kengyuogasawara, hi, do you think will do 3.2.14 rebase before the kernel freeze?01:09

kengyuSarvatt, ahh, cool, already done!01:42
wrostekIm having trouble with my Ubuntu Install, I was building kernels the ubuntu way, and then using dpkg -i <kernalname> to install and apt-get purge <kernelname> to remove..  Next day Ubuntu boots into lighted but freezes shortly after, no message in logs, can't ssh in.. its useless01:54
wrostekIm having trouble with my Ubuntu Install, I was building kernels the ubuntu way, and then using dpkg -i <kernalname> to install and apt-get purge <kernelname> to remove..  Next day Ubuntu boots into lighted but freezes shortly after, no message in logs, can't ssh in.. its useless01:54
wrostekIs there a way to repair the installation?01:55
RAOFwrostek: There's always a livecd.01:58
RAOFAnd what do you mean by “lighted”?  If you can boot into recovery mode and not have it hang then you've got the opportunity to do basically everything.01:58
wrostekRAOF what can I do? which package should I try to reinstall?01:59
wrostekI booted into recovery mode, reinstalled the kernel, unity, lightedm,  not sure what else02:00
wrostekI could reinstall02:00
RAOFThat kinda depends on what's breaking.  I'd start by just booting into the original Ubuntu kernel and seeing if that works.02:00
wrostekIt does not, it usually gets to the point of lighted login, or just before the login appears and stops, no hard drive light nothing.. its just dead02:00
wrosteklightdm sorry02:01
wrostekThere is nothing in the log ( no errors ) so Im not sure what else I can try02:01
wrostekIs there anyway to have ubuntu reinstall all packages or something?02:02
RAOFYou can run an ‘aptitude reinstall ~n’, which will reinstall all packages.02:04
wrostekdo you think that would help?02:04
RAOFNo, not really.02:05
wrostekOk, is there a way to boot to console?  Maybe x is causing the problem, is there a way to test that?02:06
RAOFRecovery mode boots to console.02:06
RAOFBut if you *are* booting the Ubuntu kernel which previously worked then I don't think the kernel is your problem.02:06
wrostekBut it doesn't load all the other services, maybe the problem is just in x02:06
wrostekYes, I think when I was removing old kernels something got removed with them02:07
RAOFBut X hasn't changed?02:07
wrostekNo, I havnt touched it02:07
RAOFI'd just try installing ubuntu-desktop (and possibly “apt-get --fix-policy install” to pull in any Recommends that have gone away).02:08
wrostekthanks, let me try02:08
wrostekfix policy installs all the recommended packages correct?02:10
RAOFYes.02:13
wrostekHEY RAOF, thanks for your help, somehow that worked03:11

infinityapw: Around?07:49
infinityapw: Opinions on picking up the patch in http://www.spinics.net/lists/raid/msg37775.html ?07:49
infinityapw: Those ioctl printks are scary as all get out, until one researches them (which people shouldn't really be forced to do to prevent heart attacks)07:50
infinityapw: Picking it up for precise, and dropping it for Q would be my vote, if upstream still wants the printks there to track userspace behaviour.  But it doesn't belong in a "production" (especially LTS) kernel, IMO, to whine at me every time mdadm does something harmless.07:52
apwinfinity, what you doing which triggers it, this on your ppc ?07:52
infinityapw: No, on my amd64 server.  mdadm trips over this every time it does, well, anything.07:53

infinityI see 7 in the patch.07:54
infinityBut I'm not sure what they all map to.07:54
infinityEverywhere I look for the above, I get LKML hits saying "it's harmless reporting, ignore it", and the like.07:54
apwahh so there is, i should open my eyes07:54
infinityBut it sure doesn't LOOK harmless.07:54
infinityNot to the casual observer.07:55
apwinfinity, sounds reasonable to me, i wonder if L has uploaded yesterday bulk updates07:55
infinityHence, I suspect, SUSE carrying the above patch for SLED.07:55
apwgot a reference to a clean patch is is that the only reference07:55
infinityapw: One message up in the thread, lazypants? :)07:56

apwikepanhc, i don't think it would be ... dmraid-45 is a PC BIOS specific s/w raid configuration model i believe11:08
apwikepanhc, and if i am reading the bug right we fail to install mdadm tools which is not in the kernel at all: 11:09
apwNote: raid devices may be detected after "sudo apt-get install mdadm && reboot"11:09
ikepanhcapw: ok, thanks.11:10
ikepanhc I have little knowledge about netboot11:10
apwikepanhc, i beleive netboot is very similar to an ordinary alternate image11:11
ikepanhcwhat I know is netboot will load Image and Initrd via tftp, because the d-i name is also incorrect in armadaxp kernel, so I just wonder if the root cause if dm-raid45.ko is not found - well, this is a wrong guess11:13

smbikepanhc, apw is right, if you are not using dmraid to set up a RAID that has been defined in BIOS it is not using dm-raid4511:52
smbmadmn would use raid456 or something other md modules. Note that mdadm is completely different from device-mapper11:53
smbAlso the bug seems to mix raid and dm-crypt... Are you setting up encrypted lvm or a RAID ?11:55
apwsmb, doesn lvm use dm underneath ?11:56
smblvm does but not md11:56
ikepanhcI do not with the hardware..11:56
* ikepanhc review the bug again11:57
smbAnd usually RAID is defined using md / mdadm11:57
smbI see the log has a raid1011:57
smbbut I need to read more carefully from the beginning11:57
* ppisati -> lunch12:01
ikepanhcok, I see what confused me :( md v.s. dm12:06
smbikepanhc, This setup seems to include as much as it can for confusion12:07
smbext4, xfs, lvm, md12:07
ikepanhcok, so, for this bug, what I shall do is check the config and make sure the software raid is on and included in Image or Initrd12:09

hertonwow everything on fire, not good. I used 3.0.0-18 on Oneiric (now already on master-next -19), didn't notice anything bad, but may be it's the applications I use, don't use KDE/opera like in reports15:40
henrixmy guess is that its related with PM + hda-intel driver15:41
hertonI suspect "epoll: limit paths" may have something to do with it, there is a later fix for it not on -18 (93dc6107a76daed81c07f50215fa6ae77691634f), could explain this type of breakage, just a hunch though15:41
