=== yofel_ is now known as yofel [01:10] can someone help me track down a driver for a netgear wpn111 [01:10] usb wifi [07:50] howdy! is there an official ubuntu method for declaring gfxpayload in Oneric? [08:00] I still get the warning if I use vga=XXX in the boot options, but no instruction on where to declare the corresponding GFXPAYLOAD === tkamppeter_ is now known as tkamppeter [13:27] What is the function of the process »netns«? http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.35.8/Documentation/ :Filename search: netns did not enlighten me. === JanC_ is now known as JanC === crazyhorse is now known as crazyhorse_away [17:30] Greetings... Are there any huge differences between 3.0.0-11 and 3.0.0.12 because the latter refuses to boot... It just hangs after it loads initrd ... [21:51] cjwatson: thanks for your precision about GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep, but it still doesn't explain how to transition from vga=mode to gfxpayload. === RAOF_ is now known as RAOF [23:12] Q-FUNK: the manual should, providing you know what mode the vga= rune corresponds to [23:13] cjwatson: the point is, grub complains that vga=mode is obsolete and that "set gfxpayload=XXXxYYY" should be used instead. it doesn't say where or how. [23:13] read the manual [23:14] please? [23:14] cjwatson: it's also a lot more involved than adding GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep, as I found out. [23:15] the manual doesn't document /etc/default/grub afaik. [23:15] anyway, my goal was just to correct a misconception in a public bug report as these things have a way of being googleable and confusing others [23:15] sure does [23:15] http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Simple-configuration [23:19] cjwatson: ok. thanks for that pointer. however, noticed my last comment on that bug? [23:19] yes. we know. [23:20] ok. why hasn't framebuffer=y become standard, then? [23:20] because it slows down boot performance [23:20] rock, meet hard place [23:21] if you wish to edit things locally such that you still use vga= (the mechanism for doing so is discussed in the manual), feel free [23:22] well, not discussed in detail I suppose, it doesn't explain that you need to edit /etc/grub.d/10_linux to do that, which is unfortunate [23:22] I don't think most people are best off doing that [23:23] and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep is deliberately not retained in recovery mode; that's a recent change because it was causing practical problems [23:23] basically none of this is a kernel bug, anyway ... [23:25] well, it was difficult for me to know whether grub or the kernel was the culprit. as it now appears, those are all deliberate grub design choices. [23:25] sort of [23:26] using the 32-bit entry point is a deliberate design choice (better consistency across platforms), which implies vga= not working [23:26] that those new design ideas turn the process of setting the framebuffer into a much more complex gig and that it's not remotely as simple or accross the board as vga=mode apparently was dismissed. [23:26] I'm not going to engage in a debate that takes this tone though [23:27] using 32-bit is ok. no longer applying the previous accross the board solution is not. [23:27] I was going to explain in detail but not now. [23:27] bye. [23:27] *sigh*
