| ohsix | hm is rzscontrol supposed to even work (initramfs-tools-bin) running the exact same steps as in the hook to load it ends up with "Inappropriate ioctl for device" on natty; who's kernel has ramzswap support | 03:55 |
|---|---|---|
| hyperair | rzscontrol is deprecated is it not? | 05:50 |
| hyperair | nowadays there's a nice /sys interface for talking to compcache | 05:51 |
| chalet16 | I would like to create a patch for xorg-server source package but I don't know what prefix number of patch filename should I use. | 05:54 |
| chalet16 | Is there any guideline for patch number prefix? | 05:55 |
| hyperair | i've found that the patch number prefix is often perfectly random. | 05:56 |
| hyperair | in fact, with quilt, i don't really bother what my patch number prefixes are any more, because there's a series file that guarantees the order | 05:56 |
| hyperair | i think with stuff like cdbs's simple-patchsys you'd need to ensure the order by sticking an appropriate prefix | 05:56 |
| ohsix | hyperair: yea but the stuff in initramfs-tools doesn't use zram, it uses ramzswap and rzscontrol | 05:59 |
| hyperair | ohsix: right, and that's deprecated with newer kernels. | 05:59 |
| ohsix | it's still included though, it just doesn't work | 06:00 |
| hyperair | which is a bug. =p | 06:01 |
| ohsix | i guess | 06:01 |
| hyperair | patches welcome, i think? =D | 06:01 |
| ohsix | the kernel review thing i saw said it was postponed | 06:01 |
| hyperair | where? | 06:02 |

| ohsix | it was pretty handy (compcache) in 10.04 | 06:14 |
| hyperair | yes it is | 06:15 |
| hyperair | i have a compcache initscript | 06:15 |
| hyperair | http://paste.debian.net/116338/ | 06:15 |
| ohsix | i dunno what the deal with compcache is in .38 anyways; i couldn't get ramzswap to use a backing device either | 06:15 |
| hyperair | the backing device has been removed | 06:16 |
| hyperair | and compcache is no longer targeted at swap devices | 06:16 |
| hyperair | compcache can now be used with mkfs | 06:16 |
| hyperair | ohsix: given that i can still hibernate with the new compcache, i reckon it uses any swap device it can find | 06:18 |
| hyperair | without being bound to any specific swap | 06:18 |
| chalet16 | When I run pbuilder-dist natty build ../xorg-server_1.10.1-1ubuntu2.dsc I got an error "E: File /home/chalet16/pbuilder/natty-base.tgz does not exist". | 06:19 |
| chalet16 | Do I have to download natty-base file or install some package ? | 06:19 |
| ohsix | hyperair: from what i've read it's been removed entirely, and it'd have to have its allocations in a certain arena for them to be swappable and i don't know ho feasible that even is in that context | 06:23 |
| ohsix | swappable automatically, that is; and since the code that does it has been removed ... | 06:25 |
| hyperair | ohsix: it's now swappable automatically, meaning it can go into any swap. which is good. | 06:26 |
| hyperair | well any swap except its own device, i guess | 06:26 |
| hyperair | otherwise you get a recursive loop | 06:26 |
| hyperair | well these days, i've got enough RAM and ZRAM to not worry about my backing swap. \o/ | 06:27 |
| hyperair | /dev/dm-2 partition 4194300 8 1 | 06:27 |
| hyperair | /dev/zram0 partition 499996 84888 2 | 06:27 |
| hyperair | /dev/zram1 partition 499996 85240 2 | 06:27 |
| hyperair | the output from swapon -s | 06:27 |
| ohsix | nothing from zram was going to any other swap while i was playing with it, i'd have to read the source again to see what it actually does | 06:28 |
| ohsix | and as far as i understand, and what i read ages ago in the source was the backing device was a special case anyways | 06:31 |
| ohsix | i only mentioned it because loading the module manually to set one also didn't work, in addition to rzscontrol | 06:32 |
| hyperair | hm | 06:33 |
| * hyperair shrugs | 06:33 | |
| hyperair | afaik it doesn't actually explicitly swap things now, it just allocates memory using kmalloc or some other function that returns swappable memory, doesn't it? | 06:33 |
| ohsix | that's why i'd have to look, it could go either way; i don't think it does but it'd take a minute to confirm :] | 06:34 |
| abhinav- | has there been a fix for this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/os-prober/+bug/432254 ? I cannot make grub2 to let me boot into netbsd :( | 07:09 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 432254 in os-prober (Ubuntu) "*BSD not detected by os-prober" [Wishlist,Triaged] | 07:09 |
| ohsix | yea, it uses kmap/unmap_atomic; and theres no swap handling anymore that i can see | 07:13 |
| abhinav- | ah no problem , the comments on the bug report were useful. I made a 06_netbsd file and chainloaded netbsd :) | 07:27 |
| abhinav- | perhaps I will like to add support for netbsd to os-prober as I am going to stick to netbsd for long time for my projects and it should be easy enough procedure to make netbsd dual with ubuntu. | 07:29 |
| lucidfox | Is someone working on reuploading gnome-shell to oneiric? | 07:52 |
| broder | lucidfox: #ubuntu-desktop is probably a better place to ask, but doesn't that need to wait until everything is transitioned to gnome3? | 07:53 |
| lucidfox | Well, I don't know :) | 07:53 |
| broder | i'd expect it to land in https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 before anywhere else, but it doesn't look liek those packages have been re-built against oneiric yet | 07:54 |
| broder | hmm...is something up with upload.ubuntu.com's gpg verification? | 08:18 |
| micahg | lucidfox: the dependencies for gnome-shell haven't landed yet in oneiric | 08:19 |
| cdbs | lucidfox: Expect GS to land in Oneiric within a week or two *after* UDS | 08:28 |
| cdbs | Oh, and Unity would also need to be transitioned to the newer libs | 08:28 |

| c2tarun | my gnome is not accepting my password. When I enter the password the screen goes blank and then comes back to login screen. Why so? | 13:53 |
| tumbleweed | c2tarun: presumably your X session is crashing, rather than a password failure (which would just be a message saying you had the incorrect password). Check your .xsession-errors (and try gnome/unity's safe mode) | 13:54 |
| c2tarun | I'll try safe mode, but how can I check .xsession-errors? | 13:55 |
| c2tarun | tumbleweed: ^^ | 13:55 |
| tumbleweed | from a VT? / ssh in from another machine? (also, this isn't a support channel :) ) | 13:56 |
