[03:46] <MTeck> is there any kernel ppa?
[03:49] <dtchen> more specifically?
[03:50] <dtchen> e.g., navigate to https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux (with JS enabled), and click "Other versions of 'linux' in untrusted archives."
[03:50] <MTeck> thanks :)
[03:50] <dtchen> you could also see the resulting deb pages: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/
[03:51] <MTeck> I'm just curious if an issue I'm having is because of the kernel as it got assigned or something else
[03:55] <MTeck> dtchen: is that second link stable at all?
[03:56] <dtchen> yes
[04:01] <MTeck> !search gnome-power-preferences
[04:01] <ubot3> Found: 
[04:42] <MT-> I'm trying to figure out why I ALWAYS get a kernel panic when I shut down
[04:45] <MT-> bug 396032
[04:45] <ubot3> Malone bug 396032 in linux "System crashes on shutdown" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/396032
[04:54] <MT-> any chances installing the latest kernel will help me?
[05:00] <MT-> any chance anyone can help me?
[05:07] <JFo> MT the team is in the middle of a sprint week, so there probably aren't many folks around that can help just now
[05:08] <MT-> JFo: oh...
[05:08] <MT-> JFo: I try back in a couple weeks then :)
[05:08] <MT-> so so much explaine :P
[05:08] <JFo> sounds good :)
[07:04] <MT-> well - the latest kernel made my issue go away - but then I can't use virtualbox because I can't compile the module which requires make...
[07:05] <MT-> I guess I can confirm the bug and close it when 9.10 is released - too bad I can't use this permanently
[07:21] <spO> hi
[07:22] <spO> is there documentation about all the linux kernel options?
[07:23] <spO> ie , discribing them in greater detail than menuconfig?
[10:25] <l403> hello
[10:25] <l403> I am missing kernel headers, so I have downloaded the sources of the running kernel and set up everything as if I was going to compile it again. can I just do make headers_install alone?
[10:32] <hyperair> make-kpkg kernel_headers?
[15:52] <bryce> apw, kernel's in the ppa - http://www2.bryceharrington.org:8080/drupal/node/86
[21:09] <spO> anyone here?
[21:26] <hansderagon> Greetings.  Is there a way to have a process run with starvation if necessary on a Ubuntu 08.04 instance?  nice -n 19 does not cut it.  I want a process to run in the background without slowing my desktop experience.
[21:26] <hansderagon> Search the web, but could not find anything.
[21:27] <Nafallo> hansderagon: I believe you want the support channel, #ubuntu
[21:28] <hansderagon> Maybe... but it is related to the scheduler of the kernel.
[21:28] <hansderagon> Is there a command that would set the scheduler to run a process inside the idle loop?
[21:29] <Nafallo> hansderagon: that does not make this is support channel.
[21:29] <hansderagon> Ok.
[21:29] <hansderagon> Moving to the other channel.  Any kernel guys on there?
[21:29] <Nafallo> no idea. your question seems userspace related thou.
[21:30] <hansderagon> Thanks.
[21:30] <Nafallo> glad I could direct.
[22:36] <spO> git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git   gives me kernel 2.6.28-10 instead of kernel 2.6.28-15
