achiangwhat 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
achianghm, and i guess i'd want to see it backported to lucid too, since /subject says it's based on .3201:30
achianghttp://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1506401:30
ubot3bugzilla.kernel.org bug 15064 in Config-Processors "no deep C-states on core-i7, thus no turbo" [Normal,Resolved: code_fix] 01:30
achiangwithout that patch, lots of folks are experiencing issues on the new batch of Intel Core i7 laptops01:32
crimsunachiang: is it in a .32.x point release?01:32
achiangcrimsun: hm, no. we did not mark it for -stable01:35
achiangcrimsun: 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 gregkh01:35
crimsunI suppose the most straightforward way is to file a bug affecting linux and get it into a point release01:36
achiangcrimsun: you mean a launchpad bug?01:37
crimsunyes, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+filebug01:37
achiangcrimsun: reading the KernelTeam homepage to try and find the policy; do ubuntu only backport patches in the -stable trees?01:39
crimsunachiang: 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-v10ogasawara: ping regarding glibc changed in the lucid kernel01:46
JFodhillon-v10, can you elaborate for the channel at large? perhaps someone here can help you.01:49
JFoand I am also not sure what you mean about glibc changing in the kernel... it isn't in the kernel01:51
dhillon-v10JFo: 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() now01:57
dhillon-v10JFo: and free() returns an aborting signal breaking kvm01:57
dhillon-v10JFo: I have a fix for it, but its a dirty hack, it involves adding a line to /etc/profile01:58
cooloneydhillon-v10: that looks like an glibc issue02:11
dhillon-v10cooloney: yup :) I read a conversation on LKML where they made this change to glibc so I was wondering how do I go about fixing it02:12
cooloneydhillon-v10: is there any bug tracker on launchpad for this issue, maybe we can help that. 02:25
cooloneydhillon-v10: i guess ogasawara is going to sleep now.02:25
dhillon-v10cooloney: ahh right, sorry ogasawara, I will get you the link in a sec.02:27

crimsunbjf: 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
crimsunbjf: I can push those changes for alsa-driver-cod-{karmic,lucid}.git to my tree on zinc23:31
bjfcrimsun, 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. packaging23:40
bjfcrimsun, I'd welcome any changes you have23:40
