cariboumorning, is there a 'trick' in the kernel build sequence to avoid changing the ABI during the build ?11:07
caribouI'm trying to only rebuilt the bzImage for a kernel bissect w/o rebuilding all the modules11:07
caribouIs forcing ABINUM in debian/rules sufficient ?11:09
apwcaribou, what are you doing, adding a patch oro something ?11:11
caribouapw: just bissecting b/w two kernel version (4.7 <-> 4.8) to identify a problematic commit11:12
apwslam skipabi=true skipmodule=true (or is that skipmodules=true) on the build11:12
caribouapw: ok, will try that11:13
robertfossapw: ^11:59
apwrobertfoss, ?  (assume i have the memory of a goldfish on Temazepam12:00

robertfossapw: you mentioned some kernel patches to get it compiling with gcc 6.213:35
apwoh that, i think i mentioned to work with pie, but i think we are using gcc5 for kernels13:35
mamarleyI haven't tried the regular kernel in a while, but the mainline kernels are still compiled with GCC 6.  I know the 4.4 kernel that was in Yakkety for a while was compiled with GCC 5 though.13:37
robertfossmamarley, apw: I just ran a git clone from trunk on a 16.10 box, but it does not compile due to PIE/PIC issues13:38

apwrobertfoss, might be that one, that is meant to be making its way upstream from the author13:41
robertfossapw: thank you! I'll check it out13:44
michael-vbHello all.  Sorry for this hit-and-run reporting (have to move fast, but will stay logged in).16:02
michael-vbI reported a couple of days ago that recent daily builds did not work in a 32-bit VirtualBox VM - the first modeset happens after grub, but the first kernel message does not.16:02
michael-vbWanted to say that 4.9.0rc1 still shows the same.16:02
michael-vb(Afk, but will read the scroll-back later.)16:03
jacalopeHello folks, I'm having a perpetual kernel panic after trying to return from suspend in my Samsung laptop using (K)ubuntu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/23339007/16:38
jacalope4.4.0-* kernels panic, but if I go back to 4.2.0-38-generic, I can get in.16:40
jacalopeThe link is where I booted with a liveusb and got dmesg and dump files from var/crash -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/23339007/16:41
jacalopeUsing 16.0416:42
apwjacalope, that looks like a very unhappy wireless driver or something like that16:44
apwjacalope, if you file an actual bug we can do a bisection on that maybe16:44
apwjsalisbury, ^16:44
jacalopeapw: thanks. I'm trying to work through filing it as a bug. First time doing that, so it's a bumbling process :)16:54
jacalopeapw: Wait. Should I file with ubuntu/launchpad, or directly with linux/kernel?16:57
apwjacalope, i'd start with us, we cna tell you to do that if we cannot help16:59
jsalisburyapw, ack17:00
jsalisburyjacalope, from a terminal run this: ubuntu-bug linux17:01
jacalopejsalisbury: That returns a "the problem cannot be reported" dialog box from apport-- Of course I've booted using an older 4.2 kernel so its message makes sense to me. 17:04
jacalopeSince the 4.4 kernel panicked, do I need to file bug another way?17:05
jsalisburyjacalope, you can also go directly to the launchpad web interface: 17:05
jsalisburyhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+filebug17:05
michael-vb(Back briefly...) (18:02:37) michael-vb: Hello all.  Sorry for this hit-and-run reporting (...)17:24
michael-vbWould be interested if anyone knows more about that.17:24
apwmichael-vb, with yakkey ?17:27
michael-vbRight.17:33
michael-vb4.8.0 worked fine, everything I tried since 4.8.0-999 October 11 hung, including 4.9.0rc1.17:33
michael-vb(Really have to run, will stay logged in...)17:34
apwi guess i want to know what you mean by 4.8.0, is that the official yakkety kernels ?17:35
apwthe others you are mentioning are mainline builds, so often don't work with corner cases17:36
jacalopejsalisbury: apw: I submitted a bug report regarding the kernel panic: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/163421417:55
ubot5`Ubuntu bug 1634214 in linux (Ubuntu) "kernel panic on resume from suspend with 4.4.0 kernels" [Undecided,New]17:55
jacalopeI did my best, if any more info is needed I am more than obliged to provide.17:55
rtgjacalope, try 'sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi' before you close the lid.17:59
jacalopertg: will be happy to, but I can't get back into any of my 4.4 kernels at the moment18:00
jacalopethat removes the wireless driver before suspending, right?18:00
rtgjacalope, right, looks like your wifi adapter is an older model (i2400), though I am still looking18:01
rtgis this really WiMAX ?18:02
jacalopeIt has WiMAX, yes, but I've never used that particular functionality18:05
rtgjacalope, that appears to be what is crashing.  Once you can get booted into a 4.4 kernel please attach the list of modules (lsmod)18:06
jacalopeI've never really understood what the WiMAX is for, tbh. WiFi functionality has worked pretty well, except for the occasional > service network-manager restart trick18:06
rtgjacalope, WiMAX is a different kind of wireless, but it is sort of a failed technology18:07
jacalopeYeah, booting into 4.4 is the current issue. The system just hangs with the kernel panic. Is there a way around that?18:07
rtgjacalope, can you boot into an older kernel ? catch the boot process at the grub prompt ?18:08
jacalopeLike, is there a locked file or something? Every 4.4 kernel I have is panicking, but the 4.2 lets me in. Seems odd to me since I've used 4.4 for months18:08
jacalopeyeah, I can get into grub and 4.218:08
rtga 4.2 kernel should be fine for getting the modules list. you can also blacklist the i2400 driver once you've got a filesystem mounted.18:09
jacalopertg: ok, I've attached the lsmod output to the bug report.18:12
rtgjacalope, ok, read up on http://askubuntu.com/questions/110341/how-to-blacklist-kernel-modules and blacklist i2400m and i2400m_usb.18:14
rtgjacalope, this also has some good tricks, especially at the end using the kernel command line: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/kernel_modules18:16
jacalopeok, scanning now. Just to confirm, add the "blacklist xxxx" lines at the end of blacklist.conf? (There seem to be files specializing in some way, e.g. blacklist-modem.conf etc.)18:18
apwjacalope, you could make a like blacklist-jackalope.conf as long as it ends .conf18:19
jacalopeok, so I added my blacklist-jacalope.conf file (thanks for that btw) and rebooted into 4.2. lsmod doesn't report i2400m or i2400m_usb.18:30
jacalopeHowever, 4.4 still seems to panic, or at leas the visual results appears the same18:30
hans109hcan someone help explain why every 15 minutes my kernel log says kernel: [ 1682.088022]  sda:20:11
