mdzapw, do we still need /proc/version_signature now that uname() provides all of the relevant information?13:20
cndwhere is the modules.alias file in the initramfs generated?14:59
cndanyone know?14:59
smbcnd, Not for sure. Either when running update-initramfs or taking the one generated when installing the kernel. Probably depmod -a and then update-initramfs helps15:09
cndsmb, thanks, I think I've found what I need15:09
JFohi folks, I have been having some issues getting to a few systems, so I don't have the weekly buglist e-mail out. I'll send the few I have to the list in just a minute for the call.15:12

iahello. could anyone tell me, please, does linux kernel in lucid with proprietary nvidia driver has kms support for nvidia [ion] cards?18:30
jjohansenia: no the proprietary driver will never have kms support18:31
iajjohansen: ok, thanks for information.18:34
iaand how about gma500/poulsbo?18:34
mjg59ia: No18:35
nosse1Is there some nifty tool for comparing two kernel config files?18:48
bladernr_Can anyone tell me real quick what package opens up the "Default Application" windows to open when a USB device is connected to a Lucid box?19:00
bladernr_I'm only asking here as it has something to do with the USB subsystem19:01
bladernr_I just don't know what to open the bug against yet...19:01
nosse1Where can I find representative kernel settings for Ubuntu (ARM Lucid)? I'm trying to build an ARM kernel in which to run Lucid, however I need to know which kernel feats that needs to be enables (e.g. upstart req'd DEVTMPFS)19:16
bjfnosse1, which arm proc are you targeting? have you looked at the lucid topic branches in our git repo?19:17
nosse1I'm targeting AM3517. I'm trying to bring up Lucid on the TI AM3517-evm19:18
nosse1What's the URL to your git repo?19:19
bjfnosse1, git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git19:23
amitknosse1: meld is a great tool19:23
nosse1amikt: Thanks, but that a ordinary diff tool. Many times the kernel settings are out of order, so you need to sort the file or something in advance19:25
bjfnosse1, we don't have anything better than meld (no special tools)19:25
nosse1oh, ok19:26
nosse1Ush. Same as last time upstart dies with "procps main process terminated with status 255"19:35
nosse1..so what kernel option have I forgot to enable.... hmmm19:35
nosse1I have now cloned the ubuntu kernel repo. Where can I start to find kernel settings?19:47
nosse1.. I found it19:50
bjfnosse1, if you are interested in the arm configs you want to checkout one of them19:55
bjfnosse1, there are 4 arm topic branches19:56
nosse1Yes, I found some in debian.master/19:57
nosse1debian.master/config/*19:57
amitknosse1: as bjf pointed out, the arm configs are in the arm branches in git (git branch -a). You'll find them in the respective debian.<soc>/config/20:00
* nosse1 is noob: How do I switch the branch including the checked out files? "git checkout -b remotes/origin/ti-omap" ?20:04
bjfnosse1, in your clone tree do a 'git branch -r'20:17
bjfnosse1, that will show you all the topic branches20:18
bjfnosse1, I then (for example) 'git branch --track ti-omap origin/ti-omap;git checkout ti-omap'20:19
nosse1bjf: I think I messed up my git repo. How can I reset everything the way it was, without cloning everything for scratch?20:20
mjg59git reset --hard20:21
mjg59Will let you go to a specific sha20:22
mjg59But it kind of depends what you're trying to do20:22
nosse1I have messed up using git branch, and now I just junk branches which I'm trying to rid myself of.20:23
nosse1bjf: Thanks20:35
crimsunmanjo: thanks for following up on those mic bugs. :-)23:05
