wgetHi guys. Wrt a question I posted here during the week-end, but as you were absent, let me ask it again.10:27
wgetGuys: I had a discussion ages ago with one of your kernel maintainer about this topic, and it's still not resolved and still impacting Ubuntu (while haven't tested 15.x nor 16.x series).10:27
wgethttps://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7538110:27
wgetthat bug is related to this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1269883?comments=all10:27

davmor2wget: is it using kernel mod alx by any chance?10:36
davmor2wget: I ask due to this issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/616182/alx-on-ar8191-does-not-appear-to-be-working-15-04/620489#62048910:36
wgetdavmor2:  lsmod |grep alx doesn't report anything when the adapter is connected10:38
wgetso I assume it isn't using that mod10:38

TJ-I've got a live issue here right now with 16.04, wonder if anyone has some ideas? GUI user with $HOME/.Xauthority file, which is subsequently "mount --bind /dev/shm/user/.Xauthority $HOME/.Xauthority" .. "xauth -f ... list" shows the MIT_MAGIC_COOKIE on both 'sides' identical... but then, after doing "xauth -f /dev/shm/user/.Xauthority generate :0 ." the cookies on each side of the bind mount differ11:01
TJ-and a hash of the file confirms the actual files are different - the 'target' doesn't reflect the content of the updated 'source'. Is this a weird kernel issue?11:01
apwTJ-, you are bind mounting a file ?11:07
apwTJ-, it looks like so, if so, it could well be linking the new name to the original inode11:08
TJ-apw: yes, correct, ahhhh and xauth (I read the source!) does a hard-link rename!11:08
TJ-apw: THANK you!! This has been causing some automation bugs that have been very annoying11:09
apwyou can prolly prove that by linking the original file to a temp name before you replace the auth11:09
TJ-so, need to figure out a workaround11:09
apwand then catting into the extra name, and see if the one on the real home then changes11:10
TJ-yeah, that makes sense now. OK, so we just need to take care of the timing of the --bind 11:10
apwsymlink the .Xauthority into a like .config/Xauthority/.Xauthority11:11
apwand bind mount the .config/Xauthority perhaps ?11:11
apwor .config11:11
TJ-apw: that did it, thanks :)11:26
spiceHi all! I have to following issue: I develop a Linux network driver. The driver compiled and worked without any issues. After I upgraded the gcc package on my Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS machine, the kernel module produces paging bugs.12:44
godspice, what did you upgrade from, to?12:56
spicethat is a good question ... I think it was a rahter minor gcc upgrade13:00
spiceright now it is:  4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.3 Before it might have been 4.8.4-1ubuntu.... or so.13:01
spiceIs there any way to reinstall previous version of packages to make sure my claim is correct?13:01
apwspice, yes, all old versions are available via the launchpad librarian13:04
apwhttps://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-4.8/+publishinghistory13:04
spiceokay, i will try that and see if this is definitely the culprit of my problem. Thank you for now!13:07
apwspice, it is not uncommon for a gcc upgrade to expose existing bugs through changes in optmisation, the -fpie becoming default in yakkety is finding all sorts of latent bugs13:08
tseliotrtg: all the nvidia drivers should be fixed in 16.10 now14:38
tseliotmamarley: ^14:39
rtgtseliot, thanks, I'll get the kernel ADT tests re-ran14:41
tseliotrtg: yes, as soon as the nvidias are published14:42
rtgright14:42
tseliot(I've just uploaded the fixes)14:42
