mnemochi, I'm trying to make a .deb out of a kernel for a cortex-a8 soc I'm unofficially maintaining. what's the right way of making make-kpkg produce an uImage instead of vmlinuz? also, it seems only --arch arm is supported, will this work on armel and armhf?08:03
ppisatimnemoc: to get an uImage instead of vmlinuz, use make uImage08:05
mnemocppisati: when building manually sure, my doubt is when using this `make-kpkg` thing. I want to share a .deb people could just use...08:06
mnemocor `make-kpkg` is the wrong approach?08:07

brendandDaviey, are there backport kernels for servers too?10:00
Davieybrendand: we share a kernel, so yes.  I cannot comment on server specific regression testing.10:09
brendandDaviey, sorry - i actually didn't ask a detailed enough question. what i meant is are there Q series backports for Precise server and which PPA do i get them from? is it the same as for desktop?10:10
ppisatibrb10:27
Davieybrendand: same as desktop, we now share kernels10:49
* ppisati -> out for food, later10:58
brendandonce i've enabled the https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/q-lts-backport ppa, is it a matter of just doing  dist-upgrade to install the quantal kernel?12:37
tgardnerbrendand, nope, you have to install the kernel meta package thats in that PPA12:37
brendandtgardner, linux-meta-lts-quantal ?12:38
tgardnerbrendand, seems about right12:38
brendandtgardner, sure does. i'm only suspicious because it's not been picking it up on my own precise install. trying on vbox now12:39
brendandtgardner, still says unable to locate package12:40
brendandweird12:40
brendandi enabled with apt-add-repository and then did apt-get update to make sure12:40
tgardnerbrendand, because thats the source package name ? try one of the binaries.12:40

brendandcking - i still haven't managed to catch vanhoof about where to raise firmware bugs. any chance i could raise them in fwts itself and move them later?13:08
brendandcking - i've a few, including some criticals, from quantal testing13:08
ckingbrendand, well vanhoof is on vacation, so you won't get much from him from the next week. so file them against fwts and then we will sort this out later when he gets back. did you send him an email about it?13:09
brendandcking, not yet. i will and cc you on13:10
brendandcking, this is one of the criticals. actually looks pretty bad : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1040728/13:10
ckingbrendand, ok - file a bug as per usual13:11
ckinglemme know the bug number and I can eyeball it too13:13

ubot2Ubuntu bug 1013168 in fwts "Asus ET2012E fails checksum test" [Undecided,New]13:14
ckingbrendand, so it looks like the kernel has loaded the ACPI tables, so can you add the output from "sudo acpidump" to the log so I can see why fwts is complaining13:17
brendandcking, assuming the system is still booted to access it, yeah. otherwise tomorrow (or maybe later today)13:18
brendandcking, one sec13:18
brendandcking: ubuntu@201201-10354:~$ sudo acpidump13:19
brendandsudo: acpidump: command not found13:19
brendand??13:19
sforsheebrendand, sudo apt-get install acpidump13:20
brendandsforshee, well yes13:21
cking..sorry I was answering a phishing scam call just then13:21
brendandcking, i assume you'd expect acpidump to be installed already?13:24
ckingbrendand, nope, I just guessed you may know how to install it13:24
brendandcking, ok ok, i was just checking that you weren't relying on it for fwts to do it's job13:26
brendandcking - looks like a little networking issue in the taipei lab. i'll have to check it with our lab engineer. i think he'll be around later, either that or tomorrow13:27
ckingbrendand, nope, thats all taken care of in fwts13:27
brendandcking, at the moment i can't install anything on that system13:27
ckingbrendand, OK - well I will look at see if it's now a critical issue for Quantal. I believe it used to be bad issue a while ago.13:28

ckingbrendand, I've updated the bug and will add some better intelligence to fwts.  See the bug for the full description of what's wrong13:44
brendandcking, ok13:44
ckingthanks for the data too13:44
brendandcking, no problem. i was just about to note that acpidump spat out 'Wrong checksum for XSDT!' on stderr, but you reached that conclusion already13:45
cking:-)13:45
brendandcking, so fwts was actually the right place ;)13:46
ckingof course:-)13:46
ckingbrendand, I've got a fwts fix to help with this kind of issue, it will appear in the next release of fwts within a week or so14:04
brendandcking, no problem. we'll be looking out for it14:05

apwbjf, what is going on with master-next on precise ?15:09
apwbjf, its based on Ubuntu-3.2.0-24.37 but master is -26 ?15:09
apwhenrix, ^^15:09
apwherton, even ^^15:09
bjfapw, looking15:09
henrixapw: checking15:09
tgardnerdidn't get rebased ?15:10
apwtwice ?15:11
bjfapw, i know we are working on the start of the new cycle15:11
apwhow did we make -26 from -25 if its not in master-next, makes no sense15:11
tgardnerapw, dunno, but it _is_ a straightforward rebase.15:12
henrixok, so that's probably a coordination issue..? i don't usually do the rebase (no permissions) and i guess usually herton does that15:12
sconklin_I pushed that yesterday, maybe I screwed it up15:12
bjfapw, we'll get it sorted15:12
apwi don't think i want to have to rebase master-enxt every time i want to make a test kernel, that seems to defeat the point of it being the 'next' kernel15:14
apwits the last kernel plus some random crap if its not up to date?15:14
tgardnerapw, agreed. 15:14
jsalisburybjf, herton, henrix, looks like one more regression in 3.2.0-25: bug 101318315:15
ubot2Launchpad bug 1013183 in linux "Sound playback stopped working in 3.2.0-25" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/101318315:15
henrixapw: right, i guess that's my fault there. whenever i ask a sponsor to push a kernel, i never check he has done the rebase and i never explicitely ask him to do that15:15
tgardnerapw, whats interesting is that 2 of the recent hwmon patches I submitted disappear when rebased against master.15:16
apwtgardner, yeah its clearly doubly broken as its more than one behind15:17
apwfingers crossed nothing got lost15:17
sconklin_I know what happened, and I'll fix it.15:17
jwitgardner: i think 3/4 and 4/4 of your fam15h_power patches have already landed in oneiric (and precise) through -stable15:17
tgardnerjwi, I think so too15:17
sconklin_Unless someone else also rebased or forced, I have everything I need to fix it15:17
apwsconklin_, do you know we won't have lost anything or do we need to review the mailing list15:17
* apw hasn't done that15:17
jwitgardner: yep, 3.0.31 and 3.2.1715:18
sconklin_I know for sure (because I always check) that the commit before I pushed matched what is now in master15:18
sconklin_and what was pushed was an old local branch that I still have. So I can take the additional commits that were made on that and rebase them onto master and we shoudl be good15:19
tgardnersconklin_, looks like.15:19
tgardnersconklin_, what if you just rebase master-next against master ?15:21
sconklin_tgardner: that would be a mess because of the differences in abi bumps and such. Easiest thing it to cherry pick the 5 commits and force it back up15:23
tgardnersconklin_, hmm, I rebased it wothout any problem.15:24
tgardnerno conflicts15:24
ogasawarabjf: just got off my manager call, gonna dip out for 5min and be back for our SRU call15:25

tgardnerBenC, you're absolutely correct, which is why I asked about it.15:34
BenCYou asked, but without the possibility that these patches may be more relevant now :)15:35
tgardnerBenC, its gonna be  a hard sell given the other inclusion criteria, but we can duke it out on the list.15:36

sconklin_apw: thanks for the alert15:36
BenCtgardner: One of the main issues at hand here is that Freescale Power CPU/SoCs are about to reach critical mass, and either I can put Ubuntu in front of it, or it can be behind it. A good portion of our customers are looking to the cloud, and I think Ubuntu puts them in a better place, but if the install/support isn't there, then I have no pull with my fellow engineers and the pin heads to make Ubuntu tier one for them. They will buckle to 15:41

BenCtgardner: would you be open to a patch that simply adds the e500mc support as a build target first, and then I can work on each of the rest of the patches individually?16:28
* ogasawara back in an hour, pediatrician16:28
BenCThe PHY/MDIO stuff is mainly to support the 10G SoC based ethernet, so I can work on that separately (all of my [Upstream] based patches are accepted upstream, so you can safely assume those will get merged at some point, but please consider including them now to avoid the unneeded delay).16:29
BenCActually the MDAC one is required to make things compile16:31
BenCAnd the PCI one is required to make things boot, but they have been accepted upstream (PCI by benh, mdac by the mdac maintainer)16:32
mfilipehi! I use lvm encrypted and now I updated my kernel to 3.2.0-25-generic-x86_64. So, after that update my kernel doesn't show the splash screen to inform the password to decrypted my lvm. What is wrong? Anyone know something about that?16:58

henrix1) test mainline kernel as suggested by the last comment in the bug report20:21
henrix2) make sure the issue is not present in the old kernel (i.e., just reboot into the old kernel to check)20:21
henrixfinally, i guess we will need to do a bisect to find the offending commit(s)20:22
henrixcould you try 1) and 2) and post results into the bug report?20:22
henrixthen, we could start the bisect, by building kernels so that you can test them until we find the faulty commit20:23
