[03:57] <a5m0> hi i'm running the xorg-edgers ppa on my xubuntu laptop and it seems that the 3.7 kernel that it's installing is causing a crash/panic whenever i plug in the power brick, i've searched around but it seems like this was an issue that was already fixed in previous kernels, anyone know of a fix?
[04:20] <tomreyn> a5m0: do you have acpi errors on boot?
[04:21] <a5m0> no errors on boot that i have seen, only when i plug the already running laptop into wall power
[04:21] <a5m0> the kernel panics/freezes
[04:27] <tomreyn> then i dont know, other than suggesting you try mainline
[04:31] <tomreyn> a5m0: i'm not sure which ubuntu version you're on, though. quantal xorg-edgers has  linux 3.8.0-6.11 since feb 11
[04:32] <a5m0> uname -a says 3.7.0-7 generic, but i'm on xubuntu with xorg-edgers
[04:39] <a5m0> 12.10 
[04:46] <tomreyn> a5m0: you're right, i actually have the same, and the 3.7 kernel, too
[04:48] <tomreyn> https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=quantal lists  linux_3.8.0-6.11 so I was mislead
[04:50] <tomreyn> a5m0: i had some ACPI issues with the 3.7 kernel, that's why i checked with ricotz + sarvatt whether they could provide a newer one, but i think they ran into dependency hell.
[04:53] <a5m0> :/ wonder if i should downgrade or if it will ever get fixed
[04:53] <a5m0> it didn't always do this
[04:54] <tomreyn> downgrading has always been a pain for me. ppa-purge never worked properly.
[04:54] <tomreyn> why not try mainline?
[04:55] <a5m0> wouldn't i have to purge to go to mainline?
[04:57] <a5m0> how do you suggest i switch to mainline?
[04:59] <tomreyn> you just need to add the repository
[04:59] <tomreyn> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
[04:59] <tomreyn> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
[04:59] <tomreyn> read this before you do: http://askubuntu.com/questions/162616/should-i-upgrade-to-the-mainline-kernels
[05:16] <a5m0> "They will often break drivers" doesn't that defeat the purpose of using xorg edgers?
[05:16] <a5m0> i thought that xorg-edgers releases their own kernels because it had drivers in them
[05:17] <tomreyn> i think this warning is primarily about proprietary drivers
[05:17] <a5m0> ok well i'll try it then
[05:17] <a5m0> i'm using intel hd4000
[05:18] <tomreyn> the good thing bout mainline is that you can easily switch between that and the other kernel you have
[05:19] <tomreyn> also you can easily remove it
[05:21] <a5m0> i tried sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa but apt-get gives me a 404, is there a newer one?
[05:21] <tomreyn> ppa:kernel-ppa should work
[05:22] <a5m0> W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kernel-ppa/ppa/ubuntu/dists/quantal/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
[05:24] <tomreyn> sorry, i was wrong. this is how to do it: http://askubuntu.com/questions/65661/i-was-told-on-launchpad-to-test-a-mainline-kernel-how-do-i-do-that-with-nvidia
[05:27] <a5m0> so it has to be done manually every time?
[05:27] <tomreyn> i guess. i haven't done it in a while
[05:48] <tomreyn> https://github.com/medigeek/kmp-downloader
[05:48] <tomreyn> this should help automating it to a sufficient degree.
[07:41] <a5m0> cool, thanks for the info tomreyn 
[07:58] <tomreyn> you're welcome
[19:10] <mlankhorst> bryce: in london?
