[01:50] <Viral> can anyone help me understand why I can get an ec2 instance boot into a low latency kernel : https://gist.github.com/623aa20f9de9b7a5ae44
[02:19] <ali1234> ok, i figured out the answer to my question above, putting the answer on my question on stack exchange if anyone is interested
[10:18] <smoser> apw, http://pad.ubuntu.com/other-kernel-o-version-and-flavours
[16:50] <mardy> can I use the symbol first_ec from a module? It's exported, but defined in drivers/acpi/internal.h
[16:50] <mjg59> So right now, no
[16:52] <mardy> mjg59: thanks. Do you know how I could get it? I guess I could register an ACPI driver for the id "PNP0C09", but maybe there's a faster/better way?
[16:53] <mardy> (I want to read a few fields, which are probably related to the Lenovo Ideapad's accelerometer)
[16:54] <mardy> ikepanhc: hi, I see you wrote most of ideapad-laptop.c. Are you also working on the accelerometer support?
[16:57] <mjg59> You could move the declaration to a public header
[16:57] <ikepanhc> mardy: hi, I do not. I do not have an ideapad with accelerometer
[16:58] <ikepanhc> mardy: actually, I know nothing about the accelerometer...
[16:59] <mardy> mjg59: I'm rather new to kernel development, I'm a bit hesitant in changing things... I'll see if I can get it in some other way
[16:59] <mardy> ikepanhc: maybe you know how I can get a handle to the EC, from inside ideapad-laptop.c?
[16:59] <mjg59> mardy: What are you actually trying to do? Just get the APCI handle for the EC?
[17:00] <mjg59> The cleanest thing to do would just be to move it from the internal header to the public one
[17:00] <ikepanhc> mardy: what kind of information you need?
[17:00] <mardy> mjg59: yes, then I plan to call acpi_evaluate_integer() on a couple of fields, to see if they contain the accelerometer data
[17:03] <ikepanhc> mardy: could you send me an email about what you plan to do? so that I can think about how to help. This week I am busy in company event and now have to leave
[17:03] <mardy> ikepanhc: I want to read GSV{X,Y,Z} from http://people.canonical.com/~ikepanhc/DSDTs/dsdt-s10-3.dsl
[17:03] <mardy> ikepanhc: OK
[17:44] <mardy> mjg59: are you somewhat interested? Should I add you in CC to the e-mail I'm writing to Ike?
[20:41] <baggles> i've been getting some crashes today since i have been trying to use a new wireless driver
[20:43] <baggles> i get a virtual terminal screen without X and the caps lock is flashing on and off. and the hold-down-the-power-button-for-10-seconds doesn't even work!
[20:47] <baggles> i'm not sure if it was a kernel panic, or something, but is there a cleaner way out of it than cutting the power and taking the battery out of my netbook?
[22:36] <hallyn> bug 776936 is solved with the natty-proposed kernel.  WHen is that expected to go to natty-updates?
