| deffrag | Hello! Is <sudo cat /dev/sda5 | md5sum> the right way to get md5sum for sda5 partition? Or what exactly will the command do? | 07:01 |

| ryant5000 | how would I go about building a 3.4 kernel on/for Amazon EC2? i'm on Precise, and I grabbed a clone of the git repo, but i don't see how to build the "virtual" flavour | 13:46 |
| bjf | ryant5000, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel , down in the "Building the Kernel" section substitute "binary-virtual" for "binary-generic" | 15:36 |
| bjf | ryant5000, i just kicked one off myself, if that doesn't work, i'll know in a little bit | 15:37 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: hm, i tried that, but it said it couldn't find binary-virtual | 15:37 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: where did you get your sources? | 15:37 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: i was building from a tag in git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git | 15:38 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: i got the impression that somehow the sources i had didn't include a virtual flavour | 15:39 |
| bjf | ryant5000, i did: fakeroot debian/rules clean; fakeroot debian/rules binary-virtual | 15:43 |
| bjf | ryant5000: and it's building as we speak | 15:44 |
| ryant5000 | hm, ok; and was your source from that same git repo? | 15:44 |
| bjf | ryant5000: i am building precise which was cloned from the ubuntu precise repo | 15:45 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: ok, i guess maybe it was a mistake to check out a tag; i'll give it a try from master | 15:45 |
| bjf | ryant5000: which tag did you use ? | 15:46 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: i don't recall exactly, but i think it was the latest tag with a 3.4 version number | 15:46 |
| bjf | ryant5000: that should work | 15:47 |
| bjf | ryant5000: um, actually ... 3.4? precise is based on 3.2 | 15:47 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: right :) i was hoping to upgrade | 15:48 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: i'd like to use a couple of features from the new kernel | 15:48 |
| bjf | ryant5000: so you have a different option, use the "lts backport" kernel which is a quantal kernel built to run on precise userspace | 15:49 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: ah, ok; i think i recall seeing that branch | 15:49 |
| bjf | ryant5000: it's not really a "backport" just what we call it | 15:49 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: right; makes sense | 15:49 |
| bjf | ryant5000: there's one all built | 15:49 |
| bjf | ryant5000: it is built everytime the regular quantal kernel is built | 15:50 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: oh, can i just grab the deb? i'm not trying to do anything fancy, just a stock 3.4 or later kernel | 15:50 |
| ryant5000 | (i did try searching for it, but I wasn't able to find it) | 15:50 |
| bjf | ryant5000: yes, or it's in a ppa ... one sec | 15:50 |
| bjf | ryant5000: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/q-lts-backport | 15:52 |
| bjf | ryant5000: there are other packages there but you want "linux-lts-quantal" | 15:53 |
| ryant5000 | ok, cool | 15:53 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: thanks; i'll give that a shot | 15:53 |
| bjf | ryant5000: easier than building your own (though that isn't too bad) | 15:54 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: yeah, definitely; the build process is way easier than the last time i tried (years ago) | 15:55 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: so, that backports ppa doesn't seem to have the -virtual packages either | 16:30 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: if i'm going to build myself, should i be building out of the precise or quantal repositories? | 16:30 |
| bjf | ryant5000: in quantal the virtual flavour was eliminated | 17:47 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: hm; so i guess i'll have to tell pv-grub to take the generic flavour | 17:47 |
| ryant5000 | bjf: it says something about ignoring the generic kernel when it updates grub | 17:48 |
| ryant5000 | maybe i'll just run on the quantal daily for a while | 17:48 |

| dileks | hi | 18:55 |
| dileks | I used a quantal kernel-config as base for my linux-next kernel | 18:55 |
| dileks | diff: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1091987/ | 18:56 |
| dileks | now there are new variables CONFIG_MEDIA_*_SUPPORT to sort camera|tv|radio|rc | 18:56 |
| dileks | what I did was a 'yes "" | make oldconfig' | 18:57 |
| dileks | as CONFIG_MEDIA_*_SUPPORT=n turned off all dvb|radio|rc|camera modules/built-in stuff | 18:58 |
| dileks | any other magic make-option where I can keep old media-configs? | 18:59 |
| deffrag_ | Hello! I've a question related to ARM. As mentioned in line comment 23-28 here - http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/arm/kernel/kprobes-common.c - R15 gives PC+8 in the first cycle of an instruction then PC | 19:33 |
| deffrag_ | Oops! R15 gives PC+8 in the first cycle of an instruction then PC+12 in subsequent cycles. What is the reason for that? | 19:49 |
