| llogiq | Hi folks. I have a patch (from arch) that I want to apply against the bcmwl_kernel_source package's contents. However, when I try to manually apply the patches, it errors out, and the resulting code won't even compile. | 16:45 |
| llogiq | Btw. the patch in question is on http://pastebin.com/pATazP6K | 16:45 |
| llogiq | It has gotten positive results with BCM43142 and BCM4311 chipsets, removing the dreaded kernel oops for some people, that's why I wanted to try it. | 16:46 |
| teward | llogiq: you might want to see if the patch even applies in the current package contents | 16:59 |
| teward | (for all we know it's already there) | 16:59 |
| llogiq | the patch itself is not applied, and it's also not already there. | 16:59 |
| teward | the next question is, does the patch apply at all, in that you go code hunting to try and find where it needs patching | 17:00 |
| teward | the patch not applying means that theres things changed somewhere, and the code wouldn't apply | 17:00 |
| teward | (means the matching changes can't be found) | 17:01 |
| llogiq | I already did that. The problem is that the package has its own set of patches. | 17:01 |
| llogiq | Those patches apparently need to be applied (because else the thing won't build with current kernels) | 17:01 |
| teward | llogiq: this is why you download the source package with dget, then rebuild the source package as a new package yourself | 17:02 |
| teward | (`quilt import /path/to/new/patch` later) | 17:02 |
| llogiq | But when I try to apply them manually, they fail. | 17:03 |
| llogiq | The patches are not applied in /usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom | 17:03 |
| llogiq | I have also looked at the exact location where the patch applies, it looks the same. | 17:04 |
| llogiq | teward, the package is in a way already a source package. Or do I misunderstand you? | 17:04 |
| teward | llogiq: which version of the source package did you pull | 17:11 |
| teward | (i.e. which release) | 17:11 |
| teward | ooo restricted | 17:12 |
| llogiq | 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu1 | 17:12 |
| llogiq | Why do you ask? And yes, the broadcom linux sta driver is partially closed-source. | 17:12 |
| llogiq | Which is why it's in restricted. | 17:12 |
| teward | llogiq: i asked because i was going to test the patch myself and see if it applies (then run it through a debian package builder to see if it actually fails to build that method) | 17:14 |
| llogiq | I'm probably doing something wrong, because using apt-get install the package builds just ok. | 17:14 |
| llogiq | teward, could you walk me through the steps to add that patch to the package? | 17:15 |
| llogiq | I'm good with low- and high-level code, but not very knowledgeable around dpkg or apt. | 17:16 |
| teward | llogiq: well adding it to the package yourself is one thing | 17:17 |
| llogiq | Or at least find out what the installation is doing so I can trace its steps manually (and apply the patch inbetween) | 17:18 |
| llogiq | Whatever is easier. | 17:18 |
| llogiq | Of course, if it actually works, I'd link the patch to a couple of bugs on launchpad... :-) | 17:19 |
| teward | llogiq: well, that's a different process than just patching it for yourself | 17:20 |
| llogiq | teward: What would you do? | 17:20 |
| teward | llogiq: well, i usually dont' fuss with libraries and kernel stuff, and you might want to check with people much higher up the dev pipeline than I am | 17:21 |
| teward | wxl: any insights? | 17:21 |
| llogiq | I think I may be able to handle the kernel stuff, but I don't want to break what has already been done right by others. | 17:22 |
| * llogiq needs to go afk for about 2 hours. I'll be back. | 17:24 | |
| robin_be | I am trying to install lubuntu 14.04 and I get following message: "The attempt to mount a file system with type swap in SCSI2 (0,0,0), partition #6 (sda) at none failed. You may resume partitioning from the partitioning menu" | 18:49 |
| Mr_Comet | robin_be- i think it is a partition issue. | 18:53 |
| robin_be | Can I install without creating swap partition and add if afterwards? It's not complaining about the ext4 partition | 18:57 |
| ianorlin | you can install without swap but then you cannot suspend the computer | 18:58 |
| Mr_Comet | ianorlin- interesting limitation on feature | 18:58 |
| ianorlin | and you may run out of memory and have your process killed by the out of memory killer | 18:58 |
| ianorlin | which can happen with browsers with lots of tabs open | 18:59 |
| robin_be | But I can add swap after installation right? | 19:00 |
| Mr_Comet | true | 19:00 |
| Mr_Comet | robin_be- dont think so | 19:00 |
| robin_be | oh | 19:00 |
| ianorlin | yes you can but you would have to resize a partition | 19:00 |
| ianorlin | and install something like gparted to do that | 19:00 |
| ianorlin | also how many partitions are already on that disk | 19:01 |
| ianorlin | as with mbr you can only have 4 primary partitons | 19:01 |
| robin_be | 3 primary + 1 extended | 19:01 |
| apricot1 | hello I installed Lubuntu on a 'BananaPro'. Then I wanted to install TigerVNC as described in ubuntuusers.de/VNC - I get: E: unable to locate package tigervnc-server. What should I use to connect to a BananaPro from PC with Ubuntu 14.04? | 19:01 |
| robin_be | can windows access a ntfs partition inside an extended partition? | 19:02 |
| ianorlin | not sure don't use windows anymore | 19:04 |
| robin_be | oh nvm, don't have to do that, I could delete the reovery partition (still have that on a 2nd hdd) | 19:04 |
| robin_be | but now the installer is freezing... | 19:05 |
| ianorlin | !md5 | 19:06 |

| robin_be | Can I terminate it someway? | 19:07 |
| robin_be | no problems now | 19:29 |
| robin_be | now I didn't format the swap partition on forehand with gparted, and didn't select format for the ext4 partition | 19:30 |
| robin_be | oh no this is 32bit | 19:33 |
| * robin_be smashes head on desk | 19:33 | |
| robin_be | oh well, installation finished, good enough for now :p | 19:35 |
| llogiq | re | 21:50 |
| llogiq | This is later than I had anticipated. I just had a bike accident (luckily I got off without any bruises). | 21:51 |
| shuman | hello | 23:27 |
| shuman | I just installed lubuntu-desktop on ubuntu, and I like it, but can't change the keyboard layout.. which app should I use to do it? | 23:28 |
| shuman | I'm asking also because right now I have many apps for system preferences from other "desktops" and so I don't know which one is actualy the one I'm looking for in lubuntu-desktop ;) | 23:29 |
| === vlt_ is now known as vlt | ||
| shuman | ok, nvm... | 23:45 |
