[00:41] <Angelus> hi
[00:41] <Angelus> i made an apt-get source linux-source, and it gave me an empty linux-meta folder with a debian folder
[00:41] <Angelus> is this right?:S
[00:42] <Keybuk> Angelus: technically, yes ;)
[00:42] <Keybuk> since linux-source is an empty package that depends on the version of linux-source you want
[00:42] <Keybuk> (try apt-get source linux-source-2.6.22 :p)
[00:42] <Angelus> ahhh
[00:42] <Angelus> ok
[00:43] <Angelus> cause the guide on the wiki only says to do "apt-get source linux-source"
[00:43] <Angelus> hehe
[00:45] <Angelus> ok Keybuk it worked, thanks alot
[00:55] <Angelus> is it posible to run make menuconfig to edit one of the configs in /debian/config ?
[01:00] <zul> AngelusL: you would have to do something like cat one of the configs.* to config
[01:04] <Angelus> zul:  would doing "make menuconfig" in the kernel source tree, and saving to the .config , then copy it to /debian/config/amd64/config  do the trick ?
[01:17] <zul> Angelus: I would cp debian/config/amd64/config to your kernel source and then cat debian/config/amd64/config.generic to .config and then make menuconfig but its all in the wiki
[01:18] <Angelus> zul: the wiki only tells you to edit debian/config/amd64/config or the other flavours
[01:18] <Angelus> it doesnt state anything about menuconfig :p
[01:18] <zul> cat debian/config/am64/config > .config 
[01:18] <zul> cat debian/config/amd64/config.generic >> .config
[01:19] <zul> copy to your kernel source and then do make menuconfig
[01:25] <Angelus> zul: im having this error when i update the configs with debian/rules
[01:25] <Angelus> debian/scripts/misc/oldconfig: line 66: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22-2.6.22/debian/scripts/misc/splitconfig.pl: Permission denied
[01:25] <zul> dont run the script just do what I said and then run make menuconfig 
[01:26] <zul> im off to bed
[01:26] <Angelus> yes i know zul , but the guide says that after make menuconfig/ or editing the config you must update the configs with that script
[03:52] <thully> Hi - i'm trying to rebuild git snapshots of my kernel to test for a but and after one successful build, I'm now getting the following error...
[03:53] <thully> /usr/bin/fakeroot: 166: debian/rules: not found
[03:53] <thully> how do I get the debian/rules file to exist again?  I'm assuming the previous build destroyed it
[08:46] <chellwig> how do people write device drivers in c
[11:53] <dconway> hi
[11:53] <dconway> which ubuntu kernel supports webcam support
[11:53] <dconway> Bus 004 Device 002: ID 05ca:1837 Ricoh Co., Ltd         
[11:53] <dconway> no driver support for it yet?
[11:55] <dconway> any hints appreciated
[11:55] <dconway> does a diff version of the kernel matter?
[11:56] <dconway> anyone awake
[13:35] <Angelus> guys
[13:35] <Angelus> i compiled a custom kernel
[13:36] <Angelus> it created me a bunch of .deb files
[13:36] <Angelus> like sata-modules , pata-modules, 4 kenrel images, 4kernel headers
[13:36] <Angelus> do i need to install everything?
[13:38] <Angelus> iv got all these http://rafb.net/p/t0EQfD51.html
[13:39] <abogani> Angelus: udeb files are for installer only. You can ignore these.
[13:40] <Angelus> abogani: and the modules files? the ones like sata-modules? they're installer files?
[13:41] <abogani> Angelus: AFAIK Yes. All files with udeb extension working in Debian Installer only (aka alternate CD in Ubuntu slang).
[13:42] <Angelus> ahh
[13:42] <Angelus> ok
[13:42] <Angelus> thankz mate
[13:42] <Angelus> ok last question, for compiling the restricted modules, do i need to install every header package ? like generic, server, rt  and the rest?
[13:46] <abogani> I don't know, sorry.
[18:03] <zul> lamont: I like your dog grooming story
[18:05] <lamont> zul: THANKS
[18:05] <lamont> who hit that caps lock key
[21:52] <Angelus> hello
[21:52] <Angelus> i compiled the kernel sucesffuly using debian/rules, everything worked fine including restricted drivers, BUT adept is telling me to update from 2.6.22 to 2.6.22 i can't understand why. its the same version as the ubuntu's official version even the ABI number
[22:40] <Angelus> please somebody answer me i really need to fix this anoying issue :(
[22:50] <Nafallo> Angelus: it works as it is supposed to then...
[22:50] <Nafallo> Angelus: prefer the version from the repos if it is the same version.
[22:52] <gnomefreak> Angelus: you changed it that makes i < ubuntu versions (assuming you either didnt pass all the config options or you passed a config option ubuntu doesnt use
[23:12] <Nafallo> gnomefreak: no, why?
[23:12] <Nafallo> gnomefreak: I'm pretty sure it does what I wrote as well.
[23:13] <gnomefreak> Nafallo: if he changed config options and kept same version its gonna be < ubuntu version
[23:13] <Angelus> Nafallo:  and gnomefreak i didnt understand you
[23:13] <Angelus> it is the same version exacly
[23:13] <Angelus> even the abi
[23:13] <gnomefreak> Angelus: you compiled it and didnt change any config options?
[23:13] <Angelus> but adept is giving me un update to the repo version
[23:14] <Angelus> of course i changed config options
[23:14] <Nafallo> gnomefreak: if it's the exactly same name on the deb I'm pretty sure it compares what it has in the packagelist against the package that is actually installed.
[23:14] <Angelus> i change debian/config/amd64/config
[23:14] <gnomefreak> Nafallo: ubuntu version should rule over personal builds
[23:14] <gnomefreak> afaik
[23:14] <Nafallo> gnomefreak: that's what I tell you.
[23:15] <Angelus> hmm
[23:15] <gnomefreak> Angelus: just pin it if you dont want adept to complain
[23:15] <Angelus> is there  way i can change the abi number?
[23:15] <Angelus> g
[23:15] <Angelus> gnomefreak: "how to i pin it" ?
[23:15] <Angelus> *do
[23:16] <gnomefreak> Angelus: its a bad idea to keep same version that you build as ubuntus build because if you get them mixed up it can be issues on bug reports ect...
[23:16] <gnomefreak> !pinning
[23:16] <ubotu> pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[23:16] <gnomefreak> Angelus: my packages always have a higher version
[23:17] <Angelus> the guide says that doing "debian/rules binary" should generate a unique abi number, in my case it didn't it used same abi number as the kubuntu abi number
[23:21] <Angelus> gnomefreak: is there a way to generate a diferent abi number manually?
[23:21] <gnomefreak> Angelus: not sure im not a kernel dev
[23:22] <Angelus> so my only choise is pinning?
[23:25] <Angelus> Nafallo: do you know how to generate a diferent abi for a custom built kernel?
[23:37] <_Thelonius_> hi, anyone here?
[23:37] <_Thelonius_> i need help on the compiling of the kernel...
[23:37] <_Thelonius_> i cannot enable a module and i dunno why
[23:55] <Angelus> guys
[23:55] <Angelus> i discovered that my kernel package has a smaller size then the ubuntu kernel
[23:55] <Angelus> so i think thats why its telling me to upgrade?
