[12:56] <salty-horse> when removing the old linux-image-2.6.20-13-generic package, I got this warning: "You shouldn't call /sbin/update-grub. Please call /usr/sbin/update-grub instead!"
[01:20] <maks_> check your /etc/kernel-img.conf
[01:21] <maks_> if there is a grub path there around
[01:21] <maks_> anyway better ask on #ubuntu
[01:22] <salty-horse> yup - it's set to /sbin/update-grub 
[01:22] <salty-horse> do you know what package generates it?
[01:23] <salty-horse> (I upgraded from edgy so maybe it's a leftover)
[01:24] <maks_> edit it to /usr/sbin/update-grub :)
[01:25] <maks_> it won't be needed for gutsy anymore afaik
[01:26] <salty-horse> just did. thanks!

[04:54] <harkonnnen_> hi
[04:54] <harkonnnen_> !
[04:54] <jbailey> THE SUPPORT PERSON CANNOT BE THWARTED! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
[04:54] <harkonnnen_> can somebody  help me ?? 
[04:54] <jbailey> BenC: If it's useful, I suppose I could do a bisect backwards.
[04:55] <harkonnnen_> i have a problem tryng to install a module
[04:55] <harkonnnen_> in ubuntu 
[04:55] <harkonnnen_> can somebody  help me ?? 
[04:57] <harkonnnen_> can somebody  help me ?? 
[04:58] <BenC> jbailey: yeah, that would actually be very helpful
[04:59] <jbailey> 'k.  Since the failure was between -1 and -3, it hopefully shouldn't take too long.  I'll try and do that over the course of the weekend.
[05:00] <BenC> jbailey: FYI, you should bisect the v2.6.21 and v2.6.22-rc1 tags, which wont include the ubuntu build, but you can use make-kpkg just as easily
[05:00] <BenC> -1 was 2.6.21 and .3 was .22-rc1
[05:00] <kylem> what's the failure?
[05:00] <jbailey> BenC: So just use pristine linus?
[05:00] <BenC> -3 even
[05:00] <BenC> yeah

[12:09] <micahcowan> Why do all entries in the kernel changelog for non-upstream changes have "GIT-SHA" lines, and what are they hashes for?
[12:13] <crimsun> micahcowan: don't use debdiff.  Use git-format-patch(1) [hopefully you've installed git-core] .
[12:14] <crimsun> micahcowan: the GIT-SHA lines no longer appear in gutsy.  The hashes refer to git commits.
[12:17] <micahcowan> crimsun, thanks. If I've made changes to fs/ncpfs/file.c, fs/reiserfs/file.c, and /mm/filemap.c, should the changelog entry start with "* fs,mm:" ? And what else might I need to know about special formatting for changelog entries?
