[09:49] <mthaddon> howdy folks, I'm seeing some issues on a Thinkpad X220 (64 bit) with oneiric - occasional hangs and seeing "general protection fault" in dmesg as well as what looks like stack traces. I *think* I have a sandybridge processor, but not sure how I confirm, and what my options are if that's the case
[09:58] <jjohansen> mthaddon: file a bug, using ubuntu-bug linux
[09:58] <jjohansen> it will collect you information
[09:58] <mthaddon> ok, thx
[10:07] <mthaddon> filed bug#856257
[10:46] <cking> apw, for bug 851141 you enabled the MTRR sanitizer by default - have we seen any negative issues from enabling this?  If not, should we consider enabling it for earlier releases as a SRU at some point?
[11:22] <apw> bug #851141
[11:23] <cking> somebody poke the bot
[11:25] <apw> ubot2, OI
[11:25] <ubot2> Factoid 'OI' not found
[11:25] <apw> ubot2, bug #851141
[11:26] <cking> its gone bug unaware
[11:26] <apw> cking, no your bug is private
[11:32] <apw> 2. install all updates (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade)
[11:33] <apw> cking, this here really should be a dist-upgrade else you don't get the new packages you need installed

[12:47] <smb> Luckily internet _still_ works... :-P
[13:37] <apw> tgardner, you pulled wireless-crda into ubuntu didn't you ?  there seems to be two packages for it now, see discussion on #ubuntu-devel
[13:38] <tgardner> apwsynced from upstream ?
[13:38] <tgardner> apw ^
[13:38] <tgardner> or debian
[13:38] <apw> tgardner, i'd guess debian, package is call crda and we have wireless-crda as well
[13:39] <tgardner> apw, lemme check it out. maybe we can drop wireless-crda
[13:41] <apw> tgardner, version numbers wise we seem to have a much never version -- maybe
[13:41] <tgardner> apw, it hasn't been updated since April
[13:42] <apw> tgardner, ours of theirs
[13:42] <tgardner> apw, theirs
[13:42] <apw> i'd guess teh DB needs updating more often than that
[13:42] <apw> though of course it just may not have been sync'd
[13:45] <apw> tgardner, seems that version is the latest in debian, so they are not very active with it
[13:45] <apw> tgardner, we didn't need it until lucid or later right ?  so perhaps they arn't really using it yet
[13:46] <tgardner> apw, I'm wondering why we synced it without an explicit request.
[13:46] <apw> tgardner, ahh it seems the regdb is in a separate package, which is in sync
[13:46] <tgardner> apw, yes
[13:46] <apw> so the combination may be as good as what we have
[13:46] <apw> tgardner, yeah i suspect we autosync all of universe without intervention
[13:47] <tgardner> apw, the issue when I packaged it for Lucid was that many of the build tools were not in main
[13:47] <apw> the suggestion is that our package only varies slightly from the combination of those two.  something to consider merging i suspect
[13:49] <tgardner> apw, functionally there should be no difference.
[13:50] <apw> so perhaps we literally just want to flip the dependancy over
[13:50]  * apw leaves it with tgardner :)
[13:54] <realubot> I want to install kernel 2.6.39 in Ubuntu 11.04 but the kernel doesn't seem to be in the kernel PPA?
[13:54] <realubot> How do I install the kernel without having to install it from a deb file?
[13:55] <realubot> Kernel 2.6.39 is "missing" in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa
[13:55] <realubot> Why?
[13:55] <apw> that PPA never was the vehicle for those kinds of builds ?
[13:55] <apw> that PPA is a staging ground for test builds and experiemental packages
[13:56] <realubot> Ok.
[13:56] <apw> why do you want 2.6.39 in the first place?  thats an odd version to want
[13:57] <realubot> apw: Well. There is a bug in the 2.6.38 version så I thought it would be a great idea to upgrade just one step where I have red the bug shall be solved.
[13:57] <realubot> *so
[13:58] <tgardner> apw, bug #856421 deferred until P series

[13:59] <realubot> "Thanks for confirming that kernel 2.6.39 fixes the issue."
[13:59] <tgardner> realubot, use compat-wireless from linux-backports-modules
[13:59] <apw> what he said
[14:09] <apw> realubot, you are on natty right ... so to get the 2.6.39 wireless you'd want linux-backports-modules-cw-2.6.39-natty-generic
[14:11]  * ogasawara back in 20
[14:15] <realubot> apw: So the bug I linked will be solved using the linux-backports-modules-cw-2.6.39-natty-generic
[14:20] <apw> realubot, it is highly likely that if a .39 kernel would solve your issue, and it is a wireless issue, then the backports there are likely to carry the same fix.  testing those before moving to unsupported packages is a good idea
[14:23] <realubot> apw: Ok, thank you for all help. I'll try it out and see if that solves my wifi problem. Thanks!

[22:48] <philipballew>  whats a good way to blacklist a wifi driver from the kernel
[23:47] <bryceh> philipballew, /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
