| apw | asala (N,BTOW5MBFTL) they have checksums and signatures for the checksums ... | 08:12 |

| _ami_ | if i raise patch for ubuntu kernel, will it automatically reach to upstream linux kernel repo later on? | 10:49 |
| apw | _ami_, we will normally recommend you send it upstream yourself if you are able, you get the credit etc | 10:51 |
| _ami_ | apw: ok. | 10:51 |
| apw | _ami_, if you want it reviewed before or just don't want to deal with upstream, we might be persuaded to help etc | 10:52 |
| apw | they can be somewhat abrasive | 10:52 |
| _ami_ | apw: :), i started learning device driver few weeks back. i think on 27th Aug last month. | 10:54 |
| _ami_ | i did raise two patches to upstream yet (very small ones). one got rejected by saying its not real improvement though. | 10:55 |
| _ami_ | 2nd is yet to get reviewed. | 10:55 |
| _ami_ | so i know what you meant abt abrasive. :) | 10:55 |
| apw | _ami_, change is always risky, and they tend to be risk averse | 10:55 |
| ogra_ | no risk no fun ! | 10:57 |
| ogra_ | (someone had to ... sorry :) ) | 10:58 |
| _ami_ | ogra_: indeed, it is. | 11:01 |
| _ami_ | i want to discuss abt gpio subsystem in kernel | 11:05 |
| _ami_ | by looking at the gpiolib-sysfs code, i can see there is no support of pullupdown ctrl on GPIO pins. | 11:06 |
| _ami_ | i think there should be a device attribute file to control pulldownup of GPIO pins. | 11:06 |
| _ami_ | Many MCUs support it. like atmel avrs (although they have weird way of enabling pull ups :) ) | 11:07 |
| _ami_ | rpi2 GPIOs pins are also have this ctrs. | 11:07 |
| _ami_ | ctrl* | 11:07 |
| _ami_ | so i wonder if its a good idea to support pulldownup in linux kernel? | 11:08 |
| _ami_ | what do you guys think abt it? | 11:08 |
| _ami_ | gpiod_ API will also require too for this. | 11:10 |
| _ami_ | apw: should i start working on it? By implementation, i shall learn more abt kernel. | 11:11 |

| willcooke | hi all, I'm being asked if USB-C "will be properly supported" in 16.10. Assuming it's an Intel chipset, does any know if there any significant improvements coming down the pipe? | 14:58 |
| ricotz | willcooke, I guess you want to specify what you mean with USB-C ;) | 15:22 |
| ricotz | I assume you are referring to Thunderbolt 3 | 15:23 |
| willcooke | hmm, good questions and I'm not sure I know the answers. I guess this boils down to "are there newer Intel USB 3x chipset drivers in the kernel in 16.10" | 15:25 |

| manjo | rtg, is it possible to turn on udeb builds in tangerine ? is there some flag I can set to turn on udebs ? | 17:00 |
| rtg | manjo, disable_d_i | 17:01 |
| manjo | rtg, disable_d_i=false ? | 17:01 |
| rtg | manjo, 'disable_d_i=' | 17:01 |
| manjo | ah cool thanks | 17:02 |
