* apw looks blearily at his real tea08:31
RAOFSee, there's your problem.08:31
jk-RAOF: lol08:31
RAOFTea is very sensitive; looking blearily at it can only result in tears!08:31
apwthe trade off is the risk of dropping the tea in my lap due to tiredness induced incompetance against the restorative effects of the contents ...08:40
smbAt least you would be awake then08:41
RAOFDropping tea in your lap would certainly provide a temporary buff to attentiveness.08:41
jk-apw: on the other hand, that would wake you up08:41
jk-snap * 208:41
smbthree minds one thought08:41
apwthats not the kind of awake i approve of08:41
jk-it's the kind of slapstick we approve of, though08:42
RAOFYou haven't been fitted with the special Canonical underwear I take it then?08:42

JFobug 629009:44
ubot2Launchpad bug 6290 in baltix (and 1 other project) "DV capture over Firewire is broken (no rights for /dev/raw1394) (affects: 41) (dups: 10) (heat: 306)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/629009:44
JFodoubt it has to do with us but there was a legacy team group subscribed to the bug09:45
JFoI've unsubscribed it09:45
JFobut I have no clue what kino is09:45
apwJFo, i would guess its a codename ... but given the age of that bug we are not interested anyhow, its like dapper time isn't it ?09:46
JFoyeah, I think they need to open a new bug09:46
apwoh its an app, but the age is the key here i ithink09:46
JFok09:46
apwif they are reporting on that one ... i'd get a fresh one opened09:47
JFowill read through it then and decide what is needed09:47
JFocool09:47
ograit the typical DV capture tool 09:47
JFothanks :)09:47
ograand is the one app that always exposed the brokeness of the FW stack09:47
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
ograJFo, given that there are recent comments from users that it is fixed for them, i'd set it to fix released no matter how old it is09:48
JFok, that was what I was thinking too09:49
apwJFo, i think that bug can just be left alone09:50
apwits mostly (in this year timeframe) about switching to the new firewire stack and that being a good thing09:50
JFoapw, ok09:50
JFoyeah saw that09:50
apwas we have done that in maverick i suspect it is fixed in maverick from the user perspective, but not 100% sure how to be sure09:50
JFojust not sure who is responsible for kino09:50
apwas if it was we could close it there09:50
apwJFo, as it seems to be an app, not us :)09:51
JFoheh09:51
JFomy thoughts exactly09:51
ograapw, its a kernel prob09:51
JFoit was the reason I had no issue removing that group subscribe09:51
apwogra, if its a kernel problem then it should be filed against the kernel09:52
apwogra, can you elucidate on the problem? as noone in the bug seems to be helping me09:52
ograapw, and if the new firewire stack fixes it i'D close it, else it stays open forever09:52
ograapw, its the permissins of the firewire device09:52
ogra*permissions09:52
ograwhich i thought the new firewire stack fixes09:53
apwas in the the unix permissions or something deeper09:53
ograunix permissions and something deeper :)09:53
apwso it might be worth asking for testing on maverick as the stacks are switched09:53
ograthe permissins are only set that way because its the only safe way09:53
ogra(by design)09:54
apwand if its a kernel problem it should have a kernel task so we can close that Fix Released on Maverick, and Won't Fix (you have a workaround) on Lucid09:54
ograi would ask the last three commenters if they use maverick09:55
ograand if so, close it09:55
apwJFo, ok read the whole bug and it does seem to be a case of, old kernel stack has no sane permissions model, new stack does.  old stack therefore is prevents access without being root, new should not10:09
apwtherefore .... will add linux tasks for lucid and maverick and close this in maverick kernel side10:09
JFook10:10
JFosounds god to me10:10
JFogood*10:10
apwand actually in lucid too, as we are not going to change the default there10:10
JForight10:10
JFosince the new stack is Mav only yes?10:10
apwwill close that won't fix, but wth the appropriate comments about the workaround to switch the stack10:10
diwicOut of curiousity, I run Lucid on one machine here but with the Maverick backport kernel, am I running 1) the old FW stack 2) the new FW stack 3) some weird combination10:11
JFodiwic, the maverick backport kernel is not supported on desktpo ;)10:12
JFoheh10:12
JFodesktop*10:12
JFowhat is with my spelling to day?10:12
diwicJFo, it does exist in the generic flavour though10:12
JFoexist yes....:)10:12
diwicJFo, and so far it has been working better than the Lucid one, graphics-wise10:13

jk-JFo: saw your update on 584812; just waiting for feedback from Jerone..10:50
* JFo goes to look10:51
JFoah yeah10:51
JFowanted to get the guys to take a look at it too during the weekly chat10:51
JFowould you rather I wait on that jk- ?10:52
jk-apw knows about it, once it's been tested I'll forward the config change to k-t for review10:52
JFosince I see that you have a test build that may take care of it10:52

JFosmb are you around?16:30
JFoin the event that you are. would you have a look at bug 54609116:32

JFowant me to try to attend the meeting?16:41
ogasawaraJFo: nah, was hoping you could spam a small set of bugs for me16:41
JFoI may be able to indeed :)16:41
ogasawaraJFo: which would then clear off one of your work items... "post CFT to lp bugs using an ubuntu/ driver"16:41
ogasawaraJFo: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bugs?field.searchtext=rtl8192se16:41
JFointeresting16:42
JFoI don't remember that one16:42
JFobut I'd be happy to16:42
ogasawaraJFo: In the most recent Maverick kernel I uploaded yesterday (linux-2.6.35-16.22) I'd updated rtl8192se16:42
* JFo worries he missed subscribing to the BP16:42
JFoogasawara, cool16:43
ogasawaraJFo: so if you could just spam those bugs asking if they could test with the latest 26.35-16.22 kernel that'd be awesome16:43
JFowill do16:43
JFowhat BP is that item in?16:43

smbJFo, scanning through that bug sounds like they would need a completely updated driver, yes. I would say its would be a candidate for lbm but they need that for installation. tgardner, pgraner anyone of you got hw that uses the megaraid_sas driver?16:49
tgardnersmb, not me16:49
tgardnersmb, is this a regression, or just a new version of the card ?16:50
smbtgardner, I would say a new version16:50
smbyep16:50
smbThree newer cards16:50
JFosm, thanks for looking16:51
tgardnersmb, I wonder if "we" are smart enough to build an ISO with the LTS backported kernel on it for testing. bjf?16:51
* smb really feels like sm today :)16:52
bjftgardner: "we" should be able to do that, yes16:52
tgardnerbjf, how is the alternate kernel selected? do you just replace the Lucid kernel?16:52
bjftgardner: yes16:52
bjftgardner: desktop is what i've been doing, not sure about server16:53
tgardnerbjf, smb: maybe we should get them to try the Maverick daily first in order to make sire its going to be a solution16:53
tgardnersure*16:53
smbtgardner, There is a comment about Maverick a2 or 3 working16:53
tgardnersmb, ok. then they are going to have to wait until we have a Lucid point release with the Maverick kernel as an option16:54
* tgardner goes to snatch some breakfast16:55
smbYeah, someone mentioned 9.10 drivers from the vendor. Have not followed that but could be an option too if they have something newer16:55
smbhm probably not. looks a bit hackish16:57
tgardnersmb, it also won't solve their install problem, will it?16:58
JFoogasawara, spam complete16:59
JFosmb :)16:59
ogasawaraJFo: awesome, thanks.  I'll mark it off the blueprint.16:59
JFok, thank you :)16:59
smbtgardner, Only very sort of. Basically I think thy provide initrd and kernel plus modules for KArmic16:59

smbtgardner, The difference between maverick and lucid is just a mere 1100 lines. If we get the right person the right hw we can sru it by rule #5 :-P17:03
pgranersmb, I don't have any hw for that17:09
=== em is now known as emma
smbpgraner, ack, yeah its probably rather high end server stuff17:10
pgranersmb, yea I'm more low rent lol17:11
smbheh17:11
apwsmb, i wonder if they could make a USB stick with the updated kernel17:12
smbapw, Well if the installation offers the maverick lts backport they should be fine17:13
apwwell ... no as they can't see the disk to install it ... right ?17:13
smbRight, would require that kernel to be there for install... :/17:13
tgardnerapw, thats an interesting point17:14
apwthey'd need an image with that kernel actually on it, as a boot option17:14
tgardnerwe'll have to ask cjwatson if thats an option on the alternate installer17:14
apwmight be on the DVD images for instance17:15
ogasawaracnd: you've got a generic work item to "Work with Rafi and Stephane to import any post 2.6.35 multitouch driver code" is that still ongoing or can I mark it done?17:16
smbapw, The only other solution would be some sort of override mechanism to pull in certain lbm packages from the cd or dvd. But I guess thats even more not implemented17:21
apwpresumably they could make a USB stick on another machine, and chroot into it, and install the updated kernel17:22
apwso perhaps its a 'write a proceedure for it' problem ?17:22
apwsmb ^^17:24
smbapw, Hm its probably the same or similar to making some of our test cds. 17:25
JFoodd that the alternate CD worked but not the regular17:32
JFowell, it may not be that odd17:32
