[03:28] hi all.. i want to know whether it is possible to get the ubuntu-specific kernel patches for 2.6.30 [04:13] hey everyone... i'm trying to use make-kpkg to package kernels, but I keep getting annoying interactive warning messages when I try to install a fresh kernel package. I've set "do_initrd = yes", "warn_initrd = no", "clobber_modules = yes", and "silent_modules = yes" but I still get warnings about installing an initrd kernel and writing over an old /lib/modules/$version directory. [04:13] has anyone else seen this? === fddfoo is now known as fdd === maxb_ is now known as maxb [09:33] Hi, the Karmic ABI 10 kernel results in gnome-power-manager not being able to set/get laptop panel brightness - Acer Aspire One, Intel graphics - any thoughts on what I need to put in a useful bug report? [09:42] maxb, It would be interesting to see what is in (and under) /sys/class/brightness. I am not really sure what caused that ever to work. The acpi interface seems not to work and the acer-wmi is supposed not to... [09:49] Actually it works pretty horridly without KMS also [09:49] But KMS makes it actually give errors, rather than just behaving bizarrely, so something has changed [09:51] I know. From the 1000 (not really but felt) levels the OSD suggested in Jaunty, only the first 7 or 9 were real. [09:51] Hm, errors in dmesg? [09:51] And I don't seem to *have* a /sys/class/brightness ! [09:52] I'm booted without KMS at the moment, I'll comb dmesg after my next reboot. [09:52] That is what I would expect. With all the experience with the aa1 it seems it does most things internally in the hw [09:52] But KMS itself seems to be working fine, and VT switching is so slick now :-) [09:53] True :) [09:54] I currently booted an 8.9 kernel with kms and can change the brightness with the hotkeys, but without any osd feedback [10:00] hello. I was wondering if anyone if familar with "crash" and knows if there is a way to get a backtrace without the linux-image-debug package? [10:06] mvo, I would not say I am familiar with crash, so I cannot say whether it will do anything without files with symbol information. But in general a backtrace of a kernel stack without cannot tell which function name an address belongs to. And that is unlikely useful [10:17] smb: thanks, it was a small hope I had, the debug pakage is just so huge [10:17] mvo, If you compile locally, you could take the vmlinux produced there [12:08] l-r-m is no longer, right? [12:28] during boot and in syslog i am seeing: [69908.676578] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 [12:28] is that known? bugid? [12:28] * asac does not have a floppy drive [12:42] mdz: correct. [12:45] asac: I see this as well (and I have no floopy) - IIRC it was a devicekit issue and is already reported [12:46] mvo: hmm. ok. but that happens really early during boot [12:46] something like "testing for hardware ..." ... [12:47] and then that takes ages and it spits out those messages [12:55] oh [12:55] asac: maybe its something else then [13:43] If killing devkit-disks-daemon stops it, it's likely the already reported issue [14:08] ogasawara_: ping [14:10] ogasawara_: unping /me forgot your in PST [14:17] hi === ogasawara_ is now known as ogasawara [19:57] apw: are you familiar with the grub2 --no-floppy borkage? [20:06] rtg no not heard anything about that [20:06] where is that being discussed [20:28] Since updating to karmic abi 10, on some boots intermittently, my touchpad intermittently gets reported as a 'PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' instead of a 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad', causing hal to miscategorise it as a mouse.... any thoughts on what to dig into? [20:29] maxb: IIRC there was a reset patch, or perhaps an unusual device patch for that. [20:30] that was in Jaunty, so it ought to still be in Karmic [20:37] This problem is new in karmic abi 10 [20:40] maxb: hmm, almost all of the work from ABI 9 to 10 was config stuff. Is there some config option that has disappeared or changed? [21:08] rtg as i recall the configs were mostly unchanged [21:08] apw: that was my observation as well [21:23] ogasawara, thanks for being willing to guide me. I'll pester you after I have read up more on the information you gave me :-) [21:23] JFo: great, thanks for wanting to help! [21:23] no problem === mcasadevall is now known as NCommander
