[08:20] Anyone around who can sponsor my debdiff? [08:23] cdbs, I don't think here. We rather work git oriented for the kernel. I'd probably try #ubuntu-devel [08:23] smb: :o [08:25] cdbs, Oh I see, module init tools [08:26] smb: bug #747059 [08:26] cdbs, Sorry missed that in the scrollback [08:26] smb: sorry its bug #747025 [08:26] Launchpad bug 747025 in module-init-tools "Modprobe passes 11n_disable=1 option to iwl3945 which doesn't support the option" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/747025 [08:27] Hm.

[08:50] hello [08:50] need help to shutdown the computer [08:51] cpu and chassis fans keep spinning [08:51] my motherboard is amd pc chips m810lmr [08:51] im uusing ubuntu server 32bit [08:51] i tried with pci=noacpi option un grub [08:51] tried to disable apm/acpi in bios [08:52] any tips? [08:59] smb: okay, thanks a lot! [09:03] can anyone help me with my issue above [09:03] qwebirc44173, I sort of feel inclined to say pull the power cable... There is a lot of 32bit ubuntu server versions around too (hardy, lucid, ...). But you may try to look at /sys/power/disk. It should be either set to platform or shutdown and you may try the other one [09:04] smb: happened the same xubuntu 10.04 [09:04] i could not shutdown completly [09:05] smb: what do you mean with pull the power cable [09:06] qwebirc44173, That will surely stop the fans. Sorry I should have used sarcasm tags. [09:06] :P [09:06] i though it was just an expression [09:07] thought [09:45] qwebirc44173: Like I already explained... Disabling ACPI is only going to make absolutely sure the machine won [09:45] 't shut down. [09:56] soren: ei [09:58] output of /sys/power/disk is test testproc [shutdown] reboot [09:59] Why is shutdown between [] [09:59] that is active [09:59] hm? [10:00] Is that still a boot with disabled acpi? [10:00] smb: what is active? [10:00] yes [10:00] i think [10:00] let me reboot [10:00] smb: it's using pci=noacpi [10:01] That would explain why there is now platform. I mean the option within [] is selected [10:01] I mean there is no platform [10:13] smb: no platform to shutdown? [10:15] qwebirc44173, Platform would be the default on most machines, but that uses acpi methods, so if acpi is disabled I won't expect platform. Well actually without acpi and probably no apm there is hardly any way to shutdown automatically as soren told you [10:16] smb: yes but i tried with those enabled [10:16] before [10:16] i dont know what else i can do [10:16] im gonna try another distro [10:22] qwebirc44173, well I suspect rather another bios or a newer release/kernel... [10:24] No matter what you do, if you keep disabling acpi, there's no way it's going to shut down. [10:26] If you can't turn on the lights in your hours, and you think it's due to the light switch, removing the light switch and shouting at the hole in the wall where it used to be isn't going to turn on your lights. [10:26] s/hours/house/ [10:27] ..and moving into a different house, and removing all the light switches there will yield the same results. [10:28] soren, Still when people want to move I won't stand in front of the truck. :) [10:28] <_ruben> unless it uses apm (which is not tied into acpi, is it?) [10:28] _ruben, right, that would be independent. But it could be disabled in the bios or not implemented [10:29] _ruben: apm is a different system, yes. With its own set of problems. Like, say, not supporting SMP. [10:29] I seriously doubt is very well tested these days. [10:35] smb: now I tried with everything enabled [10:36] it still shows [shutdown] [10:36] and wont turn off fans [10:40] IT sounds a bit like something is wrong with the acpi bios interface, but that is not something that can easily be solved on irc. You should file a bug report about it, and possibly see whether you can try newer kernels from the mainline builds. [10:40] im gonna try acpi=force [10:40] the bios supports APM and ACPI [10:41] you would see what is used in dmesg [10:42] k [10:47] smb: it's using IRQ [10:51] ??? most computers do... Without context this makes not much sense. [10:51] Allocate IRQ for PCI VGA yes [10:53] Really, it would be better to open a bug report with gathered info. Depending on release that is done with "ubuntu-bug -p linux" or without the need for -p.

[12:44] need to know [12:49] qwebirc44173: you have CONFIG_APM=y in your kernel config? [12:49] or M [12:49] it's M [12:50] :\ [12:50] ah it's a module [12:50] how to change to y [12:50] qwebirc44173: just load it then? using modprobe? [12:50] oh [12:50] :) [12:50] like sudo modprobe apm? [12:50] fairuz: im not linux geek :) [12:51] ill try [12:51] qwebirc44173: i'm not too. just a user [12:51] fairuz: "Yes the kernel is not processing the APM command (advanced power management).

[12:55] no idea [12:55] :D afaik, you have to know the path to use modprobe [12:56] lolz [12:56] the path of the module of course [12:56] Sometimes a Linux kernel is not configured properly for shutting down a computer properly. You can recompile the kernel to fix this problem. [12:56] fail [12:57] search the path for the apm module [12:57] and load it from there [12:59] modprobe apm FATAL: Error inserting apm (/lib/modules/2.6.35-28-generic-pae/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/apm.ko): No such device [12:59] fail [12:59] yea ikonia :) [12:59] fairuz need to know path :x [13:13] modprobe does not need a path, insmod would. But the reason for the module failing to load is only visible in dmesg. And even when loaded, at least that is how it used to be, apm will only be used when acpi is not active at all. And again using apm will take away other features only acpi has. [13:14] smb: i dont care about acpi [13:14] :p [13:15] smb: ERROR: Module acpi does not exist in /proc/modules [13:15] it's disabled right [13:16] No its build-in [13:17] in motherboard?

[13:47] smb, for Natty? I just uploaded something a couple of days ago [13:48] tgardner, For natty, yes. It seemed newer that current bzr and apt-get source at least [13:48] qwebirc44173, It sounds at least like your bios does not provide the interfaces to enable apm at least. [13:49] smb: there is an option to enbale [13:49] enable [13:49] :x [13:49] it shows APM and ACPI [13:49] qwebirc44173, Just to make sure, have you checked with the mainboard vendor whether ther is any newer bios? [13:50] smb: there is but im afraid to flash it [13:50] :( [13:50] * smb bites into his desk...

Quite old... Maybe you want to check out the firmware test suite to see how badly your current state is or is not... [13:54] https://launchpad.net/~firmware-testing-team [13:56] tgardner, So I would have a source deb, though I got no doubt that you probably have that done already by now [13:57] smb, pretty close to done. [13:57] tgardner, Yeah too slow is me [14:08] how come linux-source-2.6.32_2.6.32-02063212_all.deb has nothing in it except an empty ./usr/src/linux-source-2.6.32/ and a few ./usr/share/doc/ files? [14:10] smb: sorry but how can I use firmware test [14:11] qwebirc44173, If you follow that link, there are PPAs for various releases. If you add the one for yours then you can apt-get install fwts and use the command of the same name [14:13] smb: im going to use Firmware Test Suite (Maverick Stable) [14:17] where can i get the patches that were applied to the mainline 2.6.32.12 kernel? [14:22] Shred00, Hm, the separate patches started only later and I am pretty sure the kernel-source package was broken often. Maybe it works taking a 2.6.32.12 kernel and try to get the patches from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32.20-lucid/ applied... [14:23] wouldn't it be closer to use 2.6.32.11-lucid's patches? [14:23] it's a real shame that i can't reproduce the mainline build exactly since it's that build that i need to start bisecting patches out of to find the breakage [14:23] Yeah. Funny why those are there [14:37] smb: just sudo poweroff in archlinux [14:37] it worked [14:40] qwebirc44173, Ok, so its something in the kernel between whatever version archlinux uses and Maverick. And maybe it is fixed in the kernel Natty uses. [14:40] I hope so :) [14:40] smb: maybe it's fixed in Lucid? [14:41] smb: can I boot up using only cli in desktop livecd? [14:42] qwebirc44173, Not sure it works on the livecd but you may try to add "text" to the boot commandline [14:42] will try [14:43] cd === dannf_ is now known as dannf [15:02] ogasawara, have you tried natty this morning? my hp mini restarts gdm every time I touch the mouse.
