[08:37] <ppisati> morning *
[09:58]  * ppisati -> errands, back in a bit
[10:10]  * apw reboots to test a new kernel
[10:21]  * apw survives the reboot
[10:35] <jk-> apw: sounds like reboot cake is in order
[10:36] <apw> jk-, oh thats a nice idea, is that non-fatening as well?
[10:57] <Fudge> hi im on lucid and am looking for a ubuntu ppa for natty backported kernel, anyone know the team name?
[11:01] <Fudge> oh found it :$
[13:48] <apw> Fudge, they are in the main archive
[14:39] <MestreLion> Hi! I assume this is a fairly common question: i have maverick, and i would like to upgrade its kernel from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36. What would be the best approach? (if there is any)
[14:39] <MestreLion> (the reason is support to PWM fan control that was only added for my motherboard in 2.6.36
[14:40] <MestreLion> is there any easy, safe, sane approach?
[14:41] <An-iSociaL> add it as an additional boot entry so if things go awry you can simply reboot the old one?
[14:43] <MestreLion> An-iSociaL: doesn't grub-update automatically does that?
[14:43] <MestreLion> update-grub i mean
[14:43] <An-iSociaL> not sure
[14:43] <MestreLion> for minor updates that usually pop in update manager, it does
[14:43] <An-iSociaL> i would usually do that stuff manually cuz im a control freak
[14:44] <MestreLion> i mean 2.6.35.xx
[14:45] <MestreLion> kernel updates add up in my grub menu... so i think that part is safe
[14:45] <MestreLion> but i have no idea on how to obtain and install 2.6.36 (or newer) in maverick
[14:46] <MestreLion> im a newbie, so the more automated, pain free, the better.. what is the best approach?
[14:47] <An-iSociaL> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[14:48] <An-iSociaL> the maverick 2.6.36 is there
[14:49] <MestreLion> and what do i need to do? just install all the debs? is that simple?
[14:51] <An-iSociaL> couldnt say from your setup
[14:51] <An-iSociaL> i would usually end up compiling it from source
[14:53] <An-iSociaL> http://askubuntu.com/questions/9504/how-can-i-use-a-2-6-36-kernel-in-maverick
[14:53] <An-iSociaL> they suggest it is as simple as installing the deb
[14:54] <MestreLion> yes, ive been there... thats how i ended up here
[14:55] <MestreLion> how this you get that URL , by the way? i tried to navigate from kernel.ubuntu.com and never found the http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[14:56] <An-iSociaL> ah
[14:56] <An-iSociaL> im not actually any type of ubuntu support person, just another user in chat
[14:57] <MestreLion> youre still helping me a lot , and im very grateful
[14:57] <An-iSociaL> really here to try n get help compiling 2.6.36 with tegra2 and quantum touch ic touchscreen support under arm
[14:57] <An-iSociaL> no worries glad to help
[14:59] <MestreLion> by the way.. that is "mainline" ? it means vanilla kernel, without ubuntu/maverick's patches?
[15:00] <An-iSociaL> there are vanilla and specific from what i can ascertain, the ones specifically tagged maverick i think have the patches
[15:05] <MestreLion> thank you An-iSociaL
