| apw | tkamppeter, i would expect it to be uploaded very soon though that is now in the hands of the stable team and their cycles | 07:46 |

| gentoo_drummer | anyone here? | 09:30 |
| gentoo_drummer | has anyone tried ubuntu 11.10 command line installation under vbox? i get to a blinking underscore screen forever | 09:33 |
| smb | gentoo_drummer, Have not tried vbox. But done an alternate installation under kvm and xen... | 09:35 |
| smb | gentoo_drummer, you got past the syslinux boot screen I assume? Or when does it get stuck? | 09:36 |
| gentoo_drummer | smb: i get past the ubuntu 11.10 splash screen and then it stays on the underscore forever | 09:38 |
| gentoo_drummer | 10.10 works though | 09:38 |
| gentoo_drummer | how do i do a distupgrade to oneiric? | 09:38 |
| gentoo_drummer | just put oneiric-ocelot in apt.sources and then dist-upgrade? | 09:38 |
| TeTeT | gentoo_drummer: sudo do-release-upgrade | 09:39 |
| smb | gentoo_drummer, You could try to remove the quiet and splash words from the opetions and see what happens then | 09:39 |
| TeTeT | gentoo_drummer: or, from GUI, update-manager | 09:39 |
| smb | or do as TeTeT said for updating, will take you through 11.04 though | 09:39 |
| gentoo_drummer | how can i get to verbose through grub boot screen? | 09:40 |
| smb | gentoo_drummer, When you boot from cd, there is one key for options (f6 or so but not sure), then escape and edit the line. It has "quiet splash" which when removed gives you verbose | 09:41 |
| gentoo_drummer | smb: i mean when pressing "c" to get to the grub boot screen | 09:42 |
| gentoo_drummer | is there a command to boot in verbose from there? | 09:43 |
| apw | gentoo_drummer, sadly not, you have to jump through several hoops | 09:43 |
| gentoo_drummer | gosh | 09:44 |
| apw | you have to change the =$foo bit to =text | 09:44 |
| smb | gentoo_drummer, for the kernel you want to boot its e | 09:44 |
| apw | then on the command line remove quiet and splash and add debug | 09:44 |
| smb | then edit the line there to remove the quiet and splash | 09:44 |
| smb | and then ctrl-x to boot it | 09:44 |
| Kano | apw: is rc10 building now? was tagged 6h ago? | 10:54 |
| Kano | or same problem like with daily? | 10:54 |
| apw | we only check at 9am UTC so it would have started about then if it was ready by then | 10:54 |
| Kano | well it was tagged before 9 utc | 10:55 |
| apw | then its in the build queue, looks like there was another stable release too which gets done first | 10:56 |
| Kano | ah which one? | 10:56 |
| apw | v3.0.7 | 10:56 |
| Kano | ah | 10:56 |
| Kano | with dvb fixes? | 10:56 |
| apw | if they are in mainline | 10:57 |
| Kano | you didnt add the 3 patches i showed you, did you? | 10:57 |
| apw | to the mainline builds, no, they are what they say they are, virgin unchanged mainline builds | 10:58 |
| apw | for them to have random patches on top would not make any sense for our use case | 10:58 |
| Kano | no for your o release ernel | 10:58 |
| apw | the release kernel no, it was frozen already | 10:59 |
| Kano | 3.0.7 misses em too as i see | 11:00 |
| apw | upstream stable isn't being fed very well it seems | 11:00 |
| Kano | do you intend to base a kernel on 3.0.7? | 11:01 |
| apw | yep, most likey we'll upload a 3.0.6 plus fixes shortly, and then the next cycle will have 3.0.6 | 11:02 |
| apw | 7 | 11:02 |
| Kano | why dont skip 3.0.6? | 11:02 |
| apw | cause what we have has had some time to settle and there is always a new one on the horizon | 11:03 |
| apw | not that it is my call at the end of the day, but there is little point in rushing out stuff | 11:03 |
| apw | as they normally find problems in one update and produce a fix for it | 11:04 |
| Kano | ok, any estimate for 3.0.7? | 11:04 |
| apw | a couple of weeks or so | 11:07 |
| apw | herton, hey ... has anyone formally handed over the oneiric kernel to you in stable ? | 11:08 |
| herton | apw: yep, steve talked to leann yesterday | 11:08 |
| apw | herton, ok good ... we need to keep in mind there is an lts-backport for it too which needs uploading as well | 11:09 |
| apw | herton, where are we in the cycle for stable, we likely should push the update for oneiric sooner than later as there is already a heap of stable on there | 11:10 |
| Kano | apw: whats the reason that rc kernels are not written as ~rc | 11:12 |
| herton | apw: the first oneiric update is in progress now (bug 876701), will take care of lts-backport as well | 11:12 |

| Kano | rc is always newer than first release kernel with mainline builds | 11:12 |
| apw | herton, you are a star -- thanks a lot | 11:12 |
| apw | Kano, never thought about it, the names are only meant to be unique as they are 'install, test and remove' kernels not intended for longterm use nor do we provide any updateable sources | 11:13 |
| Kano | well maybe kanotix users test more of our mainline build than yours ;) | 11:14 |
| apw | maybe, maybe | 11:14 |
| Kano | i basically like pure kernels, custom patches needed to fix something is always annoying | 11:16 |

| ogasawara | apw: I suspect we'll only have a handful of specs for UDS which need an actual meeting slot, I wonder if we should spread them out over the week rather than monopolizing a single day | 13:31 |
| apw | ogasawara, other than the version flavours discussion i suspect they can float forward | 13:32 |
| apw | i think the plan with putting them together was to allow the rest of the week for us to go to things | 13:32 |
| apw | but actually that really doesn't make any difference where they are | 13:33 |
| apw | friday afternoons is often prep for party time as well | 13:33 |
| ogasawara | apw: I'm guessing we're only going to have 4 (config, delta, version, stable), so was thinking to just schedule 1 per day | 13:34 |
| apw | can't see anything wrong with that | 13:34 |
| ogasawara | herton: I assume you or bjf will be having a stable kernel blueprint for UDS? or are you guys pretty much just turning the crank now and don't need to work out further details? | 13:35 |
| apw | i am sure there will be people wanting to input on it | 13:37 |
| herton | yes, probably will be good to have at least one session | 13:37 |
| herton | ogasawara: I'll wait bjf to show up and see with him | 13:42 |
| ogasawara | herton: ack | 13:42 |
| bjf | oh mistress of the dark, i hear you have questions | 13:48 |
| ogasawara | hehe | 13:50 |
| ogasawara | bjf: was just assuming you and herton would want to have a stable kernel session at UDS? | 13:50 |
| bjf | ogasawara: blueprint wise .. though we are just turning the crank i think we are expected to do a uds session so that people can have somewhere to whine | 13:50 |
| ogasawara | bjf: heh was assuming it would be more of a bitch session | 13:51 |
| bjf | ogasawara: we'll nod and tell everyone we will take their input seriously .. and then do what we want | 13:51 |
| smb | bjf, Will you play some annoying music as well? | 13:51 |
| bjf | ogasawara: just the usual | 13:51 |
| bjf | smb, i'll put that on the list | 13:52 |
| ogasawara | bjf: ok, I'll throw a stub blueprint together for you guys to fill in later and throw it in the schedule | 13:52 |
| smb | Cool, then we feel just as with any support line... :) | 13:52 |
| bjf | ograsawara, "state of the cadence" kind of thing | 13:52 |

| bjf | ogasawara: nice that there is a "kernel" track which we are not allowed to use :-) | 13:58 |
| bjf | i guess only linaro has kernel issues | 13:58 |
| ogasawara | bjf: you want me to assign you or bjf to this blueprint | 13:59 |

| apw | "like a grumpy old man" | 14:40 |
| * gema goes to check her contract, being QA she expect to have even more rights than bjf... | 14:40 | |
| gema | btw, bjf do you guys run any kind of static code analyser on the kernel? | 14:42 |
| bjf | hahaha ha ha HA! | 14:42 |
| gema | I will take that as a no :D | 14:42 |
| smb | not us as such, but isn't that coccinelle thing somehting like that? | 14:43 |
| apw | that more happens upstream yes, on the raw kernel | 14:43 |
| bjf | gema: actually, i do think there are static analyzers that upstream does | 14:43 |
| gema | smb, apw, bjf: but if they are run upstream, we don't benefit from then in our specific bits of the kernel, right? | 14:44 |
| bjf | gema: our kernel differences are very minor in reality | 14:45 |
| smb | no, thats why we try to keep our bits as small as possible (amongst other) | 14:45 |
| * bjf not sure he likes the implication that the kernel team has tiny bits | 14:45 | |
| gema | bjf, smb: thanks! | 14:46 |
| smb | bjf, aren't we always told size does not matter? ;-P | 14:46 |
| bjf | smb, they just tell us that to make us feel better, but they lie | 14:46 |

| jsalisbury | ogasawara, I could give that a try, but I may have to do it later since its my primary laptop | 15:50 |
| jsalisbury | ogasawara, I can also ask others affected by this to try Natty | 15:51 |

| DBO | jjohansen, so I am still running into issues with the rtl8192ce module. I found that if I do ips=0 that *seems* to fix it (hard to tell). Should I report this any further or just modify my machine and move on? | 15:52 |

| twb | I'm a bit confused; I git cloned the lucid kernel repo, copied the .config from /boot of a lucid box, did a "make deb-pkg", installed it, did a "update-initramfs -c -k xxx". The resulting ramdisk was 71MB where it should've been more like 13MB | 23:03 |
| twb | I noticed that the -Os option was off in .config, but AFAIK it was like that already; I didn't mess with it. | 23:03 |
| twb | I suppose the other likely thing I did different, was compiling on hardy | 23:06 |
| twb | Building it with -Os doesn't help; the resulting ramdisk is 68MB | 23:26 |
| twb | WTF, man. | 23:26 |
| twb | I'll try building it inside a lucid chroot (hence gcc 4.4 or so) | 23:27 |
| jjohansen | twb: did you strip it? | 23:30 |
| twb | Not explicitly, but IME make deb-pkg does that for me | 23:31 |
| twb | I'll check | 23:31 |
| twb | Ah, good catch | 23:31 |
| twb | So why didn't it strip them? Is it just that the 2.6.32 kernel predates that feature in the deb-pkg approach? | 23:36 |
