| c_smith | morning, nathwill | 16:27 |
| * c_smith will brb, needs to restart his desktop for some updates | 16:27 | |
| nathwill | :) | 16:27 |
| c_smith | back, took longer than it should have since I decided to do some testing on the RAM I bought, memtest told me there were some error. | 16:59 |
| c_smith | *errors | 16:59 |
| nathwill | interesting | 17:11 |
| c_smith | not sure which stick would have the errors, as I saw no indication to that. or whether it's the connection. | 17:25 |
| c_smith | and joy, I deleted my Documents folder...... | 17:25 |
| nathwill | well, you can pull them sequentially and re-run memtest... | 17:25 |
| nathwill | hrm | 17:25 |
| c_smith | true. I still have my Laptop operable, | 17:26 |
| c_smith | the documents folder was deleted on my laptop | 17:26 |
| c_smith | need to pay more attention to what I delete. | 17:26 |
| c_smith | worth a try. I'll try sequentially testing one stick. | 17:27 |
| c_smith | at a time that is. | 17:27 |
| c_smith | ok, running Memtest on the first stick. | 17:36 |
| c_smith | think for this I can spare my mouse and use it for my laptop | 17:36 |
| bkerensa | such a busy week | 17:51 |
| bkerensa | DocFreeze is Thursday and were no where close to done so were requesting a exception from the release team which is also pushing the translations behind schedule | 17:52 |
| c_smith | sounds busy. I'd offer to help if I wasn't preoccupied with other stuff and I knew what to do there. | 17:58 |
| c_smith | so, after testing 2 of my RAM sticks, no errors, testing the third, which is at 77% complete total, there are no errors, I'm guessing that it might have been that 2 of them weren't in all the way (my doing) so if this stick proves to have no errors, I'm going to insert all 3 again and run Memtest86 then, after making sure all 3 are in correctly. | 18:50 |
| nathwill | good times | 19:00 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: I sent out a e-mail regarding the LoCo Council's update approval guidelines if you have any feedback | 20:07 |
| nathwill | k, i'll check it out | 20:12 |
| nathwill | thanks bkerensa | 20:12 |
| bkerensa | nathwill: finn should be here soon :D | 20:20 |
| bkerensa | sending him back to Washington with some Ubuntu swag and other stuff so he can go convert the Microsoft folks | 20:21 |
| nathwill | hehe | 20:24 |
| c_smith | yay for kernel problems........ | 20:52 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: what kernel problems? | 21:21 |
| c_smith | my desktop, after a few minutes of being booted up, has either a kernel panic, or dumps what looks to be a kernel crash dump to my screen. | 21:24 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Have you reported this? | 21:26 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: Have you reported this? | 21:26 |
| c_smith | I'm currently trying to figure out if this is due to the 3 1GB RAM sticks, or the kernel itself. | 21:27 |
| c_smith | like I was going to say, it only started doing this when I looked in the tower after having issues with them, and found they hadn't been inserted all the way, and I fixed that. | 21:28 |
| c_smith | my laptop is unaffected. | 21:29 |
| c_smith | but even if this was a bug, I couldn't get the new fix into my desktop, as it doesn't last long enough to get a new kernel version onto it. | 21:30 |
| c_smith | or any update, for that matter. atm, all it's good for is a really expensive RAM tester. | 21:30 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: have you tried installing from the alternate iso? | 21:57 |
| bkerensa | are you sure your using the right iso for your hardware? | 21:57 |
| sbeattie | c_smith: also, what release are you trying this with? | 22:11 |
| c_smith | yaaaay | 22:27 |
| c_smith | my laptop no long gives me kernel problems! :D | 22:27 |
| c_smith | *desktop, not laptop | 22:27 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, care to hear how I fixed it? | 22:27 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: sure | 22:27 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, I simply removed one stick of RAM, seems the kernel doesn't like 3 slots being taken up. | 22:28 |
| c_smith | and that's the amount of slots total. | 22:28 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: What architecture are you using? | 22:28 |
| c_smith | strange, but that's how it goes I guess. | 22:28 |
| bkerensa | are you certain one stick was not bad? | 22:28 |
| c_smith | i386, x86, i686, however you want to label the arch | 22:29 |
| bkerensa | are you certain the extra slot was not defective? | 22:29 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: what capacity was the total ram if you had all sticks in? | 22:29 |
| c_smith | and I'm sure the stick is good, not sure about the slot, but memtest86 gave me no errors on the ram. | 22:29 |
| c_smith | the max is what i had, 3 GB. | 22:29 |
| c_smith | for memtest86. I ran all 9 tests once on each stick individually, then again with all 3 put in. | 22:30 |
| c_smith | no errors both times. | 22:30 |
| c_smith | *both ways | 22:30 |
| c_smith | I might consult with someone to see what might have happened. though. | 22:31 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, for the kernel probs, I can tell you that it had khelper. and similarly named mentions in it. | 22:32 |
| c_smith | well. I'm gonna leave this running to see if anything else pops up. | 22:32 |
| bkerensa | c_smith: you might consult #ubuntu-kernel | 22:34 |
| c_smith | bkerensa, thanks | 22:59 |
| nathwill | pae kernel? | 23:18 |
