[13:39] Hi All! [13:39] Someone could give me a little suggestion? [13:40] I would be very happy to provide a debug version of the rt kernel flavour (in Hardy). [13:40] In you opinion what is the best way for achieve this objective? PPA, external apt archive, universe or other? [13:40] i would start off with ppa [13:41] zul: Hi Chuck, Thanks! [13:41] zul: Have Xen kernel flavour a debug version? [13:42] nope [13:44] In you opinion is it useless? In this case perhaps it's the same for rt kernel flavour... :-) [13:44] abogani: we have never done it before for xen so I dont really have an opinnon [13:47] zul: Sorry i'm thinking that xen kernel patch added some useful CONFIG_DEBUG_* options... [13:47] abogani: oh they did we just never enabled it [13:48] bbl [13:48] zul: Debugging it isn't hard without these? [13:48] most problesm is with userspace or me [13:53] zul: :-) [14:09] lamont: Could i disturb you for a minute? [14:42] abogani: now you may [14:43] 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? [14:44] I'm insane? :-) [14:45] given that they're maintained as separate packages upstream, I'm inclined to leave them as separate pacakges. [14:46] 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 [14:47] OTOH, I have no objection to helping someone who wants to package those two packages for upload to either debian or ubuntu [14:47] (are they already packaged in debian???_ [14:47] ) [14:47] No unfortunately. [14:47] will go to packaging... :-) [14:49] I will go to packaging but first i should read REVU wiki page :) [14:49] lamont: Thank you very much. Excuse me for disturb. [14:54] abogani: no worries [14:55] hey lamont [14:55] mornin [15:00] zul: going to uds? [15:01] lamont: i wish [15:01] ah - figured you were close by, iirc [15:01] 8 hour drive to boston besides lack of funds and cant get time off work [15:02] lamont: are you? [15:03] I'll be there sun-thur PM (fly out really early friday) [15:03] cool [15:05] and I would have to renew my passport as well [15:06] thank you george bush [18:10] I set /etc/usplash.conf to 800x600, ran update-initramfs -u, and bootsplash uses 832x624!? [18:10] This makes my LCD freak out. Can anyone tell me how to pursue this further? [18:11] (hope it's not the wrong channel; this seems most appropriate b/c it's kernel boot...) [18:16] mjg59: should I report this as a bug? 800x600 in usplash.conf produces 832x624 on boot? [18:36] Sounds like I'm being bitten by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usplash/+bug/62865 ... guess I'll try the attached patch.
