minghuamy 2.6.15-6.8 kernel finally boots (although with PCMCIA failure), thank you guys for the hard work!06:22
dilingerthe lustre people are no longer making the free software community wait 6-12 months for a gpl'd lustre07:36
dilingerthe latest release is gpl'd and available to everyone07:36
=== dilinger may need to package that up for debian and ubuntu
fabbionehmmm07:38
fabbioneimpressive07:38
fabbioneagainst what kernel did they released now?07:38
fabbione2.4.1 ?07:38
fabbione;)07:38
dilingerthey claim to support 2.607:41
fabbionelast i checked it was 2.6.807:42
fabbioneand the patches are a real mess07:42
fabbionebut if you can come up with a decent solution we can for sure look at it07:42

jbaileyBenC: More interesting randomness on the ppc64.  When a screensaver kicks in, it also hangs X and (it seems) every application running in it).01:57
jbaileyThe apps seems to work well enough that they still run (so my IRC session stayed live), however, all the timestamps in x-chat all say 7:54, when I unfroze it.01:58
jbaileyTo unfreeze, all I had to do was kill the screensaver.01:58
jbaileyMmm, no.  The applications really are locked.  OFTC does an irc ping, and it lost its connection.  Freenode doesn't seem to, and it stayed live.02:00
jbaileySo I'm guessing kernel TCP handling works, applications just buffer.02:00
BenCjbailey: I've experienced that with my G4, even on breezy, especially GL screen savers02:20
jbaileyInteresting.02:20
jbaileyIt's new here for me.02:20
jbaileyAre you using hardware accelleration on your G4?02:20
jbaileyIt's not supported on this video card.02:20
BenCstock install, so whatever it decided to activate02:21
BenCthe GL is really slow, so I don't think it has any accel02:22
infinityIt won't.02:22
zulmorning02:22
BenChey zul02:23
infinityWell, if it's a really old ATI (Radeon 9000ish), it will have a bit of accel, but not enough make you care or go "wow".02:23
fabbionehey BenC 02:24
fabbione6.8 is in the archive02:24
jbaileyfabbione: Wow, glibc, kernel.  All you need is X and you're playing with the big kids again..02:25
=== jbailey hides
jbailey=)02:25
BenCyo fabbione02:26
BenCit's a Rage 128 Pro02:26
BenCso it's even older :)02:26
infinityI don't think we have accel on Rage128, but I can't be positive.02:26
infinityPretty sure not, though.02:27
fabbionejbailey: i am choaking gcc-3.4 and 4.0 now.. it will take a while to get there02:27
infinity(3D, that is, we have plenty of 2D accel on the whole 64/128 family)02:27
infinityfabbione : Did you NFU LRM again, or is it just down in the queue?02:27
fabbioneinfinity: no, it's in the queue.. it took a while to get the binaries NEW'ed for the b-d02:28
infinityAhh, right.02:28
BenCso lrm/linux-meta/udev is all good now, right?02:28
infinityFor everything but sparc and hppa, yes.02:29
infinityOf course, you'll break it with your next upload again, Captain ABI-bump-on-every-upload.02:29
infinity(We're going to ship dapper with 2.6.15-37 or something, aren't we?) :)02:30
jbaileyRH does.02:33
jbaileyWe're just catching up with them. =)02:33
BenCyes we are :)02:33
BenCactually, I was hoping to pull in all the abi's this time and start actually checking for when we need an abi bump02:33
BenCbut I accidentally disabled the script that copies the ABI's into the .deb's02:34
fabbioneLOl02:34
=== fabbione scratches BenC's head with a spoon
BenCI even wrote a nice little script to download all the abi's and put them into the git tree, but it kept saying "NO ABI FILE"02:34
=== infinity claps.
=== BenC takes a bow
infinitySo, who feels like some online poker?02:37
fabbionehmmm02:37
BenCooh ooh, I do, I do :)02:37
fabbionenot a bad idea :)02:37
fabbioneBenC: is your client/server ready for testing?02:37
infinityfabbione : Good, play with BenC, it'll make him feel better. :)02:37
fabbioneinfinity: ahahah like if i don't know Ben is a player02:37
BenCfabbione: I stopped working on it when I started with canonical02:37
BenCI still have all the code, maybe one day I'll finish it02:38
fabbionemake it a kernel network protocol02:38
fabbionepoker.ko02:38
BenCmodprobe texas-holdem02:38
fabbioneehehe02:38
infinityOh, it's still Friday for you guys, I should stop being offtopic.02:40
=== infinity gets out of weekend mode for the greater good.
BenClol, yeah, I just work up :)02:40
BenCwoke up02:40
BenCand haven't had any coffee yet, as if my typing isn't a good sign of that02:40
=== BenC is finally upgrading all his machines to dapper
jbaileyI wanted my brother-in-law play texas-holdem online at pokerroom.com for for like 8 days.02:41
jbaileyIt's how he wanted to spend his vacation time in Montral.02:41
fabbioneinfinity: you know... i have already done 7 hours today.. i could stop just 40 minutes ago02:41
jbaileyfabbione: You get 6 hour days under .dk law, too?02:41
fabbione702:41
fabbionei started at 602:41
jbaileyBastard.02:42
fabbione6 + 7 = 1302:42
fabbioneit's 14:4002:42
fabbioneconsidering i did jerk a bit around + lunch..02:42
fabbionei am done02:42
infinity.dk law allows you to "jerk around" at work?02:42
infinityI'm moving.02:42
fabbioneinfinity: no.. that's why it's 8:40 that i am around02:42
BenCjbailey: while unemplyed, I turned $100 into $9400 in 8 days on doylesroom.com02:42
BenCtoo $9000 out and lost the $400 playing tournaments02:43
infinity(And the lost it a week later)02:43
infinitys/the/then/02:43
BenC...and then put the $9000 back in and lost it, yes :P02:43
BenChaven't taken the time to play high stakes like that again02:45
jbailey*lol*02:45
jbaileyI so wanted to convince him to stay for the conference.  I was pretty certain there'd be poker players there.02:45
=== BenC has a trip planned for Atlantic City in February for the World Series of Poker Circuit events
jbaileyHe never found a poker room here in Montral.02:45
infinityBenC : Planning on being on TV?02:46
BenCjbailey: me either, I went to Casino De Montreal, and they had nothing02:46
BenCinfinity: I'm only playing the $500 tournament, but if I can win enough there, I will play the televised $10,000 tournament02:46
zulBenC: the nearest legal poker rooms you are going to find are in cornwall02:47
jbaileyIs the $500 tourney prize a free invite to the higher level one?02:47
BenClast $500 tournament I played back in August, there were 1180 people, and I lasted for 12.5 hours and went out 97th02:47
jbaileyzul: Is poken Illegal in Montral?02:47
zuli dont think so...but the casinos are government run 02:47
BenCjbailey: $500, first place is usually like $75,000 - $200,000 depending on how many people sign up02:47
zuland its like a franchise ;)02:47
BenCI was told they weren't legal in MOntreal _yet_02:48
BenCpoker that is02:48
BenCwhich is odd, because all the games that are legal in the casinos are just gambling, poker atleast has some skill involved02:48
jbaileyRight.02:49
jbaileyThey have video slot terminals here.02:49
jbaileyWhat gets worse than that?02:49
zulits legal in cornwall apparently ;)02:50
BenCI saw a thing on discovery about how terrible the RNG's are in those computerized slots02:50
BenCa guy that worked for the gamin commission figured out how to get 33-1 odds to win kino (which is like the lottery)02:50
jbaileyKino is that thing where the numbers just appear on the board.02:52
jbaileyLike a Lotto game every 6 minutes?02:52
BenCyeah02:52
jbaileyI played that for an hour once.02:52
BenCbut they don't use balls, just a computer02:52
jbaileyA byunch of coworkers and I went.02:52
jbaileySure, they have terminals all over in Vancouver.02:52
jbaileyThey're all centrally done, so like any corner store will have them.02:52
BenCcrazy02:53
jbaileyWe were bored, it was wet out, had $20 burning a hole in my pocket, so we decided to go burn it. =)02:53
BenCand burned it you did, I bet :)02:53
jbaileyYup!02:53
jbaileyBut that's how I always gamble.02:53
jbaileyI start out with an amount of money I want to lose.02:53
jbaileyAnd then I play until it's gone.02:53
jbaileyI'm not generally satisfied if I walk out of the casino with it in hand.02:54
jbaileyIt also means that I never have thoughts of "one more pull", or anything like that.02:54
jbaileyIf I have the money, of *course* it's one more pull.02:54
jbaileyIf I had gone out to a bar or a movie or whatever, I wouldn't have any left, so sitting around a blackjack table with friends is just another night out.02:55
BenCyeah, that's a good way to look at it02:56

zulthey had slot machines at the hotel in montreal03:00
jbaileySlot machines aren't social.03:03
jbaileyThat's why the kino was at least fun.  We all sat around the machine picking numbers and talking about probability distributions, stats and game theory.03:03

jbaileyBenC: Mmm..  What do you define as a server?06:02
jbaileyBenC: I know of a number of places that use laptops for their servers.06:03
jbaileygives the nice advantage that you can take it home at the end of the day and there's no risk of it getting stolen.06:03
BenCjbailey: servers being things that you install and never move again :)06:03
BenClike NUMA systems and such, 8-way xeon, 32GIgs ram, etc.06:04
jbaileyAlso, it's not unreasonable to start thinking of just doing wireless on the whole network.  USB wireless is better than PCI wireless because you can move the antenna around.06:04
jbaileyHmm.06:04
=== CataEnry [n=Enrico@host204-30.pool8248.interbusiness.it] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
jbaileyWe should be clear that server doesn't mean "file server" or "print server", then.06:04
CataEnryhi :)06:04
BenCI'm talking about servers where you generally have GigE to the data warehouse for your content management system06:04
BenCjbailey: this kernel probably wont boot on a P4, because of the kernel config it is using06:05
jbaileyRight, but SMEs still have things that they call servers.  We need to make sure that they don't install the server edition then.06:05
BenCthis kernel is mainly going to be for our server certification program, where we are supporting known macines from known vendors06:06
jbaileySure.  But we shouldn't call it our server release.06:06
jbaileyIt should be high end computing or something like that.06:06
BenCwell, I'm using the names in the specs :)06:06
jbaileyWhich spec?06:07
BenC...06:07
jbaileyI just want to make sure that we don't forget that there's a whole class of SME folks who need to be functional and may install these if they look tempting.06:07
