scientescan i get on that backport track with kernel for precise NOW?05:21
scientesThere are various reasons I want a 3.4-based kernel05:21

smbjanimo, You mail look into git for you answer: eb66750db88b59b28ac91c627dd0984b5508f5a6 (at least for maint-startnewrelease). And it was not me putting it there. ;)07:32

smbtjaalton, Hey, I just noted on your submissions to stable that they only went there (and yourself). Usually it is better to cc at least the maintainer(s) and the author (depending on Greg's mood (if it is for one of his stable trees) the sub-system mailing list too.08:59
smbReason is that maintainers not always (if at all) look at stable but are normally required to ack or nak09:00
tjaaltonsmb: oh09:01
tjaaltonit's not mentioned on Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt though09:02
smbtjaalton, I try to put everyone who signed-off and the author (if not equal to one s-o-b) on cc. Maybe not, but I could give you examples of me being told so. ;) And it just gives you a much better chance at being seen/noticed. :)09:03
tjaaltonsmb: heh, ok09:05
apwbjf, henrix, looks like this might be a regression-update: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/101548010:18

apwcking, hey you looked at bug #904261, did the fix for that make it into the main kernel ?10:19
ubot2Launchpad bug 904261 in linux "Lenovo U300s does not suspend" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/90426110:19
henrixapw: yeah, it looks like. thanks10:20
ckingapw, not yet, I'm waiting for a specific patch to land10:20
apwcking, so i think you supplied a custom kernel, and that has now been superceeded10:20
dilekshi10:21
ckingapw, yep, that's true10:21
apwcking, if you have the patch around it might be nice to spin a replacement10:21
dileksis a wubi-installation a somehow elegant way to "bypass" secure-boot problem :-)?10:21
ckingapw, I could do that, but I could be doing this until 3.6 at this rate10:22
apwcking, if this one fixes it then lets just SAUCE it in10:22
ckingapw, and there is a user-space hackaround for it10:22
ckingapw, the patch is really ugly and won't get upstreamed, it was just a sanity check to see why things were locking up10:22
apwthe userspace work around is reported (by a normal) to have stopped working10:23
apwhttp://marc.info/?l=linux-pm&m=133573212512122&w=2 <-- this one ?10:23

ubot2Ubuntu bug 904261 in linux "Lenovo U300s does not suspend" [Medium,In progress]10:24
ckingit's more complex that that though10:24
apwi cannot tell easily as the machine was installed by someone else, but i am suspicious he had your kernel10:24
apwand its gone now, and he is not using the work around, hmmm10:24
ckingapw, fundamentally it is partly to do with a BIOS issue10:25
apwcking, so the kernel you did was jsut a bodge and not something we can put in master10:25
ckingapw, it was a bodge and I'm waiting for the real fix to land - which is going to be somewhat different10:26
cking..as this fix may cause other issues on other machines if I read it correctly10:27
apwcking, i wonder if we need a genric mechanism for these10:28
apwlike ubuntu-bodge-lpNNNN10:28
apwwhich explicitly has to be turned on10:28
apwie deliberatly not letting it be DMI enabled etc, to cover the space before an upstream fix lands10:28
ckingmakes sense - or I write in the bug report "THIS IS A TEST KERNEL AND IS NOT SUPPORTED!!"10:29
apwyou can write that, and what happens is someone installs it for the VP of something, and then when it gets replace, i get involved via rick10:29
apwits a general problem though, that we have no way to put 'crap needed for broken machines' in the tree safely right no10:30
apwnow10:30
ppisaticooloney: still around?10:44
janimosmb, ok. I noticed it because I have my @ubuntu.com address the default for gpg and debemail :). I am not sure why only Canonical people should run this script, it makes perfect sense even for local tweaks and rebuilds to keep the packaging cleaner11:28
smbjanimo, I guess it is valid to ask whether it may be changed to be configurable there. Just as an answer to "do you know why" it is "yes, because" ;)11:30
janimosmb, :)11:34
janimoprobably a config option would make sense11:34
janimoif we are to be nitpicky canonical@foo.com also matches currently :)11:35
smbjanimo, Or probably an environment variable to override the requirement (to avoid having an additional config file)11:35
janimook, I thought there was a conffile already but if not envvar is better11:35
smbjanimo, Ok, I did a quick stab at it. Now you can at least override the check (I admit the envvar name is long)11:48
janimosmb, nice thanks ! btw can you add me to (janimo/jani.monoses@canonical.com) to the mainstscript.cfg list? The docs said I should add myself but could not push11:49
smbjanimo, I could but I think this list is more intended as a default with a bit more limitation on the scope11:54
janimosmb, ok great than. I thought it was used by some scripts to match commit authors to irc names for some reason11:55
janimomaybe to ping  by bot or something11:55
smbjanimo, Maybe you are even talking about a different config file... Which one was that exactly?11:57
smbThere is a exmaple-kteam.rc which would go to ~/.kteam.rc but that is solely used to make maint-modify-patch wrork11:57
janimosmb, yes, that one11:58
janimoah ok then. no worries :)11:59
janimoI had it copied to ~/.maintscripts.cfg based on what I read somewhere (wiki most likely)11:59
smbAh, ok. That is really only to avoid typing email addresses for adding signed-off-by and acked and such. You can easily create your own fitting your needs11:59
Defusalthe latest cpuset package says "ImportError: No module named cpuset.main" when running "cset", does anyone know how i can fix this?12:26
cooloneyppisati: yeah, i'm here, just felt a little bit head ache and took a reset13:30
Defusaldoes anyone know how to make a default group for all system-wide processes (starting with init) that are not part of another cgroup in cgconfig.conf?13:33
ppisaticooloney: no prob, i was actually looking for ming, so i wanted to know if you have seen him around on irc13:36
cooloneyppisati: np, he is in #hwe channel13:39
ppisaticooloney: ack13:39
cooloneyppisati: but don't know whether he is online13:40
ppisaticooloney: i'll ping him tomorrow then13:40
ppisaticooloney: we hit the same mmc card regression on oamp313:40
ppisaticooloney: and i was wondering if he saw a panic during about voltage_scaling13:40
ppisati*during boot13:40
cooloneyppisati: oh, i saw you mentioned that yesterday. is that related to filesystem or just voltage thing13:41
ppisaticooloney: one is about mmc card (sever file system corruption) both of us hit it, we bisected and came down to the same problem13:42
ppisaticooloney: but in the mean time, they introduced another regression13:42
ppisaticooloney: and it _seems_ (i'm rebuilding openocd to jtag it) to be voltage scaling required13:43
cooloneyppisati: oh, what a mess. is that in mainline kernel? unforunately, i don't have omap3 board13:43
ppisaticooloney: actually that's something to do with ubuntu config (omap2plus_defconfig doesn't exhibit it)13:43
ppisatino prob13:43
cooloneyppisati: hmmm. got it.13:43
ppisatibut i wanted to know if he saw the secont one too since we are working on mailine both for omap313:44
tleippisati, ping14:08
ppisatitlei: hey14:08
tleippisati, I am ming, and bryan said you are looking for me14:10
ppisatitlei: yep, besides the mmc regression, didn't you hit a kernel hang during boot?14:10
ppisatitlei: last kernel message complains about voltage_scaling14:10
tleippisati, what is log?14:11
ppisatitlei: something like this - http://paste.ubuntu.com/1049450/14:11
ppisatitlei: to rreproduce it, grab mainline (3.5rcx), use the ubuntu config file, compile and try to boot it14:11
ppisatitlei: usually around the second reboot, it hangs (something not de/initialized properly seems)14:12
tleippetraki, looks no such problem on beagle-xm revB with 3.5-rc214:12
ppisatitlei: are you using ubuntu config file? doesn't show up with omap2plus_defconfig14:13
tleippisati, oh, I seldom tried 2nd reboot since there is a crash triggered by reboot, and I am a bit lazy to apply one patch to fix it14:14
ppisatitlei: i usually reset in that case :)14:14
tleippetraki, no, I seldom tried ubuntu kernel on beagle-xm, and it is very slow with my low speed mmc card14:15
ppisatitlei: ack, no prob14:15
tleitlei, ok, I will try it, but I remembered one reboot crash problem not fixed, so can you reboot successfully without any out-of-tree patch? 14:16
tleitlei, just on beagle, and panda is not affected14:16
tleippisati,  ok, I will try it, but I remembered one reboot crash problem not fixed, so can you reboot successfully without any out-of-tree patch? 14:17
ppisatitlei: nope, when it crashes at reboot i simply reset the aobrd14:17
tleippisati,  just on beagle, and panda is not affected14:17
ppisatitlei: beaglexm yes14:17
tleippisati, if so, I am sure I have not meet the kernel hang problem with the reset button14:18
ppisatitlei: you can easily grab Q/master-next, revert the autocmd12 commit and build14:18
tleippisati, maybe I need to try ubuntu config, instead of the omap plus config14:18
ppisatitlei: first boot ok, from the second one onward, solid hangs during boot14:19
ppisatitlei: 100% reproducible14:19
tleippisati, this line may be a clue:  voltdm_scale: No voltage scale API registered for vdd_mpu_iva14:19
ppisatitlei: yep, that's why i thought it's voltage scaling related14:23
tleippisati, looks I didn't enable voltdm_scale14:27
ppisatitlei: in your config?14:27
tleippisati, I will try to test it tomorrow14:27
ppisatitlei: no prob, it's night over there14:27
tleippisati, yes, I guess14:27
ppisatitlei: enjoy the... night? :)14:27
