[00:05] <arcticpenguin380> would it be possible to add reiser4 in the ubuntu kernel in hardy +1?
[00:09] <_MMA_> arcticpenguin380: I'm sure when it's ready, it will be.
[00:10] <arcticpenguin380> its ready but ists not in the kernel
[00:23] <CarlFK> what exactly  (url) is "Linus' tree" in ""During development, the kernel git repository  is being constantly rebased against Linus' tree"  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelGitGuide 
[00:24] <CarlFK> I am guessing  linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git  http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=tree;h=b4e3c8094b13fe3361213d0a2893a10bdd19a24b;hb=a6352cddc743300b0b64b5fd8dfb688524e884e9
[00:25] <CarlFK> but i'm not sure 
[00:29] <crimsun_> yes, linux-2.6.git
[00:29] <CarlFK> arg
[00:36] <CarlFK> crimsun_: how do I find out why a line differs between linux-2.6.git and ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git ?
[00:40] <crimsun_> well, "why" is more complicated.  What's the issue?
[00:40] <CarlFK> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=blob;f=drivers/media/video/vivi.c;hb=053fcb6014eef31c2674d344c704118e0ac229ef#l1125
[00:41] <mjg59> CarlFK: We pull off the stable branch, rather than the head of Linus's tree
[00:41] <CarlFK> why is that line //ed? 
[00:41] <mjg59> CarlFK: git-blame on a file will tell you who touched it
[00:42] <mjg59> CarlFK: In this case, it was //ed since 2006. I'd guess it's been changed in 2.6.25, which we don't rebase off
[00:42] <CarlFK> ah
[00:42] <CarlFK> getting somewhere...
[00:45] <mjg59> CarlFK: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=f905c442e5b19f75fe4e8ce96f2acffa565f2392
[00:47] <CarlFK> awesome
[00:48] <mjg59> CarlFK: If you email kernel-team@ubuntu.com, you can probably ask for that to be cherry-picked into the hardy kernel if it fixes a bug
[00:50] <CarlFK> cool.  
[00:51] <CarlFK> thank you very much - I have been trying to pin this down on and off all day
[00:51] <CarlFK> probably burned up 2 hours 
[00:51] <CarlFK> easy
[01:33] <Yashy> I was using xubuntu amd64 with my dual core (X2) CPU just fine. I just replaced it with xubuntu i386, and although the kernel (uname -a) says SMP, it's only showing one CPU. Any ideas?
[01:34] <Yashy> [    5.316000] CPU #1 not responding - cannot use it. # from dmesg 
[01:38] <CarlFK> Yashy: I bet you want -generic 
[01:39] <Yashy> Linux delly 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[01:40] <CarlFK> no clue - I was in over my head from the start :)
[01:45] <Yashy> acpi=off was the magic answer if anyone else ever asks.
[04:40] <shashi> Can any one tell me, if i have x86 hardware, and if i install Linux on it, through which command i can check whether my hardware is 32-bit or 64-bit ?
[06:25] <CarlFK> shashi: lshw: product: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
[06:26] <CarlFK> also: cat /proc/cpuinfo model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz
[06:27] <shashi> Is "lshw" works only in Ubuntu ?
[06:27] <shashi> From this "Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GH" , how we can tell whether my hardware is 32-bit or 64-bit ?
[06:30] <CarlFK> good Q.  look up the specs on that chip I suppose 
[06:31] <CarlFK> btw /topic says " Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY " so this discussion should continue in #ubuntu 
[20:48] <Kano> hi rtg , did you add my fix for the xplorer guitar?
[20:49] <Kano> also lum is not bumped to 11
[20:50] <Kano> http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/kernel-update-pack-generic/source/xpad-2.6.24.patch
[20:50] <Kano> just 2 lines change, then it works
[20:54] <rtg> Kano: have you filed an LP bug so I can track it?
[20:55] <Kano> no, why is always a bug needed for a 2 lines change
[20:55] <Kano> isnt that a bit extra complicated
[20:56] <rtg> Kano: its part of the process. If I commit the fix with the bug number in the commit message, then the ubuntoid will update the bug report and mark it fix released.
[20:56] <Kano> produces extra work
[20:56] <rtg> Kano: it ain't gonna change.
[20:57] <Kano> can you show me an example line for vfat on a hardy install
[20:57] <Kano> i dont want to install it yet
[20:58] <rtg> Kano: I'm not sure what you mean.
[20:58] <Kano> fstab
[20:58] <Kano> did you update aufs?
[20:59] <rtg> Kano: did you file an LP bug?
[20:59] <Kano> it really seems nobody from ubuntu adds "bugs" himself to fix even major problems
[20:59] <Kano> when you look at ntfs-3g for example
[21:00] <rtg> complain, complain. Look, I'm done for the day. She who must be obeyed is calling.
[21:00] <Kano> it is still 1.1120 and you should read on the ntfs-3g.org homepage that the 1.2216 is an really needed update
[21:02] <Kano> a clever one would get the ntfs-3g mailing list
[21:58] <Kano> so added for both bugs...
