I've also booted in single-user mode, and stepped through init scripts in runlevel 2. Screen goes completely blank when gdm starts. [04:11] That includes the console. [04:11] is the system still alive, or does it lock up? [04:11] can it be pinged? [04:11] Still alive [04:12] What kernel is on the beta install image? Installer fails as well, for the same reason. [04:13] latest kernel [04:13] try using vga, vesa or fbdev for your xorg driver [04:13] what video card are you using? [04:13] hmm, okay. i810 [04:14] which chipset? [04:14] 945, 965? [04:14] It's a Canonical-supplied Toshiba Tecra A2 with Intel 855GM graphics.

I appreciate it. [04:17] BenC: is the ov511 you just added to ubuntu/media a newer version of the ov511 in drivers/media/video? [04:17] (just curious) [04:18] mkrufky: It's got the decompressors in it that the stock kernel one doesn't [04:18] ah, ok [04:18] do u know if there's any reason that never got to the stock kernel? [04:20] technically the decompressor should be linux-restricted-modules, but it's a matter of "no one has complained yet" :) [04:21] not sure of the exact details, but it's not something that can go in the main kernel [04:21] I wish the main kernel had left the decompressor hooks in, so I wouldn't have to include the whole driver [04:21] ok, now that i'm looking at it, i think this wouldnt normally be in the main kernel because they would say it belongs in userland [04:22] ya, i know what you mean... [04:22] why dont you just patch the hooks back in, for the ubuntu kernel? [04:22] then it would probably be easier to keep it up to date [04:23] not really, because the hooks are pretty invasive [04:23] mkrufky: any comments on the new ubuntu/* driver sub directory? [04:24] I'm hoping it makes things easier to maintain [04:24] i took a look and only say ov511 inside === mkrufky looks again [04:24] oh, oops [04:24] hehe i was being media-centric ;-) [04:25] it's pretty loaded :) [04:25] i like the idea [04:25] I just started on the media drivers [04:25] i think you've also got the hollywood/dxr3 driver in the main tree [04:26] what else is planned ? [04:26] I've got a list from edgy [04:26] there's like 40 more drivers [04:26] hmm [04:27] 40 all media drivers?

[04:27] more net drivers [04:28] no, not all media, I only have like 6 more of those [04:28] ah, ok ... i thought you meant 40 media drivers.... that would be a surprise to know there's that many out of thre [04:28] s/thre/tree [04:29] the debian/changelog is going to be autogenerated using git-log | debian/bin/git-ubuntu-log too [04:29] debian/rules printchanges | less [04:29] cool === ajmitch [n=ajmitch@ubuntu/member/ajmitch] has joined #ubuntu-kernel === lamont [i=lamont@nat/hp/x-aac6bbd15af6b6df] has joined #ubuntu-kernel [04:38] ubuntu/misc is weird [04:57] how so?

[03:09] BenC: you have the few remaining kernel bugs targetted for 6.10 under control, right? So we'll have an upload today or tomorrow? [03:10] BenC: Yo. [03:10] tfheen: Just uploaded this second [03:10] BenC: excellent :-) [03:11] let's hope it works well and we won't need more uploads, then [03:11] infinity: Are you going to handle the initramfs-tools fix to include the jmicron.ko module (so the cd's have it) or do you want me to? [03:11] BenC: I can do it after I mangle LRM a bit, or you can do it if you're in the mood. I'm very not picky. [03:11] tfheen: Well, the FTBFS on ppc is fixed, and the few remaining issues that I wanted for release are included as well [03:12] infinity: With the kernel upload done, I have time, so I'll tackle it [03:12] Mmkay. [03:12] BenC: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/43531 should probably be against 2.6.17 since it's targetted for 6.10? [03:14] infinity: I can just add it to the ide) under auto_add_modules, right? [03:14] tfheen: Interesting, yeah, it should [03:14] I'm not so sure that one will make it in [03:14] who changed the target to 6.10? [03:15] unsure; LP doesn't display that information clearly [03:15] Last activity was my Matt on Jun 6 [03:15] BenC: Assuming it's an IDE driver, sure. :) [03:15] BenC: Keep the list alphabetical, for the sake of my sanity. [03:15] tfheen: I'm going to remove it from ubuntu-6.10 target [03:16] BenC: last activity was from Matt on Sept 12th where he said "remember this is targetted for 6.10" [03:16] infinity: muh hah hah...I'll add it in a random spot, and in escaped ascii!! [03:16] BenC: I love you too. [03:17] tfheen: weird, I don't see that one [03:17] BenC: uh, you don't see it on the URL I mentioned above? [03:17] Re: Kernel isn't very useful without a boot loader, but doesn't depend on one from Matt Zimmerman at 2006-09-12 00:54:50 UTC [03:17] tfheen: No, I didn' see it in the activity log, but I guess that isn't for comments [03:18] oh, he targetted it in June [03:19] if you could discuss dropping it for 6.10 with mdz, I'd appreciate. I don't care deeply either way. [03:19] tfheen: I'll try to get it done, but it's going to require a kernel upload, and uploading every boot loader [03:22] BenC: why isn't it enough to make a no-bootloader package and making the kernel depend on it or grub or lilo or yaboot or ... (as appropriate for platforms, naturally)? [03:23] tfheen: The idea was for every boot loaded to provide "boot-loader", so the kernel could just depend on "boot-loader" [03:23] oh, ok. [03:23] anyway, if you can get it done, great, if not, please talk to mdz about it. [03:23] ok [03:23] and if he doesn't allow you to drop it, tell me so we can find out what we should do. [03:24] thanks :-) [03:24] tfheen: do you have teh bug # off hand for the jmicron ide module? [03:24] https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/63085 [03:24] thanks [03:24] seems to be the one [03:25] lp's searching sucks [03:25] I search for jmicron, and it can't find jmicron.ko [03:25] yeah. :-/ [03:25] I just found it because it's targetted for 6.10 === BenC starts singing "And another one bites the dust" [03:29] infinity: How often do you go through the modules to update initramfs-tools auto lists? [03:30] BenC: Once or twice per release cycle. ie: Not often. [03:31] BenC: Feel free to do so yourself whenever you like. It's kernel-related, after all, and you have a better idea of what drivers you ship than I do. :) [03:32] shows how much I know about initramfs-tools...I figured it pulled drivers/ide/**.ko [03:33] infinity: for edgy+1 it needs a makeover...since there's not a drivers/ata/ directory for all of sata and libata based pata, and we are switching a few drivers over to that [03:34] s/not/now/ [03:34] no one's complained much about the livecd not having drivers, so I assume we are ok for edgy [03:36] BenC: When Jeff first wrote it, he automated the driver listing, and apparently that ran into some snags, so he reverted to static lists. [03:36] BenC: I've not examined automating it due to not wanting to repeat the mistakes of those more clever who have gone before me. :) [03:37] infinity: hmm...sounds like something not to be messed with [03:43] infinity: If you're doing lrm, are you handling the ppc64 ftbfs too? [03:44] intinify: basically, just disable madwifi on the powerpc64-smp flavour [03:47] Yeah, that's what I was uploading for, just getting some other stuff at the same time.
