[09:12] <infinity> bjf: 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] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 1068866 in linux-lowlatency "linux-lowlatency: 3.5.0-18.18 -proposed tracker" [Medium,In progress]
[10:03] <wmp> hello, 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?
[15:00] <bjf> infinity, shankbot doesn't like it, i'm debugging
[15:16] <bjf> infinity, i have fixed it enough that it set the promote-to-proposed task
[15:18] <infinity> bjf: Out of curiosity, was it something Andy (or I) screwed up, or was the bot just broken?
[15:18] <bjf> infinity, it was the bot
[15:18] <infinity> bjf: Kay, good to know.
[15:18] <bjf> infinity, for some reason, it is a "new" package that we are tracking
[15:18] <bjf> infinity, was andy doing tracking bugs for previous versions ?
[15:19] <infinity> Nope, this was the first time it got a derivative tracking bug.
[15:19] <infinity> Andy's only been doing uploads since quantal opened, which didn't have tracking bugs into it went stable, of course.
[15:19] <bjf> infinity, ok, there is that plus work done to support raring
[15:20] <bjf> infinity, we don't "officially" support that package do we?
[15:20] <infinity> Nope.
[15:20] <infinity> Just has tracking bugs for convenience.
[15:20] <infinity> We could probably cut the QA tasks on it down to just one quick smoketest.
[15:20] <infinity> Cause 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.
[15:21] <bjf> infinity, so we _do_ want QA to test it (at least boot test it) ?
[15:22] <infinity> Yeah, probably that would be the Verification-testing task, the others (Cert and regression) could be auto-set to Invalid.
[15:22] <infinity> And security sign-off.
[15:22] <bjf> that seems close to being "supported"
[15:22] <cafetiere> bjf yeah i did it to not confuse as it was in the ppa, if i used it wrong do educate me :)
[15:22] <infinity> bjf: Nah, all SRUs require verification, even when they're not "supported".
[15:23] <bjf> cafetiere, the bot just didn't have any knowledge of that package, your usage was just fine
[15:23] <infinity> bjf: But "verification" is a long way off from the rigorous kernel QA we do, which is entirely unnecessary for this package.
[15:24] <bjf> yes, 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 pgraner
[15:24] <infinity> bjf: 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.
[15:25] <bjf> ok, so "someone" will smoketest it and set the verification task. and that "someone" won't be QA
[15:25] <jtaylor> just out of curiosity, why are transparent huge pages not enabled in ubuntu by default?
[15:25] <infinity> bjf: 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] <cafetiere> I'd like to see it held until master paasses or not if we can do thats
[15:26] <infinity> cafetiere: I'd be doing that anyway.
[15:26] <bjf> cafetiere, i'll ask herton to think about that
[15:26] <cafetiere> shankbot might be able to help there
[15:26] <infinity> But certainly, it would be cool if the bot did it for me, so I don't have to think. ;)
[15:26] <bjf> sounds like UDS fodder
[15:27] <cafetiere> bjf add it to the uds beer adgenda perhals
[15:27] <bjf> cafetiere, wfm
[15:27] <bjf> cafetiere, doing so now
[15:29] <cafetiere> thanms typing is hard enough on here
[15:29] <bjf> ack
[15:29]  * infinity almost forgot to process linux-signed in NEW...
[15:30] <bjf> cafetiere, added to the agenda
[15:33] <wmp> hello
[15:33] <wmp> i 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 resolution
[15:38] <infinity> Define "need".
[15:38] <cafetiere> the only 3.6 kernels packaged are the mainline ones

[19:33] <jtaylor> apt-get source linux-image* in quantal points to the precise git, not quantals
[20:08] <apw> jtaylor, hmmm
[20:09] <apw> jtaylor, will get it fixed
[20:11] <jtaylor> thx
[20:12] <jtaylor> do you happen do know why transparent huge pages are not enabled by default in quantals kernel?
[20:39] <apw> jtaylor, hmmm nope, i thought they were on in P, so i'd expect they remain on
[20:40] <jtaylor> according to http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/configs/ they were never on
[20:41] <jtaylor> (only via madvise)
[20:41] <apw> hmmm actually, perhaps they were on, and then in P there might have been VM corruption issues, and off it went ... smb might remember
