Krystof31857 is the one I was thinking of07:51

Krystof(the patch that I have seen somewhere is to remove the lock_irqsave/unlock_irqrestore in that function; I doubt it's correct, but it probably deals with the immediate symptoms)07:53
dieguito_right now, the problems with the r818x thing are: locks when uploading files or doing lot of stuff via wifi, no multicast support, truncated essid names, no accurate signal strength07:54
Krystofthe locks can be worked around by using a -386 kernel, too07:56

Nafallomjg59: hi mate, around?08:19
mjg59Nafallo: Hi08:19
Nafallomjg59: if I was sick of dell and consider buying a lenovo. which one would be a good choice if you know of hand?08:20
mjg59Nothing in the 3000 range08:21
Nafallomjg59: dell wants one and a half month to deliver a D630, so screw them ;-)08:21
Nafallomjg59: oki, thinkpad it is. more specific or are those all good ones? :-)08:21
mjg59Depends what you're looking for08:22
mjg59They should all work fairly similarly08:22
mjg59Though I've only direct experience of the T6108:22
Nafallobasically something to pick with me out on the datacenters if need be, but also sitting home and from time to time compiling stuff.08:23
Nafallobasically.08:23
NafalloX is to damn small I think. how is the T-series?08:23
mjg59Fine08:26
mjg59I think the 42/43 were nicer, but they're still very competent08:26
Nafallokewl. I'll probably end up with that then. thank you so much! :-)08:26
bullgard4How can I read out the ECDT?08:28
mjg59acpidump08:28
bullgard4sudo acpidump outputs DSDT, FACS, FACP, APIC, BOOT, MCFG, SSDT RSDT, RSD, PTR but no ECDT. (http://ubuntuusers.de/paste/15169/)08:46
bullgard4/proc/acpi/embedded_controller/EC0/info contains: "gpe: 0x17; ports: 0x66, 0x62; use global lock: no".08:49

jetsaredimis it possible/likely to get an updated version of vmware-server-kernel-modules for gutsy in the near future?09:45
jetsaredimor - better yet - is there a way for me to be able to build the module for my system?09:53
kylemhmm. you raise a good question.09:57
jetsaredimwhich?09:57
kylemwhere did the vmware modules go?09:58
kylemthey're still in the source package, heh.09:58

rtgkylem: Does bug #141298 make any sense to you? These are Intel graphics platforms.10:39
ubotuLaunchpad bug 141298 in dell "Intel video card 8086:2a02 blacklisted, can't run compiz" [High,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/14129810:39
bullgard4I downloaded the DEB program package pmtools and installed it. But 'apropos acpidisasm' cannot find anything suitable. How to diassemble the DSDT?10:41
mjg59rtg: Yes, that's deliberate10:41
mjg59965 doesn't support Xv with composite10:42
rtgmjg59: I guess I don't understand enough about compiz and Xv.10:42
mjg59XAA + composite = no video on 96510:42
mjg59Which is awkward10:43
rtgmjg59: This is something Jose used to be able to do. e.g., compiz --replace to fix fubar'd compiz after saving his session.10:44
mjg59Right. Compiz will now not run on 965.10:45
rtgmjg59: Does that mean no 3D effects?10:46
mjg59Yes10:47
rtgmjg59: Can you point me to some info or rationale for this? I need to wrap my head around it 'cause Jose is gonna have a cow.10:48
Keybukrtg: i965 doesn't support the necessary pieces for video to work without using EXA10:50
Keybukso you can have whizz-bang 3D effects, but no porn10:51
mjg59rtg: The -intel driver doesn't support accelerated video playback when using a composited desktop unless you're using the EXA acceleration architecture, which we aren't10:51
mjg59Video playback is more important than desktop effects10:51
rtgSo, this is really a feature :)10:52
mjg59Yes10:52
JanCmjg59: I'm sure a computer with a 965 can easily play video with compiz enabled, but without using Xv ?10:58
mjg59JanC: In HD? No.10:59
JanCwell, most porn isn't in HD I guess?  :P11:00
bdmurraybug 141082 might need some attention11:15
ubotuLaunchpad bug 141082 in linux-source-2.6.22 "Only one CPU core recognized in Gutsy after updates" [High,Triaged]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/14108211:15
JanCwell, at least I can play DVDs on my 1.33 GHz Core Duo laptop with 945 graphics, without using Xv (and while using compiz...)11:19
jetsaredimi'm running that kernel on my pentium d and i can see both cores11:20
mjg59Anyway, there's no decent way of autodetecting whether to use Xv or not11:20
rtgbdmurray: read the followup. He was running the 386 (UP) kernel.11:20
rtgbdmurray: never mind. brain damage.11:22
bdmurrayrtg: That is one out of 4 commentors11:22
kylemi suspect he doesn't have an mpbios and as such, without acpi there's no hope of finding the other cpu11:24
mjg59Yeah. You're not going to get more than one processor on any modern machine unless booting with acpi11:25
bdmurrayWhat is this commentor's issue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/141082/comments/511:26
ubotuLaunchpad bug 141082 in linux-source-2.6.22 "Only one CPU core recognized in Gutsy after updates" [High,Triaged]  11:26
kylem[    5.324000]  CPU #1 not responding - cannot use it.11:27
mjg59bdmurray: That's clearly a different bug to the filed one11:28
bdmurrayhrm, its too bad comments aren't movable then11:29
mjg59rtg: I suspect someone's going to have to manage Jose's expectations. Gutsy will not be shipping with compiz on 965.12:34
