[12:15] Hmm now that I check closely, I see that it downloaded the same file on the 17th and the 18th, nothing on the 19th (but laptop was sleeping) and a new file on the 20th [12:32] ooh, is that what sends me cron mail about lost+found not existing? === _salem is now known as salem_ [12:44] pitti: Not sure how it directly relates; I would think of some fsck job doing this rather than flashplayer/update-notifier [12:44] it started a few days ago [12:45] there were a couple of update-notifier updates, but more like a week ago [12:46] that said, I didn't update daily === MacSlow|lunch is now known as MacSlow [12:53] pitti: I actually received a flashplugin update yesterday, so that run seems legit; not sure what happened a couple of days ago; I'll see if it happens again tomorrow; it seems to be that recent update-notifier uploads might have caused output to be properly reported from the cron job, and now we might have to look at silencing it === greyback|lunch is now known as greyback [12:55] I have a successful stamp file, so at least it shouldn't trigger daily [13:01] pitti: ah, I don't know if it relates but I think I have a bug in the timedelta handling in there; it is using os.times() which is an arbitrary base time which can also overflow and it's comparing that to a file modification time [13:22] MacSlow: just fyi, i have recording hangouts perfect here [13:25] popey, good to know that it's just a magic combination of right settings... if you can write me a quick summary via email about your setup when you've some time, that would be greatly appreciated!

It's probably a broken proxy. [13:36] Or very unlucky timing I guess. [13:39] unlucky timing probably. in Debian we have a two-stage mirroring process that prevents that issue, I was surprised to see it on the official Ubuntu archive though [13:41] lool: You might want to talk to slangasek about your update-notifier woes when he wakes up, a lot of that it shiny new code of his. [13:42] pabs3: Two stage mirroring still allows a (small) window.

Shouldn't this run as part of the package update? [13:46] lool: Ahh, so it's all my fault. Comforting! ;) [13:47] lool: It's vorlon's shiny new crack to allow async downloading of external tarballish packages. [13:47] lool: I'm not actually sure I understand the use-case, but people seemed to think it was important. :P [13:49] infinity: ah so it's indeed on purpose; odd, I was expecting it would at least try the download immediately during the upgrade [13:50] lool: I think it's meant to do that too? I dunno. [13:50] slangasek: Is it intended that updating e.g. flashplugin triggers a download + email at the next cron.daily run? in any case the failed download timestamp handling is bogus, see #986183 [13:50] infinity: maybe it does both and that's another bug [13:53] infinity, slangasek: Indeed, I checked apt term.log and it shows the download of the latest version happening yesterday, and then I download it again from cron [13:53] lool: oops.

Thanks! https://launchpadlibrarian.net/102704100/usr.bin.cobblerd [18:09] roaksoax: thanks! why is dac_override needed? [18:10] roaksoax: beyond that, it looks good :) [18:11] roaksoax: I'll respong in the bug [18:11] respond === deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck [18:14] jdstrand: TBH, the reason why I added dac_override was becaose of this: apparmor="DENIED" operation="capable" parent=1 profile="/usr/bin/cobblerd" pid=32110 comm="cobblerd" capability=1 capname="dac_override === fenris is now known as Guest89753 === Guest89753 is now known as ejat [18:19] hallyn, slangasek, ok i cannot _see_ any way this can occur, i have therefore shoved some debug in the drm setversion ioctl to see if we see anything ... see the bug for a link [18:21] roaksoax: hmmm, I see it is calling os.setuid(100) [18:21] apw: so the EAGAIN is only on open? I had inferred it was when trying to use the dev rather than open it [18:21] slangasek, only on open indeed. after that it is out of the picture [18:21] slangasek, anyhow if we can get some testing i've added lots of dmesg cruft for it [18:22] roaksoax: commented in the bug [18:22] apw: right - hallyn isn't likely to be able to help here, IIRC we re-triaged his issue as a binary driver problem rather than a drm one [18:23] slangasek, well if its reproducible we may find it, if not, hey ... we should not worry so much [18:24] slangasek, its very odd. its almost like we are doing ioctls on the drm stub, which btw is impossible [18:26] apw: *we* can't reproduce it so far; but people with particular hardware configs can [18:27] slangasek, ok then we rely on them to test, and after a long discussion with upstream we have little clue as to the cause ... hense the debug kernels [18:35] jdstrand: uhmmm adding the deny still causes the daemon to start [18:36] jdstrand: uhmmm adding the deny still causes the daemon to not start [19:15] roaksoax: did you see my last comment-- it's good to go :) === kenvandine_ is now known as kenvandine [19:47] apw, you mean the -intel race condition bug? seems we traced the error message down to a routine in libdrm [19:50] bryceh: so there's reason to believe it's userspace-side? [19:51] slangasek, the code that notices the kernel driver is missing/borked/unready is userspace-side, yes. [19:51] bryceh: hmm, so there's already code for this and it's not working right? [19:53] slangasek, the code is an assert, and it's working fine (that's the problem *grin*) [19:53] heh [19:54] but if that changes... doesn't this still amount to user-side polling for the driver to be ready? [19:55] slangasek, how do you mean? [19:55] fundamentally, we don't *want* to be trying to open the drm device until the kernel's ready [19:55] slangasek, right [19:55] we *want* the kernel to tell us when it's ready, but that's not what it's doing [19:55] right [19:56] which is why we're hitting an assert... so ideally, we would still fix this on the kernel side? [19:56] slangasek, yes [19:56] slangasek, maybe context of my initial comment was missing... apw had earlier in the scrollback asked me where I'd traced the error that we were getting. So I said we traced it as far as libdrm. [19:56] ah [19:57] sorry, I was assuming I had full context since he'd highlighted me as well :) [19:57] slangasek, who's on first? [19:59] slangasek, are you following apw's discussion with airlied on the patch? [19:59] no [19:59] is that on the freedesktop bug or somewhere else? [19:59] it's not on the bug, I think it's lkml, lemme dig it up [20:00] linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org [20:00] Subject: [PATCH 0/1] [RFC] DRM locking issues during early open [20:01] slangasek, https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/19/245 [20:04] slangasek, https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/19/252 is daniel vetter's reply, worth looking at === Whoopie_ is now known as Whoopie [20:18] jdstrand: i made two additions to the apparmor profile, which are: /var/www/cobbler/ w, and /var/log/cobbler/ r, [20:18] roaksoax: ack, sounds fine :) [20:20] jdstrand: quick packaging review if you like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/938830/ [20:24] bryceh, i have posted some test kernels, as the issue is differnet, the hole we carried that patch for was inadvertantly closed by the BKL conversion to drm_global_mutex [20:25] * slangasek nods [20:25] all the upgrades from oneiric to precise failed with [20:25] SystemError: E:This installation run will require temporarily removing the essential package python-minimal due to a Conflicts/Pre-Depends loop.

[21:25] the sort of thing we'd stop worrying about come FedoraUsrMove, I guess :) [21:25] :-( [21:25] slangasek: looking at bug 964115 could free space in /tmp be an issue?

[21:27] (dh_makeshlibs goodness) [21:28] slangasek: *facepalm* [21:28] I was looking at the pre-debhelpered postinst [21:28] :) [21:28] Thanks for your time [21:29] n/p [21:40] good evening :) anyone have time to perhaps help out on a Ubuntu boot problem (ARM, kernelproblem, Ubuntu Core)? [21:41] jeinor: I think you're unlikely to learn anything here you haven't already learned. Have you tried #ubuntu-arm? [21:42] slangasek: hi there :) thanks for all the help and answer yesterday [21:43] slangasek: really helpful. I actually got a bit further after your advice, but I'm stuck again now. It seems I can't say anything after joining #ubuntu-arm, you have any idea why? only registered users? [21:43] slangasek: "cannot send to channel #ubuntu-arm" [21:45] perhaps so [21:45] the channel mode has a bit I'm not familiar with ("c") [21:46] what's the next point you're stuck at? [21:46] (also, have you considered registering? it's free ;) [21:47] slangasek: currently using the webchat.freenode.net, I should perhaps install a client.. [21:47] IIRC 'c' is just the color/bold/... filtering mode [21:48] ok then [21:48] slangasek: I got the output we were looking for yesterday from the USB serial cable (used putty to connect to ttyS0) [21:48] * slangasek nods [21:49] slangasek: it boots til the point where it should continue in rootfs (I think). It tries to mount the rootfs partition (or so I believe), but fails [21:49] slangasek: the error message is "cannot open root device mmcblk02p or unknown-block(0,0) [21:50] did your original install have an initramfs? [21:50] and do you still have that? [21:51] I'm not sure. The original install had a boot partiton and a root fs partition. Both on a SD card. It used a 2.6-kernel, which I am now replacing with kernel 3.3.1, but I'm still using the same kernel command line. [21:51] the original install booted Ubuntu 10.04 with X fine, and if that requires an initramfs it had one [21:51] I'll google what that is as we speak :) [21:53] and you haven't changed the contents of the boot partition at all? [21:53] I have replaced the /boot/uImage with a new kernel. I compiled 3.3.1 to replace the old 2.6 kernel, and then replaced that on the boot partition. [21:54] the initramfs is actually separate from the kernel commandline, and passed directly via the bootloader [21:54] ah, well [21:54] there's the problem [21:54] your new kernel doesn't have the driver for the root disk [21:54] so the firmware can load the kernel off the disk, but then the kernel can't see the disk === salem_ is now known as _salem [21:54] you should probably get 12.04 working with the vendor-provided kernel first [21:55] that makes sense. The reason I tried with the 3.3.1 kernel was that I got a looping error message about a "udev, function not implemented" or similar when trying to run ubuntu core using the old 2.6 kernel [21:56] I figured Ubuntu Core required some functionality not existing in my 2.6 kernel [21:57] that's possible [21:57] in that case, upgrading the kernel is necessary... but it's also tricky [21:57] you're pretty much on your own about making sure you get the right kernel config [21:57] ok. I actually got the kernel configuration from a forum thread where a user with the same hardware had got it running. [21:57] and who knows if the upstream kernel even works on this device? [21:58] I'm installing 12.04 in VBox and getting guru meditation errors inconsistently. [21:58] That's why I thought there had to be something wrong with my kernel command line [21:58] you might want to poke that forum thread to see if that user had an initramfs... if so, you need to generate an initramfs to go with your kernel [21:59] according to him (the thread is here, if you're interested: http://www.solid-run.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=493), he just replaced the /boot/uImage and he was up and running [21:59] hmm [21:59] well, I'd press *him* for details on the right kernel commandline :) [21:59] he doesn't mention any initramfs, but perhaps that's obvious if you know what you're doing :) [21:59] guess who the last person is who wrote in that thread ;) [22:01] I guess I'll just have to have patience (meaning I will bang my head in the wall trying everything I can think of until he answers) [22:01] really appreciate your answers and help here though, thanks a lot [22:02] sure [22:02] you should really register and get on #ubuntu-arm :) [22:02] yea, that seems like the best next step. I'll get right into that. === jeinor is now known as jeeinor [22:24] slangasek: I actually think the drivers for the SD card reader is setup correctly, it says in the log it finds /dev/mmc0 and /dev/mmc1 (that must be my boot partition and rootfs partion) [22:24] partition* [22:25] I just think the kernel loads the wrong one when it tries to mount mmcblk0p2 [22:25] mmcblk0p2 is the root partition; the "p2" means partition 2 [22:26] and the raw disk should be /dev/mmcblk0, not /dev/mmc0, I think [22:26] but I don't have anything in front of me I can check that against [22:32] hmm, you're probably right. But there seems to be something wrong with the way I change the kernel command line. That's probably why it didn't work yesterday as well. [22:33] I just tried adding --verbose, and that makes the whole process halt when trying to find /boot/uImage. I think there's something I don't understand about u-boot [22:53] slangasek: aha! apparently I couldn't just change the kernel command line arguments the way I did, it had no effect. I had to regenerate the file /boot/boot.scr using mkimage. [22:54] slangasek: after doing that, it starts picking up my new kernel command line args. That explains why nothing happened when I added --verbose or removed console= yesterday [22:54] didn't help to change it to /dev/mmc1 though, still can't find the rootfs :/ [22:54] yes, whatever /dev/mmc1 refers to, it's not your root partition [22:55] you're right [22:57] I'm starting to think you're right about the missing drivers.. when it says "here are the available partitions:" it lists none [23:14] bdmurray: any idea then why edward.donovan is seeing users directed to bug #628104, if there's no bug pattern? [23:14] Launchpad bug 628104 in Aptdaemon "update-manager crashes: AptDaemonError: org.debian.apt: Could not cancel transaction" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/628104 [23:14] slangasek: nothing utterable [23:14] clearly users are seeing this error, but I think we need to get a clean backtrace [23:14] hmm [23:16] I've tried recreating it a few times without luck [23:19] is there anything we've overlooked so far that would explain the users being sent to that particular bug? [23:26] slangasek: maybe a bugpattern pointing a duplicate which redirects to that? I don't see one though [23:26] hmm [23:27] there is a pattern for similar bug 707990 [23:27] Launchpad bug 707990 in aptdaemon (Ubuntu) "update-manager crashed with DBusException in _convert_dbus_exception(): org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
