Kanohi BenC , i wanted to compile, but then o gut makedumpfile - command not found. what is that tool and whats the package name?13:39
Kanoi do not even find a makedumpfile package for intrepidß13:44
Kanook, found it in launchpad, but not with packages.ubuntu.com13:50

saftsackhi14:00
saftsacki tested 2.6.26-rc8 and i get tty_wakeup errors on connecting through the connect.sh script14:00
KanoBenC: in lrm you made one space too less in the changelog14:21
Kanoalso dont forget -314:24
BenCKano: -3 isn't going out until alpha 1 is out14:29
BenCKano: and I'd appreciate if you didn't bark out orders to me14:29
BenCKano: makedumpfile is in universe, and it's used to create a vmcoreinfo file so that we can easily capture crashdumps without have a full linux-debug-image installed14:30
Kanocould you fix lrm14:31
KanoBenC: dont you think it has to be in main when you use it for the kernel?14:34
BenCKano: it has to get moved by an archive admin, which is in-progress14:39
Kanowell i put it in my repository14:39
Kanonow i only want to be able to comple lrm to try it14:39
BenCwhat are you talking about in lrm?14:40
Kanothe changelog14:40
Kanoa) you missed one space14:40
Kanoin the ABI Bump line in front of the *14:41
Kanoalso i still did not get why you need a tab in front of all?14:41
Kanolast change would be a 2nd abi bump14:42
Kano32well it seems i have to disable that uvesafb, i dont know how to use it...14:49

Kano32make sure that the v86d helper is installed and executable14:51
Kano32hmm14:51
Kano32is there a package with it?14:53
Kano32or how to you use uvesafb?14:53
Kanogspca still missing15:45
Kanoalso how to build only the firmware package from lrm?15:59
Kanook, found it myself, binary-indep...16:07
Kanohmm using the /lib/firmware dir creates bad dependency problems16:18
Kanoconflicts with ivtv-utils, or did you strip the firmware out of it?16:19
Kanohmm looks like16:22
Kanowhy does the package with the firmware depend on binutils-static?16:33

bdmurrayBenC: ping17:16
BenCbdmurray: yo17:16
bdmurrayBenC: Its not clear to me why my PS3 won't boot 2.6.24.  I can't find any bug reports or anything but vague forum posts.17:16
BenCbdmurray: I know it wont, but I forget why...ps3 guys are working on intrepid (linux-ports) though17:18
BenCbdmurray: mine is still running gutsy17:18
bdmurrayI successfully upgraded to Hardy just can't run that kernel.  I'm not sure what to do with Ubuntu on it anyway though.17:19
BenCbdmurray: download the cell enabled distributed.net client and crank out some hashes :)17:46
BenCps3 is really only useful as a cell development platform, IMO17:47
bdmurrayBenC: heh, I'd have to fight with the kids for access to it17:47
BenCmy ps3 mostly just sits on the folding@home client17:48
BenCand some guitar hero III every now and then17:48
BenCI use it as a blueray player more than anything else :)17:48
bdmurrayI haven't gotten the remote yet, do you need it?17:48
BenCNope, just use the controller17:49
bdmurrayOh, sweet!  You think I would have just tested it.17:50
BenCbuying blueray movies means I have the benefit of telling people no when they ask to borrow movies now17:51
BenCthat will only last but so long though17:51
bdmurrayheh17:51
lapohi18:26
lapois there a kernel patchset somewhere to better support intel atom processors? (frequency scaling for example)18:27
rtglapo: send a note to Oliver Grawert ogra@canonical.com. He has recently been working on an Atom based unit.18:31
laportg: thanks I'll do it18:33
BenCdoesn't mid better support atom?19:07
Tophatso lemme get this right, is MID gonna be for mobile phones/smartphones someday?  almost an alternative to windows mobile?19:10
rtgTophat: MID is targeted towards netbook class devices, e.g., those with a somewhat smaller display. 19:18
Tophateeepc type deal?19:18
rtgright, displays that require reformatting of applications.19:19
Tophatright on. thanks mate19:19
Tophatis there any plans to do an ubuntu for phones?19:19
rtgTophat: there is an Ulta-mobile project, but don't think its targeted at phones because of the telco stack required.19:20
Tophatrtf - excellent ty mate19:21
Tophatrtg - you use any IDE for kernel stuff?19:24
rtgTophat: other then vi?19:24
Tophatsure19:24
rtgTophat: the only other editor I occasionally use is Visual SlickEdit 19:25
rtgbut no IDEs per se19:25
Tophatright, i was just hoping to find a GUI editor for working on the wireless b4319:26
rtgTophat: well, vs is pretty good, but it does cost money.19:27
mkrufkywhat are you looking for in an IDE?  if all you want is codingstyle enforcement, kwrite, gedit, emacs, anything will do the job given the proper configuration19:27
Tophatmkrufky - something with a side panel that i can have multiple files open and easy to navigate them all.  something easier than having a million terminal windows open19:28
mkrufkygedit supports tabs19:28
Tophatright on thanks mate. dunno why i haven't tried it before... ><19:32
mkrufky:-)19:33
mkrufkyI been using gedit for this stuff a lot more now that I've basically moved most of my machines to Ubuntu19:34
mkrufkyOn a KDE machine I might use kwrite instead19:34
mkrufkyand i always use emacs when Im in a text shell over ssh19:34
mkrufkykwrite is nice, it lets you expand and collapse functions, prototypes, structures, #defines, etc19:35
BenCmkrufky: so does vim :)19:42
mkrufkyyes, i never really used vim much ...  19:48
mkrufkybut i hear its the best19:48
JanCSciTE can do the expand/collapse stuff too  ;)20:13
lifelesshi21:33
lifelesswhat kernel should I run on my old pentium firewall:) I was running -386 but the hardy one doesn't.21:34
rtgdapper21:34
rtglifeless: what does that mean, the hardy one doesn't?21:35
lifelessuhm, I'm not entirely sure - something about 'cannot read system configuration' or 'no configuration found' 21:35
lifelessthen it appears to go away into lala land21:36
lifelessI've just plugged a monitor and keyboard in, so I can dig further - but I'll go offline during reboots :)21:36
rtglifeless: what is the latest release that works?21:36
lifelessI booted 2.6.15-23-386 #1 PREEMPT Tue May 23 13:49:40 UTC 2006 i586 GNU/Linux21:37
lifelessand it worked21:37
lifelessits the most recent kernel before the one the hardy upgrade installed21:37
lifeless(that is on the machine)21:37
rtglifeless: then why wouldn't you stay with dapper?21:37
lifelessrtg: dappers old, hardies shiny21:37
rtglifeless: dude, this is a firewall.21:38
rtgif it works, then don't fix it.21:38
lifelessrtg: yes, which is why it was still on dapper; but isn't dapper about to go out of support?21:38
Nafallolifeless: wasn't released five years ago yet :-)21:39
rtglifeless: 2 more years yet. I'm actively maintaining it as we speak.21:39
lifelessanyhow, I figured I may as well be one of the pre '8.4.1 is a candidate upgrade' folk21:39
Nafallohmm. warty wasn't released five years ago :-O21:39
lifelessrtg: I'm not stressed by this, there is no urgency - I've changed the default kernel. But if its not my machine, or if -386 is expected to load on a model name      : Pentium 75 - 20021:40
lifelessthen I can potentially save other folk some grief when they do upgrade21:40
rtglifeless: I think I have some machines of that vintage. 21:41
rtglifeless: you leave your firewall alone and I promise to do some -386 testing. After all, we'd miss your shiny presense if it gets trashed :)21:41
lifelessrtg: :)21:41
lifelessrtg: thank you ; if you want any sort of tests run by me just let me know21:42
rtglifeless: in the meantime dapper is scheduled for some CVE updates.21:42
lifelessrtg: should I file a bug at this point? (I'm guessing not as I have no real data to give ...)21:42
lifelessrtg: kernel ones?21:42
rtglifeless: yeah - unless you can capture a screen or something, the bug report won't be worth much21:43
lifelessrtg: [apt is pointing at hardy now; but I can grab dapper kernels...]21:43
rtglifeless: yes - kernel updates. still several days away.21:43
lifelessrtg: I'll keep an eye out. Unless its remote-exploit its low stress for me on this box21:43
rtglifeless: are you running hardy userspace with a dapper kernel?21:43
lifelessrtg: I think so21:44
rtglifeless: huh, I'm surprised udev works.21:44
lifelessrtg: imagine me chortling21:44
lifelessrtg: it was my 'oh damn it doesn't boot; ok lets try a previous kernel' reaction21:44
rtglifeless: seems like a reasonable approach.21:45
lifelessI'll install the dapper upgrade when it comes out, and take a photo of the hardy fail at the same time21:46
lifelessthanks heaps21:46
rtglifeless: k21:46

kirklandrtg: hey23:37
rtgkirkland: dude23:50
kirklandrtg: you wanna quit sending kernels to your ppa long enough for me to get one installed?  :-)23:51
rtgkirkland: its like a daily event :)23:51
kirklandrtg: :-)23:51
kirklandrtg: it takes FOREVER to build23:51
rtgI deleted all the kernel packages while this one  is building.23:51
kirklandrtg: so I've tested the Intrepid kernel, and it does NOT suffer from the ecryptfs bug23:51
kirklandrtg: yeah, I know ;-)23:52
kirklandrtg: i'm still trying to verify that cherry picked fix23:52
rtgkirkland: ok, I'll upload the other packages as soon as the kernel build is done.23:52
kirklandrtg: i tried it yesterday, and it didn't look like it solve the problem, but I'm not sure I if I pulled the right package or not23:52
rtgkirkland: I suspect you did.23:52
rtgkirkland: I know for sure one has that patch23:53
kirklandrtg: i mean, would that fix have been in the linux-image-generic package, or one of the LUM (and friends)?23:53
rtgs/one/this one/23:53
kirklandrtg: ie, ecryptfs is built as a module23:53
rtglinux-image-generic, its a core kernel patch, wasn't it? yes - i'm sure it  was.23:54
kirklandrtg: it was for the ecryptfs filesystem, which is built as a module23:54
rtgkirkland: built as a module, but part of the kernel package23:54
kirklandrtg: ah23:54
kirklandokay23:54
