[00:37] Hi, I have a new driver for a realtek device, and I'd like to add it to the ubuntu repositories. [00:38] It's an RTL8187SE. The driver was released (well, procured) yesterday. It's GPL'd. I made some modifications to compile it for the ubuntu hardy kernel [00:39] It now works... so... yeah. [00:39] I've never done any work in a linux distribution development process, much less ubuntu's [00:39] * Grackle is looking for some help and guidance [00:49] Grackle: I think it also wouldn't hurt sending an email to the kernel team mailing list, kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com so your message is seen. === poningru_ is now known as poningru === poningru_ is now known as poningru [11:37] Looks like my custom dsdt isn't loaded on Intrepid, is it a known issue ? [11:37] /proc/acpi/dsdt doesn't match the one in /etc/initramfs-tools/DSDT.aml [11:38] causing my fans to go crazy with Intrepid (that's something I changed in my custom DSDT) [11:49] Filed bug 246222 [11:50] -ENOBOT :( [11:52] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246222 === thegodfather is now known as fabbione [14:32] to eliminate the keys getting stuck and key repeat bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/124406 - i disabled ACPI in my boot loader. However without ACPI my computer is always changing this brightness level (like every second). So now i can't complete work with or without ACPI. My system is completely unstable. This happens since i upgraded to hardy heron beta. Even if i change Gconf-editor in order not to automaticall [14:32] y change brigthness level this happens. Please let me now a workaround for this. I used Ubuntu since 'always' and i don't want to change distro now. please let me now a workaround for this. thanks === asac_ is now known as asac === cjwatson_ is now known as cjwatson [15:41] hi BenC , rtg [15:41] rtg: still working on hardy? [15:41] Kano: yep [15:42] rtg: http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/unused-patches/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24.uvcvideo.medion-e1210.patch [15:42] thats for hardy [15:42] this is the medium variant of the msi wind netbook [15:42] for the integrated webcam, needs a similar hack like all other hacks for some cards [15:43] [ 4348.883617] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device BisonCam, NB Pro (5986:0141) [15:43] when you use it [15:44] Medion Akoya mini E1210 is it called [15:45] http://www.aldi-sued.de/de/html/offers/2827_7018.htm [15:45] boots only with hardy .1 [15:47] Kano: how about sending a patch to akpm for the E1210? It should be in the uvc_ids[] array in drivers/media/video/uvc/uvc_driver.c [15:48] it is in that array, look at the patch [15:49] just an added entry with different id + comment [16:13] rtg: did you notice that uvcvideo is in 2.6.26-rc9? [16:15] Kano: See previous comment: ' It should be in the uvc_ids[] array in drivers/media/video/uvc/uvc_driver.' [16:15] Kano: that is the path in the kernel sources. [16:15] rtg: well that patch was for hardy lum [16:16] Kano: I realize that, but I also noticed when uvc was included in the main kernel. [16:29] rtg: btw, apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.26 fails on intrepid/sparc [16:31] rtg: do you know when rc9 will be merged? [16:33] lamont: whats missing? BenC has been doing the Intrepid stuff lately. [16:33] makekerneldump ish [16:33] * lamont doesn't have the error in front of him atm [16:33] Kano: when BenC gets to it. He was on holiday this weekend. [16:34] E: Build-Depends dependency for linux cannot be satisfied because the package makedumpfile cannot be found [16:34] lamont: iirc, its waiting on a MIR. [16:34] lamont: wow you found that too ;) i had to fetch it from launchpad [16:35] rtg: universe is in the list though... [16:38] lamont: thats outside my area of expertise. we'll have to get BenC to comment. [16:55] lamont: makedumpfile was built on sparc it seems, and moved to main recently [16:55] lamont: oh wait, main linux package wont build on sparc anyway [16:55] it's not meant to [16:55] ah, ok [17:32] -rc9 is rebased and pushed [17:32] BenC: did you remove ubuntu/uvcvideo? [17:33] if not,please do [18:14] BenC: can you adopt this patch on your own: http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/unused-patches/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24.uvcvideo.medion-e1210.patch [18:14] just a different -p option needed [18:14] in the right dir [18:15] "EE: 4181 symbols changed hash and weren't ignored" [18:15] rc8 to rc9...something core in the kernel must have changed [18:15] BenC: ABI bump time [18:46] is it just me or this little weird in the server config file: [18:46] CONFIG_XEN=y [18:46] CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=m [18:46] CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=m [21:33] zul: you don't think people would use a xen guest as a server? [21:34] well, everything from lum is now in intrepid kernel, with the exception of lirc [21:41] BenC: no I wasnt expecting it :) [22:02] hi, it seems you are adding now extra drivers. do you want to add gspca too and maybe the ralink draft-n drivers (rt2860/rt2870) [22:03] gspca should the easy [22:09] gspca is already there [22:10] hmm, will look again [22:10] ubuntu/misc/media/gspcav1/ [22:14] BenC: did you have to patch au0828 / au8522 / xc5000 ? afaik, there was only 1 xc5000 patch that didnt make it into 2.6.26 [22:25] mkrufky: uh...what are those? :) [22:26] they're in hardy LUM [22:26] heh [22:27] if you didnt port them to the intrepid kernel, that's fine //// i'll submit them again when i get around to it [22:27] BenC: ^^ [22:27] BenC: so, those three are in the Hardy LUM ubuntu/media/au0828 [22:28] BenC: and afaik, 2.6.26 will have the same versions, except missing 1 change on the xc5000 [22:28] mkrufky: No, they must have showed up after I snapshot lum for intrepid [22:28] ah, that would explain it [22:28] so, i would say dont bother with the those three above.... if need be, i can port the missing change, but it shouldnt matter [22:29] and the other driver i added to LUM, sms1xxx -- that one i would also wait on merging to intrepid. once sms1xxx gets into mainline, i'll send you a pull request [22:43] BenC: http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/kernel-update-pack-generic-next/source/2.6.26-uvc_driver-medion-e1210.patch [22:43] uvc patch for 2.6.26 and medion webcam [22:44] could you please add it [22:44] Kano: its added already [22:44] mkrufky: when? [22:44] now, seriously..... if you just sent it to uvcvideo, it would have been done by now [22:44] and you wouldnt have had to ask a thousand times [22:45] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy-lum.git;a=commitdiff;h=cdca2d54267cf74787b8ff59b20a9c8fcfcca7d0 [22:45] done [22:45] mkrufky: that patch is for intrepid [22:45] anyway, i am just a developer -- i dont represent ubuntu [22:45] of course same patch, just differnt file [23:22] BenC: gpsca is not enabled [23:22] 100%, just compiled [23:22] there is no module gspca [23:32] I saw prism2_usb just got back into Intrepid. Can you please update it, as per bug 245026? [23:36] tormod: you are the one with the xserver repo, right [23:38] Kano: yes [23:39] do you package the normal ones too? [23:40] no, that would be tjaalton (on #ubuntu-x) [23:44] BenC: do you want some more fimeware to add? [23:44] http://machts.net/Cinergy_HT_USB_XE/xc3028-v27.fw [23:44] http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-usb-dtt200u-01.fw [23:44] these are definitely missing [23:46] Kano: when you locate the distribution license for the xceive firmware, please send me a copy [23:51] no idea where to find, maybe ask terratec
