[01:26] <dandel> i need to ask, when booting with single boot option, is the default tests one does in that supposed to not be logged in case it results in a failure?
[01:28] <dandel> i've ran in to a few issues when testing my acpi and such where the acpi doesn't return my display to a usable state, and when i reboot to check the kernel and system log files, i find large blocks of missing test sessions, which occurred while booted in to the single user mode.
[02:17] <sgodsell> hello everyone
[02:17] <sgodsell> is there a mkinitrd command in ubuntu?
[02:18] <sgodsell> how do you make the initrd file for ubuntu?
[02:18] <sgodsell> I know in fedora or redhat it is mkinitrd command
[02:23] <dandel> yes.
[02:23] <dandel> it's called minitramfs
[02:24] <dandel> *mkinitramfs
[02:24] <sgodsell> dandel but its not the same
[02:24] <dandel> it does.
[02:24] <sgodsell> you don't specify the kernel version
[02:24] <dandel> mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrdfile version
[02:25] <sgodsell> okay
[02:25] <sgodsell> I will try that then
[02:25] <dandel> initrdfile is the target file.
[02:26] <sgodsell> dandel, if you need to add a module.   How do you add it?
[02:26] <dandel> like?
[02:26] <dandel> ubuntu auto detects all modules in the initrd from what i know.
[02:27] <dandel> only special task on certain modules, like having to blacklist ath5k to use the ath_pci module is really required.
[02:27] <sgodsell> oh, wait the man page said to use /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[02:27] <sgodsell> so I guess I modify that file then
[02:28] <sgodsell> thank you dandel 
[02:28] <sgodsell> thanks for your help
[02:28] <dandel> np, actually i have other issues i'm trying to fix/figure out with that ><;
[02:29]  * dandel really wonders why when i boot with  the flag, "single" it causes all system, kernel, and etc logs to not be logged happens.
[02:30] <dandel> i use single and go to the root terminal and the syslog and kern log do not get updated, and it really hampers the acpi testing (nor do i know what to fix to help on this)
[02:30] <sgodsell> single mode is run level 1
[02:30] <sgodsell> isn't it
[02:30] <dandel> possibly
[02:31] <sgodsell> so nothing is really loaded 
[02:31] <dandel> i was trying to run tests without xorg up and that's the easiest way to go about that.
[02:31] <sgodsell> do you want maybe run level 3.  No graphics mode (server mode)
[02:31] <dandel> if i knew how to boot in to that, i would.
[02:31] <sgodsell> instead of single use the number 3
[02:31] <sgodsell> when grub comes up
[02:32] <sgodsell> press e 
[02:32] <sgodsell> for edit
[02:32] <dandel> just tell me the param
[02:32] <sgodsell> on the end of the kernel line add the number 3
[02:32] <dandel> i've modified the boot params dozens of time using nano
[02:32] <sgodsell> you can do it that as well
[02:32] <mjg59> sgodsell: Ubuntu doesn't distinguish multiuser runlevels by default
[02:32] <mjg59> 3 is the same as 5
[02:33] <dandel> well the nasty handling of single mode 1 is a huge issue then.
[02:33] <sgodsell> mjg59, oh, thats right ubuntu doesn't use sysv
[02:33] <mjg59> sgodsell: No, that's nothing to do with it
[02:33] <dandel> especially since when during testing i sometimes can't get the monitor to come back ><;
[02:33] <dandel> and haft to reboot with the ctrl+alt+delete combination.
[02:34] <dandel> and at that point, i really need the log to figure out what happened ><:
[02:34] <dandel> i'm currently doing testing on bug 338701
[02:35] <ubot3> Malone bug 338701 in linux "acpi_irq is not set properly." [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/338701
[02:46] <dandel> mjg59, how would i boot in to a mode where the logging daemons would start.

[12:21] <Kano> hi, why is lzma support not used for karmic kernel compression
[13:19] <pkern> There is no KMS support for ATI r500 on Ubuntu yet, right?
[13:22] <pkern> (I mean I fact I know Fedora already released with support for it, but still.)
