[00:37] <Grackle> Hi, I have a new driver for a realtek device, and I'd like to add it to the ubuntu repositories.
[00:38] <Grackle> 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] <Grackle> It now works... so... yeah.
[00:39] <Grackle> 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] <TheMuso> 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.
[11:37] <stgraber> Looks like my custom dsdt isn't loaded on Intrepid, is it a known issue ?
[11:37] <stgraber>  /proc/acpi/dsdt doesn't match the one in /etc/initramfs-tools/DSDT.aml
[11:38] <stgraber> causing my fans to go crazy with Intrepid (that's something I changed in my custom DSDT)
[11:49] <stgraber> Filed bug 246222
[11:50] <stgraber> -ENOBOT :(
[11:52] <alex_joni> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/246222
[14:32] <noelferreira> 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] <noelferreira> 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
[15:41] <Kano> hi BenC , rtg 
[15:41] <Kano> rtg: still working on hardy?
[15:41] <rtg> Kano: yep
[15:42] <Kano> rtg: http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/unused-patches/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-2.6.24.uvcvideo.medion-e1210.patch
[15:42] <Kano> thats for hardy
[15:42] <Kano> this is the medium variant of the msi wind netbook
[15:42] <Kano> for the integrated webcam, needs a similar hack like all other hacks for some cards
[15:43] <Kano> [ 4348.883617] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device BisonCam, NB Pro (5986:0141)
[15:43] <Kano> when you use it
[15:44] <Kano> Medion Akoya mini E1210 is it called
[15:45] <Kano> http://www.aldi-sued.de/de/html/offers/2827_7018.htm
[15:45] <Kano> boots only with hardy .1
[15:47] <rtg> 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] <Kano> it is in that array, look at the patch
[15:49] <Kano> just an added entry with different id + comment
[16:13] <Kano> rtg: did you notice that uvcvideo is in 2.6.26-rc9?
[16:15] <rtg> Kano: See previous comment: ' It should be in the uvc_ids[] array in drivers/media/video/uvc/uvc_driver.'
[16:15] <rtg> Kano: that is the path in the kernel sources.
[16:15] <Kano> rtg: well that patch was for hardy lum
[16:16] <rtg> Kano: I realize that, but I also noticed when uvc was included in the main kernel.
[16:29] <lamont> rtg: btw, apt-get build-dep linux-source-2.6.26 fails on intrepid/sparc
[16:31] <Kano> rtg: do you know when rc9 will be merged?
[16:33] <rtg> lamont: whats missing? BenC has been doing the Intrepid stuff lately.
[16:33] <lamont> makekerneldump ish
[16:33]  * lamont doesn't have the error in front of him atm
[16:33] <rtg> Kano: when BenC gets to it. He  was on holiday this weekend.
[16:34] <lamont> E: Build-Depends dependency for linux cannot be satisfied because the package makedumpfile cannot be found
[16:34] <rtg> lamont: iirc, its waiting on a MIR.
[16:34] <Kano> lamont: wow you found that too ;) i had to fetch it from launchpad
[16:35] <lamont> rtg: universe is in the list though...
[16:38] <rtg> lamont: thats outside my area of expertise. we'll have to get BenC to comment.
[16:55] <BenC> lamont: makedumpfile was built on sparc it seems, and moved to main recently
[16:55] <BenC> lamont: oh wait, main linux package wont build on sparc anyway
[16:55] <BenC> it's not meant to
[16:55] <lamont> ah, ok
[17:32] <BenC> -rc9 is rebased and pushed
[17:32] <Kano> BenC: did you remove ubuntu/uvcvideo?
[17:33] <Kano> if not,please do
[18:14] <Kano> 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] <Kano> just a different -p option needed
[18:14] <Kano> in the right dir
[18:15] <BenC> "EE: 4181 symbols changed hash and weren't ignored"
[18:15] <BenC> rc8 to rc9...something core in the kernel must have changed
[18:15] <rtg> BenC: ABI bump time
[18:46] <zul> is it just me or this little weird in the server config file:
[18:46] <zul> CONFIG_XEN=y
[18:46] <zul> CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_FRONTEND=m
[18:46] <zul> CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_FRONTEND=m
[21:33] <BenC> zul: you don't think people would use a xen guest as a server?
[21:34] <BenC> well, everything from lum is now in intrepid kernel, with the exception of lirc
[21:41] <zul> BenC: no I wasnt expecting it :)
[22:02] <Kano> 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] <Kano> gspca should the easy
[22:09] <BenC> gspca is already there
[22:10] <Kano> hmm, will look again
[22:10] <BenC> ubuntu/misc/media/gspcav1/
[22:14] <mkrufky> 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] <BenC> mkrufky: uh...what are those? :)
[22:26] <mkrufky> they're in hardy LUM
[22:26] <mkrufky> heh
[22:27] <mkrufky> 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] <mkrufky> BenC: ^^
[22:27] <mkrufky> BenC: so, those three are in the Hardy LUM ubuntu/media/au0828
[22:28] <mkrufky> BenC: and afaik, 2.6.26 will have the same versions, except missing 1 change on the xc5000
[22:28] <BenC> mkrufky: No, they must have showed up after I snapshot lum for intrepid
[22:28] <mkrufky> ah, that would explain it
[22:28] <mkrufky> 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] <mkrufky> 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] <Kano> BenC: http://kanotix.com/files/kernel/kernel-update-pack-generic-next/source/2.6.26-uvc_driver-medion-e1210.patch
[22:43] <Kano> uvc patch for 2.6.26 and medion webcam
[22:44] <Kano> could you please add it
[22:44] <mkrufky> Kano: its added already
[22:44] <Kano> mkrufky: when?
[22:44] <mkrufky> now, seriously.....  if you just sent it to uvcvideo, it would have been done by now
[22:44] <mkrufky> and you wouldnt have had to ask a thousand times
[22:45] <mkrufky> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy-lum.git;a=commitdiff;h=cdca2d54267cf74787b8ff59b20a9c8fcfcca7d0
[22:45] <mkrufky> done
[22:45] <Kano> mkrufky: that patch is for intrepid
[22:45] <mkrufky> anyway, i am just a developer -- i dont represent ubuntu
[22:45] <Kano> of course same patch, just differnt file
[23:22] <Kano> BenC: gpsca is not enabled
[23:22] <Kano> 100%, just compiled
[23:22] <Kano> there is no module gspca
[23:32] <tormod> I saw prism2_usb just got back into Intrepid. Can you please update it, as per bug 245026?
[23:36] <Kano> tormod: you are the one with the xserver repo, right
[23:38] <tormod> Kano: yes
[23:39] <Kano> do you package the normal ones too?
[23:40] <tormod> no, that would be tjaalton (on #ubuntu-x)
[23:44] <Kano> BenC: do you want some more fimeware to add? 
[23:44] <Kano> http://machts.net/Cinergy_HT_USB_XE/xc3028-v27.fw
[23:44] <Kano> http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/firmware/dvb-usb-dtt200u-01.fw
[23:44] <Kano> these are definitely missing
[23:46] <mkrufky> Kano: when you locate the distribution license for the xceive firmware, please send me a copy
[23:51] <Kano> no idea where to find, maybe ask terratec
