apwppisati, hi09:04
ckingmorning apw09:10
ckinghey, the 3.13.0-16 -proposed kernel breaks my USB on various thinkpads I have09:10
ckingapw, reverting 65482e0c807a50dc3ec9d59a7465801f9c56bf52 seems to fix it on a t440, I'm just going to try it on my x23009:11
* cking reboots to try it out09:12
ckingyup, that fixes it ;-)09:14
apwcking, BAH09:46
ckingyup09:46
apwon the broken kernel does enabling threaded irqs make it work again ?09:46
ckingnot tried that09:47
apwbe a good data point for when "we" moan about it09:47
* apw has a looks see if unstable builds with the patch on so you can see if this combo works, ie. rtg missed another commit needed09:48
* cking wished it had been tested ;-)09:48
apwi am sure he boot tested it, but he may not use USB in that combination.  it would have caught me though09:48
ckingit only caught me because of the low-latency vs generic testing I did last evening09:49
ckingthreaded irqs make it work10:08
apwcking, erp10:26
ckinglemme get an x220 rigged up and tested too10:44
* ppisati ponders why some modules are automagically loaded while others are not... 11:31
ppisatibut before that, food!11:31
wmphello, i where i can found kernel 3.11.0-16-generic to 12.04?11:58
wmpserver11:58
apwwmp, you want an older kernel than the one in -updates yes ?12:01
wmpyes, now i have 3.11.0.-17 and in them is bug12:01
wmpi 3.11.0-15 works good, so i want check 3.11.0-16 and report12:01
wmpapw: on 3.11-17 i have degradated raid on normal booting ubuntu, on rescure grub option works good12:02
wmpon 3.11-15 all works good12:02
apwwmp, ok there was no -16 for linux-lts-saucy as far as i can see12:06
apw3.11.0-15.25~precise1 then 3.11.0-17.31~precise1, and coming soon -1812:07
wmpok, so i should report that works on 3.11-15, and dont works  on 3.11.-17?12:07
apwcould you file a bug against linux-lts-saucy saying that indeed, and post the number here12:07

ubot2`Launchpad bug 1288703 in linux (Ubuntu) "3.11-17 MDRAID degradaded in normal boot, but on rescure works good" [Undecided,New]12:13
apwbjf, ^^12:23
apwcking, ok this ehci issue does not affect my 32bit tester ...12:23
* apw boots up more kit to see if he can find anything to repo. this12:26
wmpapw: hmmm, maybe i wrong debugging this bug...12:37
wmpapw: works on 3.11-15 when i set it manual on grub, when i wait to timeot and grub chose this kernel automatical, server dont boot...12:37
ckingapw, let me try it on some other kit then12:41
apwcking, t'is very odd to me12:41
ckingyep, it would appear that my tests are doubtful, but I will test on other kit and re-do my tests if required12:43
apwcking, i have some more kit upgrading now to confirm deny12:44
=== smb` is now known as smb
* cking preps some older kit too12:46
apwsmb, have you used schroot copyfiles at all ?12:48
smbapw, maybe12:48
xnoxWill "[Config] CONFIG_MICROCODE_EARLY=y" fix be applied across all kernels? (that is precise and all hwe kernels?)12:52
apwxnox, would we normally want to apply this to older kernels?  noone has needed till now?12:52
apwsmb, bah it seems setup.copyfiles is per chroot, so i have to add it to them all, or do it myself12:53
xnoxapw: right, true. intel-microcode only started to want/use early firmware in 13.06, and 13.10 release is a short-lived one.12:56
smbapw, Not sure I completely understand the context there. I assumed it was the part that automatically copies in some files which seems to be used automatically12:57
apwsmb, i want to add another file ... to copy in12:59
smbapw, I thin there where at least a copyfiles file per template which contained the files13:01
smbat least back in P13:01
smbLike /etc/schroot/default/copyfiles13:02

wmpLOL, WTF...15:25
BenCinfinity: I did. All appears ok on my end15:43
infinityBenC: Shiny, thanks.15:43
BenCinfinity: FYI, that need meta as well (I didn't prepare that one, forgot)16:19
infinityBenC: I did meta and committed and pushed.16:21
BenCinfinity: Thanks16:21
infinityI think I've done the last couple.16:21
infinityAnd that's all the SRUs for this cadence released.  I can sleep soon now. :P16:23
infinityBenC, zequence: As always, thanks for the work on the community kernels.  Catch you next cycle for more nagging.16:25
BenCinfinity: Thanks for manging my poor response time with diginity and patience :)16:26
infinityBenC: I really think that one of these days we need to revisit why we need 5(!) flavours instead of 2.16:28
infinityBenC: I can't help thinking there pretty much has to be a clever way to mangle things in early setup to work for all 32-bit and all 64-bit in two kernel images.16:28
BenCinfinity: Well, powerpc started with 3, so we just need to discuss the extra two, and I can explain them easily :)16:28
infinityBenC: 2, not 3... powerpc and powerpc6416:28
rtg_I_ would sure like to reduce the number of powerpc flavours16:29
infinityBenC: You have 3 extra flavours on top of that.16:29
BenCinfinity: I can go into more detail, but if benh tells me he's not willing to do the work it will take, I assume it will take us mortals several months to accomplish16:29
BenCinfinity: Oh, right16:29
BenCinfinity: -e500 can go away for all I care. But I think it will be important when we get p-cubed out of our imaginations and into a production facility16:30
infinityIf you have no interest in >= trusty booting on e500, patches/pull-requests welcome to tear it out.16:31
infinityUnless I should parse your sentence as "I don't care now, but I will again later".16:32
BenCinfinity: the latter16:32
infinityRight, okay.  No point removing it just to revert the removal later then...16:32
BenCinfinity: If you feel like a phone call to get into the details, let me know16:33
infinityI suspect if I replace all of our PPC buildds, rtg while whine a bit less, since sagari-class hardware building 5 flavours still beats armhf building two (by a fair bit).16:33
infinityBenC: A call between you, me, and Tim wouldn't be a bad idea, when I'm not in China.16:33
infinityBenC: Better still if I can talk Ben into joining, so we can get the upstream port maintainer view on this.16:33
rtginfinity, I always cross compile for test builds anyways, so having a porter doesn't help much.16:33
infinityrtg: Sure, I don't mean test builds, but archive builds.16:34
BenCinfinity: Ok16:34
infinityrtg: When linux/ppc lands on ross or adare and I notice, I kill it and move it. :P16:34
rtginfinity, right, I don't care about how long archive builds take. armhf is almost always last.16:34
BenCinfinity: BTW, we actually have metal for our 64-bit (proto) system16:34
infinityrtg: So, except when testing end-to-end with tools, I imagine a single-flavour build will usually catch most things you care about (this would be more true after a config review, if all flavours are building the same set of drivers).16:35
BenCOne of our engineers ran some spec tests and it was 2-3 times better than the 2 x Xeon i5 machine we compared it against16:35
rtginfinity, sure I can take short-cuts, but I don't want to _have_ to (other then using the cross compiler)16:36
infinityrtg: Agreed.  I feel your pain (a lot more), since I test build all of Ben's SRUs on a quad-core 2.5G 970MP.16:37
infinityI guess at least I'm not doing it on my 750...16:37
rtgyup, I as least have giant servers to mess with16:37
rtgat*16:37
infinityBenC: Is that the Freescale powerpc64-emb thing, or some top secret POWER-based part I'm not allowed to know about yet?16:39
BenCinfinity: The former16:39
BenCWe actually showed off the first hot-off-the-press proto type board at an OpenCompute keynote a few weeks ago with MarkZ16:40
infinityBenC: So, you really should find some cycles (or contract someone) to get some Freescale IFUNC bits in glibc to optimize string and memory functions a bit.16:40
infinityBenC: Unless the generic PPC stuff actually runs really well for you.16:40
infinityBenC: But IBM's been pulling out all the stops upstream to optimize the crap out of POWER4/5/6/7/816:41
BenCinfinity: I'm aware. We are pushing as much as we can16:41
BenCWe, ourselves are working on getting OpenJDK optimized for our own iron16:41
BenCThat's a customer driven effort16:41
* infinity nods.16:42
BenCinfinity: And I'm happy to see that v8 is making progress :)16:42
infinityBenC: v8 pretty much Just Works on IBM platforms now.  Has Andrew made any progress on your e500 kit?16:42
BenCinfinity: I'm not sure of his progress, but he was logged into and active on our e500mc dev box for a few weeks16:43
infinityCool.  If he gets it working, I'll happily take those patches for trusty.16:43
infinityAnd I think you'll probably owe him some fine beverages, given that he's technically your competitor. ;)16:44
manjokamal, I have a cpu stress program ... wondering if I can send it to debian ....what would it take?17:39
manjokamal, any pointers will help17:41
bjfmanjo, how is yours different than the standard stress ?19:06
manjobjf, you mean the tool stress ? 19:06
manjobjf, what stress is supposed to be is a load generator, what it does for cpu is call sqrt of a random number 19:07
bjfmanjo, i mean http://linux.die.net/man/1/stress19:07
manjobjf, what I have is something that will exercise floating pt and integer code paths and also paths that deal with txt and data cache miss 19:07
apwmanjo, quake ?19:18
manjolol19:18
manjoso the idea is that it could be used with our std cert 19:19
manjocoz they depend on apt-gettable packages 19:19
manjoor they think that would be the ideal way ... rather than integrating it and having to maintain it themselves 19:20
=== FreezingAlt is now known as FreezingCold
* apw deferrs to kamal on the whole thing19:41
kamalmanjo, sounds like you've got a program that hasn't yet been packaged, correct?  somebody would need to package it in order to contribute it to Debian.   cking is also working on getting a new cpustress tool packaged.  touch bases with him, yes?19:45
manjokamal, I have it packaged.. and building in a ppa ... but yes I will check with cking on what he is doing .. weirdly we might have the same thing going on 19:46
kamalmanjo, oh, you're one step ahead of me.  good man!  :-)   yeah, lmk what you and cking sort out.19:48
manjokamal, talked to cking ... I need a git repo it + cleanup and I can send you a link so you can review it 20:36
ckingit needs some spit-n-polish :-)20:37
hallynhm.  'fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic' should give me linux-headers*_all.deb right?21:51
hallyn(cause it's not.  drat)21:51
bjfhallyn, fdr binary-headers-generic   ... i think22:20
bjfhallyn, actually, just binary-headers22:21
bjfhallyn, so fdr binary-headers22:22
hallynbjf: thanks!22:24
hallynok - what about linux-libc-dev? :)22:49
