[09:28] <pitti> hello everyone!
[09:29] <pitti> in 22.04 and kinetic it takes almost 20s to get from grub's "boot now" (Ctrl+X) to the first line of kernel output, even with enabling "debug"
[09:30] <pitti> with Fedora that takes a mere 3s; any idea how to debug that? it feels like grub takes an awful amount of time to unpack the kernel or so?
[09:37] <pitti> indeed when I drop the "initrd" line, it boots almost immediately (of course with a kernel panic, as it can't find the root fs); but that points to awfully slow initrd unpacking
[09:52] <pitti> eww -- initrd.img-5.15.0-41-generic is 102 MB! no wonder it takes so long
[10:45] <tarzeau> pitti: mine are only 35 MB, i use: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/compress:COMPRESS=xz
[10:45] <tarzeau> oh wait 22.04 110 MB, 35 MB was 20.04
[10:46] <pitti> I left my observation in https://bugs.launchpad.net/cloud-images/+bug/1592684/comments/8
[13:59] <rbasak> Is anyone working on the Haskell transition? I've been digging into it, but some of the issues seem quite deep.
[14:03] <seb128> pitti, hey. could that also have to do with the compression in use? what kind of hardware are you seing those numbers on?
[14:09] <pitti> seb128: yes, could be -- even decompressing 100 MB shouldn't take 18 MB; I see it in qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm with the defaults (1 CPU, $whatever model) and 2 GiB RAM
[14:10] <pitti> but either way, I got it down to 18 MB and < 2s now, good enough
[14:16] <seb128> pitti, nice improvement :)
[14:20] <pitti> "even decompressing 100 MB shouldn't take 18 MB" -- d'oh, of course I meant "18 seconds" 🙈
[14:24] <seb128> :)
[14:25] <seb128> still weird indeed, on a modern hardware in a qemu even with 1 CPU I would expect decompression to not be that slow :/
[14:27] <Odd_Bloke> Hey folks, not sure if these MPs are monitored so: I have a small fix to avoid reporting that NBD devices will get fsck'd: https://code.launchpad.net/~oddbloke/update-notifier/+git/update-notifier/+merge/427497
[14:53] <dbungert> Retest click please? retry-autopkgtest-regressions|grep package=livecd-rootfs
[15:36] <Eickmeyer[m]> vorlon: How would you like to proceed on digikam? I can upload my fix now, or you can upload a with a patch to port it to ffmpeg5, or I can do mine now and you can do yours later or not at all?
[15:43] <bdmurray> dbungert: I'll retry them and use it as an opportunity to try out --blocked-by-tests
