**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Dec 11 02:59:56 2009 Dec 11 07:46:19 Good morning to everybody Dec 11 07:47:28 any Ubuntu issue on ARM9, Anyka 7802L/266Mhz processor it is possible? Dec 11 08:46:57 Mendocinox: We don't have any kernel for that, but the jaunty / 9.04 userspace should work Dec 11 08:47:08 later ones will not Dec 11 08:58:31 lool: thanks. the distro names 9.04 userspace? Dec 11 08:58:41 Where can I find that? Dec 11 09:04:46 Mendocinox: I mean Ubuntu jaunty / Ubuntu 9.04 for ARM Dec 11 09:04:58 You can find it at http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ Dec 11 09:05:06 Usually accessed with APT Dec 11 09:07:40 thank you very much for your help, lool brother Dec 11 12:52:08 ogra: so we want to try the new kernel asap i guess? who will get that in? Dec 11 12:52:29 cooloney will care for imx51 i think Dec 11 12:52:39 on the other front i would like to not land uboot for imx51 until we have a booting install image. ... unless we dont find what is going on Dec 11 12:52:43 does that make sense? Dec 11 12:53:22 yes Dec 11 12:53:24 not saying we shouldnt work on uboot ... just not land it until we have an image that works more or less well to hand out. if we think uboot is safe to land we can just do it once we have it though Dec 11 12:53:40 ogra: do you know when ncommander will be back? Dec 11 12:53:47 e.g. do we need to find someone else checking dove? Dec 11 12:53:49 yeah, i will do some scripting in my holidays on boring days :) Dec 11 12:54:07 * ogra checks googlecal Dec 11 12:54:14 hey ... holidays should be holy Dec 11 12:54:35 nah Dec 11 12:54:40 i'll be bored enough Dec 11 12:55:04 ogra: so cooloney is imx51 ... who is dove? Dec 11 12:55:17 and i have to read mail at least every second day ... i dont like to return from holidays having thethousands of mails waiting Dec 11 12:55:23 ericm i think Dec 11 12:55:27 ericmiao? Dec 11 12:55:30 yeah Dec 11 12:55:34 but we should probably as in #kernel to be sure Dec 11 12:55:57 maybe he can help us? those issues dont really feel like they start in user space ;) Dec 11 12:56:05 * ogra gets between 400 and 600 mails per day ... i wont stay away from my mailbox for more than a week Dec 11 12:56:28 i think they are a combo of HW and toolchain Dec 11 12:57:09 lool: status on my dove board ;)? Dec 11 12:57:18 i want to have the switch to uboot for imx51 done in my first workweek after my holiday Dec 11 12:57:37 yes. Dec 11 12:57:40 (i.e. by jan. 8th) Dec 11 12:57:51 so we can do some testbuilds before A2 freeze Dec 11 12:58:01 i will probably do some excersizes with uboot just for fun (not really for image, but to get used to the whole procedure etc.) Dec 11 12:58:13 yeah. Dec 11 12:58:13 yeah Dec 11 12:58:17 you should get yourself a beagleboard Dec 11 12:58:17 asac: No, I worked mostly on python policy in the last two weeks Dec 11 12:58:19 i would like to get a working install this year though Dec 11 12:58:21 I'm starting to see the end of it Dec 11 12:58:26 hmm Dec 11 12:58:32 its great for exercises on uboot :) Dec 11 12:58:42 asac: You say on ubuntu-devel@ that thumb2 improves performance, but it generally does not Dec 11 12:58:47 or for any exercises :) Dec 11 12:58:53 lool: thats what was said ;) Dec 11 12:59:05 lool, it should according to arm Dec 11 12:59:14 asac: You said "While this improves performance" Dec 11 12:59:16 asac: And it does not Dec 11 12:59:20 lool, and given that we have smaller binaries it must actually Dec 11 12:59:23 i only carry forward the marketing stuff communicates Dec 11 12:59:28 probably not noticeabled Dec 11 12:59:33 It decreases cache pressure Dec 11 12:59:40 But code will actually run slower Dec 11 12:59:55 because of compression ? Dec 11 13:00:01 No Dec 11 13:00:15 lool: what counts is that the overall performance of the system is supposed to be better Dec 11 13:00:16 asac: It's just FYI; I personally thought Thumb2 was faster until yesterday Dec 11 13:00:23 lool: ok thanks ;) Dec 11 13:00:35 i am not sure what exactly is faster/slower on the CPU level Dec 11 13:00:46 just that what we are doing is supposed to improve performance summed up Dec 11 13:00:47 Did someone look at how big the .kos are on armel? Dec 11 13:00:56 du -hs `find /lib/modules/2.6.32-7-generic -type d -name crypto` => stupidly small numbers Dec 11 13:01:02 Biggest is 852K /lib/modules/2.6.32-7-generic/kernel/crypto Dec 11 13:01:15 lool: the problem is that all modules are copied Dec 11 13:01:16 its a bug Dec 11 13:01:18 (uncompressed -- don't see how that could bloat by MBs on armel) Dec 11 13:01:19 lool: do you have some sources for your claims (not that i'm questioning you, I'm interested in this topic) Dec 11 13:01:25 asac: What's the list of dirs? Dec 11 13:01:26 or are you not referring to the bug? Dec 11 13:01:32 lool: all dirs. we tracked it down Dec 11 13:01:36 https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/495161 Dec 11 13:01:38 Launchpad bug 495161 in cryptsetup "initramfs cryptroot hook bloats armel initrd by adding >13M of compressed modules" [Critical,Triaged] Dec 11 13:01:46 shenki: A Freescale guy who told me it was documented in ARM docs Dec 11 13:02:12 shenki: Note that performance of some programs might improve if they fit in the L2 cache thanks to T2 instead of having to be read from RAM on e.g. every loop Dec 11 13:02:12 is thumb2 realized in microcode? Dec 11 13:02:23 shenki: But in general, without taking care of cache it's actually slower Dec 11 13:02:24 (/me thought arm doesnt do microcode ... but has no clue to be honest) Dec 11 13:02:31 asac: I have no idea Dec 11 13:02:37 lool: the instruction decode slows it down? or... Dec 11 13:02:50 shenki: I have no idea Dec 11 13:03:04 lool: is this in comparision to 'thumb' (not v2) or ARM? Dec 11 13:03:06 we hopefully will get some benchmarks at some point ;) Dec 11 13:03:09 I didn't look at that ARM errata, but that guy was reasonnable and very confident on this Dec 11 13:03:25 shenki: It's thumb2 versus arm Dec 11 13:03:29 asac: im thinking i might re-do my tests with thumb2 vs ARMv7 :) Dec 11 13:03:35 http://jms.id.au/wiki/TheresSomethingOnMyArm Dec 11 13:03:38 asac, heh, we seem to have a race on the bug both duplicating each other :) Dec 11 13:03:55 asac: there is a writeup of the tests ive done Dec 11 13:03:58 ogra: really? Dec 11 13:04:02 i am just posting things we find Dec 11 13:04:03 ;) Dec 11 13:04:07 me too Dec 11 13:04:12 the bug seems ok to me Dec 11 13:04:14 asac: I've read the comments on that bug already Dec 11 13:04:23 asac: I don't know what the find outputs on armel systems Dec 11 13:04:24 ogra: i was faster ;) Dec 11 13:04:30 On my ubuntu install it's really small Dec 11 13:04:33 yeah, you definately win :) Dec 11 13:04:35 lool: the find outputs empty Dec 11 13:04:43 thats one of the things we are investigating: Dec 11 13:04:45 lool, see the last two comments Dec 11 13:04:47 a) add a safety belt: dont call copy_modules_dir if archcrypto is empty Dec 11 13:04:48 b) find out why on arm archcrypto is empty in the first place; if the find needs to be adjusted to it. Dec 11 13:04:49 So your find returns empty Dec 11 13:04:50 ok Dec 11 13:04:57 right Dec 11 13:05:14 asac: Both have to be addressed Dec 11 13:05:27 asac, b) is easy ... there is no crypto dir at all Dec 11 13:05:40 shenki: I asked about power usage too, but he said it was similar or identical Dec 11 13:05:44 lool: yes. title of those is: Dec 11 13:05:44 two things to do here: Dec 11 13:05:46 a) Dec 11 13:05:47 b) Dec 11 13:05:57 root@ubuntu:/# grep SAHARA boot/config-2.6.31-601-imx51 Dec 11 13:05:57 CONFIG_MXC_SAHARA=y Dec 11 13:05:57 # CONFIG_MXC_SAHARA_POLL_MODE is not set Dec 11 13:05:57 # CONFIG_MXC_SAHARA_USER_MODE is not set Dec 11 13:06:07 the crypto stuff for imx51 is compiled in Dec 11 13:06:18 ogra: yeah. so a) is enough ;) Dec 11 13:06:19 no modules you could find Dec 11 13:06:23 asac: I was suggesting to do both because you wrote here "thats one of the things we are investigating" Dec 11 13:06:33 lool: what kind of engineer was your freescale friend? (how far down in the stack) Dec 11 13:06:33 I thought it meant you would only do one of the two Dec 11 13:06:35 right. sorry Dec 11 13:06:36 no Dec 11 13:06:37 both Dec 11 13:06:51 shenki: *cough* Dec 11 13:07:08 maybe it was a powerpc fanatic ;) Dec 11 13:07:21 :) Dec 11 13:07:39 or the office gardener :) Dec 11 13:07:39 i can only say that i can act quicker with 2 thumbs ;) rather than one cut off ;) Dec 11 13:07:45 shenki: Actually http://www.arm.com/products/CPUs/archi-thumb2.html shows that thumb2 is not higher performance Dec 11 13:08:02 shenki: It's faster than *thmb 1*! Dec 11 13:08:15 hrm. wtf did they invent thumb2 then!? Dec 11 13:08:19 So I guess the higher performance stuff comes from thumb1 comparisons Dec 11 13:08:27 the high level outcome of that is definitly better performance for the whole system Dec 11 13:08:34 shenki: Well it might overall be better than ARM in some cases Dec 11 13:08:35 if no net improvement on CPU level, size reduction is good :) Dec 11 13:08:41 shenki: And your binaries are smaller too Dec 11 13:09:01 yeah, cache, memory...all ins Dec 11 13:09:02 for windows *g* Dec 11 13:09:07 asac: You might see larger code performing *slower* though Dec 11 13:09:16 let's say firefox for instance Dec 11 13:09:20 chromium is 30% smaller ARM v thumb Dec 11 13:09:26 s/ins/wins Dec 11 13:09:29 I don't think firefox fits in cache Dec 11 13:09:49 Anyway, /me returns to python policy stuff Dec 11 13:09:55 no. but if size is smaller its still faster to get from mem to cpu Dec 11 13:09:58 even if not in cache Dec 11 13:10:09 thats my ignorant idea of this Dec 11 13:11:14 anyway... details ;) Dec 11 13:11:23 real life will show if this was worth it ;) Dec 11 13:44:53 plars: do we have a bug about busted dove image? maybe we should open one? Dec 11 13:45:26 plars: can you confirm that a lucid chroot on modern dove doesnt work at all? Dec 11 13:45:33 asac: yes, 494831 Dec 11 13:45:34 (to narrow down if its only kernel problem) Dec 11 13:45:39 bug 494831 Dec 11 13:45:39 Launchpad bug 494831 in linux-mvl-dove "Alignment trap/Unhandled fault errors on boot" [Critical,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494831 Dec 11 13:46:20 plars: feel free to target such obvious release blockers for lucid Dec 11 13:46:21 asac: will give it a try Dec 11 13:46:31 done Dec 11 13:47:29 ok added tags Dec 11 13:47:58 also subscribe dmart Dec 11 13:48:03 subscribed Dec 11 13:52:43 asac: so do you believe that less likely to be kernel, more likely to be toolchain? Dec 11 13:53:01 asac, do we want to duplicate Bug 494827 ? Dec 11 13:53:03 Launchpad bug 494827 in ubiquity "Installing on babbage 3, crashed at ~98%" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494827 Dec 11 14:06:17 ogra: yeah Dec 11 14:06:34 plars: i dont know . i hope its either or ... and not a combination Dec 11 14:06:44 but starting with a chroot will help checking that imo Dec 11 14:07:16 though let me quickly replace the script in a test install and see if ubiquity actually survives Dec 11 14:09:30 well, FSVO quickly :) Dec 11 14:12:05 ogra: it survives Dec 11 14:12:07 i tried it Dec 11 14:12:10 it installs etc. Dec 11 14:12:21 at least when commenting the lines after "Copying files..." Dec 11 14:12:30 a full ubiquity run ? Dec 11 14:12:33 yes Dec 11 14:12:42 at about 60% you can change the file Dec 11 14:12:44 and it will just succeed Dec 11 14:12:50 well, i'll do it anyway since i want a lucid install Dec 11 14:13:04 ogra: the install doesnt boot here. seems to be usb-storage problem though Dec 11 14:13:16 so maybe with a different disc variant it will work Dec 11 14:13:19 well it boots Dec 11 14:13:20 i'll check Dec 11 14:13:21 just doesnt start X Dec 11 14:13:25 you end up at the console Dec 11 14:13:40 and gdm cannot be killed/restarted without locking up the whole system Dec 11 14:14:07 feature Dec 11 14:14:19 i'll investigate that once i have a proper install Dec 11 14:21:36 hmm, ubiquity doesnt really like to be re-run if it crashed once apparently Dec 11 14:21:47 thats annoying Dec 11 14:23:33 ogra: reusing existing partitions is broken too Dec 11 14:23:46 so delete + create partition to workaround Dec 11 14:23:58 i always to a full reinstall Dec 11 14:24:00 plars: do we have a bug on that already? Dec 11 14:24:13 hmm. Dec 11 14:24:13 no need to delete for that Dec 11 14:24:18 ogra: maybe your usb is busted now? Dec 11 14:24:28 just check "use complete device" Dec 11 14:24:35 not here ;) Dec 11 14:24:43 i have a good karmic partition on that i want to keep Dec 11 14:24:49 ah Dec 11 14:24:56 i have an extra disk for that Dec 11 14:24:56 until i have stacked up hardware redundancy Dec 11 14:25:01 yeah Dec 11 14:25:08 will get that too soon i guess Dec 11 14:25:19 a well partitioned disk with separate home etc ... Dec 11 14:25:20 asac: on what? Dec 11 14:25:28 though i started doing my work on SATA recently Dec 11 14:25:37 15:23 < asac> ogra: reusing existing partitions is broken too Dec 11 14:25:37 15:23 < asac> so delete + create partition to workaround Dec 11 14:25:39 so its not that important anymore Dec 11 14:25:41 ubiquity Dec 11 14:25:42 plars: ^^ Dec 11 14:25:57 its partman, not ubiquity Dec 11 14:26:23 asac: hmm... sounds familiar, like possibly something we filed a while back and got untagged because it was not specific to armel Dec 11 14:26:28 asac: will have to search around for it Dec 11 14:26:33 thx Dec 11 14:26:45 ogra: yeah Dec 11 14:26:55 also ubiquity is really really slow on arm imo Dec 11 14:27:05 not sure what they do, but it feels not really designed for speed Dec 11 14:27:11 similar to update-manager :) Dec 11 14:27:12 yes, lool filed a bug for that around jaunty Dec 11 14:27:21 still open iirc Dec 11 14:27:26 actually i edited the hook file at about 58% Dec 11 14:27:31 then at about 60% the change was gone Dec 11 14:27:37 feels like it copies everything twice or something Dec 11 14:27:45 or i didnt hit save properly Dec 11 14:27:55 i'll replace the file while langpacks are downloaded ;) Dec 11 14:28:01 but that doenst make the general slowness go away Dec 11 14:28:18 its the throughput ... Dec 11 14:28:31 grapics driver is also sucky ;) Dec 11 14:28:36 the USB controller gets you something like 16MB/s Dec 11 14:28:40 displaying stuff alone is really slow Dec 11 14:28:42 yeah Dec 11 14:28:43 could be Dec 11 14:28:44 there is no graphics driver Dec 11 14:28:45 but but but Dec 11 14:28:53 its framebuffer Dec 11 14:28:53 its also happning for things like timezone selection etc. Dec 11 14:29:01 video killed the radio star Dec 11 14:29:02 the driver that exists is 100% closed source Dec 11 14:29:12 i know. Dec 11 14:29:26 and we dont include the imx-libs package yet Dec 11 14:29:37 is that something for restricted? Dec 11 14:29:38 i'll push that to the archive during this cycle Dec 11 14:29:42 hmm Dec 11 14:29:44 ok Dec 11 14:29:49 parts of it ... Dec 11 14:29:59 there are binary files for video codecs Dec 11 14:30:12 but i split the package already, look in the P3A Dec 11 14:30:52 with imx-libs we at least have a 2D gpu API available ... Dec 11 14:31:00 cool Dec 11 14:31:03 will check Dec 11 14:31:06 and a vpu for gstreamer Dec 11 14:31:15 have to run for lunch and then prepare the release report Dec 11 15:02:12 weird ... ubiwuity is sitting at partitoning at 5% since 20min Dec 11 15:02:19 no errors or anything Dec 11 15:05:08 err Dec 11 15:05:23 so now i'm confused, i got dropped back to the partitioner step Dec 11 15:16:52 ogra: this sounds like the usb problems I was seeing Dec 11 15:17:04 there are no errors anywhere Dec 11 15:17:11 ogra: I got an on screen error, and a lot of spam in dmesg though Dec 11 15:17:19 nothing ... Dec 11 15:17:31 dmesg is fine, installer debug log is fine Dec 11 15:17:40 it just starts over Dec 11 15:17:44 i rebooted now Dec 11 15:18:23 suihkulokki: Did you manage to get your LD_PRELOAD exec() wrapper working with qemu-arm? Dec 11 15:26:39 * ogra doesnt get it, same issue, no errors ... the same image worked fine on the same hardware yesterday Dec 11 15:27:07 JamieBennett: can you check if there is more to add to weekly summary? Dec 11 15:27:12 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/ReleaseStatus/Lucid Dec 11 15:27:38 its also extremely slow Dec 11 15:28:42 sigh, what is that Dec 11 15:29:09 ogra: there are bugs with usb imo Dec 11 15:29:17 asac, no errors at all Dec 11 15:29:37 lool: yeah, I have even a nice demo ready Dec 11 15:29:49 and after the first try the disk was properly partitioned Dec 11 15:29:56 now I just need to get it uploaded somewhere with a readme Dec 11 15:29:59 ogra: yes. repartitioning is a problme Dec 11 15:30:05 did you unmount it before starting ubiquity? Dec 11 15:30:10 nope Dec 11 15:30:15 yo uneed to do that Dec 11 15:30:16 i never had to do that Dec 11 15:30:31 and i would expect any errors to show up in any log files Dec 11 15:30:32 right Dec 11 15:30:44 suihkulokki: Cool! may I help? Dec 11 15:30:52 i think its a regression, but we seem to have big bugs on resetting usb devices/ports Dec 11 15:30:52 i see the partitioning steps in the logs and in dmesg Dec 11 15:31:02 suihkulokki: It looks like it's something I definitely want to use instead of the static binary Dec 11 15:31:04 and they finish properly Dec 11 15:31:06 ogra: for me ubiquity crashed Dec 11 15:31:09 suihkulokki: Do you have a name for it? Dec 11 15:31:11 and UI stayed up Dec 11 15:31:14 so you didnt see it Dec 11 15:31:18 then ubiquity jumps back to the partitioner Dec 11 15:31:26 think it forked a process that crashed and then waits for ever fo rthat to end Dec 11 15:31:26 no Dec 11 15:31:38 suihkulokki: Perhaps in qemu itself? Dec 11 15:31:40 i can even watch the slideshow while it hangs at 5% Dec 11 15:32:02 until it gets me back to the partitioner Dec 11 15:32:14 where i then see that it properly formatted and partitioned Dec 11 15:32:25 good. cant you then continue? Dec 11 15:32:34 oh reusing existing partitions definitly crashes ubiquitiy ;) Dec 11 15:32:34 yes, to get into the same loop Dec 11 15:32:40 ogra: try advanced.

Dec 11 17:27:38 the install works Dec 11 17:27:45 just usb storage was the problem Dec 11 17:27:45 he works in asia ... Dec 11 17:27:50 install on SD works well Dec 11 17:27:52 i am using it now ;) Dec 11 17:27:55 * asac happy Dec 11 17:27:59 where its 1:30 am now Dec 11 17:28:02 great Dec 11 17:28:04 i guess the m_val above is the problem ;) Dec 11 17:28:05 good to hear Dec 11 17:28:09 for the usb-storage thing Dec 11 17:28:13 talk to the kernel team then Dec 11 17:28:26 we should really get two kernel folks on the team Dec 11 17:28:30 we have separate kernels anyway Dec 11 17:28:44 but thats coming from the upstream core Dec 11 17:28:54 sure? maybe its a merge issue Dec 11 17:28:54 there were no changes in the board patches Dec 11 17:29:06 even then its coming from upstream Dec 11 17:29:07 i wouldnt think that our kernel folks are perfect at merging Dec 11 17:29:13 especially since they have zillions of patches to go through Dec 11 17:29:14 the code didnt change on the imx51 side Dec 11 17:29:31 right Dec 11 17:29:35 thats x86 Dec 11 17:29:35 ;) Dec 11 17:29:40 so while it might be a merge issue, the *cause* is upstream changes Dec 11 17:30:14 i think apw does the rebase Dec 11 17:30:28 right. merge issue is for me: mistake on rebase Dec 11 17:30:33 rebasing also requires merging Dec 11 17:30:43 anyway Dec 11 17:30:48 that particular hunk ix x86 Dec 11 17:30:53 and hopefully doesnt change anything for us Dec 11 17:31:22 ogra: what does it take to make a kernel from the fsl code drop? Dec 11 17:31:29 i think the most imx51 stuff is in platform specific subdirs anyway Dec 11 17:31:45 asac, a .31 tree :) Dec 11 17:31:54 we have that Dec 11 17:32:02 then you should just be able to apply them one by one Dec 11 17:32:07 i mean we could just clone the current .31 tree Dec 11 17:32:11 and apply them Dec 11 17:32:26 right Dec 11 17:32:32 its 170 patches Dec 11 17:32:38 do we reall yneed to base that on ubuntu tree? Dec 11 17:32:42 there is a script in the tarball Dec 11 17:32:44 we could just use upstream tree and the patches probably will just apply Dec 11 17:32:55 for your own stuff upstream should work Dec 11 17:33:08 for the distro we need the ubuntu tree Dec 11 17:33:12 why? Dec 11 17:33:18 you need apparmor and friends Dec 11 17:33:23 hmm Dec 11 17:33:23 and aufs Dec 11 17:33:30 and the other ubuntu suace patches Dec 11 17:33:35 *sauce Dec 11 17:33:35 so apparmore is not upstream? Dec 11 17:33:41 what a bad thing ;) Dec 11 17:33:47 what is ubuntu sauce? Dec 11 17:33:58 the stuff on top of the dogfood Dec 11 17:34:01 :) Dec 11 17:34:02 doesnt that mean: arbitrary hack-crap added at some point for odd reasons ;)? Dec 11 17:34:22 ok. me should stop bitching about kernel trees ;) Dec 11 17:34:47 see /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/ubuntu/ Dec 11 17:35:10 and i think we also merge staging from greg Dec 11 17:35:20 or at least parts of that Dec 11 17:35:35 what is lirc? Dec 11 17:35:46 bunch of modules there and i have no clue why they are there ;) Dec 11 17:35:46 infrared remote control Dec 11 17:35:52 for dvb cards etc Dec 11 17:36:00 thats considered esesntial enough? Dec 11 17:36:07 apparently :) Dec 11 17:36:10 to justify forking? Dec 11 17:36:21 its not forked Dec 11 17:36:26 it sits on top Dec 11 17:36:31 like a sauce :) Dec 11 17:36:43 well. it requires rebasing each and every release Dec 11 17:36:48 which means that merge bugs can happen Dec 11 17:36:51 and sneak in ;) Dec 11 17:37:00 of course better than merging instead of rebasing ;) Dec 11 17:37:04 we also develop stuff in tree afaik Dec 11 17:37:15 in tree? Dec 11 17:37:19 that havent been accepted upstream yet but will be soon Dec 11 17:37:22 in our tree Dec 11 17:37:27 yes Dec 11 17:37:35 but thats also sitting on top i hope Dec 11 17:37:38 but better talk to the kernel team about that Dec 11 17:37:41 and not covered by upstream merges that came later ;) Dec 11 17:38:29 i *think* they are knowing what they do ... Dec 11 17:38:39 ... sometimes ... Dec 11 17:38:42 i am not convinced ;) Dec 11 17:38:48 ... depending on beer level ... Dec 11 17:39:03 like i ping rtg everytime getting from him a hard confirm that the harware magic is disabled in wifi drivers Dec 11 17:39:13 and then during UDS emmet has issues because they are still not disabled ;) Dec 11 17:39:31 even though rtg confirmed at beta and rc time that its turned off ;) Dec 11 17:39:56 merge issues :P Dec 11 17:40:00 right ;) Dec 11 17:40:14 anyway. in general situation is much better ;) Dec 11 17:40:27 than in the past ;) Dec 11 17:40:28 * JamieBennett needs lirc for his XBMC machine ;) Dec 11 17:40:46 there you go Dec 11 17:40:50 usecase !
