unhappywhere i can read about Kconfig files03:44
pmjdebruijnunhappy, I have no clue, but usually I look for examples in other Kconfig files to suit my needs03:46
unhappyok03:47
pmjdebruijnunhappy, sorry, that wasn't extremely helpful I know... but it's the best I can do... maybe wait around for someone else to suggest something03:48
unhappymaybe you know, do i have to somethink after editing kconfig file, to see changes in make menuconfig?03:48
unhappy*to do03:48
pmjdebruijnnot that I know of03:48
pmjdebruijnunhappy, I should show right away03:48
pmjdebruijnunhappy, I could be that you need to add something at a lower level03:48

pmjdebruijnVoX, www.launchpad.net just like all the other bugs, just file it against the kernel package you are currently using03:54

sitsHi, can someone fill me in on what direction https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/116996 is going to take?08:32
sitsoops wrong bug08:33
sitsBug #11731408:33
sitshttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/11731408:34
sitsIs the current thinking that all associated bugs are to be closed when the -17 kernel is released?08:36
sitsAnd what's the current advice to be given to people who have yet to upgrade to -16 but are ICH4/ICH5 owners?08:36

lupo527hello10:10
lupo527got a question about getting into kernel development10:11
lupo527anybody there :)10:13
krautno, sorry10:14
lupo527heh10:14
krautyou should point your question more specific10:14
lupo527hey i am wanting to get into kernel dev and i was wondering if there is anything wrong with doing it in vmware10:15
lupo527if i just wanted to develop for the x86 arch for example is there any problem with doing kernel dev in a virtual machine as opposed to real hardware?10:15
krautnot really, depends if you want to develope hardware-drivers or just other things.10:16
lupo527more interested in things like the scheduler and memory management10:17
lupo527and i have limited hardware options10:17
krautshould be a good possibility to test your stuff, but generally you should do a final test on real-hardware. but anyhow a vmware should be good enough.10:18
lupo527excellent thanks10:18
lupo527i didn't think it would be a problem but i wanted to ask the more experienced ;)10:20
krauti am stupid10:20
lupo527heh but you hand out in kernel dev channels?10:21
lupo527:P10:21
lupo527hang*10:21
krauti am just spamming stupid stuff around10:21
JanClupo527: it's a good way to prevent breaking your system  ;)10:22
JanCafter a kernel upgrade, check this channel for 2 hours, and if there is no invasion of lamenting people, it's probably safe  :)10:22
lupo527can i ask a kind of more generic question: how did you guys get started in kernel dev, seems the overhead to getting started is kind of high10:23
JanCespecially when using the development version10:23
JanCI didn't & most likely won't  :)10:23
lupo527hard to know where to start10:23
lupo527heh okay ;)10:24
krautJanC: hrhr, cool idea of quality-management *g*10:28

sitslupo527: there's plenty of material out there11:29
sitslupo527: I've been trying to crack it for years but haven't gotten to far11:29
sitslupo527: you should definitely check out LDD311:29
sitslupo527: http://lwn.net/Kernel/LDD3/11:30
sitslupo527: http://kernelnewbies.org/ also has a slew of material11:30
sitslupo527: http://kernelnewbies.org/CareerAdvice seems to be on similar lines to what you're asking about here11:31
sitslupo527: if you don't mind looking at something other than Linux check out Minix11:32
sitslupo527: http://www.minix3.org/11:32
sitslupo527: because its meant for teaching a lot of the code is simpler to understand than that of Linux (but it doesn't run as fast or do as much or run on as many platforms)11:33

sits(e.g. it's floppy driver doesn't look nearly as ugly as Linux's)11:41
