[06:38] <ripperda> hello
[06:38] <ripperda> hello, I'm having some trouble with a kernel serial console and hoping someone could lend a hand
[06:38] <ripperda> I have a serial console working and getting boot messages. but no longer get messages once the full OS loads
[10:19] <matti> :)
[14:28] <pa> hi
[14:28] <pa> do you know whether ubuntu kernel supports geoip target for netfilter, or if i do have to patch myself?
[14:34] <cnd> tgardner, back at the platform sprint we brought the isl388* firmware for prism_softmac cards from karmic into lucid
[14:34] <cnd> It turns out I put the fw files in the wrong place
[14:34] <cnd> I'm looking to rectify it, but I'm realizing now that I can't find a license for the fw
[14:35] <cnd> I'm wondering if they should be in linux-firmware-nonfree
[14:37] <tgardner> cnd, if there is no license, then yes, it should go into non-free
[14:38] <cnd> tgardner, ok, I'll work on that
[15:21] <cnd> tgardner, as part of the prism fix, we need to revert the commit that added it into linux-firmware.git
[15:21] <cnd> is it easiest just to send an email to kernel-team requesting the revert of the commit id?
[15:22] <cnd> I assume that's easier than making a pull request for just a single commit revert
[15:22] <tgardner> cnd, no, a pull request is fine. I've still got to make the packaging changes on top of that
[15:23] <cnd> tgardner, k

[16:03] <cnd> pgraner, I'm looking at a huawei 3g bug in lucid, apw mentioned you might have the same card?
[16:03] <cnd> bug 520372

[16:03] <pgraner> cnd: nope I have a Novatel
[16:04] <cnd> what model? I think novatels may be huawei rebranded

[17:02]  * smb is here
[17:07] <matti> matti PRESENT
[17:07] <matti> Ops ;]
[17:08] <matti> PRESENT
[17:10]  * smb was on the wrong channel. Meeting is in #ubuntu-meeting
[17:41] <matti> smb: Ah.
[17:41] <smb> matti, Though its over by now
[17:42] <matti> I was on sudden meeting at work :<
[17:47] <cnd> apw, when you talk about a potential dep issue with the firmware packages, what specifically is the issue?
[17:47] <cnd> just files?
[17:48] <apw> was the version with the files in linux-firmware ever uploaded?
[17:48] <apw> if so then the files are now in two packages, which will break
[17:48] <tgardner> apw, yes
[17:48] <cnd> I believe so, but there won't be a file collision
[17:48] <cnd> because the linux-firmware actually had them in the wrong location
[17:48] <apw> on upgrade unless the l-f-nf has a 'conflicts: xxx' or something
[17:48] <apw> ahh then we get away with it by luck ...
[17:48] <cnd> so linux-firmware put them in /lib/firmware/prism54_softmac
[17:49] <cnd> but the new linux-firmware-nonfree puts them in /lib/firmware
[17:49] <cnd> where they should be
[17:49] <apw> then we don't have an issue, cause there really is no collission, good enough
[17:49] <tgardner> cnd, what about the original prism54/* files?
[17:49] <cnd> cool
[17:49] <cnd> tgardner, when I was looking for license I read a bit
[17:49] <cnd> they are firmwares for older versions of the driver
[17:50] <cnd> and are not used in lucid's kernel
[17:50] <tgardner> cnd, ah, thats right. we're just dropping them.
[17:50] <cnd> the new firmwares cover all of the same cards as the old firmwares
[17:50] <tgardner> apw, I'll make sure the packaging is right before I upload ...
[17:50] <apw> are we dropping any we get from our upstream here?
[17:51] <apw> tgardner, yeah i figured you'd know what to do if there was an issue, just wanted to highlight it
[17:51] <cnd> apw, these don't come from upstream (if you're thinking of dwmw2's tree)
[17:51] <apw> indeed.  cool... 
[17:51] <apw> ..
