| Psil0Cybin | hey guys i have a few questions about how kernels work, I upgraded my Ubuntu system and the new kernel is causing a blackscreen where no parameters fix the issue | 03:35 |
|---|---|---|
| Psil0Cybin | how can i go about creating a proper report so i can help people working on the new kernels to look at my issue | 03:35 |
| Psil0Cybin | do you think it is fine to use an outdated kernel? would new kernels have a potential of fixing my issue and i should sit this kernel update that is causing the problems out? | 03:36 |

| ppisati | robher: Rob, don't know if you saw my email, but we are still waiting your comments about the xgmac learning patch | 10:53 |
| ppisati | robher: subject: "Re: [PATCH 4/5] UBUNTU: SAUCE: net: calxedaxgmac: add mac address learning" | 10:54 |
| brendand | cking, is there an fwts test for backlight? | 11:55 |
| cking | brendand, no | 11:55 |
| brendand | cking, any reason? | 11:55 |
| cking | no one never requested it (yet) | 11:56 |
| brendand | cking, fair enough :) | 11:56 |
| cking | brendand, you could file a bug and i'll chat to hwe to see what is doable | 11:56 |
| brendand | cking, i think there should be since the firmware interface seems to be the preferred method of updating the backlight by gsd | 11:56 |
| brendand | cking, i can file a bug of course | 11:57 |
| cking | brendand, more tests is always good ;-) | 11:57 |

| cking | brendand, I'll get around to it in the next week or so | 12:06 |

| rtg | ppisati, any feedback on the xmac MAC learning patch ? | 14:26 |
| ppisati | rtg: nope, i pinged rob today, let's see if he answer | 14:27 |
| rtg | ack | 14:27 |
| rtg | apw, I'm gonna start an unstable branch in trusty so I can start going through all of the new config options in 3.13 | 14:41 |
| apw | rtg, makes a lot of sense to me, will help me with my endevours too | 14:47 |

| rtg | ppisati, I'm rebasing against 3.13 merge window. WTF is ARM_ARCH_TIMER_EVTSTREAM ? | 15:22 |
| ppisati | rtg: hold on | 15:22 |
| rtg | even afterreading the help text I'm confused | 15:22 |
| ppisati | rtg: i had the same reaction... | 15:28 |
| ppisati | rtg: https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/18/125 | 15:28 |
| ppisati | rtg: looks like timeout support for wfe (enter/exit low-power standby) or evern programming error events | 15:28 |
| rtg | ppisati, hmm, I wonder why its being built for x86'en. seems like some Kconfig patches are in order. | 15:28 |
| ppisati | rtg: i doubt it attaches there, they probably let it build on x86 to extend toolchain exposure trying to catch as many bugs as possible | 15:30 |
| cking | brendand, i've just responded to that brightness test fwts bug, can you follow it up? | 15:37 |
| hallyn_ | apw: stgraber: so there's a weird issue (https://github.com/lxc/lxc/issues/25) with avahi-daemon in a container. it drops caps then clones. Outside a container the clone works, but inside a container the clone only works if you hack it to not drop CAP_SYS_RESOURCE. | 15:40 |
| hallyn_ | (clone fails with -EAGAIN) | 15:40 |
| hallyn_ | running the container unconfined does not change things; running outside a container in a hand-built cgroup does not change things; so i'm having a hard time figuring out why there is anydifference in the privilege level | 15:42 |
| hallyn_ | ooooh, wiat | 15:44 |
| apw | hallyn_, ... waiting | 15:44 |
| hallyn_ | the uid is in use on the host | 15:44 |
| hallyn_ | i bet using a unique uid will fix it | 15:45 |
| hallyn_ | not really a satisfactory fix, but it would at least explain it | 15:45 |
| * apw hmms isn't that meant to be fixed by uid spaces | 15:45 | |
| brendand | cking - ok i did | 15:46 |
| cking | ta | 15:46 |
| hallyn_ | apw: yeah, but those are not yet in use in most places | 15:46 |
| brendand | cking, i think i probably shouldn't raise any more of these bugs before the years end, else i'll have to buy you a christmas present | 15:46 |
| brendand | (at this stage i probably already should) | 15:47 |
| cking | brendand, heh, it's no problem really | 15:47 |
| hallyn_ | apw: yeah so that fixes it. sorry for the noise. (not sure what to do about it, but it's not a kernel issue :) | 15:48 |
| cking | brendand, i think I will call it "autobrightness" if that's OK | 15:49 |

| Psil0Cybin | hey guys i have a question about kernels i am so ocnfused maybe someone can shoot me in the right direction | 21:52 |
| apw | Psil0Cybin, you will do well to actually ask that question | 22:02 |
| apw | then we can work out who knows etc | 22:03 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay | 22:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | i have kernel number 3.2.0-55-generic-pae | 22:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | apw: my question is i used dist-upgrade got a new kernel, it caused a blackscreen i tried nomodeset | 22:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | did not work i tried all other paremeters did not work | 22:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | someone suggested to ry a mainline kernel | 22:14 |
| Psil0Cybin | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-trusty/ | 22:15 |
| Psil0Cybin | is this the newest kernel for my build? | 22:15 |
| rtg | Psil0Cybin, its the newest one you want to try. anything newer is getting pretty steamy. | 22:16 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay perfect so im installing it | 22:16 |
| Psil0Cybin | and im getting this | 22:16 |
| Psil0Cybin | http://pastebin.com/nE5xGHee | 22:16 |
| Psil0Cybin | is that normal or is it because i did not instead the headers yet? | 22:16 |
| rtg | Psil0Cybin, its benign (unless you have an rtl device that requires this firmware) | 22:17 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay thanks | 22:17 |
| Psil0Cybin | jesus im new :P so im trying to learn ahah | 22:17 |
| Psil0Cybin | you guys are so helpful i wish i could get everyone @ #ubuntu a giftbasket. | 22:17 |
| rtg | then we'd all get fat :) | 22:17 |
| Psil0Cybin | hahahahahha | 22:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay so now im installing the headers | 22:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | and im set to test :) | 22:18 |
| Psil0Cybin | rtg: i installed the header and im getting this messages | 22:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | http://pastebin.com/wDhkxQGF | 22:23 |
| Psil0Cybin | Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.12.0-031200-generic (i686) | 22:24 |
| Psil0Cybin | Consult /var/lib/dkms/cedarview-drm/20120717/build/make.log for more information. | 22:24 |
| rtg | Psil0Cybin, I don't know what cedarview-drm is, but it clear;y doesn't like those kernel headers | 22:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | cedarview is my graphic driver | 22:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | which is why i am getting a blackscreen i assume | 22:25 |
| rtg | likely | 22:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | darn | 22:25 |
| Psil0Cybin | so it looks like no kernel will work for me other then what i am using now | 22:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | 3.2.0-55-generic-pae | 22:26 |
| rtg | yeah, its unlikely kernels newer then 3.2 will work. | 22:26 |
| Psil0Cybin | so what do i do..if i have an acer aspire one, d270-1628 i do not want new features | 22:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | but i want to make sure i am always secure | 22:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | when it comes to security issues. | 22:27 |
| rtg | 3.2 is supported for 5 years from 12.04 | 22:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | oh eally for now? | 22:27 |
| Psil0Cybin | so im fine for 5 years | 22:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | just i should save up for better hardware? | 22:28 |
| rtg | indeed | 22:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | sigh | 22:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | alright | 22:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | so now next question if i go out and buy a laptop what laptop can i buy to insure that i get good quality support from ubuntu | 22:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | when it comes to kernel and drivers. | 22:28 |
| rtg | system76 | 22:28 |
| Psil0Cybin | system76? | 22:29 |
| rtg | dell pre-installed | 22:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | oh really dell? | 22:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | is a good machine for ubuntu? | 22:29 |
| rtg | only those that come pre-insatlled with ubuntu | 22:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | okay but lets say i get a pre installed version does it come with the drivers on a usb or something incase i want to format later? | 22:29 |
| Psil0Cybin | or just the hardware is really good one those when it comes to support | 22:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | for the linux community. | 22:30 |
| rtg | a little of both | 22:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | alright sigh i wish i knew this before hand | 22:30 |
| Psil0Cybin | i just got this laptop...and now i find out when it comes to linux its garbage because intel is shittay | 22:31 |
| Psil0Cybin | its small netbook i wanted to run xubuntu on forever :) | 22:31 |
| rtg | well, whats wrong with the bits that came on it ? you're good until 17.04 | 22:31 |
| rtg | anyway, I'm EOD | 22:31 |
| * rtg -> EOD | 22:32 | |
