jjohansenlamont: re: fs caps?  Did you make any progress with that?00:30
lamontjjohansen: remind me?02:15
jjohansenlamont: you were asking how much a pain enabling file caps would be02:42
jjohansenlamont: I asked if a few days before feature freeze was the time to be wondering about it02:43
lamontoh.  that.02:44
jjohansenso I suppose, that means no02:44
lamontI don't remember - it was someone else backchanneling through me complaining that the machine we co-manage at a co-lo facility needs a custom kernel02:44
jjohansenhrmm, they could use AA set capability rules to achieve much the same thing02:45
lamontexcept that the package that they're using doesn't02:46
lamontand rebuilding the kernel is easier02:46
jjohansenheh, maybe02:46

tkamppeterAnyone can give me some help to submit a patch correctly to the vger.kernel.org mailing list?10:31
smbtkamppeter, One thing would be to run your patch through scripts/checkpatch.pl If that does not complain, this is a good sign10:36
amitktkamppeter: also, Documentation/SubmittingPatches in the kernel tree has pointers to making the perfect patch10:37
smbtkamppeter, There is also scripts/get_maintainer.pl which would help you to find out who to cc10:39
smoseranyone here a kernel-team@lists.ubuntu.com moderator ?11:41

LaibschHi16:42
LaibschWhere do I get the source for the mainline kernels?16:43
LaibschI doubt that the 2.2KB file http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2009-08-27/linux-source-2.6.31_2.6.31-999.200908271000_all.deb has much ;-)16:44
KeybukLaibsch: mainline kernels are inherently the mainline kernels16:46
Keybukie. kernel.org git16:46
Laibschwell, but there's more to it16:47
Keybukno, there isn't16:47
LaibschI already compiled mainline straight from git16:47
LaibschBut it was missing the initrd part16:47
Keybukwhat initrd part?16:47
LaibschMy kernel did not create an initrd16:48
Keybukhow did you make your kernel?16:48
Laibschmake-kpkg16:48
Keybukmake-kpkg --initrd? :-)16:48
Keybukstrictly speaking though, Ubuntu kernel builds don't use make-kpkg16:49
Laibschalright, I'll retry with --initrd16:49
Laibschsorry, if I sound stupid ;-)16:49
LaibschI only compile kernels out of necessity16:50
Laibschnot for fun16:50
Keybukreally? I do it for fun :p16:50
Keybukplus it keeps the house warm, and saves on gas16:50
AnAntHello, could someone confirm this bug please: LP 418477 ?17:10

rtg_AnAnt, -7 is killing kittens. -8.28 is in the pipeline.17:13
AnAntrtg_: ah, thanks17:14
AnAntkilling kittens17:14
AnAntis that somehow of saying "evil" ?17:14
rtg_AnAnt, any sane person would consider dead kittens to be evil, right?17:15
AnAntrtg_: dead kittens are not evil17:15
AnAntthe one who kills them is !17:15
rtg_AnAnt, ah, a fine semantic difference :)17:15
AnAnt:)17:15
AnAntok, I need to ask a question, is this bug: LP 414795 a kernel or a pulseaudio bug ?17:16

rtg_bjf, git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rtg/ubuntu-karmic fsl-imx51 for boot testing. You do have HW, right?18:29
rtg_ogasawara, how do I change bug duplication? I want to use bug #418781 as the master. bug #417750 is already a duplicate of 418685 and I cannot figure out how to redirect it.18:42

andresmujicartg_: /usr/share/doc/python-launchpad-bugs/examples/move_duplicates.py 18:43
rtg_andresmujica, don't need no steenking python18:44
ogasawarartg_: yah unfortunately, if a bug already has duplicates, you have to move those to the new master bug first (ie lp won't auto move them for you)18:44
andresmujicamanually?  you must move first the dupe to the new master bug and then the old master bug move it as dupe from the new one18:45
ogasawarartg_: I'll clean it up18:45
rtg_ogasawara, actually, that was exactly what I was trying to do18:45
ogasawarartg_: hrm that's odd, not sure why it wouldn't have worked them.  I'll give it a try.18:46
rtg_ogasawara, it would help if I knew what button to push :)18:46
brycelp can be fussy sometimes18:46
ogasawarartg_: I just click on the Duplicate of bug # link under the bug title18:47
rtg_bryce, you are a master of understatement.18:47
rtg_ogasawara, which just takes me to the master (the one I don't want to use)18:48
ogasawarartg_: hrm, it should pop up a little dialog box for you to enter the new bug#.  at least that's what it's doing here for me.18:49
ogasawarartg_: are you on edge?18:49
rtg_ogasawara, well, we all know you _are_ special.18:49
ogasawarahehe18:50
rtg_yep, I'm always on edgwe.18:50
rtg_edge*18:50
ogasawarartg_: I've marked em all as dups of 41878118:50
rtg_ogasawara, thanks, you're a pal18:50
smbrtg_, If you are not on edge there might be a little pen icon (yellow) beside it18:51
rtg_smb, ah! good eye.18:51
smbMe? Nah. :)18:52
rtg_I must not be programmed to notice that damned small icon18:52
ogasawarartg_: heh, or realize is supposed to resemble a pen18:52
smbI just have to use them often18:52
rtg_ok, next time I can do this for myself.18:52
superm1mjg59, what's up with http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/38439/ ? Is that in good order right now, or are you going to be doing more work on it?19:43
mjg59superm1: Upstream wants the filtering at the 8042 level, not the generic input level22:51
superm1mjg59, oh i see.  were you planning on reworking that then soon?22:53
mjg59Yeah, should do this week. I've been somewhat tied up organising my move.22:58
superm1mjg59, okay cool.23:00
