[00:08] <Athunye_> Well. With noapic and irqpoll boot parameters the wireless finally got connected.
[00:09] <jjohansen> Athunye: good to hear
[00:10] <Athunye> :)
[00:11] <Athunye> Thank you guyed for the time you lent me. :)
[00:12] <Athunye> guys*
[00:13] <jjohansen> hehe, np. I am just glad to hear you got it working
[00:44] <Athunye> jjohansen: And without irqpoll, the connection gest very slow.
[00:45] <Athunye> I'm going to take a bath.
[00:45] <Athunye> While I update ubuntu.
[00:45] <Athunye> :)
[00:56] <jjohansen> Athunye: you have something that isn't responding to its interrupts correctly
[00:59] <Athunye> jjohansen: What could be done?
[01:06] <Athunye> I'll try to update the bios.
[01:20] <jjohansen> Athunye: that really depends on what is causing the problem
[01:20] <jjohansen> Athunye: updating the bios is worth trying
[01:21] <jjohansen> so is turning off unused devices in the bios
[01:21] <Athunye> Yes. I can see two messages saying something I don't remember. I'll try to see them again.
[01:21] <jjohansen> it is also worth comparing /proc/interrupts with noapic irqpoll and without them
[01:23] <jjohansen> Athunye: on some machines even physically switching pci cards around can cleanup some of these issues
[01:23] <Athunye> Anyway, it is a cheap notebook
[01:23] <Athunye> Acer aspire 5516...
[01:23] <jjohansen> Athunye: ah, well I guess that option isn't open :)
[01:24] <Athunye> :)
[01:24] <Athunye> jjohansen: I just don't understand why lspci does not show the Etherned card anymore...
[01:25] <Athunye> And that happened before. And it started to show, and then didn't anymore.
[01:25] <jjohansen> Athunye: that is strange, even with noapic irqpoll
[01:25] <Athunye> :P
[01:27] <Athunye> I hate companies that don't give a good linux support.
[01:27] <jjohansen> sadly that is almost all of them
[01:28] <Athunye> Yes.
[01:28] <Athunye> I think Intel and Nvidia do.
[01:31] <jjohansen> Athunye: have you grabbed the broadcom firmware?
[01:31] <Athunye> For the wireless? No.
[01:32] <Athunye> Why? 
[01:32] <Athunye> Sorry my lack of knowledge.
[01:34] <jjohansen> Athunye: its your ether net that is not showing up and your wireless that is working (with noapic irqpoll) right?
[01:35] <Athunye> Yes. That is correct.
[01:38] <jjohansen> Athunye: the broadcom firmware for 43xx can be found http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/b43-fwcutter
[01:39] <jjohansen> well the fetcher
[01:39] <Athunye> What does a firmware?
[01:40] <jjohansen> it is code that is run on the card, think of it like the devices bios
[01:40] <Athunye> Thanks.
[01:41] <jjohansen> Athunye: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1047297&highlight=4318
[01:41] <jjohansen> Athunye: follow the instructions on that page it is easier to follow than me typing
[01:42] <Athunye> jjohansen: OK. Thanks. I'll keep you up to date with what is going on :P
[18:38] <doko> http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=537389
[18:38] <ubot3> Debian bug 537389 in binutils "binutils 2.19.51.20090714-1 produces non-bootable kernel" [Grave,Open] 
[18:38] <doko> are some ubuntu kernel variants built with HIBERNATION unset?
[18:42] <rtg_> apw, ack
[18:43] <apw> doko, all of the karmic ones have the same hibernation config options set
[18:44] <doko> ok, thanks. so the workaround can wait until after alpha-3
[18:44] <rtg_> doko, you're talking about CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y, right?
[18:44] <doko> yes
[18:44] <apw> thats on in all karmic builds
[18:51] <rtg_> apw, if I understand correctly, changing the concatenation order allows one to more more easily integrate an already fully formed config.
[18:51] <apw> exactly so
[18:51] <rtg_> cool, good idea.
[18:51] <apw> means you can literally put a complete config in the .<flavour> file and hit fdr updateconfigs
[18:51] <apw> and the right thing will happen
[18:52] <apw> as it was before the world went to poo
[18:52] <apw> and you ended up with an utter mess for your trouble
[18:52] <rtg_> right, doing new flavours in Hardy, intrepid, and Jaunty was a pain
[18:53] <apw> and it got harder in karmic with the new merging system
[18:53] <apw> all for an ordering change :/
[18:53] <rtg_> apw, return from suspend on my Inspiron is about 1.5 seconds
[18:54] <apw> very nice ... mine is normally around there, though now when i get in wireless is still faffing about getting connecterd
[22:59] <billybigrigger> can someone help me out here
[23:00] <billybigrigger> ever since the .31 kernel, my webcam hasn't been working at all...and i know that gspca is built into the kernel now, so do i have to wait for this to be fixed in the kernel? or can i fix it on my own? as i see there have been some updates to v4l-dvb and my webcam module
[23:01] <billybigrigger> http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-next.git;a=summary
[23:01] <billybigrigger> i see nothing from this tree merging into linus's 2.6.31 tree
[23:38] <billybigrigger> anyone?
