[10:57] <AndreeeCZ> hi! Im trying to test the 4.4.0 kernel on rpi. I have downloaded and flashed ubuntu-embedded-16.04-raspi2.img and now would like to install this: 
[10:57] <AndreeeCZ> https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/unstable/+sourcepub/5955607/+listing-archive-extra
[10:57] <AndreeeCZ> however, im not exactly sure of the procedure. Do i just download and install the .debs ?/
[10:58] <AndreeeCZ> or is it better to add some repository and upgrade from there?
[11:20] <ppisati> AndreeeCZ: yep
[11:21] <apw> s/b 4
[11:21] <ppisati> AndreeeCZ: or you can add the unstable ppa 
[12:07] <AndreeeCZ> ppisati, thank you
[12:07] <AndreeeCZ> ppisati, whats the alternative to the usual /boot/config.txt ?
[12:07] <ppisati> AndreeeCZ: we don't mount the boot partition in /boot
[12:07] <AndreeeCZ> oh
[12:07] <ppisati> AndreeeCZ: we mount it in /boot/firmware
[12:07] <ppisati> AndreeeCZ: but the rest should be the same
[12:07] <AndreeeCZ> ok i see
[12:09] <AndreeeCZ> thank you
[12:12] <AndreeeCZ> ppisati, do you know which xserver-xorg-video- driver do i install for the VC4 driver?
[12:12] <ppisati> AndreeeCZ: no idea, sorry
[12:12] <ppisati> AndreeeCZ: i've never used xorg on that board
[12:12] <ppisati> AndreeeCZ: always headless
[12:26] <AndreeeCZ> ok thanks
[12:27] <rtg> AndreeeCZ, is that raspi2 kernel working for you ? I still haven't gotten around to testing it.
[13:54] <AndreeeCZ> rtg, it boots
[13:55] <AndreeeCZ> rtg, ssh works, apt too
[13:55] <rtg> AndreeeCZ, cool.
[13:55] <AndreeeCZ> the raspberry pi touchscreen works also
[13:55] <AndreeeCZ> i mean the screen part of it, dont know about touch yet
[13:55] <AndreeeCZ> i'm now struggling with how to get the VC4 driver
[13:55] <rtg> AndreeeCZ, I'm just happy that it boots :)
[13:55] <AndreeeCZ> ah okay :)
[16:12] <menace> Hi, i already asked in #ubuntu-devel, but i found with your newsletter this channel, so i wanted to ask... how big is the chance that kernel 4.5 ist ending up in 16.04? are there any advantages for doing that, or anything i can look for, if the possibility rises? personally i would prefer kernel 4.4 for 16.04, since we want to deploy several thousand desktop machines with the 16.04 stack, but one never knows...
[16:13] <menace> the timeframe seems to be quite narrow. kernel 4.5 can be speculated for the mid of march, you need (from your timetable extrapolated) ~ 2 weeks for testing and 7.4 is the kernel freeze.
[16:45] <menace> there are some news, that 4.4 is *decided*, but i cannot find any substantiation for that claim on your release schedules.
[16:45] <menace> or release notes.
[17:00] <cking> menace, 4.4 it will be
[17:00] <smb> menace, as cking said. 4.5 could never get enough testing until release
[17:06] <menace> ah, thanks for the information.
[17:08] <menace> just to satisfy my personal curiosity: what's the timeframe, complexity and tasks for testing a new kernel before an ubuntu release (besides running performance tests on several chipset architectures)? i could not find very much documentation about that in the wiki 
[17:14] <cking> menace, it depends on the many factors, it changes every release depending on the kernel chosen, when it lands, the new features we enable and/or stuff we need to get stable and working well
[17:14] <cking> so, it's hard to say exactly
[17:19] <menace> okay, i can understand that. i just found https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Debugging so at least i have some idea what things you have to test, though i'm sure, there are much more things, than on that site :D. thanks! :)
[17:34] <apw> menace, there is also a host of dependant packages which have to pass against the kernel before we can ship it
[17:35] <menace> ah, like special 3rd kernel modules or systemtap?
[17:58] <apw> right dkms packages and the like, plus we test glibc against the new headers we produce, that kind of thing
[20:58] <jdstrand> ogasawara: hi! I feel like in a recent xenial update, I started seeing this in my logs every 5 seconds: powercap intel-rapl:0: package locked by BIOS, monitoring only
[20:59] <jdstrand> ogasawara: have you heard of this?
[20:59]  * jdstrand wonders if it is a thermald change that was made on upgrade
[20:59] <ogasawara> jdstrand: well that has to be annoying if it's every 5 secs.  I've not personally heard, but let me send a note to cking and inquire.
[21:00] <jdstrand> thanks
[21:01] <jdstrand> I can say that stopping thermald makes the messages stop
[21:01] <jdstrand> but changing from QUIET to PERFORMANCE does not
[21:01] <jdstrand> ogasawara: oh, I was wrong. it is every 4 seconds :)
[21:02] <jdstrand> details...
[21:17] <rtg> jdstrand, thermald _was_ just updated, but I think there was also something related to intel-microcode
[21:19] <jdstrand> intel-microcode is still from november it seems
[22:42] <ogasawara> jdstrand: cking notes he's just recently seen the same issue and will be digging into it first thing on Mon
