fairuzWhat does SW acknowledge means?12:30
fairuz(to clear an interrupt)12:30
ohsixits a bit the software handling the irq can set to tell the hw that it knows about the last one12:31
=== TheMuso` is now known as TheMuso
ohsixusually to let the hw know its ok to discard something or move on12:31
fairuzohsix: so normally writing 1 to the acknowledge register will do the job right?12:43
ohsixi dunno your circumstances, if that's what does it then yes12:45
fairuzActually I cleared the interrupt but it stills reenter the handler 12:52
fairuzso obviously there is something else that i'm not clearing :D12:53

mahmohdoes anyone know how to override the bios for kvm support with a kernel option?  kvm=enable?16:13
tgardnermahmoh, you generally have to enable virtualization in the BIOS16:14
mahmohtgardner: I did but it's still reporting it's disabled in the bios, and I updated to the latest bios with the same results16:17
mahmohah, I might have to disable trusted execution on my dell hardware it appears ...16:19
mjg59mahmoh: If it's reporting that it's disabled by the BIOS then the BIOS has (a) not enabled support and (b) has locked the MSR16:19
mjg59And yes, if trusted execution is enabled and you want to use kvm then you may need to boot in a trusted setup16:20
Krunchyou may also try to poke at the MSR manually http://timetobleed.com/enabling-bios-options-on-a-live-server-with-no-rebooting/16:21
mahmohthere we go ... how much more confusing can they make it?16:22
mahmohmjg59: I'm guessing there's no kernel override then ;)  disabling the trusted execution worked (whew), so no problems anymore16:23
mahmohexcept with Dell'16:24
mahmohs bios that is16:24
mahmohmjg59: thx16:24

jjohansenmanjo`: so I installed 64bit natty on the x120e18:24
manjo`jjohansen, and ..18:25
jjohansenmanjo`: I'm not sure where you want to go with the bug from hear,18:25
manjo`so that means you are not seeing the bug ? 18:25
jjohansenmanjo`: basically the rtl driver needs to be removed during the install18:25
jjohansenmanjo`: no I saw it plenty18:25
jjohansenmanjo`: I updated Bug #74441918:26
ubot2Launchpad bug 744419 in linux "[NATTY] [ Kernel oops installing natty @tty_write()" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/74441918:26
=== herton_lunch is now known as herton
manjo`hmm... not sure how we can fix that for natty... probably have udev rules that removes it ? 18:26
manjo`udev rules based on DMI info ? 18:27
tgardner-afkmanjo`, blacklist in /etc/modprobe.d ?18:27
=== tgardner-afk is now known as tgardner
manjo`tgardner-afk, right or that ... 18:27
jjohansenmanjo`: could black list it for the install disk, I'm not sure you want to black list for after, it seems to be working (for some value of working)18:27
* manjo` writing to mmany udev rules these days 18:28
manjo`jjohansen, also can you install cheese and see if you can record video... the camera is not recording video and showing a blank screen on that one 18:28
manjo`jjohansen, what would the rtl driver cause this bug ? 18:29
jjohansenmanjo`: hrmm give me a sec, I have cheese installed in both 32 and 64 bit but I never tried grabbing video18:29
jjohansenmanjo`: I haven't chased it far enough to figure that out18:29
jjohansenmanjo`: it took me a lot just to get the stupid thing installed, that was my limit for the weekend18:30
manjo`jjohansen, yeah natty is very busted on that x120e18:31
manjo`jjohansen, also if you switch your bios to legacy only and don't look for UEFI you will have better results 18:31
jjohansenmanjo`: hrmm, I don't know about that, I haven't found it any worse than natty on any of my other machines, all of which have problems18:31
jjohansenmanjo`: also I just did a bios update on it this morning so we will see if that helps anything18:32
jjohansenmanjo`: yep cheese crashes trying to record video18:36
manjo`jjohansen, it does the same on maverick too.. thanks for the confirmation 18:36
manjo`jjohansen, this is with the latest bios update as well right ? 18:36
jjohansenmanjo`: yep18:38
jjohansenmanjo`: so cheese gets stuck in a polling loop on fd 318:43
jjohansenmanjo`: which is returning EAGAIN18:43
manjo`you think its a cheese bug ?18:44
jjohansenmanjo`: well there is definitely a cheese bug there, it shouldn't let a device returning EGAIN send it into an infinite polling loop but the device isn't responding to the request18:45
jjohansenso at least 2 bugs18:45

kamaltgardner: should there be an oneiric dchroot on tangerine?  (is an oneiric dchroot even possible at this point?)   I'm building the ubuntu-oneiric kernel in a natty chroot on tangerine now, fwiw.19:03
=== skaet_afk is now known as skaet
tgardnerkamal, not yet19:07
* kamal expects the natty chroot to work for ubuntu-oneiric anyway, so np19:09
kamalconfirmed: ubuntu-oneiric kernel builds okay in a natty dchroot19:12
ogasawarakamal:  I've pushed the latest oneiric bits to zinc.  it should build successfully now on i386 and amd64.  about to boot test and then build test on armel.19:12

* tgardner --> server room (one more time)20:32
kamalmjg59: got a moment to discuss intel_backlight in 2.6.39?20:38
mjg59kamal: Sure20:40
kamalhi Matthew ...20:40
kamalit looks like most of your backlight work has landed in 2.6.39...  I do see "backlight: add backlight type" and the nv_backlight and radeon_backlight bits, but the intel_backlight patch itself ("i915: Add native backlight control") appears to be missing.20:40
kamaldo we know why that's the case?20:40
mjg59We do not20:42
mjg59I suspect it conflicted and Andrew dropped it20:42
mjg59Let me try that again, then20:42
kamalah20:42
kamalok, I'll keep an eye on the repo (and intel-gfx?) for your retry...  and will try cramming your previous version in myself to test in the meantime.20:43
kamalmjg59: I'm glad I asked!  ;-)  thanks for the info (and the patches, of course!)20:45

sforsheemjg59, if you've got a minute, I was wondering about the fate of this patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/1/19/33120:58
sforsheethe conversation seemed to die without a resolution20:59
mjg59sforshee: I think I need to rewrite it from scratch20:59
mjg59sforshee: I'm also worried about it breaking other systems20:59
mjg59sforshee: But it's on my list - I was thinking about it today20:59
mjg59It needs some infrastructural changes from ACPI to get the EC handle20:59
sforsheemjg59, yeah, the driver does seem pretty ugly21:00
sforsheethat patch does get some systems working though21:00
mjg59I was going to just rewrite toshiba_acpi completely at some stage21:00
mjg59I guess I should do that on the plane tomorrow21:00
sforsheemjg59, looking forward to seeing the results :-)21:01
sforsheethanks for the update21:01
sconklinpower is intermittent here, will probably drop out here in a bit21:30
mjg59sforshee: If you'd like to test http://fpaste.org/R8HI/ that would be great21:38
mjg59sforshee: Wait, sorry, not you21:38
mjg59kamal: If you'd like to test http://fpaste.org/R8HI/ that would be great21:38
mjg59kamal: I've build-tested it, but nothing more21:38
kamalmjg59: absolutely, I'll give it a spin right away21:39
* ogasawara back on later22:07
kamalmjg59: wonderful!  that patch works just fine on top of ubuntu-oneiric (2.6.39-rc1-ish).22:37

mjg59kamal: Excellent22:40
mjg59manjo`: Does your X120e have the rtl wifi?22:41
mjg59manjo`: If so, are you seeing stalls when it tries to request_firmware() on resume?22:42
manjo`mjg59, looking ... 22:43
manjo`mjg59, yes it has rtl8192ce ... and I don't see stalls22:45
mjg59manjo`: Ok. Using rtlwifi, or using the realtek driver?22:46
manjo`it resumes ok (I am on 10.10) 2.6.35-28 22:46
mjg59Ah, the realtek one. Ok.22:46
mjg59So rtlwifi is just buggy. I'll work on that.22:46
manjo`yep I am not on rtlwifi22:46
manjo`I am using the realtek driver 22:46
jjohansenmjg59: yes the rtlwifi driver is very buggy, and yes I see stalls coming out of suspend sometimes, have also had coming out of suspend lock up22:48
mjg59jjohansen: Yeah, I've just added it to the pm-utils unload/load blacklist for now22:50
jjohansenmjg59: the rtl8192ce driver is also responsible for the 64 bit install failures22:51
mjg59jjohansen: Ok, not something we've seen22:51
