[01:31] <ilmari> thom: gotten around to testing hdaps on the tablet yet?
[01:31] <ilmari> (sorry to nag, but it would be cool to have the fix in edgy)
[01:46] <infinity> BenC: Hey, while you're silencing useless printks, can you drop this one to INFO?
[01:46] <infinity> [17179607.624000]  hw_random: RNG not detected
[01:47] <infinity> I get it on every boot just before my login prompt.
[01:47] <infinity> I also get this one, which seems like pretty useless end-user info:
[01:47] <infinity> [17232911.856000]  eth1: NETDEV_TX_BUSY returned; driver should report queue full via ieee_device->is_queue_full.
[01:48] <BenC> infinity: done
[01:50] <infinity> For both?
[01:51] <zul> right im off to watch lost back later
[01:53] <BenC> infinity: yeah
[01:53] <infinity> BenC: Rock on.
[01:53] <infinity> That should give me a completely silent boot now, thanks.
[02:00] <ilmari> BenC: thom doesn't seem to be responding, could you at least apply the patch in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/33950 without the tablet entry?
[02:00] <ilmari> (or with, if you agree with my guess that it's like the rest of the X40 series)
[02:04] <BenC> ilmari: We're in kernel freeze right now, so I can't accept guesses since what I put in there could very well be released
[02:04] <ilmari> BenC: the X41 change has been tested, it's just the X41 tablet we're unsure of
[02:05] <BenC> ilmari: Mark it for ubuntu-6.10 milestone and I'll see what I can do
[02:06] <ilmari> BenC: in the tag field? (sorry, haven't used malone much)
[02:07] <BenC> ilmari: There's a milestone field
[02:10] <ilmari> hm, I can't find it
[02:10] <ilmari> does it require special permissions?
[02:10] <BenC> not sure, maybe
[02:10] <ilmari> or am I just being blind/dense?
[02:44] <BenC> ilmari: changed it myself
[02:45] <ilmari> great, thanks
[05:04] <zul_> BenC: ping
[05:05] <zul_> got a vmlinux for xen patches in 2.6.19
[06:02] <infinity> zul: Around?
[06:02] <infinity> zul: xen-headers-2.6.17-5 is still lacking an arch/ directory.
[06:03] <infinity> (At least, it is on i386)
[09:06] <infinity> BenC: Alive?
[11:33] <ilmari> thom: any luck with the hdaps testing?
[11:33] <thom> ilmari: none i'm afraid - no internet at home and the relevant bits missing :(
[11:46] <ilmari> bummer
[04:03] <tarikb> can someone help me
[04:05] <tarikb> i am mising /lib/modules... autoconf.h
[04:26] <BenC> tarikb: Did you install linux-headers-`uname -r` ?
[05:14] <hub> him
[05:14] <hub> I'm trying to revuild a kernel of the git tree
[05:14] <hub> because the current one makes my laptop useless as suspend is broken
[05:15] <hub> so I try to rebuild 2.6.15-19 which is the last kernel known to work
[05:15] <hub> I get an error
[05:15] <hub> init/built-in.o: In function `try_name':

[05:15] <zul> have you tried with building with -fno-stack-protector?
[05:16] <hub> I did fakeroot debian/rules binary-debs flavours=686                    
[05:17] <mjg59> You need to ensure that -fno-stack-protector is in the CFLAGS
[05:20] <hub> *sigh*
[05:21] <hub> mjg59: and where is the best place to put that in order to build a package?
[05:22] <hub> I use ubunut git tree has indicated by bcollins a few month back
[05:23] <hub> so that I can make my laptop more useful
[05:24] <BenC> hub: So edgy kernel doesn't work for you?
[05:24] <BenC> hub: Edit Makefile, and add -fno-stack-protector to CFLAGS
[05:25] <BenC> hub: The interesting thing is, if you are using git, you should read up on git-bisect and try to find the commit where suspend stopped working for you
[05:28] <hub> BenC: edgy not at all, neither has dapper past -19 anyway
[05:28] <hub> 2.6.15-19 was the last know working
[05:29] <BenC> hub: for the benefit of yourself, others and ubuntu, please try to narrow it down to a commit using git-bisect...I'll help you through the steps
[05:29] <hub> BenC: well I don't really have the *time*
[05:29] <BenC> if it's an easy fix, I may even be able to get it into dapper-proposed, and perhaps even edgy release
[05:30] <hub> even grub is fscked up
[05:30] <hub> I can't even select another kernel
[05:30] <hub> I have to edit the config file prior rebooting
[05:31] <hub> and I had to use a LiveCD to set it back because it failed
[05:31] <hub> (there is a Malone for that too)

[07:24] <hub> make[4] : *** [drivers/net/ndiswrapper]  Error 2
[07:24] <hub> I get the error above compiling the kernel
[07:24] <hub> *sigh*
[07:52] <BenC> hub: install mawk/gawk
[07:53] <hub> it is not in the build-dep *sigh*
[07:54] <hub> BenC: both are installed
[07:54] <ilmari> tfheen: is your thinkpad an x40?
[07:54] <hub> actually
[07:54] <BenC> hub: make sure /usr/bin/awk is using gawk
[07:55] <tfheen> ilmari: yes
[07:55] <hub> BenC: it is
[07:55] <hub> BenC: /etc/alternatives/awk -> /usr/bin/gawk
[07:55] <BenC> hub: then you have a different problem that I'm not aware of
[07:56] <ilmari> tfheen: does #61184 affect you?
[07:56] <hub> BenC: that is my problem
[07:56] <tfheen> ilmari: no, my screen brightness buttons are happy
[07:57] <hub> BenC: building a dapper kernel on edgy
[07:57] <ilmari> thom: since you seem to be the only one around with an X41 Tablet, could you check if #61184 affects it?
[07:58] <ilmari> thom: bah, never mind, that can't be tested on dapper
[08:03] <tfheen> ilmari: given that he doesn't have internet at home you might want to sms him or something
[08:03] <Icarus__> hi
[08:03] <Icarus__> there
[08:06] <ilmari> tfheen: no point, he's running dapper on it, and it works fine there
[08:06] <ilmari> its hal/gnome-power-manager/whatever doesn't interfere at all with brightness
[09:04] <marcin_ant> BenC: hi, could you tell me if is this safe at last to upgrade from dapper to edgy while I'm Asus p5b (jmicron) user?
[11:14] <hub> marcin_ant: given the pain I have with edgy, I'm not gonna say it is sagfe
[11:16] <marcin_ant> hub: well I know that edgy can be unstable etc.
[11:17] <hub> marcin_ant: I lost suspend and have other major issues
[11:17] <marcin_ant> hub: but I'm really affraid that edgy can be unusable on my mobo while there are/were problems with ich8 
[11:17] <hub> and firefox 2.0rc2 is a regression
[11:20] <marcin_ant> hub: I can deal with some software problems - but problem is that with my mobo edgy can be not bootable at all
[11:21] <marcin_ant> hub: currently I use dapper and while it works pretty nice I cannot use dvd/cd drive because jmicron chipset is not supported - so it sucks because I cannot install any soft from cd and cannot make backups directly to dvd :(
[11:23] <hub> well since i have edgy I can no longer suspend to ram my laptop. this annoy me more.
