[08:23] <MrCurious> (stk) :line disk installation timed out
[08:23] <MrCurious> that look familiar to anyone?
[10:44] <persia> lilstevie: Good evening.
[11:13] <lilstevie> ,good evening persia
[11:13] <persia> How did your aattempt to port the kernel go?
[11:15] <lilstevie> oh that was done long ago :p
[11:15] <lilstevie> it is fixing up the new kernel
[11:15] <lilstevie> I am still fighting the bug :/
[11:15] <persia> For the Galaxy?
[11:16] <lilstevie> but I think it may have been evdev that was acting retarded, it was the natty alpha image and i didnt realize
[11:16] <lilstevie> galaxy tab yeah
[11:16] <persia> Oh, cool
[11:17] <persia> Do you have time this ewvening to work on getting a package in for oneiric?
[11:17] <lilstevie> yeah, just let me put the washing away :)
[11:17] <persia> NO rush :)  Let me know.
[11:20] <lilstevie> :)
[11:29] <lilstevie> ok now lets see if with the new rootfs if the bug goes byebye
[11:30] <persia> Heh
[12:18] <persia> lilstevie: I Have to head away for a bit, but I'll be back shortly.
[12:19] <lilstevie> persia: kk, well I will be up most of the night
[12:20] <lilstevie> natty final preinstall seems to be a bit better overall
[12:50] <persia> lilstevie: Oh, excellent.
[12:52] <persia> so, for packaging it, Let's start from the linux-n900 source.
[12:53] <lilstevie> persia: I will have to go with the how for now :) this is still being a pain, the new evdev doesn't like my touch driver at all :/
[12:54]  * lilstevie is starting to wonder why he even bothered changing to the new kernel
[12:55] <persia> Oh, annoying.
[12:55] <persia> So, how works like this:
[12:56] <persia> 1) get your kernel working
[12:56] <persia> 2) stuff the source into a package with deba
[12:57] <persia> err, debian.flavour/ and debian/ (look at linux-n900 for an example)
[12:57] <lilstevie> ok
[12:57] <persia> 3) Build, and fiddle the flavour bits until the result is clean
[12:58] <persia> 4) upload
[12:58] <lilstevie> upload anywhere specific?
[12:59] <persia> No :)  Theoretically to Ubuntu, but since you still need a sponsor, anywhere from which the sponsor can pull for review works.
[13:00] <lilstevie> heh :)
[13:00] <persia> The sponsor will need the .dsc and tar.gz files.
[13:00] <lilstevie> ok cool
[13:02] <persia> But
[13:03] <persia> But step 1 is the most important :)
[13:04] <lilstevie> heh yeah I am wokring on solving these issues
[14:16] <lilstevie> blah, this should be working
[14:20] <persia> What doesn't work?
[14:20] <lilstevie> evdev
[14:21] <lilstevie> my beautiful touchscreen patch is not working like it should
[14:22] <persia> Do you get propertties to xinput, or can you just not see the events in the first place?
[14:23] <lilstevie> the cursor isnt moving
[14:23] <lilstevie> but everything is as it should be with evtest
[14:23] <persia> Right.  Does xinput --list-props show it as a mouse?
[14:24] <persia> If evtest has the right output, the kernel stuff is very likely correct.
[14:25] <lilstevie> heh it shoud be, it is the same result that I was getting under maverick
[14:27] <persia> There wqas a bunch of touch stuff done for natty: I suspect that the issue is that it *is* being detected as touch.
[14:28] <lilstevie> it is detected as a touch screen
[14:28] <lilstevie> like it was under evdev in maverick
[14:28] <lilstevie> cause it is a touch screen :p
[14:28] <persia> And then it gets caught in the touch handler, and ends up not working like a mouse.
[14:29] <persia> Which makes the pointer not move :)
[14:29] <lilstevie> heh
[14:30] <persia> So, My recommendartion would be to get the satck into the archive, file a bug.
[14:30] <persia> Then we can bug the touch folks to eplain the stack and help us fix the bug :)
[14:31] <lilstevie> I will talk to chase again I think
[14:31] <lilstevie> this touch driver wouldn't even work if it wasn't for the touch team :D
[14:32] <persia> cnd is definitely the right person :)
[14:33] <persia> Good luck.
[14:33] <lilstevie> they helped me figure out what i needed to do months ago :p
[14:33] <lilstevie> when maverick was current
[14:33] <lilstevie> heh, chase has been a great help with everything, natty is the problem here though :(
[14:34] <persia> I don't knmow if we can fix natty, but oneiric is a real possibility.
[14:35] <lilstevie> heh
[14:35] <lilstevie> biggest thing is to find out what is broken :)
[14:37] <persia> yeah
