[13:11] <gpiccoli> Hi, sorry to bother you. Just a quick question: Ubuntu 14.04.5 kernel is the _same_ of Xenial? I know they are the same version, but just want to be sure they are exactly the same build
[13:11] <apw> gpiccoli, they are not exactly the same build, they are the same source but built locally in each release
[13:11] <gpiccoli> OK, but source is the same, right apw? This is the important part for me hehehe
[13:11] <gpiccoli> Thanks very much!
[13:12] <apw> there is potential for configuration differences between them, though i believe there are none for X lts-X
[13:13] <apw> the lts-X tree is built by applying the packaging delta to teh same base tree which was uploaded for X
[13:18] <gpiccoli> Okay, very nice! Thanks for the information apw
[19:11] <gQuigs> while the cycle starting on Aug 5th (05-Aug through 27-Aug) also include the upstream fixes from 4.4.16?
[19:12]  * gQuigs is specifically interested in bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1568729 with which the fixes appear to have already landed upstream in 4.4.16
[19:13] <gQuigs> btw, http://status.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/kernel-bugs/reports/sru-report.html still doesn't show xenial SRUs (acaict)
[20:18] <Guest55667> Hello there
[20:18] <Guest55667> I am testing 4.7 on my Dell Precision 5510
[20:18] <Guest55667> I notice there are no dell_wmi and dell_laptop modules included
[20:18] <Guest55667> unlike 4.6.x
[20:19] <Guest55667> without those, things like special hotkeys don't work
[20:19] <Guest55667> is there any known reason for why these modules are missing in 4.7?
[20:27] <gQuigs> Guest55667: how did you get 4.7?
[20:28] <Guest55667> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7/
[21:12] <Guest55667> I guess there is no easy answer... thanks!
[21:19] <gQuigs> sorry, yea, I didn't find an answer
[21:20] <gQuigs> if you stay around long enough you might still get an answer though
[21:27] <Guest55667> thanks for your effort
[21:27] <Guest55667> I'll stick around for another while
[21:33] <rtg> Guest55667, enabling CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS=m did the trick, i.e., CONFIG_DELL_WMI=m was dependent on CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS. I'll get apw to turn the crank again.
[21:35] <Guest55667> cool
[21:35] <Guest55667> so there's hope for 4.7.1 then?
[21:35] <Guest55667> thanks a lot
[22:00] <apw> rtg, i assume you mean rebuilding v4.7 mainline ... and done
[22:01] <rtg> apw, yup, thanks
[22:01] <apw> (it'll be an hour before it publishes)
[22:01] <rtg> JanDrewes, ^^
[22:05] <JanDrewes> ah
[22:05] <JanDrewes> thanks, that was fast
[22:06] <JanDrewes> I will check it out but I'll need longer than you... my internet is slow download alone will be several minutes
[22:07] <JanDrewes> hm, no change visible under the below link
[22:07] <JanDrewes> http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7/
[22:12] <JanDrewes> oh my I should read better
[22:12] <JanDrewes> 1h before it publishes
[22:13] <JanDrewes> so then I'll check it out tomorrow, it's midnight in Italy
[22:13] <JanDrewes> thanks a lot in any case!
