simon___hello, i have found a bug but don't know where to report: i have a packard-bell laptop and the kernel loads asus_laptop by default. this driver is causing some problems (e.g. wifi) and the workaround is to blacklist the driver11:30
andreolihi all, I have uploaded a source package for a modified kernel13:56
andreoliupload is ok, build fails with the following message13:56
andreoliII: Checking ABI for generic... EE: Previous or current ABI file missing!     /build/buildd/linux-2.6.32/debian.master/abi/2.6.32-24.38/amd64/generic make: *** [abi-check-generic] Error 1 dpkg-buildpackage: error: /usr/bin/fakeroot debian/rules binary-arch gave error exit status 213:56
andreoliHow do I skip ABI checks in launchpad builds? Is it possible at all?13:57
andreoliI wouldn't like to bump the ABI13:57
andreoliForgot to tell: upload is to a PPA13:59
aboganiandreoli, "skipabi = true" in debian.XXX/rules.d/ARCH.mk14:04
andreolithx, abogani :) will try right now14:08
andreoliby the way, anyone care to try my work? Where can I announce it?14:08
aboganiandreoli, You could let people let know of it announcing it on kernel-team mailing list and on ubuntu-devel.14:11
aboganiandreoli, Can you explain me your work in a single line?14:11
andreoliyes14:16
andreoliI and my colleague have written a new diskj I/O scheduler that outperforms significantly the current one (CFQ)14:16
andreoliit has latency 5 to 10 times better and a twofold throughput for many workload scenarios14:17
andreolifor more information, you can read here (sorry for advertising :)): 14:18
andreolihttp://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/14:18
andreoliI mainly helped debug the beast, my colleague paolo worked the algorithm out and proposed an implementation14:19
shadeslayerwhen i installed the nvidia drivers it said that it could not build modules for the current kernel since it did not have kernel sources, any ideas on this?14:30
shadeslayer( ive already installed linux-source-2.6.35 to no avail )14:30
aboganishadeslayer, You should try to install appropriate linux-header-*s package14:33
shadeslayerah i see14:33
shadeslayerE: Package linux-headers-2.6.35-11-generic has no installation candidate14:35
shadeslayerhmm 2.6.35-13 does exisist tho14:36
aboganiuname -a should report which version you are need to have installed14:38
shadeslayerabogani: there is no  -11 headers package14:48
shadeslayerwhich is weird.. but i guess its due to the fact we have a -13 package now14:48
simon___again.. i have found a bug and don't know where to report it: i have a packard-bell laptop and the kernel loads asus_laptop driver by default (it's enabled in the stup process). it's a driver that's causing some problems (e.g. wifi) and the workaround is to blacklist it. where should i report it?16:19
