tjaaltonwhen is the precise-proposed kernel released to -updates?08:18
tjaaltonit has some drm/i915 fixes I'd like to get in08:18
smbtjaalton, Seems it might wait on cert08:24
smbSo maybe next week?08:24
tjaaltonsmb: ok, thanks08:24
henrixyeah, it should be there next week 08:24
henrixtjaalton: but you can test it before that :)08:25
tjaaltonhenrix: I've asked people to do that, bug 966631 and several dupe candidates :)08:25
ubot2`Launchpad bug 966631 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[sandybridge-m-gt2] GPU lockup render.IPEHR: 0x7a000003 with Google Maps(WebGL) in Chromium" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96663108:25
tjaaltonthere are a couple of other commits too that have been verified elsewhere08:26
tjaaltonfixing similar bugs08:26
tjaaltonthose can wait for the next iteration i guess08:26
henrixcool08:27
tjaaltonbtw, now that the wacom bamboo updates have been accepted adding intuos5 support is trivial (four commits). would that be accepted by the same criteria as the bamboo ones?08:30
henrixif these commits are in mainline, you may send them to the kernel-team ML.08:33
tjaaltonyeah they got included in 3.5-rc1, missed the 3.4 queue because of a missing S-o-B :)08:34
henrixsmb: any idea who's maintaining virtualbox?08:35
smbhenrix, community (or virtualbox company)? What does changelog say?08:36
henrixsmb: will check...08:36
henrixsmb: yeah, it looks like its community supported08:36
henrixsmb: there's a bug on it that's triggered by P in -proposed08:37
smbhenrix, The dkms mod failing to compile due to some change?08:37
henrixsmb: no, actually it prevents a shutdown: "unregister_netdevice: waiting for vboxnet0 to become free. Usage count = -1"08:38
henrixsmb: it has been pointed out on the release tracking bug for the precise kernel08:38
henrixsmb: not sure if this actually counts as a regression...08:39
henrixsmb: bug #1009156 if you're curious :)08:39
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1009156 in linux "linux-3.2.0-25.40: unregister netdevice change breaks VirtualBox" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/100915608:39
smbhenrix, IMO I would retarget it to the virtualbox source package which likely produces the dkms which in turn creates the vboxnet module08:40
henrixsmb: yeah, it's open against VB08:40
henrixsmb: but the bug reporter commented on the tracking bug, that's how i found that bug08:41
smbAh, ok. Is it obvious what change may have changed the netdev usage?08:42
smbThe question is whether vbox relies on some broken assumption or whether the kernel changes something without knowing all implications.08:43
henrixyeah, there's a upstreams bug report and there's a patch for that already.08:43
henrixso, its just a matter of the maintainer picking this patch08:43
smbAh ok... 08:43
henrixbasically, its a change in one of the core network apis... which is always a pain for OOT modules :)08:44
smbhenrix, So the history looks like it (vbox) usually is just a syc from Debian08:44
henrixsmb: how can you tell that? by the "unstable" in each entry?08:45
smbfrom the version number not having a ubuntux08:45
henrixok :)08:45
smbBut also looking at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+publishinghistory08:45
smbWhich usually has copied from debian x08:46
henrixok, i'll check if this is fixed on debian08:46
dilekssmb: are you still maintaining drm-backports to linux-2.6.32?08:46
smbdileks, Yes08:47
dileksgood guy - you are08:47
smbhenrix, In the history with the last upload to precise there is an uploader email address which you may contact08:48
smbdileks, Thanks. :)08:51
dilekssmb: BTW, whats your position to kernel-drm vs. libdrm? note: some Xorg and kernel devs wanted it to be at one place08:52
dileksoh happy world IPv6 day :-)08:58
dilekshttp://www.worldipv6launch.org/08:58
smbdileks, I do not really have a position there. Note that I maintain the tree (only). Which means adding patches that are asked to be added if the match stable change rules. I am as opinionated as any librarian: which is for the 2.6.32 tree not changing too much. ;)08:58
dileksbest strategy for me in early kms days was - take all from GIT :-) linux-kernel, libdrm, mesa3d and xserver08:59
apwdileks, happy World IPv6 Launch Day indeed09:10

apwcooloney, are you really looking at the above bug ? ^^12:05
apwxnox, i assume you have a precise kernel on there, and that this is new behaviour, can you work out which kernel it did work on before12:06
xnoxapw: I have quantal kernel12:06
apwxnox, it seems the issue appeared in an update in precise, so if you can test 3.2.0-20.32 and config it is also broken, and then step backwards on the 3.2.0 kernels till it comes back that would help a lot12:08
apws/config/confirm12:08
xnoxapw: ok. so do a 'bisect' =) easy way to download all the kernels?12:09
apwthey are all linked from the version page for the kernels, but easy probabally not12:09

[yates]Hi all, is someone able to look at my acpitables.txt concerning bug #996782 ?12:36
ubot2`Launchpad bug 996782 in linux "ACPI Errors" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/99678212:36

apwjwi, nope lost track of that one completely.  will get the patch rebased and out for review12:57
ppisatiis there a way to tell dpkg-buildpackage to skipabi?13:04
ogra_yes, its documented in the kernel build wiki :P13:07
ogra_some env var13:07
ppisatiall the references i found used fakeroot not dpkg-...13:10
ogra_the vars should be the same though as they should apply to the in-package scripts13:11
cooloneyapw and xnox, yeah, I'm working that USB 3.0 regressions issue13:40
xnoxcooloney: ok cool. thanks =)13:41
cooloneyxnox: sure, i guess you have usb 3.0 hardware, right? as apw pointed out, could you please try the kernel on your hardware13:41
cooloneyxnox: and let us know which one works and which one doesn't13:42
xnoxcooloney: kernel(s). ok.13:42
cooloneyxnox: i really appreciate you can provide such information for us bisect. and please update that in the launchpad page13:44
xnoxcooloney: apw: the publishing history, timesout to render on lp.net due to trying to linkify all 2000 bugs. Is there any other way I can easily get version numbers directly?13:58
xnoxlinux-meta timesout as well...13:59
cooloneyxnox: what's kind of version number you want to get?13:59
xnoxcooloney: as per apw: 3.2.0-20.32 and going backwards. Does that mean integer decrements down to 20.1?13:59
xnoxcooloney: stuff that ever got published in precise-*14:00
cooloneyxnox: oh, lp is down, sh*t14:00
apwxnox, the last number is an upload number so it decrements, but there are not 32 -20 versions14:00
xnoxcooloney: not down, it fails to render linux package publishing history =)14:00
apwhttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/info/kernel-version-map.html14:01
xnoxIf I grab the precise-proposed linux-meta, will the changelog show the version numbers?14:01
apwxnox, that above has the numbers which were valid14:01
xnoxyeah! =)14:01
xnoxapw: so I should work down the first table from 3.2.0-20.32?14:02
apwwell assuming that that version fails yes ... 14:03
cooloneyxnox: so you can try 3.2.0-19.31, if it fails, then continue14:03
cooloneyuntil you find a kernel works on your hardware with USB 3.014:04
xnoxapw: cooloney: do we have a known version that did work with 3.0 usb hardware? maybe my laptop's usb3.0 didn't work, ever =)14:06
xnoxthen my bisect will be pointless14:06
* xnox just got 3.0usb hardware in the mail14:06
cooloneyxnox: actually I'm not sure about this, how about try the first 3.2.0 ubuntu kernel firstly, we can shrink the range then14:07
cooloneyxnox: 3.2.0-8.14 is the first 3.2.0 kernel in Ubuntu14:08
xnoxok14:08
xnoxcooloney: minimal amount of packages that I need to install?14:09
cooloneyxnox: simply just install linux-image- package is good enough to test14:11
xnoxI'm going with generic image and generic headers14:11
xnoxoh ok.14:11
xnoxThankfully that is a stable-ish url https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/amd64/linux-image-3.2.0-8-generic/3.2.0-8.1414:12
cooloneyxnox: that's great, just let us know the result.14:13
* xnox reboot14:14
cooloneyin the bug 966248, kernel from 11.10 should works 14:14
ubot2`Launchpad bug 966248 in linux "USB3.0 Ports Not Working" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96624814:14
cooloneyso maybe you can try that kernel if 3.2.0-8.14 doesn't 14:15
cooloneywork14:15
cooloneyxnox: did it work?14:44
xnoxcooloney: so 3.2.0-8.14 works. I am in a meeting now. will do reboots after the meeting.15:00
* ogasawara back in 2015:01
cooloneyxnox: great, thanks a lot. i have to go to sleep. please help to update LP 15:16

tjaaltonis it possible to squeeze individual fixes in the precise-proposed kernel before it hits -updates next week?16:07
henrixtjaalton: usually these are queued into master-next branch, unless they are critical/security fixes i guess...16:10
henrixbjf: ^16:10
tjaaltonfor instance 80e829fade4e for bug 974830 has been confirmed quite some time ago16:10
ubot2`Launchpad bug 974830 in xserver-xorg-video-intel "[sandybridge-m-gt2+] GPU lockup render.IPEHR: 0x78170003 using Oracle SQL Developer" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97483016:10
henrixtjaalton: at the moment we have 2 days left for adding these fixes and going through packaging, testing, certification, etc again...16:12
henrixtjaalton: these fixes could be queued for next cycle and in 3 weeks they would be out in -updates16:13
tjaaltonhenrix: hmm ok, maybe that wouldn't be too far then16:13
henrixtjaalton: anyway, you may try to convince bjf that these fixes *really* need to go in this cycle :)16:13
tjaaltondebian might go for drm from 3.4 :)16:13
tjaaltonbut that ship has sailed16:14
tjaaltonhenrix: ok, well maybe having some more time wouldn't hurt here16:16
bjftjaalton: no, and you are close to missing the window for the next cycle16:19
tjaaltonbjf: ok, when does it close?16:19
bjftjaalton: we will start preping the next series of kernels next week16:20
tjaaltonok, there is now that one commit that has been verified being good, and two others that upstream says are good but not verified by the reporters yet16:21
tjaaltonwhat is the procedure to get them in the next batch?16:21
tjaaltoncherry-pick email on the list+16:22
tjaalton?16:22
bjftjaalton: there is a SRU format for patch requests ... https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat16:22
tjaaltonok, probably going via the stable queue/release would take too long?16:23
tjaaltoni mean 3.2-stable16:23
bjftjaalton: you should make the effort to request inclusion of the patches by upstream stable16:24
tjaaltonyeah I'll do that regardless16:25
bjftjaalton, also: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelUpdates16:26
tjaaltonbjf: yeah, I realized my intuos5 cherry-pick email cut corners in various ways ;)16:28
bjftjaalton, if we know ahead of time that you have something that you are trying to get into the next cadence cycle, we can delay the prep to the end of the week16:28
tjaaltonyeah, I'll rebase my branch on top of -next and see how it works16:30
