hrwis ubuntu kernel tree git bisectable?07:55
hrwcause with 3.0.0-10 my router fans are on 4500rpm instead of <2000rpm like it was on 3.0-107:56
diwichrw, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection - or flirt with apw to make test kernels for you ;-)08:06
jjohansenhrw: yes and no08:08
hrwwill read08:08
jjohansenhrw: it is bisectable from the import point forward, otherwise you need to bisect against upstream with the ubuntu patches thrown on top08:08
hrwjjohansen: in other words: ubuntu kernel tree is rebased often?08:09
smbDuring development: yes08:10
jjohansenhrw: yes its rebased up until the kernel freeze (5 days ago)08:10
hrwok, will stay then with 3.1.0-rc6 self built instead probably08:12
hrwor will bisect upstream clean kernel08:13
smbNot, sure, are there probably 3.0.x mainline builds as well to compare against?08:14
hrwI am fine with bisecting on my own08:16
smbSure, I find them still useful for narrowing the range for bisection quickly08:19
hrwright - http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ exists ;D08:23

hrw3.0.4 mainline == 1917rpm fan. 3.0.4 ubuntu = 4500 rpm09:21
apwhrw, an interesting result indeed09:22
hrwd510mo board (atom d510)09:22
apwhrw and is there any cpu load when running ubuntu kernel?09:23
hrwapw: load <1.009:23
apwcomparible to mainline ?09:23
hrwapw: same load - routing packets + irssi session09:24
apwand the reported load is comparible09:24
hrwyes09:24
apwclearly the machine is doing more, else it wouldn't be so very hot09:24
hrwit had 4500rpm 23°C09:24
apwas we can assume the environmental load is the same09:24
hrwnow it has 2000rpm 46°C which is also fine09:24
apwi'd be interested in comparing powertop output on both09:26
apwlooking at wakeups and also looking at c-state residency and frequency state residency09:26
hrw1.13/oneiric will be fine?09:27
apwif there is nothing obvious then a bisect through the the ubuntu delta will be the next logical step09:27
apw1.13 has most of what you want yes09:27
smbD510 has no power management afaik but the wakeups per second might be interesting09:28
hrwWakeups-from-idle per second : 191,1    interval: 15,0s09:29
hrwTop causes for wakeups: 31,0% (204,1)   [ath9k] <interrupt>09:29
hrwthis is router/accesspoint09:29
apwits is the comparison from one to the other that is interesting so collect them all on both09:30
smbhows that comparing between mainline and the ubuntu kernel09:30
hrwI will reboot to ubuntu and collect 'powertop -d' output09:30

hrw3.0.0-11-server and also 1757rpm 49°C09:47
hrwhttp://krzys.juszkiewicz.com.pl/~hrw/powertop/ has powertop dumps09:48
apwhrw, so which kernel was bad ?09:59
hrw3.0.0-8 probably10:03
hrwif you have it somewhere (amd64 -server) then I can check10:03
apwhrw if its working fine and in line with mainline in the -11 kernel then i think we are all happy10:05
apwhrw, though 3.0.0-8.11 was based on 3.0.1 mainline not 3.0.4 ?10:06
apwhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/linux/3.0.0-8.1110:10
apwhrw, you can get old binaries from the launchpad librarian for example as above10:10

apwsmb, do any of your machines have real serial ports on them ?14:22
smbapw, sure14:22
apwsmb, that you use as consoles ?14:23
smbapw, not directly. I may do. but normally use sol14:23
apwsmb, sol appears as a serial console to the kernel anyhow doesn't it ?14:24
smbapw, correct. on the server its just a serial port14:24
smbto linux14:25
smbapw, So as long as it is not the real hw part of the cable connection my server is already using the serial console for boot14:27

tgardnerapw, kernel.org is resolving again. maybe some of the git repos will begin to reappear15:02
apwtgardner, looks the same to me, all 'down for maint' and git.k.o is non-existant15:03
tgardnerapw, uh, yep. was just coming to the same conclusion15:03
BenCtgardner: Does oneiric's udev require a minimum kernel level?15:21
tgardnerBenC, not to my knowledge, though I've been more concerned with backporting recent kernels to Lucid.15:21
BenCudevd[1162]: unable to receive ctrl connection: Function not implemented15:22
BenCI get flooded with that if I run oneiric's udev on a 2.6.34 kernel, but backing udev down to natty's version makes it all happy15:22
tgardnerBenC, hmm, I haven't the faintest idea. 15:23
BenCOk, thanks15:23
BenCtgardner:   - Some architectures might need a later kernel, that supports accept4(), or need to backport the accept4() syscall wiring in the kernel.15:29
BenCtgardner: usage of accept4() is the cause15:29
BenCjust in case you ever hear about it again15:30
tgardnerBenC, ok. the only arches that I care about for LTS backports (so far) are x86'en15:30
BenCI wasn't suggesting you backport anything, just trying to track it down :)15:31
tgardnerBenC, understood.15:31

smbbjf, You may already know (I wasn't around last week) but the meeting-bot now seems to want the name of the meeting as an argument to startmeeting16:50
bjfsmb, the bot can screw itself16:58
smbbjf, Won't mind. Just thought I relate to you how the other meeting succeded in convincing it to do something16:59

bjf## Meeting starting now16:59

smbHm, seems to work as good without. Only difference is that the topic is screwed more or less. *shrug*17:02
hertonppisati: can you rebase git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ppisati/ubuntu-maverick.git ti-omap4? it got two more patches today, doesn't pull clean17:07
ppisatiherton: ok, i'll do17:10
tgardnerapw, we're using overlayfs for oneiric live CDs now, right ?17:14
ppisatiherton: don17:16
ppisatie17:16
apwtgardner, yes17:16

gnomefreaksince *xorg.conf no longer exists how to i drop back to default ati drivers? removeing fglrx doesnt help19:14
gnomefreaki was told kernel takes over and sets drivers since that file no longer exists19:15
apwgnomefreak, that is normally the plan, check for radeon being blacklisted in /etc/modprobe.d19:18
apwthough are you sure there isn't an xorg.conf selecting fgrlx when installed, i thought there was19:18
gnomefreakapw: i cant find it in /etc/X1119:19
apwgnomefreak, worth asking on #ubuntu-x, they should know19:20
gnomefreakthere is a fglrx.conf in /etc/modeprobe.d19:21
chrisccoulsonis it normal for modprobe to take this long on startup - https://launchpadlibrarian.net/80443468/farnsworth-oneiric-20110920-9.png?19:22
