=== rbasak_ is now known as rbasak [10:57] 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] https://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-team/+archive/ubuntu/unstable/+sourcepub/5955607/+listing-archive-extra [10:57] however, im not exactly sure of the procedure. Do i just download and install the .debs ?/ [10:58] or is it better to add some repository and upgrade from there? === FourDollars_ is now known as FourDollars [11:20] AndreeeCZ: yep [11:21] s/b 4 [11:21] AndreeeCZ: or you can add the unstable ppa [12:07] ppisati, thank you [12:07] ppisati, whats the alternative to the usual /boot/config.txt ? [12:07] AndreeeCZ: we don't mount the boot partition in /boot [12:07] oh [12:07] AndreeeCZ: we mount it in /boot/firmware [12:07] AndreeeCZ: but the rest should be the same [12:07] ok i see [12:09] thank you [12:12] ppisati, do you know which xserver-xorg-video- driver do i install for the VC4 driver? [12:12] AndreeeCZ: no idea, sorry [12:12] AndreeeCZ: i've never used xorg on that board [12:12] AndreeeCZ: always headless [12:26] ok thanks [12:27] AndreeeCZ, is that raspi2 kernel working for you ? I still haven't gotten around to testing it. [13:54] rtg, it boots [13:55] rtg, ssh works, apt too [13:55] AndreeeCZ, cool. [13:55] the raspberry pi touchscreen works also [13:55] i mean the screen part of it, dont know about touch yet [13:55] i'm now struggling with how to get the VC4 driver [13:55] AndreeeCZ, I'm just happy that it boots :) [13:55] ah okay :) [16:12] 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] 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] there are some news, that 4.4 is *decided*, but i cannot find any substantiation for that claim on your release schedules. [16:45] or release notes. === chrisccoulson_ is now known as chrisccoulson [17:00] menace, 4.4 it will be [17:00] menace, as cking said. 4.5 could never get enough testing until release [17:06] ah, thanks for the information. [17:08] 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] 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] so, it's hard to say exactly [17:19] 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] menace, there is also a host of dependant packages which have to pass against the kernel before we can ship it [17:35] ah, like special 3rd kernel modules or systemtap? [17:58] right dkms packages and the like, plus we test glibc against the new headers we produce, that kind of thing [20:58] 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] ogasawara: have you heard of this? [20:59] * jdstrand wonders if it is a thermald change that was made on upgrade [20:59] 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] thanks [21:01] I can say that stopping thermald makes the messages stop [21:01] but changing from QUIET to PERFORMANCE does not [21:01] ogasawara: oh, I was wrong. it is every 4 seconds :) [21:02] details... [21:17] jdstrand, thermald _was_ just updated, but I think there was also something related to intel-microcode [21:19] intel-microcode is still from november it seems [22:42] jdstrand: cking notes he's just recently seen the same issue and will be digging into it first thing on Mon
