| cr3 | hi folks, is there a way to determine whether a system supports vpro technology because I'm particularly interested in AMT support? for example, might there be something in /proc/cpuinfo that I could check? | 01:53 |
|---|---|---|
| stgraber | cr3: it's unlikely to be exported as a CPU flag but it might show up in the dmi (look at dmidecode). From a quick test here on two machines that have AMT support, I'm not seeing anything obvious, though I don't think I have it turned on on any of these so that might explain it | 02:02 |
| cr3 | stgraber: ah, I was hoping it would show up even when it was turned off. I'm mostly curious about AMT potential to spare me from having to look in all the BIOS menus | 02:16 |
| queency | hello all i'm using ubuntu9/04 can someone direct me to install power save to my machine | 06:13 |
| MCR1 | bryceh, RAOF, shadeslayer: Hi :) Just FYI: I've now tested 3.6-RC5 (~kernel-ppa/mainline) and SSL uploading (at least to launchpad) is still broken (did not get it to work on any of the 3.6RCs, while it works on the same system with all 3.5 versions)... | 06:47 |
| RAOF | MCR1: SSL uploading to launchpad is broken by the kernel? | 07:00 |
| MCR1 | RAOF: Yes, I am pretty sure about it. | 07:01 |
| RAOF | That's going to be an *awesome* bug once it's found. | 07:02 |
| MCR1 | Once I downgrade to 3.5 there are no problems anymore | 07:02 |
| MCR1 | If I push a new branch in 3.6 for example the branch gets created on launchpad, but no data is ever pushed (empty branch) and I have to bzr break-lock it. | 07:03 |
| MCR1 | The dialogue for entering the SSL password does not appear also... | 07:04 |

| caribou | quick noobie question : what needs to be added to a kernel module source code to avoid the "tainted kernel" mention ? | 10:49 |
| caribou | i.e. I'm writing a 10 lines module and I want to avoid tainting the kernel with it | 10:49 |
| amitk | caribou: what is your module's license? | 10:55 |
| caribou | amitk: I'd say GPLv2, it's just for testing | 10:55 |
| cking | MODULE_LICENSE("GPL"); is requirec | 10:56 |
| cking | or MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2"); | 10:56 |
| amitk | right | 10:56 |
| caribou | cking: amitk: thanks | 10:58 |
| caribou | cking: just trying to hack my own slab corrupting module ;) | 10:58 |
| amitk | caribou: so you _are_ trying to taint the kernel, only in a different way ;) | 10:59 |
| caribou | amitk: I'm chasing a nasty slab corruption bug, I'm trying to build a systemtap probe that will trigger when slub_debug gets enabled | 11:00 |
| caribou | amitk: but you're right :) | 11:00 |

| sforshee | rtg, I dunno, that's really weird | 13:03 |
| rtg | sforshee, I was just reading your comments. perhaps it is binutils | 13:04 |
| rtg | sforshee, I'm updating my local chroot to see if I can repro | 13:05 |
| sforshee | rtg, I did build the same source in a precise chroot and saw that there was some space between video_cards and video_cards_end | 13:05 |
| sforshee | rtg, but it's absolutely bizarre that you bisected to that commit | 13:05 |
| rtg | sforshee, I was getting a different symptom, e.g., black screen. I did see the unknown video mode thing at least once. | 13:06 |

| rtg | sforshee, ^^ this is with current toolchain building Ubuntu-3.5.0-13.14 | 13:36 |
| rtg | sforshee, gonna build with precise just to be sure | 13:36 |
| sforshee | rtg, that looks about like what I got. As long as I'm understanding the code and linker scripts correctly that means the video_cards array is empty. | 13:39 |
| === zz_Kiall is now known as Kiall | ||
| rtg | sforshee, that certainly would appear to be the case. I'll know for sure after compiling against precise ()which will be done in a few minutes) | 13:40 |
| sforshee | rtg, The array being empty is the only thing that makes sense to me anyway. We should end up with a minimum of 1 usable resolution if video_vga is included in video_cards[]. | 13:42 |
