stephenr82hi guys, im having a problem with the jaunty kernel. i reckon its my config. i have my wireless drivers working fine with 8.10 but using make oldconfig with the 2.6.28 sources, im not getting them working18:42
aboSamooris alsa-kernel part of the kernel ?19:07
dandeli'd report the issue in this section, if it's wrong, they'll just redirect it... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver19:10
stephenr82could it not just be my configuration? Or should make oldconfig be guaranteed to provide the same behaviour as the old kernel19:13
aboSamoorI have problem [regression] with my alsa-kernel driver. Bug 278648. Any idea to solve ?19:14
ubot3Malone bug 278648 in linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24 "[regression]snd-hda-intel sound input does not work at all with Conexant CX20549 (Venice) chips " [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27864819:14
calcmaybe i am missing something... does laptop mode delay sync calls?20:05
calcotherwise if all these apps are supposed to be calling sync() to make sure they are in a consistent state wouldn't that essentially break laptop mode and make battery life really suck on laptops20:05
calcso you could either have known consistent state of files or working laptop mode? that is what i am confused about20:06
dtchendandel: they're almost always to be filed against linux, not alsa-driver.20:07
* calc doesn't know if anyone has presented that line of questioning to tytso, perhaps i am misunderstanding how sync and laptop mode interact though20:07
dtchendandel: i.e., very few people actually use module-assistant with alsa-source20:07
dtchenaboSamoor: it's known and being fixed20:08
mjg59calc: No, it doesn't delay sync20:10
calcmjg59: so then there is a real need of tracking meta data on a per file basis as was requested in the lp bug report, but that tytso indicated was hard/impossible(?) to do20:11
calcif there isn't a way to delay sync then it should only be used in critical writes and not as a form of meta data barriers as tytso has previously suggested20:12
calcat least in my understanding of the issue20:12
calcand in fact probably should have sync calls removed from more code rather than added so that hd's can sleep longer20:13
* calc wonders if the sync's were at least part of the cause of the spin count issue on laptop hdds20:14
calcesp with the firefox sync calls that at least used to happen20:15
