|---|---|---|
| Kano | did you rebase yet | 08:43 |
| apw | not yet. was expecting it today, and will be on my todo for today | 08:43 |
| Kano | why dont you sent the one sauce patch to linus, for 2 or 3 rc you carry it and it causes always problems with merging | 08:45 |
| Kano | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=commitdiff;h=abc55974c570b037c04d33b32f269cd9e9f11bee | 08:46 |
| Kano | and drop that | 08:46 |
| Kano | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/380138 | 08:49 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 380138 in linux "Do NOT disable HPA by default -> leads to data loss" [Undecided,New] | 08:49 |
| Kano | thats the bug report you always wanted | 08:49 |
| Kano | also you could enable lzma kernel compression | 09:04 |
| apw | Kano, thanks for the bug and the write up will persume | 09:41 |
| apw | persue | 09:42 |
| cwillu | apw, I had a delayed crash after resume on the daily kernel earlier today, although it was certainly a record in terms of length of time before a process died with a "bug: unable to handle kernel paging request" | 10:12 |
| cwillu | (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/380807) | 10:12 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 380807 in linux "[karmic, intel] Laptop locks up moments after resuming from suspend" [Medium,In progress] | 10:12 |
| apw | cwillu, did you manage to get a panic trace from your later hang? i am presuming from the different drop dead point that this may well be a different issue | 11:56 |

| Kano | apw: any big problems with rebasing on rc8? | 16:29 |
| apw | nope. rebase was basically clean. | 16:30 |
| Kano | i see no rc8 in logs | 16:30 |
| Kano | maybe soon there will be 2.6.30 final | 16:31 |
| apw | its not pushed yet. just uploaded the builds | 16:33 |
| apw | yep .30 is expected this weekend | 16:33 |
| apw | then the .31 madness begins | 16:34 |
| Kano | i guess i release an iso based on .30 | 16:35 |
| Kano | i only have to remove those 4 ids | 16:36 |
| Kano | the rest of my testers have got no real problem with it | 16:36 |
| Kano | i might try lzma compression for kernel too | 16:36 |
| Kano | because it is a bit huge | 16:37 |
| Kano | same for initrd | 16:37 |
| Kano | those options are disabled currently for the kernel, initrd seems to be on | 16:37 |
| apw | i've put lzma on my to investigate list | 16:37 |
| Kano | # CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA is not set | 16:37 |
| === lamont` is now known as lamont | ||
| apw | wanted this pushed as it carries fixes for bugs people are hitting | 16:37 |
| Kano | best disable the doublicated ids too | 16:58 |
| Kano | /sbin/modinfo -F alias rt73usb rt2500usb|sort|uniq -d | 16:59 |
| Kano | only 4, a small patch | 16:59 |
| Kano | disable in rt2500usb | 16:59 |
| Kano | also i found an interesting patch for another wlan driver | 17:00 |
| Kano | http://osdir.com/ml/linux-wireless/2009-05/msg01252.html | 17:02 |
| Kano | that a common device in germany | 17:03 |
| Kano | needs of course firmware | 17:04 |

| _Chase | I need to add a patch to my stock ubuntu kernel for system stability and performance with regards to the cxx88-alsa module | 18:56 |
| _Chase | I followed the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile | 18:56 |
| _Chase | but after installing, apt-get upgrade wants to replace my kernel with the stock one again | 18:56 |
| _Chase | how do I get apt-get to not overwrite my new kernel? | 18:56 |
| Kano | echo packagename hold|sudo dpkg --set-selections | 18:57 |
| _Chase | I tried: echo linux-image-2.6.28-generic hold | sudo dpkg --set-selections | 18:59 |
| _Chase | but apt-get upgrade still wants to reinstall linux-image-2.6.28-generic | 18:59 |
| Kano | thats a meta package | 18:59 |
| _Chase | sorry, I forgot the "-11" on 2.6.28-11 | 19:00 |
| _Chase | it seems to be ok now | 19:00 |
| Kano | it would be very unlikely hat you updated a meta package ;) | 19:00 |
| _Chase | I built the kernel, and it spit out linux-image-2.6.28-11-generic_2.6.28-11.42_amd64.deb | 19:01 |
| Kano | yes thats the normal case | 19:01 |
| _Chase | or are you meaning that 2.6.28 is meta, but 2.6.28-11 is a real package? | 19:02 |
| Kano | yes | 19:02 |
| _Chase | ok | 19:02 |
| _Chase | is this the preferred way to add patches to ubuntu? | 19:03 |
| _Chase | I assume on every new kernel release I'll have to do this again | 19:03 |
| Kano | if you only need to build one module that does not affect others there might be a more tricky thing you can do | 19:03 |
| _Chase | that would be my case | 19:03 |
| Kano | first of all you compile the module out of tree | 19:04 |
| Kano | and the next step would be adding it to dkms | 19:04 |
| _Chase | are there instructions on how to do that? | 19:04 |
| Kano | compileing a module is not that hard | 19:04 |
| _Chase | I can probably build out of tree manually | 19:04 |
| _Chase | yeah | 19:05 |
| Kano | sure | 19:05 |
| _Chase | the dkms step is more unknown | 19:05 |
| Kano | thats correct, i am used to it now | 19:05 |
| Kano | also i like to reuse mandrake dkms.conf file with little changes *g* | 19:05 |
| _Chase | I think I didn't explain that right | 19:06 |
| _Chase | I need instructions on how to use dkms | 19:06 |
| _Chase | I've never used it before | 19:06 |
| Kano | before you are at this stop komiple it without the kernel | 19:07 |
| _Chase | I'm at work, but I know how to do it | 19:07 |
| _Chase | I just need a reference for some documentation for dkms | 19:07 |
| _Chase | is this it: | 19:07 |
| _Chase | http://linux.dell.com/projects.shtml#dkms | 19:07 |
| Kano | yes | 19:08 |
| Kano | basically you copy your driver as /usr/src/driver-ver | 19:08 |
| Kano | add a dkms.conf file, which is very easy for one module | 19:08 |
| Kano | and then you add it to dkms | 19:08 |
| _Chase | and when I upgrade kernels, does ubuntu automatically use dkms to rebuild the module? | 19:10 |
| _Chase | or will I need to do something after I upgrade? | 19:10 |
| akgraner | sconklin, Jono was just talking about you on Ustream and how it was you did the piro works for KISS how cool! YOU ALL ROCK!!! | 19:10 |
| sconklin | akgraner: I'll 'thank' Jono the next time I see him ;) | 19:16 |

| Kano | just had this issue, why is that value not 0? | 19:21 |
| sconklin | akgraner: listening now, I'll go back and review the beginning later. | 19:23 |
| akgraner | hey said the KISS Kernel...hahaha | 19:23 |
