[00:22] <stgraber> persia: you around ?
[00:23] <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
[00:26] <emma> What is the task of an ubuntu tester?
[04:25] <stgraber> persia: ping
[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> 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] <charlie-tca> Is the bug number given?
[15:27] <charlie-tca> PrivateVoid: I believe the issues have been worked. Does the information give the bug number?
[15:32] <PrivateVoid> I believe it to be fixed too... let me find the information again
[15:33] <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
[15:34] <charlie-tca> np, let me see
[15:34] <PrivateVoid1> http://lwn.net/Articles/303390/ - that is an article about the FIX upstream
[15:35] <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
[15:36] <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
[15:37] <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?
[15:38] <PrivateVoid1> sorry that I am not following...
[15:40] <charlie-tca> no, they are both the same numbers. The problem was before the 2.6.27 kernel
[15:41] <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
[15:42] <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...
[15:43] <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
[15:44] <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)
[15:45] <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?
[15:46] <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
[16:07] <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
[16:08] <charlie-tca> Now if we can get manual partitions to work, hey.
[16:08] <ubuntu__> lol
[16:08] <ubuntu__> that would help
[20:54] <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?
