[08:12] <apw> asala (N,BTOW5MBFTL) they have checksums and signatures for the checksums ...
[10:49] <_ami_> if i raise patch for ubuntu kernel, will it automatically reach to upstream linux kernel repo later on?
[10:51] <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.
[10:52] <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
[10:54] <_ami_> apw: :), i started learning device driver few weeks back. i think on 27th Aug last month. 
[10:55] <_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
[10:57] <ogra_> no risk no fun !
[10:58] <ogra_> (someone had to ... sorry :) )
[11:01] <_ami_> ogra_: indeed, it is.
[11:05] <_ami_> i want to discuss abt gpio subsystem in kernel 
[11:06] <_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.
[11:07] <_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*
[11:08] <_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?
[11:10] <_ami_> gpiod_ API will also require too for this. 
[11:11] <_ami_> apw: should i start working on it? By implementation, i shall learn more abt kernel.

[14:58] <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?
[15:22] <ricotz> willcooke, I guess you want to specify what you mean with USB-C ;)
[15:23] <ricotz> I assume you are referring to Thunderbolt 3
[15:25] <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"

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