jbaileyBenC: Launchpad doesn't seem to know about linux-restricted-modules-2.6.19 yet, where do you want bugs? =)12:24
BenCit should, they are built12:24
BenCare you talking about the ppc ftbfs?12:24
jbaileyNope =)12:25
jbaileylinux-restricted-modules-2.6.19-5-generic - Non-free Linux 2.6.19 modules on x86_64 generic12:25
jbaileyThis is the description on i386. =)12:25
BenCooh, ok12:25
jbailey(as I was checking to see if they were available yet. *g*)12:25
BenCjust an email directly will be ok12:25
jbaileyDone, thanks.12:27

Administrator__smp why is it eneabled in generic?04:00
Administrator__this causes softlockups on some wifi cards04:01
fabbionethen there is a bug in the wifi driver04:02
Administrator__http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=226804:07
Administrator__there are a lot of users who own a rt61l, see ubuntu forums.04:09
Administrator__*rt6104:09
fabbioneubuntu forums are NOT a bug reporting tool.04:10
fabbioneif there is a bug in launchpad somebody will look at it04:10
Administrator__who reported a bug there?04:10
fabbioneotherwise tough luck04:10
Administrator__I'm just gathering info04:10
Administrator__and proofing a proof of concept04:10
fabbionewell open a bug04:10
fabbionewith all the info04:10
Administrator__how well do you developers intergergrate with your users04:11
mjg59Administrator__: SMP is enabled in the generic kernel because it's now difficult to purchase a machine that isn't SMP04:11
mjg59That's not going to change04:11
fabbioneAdministrator_: opening bug in the right place is the right thing to do04:12
fabbioneit's no matter of "integrating".. we can't track stuff that's not in the right place04:12
rikaiDevelopers have more important things to do with their time(fixing bugs, adding new things), than to search the internet for problems reported in incorrect places. :)04:13
Administrator__mjg59, because of that reasons (i assume that you made that conclusion from your own perpective)  you guys enable smp in kernel?04:16
mjg59Administrator__: We enable SMP so that people can actually use their computers properly, yes04:17
Administrator__the help on the smp options is wrong, it can cause harmn.04:17
Administrator__so why not acutall make two flavors?04:17
Administrator__or several flavors?04:17
mjg59Because it would increase support load04:17
mjg59And because we could, instead, try to fix the broken drivers04:17
mjg59The answer to "My driver is broken and doesn't work properly with SMP" is not "Disable SMP"04:17
mjg59But in any case, the -386 kernels don't have SMP enabled04:18
makxb0rked drivers that are not smp ready are not even preemtible04:18
Administrator__ok that's great to here because, i already tried a bootparm nosmp but ubuntu didn't boot04:19
Administrator__hang on i'll install 386 kernel04:19

miniare there any plans for releasing an updated edgy kernel?07:28
jbaileymini: Define updated?07:29
jbaileyIt will get security fixes from here.07:29
minias in bugfixes07:29
jbaileyDepends on the bug.07:29
miniI'm thinking about this one https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.17/+bug/6341807:29
miniprevents many laptop users from booting...07:29
miniand has a very trivial workaround patch, that I just  tested07:30
jbaileymini: Mostly up to BenC and the rest of the kernel team on specifics like that.07:30
mini"many" as in all laptops with the ipw3945 intel wireless card07:30
minithus, probably majority of Core Duo laptops07:31
miniBenC: comments?07:32
BenCmini: "all laptops with ipw945" seems to exlude my laptop, since that's what I have07:33
miniDid you try booting with wireless off?07:33
minii.e. killswitch on07:33
minithat's what triggers the bug07:33
BenCI can test it later...if I can reproduce it, then the more likely it is to get fixed :)07:34
mini:-)07:34
miniok, there's a patch in that report, produced by Intel07:34
minitrivial timeout implementation that should be safe07:35
minisee the intel bugzilla at http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109607:35
BenCmini: ok, looks easy enough...Note it will go into edgy-proposed initially and hopefully work its way into edgy proper07:36
minithanks, makes me feel better.07:37
zulBenC: i updated the fiesty-xen stuff can you reivew it please07:38
miniBenC: thanks for listening07:38
BenCmini: no problem07:38
BenCzul: Yeah, give me a few minutes to get this kernel upload done07:39
zulsure07:39
zulheh i can be an asshole no you must do it now!! ;)07:40

=== ..[topic/#ubuntu-kernel:BenC] : Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | Kernel Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryKernel | 2.6.19-5.7 uploaded - Ciggarette BOF release. Use it, but there are still a few missing modules.
jbaileyzul: 08:11
jbaileyCant main packages depend on universe packages? - chuck08:11

zulwhat about multiverse?08:12
jbaileyno08:12
zuldamn..08:12
jbaileyThey call it the ogre model.08:12
jbaileymain, wrapped by restricted, wrapped by universe, wrapped by multiverse.08:12
jbaileyDependancies have to face in.08:12
zulok good to know08:13
lamontjbailey: and they fixed it after me...08:13
lamontuniverse can't depend on restricted either08:13
lamontalthough it could in my day, since I'm a lazy slacker08:13
lamontand it broke the purity of the ogre model.08:13
lamontbut it had to be08:14
zuldamn..08:16
zulis it possible to make a special case to get the xen-kernel in main eventually?08:17
zulof course i might be on crack08:18
lamontnope.08:19
tfheenzul: what's the problem?08:19
lamontwhat might be possible is to build the xen kernel without the dependency and have a multiverse package that delivers the extra module or whatever08:20
zultfheen: the problem is I would like to have xen in main evntually08:21
tfheenzul: yes, and that is problematic why?08:22
minisorry, I missed the issue - what's the troublesome module in xen?08:22
zulbecause the xen patch for the kernel is really really ugly08:22
lamontzul: main consists (by definition) of everything seeded in main, and all of the dependency chain to make it installable.  so it _can't_ depend on any other component...08:23
lamontreally really ugly doesn't imply multiverse or universe...08:23
zulok08:24
lamontwhat does it depend on that is not in main?08:24
zulit depends on the kernel basically08:24
lamontthat's in main. :-)08:24
zul*sigh* ill talk to you guys after this bof08:25
thomlamont in "helpful" mode08:25
