[03:27] 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] it works with the ubuntu sources, I assume there is some sort of patch in play? [09:18] hi! on kubuntu 16.04, sudo do-release-upgrade -d tells me that there's no new release. is that expected? thanks! [09:19] make the release prompt to look for normal releases, not only lts [09:20] thanks k1l_ reading up on it [14:43] 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] why not update kernel to 4.8 final [14:47] nils_: look at the wiki pages from the kernel team. there is some info [14:47] it's been out for like 3 days, I don't expect them to be that fast. [14:49] k1l, didn't really find anything, it's easier with regular packages since the patches are usually provided as a tar file. [14:49] !info linux-generic [14:49] linux-generic (source: linux-meta): Complete Generic Linux kernel and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 4.8.0.17.27 (yakkety), package size 1 kB, installed size 12 kB [14:49] Dreaman: ^ [14:49] I pulled the source for that, it appears to be rc7. [14:49] this is not final [14:50] i manual install :) [14:50] final [14:50] just 1 moment [14:51] 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] reboot i install === JanC is now known as Guest96823 === JanC_ is now known as JanC [14:57] nikolov@ubuntu-ivan:~$ inxi -F [14:57] System: Host: ubuntu-ivan Kernel: 4.8.0-040800-generic x86_64 (64 bit) [14:57] Desktop: Unity 7.5.0 Distro: Ubuntu 16.10 [14:57] work :) [15:00] figured it out. [15:03] 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] so in conclusion, I could have helped myself with a simple diff of the Makefile ;) === hasselmm1 is now known as hasselmm [22:14] 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] 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] release 13th .. 7 days to go [22:24] OerHeks: Yeah, after asking I also checked a similar news. Nice! [22:24] It still seems very alpha state though, not ready to be a real replacement on a desktop IMHO [22:24] i knew it would be an option, installing that is [22:24] For now... [22:24] Beta* [22:25] 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] OerHeks: I think it looks nice but still feels a bit phone-ish in the user experience
