=== ezri is now known as rww [00:36] yikes!!.. Well, back in 14.04 kernel time when I built a non-pae kernel it worked, but would not work under "LiveCD" install. I was told about 'aufs' and we did build successful kernel http://phillw.net/isos/non-pae/ is there a link for the 4.4 kernel ? [00:41] phillw, link for what exactly? [00:44] apw: That link will build a kernel and stuff, but there was something to do with aufs that was needed. I'm really sorry that I have updated / changed my computer and I do not keep the inks on the wiki page. [00:45] phillw, sadly i don't think i know waht that means .. [00:47] apw: have a look at http://aufs.sourceforge.net/ [00:47] it has the list [00:49] phillw, i don't understand what you are asking? our 4.4 kernel has aufs applied [00:49] the AUFS is required to have an ISO that can run from CD / DVD / USB [00:49] apw: that was the question!!! [00:50] hey guys...I'm using the mainline 4.5 kernel (i915 is unstable on 4.2). I've noticed high load on the 4.4 and 4.5 kernels for my Intel Mobile processor. I just filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-meta/+bug/1544798 [00:50] Launchpad bug 1544798 in linux-meta (Ubuntu) "high load with 4.4 and 4.5 kernels for Intel Mobile processors" [Undecided,New] [00:50] phillw, overlayfs is required for the iso [00:51] phillw, but clearly whatver is needed is in our kernel else our iso's would not boot [00:51] apw: so, if I take the ubuntu 4.4 and knock it back to non-pae what does it need [00:52] phillw, it needs PAE configuration turned off [00:52] in the config [00:52] apw: the kernel would boot, I apologise as I'm going back to 3.13 which was 14,04 [00:52] just thought that I would let you guys know to get this on the radar for 16.04 [00:53] utlemming, well its filed againsts the wrong package, so a good job you did bring it up [00:53] are we sure this isn't the load being reported higher becuase the cpu is being clocked slower to save power that cking investigated though [00:53] jsalisbury, ^ a bug for investigation perhaps, and moving to linux [00:54] apw, ack, I'll take a look [00:54] apw: whoops, and thank you :) [00:54] apw: I have that part, it worked well, but the kernel so produced needed aufs - that part of the instructions I have lost over the last couple of years. I know that non-pae is not high on the list and I reckon I could still manage that, but the aufs for live CD boot I'm 2 years behind on. [00:55] phillw, iso does not require aufs, it requires overlayfs, but both of those are in the ubuntu 4.4 kernel and enabled [00:55] phillw, so i still do not know what you are asking me [00:58] apw: would you be so kind as to look over https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw/non-pae and either write a long list of where things have changed, or have an edit. It's not the biggest job. [00:59] apw: I'll buy you coffee :D [01:02] it looks close enough [01:03] apw: so, we do not need to add in aufs now.. it is in the main kernel? ... I'm starting to remember that it was actually a bug back then :) [01:04] phillw, all of our kernel sources have the bits they need to make an ISO work, and it all enaled [01:04] enabled [01:04] apw: I owe you coffee.. please email me your ppal name to phillw@linuxpadawan.net [01:04] phillw, no need [01:05] apw: do we still turn off the CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO [01:05] phillw, if you are building out of PPA yes, in PPA no [01:06] apw: Why does a local build produce such enormous packages? Our build includes CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO in order to produce linux-debug-image packages. We then manually strip the modules after build. [01:07] it is about those being 5GB in size [01:07] maybe a little large for a cd :) [01:08] hehe... thanks a lot. i will be honest, I was expecting "you want to do WHAT?!!", instead you have told me that I can at least have a 1st roll of the 4.4 kernel [01:10] apw: last big ask... what is the link for xenial 4.4 as opposed to  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+source/linux/3.13.0-8.27/+files/linux_3.13.0.orig.tar.gz ? [01:11] phillw, you should work from the git repo, apply the config delta, then you can rebase it later [01:15] apw: that will make more sense to a padawan who wants to learn deeper kernel, But with others sniggering in other channel as I explain I do not understand. could you explain "you should work from the git repo, apply the config delta, then you can rebase it later" to some one who does not use git ? [01:18] wxl: and it appears that aufs is now enabled by default, instead of what melodie and my self had to do with the 3.13 kernel for 14,04 [01:19] phillw, git is a version control system, i am suggsting you get your source from our master git repo [01:19] do the configuration edit in that tree [01:19] and then commit that, as that is then rebasable [01:21] apw: all I need to do is alter the " High Memory Support" from 64GB to 4 GB and then respin the kernel. [01:21] sounds abut right [01:22] the requirement for non-PAE kernel is growing smaller, but as lubuntu and other teams do support older kit.. I do make available such a kernel for community repsins. [01:23] phillw, it woul dmake sense to do that via a PPA imo [01:25] apw: Well, I'd have to ask for help on that... it is an area well out of my known stuff..... But, I do have a guy who knows c, etc building debs etc and would like to get to understand kernel building a lot more. [01:26] It is actually having him as a padawan that reminded me that I may may be due to make a new 4.4 kernel (at least ubuntu and kernel are back in sync) [01:27] phillw, all you need to do is apply the delta change, and build a src package as normal (you do that already for other packages) and upload that to a ppa [01:28] okies, great!! [05:55] \exit [09:16] smb: it's me, for real! [09:17] ppisati: who are you? liar! [09:19] ppisati_, suffering from (net) split personalities [13:16] jsalisbury: hi [18:19] jsalisbury: 4.4.0-040400rc1-generic == FAIL [18:20] jsalisbury: holler when you have your first kernel in the bisect series for me? [18:35] lamont, I'll start the build now [18:38] kewl [18:40] jsalisbury: curious -- how long is your buildtime? [18:41] lamont, probably about 20 minutes [18:41] * lamont as an appt that he will be leaving for in about 5 minutes, back in about 2 hours or so.. [18:41] lamont, there will be about 10 of them to test, so I'll just keep posting links in the bug [18:41] which is to say, I'll test it when I get back... [18:41] jsalisbury: works for me === Elimin8er is now known as Elimin8or [20:42] jsalisbury: hi, again [20:44] cristian_c, hey [20:48] jsalisbury: I've read your question in launchpad [20:54] jsalisbury: sorry, I've never created a patch file [20:57] cristian_c, that's not a problem. I can submit it, I wasn't sure if you discussed the fix with upstream or not. [20:59] jsalisbury: ok [21:03] jsalisbury: empty directory at your lin [21:03] link [21:03] lamont, ok, let me check [21:05] lamont, ok, they are there now. [21:05] yep [21:13] jsalisbury: updating the bug: good kernel [21:13] lamont, great, I'll build the next one [21:14] bonus points if you put it somewhere I can rsync... [21:14] will this next one be 4.3.0-040301? [21:14] or should I clear out the test each round? [21:16] lamont, the script used to build the kernels puts a date stamp in the name, and it could start with 4.4 as it bounces back and forth between good and bad kernels. [21:16] ack [21:16] * lamont clears out the cruft, just to be sure [21:26] lamont, The next kernel is building. I just scp the .deb files to that public web server. I can scp them anywhere you want, as long as I have access. [21:32] jsalisbury: mombin.c.c:~/lamont would be a fine target [21:37] lamont, is that accessable from the Canonical network? I can't seem to get there [21:38] * lamont is going over the vpn, but it should otherwise be reachable [21:38] alternatively, sftp to people.u.c [21:39] which doesn't help me.. so nm people.u.c [21:40] lamont, I can get to mombin, so I'll put them in your home directory [21:40] ~/lamont, not ~lmaont [21:40] that is, toss 'em where you can put them (write perms being such), and I'll pul from your home dir [21:40] we have read access to each other's directories, but not write [21:41] lamont, ok, I'll just put em in my home dir [21:45] lamont, looks like my build server can't get to mombin or people, but my desktop can. The next kernel is ready so I'll just scp it to kernel.ubuntu.com and see if I can figure out a way for you to rsync [21:45] sure [21:46] jsalisbury: from the land of hahaha lamont, I have a login on kernel.u.c, beacuse of kernel-team [21:46] rather, kernel_devs [21:46] so definitely just throw it somehwere there [21:47] lamont, ok, next kernel is there. I posted to the bug to, so I can keep track of where we are in the bisect and what kernels were good/bad [21:47] yep [21:52] jsalisbury: good. updated.
