rtgdoes it work for you ?13:21
Prf_JakobI haven't test it actually 13:21
Prf_JakobBut I can do that.13:22
Prf_JakobI'm wondering if you will cherry pick those to patch and maybe even the dumb_fb patch?13:22
rtgPrf_Jakob, the first patch is in Ubuntu-3.5.0-14.15, and is coming in Precise.13:23
Prf_JakobAh ok good13:23
rtgI'm reluctant to pick the FB patch since it does represent a more radical change13:23
rtgPrf_Jakob, the bug reporter did indicate that the minimal patch solved his issues13:24
Prf_Jakobthe xf86-video-vmware packages install a modprobe rule that does the same.13:24
rtgPrf_Jakob, I'm fine with leaving it up to user space to do that13:25
Prf_JakobOk13:25
rtgPrf_Jakob, the first patch is in Precise Ubuntu-3.2.0-31.50 (likely still in -proposed)13:25
Prf_Jakobk thanks13:26

hggdhfolks, I would really appreciate a look at bug 1049395, we have had 5 failures on 7 runs on it13:52
ubot2Launchpad bug 1049395 in linux "ext4: kernel BUG at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.38/fs/buffer.c:2900!" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104939513:52

bjfhggdh, i'll look but as i was explaining yesterday, i've seen this occasionally myself and of the 13 commits that have gone into natty in the last two kernel versions, _none_ are against ext4. they are mostly networking or ecryptfs14:00
bjfhggdh: you could try 2.6.38-15.66 for comparison14:02
dokoogasawara, can somebody bump the ABI in linux-meta-lowlatency?14:02
dokoquantal14:02
ogasawaradoko: I don't see it needing an ABI bump yet for quantal, ie it's at -13.  am I missing something?  I do see it needs rebasing to -14 though.14:08
dokoyeah, maybe rebasing. I see in NBS:14:10
dokolinux-headers-3.5.0-1314:10
doko   linux-headers-3.5.0-13-lowlatencyuniverseamd64 i38614:10
ogasawarartg: ^^ think you could rebase apw's lowlatency kernel and upload to universe today?  I've gotta bail here in a second.14:12
rtgogasawara, can do14:13
ogasawarartg: thanks14:13
* ogasawara heads downtown14:14
hggdhbjf: OK. I will tag it qa-testing-passed, but I still do not like the number of failures14:14
bjfhggdh: can you test the previous kernel version?14:14
hggdhbjf: I can hack around it, yes, doing it manually14:18
rtgbjf, have you upgraded to Quantal on a machine that referenced the X packages in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/q-lts-backport ?14:23
hggdhbjf: I will first re-run it to have a full repeat, then I will retest the current -updates kernel14:24
bjfrtg, no, all 3 of my test systems are servers and i've not tried that here at home, i could pretty easily though14:39
rtgbjf, If you've got a VM that would be handy. it seems some of the packages don't get updated. I'm suspecting some version issues.14:40
jbichahey, bug 1049650 is annoying16:37
ubot2Launchpad bug 1049650 in linux "Regression: "Undefined video mode" with 3.5.0-14.16" [Medium,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/104965016:37
rtgsforshee, did your gmux crack do this ? ^^16:42
sforsheertg, I seriously doubt it. It's not even an apple machine.16:42
rtgsforshee, its about the only think even vaguely related to video16:43
sforsheertg, apple-gmux shouldn't load unless the right hid appears in the ACPI tables, and it should only be there on apple machines16:43
rtgsforshee, right16:44
jstultzCurious if anyone in Ubuntu is looking at the pstore infrastructure (using it to capture oops logs, etc)?16:46
rtgjstultz, I think cking had some interest in it16:47
jstultzrtg:  cool16:47
ckingwell, my UEFI boxes with Quantal do save kernel log messages to the UEFI variable space, so that's a debugging win for me16:48
ckingnot exercised pstore yet though16:48
jstultzcking:  cool :)  part of why I ask, is that Anton Vorontsov at linaro has been working on getting some of the android features merged into pstore16:49
jstultzcking:  so for instance on arm, it can use persistent-ram (doesn't clear on warm reset) instead of bios provided flash to store dmesg logs..16:49
jstultzcking:  also there's been recent work to get ftrace output captured by pstore16:50
ckingjstultz, that's a nice debugging feature. could have done with that several years ago working on ARM devices.16:50
jstultzcking:  but i just wanted to make sure these features were promoted enough so folks who might be able to integrate them know they're there.16:51
ckingjstultz, when are these changes going to land in mainline?16:52
jstultzcking:  3.616:52
jstultzcking:  they should all be there already16:53
jstultz(the ftrace bits may still be pending for 3.7..  )16:53
ckingok, so Quantal+1 now16:53
jstultzcking:  yep... 16:53
ckingjstultz, are these just ARM only features? the ftrace in pstore sounds like a cool idea, but probably uses up lots of memory16:54
jstultzcking:  the hope is that pstore will abstract some of the uefi vs arm differences16:54
jstultzcking:  not necessarily..  i think you can size the memory space..  16:54
jstultzcking:  it just helps to get exactly what functions were called right before an oops16:55
ckingjstultz, indeed, that would be a big win 16:55
jstultzcking:  the arm only aspect of the persistent-ram part of pstore is really only hardware based..16:55
jstultzmost x86 hardware clears ram state over warm reset... 16:56
ckingok16:56
jstultzif an architecture doesn't clear ram, then it should be usable.16:56
ckingindeed, pity about x86 PCs clearing memory really.16:56
jstultzand we can still try to log to ram regardless, but we just won't find anything on reset16:57
jstultz(although that could be wasteful.. but atleast provides a way to avoid configuration twiddling)16:57
* cking adds it to his list of things to examine and test on suitable kit16:57
jstultzcking:  anyway, just wanted to raise awareness... thanks for listening! :)16:58
jstultzcking:  feel free to ping me or cbou on #linaro-kernel if you have further questions16:58
ckingjstultz, I appreciate you letting me know, much appreciated :-)16:58
