| [00:01] <NCommander> I did all that | |
| [00:01] <TheMuso> NCommander: Ok. | |
| [00:01] <NCommander> Very strange | |
| [00:01] <TheMuso> Let me know when its ready to pull. | |
| [00:04] <NCommander> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=mcasadevall/ubuntu-jaunty-ports.git;a=summary - I pushed it, but I don't see the tag .... | |
| [00:10] <NCommander> TheMuso, oh, it seems tags aren't automatically pushed | |
| === asac_ is now known as asac | |
| [00:12] <TheMuso> NCommander: aaaaahhhhh! | |
| [00:13] <NCommander> TheMuso, lets try that again | |
| [00:13] <TheMuso> This is a nice learning experience. | |
| [00:13] <NCommander> I dunno fi I call the lack of automatic pushing of tags a feature or a bug | |
| [00:13] <NCommander> Its uploading now | |
| [00:13] <TheMuso> Ok. | |
| [00:14] <TheMuso> I call it a bug personally, but thats just me. | |
| [00:14] <NCommander> SOmeone should note that you need to git push --tags :-) | |
| [00:14] <TheMuso> Yeah. | |
| [00:14] <NCommander> Its designed so if you pull someone elses branch, you don't get private tags from during release | |
| [00:14] <NCommander> wow, 10MB worth of tags | |
| [00:14] <NCommander> Linus has been busy ;-) | |
| [00:15] <TheMuso> Ouch. | |
| [00:15] <NCommander> (ubuntu-ports tags are obviously enough Ubuntu-ports vs Ubuntu so we can't accidently get the same tag) | |
| [00:15] <TheMuso> NCommander: Well you probably need to change the debian/rules files to look for those tags then. | |
| [00:15] <TheMuso> Otherwise the insertchanges et al commands will fail. | |
| [00:15] <NCommander> Probably | |
| [00:17] <NCommander> TheMuso, that change is in my branch, once 1.1 is released, it will be available for 1.2 (or 2.1) | |
| [00:17] <TheMuso> NCommander: ok. | |
| [00:24] <NCommander> TheMuso, TADA http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=mcasadevall/ubuntu-jaunty-ports.git;a=summary | |
| [00:25] <NCommander> The changelog is amusingly long | |
| [00:25] <NCommander> and | |
| [00:25] <NCommander> I think incorrect | |
| [00:25] <NCommander> Damn it | |
| [00:25] <NCommander> Freaking insert changes pulled in stuff it shouldn't | |
| [00:26] <NCommander> actually, wait, it only grabbed 2.6.27->2.6.27.4 | |
| [00:26] <NCommander> Which is correct | |
| === CarlFK1 is now known as CarlF1 | |
| [00:27] <TheMuso> NCommander: ok. | |
| [00:27] <NCommander> Ok, so just grab my branch, build a source package (with a orig.tar.gz), sign and upload | |
| [00:28] <TheMuso> Will do. | |
| [00:53] <TheMuso> NCommander: Do you want me to give it a test build on PowerPC hardware? | |
| [01:42] <NCommander> TheMuso, sure | |
| [01:42] <NCommander> (I tested it on my box, but I haven't tested it since fixing the other archs, but there were no code changes) | |
| [01:53] <TheMuso> Right. | |
| [01:53] <NCommander> TheMuso, if you do, save the abi folder | |
| [01:53] <NCommander> We'll need to generate those on all architectures from this release forward, since we'll have lbm and lrm soon | |
| [01:53] <TheMuso> NCommander: I'm building in an LVM snapshot with sbuild. | |
| [01:54] <NCommander> oh | |
| [01:54] <NCommander> Ok | |
| [01:54] <TheMuso> I can grab it during the build however if you like. | |
| [01:54] <NCommander> Its not a priority until we start getting lrm and module packages | |
| [01:54] <TheMuso> Is it created early on? | |
| [01:54] <NCommander> No | |
| [01:54] <NCommander> Towards the very end of the build | |
| [01:55] <TheMuso> Right. | |
| [02:00] <TheMuso> NCommander: actually I will build it manually, so I can get the ABI folder. | |
| [02:00] * NCommander nods | |
| [02:01] <TheMuso> NCommander: I thought there was a bug opened for ports kernel in intrepid to not use gcc 4.1 for powerpc, yet I see it in the build-deps. | |
| [02:01] <NCommander> I haven't cleared it yet | |
| [02:01] <NCommander> 1.2 build task | |
| [02:02] <TheMuso> ok | |
| [02:02] <NCommander> (doko wants to zap 4.1, once 1.1 is uploaded, that will be the first thing I do, since I need to make sure we don't have any nasty ices on any platform and still have working kernels) | |
| [02:02] <NCommander> i.e., I want a baseline to work against | |
| [02:03] <TheMuso> Right. | |
| [02:34] <TheMuso> NCommander: Kernels are cooking. | |
| [02:34] <NCommander> I thought I smelled something burning ;-) | |
| [02:34] * NCommander runs from the bad pun | |
| [02:34] <TheMuso> It still made me laugh however. | |
| [02:35] <NCommander> Yay, 7 packages pending uploading (with an eight pending successful pbuildering) | |
| [02:35] * TheMuso slaps his head. I should have told it to use both CPUs to build faster... | |
| [02:35] <NCommander> -j2 is broken | |
| [02:36] <TheMuso> Oh ok. | |
| [02:36] <TheMuso> That solves that then. | |
| [02:36] <NCommander> It kinda works | |
| [02:36] <NCommander> But you get a weird race condition which causes dpkg to explode | |
| [02:36] <TheMuso> Right. | |
| [02:36] <NCommander> I need to sit down and debug it at some point | |
| [02:36] <TheMuso> I wonder if that can be sorted out. | |
| [02:36] <NCommander> Enviornmental variable which just passed -j to the kernel build | |
| [02:36] <NCommander> WHich is what is already implemented | |
| [02:36] <TheMuso> Yeah I saw that. | |
| [02:36] <NCommander> (KERNEL_CONCURENCY_LEVEL or something) | |
| [02:37] <TheMuso> Yeah. | |
| [03:19] <TheMuso> NCommander: powerpc kernel cooked, powerpc-smp kernel now cooking. | |
| [03:21] * NCommander holds the extinisher ready | |
| [03:22] <TheMuso> lol | |
| [03:37] <TheMuso> NCommander: powerpc64-smp now cooking. | |
| [03:38] <NCommander> TheMuso, can you test run them? | |
| [03:38] <TheMuso> NCommander: As in try to boot from them? Sure. | |
| [03:50] <NCommander> TheMuso, since we're on the topic of things to be done | |
| [03:50] <NCommander> TheMuso, can I get a few sponsoring on other packages? | |
| [03:56] <TheMuso> NCommander: Sure. Shall we take it to a more appropriate channel? | |
| [03:56] <NCommander> motu or devel, your pick | |
| [03:57] <TheMuso> NCommander: doesn't bother me, whatever suits you. | |
| [03:57] <TheMuso> :p | |
| [03:57] <TheMuso> \/c | |
| [04:47] <TheMuso> Wow documentation takes a while. | |
| [04:50] <NCommander> TheMuso, yup | |
| [04:50] * NCommander should have told you to debuild -B | |
| [04:51] <TheMuso> Oh well. | |
| [04:51] <NCommander> TheMuso, did you get your zinc acocunt fixed? | |
| [04:53] <TheMuso> NCommander: Its in progress I believe. | |
| [05:05] <TheMuso> NCommander: kernels done. | |
| [05:05] <TheMuso> I can smoke test powerpc, and powerpc64-smp. I don't have a generic powerpc-smp box though. | |
| [05:05] <NCommander> now do they boot? | |
| [05:05] <TheMuso> Bout to try powerpc64-smp. | |
| [05:06] <NCommander> powerpc-smp will work fine on powerpc, or on a powerpc64-smp box | |
| [05:06] <TheMuso> Ok. | |
| [05:08] <TheMuso> NCommander: booting into powerpc64-smp. | |
| [05:08] * NCommander crosses fingers | |
| [05:09] <TheMuso> It boots. | |
| [05:11] <TheMuso> Ok sound works, all disks present and correct, hrm not sure what else to check. | |
| [05:16] <NCommander> Good enough for me | |
| [05:16] <NCommander> The powerpc kernel been tested | |
| [05:16] <TheMuso> testing powerpc-smp now. | |
| [05:16] <NCommander> TheMuso, just as a reminder, remember to leave my name on the changelog (on the bottom) so I get the build failure notices if any occur :-) | |
| [05:17] <TheMuso> NCommander: since you fixed the changelog, that is not a problem. | |
| [05:20] <TheMuso> hrm powerpc-smp doesn't want to boot. | |
| [05:20] <TheMuso> on my G5./ | |
| [05:20] <NCommander> coooooool | |
| [05:20] <TheMuso> yeah | |
| [05:20] <TheMuso> it brings up a screen with a lot of OpenFirmware stuff, or thats what it looks like. | |
| [05:22] <TheMuso> ok will try the powerpc and powerpc-smp kernels on my mini. | |
| [05:23] <NCommander> Hrm | |
| [05:23] <NCommander> the smp kernel might be hosed | |
| [05:23] <TheMuso> haha and the old boot option is broken. Time to dig out a desktop CD from hardy... | |
| [05:23] <NCommander> I'll have to smash it with a stick but unless I can find someone with a 32 bit SMP box | |
| [05:26] <NCommander> TheMuso, maybe the -smp kernel for some ungodly reason tries to put the G5 into little endian mode which would crash and burn | |
| [05:28] <TheMuso> possibly. | |
| [05:29] <TheMuso> NCommander: what makes you think that? | |
| [05:29] <NCommander> Its the only thing that could possibly cause the kernel to fault all the way back into open firmware | |
| [05:29] <TheMuso> NCommander: right | |
| [05:29] <NCommander> At least thats what I'm thinking | |
| [05:29] <NCommander> If it works on your mini, yay, if not | |
| [05:29] <NCommander> 1.2 :-) | |
| [05:30] * NCommander hears a gunshot | |
| [05:30] * TheMuso slaps his head. | |
| [05:30] <TheMuso> I was trying to boot old on my mini, not the G5. | |
| [05:31] <NCommander> oh | |
| [05:31] <NCommander> Your mini crashed and burned | |
| [05:31] <NCommander> Nice :-/ | |
| [05:31] <TheMuso> no | |
| [05:31] <NCommander> Wait | |
| [05:31] <NCommander> huh? | |
| [05:31] <NCommander> What machine failed to boot the smp kernel? | |
| [05:32] <TheMuso> When I tried to boot into another kernel on what I thought was my G5, it didn't work, but it was on my mini. | |
| [05:32] <NCommander> Oh I see | |
| [05:32] <TheMuso> the G5 failed to boot the powerpc-smp kernel. | |
| [05:32] * NCommander is resmoketesting the -smp kernel | |
| [05:32] <NCommander> I dunno why we have an non-smp/smp varient | |
| [05:32] <NCommander> Every other architecture is compiled to smp | |
| [05:33] <TheMuso> Yeah I know what you mean. | |
| [05:34] <NCommander> THere may be issues with the smp kernel on non-smp PPC hardware | |
| [05:34] <NCommander> THats the only reason I can think of | |
| [05:34] <NCommander> The G4 made it through a full startup with the SMP kernel | |
| [05:34] <NCommander> (its a single chip box) | |
| [05:34] <TheMuso> Right. | |
| [05:34] <NCommander> I think there must be hardware the SMP kernel crashes and burns with | |
| [05:35] <NCommander> TheMuso, I think we can write the issue as "Needs Investigation" and upload it | |
| [05:35] <TheMuso> Ok. | |
| [05:40] <NCommander> TheMuso, I just had a brainwave | |
| [05:40] <NCommander> TheMuso, your mini might have faulted because the kernel uses OpenFirmware to determine the presence of a second processor | |
| [05:40] <NCommander> Want to be on your mini crashed and burned due bad OF information? | |
| [05:40] <NCommander> *bet | |
| [05:41] <TheMuso> NCommander: it was the G5. | |
| [05:41] <TheMuso> NCommander: not the mini. | |
| [05:42] <NCommander> Oh! | |
| [05:42] <NCommander> same point applies ;-) | |
| [05:42] <TheMuso> Right. | |
| [05:42] <TheMuso> But powerpc64-smp worked. | |
| [05:42] <NCommander> and powerpc-smp worked on non-smp hardware | |
| [05:43] <NCommander> We need someone with an SMP G4 | |
| [05:43] <TheMuso> Yep. | |
| [05:47] <TheMuso> ok powerpc works on the mini | |
| [05:49] <NCommander> so either smp is broken on smp hardware :-/, or smp is broken on smp64 | |
| [05:52] <TheMuso> NCommander: NCommander Well 64-smp is fine, as I am now back on that with my G5, and both CPUs are showing. | |
| [05:52] <NCommander> I think infinity or lamont have to have a multicore non-SMP G5 | |
| [05:53] <NCommander> can you boot a powerpc kernel on your G5? | |
| [05:53] <NCommander> (maybe its a general 64-bit issue vs. smp) | |
| [05:53] <TheMuso> NCommander: the powerpc kernel non-smp boots fine. | |
| [05:53] <NCommander> ok | |
| [05:53] <NCommander> We'll have to mark that on the Needs Debugging list | |
| [05:59] <TheMuso> NCommander: powerpc-smp boots on mini. | |
| [06:00] <NCommander> woooo | |
| [06:00] <NCommander> so its just a 64-bit issue | |
| [06:01] <TheMuso> sounds like it. | |
| [06:02] <NCommander> do we care enough to fix it at this very moment? | |
| [06:03] <TheMuso> I don't. | |
| [06:06] * NCommander doesn't | |
| [06:13] <TheMuso> NCommander: i have some things to do so I'll look further into this later. | |
| [06:13] <NCommander> TheMuso, the smp crash, or uploading ;-)? | |
| [06:13] <TheMuso> NCommander: uploading. | |
| [06:13] <NCommander> ok, no | |
| [06:13] <NCommander> *np | |
| [07:32] <NCommander> ah, abogani | |
| [07:32] <abogani> NCommander: Hi | |
| [07:33] <NCommander> abogani, I've been working on linux-rt-powerpc, and I found a rather disturbing problem | |
| [07:33] <NCommander> The current rt kernel in Intrepid isn't actually RT :-/ | |
| [07:33] <abogani> :-? | |
| [07:33] <NCommander> (CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is not defined) | |
| [07:34] <NCommander> and I can be blamed for it | |
| [07:34] * NCommander whacks head on the desk | |
| [07:34] <abogani> No way: it is defined. | |
| [07:35] <NCommander> Nope | |
| [07:35] <NCommander> abogani, here's the debdiff | |
| [07:36] <NCommander> oh wait | |
| [07:37] <NCommander> bah | |
| [07:37] <NCommander> Screw me, I can't spell "PREEMPT" | |
| [08:05] <NCommander> morning smb_tp | |
| [08:06] <smb_tp> Good morning NCommander | |
| [08:06] <NCommander> smb_tp, how goes your morning | |
| [08:07] <smb_tp> NCommander, Good so far. :) Just got the first coffee. Saw your mail | |
| [08:08] <NCommander> smb_tp, TheMuso will be uploading the first ports kernel soon, and I'm bending linux-ports-lrm into shape :-) | |
| [08:10] <smb_tp> NCommander, Sounds great. :) I guess I will give the mail some time today to be seen by others and then pull it to the repo. | |
| [08:11] <NCommander> \o/ | |
| [08:11] <NCommander> smb_tp, if you have sometime at some point to sit down with the ia64 config files, and figure out what things should be built as modules, it would be apperiated because then I can fix d-i for ia64 | |
| [08:16] <smb_tp> NCommander, I only had a config that compiled (but had to discard serial-modules) and produced some udebs but whether this really is useful for the installer, I don't know. | |
| [08:16] <NCommander> smb_tp, someone who knows the hardware needs to sitdown and smash the kernel into shape :-/. Even HPPA has working d-i/udeb support and thats the architecture thats usually broken | |
| [08:18] <smb_tp> NCommander, True. I will try to ask BenC whether he got a little time to help. At least he has the HW | |
| [08:18] <NCommander> Oh, I thought you had ia64 | |
| [08:18] <NCommander> d'oh | |
| [08:20] <smb_tp> NCommander, No, I only have access to one (but only as user, so I can't install new kernels) | |
| [08:20] <NCommander> oh right | |

| [15:05] <drunkenkilla> i tested even now pre-release of fedora 10 and i could change the brigthness with the applet in the panel | |
| [15:15] <mjg59> F10 implements opregion support which is required for backlight control on a bunch of Intel graphics laptops | |
| [15:15] <mjg59> It'll be in 2.6.28 of the upstream kernel, but it's not in Intrepid | |
| [17:07] <psusi> isn't there a libata option somewhere for verbose debugging output? | |
| [17:11] <rtg> lamont: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-backports-modules-2.6.27 has finished building. this time it should _really_ fix your b44 issue. | |
| [17:12] <lamont> rtg: and which suite does it show up in, I wonder? | |

| [18:08] <BenC> Could be fixed by this patch | |
| [18:08] <drunkenkilla> but today i tested pre-release of fedora 10 and i could change the brightness with the applet, but not with the fn-keys | |
| [18:09] <BenC> The case I'm fixing is where the brightness key causes two key press events | |

| [19:46] <psusi> what did you have to do to see KERN_DEBUG printks again? | |
| [20:05] <Pici> Howdy kernel people. It looks like the current kernel compiling help on help.u.com assumes that the user is running Intrepid. I don't really know enough about kernel compiling to split out the directions, but this is the wiki diff that appears to be the culprit: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile?action=diff&rev1=69&rev2=61 | |
| [20:06] <Pici> linux-kernel-devel is not on Intrepid and makedumpfile isnt on anything pre intrepid | |
