| caribou | where is the linux-meta package maintained ? In launchpad or somewhere in the kernel tree ? | 09:16 |
| smb | caribou, neither. In a git repo seperate to the kernel | 09:16 |
| caribou | smb: and how one propose a patch ? (can you see the linux-crashdump dependency on kdump-tools coming ;-) ) ? | 09:17 |
| smb | caribou, Right, I actually was thinking of submitting that soon | 09:18 |
| caribou | smb: ok, then, I won't bother | 09:18 |
| caribou | smb: afaik, once this is done, kdump-tools should be pulled in main | 09:18 |
| caribou | smb: since linux-crashdump will depend on it, and the makedumpfile source is already in main | 09:19 |
| smb | caribou, Not sure how strict dependency issues are for a meta package but it sounds reasonable to have those things that are core functions in main | 09:20 |
| caribou | smb: don't know about meta package either, I can check | 09:21 |
| ashwini_ | any clue regarding default stack size in the kernel 3.x and 2.6.28+ ? | 09:21 |
| smb | caribou, Talking to apw it sounds like having the dependency in meta will require some parts to be in main. Just not sure whether this can only be the source package or not. So maybe that should be resolved before changing the meta package. | 09:29 |
| smb | caribou, Just as for what needs to be in main and what would that mean (mostly security updates? and would we think there are?) | 09:30 |
| caribou | smb: I just pinged pitti in #ubuntu-devel; he seems to think so | 09:30 |
| caribou | smb: well, the security updates would make it in from makedumpfile which is already in main anyway, isn't it ? | 09:31 |
| smb | caribou, From that side yes. Guess the only thing I can think of right now is the tools placing dumps with not enough limited access... | 09:32 |
| apw | ashwini_, i belive they can be either 4K or 8K on x86 I believe we use 8K but i am struggling to find the confirmation | 09:44 |
| apw | ashwini_, THREAD_SIZE is the relevant define | 09:47 |
| ashwini_ | apw: THREAD_SIZE is 8k, I belive in new kernels the stack size is 4k instead of 8k. just want to confirm once. Any way Thanks | 09:49 |
| apw | ashwini_, in v3.8-rc's it seems unchanged | 09:49 |
| ashwini_ | apw : is STACK size 8k ? or THREAD_SIZE 8k ? any link? | 09:50 |
| apw | THREAD_SIZE is 8K, which is the kernel stack size, which is documented in kernel source in Documention/x86/x86_64/kernel-stacks and obviously set in the arch specific headers in the source | 09:51 |
| apw | arch/x86/include/asm/page_32_types.h:#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 1 | 09:52 |
| apw | arch/x86/include/asm/page_64_types.h:#define THREAD_SIZE_ORDER 1 | 09:52 |
| apw | here defined in allocator order, 0 == 4K 1 == 8K on x86 | 09:52 |

| apw | ogra_, that patch looks to be from a completely different kernel version, cirtainly none of the things it changes seem to exist | 11:57 |
| apw | ogra_, after a fair bit of looking i cannot trivially find anything remotly similar to apply it by hand | 12:42 |
| ogra_ | apw, ok | 13:05 |
| apw | ogra_, i recon it would be appropriate to do the testing as recommended in the bug | 13:14 |
| apw | ogra_, it can only eliminate something | 13:14 |
| AlexMG | Hi guys, I was trying to use the fetch=url parameter, to netboot filesystem from the ubuntu-livecd. But it seems as the fetch parameter is just ignored. Are changes needed inside the initrd or do I just use the wrong kernel options?

| ogra_ | well, the kernel patch is for consoles, which dont work at all anyway (you cant switch to console once X is up, restriction of the driver ) | 13:15 |

| henrix | rtg_: no idea what went wrong there... | 13:30 |
| henrix | i guess i'll just retry | 13:30 |
| herton | henrix, it's a build failure in alx driver | 13:30 |
| rtg_ | henrix, looks like a bonafide linker error | 13:30 |

| henrix | herton: oh, crap! you're right | 13:31 |
| henrix | looks like its failing only on ppc. amd64, i386 and armhf are fine | 13:32 |
| henrix | which doesnt' make sense | 13:32 |
| apw | henrix, could be believeable if it is a locking primative or similar which was changed between working and not; those are arch specific | 13:37 |
| apw | henrix, and have arch specific external symbol requirements | 13:37 |
| henrix | apw: yep. i'm rebuilding it in gomeisa as i deleted the build logs, just to make sure. | 13:38 |
| apw | henrix, or indeed that driver may be only on in PPC | 13:39 |
| apw | henrix, and isn't that a driver which was applied like only Feb 04 | 13:40 |
| henrix | apw: yep, that's the one | 13:40 |
| apw | henrix, i don't see how this is valid on any release | 13:43 |
| apw | as it blatently uses vzmalloc without includeing vmalloc.h | 13:43 |
| henrix | apw: yeah, so maybe you're right: it may be built only for ppc. i'm investigating | 13:44 |
| henrix | apw: so, my theory is that one of the headers included by the alx driver will bring net/ip6_checksum.h and linux/vmalloc.h on some archs but not for powerpc | 14:26 |
| henrix | apw: if you look at the buildlogs for amd64 for example, the driver compiles successfully | 14:27 |
| henrix | apw: i'll test a patch on a ppc box that will just include these 2 headers (that should be in the driver anyway) | 14:28 |
| rtg_ | henrix, I think perhaps you could just disable the alx driver build for all but x86'en | 14:28 |
| henrix | rtg_: well, that's another solution. would you prefer that? i guess it will be useless in ppc anyway | 14:29 |

| ohsix | /proc/<pid>/wchan, top displays it i think | 17:05 |
| ohsix | if it's waiting on something in the kernel it will have a name, it wouldn't be unkillable unless it's in a syscall that won't exit | 17:06 |

| === sabayonuser3 is now known as Tuxkalle | ||
| slangasek | so I guess the next question is, can I kill the X server or is it similarly wedged | 17:09 |
| ohsix | there's no transitive property of signal-undelivery between firefox and X or any other process i know of | 17:11 |
| slangasek | sure | 17:11 |
| ohsix | what's perf top say firefox is doing | 17:11 |
| slangasek | but the firefox and X processes seem to be in a similarly useless state | 17:11 |
| slangasek | (using lots of CPU according to top, but not using it for anything I would like it to) | 17:11 |
| slangasek | ohsix: I don't have perf installed and apt offers me two choices - linux-base and linux-tools-common. Does it matter which I take? | 17:12 |
| slangasek | oh, looks like one of these might be a ghost and linux-tools-common is the right one | 17:12 |
| ohsix | it's in linux-tools-common | 17:12 |
| rtg_ | slangasek, should be linux-tools-common | 17:12 |
| slangasek | er, except it isn't in fact | 17:13 |
| slangasek | packaging bug? | 17:13 |
| ohsix | i got that same offer after a reinstall, didn't look into why it suggested linux-base; there's a wrapper script and a versioned binary to go with the kernel, i'm guessing they moved around a little | 17:13 |

| slangasek | er, that doesn't have it *either* | 17:14 |
| infinity | No, it sure doesn't... Did we disable perf again, due to libaudit deps? | 17:15 |
