[03:26] <lamont> someone remind me how to tell what the actual path to /dev/sdc is..??
[03:30] <jk-> lamont: actual path?
[03:33] <jk-> lamont: but 'udevadm info --query=all --name=/dev/sdc' is probably what you're after
[03:33] <lamont> ah, yeah. thanks
[03:33] <lamont> I kinda randomized the drives and needed to figure out where /boot migrated to
[03:37] <PrototypeX29A> hi
[03:39] <PrototypeX29A> git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-karmic.git
[03:40] <PrototypeX29A> will this give me the latest version of the ubuntu-kernel or the release-version?
[03:41] <PrototypeX29A> the kernelGitGuide says I will get "the master tree", but i find it strange to have to give the name of the release to get the latest version
[03:54] <RAOF> PrototypeX29A: It will get you the the latest Ubuntu version + any changes that will presumably make it into the next Ubuntu version.
[03:55] <PrototypeX29A> "latest ubuntu version" means "latest release version"?
[03:55] <RAOF> If you clone ubuntu-karmic.git you'll get 2.6.32-9 + any changes since that release.
[03:56] <RAOF> You _won't_ get Linus' linux-2.6 tree.
[03:56] <PrototypeX29A> ok, that is what i intended
[03:57] <PrototypeX29A> but i don't understand the principle 
[03:57] <PrototypeX29A> what would happen if i replace karmic with jaunty?
[03:58] <RAOF> You'd get the kernel that's in Jaunty.  If your question is "why isn't there a single git repository with branches for the various releases", then I don't know.
[03:58] <PrototypeX29A> and how would i get the karmic without the changes?
[04:00] <RAOF> It's tagged in the ubuntu-karmic.git repository.
[04:01] <PrototypeX29A> ok, thanks
[04:01] <PrototypeX29A> so my next question you have already answered :)
[08:13] <junjun> hi
[08:13] <junjun> i get the source of 9.10 kernel, and found that Ubuntu patches the vanilla kernel. where can i find the information on the patch?
[08:13] <junjun> i want to know which change Ubuntu made to the vanilla kernel
[08:16] <junjun> it seems Ubuntu uses Non-exec patch from OpenWall?
[08:17] <junjun> is it really the Exec-shield patch from Redhat??
[08:18] <junjun> or if not, what is the difference between Non-exec patch and Exec-shield patch?
[08:30] <jjohansen> junjun: you can find the ubuntu git trees at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelGitGuide
[08:30] <jjohansen> from there you can find all the patches that have been applied
[08:33] <junjun> jjohansen: thanks
[10:17] <mdz> apw: according to marjo's test report, we're still seeing bug 494052 in cert testing
[10:17] <ubot3`> Malone bug 494052 in linux "bnx2 driver cannot find firmware" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494052
[10:18] <apw> mdz, thanks for the heads up
[10:19] <mdz> apw: I've emailed suggesting he take it up with the kernel team, but figured there was no need to wait for him to wake up to get the ball rolling
[10:19] <apw> yep
[10:51] <apw> mdz well the firmware was in the .udeb at least in -8 ... will talk to marjo and get a dmesg
[10:56] <mdz> apw: you folks really ought to have access to pull data like that directly out of the certification db rather than having to ask for it (IMO)
[11:02] <apw> mdz yeah probabally true
[16:10] <lamont> gah.  wtf does it boot to a blinking cursor, instead of grub?
[16:11] <rtg> lamont, lucid? the grub prompt is quite brief
[16:11] <lamont> karmic
[16:12] <rtg> oh, hrmm. is this something that used to work?
[16:12] <lamont> workstation powersupply took out the MB, one drive of the raid array..  I can get to all of the array with karmic-live, but booting from the hard drives is not happening
[16:12] <lamont> of course, when I pulled out all the drives and put them back in as part of getting the MB out, they got a tad bit randomized
[16:12] <lamont> so /boot is RAID1 across /dev/sd{c,d,e}1
[16:13] <rtg> but UUID should find the right one
[16:13] <lamont> and root is an LVM partition on a RAID6 array across sd{a,b,c,d,e}6 or so
[16:14] <rtg> kind of complex
[16:14] <lamont> and (go me) I had the wrong UUID in fstab, so the root=/dev/MIX/root in menu.lst was saving the day before
[16:15] <lamont> so I guess the real question is: given a running livecd, chrooted into the real root with all the other stuff mounted under that, htf do I get the MBR written on the drive of my choice?
[16:15] <lamont> because I'm thinking all 5 is a good answer.... :-)
[16:15] <rtg> lamont, a grub reconfigure or reinstall? might have to bug cjwatson on  that one.
[16:16] <lamont> ok
[16:28] <lamont> looks like maybe grub-install /dev/sd$i
[16:28] <lamont> anyway, afk
[20:30] <tim> hi, compiling kernel 2.6.33-rc1 with make-kpkg, i get this error http://pastebin.com/d66472fa7 after compiling ... any ideas, what i am doing wrong?
[20:33] <ghostcube> The UTS Release version in include/linux/version.h   
[20:33] <ghostcube> means the file shows a wrong verioning 
[20:33] <ghostcube> version
[20:34] <ghostcube> have you checked the file ?
[20:34] <tim> ghostcube, yes, i can understand the error message, i already did a make mrproper in the source tree, though
[20:34] <ghostcube> have you looked into the file o.O
[20:35] <tim> http://pastebin.com/d5c3f079c
[20:35] <ghostcube> kannst du deutsch
[20:35] <tim> ja
[20:35] <ghostcube> gut
[20:37] <ghostcube> is das en ubuntu kernel source oder normaler kernel.org 
[20:38] <tim> gibt es einen ubuntu kernel v2.6.33-rc1? ist linus/master
[20:39] <ghostcube> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.33-rc1/
[20:39] <ghostcube> warum nimmste nit den o.O
[20:39] <ghostcube> is weniger action
[20:40] <tim> o.O?
[20:41] <ghostcube> hilft das ?
[20:42] <ghostcube> :)
[20:42] <ghostcube> oder musste selbst bauen
[20:43] <tim> ja ... einfache debs nutzen mir nicht wirklich viel
[20:43] <ghostcube> hmm ok 
[20:43] <ghostcube> bauste patches ein oder wie ?
[20:44] <ghostcube> weil bei dem kernelcode bug kann ich dir nicht wirklich helfen ich denke die zahl is falsh
[20:44] <ghostcube> oder du hast da ne alte version
[20:44] <ghostcube> irgednwo und der greift auf die zu
[20:45] <tim> ich brauche ein paar dinge im kernel, die nicht unbedingt im ubuntu package aktiviert sind ...
[20:45] <tim> ich hab das ./debian verzeichnis gelöscht, ein make mrproper gemacht, bzw das include/linux/version.h file gelöscht
[20:46] <tim> aber der kernel selbst wurde schon gebaut, nur das debian package mag sich nicht erstellen
[20:47] <tim> hm, ansonsten mach ich mich mal an ein git bisect zu v2.6.32 ... möglicherweise hat sich das format der header files etwas geändert ...
[20:53] <ghostcube> boah ich bau schon lange nich mehr selbst
[20:53] <ghostcube> ich bin da keine grosse hilfe
[20:54] <ghostcube> aber evtl hilfts wenn du wieder auf english wechselst
[20:54] <ghostcube> weil keiner hier peilt was wir schreiben
[20:54] <ghostcube> :D
[20:55] <tim> hm ... i will drop by again tomorrow to have a closer look at this ...
