[02:27] <bigbash> nice, got myself a touchpad for $99
[02:44] <Cheesehead> bigbash: Well?  Details, man. I don't have all night.
[02:50] <bigbash> oh sorry
[02:51] <bigbash> Cheesehead, they are liquidating their stock
[02:51] <bigbash> if you have an app or academic account with hp you can get them for $99
[02:51] <Cheesehead> So you bought a touchpad that has been through a blender? Liquified?
[02:51] <bigbash> *epp
[02:51] <bigbash> haha no
[02:52] <Cheesehead> Though I turn up my nose at HP on general principles (mostly related to gouging on ink & toner)
[02:53] <bigbash> yea but can't really beat $99 plus at $15 coupon so it is $89.24 with shipping and tax
[02:53] <Cheesehead> Indeed.
[02:53] <Cheesehead> Congratulations on the shiny new toy!
[02:53] <bigbash> thanks, I picked up one for my nephew too
[02:53] <bigbash> he can watch his kid shows on it now
[03:03] <ripps> bigbash: hey, I'm back. So your talking about a series of old kernel patches... that's a bit tricky. Do you know if they still even work with a modern linux kernel? First I try to apply the patches to kernel and see if it even builds, there are tons of guides online on how to build a custom kernel. If the patches do work, you might want to contact the ubuntu-kernel team on #ubuntu-kernel on how to move this to a package.
[03:07] <bigbash> ripps, I tried to apply the kernel patches and it said it was successful but when i do /usr/src/linux and do make menuconfig the sna stuff the should be in Networking Options doesn't appear to be there
[03:09] <ripps> bigbash: kernel stuff is bit out of my reach, If the source code was supposed to just add a kernel module, I could help you setup an automatic dkms build package, but this looks like it modifies the actual kernel source, which is pretty complicated. You'd best consult someone who actually works with the kernel.
[03:10] <bigbash> ripps, ok I'll see I I can get someone from kernel to help.  Seems the guy doesn't want to be be reached either. locked twitter, locked fb, etc.
[03:11] <bigbash> it is like from 2000 so
[03:12] <ripps> the source code to the linux kernel has changed a great deal in the last decade, I don't know that the patches would even work with it. They might patch without issue, but that doesn't mean the kernel will even use the code when compiled.
[03:16] <bigbash> hmm it requires kernel 2.4 or over
[13:20] <lostson> good morning all
