infinityxnox: Those tasks are added by a script that the security team uses to track CVEs.  They tend to prefer if others don't touch them. :P00:46
infinityxnox: Also, we maintain some kernels upstream (3.13, 3.16, 3.19, 4.2), and we absolutely apply CVE fixes for arches we don't ship in our upstream stable trees.00:47
infinityxnox: (Not everything is about contracts)00:47
xnoxinfinity, oh.01:14
xnoxsbeattie, in that case i probably did more harm than good.01:14
xnoxsbeattie, i'm sorry if i messed things up.01:16
sbeattiexnox: yeah, sorry, script on autopilot. I don't think you did any harm (well, it'll gripe at me about the deleted tasks, but that just means it goes on a list of other bugs that have the same issue)06:47

tjaaltonis there a known issue with the keyboard getting stuck on resume?12:10
tjaaltonhmm, maybe it's just with my test versions.. I blame libinput12:11
apwtjaalton, not seen that here12:23
tjaaltoni have that on two systems, it's actually hard to resume if it's suspended by hotkey.. since it keeps suspending a number of times12:24
tjaaltonand that then seems to break iwlwifi, nice12:24
apwtjaalton, sounds about right to me :)12:24
tjaaltoni really don't understand those who demand intel wifi.. it's been nothing but crap on all my systems12:24
apwtjaalton, but at least it is open source crap ... i have much worse experiences with things that needed wl12:26
tjaaltonthat's true, but then there's the fw component too12:26
apwyep, we get regular updates for iwlfw, it is clearly a work in progress12:26
apwand if you are holding the suspend button down, i am sure that is ripping and reinstalling and ripping the h/w out every time12:27
apwwhich is bound to push the races in teh driver to their limit12:27
tjaaltonright, iwlwifi seems to crap itself on it's own though, after a few cycles. but then again this is intel sdp so all bets are off as always12:28
apwand that12:34
netikrasHello boys14:56
netikrasIs this the right channel for queries regd http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ?14:56
netikrasWhichever 4.x version I try to install (.deb), I get a few error messages: due to -Werror virtualbox-client and ndiswrapper fail to install14:58
netikrasI can dump logs here or I could fill-in a bug report. I just can't find where to register a new bug.....15:04
apwnelhage, those are mainline kernels, they are for testing only, it is highly likely they are ahead of teh supported versions in dkms packages ...16:02
kernelbugCould someone do a bisection between 3.18.26 and .27 ?????16:39
kernelbugI think I found a bug.16:39
kernelbugI use Mint and .27 hangs on the logo screen, .26 works fine.16:39
kernelbughttp://expirebox.com/download/b57059eb53fedc4d8fd6f85da506a242.html16:41
kernelbugHere are the dmesg files.16:41
kernelbugI guess they won't help but anyway.16:41
kernelbugAm I in a wrong channel?16:46
ogra_for mint questions ? perhaps ...16:47
kernelbugI'm using Ubuntu mainline kernel!16:47
kernelbugFFS!16:47
ogra_mainline ?16:47
ogra_or ubuntu ? 16:47
mamarleyI think there may be a regression in suspend functionality for the Thinkpad T530 between Wily and Xenial.  On Wily, suspend works great but on Xenial if I suspend more that two times, it hangs while suspending.  I am about to try the 4.2 mainline kernel on Xenial and see if that makes a difference.16:47
kernelbugThese... http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/16:47
ogra_(the mainline build is completely unsupported ... )16:47
ogra_(it is just to verify bugs)16:48
kernelbugHehheh...16:48
kernelbugI need to verify a bug then. :)16:48
ogra_also pleaae watch your language 16:48
kernelbugWhat language? Check all the three-letter acronyms and their meanings... :)16:49
ogra_against which ubuntu kernel are you verifying ?16:49
kernelbugBetween 3.18.26 and 3.18.27... .27 is which fails.16:50
ogra_there is no ubuntu version in that list 16:50
ogra_you seem to compare one mainline build against another ?16:50
kernelbugYes.16:51
kernelbugI use mainline kernels in Mint.16:51
ogra_yes, you said so ... 16:51
apwwhy 3.18 of all versions ?16:51
kernelbugThey won't support those kernels either. ;)16:51
ogra_and i said mainline kernels are not supported ... they exist to veryfy bugs against the ubuntu kernels 16:51
kernelbugI prefer stability.16:52
kernelbug3.18 is LTS anyway.16:52
kernelbugThat's another selling point for me. :)16:53
apwwhy not use an ubuntu kernle which is an lts16:53
kernelbugI'm using Mint.16:53
apwand mint uses ubuntu kernels right ?16:53
kernelbugIt's a modified Ubuntu kernel anyway.16:53
kernelbugYes, slightly modifies ones.16:53
ogra_apw, i dont think tehy do ... 16:53
kernelbugYes they do.16:53
ogra_they hack them up like theyy hack up half of the libs (while keeping versions and sonames)16:53
kernelbugogra don't ruin this conversation16:54
kernelbugyou are not very helpful16:54
kernelbuggo to hockey game if you want brainless entertainment :)16:54
ogra_kernelbug, this channnel is about ubuntu kernels ... you came here, cursing and trolling about stability to get support with a mainline build that isnt supported, what do you expect ? 16:55
kernelbugI need your help with the bisection.16:56
kernelbugIn other words how to do a git-bisect to generate Ubuntu mainline kernels to test bugs ?????16:58
ogra_https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection16:58
kernelbugOK.16:59
apwkernelbug, you need to pull the .config out of your current version and use that to build kernels using those two tags as bisect end points16:59
kernelbugMaybe it's "userspace" issue though.16:59
kernelbugapw, OK. :)17:00
kernelbugLots of work anyway.17:00
kernelbugI'm already burning out.17:00
kernelbugI'm too old for this shit! ;)17:00
kernelbugGotta talk with the Mint folks now.17:01
kernelbugSorry. ;)17:01
ogra_(they will probably tell you to use a mint kernel :) ... you are kind of between the worlds)17:01
mamarleyLooks like I am going to have to bisect a kernel too.  Mainline 4.2.8 (and Wily 4.2) has working suspend support on my T530, but Xenial 4.4 has broken suspend support.  Now I shall try 4.3...17:02
kernelbugogra_ yeah...17:02
kernelbugLike a child from a dysfunctional family, which I am...17:03
apwmamarley, if that is an ubuntu kernel you should file a bug, and someone will likely be able help17:05
mamarleyapw: I will once I isolate when it was introduced a bit more.  I am about to try 4.3 to see if the bug was introduced in 4.3 or 4.4.17:08
apwsounds good.  let us know the bug# here when you do17:09
mamarleySure.  I don't need someone to build the kernels for me though; I have a pretty beefy box that I can do it on.17:09
mamarleyI suppose I should probably try the 4.4 mainline kernel as well so I can figure out if the regression was introduced by something backported from 4.5.17:12
apwmamarley, if you are able to do it yourself, all the better17:12
mamarleyIt wouldn'17:12
mamarleyt be the first time :)17:12
kernelbugapw, you could help me too...17:13
kernelbugapw, even if it's mainline ;(17:13
apwit wouldn't be me, it would be someone who does those kinds of things when he finds bugs to work on17:13
mamarleyThe regression is definitely between 4.3 and 4.4 in mainline.17:20
kernelbugmamarley, we have similar problems.17:20
mamarleykernelbug: No, we do not.  Your login screen fails to display, my laptop fails to suspend.  I am running 4.4, you are running 3.18.  I am running Ubuntu Xenial, you are running Mint.17:21
kernelbugmamarley, how can you know?17:21
kernelbugmamarley, maybe the same bug applies to 4.4. :)17:22
mamarleyThe only similarity between our problems is that both require a bisect.17:22
kernelbughehe17:22
kernelbugbisection sounds brutal17:23
mamarleyIt isn't fun.17:36
mck182hi, I wanted to give a try to the latest mainline kernel to debug some issues I have with suspend, but it appears that installing it fails on compiling i915 dkms - http://paste.ubuntu.com/15416510/ - I'm not entirely sure how to proceed from here - is there any way to fix that issue?18:06
apwmck182, it is common for mainline kernels beyond ubuntu devleopment versions to break dkms packages and those won't get updated until the kernel moves forward in YY most likley18:08
mck182ah18:08
mck182apw: so no way for me to test the latest kernel until the intel driver is available for YY?18:08
apwdepends what the dkms package is18:09
mck182I don't even know tbh18:09
apwthen you might not be using it18:09
apwit might be cruft18:09
mck182I do have it loaded, I would assume it's the graphics driver18:09
apwmck182, hmm, that is an i915 driver ... i have literally no idea where that has come from18:12
apwmck182, can you tell me the package name ?18:12
apwthough i would say you don't need it with later kernels ... probaballyu18:13
mck182apw: which package? the kernel? or the dkms?18:13
apwthe dkms package which is exploding, i assume it has i915 in its name18:13
mck182apw: i915-4.0.4-3.19-dkms18:13
* mck182 looks for where it came from18:13
apwso i'd say that is redundant with any kernel after 3.19, but its not an archive package as far as i know18:14
apwis this a dell by any chance ?18:15
mck182apw: ah, then it may have come from the intel-linux-driver-installer thing...or the xorg-edgers18:15
mck182apw: no, macbook pro18:15
apwtjaalton, is thatone of yours ^ ?18:15
apwmck182, it has to be very old compared to xenial and later kernels18:15
apwso i would just rip it for those18:15
tjaaltonno intel provided dkms's at one point18:15
mck182apw: I'm runing wily fwiw18:15
apwtjaalton, they did?  woh, how do i not know this ... :/18:16
tjaaltonignorance is bliss18:16
apwtjaalton, are they in a PPA somewhere or off in intel.com somewhere18:16
tjaalton01.org18:16
tjaaltontheir quarterly stack18:16
apwugg18:16
mck182so, if I reboot into the newly installed mainline kernel (4.5), I should be fine without that dkms?18:17
mck182actually18:17
mck182that error I posted above is related only to the dkms, not the kernel itself, right?18:17
apwi'd say anything above 3.19 from the name18:17
apwlooks to be yes18:17
mck182alright18:17
mck182well I'll just try :)18:18
* mck182 reboots18:18
tjaaltonlooks like they still ship a dkms.. https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/15.10/main/pool/main/i/18:19
mck182hah, yeah, it works without any problem :)18:20
apwtjaalton, i thought we were sorting that for them via the i915_bpo nightmare we are carrying in everything18:24
tjaaltonthey have this DIY-thing for users18:25
tjaaltonand we're doing this for oem's not intel18:26
* mck182 still has a wonky suspend...so much for trying newer kernel18:26
* mck182 still has a wonky suspend...so much for trying newer kernel18:27
apwmck182, 100% wonkey or randomly so18:27
mck182apw: no change from the stock ubuntu kernel; my laptop wakes up after 4 seconds of suspend18:27
mck182is there any way to get the wakeup reason?18:27
mck182I'd like to know what is causing the wakeup18:28
apwmck182, there might be info in the order of the words in the dmesg output18:28
apwmck182, i would check the rtc alarm18:28
apwwindows tends to set that to wake up the machine now and again so it an check the battery and make it hibernate harder18:28
mck182apw: there's nothing :S I also tried the pm_trace, but that hangs the wakeup altogether and says /base/power/main18:28
mck182the only interesting thing from dmesg is "xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: System wakeup enabled by ACPI" when suspending18:30
mck182which is in line with /proc/acpi/wakeup18:31
mck182but I have no devices connected to this laptop18:31
mck182so must be something internal18:31
apwwhat does the rtc alarm say18:34
mck182apw: that's /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm right?18:35
apwthat sounds believeable, i think you can cat it18:35
mck182apw: so that's empty18:36
apwlikely not that then18:36
mck182well then there's /proc/driver/rtc18:37
mck182which has some stuff http://paste.ubuntu.com/15416793/18:37
mck182but I've no idea what that means or if it's relevant18:38
mck182also, rtcwake -m show says "alarm: off"18:40
apwthat sounds definative to me18:40
mck182unless it is set by something at suspend time18:41
mck182which would be strange18:41
mck182disabling the XHC1 wakeup disables the open-lid-wakeup -.-18:46
* mck182 wonders how did apple design this thing18:46
apwwith as little h/w as possible to make it cheap18:46
mck182looks like this bug btw https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/139147618:51
ubot5Launchpad bug 1391476 in linux (Ubuntu) "[MacBookPro11,1] Laptop wakes up while lid closed" [Medium,Expired]18:51
apwmck182, sounds liek there is at least something to try in there18:52
apwmck182, the echo thing, if that works then you could encode that in the pmsuspend world somewhere i am sure18:53
mck182apw: yeah it suggests disabling XHC1 from wakeup18:53
apwwhich sounds rather similar to your problem18:53
mck182apw: but as I sad above, that also breaks lid-open wakeup for me ( ._.)18:53
apwwell presumably you open lid and hit function and win18:53
apwor app or whatever dumb name the clover-leaf is called18:54
apwbut it may well be a programming the h/w problem, a problem that is hard to fix because the h/w is undocumented18:54
mck182indeed18:54
apwdelbieratly by apple to make sure their own os is better18:54
mck182although disabling the XHC1 also disables keyboard wakup18:54
mck182so the only way is to hit the power button...no big deal but...18:55
apwits prolly the touchpad, the screen touching it and waking the machine18:56
apwyou prolly have to turn the touchpad off somehow, and not the keyboard18:56
mck182hmmm18:56
apwto get the mac behaviour18:56
apwbut they are renound for randomness, like to use the SD card slot18:56
apwyou have to power up the phy for the ethernet18:57
mck182lemme test suspending without the lid closed and pressing the touchpad if that actually wakes it18:57
apwgood idea18:57
mck182well, didn't even have to get close to the touchpad, it wakes up all on its own without touching anything18:58
apwnot that then, but to be honest you are likely to never have a fix for that unless someone gets epically lucky18:59
mck182yeah, I guess18:59
apwsuch is the fate of those who buy macs :(19:00
apwshame they are so nice19:00
mck182well fwiw I do have a 2011 mac as well and that one works 140% great19:00
mck182but true, they did design these new ones from scratch19:00
apwthe only way to keep ahead of linux :)19:01
mck182heh19:01
mamarleyI don't even consider them nice.  They are impossible to work on and have everything soldered down on the mobo.19:01
mck182the latter is a real downside, but working on them...never had a problem really19:02
mck182and the touchpad is awesome19:02
mamarleyKernel bisection sucks.  This is going to take all weekend. :/19:06
apwmamarley, that sounds about right, builds are not quick19:06
apweven with an enormous hoover19:06
* mamarley has an i5-6600K box with an SSD.19:07
mamarleyIt can definitely heat up the room when I compile stuff.  I am glad I am not actually there right now. :)19:07
apwmamarley, how long does a build take ...19:09
mamarleyapw: Not sure, my last one got interrupted because the terminal application crashed.  I am measuring this one.  I will try -j8 instead of -j4 on the next one and see if that makes a difference.19:09
apwmck182, i've moved that bug back to Confirmed as you asre still seeing it19:10
apwmck182, feel free to add some info there19:10
mck182apw: yeah, the mainline 4.5.0 kernel definitely still has it19:10
mck182I can share my findings in there, sure19:10
mck182if I can remember my login... :P19:10
mck182ok done19:13
martink3tested the latest xenial iso on a file server featuring a ARC1882 RAID controller - got weird timeout issues.19:41
martink3Found out that mailine 4.4 features a buggy arcmsr driver, which "supports" the 1882, but not really... Areca seems to have managed to get a fixed driver into mainline 4.519:42
martink3any chance that the xenial kernel could backport that driver before release? what is the policy for that? it seems to be a small patch on arcmsr.h and arcmsr_hba.c ...19:44
apwmartink3, file a bug against the linux package, and put the infomration and proposed patches in there, and let me know the bug # here, and i'll get someone to make formal test kernel and if that works we can submit the patches for inclusion19:45
martink3will do tonight, thx!19:46
mamarleyapw: This build took 43m4.491s, though a good half of that it spent building the -dbg package.19:46
mamarleyIs there perhaps some way I can tell it not to build that particular package?19:46
apwyep do_debug=false or something grep for debug in debian/rules19:48
mamarleyOK, thanks!19:48
mamarleyExcept there is no debian/rules here, I am building the mainline kernel with deb-pkg...19:49
mamarleyWait nevermind, there is a debian directory.19:50
mamarleyBut it is very minimalistic and doesn't have anything about debug in it.19:51
mamarleyIt doesn't really matter.  -dbg is the last thing it builds, so I can just kill it after it builds the packages I actually need.19:52
apwahh ok20:01
