| ogasawara | jbarnes: I assume you're referring to http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/6/114 from Jens? I don't think they're currently in the Jaunty kernel. | 02:01 |
|---|---|---|
| ogasawara | jbarnes: do you know if a bug has been opened in launchpad requesting they be considered for a stable release update? | 02:02 |
| ogasawara | jbarnes: if not we'll want to open one (ie let me know and I can open one for you and nudge the kernel team to consider) | 02:03 |
| jbarnes | ogasawara: no I'm not sure... I think there may be some ext3 related patches as well | 02:03 |
| jbarnes | given how bad interactive perf has been under I/O load it seems like Jaunty should get something | 02:03 |
| jbarnes | ogasawara: oh and btw I think "make install" from a kernel build still fails to update grub/menu.lst and create an initramfs | 02:09 |
| jbarnes | I think there's a launchpad about that, but I thought it was supposed to be fixed by now | 02:09 |
| ogasawara | jbarnes: thanks, I'll see if I can find it. | 02:10 |
| ogasawara | jbarnes: I'll go ahead and open a bug for the SRU of those patches, want me to just subscribe you to it | 02:10 |
| jbarnes | ogasawara: sure thanks, I'd be happy to test | 02:10 |

| iulianpojar1 | i want high memory support in ubuntu generik kernel 32bit as default | 08:49 |
| iulianpojar1 | how can i acomplish that? | 08:50 |
| amitk | iulianpojar1: it won't happen for Jaunty. We are considering it for Karmic | 08:50 |
| iulianpojar1 | i can't use the server kernel because of drivers for video card | 08:51 |
| iulianpojar1 | they don't install with the server edition | 08:51 |
| iulianpojar1 | and i have 8gb of ram, and using just 3,2gb of them :( | 08:52 |
| amitk | iulianpojar1: I understand. What video card do you have? | 08:53 |
| iulianpojar1 | amd radeon 4670 | 08:53 |
| amitk | tjaalton: ^^^ | 08:54 |
| amitk | iulianpojar1: what probablems do you have with drivers on the server kernel? | 08:55 |
| amitk | *problems | 08:55 |
| iulianpojar1 | fglrx drivers do not load | 08:55 |
| tjaalton | fglrx fail | 08:56 |
| iulianpojar1 | and ati (open source) drivers have just 2d support | 08:56 |
| amitk | iulianpojar1: we are considering enabling PAE (high-mem support) in 32-bit generic kernel for the next release. | 08:58 |
| amitk | There just weren't too many *desktop* machines with 4G+ of RAM earlier | 08:59 |
| tjaalton | my laptop has 4GB :) | 08:59 |
| iulianpojar1 | half a year waiting, and thats 2 years after the hardware makers | 08:59 |
| iulianpojar1 | that gave us 8gb of ram on every ddr2 mobo | 08:59 |
| tjaalton | why don't you run 64bit? | 09:00 |
| amitk | that was just my next question :) | 09:00 |
| iulianpojar1 | when 8gb of ddr2 ram is under 40$ in retail , i have aplications that do not run in 32 bit mode | 09:01 |
| iulianpojar1 | sorry, 64 bit mode | 09:01 |
| amitk | iulianpojar1: do you have examples? We need to know who to blame for people not moving to 64-bit ;) | 09:02 |
| tjaalton | and usually it's just ia32-libs missing some 32bit libraries, in which case those can be added by the admin | 09:04 |
| * amitk nods | 09:04 | |
| amitk | most common proprietary apps now run on 64-bit (flash, skype, java) | 09:05 |
| iulianpojar1 | unison, and some other synchronistaion software can't run between 32 bit to 64 bit machines | 09:05 |
| tjaalton | hmm? unison most certainly does | 09:06 |
| amitk | iulianpojar1: I've been running unison between my amd64 and i386 box for ages | 09:06 |
| iulianpojar1 | and i have to use it between home-desktop netbook and work-station | 09:06 |
| iulianpojar1 | doesn't work for me :( | 09:07 |
| amitk | iulianpojar1: different versions? like hardy against jaunty? | 09:08 |
| amitk | i know unison has problems with that | 09:08 |
| iulianpojar1 | the same hardy | 09:08 |
| amitk | though intrepid against jaunty worked just fine | 09:08 |
| iulianpojar1 | then i'l have to upgrade | 09:09 |

| ikepanhc | smb: how do you think about backport lenovo-sl-laptop to hardy LBM? could you give me some suggestion? | 14:17 |
| === canonical_millba is now known as elmo | ||
| ikepanhc | smb: after amit's suggestion, I think I shall wait for the answer of the driver maintainer | 14:18 |
| smb | ikepanhc, Is there a big asking for it for hardy? | 14:18 |
| ikepanhc | smb: I dont think so :P | 14:19 |
| smb | ikepanhc, So, I'd wait for that first. It is probably not something you cannot live without. ;-) | 14:20 |
| ikepanhc | thanks, I will try to have a talk with the maintainer | 14:20 |

| apw | smb, on your jaunty install, can you see if VT-1 is working ok for you | 15:11 |
| smb | apw, Give me a sec I boot it up | 15:12 |
| apw | some of us have nothing on our VT's other than X. just a cursor | 15:12 |
| smb | But I thought it did | 15:12 |
| apw | trying to find a pattern to those who do and dont | 15:12 |
| smb | I think it is on RC level. vt1-6 work | 15:14 |
| apw | i have nothing on mine | 15:15 |
| smb | GFX is ATI Radeon 3400 | 15:15 |
| apw | smb, thanks | 15:16 |

| jcastro | anyone from the kernel team interested in a kernel session for ubuntu openweek? | 15:47 |
| jcastro | It doesn't need to be highly technical, just an overview of kernel stuff in jaunty, what you plan to do for karmic, etc. | 15:47 |

| awe | apw: ping | 19:55 |
| awe | rtg: can you answer a question about hardy l-r-m and the volatile mechanism? | 19:59 |
| rtg | awe: I expect he's into his 3rd beer by now. | 19:59 |
| awe | rtg: i'm trying to debug the wl wrapper, and i can't seem to figure out how to force my updated module to get picked up... | 19:59 |
| rtg | awe: get picked up... ? what does that mean? | 20:00 |
| awe | rtg: yea, i wish i was into my 3rd beer..., but i've got a release party and the celtics game to look forward to tonight. ;) | 20:00 |
| rtg | awe: are you rebuilding the whole package and re-installing every time? | 20:01 |
| awe | rtg: yes | 20:01 |
| rtg | hmm, how can it _not_ use the new module? | 20:01 |
| awe | rtg: first i tried creating a patch, that didn't seem to work, so next i just modified the tarball directly. | 20:01 |
| awe | i can't seem to get a simple printk to work. seems pretty trivial, i know | 20:02 |
| rtg | awe: hmm, I though smb unrolled Broadcom in LRM. | 20:02 |
| awe | ? | 20:03 |
| rtg | awe: source instead of tarball. I'll have to look | 20:03 |
| awe | in our version, it's just two gzip'd tarballs | 20:04 |
| awe | one _32 and one _64 | 20:04 |
| rtg | I should get him to start a git repo for it as well. | 20:04 |
| awe | anyways, i'll keep poking at it... i just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything funny going on w/l-r-m that i was missing... | 20:05 |
| rtg | awe: one oddity about LRM is hat it doesn't do the final module link until boot time | 20:05 |
| awe | rtg: yea, i noticed that... thanks | 20:06 |
| rtg | awe: smb _did_ unroll the distro version of LRM | 20:06 |
| awe | rtg: ok, | 20:07 |
| rtg | awe: I'm going to ask Stefan to creatre a git repo with a netbook-lpia branch, just like the other kernel packages | 20:07 |
| awe | rtg: cool, i think it'd make it much easier to work with | 20:11 |
| rtg | awe: are you subscribed to kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com ? that's where I'm sending the note | 20:12 |
| awe | rtg: yes | 20:12 |
