=== JanC_ is now known as JanC
[04:27] <c_smith> so 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 safe
[07:56] <apw> c_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 more
=== sts_ is now known as sts
[13:02] <smoser> hey. 
[13:02] <smoser> i'm looking for some education
[13:03] <smoser> https://pastebin.canonical.com/166997/
[13:03] <smoser> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23274982/
[13:04] <smoser> that runs in a chroot of one ubuntu release that is not necessarily the same as the host
[13:04] <smoser> the chroot doesn't have /lib/modules/$(uname -r). so 'modprobe' will fail to load overlayfs or overlay if you did that.
[13:04] <smoser> but somehow 'mount -t overlayfs' gets it mounted
[13:04] <apw> smoser, the kernel can load things too
[13:05] <smoser> the 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] <apw> fs/filesystems.c:       if (!fs && (request_module("fs-%.*s", len, name) == 0))
[13:06] <smoser> hm.. that sucks.
[13:07] <smoser> means 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. :-(
[13:08] <smoser> apw, so other places i have done in the past 'modprobe nbd' is there any way to get similar behavior for that ?
[13:09] <apw> from inside a container, not to my knowledge
[13:09] <apw> snapd seems to have to hand it out to snapd itself for execution so i assume not
[13:09] <apw> i assume they have found no way to do it
[13:10] <apw> smoser, but why do you care?  can you not literally mount -t overlay || mount -t overlayfs
[13:11] <apw> smoser, 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) 
[13:13] <mjg59> smoser: The only reliable way to determine whether the kernel can do something is to try to do it and see what error you get back
[13:18] <smoser> i'd rather not loop over attempts to mount something.
[13:18] <apw> then use the kernel version number
[13:59] <one|2> infinity: where is tim?
[14:00] <apw> one|2, which tim
[14:00] <one|2> apw: tim working on the kernel
[14:14]  * ogra_ guesses tim is at home 
[14:14] <ogra_> (if he doesnt travel that is)
[14:17] <apw> one|2, are you asking his timezone or if he is here now, he is here now
[14:36] <one|2> tim the nascar video is still running
[14:37] <one|2> this looks like the oracle kernel
[15:12] <one|2> PaulW2U: hello
[16:56] <om26er> jsalisbury, Hi! re: bug 1627108 the first debs that you gave me contain the regression.
[16:56] <ubot5> bug 1627108 in linux (Ubuntu Yakkety) "X1Carbon comes to a crawl during high CPU usage tasks" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1627108
[16:57] <jsalisbury> om26er, ack, thanks for testing.  I'll build the next kernel and post when it's ready.
[17:21] <jtaylor> hi, 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?
