| cobradevil | hello all | 16:24 |
|---|---|---|
| cobradevil | will there be xen dom0 support in intrepid? | 16:24 |
| abogani | I suppose that zul know it. | 16:27 |
| cobradevil | will wait then? | 16:31 |
| joumetal | I am trying to triage bug 272537. Is it related to new tlsup driver for toshiba laptops? | 16:53 |
| CarlFK | bug #272537 | 17:47 |

| munckfish | BenC: spufs isn't getting mounted on boot - it's module so it isn't listed in /proc/filesystems and that's what is checked to see if a filesystem is supported. | 18:06 |
| munckfish | I'm working with Colin W to see how to work this through in the scripts in sysvinit | 18:07 |
| munckfish | but how would you feel about spufs being a builtin instead of a module in powerpc64-smp | 18:07 |
| munckfish | ? | 18:07 |
| munckfish | Of course I realise it's only needed for Cell | 18:08 |
| munckfish | spufs.ko amounts to 191K I'm guessing that's a fairly average to small size module | 18:12 |
| DGMurdockIII | hey | 20:08 |
| DGMurdockIII | guy I have a problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/277749 | 20:09 |
| BenC | DGMurdockIII: the driver is labeled as beta | 20:20 |
| BenC | DGMurdockIII: and we are frozen right now for our own beta release | 20:20 |
| BenC | DGMurdockIII: likely wont make it in, but we'll see what we can do | 20:20 |
| DGMurdockIII | if it dosent make it in this realese would it be possable that it could be made as a update | 20:22 |
| DGMurdockIII | after the new version of ubuntu is realsed | 20:22 |
| joumetal | BenC: Could you have quick look at bug 272537? | 20:23 |
| DGMurdockIII | and you could contact there live support is open if you want to talk to them about there linux driver and there a pritty small compony | 20:24 |
| DGMurdockIII | http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/support/ left of site says live support | 20:25 |
| DGMurdockIII | (BenC): you still there | 20:27 |
| munckfish | BenC: any thoughts on the above question ^ | 20:30 |
| BenC | munckfish: I thought we had solved the spufs module loading previously | 20:33 |
| BenC | munckfish: I think initramfs loaded it if it detected a cell machine | 20:33 |
| munckfish | BenC: well we have a new problem | 20:34 |
| munckfish | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ps3-port/+bug/274854 | 20:34 |
| munckfish | see my last comment | 20:34 |
| BenC | DGMurdockIII: to start off with, the module doesn't even compile with our latest kernel | 20:34 |
| laga | DGMurdockIII: why don't they support their kernel to upstream? | 20:34 |
| munckfish | It's a chicken and egg situ | 20:35 |
| DGMurdockIII | lthey have another driver | 20:35 |
| munckfish | BenC: so the fix is either by making the module a builtin or by modifying the scripts in sysvinit. If you're happy for it to become a builtin like the other kernel filesystems procfs and sysfs | 20:36 |
| DGMurdockIII | (BenC): http://www.bigfootnetworks.com/Support/index.php?_m=downloads&_a=viewdownload&downloaditemid=13&nav=0,2,8 if you have problem you can try posting in there forums here they are very helpfill http://www.killernic.com/KillerForums/forumdisplay.php?f=7 | 20:36 |
| munckfish | BenC: then that would be a very quick and decisive fix | 20:36 |
| munckfish | BenC: would just appreciate your viewpoint on the matter (if you have any) | 20:37 |
| BenC | munckfish: I think the sysvinit scripts is a better place, not being built-in | 20:42 |
| BenC | munckfish: it should only be loaded and mounted for cell machines (which is easily detected in /proc/cpuinfo, IIRC) | 20:43 |
| munckfish | BenC: cool thx that's where I'll focus my attention | 20:44 |
| BenC | munckfish: The reason I say that is because ppc kernel+initramfs has a size limit imposed by yaboot (I think, but never-the-less, no-bloat is best) | 20:44 |
| munckfish | BenC: aha I see. So we'll keep it slim then. | 20:47 |
| DGMurdockIII | do ubuntu support fingerprint readers | 21:22 |
| Nafallo | define 'support' | 21:23 |
| === nm-rocker is now known as asac | ||
| DGMurdockIII | as in will they be able to be used to for like as loking in | 21:56 |
| DGMurdockIII | loging in to the OS | 21:56 |
| BenC | DGMurdockIII: not out-of-the-box, but there are things you can install and configure to make use of it | 22:01 |
| BenC | probably a howto on the wiki | 22:01 |
| DGMurdockIII | will ubuntu ever support it out of the box | 22:02 |
| BenC | Currently our security team tells me that fingerprint reader is not very secure | 22:11 |
| BenC | mainly because of the hardware | 22:11 |
| BenC | There are some good fingerprint readers, but it's not easy to tell from the OS whether it's a secure reader or not | 22:11 |
| BenC | Anyway, there's probably comments and discussion about it all over launchpad.net and wiki.ubuntu.com, so best to go there for answers | 22:12 |
| CarlFK | you mean "touch here to log in" isn't secure? :) | 22:33 |
| * kees likes to think of fingerprint readers as someone having a 3-character password. | 23:47 | |
| kees | (i.e. effort to crack, etc) | 23:47 |
