| munckfish | mmm X conf 08 in sunny california, a world away from still not quite convincingly spring here in Edinburgh, lucky you | 00:01 |
|---|---|---|
| bryyce | it's quite nice, I'm in shorts | 00:02 |
| bryyce | apparently it's going to be snowing next week back home (portland oregon) | 00:03 |
| bryyce | munckfish: so what do you work on? | 00:05 |
| munckfish | bryyce: you mean for ubuntu or generally? | 00:06 |
| bryyce | both | 00:07 |
| munckfish | well, by day I'm a software eng / team lead for a smallish elearning/gaming software company here in Scotland | 00:07 |
| bryyce | cool | 00:07 |
| munckfish | by night (and by breakfast time) I'm applying love and care to PS3+Hardy | 00:08 |
| munckfish | and just generally trying to find a useful niche in the ubuntu | 00:08 |
| munckfish | volunteer world | 00:09 |
| munckfish | what about you are you full time Canonical? | 00:09 |
| bryyce | yep, pretty much | 00:13 |
| bryyce | in theory I also do Inkscape in my freetime, however I find myself more often just working extra hours on Xorg instead | 00:14 |
| munckfish | bryyce: right, somehow I'm not surprised | 00:14 |
| munckfish | were you at DebConf 07 ? | 00:15 |
| bryyce | nope | 00:15 |
| munckfish | I remember sitting in on various stuff, saw some of the debian X maintainers there of course | 00:15 |
| munckfish | really inspired to get involved actually | 00:16 |
| bryyce | cool | 00:16 |
| munckfish | and it was here in Edinburgh so I didn't have to move very far | 00:16 |
| munckfish | :) | 00:16 |
| munckfish | blimey xserver build takes quite a while - I'm sure this is longer than the kernel build time now. Is it possible to use ccache when building the xserver deb? | 00:39 |
| bryyce | sure | 00:41 |
| bryyce | I think also it's set up by default to use -j0; I've been wanting to figure out how to make it use more cpu's (I have a 4 cpu system that goes woefully underutilized) | 00:41 |
| bryyce | bbiab | 00:42 |
| mvo | munckfish: anything new about the ps3 kernel ? | 00:44 |
| munckfish | mvo: umm I cheated a bit | 00:47 |
| munckfish | I didn't use the update manager in the end | 00:47 |
| munckfish | sorry | 00:47 |
| munckfish | :S | 00:47 |
| munckfish | first I installed linux-powerpc64-smp | 00:48 |
| munckfish | then upgraded using the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FeistyUpgradesManual | 00:48 |
| munckfish | but converted for hardy | 00:48 |
| munckfish | so I now have a functioning hardy base | 00:49 |
| munckfish | and the kernel thing is fine | 00:49 |
| munckfish | so, I'll need to revisit gutsy at some point to try out the upgrade | 00:50 |
| munckfish | then I can tell you if there are any problems | 00:50 |
| munckfish | mvo: what solution can we use to solve the upgrade path problem? meta package? or something specific in the UpdateManager? | 00:52 |
| mvo | munckfish: a transitional package or a quirks rule in update-manager, both will work | 00:55 |
| mvo | the later is easier | 00:55 |
| mvo | for former more generic :) | 00:55 |
| munckfish | uhu | 00:55 |
| munckfish | so ... which would you recommend? | 00:55 |
| munckfish | taking into account that we've probably not got a chance | 00:56 |
| munckfish | to get hardy done for PS3 for it's initial release | 00:56 |
| mvo | a quirks rule in update-anager sounds fine | 00:57 |
| munckfish | excellent | 00:57 |
| mvo | I just need the name of the old and the new kernel package | 00:57 |
| munckfish | ok | 00:57 |
| munckfish | I tell you what | 00:57 |
| munckfish | ... | 00:57 |
| munckfish | I'm a little unsure of this | 00:58 |
| munckfish | Let me check this out a bit more thoroughly | 00:59 |
| mvo | munckfish: ok, no rush, just catch me within the next few days | 00:59 |
| mvo | munckfish: I need to go to bed now anyway | 00:59 |
| * mvo waves | 00:59 | |
| munckfish | If I raise something in LP on it you'll see it right? | 01:00 |
| === bryce_ is now known as bryyce | ||
| munckfish | bryyce: that patch fixed it | 01:32 |
| bryyce | excellent | 01:33 |
| munckfish | Now moving on to the wrong driver problem (vesa -> fbdev) | 01:33 |
| munckfish | bryyce: thx for that! | 01:33 |
| bryyce | :-) | 01:34 |
| munckfish | bryyce: ok my passing shot for tonight. I've uploaded a gdb session stepping through the chooseVideoDrver function | 01:47 |
| munckfish | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ps3-port/+bug/219424 | 01:47 |
| munckfish | there's a lot of null pointers in it, and not much real action | 01:48 |
| munckfish | if you have a chance to review it | 01:48 |
| munckfish | and you need more or different traces let me know I'll get whatever we need. | 01:48 |
| munckfish | enjoy the conference | 01:48 |
| bryyce | ok cool | 01:49 |
| bryyce | conference has ended, I'm chillin' tonight and will be heading home tomorrow morning | 01:50 |
| munckfish | ok well safe journey, maybe speak over the weekend not sure. C ya! | 01:50 |
| bryyce | sure! | 01:50 |
