[00:26] <maco> pgraner: hello?
[00:31] <akgraner> maco: he'll be right back...he is cooking dinner
[00:32] <akgraner> maco: it's his night...:)
[00:32] <laga> akgraner: he converted you to ubuntu the other day, right? i seem to remember reading about that on planet ubuntu
[00:32] <akgraner> laga: yep
[00:32] <akgraner> luvin' it
[00:32] <maco> laga: if you follow planet ubuntu women or ubuntu weblogs, you can see what she thinks about it
[00:33] <akgraner> laga: correction he didn't the t-shirt did....
[00:33] <laga> akgraner: good. took me a minute to figure out why you knew he was cooking dinner when i didn't see it in the chat logs. ;)
[00:35] <maco> seeing akgraner  and assuming #ubuntu-women was why i was all OT before
[00:35] <akgraner> laga: :)
[00:36] <laga> akgraner: matching last names was a bit of a giveaway, though. :)
[00:40] <akgraner> laga: he claims me once in a while...
[00:40] <akgraner> maco: he's almost finished...sorry
[00:41] <maco> haha thats fine. i'm both eating and trying to find kirkland to get him to ok a patch
[00:43] <akgraner> maco: ok
[00:50] <pgraner> maco: bug no?
[00:51] <maco> pgraner: bug 327949
[00:51] <ubot3> maco: Error: Could not parse data returned by Malone: The read operation timed out
[00:51] <maco> -_-
[00:51] <maco> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/327949
[00:52]  * pgraner looks
[00:52] <maco> this was marked as a dupe of the acpi_fakekey is broken bug, but then slangasek said fakekey's going away and the quirks should be in the kernel, stop relying on fakekey
[00:53] <maco> so i'd like to learn to fix these hotkey bugs. i believe mine belongs in drivers/misc/asus_laptop.c
[00:56] <pgraner> maco: your understanding is correct... we are quirking in the kernel now... apw is our hot key expert I need to check out the source and see if thats the right place (sounds like it tho)
[00:59] <maco> pgraner: i do see ASUS_HANDLE(ls_switch, ASUS_HOTK_PREFIX "ALSC"); in the area under the /* display */ comment, so i *think* that's what i should look at
[01:01] <pgraner> maco: so when you hit the hot key you don't see a scan code? ie. if you run xev in a term and it the hotkey you don't see anything?
[01:01] <maco> exactly
[01:03] <maco> pgraner: ^
[01:04] <maco> nothing from xev or input-events
[01:07] <pgraner> maco: what keys are borked?
[01:07] <maco> video output switch and www key
[01:10] <pgraner> maco: looks like those keys are not defined in the source 
[01:10] <pgraner> #define ATKD_BR_UP       0x10
[01:10] <pgraner> #define ATKD_BR_DOWN     0x20
[01:10] <pgraner> #define ATKD_LCD_ON      0x33
[01:10] <pgraner> #define ATKD_LCD_OFF     0x34
[01:11] <pgraner> maco: it looks like the driver expects the DSDT table to provide those values, you'll have to disssasemble the DSDT to see what hex value its passing and then you can add it, and write the function to toggle it.
[01:12] <maco> ok...
[01:12] <maco> um, how do i find the dsdt?
[01:12] <pgraner> maco: instructions are here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BIOSandUbuntu
[01:13]  * maco looks
[01:14] <pgraner> maco: I'll have apw or cking write a "hotkey" section to show you where to look in the dsdt for the hotkey info
[01:15]  * pgraner has very little dsdt-fu
[01:15] <maco> O_O wow iasl rocks
[01:18] <maco> objdump is the only way i've ever tried disassembling anything, and that results in assembly
[01:21] <maco> er, that's obvious i guess...seeing as it's disassembling....but i'm surprised to see stuff i can read easily instead of intel asm
[01:21] <maco> (by which i mean, there are english words involved)
[01:25] <pgraner> maco: lol, enjoy, I'll have my guys edit that page so I would suggest you subscribe to it. Does that give you enough to go on?
[01:25] <maco> i'm attempting to see if, aside from reading this, i can actually understand any of what's going on :P
[01:25] <maco> though i think i'll have to stop soon and wait for tomorrow since i actually have to write some assembly tonight for school
[01:26] <maco> pgraner: thank you
[01:31] <pgraner> maco: no prob
[13:42] <penguin42> do you guys use any particular tags on bugs associated with the linux package - it strikes me you must get tons of stuff that could often be grouped into different things (e.g. USB, optical drives etc)
