wrostekIm trying to make a kernel bisect, but my compile is failing, and not outputting an error.. can someone tell me where the error is occurring? http://pastebin.com/Ms19YxMm02:01
wrostekwhoops i found it ndiswrapper way at the top02:05
wrostek2Im trying to bisect a problem with my rt2x00 wireless drivers. In 3.0.0-16-generic oneiric it works, but in 3.1.0-1-generic precise it does not.   How do I get a git pull of changes between those kernels? they are on two separate repositories no?  git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git and git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-oneiric.git04:06

ohsixyou can add the other one as a remote head04:07
ohsixdunno how bisect will work with that, but they're like any other label afaik04:07
wrostek2thanks04:08
pkhi'm running a machine on 12.04 and the last few kernel updates have failed to find my network driver. i'm wondering what I should do wrt to reporting that.05:02
ohsixis it an rt2x00 driver device?05:03
ohsixthere are a lot of people that have been talking about network drivers disappearing and stuff, if not the changelog for the kernel; there should be other people asking in bug reports05:04
pkhk, will keep searching launchpad -- and add what info I can find there.05:07
wrostekI have precise beta2 installed, can I run a 2.6 kernel?07:14
wrostekThe first commit in the git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git is for a 2.6.0-r2 kernel, can I compile this and run it on my precise machine?07:19
wrostekI Have to bisect test my r2x00 wireless drivers, they worked in oneiric, but not in precise.  I have the git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git cloned, and tried to checkout from the very first commit ( to see if the earliest version in precise works ) but that version gives debian/rules: No such file or directory07:25
wrostekIs there a trick to finding which commit in precise begins, and oneiric ends?07:26
wrostekPrecise git doesn't start where oneiric ends does it?07:26
ohsixhave you looked at git log from precise for the files related to your driver?07:26
wrostekyes07:26
ohsixwhen you say it doesn't work; how do you mean07:27
wrostekand I tried compiling at points where those happened, but the problem still persists… It works in oneiric 3.0.0-18-generic07:28
ohsixdescribe "doesn't work" with the precise kernel07:29
wrostekThe wifi driver will work, but if I go to speediest and check the speed, it will get half way through the test, then stall….  I have to restart my network to get it running again07:29
ohsixok07:29
wrosteksorry speediest ( speediest.net )07:29
wrostekspeedtest.net07:30
ohsixyou may find it easier to bisect linux-wireless07:30
ohsixdid you ask anyone if they knew about this problem already?07:30
wrostekin oneiric it works fine, precise is broken..   So I checked out precise, I thought precise would start at a version where oneiric ends07:30
wrostekYes, they hadn't, and I created a bug in ubuntu https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CD4QFjAD&url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.launchpad.net%2Fbugs%2F965043&ei=2rJ2T5y0D8ehgwer3dnTDg&usg=AFQjCNFHRs4kuBd6E1IcL1Enbb14B6r_vw&sig2=BDeONK-wyDkWkskMTANcgg&cad=rja07:31

ubot2Launchpad bug 965043 in linux "rt2x00 random stalls in AP Mode - 12.04 Beta 1" [Medium,Confirmed]07:32
wrostekThey asked me to bisect it, Im trying to find a good point in precise ( where the drivers work ) but so far nothing07:32
wrostekI wanted to checkout precise to the very first commit in that repository, but that is a 2.6 kernel.. weird, I thought it would be like 3.0.18, ( like where oneiric ended )07:34
ohsixwell they're both copies of the same repo, with some stuff on top07:34
wrostekSo, in precise , should I be able to find 3.0.18 kernel?07:35
wrostekBecause I couldnt07:35
ohsixthere's no tag for it?07:35
wrostekI greped for Ubuntu ( as in Ubuntu-3.0.18 )07:35
wrostekno, they only have two tags07:35
wrostekOh, sorry more than two, but they start at Ubuntu-3.1.0-1.0 ( and I built that one and it didn't work, same problem )07:36
wrostekHow can I find the changes between oneiric ( 3.0.18 ) and precise ( 3.1.0-1.0 ) ?07:37
ohsixget the commit hash for 3.0.18 in oneiric and use it as "good" in the precise tree, i dunno how to find the closest common commit but there are lots of common commits07:38
tdmackeywrostek: there are plenty of ubuntu tags in precise07:39
tdmackeymaybe you didn't pull all the tags down07:39
wrostekgit log master -g --grep=Ubuntu-07:39
wrostekthat didn't pull them down?07:40
tdmackeythat doesn't pull down anything07:40
wrostek( sorry I'm kind of new at this )07:40
tdmackeygit tag -a will list all the tags07:40
tdmackeyor just git tag rather07:40
wrostekoh cool,07:41
tdmackeythen you can to a git checkout <tagname>07:41
tdmackeyand build from there07:41
wrostekok thanks07:41
tdmackeyI wouldn't start at the first tag, I'd start at the last known good tag.07:41
wrosteki will try this07:41
tdmackeyunless you've never run precise before, then you're out of luck I guess.07:42
wrostekI think it is v3.0-rc7 ( i think thats the last oneiric )07:42
wrostekthanks tdmackey07:42
tdmackeyyeah, I'm just saying going in order will take a long time. Binary search is a better approach if you have no other knowledge as to a decent version.07:42
tdmackeywrostek: also of note, if you look at the top of the tag list youll see the ubuntu-version tags. the non-ubunutu tagged points are the vanilla kernel tags. 07:45
ohsixyou can still just bisect net/ or net/wireless plus your driver too07:47
wrostekMaybe, I think they were giving me the impression the problem may be somewhere else than the driver though07:48
ohsixdid you already see git log 3780d038fdf4b5ef26ead10b0604ab1f46dd9510 ?07:49
wrostekIs that about stalled rt2x0007:49
ohsixyes, from march 9th07:49
wrostekYes, that did not fix this problem it was weird, 07:49
wrostekI think that guy needs to take another look07:50
ohsixthe log entry is pretty concise07:51
ohsixhttp://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/pipermail/users_rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/2012-March/004651.html07:52
wrostekYes,  I mentioned that in my bug report, ( and that fix is already in the precise rt2x00 drivers in beta1 ) but it did not help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/96504307:53
ubot2Launchpad bug 965043 in linux "rt2x00 random stalls in AP Mode - 12.04 Beta 1" [Medium,Confirmed]07:53
ohsixi didn't suggest it solved your problem, but that you may contact him07:54
ohsixor respond to the thread07:54
wrostekOne question, is Ubuntu-3.0.0-1208.19 later than Ubuntu-3.0.0-13.2107:54
wrostekYes, I was thinking about it, but I don't know how much spam he gets already from people with driver issues07:55
ohsix-13 is later07:56
wrostekthansk07:57
wrostekthanks07:57

dileks_(I had no look into syslogs, yet)13:20
dileks_with 3.2.0-17.27 and 3.2.0-20.33 kernels I am not aware I had this new issue13:20
dileks_any known issue?13:22

AceLankklimonda: i got the bug, compiling the new kernel16:46
kklimondaAceLan: great, thanks - any idea if it's somehow related to the fact that I don't get neither X nor terminal o 3.2.0-21? ;)16:47
kklimondaunless I boot into the rescue mode and then select "continue" from the recovery screen16:47
AceLankklimonda: I think the asus-wmi module lead the system hang, so there is no X nor terminal16:49
AceLankklimonda: rescue mode may not load any kernel module, so it works16:49
kklimondaAceLan: hmm, no - I get the oops in the rescue mode16:50
kklimondaAceLan: so at least in the rescue mode it doesn't hang16:50

ohsixanyone have some idea what a high delay for "creating block layer request" in latencytop might indicate what is going on, and what i can do about it22:23
ohsixah, it may be fuse related; but it destroys other disk io when it happens22:26
