| BenC | I'm trying to think of a good reason why we have a linux-source-2.6.x.deb package, but I'm having a hard time justifying it | 09:50 |
|---|---|---|
| torkel | because people are used to it? | 09:52 |
| BenC | used to it doesn't mean it's worth having :) | 10:07 |
| BenC | most people assume they can use it to build the same packages we do, and that's just incorrect | 10:07 |
| BenC | what most people want is "apt-get source linux" not "sudo apt-get install linux-source" | 10:08 |
| * BenC fires off the 2.6.26-1.1 upload | 12:03 | |
| BenC | rtg: what was that you talk me last night, that adam said would pull in the last version? | 12:05 |
| rtg | hang on... | 12:05 |
| BenC | *told | 12:05 |
| rtg | an option to dpkg-buildpkg, e.g., '-v2.6.24-18.36' | 12:06 |
| BenC | Oh, I already knew about that | 12:07 |
| BenC | rtg: that just sets the .changes file to include all changelog entries later than that version | 12:08 |
| BenC | as opposed to just the current upload | 12:09 |
| fabbione | BenC: are you killing linux-ubuntu-modules? | 12:31 |
| fabbione | BenC: (for intrepid i mean) | 12:32 |
| BenC | fabbione: yeah | 13:00 |
| fabbione | ok | 13:00 |
| fabbione | so all external modules are back into main tree? | 13:01 |
| BenC | fabbione: yeah, pretty much | 13:06 |
| fabbione | BenC: it's kind of astonishing that no matter what, everything always collapse again. | 13:13 |
| fabbione | BenC: specially when we discussed that in regards of API/ABI breakage from lum | 13:13 |
| fabbione | and i suggested to go back | 13:13 |
| BenC | I never said going back wasn't possible | 13:29 |
| BenC | just that we couldn't do it in hardy | 13:29 |
| fabbione | nah there was time for hardy... | 13:29 |
| === dashua_ is now known as dashua | ||
| BenC | nah, there wasn't :) | 13:29 |
| BenC | time to do it, sure, but some one with that time, that's a different story | 13:30 |
| fabbione | there was.. you are just too slow :P | 13:30 |
| fabbione | that's why you have 24h/day and weekends | 13:30 |
| fabbione | weekends are boring without hacking :) | 13:30 |
| BenC | lol, my weekends aren't boring, but I definitely don't spend them hacking | 13:31 |
| BenC | you're married, your don't have time either :P | 13:31 |
| fabbione | ahhaha | 13:33 |
| torkel | BenC: married and with small kids you have nights to hack on :-) | 13:34 |
| fabbione | torkel: no you don't.. kids keep you busy | 13:35 |
| tjaalton | especially at night.. | 13:40 |

| mnem0 | what is the difference between linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-18-386 and linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-18-generic ?? | 21:57 |
| === mnem0 is now known as mnemo | ||
| amitk | mnemo: the flavour. -386 is for older machines, -generic for 686+ machines | 22:06 |
| mnemo | so I really want the latter then, for a modern machine?? | 22:07 |
| amitk | mnemo: depends on what kernel you have installed. 'apt-get install linux-image-generic' ought to take care of all dependencies, really | 22:10 |
| mnemo | but how do I choose kernel between -i386 and -generic? | 22:11 |
| amitk | mnemo: what is the output of 'cat /proc/version_signature'? | 22:11 |
| mnemo | it's currently Ubuntu 2.6.24-18.32-386 | 22:12 |
| mnemo | but I think I got both installed in grub for some reason | 22:13 |
| mnemo | and i'm more interested in general what is the difference between -i386 and -generic so I know which one to use in the future etc | 22:13 |
| amitk | mnemo: if your processor is something released in the last 2-3 years, it is a safe bet to go with -generic. | 22:14 |
| mnemo | yea I know -generic boots and works fine when I select it from grub | 22:15 |
| mnemo | but is -generic faster because it's optimized for 686 or something like that? | 22:15 |
| amitk | mnemo: yes. It will use optimizations, new instructions, etc. for newer processors. | 22:18 |
| mnemo | okay cool | 22:18 |
| mnemo | thanks for explaining it to me | 22:18 |

| bmm | Hi everybody. For starters, thanks for your work on the kernel. I'm desperately waiting for 2.6.25+ because of lan driver fixes, so I was looking around at the launchpad pages and wanted to mention two things: | 23:21 |
| bmm | 2.6.26 ia64 for intrepid has run and failed to build because of a missing: debian/rules.d/ia64.mk | 23:22 |
| bmm | (which seems like a small mistake?) | 23:22 |
| bmm | The kernel-team contact information link to the wiki doesn't work, see https://launchpad.net/~kernel-team on the right lower side. | 23:23 |
| bmm | So, that's all I wanted to mention. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the new versions. | 23:23 |
| bmm | Thanks for reading! | 23:24 |
| mrec__ | hi anyone awake? | 23:30 |
| mrec__ | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/204578 | 23:30 |
| mrec__ | it would be great if someone could integrate the driver from mcentral.de into ubuntu | 23:31 |
