tuxmaniachey guys! If I download the latest 2.6.16.16 from kernel.org and compile and install it on Ubuntu Dapper I know it will work07:35
tuxmaniacbut we will miss out on the Ubuntu patches right?07:35
tuxmaniacSo what will be the end effect if one installs a latest vanilla kernel on Dapper?07:35
crimsuntuxmaniac: "know it will work"?07:39
crimsuntuxmaniac: as in you've tested it, and the udev<->kernel interaction works identically?07:39
tuxmaniacno07:40
tuxmaniaccrimsun: There are some problems?07:40
tuxmaniacthere are some problems!07:40
tuxmaniacBut is there no way to install the latest kernel from kernel.org07:41
tuxmaniacI did install 2.6.16 on Brezy and it pretty much worked fine except for my synaptic touchpad scroll feature07:41
crimsunyou can, but there's no guarantee everything will work. The udev<->kernel interaction I mentioned is just one issue.07:41
tuxmaniachmmm.. so the latest on Ubuntu Dapper is 2.6.15-23 but the topic says -22 !?07:42
=== ..[topic/#ubuntu-kernel:crimsun] : Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | Kernel GIT tree info (updated): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide | 2.6.15-23.35 uploaded (May your computer boot happily)
=== tuxmaniac thanks crimsun
tuxmaniaccrimsun: I want to ask one more standard question. am very much interested in working with the kernel team. How do I start? Submit patches to bugs or how?07:45
crimsunthat's an excellent way.07:50
=== tuxmaniac finds helluva lot of CONFIG variables missing when comared to the 2.6.15- found on Dapper and that off 2.6.16
crimsunwell yes, there are rather gigantic differences07:56
