[10:46] <alex88> hi guys, i've this problem, my controller is not supported by actual kernel.
[10:47] <alex88> i've a patch given me by the sata kernel developer that should work.. how can i compile a kernel and apply to a live cd to let me install it?
[10:52] <Jordan_U> alex88: That would be pretty tedious to do. If possible, I'd reocommend installing Ubuntu on another machine, installing the patched kernel, then swapping the drive into the problem PC.
[10:53] <alex88> it's impossible.. the drives are 2 sata-6 in raid0.. so i can't move from there..:S
[10:58] <Jordan_U> alex88: Yet another reason not use FakeRAID in the future :)
[10:59] <Jordan_U> alex88: Can you bring over another drive and just dd it to the array?
[10:59] <alex88_> nope..i only have 2 sata ports
[11:00] <alex88_> why fakeraid? isn't it real raid?
[11:04] <Jordan_U> alex88: I doubt that you have a real RAID card unless it's a high end server.
[11:06] <Jordan_U> alex88: No USB flash drives?
[12:10] <alex88> Jordan_U, is this fine to do that? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[12:30] <alex88> cause i have to patch /drivers/ata/ahci.c b/drivers/ata/ahci.c is possible just to build the module?
[12:56]  * penguin42 wonders where his swap partition went
[13:09] <rxd> any new kernel for maverick which has lzma support on the kernel?
[13:16] <Daekdroom> !maverick | rxd
[13:17] <Daekdroom> and the support for it is at #ubuntu , not here
[13:32] <roland> hi, how to enable natty narwhal repositories?
[13:34] <jussi>  roland, the basic thing here is, at this point, if you dont knw how to do it, then you probably sholdnt - is there a particular reason you want to?
[13:35] <roland> I just wan't to testdrive newest features
[13:36] <roland> i'm running it in virutal machine anyway, so if it brakes down, theres no harm done
[13:36] <roland> breaks*
[13:39] <Daekdroom> roland, if it's in a virtual machine, you're better off installing natty in the VM right away instead of updating to it
[13:39] <ikonia> roland: what features do you want to test drive ?
[13:42] <roland> Daekdroom: i'll just do that then
[13:42] <roland> ikonia: whatever new and interesting there might be, dolphin should have some new things for instance
[13:43] <ikonia> roland: if you want to test "new" stuff, I find it important to known what new stuff there actually is, and it's current state in the release cycle/build before blindly upgrading with no experience
[13:46] <roland> ikonia: well, if you don't want me messing around with natty, then I just don't care what you think
[13:47] <ikonia> I don't not "want" you messing around
[13:47] <ikonia> roland: based on your comments though I won't be assisting you attempt to use natty, so I don't "care what you think"
[14:00] <roland> ikonia: sry if I upset you anyway, it wasn't intentional
[14:40] <BUGabundo> and gnome-panel-bonobo fixed my applets. YAY
[14:40] <BUGabundo> no idea why it isn't being pulled
[14:40] <BUGabundo> ubuntu-desktop is installed
[16:14] <lamalex> anyone know if there is some known linker breakage in natty?
[16:17] <mirak> hi
[16:17] <crimsun> lamalex: as in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-November/031991.html ?
[16:19] <lamalex> crimsun, would that affect compiling things manually with gcc?
[16:20] <lamalex> wait duh sorry
[16:23] <lamalex> crimsun, does this mostly cause run time failures, or could failed symbol lookup be a concequence
[16:23] <crimsun> both
[16:28] <lamalex> ok, I think I might be getting bitten by this
[16:36] <lamalex> crimsun, I'm trying to link directly to glib and it's failing to look up symbols
[16:36] <lamalex> like g_printf :P
[16:44] <lamalex> Maybe the bigger question, is does compiz segfault for anyone else
[16:45] <lamalex> the segfault comes from our distro patch for gsettings migration, and occurs in gio_file_new_for_path
[17:07] <penguin42> anyone else seeing a loss of the UUID of their swap device after a natty upgrade? It almost looks like bug 295203 - but that's install time
[17:08] <yofel> penguin42: in fstab? why should that be changed by an upgrade?
[17:09] <penguin42> yofel: I don't think it's fstab that's broken - blkid won't give me a uuid from the swap partition
[17:09] <yofel> it does here: /dev/sda6: UUID="87a0c251-8faf-479c-a6c9-367373f75cfe" TYPE="swap"
[17:10] <penguin42> yeh, you're right - that bug is it screwing the uuid in fstab, so is irrelevant
[17:10] <penguin42> yofel: Nope, no output here
[17:12] <penguin42> the fact that my fstab has a uuid for the swap file suggests it did have at some point
[17:13]  * penguin42 isn't entirely sure where the uuid is supposed to come from
[17:14] <yofel> not sure, but mkswap does print an UUID when you format a swap drive
[17:15]  * penguin42 isn't entirely sure what to file this bug against
[17:15] <penguin42> libuuid1?
[17:18] <yofel> what happens if you run blkid with the drive as argument?
[17:25] <penguin42> nothing
[17:25] <penguin42> Just reported it as bug 682176
[20:17] <ChrisBuchholz> Hi guys. I am curious. How will natty work for people that wants to use gnome-shell instead of unity? Will it be seamless, or will it be "a mess"?
[20:17] <penguin42> ChrisBuchholz: I don't honestly know, but if Gnome-shell is packaged it should be pretty easy
[20:18] <penguin42> ChrisBuchholz: You can already run a whole different bunch of window managers, so one more won't be much different - I think it just comes down to if Gnome-shell is properly packaged which I suspect it will be
[20:19] <ChrisBuchholz> penguin42: i see. So i guess i dont have to fear ubuntu - i have been using fedora, but only ubuntu (via the mactel ppas on launchpad) has proper support for my macbook pro, so i am considering switching to ubuntu, but i will be a gnome-shell user
[20:20] <penguin42> ChrisBuchholz: There are a few things that Ubuntu changes that are harder to avoid; in particular some of the changes to do with the notification area - I'm not sure how that will work with gnome shell; however you won't be the only gnome shell user I'm sure
[20:20] <ChrisBuchholz> penguin42: i see
[20:21] <ChrisBuchholz> penguin42: thank you. I think i will go ask at #gnome-shell too
[23:01] <BUGabundo> mew
[23:01] <BUGabundo> so I got the new desktop version
[23:01] <BUGabundo> managed to get into Classic (under for how long)
[23:01] <BUGabundo> compiz is broken
[23:01] <BUGabundo> so is jockey
[23:01] <BUGabundo> just reported that last bug
[23:11] <penguin42> BUGabundo: Do you have swap?
[23:11] <BUGabundo> no
[23:11] <BUGabundo> no swap
[23:11] <BUGabundo> on ssd
[23:12] <penguin42> I meant did you have any setup and does it work; but I guess your answer means you didn't have any set up?
[23:13] <BUGabundo> correct
[23:14]  * penguin42 is just building blkid and friends to fgure out why mine doesn't
[23:18] <yofel> penguin42: as reference using my swap: sudo strace blkid /dev/sda6 http://paste.ubuntu.com/537272/
[23:19] <penguin42> yofel: I've got the current git built here I'm going to take a debugger to if it doesn't behave
[23:19] <yofel> heh
