yuhongIn fairness however, Windows have a mode where NX is enabled for all apps.01:39
yuhongThat may catch some buffer overflows01:39
yuhonghttp://blogs.authentium.com/virusblog/?p=15601:39
yuhongUnfortuately, it is not set that way by default because of appcompat issues.01:40
yuhongAlso there is another reason to enable PAE. More than 4G of RAM requires PAE.01:44
yuhongThough using a x86-64 kernel is better if you can, with only 4G of RAM, PAE should suffice to access the part that is over the 4G physical address space boundary.01:45
yuhongBut that is secondary, the primary reason is NX.01:45
yuhongAnd yes, there are processors that support NX and PAE that does not support x64.01:46
yuhongMost of them have less than 4G through, so the primary reason is NX.01:46
yuhongTo enable PAE, that is.01:46
yuhongSolaris have a runtime option to enable PAE, so it have NX enabled by default.01:47

loolHi folks17:22
loolexmap is currently broken in Ubuntu but works fine in Debian; it seems to be dying when parsing /proc/*/maps; should I be aware of a major difference between the kernels which my eyes can't detect?17:32
loolThe parsing chokes on the getty processes which are launched by upstart instead of init17:33

lamontBenC: wondering... you care if you have to do your own installs?20:34
somerville32There is a bug in the linux kernel that prevents xfce4-battery-plugin from compiling and I'd like to have this merge done for the next alpha because it contains important patches we'd like tested. Basically, apm_event{,info}_t are userspace types but they got hidden behind #ifdef __KERNEL__ by mistake in commit ee8e7cfe9d330d6f1ce0b9b1620d6df5d9cf6b7021:21
somerville32I was wondering if the kernel team would be willing to apply the very non-invasive patch to correct this issue in the mean time since xfce4-battery-plugin isn't the only package FTBFS because of this.21:22
maks_is upstream notified?21:23
somerville32There is a thread on fa.linux.kernel21:23
somerville32Andrew Morton commented on it on the 12th21:24
rtg_somerville32: this is in apm_bios.h ?21:28
somerville32rtg_, yup21:28
rtg_somerville32: those 2 lines just need to be moved above '#ifdef __KERNEL__' ?21:29
somerville32Correct21:29
rtg_do you think it will happen upstream during the 2.6.24-rc window?21:30
somerville32There is nothing to indicate to me that it will but I have no metric for answering that question.21:32
rtg_somerville32: develop a patch and send it to kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com so I don't forget it.21:32
somerville32Ok21:32
somerville32Should I file a bug too?21:33
rtg_nah, seems trivial enough. especially during the development cycle.21:33
somerville32How long do you think this will take. I'd really like to be able to include xfce4-battery-plugin in Alpha 221:35
rtg_somerville32: I'll have it in before then. probably Monday.21:35
somerville32ok, thanks21:36
somerville32Ok21:48
somerville32e-mail sent21:48
_MMA_somerville32: Forget a subject there? ;)21:49
somerville32: (21:49
somerville32Now I feel like a loser.21:50
