hans109hRE: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1313981 I need some help understanding why I loose keyboard and mouse (both USB) when using a previous kernel version03:41
=== inaddy is now known as tinoco
apwhans109h (N,BFTL), ok i see you found which 3.13 kernel was the first one which breaks, and that one includes an interesting change to PNP handling; which considering the debug output my last kernel produced is rather suspicious.  i'll try a new test kernel with that reverted, and with some more debug08:43
oneWhere is the confige file used by dpkg -buildconfig?11:10
apwone, i think i've seen that answers probabally 3 times already ... they are in debian.master/config11:11
oneit never made it to my screen11:12

oneWhat is an acorn parition?11:16
mlankhorstmaybe from acorn computers?11:16
apwindeed a partition table format used on old acorn systems, which might potentially be on an USB drive11:24
oneWhat is the most compatible way to edit the config for use with the dpkg -buildpackage?11:25
apwdebian/rules editconfigs11:25
apwor change the config in the config fragment and run debian/rules updateconfigs11:26
oneDoes that include editing the localversion label?11:26
oneThe enforce file says auto adding localversion will cause package failure11:29
apwsetting localversion breaks the build which relies on the form of the version number11:31
apwjibel, hey ... what triggers the dkms test builds against the CKT PPA11:43
apwand indeed how can i tell if it has done :)11:44
smbapw, Reminds me, not sure you saw the email, I managed to give iscsitarget a basic test in utopic. So whatever you did seems to work11:45
apwsmb, yeah i did thanks.  that is more than i know how to do11:46
apwi guess that is something you should teach us11:46
apwthe basic concepts and bits needed for that to work11:46
smbyeah, I suppose I could do it in 2 weeks when we are in the same location11:47
apwsmb, sounds good indeed11:47
apwi assume VMs will do11:47
oneLooking at the config in place and comparing with lsmod it looks like the config fragments have things set as y so they are supposed to not be compiled as modules but the lsmod is showing them as loaded modules, there must be something else changing the configs, any idea what that is?11:55
apwone, give us an example and i can look11:55
onekvm11:56
onewait that is seperate from config_have_kvm11:57
oneIs there not an ncurses package in the repo?11:57
oneThe menuconfig gives explanations.11:57
oneDoes kconfig or xconfig also give a summary?11:59
oneThe package system calls for ncurses if selecting y to modify the config before build12:00

jibelapw, a new version of the kernel in the PPA or a new version of a dkms module in proposed. In this case only this module will be tested.12:10
apwjibel, in the case a new kernel dropped, it is not easy to tell from jenkins if it has been redone, is tehre something else somewhere to tell me it has12:12
apwjibel, i believe it has in this case, as i opened one of the latest builds and checked, but from the dashboardy thing i couldn't tell12:12
jibelapw, from jenkins it is not easy to tell indeed. On http://d-jenkins.ubuntu-ci:8080/view/DKMS/view/U%20KT-PPA%20-generic/ you'll see that all the tests have run 9h30 ago, and if you open one you'll see the version of the kernel.12:14
jibelapw, I'll check with the CI team because apparently something changed in jenkins. Previously the version of the kernel and dkms modules was displayed in the list, but it is not there anymore.12:17
jibeland I cannot find a way to add it12:18
apwjibel, great thanks, i am late to this party so i have not seen the live one before now to know it has gone :)12:21
jibelapw, it should like https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/DKMS/view/Trusty%20Release%20Kernel-Team-PPA%20-generic/12:22
apwjibel, and i can't see it on that one either, or i am stupid, possibly the latter12:28
jibelapw, ah right, the version is just "generic" in the list called 'test statistics grid'. not really useful. 12:32
rtgtjaalton, bug #1317865 looks like it might be yours12:46
tjaaltonrtg: thanks12:49
tjaaltonI have other stuff to push too12:49
tjaaltonffs, dropbox..12:51
tjaaltonoh right, the one smb reported earlier12:52
rtgsmb, sforshee: this one looks interesting: bug #131781112:53
smbbug 131781112:54
smbHm, might be something that sforshee had been lookig at12:54
rtgok12:54
smbNot completely the same. His was the ride the rocket message and finally ending in a bugon fragments spannign a compound page or so12:56
rtgperhaps related12:57
smbI guess the basic question is why buffers get so big in general. IIRC this is trying to transfer a packet where the skb is more than they can fit into 19 slots (where I had to check again how big a slot is but I think a page)12:59
rtgthat makes sense since the workaround is to restrict MTU to 150013:00
smbright... hm, has the default really gone up? maybe some negotiation13:01
oneapw: there is no updateconfigs in that directory14:19
onethat autocomplete , so rules is a script and updateconfigs is an argument for it?14:21
apwone yes14:23
apwsmb, bigger than 19 pages !?14:24
oneIs there a package that provides ncurses so that the editconfigs may be run?14:27
smbapw, Yes, it counts the number of pages the frags in a skb need and anything above 17 results in that rides the rocket message and a drop of that package14:28
oneOr does ubuntu allow for kconfig or other config apps?14:29
apwone, the package for ncurses, is libncurses-dev14:31
oneIt looks like updateconfigs does run kconfig and it is now looping is it safe to ctrl+c it?14:35
apwit can make a mess if it is stopped14:36
apwit shouldn't look forever14:37
oneWhat is the proper way to clean the kernel source directory I am working on building the kernel a second time removing some unnecisarry things from the config and the dpkg-buildpackage exits with errors and a lot of complaints about not being able to represent changes.15:11
oneunrepresentable changes to source15:11
oneIs it due to not being able to create a hash diff for nonexistant modules given that there is removal of modules in the new config?15:15
apwdebian/rules clean15:15
apwit will likely fail later unless you fix the ABI as well, adding removed modules to "modules.ignore" in the abi directory15:16
oneAnd what about .. where the package shall go does it append to filename or overwrite considering appending localversion breaks the process?15:17
apwthe package will be whatever version you have at the top of debian.master/changelog, it is common to add like apw1 to the end of the version to indicate this is your version15:18
apwsmb, have you configured an openvsiwtch bridge like we did a normal one for xen15:22
oneSo what reads the symbols to make it happen?15:27
apwone, "it" ?15:30
oneWhatever the symbol represents.15:35
oneNow, how is this build system used to build only one of the supported archs the last time it produced a package labled _all15:36
apwone, what symbols are we talking about?  i don't see you mention them before and that sentence is context free15:37
apwone, _all is the architecture independant packages, common to all architectures15:38
apw-b says build the arch independant and arch dependant packages for "this" architecture15:38
oneIt was said that it builds for the arch it is built on however it says building for i386.15:42
oneThis is not a 386.15:42
apwis it a 32bit machine?15:43
oneI did have a 386 in the past not sure where it went.15:43
one6415:43
apwand does it have 32bit ubuntu installed on it15:43
oneYes it is running 32bit ubuntu.15:44
apwthen your architecture is "i386" which is a debian architecuture name for the 32bit x86 Os15:44
oneThe symbols are in the abi directory conscerning the modules.15:45
oneNo your architechture is not 38615:45
apwok, believe what you want15:46
oneno15:46
apwbut it is a fact that the "i386" debian architecture is 32bit ubuntu on x86, "amd64" is the debian arch for 64bit ubuntu on x8615:47
oneDo you call Jesus a carpenter like the religious leaders?15:47
apwan interesting non-sequitor, i have no reason to call him anything15:48
oneIf I can do something lesser that is not the sum of my architechure15:48
oneIn the same way computers are reflections of a mind.15:49
oneWith a great latency.15:49
tseliotapw: can you remind me where 3.15 is? (the ppa)15:50
tseliotplease15:50
apwtseliot, the utopic pocket of ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa15:50
oneapw: both hardware and software15:50
tseliotapw: thanks15:50
apwtseliot, np, good luck with the testing :-p15:51
tseliotthanks :)15:51
tseliotwell, with test-building15:51
tseliotbuild testing...15:51
onecomputer is a physical representation of thoughts a mind had in the past.15:51
rtgtseliot, don't forget the wl driver. its got some serious problems as well.15:52
tseliotrtg: that's the driver I'm working on15:52
rtgoh, cool.15:52
apwtseliot, did you find the channel somewhere to steal, i found two places you could but who knows if they are sufficient, sigh15:53
tseliotapw: I get it right before sending the variable, so that I'm sure nothing else messed with it. I only need to test the patch15:54
apwtseliot, oh nice, be interested to see where you got it from :)15:54
oneapw: how is a more advanced arch specified?15:54
oneapw: do not run from the truth15:54
apwone, that doesn't make sense, the arch is just a piece of text representing the architecture15:54
apwit is rather stupidly called "i386" but it is not even compatible with a 386 machine15:55
apwtseliot, i thi15:55
oneapw: I see the robots interrupt when I begin to reveal15:55
oneyupanakernel wants to live forever15:56
apwtseliot, i think i have a POS with some of that h/w in it, if you want to throw me a package15:56
onedoes apw?15:56
tseliotapw: sure, that would help15:56
onesuch timing! it is to be expected. cross empty or occupied I live forever.15:58
oneThat anything is here shows that JESUS CHRIST is the FATHER in the flesh.15:59
oneour report15:59
oneis this the 'we' that apw suspects16:00
oneour report16:00
tseliotthis is not the right channel to discuss such topics...16:00
oneapw: do you accuse me of fault?16:01
tseliotit's #ubuntu-kernel16:01
oneshare your logic template then16:01
tseliot:)16:02
rtgbjf, how long does that last ?16:02
bjfrtg, i don't know16:02
tseliotapw: my patch seems to build. What architecture do you need the packages for?16:23
apwtseliot, i think that machine is 32bit16:24
tseliotapw: ok16:26
apwtseliot, or throw me the debdiff, and i can build it here16:26
tseliotapw: http://people.canonical.com/~amilone/bcmwl_6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu3.debdiff16:36
tseliotI'm also creating a 32 bit chroot16:36

tseliotapw: and here's the package http://people.canonical.com/~amilone/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu3_i386.deb16:52
apwtseliot, thanks, machine is upgrading, i do not run it often enough it seems17:01
tseliot:)17:01
smbapw, Not sure I ever completed to use opevswitch in replacement18:04
apwsmb, ok thanks22:04
