sg*
[20:09] <bekks> Ubuntu version is 10.10 32bit, using the .35-28 kernel.
[20:09] <bekks> Any suggestions on how to debug this further?
[20:10] <bekks> If needed, I have his dmesg and lspci outputs handy on nopaste.
[20:10] <tgardner> bekks, start a bug report from the affected machine using 'ubuntu-bug linux'. that way we can capture some dmesg info
[20:10] <JFo> you just did beat me to it tgardner-server- 
[20:10] <JFo> :)
[20:11] <bekks> dmesg is this one: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/362851/
[20:11] <bekks> lspci is this one: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/362856/
[20:11] <bekks> Still needing the ubuntu-bug?
[20:11] <JFo> yep
[20:12] <bekks> Ok.
[20:13] <BenC> mptsas...never a good start to a bug report
[20:14] <bekks> Thats what I feared...
[20:18] <bekks> Ah, there he is. Hi northalpha 
[20:18] <northalpha> hi all
[20:19] <bekks> northalpha: You're already on working out the "ubuntu-bug linux"
[20:19] <northalpha> working, bu unsure which catergory
[20:20] <bekks> Not having it handy - I guess something like "hardware" would be ok.
[20:20] <northalpha> Choices:   1: Audio   2: Filesystem   3: Graphics   4: Kernel Config   5: Networking   6: Hibernate/Resume   7: Suspend/Resume   8: Other   9: I don't know   C: Cancel 
[20:20] <bekks> I'd choose 4 then.
[20:20]  * BenC wonders why "storage" isn't a choice
[20:20] <bekks> or 9.
[20:21] <northalpha> dont want to fill in a bug report wrong
[20:21] <northalpha> A bug is considered a regression if the issue did not exist on a previous kernel.  Is this a regression?
[20:21] <northalpha> yes or no
[20:21] <bekks> no
[20:22] <bekks> Since we dont know that for sure.
[20:22] <northalpha> ok

[20:22] <bekks> JFo: done :)
[20:23] <JFo> danke
[20:23] <northalpha> hopefully i did niot mess it up
[20:23] <northalpha> =) my first bug report
[20:23] <northalpha> if it s a bug
[20:23] <JFo> bekks, got a bug number?
[20:23] <bekks> Just one moment - I'm completing the report.
[20:24] <northalpha> thanks m8
[20:24] <JFo> ah, ok :)
[20:26] <bekks> northalpha: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/745981 please read the comment I created and do as you are told there :)
[20:26] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 745981 in linux "Quantum Ultrium LTO4 tape drive not recognized" [Undecided,New]
[20:28] <northalpha> ok will add files
[20:28] <northalpha> have to create an account?
[20:29] <bekks> I guess so, yes.
[20:29] <bekks> No, it's free, and you won't get a fridge delivered.
[20:34] <bekks> northalpha: After you created an account, please give me your launchpad nick, so I can ask for changing the owneship onto your account.
[20:35] <northalpha> ok guys, no fridge, its ok ;) files uploaded
[20:35] <northalpha> bekks: <--
[20:36] <bekks> perfectly :)
[20:37] <bekks> I guess, now you can just follow the progess of that bug.
[20:38] <northalpha> ok thanks if you need something, i will try to help
[20:38] <northalpha> but i am far away from pro
[20:57] <JFo> brb, need to take an eye break
[21:00] <MeanEYE> Did someone test 2.6.38? Does it really bring that many improvements from users point of view?
[21:00] <bekks> I did, yes it did. :)
[21:01] <bekks> It eliminated some asymc I/O bugs regarding ext4/xfs, it supports automatic cgroup scheduling.
[21:01] <MeanEYE> Can I just download it, compile and use it? Or is there a drawback to that. :)
[21:02] <tgardner> MeanEYE, subscribe to https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa and get the backport.
[21:03] <MeanEYE> Whoa, thanks. :) <3
[21:06] <MeanEYE> Hm, am using Maverick, can I install that? 
[21:07] <tgardner> MeanEYE, yeah, it'll install just fine.
[21:08] <MeanEYE> Can you tell me which package to install?!
[21:08] <tgardner> sudo apt-get install linux-image-server-lts-backport-natty
[21:08] <tgardner> or generic, whatever you prefer
[21:08] <MeanEYE> Ok thanks.
[21:09] <MeanEYE> Nope, no such package. Nvm, I'll just wait for Natty. Thanks anyway.
[21:58] <kees> where is /usr3 on tangerine go?
[22:00] <Sarvatt> kees: I still see it?
[22:00] <sforshee> kees, are you in a chroot ?
[22:00] <kees> AARGH
[22:00] <kees> sforshee: yeah, durr. thanks
[22:00] <Sarvatt> I do that at least once a week :P
[22:01] <sforshee> I've started doing all my clones from /home/usr3 so I can do pulls from inside chroots
[22:01] <kees> ah-ha, smart. I'll have to switch to that.
[22:02] <Sarvatt> well try to scp kernels from tangerine onto zinc from inside a chroot
[22:49] <slangasek> ogasawara: hi, I see that at least one bug has been fix-committed for the kernel in natty; is there a post-beta upload schedule for the kernel packages?
[22:50] <slangasek> I'd be interested to see if we could get linux-libc-dev made multiarch-safe before release, since this needs to be fixed before any other work on multiarch cross-compilation can go forward
[22:51] <slangasek> (I would request a separate FFe for this)
[22:51] <kristian-aalborg> what would the minimum requirements be for running screen + ncmpcpp?
[22:52] <kristian-aalborg> I'm getting a machine with 96 MB of ram tomorrow
[22:54] <bryceh> hey what was the outcome of all the hybernate support discussions?  Do we still support it or should we be wontfix'ing hibernate graphics bugs now?
