| qense | The Intel chipset drivers are in the normal kernel, aren't they? | 14:20 |
| mjg59 | Yes | 14:30 |
| qense | ok, thx | 14:35 |
| hxu | Hi! I need to build a kernel module against the Ubuntu 8.04 kernel. In redhat-like distros, you usually have a kernel-devel package which contains enough kernel source for you to do kernel development. Is there a kernel devel package in Ubuntu? | 16:27 |
| Nafallo | linux-headers IIRC | 16:30 |
| Nxx | hi | 19:07 |
| Nxx | does anybody know how to make sound work under ubuntuu? | 19:08 |
| crimsun | what doesn't work on your audio hardware? | 19:10 |
| rysiek|pl | hi all | 19:12 |
| rysiek|pl | it's quiet... too quiet | 19:12 |
| * rysiek|pl feels uncomfortable | 19:12 | |
| crimsun | Nxx: ping me in #ubuntu if you need to troubleshoot. | 19:13 |
| rysiek|pl | anywhoo... do *anybody* know about any workarounds of i8042 bugs? | 19:13 |
| rysiek|pl | my laptop's (LG E200) keyboard dies as soon as the kernel kicks in | 19:13 |
| rysiek|pl | needless to say it's quite a showstopper ;) | 19:14 |
| rysiek|pl | anybody? | 19:28 |

| rysiek|pl | guys, I need some serious help with a laptop keyboard that is not functioning in Linux | 20:46 |
| pwnguin | are you going to write a kernel patch for it? | 20:46 |
| rysiek|pl | if need be and it will not be some depp-kernell kick-ass kung-fu, why not | 20:47 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: why? | 20:47 |
| pwnguin | because this is #ubuntu-kernel | 20:47 |
| rysiek|pl | anywhoo: it seems to start working after I pass the kernel an i8042.dumbkbd=1 option - but "caps lock" light does NOT light upon using capslock (though capslock works aok, ie. the letters are big) | 20:47 |
| pwnguin | from topic: "kernel development ONLY" | 20:47 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: yes, I know | 20:47 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: google, launchpad, ##linux, ##kernel, #debian, #ubuntu-pl, #kubuntu, #ubuntu and still nothing | 20:48 |
| pwnguin | perhaps your laptop vendor will know more about the hardware? | 20:49 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: through those 6 hrs of fighting and testing, and re-testing I have come to believe it's a problem with the i8042 PS/2 driver in kernel and some quirky chipset of the laptop I have here | 20:49 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: so I am turning - at the very last - to the only place that seems to have people with enough expertise to help me debug this bugger | 20:49 |
| pwnguin | just about every laptop chipset is "quirky" :) | 20:49 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: e.g. look at dmesgs (i8042.debug=1) or tell me what options should I try now | 20:50 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: I have programmed in C a wee bit (not much, and no kernel stuff, but I will know a pointer from a comment...) and - given only little help - I can try to patch the bugger | 20:51 |
| pwnguin | irc is a rendevous protocol for debugging something like this; you really want to collect all this information in one place and point experts to that at their leisure | 20:52 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: I have got everythin https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKeyboardDetection said I should | 20:52 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: plus dmesgs from ~10 different runs of the single mode with different options passed | 20:53 |
| pwnguin | you mentioned launchpad | 20:53 |
| pwnguin | does this mean you filed a bug? | 20:54 |
| rysiek|pl | I'm back | 20:55 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: not yet. I am not 100% sure it's not a dupe of 2-3 I have found | 20:55 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: although I do have (apparently) different chipset and a wee bit different problems | 20:55 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: i.e. in one bug the keyboard stops working AFTER suspend/resume, but besides that it's exactly what I have | 20:56 |
| rysiek|pl | so, still testing. ;) | 20:57 |
| pwnguin | i'd say file the bug and dup it as nessecary | 20:57 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: if you have a bit of time, I could point you the dmesgs, lspci logs, etc. | 20:57 |
| rysiek|pl | ok, will do | 20:57 |
| rysiek|pl | darn, gtg for a while, be back in 45mins | 20:58 |
| rysiek|pl | thanks for your time ;) | 20:58 |
| pwnguin | well, i don't do much kernel hacking yet | 20:58 |
| pwnguin | don't expect a lot of real help from me, but filing the bug might trigger something | 20:58 |
| pwnguin | reminds me i still need to follow up with the SD hci guy =( | 21:05 |

| pwnguin | what's the right way to request a patch be brought into Ubuntu's kernel? | 21:35 |
| rysiek|pl | pwnguin: I would say "guys, could you bring this-and-that patch into ubuntu's kernel?" ;) | 22:10 |
| dupondje | somebody awake to help creating a patch ? | 22:11 |
| dupondje | a fix in fact :) | 22:12 |
| pwnguin | well i just see over and over again this pattern where people file a bug against ubuntu, it lingers collecting more and more "is anyone listening" until some lone rider outside the kernel team decides to press upstream and writes a patch | 22:12 |
| dupondje | I found the change that makes it crash ... | 22:14 |
| dupondje | its 10 lines ... | 22:14 |
| rysiek|pl | dupondje: what does you patch fix? (and *do* tell me it's either atheros ar242x, or i8042 on ATI chipsets... ;) ) | 22:15 |
| dupondje | its a official ubuntu patch ... | 22:15 |
| dupondje | for the kernel | 22:15 |
| dupondje | Areca Raid controller | 22:15 |
| rysiek|pl | dupondje: *disclaimer* I am a complete n00b and I cannot help with the patch | 22:15 |
| dupondje | arcmsr | 22:15 |
| dupondje | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/235889 | 22:16 |
| dupondje | check bottom :) | 22:16 |
| sectech | Is there a wiki or something that shows what the pci probe error messages mean? I am am triaging a bug that has a PCI probe fail with error -16 | 22:17 |
| dupondje | Who can commit the patch to the Ubuntu Kernel ? | 22:59 |
| dupondje | would be cool if it was fixxed | 22:59 |
| dupondje | in next kernel rls | 22:59 |
