=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
c_smithso I've already filed a bug for my issue (regarding ohci_pci  dropping 2 specific USB ports) but I'm mainly here to see if I can at least help find a temporary workaround for the issue since booting isn't of help since the issue happens roughly a minute after boot every boot now, I wonder if unloading and reloading the ohci_pci module would help at all and is reasonably safe04:27
apwc_smith, normally dropping a module is meant to be safe, worth trying. if you let us know the bug number we might be able to suggest something more07:56

smoserhey. 13:02
smoseri'm looking for some education13:02

smoserhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/23274982/13:03
smoserthat runs in a chroot of one ubuntu release that is not necessarily the same as the host13:04
smoserthe chroot doesn't have /lib/modules/$(uname -r). so 'modprobe' will fail to load overlayfs or overlay if you did that.13:04
smoserbut somehow 'mount -t overlayfs' gets it mounted13:04
apwsmoser, the kernel can load things too13:04
smoserthe mount abi call must just ask the kernel to mount of that type, and then the kernel loads it by the fs-NAME alias ?13:05
apwfs/filesystems.c:       if (!fs && (request_module("fs-%.*s", len, name) == 0))13:05
smoserhm.. that sucks.13:06
smosermeans that my code that says "can i use overlay" is needing fixing as it relies on being able to load the module or have it in /proc/filesystems already. :-(13:07
smoserapw, so other places i have done in the past 'modprobe nbd' is there any way to get similar behavior for that ?13:08
apwfrom inside a container, not to my knowledge13:09
apwsnapd seems to have to hand it out to snapd itself for execution so i assume not13:09
apwi assume they have found no way to do it13:09
apwsmoser, but why do you care?  can you not literally mount -t overlay || mount -t overlayfs13:10
apwsmoser, or just assume based on version number ?13:11
ogra_smoser, https://github.com/snapcore/snapd/blob/master/docs/interfaces.md#kernel-module-control ... ?13:11
ogra_(in case you want to load a module from a snapped up thing) 13:11
mjg59smoser: The only reliable way to determine whether the kernel can do something is to try to do it and see what error you get back13:13
smoseri'd rather not loop over attempts to mount something.13:18
apwthen use the kernel version number13:18
one|2infinity: where is tim?13:59
apwone|2, which tim14:00
one|2apw: tim working on the kernel14:00
* ogra_ guesses tim is at home 14:14
ogra_(if he doesnt travel that is)14:14
apwone|2, are you asking his timezone or if he is here now, he is here now14:17
one|2tim the nascar video is still running14:36
one|2this looks like the oracle kernel14:37
one|2PaulW2U: hello15:12
om26erjsalisbury, Hi! re: bug 1627108 the first debs that you gave me contain the regression.16:56
ubot5bug 1627108 in linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) "X1Carbon comes to a crawl during high CPU usage tasks" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/162710816:56
jsalisburyom26er, ack, thanks for testing.  I'll build the next kernel and post when it's ready.16:57
jtaylorhi, the lts-yakkety kernel (-20) from the dev ppa can't mount my lvm raid1 devices do to unknown compatibility flags, is this a known issue?17:21
