[06:47] <lorddoskias> where can i see the changelogs for the latest ubuntu kernel releases?
[07:30] <smb> lorddoskias, If those are not yet shown in the update notifications, one place would be https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+publishinghistory (you would need to click on the version numbers in the last column)
[07:30] <lorddoskias> smb: thank you 
[08:14] <alkisg> Hi, while adding support for raspberry pi in LTSP, I'm wondering which one should be the recommented kernel, linux-image-raspi2 from the stock ubuntu repositories, or raspberrypi-bootloader which is what ubuntu-mate ships with...
[08:15] <alkisg> And if it's the first one, where would the users get the firmware then, is it available in another .deb package?
[08:28] <ppisati> alkisg: i'm not familiar with raspberrypi-bootloader in ubuntu-mate, does it contain a kernel?
[08:28] <alkisg> ppisati: yes, and also the firmware
[08:28] <alkisg> Let me upload the dpkg -L somewhere...
[08:30] <alkisg> ppisati: http://paste.ubuntu.com/22784924/
[08:31] <alkisg> It's very convinent because I only need to copy the /boot folder to netbooted clients, it has config.txt and kernel.img and the device tree and everything inside there
[08:32] <alkisg> *convenient
[08:32] <ppisati> looks like they packaged the binary kernel from the raspberry foundation
[08:36] <ppisati> alkisg: for the ubuntu side of your question, linux-raspi2 contains only the kernel and dtbs
[08:36] <ppisati> alkisg: while for the firmware (bootloaders stuff&c), it's here: linux-firmware-raspi2
[08:39] <alkisg> ppisati: thank you... I guess the other part of the question should by asked to flexiondotorg, for which specific reasons he bothered to create raspberrypi-bootloader...
[08:49] <flexiondotorg> The Pi image for Ubuntu MATE use the kernel from the Raspberry Pi Foundation, as it is packaged for Raspbian. Therefore, I also use the same bootloader, firmware and blobs that that kernel requires.
[08:50] <flexiondotorg> I would like to start working towards using the raspi2 kernel in Ubuntu in future releases though.
[08:53] <alkisg> flexiondotorg: so for newly created chroots, e.g. for LTSP netbooted clients, would you recommend the -raspi2 approach?
[08:56] <alkisg> LTSP users normally have an i386/amd64 server, and run `ltsp-build-client -a armhf` to generate a chroot for their raspberries, which is something like `debootstrap` and `apt install ubuntu-mate-desktop ltsp-client`, so they don't need to download the ubuntu mate image at all...
[09:09] <alkisg> ppisati: linux-firmware-raspi2.postinst fails in chroots for 2 reasons, (1) the directory /boot/firmware doesn't exist, and then after manually creating it, (2) /bin/sync: error syncing '/boot/firmware/bootcode.bin': Function not implemented
[09:09] <alkisg> Should I file a bug report there?
[09:10] <alkisg> For (1), a `mkdir -p /boot/firmware` should suffice, while for (2), a `|| true` should allow it to finish until qemu implements the sync call...
[09:15] <alkisg> ...or, maybe it shouldn't bother creating a firmware folder at all, chroots don't need it
[09:40] <ppisati> alkisg: wait, hold on
[09:42]  * alkisg waits :)
[09:55] <ppisati> alkisg: i thought these problems were already resolved
[09:58] <alkisg> ppisati: I have: linux-firmware-raspi2 1.20151118+b70b451-0ubuntu1
[09:59] <alkisg> (whatever comes with 16.04)
[09:59] <alkisg> Maybe some missing SRU? /me checks the bug reports...
[10:00] <alkisg> Nope, I couldn't find any related bug reports, and it's the same version that even yakkety ships, so I guess the problems are still there
[15:46] <xnox> bjf, given apw is afk can we cowboy  zfcpdump-kernel into yakkety new? =)
[15:46]  * xnox highlights ogasawara too
[15:46] <xnox> from the bootstrap ppa
[15:51] <ogasawara> xnox: I thought we just agreed that it could wait until apw returns?
[15:53] <xnox> ogasawara, is he gonna be back before feature-freeze, or will it not matter for the feature freeze as it's not really new package?
[15:53] <ogasawara> hrm, when is feature freeze?
[15:54] <xnox> 18th of august, next thursday
[15:54]  * xnox checks again
[15:54] <xnox> last i pinged apw, he was like yeah it should be uploaded - somewhere in this channel backscroll.
[15:54] <xnox> 17
[15:54] <xnox> August 18th
[15:54] <xnox> Warning /!\ FeatureFreeze, Warning /!\ DebianImportFreeze
[15:55] <xnox> 17 is WorkWeek number
[15:55] <ogasawara> xnox: ack.  so no, apw will not be back before then.
[15:56] <xnox> although we should have it in 16.10, it will only matter to ibm once it's in 16.04. And we will have to SRU it somehow anyway.
[15:56] <xnox> It does Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 9), linux-source-4.4.0, bc
[15:57] <xnox> such that when 4.6 hits the archive, it will stop be buildable in yakkety =(
[15:57] <xnox> ogasawara, are you gonna land 4.6 without apw?
[15:58] <xnox> oh, 4.8 is targetted for 16.10, as per newsletters
[15:59] <ogasawara> xnox: indeed, the final target is v4.8, and v4.7 is released...ideally we'd get v4.6 up now-ish and then rev to v4.7
[15:59] <ogasawara> xnox: indeed it would be nice to have apw around when we made the jump though
[16:00] <xnox> rightio, and i think apw only ever wanted to maintain one series of zfcdump-kernel, and i'm guessing he'd want 4.4 one in both yakkety & xenial.
[16:00] <xnox> so i think i'm gonna rest the case until he is back, to figure out what to do, cause possibly zfcdump-kernel will need to include linux-source-4.4 inside it, rather than as a build-dep.
[16:01] <ogasawara> xnox: ack
