trippehdang. wireless-regdb really could use a update.04:57

apwtrippeh, could you file a bug against crda or whateevr it is called and let us know the bug number here. 17:38
apwtrippeh, wireless-regdb is separate ... so that indeed.17:42
NovelocratIs there a mechanical or enumerated correspondence between the names of kernel modules (as used by modprobe and listed by lsmod) and the CONFIG_* options in .config that control their compilation? I'd like to programmatically disable building (CONFIG_...=n) any unit that the distro's maintainers built as a module that I don't have loaded.17:51
apwNovelocrat, not that i know of, i think that is a tricky one to map too, as that mapping is essentially defined by the Makefile rules themselves.17:59
NovelocratOk, so if we wanted that sort of thing, someone would have to patch basically the entire kernel to create that correspondence18:01
apwyeah, it is pissible the mod info has other hints ...18:22
Novelocratlooks like 'make localmodconfig' does approximately what I want18:22
trippehapw: there was a bug already, bug 128409319:13
ubot5bug 1284093 in wireless-regdb (Ubuntu) "Please update regulations to support VHT" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/128409319:13
trippehlooks like debian is sometimes updating it to match upstream even in stable, so :)19:15
apwtrippeh, then we ought to be able to merge that with luck ...19:54
iusCan anyone tell how the extended stable kernels are related to the shipped releases? Specifically:20:10
iusI've tracked down this OOPS: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1296660 which seems to have an upstream fix in v3.1820:11
ubot5Launchpad bug 1296660 in linux (Ubuntu) "Kernel oops: fb: conflicting fb hw usage astdrmfb vs VESA VGA (unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference / con_set_unimap+0x32" [High,Confirmed]20:11
iusI also noticed it was backported to the extended stable http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=commit;h=c00b3bcf1e2e9531d1816c220fbac0852eaa4bd620:11
iusDoes that mean it'll end up in the Trusty release kernel eventually? I can't tell whether someone skipped that patch or that it's yet to land automagically..20:13
apwthe extended stables are pulled in fairly regularly, roughly every 3 weeks20:14
iusSo if a fix is present in the extended stable it should get fixed without any further action on my end.. ..soon?20:18
apwin theory, wtiting up that info in the bug would help20:22
iusActually, as I'm reviewing it now, I found the Trusty git repo and noticed it was pulled in for 3.13.0-44.7320:40
apwok good.  well note that too in the bug, then we can close it out20:41
iusRight. I've done so, didn't touch the bug status (besides, I'm unable to test, but based on my best judgment + disassembly the fix should be correct)20:53
iusThanks.20:53
apwius, if you are unable to reproduce after the update, that might be meaningful, maybe22:42
iusI can't really test it in a meaningful way, I've got no console access to the box to determine how often it currently panics. Traced the OOPs back to the line that's patched though, and it makes sense. I'll wait for someone else to ack it though.22:57
