| TheMuso | apw: Do you have those rebase script tweaks in a git repo yet? If so I should take a look at them as part of my getting linux-libc-dev for !x86/armel upoaded. | 14:36 |

| TheMuso | apw: Never mind, I see the lpia upload. I'll pull that tree and have a look. | 14:53 |
| apw | TheMuso, yeah rebase-lpia should be the right one in the lpia tree | 15:11 |
| TheMuso | apw: Yeah got it, I'm going to use rebase/retag-lpia and change them for ports and use them as a base. | 15:13 |
| apw | TheMuso, cool. if you need to ask anything about how its intended to work etc yell | 15:17 |
| TheMuso | apw: Thanks, but I think I'll be right. | 15:18 |
| praveen | is there any way for a thread to figure out if its is being traced by someone or not | 15:37 |
| TheMuso | c | 15:54 |
| TheMuso | apw, smb_tp, I am making progress. apw I have rebased based on your new script changes. Just need to make a few more changes before I'm willing to upload a git tree. I should have something ready tomorrow morning, given I'm not pulled away for discussions/meetings. | 16:51 |
| apw | TheMuso, that is awsome | 16:52 |
| smb_tp | TheMuso, Great | 16:52 |
| * lamont has a kvm/intrepid question... | 16:55 | |
| lamont | so kvm host with winxp runninng inside it (so shoot me)... if the kvm window is in another workspace, it appears that (at least) when the windoze app is doing I/O, that it blocks because the window isn't in the foreground workspace... how do I beat that into submission^W working anyway? | 16:56 |
| lamont | no libvirt involved here - that makes me cry somewhat | 16:56 |
| soren | lamont: JOOI... Compiz or no compiz? | 16:58 |
| lamont | metacity | 16:59 |
| lamont | metacity | 16:59 |
| soren | Could you try with compiz? Just for fun? | 16:59 |
| lamont | 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) | 16:59 |
| lamont | soren: that involves figuring out who to actually turn on compiz... and all of the pain that it causes | 17:00 |
| * soren has a half baked hypothesis about the cause of this | 17:00 | |
| soren | lamont: just do "compiz --replace" in a terminal. | 17:00 |
| soren | lamont: And when you get bored with all the wobbliness, do "metacity --replace". | 17:00 |
| lamont | soren: the only really-missing bit from compiz for me is keyboardFocusPolicy == strict | 17:01 |
| lamont | which, uh, is documented in the source of metacity... | 17:01 |
| lamont | :-) | 17:01 |
| lamont | and available via gconf-editor | 17:01 |
| lamont | well, that seems to have let it finish running | 17:01 |
| lamont | I'll give it a better test next time I boot the beatsy | 17:02 |
| lamont | beasty, even | 17:02 |
| * lamont likes the way compiz/metacity --replace hijacks the terminal window by not daemonizing. | 17:02 | |
| lamont | well, maybe 'likes' isn't completely accurate | 17:03 |
| soren | It's a feature. | 17:03 |
| lamont | soren: for many bonus points and beers, port metacity-2.24.0/debian/patches/001_strict_focus.patch to compiz | 17:04 |
| lamont | Q: when does the newly created window get focus? A: NEVER | 17:05 |
| lamont | soren: http://paste.ubuntu.com/113264/ explains _why_ switching to compiz didn't change anything... | 17:19 |
| lamont | in that it didn't switch | 17:19 |

| maco | hi kernel people. ive been looking at bug 272530 for a while, and it's turning out to be something that can be fixed on some machines using a bios update. on other machines, the most recent bios doesn't help. i'm guessing it's still a bios bug, just one that's being ignored by some manufacturers. should it be invalidated, or is there some way the kernel can work around the issue? | 21:41 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 272530 in linux "64-bit Intrepid automatic permanent reboot loop related to having exactly 4GB of memory" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/272530 | 21:41 |
| dtchen | it's very much still a bios bug. if enough info is provided, namely dmidecode, it could be warned during boot. | 21:45 |
| maco | dtchen: dmidecode? i dont know how to tell them to get that info | 21:53 |
| maco | dtchen: and when you say "warned on boot" do you mean throwing up a "you have a bios bug, so this won't work" message or finding a way to work around it? | 21:53 |
| dtchen | the former | 21:54 |
| dtchen | dmidecode is shipped by default | 21:54 |
| dtchen | in fact, some of the necessary info is already grabbed during boot; see /var/lib/acpi-support | 21:54 |
| maco | oh just "dmidecode > dmidecode.txt"? | 21:54 |
| dtchen | specifically, see /etc/acpi/start.d/10-save-dmidecode.sh | 21:55 |
