chilukanyone know if there is some sort of metering on the kernel-team list?  I used git send-email to send a patch request about 30 minutes ago, and it still hasn't shown up.06:03
chilukoh well, if it's not there by the morning I guess I'll resend.06:05

smbinfinity, No, it actually uses other timer related functions which need librt. The configure script test was just wrong.08:16

ppisatiapw: moin09:22
apwppisati, i am going to look at your arm -arm branch today, it needs some serious reading09:23
ppisatiapw: ack09:23
ppisatiapw: since i'll pull more patches in the future, another option is that we spin an arm-multiplatform topic branch09:24
ppisatiapw: that will predate the omap4 branch09:25
ppisatiapw: so i'll have more freedom to pull in patches from upstream and vendors09:25
ppisatiapw: without hurting master (and the stable team)09:25
apwppisati, it is quite close right now, it would be a shame to miss the chance to have them in one, but i can see your desire too09:25
ppisatiapw: yep, just wait until bjf complains :)09:26
apwppisati, i assume versatile and the like will always be 'no delta'09:26
apwppisati, so we could probabally have a -generic for arm with whatever is close, and then if something gets too big we could split that off09:26
ppisatiapw: yes, versatile is 100% upstream09:26
apwppisati, anyhow either way the branch contains the same stuff :)09:26
apwso the review and test side is not about the destination09:27
apwppisati, i suspect we will try it as part of master for the experience and make a judgement nearer release if we want to pull some or all out09:28
ppisatiapw: i agree09:29
apwand indeed leann has pulled it in already :)  now to re-review it09:33

apwpsivaa, hmmm, no, i think we know what to do about that iirc, what did i decide i needed10:17
smbapw, I think that was the cirrus vs. efi fb issue10:20
apwsmb, yeah.  and i think i had a change for that, somewhere, dammit10:20
psivaaapw: smb: ok thanks, it would also help if you could comment on/assign the bug please10:23

apwpsivaa, done12:03
apwogasawara, i am reviewing the ppisati pull you applied12:03
psivaaapw: thank you12:09
ogra_is the handling of DTB in our packages documented somewhere ? i get asked frequently about how we handle that by arm people that rol their own kernel packages12:12
tjaaltonI have a fresh quantal installation, ran dist-upgrade on it and it didn't pull the latest headers, although linux-headers-generic got updated12:53
tjaaltonnow 'apt-get --fix-policy install' would fix the situation, but how is it possible to get in this situation? I enabled fglrx for testing stuff and things were "broken" :)12:54
tjaalton-situation12:54
tjaaltonmaybe not the right channel to ask12:55
ogra_tjaalton, well, do you have the metapackage installed ?12:58
ogra_linux-generic ?12:58
tjaaltonogra_: no12:58
ogra_why ?12:59
tjaaltonbut linux-headers-generic, which depends on 12:59
tjaalton..the headers package12:59
tjaaltonit's a fresh install, it doesn't seem to pull it12:59
ogra_its a requirement 12:59
tjaaltonhow so?12:59
tjaaltonl-h-g did get updated, but it didn't pull the dependency12:59
ogra_linux-$flavour is what gets installed during the build process13:00
ogra_and this pulls in everything else (including the headers)13:00
* henrix -> lunch13:00
ogra_its very weird if you dont have it after a fresh install, thats definitely a bug 13:00
tjaaltonit's a tree of metapackages, l-h-g is installed and that alone should've pulled the real one13:00
ogra_well, linux-$flavour missing wil break on dist-upgrades at some point, it has to be there13:01
tjaalton--fix-policy suggests a bunch of other packages too, like ecryptfs-utils etc13:01
tjaaltonit just depends on l-i-$f, l-h-$f13:02
ogra_well, i dont get how you got into that situation at all 13:02
tjaaltonme neither :)13:02
ogra_linux-$flavour cant tecnically be missing on a fresh install unless you forcefully remove it13:02
tjaaltondpkg.log doesn't show it being removed13:03
ogra_you should talk to the guys fiddling with the UEFI stuff, i bet it is related to changes there, but technically if linux-$flavour is missing you have a bigger prob13:04
tjaaltonI'll ask on -release13:04
ogra_++13:04
apwtjaalton, i am interested13:15
apwtjaalton, could you paste which packages you do have installed13:15
apwoh i might have an idea, what is causeing it13:16
apwtjaalton, so i need the list of headers packages and versions you have so i can check13:16
tjaaltonapw: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1589593/13:18
tjaaltonone thing that might cause issues is that I did change it to use my local mirror before the dist-upgrade, and it doesn't have i386 mirrored13:19
apwso waht do you think is missing13:19
tjaaltonnothing anymore :)13:20
tjaaltonI can reinstall it to check again13:20
tjaaltonactually, l-h-3.5.0-17-generic isn't installed13:21
tjaaltonwhich should be there from the installation? dpkg.log shows it13:21
apwyeah i would have expected it to be, but i don't think i can be to blame for removing it13:22
apwoh and i bet it is too old13:22
apwso it doesn't have the Suggests: from linux-image which would normally13:22
apwstop it being deinstalled (in later kernels in that series and in raring013:23
apwso that is a known 'corner case' where apt-get autoremove can zap some of your headers13:23
apwbut it should be older headers not newer ones13:23
tjaaltonah13:23
apwand you should have gotten the new one installed without effort13:23
tjaaltonfunny that dpkg.log doesn't show the removals13:23
apwand that if not working is worrying13:23
brendandhenrix, ping13:40
henrixbrendand: hey!13:41
brendandhenrix, i was thinking, it would be useful if we could get an email when our task in the tracking bugs goes to Confirmed. is it possible to implement that in your scripts?13:42
brendandhenrix, it's just bug mail so easily gets lost13:42
henrixbrendand: right, this would require changing the bot, which is maintained mainly by herton.13:44
hertonbrendand, let me know which email you want a notification sent and I'll add13:45
henrixbrendand: i use mailfilters myself ;)13:45
brendandhenrix, sure - but getting a whole team all set up with the proper mail filters...13:47
henrix:)13:47
apwppisati, this -omap merge, if i build that does it work on omap4 as well ?14:09
ppisatiapw: yes14:09
* apw will test that14:09
ppisatiapw: audio, video, usb, srial, etcetc14:09
apwppisati, great14:10
ppisatiapw: beware that you'll have to use the hdmi output close to the edge of the board, they swapped it in 3.514:10
apwppisati, thanks for the warning, piece of junk14:11

sabariHi 14:51
sabariI am running Ubuntu 12.04 and when I run Oprofile to understand the CPU Utilization, I found that more time is spent on mem_cgroup_uncharge_common14:52
sabarican some one explain what this is?14:52
sabariWe want our processes to be run effectively and more than 50% of the cpu is currently used by the system14:53
sabariI also see free_pcppages_bulk as well 14:56
ohsixwhen the system is mostly sleeping, the apparent cpu usage of the things it's doing between sleeps will be higher14:59
sabariOhsix is this for me?15:00
ohsixyes15:01
sabariI did profile the process which said that it is using 100% CPU15:02
bjfbrendand, can't your email client filter for those specific bug emails and flag them for you? 15:30
bjfbrendand, i'm not wild about special casing bot code for individuals15:30
brendandbjf, ok - i'll see what i can do to avoid it15:32

qenghoppetraki: Hi hi.  I'm trying to boot a Pandaboard with a raring desktop image.  ogra_ suggested I talk to you about today's image on cdimage not starting or kernel hanging or something.16:04
qenghoEr, ppisati, sorry, I meant you.  ^16:05
ogra_ppisati, could anything regarding the changes you work on be at fault here (do we need to switch the builds to new kernels or so)16:06
ppisatiqengho: nope, since the R kernel is a Q kernel16:06
ppisatiqengho: do you have serial output?16:07
qenghoppisati: Er, no.  I haven't even seen a DB9 cable this decade.  :(16:08
ppisatiqengho: did you first try a Q image on that board? did it work?16:09
ppisatiqengho: anyhow, modify uEnv.txt and delete "quiet splash", if you are lucky you should get some output on the lcd16:10
ppisatiqengho: or was it preEnv.txt? don't remember, check both16:10
ogra_the latter16:11
qenghoppisati: Er, okay.  I don't get any HDMI output at all, even a sync signal, at present.  FWIW.16:11
ogra_ppisati, the heartbeat LED gets stuck16:11
ogra_that sounds like its even before initrd16:11
ogra_could be the bootloader indeed, hard to say without info from serial 16:12
qenghoI'll try to find a Q image.  Pointers accepted.16:12
ogra_but afaik the bootloader hasnt changed since precise or so16:12
ppisatiqengho: don't you get a purple screen?16:13

ppetrakiqengho, it happens a lot :)16:16
cndsforshee: apw: I can help review the patch delta16:17
cndis there a list of the patches somewhere?16:17
sforsheecnd, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/Specs/RaringKernelDeltaReview16:17
sforsheecnd, I'd appreciate the help. It looks like a couple of patches that stalled when you tried to upstream them.16:18
cndsure, let me take a look16:18
sforsheeherton, there's a patch that's been posted for stable that improves wireless performance during background scans. I don't think there's been a backport to 3.5, but the patch for 3.4 applies cleanly.16:20
sforsheeherton, http://www.mail-archive.com/stable@vger.kernel.org/msg30134.html16:20
hertonsforshee, ack, will look into queuing it16:22
sforsheeherton, thanks. It really does help a lot. I had posted an equivalent patch before finding out about that one.16:22
cndsforshee: so those two synaptics patches are meant to make the 3 or 4 year old dell mini netbooks with a two-button clickpad work properly16:24
cndsuperm1 told me those types of trackpads will never be made again, because they were terrible16:24
sforsheeheh16:24
cndand yeah, it looks like it stalled due to people not following up upstream16:25
cndI have one of these netbooks, and I'd rather say at this point it's practically so slow as to be unusable16:25
cndand I have the newer model :)16:25
cndso I guess at this point we can decide to keep the patches to keep the machines humming along alright16:25
cndbut either now or later we might as well drop the patches16:26
cndthe patches merely set an informational property bit16:26
cndand users can still manually enable clickpad mode in the X synaptics drivers16:26
sforsheehmm... they're easy enough to keep around I guess16:27
sforsheeit doesn't sound like there's much use in trying to further pursue it upstream though16:28
sforsheecnd, thanks for the help. I guess I'll recommend hanging onto them as long as they keep applying cleanly.16:29
cndk16:30
sforsheemaybe some people are still trying to run ubuntu on those machines, who knows16:30
cndyou never know16:30
* ppisati rushes out, be back later16:30
sforsheeapw, I updated the raring delta review suggesting that we keep cnd's patches as long as they aren't causing any problems and mark them no-up. Anything else I need to do to follow up?16:46
ogasawarasforshee: thanks for that, I'll go ahead and mark em no-up.  that should take care of the review, go ahead and mark that as done.16:55
