| anonc2 | hi all - any chance of adding the cassini driver to the ubuntu sparc64 netboot image/kernel? | 03:44 |
|---|---|---|
| fabbione | anonc2: yes. file a bug in launchpad explaining what and why | 03:45 |
| anonc2 | fabbione: for the 'which package has the bug' field, does the netboot image belong to a package? eg installer-sparc? | 03:57 |
| fabbione | anonc2: assign the bug to me, i will take care to assign it to the proper package | 03:57 |
| anonc2 | fabbione: bug submitted - looking for how to assign it now | 04:00 |
| fabbione | anonc2: give me the bug num | 04:00 |
| fabbione | i can take care of the rest | 04:00 |
| anonc2 | fabbione: very kind of you. sorry for my unfamiliarity with the proper procedure. bug# 52234 | 04:01 |
| fabbione | the driver is enabled.. hmm | 04:02 |
| anonc2 | hmm - i dropped to a shell and didn't find it in the network driver modules directory | 04:03 |
| fabbione | ok i found the issue | 04:03 |
| anonc2 | is it a module or compiled in? | 04:03 |
| fabbione | it's easy to fix | 04:04 |
| fabbione | there is a module, but it's missing from the initrd | 04:04 |
| anonc2 | which release stream are you working on? breezy? edgy? | 04:07 |
| fabbione | dapper and edgy | 04:07 |
| fabbione | anonc2: basically the cassini driver is missing from a file called nic-modules....udeb | 04:09 |
| fabbione | once i add that file (one line change) it will be part of the installer | 04:09 |
| fabbione | but it will take the time it takes to propagate in the system | 04:10 |
| anonc2 | fabbione: ah - excellent. Presumably I can tell by the modification date of the boot.img file on the server as to whether it has been updated. | 04:11 |
| fabbione | anonc2: as soon as the new kernel is in the archive, i can build a new unofficial netboot image. Not before | 04:12 |
| fabbione | the kernel upload is not up to me | 04:12 |
| anonc2 | fabbione: no problem - this is not an urgent issue. | 04:13 |
| fabbione | anonc2: in theory you can isntall from CD without problems | 04:13 |
| anonc2 | fabbione: this is a blade server (computer on a card) which has no capability of attaching a cdrom to it | 04:14 |
| fabbione | ah ok | 04:14 |
| fabbione | sure no big deal | 04:14 |
| fabbione | as soon as the kernel is in the archive i can build a custom netboot image | 04:15 |
| fabbione | not before | 04:15 |
| fabbione | otherwise it will be a royal pain to make it going | 04:15 |
| anonc2 | will you mention the location of the custom image in the launchpad job? | 04:15 |
| fabbione | anonc2: no, you will need to ping me when Ben closes the bug and upload the kenrel | 04:16 |
| anonc2 | ah ok - i shall find you on this channel presumably | 04:16 |
| fabbione | anonc2: i am about to go in paternity leave and i am not sure i will be able to track everything | 04:16 |
| fabbione | yes that's about right | 04:17 |
| anonc2 | congratulations. | 04:17 |
| fabbione | thanks | 04:17 |
| tmarble | fabbione: new baby, traded-in the sports car, no sleep -- you'll find it's awesome! | 04:21 |
| anonc2 | fabbione: many thanks for your assistance. have to catch a bus now. good luck with the bub. | 04:21 |
| tmarble | where would I find the edgy netboot image(s)? | 04:44 |
| fabbione | anonc2: thanks. | 06:05 |
| fabbione | tmarble: yeah known story | 06:05 |
| fabbione | tmarble: none are available yet (edgy) | 06:06 |
| tmarble | ah, ok... would one start with a dapper install and then set sources.list to edgy archives? | 06:06 |
| fabbione | basically yes | 06:08 |
| tmarble | ok | 06:08 |
| Brad_ | congrats fabbione. | 10:30 |
