| Wellark | hi! is the new hso-driver included in the intrepid kernels? | 08:17 |
|---|---|---|
| Wellark | http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/919938?page=last | 08:17 |
| cking | Wellark: the hso-driver is not in the current intrepid kernel source | 09:01 |
| Wellark | cking: is it going to be included? | 09:02 |
| Wellark | I'm working on network-manager and there are devices that need that driver | 09:03 |
| amitk_ | Wellark: we are still contemplating if Ubuntu will carry 2.6.27 for intrepid. If that happens, hso is already there. | 09:04 |
| amitk_ | currently we are at 2.6.26, but we have a 2.6.27-rc tree called ubuntu-next available for testing if you need. | 09:04 |
| Wellark | but if you decide to stick with .26 will the hso-driver be included? | 09:04 |
| Wellark | or is it too early to tell? | 09:05 |
| amitk_ | Wellark: it could be backported if it is a single driver. Wait another week to check if we make the move (probably will). Otherwise ping us again. | 09:05 |
| Wellark | ok. great! | 09:08 |
| tjaalton | does ubuntu-next work with DKMS/nvidia? | 09:23 |
| tjaalton | apparently it should | 09:29 |
| tjaalton | wow, my laptop stays suspended with .27-rc3 | 09:41 |
| tjaalton | unlike with .26 where it resumes right away | 09:41 |
| amitk_ | tjaalton: looks like we have another supported for 2.6.27 :) | 09:52 |
| amitk_ | *supporter | 09:53 |
| Wellark | what's the main concern about .27? not enough testing? | 09:56 |
| amitk_ | Wellark: that fact that .27 will probably get released _very_ close to our freeze | 10:03 |
| Wellark | just send Linus an email.. :P | 10:05 |
| amitk_ | :D | 10:16 |
| tjaalton | amitk: indeed :) | 11:37 |
| TommyBJ | Will the kernel for intrepid be .27 or .26 ? | 13:15 |
| _ruben | not decided yet | 13:15 |
| TommyBJ | Aha. When is this decision due? | 13:17 |
| _ruben | within a week i think | 13:19 |
| TommyBJ | Ok. Thanks :) | 13:19 |
| Wellark | just add it to topic already :) | 13:24 |
| TommyBJ | :> | 13:35 |
| Edulix | hello | 13:48 |
| Edulix | anyone knows something if similar to this: http://www.bitwizard.nl/remote_devices/ is being worked on nowadays? :P | 13:48 |
| Edulix | for webcams specifically | 13:49 |
| Edulix | uhm I should probably better ask in ##kernel | 13:50 |
| BenC | So far I have not seen one Nay on 2.6.27 for intrepid | 14:52 |
| === BenC changed the topic of #ubuntu-kernel to: Ubuntu kernel development discussion ONLY | Kernel Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam | Latest kernel upload: 2.6.26-5.14 (based on 2.6.26 final) | Latest news: Possibly moving to 2.6.27 kernel for Intrepid/8.10. Decision within a week. | Next meeting: Aug 19, 16:00 UTC | Kernel Team machine: http://kernel.ubuntu.com | ||
| zul | rtg: those xen patches are targeted for 2.6.27 assuming that it goes into intrepid | 14:57 |
| zul | BenC: only one? | 14:57 |
| BenC | zul: I've seen none | 14:57 |
| rtg | BenC: well, you know I'm in favor 'cause I'm thinking about how to get 2.6.27 into Hardy. | 14:58 |
| laga | BenC: did you have a change to review aufs? | 14:59 |
| smb_tp | While I am not so sure about 2.6.27 in Hardy, I think it a good ideao for Intrepid | 14:59 |
| BenC | laga: Yeah, going to sync it | 14:59 |
| laga | BenC: using my patch or from upstream? | 14:59 |
| zul | rtg: it would make life so much easier for somethings | 15:00 |
| BenC | laga: yours | 15:00 |
| laga | yay | 15:00 |
| BenC | I guess now's a good time to install 2.6.27 on my laptop | 15:00 |
| rtg | BenC: I'm test building -rc4. Shall I push the rebase if it compiles? | 15:01 |
| BenC | rtg: I've already rebased it locally and pushed | 15:03 |
| rtg | BenC: I must have just missed it. | 15:03 |
| BenC | Forgot to push the -rc4 tag, so coming | 15:03 |
| BenC | rtg, smb_tp, cking, amitk: I think I'm going to assume that 2.6.27 will be going into intrepid and start preparing a package for upload | 15:07 |
| rtg | BenC: works for me. | 15:08 |
| cking | BenC: ditto | 15:08 |
| smb_tp | BenC, good for me too | 15:08 |
| poningru | hey quick question, how can I have a particular upstream driver updated? | 15:11 |
| poningru | namely madwifi | 15:11 |
| poningru | err as in updated in linux-restricted-modules | 15:11 |
| BenC | crazy...BSD alone is not GPL compatible to the kernel | 15:11 |
| amitk | BenC: \0/ | 15:12 |
| poningru | the latest madwifi supports a class of netbooks that a lot of people would like to convert to ubuntu | 15:12 |
| BenC | poningru: madwifi is the latest upstream release | 15:12 |
| poningru | in hardy? | 15:12 |
| BenC | yes | 15:12 |
| BenC | we aren't syncing to svn repo | 15:12 |
| amitk | poningru: you probably need something from the madwifi trunk, not the release | 15:12 |
| poningru | yeah ofcourse | 15:12 |
| poningru | amitk, no iirc the latest from stable is the working one | 15:13 |
| poningru | its aspire one btw | 15:13 |
| poningru | checking | 15:13 |
| BenC | poningru: I'd test 2.6.27 and see if the ath5k/ath9k driver works for you | 15:15 |
| BenC | we are likely ditching madwifi to support those drivers instead | 15:15 |
| poningru | SWEET | 15:15 |
| poningru | cause I am pretty sure ath9k works | 15:15 |
| rtg | poningru: you must have an AR2425. | 15:15 |
| poningru | checking | 15:16 |
| poningru | damn it you are right madwifi stable is not .10.5.6 | 15:16 |
| poningru | thats the one that works | 15:16 |
| poningru | its called the ar5006EG | 15:17 |
| BenC | that would be ath5k, wouldn't it? | 15:17 |
| rtg | BenC: it might be 9k. Luis said that it supported one of the 5k chipsets. | 15:18 |
| rtg | ar5006EG is an AR2425. | 15:18 |
| rtg | they have some confusing model numbers | 15:18 |
| poningru | indeed | 15:18 |
| rtg | I should be getting one today or Monday, so I'll know soon for sure. | 15:19 |
| poningru | aspire one? | 15:19 |
| poningru | or the wifi card? | 15:19 |
| rtg | no, an AR2425 | 15:19 |
| rtg | wifi card | 15:19 |
| poningru | sigh I guess I will stick to my dkms solution for now | 15:22 |
| poningru | yeah I thought the .10.5 was the stable madwifi | 15:22 |
| BenC | poningru: not willing to try the 2.6.27 kernel packages? | 15:24 |
| poningru | well not for distribution | 15:24 |
| poningru | BenC, creating a no hassle ubuntu install for these netbooks | 15:24 |
| poningru | but yeah going to test out intrepid one of these days | 15:25 |
| poningru | and I guess get a .27 kernel for it | 15:26 |
| poningru | wait is intrepid going to have a .27 by default? | 15:26 |
| poningru | or .26 | 15:26 |
| rtg | poningru: we are currently testing .27 for Intrepid | 15:26 |
| poningru | oh sweet | 15:28 |
| poningru | rc3 just came out right? | 15:28 |
| * poningru checks kt | 15:28 | |
| rtg | poningru: -rc4 | 15:28 |
| poningru | 0.0 | 15:28 |
| poningru | I shall test and file bugs! but first a ppa | 15:34 |
| BenC | time to reboot... | 16:29 |
| BenC | well...everything seems to be functioning well | 16:51 |
| smb_tp | ... famous last words? ;-) | 16:52 |
| * BenC goes to lunch | 17:04 | |
