| stgraber | well, I don't expect you to be around that early (your time). When you get back, can you please update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases with Ubuntu Mobile/MID cases ? I want the changes to be ready for the update on Monday | 00:23 |
| emma | What is the task of an ubuntu tester? | 00:26 |

| PrivateVoid | I am reading up on the e1000e issues with Intrepid... and I would like to check for understanding... the bug has been fixed; right? | 14:05 |

| PrivateVoid | I am reading up on the e1000e issues with Intrepid... and I would like to check for understanding... the bug has been fixed; right? | 14:58 |
| * PrivateVoid knocks on the table | 15:15 | |
| charlie-tca | Is the bug number given? | 15:23 |
| charlie-tca | PrivateVoid: I believe the issues have been worked. Does the information give the bug number? | 15:27 |
| PrivateVoid | I believe it to be fixed too... let me find the information again | 15:32 |
| PrivateVoid1 | https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263555 | 15:33 |
| ubot5` | Launchpad bug 263555 in linux "[intrepid] 2.6.27 e1000e driver places Intel ICH8 and ICH9 gigE chipsets at risk" [Critical,Fix released] | 15:33 |
| PrivateVoid1 | sorry got a discon there | 15:33 |
| charlie-tca | np, let me see | 15:34 |
| PrivateVoid1 | http://lwn.net/Articles/303390/ - that is an article about the FIX upstream | 15:34 |
| charlie-tca | It says fix Released, so yes, it's good now | 15:35 |
| PrivateVoid1 | and from what I can tell Ubuntu is patching the issue with the 2.6.27 kernel as opposed to using the 2.6.27.1 kernel | 15:35 |
| PrivateVoid1 | that is the part I am fuzzy on... | 15:35 |
| charlie-tca | Yea, we're up to 2.6.27.7 now | 15:35 |
| PrivateVoid1 | what is the difference between the 2.6.27-# notation and 2.6.27.# ? | 15:36 |
| PrivateVoid1 | just sematics? | 15:36 |
| charlie-tca | the changes made without changing the basic kernel | 15:36 |
| charlie-tca | the kernel is the 2.6.27, the rest of the numbers reflect the changes to what is added/loaded with it | 15:37 |
| PrivateVoid1 | but is there a difference between 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.27.7? | 15:37 |
| PrivateVoid1 | sorry that I am not following... | 15:38 |
| charlie-tca | no, they are both the same numbers. The problem was before the 2.6.27 kernel | 15:40 |
| charlie-tca | In 2.6.27.1, the bug was disabled | 15:41 |
| charlie-tca | In 2.6.27, it is still disabled, I believe | 15:41 |
| charlie-tca | It will re-enable in 2.6.28 | 15:42 |
| charlie-tca | I don't really understand all the digits, but the 27 and 28 matter | 15:42 |
| PrivateVoid1 | ok... | 15:42 |
| PrivateVoid1 | only been using Linux for a year so trying to understand everything | 15:43 |
| PrivateVoid1 | would hate to brick my hardware... | 15:43 |
| charlie-tca | Yea, I know that feeling. I don't think i'll ever understand it. You won't brick it | 15:43 |
| charlie-tca | unless you load an old version of Intrepid. Even the beta is okay | 15:44 |
| PrivateVoid1 | thanks... I will try the daily builds (as of today) | 15:44 |
| PrivateVoid1 | the beta just blacklisted the e1000e cards | 15:45 |
| PrivateVoid1 | so I had no internet | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | Might be the same now. I still show the .27 kernel in use | 15:45 |
| PrivateVoid1 | the beta was .27? | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | Yea, 2.6.27.? | 15:46 |
| PrivateVoid1 | well... I will live boot and give it a go... if it doesn't work I will stay with 8.04 for a while | 15:46 |
| PrivateVoid1 | thanks for the help | 15:46 |
| charlie-tca | That's it. | 15:46 |
| charlie-tca | You're welcome | 15:46 |
| ubuntu__ | hey charlie-tca the latest builds - at least the option - has the e1000e working | 16:07 |
| charlie-tca | That's great. | 16:07 |
| ubuntu__ | yeah... some other nice fixes with 8.10 too | 16:07 |
| ubuntu__ | resource manager actually reports the file system properly | 16:07 |
| charlie-tca | Now if we can get manual partitions to work, hey. | 16:08 |
| ubuntu__ | lol | 16:08 |
| ubuntu__ | that would help | 16:08 |
| nanomad_ | mhh...just upgraded from 8.04 and i've got no keyb or mouse in X | 20:54 |
| nanomad_ | while i can use them in the other PC | 20:54 |
| nanomad_ | are there any known bugs with the latest version of xorg? | 20:54 |
