aboganiamitk: Are you around? May i disturb you with a couple of simple questions?08:03
amitkabogani: yes?08:03
aboganiamitk: about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2007-December/001948.html08:04
aboganiamitk: Should i provide patches for enable building fo the rt flavour and for add rt packages into control file?08:05
amitkabogani: if you can provide those patches, it will speed up the process. Otherwise one of us will have to spend time enabling and testing the build.08:06
aboganiamitk: Ok. I start working on.08:07
amitkabogani: thanks08:08
aboganiamitk: Thank you.08:16
aboganiamitk: Mhhhh. Seems to me that http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=debian/binary-custom.d/README is outdate...08:32
amitkabogani: you are right. While moving to the new tree, one of my patches has gone missing. It should be like this: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-gutsy.git;a=blob;hb=HEAD;f=debian/binary-custom.d/README09:00
aboganiamitk: I have a doubt. For add a custom kernel this link say to edit debian/rules.d/ARCH.mk file but seems to me that only necessary change is in debian/rules.d/0-common-vars.mk at line 92 (all_custom_flavours). 09:05
aboganihenrix: Hi Luis, Good news: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2007-December/001948.html10:13
henrixabogani: hi! just saw the mail in the list :)10:17
henrixabogani: that's nice ;)10:17
henrixI'll just clone it ;)10:17
aboganihenrix: I already do a short test on my i386 (x86_32) desktop and it works fine.10:21
henrixabogani: tonight I'll try it on my laptop and maybe on a amd64. I'll let you know if I have any problem10:23
aboganihenrix: Ok. Thank you.10:26
henrixabogani: np :)10:27
aboganiSomeone could suggest me where i can buy Ubuntu pre-installed systems? Or at least deliver their products in Italy? I'm live in Italy.... Thank you!11:07
gaspaabogani: good question. :)11:13

austenGood afternoon. Hoping someone here can help me with why 7.10 i386 desktop edition kernel dies on boot up after install, as well as from the install CD directly.21:05
austenGetting "BUG: ubable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000" with a further "abnormal exit from /sbin/modprobe"21:06
austenBoot sequence ends with /root/device does not exist.21:07
superm1the 2.6.22 ubuntu kernel can't recognize lzma compressed squashfs filesystems can it?21:39
mjg59No21:42
superm1that would explain some things then.  lzma appears to be the default for mksquashfs as of hardy21:45
superm1when will 2.6.24 go active as default for hardy then?21:45
austenI have a question about the difference in IDE support between 2.6.17-i386 and 2.6.22-14-i386 kernels. The kernel that ships standard with 7.10 fails to mount my root partition, saying "ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist..."22:19
austenHmmn.. 2.6.20 seems to boot...22:25
Nafalloausten: #ubuntu22:25
Nafalloausten: this is not a support channel22:25
austenYeah... Tried there.. Sorry for bugging you.22:26
jayson_ranyone active in here?22:37

jayson_rI was just wondering how to get involved with the kernel team - it's my biggest area of interest - although I'm not a 'coder' I would love to learn more about making the configs, building the packages, etc, as well as testing out new builds and filing bug reports, etc. - that is if you have room for a 'student' on the kernel team...22:51
* Nafallo waits for one of the employees to answer that one.22:52
jayson_rSo, I take it from that answer, only Employee's work on the Kernel? If so, that's cool - I just thought I would ask :-)22:53
Nafallono22:53
jayson_roh ok.22:53
Nafallothat's not the case, but "student" sounds like you want a teacher.22:53
henrixjayson_r: you can start here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile22:53
jayson_rWell, I need 'direction' - I don't know where to start22:53
jayson_rhenrix: Thanks!22:54
henrix(no, I am not a Canonical employee :) )22:54
jayson_rhenrix: I know that much - I know the mechanics of how to complie a kernel, etc., just need direction on how to get involved and contribute back to the distro22:55
henrixjayson_r: ok, so you just need to follow the links on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam22:55
henrixjayson_r: ah! and you can also create an account on LP and take a look on bug reports ;)22:56
jayson_rhenrix: THATS the info I was looking for - thank you so much - BTW, I'm already on LP https://launchpad.net/~jayson-r 22:57
henrixjayson_r: np ;)22:57
henrixjayson_r: good luck then :-)22:57

jayson_rhenrix: Thanks again!22:58
zuljayson_r: no anyone can work on the kernel, bug triaging is a good place to start 23:50
* Nafallo count zul as employee ;-)23:51
zulNafallo: no im not23:51
Nafallozul: yes you are. but not of that company :-)23:52
jayson_rThanks guys - I just joined the Kernel Bugs team in LP23:55
jayson_rSo, I assume I look through https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs and find something I can fix?23:56
lamontBenC: is the logic that anyone who wants to be on kernel bugs deserves it?23:56
lamont:-)23:57
lamontBenC: doing the installs on on the christmas presents today, fwiw23:57
lamontso, uh, christmas is gonna be late23:57
zuljayson_r: sure i would just go through the kernel team docs to see if the bug reports provide enough information first23:57
jayson_rzul: reading through docs as we type23:59
zuljayson_r: cool23:59
