xnoxDo we ship ndiswrapper in generic ubuntu kernels?14:23
xnoxthe package says that it is provided, yet lsmod does not show ndiswrapper, nor modprobe -r ndiswrapper work on the LiveCD without network access.14:24
=== edamato is now known as edamato-brb
rtgxnox, indeed we do not provide ndiswrapper14:26
xnoxrtg: can you figure out _when_ you stopped doing this?14:27
rtgxnox, its been awhile. lemme check14:27
xnoxrtg: cause it means I have an argument on ubuntu-devel to drop ndiswrapper tools from the CD \0/14:27
rtgxnox, we disabled ndiswrapper in Precise (3.2.0-1.1)14:28
xnoxrtg: interesting. And why / how come?14:30
rtgxnox, ogasawara dropped it completely as of 3.2.0-17.26, but there are no notes in the changelog as to why.14:31
rtglikely because its now a DKMS package ?14:31
ogasawarartg: yep, dkms if I recall correctly14:31
ogasawarartg: and I thought we'd dropped it a few releases ago actually14:32
xnoxogasawara: rtg: ok. since it's dropped, can you drop the provides from the linux-image package?14:32
xnoxdo you need a bug for that?14:32
rtgxnox, that would be good for an SRU14:32
xnoxack.14:32
ogasawaraxnox: yes please.  it'll make sure it stays on our radar and is useful for SRU paperwork14:32
xnoxogasawara: rtg: bug 107639514:35
ubot2Launchpad bug 1076395 in linux (Ubuntu Raring) "ndiswrapper module is not provided any more" [Low,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/107639514:35
ogasawaraxnox: thanks14:35
xnoxafter checking ndiswrapper there is dogpile of bugs along the lines "ndiswrapper module is missing"14:36
xnox*sigh*14:37
rtgogasawara, I can crank those out if you wish. I'm kind of idle  waiting on arm test builds.14:37
ogasawarartg: sweet, its all yours then14:37
ogasawarartg: I've been hammering on these haswell patches.  I've got the v3.6 and v3.7 ones applied, but of course the i915 driver is then oopsing on load.  so am digging further.14:38
rtgogasawara, have fun with that :)14:39
BenCrtg: will the master package still build linux-libc-dev on powerpc? I ask because when I enable it on .ppc it errors out saying that it's not supposed to build outside of the master build14:46
rtgBenC, I would think it ought to be provided by your source package.14:46
rtgapw, whaddya think ? ^^14:46
BenCecho "non-master branch building linux-libc-dev, aborting"14:50
=== edamato-brb is now known as edamato
BenCWhat is going to happen on powerpc when it tries to build master? Maybe it will actually produce the package?14:51
rtgBenC, I don't think it will. I was just checking, but it looks like _all_ support for powerpc has been removed except for the config enforcer.14:52
BenCI'm going to checkout master-next and see what it does when I run binary-arch...14:52
apwyeah that is in there to stop derivatives producing them ... i note that we did used to produce them linux-libc-dev for arm14:53
rtgBenC, if there is no rules file in debian.master/rules.d/ for power, then it ain't gonna do nothing.14:53
apweven when we did not have arm in our package flavour wise.  perhaps it makes sense for us to do the same here14:53
apwas getting versioning wrong on that is fatal across the board14:53
apwrtg, so perhaps we should have a flavour free powerpc in ours to make that14:54
BenCI would suspect that is the ideal solution14:54
BenCI can create the commit for that and send a pull request when I can test that it works as expected14:55
apwsomething similar to what we have just done for aarm64 should be sufficient14:55
apwin theory at least14:55
rtgBenC, works for me14:56
apwBenC, thanks, did you see my update to your enforcer patch14:56
BenCWhat is the plan of action for ABI handling in this package? Should I just hold off anything I do that causes an ABI bump until one is incremented in master?14:56
BenCapw: I did, thanks14:56
apwi appologise in advance for the opacity of the syntax14:57
apwinfinity, did i not see you dropping the dkms headers linkage during UDS ?14:57
apwogasawara, rtg, i have spun through the main blueprints and kicked them into shape, copied out the work-items and moved them approved and the like14:58
rtgBenC, ABI handling for a separate source package should be independent of master, right ?14:58
ogasawaraapw: thanks14:58
apwrtg, that reminds me, does ppc produce a common headers or share ours ?14:59
BenCSo if I bump the ABI in powerpc, it won't cause any random conflicts with master, but how do I detect that master ABI bumped and then also ABI bump my side?14:59
rtgBenC, after you rebase and build ? if thereis an ABI change then the ABI checker should catch it.14:59
apwrtg, as if it shares ours it needs to be insync abi wise, if not, then the common headers needs to be renamed or have a different avi series14:59
apwabi14:59
rtgapw, maybe thats why ppc should produce its own header packages15:00
apwPackage: linux-headers-3.7.0-015:00
apwnot linux-libc-dev, that should be ours, but the common headers15:01
apwthat needs to be a differnt name15:01
rtglinux-headers-ppc ?15:01
apwrtg i think it should ve SRCPKG-headers15:02
apwor whatever the sub variable is15:02
rtgapw, what  are you doing for rt ?15:02
rtgor lowlatency rather15:02
apwrtg, right now they are sharing our headers, which we need to fix anyhow15:02
apwelse they will prevent our kernel getting out of -proposed15:02
apwBenC_, hi15:02
rtgapw, ok, then the same for ppc15:02
apwBenC_, ok i think there is a bug here.  we need to change the link from linux-headers-PKGVER-ABINUM-FLAVOUR from Depends: linux-headers-PKGVER-ABINUM -> SRCPKGNAME-headers-PKGVER-ABINUM15:03
apwBenC_, and change the name of it in stub to the same15:04
apwso that it produces non-overlapping common headers naming15:04
BenC_Ok15:04
BenC_makes sense15:04
rtgand fix your meta accordingly15:04
=== BenC_ is now known as BenC
apwelse you and we will argue over common headers and bad poop will happen15:04
BenCright15:04
apwrtg, i don't think that file is mentioned in meta anywhere15:05
BenCbad poop is never good15:05
apwit is not the names of the per-flavour ones, just the shared common one15:05
apwrtg, you going to reneable the linux-libc-dev in our packaging yes ?15:05
BenCIt is only mentioned in the linux-headers-*-FLAVOUR depends15:05
apwBenC, right, so i think that is the only one we can clash with15:05
apwas flavour names are necessarily unique otherwise the installer gets all miffed15:06
apwBenC, perhaps once you have done that you could build a set of packages and put them somewhere so we can review thats the only issues -- before we upload them and break the archive :)15:06
apwwe made a bit of a pigs ear of lucid this way15:07
BenCNo problem15:08
BenCapw, rtg: Same pull request as the last change will get the enablement of linux-libc-dev headers for master branch15:12
BenCThat's all it builds15:12
apwBenC, thanks ... 15:12
rtgBenC, got it15:13
* apw lets rtg handle it15:13
rtgapw, I'm gonna upload to the c-k-t de-virt PPA first to make sure we've got the powerpc bits correct.15:36
rtgI also put the whammy no +master-next to put Ubuntu-3.7.0-0.4 at HEAD15:37
rtgs/no/on/15:37
StFSdoes anybody know of a way to make apt prefer a locally installed package rather than a package with the same version number from the repository?15:39
StFSwoops... probably the wrong channel... although in my defence the packages _are_ the kernel packages ;)15:40
apwStFS, heh you would likely get more help elsewhere indeed.  i think the term for that is 'apt pinning' though quite what incantion you would need is beyond my apt foo15:45
StFSok, I'm sorry if this next question was already answered (I got logged out before I noticed one at least), but I submitted a patch to a bug a little while back which got applied and I was told it would show up in the Ubuntu kernel. However, the last kernel from the repo (3.5.0-18) does not seem to have this fix. Is there a way for me to see when my patch will end up in the official ubuntu kernel? The bug in question is this one: https://bugs.launchpad15:53
* ogasawara back in 2015:54
apwStFS, seems the bug number got truncated here15:54
apwrtg makes sense15:54
StFShere it is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/106037215:54
ubot2Launchpad bug 1060372 in linux (Ubuntu) "No audio from headphone jack on Ultrabase Series 3 with ThinkPad T430" [Medium,In progress]15:54
apwStFS, it does seem to be applied to quantal's master-next15:57
apwStFS, so it will be in the next kernel which hits proposed, which would be wrapped up sometime next week in the normal flow of things15:57
apwStFS, and it is pending for the first upload to raring as well.  so nearly there15:59
StFSapw: awesome :-) thanks.16:02
StFSapw: just out of curiosity (mostly), can you tell me how to figure this out myself? you know, teach a man to fish and all that :-)16:03
apwi've updated the bug to indicate the same.  you should watch the bug for quantal as you will be asked to confirm the -proposed kernel as built works for you16:03
apwi am looking at the kernel git repositories and looking for the patch by bug number16:03
apwhttp://kernel.ubuntu.com/git under ubuntu/ubuntu-<series>16:03
StFSok sorry, I'm an absolute n00b here.. watch the bug for quantal? so there's another one than the one on launchpad?16:04
bjfStFS, when the quantal kernel reaches -proposed, a comment will be added to the bug asking that you test that kernel to verify it fixes the issue16:10
apwStFS, heh, no that bug is the right one -- note it ha two tasks now, one for quantal and one for raring16:10
apwas bjf says there will be a request in your bug there16:11
bjfStFS, if we do not get a verification, we will revert the commit16:11
apwjsalisbury, hmmm when you did the patch for bug #1060372 you didn't use the BugLink: format, so it will not close the bugs out correctly ... you'll have to monitor and do that manually ...16:14
ubot2Launchpad bug 1060372 in linux (Ubuntu Quantal) "No audio from headphone jack on Ultrabase Series 3 with ThinkPad T430" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106037216:14
apwjsalisbury, for mainline, you can use it even there16:14
jsalisburyapw, so any patches send upstream should also contain the BugLink line?16:16
rtgjsalisbury, that is ideal16:16
apwjsalisbury, there is no harm indeed.  then when we get the fixed via mianline or stable we find out16:16
StFSbjf, apw: ok awesome... I'll wait for that comment and verify as soon as it appears16:17
jsalisburyrtg, apw, got it.  I'll be sure to include it from now on16:17
apwjsalisbury, for upstreaming i tend to include it in the s-o-b area so it tends to get left alone16:17

apwlooks good rtg 16:33
rtgapw, I'm about uploading BenC's branch as well.16:33
rtgto the PPA I mean16:33
rtgI'm thinking*16:33
rtgcan't freaking type today16:33
apwrtg, as we might kill the PPA if its wrong, i'd wait till we see benc's builds16:34
apwi'd hate to have to respec that PPA16:34
rtgapw, can't we just delete the packages ?16:34
apwif the version are wrong and higher than we want, its just as irrevokable as the main archive, i am told16:34
rtgwell, that doesn't provide much isolation16:35
apwnow i can't say as to having tested that of course16:36
apwbut that is what i am told.  that the version cannot be lower bit still exists16:36
apwyou can zap a ppa and remake it, and for any other PPA that is easy, but that one, not so much16:36
rtgapw, if versioning carnage were possible then anyone could wreak havoc on the archive16:37
apwrtg, i am not saying it breaks the archive, i am saying you could break the PPA itself16:38
rtgapw, hmm16:38
apwrtg, they are very archive-esk in design16:50
apwif davis wasn't broken i'd suggest building there16:51
apwbut with 4 flavours you are going to be in a world of pain either ways16:51
rtgapw, I thought infinity provisioned a new poerpc porter, or was that just a buildd ?16:52
rtgpowerpc*16:52
apwrtg, hmmm, a good point indeed16:52
infinityrtg: No, davis is the only porter.  It's dead?17:25
apwinfinity, it was yesterday indeed17:25
apwit looks to be back today17:25
apwinfinity, is it still the same sluggard it has always been?17:25
infinityIt's not magically turned into something better than an Xserve.17:26
infinityapw: Also, yes, I dropped the dkms->headers dep.  Is this having a sad somehow?17:26
apwinfinity, no there is a work item in your name for it, i'll close it17:26
apwinfinity, done17:27
apwinfinity, i also added that Suggests: link for raring for our first upload17:28
infinityapw: image suggesting headers?  I was going to test that that actually does what I want it to do (keeps the headers installed on autoremove), but it certainly doesn't hurt, and feels like a sane suggests anyway.17:29
apwinfinity, indeed, well it helps to have some old kernels with it, so i'll let it be17:30
infinityapw: I'd suggest that the suggests should be a recommends (which would definitely have the desired effect), but minimalist folks would probably scream about having to install kernels with --no-install-recommends then. :P17:33
infinityrtg, apw: Is someone on top of fixing the raring kernel on ARM?17:34
apwinfinity, fixing ?17:34
rtginfinity, test building on non-virt PPA right now17:34
infinityrtg: Yay.17:34
infinityAnd if it weren't the for LP bug preventing me from seeing /builders, I'd know that.17:35
rtginfinity, its still grinding away in https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ppa/+packages17:36
apwahh its in, woopeedoo17:36
infinityDoes this upload include the discussed -generic image for ARM, or will that happen later?17:38
rtginfinity, somewhat later (if at all). amitk was not very optimistic.17:38
infinity(Granted, it would be a generic with one platform, since we dropped highbank, but whatever, I don't want to fight that political battle today, I just want the bits in place some time)17:38
infinityrtg: Alright, fair enough.  Just want to know what I need to mangle in d-i.  So, for now, I just need to drop highbank from d-i, and the rest is business as usual?17:39
infinityOh, and I need to decouple powerpc from master.  Ugh.17:39
rtginfinity, thats sound about right17:39
infinityYay for creating more work in the name of reducing workload. :P17:39
apwrtg, ignore -signed for raring for the moment, as although i think it is ready cjwatson wants to interlock before upload in case it breaks the images17:44
rtgapw, works for me. its pushed to the repo17:44
apwrtg, yep all pushed just not closed out once your bits are built and in -proposed then i'll upload it to the ppa for final testing17:45
apwrtg, if that build works in the PPA i assume you'll just copy it out into -proposed ?18:03
