| aakshay | jjohansen, hi.. i am done with scull driver thoroughly now how can i start contributing the community? do i need to first study more? please suggest.. thanks | 04:38 |
| jjohansen | aakshay: which community? aakshay are you more interested in anything kernel or ubuntu kernel | 04:50 |
| jjohansen | anything kernel -> http://kernelnewbies.org/ | 04:50 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, yes.. i am intrested in ubuntu kernel development. :p | 04:50 |
| jjohansen | aakshay: ubuntu kernel, the place to jump in is kernel bugs | 04:51 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, ok... what bugs can i start with? | 04:51 |
| jjohansen | aakshay: there is bug triaging and then there is taking any of the bugs associated with the linux package and working on it | 04:52 |
| aakshay | i have seen the list of bugs but was not able to select one. can u please help me choosing one for a begineer? :) | 04:52 |
| jjohansen | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BugTriage/BugDay | 04:52 |
| jjohansen | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BugTriage/Process | 04:52 |
| jjohansen | http://voices.canonical.com/kernelteam/?p=6208 | 04:52 |
| jjohansen | those are triage links but bugs can be found in them readily enough | 04:52 |
| jjohansen | http://reports.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/jfo/kernel-buglist-by-team.html | 04:53 |
| jjohansen | that is the hot bug list | 04:54 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, thankyou so much but i am done with triaging.. i want to enter into the bug correction.. | 04:54 |
| aakshay | so which bug can i start with?.. :p | 04:54 |
| jjohansen | aakshay: triage links don't need to be used for just triaging there are a lot of bugs in there | 04:55 |
| jjohansen | aakshay: anything that grabs your interest and isn't assigned | 04:55 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, ok... :).. | 04:55 |
| jjohansen | well you could work on some of the assigned ones too ;) | 04:55 |
| aakshay | ;) | 04:55 |
| aakshay | then i visiting the links and will try to find one bug for me... :p | 04:56 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, thanks a lot.. :) | 04:56 |
| jjohansen | aakshay: np | 04:56 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, and what to do if i would like to enter into the driver development or kernel development?.. | 04:57 |
| jjohansen | aakshay: that is more upstream kernel work, identify an area your interested in | 04:58 |
| jjohansen | say its filesystems and maybe btrfs in particular | 04:58 |
| jjohansen | join the fs-devel mailing list and the btrfs mailing list, go to their wiki (if the project has one (btrfs does)) | 04:59 |
| jjohansen | start by following along, and maybe picking out a bug or something to work on | 04:59 |
| jjohansen | submit patches, get feedback, rinse and repeat | 04:59 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, ok.. sorry but how to join the mailing lists? | 05:00 |
| jjohansen | you do it enough you become part of the project community and as you get more involved you know more what needs done | 05:00 |
| jjohansen | aakshay: it will depend on the project | 05:00 |
| jjohansen | a good place to start is http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/ | 05:01 |
| jjohansen | http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html | 05:01 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, woow!!! it sounds more fun now.... | 05:01 |
| jjohansen | that isn't every project but its a good start | 05:01 |
| aakshay | i am starting with the links... | 05:02 |
| aakshay | jjohansen, thanks for guidance.. :) | 05:02 |

| apw | morning :) | 08:12 |
| smb | apw, I think there was some blacklist fix going somewhere for one specific nvidia chipset | 08:12 |
| smb | but I have not checked about that upstream | 08:12 |
| smb | or I cannot remember to have | 08:13 |
| smb | And any other affected controllers would need to extend that blacklist if it is there... | 08:13 |
| smb | apw, ... in theory "libata: Implement ATA_FLAG_NO_DIPM and apply it to mcp65" | 08:15 |
| apw | it doesn't seem to be in mainline then so far sm | 08:16 |
| apw | smb | 08:16 |
| smb | Guess then I need to ask, it went to Jeff Garzik+linux-ide | 08:16 |
| smb | apw, I put you on cc | 08:21 |
| jk- | smb & apw: I've implemented 'patch update notifications' on patchwork.ozlabs.org | 08:24 |

| smb | apw, Stop saying my thoughs before me. :-P | 08:26 |
| jk- | heh | 08:26 |
| jk- | yeah, there's a bit of a backlog there | 08:26 |
| apw | i think the lack of per release info has been a major blocker on it | 08:27 |

| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 634487 in linux "t1.micro instance hangs when installing java" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/634487 | 08:36 |
| smb | apw, Well I was not able to reproduce it with CentOS 5.5 + Xen (3.0.3 and 3.4.3) locally. So it really looks to me like something that is hidden in their host environment. Did not get much feedback to my findings though, so I have not followed up | 08:40 |
| apw | ok thanks | 08:47 |
| bj0_ | aufs not work in .37? | 09:28 |
| eagles0513875_ | hey gusy not sure if you can help me but every time i try to connect to my wpa2 wifi connection natty kernel panics. my wifi card is an atheros card | 09:35 |
| eagles0513875_ | gnomefreak: do you kn ow how i can file a feature freeze exception to get the kernel patched asap on natty | 09:52 |
| gnomefreak | dorry i ner not | 09:56 |
| eagles0513875_ | ok :( this is an urgent fix that need to be included | 09:56 |
| gnomefreak | damn my typing suck today. im not good with gum_carlies | 10:02 |
| gnomefreak | just for the record all day yesterday i was unable too boot using 2.6.38-8-generic-pae it kept restarting and/or freezing up. ill be back another smoke would be great. | 10:05 |
| eagles0513875_ | and im having kernel panic issues which i have a fix for | 10:05 |
| eagles0513875_ | but nto sure who to talk to | 10:05 |
| smb | eagles0513875_, If you got a fix and a bug report going with it I would write an email to kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com pointing to those. There should be no need for ffe unless your fix is a whole new feature | 10:08 |
| eagles0513875_ | no its a patch to the current kernel in natty | 10:09 |
| eagles0513875_ | thanks smb :) thats exactly the info i needed | 10:09 |
| eagles0513875_ | will do that when i get home | 10:09 |
| smb | that should be ok then. more a question is seeing trees in the forest :) | 10:09 |
| apw | yep, we will need a bug filed if there isn't one, and get the patch out. make sure it says where the patch came from, or is properly signed off if it is new | 10:10 |
| eagles0513875_ | i have the link of the patch as well :) | 10:10 |
| eagles0513875_ | courtesy of some kind people from upstream and the kernel channel :) | 10:10 |
| apw | all the provenance information including the link is great | 10:12 |
| eagles0513875_ | apw: ya its imho for those with atheros cards a big show stopper for natty | 10:14 |
| bj0_ | is there a way to enable aufs support in .36 or .37 kernels w/out recompiling the kernel? | 10:17 |
| apw | bj0_, in the mainline kernels ? aufs is not in those kernels | 10:35 |
| bj0_ | apw: are the mainline kernels different than what ships with the releases? | 10:38 |
| apw | yes, they are mainline kernel sources without any ubuntu patches | 10:38 |
| apw | aufs is an out of tree driver, and included as part of the ubuntu delta, and therefore not in mainline kerenels | 10:38 |
| bj0_ | ah | 10:38 |
| bj0_ | do you know if it will be in the 11.04 release? | 10:39 |
| apw | bj0_, aufs2? yes it is included in the natty kernels, needed for the CDs | 10:41 |

| smoser | will a rebase to 2.6.38.3 (upstream stable) be done before release ? | 19:30 |
| tgardner | smoser, no more rebasing, but 2.6.38.3 is already applied to master-next | 19:32 |
| smoser | master-next ? | 19:32 |
| smoser | for -updates ? | 19:32 |
| smoser | sorry for not understanding what that means | 19:32 |
| tgardner | smoser, its the working branch, but typically includes the next stuff to be uplaoded. | 19:32 |
| smoser | so "no more rebasing". did that mean "this will not make natty release"? | 19:33 |
| ogasawara | I believe apw is planning to do one last upload on monday which will include the 2.6.38.3 patch set | 19:33 |
| tgardner | smoser, I doubt if this will get uploaded before final release. | 19:33 |
| tgardner | um, I sit corrected. | 19:34 |
| smoser | :) | 19:34 |
| smoser | so the end result is that i would expect bug 662288 to be fixed | 19:34 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 662288 in linux "rt3090: freeze on module rt2800pci unload" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/662288 | 19:34 |
| smoser | as the opener says its fix is in 2.6.38.3 | 19:34 |
| ogasawara | we can probably add the bug number to the changelog so it'll get closed automatically | 19:35 |
| smoser | would it be appropriate to mark it "fix-commited" then ? | 19:36 |
| smoser | i'll eleave that to you. | 19:36 |
| ogasawara | smoser: lemme just double check the commit is actually applied to master-next. I'll fix up the bug status accordingly. | 19:38 |
| smoser | thank you. | 19:38 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: I'm gonna update master-next to shove the buglink in the commit message for 662288 so it get's closed by the janitor when we upload | 19:44 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, ack | 19:45 |

| quentusrex | Is there any way to specify the kernel CONFIG_HZ option from the boot line? | 21:04 |
| sforshee | quentusrex, no, afraid not | 21:06 |
| quentusrex | Is there a tutorial for how to rebuild the stock server kernel and change only this option? | 21:06 |
| quentusrex | sforshee, I see tutorials on how to build the latest git repo, but I'm looking to just build the exact kernel package, but with one config change. | 21:10 |
| sforshee | quentusrex, not that I know of. The closest things I know of are the KernelMaintenance and Maintenance/Advanced pages at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev | 21:10 |
| sforshee | you'd have to edit the server flavor config file and edit it there I believe | 21:10 |
| quentusrex | Thanks. I'm trying to track down a massive performance difference between Intel and AMD hardware, as well as a performance drop from CentOS 5.2 to Ubuntu 10.10 | 21:11 |
| quentusrex | to the order of 4x as fast on Intel hardware, compared to AMD. And centos is about 2x as fast. | 21:12 |
| quentusrex | sforshee, But I'm aware that the issue is probably in the software itself, but I'm trying to track down what in the software is causing the issues. | 21:14 |
| GrueMaster | What is the best way to get notified of sru kernel updates for armel? I have yet to be notified of an available kernel until just before it gets deleted. | 22:13 |
| hallyn | hey, what is the easiest way to install a maverick kernel on natty? | 22:59 |
| hallyn | dpkg -i doesn't work on the stock package. don't particularly want to compile my own, though that's starting to look easiest | 22:59 |
| herton | hallyn: any error on dpkg -i? I think it should work, but I didn't tried, I remember a lucid kernel I installed for some tests on natty worked | 23:06 |
| hallyn | herton: well, it just said | 23:07 |
| hallyn | dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-image: | 23:07 |
| hallyn | linux-image depends on linux-image-generic (= 2.6.35.28.36); however: | 23:07 |
| hallyn | but apt-get install -f didn't help | 23:07 |
| hallyn | i suppose i should just extract the contents | 23:07 |
| hallyn | d'oh | 23:07 |
| herton | hallyn: what's the deb file, is it the meta package or the linux-image...? | 23:07 |
| hallyn | heh, the .deb i grabbed doesn't have te actual kernel anyway :) | 23:07 |
| hallyn | yeah it's the meta package | 23:08 |
| hallyn | sorry about that | 23:08 |
| herton | ah ok, np :) | 23:08 |
