[08:43] <Kano> apw: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/ChangeLog-2.6.30-rc8
[08:43] <Kano> did you rebase yet
[08:43] <apw> not yet.  was expecting it today, and will be on my todo for today
[08:45] <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
[08:46] <Kano> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git;a=commitdiff;h=abc55974c570b037c04d33b32f269cd9e9f11bee
[08:46] <Kano> and drop that
[08:49] <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
[09:04] <Kano> also you could enable lzma kernel compression
[09:41] <apw> Kano, thanks for the bug and the write up will persume
[09:42] <apw> persue
[10:12] <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] 
[11:56] <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
[16:29] <Kano> apw: any big problems with rebasing on rc8?
[16:30] <apw> nope.  rebase was basically clean.
[16:30] <Kano> i see no rc8 in logs
[16:31] <Kano> maybe soon there will be 2.6.30 final
[16:33] <apw> its not pushed yet.  just uploaded the builds
[16:33] <apw> yep .30 is expected this weekend
[16:34] <apw> then the .31 madness begins
[16:35] <Kano> i guess i release an iso based on .30
[16:36] <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
[16:37] <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] <apw> wanted this pushed as it carries fixes for bugs people are hitting
[16:58] <Kano> best disable the doublicated ids too
[16:59] <Kano> /sbin/modinfo -F alias rt73usb rt2500usb|sort|uniq -d
[16:59] <Kano> only 4, a small patch
[16:59] <Kano> disable in rt2500usb
[17:00] <Kano> also i found an interesting patch for another wlan driver
[17:02] <Kano> http://osdir.com/ml/linux-wireless/2009-05/msg01252.html
[17:03] <Kano> that a common device in germany
[17:04] <Kano> needs of course firmware
[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] <Kano> 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] <Kano> 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] <Kano> 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] <Kano> 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] <Kano> 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] <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
[19:04] <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
[19:05] <_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*
[19:06] <_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] <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
[19:08] <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
[19:10] <_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] <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!!!
[19:16] <sconklin> akgraner: I'll 'thank' Jono the next time I see him ;)
[19:16] <akgraner> http://www.ustream.tv/channel/at-home-with-jono-bacon  check it out...:-)
[19:20] <Kano> http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/linux-msdos@vger.kernel.org/9000939.html
[19:21] <Kano> just had this issue, why is that value not 0?
[19:23] <sconklin> akgraner: listening now, I'll go back and review the beginning later.
[19:23] <akgraner> hey said the KISS Kernel...hahaha
[19:23] <sconklin> akgraner: Keep It Simple Stupid
