apwohsix, the confirmed update was likely a bot08:07
apwohsix, can you get the picture attached to the bug please08:07
ohsixi attached one, did it not make it?08:07
apwohsix, bah you did, stupid interface hiding it from me08:09
ohsixthere were only 2 scsi/block/vm patches in the changelog that might have something to do with it but none that i can see how08:10
ohsixyou can probably reproduce it easily enough; it's on x86_64 but i don't know if that matters08:12
apwohsix, yep i am sure they will, i've seen similar on .39, but neither of those boxes boot at the moment08:12
apwi've tagged it up for the stable peep to sort out08:12
ohsixi was trying .39 from the xorg-edgers ppa for other reasons & hit it a week or two ago; didn't report a bug but i did tell one of the guys on top of that stuff08:13
jussiMorning all08:21
jussiIve managed to reproduce https://launchpad.net/bugs/792291 and the machine is still on, is there anyone about that can help me get anything out of the machine to help debug? 08:23
ubot2Ubuntu bug 792291 in linux "Machine hung, display frozen" [Undecided,Confirmed]08:23
apwjussi, do you know what you did to reproduce it?  if so record that08:27
apwi seem to remember we didn't know if the machine is still alive on the network or not, you could try and determine that08:27
jussiapw: unfortunately not, its happened several times, at random intervals.08:28
jussiapw: let me try08:28
jussiHrm, Ive no idea of that machines ip (we have a dhcp system here), but the network lights near the cable are still blinking08:29
apwjussi, if you know the machine name, name.local often works as a hostname on the local lan08:29
jussiyeah, it doesnt appear to be reponsive08:30
apwjussi, and you have tried the sysrq options out?08:31
jussiahh, reisub rebooted it. 08:32
apwjussi, so in theory you may have some output in your logs sync'd to disk maybe, cirtainly worth looking now08:33
apwjussi, and record that reisub did something too08:33
jussiapw: ok. which logs in particular are wothe looking at ?08:33
apwsyslog contains the output of dmesg if we are lucky08:34
=== smb` is now known as smb
apwlooknig for sysrq may help08:34
smbmorning08:34
apwsmb, moin08:34
apwjussi, was this the one with a moving mouse cursor ?08:35
jussiapw: no, total freeze, different machine08:35
jussiis it safe to pastebin the syslog? 08:36
apwjussi, has this problem aways existed on natty?08:36
apw(trying to work out where it might have been introduced)08:36
jussiapw: we only bought/installed the machine a few weeks ago, and it has happened several times since08:36
apwjussi, i think pastbin is ok, you could grep for your password and name before08:36
apwjussi, ok so we have no idea if its a regression08:37
apwjussi, was there anything interesting in syslog ?08:37
jussiapw: Im looking, but let me share it with you also, because Im not certain what to look for.08:38
ohsixjussi: are you running 2.6.38-10 on that?08:41
jussiohsix: no, 2.6.38-8 (x86_64)08:42
apwJun  7 10:32:05 monster kernel: [81028.414275] SysRq : Keyboard mode set to system default08:45
apwJun  7 10:32:07 monster kernel: [81029.756536] SysRq : Terminate All Tasks08:45
apwok so the machine was alive per-se08:45
apwas the logging deamons saw the sysrq keys and reported them08:45
apwso that is useful information and should be recorded in the bug08:46
jussiapw: Ill attach that syslog if you think its useful (and doesnt contain too personal stuff)08:47
apwjussi, also the fact there isn't any panic before the Sysrq08:47
jussiright, so its likely not in the kernel then.08:47
apwjussi, include like 5 lines before the SysRQ and the first couple of sysrq things08:47
apwjussi, its as likely X i'd guess08:47
apwso next time jussi could you do the sysrq-R then try to switch VTs08:48
apwand also then try Sysrq-w, to see if anything is hung08:48
apwthen perhaps Sysrq-t08:48
jussiapw: ok, sure.  Thank you for taking the time to help. 08:48
apwnow the latter will take a while likely, you should be able to see it producing disk activity i suspect as the logs are being pulled out08:49
apw(maybe leave it for 1min after then continue with the reisub)08:49
apwthen look for those in your syslog and see hwats there08:49
jussiapw: excellent. Ill note that down for next time something happens. 08:50
apwjussi, good luck08:55
jussiapw: Thanks - I think Ill need it. :D08:56
apwjussi, i've recorded that in the bug for posterity08:57
jussiapw: excellent! :D08:59
Kanohi, where are the daily builds? also 3.0-rc2 is missing09:01
apwKano, they are missing because some fool changes the version number radically and breaks every damn tool we have09:05
Kanowell that was done with rc1, no time to fix em yet?09:06
apwyes we fixed it in part last time, but not comopletely it seems09:07
ohsixhaha09:10
TommehThere was some discussion on the release announcement about the tarball being screwed, at least originally.09:12

ogasawaraapw: \o/, it works.  debs are on tangerine in my oneiric-i386 dir19:58
tgardnerogasawara, this is for an HP mini?19:59

ogasawaraapw: I'll kick off a build right now20:07
apwogasawara, good on my 32 bit machine (not the mini)20:21
apwyell when we have amd64s20:21
ogasawaraapw: should almost be finished up20:21
ogasawaraapw: it'll appear on tangerine:oneiric-amd6420:21
* jjohansen -> lunch20:23
apwogasawara, i'll watch for it20:23
ogasawaraapw: generic flavour should be there now20:26
tgardnerogasawara, how come you aren't using 3.0.0-0.1 in the oneiric changelog ? There are still 3 version digits in the Makefile20:33
apwtgardner, cause it isn't going to be called 3.0.0 but 3.0 when it releases20:34
apwtgardner, and if we use 3.0.0 we can't go back down to 3.0 which is <20:34
apwhe only put the extra .0 in the makefile cause you couldn't build it without it at the time20:35
tgardnerapw, but this is a packaging version thats only loosely related to the kernel version.20:35
apwtgardner, that is true, but we were trying to continue the current system which is to use the version before stable 20:36
tgardnerapw, and I suspect the first stable version will be 3.0.1, right?20:37
apwtgardner, yep, but we don't expose the stable version in our package version20:37
apw2.6.38.8 is still 2.6.38 in the archive20:37
tgardnerapw, right, as will 3.0.0-ABI-N20:38
tgardnerit will simplify a lot of our scripting problems if we use 3 digits.20:39
apwtgardner, we can do that, its just a change in meaning20:39
apwtgardner, though all the scirpting issues we have look to be cause we have Ubuntu-2.6 as searches and the like20:39
apwnot so much because of the length of the prefix right ?20:39
tgardnerapw, well, I was thinking about the regexes that extract ABI and the like20:40
apwthey should be using the 'before' and 'after' really20:40
apwthey should be using the 'before' and 'after' the - really20:41
tgardnerapw, perhaps, but fixing them in all places will be a PITA20:41
apwtgardner, i think that most of it is working now, that isn't using 2.6 as far as i can tell20:42
tgardnerI'm thinking about the LTS backports as we go forward.20:42
tgardnerAll of our Lucid stuff wants 3 digits. (I just don't know where yet)20:43
apwthe lts backports carries the whole changelog and debian machinary with it no?20:43
apwthe only thing which needs a little love is depmod and that is easy to fix20:43
tgardnerlikely, but its easy to avoid the 'noid by just carrying the 3rd digit. I hate inconsistencies and special  cases20:43
apwwell it feels like an inconsistancy to represent 3.0 with an extra digit and not 2.6.x20:44
apwbut i am happy to be persuaded20:45
tgardnerwell, lets see how it goes. we've got a little time before things get cast in concrete20:46
apwtgardner, as long as we start with 3.0 we can move 'up' to 3.0.0, the inverse is not possible20:46
apwogasawara, ok this looks good for me, i'll get these two uploaded together and tested, then we can upload to the archive in the morning20:48
ogasawaraapw: ack, sounds good20:48
Guest24499hi - just installed natty.  would like to try out xen - any pointers?  I last tried xen about a year ago, but heard that the 4.1 is much better21:15
Guest24499google points me to pages that require manual kernel config/make21:16
Guest24499is this the right place to ask?21:16
apwGuest24499, i am not sure that the .38 kernel has all the pieces you need to for a dom0 kernel which makes it hard to do21:19
Guest24499previous versions of ubuntu has xen-dom0 kernels - natty doesn't have it?21:19
jjohansenGuest24499: hardy was the only kernel that had all the pieces for xen-dom021:21
Guest24499ahh21:21
jjohansenthey have all had the domU pieces21:21
Guest24499I guess I was lucky when I last tried xen I hit hardy :)21:21
jjohansenthe oneiric kernel (11.10) will have the pieces for dom0 and domU21:22
Guest24499should I try 11.10 then?  is it even in beta yet or in a position to be used?21:22
jjohansenGuest24499: its because since hardy we have tried to follow upstream, where in hardy we had a special xen kernel21:22
jjohansenGuest24499: its not in beta yet, and the upstream 3.0 kernel that has all the domo pieces is at rc221:23
jjohansenand uhm isn't the most stable thing at the moment21:23
Guest24499so, would it be a good idea to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen and compile my own kernel?21:23
jjohansenat least from my experience21:23
Guest24499heh.21:23
jjohansenGuest24499: you could, or you could try the oneric kernel21:24
Guest24499man, linux has changed so much from my slackware days...21:24
jjohansenGuest24499: just don't expect all the bugs to be ironed out yet21:24
Guest24499so the oneric kernel should be ok for dom0?21:25
jjohansenGuest24499: yes it should21:27
Guest24499any pointers or URLs for a quick howto to pin a oneric kernel to natty?21:28
jjohansenI would just download and install the package21:28
jjohansendpkg -i <package-name>.deb21:28

ogasawaratgardner: using the kteam-tools buildscripts.  but a usual fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic should work too21:38
tgardnerogasawara, thats what I'm doing. hmm21:39
tgardnerogasawara, are you keeping a log of your builds? I'm thinking this might be some fallout due to the 2 digit version number. to whit: 'Missing argument in printf at debian/scripts/abi-check line 174.'21:41
ogasawaratgardner: yep, look on tangerine:oneiric-amd64/build.log21:42
ogasawaratgardner: you have apw's patches to fix up the version?21:42
tgardnerogasawara, no, I just pulled from the repo.21:43
apwtgardner, that is the bug with depmod, you need an up to date m-i-t in the chroot21:43
tgardnerapw, ah, thats it21:44
apwtgardner, tangerine in my home are some fixed ones21:44
tgardnerapw, which one ?21:45
