[07:49]  * apw looks about
[07:49] <RAOF> And sees before him a barren wasteland of SandyBridge
[07:50] <apw> ohhh, that sounds worse than moordor, back to bed me thinks with some cocoa
[07:51] <RAOF> Actually, it's quite pleasant with a fully up-to-date oneiric stack.
[07:52] <RAOF> This laptop now has a MTBF greater than 5 minutes.
[07:52] <apw> heh, that sounds like an improvement
[07:52]  * _ruben wonders who came up with the name Sandy Bridge for just a chunk of silicon... ;)
[07:53] <apw> though this week is post A3 and pre-FF so oneiric should degerate into an uninstallable disaster
[07:53] <RAOF> In fact, it's become so well behaved that it's been rewarded with 8GB of ram and an SSD.
[07:54] <apw> fatal, it will start to think you like it and start missbehaving
[07:55] <RAOF> Well, it always did before.
[07:55] <RAOF> Now, it seems to have settled down and gone many days without a GPU hang.
[07:55] <RAOF> I claim the pacifying influence of mesa 7.11
[07:55] <apw> imaginary at best i am sure
[08:13] <lag> apw: How many people do you have doing ARM now?
[08:13] <apw> full time, one
[08:13] <lag> apw: And he's off today?
[08:13] <apw> he indeed has vacation yes
[08:13] <apw> cirtinly only one really with h/w
[08:13] <apw> but then we known when our deadlines are
[08:14] <lag> apw: Do you know if anyone else has a BB XM?
[08:14] <lag> cooloney: Do you still have a BB XM?
[08:50] <cooloney> lag: oh, no
[08:50] <cooloney> lag: i sent them to ppetraki 
[08:52] <lag> THEM
[08:52] <lag> How many does he have now?
[08:52] <lag> And he's off this week
[08:52] <lag> Doh!
[09:07] <apw> he likely means all his boards :)  rather than having lots of one type
[12:09] <pgraner> apw, info on drives
[12:09] <pgraner> Model: ATA WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0
[12:09] <pgraner> Firmware Version: 51.0AB15
[12:14] <apw> smb`, do you remember some discussion about disks and sata link resetting last weke, likely on this channel
[12:49] <apw> smb`, ignore, found it
[12:49] <apw> pgraner, so there are several WDC models which are quirked under "NCQ is slow"
[12:50] <pgraner> apw, no surprise there
[12:50] <apw> pgraner, could you file a bug pls, and i'll get you a test kernel with ATA_HORKAGE_NONCQ turned on
[12:51] <pgraner> apw, ack doing it now
[12:51] <pgraner> apw, you want it against natty or one-eyed-rick
[13:29] <apw> pgraner, do -rick- and i can widen it back
[13:29] <pgraner> apw, ack
[14:29]  * ogasawara back in 20
[14:31] <smb> apw, ACK to ignore. Just came in. :)
[14:48] <tgardner> bjf, ogasawara: quick mumble ?
[14:52] <ogasawara> tgardner: sure
[15:01] <txomon> hello
[15:01] <txomon> is here someone that can help me with this bug?
[15:02] <txomon> !bug 485067
[15:02] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 485067 in linux "wireless card malfunction" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/485067
[15:10] <sforshee> txomon, does 'rfkill list' show any blocks applied to your device?
[15:32] <txomon> hello¡'
[15:32] <txomon> sforshee, how?
[15:33] <txomon> uops, i took another bug
[15:34] <sforshee> txomon, open a terminal and run 'rfkill list', then see if any of the items say yes next to them
[15:35] <txomon> im going to switch on that computer
[16:10] <txomon> sforshee, there are a pair of blocks
[16:11] <txomon> one in 
[16:11] <txomon> phy0 wireless lan
[16:11] <txomon> and in hp-wifi wireless lan
[16:11] <txomon> bot of them soft blocked
[16:11] <sforshee> try running 'rfkill unblock all'
[16:12] <txomon> it works
[16:12] <txomon> what was the problem?
[16:13] <txomon> sforshee?
[16:13] <txomon> and why it was blocked?¿
[16:13] <sforshee> txomon, probably the hp-wmi driver thinks the bios is telling it there's a soft block applied
[16:13] <sforshee> if you reboot do the blocks come back?
[16:14] <txomon> and can it be caused by blocking it on windows?
[16:14] <sforshee> txomon, possibly
[16:15] <txomon> in windows also happens something strange, it for default, wireless is disabled
[16:15] <sforshee> txomon, if you have a wireless hotkey pressing it should remove the soft block, if everything is working properly
[16:15] <txomon> sforshee, is again blocked
[16:16] <sforshee> txomon, that may just be the default state for your machine if windows shows the same symptom
[16:16] <txomon> no
[16:16] <txomon> the button makes a hard block in the hp-wifi
[16:16] <txomon> but the soft blocks are always there
[16:17] <txomon> now has appeared a hard block in phy0..
[16:17] <sforshee> txomon, okay then, when I get a chance I'll look at the driver and post something on the bug
[16:18] <txomon> ok, the phy0 is now the only one blocked after doing the unblock, with a hard block
[16:20] <txomon> i have another bug with another computer
[16:20] <txomon> in which the 3G modem doesn't work unless i reboot from windows to linux
[16:21] <sforshee> txomon, have you filed a bug?
[16:21] <txomon> yep

[16:26] <dupondje> thx for the work also btw!
[16:27] <dupondje> seems I can do that myself :) nvm
[16:35] <txomon> sforshee, what do you think about that? it seems like the modem is not correctly initialized in ubuntu
[16:36] <sforshee> txomon, I added a comment, please check the bug
[16:37] <apw> pgraner, did we get a bug for that disk thingy
[16:38] <pgraner> apw, not yet, damn mgt crap is overtaking me today... I'll get it to you in a bit
[16:39] <pgraner> apw, the hold up is I have to me the array to the oneiric box, its currently on my natty one
[16:39] <apw> pgraner, file it there, it doesn't make a lot of odd
[16:39] <apw> odds
[16:40] <pgraner> apw, K doing it now
[16:41] <txomon> im going to check it
[16:41] <sforshee> dupondje: np, note that we've only applied the fix to oneiric, I don't think the issue warrants an SRU

[16:49] <txomon> sforshee, it worked
[16:53] <txomon> but im unable to enter in launchpad...
[16:53] <txomon> now i can... there was an error or sth
[16:53] <pgraner> apw, you need anything else in that bug?
[16:54] <pgraner> manjo, ping
[16:54] <NCommander> has anyone seen ppisati? I have an OMAp4 kernel bug that I need smacked
[16:54] <NCommander> (config issue)
[16:54] <txomon> sforshee, and I have another bug in the same computer, when I plug an ethernet wire, connected to something, the computer crashes
[16:55] <pgraner> NCommander, holiday this week
[16:55] <tgardner> NCommander, send it to me and Cc kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com
[16:55] <NCommander> pgraner: who's covering omap4 bugs?
[16:55] <NCommander> pgraner: will do, thanks.
[16:59] <apw>  pgraner no that works for now
[17:02] <txomon> can anyone put this !bug 709955 as fixed?

[17:04] <manjo> pgraner, pong ... sorry was having lunch 
[17:05] <txomon> ill come back later
[17:07] <apw> txomon, if you have to hand get the firmware from windows to sort it, its actually not fixed in linux, just worked round
[17:07] <txomon> oki
[17:22] <apw> pgraner, http://people.canonical.com/~apw/lp822796-natty/
[17:25] <apw> pgraner, if those work, it would be good to have some performance numbers on the broken kernel for NCQ 1, 8, 16 or something to support upstreaming
[17:25] <apw> you have these already i suspect
[17:25] <pgraner> apw, sure I'll do dd timing tests on all of them
[17:51]  * tgardner --> lunch
[18:24]  * bjf -> lunch
