| esnyder | hi all. i'm struggling to get crashdump working on ubuntu 13.10 running as a virtualbox guest on a mac. trying to follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/CrashdumpRecipe | 00:53 |

| esnyder | i found someone having similar problems at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kexec-tools/+bug/1235616 | 00:53 |

| esnyder | anyone have advice for me? should this work, and i need to just keep futzing, or are there known issues? | 00:54 |

| * ppisati goes for a lot of coffee... | 07:22 | |
| * smb joins the cup-ride | 07:46 | |
| apw | smb, so i have simple-f cause i am on -5 | 11:44 |
| apw | E: DRIVER=simple-framebuffer | 11:44 |
| apw | i'd not see that if i updated you say yes ? | 11:44 |
| smb | apw, yep | 11:44 |
| apw | ok | 11:44 |
| apw | then all is good | 11:44 |
| smb | apw, It was the updated kernel that caused me to fight efi-framebuffer (as simple was gone) | 11:45 |
| apw | ahh heh | 11:45 |
| apw | anyhow when that version hits, i would like to know if that works ok on your radeon box | 11:46 |
| apw | or whether i need to fix vesafb | 11:46 |
| smb | apw, So I ran with that changed locally and this makes vesafb still load but the idev event has not the primary env var set | 11:48 |
| smb | probably what we expect | 11:49 |
| smb | Still comes up, got that weird login bug again... but that could be fluke | 11:49 |
| apw | well thats something | 12:08 |
| apw | rsalveti, hey ... mako, we have just gotten a security team patch set for this kernel, but there is a version just sitting in our PPA for your testing, shuld i just replace it and we reset from there or do you want to do something with it first | 12:11 |
| smb | apw, So a qemu uri for virsh is "virsh -c qemu+ssh://<user>@<host>/system | 12:24 |
| rsalveti | apw: better to just replace it with the security fix, and rebase the tree with the current changes | 12:38 |
| rsalveti | apw: as we're not done yet with android 4.4 | 12:39 |
| apw | rsalveti, this is bringing in yama not a security fix, so i don't need to drop it on wahts in the archive at all | 12:42 |
| apw | rsalveti, i was more thinking shall i update the 4.4 version in the PPA with it | 12:42 |
| rsalveti | apw: oh, then yeah | 12:42 |
| rsalveti | that would be better | 12:42 |
| rsalveti | and easier | 12:42 |
| apw | ok ... thanks will do that | 12:42 |

| DW-10297 | Does anybody know if the kernel in the netboot package for 12.04.4 will finally have support for the Intel I210/I217 NICs? | 14:10 |
| DW-10297 | those drivers have been available forever | 14:11 |
| DW-10297 | That would make life soo much easier for folks that have gigantic clusters of boxes with those NICs in them | 14:13 |
| apw | DW-10297, if you can tell us what the driver for that is, we can check | 14:14 |
| rtg | indeed, we ought to be able to netboot an Intel NIC | 14:17 |
| DW-10297 | yeah when those nics came out 18 months ago i requested this and i was told to shove it =D | 14:17 |
| DW-10297 | and several releases of the netboot package came and went | 14:18 |
| apw | DW-10297, did you file a bug about it? | 14:18 |
| apw | and if so what was the number, so i can see what happeneed to it | 14:18 |
| apw | it might have been helpful to test the beta images a couple of weeks ago, then we could have made sure | 14:19 |
| DW-10297 | Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 2.1.4-k in 13.04 sees the target NICs | 14:20 |
| apw | what does lsmod say is bound to it | 14:20 |
| DW-10297 | it says used by 0 | 14:21 |
| DW-10297 | but in dmesg when the kernel starts its indicating that it's using that driver for the NIC | 14:22 |
| DW-10297 | on a supermicro server board that has Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit (lspci) it uses igb 5.0.5-k (in centos) | 14:25 |
| DW-10297 | so i guess as long as it has at least 2.1.4-k of e1000e and igb 5.0.5-k (or whatever) it should work fine | 14:26 |
| DW-10297 | by the way here is the bug that someone else filed for this a lonnggg time ago | 14:27 |
| DW-10297 | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1182878 | 14:27 |
| ubot2` | Launchpad bug 1182878 in linux (Ubuntu) "i210/i217 unsupported by igb / e1000e driver in precise" [Medium,Invalid] | 14:27 |
| DW-10297 | and it was marked invalid | 14:27 |
| DW-10297 | for no reason | 14:27 |
| === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube | ||
| DW-10297 | apparently this should've been fixed in 12.04.3 | 14:31 |
| DW-10297 | but i can confirm it doesnt work | 14:32 |
| DW-10297 | at least not in the netboot kernel | 14:32 |
| DW-10297 | even the jan 10 release of the netboot package | 14:32 |
| bjf | DW-10297, according to comment 7 of that bug, the person that filed the bug says it is working for him and it's no longer valid | 14:34 |
| DW-10297 | it might work if you install it from a cd | 14:34 |
| bjf | DW-10297, that was done june of last year. if you disagreed, you could have commented on the bug or opened your own | 14:35 |
| rtg | DW-10297, it would sure help if you would start a bug and attach a dmesg to it so we can start looking at some specifics. Intel typically has really good support for their drivers. | 14:35 |
| DW-10297 | its not a problem with intel's drivers, it's that the kernel in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ubuntu-installer/amd64/ doesn't have the right driver | 14:36 |
| rtg | DW-10297, a 3.2 kernel likely _won't_ have the right driver. if you have the same HW as in bug 1182878, then you'll need at least a 3.5 kernel, i.e., 12.04.2 | 14:39 |

| DW-10297 | rtg: Okay, i'm not arguing that. I'm trying to figure out why the netboot images aren't kept up to date with whats going on in the actual kernel | 14:39 |
| DW-10297 | I asked #ubuntu-installer, they told me to ask you guys | 14:40 |
| rtg | DW-10297, ok, I'm just researching that. I admit I've never net booted 12.04.2 | 14:40 |
| rtg | in fact, I rarely netboot at all | 14:40 |
| DW-10297 | its slightly useful in clouds | 14:40 |
| DW-10297 | I just found it odd that there was just a new release of ubuntu installer netboot on Jan 10 and it still didnt include support for Haswell | 14:44 |
| rtg | DW-10297, I'm sure there is a way to do it, but it may require you to configure your own Cobbler or MAAS servers | 14:44 |
| apw | it is likely missing from the d-i configuration, the upstream peeps just love to change the names of their drivers for shits and giggles, and then they get lost | 14:44 |
| DW-10297 | I think Debian 7 may actually have the driver in their installer as well. I can check if it helps | 14:46 |
| DW-10297 | anyway I will just cross my fingers and hope that the 12.04.4 netboot works =D | 14:48 |
| apw | if you could test that and if it does not file a bug against 'linux' (ubuntu-bug linux) and put all the details in it, which driver it is using etc then we might be able to fix it | 14:49 |
| DW-10297 | i will just see if 12.04.4's install fixes it first, if not i'll try it on debian and see how that goes | 14:50 |
| DW-10297 | .4 should be out sometime soon i would hope | 14:50 |
| bjf | DW-10297, today is the release day for .4 | 14:51 |
| bjf | DW-10297, and why a bug report before today would have been helpful | 14:51 |
| DW-10297 | yeah I knew that but i didnt want to be like.. if they ever publish it to the mirrors haha =) | 14:52 |
| DW-10297 | I guess I just assumed that it would make sense to refactor the kernels used in the installer every once in awhile to add new drivers | 14:52 |
| DW-10297 | even RHEL does that | 14:52 |
| DW-10297 | (surprisingly) | 14:52 |
