[08:43] apw: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.30-rc8 [08:43] did you rebase yet [08:43] not yet. was expecting it today, and will be on my todo for today [08:45] 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 [08:46] http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=commitdiff;h=abc55974c570b037c04d33b32f269cd9e9f11bee [08:46] and drop that [08:49] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/380138 [08:49] Malone bug 380138 in linux "Do NOT disable HPA by default -> leads to data loss" [Undecided,New] [08:49] thats the bug report you always wanted [09:04] also you could enable lzma kernel compression [09:41] Kano, thanks for the bug and the write up will persume [09:42] persue [10:12] 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] (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/380807) [10:12] Malone bug 380807 in linux "[karmic, intel] Laptop locks up moments after resuming from suspend" [Medium,In progress] [11:56] 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 === sconklin-afk is now known as sconklin === You're now known as ubuntulog [16:29] apw: any big problems with rebasing on rc8? [16:30] nope. rebase was basically clean. [16:30] i see no rc8 in logs [16:31] maybe soon there will be 2.6.30 final [16:33] its not pushed yet. just uploaded the builds [16:33] yep .30 is expected this weekend [16:34] then the .31 madness begins [16:35] i guess i release an iso based on .30 [16:36] i only have to remove those 4 ids [16:36] the rest of my testers have got no real problem with it [16:36] i might try lzma compression for kernel too [16:37] because it is a bit huge [16:37] same for initrd [16:37] those options are disabled currently for the kernel, initrd seems to be on [16:37] i've put lzma on my to investigate list [16:37] # CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA is not set === lamont` is now known as lamont [16:37] wanted this pushed as it carries fixes for bugs people are hitting [16:58] best disable the doublicated ids too [16:59] /sbin/modinfo -F alias rt73usb rt2500usb|sort|uniq -d [16:59] only 4, a small patch [16:59] disable in rt2500usb [17:00] also i found an interesting patch for another wlan driver [17:02] http://osdir.com/ml/linux-wireless/2009-05/msg01252.html [17:03] that a common device in germany [17:04] needs of course firmware === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander [18:56] <_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? [18:57] echo packagename hold|sudo dpkg --set-selections [18:59] <_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] thats a meta package [19:00] <_Chase> sorry, I forgot the "-11" on 2.6.28-11 [19:00] <_Chase> it seems to be ok now [19:00] it would be very unlikely hat you updated a meta package ;) [19:01] <_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] yes thats the normal case [19:02] <_Chase> or are you meaning that 2.6.28 is meta, but 2.6.28-11 is a real package? [19:02] yes [19:02] <_Chase> ok [19:03] <_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] 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 [19:04] first of all you compile the module out of tree [19:04] and the next step would be adding it to dkms [19:04] <_Chase> are there instructions on how to do that? [19:04] compileing a module is not that hard [19:04] <_Chase> I can probably build out of tree manually [19:05] <_Chase> yeah [19:05] sure [19:05] <_Chase> the dkms step is more unknown [19:05] thats correct, i am used to it now [19:05] also i like to reuse mandrake dkms.conf file with little changes *g* [19:06] <_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 [19:07] 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 [19:08] yes [19:08] basically you copy your driver as /usr/src/driver-ver [19:08] add a dkms.conf file, which is very easy for one module [19:08] and then you add it to dkms [19:10] <_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] 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!!! [19:16] akgraner: I'll 'thank' Jono the next time I see him ;) [19:16] http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon check it out...:-) [19:20] http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/linux-msdos@vger.kernel.org/9000939.html [19:21] just had this issue, why is that value not 0? [19:23] akgraner: listening now, I'll go back and review the beginning later. [19:23] hey said the KISS Kernel...hahaha [19:23] akgraner: Keep It Simple Stupid
