[00:22] persia: you around ? [00:23] 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 [00:26] What is the task of an ubuntu tester? [04:25] persia: ping === asac__ is now known as asac [14:05] I am reading up on the e1000e issues with Intrepid... and I would like to check for understanding... the bug has been fixed; right? === erle64- is now known as erle- [14:58] I am reading up on the e1000e issues with Intrepid... and I would like to check for understanding... the bug has been fixed; right? [15:15] * PrivateVoid knocks on the table [15:23] Is the bug number given? [15:27] PrivateVoid: I believe the issues have been worked. Does the information give the bug number? [15:32] I believe it to be fixed too... let me find the information again [15:33] https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/263555 [15:33] 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] sorry got a discon there [15:34] np, let me see [15:34] http://lwn.net/Articles/303390/ - that is an article about the FIX upstream [15:35] It says fix Released, so yes, it's good now [15:35] 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] that is the part I am fuzzy on... [15:35] Yea, we're up to 2.6.27.7 now [15:36] what is the difference between the 2.6.27-# notation and 2.6.27.# ? [15:36] just sematics? [15:36] the changes made without changing the basic kernel [15:37] the kernel is the 2.6.27, the rest of the numbers reflect the changes to what is added/loaded with it [15:37] but is there a difference between 2.6.27-7 and 2.6.27.7? [15:38] sorry that I am not following... [15:40] no, they are both the same numbers. The problem was before the 2.6.27 kernel [15:41] In 2.6.27.1, the bug was disabled [15:41] In 2.6.27, it is still disabled, I believe [15:42] It will re-enable in 2.6.28 [15:42] I don't really understand all the digits, but the 27 and 28 matter [15:42] ok... [15:43] only been using Linux for a year so trying to understand everything [15:43] would hate to brick my hardware... [15:43] Yea, I know that feeling. I don't think i'll ever understand it. You won't brick it [15:44] unless you load an old version of Intrepid. Even the beta is okay [15:44] thanks... I will try the daily builds (as of today) [15:45] the beta just blacklisted the e1000e cards [15:45] so I had no internet [15:45] Might be the same now. I still show the .27 kernel in use [15:45] the beta was .27? [15:46] Yea, 2.6.27.? [15:46] 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] thanks for the help [15:46] That's it. [15:46] You're welcome [16:07] hey charlie-tca the latest builds - at least the option - has the e1000e working [16:07] That's great. [16:07] yeah... some other nice fixes with 8.10 too [16:07] resource manager actually reports the file system properly [16:08] Now if we can get manual partitions to work, hey. [16:08] lol [16:08] that would help [20:54] mhh...just upgraded from 8.04 and i've got no keyb or mouse in X [20:54] while i can use them in the other PC [20:54] are there any known bugs with the latest version of xorg? === nanomad_ is now known as nanomad === erle64- is now known as erle-
