[00:49] <Redoubt> Does anyone know at what level a tap-to-click is handled?
[00:49] <Redoubt> What decides?
[00:49] <RAOF> Redoubt: The X driver.
[00:50] <Redoubt> RAOF: Thank you-- is it purely time-based?
[00:50] <RAOF> I believe so; you'd want to check the finite state automaton in xf86-input-synaptics
[00:54] <Redoubt> RAOF: Okay, I appreciate the help!
[01:05] <jgriffith> smb`: ping
[01:21] <Redoubt> Are funkeys (volume up, volume down, etc) handled in the userspace nowadays?
[01:23] <RAOF> Yes
[01:25] <Redoubt> RAOF: I'm having some trouble figuring out where, exactly. Any pointers?
[01:25] <RAOF> gnome-settings-daemon does the handling in GNOME/Unity; KDE will have an equivalent.
[01:27] <Redoubt> RAOF: So if I have a funkey that adjusts my keyboard backlight brightness, does gnome-settings-daemon turn that into... an ACPI signal back to my keyboard?
[01:27] <RAOF> That depends :)
[01:27] <Redoubt> Haha
[01:27] <Redoubt> How do I learn that stuff?
[01:28] <RAOF> So, posibilities include: your firmware doesn't generate an event at all, and just twiddles backlight brightness itself. Or, generates an event that gets sent to gnome-settings-daemon and then g-s-d doesn't know what to do with it.
[01:30] <Redoubt> Ah, I didn't know that first one was an option. Is there a way to confirm one way or another?
[01:32] <Redoubt> The backlight _does_ change, just not in an ideal manner. I was hoping I could take a look at the logic

[07:43] <smb> Daviey, In the sense that I cannot see in a low-level experiment that the dd I use hangs. I get an IO error and the snapshot is invalidated as I would expect. I would at least need someone affected getting back in the report and saying whether the reproduction happens on them
[07:44] <smb> Daviey, There is the other part that maybe a slightly bigger snapshot size may circumvent the issue, too.
[07:46] <smb> Unfortunately there is no pre-existing simple way to convert the snapshot storage/meta-data area into a linear volume and erase that later.
[07:46] <smb> (at least I found none)

[12:49] <ppisati> is the fix carried over?
[12:49] <ppisati> in Q is fixed at kernel level, so no prob there

[12:50] <ogra_> it is a file that jasper creates in /etc/sysctl.d ... 
[12:50] <ogra_> that file isnt owned by any package, so upgrades should still have it
[12:50] <ogra_> (i.e. there is nothing removin that file)

[15:18] <ppisati> ogra_: let's see this framebuffer thing
[15:18] <ogra_> you should just see the d-i screen right after booting
[15:18] <ogra_> it comes up really fast 
[15:18] <ppisati> besides, someone should really tell what's the rationale in requiring a monitor for a server installation... but that's another story...
[15:19] <ppisati> ogra_: on the screen, right?
[15:20] <ogra_> yes
[15:20] <ogra_> ppisati, we used to default to serial and i agree with you that servers should be serial ...
[15:21] <ogra_> but with us forcing unity on everyone people asked for a way to install xubuntu or lubuntu desktops ... 
[15:21] <ogra_> for which server or netinst is your best chouce
[15:21] <ogra_> and tehse people want to use framebuffer
[15:21] <ppisati> i disagree here
[15:22] <ppisati> if i install a server (a dell blade&c) i'll never attach an lcd to it perhaps
[15:22] <ogra_> oh. sure

[16:55] <jsalisbury> penguin42, ahh, ok :-)
[16:57] <jsalisbury> penguin42, It's strange that the bug does not exist on v3.6-rc1, since the same commit that causes the bug in 3.5.3 is applied there as well.  An email has been sent upstream requesting info as well.
[16:58] <penguin42> jsalisbury: Yeh, there are lots of other changes in 3.6 though, so I assume another one fixed it somewhere or it was an incomplete backport of a patch from 3.6

[16:59] <jsalisbury> penguin42, yeah.  I'll have to look closer

[17:29] <jgriffith> smb: ping
[17:34]  * rtg -> lunch
[18:27] <rtg> smb, so what is your call on bug #1038055 ? do you still want CONFIG_DRM_CIRRUS_QEMU disabled ?

[19:35] <herton> rtg, that apparmor sru for lucid will not apply, wrong patch?
[19:37] <rtg> herton, perhaps, lemme check
[19:40] <rtg> herton, hmm, looks right to me. try git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rtg/ubuntu-lucid.git master-next
[19:41] <herton> rtg, right, ignore me... now I noticed I was in the wrong branch after reviewing lts-backport oneiric today...
[19:42] <rtg> herton, np
[19:54] <rtg> herton, arges: I'm getting a lot of noise from the AA reproducer script in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1056078/comments/2 . Is that what you would expect ?
[19:54] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1056078 in linux "freeing apparmor profiles cause irq stack overflow" [Undecided,In progress]
[19:59] <herton> rtg, on a precise vm I get lots of "apparmor_parser: cannot use or update cache..."
[20:00] <rtg> herton, thats what I got as well, but dmesg indicates that tehre are profiles being deleted. is that the same in yours ?
[20:01] <herton> rtg, yes, some profile_replace messages
[20:02] <rtg> herton, ok. I guess thats good.
[20:29]  * rtg -> EOD
[20:45] <phillw> Hi, is kernel-3.6.0-0.rc6.git0.2.fc18 (or later) going to land for 12.10?
[20:58] <bjf> phillw, we are going with the 3.5 kernel
[21:03] <phillw> bjf: okies, I'll have to go figure out another route to fix bug 1043518 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=857300

[21:04] <phillw> hopefully I can nosplasj put in for the PPC architecture until 3.6 arrives for 13.04
[21:04] <phillw> *nosplash*
[21:50] <infinity> phillw: You should be isolating the git commit and asking people to pull it into our kernel, not to upgrade wholesale to 3.6.0
[21:51] <phillw> infinity: my apologies, when it comes to this level of detail, I'm way out of my depth... sorry!
[21:52] <phillw> so, now that I know the correct question.. could the patch be applied to our current 3.5.x kernel. From my (very) limited reading of the bug report, it did not cause regressions and fixed the issue.
