[06:10] <BeagleBug_97> Hi, is there any guide on installing a real-time patch on Ubuntu 14.04 kernel running on BeagleBoard xM?
[06:14] <BeagleBug_97> I found this one : https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/RT_PREEMPT_HOWTO
[06:14] <BeagleBug_97> But how do I leverage the rt features for an ARM processor?
[15:52] <yossarianuk> hi - not sure who i spoke to in here weeks ago
[15:53] <yossarianuk> I was asking about the OSS snd modules in the kernel (the fact that Ubuntu removes them completely) and that I am unable to play some old games unless i recompile the kernel
[15:53] <yossarianuk> I created a bug report - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1434842
[15:53] <yossarianuk> cheers
[17:56] <infinity> yossarianuk: It's a situation where no one can really win, unfortunately.
[17:57] <infinity> yossarianuk: IIRC, compiling OSS (even as modules) leaves some scaffolding in the kernel that makes it misbehave slightly on modern systems.
[17:58] <yossarianuk> infinity: but surely if the modules are disabled by default it won't hurt ?  other distros (like most of them) have them in the kernel but disabled by default
[18:02] <infinity> yossarianuk: So, the userspace shims entirely fail to work in some cases, but maybe these cases involved having one or two things compiled in.  We can certainly look at it again.
[18:02] <infinity> apw: Can we investigate if it's possible to build OSS *entirely* as modules with no taint on vmlinuz and then just blacklist them all?
[18:04] <yossarianuk> cool - its one issue I have with ubuntu... Debian (wheezy) opensuse , Fedora and Arch do have access to the module...
[18:05] <infinity> yossarianuk: No promises or anything.  But looking through the last few times it was disabled, accidentally enabled, and disabled again, there were always a few =y bits.  If it's possible for the whole thing to be =m, *and* that influences vmlinux in no way, then I don't see the harm.
[18:06] <infinity> apw: ^
[18:39] <yossarianuk> infinity: thank you very much !
[18:40] <yossarianuk> infinity: any effort is welcomed....
[18:42] <apw> infinity, indeed
[18:47] <apw> infinity, i guess with our new blacklist generator we could do that to them
[19:30] <yossarianuk> well thanks for whoever looks into this - i'm going to test kubuntu 15.04 - will file bug reports if i find any
