infinitybjf: Did Andy muck something up with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lowlatency/+bug/1068866 or is there a reason the bot hasn't set the promote-to-proposed task as confirmed by now?09:12
ubot2Launchpad bug 1068866 in linux-lowlatency "linux-lowlatency: 3.5.0-18.18 -proposed tracker" [Medium,In progress]09:12

wmphello, i want to use 3.6.2 kernel, but on this kenrel i have wrong resolution and i havent wifi. What i should doing to have wifi and good resolution?10:03
bjfinfinity, shankbot doesn't like it, i'm debugging15:00
bjfinfinity, i have fixed it enough that it set the promote-to-proposed task15:16
infinitybjf: Out of curiosity, was it something Andy (or I) screwed up, or was the bot just broken?15:18
bjfinfinity, it was the bot15:18
infinitybjf: Kay, good to know.15:18
bjfinfinity, for some reason, it is a "new" package that we are tracking15:18
bjfinfinity, was andy doing tracking bugs for previous versions ?15:18
infinityNope, this was the first time it got a derivative tracking bug.15:19
infinityAndy's only been doing uploads since quantal opened, which didn't have tracking bugs into it went stable, of course.15:19
bjfinfinity, ok, there is that plus work done to support raring15:19
bjfinfinity, we don't "officially" support that package do we?15:20
infinityNope.15:20
infinityJust has tracking bugs for convenience.15:20
infinityWe could probably cut the QA tasks on it down to just one quick smoketest.15:20
infinityCause it's identical to the mainline, except for two patches, so really, we just want to know it installs/boots/reboots, and it's good enough.15:20
bjfinfinity, so we _do_ want QA to test it (at least boot test it) ?15:21
infinityYeah, probably that would be the Verification-testing task, the others (Cert and regression) could be auto-set to Invalid.15:22
infinityAnd security sign-off.15:22
bjfthat seems close to being "supported"15:22
cafetierebjf yeah i did it to not confuse as it was in the ppa, if i used it wrong do educate me :)15:22
infinitybjf: Nah, all SRUs require verification, even when they're not "supported".15:22
bjfcafetiere, the bot just didn't have any knowledge of that package, your usage was just fine15:23
infinitybjf: But "verification" is a long way off from the rigorous kernel QA we do, which is entirely unnecessary for this package.15:23
bjfyes, but given the amount of work QA is doing, asking them to test non-supported packages seems like i'll be asking to get punched by pgraner15:24
infinitybjf: Oh, no, I'm not implying that Canonical QA would be doing the Verification-testing, just that someone needs to do a quick smoketest.  For some value of $someone.15:24
bjfok, so "someone" will smoketest it and set the verification task. and that "someone" won't be QA15:25
jtaylorjust out of curiosity, why are transparent huge pages not enabled in ubuntu by default?15:25
infinitybjf: If they key off that task for their own workflow, best to auto-set it to invalid too, and we can just set a verification-needed tag on the bug for someone to do normal SRU verification.15:25
cafetiereI'd like to see it held until master paasses or not if we can do thats15:25
infinitycafetiere: I'd be doing that anyway.15:26
bjfcafetiere, i'll ask herton to think about that15:26
cafetiereshankbot might be able to help there15:26
infinityBut certainly, it would be cool if the bot did it for me, so I don't have to think. ;)15:26
bjfsounds like UDS fodder15:26
cafetierebjf add it to the uds beer adgenda perhals15:27
bjfcafetiere, wfm15:27
bjfcafetiere, doing so now15:27
cafetierethanms typing is hard enough on here15:29
bjfack15:29
* infinity almost forgot to process linux-signed in NEW...15:29
bjfcafetiere, added to the agenda15:30
wmphello15:33
wmpi need to use kernel 3.6.2 in 12.10, how to do it? I test mainline kernel and all work, but i havent wifi and good resolution15:33
infinityDefine "need".15:38
cafetierethe only 3.6 kernels packaged are the mainline ones15:38

ubot2Launchpad bug 1068340 in linux "I havent second thread" [Medium,Confirmed]15:39
jtaylorapt-get source linux-image* in quantal points to the precise git, not quantals19:33
apwjtaylor, hmmm20:08
apwjtaylor, will get it fixed20:09
jtaylorthx20:11
jtaylordo you happen do know why transparent huge pages are not enabled by default in quantals kernel?20:12
apwjtaylor, hmmm nope, i thought they were on in P, so i'd expect they remain on20:39
jtayloraccording to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/configs/ they were never on20:40
jtaylor(only via madvise)20:41
apwhmmm actually, perhaps they were on, and then in P there might have been VM corruption issues, and off it went ... smb might remember20:41
apwjtaylor, 21:15
