[12:58] <infinity> BenC: ipw firmware version bump bit you and you're FTBFS.
[01:04] <mjg59> BenC: If you need to reupload, any chance you can add that imacfb patch? :)
[01:04] <mjg59> BenC: (But drop the efivars one)
[01:04] <mjg59> Ooh, cool!
[01:05] <mjg59> On that boot, my framebuffer came out as a tiny strip down the right-hand side of the screen...
[01:06] <mjg59> Whoops. That's because it's cut off the trailing "2" from the width
[01:24] <cjb> mjg59: Any idea who from Canonical is showing up at LinuxWorld in Boston?
[01:26] <mjg59> Nope
[01:26] <cjb> 'kay.
[03:01] <mjg59> BenC: Did I send you the ipw3945 patch?
[03:07] <infinity> BenC: Before uploading again, can you also apply the top two patches from http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/#patches if you haven't already?
[03:07] <infinity> BenC: I suspect the ipw2200 update will be pretty B-R-O-K-E-N without them. :)
[02:59] <zul> sifu?
[03:02] <fabbione> zul: must be the name of the pusher :)
[03:02] <zul> ah...heh :)
[03:03] <fabbione> s(n)if u?
[03:03] <fabbione> BenC: davem had a couple of fixes for us.. if you need to reupload can you please pull from him?
[03:04] <BenC> yeah, I'll be uploading in about 30 minutes
[03:04] <fabbione> cool
[03:54] <doko> BenC: does this upload include the hd-powerdown fix? ;-)
[03:55] <BenC> no :)
[03:56] <BenC> It's a bit complicated, but it will get done
[03:56] <BenC> just want to make sure I don't break anything
[04:48] <mjg59> BenC: Thanks for getting that patch in
[04:48] <BenC> np
[04:49] <mjg59> BenC: Need to sort out ipw3945 at some stage
[04:49] <BenC> yeah, I'm hoping to have that in for next upload
[04:49] <BenC> need to do the lrm parts aswell
[04:50] <mjg59> Adam's happy enough with that, I think
[05:08] <mxpxpod> mjg59: are you working on pmi?
[05:09] <mjg59> On pmi? Not really.
[05:09] <mjg59> Why?
[05:09] <mxpxpod> mjg59: well, I just noticed they took the pbbuttonsd dependency out of it, which kind of messes some things up
[05:10] <mxpxpod> like if you have the trackpad set to notap, when you come back from a sleep, it's back to tap
[05:10] <mjg59> Oh, right. That needs to be special-cased.
[05:10] <mjg59> Ideally in the kernel, but, well
[05:10] <mxpxpod> and none of the pbbuttonsd scripts get called anymore either
[05:10] <mjg59> No, they shouldn't
[05:11] <mjg59> Some stuff needs fixing up to be generic, but pbbuttonsd is basically superceded now
[05:11] <mxpxpod> ok
[05:11] <mxpxpod> is ubuntu going to get a way to set powersave mode?
[05:11] <mxpxpod> because I had that set up in my pbbuttonsd scripts
[05:12] <mjg59> What precisely is powersave mode?
[05:13] <mxpxpod> mjg59: I had it set up to use the powersave governor when my laptop was on battery
[05:13] <mxpxpod> it extended the time of my battery about a half hour to an hour depending on what I was doing
[05:13] <mjg59> mxpxpod: Uhm. But only by increasing the time it took to do anything, right?
[05:13] <mxpxpod> not really
[05:14] <mjg59> Our cpufreq setup will run the CPU at the lowest speed unless load increases
[05:14] <mxpxpod> is powernowd still required?
[05:14] <mjg59> Yes
[05:14] <mxpxpod> and does cpufreq compliment that?
[05:14] <mjg59> cpufreq is the kernel side of that
[05:16] <mxpxpod> oh, another question... is gnome going to get the ability to set the brightness of a ppc machine?
[05:16] <mxpxpod> lcd brightness, that is
[05:16] <mjg59> That should already work with g-p-m
[05:16] <mjg59> If it doesn't, then we need to fix hal
[05:16] <mxpxpod> right, but if I use the brightness up/down buttons, I don't get a little dialog
[05:16] <mjg59> Yeah, it would be good if we had that
[05:17] <mxpxpod> because I think that's the last thing that relies on pbbuttonsd
[05:17] <mjg59> Should be easy enough to add to g-p-m or gnome-settings-daemon
[05:17] <mxpxpod> mjg59: I think it's actually patched out
[05:17] <mjg59> It's just the dialog that's missing, the brightness changes happily?
[05:17] <mxpxpod> yeah, the brightness changes thru pbbuttonsd
[05:17] <mjg59> But we don't have pbbuttonsd now
[05:17] <mxpxpod> it's still required by ubuntu-desktop
[05:18] <mxpxpod> at least as of last night
[05:18] <mjg59> Ah. Could you file a bug on that?
[05:18] <mjg59> I'm fairly sure that's wrong
[05:18] <mxpxpod> yeah, in a couple of hours...
[05:19] <mxpxpod> mjg59: ok... also, when you come back from sleep, the sound is muted as well
[05:19] <mxpxpod> mjg59: oh, and regarding powersave... it would be nice if g-p-m had a choice of whether to use full processor strength on battery or not
[05:24] <mjg59> mxpxpod: I'm still not sure why that gives any real benefits
[05:24] <mjg59> But yeah, I can sort of understand
[05:43] <makx> hmm no new initramfs-tools on packages.u.c
[06:23] <zul> so uh...when are we going to have 2.6.16 in dapper..:)
[06:25] <fabbione> zul: i am not sure you want .16 in dapper
[06:25] <fabbione> too much new stuff..
[06:25] <fabbione> it will take at least .17 and .18 to stabilize
[06:25] <zul> yeah i was just joking
[06:25] <fabbione> yeah but i had the same idea :)
[06:25] <fabbione> just uplaod .16 with .15 name
[07:04] <BenC> sweet, ibm is going to include our three -server kernels in the ABAT system
[07:06] <zul> abat?
[07:10] <cjb> Dude, everyone knows about the Accelerated Badger and Tortoise system.
[07:12] <BenC> Automated Build And Testing
[07:12] <BenC> they'll test build our kernels, boot them and run some test suites (stress and LTP for now)
[07:13] <BenC> hoping to get the results sent to kernel-team@l.u.c
[07:23] <BenC> hehe, I didn't really want to take over moderation :)
[07:23] <lamont> heh
[07:23] <lamont> if you send me the passwd again, I'll moderate some more
[07:25] <BenC> I don't know the password
[07:25] <BenC> or did you send it to me?
[07:25] <BenC> if so, I can take it over (no problem for me)
[07:36] <lamont> the one I thought it was, it isn't...  so now I have to figure out what's going on...
[07:36] <lamont> gimme some time
[07:36] <BenC> ok
[07:38] <lamont> sigh... firefox over ssh... I wish I knew how to remotely dump the saved passwords
[07:39] <BenC> I forget how I did that the last time
[07:40] <lamont> well, firing up firefox and clicking buttons works.. it just hurts
[07:45] <lamont> BenC: do you know what address the mail will be coming from?
[07:46] <BenC> *.ibm.com is all I know
[09:04] <zul> hmmm...ok...apparently ubuntu has 25% of linux desktop market
[09:04] <zul> according to this article
[09:04] <zul> http://lxer.lxer.com/lxer/story/56437/index.html
[09:11] <cjb> What does distrowatch say?
[09:14] <zul> heh...i dont pay attention to distrowatch ;)
