[18:43] <nosse1> Hi. If I have checked out the ubuntu kernel git, how can I get the .config?  I know its debian/rules something
[18:51] <owen1> there is a serious bug with many asus and dell laptops but it was not assigned to any developer. what can I do to get the attention of canonical? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/512192
[18:51] <owen1> this thouchpad is too sensitive which forces me to use external keyboard.
[18:51] <ubot3> Malone bug 512192 in linux "Can't configure Elan tech touchpad on Dell Inspiron 11z, Asus K7I0C and maybe also Dell Mini 10 (not V), ASUS k40in, Asus U81A and ASUS UL80-VT." [Undecided,Confirmed] 
[19:55] <crimsun> owen1: please use the mailing list
[20:56] <nosse1> Are any of the Ubuntu specific drivers required for system operation. I.e. can I build a vanilla kernel without the Ubuntu patches on Ubuntu?
[20:59] <crimsun> nosse1: that utterly depends on the hardware. In general, no, the ubuntu sauce isn't necessary for mainstream consumer (e.g., Best Buy-/Microcenter-type) hw.
[21:00] <nosse1> thanks.
[21:01] <nosse1> I'm trying to build a kernel for a new ARM HW target. Ubuntu lucid kernel (ti-omap branch) is not working OOB and I need to recompile.
[21:02] <nosse1> I have a working kernel from the vendor, that I need to Ubuntuize for it to work
[21:02] <nosse1> That's why I was looking for the config
[21:45] <owen1> crimsun: sure. googling for it now
[21:51] <owen1> crimsun: what mailing list should i post it on? ubuntu-devel ?
[22:03] <crimsun> owen1: kernel-team
[22:35] <owen1> crimsun: got it, thanks
[22:35] <owen1> do i have to subscribe in order to post something?
[23:28] <crimsun> owen1: no, will just be moderated
[23:31] <owen1> crimsun: great. i just posted it
