[00:08] <djs> is there any reason the new 4.7.0 mainline kernel would not want to decrypt the rootfs on boot?
[00:09] <djs> tried upgrading today but my disk is encrypted and 4.7.0 doesn't ask for a passphrase
[00:09] <djs> ubuntu 14.04
[07:55] <apw> djs, no known reason, the configs for those are generated from what is nearest so things can get lost
[07:55] <apw> they are only test builds
[12:49] <sforshee> smb: do you know if we still have utilities expecting xenbus to be mounted at /proc/xen?
[12:49] <smb> sforshee, yeah I was asked the same just a couple of minutes ago
[12:50] <sforshee> smb: oh, hah, I'm sure it's the same issue
[12:50] <smb> its those xe-guest-utilities which mount it so the guest can fill some guest data into the xenstore of the host
[12:51] <sforshee> smb: I just noted that there's a CONFIG_XEN_COMPAT_XENFS option which controls whether /proc/xen is created, and notes that it's for "old xenstore" tools
[12:56] <smb> sforshee, I had a look into the startup script of dom0 and those still want /proc/xen. So I have afeeling its less legacy than it sounds
[12:58] <sforshee> smb: ack, thanks
[17:15] <xboy> Hi there!
[17:15]  * apw looks up
[17:15] <xboy> I was wondering if ubuntu 16.10 going to have the kernel 4.6 or above ?
[17:16] <apw> xboy, yes, we have a 4.6 kernel pending now, which i hope to release when the freeze lifts for alpha2, 4.7 is being prepared
[17:16] <xboy> great!
[17:18] <xboy> I'm having trouble installing ubuntu 16.04 in a lenovo yoga 900, because of the nvme ssd, apw do you know if the kernel 4.6 have a good support for that kind of ssd?
[17:20] <apw> xboy, depends what sort of nvme disk it is, i have heard peopel saying nvme "version 2" disks are a problem but i have not seen any evidence
[17:20] <apw> xboy, does the disk even get recognised ?
[17:25] <xboy> no, during installation process(live usb) the system does not recognize the disk 
[17:25] <apw> xboy, how are you determining that, not offering a disk to install to ?
[17:26] <apw> if you boot "Try Ubuntu" on it, and open a terminal, is the disk mentioned at all in dmesg
[17:26] <xboy> apw it's a samsung mzvlv512hcjh
[17:26] <apw> i can have a look at the dmesg if you can pastebinit or similar
[17:26] <xboy> give a sec. going to see dmesg 
[17:28] <apw> xboy, and indeed what does "sudo lswh -c disk" say
[17:29] <xboy> ok, going to check
[17:41] <xboy> almost ready
[17:46] <xboy> here it's apw http://paste.ubuntu.com/21167215/
[17:46] <xboy> dmesg output
[17:48] <xboy> apw http://paste.ubuntu.com/21167520/ for the lshw command
[17:49] <apw> xboy, and if you "sudo modprobe nvme" does anything appear in the bottom of dmesg /
[17:50] <xboy> no, nothing apw
[17:55] <xboy> do you know what can I do so the system can detect it?
[17:55] <apw> xboy, at this moment, no. 
[17:57] <xboy> do you know if the kernel 4.6 or 4.7 can help me apw?
[17:57] <apw> xboy, i do not
[17:57] <xboy> thank you apw!
[17:58] <xboy> oh one more question apw, do you know who can help me? 
[17:59] <apw> xboy, from what i can see you are not the only one complaining, and the issue seems to affect linux in gneeral
[17:59] <apw> there is some discussion out there that suggests there may be something in bios, but not what
[18:02] <xboy> ohh ok, I'm going to try to talk to samsung
[18:03] <xboy> or where can I find a ubuntu live usb with a newer kernel(maybe that helps)?
[18:04] <apw> there is no installer image yet with a newer kernel, there may well be by next week, but not now
[18:06] <xboy> will wait then, thanks!
[18:06] <apw> xboy, i believe there is some work looking into this going on somewhere, i just do not know who right now
[18:09] <xboy> ok great, any idea where can I search?
[18:12] <apw> this was something i heard spoken about ...
[18:13] <xboy> oh ok
[21:53] <apw> ogra_, which package were you seeing us pointing to /GPL ?  i have looked over the primary kernels and they all point to /GPL-2
[21:54] <ogra_> apw, meta 
[21:54] <ogra_> iirc
[21:54] <xboy> Are you there apw?
[21:54] <apw> ogra_, ahh yes, ok, thanks
[21:55] <xboy> If I download the latest kernel from ubuntu mainline, where I can find the vmlinuz and initrd.lz?
[21:59] <apw> xboy, the vmlinuz is in the linux-image-* the initrd is made when installed
[22:01] <xboy> ok thanks
[22:31] <attente> hi, how do i pass -no-pie when building the kernel? is there some env var i should set?
[23:01] <djs> apw: any ideas on how I might debug the 4.7.0 mainline kernel's failure to ask for a passphrase to decrypt the rootfs on boot?
[23:02] <djs> I assume the problem is in the initrd or initramfs-tools somewhere
