BenCmjg59: depends on where you are talking about12:16
mjg59BenC: Random driver patches12:16
mjg59Like the aforementioned quiesce-ipw220012:16
BenCmjg59: most everything got forward ported, except all of sound, and anything that didn't patch cleanly12:16
mjg59BenC: Have you got a list of the ones that didn't apply?12:16
BenCI already took care of the ones I know about12:17
mjg59Ok12:17
BenCipw2200 probably just got clobbered because I updated it and again, forgot about cherry-picking the quiesce patch12:17
mjg59Ok12:17
BenCcherry picked now12:20
mjg59Ta12:21
mjg59Hm.12:27
mjg59Shouldn't the kernelteam wiki page suggest using git:// rather than rsync:// ?12:27
mjg59BenC: Hm. There's a patch missing from the sdhci driver as well.12:40
mjg59(I was actually going to ask you to drop it, but still :) )12:40

zulBenC: ping04:48
zulhttp://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/linux-2.6.tip-xen.hg merc tree based off of 2.6.18 lets see how crazy i can be04:49
BenCplease don't do a 2.6.18 xen...then ppl will start complaining "if we can have a 2.6.18 xen, why can't we have a normal kernel that's 2.6.18"04:52
BenC:)04:52
zulnah...im going to try to extract 2.6.1704:53
BenCthere should be a way to get all the xen patches that aren't in linux-2.6 HEAD, and cherry-pick them to 2.6.17.y branch04:54
zulthats what im trying to find out04:54
BenC#git on OFTC might be helpful on how to do that04:55

scottevilhello, I have a question I'd like to ask that people in #ubuntu don't seem to know05:30
scottevilI have hardware RAID, need to load a custom built module with the livecd to install ubuntu05:31
scottevilhave vmware set up, built kernel module, but it is built with 2.6.15.7-ubuntu105:31
scottevilwhere livecd (even latest daily) is 2.6.15-2605:31
scotteviland says struct kernel_module does not agree, so it will not load05:32
scottevilhow do I get ahold of 2.6.15-26 kernel to build the proprietary module?05:32
crimsunyou need linux-headers-2.6.15-26-$arch05:32
scottevilI am not completely new to ubuntu, but havent tried to do anything difficult yet05:33
scottevilcan I apt-get that somehow?05:33
crimsunyes05:34
scottevilsudo apt-get linux-headers-2.6.15-26-386?05:34
crimsunapt-get install05:34
scottevilsudo apt-get install ....05:35
scottevil?05:35
crimsunlinux-headers-2.6.15-26-386  if you want $arch to be 38605:35
crimsunreally, this is a #ubuntu question.05:35
scottevilI know I know, but I've been lurking there for a couple of days05:35
scottevilprobably more of an ubuntuforums.org question actually :)05:36
scottevilone other question is, why linux-headers and not kernel-source?  I do have to build a kernel to build the module...05:37
crimsunbecause you compile external kernel modules against linux-headers, not linux-source05:38
scottevilahh, interesting.  I wrote a kernel module as part of my job and didnt know that (very limited time to develop)05:39
scottevilwill try that, thanks.05:40

jbaileyzul: hmm?04:02
zuli dont wanna work today04:03
zulhey jeff btw04:06
ajmitchhello jeff04:06
jbaileyzul: Nor do I, but largely because on Thursday I'm not working for a short period of time04:09
jbaileyAnd it's always hard to keep from going into vacation mode early. =)04:09
jbaileyHi andrew04:09
zuljbailey: yeah but im not suppose to be at work today and the wifey is freaking out again04:11
jbaileyAbout you working?04:11
jbaileyOffer to stop. ;)04:11
zulyeah well i have tomorrow off and taking thursday off04:12
mjg59Hm.04:22
mjg59We don't seem to have many acpi patches.04:22
mjg59Should probably be rectified...04:23
jbaileymjg59: What, your Ph.D leaving you too much spare time again? ;)04:26
mjg59Haha04:26
mjg59Actually, today, yes04:27

Keybukso, if one steals the console from X, it gets upset07:11
=== Keybuk didn't realise X held /dev/console
jbaileyKeybuk: More usplash playing? =)07:35
jbaileyKeybuk: I noticed that until yesterday, I had to hit alt-f1 to get X to start.07:35
jbaileywhatever did you guys do to the fonts, btw? =)07:35
jbaileyAnd NM seems to work better now. =)07:35
mjg59jbailey: I fixed that07:35
mjg59Which fonts?07:36
jbaileyIn the little usplash box.07:36
mjg59usplash-with-svgalib uses a different font to usplash-with-bogl07:36
jbaileyThey now remind me of a hercules graphics card.07:36
jbaileyAh, I hadn't noticed that it'd changed from bogl.07:36
mjg59That's how it can run in different resolutions now07:36
jbaileyHandy!07:36
jbaileyIs svgalib actually cross platofrm, or is this just a hack for the most popular arches?07:37
Keybukmjg59: interestingly, the svgalib version gets the palette badly wrong forme07:38
mjg59Keybuk: Interesting. How?07:40
mjg59jbailey: Should actually work on anything with a PC BIOS07:40
mjg59But pragmatically speaking, we have working framebuffers on everything other than x86 and amd64, so.07:40
Keybukmjg59: 0 thru 8 are all black07:41
mjg59Keybuk: Oh. I get that as well. I assumed that the testcard was supposed to be broken like that.07:41
Keybukmjg59: no07:41
mjg59Gosh, you're right07:41
mjg59Heh07:41
mjg59Ok, either the palette setting code or the de-RLEing code is wrong07:42
Keybukthe test card is a standard vga palette with 0 and 7 reversed07:42
Keybuk(ie, grey and black)07:42
mjg59Should be easy enough to fix07:42
mjg59The RLE stuff looks good, so I suspect it's the palette setting07:46
=== jwest- [n=jwest@83.110.124.125] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
mjg59Keybuk: Ok, the colours are getting to vga_setpalette without any problems07:54
mjg59Ah. Then they're supposed to vanish into vesa.07:54
mjg59Hm. Could just set up a non-palettised screenmode, that would probably fix it :)07:56

crimsun(and a newer alsa)09:47
BenCI grabbed aoa from latest alsa09:48
BenClatest also is filled with IRQF_* changes, so I need to take some time to grab the whole thing09:48
crimsunBenC: ah, ok, thanks.09:48
