[11:30] <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 driver
[13:56] <andreoli> hi all, I have uploaded a source package for a modified kernel
[13:56] <andreoli> upload is ok, build fails with the following message
[13:56] <andreoli> II: 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 2
[13:57] <andreoli> How do I skip ABI checks in launchpad builds? Is it possible at all?
[13:57] <andreoli> I wouldn't like to bump the ABI
[13:59] <andreoli> Forgot to tell: upload is to a PPA
[14:04] <abogani> andreoli, "skipabi = true" in debian.XXX/rules.d/ARCH.mk
[14:08] <andreoli> thx, abogani :) will try right now
[14:08] <andreoli> by the way, anyone care to try my work? Where can I announce it?
[14:11] <abogani> andreoli, You could let people let know of it announcing it on kernel-team mailing list and on ubuntu-devel.
[14:11] <abogani> andreoli, Can you explain me your work in a single line?
[14:16] <andreoli> yes
[14:16] <andreoli> I and my colleague have written a new diskj I/O scheduler that outperforms significantly the current one (CFQ)
[14:17] <andreoli> it has latency 5 to 10 times better and a twofold throughput for many workload scenarios
[14:18] <andreoli> for more information, you can read here (sorry for advertising :)): 
[14:18] <andreoli> http://algo.ing.unimo.it/people/paolo/disk_sched/
[14:19] <andreoli> I mainly helped debug the beast, my colleague paolo worked the algorithm out and proposed an implementation
[14:30] <shadeslayer> when 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 )
[14:33] <abogani> shadeslayer, You should try to install appropriate linux-header-*s package
[14:33] <shadeslayer> ah i see
[14:35] <shadeslayer> E: Package linux-headers-2.6.35-11-generic has no installation candidate
[14:36] <shadeslayer> hmm 2.6.35-13 does exisist tho
[14:38] <abogani> uname -a should report which version you are need to have installed
[14:48] <shadeslayer> abogani: there is no  -11 headers package
[14:48] <shadeslayer> which is weird.. but i guess its due to the fact we have a -13 package now
[16:19] <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?
[23:46] <proppy> Hi, which rc is 2.6.35-12 ?
