[03:27] <nils_> I'm having trouble building the vanilla kernel under yakkety (otherwise it works great btw), Cannot use CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR: -fstack-protector not supported by compiler
[03:29] <nils_> it works with the ubuntu sources, I assume there is some sort of patch in play?
[09:18] <foormea> hi! on kubuntu 16.04, sudo do-release-upgrade -d     tells me that there's no new release. is that expected? thanks!
[09:19] <k1l_> make the release prompt to look for normal releases, not only lts
[09:20] <foormea> thanks k1l_ reading up on it
[14:43] <nils_> is there somewhere I can see the individual patchsets applied to the ubuntu kernel? I'm unable to build the vanilla kernel tree with gcc 6.2 from 16.10
[14:46] <Dreaman> why not update kernel to 4.8 final
[14:47] <k1l> nils_: look at the wiki pages from the kernel team. there is some info
[14:47] <nils_> it's been out for like 3 days, I don't expect them to be that fast.
[14:49] <nils_> k1l, didn't really find anything, it's easier with regular packages since the patches are usually provided as a tar file.
[14:49] <k1l> !info linux-generic
[14:49] <k1l> Dreaman: ^
[14:49] <nils_> I pulled the source for that, it appears to be rc7.
[14:49] <Dreaman> this is not final
[14:50] <Dreaman> i manual install :)
[14:50] <Dreaman> final
[14:50] <Dreaman> just 1 moment
[14:51] <nils_> of course I could just diff the rc7 tree against the ubuntu source, but I'd like to know which individual patch makes the -fstack-protector thing work with gcc 6.2. Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
[14:53] <Dreaman> reboot i install
[14:57] <Dreaman> nikolov@ubuntu-ivan:~$ inxi -F
[14:57] <Dreaman> System:    Host: ubuntu-ivan Kernel: 4.8.0-040800-generic x86_64 (64 bit)
[14:57] <Dreaman>            Desktop: Unity 7.5.0  Distro: Ubuntu 16.10
[14:57] <Dreaman> work :)
[15:00] <nils_> figured it out.
[15:03] <nils_> gcc on 16.10 will set -fpie by default, adding -fno-pie to KBUILD_CFLAGS in the top level Makefile makes the kernel build.
[15:04] <nils_> so in conclusion, I could have helped myself with a simple diff of the Makefile ;)
[22:14] <tyrog> Hi, is it possible to download Ubuntu 16.10 with the Unity 8 desktop out of the box? Or there is only the classic Unity 7 version? Thanks
[22:23] <OerHeks> tyrog, i just read that unity8 will be an option > http://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-16-10-yakkety-yak-to-ship-with-an-optional-unity-8-session-after-all-508994.shtml
[22:23] <OerHeks> release 13th .. 7 days to go
[22:24] <tyrog> OerHeks: Yeah, after asking I also checked a similar news. Nice!
[22:24] <tyrog> It still seems very alpha state though, not ready to be a real replacement on a desktop IMHO
[22:24] <OerHeks> i knew it would be an option, installing that is
[22:24] <tyrog> For now...
[22:24] <OerHeks> Beta*
[22:25] <tyrog> Yes, there is always that option, but I hope it is considered as a default option for 17.04. That's the main reason why intermediate releases between LTSs exist
[22:29] <tyrog> OerHeks: I think it looks nice but still feels a bit phone-ish in the user experience
