| mase_work | hey guys, was wondering if I could get some clarification on a bug report (i'm not even sure i'm asking in the right channel ) .https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/245779 . It says the kernel team has been unsubscribed from this report, which is cool but it doesn't really have a resolution. Does this mean that there will be no fix in 8.04 or does it mean this has been sent off to some other place where it goes in | 05:53 |
|---|---|---|
| mase_work | with the rest of the reports ? | 05:53 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 245779 in linux "Server 8.04 LTS: soft lockup - CPU#1 stuck for 11s! [bond1:3795] - bond - bond0" [High,Confirmed] | 05:53 |

| pwnguin | so here's an odd report | 21:57 |
| pwnguin | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/156133 | 21:57 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 156133 in linux-firmware "bluez suite lacks bluez-firmware package" [Undecided,Incomplete] | 21:58 |
| pwnguin | a user is reporting that | 21:58 |
| pwnguin | # ln -s bcm2033-fw.bin BCM2033-FW.bin | 21:58 |
| pwnguin | # ln -s bcm2033-fw.bin BCM2033-FW.bin | 21:58 |
| pwnguin | err | 21:58 |
| pwnguin | a user is reporting that that symlink fixes a bluetooth bug | 21:59 |
| crimsun | the capitalisation is causing the bug? mmkay. | 21:59 |
| pwnguin | well | 21:59 |
| pwnguin | entirely plausible | 21:59 |
| pwnguin | the driver looks for a given file | 22:00 |
| pwnguin | loads the file into wherever | 22:00 |
| pwnguin | ext3 is case sensetive; windows generally is not | 22:01 |
| crimsun | it's certainly a candidate for silliest source bug ever | 22:02 |
| pwnguin | na | 22:02 |
| pwnguin | when i was working with TinyOS, there were a lot of bugs like this | 22:02 |
| pwnguin | that caused fail to build | 22:02 |
| crimsun | doesn't make the bugs any less silly | 22:02 |
| pwnguin | #include "dbg.h" | 22:03 |
| pwnguin | in absolute terms, but silliest is a relative statement | 22:03 |
| crimsun | seriously, though, the friggin case is hard-coded into the source :/ | 22:08 |
| pwnguin | heh | 22:10 |
| pwnguin | i haven't found the code yet | 22:10 |
| crimsun | line 222, http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git;a=blob;f=drivers/bluetooth/bcm203x.c;h=ee40201c7278ad94aadf43ac220c1cedfd67c49e;hb=HEAD | 22:10 |
| pwnguin | so, patch the kernel or change the file's case? | 22:12 |
| crimsun | doesn't really make a difference | 22:15 |
| pwnguin | well, where does the firmware bin files come from? | 22:16 |
| crimsun | linux-firmware | 22:16 |
| pwnguin | thats not what i meant | 22:16 |
| pwnguin | linux-firmware came from somewhere else | 22:16 |
| crimsun | i suppose you could contact bluetooth_help@broadcom.com | 22:17 |
| crimsun | that's what linux-firmware's firmware/broadcom/BCM-LEGAL.txt contains, at least | 22:17 |
| crimsun | in any case, i have no idea if renaming the files is permitted, though i don't see why not [as the source package is in main, not restricted] | 22:18 |
| crimsun | it would probably be simpler to perform the renaming in linux-firmware's debian/rules | 22:19 |
