penguin42hmph my dsl seems to have dropped down to 7.9Mbps from about 10-11Mbps15:54
MartijnVdSaww15:54
mgdmI have no idea how fast my DSL is these days15:56
mgdmit's > 10Mbps so I'm happy :_015:56
mgdm:-) even15:56
mgdmI'm not demanding15:56
penguin42mgdm: Well exactly, 10-11Mbps is it's norm with about 1Mbps up - and at that I'm pretty happy; dropping down to under 8 is nasty!15:57

penguin42haha17:26
Azelphurthey really are trying ;)17:27
MartijnVdStoo bad cases like this are quite high-profile17:27
MartijnVdSand Wikipedia editors are hawks17:27

MartijnVdSUnbelieving bug triagers19:04
MartijnVdSI've added *all* necessary info, triager goes "Can you try again?"19:04
MartijnVdSI could.. but nothing has changed, so it'll still break. Because it's been breaking for a week now.19:05
penguin42bug ?19:06

penguin42bug 120761219:10
lubotu3bug 1207612 in linux (Ubuntu) "046d:0825 Using webcam fills log with xhci_hcd errors" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/120761219:10
* penguin42 tosses lubotu3 a cookie19:10
MartijnVdS!botsnack19:11
lubotu3Yum! Err, I mean, APT!19:11
penguin42MartijnVdS: Well he didn't ask you to try it again did he in those comments - he asked whether the camera worked19:12
MartijnVdSpenguin42: it's still a "We don't believe you see the bug" comment.19:12
MartijnVdSor it reads like one anyway19:12
ali1234there's no point ever reporting kernel bugs on launchpad19:14
ali1234they will not be fixed19:14
ali1234you will be asked to retest every 6 months, but that is it19:15
penguin42yeh it's pretty rare, although it is useful if you find a heck of a lot people are hitting the same thing19:15
MartijnVdSali1234: this one has a patch that is/will be upstream for the next release19:15
MartijnVdS(3.11)19:15
ali1234it won't be backported until after the next release, and then only if you can cionvince someone to do a SRU, and that will only happen if the bug can cause data loss19:16
MartijnVdSali1234: I'm on saucy19:16
ali1234doesn't matter19:16
MartijnVdSali1234: I'm assuming the target kernel is 3.1119:16
MartijnVdSwhich is exactly right19:16
ali1234they don't start fixing bugs until after release19:16
ali1234so then just wait for 3.11 to release and saucy to switch to it, problem solved?19:17
MartijnVdSali1234: yes, but have them be aware of it, because newer hardware like this is getting more common19:17
MartijnVdSali1234: at the very least, it'll give people a bug to subscribe to19:17
ali1234where are we in the release cycle anyway?19:17
MartijnVdSaugust-ish19:17
penguin42MartijnVdS: So the normal thing next is to ask you to test latest upstream in the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/  but I think you've find the right bug19:18
MartijnVdSthere was a page that uses previous kernel releases to guess the next release date19:18
* MartijnVdS can't find it anymore19:18
ali1234it's not in upstream yet though19:20
ali1234i suppose it might be in rc319:20
* MartijnVdS looks at git19:20
MartijnVdShttps://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=07f3cb7c28bf3f4dd80bfb136cf45810c46ac47419:21
daftykins"Software is now supposed to not assume the TD is not completed until it gets that last successful status."19:22
penguin42MartijnVdS: so try latest upstream from that ppa19:22
ali1234that's in rc3 then19:22
daftykinsnegative overload19:22
daftykinsit's not the not not...19:22
ali1234*now19:22
MartijnVdSpenguin42: *install*19:23
penguin42MartijnVdS: There are a series of tags to add to the bug as well to indicate whether it succeeds or fails with a given kernel19:23
MartijnVdSpenguin42: where do I find a description of those tags?19:24
penguin42hmm can't find them19:26
MartijnVdS\o/ that fixed it. Added comment.19:29
* penguin42 needs to do that to see if his USB thumb drive comes back 3.0.10-6 broke it19:30
penguin42MartijnVdS: How much is it filling the logs - is it enough to make the machine unusable or just a PITA ?19:30
MartijnVdSpenguin42: around 20 times/second19:31
MartijnVdSpenguin42: so if you're webcamming all day, your / will fill up nicely19:31
daftykinsfunsies19:31
MartijnVdSpenguin42: the commit note states it needs to be backported all the way to 3.0 (because new hardware vs old software expectation)19:32
penguin42nod19:32
* penguin42 hmms and ha's about switching gas supplier22:23
daftykinsoooh risky22:24
daftykinsi invited one of those door to door people in once in Portsmouth, thing is despite their promises they try to hide the fact you'd only be saving maybe a fiver22:24
penguin42daftykins: Well uswitch/money supermarket seems to say it'll save me £80/year, athough there is a £30 early leave fee, but the current supplier is annoying22:32
daftykins:(22:33
daftykinsthere's great choice down here22:34
daftykinsyou have your Guernsey Water, Guernsey Gas and Guernsey Electricity22:34
daftykins:D22:34
penguin42hmm - who do you use?22:38
daftykinsall of them :D22:39
penguin42right, swtiched to 'flow energy'22:41
daftykinslet's hope it flows well22:45
penguin42nod, I suspect the hard part will be the transfer from the existing supplier22:46
penguin42hmm odd, the daily kernel booted really really fast - but complained that the radeon driver couldn't load firmware23:29
