| mantiena | hi all | 12:44 |
|---|---|---|
| mantiena | I have one question about squashfs/lzma - is lzma enabled in final hardy kernel ? | 12:45 |
| mantiena | I mean - could I use lzma compression when compressing filesystem.squashfs | 12:46 |
| alex_joni | mantiena: the customize wiki page specifically says to use -nolzma | 12:46 |
| alex_joni | that said, I'm not sure if lzma is enabled or not in the kernel | 12:47 |
| alex_joni | mantiena: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/177634 | 12:48 |
| alex_joni | mantiena: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2008-March/002201.html | 12:48 |
| alex_joni | I guess that means lzma is not available | 12:48 |
| mantiena | alex_joni: I've noticed -nolzma in customization wiki, but there was no info why don't use lzma :) | 12:48 |
| mantiena | alex_joni: thanks for info | 12:48 |

| BenC | rtg: any chance you have updated configs for non x86 arch's for > 2.6.24? | 14:01 |
| rtg | BenC: you mean for Intrepid? I don't think I finished the configs until after I dumped all the non x86 arches. | 14:09 |
| BenC | rtg: Ah, np then | 14:09 |
| BenC | Trying to finish up this linux-ports package | 14:09 |
| rtg | BenC: there might be some from really early in the Intrepid tree. | 14:10 |
| rtg | BenC: thinking about reviewing all of the SRUs today, then rebasing Intrepid to -rc1 | 14:11 |

| qense | did your forget to package the new kernel modules for virtualbox or is it still in the planning? | 17:00 |
| qense | it's not very good for business users who depend on virtualbox that suddenly it isn't supported anymore by the newest kernel and they have to compile the module all by theirselves | 17:00 |
| blueyed | qense: you are using hardy-proposed then, not? I'm in the process of building/updating it.. | 17:33 |
| qense | oh :P | 17:34 |
| qense | my bad | 17:34 |
| qense | yes, I'm using ti | 17:34 |
| qense | I'd like to help Ubuntu with testing this before it's released :) | 17:34 |
| qense | now I understand | 17:34 |
| qense | when will it be ready? | 17:34 |
| blueyed | qense: in a few hours. | 17:36 |
| qense | ok, thx | 17:36 |
| qense | btw, have you heard about the request form lenovo, HP, dell and some others at the linux dev summit? | 17:36 |
| qense | they've strongly asked their component manufacturors to create better/good (open-source) linux drivers to be included in the kernel | 17:37 |
| blueyed | no? | 17:37 |
| qense | so I hope we'll notice that in the next kernel release :) | 17:37 |
| BenC | qense: We've seen some promising results from that | 17:37 |
| BenC | intrepid should have interesting drivers because of it | 17:37 |
| qense | yeah, I'm really looking forward to it | 17:38 |
| qense | the reason why I wanted to use virtualbox was too test interpid already | 17:38 |
| BenC | be hard core and test it on real hardware :) | 17:38 |
| qense | maybe I'll isntall it over my windows installation ;) | 17:38 |
| qense | when will catlyst 8.4 be included in Ubuntu btw? | 17:40 |
| SEJeff | BenC, Do you think Intrepid will *actually* see anything because of that? Seems like to me it would be Intrepid+(1|2) will see the results | 17:41 |
| qense | I think we'll see a tiny bit of it in 2.6.26 | 17:41 |
| SEJeff | step 1 vendors hire oss developers and/or release docs, step 2 drivers are written, step 3 drivers are tested, step 4 distros ship them | 17:42 |
| qense | well, I'm looking forward to 9.04 ;) | 17:43 |
| qense | and 9.10 | 17:43 |
| qense | and all other Ubuntu releases | 17:43 |
| SEJeff | qense, I dont think we'll see anything that hasn't been already been happening behind the scenes with Greg Kh's linux driver program | 17:44 |
| qense | I know | 17:44 |
| SEJeff | Linux always evolves. Look at Warty vs Hardy. It is amazing | 17:44 |
| qense | yes | 17:44 |
| qense | linux is one of the greates software projects in the world | 17:44 |

| BenC | rtg: why did you upload the kernel to hardy-proposed? | 18:09 |
| BenC | rtg: SEJeff I know for a fact intrepid will see some benefit of that | 18:10 |
| BenC | s/rtg/SEJeff/ | 18:10 |
| BenC | SEJeff: Dell et al announcing that was way after they actually started doing it | 18:10 |
| SEJeff | BenC, Alright, you have better contacts than I (Canonical). Thats great news | 18:11 |
| SEJeff | I see announcements as fluff. Only the code and contributions matter | 18:11 |
| BenC | That announcement was more than fluff | 18:11 |
| SEJeff | Well then it is seriously good news | 18:12 |
| BenC | We've had ODM's contacting us directly as a result of pressure from OEM's like Dell | 18:12 |
| BenC | some of them have even been put on a timeline for getting open source drivers out, by the OEM (note, I can't say any names at all) | 18:13 |
| SEJeff | Of course, NDAs both ways. That is fantastic though and means a lot for open source | 18:13 |
| SEJeff | BenC, Any luck in SRUs for new hardware support? Doubtful, but is it a possibility? | 18:14 |
| BenC | SEJeff: Only for Hardy, and only in line with out first point release (which is in about 3 months) | 18:14 |
| SEJeff | Thats great news for OSS as a whole | 18:18 |

| mantiena | doko: hi | 18:38 |
| PeP` | Hello, I have a litle question about a kernel message that makes me wonder... "message handler not found under /com/redhat/dhcp/wlan0 for sub-path wlan0" ... why this redhat occurrency? | 21:55 |
| johanbr | PeP`: I think that's actually from network-manager. It's just a dbus name used by n-m, probably since it was originally coded by a RH guy. | 22:08 |
| PeP` | uhu... thank you johanbr | 22:09 |
