[12:26] <mjg59> BenC: No problem
[03:16] <zul> Mithrandir: uploading now
[04:10] <srwalter> I posted a patch to linux-source-2.6.15 almost a month ago (bug #57625) and nothing has come of it.  did I do something wrong?
[04:12] <zul> it might have just got missed
[04:13] <srwalter> is there some action I should take?
[04:13] <zul> lemme check somethin
[04:14] <zul> have a look at this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide
[04:15] <zul> but ill make sure it gets included in the next upload
[04:15] <srwalter> sweet
[04:30] <Skrot> Hi. This probably isn't the right place to ask, but how do I completely unload and reload alsa? 
[04:30] <Skrot> I've got to unload the modules, and modprobe intel_hda_snd with different options
[07:53] <Mithrandir> BenC: (or somebody else): kexec-tools (dependency of linux-image-kdump) needs a main inclusion report.
[08:30] <mdz> Mithrandir: I built some livefses once the build queue emptied
[08:31] <Mithrandir> mdz: thanks.
[08:33] <Mithrandir> now we just have those uninstallables which actually need work left.
[08:52] <marcin_ant> I know that info about jmicron is in topic - but short question - is this patched version available for dapper too?
[09:46] <AnAnt> will there be an optimized kernel build for amd64 (for 32-bit Ubuntu that is)
[10:31] <fabbione> BenC: please pull from my edgy tree to fix the Niagara CPU lockups
[12:07] <tfheen> BenC: you have a bunch of bugs with milestone ubuntu-6.10-beta which are in fix committed.  Are those uploaded?
[12:08] <ph8|work> do you mean a lot of bugs?
[12:08] <ph8|work> i hope that wasn't a yankeeisation... 
[12:09] <ph8|work> or 'several' bugs
[12:09] <ph8|work> tfheen: It might be an idea to check the changelog at the url in topic for those bug fixes
[12:09] <ph8|work> if not, i'd assume they're waiting to go in with -11 if fix is committed
[02:01] <exobuzz> are their rules which govern what patches should go with ubuntu kernel? Would something like high resolution timer support +dynamic ticks" be outside of the kind of patches ubuntu accepts for its kernel ?of patch 
[02:02] <exobuzz> ignore text after "?". my mind empied into this text gadget in the wrong order
[02:02] <exobuzz> their=there
[02:02] <exobuzz> :)
[02:05] <fabbione> exobuzz: it depends how intrusive it is
[02:05] <exobuzz> I'm referring this this patch http://www.tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.17/ it doesnt apply cleanly to the already patched ubuntu kernel (I had to tweak it). it's very useful for laptop users though as it can a) stop the whining b) decrase running temperature when idle, and c) increase battery life
[02:06] <exobuzz> it mostly applies but i had to manually apply a few parts
[02:07] <mjg59> We won't be applying it for edgy
[02:07] <mjg59> It's not sufficiently well tested yet
[02:07] <exobuzz> ok
[02:10] <exobuzz> parts of the high resolution timer stuff is already in the main kernel i believe. i guess the dynticks stuff will get there soon
[02:11] <mjg59> Yes
[02:11] <mjg59> But we're releasing next month
[02:12] <exobuzz> sure..  I didnt mean by my last line to try and persuide you. just a remark
[02:12] <exobuzz> persuade
[02:12] <tonfa> exobuzz: for dynticks to be useful you need to fix userspace
[02:12] <tonfa> and that isn't done in gnome 2.16
[02:12] <exobuzz> tonfa: how so ?
[02:12] <mjg59> We'll almost certainly be using it in edgy+1
[02:13] <mjg59> exobuzz: tickless isn't useful unless userspace wakes up less often than your Hz rate
[02:13] <tonfa> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/showdependencytree.cgi?id=204948
[02:13] <tonfa> see that bug
[02:13] <exobuzz> ok
[02:14] <exobuzz> "userspace sucks" nice title :-)
[02:17] <exobuzz> fabbione: thanks for the mdadm fixes 
[02:18] <fabbione> no problem
[02:22] <exobuzz> is their something specific in an ubuntu kernel which sets resolution for usplash ? I build my own kernel from ubuntu kernel sources, but it doesn't set the same resolution
[02:25] <mjg59> No, it's all done in userspace
[02:26] <tonfa> exobuzz: same grub entry ?
[02:26] <exobuzz> ill recheck..
[02:27] <exobuzz> it's probably me :)
[02:27] <zul> hey
[04:07] <BenC> tfheen: Yes, it's pending in the upload queue
[04:13] <tfheen> BenC: I had it approved some hours ago, so you should have gotten the accept mail
[04:17] <BenC> tfheen: I just saw it, thanks..
[04:48] <BenC> tfheen: Uploaded lrm and linux-meta to go with the kernel ABI bump
[04:54] <fabbione> BenC: can you please pull from my edgy branch too? there is CONFIG_PROM_CONSOLE=n fix for Niagara
[04:56] <BenC> fabbione: ok
[05:06] <BenC> sweet, everything is building 10.24 now
[05:13] <tfheen> BenC: goodie; I'll get Colin to approve them
[05:52] <tfheen> BenC: please mark the fixed bugs on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+milestone/ubuntu-6.10-beta as fixed.  At least 61898 should be fix released, shouldn't it?
[05:53] <tfheen> (sorry to nag)
[05:56] <BenC> tfheen: With the kernels in, I think all my bugs can be fixed released
[05:57] <BenC> tfheen: checking
[05:57] <tfheen> BenC: yay, that's great :-)
[05:58] <BenC> tfheen: Was wrong, didn't notice some other bugs :)
[05:58] <BenC> tfheen: I need testing on 60183
[05:58] <BenC> it should be fixed in -9.23 kernel, but I haven't heard anything back
[05:59] <BenC> tfheen: Marked three of them fixed released
[06:01] <tfheen> BenC: ok.  If you'd care to prod Colin about 60183, that'd be good.
[06:03] <tfheen> anyway, afk for a bit of RPG-ing.
[06:04] <BenC> ok, thanks
[06:04] <thom> tfheen: try not to blow up too many tanks
[06:28] <tonfa> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:28] <tonfa> is that up to date ?
[06:31] <zul> yes
[06:35] <tonfa> debian/bin/oldconfig does not exist
[06:35] <BenC> tonfa: Are you using edgy kernel?
[06:36] <BenC> bcollins@gullible:/org/linux-source-2.6.17-2.6.17$ ls -l debian/bin/oldconfig 
[06:36] <BenC> -rwxr-xr-x 1 bcollins bcollins 1253 2006-09-22 23:18 debian/bin/oldconfig
[06:37] <tonfa> linux-source-2.6.17
[06:37] <tonfa> I'll recheck
[06:37] <tonfa> do you have to do something to create the oldconfig executable ?
[06:38] <tonfa> I just installed the package and got /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.17.tar.bz2
[06:38] <tonfa> and i untarred it
[06:40] <tonfa> is there a command you have to run to prepare the debian/ubuntu build system ?
[06:42] <BenC> tonfa: The linux-source-2.6.17 probably isn't what you want
[06:42] <BenC> you either want the "apt-get source linux-source-2.6.17" or the git tree
[06:43] <tonfa> what do I need then ?
[06:43] <tonfa> oh ok
[06:43] <BenC> mjg59: ping
[06:44] <tonfa> BenC: then the wiki is wrong
[06:44] <tonfa> i assume it will create the directory in cwd, right ?
[06:44] <mjg59> beHi
[06:44] <mjg59> BenC: Hi
[06:48] <BenC> mjg59: My laptop seems to have a tifm mmc
[06:48] <BenC> mjg59: It detects when I insert a card, but doesn't do anything with it
[06:49] <mjg59> BenC: modprobe tifm_sd
[06:49] <BenC> did that
[06:49] <mjg59> Are you sure?
[06:49] <BenC> [17479243.704000]  tifm_7xx1: xd card detected in socket 0
[06:49] <BenC> $ lsmod | grep tifm
[06:49] <BenC> tifm_sd                10884  0 
[06:49] <BenC> tifm_7xx1               9600  0 
[06:49] <BenC> mmc_core               32648  2 tifm_sd,sdhci
[06:49] <BenC> tifm_core              10496  2 tifm_sd,tifm_7xx1
[06:49] <mjg59> Did you put an xd card in it?
[06:49] <BenC> actually, it's a SmartMedia card
[06:49] <mjg59> Or an sd card?
[06:49] <mjg59> Ok
[06:49] <mjg59> Unsupported
[06:49] <mjg59> Only MMC and SD works right now
[06:50] <BenC> what?!!?
[06:50] <mjg59> xd and smartmedia are basically the same
[06:50] <BenC> so xd doesn't work?
[06:50] <mjg59> Right
[06:50] <mjg59> Somebody needs to write a protocol implementation for it
[06:50] <mjg59> Heh
[06:50] <mjg59> I've got a disassembly of the Windows driver
[06:51] <mjg59> I can dig that out and send it to you
[06:51] <BenC> yeah, that'd be nice
[06:51] <BenC> I have an mmc card to test, let me try that too
[06:51] <BenC> hrrm, I had one...need to find it
[06:51] <mjg59> A kernel xd/smartmedia layer would be nice
[06:51] <mjg59> Like the mmc layer
[06:51] <mjg59> Then just plug in the individual driver
[06:53] <BenC> sweet, mmc works
[07:33] <marcin_ant> hi all
[07:34] <marcin_ant> where can I find this 2.6.17-10.24 kernel (mentioned in topic) with jmicron fix - for dapper?
[07:46] <zul> *grumble* grumble*
[07:46] <kylem> zul, hmm?
[07:47] <zul> xen is starting to piss me off
[07:55] <zul> BenC: if i put up my config somewhere can you have a look at it?
[08:53] <mhb> hello
[08:54] <mhb> I wonder if it would be possible to add a "firmware" file to /lib/firmware for Edgy
[08:56] <mhb> the DVB-T card I own requests this (http://www.linuxtv.org/download/dvb/firmware/dvb-usb-wt220u-02.fw) file, although in Edgy there's only dvb-usb-wt220u-01.fw
[08:57] <mhb> so I think it would be fine if this file was added to Ubuntu too, if it's legal of course
[08:59] <mhb> if this is not the right channel for such questions, I would be glad if you redirected me to another person/channel then
[09:00] <zul> mhb: i can look into it but please open a bug in launchpad for tracking pruposes
[09:01] <mhb> ok, I will ... what package?
[09:01] <zul> linux-source-2.6.17
[09:10] <mhb> OK, it's there. I'll be grateful if you look into it. https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/62500
[09:10] <zul> thanks..
[10:48] <zul> BenC: could we remov compiler.h from byteorder.h?
[11:14] <zul> night..
[11:56] <svu_tv> BenC, great thanks, it loads. it seems...
[11:57] <BenC> svu_tv: sata_svw on G5?
