| LocutusOfBorg | hello apw, strange situation involving kernel | 08:16 |
|---|---|---|
| * apw looks up | 08:16 | |
| LocutusOfBorg | install inside virtualbox the new zesty iso image | 08:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | apt-get update && dist-upgrade (install proposed) | 08:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | install virtualbox-guest-x11 | 08:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | reboot | 08:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | blank screen | 08:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | something can't start the graphic | 08:16 |
| apw | hmm | 08:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | now, go in tty1 | 08:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | apt-get install virtualbox-guest-dkms | 08:17 |
| LocutusOfBorg | reboot, everything is fine, 3d acceleration works correctly | 08:17 |
| apw | hmmm so like vbox is just broke/missing in the kernel in -proposed ... | 08:17 |
| LocutusOfBorg | ok, the guest-dkms packages inside the kernel are 5.1.16 while the vbox modules are 5.1.18, but modules didn't change | 08:17 |
| apw | odder and odder | 08:18 |
| apw | sforshee, ^^ | 08:18 |
| apw | i | 08:18 |
| apw | i guess we need to try and reproduce that and see if we cna figure out what is off there | 08:18 |
| LocutusOfBorg | strange fact, it isn't missing | 08:18 |
| apw | is it loaded ? | 08:18 |
| * LocutusOfBorg reboots the machine | 08:19 | |
| apw | it might just be timing, or something odd | 08:19 |
| LocutusOfBorg | but why the dkms one is working? | 08:19 |
| LocutusOfBorg | yes, it is loaded | 08:19 |
| LocutusOfBorg | vboxsf vboxvideo vboxguest all loaded | 08:19 |
| LocutusOfBorg | (lsmod returns them as loaded) | 08:20 |
| LocutusOfBorg | now, I can force the vbox-guest-x11 to need virtualbox-guest-dkms, but seems strange | 08:20 |
| * LocutusOfBorg blacklists vboxvideo and retries | 08:23 | |
| * LocutusOfBorg nothing happens | 08:25 | |
| * LocutusOfBorg install dkms package and compares lsmod outputs | 08:26 | |
| LocutusOfBorg | nothing strange | 08:32 |
| LocutusOfBorg | even removing the dkms kernel modules works | 08:33 |
| LocutusOfBorg | now, the dkms is triggering some code that the kernel isn't | 08:34 |
| LocutusOfBorg | some postinst maybe | 08:34 |
| LocutusOfBorg | oh... udev :/ | 08:35 |
| LocutusOfBorg | apw, confirmed | 08:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/tree/debian/virtualbox-dkms.udev | 08:37 |
| apw | missing a udev script ? | 08:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | sorry | 08:37 |
| apw | oh when did that appear ? | 08:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/tree/debian/virtualbox-guest-dkms.udev | 08:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | this one | 08:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | KERNEL=="vboxguest", NAME="vboxguest", OWNER="root", MODE="0660" | 08:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | KERNEL=="vboxuser", NAME="vboxuser", OWNER="root", MODE="0666" | 08:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | adding this rule to your kernel works | 08:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | who should add it? | 08:38 |
| LocutusOfBorg | yes, a basic kernel without guest-dkms, and that rule added works | 08:39 |
| LocutusOfBorg | so, somewhere the kernel should add it? :) | 08:39 |
| apw | oh dear, that is as they say difficult, would you file a bug against linux, so i can think about how we handle that | 08:41 |
| apw | drop the bug number in here... | 08:41 |
| apw | as obviously we can only have one script but have three kernels installed | 08:41 |
| LocutusOfBorg | alternatively I can add such hack in virtualbox-guest-x11 instead | 08:42 |
| LocutusOfBorg | somewhere without the GL/EGL custom library everything "seems" to work | 08:42 |
| LocutusOfBorg | but you don't have 3d acceleration | 08:42 |
| * LocutusOfBorg opens a bug | 08:44 | |
| apw | LocutusOfBorg, drop the bug# here so i can find it; we have a lot fo bugs | 08:55 |
| LocutusOfBorg | yep | 09:10 |
| LocutusOfBorg | apw, I assigned LP: #1677170 to you | 09:16 |
| ubot5 | Launchpad bug 1677170 in linux (Ubuntu) "Linux vbox guest modules needs udev rule" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1677170 | 09:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | so you don't loose it :p | 09:16 |
| LocutusOfBorg | as usual feel free to downgrade reassign or to whatever you prefer | 09:17 |
