[03:21] <zul> morning
[03:39] <kylem> morning.
[07:01] <zul> BenC: ping
[07:01] <BenC> zul: pong
[07:01] <zul> BenC: it looks like there is a coupld of problems with xen 3.0.4 freezing, i think we should stick with 3.0.3 and backport the framebuffer stuff
[07:02] <BenC> zul: sounds good
[07:02] <zul> because basically all what 3.0.4 is framebuffer, kexec and ia64
[07:04] <zul> http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-12/msg00691.html
[07:05] <zul> and then we can just use the patch for 2.6.19 from redhat
[08:27] <zul> is there a way to mangle kernel-package so it overries the default names in the control file?
[09:06] <kinema> I'm interested in a kernel patched with the d80211/devicescape/wireless-dev tree and was wondering if I would need to compile a custom kernel or if there might be something already availiable.
[09:36] <BenC> kinema: I'm hoping to have it integrated with feisty soon
[09:37] <mjg59> BenC: I sent you that patch and everything :p
[09:37] <BenC> I know, I need to get it in there :P
[09:37] <mjg59> Ha
[09:37] <kinema> BenC: You are a truly wonderful person.
[09:38] <kinema> Overworked and underpaid I'm sure.
[09:38] <BenC> thanks, but mjg59 did all the actual work...I'm just the procrastinator who'll eventually integrate it with the kernel image :)
[09:38] <kinema> Well then I retract my statement and redirect it towards mjg59.
[09:39] <lifeless> BenC: ignore my question from the other day - my hardware is fucked.
[09:40] <BenC> lifeless: excellent
[09:40] <zul> BenC: you just collect the spew
[09:40] <BenC> well, not for you, but for the bug
[09:41] <lifeless> BenC: :)
[09:41] <lifeless> BenC: dell are replacing the motherboard and ram today hopefully. So excellent for me too. :)
[09:42] <Mithrandir> BenC: speaking of kernel patches, it seems like the console switching one that mjg59 talked about some time ago wasn't removed in the latest upload?
[09:42] <BenC> Mithrandir: removed?
[09:42] <Mithrandir> the patch was to remove some console switching calls on resume.
[09:42] <BenC> I did add a patch that disabled the console handling by power-management
[09:42] <Mithrandir> hmm
[09:43] <Mithrandir> then why doesn't it appear to work on my laptop.
[09:43] <BenC> It's in -5.7
[09:43] <BenC> make sure you have -5.7 and not -4.6
[09:43] <Mithrandir> ah, the laptop's still on -4
[09:44] <Mithrandir> I'll test with the new kernel and bug you if it's not fixed there then. :-)
[09:44] <BenC> -5.7 is where it went in
[09:44] <Mithrandir> thanks.
[09:44] <BenC> np
[09:52] <kinema> BenC: Not to be pushy but when might we expect to see a d80211 enabled Ubuntu kernel, unofficial, prerelease or otherwise.
[09:52] <mjg59> BenC: There still seem to have been some dropped ACPI patches
[09:52] <BenC> not to sound vague, but when I get it done..I've no idea
[09:53] <mjg59> BenC: The toshiba_hotkeys_over_acpi thing vanished
[09:53] <BenC> mjg59: forward porting ACPI patches was ugly...I dropped a lot
[09:53] <mjg59> BenC: It'd be good if you could email me with the list of dropped patches
[09:53] <BenC> I'll add that one to the list of things to get back in
[09:53] <mjg59> Otherwise it's almost impossible to figure out what needs forward porting
[09:53] <mjg59> Some of them may have been merged, others might just fail to apply due to churn
[09:56] <BenC> ok
[09:58] <mjg59> Thanks
[09:59] <mjg59> There's a decent amount of this stuff that still isn't mainstream
[09:59] <mjg59> Which is a right pain
