| achiang | what is the process for requesting a backport into currently shipping kernel? say i have a patch i'd like to see in karmic... | 01:29 |
|---|---|---|
| achiang | hm, and i guess i'd want to see it backported to lucid too, since /subject says it's based on .32 | 01:30 |
| achiang | http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15064 | 01:30 |
| ubot3 | bugzilla.kernel.org bug 15064 in Config-Processors "no deep C-states on core-i7, thus no turbo" [Normal,Resolved: code_fix] | 01:30 |
| achiang | without that patch, lots of folks are experiencing issues on the new batch of Intel Core i7 laptops | 01:32 |
| crimsun | achiang: is it in a .32.x point release? | 01:32 |
| achiang | crimsun: hm, no. we did not mark it for -stable | 01:35 |
| achiang | crimsun: i mean, linus hasn't even pulled it yet, but even after he does, we didn't tag it with -stable, so it won't get picked back up by gregkh | 01:35 |
| crimsun | I suppose the most straightforward way is to file a bug affecting linux and get it into a point release | 01:36 |
| achiang | crimsun: you mean a launchpad bug? | 01:37 |
| crimsun | yes, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+filebug | 01:37 |
| achiang | crimsun: reading the KernelTeam homepage to try and find the policy; do ubuntu only backport patches in the -stable trees? | 01:39 |
| crimsun | achiang: I'm unfamiliar with the precise SRU policy/policies for each Ubuntu release; smb/rtg/apw would be best to ping on that. | 01:41 |
| dhillon-v10 | ogasawara: ping regarding glibc changed in the lucid kernel | 01:46 |
| JFo | dhillon-v10, can you elaborate for the channel at large? perhaps someone here can help you. | 01:49 |
| JFo | and I am also not sure what you mean about glibc changing in the kernel... it isn't in the kernel | 01:51 |
| dhillon-v10 | JFo: hi there, sorry for the delay, a friend of fine and a lot of other people are experiencing this problem: when they use kvm with lucid images it breaks kvm, that's because of a commit made upstream to glibc which changed all calls that previously pointed to about() to free() now | 01:57 |
| dhillon-v10 | JFo: and free() returns an aborting signal breaking kvm | 01:57 |
| dhillon-v10 | JFo: I have a fix for it, but its a dirty hack, it involves adding a line to /etc/profile | 01:58 |
| cooloney | dhillon-v10: that looks like an glibc issue | 02:11 |
| dhillon-v10 | cooloney: yup :) I read a conversation on LKML where they made this change to glibc so I was wondering how do I go about fixing it | 02:12 |
| cooloney | dhillon-v10: is there any bug tracker on launchpad for this issue, maybe we can help that. | 02:25 |
| cooloney | dhillon-v10: i guess ogasawara is going to sleep now. | 02:25 |
| dhillon-v10 | cooloney: ahh right, sorry ogasawara, I will get you the link in a sec. | 02:27 |

| less1 | Hi, I am sure if this is right place to ask this question. I am working on ubuntu booting over http. I have working prototype up at http://www.etherboot.org/share/pravin/UbuntuNet/ Can someone guide where can I get more feedback about this? | 17:51 |
| JFo | less1, you are looking for #ubuntu | 18:13 |
| JFo | someone in there should be able to help or at least point you in the right direction. :) | 18:14 |
| less1 | JFo: thanks.. I will check it out. | 18:14 |
| JFo | certainly | 18:15 |

| crimsun | bjf: hi, some questions about the git packaging of cod alsa: firstly, is there supposed to be a metapackage in debian/control.d/flavour-control.stub? linux-alsa-driver-modules-PKGVER-ABINUM-FLAVOUR doesn't do anything useful, so I guess it's supposed to be renamed and a proper Depends added? | 23:30 |
| crimsun | bjf: I can push those changes for alsa-driver-cod-{karmic,lucid}.git to my tree on zinc | 23:31 |
| bjf | crimsun, I tried to just take the LBM packaging and reuse it, but I may have messed it up, I'm pretty green w.r.t. packaging | 23:40 |
| bjf | crimsun, I'd welcome any changes you have | 23:40 |
