**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 19 02:59:56 2011 Mar 19 05:49:53 Mini fanout overlay filesystem (MINI_FO) [N/m/y] (NEW) Mar 19 06:27:23 for 2.6.37.4 on brcm47xx Mar 19 07:08:34 build #99 of cobalt is complete: Success [build successful] Build details are at http://tksite.gotdns.org:8010/builders/cobalt/builds/99 Mar 19 07:28:43 hmm... tried building 2.6.38... complaining about missing linux/config.h when building crypto/ocf/crypto.c ... Mar 19 07:49:20 nbd: ping Mar 19 08:18:45 build #81 of ixp4xx is complete: Failure [failed compile_4] Build details are at http://tksite.gotdns.org:8010/builders/ixp4xx/builds/81 Mar 19 09:44:55 build #81 of kirkwood is complete: Failure [failed compile_4] Build details are at http://tksite.gotdns.org:8010/builders/kirkwood/builds/81 Mar 19 12:00:53 philipp64|laptop: pong Mar 19 13:07:33 philipp64|laptop: jow_laptop: I am trying to fix some of the compile problems with kernel 2.6.38 Mar 19 13:37:36 <_trine> iptables v1.4.10: Couldn't load match `recent':File not found; is this a new bug Mar 19 13:39:28 When upgrading firmware using 'sysupgrade', why it keeps dumping some error messages as shown here (http://pastebin.com/cAicHPbb) on line # 34 and 35 even though it has successfully flashed the firmware? Mar 19 13:49:45 anyone around who has got the necessary admin permissions to reset a trac account password? Mar 19 13:49:51 <- that account Mar 19 13:50:45 in the event that it is not possible, should I just report my issue to the forum? Mar 19 13:51:00 * ermo doesn't want to create a new trac account Mar 19 13:51:21 build #73 of octeon is complete: Failure [failed compile_4] Build details are at http://tksite.gotdns.org:8010/builders/octeon/builds/73 Mar 19 14:27:20 https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=29170 <- RAM goes missing after warm reset 'reboot' Mar 19 14:27:28 wl500gP Mar 19 14:28:17 <_trine> there seems to be something wrong with the firewall Mar 19 14:28:32 _trine: ? Mar 19 14:28:51 <_trine> ermo, that was a general comment Mar 19 14:29:25 <_trine> I am hoping someone will be interested in looking at the problem Mar 19 14:30:15 ermo: the memory size detection code in the kernel looks quite broken to me Mar 19 14:30:22 ermo: it's probably what's causing your issue Mar 19 14:30:41 nbd: is that a general issue or only for 2.6.32.27? Mar 19 14:30:56 on brcm47xx? Mar 19 14:30:59 i don't know when this stuff was added Mar 19 14:31:10 i just looked at the current state of the code and it looks broken Mar 19 14:31:35 <_trine> nbd can you have a look at my firewall issue Mar 19 14:31:53 <_trine> it seems broken Mar 19 14:32:07 nbd: much obliged -- I heard another user mention that his brcm box went into failsafe after flashing an image (and I've seen the same thing happening) Mar 19 14:32:24 I'm guessing that the memory issue might be the culprit Mar 19 14:33:14 _trine: wow ... "there seems to be something wrong with the firewall" ... what a detailed description ;) Mar 19 14:34:01 <_trine> nbd that was a preliminary question to enquire if you had any time to look at such things Mar 19 14:34:45 it's probably better if you ask the author of that package Mar 19 14:35:23 <_trine> well there you go,, thats why i didnt type out a detailed informa Mar 19 14:35:41 well, it's not like he doesn't read this channel ;) Mar 19 14:35:56 nbd: is the kernel code in question broken only on 2.6.32.27? I've been using custom built firmware from the backfire branch for a while now, and I only began seeing it after the 2.6.32.27 kernel update Mar 19 14:36:02 <_trine> I know maybe hes keeping a low profile Mar 19 14:36:25 nbd: In case that gives you a useful clue :) Mar 19 14:36:49 i haven't worked on broadcom stuff in a long time Mar 19 14:36:57 i suggest you talk to someone that's actively working on that target Mar 19 14:37:22 using git log or svn log helps... Mar 19 14:37:45 nbd: ok, thanks. Didn't mean to nag :) Mar 19 14:37:53 r24490 | hauke | 2010-12-11 18:26:04 +0100 (Sat, 11 Dec 2010) | 2 lines Mar 19 14:37:53 kernel: update from version 2.6.32.25 to 2.6.32.27 Mar 19 14:38:13 Hauke: does ^^ ring any bell? Mar 19 14:39:20 ermo: nothing against you or _trine, it just feels like the number of users that ping me directly about any random issue they find keeps increasing Mar 19 14:40:18 nbd: Mea culpa. It's probably because for us users, it's 'easier' that way; it makes you feel 'heard' I guess. Mar 19 14:40:47 ermo: is anything wrong with r24490? Mar 19 14:41:30 <_trine> nbd is that a criticism of the other devs not pulling their weight ? Mar 19 14:41:39 Hauke: I don't know, but I'm seeing https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=29170 and nbd suggested that the memory detection code looks broken (and I don't remember this happening pre 2.6.32.27 on my wl500gP) Mar 19 14:42:04 _trine: no criticism, just an observation Mar 19 14:42:10 <_trine> heh Mar 19 14:42:41 I do not think it has anything to do with kernel version upgrade from 2.6.32.25 to 2.6.32.27 Mar 19 14:42:55 but I will have a look at it Mar 19 14:43:00 <_trine> nbd it comes about because of your well known ability Mar 19 14:43:03 Hauke, ermo: what i see in the code is that to find memory aliases it compares the contents of a memory word without actually double-checking whether it's a real alias Mar 19 14:45:31 nbd: Perhaps a short wiki guide (mentioned in prominent places on the wiki and stickied on the forum) on 'help us help you' re. who to ask about a particular subsystem so as to give the most effective feedback might be an idea? Mar 19 14:45:46 nobody would read it Mar 19 14:45:47 ;) Mar 19 14:45:50 heh Mar 19 14:46:31 imho most (not all) users that ping me directly are simply too lazy to look for the right person to talk to Mar 19 14:46:54 <_trine> nbd a better description http://dpaste.com/517745/ Mar 19 14:46:57 nbd: Again, mea culpa. But I'll keep it in mind for future reference *blush* Mar 19 14:47:05 ermo: i wasn't talking about you Mar 19 14:47:28 <_trine> jow_laptop, wake up please Mar 19 14:48:32 nbd: you should change your nick and write a bot using your nick, just replaying with "ask ..." after analyzing some keywords in the question ;-) Mar 19 14:49:04 Hauke: nah, i think i'll simply ignore the annoying ones without letting them annoy me Mar 19 14:49:25 nbd/Hauke: where in the kernel is the code that does the memory detection (so that I can help look for changes myself) Mar 19 14:49:34 it's not an issue that needs to be solved technically, i just need to improve my own filters ;) Mar 19 14:49:40 <_trine> nbd you're grumpy today :) Mar 19 14:49:52 ermo: arch/mips/bcm47xx/prom.c Mar 19 14:49:58 venting every now and then is healthy :D Mar 19 14:50:03 ermo: in prom_init_mem Mar 19 14:50:35 nbd: that solution seams boring ;-) Mar 19 14:50:58 _trine: nah, not really Mar 19 14:51:58 <_trine> nbd I know what you mean but its a complement that people do ask you things a lot Mar 19 14:52:34 _trine: that's why i'm working on simply not letting it annoy me anymore ;) Mar 19 14:52:41 <_trine> as i said it comes about by being indispensable Mar 19 14:54:17 Hauke: svn log lets me show all the changes to a single file, right? Which file (full path) should I look for relative to my backfire dir? ./build_dir/linux-brcm47xx/linux-2.6.32.27/arch/mips/bcm47xx/prom.c ? Mar 19 14:54:55 ermo: i don't think that particular piece of code changed for the worse recently Mar 19 14:55:02 this file is in the mainline kernel Mar 19 14:55:21 my guess is something else triggered it Mar 19 14:55:28 It was not changed from backfire release to the most recent branch version Mar 19 14:55:28 but it's not important to figure out what triggered it Mar 19 14:55:50 I think the error was there for ever Mar 19 14:56:03 so the hypothesis is that it was only recently exposed? Mar 19 14:56:17 could be Mar 19 14:56:35 so i think to fix this bug it needs to use a memory location that it can change Mar 19 14:56:46 set it to a random value Mar 19 14:56:50 try to find the same value Mar 19 14:56:57 then change the value and see if it still matches afterwards Mar 19 14:57:04 that should eliminate false positives Mar 19 15:00:17 _trine: all grumpiness eliminated now ;) Mar 19 15:02:10 <_trine> fandabidosi Mar 19 15:02:24 could one of you perhaps help reset my trac password or get me in touch with someone who can? Mar 19 15:03:08 ermo: Kaloz is managing trac Mar 19 15:03:13 thank you Mar 19 15:03:24 Ah, he appears away for now. Mar 19 15:03:55 I'll ping him and hope that he's in a generous mood when he comes back :) Mar 19 15:05:01 just send him an email with the new password hash that you want it set to Mar 19 15:05:06 md5? Mar 19 15:05:15 whatever you sent him initially Mar 19 15:05:37 I think I just created a new account :s Mar 19 15:05:49 I'll just send him an MD5 hash then Mar 19 15:06:00 thanks Mar 19 15:09:30 ermo: i think htpasswd -s is probably the right one Mar 19 15:10:00 much obliged Mar 19 15:10:18 * ermo found http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/AccountManagerPlugin/Modules which might help alleviate such problems Mar 19 15:10:48 i.e. allowing users like me to help themselves when they've forgotten their password Mar 19 15:21:00 Hauke: if you manage to fix the memory issue, feel free to ping me for testing or leave a comment in the forum post (I use an IRC bouncer and have set up notifcation on the forum topic) Mar 19 15:21:12 *notification Mar 19 15:22:05 ermo: for now I am working on some different topic and I do not know if I find the time to fix this issue on this weekend Mar 19 15:22:33 I will notify you when I did something on this issue Mar 19 15:23:17 ermo: could you please create an trac issue when everything with your trac account is manage for this issue and assign it to me Mar 19 15:24:22 Hauke: sure thing! Mar 19 15:38:22 _trine: well describe your problem, maybe put it in pastebin Mar 19 15:38:44 I'll only be able to check irc a few minutes at a time and thats not enough to play the interview game Mar 19 15:39:13 so please write down whats actually wrong, including all details about network configuration and send me the link Mar 19 15:39:25 then I might be able to look at it and tell you what is wrong Mar 19 15:39:30 I have a simple question. Is there a simple utility that can be called by an init scripts file to check / fix a corrupted partition table? Mar 19 15:40:08 <_trine> jow_laptop, I already did Mar 19 15:40:17 <_trine> in both openwrt channels Mar 19 15:40:34 <_trine> http://dpaste.com/517654/ Mar 19 15:41:27 uh well Mar 19 15:41:34 <_trine> http://dpaste.com/517745/ Mar 19 15:41:58 FW_TRACE=1 fw reload Mar 19 15:44:34 and is there even a "wan" interface on your dockstar? Mar 19 15:44:52 I thought it has only lan Mar 19 15:46:33 <_trine> it has only lan at the moment Mar 19 15:47:16 <_trine> but the iface is still configured Mar 19 15:47:29 you use wan in your rule Mar 19 15:47:32 is there a wan? Mar 19 15:47:39 if not its normal the rule is erroring out Mar 19 15:47:47 pebkac so to say Mar 19 15:47:48 <_trine> although I dont have a cable plugged into it Mar 19 15:47:59 show me the corresponding network config Mar 19 15:48:07 and run the trace command i ASKED FOR Mar 19 15:48:13 sorry Mar 19 15:48:16 <_trine> config 'interface' 'wan' Mar 19 15:48:16 <_trine> option 'ifname' 'eth1' Mar 19 15:48:16 <_trine> option 'macaddr' '00:2e:2b:63:61:33' Mar 19 15:48:16 <_trine> option 'proto' 'none' Mar 19 15:48:21 and make it fast, I have to go in a few minutes Mar 19 15:48:28 <_trine> dont worry Mar 19 15:48:38 <_trine> we can do it when you have more time Mar 19 15:48:51 so where do you run the firewall? on the dockstar? Mar 19 15:49:08 <_trine> this is all on my router Mar 19 15:49:15 so not dockstar Mar 19 15:49:18 <_trine> no Mar 19 15:49:34 FW_TRACE=1 fw reload Mar 19 15:50:28 <_trine> how do I do that to a file Mar 19 15:50:35 2>/tmp/log Mar 19 15:50:45 <_trine> FW_TRACE=1 fw reload > file Mar 19 15:50:47 <_trine> ? Mar 19 15:51:25 <_trine> is that right cos I tried that b4 and it didnt work Mar 19 15:51:27 FW_TRACE=1 fw reload 2>/tmp/log <- will redirect error messages to a log file Mar 19 15:51:41 and show normal messages on the console Mar 19 15:51:52 IIUC Mar 19 15:52:03 <_trine> root@OpenWrt:~# FW_TRACE=1 fw reload 2>/tmp/log Mar 19 15:52:03 <_trine> -ash: can't create /tmp/log: Is a directory Mar 19 15:52:03 <_trine> root@OpenWrt:~# Mar 19 15:52:18 FW_TRACE=1 fw reload 2>/tmp/log/fwtest.log then Mar 19 15:53:51 <_trine> http://dpaste.com/517907/ Mar 19 15:55:32 looks like some hotplug handler is freaking out Mar 19 15:56:09 <_trine> I thought I had better mention it Mar 19 15:58:27 <_trine> I dont suppose it could be anything to do with this new stupid super hub my ISP has made me use Mar 19 16:00:46 <_trine> so it could be pbuad Mar 19 16:01:17 <_trine> ? Mar 19 16:01:52 <_trine> and not pebkac Mar 19 16:05:48 <_trine> jow_laptop, I noticed a bug in luci while I was using it while I was away last week Mar 19 16:06:20 <_trine> however you may have recently corrected I dont know Mar 19 16:09:33 no, I don't think it relates to any isp stuff Mar 19 16:09:46 its some hotplug script which has problems constructing the rules Mar 19 16:29:06 build #91 of rb532 is complete: Failure [failed compile_6] Build details are at http://tksite.gotdns.org:8010/builders/rb532/builds/91 Mar 19 17:34:10 Hauke1: awesome... let me know when I can rebuild. Mar 19 17:36:04 jow_laptop: unless Jo-Philipp wants to point me in the direction of getting it fixed... Mar 19 17:43:00 hauke * r26237 /trunk/target/linux/generic/files/crypto/ocf/ (16 files in 9 dirs): Mar 19 17:43:00 kernel: linux/version.h was removed in kernel 2.6.19 and is now replaced by generated/autoconf.h. Mar 19 17:43:00 This fixes build with kernel 2.6.38. Mar 19 17:43:00 This was only build tested. Mar 19 17:43:00 Thank you philipp64 for reporting Mar 19 17:43:52 hauke * r26238 /trunk/target/linux/generic/config-2.6.38: kernel: add missing config options Mar 19 17:45:44 hauke * r26239 /trunk/package/kernel/modules/ (netsupport.mk pcmcia.mk usb.mk video.mk): Mar 19 17:45:44 kernel: fix some problems with kernel 2.6.38 Mar 19 17:45:44 In some places LINUX_2_6_38 was just missing. Mar 19 17:45:44 Some kernel modules were moved. Mar 19 17:46:39 philipp64|laptop: The fixes are committed, I just done an compile test with kernel 2.6.38, could you please do some runtime tests with the ocf stuff. Mar 19 17:48:44 Hauke: it might be a while before I have useful results. I'm seeing some weirdness on my Solos ADSL card when using RFC-2684 bridging, and won't have that up and running again that's fixed. trying to see if a kernel bump fixes the problem. Mar 19 17:49:12 philipp64|laptop: ok Mar 19 17:49:14 in a nutshell, frames are coming in, but the driver is not finding the appropriate VCI in the VCC hash table. Mar 19 17:49:32 see my posting on linux-atm-general. Mar 19 17:58:26 hopefully someone saw the list of missing kernel symbols I posted yesterday for x86.... Mar 19 17:58:57 is there a command for automatically updating the config-default files? Mar 19 18:06:28 Good evening, Mar 19 18:06:38 going to try my luck also here with this link: http://lauri.vosandi.eu/hg/openwrt-extra-packages/file/ Mar 19 18:06:59 Related mailinglist post is here: https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-devel/2011-January/009163.html Mar 19 18:52:58 Hauke: do you know anything about ATM drivers? I'm looking at one or more possible bugs in the Solos driver. Mar 19 18:53:13 I have a fix for one of them... the other two I'm not so sure. Mar 19 20:19:04 Hauke, i wonder if there is anything holding up the removal of kmod-usb-ohci from PACKAGES in target/linux/brcm47xx/profiles/WGT634U.mk Mar 19 20:21:36 russell--: are there any problems with that? Mar 19 20:23:33 including kmod-usb-ohci is unnecessary and it throws annoying errors during boot Mar 19 20:24:01 i've been carrying the patch around localling for 6 months or so Mar 19 20:25:15 kmod-usb2 provides the support needed for the usb host port in my experience Mar 19 20:31:20 Hauke: any other quesions? Mar 19 20:44:15 russell--: I do not have this device Mar 19 20:44:26 what error messages do you get? Mar 19 20:55:20 Hauke: while the module is loading, it complains about hardware that isn't present. i don't have any of the messages handy. Mar 19 20:55:40 because i've removed the module and not had any trouble. Mar 19 20:56:50 they look like this: Mar 19 20:56:52 usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 Mar 19 20:56:52 usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 Mar 19 20:56:52 usb 4-1: device descriptor read/64, error -62 Mar 19 20:57:45 i have speculated that there is no ohci hardware on the board, so it probes for things that aren't there Mar 19 21:00:13 meanwhile, usb2 works fine Mar 19 21:03:09 http://paste.openwrt.org/f133b5fab Mar 19 21:04:56 i've seen no indication that the ohci module as *ANY* functional benefit Mar 19 21:05:05 on this hardware Mar 19 21:08:28 Hauke: i am having a difficult time understanding why this is controversial. Mar 19 22:40:51 can someone look at http://patchwork.midlink.org/patch/787/ ? Mar 19 22:57:32 russell--: there is probably an unused usb host controller on the broadcom SoC which causes this error message, I will remove kmod-usb-ohci from the PACKAGES list Mar 19 23:22:04 hauke * r26240 /trunk/target/linux/brcm47xx/profiles/WGT634U.mk: Mar 19 23:22:04 brcm47xx: remove kmod-usb-ohci from WGT634U packages. Mar 19 23:22:04 This package creates some error messages on startup Mar 19 23:22:04 Thank you russell-- for reporting Mar 19 23:50:11 thanks Hauke! Mar 19 23:50:23 (realizing that he's left already) Mar 20 00:23:45 nbd: Hey just so you know, your changes to fopivot should take care of extroot as well. I just check and I have no extroot-only references to mini_fo. Mar 20 00:24:06 nbd: overlayfs stuff should 'just work' for extroot Mar 20 00:28:18 cshore: good, assumed as much because a 'git grep' for mini_fo did not yield any results Mar 20 00:33:02 nbd: what do you know about device drivers? Mar 20 00:33:51 I found 2 bugs, maybe more, in the Solos ADSL2+ driver... wanted to get your opinion. Mar 20 00:35:13 "what do you know about device drivers?" - that question seems overly broad Mar 20 00:36:17 i know some stuff about specific kinds of drivers, given that i do lots of work on ath9k and have worked on various ethernet drivers Mar 20 00:56:21 philipp64|laptop: so... bugs? Mar 20 00:58:47 oh, sorry... was putting something back together... Mar 20 00:58:58 bugs... yeah.... let me find the first one... Mar 20 01:00:43 thepeople * r26241 /trunk/package/firewall/ (Makefile files/firewall.upgrade): Keep firewall.user during sysupgrades Mar 20 01:01:29 here's one: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4D83F47F.3090802%40redfish-solutions.com&forum_name=linux-atm-general Mar 20 01:02:34 nbd: here's my fix... ftp://ftp.redfish-solutions.com/pub/280_debug_skbpull.patch Mar 20 01:03:19 I'll try it as soon as I can get a 2.6.38 image to boot... my last kernel was built LZO... the one before that LZMA but without support for decompression... Mar 20 01:05:09 is there support for 2.6.38 on brcm47xx yet? Mar 20 01:05:50 wondering if I should repost my message to netdev instead... Mar 20 01:08:32 about the first link: Mar 20 01:08:42 the hash of VCs is already kept in the ATM layer Mar 20 01:08:48 the driver simply references it for some reason Mar 20 01:09:00 it's exported from the ATM layer Mar 20 01:09:15 no target/linux/brcm47xx/{config-2.6.38,patches-2.6.38} yet ... i guess i should relearn about quilt or something Mar 20 01:09:18 as for why it doesn't print the list - no idea, i've had no dealings with the kernel ATM code before Mar 20 01:19:07 nbd: is there an API method for accessing the VC then? Mar 20 01:19:21 no idea Mar 20 01:19:37 ok... I'll ask Karl. Mar 20 01:19:39 but the hash with the hlist that the driver references is actually in the atm stuff Mar 20 01:20:02 if you want to check for an API method, just look at the header files Mar 20 01:20:06 such a thing wouldn't be hard to spot Mar 20 01:20:17 and the trivial fix for the buffer prefix? Mar 20 01:21:43 and can I bug you to commit the sendsize fix for br2684ctl startup script? it's trivial...
