jsalisburyrtg_, apw, fyi. there are a lot of bug reports this morning of failures to upgrade to 3.8.0-15.  bug 1161306 for example.14:13
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1161306 in linux (Ubuntu) "package linux-image-3.8.0-15-generic (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 128" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/116130614:13
rtg_jsalisbury, hmm. what failed ?14:14
jsalisburyrtg_, it looks like a failure in a python script: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/135490864/DpkgTerminalLog.txt14:15
jsalisburyrtg_, maybe not related to the kernel?14:15
apwjsalisbury, it looks like it might be a dpkg issue14:15
rtg_jsalisbury, where are you seeing that ?14:16
rtg_DpkgTerminalLog.txt14:16
jsalisburyrtg_, that is in the DpkgTerminalLog.txt file14:16
jsalisbury:-)14:16
rtg_jsalisbury, yeah, doesn't look like a kernel issue. nothing changed wrt packaging.14:17
jsalisburyapw, rtg_, thanks for looking.  I'll chase it down with dpkg14:18
apwjsalisbury, it looks to be a bit worrying if it is generic14:18
jsalisburyapw, yeah.  And there are a bunch of duplicate reports in a small time frame14:19
rtg_apw, jsalisbury: last dpkg upload was 22 Mar14:19
apwyeah that is a while ago ... thought14:19
jsalisburyhmm14:20
jsalisburyit looks like the first bug report on this was around 1AM UTC14:21
rtg_jsalisbury, you should try to attract infinity's attention on this one14:21
jsalisburyrtg_, ack14:22
jsalisburyinfinity, infinity help! bug 116130614:22

apwjsalisbury, already poked him on #ubuntu-devel14:23
jsalisburyapw, :) thanks14:23
rtg_jsalisbury, my laptop updated correctly. it even autoremoved old kernels correctly when requested.14:34
jsalisburyrtg_, ok.  I'm going to see if I can reproduce it as well14:34
dobeyapw: hi. did you have a specific patch in mind for my ivybridge link train issues? i could probably rebuild a kernel locally to test with it if so14:46
rtg_apw, ogasawara: looks like the N7 kernel is under control for now, so I'm gonna see if I can finish the N4 kernel packaging and get it tested.15:00
ogasawarartg_: sounds good15:01
* rtg_ spent the morning thus far reading the various power articles and emails15:01
ogasawarartg_: I'm gearing up for some meeting hell this morning, but I was thinking of hammering on a raring lbm this afternoon.  at least looking into an updated compat wireless stack for it.15:02
rtg_ogasawara, do you think its worth the bother for an interim release ?15:02
ogasawarartg_: we've always done it, so I figured it wouldn't hurt15:03
bjfogasawara, it's one more thing that we'd have to support 15:03
ogasawarartg_: and it seems we always get a request for some driver to land in it at the last minute15:03
rtg_I'm thinking that folks ought to be using our backport kernels instead15:03
ogasawarartg_: wasn't tseliot wanting it for something this cycle, I can't remember the details15:04
rtg_ogasawara, he has a blueprint for modaliases that I've been dragging my feet on15:04
rtg_I'm becoming less enthused about LBM in light of our kernel backports15:04
ogasawarartg_: actually, Intel requested wifi drivers from 3.9 for 13.04 in my call last night.  and I mentioned lbm would be the path of least resistance.15:05
rtg_ogasawara, if they are new then why don't we dump them in the main kernel repo ?15:06
ogasawarartg_: I'm fine with that too15:06
rtg_ogasawara, did they give you some pointers as to which driver(s) were of inetrest ?15:07
ogasawarartg_: I think they were vague saying wilkens peak support, but not direct pointers to patches15:08
ogasawarartg_: so I'll circle back with them and then look to getting our main kernel updated and hold off on an lbm15:08
rtg_ogasawara, only 96 patches to drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi sine v3.8 :)15:09

sconklinwhat sort of issues?15:55
ppisatisconklin: since the previous kernel wasn't released it can't find the pkg to extract&c to get abis&c15:55
ppisatisconklin: i moved it manually to kernel.ubuntu.com15:55

ppisatisconklin: but it keeps saying it can't find it15:56
ppisatisconklin: what does --local do exactly?15:57
sconklinppetraki: we had this problem with regular precise. I fixed it by ignoring ABIs since we knew we had an ABI bump. But I think there's a better way.15:57
sconklinoops ppisati ^^15:58
sconklinppisati:  I'd have to look at getabis to see how it works15:58
sconklindoing that15:58
sconklinlocal just runs it against the local repos as opposed to those on anotehr host you have ssh access to16:02
sconklinppisati: using --ckt-ppa should fetch them from the PPA, which should have the ones you want16:04

rtg_ogra_, now to figure out how to update the touch kernel image. any thoughts ?17:15
ogra_no, and i need a device for that 17:15
* cking in london at mo, so can't test it17:15
ogra_you can try abootimg ... 17:15
ogra_iterate over all /dev/block/mmcblk0p* devices with abootimg -i and see if it recognizes an android bootimg signature 17:16
ogra_if you find one thats a good first step17:16

ppisatibut it didnt' when i tried17:17
ogra_ppisati, well, abootimg doesnt recognize the bootimg partition on my galaxy S2 at all here17:17
ppisatiogra_: no no17:17
ppisatiogra_: it recognizes it17:17
ogra_its totally device specific17:17
ppisatiogra_: but i'll have to tinker a bit more with it17:17
ppisatiogra_: but i really had no time these days17:17
ogra_ppisati, thats N4 ... LG device ... might be completely different 17:18
ogra_N7 is easy and we should get it to work ... i can even help with that since i have one here 17:18
ogra_(i have an N4 too, but thats my private phone and i definitely wont tinker with it)17:18

Sarvattogasawara, rtg_: cw actually got a lot more interesting recently when they started doing compat-drivers also, it builds backported drm drivers too which could potentially save some headaches backporting things into the main kernel. just plopping in cd instead of cw builds all the juicy stuff :)17:41
Sarvattits not really documented that well but i was playing with it a few days ago https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/stable/v3.8.3/ChangeLog-3.8.3-217:45
Sarvattthings like pulling most of drm changes from 3.6 into 3.5 for i915_hsw could have been avoided with that. well not really because theres no lts-quantal lbm and it wasn't around at the time but in the future..17:50
davmor2Hey guys I hit an issue with an install on my ideapad Y580 with secure boot  cjwatson is under the impression is might be a kernel/firmware issue from the info he got from the installers syslog see http://ubuntuone.com/7AYGMhTAuDswfLCCn9y8W5  but it basically means it isn't booting into Ubuntu18:08
davmor2I get the folowing message appear on reboot post install "Ubuntu has been blocked by the current security policy."18:09
davmor2jsalisbury: do you know who would be the best person to talk to about this would be ^18:24
jsalisburydavmor2, just curious, is there a bug open?18:45
jsalisburydavmor2, also, did this just start happening on this machine recently?  Was there a prior release that worked with Secure Boot?18:46
davmor2jsalisbury: Not looked for a bug.  I did a fresh install about 2 weeks 4 days ago ready to do the for purchase app migration testing , that is complete and a machine with 500+ apps on is a bit clunky so I've done a fresh install of todays iso and got this19:02
jsalisburydavmor2, so this didn't happen on this machine with images prior to todays iso?19:03
davmor2jsalisbury: I've done maybe 20 installs on this machine testing uefi + secure boot and the result went to the canonical mailing list :)  So Nope todays is the first that has played up19:07
jsalisburydavmor2, thanks for the info.  Can you open a bug for this, since it appears to be a regression. I can then perform a bisect to identify the commit that introduced this.19:08
davmor2jsalisbury: let me get the the exact date I last installed I think there has only been 1 or maybe 2 kernel upgrades since then.  Is there any info you would need from the installed system as I can't actually access it except from the live cd19:10
davmor2jsalisbury: Friday the 8th was when I updated and installed ready for the testing19:11
jsalisburydavmor2, just the kernel version.  You might be able to get it to boot if you disable secure boot in theBIOS19:11
davmor2jsalisbury: ah true give me 5 minutes then.19:11
* henrix -> EOW19:12
jsalisburydavmor2, thanks.  and it would be great if you can open a bug so we can track all of this info.  I'll post some links to test kernels in the bug for the kernel bisect.19:12
davmor2jsalisbury: it looks like disabling secureboot has got me into the system so I'll report a bug from there now19:13
jsalisburydavmor2, cool, thanks19:13
davmor2jsalisbury: bug #116156619:24
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1161566 in linux (Ubuntu) "Regression on enabling the system for secureboot" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/116156619:24
jsalisburydavmor2, thanks19:24
davmor2jsalisbury: I included the installer syslog too 19:24
davmor2jsalisbury: let me know if there is anything else you need, and I want be around now till Tuesday.19:25
davmor2s/want/won't19:25
jsalisburydavmor2, will do.  I'll post any questions/requests to the bug, so you can review them when you have time19:25
davmor2jsalisbury: no worries19:26
jsalisburydavmor2, this may have been introduced by upstream 3.8.3 or 3.8.4 stable.  It would be great to test them.  I'll post links to the kernels in the bug19:28
davmor2jsalisbury: actually do you know when the lastest kernel image hit the cd?  If there is an older cd image about that has the kernel image before I can try that and see if it is just the latest kernel19:28
jsalisburydavmor2, i'm not sure which kernels are on which cd images.  The latest image you used was based off upstream 3.8.4, so testing 3.8.3 and 3.8.2 should tell us which one has the commit that introduced this19:30
davmor2jsalisbury: 3.8.0-15-generic19:31
davmor2jsalisbury: with uname -a the date there is that the date the kernel was built19:31
davmor2okay so I'm grabbing the 27ths cd and I'll check what kernel is on there19:33
jsalisburydavmor2 3.8.0-14.24 and 3.8.0-15.25 were based off of upstream 3.8.4, so I think they would both have this bug. 3.8.0-13.22 was rebased to upstream v3.8.3 and 3.8.0-12.21 was rebased to upstream v3.8.2.19:35
davmor2jsalisbury: the issue I'm going to hit is figuring out how to apply the other kernels and get them to magically rebuild the missing bit 19:48
davmor2or is that some thing the kernel + grub should handle19:49
jsalisburydavmor2, yes, you can do a 'sudo dpkg -i' kernel-package-name.deb and it will install the kernel and update grub 20:02
jsalisburydavmor2, this wiki page might be helpful as well: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds 20:03

infinityYeah, was a shot in the dark.23:47
infinityThe fundamental issue seems to be, potentially, a corrupted debconf DB, but if a bunch of people all got corruption at the same time, that points at a package bug... Somewhere.23:49
