[11:01] <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
[11:02] <zafy_> only I don't know how to apply a kernel fix
[11:02] <zafy_> can anyone help me with that ?
[11:12] <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, ^
[11:13] <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 :)
[11:15] <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?
[11:16] <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
[11:17] <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
[11:35] <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 ?
[11:36] <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.
[11:44] <zafy> IntuitiveNipple, Intrepid is coming out next month right ?
[11:44] <IntuitiveNipple> That's the plan
[11:45] <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 ?
[11:46] <IntuitiveNipple> Kernel freeze is 16th October, so yes, it should be in
[11:47] <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
[11:54] <zafy> cool
[11:55] <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
[12:08] <zafy> IntuitiveNipple, ?
[14:19] <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)
[14:21] <rtg> mdz: lemme check. I've been watching upstream, but I'm not convinced they are converging on the correct solution.
[14:31] <rtg> mdz: I updated the status and comment for 263555.
[14:35] <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?
[16:37] <amitk> laga: pushed aufs to git. Should be in next upload (after beta). Thanks for you work.
[16:38] <laga> amitk: great. thanks for taking care of that :)
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <laga> that and laziness.
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <jdong> in fact, it is quite unuseable when I am more than 20 feet from an AP
[16:43] <rtg> jdong: we'll likely end up doing a wireless-testing backport soon after Intrepid is released.
[16:45] <jdong> rtg: gotcha
[18:24] <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
[18:26] <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
[18:33] <Kano> well the code to access the device with bad nvram would be really good to have..
[18:45] <Kano> thats missing in the external module
