[14:19] morning early birds! [16:27] morning, nathwill [16:27] * c_smith will brb, needs to restart his desktop for some updates [16:27] :) [16:59] 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] *errors [17:11] interesting [17:25] not sure which stick would have the errors, as I saw no indication to that. or whether it's the connection. [17:25] and joy, I deleted my Documents folder...... [17:25] well, you can pull them sequentially and re-run memtest... [17:25] hrm [17:26] true. I still have my Laptop operable, [17:26] the documents folder was deleted on my laptop [17:26] need to pay more attention to what I delete. [17:27] worth a try. I'll try sequentially testing one stick. [17:27] at a time that is. [17:36] ok, running Memtest on the first stick. [17:36] think for this I can spare my mouse and use it for my laptop [17:51] such a busy week [17:52] 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 [17:58] sounds busy. I'd offer to help if I wasn't preoccupied with other stuff and I knew what to do there. [18:50] 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. [19:00] good times [20:07] nathwill: I sent out a e-mail regarding the LoCo Council's update approval guidelines if you have any feedback [20:12] k, i'll check it out [20:12] thanks bkerensa [20:20] nathwill: finn should be here soon :D [20:21] sending him back to Washington with some Ubuntu swag and other stuff so he can go convert the Microsoft folks [20:24] hehe [20:52] yay for kernel problems........ [21:21] c_smith: what kernel problems? [21:24] 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. [21:26] c_smith: Have you reported this? [21:26] c_smith: Have you reported this? [21:27] I'm currently trying to figure out if this is due to the 3 1GB RAM sticks, or the kernel itself. [21:28] 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. [21:29] my laptop is unaffected. [21:30] 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] or any update, for that matter. atm, all it's good for is a really expensive RAM tester. [21:57] c_smith: have you tried installing from the alternate iso? [21:57] are you sure your using the right iso for your hardware? [22:11] c_smith: also, what release are you trying this with? [22:27] yaaaay [22:27] my laptop no long gives me kernel problems! :D [22:27] *desktop, not laptop [22:27] bkerensa, care to hear how I fixed it? [22:27] c_smith: sure [22:28] bkerensa, I simply removed one stick of RAM, seems the kernel doesn't like 3 slots being taken up. [22:28] and that's the amount of slots total. [22:28] c_smith: What architecture are you using? [22:28] strange, but that's how it goes I guess. [22:28] are you certain one stick was not bad? [22:29] i386, x86, i686, however you want to label the arch [22:29] are you certain the extra slot was not defective? [22:29] c_smith: what capacity was the total ram if you had all sticks in? [22:29] and I'm sure the stick is good, not sure about the slot, but memtest86 gave me no errors on the ram. [22:29] the max is what i had, 3 GB. [22:30] for memtest86. I ran all 9 tests once on each stick individually, then again with all 3 put in. [22:30] no errors both times. [22:30] *both ways [22:31] I might consult with someone to see what might have happened. though. [22:32] bkerensa, for the kernel probs, I can tell you that it had khelper. and similarly named mentions in it. [22:32] well. I'm gonna leave this running to see if anything else pops up. [22:34] c_smith: you might consult #ubuntu-kernel [22:59] bkerensa, thanks [23:18] pae kernel?
