phillwHi, whilst not 100% kernel, when we do test (or are asked to test) we often need a kernel and a build.. So, https://launchpad.net/~jsalisbury have you any idea why kernel team can build ISO's and https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-cd/+question/240037 gets closed?00:42
phillwOh, and please do not think that is me being harsh, Joe is a complete and utter star for the work he did for the zram issue in such short time. 00:45

rsalvetiapw: you published the meta package for saucy (linux-mako, ppa), mind copying it for trusty as well?02:31

apwrsalveti, bah... will do09:03
apwphillw, that question gets closed by the launchpad autocloser cause noone did anything with it in 15 days, that seems to be a "feature" of questions; building CDs is a complex process and has changed in the last cycles to match upstream supported tooling.  as far as i know the appropriate tooling does exist in published repos, but it is slightly outside the normal archive system so some of it may not09:05
apwbe at all obvious09:05
apwphillw, as for what joe did, most likely what he did was sub in a replacement kernle into an existing CD which with a lot of playing can be done in a "dirty" way, but you would have to ask him.09:06
apwphillw, it is unlikely he is mastering a cd the way the main builders do, as they have dedicated kit to do so currently09:07
apwphillw, all of that said, you are likely to find more authorative answers from the installer team 09:09
brendanddoes anyone know why the -proposed kernels haven't been copied yet even though they've been ready since friday?09:13
apwi believe there is a delay in the point release which is in the way, but i would not like to claim to be cirtain09:22

smbapw, I think that is exactly what bjf was saying in yesterday's kernel-team irc meeting09:27
apwsmb, ahh yes there was "Holding" all over the place09:30
apwsmb, though i blinked and missed it with the meeting09:30
smbapw, True, the email Joe sends out is more reliable as a data source09:31
smbhttps://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2014-January/037696.html09:33
apwbrendand, ahh there it is: "We are in a holding pattern waiting to see if any regressions show up that would cause us to respin before the 12.04.4 release goes out."09:36
brendandapw - okay - but the kernels aren't in -proposed so how will regressions be detected?09:38
apwbrendand, that refers to the previous kernels which are in -proposed/-updates; though technically it presumably only means that for precise 09:39
apwthough i guess that is actually saucy as well as we're using the lts kerenl on the cd09:40
apwthis is about leaving a window where we can pick up whats in the -updates pocket and rev that separatly from what we are staging for the next cycle09:40
ckingoops, rebooted the wrong machine10:04
apwcking, that is an oops ... especially when it has been running that test for 3 days10:10
ckingunfortunately the ssh session I was in exited and thus I didn't reboot the machine I intended to reboot10:11
apwcking, i hate that when it happens10:12
apwas you always notice after you have asked your fiinger to press return but before it has done so, but there is no stopping it10:12
* cking wonders why ACPICA always gets released the day before fwts is, I can never get these in sync10:13
apwcking, you need an entire cycle to get apica working again anyhow10:39
apwit always has new 'features'10:40
ckingwell, a bunch of fixes, so it's new and shiny and good ;-)10:40
apwyeah but out of sync with the releases is probabally good, so you have time to adapt :)10:42

smbapw, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/126940112:49
ubot2Launchpad bug 1269401 in linux (Ubuntu) "[Trusty] Switching framebuffers fails on VMs using cirrus" [Undecided,Confirmed]12:49
rtgapw, suspend stopped working on my Lenovo within the last couple of uploads. I'm gonna have to spend part of the day figuring that out lest it drive me nuts.13:48
ckingrtg, is that suspend or resume?14:24
rtgcking, it is suspend, but now its working with -rc8. oh well.14:26
henrixrtg: looks like you forgot to apply my last patch to the Lucid kernel14:29
rtghenrix, uh, wich one ?14:30
henrixrtg: b4789b8e6be3151a955ade74872822f30e8cd914 ("[Lucid][LTS-Raring][CVE-2013-6380] aacraid: prevent invalid pointer dereference")14:31
rtghenrix, right, sorry.14:31
henrixrtg: np ;)14:31
rtghenrix, done14:33
henrixrtg: ack, thanks14:34
apwhenrix, if these stables exist is there anything which prevents them being applied to master-next btw ?14:42
henrixapw: not sure i understand what you mean... are you talking about the CVEs fixes?14:43
apwhenrix, no i was thnking about this fix which i proposed and is coming down from stables in fact14:44
apwor have the stables themselves not yet released with that in14:44
apwas i looked for the commit on master-next on the assumption if they were in stable they weould be on ther14:44
apwe14:44
henrixapw: ah, right :) no, the fix can be applied.  bjf (or sconklin) will handle that when merging the stable trees into the ubuntu kernels14:45
henrixapw: i believe there are scripts to handle that14:45
apwhenrix, i don't need to apply it cause i know the sta14:45
apwstables will apply it in the next window anyhow, i was more trying to work out what triggers stable to be applied14:46
henrixapw: there are several sources. the primary source are the commits tagged for stable14:46
henrixapw: then, for network-related patches, davem explicitly sends requests to the stable mailing list (there are no network commits tagged for stable!)14:47
henrixapw: this also applies for sparc patches14:47
rtgapw, if you apply it, then you can also jam a bug number in the commit log14:48
henrixapw: and then... there's stable mailing list.  people keep sending requests for stable inclusion (CVE fixes, fixes that missed the stable tag, etc)14:48
brendandbjf, hi14:57
brendandbjf, can you clarify when the kernels are going to be pushed to -proposed? i understand you're holding them because of 12.04.414:58
rtghenrix, please have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1268780 - that commit looks like a candidate for 3.11 stable15:18
ubot2Launchpad bug 1268780 in linux (Ubuntu) "Please backport the "libata.force disable" patch to 13.10 kernel" [Medium,Triaged]15:18
henrixrtg: looking15:19
rtghenrix, ah, nm. you are already on it15:19
henrixrtg: yep :)15:19
BenCapw: Working through a few build errors (mostly missing include for of_address stuff that got moved)15:27
apwBenC, sounds promising15:39
brendandbjf, around?16:01
bjfbrendand, just16:01
bjfbrendand, well.. no i can't actually. we have not found any regression at this point that would cause a respin so i don't think it will be much longer.16:02
bjfbrendand, and yes i know this messes with everyone's schedule.. we'll just be flexible about it and when the next cycle starts16:03
brendandbjf, by the end of the week?16:04
bjfbrendand, probably next week16:05
brendandbjf, ok16:05
brendandbjf, are all of them being held to the same extent? i would have thought you'd just be concerned with the saucy kernel16:06
bjfbrendand, yeah, we're holding them all right now . we could just hold saucy but we like to maintain a single sru cycle that has them all. if we do them individually it could get more messy schedule wise. (which one am i doing this week)16:08
brendandbjf, makes sense16:08
bjfbrendand, honestly, we should have just skipped this entire cycle16:09
bjfbrendand, i sort of screwed this up16:09
rtgcking, have you had any luck reproducing the 3.13 performance issues on tangerine ?16:25
ckingrtg, I'm still gathering data on some other kit at the mo to get an idea16:26
rtgcking, cool16:26
ckingit does involve a load of builds to get some idea what's going on16:26
rtgyup16:26
ckingrtg, perhaps we should also cull a load of unused files on the device just for the sake of cleaning up the drive anyhow16:28
rtgcking, on tangerine ?16:29
ckingyup16:29
rtgI do periodically hassle folks. is it full again ?16:29
cking75% or so, so its not too bad16:29
ckingrtg, anyhow, I'm still gathering data on some boxes, I may get an idea tomorrow once I've collated the results16:30
rtgcking, I generally don't start to worry until 95% or so. do you think a 75% full file system will have an impact ?16:30
ckingrtg, most probably not the issues you see16:31
rtgcking, shall I update the kernel to 3.13-rc8 ? 3.13.0-316:32
ckingrtg, well, it's another data point I guess16:32
BenCapw: I think I've fixed them all...letting all 5 builds go before claiming victory16:32
rtgcking, didn't want to mess with your results or testing16:32
ckingrtg, how about tomorrow, I want to get a spin on it tomorrow morning when it's quiet16:33
rtgcking, np16:33
lamontI have a machine booting (root is an lv on swraid1) that keeps telling me "WARNING: Thereappears to be one or more degraded RAID devices", spews mdstat showing the rcovery in progress (eta 137 min), says that it's starting it, complains that CREATE {user_root,group_disk} not found, says that it started the RAID in degraded mode, and then pauses for several seconds and repeats.17:19
lamontis that the "don't boot with degraded RAID" crap, or something else, I wonder?17:20

smblamont, Donboot would drop into busybox shell imo (not that I had that case)19:28
lamontok. sigh19:29
smblamont, But maybe it is actually what you say.19:30
lamontit`s also possibly me..19:30
lamontI don't remember if I rebooted after I did all my shenanigans to partition the new drive and add it to the raid1s19:31
lamontanother 45 min or so, and I can see where I'm at... if this is really hating me, are you around then for me to pester with mdadm questions, or am I reading source/19:32
lamont?19:32
smbCan you get the actual /proc/mdstat output 19:32
lamontit's on the screen in front of me19:33

lamontsmb: it was either me, or strange...  fixed by: lvm vgscan; lvm lvdisplay -C (root not active); lvm lvchange -a y ${ROOTlv}20:23
smblamont, quite weird. cannot remember ever having to activate an lv manually20:26
lamontsmb: I deactivated it manually after I chrooted into it to fdisk the new drive20:27
lamonthence "lamont" is the most likely root cause here20:27
smbSounds like deep surgery . A bit more than I usually do for my "servers" which actually only serve one person20:29
