tepsipakkiKeybuk: I have a udev-related (?) problem with multiple dvb-tuner cards changing the order on reboots. Is there something that could be done with udev rules, or should it be handled elsewhere?12:13
Keybuktepsipakki: the order should not matter12:14
Keybukit is normal for multiple anything to change order between reboots12:14
Keybukfrom hard drives, to network cards, to sound cards, etc.12:15
tepsipakkiwell, basically yes12:15
Keybukuse software that doesn't rely on the kernel names, but instead uses HAL to identify cards by unique information12:15
tepsipakkiboth mythtv and vdr are affected :)12:16
KeybukI'm sure they will welcome patches12:16
tepsipakkiwell, vdr works, but plugins don't necessarily (mplayer comes in mind, which tries to use the tv-out on the full-feature card)12:16
tepsipakkidoes HAL have some cmdline tools that could be used in wrappers?12:17
tepsipakkianyway, the official answer is: "work around it"?-)12:21

btseAnybody working for Canonical here?05:45
pmjdebruijnbtse, why?05:48
KeybukMODALIAS=i8236505:51
KeybukBenC: ^ HOLY CHRISTING FUCK!05:51
Keybukso I guess the question becomes05:52
Keybuk"what comes first, the platform device or the module/driver that manges it?"05:52
=== ThiefOfBaghdad [n=aanjhan@unaffiliated/tuxmaniac] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
BenCKeybuk: chicken-and-egg?06:08
KeybukBenC: well, normally a device exists because it's in the system06:09
Keybukso the kernel creates it under the bus that manages the device06:09
Keybukand a module gets loaded, so that interfaces, etc. exist06:09
Keybukfor platform, this is trickier06:09
KeybukI would still guess that the platform bus should create devices for any hardware06:09
BenCplatform devices seem like black magic from my understanding06:10
Keybukso it doesn't make sense for the device to get removed06:10
BenCI'm not even sure how the driver gets loaded the first time06:10
BenCisapnpmap doesn't even show it, but the driver has a MODULE_DEV_TABLE:pnp06:10
Keybukdunno06:11
KeybukI can't boot .20, so can't see06:11
Keybukit's definitely utterly bogus that MODALIAS contains a module name!06:11
Keybukit should contain a description of the device06:11
Keybuke.g. platform:i8236506:11
Keybukand the module should export that as an alias06:11
Keybukbut that still doesn't explain why these platform devices are being removed, and then coming back06:12
BenCbasically the driver does platform_device_alloc(); platform_device_add(), isa_probe() = -ENODEV; platform_device_remove(); module exit with ENODEV06:15

btsepmjdebruijn: just wondering, what are the exact terms?06:24
pmjdebruijnbtse, exact terms of what?06:24
btsepmjdebruijn: the employment. are you employed by Canonical?06:25
pmjdebruijnbtse, no...06:25
pmjdebruijnbtse, anyway you should probably contact an official Canonical representative, not just someone on irc06:25
BenCbtse: What did you need to know?06:26
btsepmjdebruijn: ah, ok, yes I know,06:26
btsewell, is it full-time?06:26
BenCfor most ppl, yes06:26
btseso I suppose you're getting payed also?06:27
BenCworking for someone usually implies they pay you :)06:27
zulheh hey BenC 06:27
BenChey zul06:27
zulhow is it going?06:28
BenCslow this morning06:28
btseBenC:  usually... :-)  looking at their employment page doesn't say much about the conditions though06:28
btseand they respons slowly06:28
BenCwhat position are you interested in?06:29
zulbtse: i hear its a sweat shop ;)06:29
btsezul: yeah, me too06:29
BenCzul: I don't sweat, I prespire06:29
kylempfft, it's a sweet shop. all the candy i can possible want.06:29
zulheh06:29
btseBenC: well, I was just lookign around06:29
zulmmm...candy..06:29
pmjdebruijnzul, that's usually somewhere, where they have illegal immegrants working for next to no cash :p06:29
btseit could be fun to explore your hobby, getting payed for it, work for an international employer without having to relocate06:31
btsebut I suppose this is the wrong forum06:31
BenCbtse: there's lots of travel, and (not complaining, but) full-time usually == more than 40 hours for most of us06:31
KeybukBenC: well, that's the bogus bit I think06:32
Keybukit shouldn't be adding devices until it knows they exist06:32
btsetravel is fun, flying is great06:32
zulflying sometimes sucks06:32
btsewaiting yes, flying no06:32
BenCKeybuk: I'm not sure why there the platform_device_add occurs before the probe...but that also happened in edgy06:32
kylemflying is great once you get the hang of what not to do.06:32
kylemlike, don't stop flapping your arms.06:32
kylemeven if you get tired.06:33
BenClol06:33
btsehehe, yeah06:33
btseso BenC what's your position?06:33
BenCkernel dev06:33
btsehow did you come by it?06:34
BenCfriend06:34
btseah, and exactly what do you do? write drivers or mainly apply vanilla patches to the ubuntu kernel?06:35
BenCbugs, patches, feature development06:37
BenCare you interested in the kernel dev position?06:37
zulor major deity06:37
btseperhaps..06:37
btsesorry for interrogating you by the way :-)06:38
