Keybukit seems to be using performance not ondemand10:08
infinityYeah, I noticed that just now.10:22
infinityOddly enough, I'm not sure when this is being set...10:22
infinitySince my rc.local includes a line to set my machine to "powersave", and it got reset to performance afterward.10:23
infinityManually setting it back to powersave made it less sad.10:23
tepsipakkiok, there's a strange nfs-bug in kernel perhaps since 2.6.18... read-write mounts have to be mounted before ro-mounts or they are mounted ro as well. I've seen this on rhel5b2, edgy and now on feisty (2.6.20)10:26
tepsipakkidapper is fine10:26
tepsipakkihas someon seen anything similar?10:26
tepsipakki+e10:26
tepsipakkiI'm thinking that maybe this is a feature that was added since 2.6.15 :)10:27
tepsipakkihmm, I was told that cache-fs makes one handle per fileserver and the permissions are used for all mounts from that server.. so the first mount dictates the permissions that are used (/tried)10:33

BenCas soon as I get the kernel to the point where it's not making me lose sleep :)04:24
BenCinitramfs-tools, kernel-package, kernel-wedge...I will sync those things soon04:25
BenCmaks_: Will you take the firmware changes too?04:25
maks_cool, i don't like to be totaly out of sync04:25
maks_no i want to use modprobe for it04:26
BenCI guess they don't make sense for Debian as much as us, but it may help the user04:26
maks_there is an separate firmware hook package for qlaxxx in debian04:26
BenCmaks_: You mean the new changes so the driver exports the firmware it needs?04:26
maks_yes04:26
BenCmakes sense04:26
BenCwe'll have to keep it local until that happens04:26
maks_sure there are some divergences like the takeover bit in update-initramfs04:27

BenCmaks_: Ok04:29
BenCkylem: that patch needs to be forward ported I guess04:29
kylemthe code in edgy is quite divergent to mainline.04:30
mjg59kylem: Yeah, the code in edgy has the Thinkpad embedded controller driver04:30
mjg59So tp_smapi can work04:31
kylemdid it get NAK'd upstream?04:31
mjg59No04:31
kylemjust dropped on the floor? :(04:31
mjg59There was some fuss over whether it was genuinely clean-room generated04:32
mjg59The conclusion seemed to be that it was04:32
mjg59But I haven't seen it pushed again since that04:32
mjg59I also worry a little about the inverted stuff04:32
mjg59I think some people might have different expectations about the behaviour 04:32
mjg59Should raising the right side of your laptop be a positive or negative motion?04:33
mjg59You can argue for either case04:33
mjg59I guess we ought to standardise on the Neverball case04:34
kylemheh04:38
kylemi'd standardize on a cockpit joystick style motion04:39
kylempull back to nose up04:39
KeybukI want to see someone use the tilt sensor as an input device for a computer game04:39
Keybukit'd be like the Wii, with the added advantage you get to throw your laptop to the floor in anger when you lose04:39

dade`BenC: the acpi problem is that after .19 the acpi modules are loaded after hald starts up06:37
dade`and so hald does not know about my battery06:38
mjg59dade`: That's not a kernel issue06:38
BenCdade`: Sounds like a problem in hald, IMO. It should detect the insertion of new devices on the system06:38
kkubasikdade`: try setting udev's monitoring level higer06:39
kkubasiklike udevmonitor --log=log06:40
kkubasikor something06:40
kkubasikoops, udevcontrol I mean06:40
kkubasikthen run udevmonitor06:40
dade`the init script launch gdm, that autoloads the gnome session, and after the init script enables acpi stuff06:40

mkrufkyWho is maintaining the Ubuntu 2.6.17.x kernel now?  Ben or Kyle?   06:47
mkrufky(i'm just looking at the kernel.org git repo index page, not easy to tell)06:48
mkrufkyanyway, i ask, because I have some new -stable patches for 2.6.17.y , but the "official" 2.6.17.y stable kernel series is now closed06:49
mkrufkywhenever this cg-clone to my local machine finishes, I will push up the v4l-dvb-stable fixes for 2.6.17.y .... wondering if you guys would accept them06:49
BenCmkrufky: For edgy, probably not, because we are just a mere 4 months from feisty release06:54
BenCupdates like that for dapper make sense though, for people following just LTS releases06:54
mkrufkyhmm... dapper is still 2.6.1506:56
mkrufkyyikes, these DO need to be applied to 2.6.15 though ........06:56
BenCyeah, it's getting pretty old, but it's going to be supported for 3 years on the desktop06:57
mkrufkymaybe i will also push up a v4l-dvb-2.6.15.y for dapper's sake06:57
mkrufkyin which case, there are probably abour 10-15 crucial bugfixes06:57
mkrufkyabouT06:57
mkrufkyanyhow, i'm going to push these two 2.6.17.y fixes anyway, for any other distro that may want them... they're small ... .whenever this clone finishes (damn slow network) , then I'll give you a link 06:58
