lucnxHow does one debug the ubuntu kernel once it is compiled00:57
alkisgHi, with an ubuntu 16.04.2 live CD I'm getting 100 times slower *write* speeds in both HDD and SDD, compared to an 12.04.3 live CD09:34
alkisgdd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/sda1/test bs=1M count=1000 => 600 MB/sec in 12.04.3, and 6 MB/sec in 16.04.209:34
alkisgThe read speed, measured e.g. with hdparm, is unaffected09:34
alkisgWhere would I report that issue, and which info would I need to include?09:35
apwalkisg, file a bug against the kernel with the details of the kerenl versions in each09:54
apwand paste the bug number here, so we can find09:54
alkisg(just tried with 4.4 and it works fine)09:54
ograhmm, i have an arm board with no wlan on board that always loads the cfg80211 module unconditionally ... and obviously that resets the network all 360 minutes ... if i unload or  blacklist the module this doesnt happen 09:56
alkisgThank you apw, against ubuntu-kernel or upstream kernel?09:59
apwi'd start against the ubuntu kernel (ubuntu-bug linux)10:00
alkisgThank you very much, will do so10:05
ckingalkisg, and I'll pick that bug up and look into it10:12
alkisgcking: thank you very much; I will do it tomorrow because the school that has that issue has closed for today. It was on a asus prime b250 plus motherboard.10:12
ckingalkisg, ok, if you can provide info on the H/W and memory size and media you are using in the bug report then that would be helpful10:15
apwcking, i am suspicious this is a media kernel issue only10:17
apwif we were seeing it with updated machines we would have a lot of whining in our lives10:17
ckingapw, indeed10:17

user14241Hi! I just installed mainline kernel from drm-tip, arch amd64, version 994. The problem is that pulseaudio and alsa do not detect my soundcard, its snd-emu10k1. I can find the driver in/lib/modules/4.12.0-994-generic/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1 however. Any ideas?20:06
user14241I am using Ubuntu 16.04 lts20:06
user14241"aplay -l" only returns hda-intel, but lspci sees the card fine. It also works with regular HWE kernel (4.10), but I need newer kernel due to radeon-related crashes.20:08
apwuser14241, the only advice i can think of it to try modprobe'ing the driver manually and see what it says about your card20:27
user14241apw, I have, but no output in dmesg|tail. However, I found this manually grepping the kern.log:20:28
user14241"[   35.659024] snd_emu10k1: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -14"20:28
user14241thanks..20:29
apw-rc tips like that often have horrible bugs, and they get resolved "later"20:29
user14241apw, well the three "drm-next" from the tail do not even boot.20:30
apwyep, doen't supprise me they are built so they can be tested to find that kind of boot issue20:31
user142412017-06-07 hangs, 2017-05-31 and 2017-05-30 draw a white line on black screen right after boot, and hang20:31
user14241apw, can you suggest a drm-next that does would boot? :)20:32
user14241"does would"->would20:32
apwuser14241, heh, no not something i keep tabs on, we make those for the graphics dudes20:32
user14241apw, thanks. Is there a difference between "4.12-rc" and "drm-next" kernels, or are they same?20:33
user14241I am just looking for newer radeon code20:34
apwuser14241, yes the drm-next have whatever the drm people are intending to merge in the next merge window20:34
user14241the 4.10 and 4.8 are very unstable on R9 28020:34
apwso right now 4.13 planned stuff20:34
user14241apw, ah, so "drm-next"  with 4.12, is newer than "v4.12-rc"* ?20:35
apwwell you never know what they are based on it, could be a random 4.11, but normally yes20:35
apwit is the drm maintainers testing tree, it has whatever they want20:36
user14241I think I should have more lucky with 4.12-rc (non-drm-next).20:36
user14241yes, it definitely has a broken audio driver (but hdmi on  tahiti gpu detected fine) in "tip" and "drm-next" does not even start.20:37
user14241apw, anyways, thank you very much. Looks like I got myself a borked kernel. :)20:37
user14241apw, thank you, all the best to you!20:39
tomreynwould anyone know how to trigger a canonical livepatch run after it failed to apply?23:03
tomreynthis software is pretty good in not disclosing how it works :-/23:03
cjwatsontomreyn: "sudo pkill -HUP -f canonical-livepatchd" should do it23:26
cjwatsontomreyn: (disclaimer: I've never worked on the livepatch client, and this is just from looking through the slightly old copy of the code that I have access to)23:27
cjwatsontomreyn: but the copy I can see has a SIGHUP handler that does just a check-and-apply-if-possible and nothing else23:28
