[03:26] <merlin-linux> hi all
[03:29] <merlin-linux> i wondering if anyone can help me with bit of info please?  I have found a work around with my laptop to get the 5 in 1 card reader to work on my laptop, and along with the synaptic touch pad as well that does not get detected properly and written to the xorg.conf file at install
[03:30] <merlin-linux> i have reported bugs on both these problems
[03:31] <merlin-linux> here is a wiki page i have put together with with all the work a rounds for my laptop >>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire5601AWLMi/HowTo
[04:20] <Burgundavia> merlin-linux: as long as you have filed the bug reports you are good. Have you uploaded your patch to the bug?
[04:21] <merlin-linux> this were i need the help to create the patch
[04:21] <Burgundavia> rightr
[04:21] <Burgundavia> what is workaround?
[04:22] <merlin-linux> look this url >>> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/AcerAspire5601AWLMi/HowTo
[04:22] <merlin-linux> that everything i have had to do to get my laptop to a functional manner
[04:23] <Burgundavia> just filing a bug is fine in this case
[04:23] <Burgundavia> no need for a patch
[04:23] <merlin-linux> synaptic touchpad i had to fill in all that info cause it was never detected with install of edgy etc
[04:24] <Burgundavia> are those regressions from dapper?
[04:24] <merlin-linux> i have filed bugs and when i have found work arounds i have added that to the bug report :-)
[04:24] <merlin-linux> this is a clean edgy install
[04:26] <merlin-linux> well this a clean install when rc1 came out
[04:26] <merlin-linux> but i have not done a clean install of edgy final release on this laptop
[04:27] <Burgundavia> probably ok
[04:27] <Burgundavia> test the dapper live cd
[04:28] <Burgundavia> if those are regressions for dapper, mark so in the title
[04:28] <merlin-linux> i have got another problem and i have a kcore file in the /proc dir that is 896MB in size
[04:30] <merlin-linux> and in the /dev dir there is a symlink to kcore called core which says link to program crash data
[04:31] <merlin-linux> and it seems to be getting written to randomly, would i beable to remove the kcore file
[04:32] <merlin-linux> cause it in my 10GB / partition
