[02:14] NCommander: you around? [02:15] nm [02:17] lamont, yes I am [02:22] lamont, was there something I could have helped you with? [02:28] * NCommander returns to hitting the parisc kernel with a stick [02:29] NCommander: google sufficed [02:29] lamont, ah, BTW, if you have some time, I have an outstanding RT ticket w.r.t. to the ports-kernel and zinc that would be lovely to be taken care of soonish [02:29] * NCommander is currently fighting with the hppa config files [02:34] NCommander: I assume that ticket has a list of which devs should be in the porters group, yes? [02:34] * NCommander thinks so [02:36] lamont, rt #34122 [02:37] lamont, and no I didn't, but its currently myself, and themuso (and probably one or two other people who I'm unsure if they have zinc accounts) [02:40] * NCommander notes as soon as the next kernel upload goes, ia64 LiveCDs should be fixed [04:47] kewl [04:47] NCommander: and would be nice to get a custom jaunty livecd iso for ia64 somewhere... [04:51] lamont, want one? [04:51] lamont, *can build one for you fairly easily-ish* [04:51] I have a user [04:51] either live or alternate, don't care which, actually [04:51] lamont, feel like sponsoring some SRUs to fix the ports kernel? [04:52] lamont, the kernel in jaunty badly hosed w.r.t. to depends, I would need three or four SRUs to fix it [04:52] Alternative, we can throw sanity to the wind, and build the squashfs out of the karmic kernel which is close to fixed. [04:53] * NCommander notes ubuntu-desktop is fairly hosed in jaunty; karmic alpha 1 probably would be happier :-/ [04:53] heh. truthfully, I don't care too much if it's a data-center built iso... :-) [04:54] lamont, well, fixing jaunty would be painful, the kernel, kernel-meta, ubuntu-desktop, and probably a few other packages need SRUing [04:54] * NCommander lacks the hardware :-/ [04:55] ah, ok. [04:55] how about source + cookbook? [04:55] lamont, I have root access to an ia64 at HP, so I can run the livecd builds [04:55] lamont, I doubt I could get you a working base system. When I say the kernel is hosed, I mean uninstallable [04:55] I wasn't really planning to fix karmic :-/ [04:55] s/karmic/jaunty/g [04:56] * NCommander thinks [04:57] * NCommander looks to see if hardy's kernel lines up with what the seeds think [04:57] How about a Hardy liveCD? [04:57] The kernel and the seeds agree on what is sane [04:58] I can build the remaining ia64 packages that need fixing in my PPA [05:02] actually, that'd be cool [05:05] lamont, I'm trying to figure out why I know these [05:05] lamont, what variant do you want, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu? [05:06] there's something other than ubuntu? :-D [05:06] Well, it looks like most of ubuntu-desktop is there [05:06] I think I got kubuntu CDs once... still haven't run it ever though [05:06] * NCommander is looking at the FTBFS list [05:06] Well, I'm judging which desktop package is "least broken" [05:07] When was the last time we tried to build an ia64-anything :-) [05:07] 7.10 [05:07] 7.12 is when I quit HP [05:07] ubuntu-desktop IS installable on ia64 [05:08] Lets find out if we can build the squashfs [05:08] If we can, we'll take a 7.10 liveCD, take out its rootfs, put in the hardy one, and blamo [05:08] well, I don't remember if 7.10 actually _worked_ mind you... [05:08] lamont, best get out of your ia64 and test :-) [05:08] But hardy looking fairly happy on ia64 [05:09] At least I think I can build the rootfs, so if the kernel is bootable (and ubiquity works), your in business [05:09] as far as running: hardy: +1, intrepid: runs fine with hardy-kernel+intrepid-user, jaunty: runs fine (thanks NCommander ) [05:09] yeah - I testing ia64 is easy at the house. testing hppa is almost as easy. [05:10] * NCommander notes alternates are fairly difficult to build, so if I can get a liveCD to build, its MUCH easier [05:11] Paradoxially, the liveCDs are a *lot* simpler than the alternates [05:12] Hrm, we build an ia64 server CD [05:12] (for Hardy) [05:12] *built [05:12] lamont, that might be saner to have him use that, then install ubuntu-cd [05:13] yeah [05:13] s/ubuntu-cd/ubuntu-desktop [05:13] anyway, I'm told it's bedtime [05:13] or hop on anitmonthy and do a daily Hardy build :-) [05:13] lamont, have a good night
