soleblazeI'm trying to create a custom kernel for ubuntu.  I created a config.aoa file for it and stuck it in debian/config/i386 .. it ran all the way and then gave me an ABI file not found error.. how do I create the ABI files?02:55
jernsthello, can someone tell me on what mainline rc is based linux-image-generic 2.6.27.5.5 ?06:54
=== nm-rocker is now known as asac_
=== asac_ is now known as asac
Ngwhat determines the power/level state of a USB device (wrt sysfs)?11:47
NgI have a fingerprint scanner in my laptop which I have precisely no intention of ever using. it gets a bit warm and its power/level is "on". If I set that to "auto" it cools down11:47
Ngsimilarly I have a USB webcam in the lid of my laptop which I basically never use, so I set that to "auto" too and it still works, so I'm curious why things aren't set to auto automatically11:47
Ng(e.g. /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb4/4-5/power/level is the camera's state)11:48
=== asac_ is now known as asac
Ngoh right, it's because usb devices suck and don't always implement usb power management :/11:52
amitkNg: usb autosuspend doesn't always work as you have figured out. So the default of 'auto' caused lots of breakages in 2.6.23-2411:56
Ngsucks11:58
NgI hope hal grows the ability to whitelist suspendable devices, but rc.local will do for now :)11:59
amitkNg: yeah. rc.local is my collection of powertop recommendations :)12:01

CarlFKsmb_tp: morning.  as a workaround so that my box will boot when on battery, can the 170 second timeout be set via a kernel param?17:11
BenCHey everyone, I know there's supposed to be a meeting this week here17:13
BenCbut this is basically to inform everyone that our meetings are moving to #ubuntu-meeting at 17:00 UTC on Tue's17:15
ograoh, you hold them here ? 17:15
ogra:)17:15
zulis there one today?17:16
rtgzul: whats up with xen in Intrepid? Is it OK?17:16
zulrtg: just trying to package it now 17:17
rtgzul:  is that a separate tree?17:17
zulrtg: yep17:17
zulI should be pushing it to the git repo today if you want to have a look at it17:18
rtgzul: so, you're doing your own uploads for taht?17:18
zulrtg: in theory yes17:18
rtgzul: whats the theory part?17:18
zulrtg: I have to talk to dendrobates about it still17:18
zuland he is sick right now afaik17:18
rtgzul whats the issue?17:19
zulrtg: the only issues right now is that Ive heard that we are going to pass it off to you guys once the main bits are done (ie security patches) but I havent heard anything else17:20
zulrtg: the issue with the packaging right now is just generating the ABI17:20
rtgzul: ok, that is not unexpected.17:20
rtgzul: ABI is always a pain17:21
zulrtg: tell me about it17:21
zulrtg: ill bug you about it in a bit17:22
rtgzul: ok17:22
=== Ng_ is now known as Ng
zulrtg: ping19:23
rtgzul: pong19:31
zulrtg: have you seen the way linux-rt package their kernel they basically take the debian directory fetch the linux-source from the archive and then patch and it build it, its quite neat Im going to use the same idea 19:32
rtgzul: seems reasonable.19:32
smb_tpCarlFK, I do not know of any way to reduce this timeout. However, as a workaround until the real problem is found, you might use "nohz=off highres=disabled". unfortunately this reduces battery time.19:44
CarlFKsmb_tp: shucks.  thanks 19:51
smb_tptjaalton, ping. Did you get the emails I sent you?20:10
tjaaltonsmb_tp: yep, need to try the packages tomorrow20:27
smb_tptjaalton, Ok, no hurry. It was just so quiet I wondered I had the right mail address...20:27
tjaaltonsmb_tp: heh, yeah it worked alright20:29
smb_tptjaalton, Ok, cool. :)20:29
zulrtg: i have the kernels built Ill upload them to my ppa and to my git tree as well21:21
