calcBenC: i noticed something a bit off with my laptop, may be common though, it works fine for resume in i386 but won't in amd64 when it tries to resume it looks like it almost comes back but the xserver doesn't come up and i can't get to different tty's, i see the resume kernel(?) messages though on the screen01:26
crimsunBenC: could we build the OSS/Free opl3{,sa{,2}} sound drivers?  Because libasound2-plugins (containing the OSS alsa-lib plugin) is in main, we can easily let users with that hardware use Ubuntu apps01:31
crimsunno one's stepping forward to fix snd-opl3sa2, so the sabdfl's "have sound work out of the box" may be resolved most easily in this manner01:32
BenCcrimsun: ok, can you file a bug please?01:33
BenCcalc: odd, haven't seen that before01:33
calcBenC: perhaps i'll let you look at it in London :)01:53
BenCcalc: ok02:00

bremenbeckhiya... daft question that causes me a whole pile of grief06:43
bremenbeckI think I'm up to date with the patches and all.. and I know how to edit boot code06:43
bremenbeckroot@harold:~# uname -a06:43
bremenbeckLinux harold 2.6.20-16-386 #2 Thu Jun 7 20:16:13 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux06:43
bremenbeckso then this gets in the boot...06:44
bremenbeckroot@harold:~# grep -i default /boot/grub/menu.lst | egrep 'kernel|Ubun' | grep -v \# | head -106:44
bremenbecktitle           Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.18-028test007 Default06:44
bremenbeckand not the  2.6.20-16-38606:44
bremenbeck  /boot/grub/menu.lst seems to always break06:45
bremenbeckI have to have missed something... but every time I apt-get update, the kernel comes up on that pesky 2.6.18-028test00706:46
bremenbeckno matter what I do06:46
bremenbeckI'll try and delete it *again*...  wish me luck06:51

bjegood day!03:04
bjeI'm trying to compile linux-kernel-di-i38603:04
bjeBut I get "missing module ide-core"03:05
bjewhen I do a "fakeroot debian/rules binary"03:05
bjeany hints?03:05
=== Bugsbang [n=Bonny@fw-mq.mediaserv.net] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
bjecjwatson: you about?03:33
=== johanbr [n=j@JBrannlund.MathStat.Dal.Ca] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
cjwatsonbje: linux-kernel-di-i386 doesn't work with Ubuntu kernels; the Ubuntu kernels build the udebs themselves04:05
=== unhappy [n=justinas@78-60-112-31.ip.zebra.lt] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
cjwatson(besides, even linux-kernel-di-i386 in upstream d-i svn was designed for 2.4 kernels; there's a -2.6 variant for 2.6 kernels; but you don't want that either on Ubuntu for the reason above)04:06
bjecjwatson: I build my kernel like this: 'fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version="-claranet" kernel_image kernel_headers', I do not get any udebs.  What am I doing wrong then?04:07
bjecjwatson: this is the actual problem I'm trying to solve: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2007-June/000493.html :)04:09
cjwatsonbje: the udeb building is done by debian/rules, not make-kpkg04:10
cjwatsonso you would need to use the Ubuntu kernel source with 'debian/rules build-images' or similar04:10
cjwatson(or whatever the rune is on dapper; but it won't involve make-kpkg)04:10
cjwatson2.6.20 is going to be extremely hard to make work with dapper; IIRC there were incompatible changes affecting things like udev04:11
kylemright.04:11
bjecjwatson: suggestions then for making my RAID controller work with Dapper?04:13
cjwatsonsorry, I am but a humble installer guy; if the kernel doesn't work I tend to punt to these guys04:13
bjeAh ok, cool. I'm in the right channel, though?04:13
kylemfor the installer, you're kind of boned.04:14
=== mjg59_ [n=mjg59@cavan.codon.org.uk] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
bjeSo what exactly is the point of running a LTS then? :)04:15
kylemcustom kernel for your hw + empty udebs is probably the easiest thing.04:15
cjwatsonbje: the only reason we can manage to support dapper for 5 years is that we *aren't* trying to upgrade the kernel constantly ...04:15
bjeI see.04:16
cjwatsonso yes, support is sometimes confined to hardware where it worked at time of release04:16
cjwatsonthere has been some talk of possibly backporting a newer kernel to dapper in future04:16
cjwatsonbecause obviously a number of people have this kind of issue04:16
cjwatsonbut that's not in place yet04:16
cjwatsonbje: if you have to have 2.6.20 on dapper, it would probably be less painful to work via the live CD04:17
cjwatsonthat way you can experiment more easily with upgrading other components like udev, and you won't have to mess around with udebs04:17
cjwatsonand yes, that would involve a process other than PXE boot / kickstart04:17
cjwatson(more like install once and clone the disk)04:17
=== ivoks [n=ivoks@78-0-136-78.adsl.net.t-com.hr] has joined #ubuntu-kernel
shawarmakylem: We're getting more and more people in #ubuntu-server asking for backported drivers for various new raid controllers and that sort of thing.. What happened to the the 2.6.15-50.whatever kernel?04:26
kylemshawarma, i have Real Work(tm) to do...04:27
kylemthat and it became clear after the first time i did it that it was a Really Really Bad Idea.04:27
shawarmakylem: Erm? Oh, I didn't know it was kind of a personal experiment. I thought it was a serious stab at trying to provide updated drivers.04:28
kylemit was the first time we'd ever done it.04:28
shawarmakylem: Right. Let me rephrase: I thought that it itself constituted "real work(tm)"..04:29
shawarmakylem: but no?04:29
kylemwell, nobody has assigned it to me to do again, so...04:29
kylembesides, if we don't respin the installers, what's the point?04:32
shawarmaNone.04:32
shawarmaI would expect new installer CD's, too.04:32
shawarmaI'll take it up at the meeting today.04:32
kylemyes, well, you can do the backports then. :P04:34
=== shawarma screams and hides behind the door
kylemyou learn quick.04:34
zullol04:34
shawarmaWhat's the idea going forward, then? The issue is only going to get worse. More frequent LTS's?04:36
shawarmaThat's going to cost us even more time.04:36
kylemnot my place to say; i'm just relaying my experience.04:40
BenCshawarma: backporting drivers is tedious and usually not very helpful without CDs...unfortunate as well that we don't have driver-updates feature in dapper04:51
BenCshawarma: as cjwatson said, we are seriously considering a kernel backport to dapper, but it's very tedious as well04:51
BenCwe have to look at what userspace backporting we'll also need to do04:51
kylem"lots"04:52
kylemi think even python updates end up in the dep chain unless we fork packages.04:52
fabbionenever mind the installer bits to cope with the other user land changes04:53
kylemsomehow hal needs the new python version...04:53
fabbioneit's probably easier to take feisty and turn it LTS04:53
shawarmaHow does RedHat cope with this?04:54
kylemshawarma, uh, hundreds of engineers.04:54
fabbionewith big $$$04:54
fabbione:)04:54
shawarmakylem: I see.04:54
kylemwell, certainly more than 5.04:55
zulheh need more community people then ;)04:55
kylemheh. while i certainly value the community, i don't think we could convince them to work on something so tedious and menial.04:55
zulkylem: been there done that04:55
kylemespecially not when all the fun is to be had on ubuntu+104:56
shawarmakylem: Yeah. Ubuntu-3 is nowhere near as fun :)04:56
