| keegan | hey does one write device drivers in linux, knowledge of which programming lanuage is required, does one need to have the hardware the driver is being written for , do we need to have knowledge of hardware , are any tools require | 13:14 |
| zul | keegan: you probebly want #kernel | 13:16 |
| keegan | thanks zul | 13:16 |
| keegan | no response there | 13:19 |
| keegan | i guess its too broad a question | 13:19 |
| zul | oh they are all idiling | 13:19 |
| zul | but check google as well | 13:19 |
| keegan | i did , i read that you dont need to have hardware knowledge , but i dont understand how can one communicate with a device without it , or do you know have commands a device responds , i am sure different manufacturers have different workings | 13:21 |
| keegan | anyways ill repeat the question there at a later time . | 13:21 |
| abogani | Hi All! | 13:39 |
| abogani | Someone could give me a little suggestion? | 13:39 |
| abogani | I would be very happy to provide a debug version of the rt kernel flavour (in Hardy). | 13:40 |
| abogani | In you opinion what is the best way for achieve this objective? PPA, external apt archive, universe or other? | 13:40 |
| zul | i would start off with ppa | 13:40 |
| abogani | zul: Hi Chuck, Thanks! | 13:41 |
| abogani | zul: Have Xen kernel flavour a debug version? | 13:41 |
| zul | nope | 13:42 |
| abogani | In you opinion is it useless? In this case perhaps it's the same for rt kernel flavour... :-) | 13:44 |
| zul | abogani: we have never done it before for xen so I dont really have an opinnon | 13:44 |
| abogani | zul: Sorry i'm thinking that xen kernel patch added some useful CONFIG_DEBUG_* options... | 13:47 |
| zul | abogani: oh they did we just never enabled it | 13:47 |
| zul | bbl | 13:48 |
| abogani | zul: Debugging it isn't hard without these? | 13:48 |
| zul | most problesm is with userspace or me | 13:48 |
| abogani | zul: :-) | 13:53 |
| abogani | lamont: Could i disturb you for a minute? | 14:09 |
| lamont | abogani: now you may | 14:42 |
| abogani | lamont: Thanks. Is it possbile add cyclictest and signaltest (http://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Cyclictest & http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/rt-tests.git;a=summary) binaries into util-linux package? | 14:43 |
| abogani | I'm insane? :-) | 14:44 |
| lamont | given that they're maintained as separate packages upstream, I'm inclined to leave them as separate pacakges. | 14:45 |
| lamont | our util-linux currently has very little diff from upstream util-linux-ng, and the objective is to minimize that difference, if for no other reason than my sanity, and conformity across the linux space. | 14:46 |
| * lamont is not a big fan of aggregating multiple upstream sources into one debian package | 14:46 | |
| lamont | OTOH, I have no objection to helping someone who wants to package those two packages for upload to either debian or ubuntu | 14:47 |
| lamont | (are they already packaged in debian???_ | 14:47 |
| lamont | ) | 14:47 |
| abogani | No unfortunately. | 14:47 |
| abogani | will go to packaging... :-) | 14:47 |
| abogani | I will go to packaging but first i should read REVU wiki page :) | 14:49 |
| abogani | lamont: Thank you very much. Excuse me for disturb. | 14:49 |
| lamont | abogani: no worries | 14:54 |
| zul | hey lamont | 14:55 |
| lamont | mornin | 14:55 |
| lamont | zul: going to uds? | 15:00 |
| zul | lamont: i wish | 15:01 |
| lamont | ah - figured you were close by, iirc | 15:01 |
| zul | 8 hour drive to boston besides lack of funds and cant get time off work | 15:01 |
| zul | lamont: are you? | 15:02 |
| lamont | I'll be there sun-thur PM (fly out really early friday) | 15:03 |
| zul | cool | 15:03 |
| zul | and I would have to renew my passport as well | 15:05 |
| zul | thank you george bush | 15:06 |
| bronson | I set /etc/usplash.conf to 800x600, ran update-initramfs -u, and bootsplash uses 832x624!? | 18:10 |
| bronson | This makes my LCD freak out. Can anyone tell me how to pursue this further? | 18:10 |
| bronson | (hope it's not the wrong channel; this seems most appropriate b/c it's kernel boot...) | 18:11 |
| bronson | mjg59: should I report this as a bug? 800x600 in usplash.conf produces 832x624 on boot? | 18:16 |
| bronson | Sounds like I'm being bitten by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/62865 ... guess I'll try the attached patch. | 18:36 |
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 62865 in usplash "1024x768 with nVidia GeForce4 Ti 4800 SE: "screen init failed" (dup-of: 60621)" [Undecided,New] | 18:36 |
