| ubot5` | Ubuntu bug 1766851 in linux-base (Ubuntu) "Missing `linux-update-symlinks` causes Linux package installation to fail" [Undecided,New] | 11:22 |
| === himcesjf_ is now known as him-cesjf | ||
| cascardo | PaulePanter: what were you trying to install that caused this? | 11:30 |
| PaulePanter | cascardo: The Linux package. | 11:30 |
| cascardo | well, let me look at the bug first, duh | 11:30 |
| cascardo | ah, so you are trying to install from a ppa | 11:31 |
| PaulePanter | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.17-rc2/ | 11:31 |
| cascardo | well, we are in the process of upgrading linux-base on xenial, may not happen at all | 11:31 |
| PaulePanter | Yes, it’s very handy for upstream testing. | 11:31 |
| cascardo | yeah, that should also be fixed to be a versioned depends on linux-base | 11:31 |
| cascardo | so apt won't even give you the option to install it, unless you upgrade linux-base too | 11:32 |
| cascardo | and, then, we either need to push that latest linux-base to that ppa, or just remove xenial from the ppa | 11:32 |
| cascardo | PaulePanter: or are you just downloading the deb packages and running dpkg? | 11:33 |
| cascardo | oh, yeah, that's not a proper ppa, and it says it's built for unstable | 11:34 |
| cascardo | well, let's see if that latest linux-base lands on xenial | 11:34 |
| PaulePanter | cascardo: Yes, I am downloading the packages manually and install them using `dpkg`. | 11:36 |
| PaulePanter | cascardo: There are a lot of guides, advising to do this for Ubuntu 16.04.3, and many upstream Linux kernel developers suggest that too. | 11:36 |
| PaulePanter | cascardo: It’d be really good to keep this working in 16.04.3. | 11:37 |
| leitao | Hi. I see kernel -20 just made on Bionic, but I do not see linux-image-extra for ppc64el. I.e, I can find linux-image-4.15.0-20-generic but not linux-image-extra-4.15.0-20-generic | 16:08 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | hey all. I'm having some problems compiling a kernel I just cloned from git | 16:09 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | specifically this git: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/unstable.git/ | 16:09 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | error is showing ./scripts/ubuntu-retpoline-extract-one: No such file or directory | 16:09 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | full build make-kpgk verbose output is here: https://paste.ee/p/erWzI | 16:09 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | just got booted over here from #kernel and #ubuntu | 16:09 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | what's up with retpoline-extract | 16:09 |
| cascardo | leitao: it's now called linux-modules-extra | 16:20 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | oh man! Life! | 16:20 |
| * _UsUrPeR_ waves at cascardo | 16:21 | |
| _UsUrPeR_ | any ideas about my compiling issue above? | 16:21 |
| leitao | cascardo, Ah, it just changed the name. | 16:21 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | I just went through a patching process to work out a DRI kernel bug, and can't compile the master branch from ubuntu/unstable | 16:21 |
| cascardo | leitao: you should use the meta packages :-) | 16:21 |
| leitao | cascardo, what meta packages exactly? | 16:22 |
| cascardo | leitao: linux-generic, or linux-image-generic | 16:23 |
| cascardo | linux-image-generic depends on the right linux-image and linux-modules-extra | 16:23 |
| cascardo | _UsUrPeR_: may you can try the "mainline" builds, there are even build for drm-next | 16:25 |
| cascardo | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-next/ | 16:25 |
| leitao | cascardo, I have the impression it does not work well when doing development | 16:25 |
| cascardo | I never built ubuntu kernels with make-kpkg, so can't help with using that tool | 16:25 |
| cascardo | leitao: anything we could help about that? | 16:26 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cascardo, to be honest, I don't care which tool I use to make the image. `make` also fails | 16:27 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cascardo, so you're suggesting I use the drm-next source instead? | 16:28 |
| leitao | cascardo, no. The question was answered properly, so, I will pass this change to the teams. Thank you! | 16:28 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | I mean, it looks like just this one script is failinf as it's referenced by purgatory.o | 16:29 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | I do need to compile this though - I need to include the amdgpu.dc module in the kernel | 16:30 |
| cascardo | _UsUrPeR_: you should find the script on debian/scripts/ | 16:33 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | humm. You're correct. It' | 16:34 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | It's showing as it should have downloaded with git clone | 16:35 |
| cascardo | _UsUrPeR_: debian/rules copies it to the place where it's looked at | 16:35 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/unstable.git/tree/debian/scripts shows it in the directory | 16:35 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | strange | 16:35 |
| cascardo | now, if you are not using the debian/rules from ubuntu tree, certainly things might fail | 16:35 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cascardo, okay, I must have forgotten something here, because I had thought that a `git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/unstable.git` would download the entire master git repo. What did I biff up in order to cause this problem when clining? | 16:37 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | err *cloning | 16:37 |
| cascardo | _UsUrPeR_: are you assuming you don't have it in your tree because the build failed? | 16:38 |
| cascardo | as I said, ./scripts/ubuntu-retpoline-extract-one is not in the tree, but is copied from ./debian/scripts/retpoline-extract-one on debian/rules | 16:39 |
| cascardo | so, unless you are using the debian/rules from the tree, you are doomed to have a failed build | 16:39 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cascardo, no. It's definitely not in my tree. results of ls -alh debian/scripts/ --> https://paste.ee/p/U0Vbc | 16:39 |
| cascardo | git rev-parse HEAD | 16:40 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | `git rev-parse HEAD` results 8a197d73746fe273bc5b38ab64f270a1370cfa8a | 16:41 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | ls -al scripts/ results -> https://paste.ee/p/KFuDf | 16:41 |
| cascardo | git diff HEAD debian/scripts/ | 16:42 |
| cascardo | I guess make-kpkg might just have written all over the debian/ dir | 16:44 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cascardo, that results in a lot of missing files. results --> https://paste.ee/p/68Htp | 16:44 |
| cascardo | well, I suggest you commit the changes you care about, reset the tree, and do not use make-kpkg | 16:45 |
| cascardo | use make-kpkg only with non-ubuntu non-debian kernels | 16:45 |
| cascardo | or better, only upstream kernels | 16:45 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | cascardo, okay, no problem. I've already created patches for the files I'd made changes to. This is pursuant to an open bug I've been working here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106159 | 16:46 |
| ubot5` | Freedesktop bug 106159 in DRM/AMDgpu "When connecting or disconnecting a displayport to a DP hub with 4.16.2+ kernel, hard freeze with frozen video output" [Normal,New] | 16:46 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | I just want to make sure that the amdgpu implementation is working for stable releases. I am wholly unused to using anything above vanilla kernels. That's probably quite apparent at this point | 16:47 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | yep. Looks like make-kpkg really messed everything up. git-reset --hard worked for me | 16:50 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | thanks cascardo. I appreciate the help. | 16:50 |
| cascardo | _UsUrPeR_: yw | 16:52 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | there we go | 16:54 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | still had to copy the script from debian/scripts to scripts/ , but it's going now. | 16:55 |
| * _UsUrPeR_ goes to lunch ^_^ | 16:55 | |
| pcd | Hey, I discovered a somewhat serious issue; systemtap 3.1-3 (the version currently available in bionic/universe) doesn't work in 18.04. The bug is filed https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemtap/+bug/1766754 , but I was wondering what the turnaround time on something like this would be. | 17:23 |
| ubot5` | Ubuntu bug 1766754 in systemtap (Ubuntu) "Linux kernel > 4.14 requires systemtap 3.2" [Undecided,New] | 17:23 |
| tyhicks | pcd: hello - it is difficult to give a turnaround time since we don't know the extent of the issues. The Debian bug report mentions that they had trouble packaging the new version of systemtap so that complicates things. | 17:42 |
| pcd | tyhicks: alright, thanks for taking a look at it. Do I need to talk to the debian packagers to see if they need help getting it packaged, or is there someone else I should talk to? | 17:45 |
| tyhicks | pcd: sit tight for a few minutes while I look at something | 17:48 |
| pcd | tyhicks: will do, thanks! | 17:49 |
| tyhicks | pcd: the two patches mentioned in the debian bug cherry pick cleanly to the version of systemtap that's in bionic right now | 17:57 |
| tyhicks | https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=commitdiff;h=fbb26e17a | 17:57 |
| tyhicks | https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=commitdiff;h=0643ca2b7 | 17:57 |
| tyhicks | pcd: I'm doing a quick local build to see if systemtap will build with those patches applied and, if so, I'll upload it to a PPA and ask you to see if it works | 17:58 |
| pcd | Awesome | 18:03 |
| tyhicks | pcd: keep on eye on the build in this ppa: https://launchpad.net/~tyhicks/+archive/ubuntu/testing/+packages | 18:06 |
| tyhicks | pcd: once it finishes, the spinning clock icon will turn into a checkmark and then you can download the binary packages and give them a try | 18:07 |
| tyhicks | (it successfully built locally for me) | 18:07 |
| pcd | tyhicks: Awesome, will do | 18:07 |
| tyhicks | pcd: I'm going to leave a pointer in the bug report. If you need to drop off IRC before you can test, just follow up with me in the bug report | 18:08 |
| pcd | Can do, thanks again | 18:09 |
| tyhicks | thank you for your willingness to test | 18:11 |
| pcd | tyhicks: that did it! Sample systemtap script loaded and ran successfully | 18:16 |
| tyhicks | pcd: nice! do you have any others that you can try? | 18:18 |
| pcd | I'm mostly pulling random samples from the internet; I'm new to playing in the linux kernel, was trying to get a feel for the debugging tools available when I ran into this | 18:18 |
| pcd | but I can try a few more | 18:19 |
| pcd | Yeah, a couple of other scripts compiled and ran, and produced sensible looking output | 18:20 |
| tyhicks | pcd: ok, I'll start the SRU process when I get a bit of free time today | 18:21 |
| tyhicks | pcd: you'll likely be asked to verify the SRU in the bug report so keep an eye out for that | 18:21 |
| pcd | tyhicks: will do | 18:21 |
| tyhicks | pcd: the version of the new package will be greater than the version of the test package in my ppa so it'll upgrade cleanly for you | 18:22 |
| pcd | Sounds good | 18:23 |
| pcd | thanks again for your help | 18:23 |
| tyhicks | np! | 18:24 |
| tyhicks | pcd: the updated systemtap will be released (probably within the hour) before Ubuntu 18.04 itself is released tomorrow | 21:55 |
| tyhicks | pcd: there's nothing else for you to do | 21:55 |
| tyhicks | pcd: thanks again for your help | 21:55 |
| pcd | tyhicks: Glad to hear it :) Happy to help | 22:18 |
