zulPhilip5: yes if you have a copy already then git pull01:18
Philip5zul: well, that's what i thought but getting a copy at first can be plenty of data to download01:19
zultrue buts its only once01:19
zul../in theory01:20
Philip5i cloned the ubuntu-dapper.git and got like 400 mb01:20
Philip5is'n that the draw back with git compared to cvs?01:21
Philip5where i can get a snapshot and take it from there01:21
zulthere isnt one01:21
Philip5but it would be a good feature01:22
zulit would but we dont have one right now01:22
Philip5true... and that was what i thought01:22
Philip5but i could have use a feature like that :)01:23
neuralisPhilip5: lightweight checkouts (and partial checkouts) are the most commonly requested git features; it's reasonable to expect git will grow support for them01:23
Philip5it would be nice01:25
Philip5i have to make a custom made kernel with ubuntu and want as many of the patches the standard use in it and therefore it would be nice to catch the tree as a snapshot01:26
Philip5now i had to play sherlock holmes and search the net for all of them instead01:26
zulPhilip5: ah...have you tried apt-get linux-source-2.6.17?01:28
zullinux-source-2.6.17 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.17 with Ubuntu patches01:28
Philip5i need even newer with the -mm patch01:29
Philip5have brand new hardware that are not supported until right now01:29
zuljmicron?01:29
Philip5zul: how could you guess... ;)01:30
zulPhilip5: because i sent a patch to BenC a couple of days ago for edgy01:30
Philip5zul: great01:30
Philip5right now i'm building the kernel and have to make my own ubuntu livecd with it to get everthing installed01:31
mjg59zul: Can you flag the bug pending if it isn't already?01:32
Philip5zul: do you know if the jmicron will be backported or is it more likely with new kernel in edgy?01:34
Philip5new=newer01:34
zulmjg59: pretty sure i already did but ill double check01:34
zulmore likely in edgy01:34
dilingercool, jgarzik took the sata_mv fix02:24

BenCmvirkkil: It should have it05:24
mvirkkilBenC: Ok, thanks. Guess I'll need to give edgy a shot then. (it didn't go in to 2.6.17, but it should be in 2.6.18 iirc.)05:25
BenCI put it in 2.6.1705:26
BenCfor edgy05:26
BenCor a similar patch at least05:26
mjg59BenC: I've got some more suspend patches for you05:26

BenCyeah, it was 154 alone06:34
mjg59That was fun06:34
BenCeverything applied, one of your last pm-fixes didn't apply cleanly, but it was just a one-line offset I had to fix06:35
mjg59Cool06:35
mjg59I win at patches06:35
mjg59BenC: Oh, hang on, I've triggered a build failure06:38
mjg59Hang on, I'll clean it up06:38
BenCheh, sweet...it's your fault this time :)06:38
mjg59Hm06:40
mjg59It might actually be fixed by the patch I've previously sent you06:40

mjg59Let me take a look08:39
mjg59BenC: Yeah, just fadt_descriptor08:41

TeePOGgood evening08:43
TeePOGif I installed edubuntu with the i386 installation disc on an AMD64, how do I get the K8 kernel?08:44
mjg59You probably don't want to do that08:44
TeePOGhow so?08:44
mjg59Because the i386 distribution uses functionality not provided by the amd64 kernel08:45
mjg59vm86, specifically08:45
TeePOGok...08:45
BenCand not all ioctls are thunked for 32-bit userspace to a 64-bit kernel08:45
TeePOGwill I get any benefit from the k7 kernel? i need as much as i can get, this machine will run vmware with *doze in08:46
BenCso things like usb printing may not work08:46
TeePOGi see08:46
BenCTePOG: there's not much else to gain, the -k7 kernel is suggested though08:46
TeePOGwe're using network printers anyway, so usb printing is a non-event08:46
TeePOGthanks a lot BenC08:47
