[03:44] <anonc2> hi all - any chance of adding the cassini driver to the ubuntu sparc64 netboot image/kernel?
[03:45] <fabbione> anonc2: yes. file a bug in launchpad explaining what and why
[03:57] <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
[04:00] <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
[04:01] <anonc2> fabbione: very kind of you. sorry for my unfamiliarity with the proper procedure. bug# 52234
[04:02] <fabbione> the driver is enabled.. hmm
[04:03] <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?
[04:04] <fabbione> it's easy to fix
[04:04] <fabbione> there is a module, but it's missing from the initrd
[04:07] <anonc2> which release stream are you working on? breezy? edgy?
[04:07] <fabbione> dapper and edgy
[04:09] <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
[04:10] <fabbione> but it will take the time it takes to propagate in the system
[04:11] <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.
[04:12] <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
[04:13] <anonc2> fabbione: no problem - this is not an urgent issue.
[04:13] <fabbione> anonc2: in theory you can isntall from CD without problems
[04:14] <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
[04:15] <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?
[04:16] <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
[04:17] <fabbione> yes that's about right
[04:17] <anonc2> congratulations.
[04:17] <fabbione> thanks
[04:21] <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.
[04:44] <tmarble> where would I find the edgy netboot image(s)?
[06:05] <fabbione> anonc2: thanks.
[06:05] <fabbione> tmarble: yeah known story
[06:06] <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?
[06:08] <fabbione> basically yes
[06:08] <tmarble> ok
[10:30] <Brad_> congrats fabbione.
