[11:16] no [11:16] what is it then?

I commented out the checks. :-) [11:22] seb128: it's because xorg hasn't built on ia64 yet. [11:23] lamont_r, so, I'm supposed to do something with the build-dep ? or we just wait ? [11:23] lamont_r: hrm. would wietse kill you? [11:23] jdub: it's ubuntu-only. :-( [11:23] seb128: we should beat on doko [11:23] ok :) === lamont_r will deal with the bug. [11:24] thanks [11:24] lamont_r: is it sane on servers? [11:24] jdub: probably more so than on desktops. [11:25] oh? [11:25] servers tend to shutdown nicely. [11:26] hrrrmmmmm === Nafallo [nafallo@h246n3c1o1027.bredband.skanova.com] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [11:26] but when they haven't, you want them to start up paranoid :) [11:26] but, yeah. it should really schedule a postfix check run for some point in the future... [11:27] hrm... cron.daily here we come.. :-) [11:28] jdub: it's the part that runs through the entirety of /var/spool/postfix and does sanity checks on it.

[11:45] mjg59: the network module unload stuff didn't work for my card because there is no driver entry in sys for the card [11:45] jdub: on further thought and discussion...

[03:08] yeah [03:08] rock [03:08] i get totally bored when hotplug starts on my x22 [03:09] rburton: so get a faster laptop with less hw :-P [03:09] ha [03:09] :) === pitti [~pitti@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:12] trulux: yo [03:12] hey lamont_r ! [03:12] lamont_r, i've got an ubuntu-running box === pitti [~pitti@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:13] P4, a lot of mem, 120G hd, only for Ubuntu and sarge [03:14] lamont_r, i have a few questions about Ubuntu, mainly why fonts look weird in the crt screen [03:14] i want to get a lcd panel for that box but still using a hp mx70 [03:14] those would be #ubuntu questions [03:16] kay, then next questions about dev [03:16] btw, my cd was broken and i had a real pain using it [03:16] lamont_r, the selinux packages create conflicts with gnome [03:17] tseng, ping [03:17] bummer. selinux isn't in main [03:18] also, i think i'm going to send a bug report about adding some patches to the linux-sources [03:18] and maybe about bootsplash, which i've made some optimized pkgs [03:19] we're not going to be using bootsplash. [03:19] in the other hand, usb support seems broken in my box, my slim disk (ide-to-usb) doesn't work (it's just a simple usb-storage compliant dev) [03:20] Kamion, why? it's eye-candy for new users [03:20] bootsplash broke our installer. [03:20] last time we tried this [03:20] we're doing a pure user-space solution instead [03:20] trulux: we'll use other, better crack [03:20] trulux: what kernel are you running? [03:20] i mean not in the installer, i mean in the linux-sources pkgs [03:20] the installer uses the stock kernel; we are not going to change that, sorry [03:20] fabbione, 2.6.8.1-p4-1 (my own) [03:20] Kamion, ok [03:21] trulux: if it's broken why would you open a bug on our linux-source? [03:21] bootsplash? [03:21] no, it's about it [03:21] WONTFIX [03:21] bootsplash will stay outside the kernel [03:21] i mean about other things, mainly security-related patches [03:21] trulux: such as which one? [03:22] fabbione, kay, i'm not talking about it now [03:22] trulux: i am the temporary kernel maintainer [03:22] fabbione, openswan ipsec stack [03:22] so either you tell me what is about [03:22] that's not security [03:22] these are enanchment [03:22] grsecurity (when it comes available) [03:22] fabbione, yep [03:22] but it's not security [03:22] fabbione, let me find you the patches [03:23] ipsec is already in the kernel dude [03:23] ah, new X crack. [03:23] Mithrandir: yup [03:23] finally it will unlock a bunch of packages on sparc === Kamion adds ia64 stuff to the seeds === lamont_r ^5s Kamion [03:24] Kamion: want to start adding sparc too? [03:24] lamont_r: what's the problem with mono stuff? [03:24] fabbione, not the openswan stack [03:24] kernel ipsec stack is different [03:24] Mithrandir: source package? [03:24] lamont_r: mono [03:25] 2.6 kernel openswan was using native kernel stuff (no patch), I thought [03:25] fabbione: will do later, want to check with elmo what'll happen if I seed sparc stuff though [03:25] lamont_r: unupgradeable since a few days, you mumbled "universe" when somebody talked about it two days ago [03:25] Mithrandir: right. let me check [03:25] lamont_r: so did I [03:25] Kamion: sure :-) [03:25] probably the implementation is different, but for christ sick the RFC's are the same [03:27] actually i should ask Iari about it [03:30] Mithrandir: mcs is version 1.0.2, needs to be 1.0.4, it would appear. [03:31] lamont_r: ok, so Debian's broken as well? [03:31] guess. [03:34] sure looks that way === lup|gone [~gcforever@kn-ivl-2.kuleuven.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:38] daniels you there? [03:39] lup|gone: sup [03:40] I was looking at your bootcharts [03:40] right [03:40] and I wondered why like windows you can't start network stuff after X is started [03:47] a large part of it is hostname changing, but we can hack around it [03:47] we've been seriously considering it [03:48] yeah [03:48] seems like almost 10 sec [03:48] the pc is doing almost nothing :s [03:50] with udevsend that becomes async [03:51] thom: going to do ifup from dev.d ? [03:52] sjoerd: i think that's gonna be how it winds up, yeah [03:52] nice [03:52] scott's boot currently is "interesting" [03:52] thom: how so? [03:52] ja [03:52] uh [03:52] oops [03:53] Mithrandir: a stack of stuff now runs before their modules are loaded ;-) [03:54] heh === loogaroo [sockd@h195202157016.moe.cm.kabsi.at] has joined #ubuntu-devel [03:54] does hotplug start the scripts parallel ? [03:55] udevd doing hotplug stuff serializes the stuff that depends on eachother.. the rest runs parallel [03:56] nice [04:01] elmo_away: please sync autofs [04:02] anybody know where elmo is? [04:04] Mithrandir: he's not feeling well; went to his room for a nap [04:05] ok [04:05] I guess saying "please sync" and assigning the bug to him ought to work, then. === pitti [~pitti@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:14] elmo_away, gnome2-user-docs sync please === sjoerd goes to slay a kiwi [04:17] sjoerd: do it on the wiki === zul [~chuck@zul.developer.gentoo] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:25] 1093 xorg.trace-1303 [04:25] 877 xorg.trace-1625 [04:25] hah [04:25] that's a micro-optimisation at this point, but ber === daniels goes looking for other optimisations. [04:26] 20%! [04:26] thom: .11/~daniels/Xorg, as usual [04:26] noice [04:26] gonna finish bootchart packaging [04:27] is there a "real" way of modifiying inittab? [04:27] in postinst/whatever? [04:27] yeah [04:28] 'echo' [04:28] i don't really want to just apply a patch in the postinst [04:28] but i guess i will [04:29] and we ditch another 80 open()s (not stat()s) by sanitising font configuration [04:29] so when gdmgreeter ends the user sees the gdmlogin window? [04:29] I CAN SMELL ROCKING :) [04:29] lup|gone: basically yes [04:30] (and another 100 by sanitising extension configuration ...) [04:30] lup|gone: yeah [04:30] we're not gonna get much faster than 35-40 secs on the x40 i think [04:30] thom: .11/~daniels/xorg.conf for superstreamlined configuration [04:30] (with no functionality loss) [04:30] thom: 35-40 seconds until what? [04:30] mjg59: boot -> gdm login screen [04:30] Ok [04:30] mjg59: start of rcS -> end of rc2 [04:31] But gdm could be moved further up rc2? [04:31] mjg59: it's at 13 already [04:31] thom: Uh. So is 40 seconds end of rc2 or appearance of login window? === seb128 [~seb128@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:32] mjg59: there's maybe a second's difference between those here [04:32] thom: Really? Wow. [04:32] But that's now in parallel, rather than in series, I guess [04:33] Are you doing any readahead yet? [04:34] udevd is cute, it parallelises events on different DEVPATH, but serialises events on the same [04:34] mjg59: http://www.planetarytramp.net/bootchart/bootchart-20041209-1318.png [04:35] hmm, down to 571 now [04:35] (Incidentally, how does this compare to FC?) [04:35] mjg59: we're smacking the crap out of the numbers we can find [04:35] that's a 90% saving [04:35] thom: That's some pretty fucking solid disk i/o [04:35] mjg59: yeah [04:35] Any idea how much of it's thrash? [04:36] mjg59: i imagine much of the readahead is seek, but besides that i can't really tell [04:36] And this is on an X40? [04:36] With a 4200RPM disk? [04:36] yep [04:36] Man [04:36] How's the readahead configured? === aj_ [aj-irc@azure.humbug.org.au] has joined #ubuntu-devel [04:36] thom: fuck yeah, cupsd's init is totally nuked off that :p [04:37] pretty manually right now - we've straced X, gdm, gdmgreeter, cupsys and worked out what they're opening [04:37] daniels you said in your blogs about some issues with gdm speed what do you exactly mean by that? [04:38] Hrm. Should the readahead be carrying on past rc2? [04:38] mjg59: bit under a thousand files in the readahead [04:38] ideally not [04:38] That looks like it'd thrash heavily for 7 seconds or so [04:38] Eurgh. Yeah, you're getting readahead during X startup. [04:38] That can't be good. [04:39] you'll note that there's no network startup in that chart - with that readahead and network finish about the same time [04:39] Maybe rc2 should block until readahead is done? [04:39] yeah, i think something like that [04:39] Just drop something into rc2.d at the start [04:39] I love how ipw2100 is a good 2 seconds of D state [04:40] Must be firmware loading [04:40] you should see scott's soundcard load [04:40] there's a bootchart-keybuk-1.png in that dir [04:40] keybuk's bootchart is teh suckitude [04:41] yeah [04:41] Oh, the 10 seconds of nothing are waiting for DHCP... [04:41] That should so be backgrounded, and individual scripts block if necessary [04:41] lup|gone: it seems to take a *lot* of CPU [04:41] mjg59: right [04:41] oh, dhcp is gone from my boot now :p [04:41] we're talking about dependency init [04:41] it's where this is going, totally [04:41] HOLY SHIT [04:42] How does it manage 10 seconds of module loading? [04:42] *shrug* that alsa driver sucks [04:42] that's the soundcard of death [04:42] What's it trying to do? Copy the entire OS over a single wire bus? [04:43] there's probably sleep(10) in there or something [04:43] I wonder if hotplug can't start parallel to X [04:43] no, it's spinning the entire time, innit? [04:43] I'm amused at how you're micro-optimising it on machines that are probably going to be rebooted something like once a month in normal usage [04:43] it plays the free software song muted to check the card, I assume [04:43] lup|gone: think: sound [04:43] daniels: Kernel-space sleep spins [04:43] why sound? [04:43] On the other hand, you can't sleep for more than 0.1 seconds in the kernel now [04:43] There's a magic macro that breaks it [04:43] gdmgreeter needs sound [04:43] X doesn't I think? [04:44] down to 538. if I attempt to optimise it further, please smack me in the head. === thom prepares things to launch at daniels [04:44] daniels: 538 opens? [04:44] lup|gone: nope, X doesn't, but if you start it parallel, then you run the risk of having your GNOME session start before your sound card comes up, which is massive suck. [04:44] mjg59: 538 opens/stats/whatever [04:44] mjg59: as opposed to 5702 originally [04:45] mjg59: x server startup is a *lot* faster [04:45] thom: Well, David Zuthen is claiming 40 seconds wallclock from grub to desktop [04:45] thom: usual place [04:45] mjg59: yes, but that was bullshit [04:45] Ah [04:45] Heh [04:46] mjg59: he replaced init with a small shell script that loaded the modules for his machine [04:46] Yeah [04:46] didn't bother with trivial services such as network [04:46] and slammed 193MB into the page cache [04:46] And it starts little else [04:46] But it gives possibilities [04:46] also, not starting the gdm greeter is a pretty big win [04:46] yeah [04:47] gdmgreeter is pretty hellish - it has a stack of stuff that it needs to load [04:47] daniels that is correct but is there no way to start X and then start gnome-session if sound is found or all devices have been detected by hotplug? [04:47] (the other problem with gdmgreeter is that right now, it needs to scale down a 1600x1200 PNG and then overlay another PNG with an alpha channel on top of it) [04:48] (this is not terribly cheap.) [04:48] daniels: You've dropped VBERestore now? [04:48] can't we start the sound-server as part of the boot process? [04:49] mjg59: my graphs are all with vberestore on [04:49] mjg59: i'm getting quite blinding speed without it [04:49] Keybuk: isn't esd per-user? [04:49] daniels: Dude, drop VBErestore [04:49] mjg59: talk to thom [04:49] We can do it in the ACPI path [04:49] thom: DROP VBERESTORE [04:49] thom: (YOU MUPPET) [04:50] thom: (NOT REALLY, BUT IT WAS ENTERTAINING) [04:50] daniels: sure, but it should be per-machine ... different users don't have different soundcards normally :) [04:50] Keybuk: polyp? [04:50] Keybuk: anyway, is there IBM power over there I can steal? [04:50] thom's on battery [04:50] bob2? [04:50] me too ... all 3% of it [04:50] if you can take mdz's plug, you could steal his I guess :p [04:50] his stuff appears to be elsewhere [04:51] Keybuk: who's is that? [04:51] mdz [04:51] ah [04:51] well, mdz volunteers, I guess :) [04:51] thom: ? [04:51] thom: The stuff I hacked up yesterday lets us do the VBE save/restore on our way through suspend/resume, rather than doing it in general [04:52] If it turns out that we still need it in X space, the right thing to do is hack it into the X suspend/resume code rather than do it on every VT switch [04:52] right [04:52] (running my stuff while X is running kills X) [04:53] oh, sweet [04:53] vbestate save >foo [04:54] vbestate restore o === thom goes to try a new reboot [04:56] sans vberestore [04:56] ffoh, I'm on battery too [04:56] ffoh? [04:57] hmm... I wonder why things like ntpdate and mountnfs aren't done in if-up.d [04:57] ff = hitting keys to see if the network is fucked [04:58] Keybuk: Because, uh, erm... [04:59] (because that's not the way things are done, damn it) [04:59] heh [04:59] they are now :p [05:01] bob2: ah === Fwiffo__ [~user@81.19.254.172] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:03] we take 12 seconds to mount and uncompress the initrd [05:04] we so should try with an uncompressed one [05:04] yeah [05:04] i was going to say, maybe it's worth shooting for no compression if it's viable [05:04] thom: just check cramfs options [05:04] that's easy to hack [05:05] hm, so gdmgreeter uses a *lot* of cpu [05:06] i think for us we're probably safe not to bother [05:06] daniels: considered trying a pure SVG theme to avoid the PNG rescale? you'll be trading one complex algorithm for another, but people claim SVG icons are faster than PNG in the scheme of things in gtk [05:06] ber, that run got totally bitten by laptop mode === BradB [~bradb@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:07] rburton: i'm trying something now [05:07] thom: hold up === Todd_MA_1975 [~Todd_MA_1@h000f6632661b.ne.client2.attbi.com] has left #ubuntu-devel [] [05:08] thom: humour me -- replace /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/background.png with .11/~daniels/background.png === rburton wonders if background.png originally had an empty alpha channel [05:09] thom: it's not perfect (positioning is off), but I want to see how much we win by not rescaling and overlaying [05:09] i.e. how much of it is needing to optimise gdmgreeter to hell === oracle [~madduck@madduck.developer.debian] has joined #ubuntu-devel === oracle is now known as madduck [05:12] thom: btw, remove xfonts-base-transcoded if you have it [05:13] daniels: background.png not on .11/~daniels/ [05:14] daniels@catsby:~/public_html% sudo mv background.png /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human [05:14] daniels@catsby:~/public_html% cp /usr/share/gdm/themes/Human/background.png . [05:14] lesson learnt. [05:14] heh :-) [05:14] ok, lets try this again with no laptop-mode [05:15] thom: DOUBLE THE FIST [05:15] using imlib is out of the question? :) (I heard it was very fast for image handling) [05:15] to be fair, raster's tests were written to show up render and make imlib look awesome [05:17] gdkpixbuf shouldn't be way slower than imlib [05:18] thom: .11/~daniels/Human.xml [05:18] thom: and dude, ditch ntpdate === mvo [~egon@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel === shlomil [~shlomi@80.179.66.110.forward.012.net.il] has joined #ubuntu-devel === catdog [~ed@83.216.156.19] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:21] daniels: dude, if you don't ntpdate, your clock might be way off. [05:21] maswan: ntpd [05:22] having ntpdate block sucks [05:22] openntpd++ [05:22] i should package that [05:22] (it's blocking for a good 10-15sec) [05:22] daniels: Is that one less chicken of adjusting the clock multiple hours at startup? [05:22] .. these days [05:22] maswan: huh? [05:22] oh, right [05:22] bootchart-20041209-1721.png [05:23] it won't do multiple hours per default, but I think it could be configured to do so [05:23] does anyone speak danish? [05:23] subverting ntp isn't such a good idea [05:23] that's the classical reason for running ntpdate at boot, because if the hwclock says 1970-01-01 00:00... [05:23] haggai: very, very badly, but I have a phrasebook on my room [05:23] s/on/in/ [05:23] but if ntpd can be fixed to do large adjustments at boot/startup, that's good. [05:24] haggai: it is close enough to swedish for me to usually be able to read it. [05:24] daniels: I'm looking at 2 translations and wondering which one is the most up to date [05:24] "En logind-hndtering er et program, der giver mulighed for grafisk logind " [05:24] is it "En" or "Den" ? [05:24] (at the beginning) [05:24] haggai: i don't have the grammar to tell you, sorry [05:24] "En", most likely. [05:25] hmm, ok I was expecting the other way === haggai looks for another one [05:25] hmm.. yeah, "_A_ login-thingie is _a_ program" [05:25] "A display manager is a program that provides graphical login capabilities " [05:25] was the original [05:25] yeah === lupus_ [~lupus@kn-ivl-2.kuleuven.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [05:26] Please select which display manager should " [05:26] "run by default.""run by default." [05:26] 1. "som udgangspunkt skal kres." [05:26] 2. "skal kres som standard." [05:27] 1 or 2 ? [05:27] i'm gonna look at caching /dev [05:27] ok, so we're looking at around 40 seconds so far [05:27] (that's subtracting ntpdate) [05:27] haggai: Hmm.. That's a hard one, it seems to say about the same thing. [05:28] /dev seems to be a major hit (in the order of 5-7 seconds) [05:28] maswan: ok, thanks [05:28] don't wanna rebuild initrd on battery [05:28] haggai: so the change is probably because one is better danish than the other, and I'm not native enough to tell which. [05:28] maswan: heh :) ok, I'll take the one from KDE CVS not the deb package [05:28] thom: the main problem is the udev device table [05:29] Keybuk: expand? [05:29] maswan: that's the one with the later date, and the En [05:29] haggai: ok, glad I could help [05:29] ntpdate is almost entirely I/O bound, could just be backgrounded without hurting things much at all. [05:29] you know udev has a table in /dev/.udevdb right? :) [05:29] though that should be attarrable === maswan agrees with lamont_r, that's the sensible thing to do with ntpdate [05:29] Keybuk: oh, right. yes [05:30] Keybuk: which font is that from?? === lamont_r gets boxes [05:31] ntpdate is going into if-up.d [05:31] no point doing it until the first device pops its head up [05:31] even better [05:33] anyone at the conference got a Thinkpad T42?

[06:06] seb128: if he will survive, i would suggest to remind him [06:07] ok [06:07] fabbione, and if he doesn't who should I ping ? :p [06:09] seb128: god [06:09] he is the only one one step up elmo [06:09] ;) [06:10] ah ah [06:19] New Global Directory of OpenPGP Keys --> http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/04/12/09/1446203.shtml?tid=93&tid=158 [06:20] http://www.pgp.com/downloads/beta/globaldirectory/index.html === mxpxpod [~forbesbd@mxpxpod.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel [06:22] lamont_r: ping [06:22] seb128, carlos says ping [06:22] oups [06:22] mxpxpod: ack [06:24] lamont_r: ok, I know you got the mount segfault fixed, but my partitions still don't unmount on shutdown because /.dev gets unmounted before everything else [06:24] with 2.21j-2?

[06:56] i think it can live as module and be loaded in the initrd.gz [06:56] and i also remember that we need to some kind of fs module [06:57] to simulate writing [06:57] fabbione: yes, we need it [06:57] but no, we do not need the filesystem module [06:57] only cloop [06:57] it's packaged in Debian and should be quite simple, one file [06:57] mdz: yes i am already looking at the code [06:58] but since one requirement for hoary was to have teh same kernel for live and normal... [06:58] ok.. it will be in in -5 :-) [06:59] fabbione: yes, that is the idea [06:59] if we can get the cloop module in, we can use the same kernel [06:59] we are using a different mechanism to make the filesystem writable [07:00] using device-mapper, which is already there [07:02] mdz: sure i can get it in [07:02] mdz: -4 with the scsi fix is up [07:03] at least the one liner we found [07:03] all the google search didn't report anything else [07:03] the other crap i found this morning was rc2 -> rc3 related and it shouldn't be an issue for us [07:05] bunch new bootcharts up === bronson [~bronson@node-40240852.sjc.onnet.us.uu.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:14] mdz: what was the dm thing you're using for the livecd?

[07:16] it does copy-on-write from one device-mapper target to another [07:16] aha [07:16] very very nice [07:16] *very* nice [07:16] I don't think anyone has used it for a live CD yet [07:16] so shhhhh until I get the prototype out :-) [07:16] :-) [07:17] what must I do to use the ati driver with kernel 2.6.9 ? [07:18] mdz: it came up in discussion of readahead block optimisation [07:18] is just building the source package of the driver enough ?

[07:29] ok [07:29] mirak: and this is a question better asked in #ubuntu, by the way :-) [07:31] thom: and not better answered [07:31] if at all [07:31] mirak: that's as maybe, but this really is not a support channel === jdub [~jdub@213.151.107.243] has joined #ubuntu-devel [07:36] mdz: cloop-utils -> main?

Has GIMP-Python (http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/pygimp/) been considered? [08:15] I'm probably not eligible === ^2046 [blueboy@149.Red-217-126-76.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel [08:16] (of course, yosh has been doing most of the pygimp maintaintenance recently [08:18] daniels: That is so much coolness [08:18] thom: Keybuk: Is there any reason ntpdate can't be backgrounded? [08:18] Is there anything in the init scripts that depends on time being monotonic? [08:19] daniels: ntpd won't step time, it'll just alter the clock speed to get you there gradually. That way, time never goes backwards or jumps too far [08:19] (see what happens to xscreensaver if you ntpdate from inside X) [08:19] heh :) [08:19] Keybuk is working on heavy crack for that [08:20] so we can effectively parallelise it [08:21] Rocking [08:22] jamesh: i wasn't thinking so much about the payment of the bounty; i was wondering if the need leading to the bounty offer is already being met. apparently it's not - so what else is needed? [08:25] moquist_: well, there is the talk of "a common document object model", which is a large project (and not an Ubuntu only one). [08:25] moquist_: I'm not sure what the exact available bounties would be. [08:27] jamesh: re: common DOM - right. it isn't clear from the description whether work is wanted on OO, Abiword, GIMP, etc. individually, or only within the context of developing a common DOM. [08:28] moquist_: have you ever programmed in VB or similar on Windows? [08:28] jamesh: yes, though that was in school. i've been doing C in UNIX for three years since then... [08:29] moquist_: okay. VB is a pretty crappy language, but its power comes from the ability to script pretty much any COM interface available [08:30] moquist_: there were a lot of components provided with the OS, and pretty much every decent sized app provided COM scripting support [08:30] if it isn't clear, I'm looking for an entry-point into Ubuntu dev. i'm not interested so much in a bounty as I am in a defined problem space... [08:31] jamesh: right. so the goal is a common set of interfaces to GIMP, OO, Abi, etc. functionality. [08:32] the idea is to have something similar on Linux desktops, so that people find it worthwhile writing language bindings for the object model, and applications find it worthwhile supporting it. [08:33] (this is a pretty big project, as you can guess) [08:33] yah. [08:34] is there anything in particular that you are interested in? [08:35] jamesh: no, and that's part of my problem. :) [08:35] i have UNIX kernel experience, and general application experience (though not professionally there) [08:37] so far I've been looking over the bounties, because they're [relatively] well-defined areas that I *know* need work. can you help direct me more precisely? [08:38] i looked a bit at the kernel module autoloading problem, but I didn't think that would necessarily be a good jumping-in point. [08:39] I'm not exactly sure what work is covered there. [08:39] so I'm interested in diverse things, and I'm having trouble narrowing my focus. knowing what the strongest needs are would help... [08:40] (sorry - i'm laboring under a *very* slow connection ATM, so I can't respond quickly) And now you're gone, but I'll post this anyway. :-p [08:41] wish I had skills in C [08:42] but alas, back to my communist-russia-inspired designing ;D [08:43] heh === _rene__ [~rene@dsl-082-083-173-223.arcor-ip.net] has joined #ubuntu-devel === winkle [~winkle@lgh3814234.vittran.norrnod.se] has joined #ubuntu-devel === _rene__ is now known as _rene_ [09:56] Working ACPI on a Toshiba with nvidia!
