[00:31] hi ppl [02:33] wohoo, I think it's almost there :) [02:33] jj-afk: ping? === MikeGuo is now known as hylinux1 [10:40] hurm, I got a make error due to missing modules [10:42] kristian-aalborg: skip_modules=true fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic [10:42] I passed it with the skipmodule=true flag, but it seems that something's amiss [10:43] it asked me to run mrproper, now debian/rules is gone (which I kind of knew it would be" [10:44] right you need to move debian/ and debian.master out before running mrproper [10:46] I cp'd them from my backup dir [10:47] I'm mostly trying to figure out why the process won't run... I'm not expecting a working kernel atm [10:48] I wonder if it's the .config I made which is at fault? [10:55] * kristian-aalborg boots up other computer [10:58] jj-afk: I got the git version of the kernel, then followed the instructions you gave me the other day... correct? [10:58] yep [10:58] it should work with either but I have only ever used the git tree [10:59] if you are using the git tree there is a trick you can use with make mrproper [10:59] instead of moving the debian and debian/master files, you can do [10:59] my .config is made by apt-getting the source, then make localmodconfig and make menuconfig [10:59] make mrproper [10:59] git checkout -f [10:59] the git checkout -f will restore them [11:00] okay [11:00] that [11:00] is the correct way, right? [11:00] be ware that fdr clean and fdr prepare-generic will destroy / overwrite the .config so you need to copy it in after those [11:01] yes it will work [11:01] you can also use [11:02] fakeroot debian/rules updateconfig [11:02] err make that editconfig [11:02] it will ask you which configs to edit and do a make menuconfig, and update the debian/config files [11:02] I have the feeling something's fundamentally wrong [11:03] then you won't need to copy in your config [11:03] give editconfigs a try [11:03] yeah [11:03] start clean with, [11:03] fakeroot debian/rules clean [11:03] git checkout -f [11:04] err actually switch the order (git checkout first) [11:04] this dir is a mess, I should probably back to start [11:04] fakeroot debian/rules editconfig(s) ? [11:04] if you haven't committed anything [11:04] git checkout -f will undo your changes [11:05] really? all of them? [11:05] its a good way to get back to a clean state [11:05] well usually, there are few files it isn't tracking, but yeah [11:05] sweet [11:06] I'm getting a bit annoyed with Linus, though ;) [11:06] hehe :) [11:07] is it common for this stuff to fail this much or should I check if something's wrong with my system somehow? [11:07] both computers in question are running 10.4... should "just work", I'd figure [11:08] kristian-aalborg: well it depends what your doing, [11:09] if you suspect a problem, try a clean kernel build with no changes [11:09] that should work [11:09] if it doesn't you know there is a something wrong [11:10] if your just doing config changes, the recompile can be made to be pretty fast if the build is cleared [11:10] well it depends on the config changes [11:14] nothing is fast on a 2g surf ;) [11:15] by "cleared", you mean doing fakeroot debian/rules clean? [11:17] sorry, if it isn't cleared [11:18] if you are doing a rebuild, and your changes don't require a full rebuild then you don't want to do an fakeroot debian/rules clean [11:18] you want to rm debian/stamps/stamps-build-* [11:19] make your changes / copy in your new configs [11:19] and then do fakeroot debian/rules binary-generic [11:20] this will keep the old build .o files around and Make will uses timestamps to figure out what parts need recompiling [11:20] I'm starting over, it's easier I think :) [11:56] jj-afk: I'm back to basics now - where do I start? [11:57] kristian-aalborg: just build the kernel with no changes, and see how that goes [11:57] good thinking [11:57] fakeroot debian/rules clean [11:57] fakeroot debian/rule binary-generic [12:08] * kristian-aalborg is on it [13:41] gah, computer died [20:05] hi again [20:06] something I was thinking of... why isn't there a server where you can upload your .config and then download the .deb?
