earlmredis there any documentation on how to prepare a PPA for a custom flavor?08:10
maxbSurely you don't need to do anything to the PPA, just to the source package?09:10
lesshastehi10:10
lesshasteis there a channel for low level questions? I want to find a way to limit the RAM usage of a single process. this will presumably require a kernel patch10:11
lesshastewhere is /proc/config.gz on ubuntu? Is it somewhere else or just missing?10:30
makkethere is /boot/config-`uname -r`10:33
lesshastemakke: thanks10:35

xteejxHi guys, I'm having a problem with a users bug, specifically bug 114010, and I was wondering instead of subscribing the Kernel Team, if someone would have a look at it, it's a bug in ppp, and this is part of the kernel now isn't it?16:21
ubot3Malone bug 114010 in ppp "pppd logs incorrect traffic stats" [Low,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/11401016:21
johanbrxteejx: there is a kernel PPP driver16:26
johanbrBut pppd is a userspace program.16:26
xteejxjohanbr: ok, so it could just be pppd itself and not the driver? no worries, i got him doing a gdb backtrace anyway but thanks :)16:29
johanbrxteejx: a backtrace of what, exactly? this isn't a crash after all16:30
johanbrit looks like a simple overflow in pppd16:30
xteejxim new to triaging you see and someone on IRC told me to get a backtrace from him16:31
johanbrin this case, that's unlikely to be helpful16:31
johanbryou can ask if the traffic statistics reported by ifconfig also overflow16:31
johanbrif they do, it's a bug in the kernel16:31
johanbrif they don't, it's a bug in pppd16:32
xteejxok i'll ask for that then thank you :)16:32
johanbryou're welcome16:32
