| octocpp | how do i send acpi_osi=Linux as a boot param while booting from the cd, I tryed acpi_osi=Linux,acpi_osi="Linux",acpi_osi=linux, acpi_osi="linux", acpi_osi=!Linux and evern tryed acpi_osi=eatshit and i ge tthe same result, like a hundred acpi errors saying stuff is not found, I cant make it our bcause it doenst stop scrolling even after like 5 minutes | 00:39 |
|---|---|---|
| octocpp | I have the insyde h2o bios on this laptop and I cant even boot without calling up acpi=off | 00:40 |
| octocpp | i cant seem to even try acpi_osi=Linux | 00:41 |
| johanbr | sounds like your bios doesn't handle acpi very well | 00:43 |
| octocpp | it is a new bios that changes the way we have to interact with the hardware somehow from what Ive read, I cant believe that windows is the only OS that has the lowdown On how to operate this laptop, it is a Tooshiba Sattelite l505d_es5025 | 00:45 |
| octocpp | is that what MS is up to now? getting firmware writers to block linux from being able to even use the machine? or is the kernel just falling behind the time a bit? Or should I just return this piece of crap laptop that can only run windows? | 00:46 |
| johanbr | it was probably never tested with linux | 00:46 |
| johanbr | there are lots of crappy bioses out there | 00:46 |
| octocpp | the L303 has worked but i guess there are some acpi issues | 00:47 |
| octocpp | I cant even get it to boot without acpi=off, but then I only have one CPU and I am sure a ton of other problems | 00:47 |
| octocpp | is there some common work around for this that I am unaware of? | 00:48 |
| octocpp | Or I just have to wait untill they start to work with that Bois in the kernel? | 00:48 |
| johanbr | there may be workarounds, depends on how badly broken it is | 00:49 |
| johanbr | you could try booting with "noapic nolapic" | 00:49 |
| octocpp | yea, Ill try them out reall quick | 00:50 |
| johanbr | well, gotta go... good luck | 00:53 |
| gnomefreak | is it just me or is 2.6.32-12 broken? i get an error when booting. "something over range" i dont recall first word so i used something | 11:58 |
| gnomefreak | i cant report the bug using ubuntu-bug it gives me "The problem cannot be reported: This is not a genuine Ubuntu package" I'm using the Ubuntu kernel | 12:36 |
| indus | test | 13:56 |
| Ayla | hello | 13:56 |
| indus | Ayla, please file a bug first , they will only look at that | 13:57 |
| indus | bye | 13:57 |
| Pici | We've stopped having random channel attacks since moving to the new ircd, probably should /mode -q $~a here (that will let unidentified users speak) | 13:58 |
| Pici | ping me if there are any questions about that. | 13:58 |

| MaximLevitsky | I need sources of kernel package of 2.6.33-rc6, so I could patch them with my driver, and expose in an PPA | 18:15 |
| MaximLevitsky | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ contains only binaries | 18:16 |
| jk- | MaximLevitsky: linux-source-2.6.33_2.6.33-020633rc6_all.deb | 18:35 |
| MaximLevitsky | jk-: not that | 18:35 |
| MaximLevitsky | I need .tar.gz, .dsc, files | 18:35 |
| MaximLevitsky | so I can build new package | 18:36 |
| MaximLevitsky | but I guess that make-kpg will do that | 18:36 |
| _ruben | why repackage a complete kernel for a driver? drivers can be installed seperately just fine .. ideally using a dkms package for instance | 18:36 |
| MaximLevitsky | _ruben: I did several changes in several places | 18:36 |
| MaximLevitsky | I sent patches upstream | 18:37 |
| _ruben | ah | 18:37 |
| MaximLevitsky | This is same reason I patch against 2.6.33 | 18:38 |
| MaximLevitsky | I initially targeted 2.6.32, but for merge I ported everything to 2.6.33 | 18:38 |
| _ruben | guess one of the ubuntu kernel devs will have to help out here .. perhaps best to send an email to the -kernel mailinglist | 18:39 |
| MaximLevitsky | Maybe | 18:39 |
| MaximLevitsky | Only one question | 18:39 |
| MaximLevitsky | Does ubuntu customized kernel 2.6.33 exist? | 18:39 |
| MaximLevitsky | or it is vanilla git | 18:40 |
| jk- | MaximLevitsky: it's vanilla git | 18:40 |
| _ruben | those mainline builds are annlia | 18:40 |
| _ruben | err | 18:40 |
| _ruben | vanilla | 18:40 |
| MaximLevitsky | Thanks a lot | 18:40 |
| jk- | so you can probably just make-kpgk it | 18:40 |
| MaximLevitsky | jk-: that what I am doing now | 18:41 |
| jk- | cool. | 18:41 |
| ssam | is there a special way that i should mark Bug #508746 as having a patch upstream? | 18:46 |
| ssam | i have linked to the commit in a comment | 18:47 |
