| zafy_ | hi I know this might be off topic but I4ve been trying to figure out a way to solve my sound problem and I finally saw that there was a kernel fix for it : http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/4/110 | 11:01 |
| zafy_ | only I don't know how to apply a kernel fix | 11:02 |
| zafy_ | can anyone help me with that ? | 11:02 |
| IntuitiveNipple | zafy_: It is in the latest Intrepid git: commit 320dcc30f498e0 | 11:12 |
| zafy_ | so how do I apply it ? do I have to wait until intrepid comes out ? or is there a way to apply a patch in the mean time ? | 11:12 |
| zafy_ | IntuitiveNipple, ^ | 11:12 |
| IntuitiveNipple | patch to what? | 11:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | hang on, don't reply! the windows here have gone funny | 11:13 |
| IntuitiveNipple | right... let's try again :) | 11:13 |
| zafy_ | IntuitiveNipple, I was wondering if there was a way to fix that problem without having to wait for Intrepid | 11:15 |
| zafy_ | lik patchin the kernel code and recomiling it i guess | 11:15 |
| zafy_ | only I don't know how to do that | 11:15 |
| IntuitiveNipple | *which* kernel code? | 11:15 |
| zafy_ | http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/4/110 -> isn't that a patch for the kernel ? | 11:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | No, *which* kernel version do you want to patch? | 11:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Hardy? | 11:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Intrepid alpha? | 11:16 |
| zafy_ | I have Hardy | 11:16 |
| IntuitiveNipple | So, you want to know if commit 320dcc30f498e0 can be applied to Hardy? | 11:17 |
| zafy_ | yeah | 11:17 |
| IntuitiveNipple | OK... let me check | 11:17 |
| zafy_ | thanks | 11:17 |

| IntuitiveNipple | zafy: The patch applies cleanly to the Hardy kernel, but as to whether it *works*, you'd have to test it of course | 11:35 |
| zafy | IntuitiveNipple, so i do i apply it ? | 11:35 |
| zafy | do you know a tutorial or a page that'll show me how ? | 11:35 |
| IntuitiveNipple | I suspect that might be a bit too advanced, but you can take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMaintenance and the related Git guide. | 11:36 |
| zafy | IntuitiveNipple, Intrepid is coming out next month right ? | 11:44 |
| IntuitiveNipple | That's the plan | 11:44 |
| zafy | and it should be in there then ? | 11:45 |
| zafy | IntuitiveNipple, what happens if I patch the kernel ? Can I still upgrade to intrepid as normal ? | 11:45 |
| IntuitiveNipple | Kernel freeze is 16th October, so yes, it should be in | 11:46 |
| IntuitiveNipple | If you install a custom kernel (with the patch) it exists alongside the other kernel versions, it won't prevent any updates if you use the regular Ubuntu packaging system to install the custom kernel | 11:47 |
| zafy | cool | 11:54 |
| zafy | IntuitiveNipple, I'm not sure I see what I'm lookgin for on that page | 11:55 |
| zafy | I'm a pretty big n00b when it comes to that kind of things | 11:55 |
| zafy | IntuitiveNipple, ? | 12:08 |
| mdz | rtg: your changelog entry says that bug 263555 is fixed, but for some reason the bug in LP is still open. is that intentional or shall I close it? | 14:19 |
| mdz | rtg: (the e1000e thing) | 14:19 |
| rtg | mdz: lemme check. I've been watching upstream, but I'm not convinced they are converging on the correct solution. | 14:21 |
| rtg | mdz: I updated the status and comment for 263555. | 14:31 |
| mdz | rtg: thanks. I'm confused as to why Launchpad didn't automatically update it based on your changelog entry which referenced the bug number | 14:35 |
| rtg | mdz braindead ubuntoid? | 14:35 |
| amitk | laga: pushed aufs to git. Should be in next upload (after beta). Thanks for you work. | 16:37 |
| laga | amitk: great. thanks for taking care of that :) | 16:38 |
| amitk | laga: in the end I decided not to 'clean up' the Makefile. It is ugly now, but makes it easier to update aufs. | 16:39 |
| laga | yes, that's what i was thought | 16:39 |
| laga | that and laziness. | 16:40 |
| jdong | is there any plan to "update" ath9k more? | 16:41 |
| jdong | I still find it pretty quirky and upstream always poitns to various wireless-testing commits to answer my concerns | 16:41 |
| jdong | in fact, it is quite unuseable when I am more than 20 feet from an AP | 16:42 |
| rtg | jdong: we'll likely end up doing a wireless-testing backport soon after Intrepid is released. | 16:43 |
| jdong | rtg: gotcha | 16:45 |

| Kano | hi, how about using | 18:24 |
| Kano | http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/738629 | 18:24 |
| Kano | instaed of external e1000? | 18:24 |
| Kano | e | 18:24 |
| Ng | those patches aren't in any main kernel branches yet, and some are purely for debugging purpoess | 18:26 |
| Ng | they are also largely untested outside of intel, so putting them in our kernel before the intel guys have even figured out where the bug is, seems pretty stupid | 18:26 |
| Kano | well the code to access the device with bad nvram would be really good to have.. | 18:33 |
| Kano | thats missing in the external module | 18:45 |
