| tkamppeter | Can someone check whether the patch proposed on https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/25/57 is in our Oneiric kernel? The bug prevents many USB printers from being detected, see also http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3957. | 06:46 |
| jk- | tkamppeter: looks not to be applied to oneiric | 07:47 |
| tkamppeter | jk, can this get applied as an SRU for Oneiric? | 07:49 |
| tkamppeter | jk, I have even one of these printgers which do not get recognized. | 07:49 |
| jk- | tkamppeter: are you able to do the SRU proposal? | 07:50 |
| tkamppeter | jk-, ^^ | 07:50 |
| tkamppeter | jk-, I have never patched the kernel, so it would be better that one of you makes the updated kernel package. | 07:50 |
| tkamppeter | jk-, I can only report a bug | 07:51 |
| jk- | tkamppeter: on the phone, just a minute | 07:53 |
| jk- | tkamppeter: you don't need to update the kernel package; just sending the patch to the kernel team list is sufficient | 07:56 |
| jk- | there's a doc on what you need to include, just a sec | 07:57 |
| jk- | tkamppeter: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/StablePatchFormat | 07:57 |
| * jk- looks for a good example | 07:58 | |
| jk- | https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2011-October/017218.html | 07:58 |
| jk- | then, if the patch is suitable, the kernel folks will include that change in a -proposed kernel | 07:59 |
| jk- | they will ask you to test that, and report whether the new build fixes the problem | 07:59 |
| tkamppeter | jk-, I am preparing an SRU bug report currently. I will attach the patch to it and report the bug number here. | 08:01 |

| tkamppeter | Q-FUNK, do you have some bug numbers of bugs reported on LP where USB printers did not get detected? | 08:07 |
| jk- | tkamppeter: great! | 08:07 |
| Q-FUNK | tkamppeter: I mostly remember repeated issues about this at Debian, sorry. We might have some on LP too, but I'm not monitoring those. | 08:08 |
| jk- | tkamppeter: I'd still suggest that you send the patch to the kernel-team list | 08:08 |

| Q-FUNK | tgardner: would you know anything about why vesafb is disabled on recent mainline kernels? | 08:57 |
| tgardner | Q-FUNK, not off hand. maybe its dependent on some config option thats not getting enabled by default. | 08:59 |

| Q-FUNK | amitk: vesafb is the backup framebuffer, if no KMS-enabled framebuffer that mathces the hardware was found by udev. | 09:21 |

| n0ti0nis | hi everyone | 11:58 |
| n0ti0nis | 'im a newbie :) I need help, I don't know if I'm in the right place | 11:59 |
| tgardner | apw, kteam-tools/misc/ubuntu-repo-mirror | 12:34 |
| * apw looks | 12:39 | |
| apw | tgardner, so why do you delete all the remotes and remake them, doesn't that just cause more downloading for no gain ? | 12:47 |
| tgardner | apw, nope. by deleteing the remote it also drops all of the branches, which forces the next fetch to get 'em all. | 12:48 |
| tgardner | plus the new HEADs | 12:48 |
| apw | but thats what i mean, why do we need to do that, a git fetch would update any changed ones no? | 12:49 |
| apw | and add any new ones | 12:49 |
| tgardner | apw, well, oterwise I've got to have some complicated code to decide what branches are new, as well as pull the new HEAD for _every_ branch. this way I get 'em all in one fetch. besides, it doesn't take long. | 12:49 |
| apw | but git fetch <remote> updates all branches on that remote anyhow including new ones? | 12:50 |
| apw | and u just push all the ones you have after the fetch right? | 12:50 |
| apw | so i don't see what you are gaining | 12:51 |
| tgardner | apw, I think of a local branch already exists with a remote, then your must 'git fetch REMOTE BRANCH' in order to get the branch HEAD updated. | 12:51 |
| tgardner | s/of/if/ | 12:51 |
| apw | tgardner, you need to remake the local branches yes before you can push | 12:52 |
| apw | its the removal and readding of teh remote i don't get | 12:52 |
| === zz_bigbash is now known as bigbash | ||
| apw | but those are separate phases in your script, and unrelated | 12:52 |
| tgardner | apw, its just a simple way to get all of the branches. besides, its hardly worth optimizing since its already quite fast | 12:53 |
| apw | if it was remote at my house, it'd not be fast thats for sure, as it would have to download the entire of each repo each time right? | 12:54 |
| tgardner | apw, oh, heck no. | 12:54 |
| tgardner | perhaps if I prunes it might have to. | 12:54 |
| tgardner | pruned* | 12:54 |
| apw | we just seem to go to extra effort to remove the remotes | 12:54 |
| apw | and readd them, then just leaving them alone should do exactly the same thing | 12:55 |
| apw | yes the local branches need to be zapped and remade but ... | 12:55 |
| tgardner | apw, removing the remote is a shortcut that allows me to fetch all of the branch HEADS with one step | 12:55 |
| apw | but git fetch <remote> does that anyhow? | 12:56 |
| tgardner | not if the branch already exists locally. | 12:56 |
| tgardner | you have to 'git fetch REMOTE BRANCH' | 12:56 |
| apw | tgardner, no i do that all the time | 12:56 |
| tgardner | hmm, perhaps its pn newer versions ? Lucid and Maverick don't seem to | 12:57 |
| apw | the remote/xxx/foo branches are all updated together if you git fetch remote | 12:57 |
| apw | tgardner, are you sure? that semantic seems to have been the same always in my memory | 12:57 |
| tgardner | apw, I have this problem all the time where I don't get an update unless I specifically fetch the branch | 12:58 |
| tgardner | apw, anyways, what I was really trying to point out is the combined git repository once you're done. | 12:59 |
| apw | tgardner, how big is it? | 13:00 |
| tgardner | apw, 1.7Gb | 13:00 |
| apw | i wonder if a git gc in there would make any diffference | 13:00 |
| tgardner | apw, I'll try it. | 13:01 |

| sgs2_usr | i have problem with getting my HP EliteBook 8540w docking station to work on the sound output connected to the back of the docking station, anyone can help? | 13:53 |
| apw | sgs2_usr, have you filed a bug? that gets all the info someone needing to look at it requires, i think its ubuntu-bug alsa-driver | 13:54 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: where do i file the bug? #ubuntu-bug? | 13:54 |
| apw | in launchpad, but run "ubuntu-bug alsa-driver" in a terminal window | 13:55 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: launchpad? im using gnome classic | 13:55 |
| apw | launchpad is the bug tracker | 13:56 |
| apw | from a terminal run the command "ubuntu-bug alsa-driver" | 13:56 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: i issued the command and it says "alsa driver not installed" | 13:56 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: more specifically, it says Package alsa-driver does nto exist | 13:56 |

| apw | sgs2_usr, ok it seems to have changed to 'ubuntu-bug audio' go figure | 14:13 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: okay, let me try that :) | 14:13 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: yes, it's working ,but it prompt with many options, which one do i choose? | 14:14 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: okay,i think the closest is the first option: Black Headphone Out, Rear, Docking station (internal Audio - HDA Intel) | 14:14 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: okay, reported the problem... | 14:15 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: so what do i do next? wait for the bugfix? | 14:15 |
| apw | that should get it to the people who understand audio routing | 14:16 |
| apw | hopefully they will ask you more specific questions on the bug once the see it | 14:16 |
| sgs2_usr | apw: how do they contact me? | 14:17 |

| tgardner | The following packages have been kept back: | 15:56 |
| tgardner | linux-image-server-lts-backport-natty | 15:56 |
| sconklin | tgardner: kept back where? | 15:57 |
| tgardner | sconklin, I was just trying to update gomeisa. the error means one of the meta packages references a kernel package that does not yet exists | 15:58 |
| tgardner | I thought all of these packages were copied lock-step from the non-virt PPA | 15:58 |
| sconklin | I'll check, that's what I thought also | 15:58 |
| sconklin | tgardner: which version? -proposed or updates? specific version is better :-) | 16:01 |
| tgardner | sconklin, I pasted the error as it appears. likely from -proposed though. hang on a sec and I'll check. | 16:02 |
| tgardner | sconklin, yep, -proposed is enabled | 16:02 |
| sconklin | ack | 16:03 |
| sconklin | tgardner: it looks like they all made it into the PPA ok, so perhaps it was a copy error | 16:19 |
| sconklin | there have been a number of those recently | 16:19 |
| tgardner | sconklin, archive admin scripting ? | 16:20 |
| sconklin | tgardner: I have no idea, I have zero visibility to how they do their work | 16:21 |
| tgardner | sconklin, but its definitely an archive admin issue, right ? | 16:21 |
| sconklin | I am looking now to confirm that the package is not in the archive. I just always have to root around to figure it out | 16:22 |
