AnAntHello, in alpha3 PC beep was working on my laptop, yet in alpha4 it doesn't, is this a kernel or pulseaudio issue ?09:18
apwcking, this bug seems to have come back with some comments:11:00
apwhttps://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/34762311:00
ubot3Malone bug 347623 in linux "Samsung q45 does not produce key-release events for Fn-Keys (patch included)" [Low,Fix committed] 11:00
apwsmb, this was the pad thing: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/30014311:01
ubot3Malone bug 300143 in linux "tablet devices show up as non-functional joysticks" [Undecided,Fix committed] 11:01
ckingapw, hrm.. ok, will pop it on my todo list11:01
apwcking, they verified it in -proposed and reported something odd like down works fine and up is odd or something (brightness)11:02
cking80+ steps to dim the light is a little too much to ask I suppose.11:05
lagaapw: did you see my message about the aufs config option? i'm afraid i killed my irssi session last night :)11:08
apwlaga, best to repeat it now :)11:09
lagaapw: mythbuntu needs CONFIG_AUFS_BR_RAMFS so its diskless clients can boot properly11:11
* ogra wonders why 11:11
ograltsp works fine as is 11:11
ogradont you base the mythbuntu diskless mode on ltsp anymore ? 11:12
lagaogra: the xino lookup table is placed in /tmp. and if there's no ramfs support, that won't work in initramfs11:12
lagaogra: i can only assume you're placing the xino elsewhere11:12
lagalet me restate that11:13
ograstgraber would know i think11:13
lagayou use some kind of temporary in-memory file system which is not ramfs AFAIK. aufs can place the xino table there11:13
lagafor mythbuntu-diskless, our COW branch is on NFS - and the xino table can't go there, so it falls back to /tmp, which is broken in karmic11:14
ograoh, NFS11:14
lagadue to that config option lacking11:14
ograhow evil :P11:14
ograyeah, NFS and union mounts were never good friends, thats a good reason indeed11:14
apwlaga, so this is an aufs2 only issue affecting only karmic?11:14
lagayes11:14
apwlaga, is there a bug filed?11:15
lagaapw: no. :)11:15
lagai guess i should do that then. :)11:15
apwcan you get one filed for me, i'll go see why that option is off11:15
apwlaga, have you tested that turning this thing on actually works for you?  if so can you record that in the bug11:17
lagaapw: yes, it works for me11:17

smbapw, May I kindly remind you of bug 406419. I believe you wanted to do a correct SRU mail for that. :)16:27

micahgdo you guys do support in here or should I send people to #ubuntu + 1?16:32
micahg*people :)16:32
rtgmicahg, depends on what you mean by support. we're willing to discuss kernel bugs, etc.16:35
micahgrtg: I had a user tell me a broadcom chipset isn't supported, I found an open bug regarding it, I'm just wondering where to send him if he can't solve it16:36
rtgmicahg, well, wl.ko (if thats the driver in question) is a binary blob driver, so there's not a lot we can do to fix Broadcom issues.16:38
micahgso if broadcom dropped support we're stuck16:38
rtgmicahg, I think thats unlikely, but their support is typically directed towards monetized projects on specific platforms. they don't really seem to care otherwise.16:40
micahgbut the new intel drivers require the karmic kernel, right?16:41
rtgmicahg, the Intel drivers _are_ part of the kernel. I assume you're talking about the Xorg drivers? If so, then yes - you'll need them in order to use the KMS enabled kernel drivers.16:43
micahgright, so someone trying to use an intrepid kernel with karmic will break stuff?16:44
rtgmicahg, yep - won't work too well with the desktop.16:45
ukevhi, I've a curios problem with the usb stick subsystem of the kernel with usb pens(?) >= 8GB. Reading works fine but writing crashs after ~100-200MB with IO Error. USB drives (harddisk) works fine and the two usb sticks (8 GB and 16 GB) are working fine with other computers (osx), where can I look to locate the problem?16:47
micahgok thanks rtg16:58
ogasawara_smb: re the ext4 patches, did you happen to save your patched kernels you built somewhere that I might quickly be able to point testers too?18:00
=== ogasawara_ is now known as ogasawara
apwrtg ok ... i've reconstructed your abstracted debian form against head.  i've scripted the initial split so it can be applied again to any other repo we need.  just test building it now, and then will push it for review18:00
ogasawarasmb: no worries if not, I can rebuild18:01
smbogasawara, Let me check. I am not sure... Brain image not complete yet. :)18:01
ogasawaraheh18:01
rtgapw, cool18:02
apwi shoved a couple of tweaks on the top the first lets you use all the targets in debian.master/rules18:03
apwthe second fixes the insertchanges target18:03
smbogasawara, Hm, no, it seems I got the packages removed. Sorry18:04
ogasawarasmb: no problem, I was just being lazy :)18:04
smbogasawara, Understandably, for the amount of time a build takes. :)18:05
ukevhi, I've got a curios problem with the usb disk subsystem of the kernel with usb pen drives >= 8GB. Reading works fine but writing crashs after ~100-200MB with IO Error. USB drives (harddisk) works fine and the two pen drives (8 GB and 16 GB) are working fine with other computers (osx), where can I look to locate the issue?18:16
apwrtg ok seems to build ok ... the proposed stack is here: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/apw/ubuntu-karmic.git abstracted-debian18:41
rtgapw, cool. I'll have a look as soon as I get mvl-dove sorted18:41
apwgood luck with _that_18:41
rtgapw, oh, its close. there is some mind numbing udeb crap to deal with, but everything else is working.18:42
apwyay udebs ...18:42
bjfrtg, sorry, should have asked my question here ...18:53
bjfrtg, I just updated my karmic tree and the mvl-dove branch doesn't build, is that expected?18:53
rtgbjf, ok, try the mvl-dove branch again18:57
apwrtg heard any issues recently (-5/-6) with rfkill after resume?  needing an rfkill unblock19:00
rtgapw, nope, but its likely wifi driver dependent (unless its the laptop driver)19:00
bjfrtg, still not building, however this looks different: dpkg-architecture: warning: Specified GNU system type arm-linux-gnueabi does not match gcc system type x86_64-linux-gnu.19:16
rtgbjf, how are you building?19:18
bjfrtg, not with debuilld, am reading up on that now19:19
bjfrtg, export $(dpkg-architecture -aarmel)19:19
rtgbjf, here is the rune: debuild -eCROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- --prepend-path=$(HOME)/proj/arm-tools/arm-2008q3/bin -b -aarmel -us -uc19:19
bjfrtg, CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi- fakeroot debian/rules binary-$119:19
rtgbjf, the key environment setting is '-aarmel'19:20
bjfrtg, that is set by: export $(dpkg-architecture -aarmel) right?19:21
rtgbjf, uh, dunno. 19:22
bjfrtg, just ignore me19:22
bjfrtg, operator error19:22
rtgbjf, thats easy enough :)19:22
bjfrtg, dove should be producing a uImage but seems to be producing a zImage19:55
rtgbjf, hmm, you're right.19:55
bjfrtg, also, I'm getting a bunch of errors/warnings after "Now running lintian..."19:56
rtgbjf, they're OK, just noise 'cause I'm too lazy right now.19:56
bjfrtg, np19:56
rtgogra, uploading dove right now, but it still produces a zImage.19:58
Nafallosomething in 2.6.31-6-generic turns my eeepc into flickerville. I would assume that has been reported already?20:04
rtgNafallo, flickerville is such a technical term :) I assume you refer to your display?20:05
Nafallohehe. yeah :-). or graphics rather.20:06
Nafallowhenever something moves on the screen, the whole UNR desktop flickers20:06
NafalloI booted into ABI 5 for now :-P20:07
rtgNafallo, Is that intel graphics?20:07
Nafalloyeah. let's see if I can see what lshw -C VGA says.20:07
Nafallonothing. maybe it's graphics :-)20:08
rtgNafallo, lspci ?20:08

rtgNafallo, as I suspected. Please start an LP bug, make sure ogasawara knows that it is a regression.20:10
