jbaileyg'm all01:39
fabbionehey jbailey 01:40
JaneWhi jbailey01:40
fabbionewe found the sparc kernel problem!01:41
fabbionelook at your inbox ;)01:41
jbaileyNice catch.  That's... not where I would've expected the problem to be. =)01:42
jbaileyJaneW: Doing some kernel hacking today? =)01:46
JaneWjbailey: yeah ;)01:48
jbaileyExcellent!01:48

JaneWheh01:52
fabbionejbailey: i think i started tickling BenC again :)01:55
fabbionethis time it was him searching for me ;)01:55
jbaileyCool.01:55
jbaileyI'm trying to figure out if I'm brave enough to ask him for decent sparc hardware.01:55
jbaileyHe mentioned before he knew some people at sun who might sponsor such things.01:55
fabbionejust do it01:56
fabbioneif so ask for me too :)01:56
fabbioneor i can ask for both of us01:56
fabbione(he is idle now)01:56
jbaileySure. =)01:56
jbaileyOy, Fabio.  Is 2.6.13 goes gold in the next week, are you bumping, or are you sticking with 2.6.12 for sure?02:07
fabbionewe still have a few days for UVF02:10
fabbionebut i doubt it will go gold that fast02:10
fabbionei saw too many patches going in -git for .13 to be gold in less than a month02:11

jbaileyHmm, getting the new udev in before UVF will be fun.  *sigh*02:15
jbaileyHeya Chuck.02:16
zulHey Jeff how goes it?02:16
jbaileyI'm doing very well.02:17
zulgood02:18
jbaileyEt tu?02:18
zulgood...kind of hot though02:18
jbaileyYeah, I suspect we'll need to add A/C to our list of appliances to buy in Montral.02:19
jbaileyThis move is getting expensive.02:19
zulhehe..02:19
jbaileyWhat's it like in the big O?02:19
zulthe stadium? never been there..;)02:20
zulright now...since its canada day tomorrow its pretty quiet02:20
jbaileyI should get to Ottawa for Canada day one time.  Maybe next year.02:21
jbaileyI imagine the train from Montral to Ottawa should be cheap.02:21
zultomorrow downtown its going to be crazy so most naturalized residents avoid it :)02:21
jbaileyA wild outgoing guy like you?  I'd have expected to see you swinging naked from the trees...02:22
=== jbailey hides.
zulhmmm...yeah...bastard02:23
zuli done all the wild stuff when i was a kid02:23
fabbionehey zul02:25
zulhey fabbione 02:26
zulgrrr02:28
zulhmmm...gentoo has a speakup patch for 2.6.1202:33
=== TheMuso must check out CVS.
TheMusoI believe someone at Gentoo was helping the primary author of Speakup work on it.02:34
zulyeah he was02:34
TheMusoLast I checked, the new code wasn't in CVS yet.02:36
TheMusoAnd it looks like CVS access is down atm.02:36
TheMusoArgh. Stuff that.02:37
=== TheMuso goes hunting for the speakup patch in his local Gentoo Portage mirror.
TheMusos/local/nearest/02:38
TheMusozul: Where did you find it?02:41
zuldev.gentoo.org/~dsd02:41
TheMusoTah.02:41
=== TheMuso seems to be going round in circles.
TheMusozul: Have you tried it yet?02:52
zulnope...going to try this weekend when im not working02:53
TheMusoFair enough. Downloading vanilla kernel now to see if they patch against it. Then I will try a breezy kernel.02:54
TheMusoBTW I have written a modules file to go in the d-i/$arch subdirs for creating a speakup-modules udeb if you are interested.02:54
jbaileyfabbione: Did Ben ever reply?03:08
jbaileyOr did my name sink it into a black hole? =)03:08
fabbionejbailey: the latter...03:12

dilingeralways has, always will04:12
jbaileyANyone object if my summer of code student does his firewall work in this channel?04:17
chmjfirewall work ?04:23
jbaileyYeah, he's tackling the firewall bounty.04:30
jbaileyI find ubuntu-devel too noisy to get much done in, so if the kernel folks here find it relevent enough, I'd like him to work in here.04:30
chmjI don't object :)04:31
Mithrandircan we throw mentos at him (or her)?04:34
jbailey(or trans)04:36
jbaileyI assume so.04:36
jbaileyWouldn't it be discrimination not to?04:36
jbaileyI was told to make the student feel part of the community. =)04:36
Mithrandiryay!04:38
=== Mithrandir loads up a big mentos cluster
jbailey(s)he*'s in .de, so you won't even have to correct that much for accurate use of a trebuchet.04:40
chmjhehehe04:45
zuli prefer cricket bats04:53
zulanyone know of a good oog vorbis player?04:55
jbaileyxmms?04:56
zulit can do oog?04:57
dilingeroog?04:57
dilingeryou mean ogg?04:57
zulyeah04:57
zulphp is blowing my brain04:58
jbaileyYes, xmms does ogg04:58
dilingeryou might find better results if you apt-cache search for ogg instead of oog :P04:58
zul:P04:58
dilingerxmms, totem, xine, gstreamer, muine, rhythmbox..04:58
zulim on suse04:58
Mithrandiryou might want to switch the type of crack you're smoking too, since it appears to affect your brain so much.04:58
dilingeri'd recommend anything gst or xine based04:58
=== jbailey wishes gst would either work or die.
jbaileyThis half baked state on !i386 just kills me. 04:59
MithrandirI wish concordia had a -fullturbo switch.05:00
dilingerjbailey: you should start hacking it for !i38605:03
dilingerwhen i had my tibook, i used to fix endian issues in gst05:04
dilingerbut now i don't have any !i386 desktop hardware05:04
dilingerif only someone would send me some ppc64 stuff..05:04
=== dilinger coughs
Mithrandiramd64s are cheap05:04
dilingerMithrandir: i suppose05:05
jbaileyMithrandir: They're still ~500CAD05:05
Mithrandirjbailey: I just love it when people throw their random currency-of-the-day at me.  :P05:05
Mithrandirwhat's that in some sensible currency?05:06
jbaileyAbout the same as AUD. =)05:06
jbaileyA little higher than the number would be in EUR, about twice would it would be in GBP05:06
Mithrandirfor a full system?05:07
=== dilinger showers Mithrandir with sucres
Mithrandirheh05:07
MithrandirI wish the dualcores would become a tad less expensive.05:07
jbaileyNo, that's for mobo, cpu and ram.05:08
=== jbailey shuts down for a scheduled power outage.
Mithrandirit's more like 350-ish AUD here.05:11

jbaileyfabbione: I need to figure out which modules to load into the initrd.09:36
jbaileyerr, initramfs09:37
jbaileythe best heuristic that I've seen so far gives me 30 megs of modules, which seems a bit excessive.09:37
fabbioneeh?09:37
jbaileyDo you have a recommendation?  Should I just make a list of the modules that are there in 2.6.12 and add more if people bitch that some are missing?09:37
fabbionejbailey: can you send me this list so we can look at it together?09:38
fabbioneadding 13MB of modules is like adding all the kernel or almost09:38
jbaileyThe kernel includes 67 megs of modules.09:40
fabbionebrb... i need a nature break and we can look at it :)09:41
=== Seveaz [~seveas@seveas.demon.nl] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
fabbionere09:47
jbaileyShould I /msg you the list of the directories I'm copying now, or paste it here for general consumption?09:49
fabbionejbailey: past in here the main dirs..09:50
fabbioneno need of the single module detail09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/net09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/scsi09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/ide09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/md09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/usb09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/block09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/drivers/input09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/fs/ext209:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/fs/ext309:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/fs/isofs09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/fs/jbd09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/fs/jfs09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/fs/nfs09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/fs/reiserfs09:50
jbailey        copy_modules_dir kernel/fs/xfs09:50
jbaileyBecause that doesn't catch all of the dependancies, I then do a further check to make sure I get all the dependancies of the following modules:09:51
jbailey        for x in mbcache nfs af_packet raid1 ide-cd ide-disk ide-generic; do09:51
fabbionembcache is used only by ext2/ext309:54
zulmeh...i think im going to knock off early today09:54
jbaileyzul: slacker.09:54
zulshut it09:55
zullater09:55
=== jbailey ties zul down so that his 'it' can be shut..
jbaileyDoh, missed him.09:55
jbaileyfabbione: What I'm wondering is if the whole lot of it should be a list of drivers that get included by default in the initramfs rather than this method.09:55
jbaileyThis brings in all the ARCnet crap, slip, etc, etc...09:56
jbaileyJust piles of stuff that I"m failure convinced aren't needed.09:56
fabbioneyes.. we need a more fine graned list09:56
jbaileyShall I make a wiki page with a list that we can prune down or add to?09:56
fabbioneand we can look at kernel-wedge algo to calculate dependencies and pull in modules as required09:56
fabbionejbailey: iirc you asked me to create the initramfs directly from the kernel package09:57
fabbionei suggest we start to work out directly how to do it and add the list in baz09:57
jbaileyYup, I'd like that eventually.09:58
jbaileyFor now I thought we could start the list here since I already have module deps taken care of.09:58
jbaileyTHen transfer the magic over to the kernel.09:58
jbaileyMy package has the nice side effect so far that it's not in heavy use.09:58
fabbionewell let's do it directly into the kernel.. there is only a month or so for feature freeze09:59
fabbioneand these kind of changes are expensive to do09:59
fabbionejbailey: just remember to set your umask properly on rookery if you commit to baz directly :)10:00
fabbione(and i don't mind you to do so)10:01
