| poningru | quick question, is the gutsy kernel currently the .22 rc or are we still on .21? | 12:37 |
|---|---|---|
| poningru | need it for tribe1 walkthrough | 12:40 |
| crimsun | the latest, 6.13, merged 22-rc3 | 12:42 |
| crimsun | it's noted in the changelog. | 12:42 |
| === ..[topic/#ubuntu-kernel:crimsun] : Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | Kernel Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam | Latest kernel upload: 2.6.22-6.13 | Latest news: -rt and -xen kernels removed, failures in patch | linux-meta uploaded for gutsy 2.6.22 kernels. | New Kernel Team machine: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/ | ||

| BenC | crimsun: thanks | 12:50 |
| poningru | awesome | 12:51 |
| poningru | thanks | 12:51 |
| BenC | and 6.13 will definitely be what tribe1 gets released with | 12:51 |
| poningru | another question: will SLUB be used? | 01:12 |
| BenC | it already is | 01:13 |
| BenC | has been for a few weeks now | 01:13 |
| poningru | awesome | 01:14 |
| poningru | thanks | 01:14 |
| BenC | np | 01:14 |
| BenC | poningru: since you're doing release notes, please add in there that all of our third party modules and added firmware have moved to linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22, and that users need to ensure that they have linux meta packages installed for proper upgrades | 01:15 |
| poningru | sweet will put that under upgrade notes | 01:15 |
| BenC | mainly linux-generic | 01:15 |
| BenC | thanks | 01:15 |

| crimsun | but sure, I'll once-over it, though I'm by no means comprehensive for all changes. | 05:22 |
| crimsun | poningru: would you like me to outline suggestions in #ubuntu-doc or just make changes? | 05:27 |

| crimsun | edited. | 05:45 |
| crimsun | (also may wish to mention continuing work with powersaving: install powertop from universe) | 05:48 |
| poningru | only available in gutsy right? | 05:55 |
| crimsun | correct, but you -are- writing Tribe1 notes, so... | 06:00 |

| iwj | Anyone here who'd like to comment on a crazy crazy plan I'm concocting ? | 06:23 |
| iwj | It's for a weird kind of test harness. The basic idea is to have the kernel kmalloc a huge buffer and write some trace information into it in a circular buffer style. It would be read out later by using /dev/mem. | 06:24 |
| iwj | How big a piece of contiguous ram can I allocate this way ? | 06:25 |
| iwj | And as a not-currently-kernel-hacker how doomed am I ? (I've done dev work on unix kernels in the past so I'm not completely ignorant) | 06:28 |
| === amitk [n=amit@a81-197-135-210.elisa-laajakaista.fi] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| iwj | https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/full-filesystem-sanity-gutsy is the relevant spec; wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootLoginWithFullFilesystem. | 07:16 |
| iwj | I'd appreciate comments from you guys ... | 07:16 |
| mjg59 | Hm. It's an interesting idea. | 07:18 |
| mjg59 | I kind of wonder whether a ramfs based solution would be possible | 07:19 |
| mjg59 | kmalloc isn't a great plan. Stuff allocated that way is unswappable. | 07:20 |
| mjg59 | I'm also not sold on the requirement for it to be contiguous. Providing some method for dumping it out of the kernel would be easy enough | 07:21 |

| maks_ | do you guys deploy nouveau already? | 10:42 |
| kylem | no. | 10:44 |
| kylem | airlied asked me not to because they hadn't decided to freeze their drm abi. | 10:44 |
| kylem | ... then fedora went and did it. | 10:44 |
| === gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
| kylem | anyway, keeping xf86-video-nouveau and kernel driver in sync would be a massive pain in my ass. | 10:46 |
| maks_ | ok and how is the fedora feedback? | 10:48 |
| kylem | no clue. | 10:48 |
| kylem | the thought of building the kernel modules externally and shipping them with the X driver occured to me, and i did a bit of work on it, but i don't think nouveau is ready for a deluge of user bug reports. | 10:49 |
| maks_ | 22:51 <jima> fedora 7 shipped with nouveau, iirc, but not enabled by default. | 10:50 |
| maks_ | so will gone unnoticed mostly | 10:51 |
| kylem | yeah | 10:51 |
| kylem | 'nv' is improving a bit recently. | 10:51 |
| kylem | so perhaps nvidia is trying to deflect some criticism. | 10:51 |

| === luka74 [n=lure@89-212-19-55.dynamic.dsl.t-2.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel | ||
