| ubot3 | Help! lamont, zul, T-Bone, mdz, or jdub | 03:31 |
| tvrotsurbrain | !staff | 03:31 |
| ubot3 | Hey nalioth, jenda, rob, SportChick, seanw, Dave2, Christel, tomaw, Gary, PriceChild, niko or stew, I could use a bit of your time :) | 03:31 |
| mozmck | I'm getting a bunch of errors like this trying to run debian.master/scripts/misc/kernelconfig oldconfig | 03:48 |
| mozmck | kernel/ubuntu-karmic//config/amd64: No such file or directory | 03:48 |
| paultag | Hey hackers. I need some help with the kmalloc implementation. Anyone know the details of how it's implemented in the kernel ( how it works out where it pulls mem from / the flag system etc ) | 03:48 |
| mozmck | This is with the ubuntu-karmic git tree. | 03:49 |
| cooloney | mozmck: run 'fakeroot debian/rules clean' | 03:49 |
| cooloney | mozmck: then try 'fakeroot debian/rules editconfigs' | 03:49 |
| mozmck | will do, thanks. I'm trying to add another flavour for an rtai patch. | 03:50 |
| cooloney | mozmck: and we use 'fdr' alias to 'fakeroot debian/rules' | 03:50 |
| mozmck | It adds some kernel config options, will they show up properly? | 03:50 |
| cooloney | yeah, | 03:50 |
| cooloney | mozmck: try fdr help | 03:50 |
| mozmck | so I can type fdr? | 03:50 |
| mozmck | 'fdr help' No command 'fdr' found... | 03:51 |
| cooloney | oh you need to add this -> alias fdr='fakeroot debian/rules' into your .bashrc | 03:51 |
| cooloney | or just fakeroot debian/rules help | 03:52 |
| mozmck | I see. thanks. Also, I switched back to bash from dash because there have been programs that wouldn't compile under dash. That shouldn't be a problem for working with the kernel scripts should it? | 03:53 |
| cooloney | mozmck: bash is ok, i think, but i never change my shell program | 03:54 |
| mozmck | haven't had any problem with bash so far, and that's what I've used for years. dash has given a few problems... | 03:54 |
| cooloney | mozmck: heh, i guess you can ping Herbert Xu, he is the author of dash, | 03:56 |
| paultag | Any chance I can get a kernel guru to enlighten me? :) | 03:57 |
| mozmck | It was probably related to how the scripts in the build system for those programs worked. | 03:57 |
| * mozmck no guru | 03:57 | |
| cooloney | paultag: you can grep the kmalloc in kernel source code, | 03:58 |
| paultag | cooloney, that's all well and good, but I'd spend a long time tracing code back to how it manages a lot more then just the heap. I was looking for some insight from a hacker | 03:58 |
| paultag | cooloney, I started doing that and got lost | 03:59 |
| cooloney | paultag: yeah, that is very tedius, but i suggest you to post email on LKML for help | 03:59 |
| paultag | cooloney, awww. Crap. They always hate the friendly n00b. | 04:00 |
| paultag | cooloney, thanks anywho | 04:00 |
| cooloney | paultag: most of the kernel hackers are there, or you can send out email to the mm developer directly, heh | 04:00 |
| paultag | cooloney, I'm probably better working off working it out by hand on paper :/ | 04:01 |
| paultag | cooloney, thanks anyways :) | 04:01 |
| paultag | I'll leave ya'll to your hacking :) -- thanks for the stable kernels :) | 04:01 |

| tim | hi all, is it possible to apply a patch to the module sources before building it with dkms? i am trying to build the nvidia driver for 2.6.33-rc | 17:02 |

| dhillon-v10 | hi all, just wanted to know if its possible to get links for *all* the kernel-bug days that took place | 21:18 |
| achiang | what does it mean if a kernel bug is in "confirmed" state? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/463940 | 21:24 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 463940 in linux "No fans, thermalzone on HP Envy 15 and HP DV6T Quad" [Medium,Confirmed] | 21:24 |
| dhillon-v10 | achiang: that means someone else tested it and it indeed is a bug :) | 21:28 |
| achiang | dhillon-v10: ah, so has nothing to do with actually shipping the fix? :) | 21:29 |
| dhillon-v10 | achiang: well that means devs will work on that one as soon as they find the time, or you can go ahead and work on it ;) | 21:30 |
