[03:45] <shepster> OK
[03:46] <shepster> anyone wanna talk about failed upgrades?

[03:47] <cfhowlett> pages 4, 7
[03:48] <shepster> thanks cf
[03:48] <lunatic-> anybody want to help me?
[03:49] <cfhowlett> !ask | lunatic-
[03:49] <ubottu> lunatic-: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[03:49] <lunatic-> oh sorry
[03:49] <lunatic-> How do I create a bootable usb stick that has ubuntu studio on mac?

[04:03] <shepster> My system upgraded from 3.13.0-68-lowlatency to 3.13.0-70-lowlatency through automatic notification and muon updater, done.  Yesterday I was looking at the muon application and I thought I would run it to see if any more updates were available.  It said there was a system update available so I clicked install and it proceeded to install 3.13.0-68-lowlatency and actually rolled back to the previous upgrade.  Now my KDE desktop is hope
[04:03] <shepster> lessly f'ed up.  How do I get 3.13.0-70-lowlatency back?
[04:04] <cfhowlett> reboot, at grub go to advanced options, choose your kernel.
[04:04] <shepster> only 68 is available there
[04:05] <cfhowlett> shepster, only 1 kernel?!
[04:05] <shepster> yes
[04:06] <shepster> I also only have 68 in the boot folder
[04:07] <cfhowlett> shepster, sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[04:08] <shepster> I can do that...
[04:09] <shepster> be back soon...
[04:29] <rls> cf - can you resend the apt commands re: sudo apt update && sudo apt full_upgrade
[04:30] <rls> I need to see if I did it right but I had to logout to get to the right user so as not to use root for irc.
[04:31] <rls> shepster
[04:31] <rls> thanks
[04:32] <NoklaM> sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade
[04:42] <shepster> .!
[18:48] <ssj71> I want to patch the lowlatency kernel, but I'm not sure how to apply the config to the kernel src
[18:49] <ssj71> I ran apt-get source linux-image-lowlatency and all it has is the debian dir
[18:51] <ssj71> do I just copy that directory into the kernel source?
[19:57] <zequence> ssj71: Yes. -lowlatency is just a small config diff, plus some debian/control differences.
[19:58] <zequence> So, patching -lowlatency is not much different from patching -generic. Question is, which kernel config do you want to use, and which dependencies for the kernel?
[20:11] <ssj71> I want the lowlatency kernel, + a little patch for my backlight
[20:11] <ssj71> but when I tried to apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) it defaulted to the generic kernel source
[20:12] <ssj71> I tried with linux-image-lowatency which is the meta package IIUC and all it gave me was the debian folder
[20:13] <ssj71> Its currently compiling with make (I was going to try manually installing) but once thats done I'll try copying the folder and using the debian/rules
[20:31] <ssj71> zequence: doing so gave me "no rule to make target 'binary-headers' stop"
[20:35] <ssj71> ls
[21:20] <zequence> Been a while since I tried building the lowlatency kernel, and I have never tried since it was merged with -generic.
[21:21] <zequence> Somehow, all of them are built from the same source
[21:21] <zequence> You could ask for some quick tips on #ubuntu-kernel
[21:22] <zequence> Like "How to build -lowlatency kernel?". And, mention you are going to patch it before you build it.
[21:23] <ssj71> zequence: ok. thanks!
[21:58] <zequence> ssj71: btw, the patch for your backlight, is that something that gets included in newer kernels?
[21:58] <zequence> You could just install the kernel from the development version of Ubuntu, if it already has that
[22:00] <zequence> You could try adding the newer repos to your apt sources, then do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade linux-lowlatency
