| Tm_T | Hi, how do I could debug a kernel panic, possibly caused by a scheduler | 07:37 |
|---|---|---|
| Tm_T | I have ~daily kernel panics, and I see line of "BUG: Error while scheduling atomic: <binary that was active at that time>" sort | 07:38 |
| Tm_T | this is 2.6.38-11-generic running on Intel, I suppose this CPU: http://ark.intel.com/products/41498/Intel-Celeron-Processor-900-%281M-Cache-2_20-GHz-800-MHz-FSB%29 | 07:43 |
| * apw yawns, bouncy internet this morning, not good | 07:53 | |
| Tm_T | heh, struggled 2 first hours in the office for constantly disconnecting wlan | 07:54 |
| Tm_T | s/for/with/ | 07:54 |
| jk- | hey apw | 07:54 |
| apw | morning | 07:54 |
| jk- | been keeping the rioters at bay? | 07:54 |
| apw | jk-, two nights ago they were burning dowm the shops 5 mins from my house, but its sounding quieter now | 07:55 |
| jk- | jeeeez :/ | 07:55 |
| apw | jk-, first and only time i've packed a bag in case i had to run | 07:56 |
| apw | and i lived though the constant bombing by the IRA, somehow this is more dangerous, more random | 07:56 |
| apw | but i heard nothing last night so perhaps we are past the worst | 07:59 |
| jk- | i hope so... | 08:01 |
| apw | we have had a pile of police on the streets, thats going to cost a few bob sadly | 08:13 |
| apw | "peaceful night across the country" is todays message ... phew | 08:13 |
| apw | "those who think they have got away with looting will be supprised today when the doors start to go in" like the sound of that | 08:16 |

| hggdh | sconklin: I was giving yuou advance warning. When I finish a test sequence, I write in anything interesting, including bugs. No need to tell me this should go into the tracking bug | 13:54 |
| sconklin | hggdh: ok, thanks, sorry to jump on that | 13:54 |
| sconklin | maybe I can have an answer before you are done | 13:55 |

| siji | Hi All, | 13:59 |
| siji | First want to report some bugs in ubuntu-natty kernel (for ARM) | 13:59 |
| siji | the default driver module for Touchscreen ads786 is not the right one | 14:00 |
| siji | And now am trying to build this module , but not succeeded | 14:01 |
| siji | Steps followed : Downloaded the kernel source from rep. by apt-get install linux-source | 14:02 |
| sconklin | hggdh: Any idea which test was running when this occurred? Maybe it's in the logs and I don't know where to look | 14:02 |
| siji | make modules SUBDIRS=drivers/input/touchscreen/ | 14:03 |
| khanx | hey everybody | 14:03 |
| khanx | im new to this... which languages do i need to know to customize my kernel ? | 14:04 |
| siji | English & C :) | 14:04 |
| khanx | so far so good. :P | 14:05 |
| siji | :) | 14:05 |
| khanx | im not so familiar with ubuntu though. like i said im new to linux, but im not bad with C and java | 14:06 |
| siji | Then i suggest you to familiar with linux/ubuntu first then get into Linux Kernel | 14:07 |
| khanx | and whats your advice on how to become familiar with ubuntu fast? | 14:08 |
| khanx | i feel like its gonna take ages | 14:08 |
| khanx | any e-book or online texts recommended ? | 14:09 |
| siji | not at all | 14:09 |
| siji | Download ubuntu ISO isntall it and play with it | 14:09 |
| hggdh | sconklin: at this point in time it was the LPT lite | 14:09 |
| hggdh | it really does not help that a lot of programs get to print warning/error messages without identification :-( | 14:10 |
| siji | khanx, get familiar with basic unix/linux commands | 14:11 |
| siji | this will make your " Playing with Linux" more easier | 14:12 |
| siji | any help pls | 14:14 |
| siji | Or any one can provide me ads786.ko (touchscreen module) for 2.6.38.8-omap | 14:15 |
| apw | siji, if you have ARM specific questions you may get quicker answers on #ubuntu-arm, the peeps who mostly have the h/w hang out there | 14:16 |
| siji | apw, :) | 14:16 |
| ogra_ | apw, lol | 14:16 |
| ogra_ | apw, i have no clue how to only build modules in subdirs of the kernel tree | 14:17 |
| siji | he he | 14:17 |
| ogra_ | never had to | 14:17 |
| ohsix | make M= isn't it? | 14:17 |
| ohsix | or make module.ko | 14:17 |
| siji | ohsix, means | 14:17 |
| ohsix | there's "make help" too | 14:17 |
| ogra_ | so i'm surely a bad candidate to support that :) | 14:17 |
| siji | ok | 14:18 |
| siji | (ohsix, looking into make help ) | 14:19 |
| apw | building only in a subdir, hmmm, that is in the docs somewhere something like fakeroot debian/rules prepare-<flavour>; make O=debian/build/build-<flavour> <directory name> | 14:19 |
| apw | or <directory>/<module>.ko at the end | 14:19 |
| apw | not that i ever do it, i normally just build the lot | 14:19 |
| siji | apw, ya it worked for me | 14:19 |
| siji | but it hasnt built whole kernel modules | 14:20 |
| siji | I have defined he directory name | 14:20 |
| siji | ./touchscreen which is having more than 10 driver modules, but it built only three | 14:21 |
| siji | And unfortunately my module was not there in those three ;( | 14:21 |
| apw | well it will only build the ones which are turned on in your config too | 14:22 |
| siji | Am not a expert in kernel , so i feel something wrong in the .conf or some where else | 14:22 |
| siji | apw, understood | 14:22 |
| siji | I hve tried many times by configuring it | 14:22 |
| apw | if you want foo.ko built there will be something like obj-$(CONFIG_FOO): foo.ko in the Makefile, which tells you the CONFIG to look for in your .config | 14:22 |
| siji | apw, ok | 14:23 |
| siji | let me have a look into it | 14:23 |
| ogra_ | apw, well, the initial issue that drove siji to try the recompile was that the module shipped in the package breaqks with undefined symbols on loading | 14:23 |
| ogra_ | apw, which i find extremely weird for a module built in the same package | 14:24 |
| siji | ogra_, apw , then by building the kernel from the same source(ubuntu repository) again will make any sense for me ? | 14:25 |
| apw | ogra_, odd indeed but not impossible i think | 14:25 |
| apw | if the dependancies in the Kconfig are broken | 14:25 |
| siji | apw, broken locally in my setup only ? | 14:27 |
| bjf | the kteam-bugs is 831M | 14:27 |
| bjf | -EWRONGCHAN | 14:27 |
| apw | siji, likely generally if they don't work with the ones in the archive | 14:28 |
| apw | is there a bug or error messge i can look at | 14:28 |
| siji | apw, ok | 14:28 |
| siji | the bug is with ads7846 driver module (Touchscreen - used TSC2046 in the Expansion board,and it connect with DM3730 by SPI port) | 14:29 |
| siji | ogra_, sorry hasnt got time to report the bug report . apologise .. | 14:30 |
| ogra_ | dont apologize, file it instead :P | 14:31 |
| siji | :) | 14:32 |

| smb | apw, He is here though I need to ask | 15:32 |
| jjohansen | apw: oh? that is possible | 15:32 |
| apw | jjohansen, and i am wondering if you are doing backports for lucid and hardy or not | 15:33 |

| cjwatson | does anyone here who is (a) in ubuntu-core-dev and (b) not in techboard or ubuntu-release have a bug task they'd like to nominate for a stable release? | 16:33 |
| cjwatson | right now you can just do it; I want to make a change to the stable release ownership in LP and would like to make sure that doing so does not break it this | 16:33 |
| cjwatson | but I can't test it myself since I'm overprivileged | 16:34 |
| apw | tgardner, ^^ is the only one i think who fits that criteria | 16:34 |
| tgardner | cjwatson, hmm, that might be me. | 16:34 |
| cjwatson | if you have a suitable task to nominate, then yeah, you have the level of privileges I'm looking for | 16:35 |
| apw | tgardner, you can safely nominate any of our cves to like karmic and the tools will slam them invalid later | 16:35 |
| tgardner | cjwatson, are you wanting to mess with our ability to make nominations? its already difficult in that very few of us _can_ do it. | 16:36 |
| apw | s/cves/cve bugs/ | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | tgardner: I want to make sure I'm *not* messing with your ability to do so | 16:36 |
| tgardner | cjwatson, ah | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | actually, here | 16:36 |
| cjwatson | tgardner: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/752694 - can you see an "approve/decline" thing there? (don't click it yet) | 16:36 |

| apw | tgardner, http://people.canonical.com/~kernel/reports/kernel-cves.html any of those bugs can be safely nominated to anything, and we'll cope | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | tgardner: OK, reload - can you still see it, and if you hit approve, does it work? | 16:37 |
| cjwatson | (I've just changed natty's owner from ubuntu-core-dev to ubuntu-release) | 16:38 |
| tgardner | cjwatson, it appears to have worked | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | excellent, thanks! | 16:38 |
| cjwatson | I'll go and change the other stable releases now then. Please let me know if you notice regressions in your ability to nominate things | 16:39 |
| tgardner | cjwatson, will do. | 16:39 |
| tgardner | apw, since FF approaches, perhaps its time to get an empty oneiric LBM package in the archive before it gets difficult. | 16:40 |
| apw | i think ff offically is in 15 mins, but lbm has always been treated at part of the kernel | 16:42 |
| apw | but yes i think its time | 16:43 |

| apw | tgardner, ack | 16:52 |
| tgardner | apw, I'm pretty ruthless about keeping my inbox down to just a couple of emails by EOD | 16:53 |
| apw | yep and working on a similar scheme but it needs for my filtering to be sane and work, which has been the big battle | 16:54 |
| apw | i think i have just about won | 16:54 |
| * tgardner likes procmail | 16:54 | |
| tgardner | ogasawara, does '(drop after 3.0)' make sense for a clean cherry-pick ? | 16:59 |
| apw | they should drop themselves on rebase anyhow | 16:59 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: sorta unneeded I guess as apw says they'll drop anyways | 17:00 |
| tgardner | apw, ogasawara: you mean for the P series kernel, or for the once more that might happen for oneiric ? | 17:00 |
| apw | (for P i am assuming) | 17:01 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: they should drop for P, possibly for O if they hit stable and I rebase | 17:01 |
| tgardner | ok, I'm just being OCD | 17:01 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: I assume you're referring to ike's patches | 17:01 |
| tgardner | ogasawara, yep | 17:02 |
| ogasawara | tgardner: if it makes you feel better, I'm indifferent so if you want to fix up and push over the top, feel free :) | 17:03 |
