[11:14] <ben-8409> hi there! i filled a bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1321421) because sound on my new mb with intel h97 chipset was unusable. i turns out there where just some device ids missing and a patch is lined up for linux 3.15 as of today https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound/+/77f07800cb456bed6e5c345e6e4e83e8eda62437%5E!/#F0. As this is a 3 line change, any chance that could be backporte
[11:14] <ben-8409> d for 14.04? 
[11:57] <apw> ben-8409, that doesn't look impossible indeed
[12:01] <ben-8409> apw: would be great. i am currently compiling the ubuntu kernel myself to verify. anything else i could do?
[12:03] <apw> ben-8409, i see it hasn't made it as far linus' tree yet, it is always nice for it to make it there before we'd pull it in; limits the chance it will change again
[12:04] <ben-8409> apw: sure, makes sense.
[12:04] <apw> but i cannot see it changing, it is pretty small, and likely to be in 3.15-rc7 or 3.16-rc1
[12:05] <apw> so if you could confirm in the bug you have tested with that patch applied to the ubuntu latest
[12:05] <apw> whihc you can build, or i can if you cant
[12:05] <apw> and then poke us again when the commit hits linus' tree, then we cna sru it i'd say
[12:08] <ben-8409> i am trying currently (something is building) but i noticed there are different ways to build the ubuntu kernel refered in the wiki. i simply used apt-source , applied the patch and build with debbuild
[12:08] <ben-8409> as  described here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile
[12:09] <ben-8409> apw: should i do anything in the bug report? LP:1321421
[12:11] <ben-8409> and stupid question: how do i know the commit hits linux tree?
[12:15] <apw> ben-8409, yeah that will work i am sure
[12:15] <apw> ben-8409, just record your testing in the bug, so someone else reading it can tell you did that
[12:15] <apw> and doens't ask you to do it agian
[12:16] <apw> you can tell if it is in linus tree via the gitweb interface for kernel.org, or via cloneing
[12:16] <apw> ben-8409, or, come back and poke us in about a week when linus' releases the next -rc and ask me :)
[12:16] <ben-8409> ok, thanks a lot!
[12:18] <ben-8409> my build is done, i will reboot and see what happened 
[12:18] <ben-8409> apw: thanks again and bye
[19:28] <greearb> anyone know if standard upstream 3.14 kernel will work as a live-cd boot kernel?
[19:30] <greearb> ie, I want to build a live-cd based on Ubuntu with customized kernel, but would rather use standard upstream kernel as base instead of ubuntu kernel.
[20:11] <apw> greearb, i believe that a live image needs an overlay filesystem to work, and there is not one upstream
[20:11] <greearb> ahh, I was afraid of that
