| apw | manjo, there is not tags on unstable ... you'd be better off basing them on where you want them applied | 06:16 |
|---|---|---|
| LocutusOfBorg | please please take the virtualbox modules from xenial and put in kernel | 07:10 |
| LocutusOfBorg | serious fixes for xorg 1.18 and rootless mode | 07:10 |
| LocutusOfBorg | you don't need the xorg-legacy package anymore | 07:10 |
| LocutusOfBorg | (guest-modules of course) | 07:10 |
| LocutusOfBorg | you can even see the patch (diff from the -2 and -3) | 07:11 |
| infinity | Might be a bit late for that. | 07:23 |
| apw | infinity, i guess i should at least queue those up in case there is any kind of respin for some other reaosn | 07:25 |
| * infinity nods. | 07:25 | |
| infinity | apw: And test build it for sanity. The update is rather... Extensive. | 07:26 |
| apw | sigh | 07:26 |
| apw | we love extensive changes after freeze, please bring it on | 07:26 |
| infinity | Yup. | 07:26 |
| infinity | apw: I love how the update script tells you how to grab and unpack the deb instead of just, y'know, grabbing and unpacking the deb. | 07:27 |
| apw | oh it has no version | 07:27 |
| infinity | If it took a version arg instead of a path, it could wget and unpack and import. | 07:28 |
| infinity | Or if could just pull-lp-source the latest from the current series with no args. | 07:28 |
| infinity | s/if/it/ | 07:28 |
| infinity | But whatever. I just always find it entertaining when the comments of a shell script are effectively more shell script. :) | 07:28 |
| apw | yeah lazyness on my part for sure | 07:29 |
| infinity | "Execute these shell commands before calling this shell command." | 07:29 |
| infinity | Err, pull-lp-source wouldn't work. But you know what I mean. Query the version somehow and wget from the pool, I guess. | 07:31 |
| infinity | I wasn't being critical so much as amused, though. :) | 07:31 |

| apw | yep, it clearly should take a version at least | 07:46 |
| apw | LocutusOfBorg, gads why is this about 10 billion lines | 07:46 |
| LocutusOfBorg | apw, I think the kernel module is not so extensive | 09:31 |
| LocutusOfBorg | unfortunately I had to take the whole patch, to be safe ;) | 09:31 |
| LocutusOfBorg | they had to implement a new driver, working with rootless xorg | 09:31 |
| LocutusOfBorg | otherwise it wouldn't work at all | 09:31 |
| LocutusOfBorg | looking at src/Vbox/Additions/linux changes, it isn't so scary | 09:36 |
| LocutusOfBorg | https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-virtualbox/virtualbox.git/commit/?id=cc16e5049641855149fe9d6b091415bebcc58d3d | 09:36 |
| LocutusOfBorg | and many fixes are ifdefs for the kernel 4.6 (sigh I already got two bug reports about people not being able to build it damn) | 09:36 |
| infinity | Oh? | 09:37 |
| infinity | Built fine for me. | 09:37 |
| infinity | Won't insert, because I have secureboot enabled, but... :P | 09:37 |
| apw | infinity, heh | 09:37 |
| LocutusOfBorg | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/virtualbox/+bug/1569989 | 09:41 |
| ubot5` | Launchpad bug 1569989 in virtualbox (Ubuntu) "virtualbox-dkms 5.0.16-dfsg-2: virtualbox kernel module failed to build for kernel 4.6 [error: implicit declaration of function ‘page_cache_release’]" [Undecided,Fix released] | 09:42 |
| LocutusOfBorg | I remember another one with the same issue, but on guest-dkms | 09:42 |
| LocutusOfBorg | it affect host and guest, by sharedfolders module as you can see with a find on the above commitid on virtualbox.git | 09:44 |
| LocutusOfBorg | that page_cache_release is used in three places | 09:44 |
| LocutusOfBorg | infinity, you might have built only the video driver? :) | 09:44 |
| apw | infinity, LocutusOfBorg, ok build tested and pull-request out .. if we have a respin we can try and slip it in | 11:40 |
| LocutusOfBorg | <3 apw | 11:41 |
| LocutusOfBorg | apw, do you have any git link? I would like to one day understand more about the ubuntu kernel | 12:24 |
| LocutusOfBorg | and maybe ask pull-requests by myself :) | 12:24 |
| apw | LocutusOfBorg, is on our kernel-team@ list | 12:24 |
| LocutusOfBorg | oh... no git? | 12:25 |
| apw | the pull request contains the git | 12:25 |
| LocutusOfBorg | thanks | 12:26 |
| LocutusOfBorg | yeah | 12:26 |
| LocutusOfBorg | so you just grab the virtualbox-guest-source and commit the files? | 12:26 |
| LocutusOfBorg | BTW I'm not upstream, but meh :) | 12:27 |
| apw | LocutusOfBorg, you are "my upstream" though | 12:29 |
| LocutusOfBorg | :) | 12:36 |
