[Bug 394262] Re: [Karmic] nvidia DKMS building and installation for kernel 2.6.31-1-generic fails with exit status 10

2009-07-10 Thread Matt Domsch
a similar patch is needed for the older NVIDIA-
Linux-x86_64-173.14.18-pkg2.run  driver, used on older cards such as my
NV30, if not using a DKMS version of that driver.

[Bug 225811] Re: kernel: fix x86 DMI checks for PCI quirks

2008-05-07 Thread Matt Domsch
Steve:

The fundamental problem is that users expect the NICs on the motherboard
to be named eth0 and eth1 in Linux.  Without this SRU, they're named
eth1 and eth0 (e.g. backwards as compared to the silkscreen on the
case, and in BIOS SETUP pages) from expectations, which is confusing to
system administrators.

http://linux.dell.com/files/whitepapers/nic-enum-whitepaper-v3.pdf is a
whitepaper I wrote describing the problem and various solutions.  Auto-
enabling pci=bfsort is really one workaround, about a 90% solution, to
the generic problem.  That hints at a 100% solution, which is a new udev
helper program called biosdevname (http://linux.dell.com/biosdevname and
http://linux.dell.com/git biosdevname).

Yes, it can be fixed up after the fact with udev rules.  But it's better
if it need not be, which is what this patch allows.

This was a bug introduced into the 2.6.23 kernel that disabled this
feature that had been around for several kernel releases.  This SRU
fixes that bug.  It affects 5 Dell servers, and 20+ HP servers, as well
as a couple laptops.

Since git commit 08f1c192c3c32797068bfe97738babb3295bbf42 (between
kernels 2.6.22 and 2.6.23), arch/x86/pci/acpi.c has not called
pcibios_scan_root(), which would have called
arch/x86/pci/common.c:dmi_check_system().  This has prevented the
quirks listed in pciprobe_dmi_table[] from being checked and
appropriate action taken.
 
   ugh ...
 
 
This manifests itself in several Dell and HP servers not automatically
having the pci=bfsort option be applied, as well as Samsung X20 and
Compaq EVO N800c systems needing pci=assign-all-busses was no longer
automatically applied.
 
   Jesse Barnes (new PCI maintainer) Cc:-ed.
 
 please check the patch in x86.git, it should do the same thing, but
 put the call in pci_access_init...

Indeed it does (boot tested on one of the affected systems), and is a
simpler patch.  I'd be quite happy with this.  Bonus that it's already
in the x86.git tree. :-)

Ingo, is this ready to go to Linus?

Now to get it backported to -stable...

Adding the folks from HP who have lots of systems listed.

Thanks,
Matt

[Bug 192241] [NEW] dkms calls udevtrigger, should try new udevadm trigger first

2008-02-15 Thread Matt Domsch
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dkms

New udev has a program udevadm, which takes as argument 'trigger'.  This
should be invoked instead of the older udevtrigger program.  Keybuck
fixed this for Ubuntu, and I backported that fix onto the upstream
package and made it backwards-compatible as well.

How can the build of the kde-guidance package be scripted to ensure it

version of system-bios-* packages available in the repository are newer

Notice it wants to install them _again_.  Repeat indefinitely.

This happens with apt-get, aptitude, and synaptic believes the system is
always in need of update too.

Instructions for setting up a Dell system to use the repositories:

wget -q -O - http://linux.dell.com/repo/firmware/bootstrap.cgi | bash
  aptitude install firmware-addon-dell
  aptitude install $(bootstrap_firmware -a)
  update_firmware

For a non-Dell system (it should be producible there too), you can add these 
lines to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://linux.dell.com/repo hardy dell-software
deb-src http://linux.dell.com/repo hardy dell-software
deb http://linux.dell.com/repo cross-distro dell-firmware

I've tried the patch noted in the Debian bug, to no avail.  I've gone
over and over the template spec file used to generate these system-
bios-* packages, and compared the Package files in the apt-ftparchive
with other repositories, but see no difference there, which is why I
believe it's related to the Debian bug.

Any advice to avoid this would be appreciated.

Note this is seen with  0.7.6ubuntu14, and is reported by several Dell

packages posted for feisty, gutsy, and hardy right now, so I don' t know
which versions each of those customers is running. I'm running hardy

2007-11-23 Thread Matt Domsch
Trigger added, version 1.5.9-0ubuntu2 uploaded to REVU.

debian/triggers contains:
interest firmware-tools-update-firmware

debian/postinst contains:
if [ $1 == triggered ]; then
for t in $2; do
if [ $t == firmware-tools-update-firmware ]; then
/usr/bin/update_firmware --rpm -y
fi
done
fi

and BIOS payload debs debian/postinst contains:
if [ $1 == configure ]; then
   dpkg-trigger firmware-tools-update-firmware
fi

and this works as expected - the update_firmware command is run only
once at the end of the dpkg transaction.

Note, this requires a  new versioned dependency on dpkg (=
1.14.5ubuntu6) in both firmware-tools and dell-repo-tools-generated
payload debs.  This version of dpkg is only available in gutsy and
higher.  I have no automatic solution for feisty, at best we could
change the dpkg-trigger line to be || : to do nothing, and tell people
to manually run update_firmware.

[Bug 125816] Re: linux-image postinst matches header_postinst_hook for postinst_hook incorrectly

2007-10-17 Thread Matt Domsch
This fix did not make it into Gutsy gold, but will be included in any
future kernel update for Gutsy, which is where it would be needed (and
executed) anyhow.  DKMS 2.0.17.4-0ubuntu2 in gutsy/universe is not
affected by it as it does not use the broken hooks anymore, so that's
good.

As for everything under /etc/dkms/template-dkms-mkdeb/, yes, that's to

kernel module packages as debs, with its internal 'dkms mkdeb' command.

[Bug 125816] Re: linux-image postinst matches header_postinst_hook for postinst_hook incorrectly

2007-09-13 Thread Matt Domsch
you can install http://linux.dell.com/dkms/debian/dkms_2.0.17-1_all.deb
which will demonstrate the problem on kernels produced by the older
kernel-package, upgrade the kernel to one built with the newer kernel-
package (with the above patch applied) and see that it no longer
demonstrates the problem.

The demonstrated problem is that when installing a kernel built with the
broken kernel-package, DKMS is invoked twice - once by post_hook and
once by /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms; but update-grub is _never_ called
from postinst_hook (because postinst_hook was overwritten with the value
from header_postinst_hook, namely invoking dkms).  DKMS should only be
invoked once (from /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms) and update-grub should
be invoked from postinst_hook.

I'm working on packaging newer copies of DKMS, but am torn; should it
try to use header_postinst_hook at all?  If it does, then it's subject
to this breakage.  If it does not, then there's a chance that the
ordering of dpkg installs of new linux-image and linux-headers packages
will cause the dkms_autoinstaller to fail.  I need the
dkms_autoinstaller to be run after both linux-image and linux-headers
are installed.  To guarantee this, I've been hooking both of those
package's postinst hooks, so regardless of install order
dkms_autoinstaller is run after they're both installed.

I'm open to advice on this point.

 postrm_hook   = /sbin/update-grub
 header_postinst_hook = /etc/kernel/postinst.d/dkms

 When this last line is in the config file the previous lines are not
 called anymore (the postinst and postrm hooks). So update-grub is not
 executed anymore on a kernel update (or remove), which is not good.

 It can fairly easily be fixed by adding a link in the
 /etc/kernel/postinst.d directory to /sbin/update-grub.

 But I'm not really sure why the hooks in the config file are not used
 anymore. Perhaps because the /etc/kernel/* directories were empty
 before, and now there's a dkms script in them (which would maybe
 overrule the postinst/postrm_hook entries in the config file?). However,
 when removing the last line from the kernel-img.conf file, update-grub
 is again called upon installation of a new kernel... very confusing...

Doh.  See this in /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-
image-2.6.20-16-generic.postinst:

  $postinst_hook   = $1  if /postinst_hook\s*=\s*(\S+)/ig;

Notice the test.  It's matching postinst_hook  on the
header_postinst_hook line from the /etc/kernel-img.conf file, so it's
overriding the call to update-grub with another call to dkms.

That is a bug in the linux-image scripts.  Will file as such.

I guess that also means we can't rely on that to hook in DKMS for a
while... :-(  And we'll have to respin DKMS to remove that...

[Bug 121676] add DKMS to Ubuntu

2007-06-21 Thread Matt Domsch
Public bug reported:

Please include DKMS in Ubuntu main.  Version 2.0.17 or higher has Ubuntu
support, and will be used to enable brand new hardware on forthcoming
Dell systems for which the base kernel of each given Ubuntu release does
not have drivers for that new hardware.

GIT: http://linux.dell.com/git/dkms.git
Deb: http://linux.dell.com/dkms/debian/
Home page: http://linux.dell.com/dkms/dkms.html


DKMS stands for Dynamic Kernel Module Support. It is designed to create a 
framework where kernel dependent module source can reside so that it is very 
easy to rebuild modules as you upgrade kernels. This will allow Linux vendors 
to provide driver drops without having to wait for new kernel releases while 
also taking out the guesswork for customers attempting to recompile modules for 
new kernels.
 
For veteran Linux users it also provides some advantages since a separate 
framework for driver drops will remove kernel releases as a blocking mechanism 
for distributing code. Instead, driver development should speed up as this 
separate module source tree will allow quicker testing cycles meaning better 
tested code can later be pushed back into the kernel at a more rapid pace. Its 
also nice for developers and maintainers as DKMS only requires a source tarball 
in conjunction with a small configuration file in order to function correctly.

[Bug 120049] header_postinst_hook should use /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d instead

2007-06-12 Thread Matt Domsch
Public bug reported:

The linux-image package has preinst and postinst scripts that let other 
packages hook in, by placing a script in /etc/kernel/preinst.d/ and 
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/.
The linux-headers package also has a way for other packages to hook in, but it 
requires editing /etc/kernel-img.conf and adding a header_postinst_hook=... 
line, which only allows for a single application to hook there.

Dell DKMS 2.0.17 will make use of the /etc/kernel/preinst.d/ and
postinst.d/ directories to be aware of linux-image package updates, but
it also needs to hook linux-headers postinst.  It would be nice for
linux-headers to have a similar directory mechanism, ala
/etc/kernel/header_preinst.d/ and header_postinst.d/, rather than
needing to edit /etc/kernel-img.conf.

Re: [Bug 43745] Re: Ubuntu corrupts real time clock on some dell laptops

 Well, it's not limited to Dell laptops. I can confirm that it also

Can you please post exactly the steps you took that invoked the
failure, the symptom as you see it, and what you did to recover?
We've never seen anything like this on SuSE or Red Hat-based distros,
and I was unable to make an Inspiron 6400 fail in any manner with
several versions of Ubuntu.

With details on how you're reproducing the failure, perhaps we can
actually find it.

Also, what's your BIOS version on the PE840?

Thanks,
Matt
