[15:11] <SiDi> hi people
[15:12] <SiDi> Does anyone mind telling me if theres an "official" PPA for the latest kernels ?

[15:28] <ubot3> Factoid bug 338701 not found
[15:30] <dandel> I got that bug bisected, and it was a pain ( took over 40 kernel compiles to pinpoint which file and patch caused the break )
[15:34] <dandel> SiDi, Do you know how to build the kernel yourself? (it's rather painless once you get used to it )
[15:34] <SiDi> dandel: i never compiled a kernel :)
[15:34] <dandel> want to learn?
[15:35] <dandel> After all, knowing how to compile it makes it much faster for yourself to run a bisect to pinpoint where something broke ><; (if it does )
[15:35] <SiDi> what you said is really reassuring me :]
[15:36] <dandel> Do you want vinilla kernel or ubuntu kernel ?
[15:37] <SiDi> Ubuntu :P
[15:37] <SiDi> Let's not take too many risks
[15:38] <dandel> SiDi, vinilla kernel is "better" to test against, because that is what all the other distributions pull.
[15:38] <SiDi> Alright then
[15:38] <SiDi> anyways, if its an epic failure i'll go back to my current one :)
[15:38] <dandel> yea.
[15:39]  * dandel gets list of packes to install.
[15:40] <dandel> ok, the packages listed here are very useful: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[15:41] <SiDi> Reasons for NOT compiling : You have no idea what you are doing. Thats totally me
[15:41] <SiDi> i'll ping you when i'm ready :) got an apt-get already running for at least half an hour :X
[15:42] <dandel> oh, and do you have git-core installed too?
[15:44] <SiDi> i got git yeh
[15:46] <dandel> after you get the required compile tools, pick a directory and run this command to get the kernel code for vinilla... git clone linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
[15:46] <SiDi> ack
[15:47] <dandel> Oh, once you have the git, it's actually fairly fast to update to latest code :D
[15:47] <SiDi> Well, my bandwidth is all but fast :]
[15:47] <dandel> I understand.
[15:47] <dandel> the clone always takes the most time.
[15:49] <dandel> however, the when the update is ran, which is "git pull", it takes a lot less time.
[15:49]  * SiDi uses Git for other projects :p
[15:54] <dandel> I only have maybe 5 commands total i use to build the kernel each revision, and 2 of those are to simply put it in the boot manager.
[15:54] <SiDi> Is there a laptop kernel flavour btw ?
[15:55] <dandel> the laptop kernel flavor is the kernel itself :P
[15:56] <dandel> The kernel actually has no differences between laptop and desktop, although server might have some slight tweaks on how it's configured.
[15:57] <SiDi> okey :)
[15:58] <dandel> I was actually testing my laptop the past 3 or 4 days with various revisions on the vanilla kernel.
[15:59] <apw> there are some vanilla kernel .debs in the kernel-team site: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds
[16:00] <dandel> ah, APW, just the person i wanted to see.
[16:00]  * apw becomes transparent
[16:00] <dandel> har har... I got the bug which i was working on finally pinpointed to the exact patch.
[16:01] <SiDi> apw: thanks :D
[16:01] <apw> dandel, sounds good
[16:01] <dandel> Yea, but when i unroll that patch, the acpi works again, but it undoes what that patch is supposed to do.
[16:02] <apw> thats a start at least
[16:02] <dandel> does the bot have commit patch info support?
[16:03] <apw> dunno, never thoought to test that
[16:04] <dandel> Oh well, here's the patch details though (this one breaks my acpi)... http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=729b2bdbfa19dd9be98dbd49caf2773b3271cc24
[16:04] <apw> you added that to the bug?
[16:04] <apw> and which bug?

[16:05] <apw> doh silly ubot3
[16:05] <dandel> Yea, well, on the kernel bugzilla, it's bug 12873
[16:05] <ubot3> dandel: Error: Could not parse data returned by Malone: The read operation timed out
[16:06] <dandel> I did an unroll patch against 2.6.30-rc4 and it fixed it
[16:09] <dandel> I'm not exactly a happy camper because this bug took 4 days worth of commit testing and compiles to pinpoint. (which was 42 compiles from last count) 
[16:18] <apw> dandel, that commit pointed there is a merge of a bunch of things, did you have a more specific sha1?
[16:20] <dandel> Actually, yes.
[16:20] <dandel> look at the actaully link to the kernel.org patch i pasted in irc 15 min ago.
[16:21] <apw> ahh yes ...
[16:22] <apw> we need that in the bug too so its not lost
[16:23] <dandel> recheck the page, i posted the git report.
[16:23] <apw> thanks ... hmmm
[16:24] <dandel> I think it's possibly related to the fact this laptop might be able to wake up from sleep if the battery is low.
[16:59] <SiDi> Hey again
[16:59] <dandel> hi.
[16:59] <SiDi> dandel: thanks for your links. i'll hack my kernel later, i forgot i needed a stable machine for an oral exam in a few weeks :)
[19:10] <Balrog_> Hi ... is Ubuntu's 2.6.28 kernel supposed to work with the Compaq Armada M700? I get this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346889
[19:10] <ubot3> Malone bug 346889 in linux-meta "Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 6 (Kernel 2.6.28) crashes Compaq Armada M700 during boot-up." [Undecided,New] 
[19:11] <Balrog_> anyone wants to help figure out what's going on?
[19:18] <dandel> Darling, have you tried booting and seeing if any crashes/warnings occur during boot?
[19:19] <Balrog_> Yes ... seems to crash on drivers
[19:20] <dandel> Can you get the log and put that up?
[19:21] <Balrog_> How would I get the log? It crashes early in the boot process
[19:21] <dandel> Second computer.
[19:22] <dandel> and also check to see if /var/log/dmesg.1 exists i think.
[19:22] <Balrog_> it hangs for a while at "Loading hardware drivers," then hangs for good at "Loading manual drivers"
[19:23] <Balrog_> I'll get the logs ... they're located in /var/log under what names?
[19:23] <dandel> /var/log/dmesg.1 or /var/log/dmesg.0 or something like that might have it
[19:23] <Balrog_> ok.
[19:23] <Balrog_> give me a few minutes
[19:30] <Balrog_> dandel: I have logs
[19:30] <dandel> ok... put those up
[19:32] <Balrog_> dandel: it's crashing before anything gets logged
[19:33] <dandel> hmm
[19:35] <dandel> try building the kernel 2.6.29 or 2.6.30-rc4 kernel and see if that works.
[19:38] <dandel> I looked at the spec for that laptop, have you tried another distribution's boot disk with a 2.6.28 kernel or newer? 
[19:39] <apw> i think they have tries 2.6.29.1 from the kernel-ppa
[19:40] <Balrog_> OK. I'll be away for a bit.
[20:33] <Balrog_> dandel: and apw: 2.6.29.2 crashes :)
[20:33] <Balrog_> :( *
[20:33] <Balrog_> I think I'm going back to Intrepid
